Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a device for maintenance of elements or panels, glazed or not, which form the facade of a building or similar construction, by constituting what is commonly called in the technique a "curtain wall", this device being specific to support and seal these elements in satisfactory efficiency conditions, limiting the number of pieces required.
  • Curtain wall facades of buildings or other generally have a support frame mounted, at straight from the bare facade, this frame being made up by assembling continuous vertical uprights over the entire the height of the wall and horizontal crosspieces which intersect at the point of their junction with these uprights, delimiting with these cells of general rectangular shape, in each of which comes insert an appropriate element or panel, glazed or not, all of these panels forming the outer wall facade.
  • the uprights and the crosspieces form together, in each of the cells receiving a panel, a rebate open at the bottom of which the periphery of this panel applied against a seal.
  • the panel is then held in place, and in particular tight tightly against the joint carried by the uprights and sleepers, using a plurality of support members, called “clamps", which extend parallel to these uprights and cross members over the entire height and width thereof, these clamps having other seals in their surface directed to the panel, which in turn are applied to the surface of the panel on the opposite side to that which, at the bottom of the rebate, is pressed against the first joint.
  • the panel is thus trapped between the frame of support formed of uprights and crosspieces and clamps, these being immobilized against the latter by means of locking screws which cooperate in particular with an extension radial provided on each upright and cross, in the region that separates two consecutive panels in the facade.
  • a finishing cover can then be put in place on vertical and horizontal clamps fixed against uprights and crosspieces, to frame the panels and form on the peripheral sides of these, towards the outside of the facade, a narrow frame, covering the edges of these panels throughout the curtain wall.
  • the object of the invention is a simplified device which avoids this drawback.
  • the device considered, for maintaining juxtaposed panels, glazed or not, of a curtain wall vertical for building facade or the like, for through a support frame comprising continuous vertical uprights and horizontal crosspieces of connection between these vertical uprights, to delimit with these receiving cells for each of these panels applied to the bottom of an open rebate formed in the cell receiving this panel against a joint seal mounted in the bottom of the rebate and worn by these uprights and crosspieces, this seal being supported on the peripheral edge of the panel, the latter resting on its lower part in the rebate via positioning shims or the like, carried by the sleepers, by means of support pieces, each sleeper having a recipe, said device being characterized in that it comprises, fixed to horizontal beams only, one profile sealing in Z extending along the length of the sleepers, this profile being on the one hand secured in the recipe for each crosspiece by one of the wings of the Z and coming on the other hand to cover the panel located below crosses it along the upper edge of this panel, and at minus a clamping member which rests on the edge top of
  • each glass panel is thus supported along its lower edge in the rebate open from the cell that receives it, through positioning shims resting on the cross member, while that this panel is held simultaneously along its edge upper and lower edge using only pieces tightening, distributed along the length of the crosspieces located above and below this panel, the watertightness of the assembly being carried out, from above the panel, at Z profile which covers the upper edge of this sign.
  • the device also includes, fixed on the vertical uprights of the support frame, additional clamping devices which are based on the side edges of the panels, complementing the effect of the first clamping devices applied on the top and bottom edges of each panel, to perfect the maintenance of it in its cell.
  • the organs of clamps that hold each panel feature in their surface next to it an elastic coating to prevent deterioration of the panel.
  • the organs in their surface opposite to that which leans on the panels hanging means allowing it to be fixed from the outside, preferably at the way of a clip, a decorative cover, which extends advantageously over all or part of the length of the horizontal sleepers or vertical uprights of the armature.
  • each cross member has a median extension projecting outwards, on which can respectively be immobilized Z-shaped sealing profile covering the panel located below and the panel clamps located above and below the sleeper.
  • the reference 1 designates very schematic a curtain wall for a building facade, mainly comprising a support frame 2 formed vertical uprights 3 suitably spaced and extending continuously over the entire height of the wall, these vertical uprights being joined by crosspieces horizontal 4, extending between these uprights at intervals regular depending on the height of the latter.
  • the uprights 3 and the crosspieces 4 thus delimit in the support frame 2 a plurality of cells 5, open to the outside and intended to receive in a open rebate delimiting each of these cells, panels 6, which in the example considered are panels glazed but which might as well be panels full. These panels, juxtaposing over the entire surface of the wall, give it a particular aspect, practically without a solution of continuity, the edges panels adjacent to the uprights and sleepers being separated by a minimum clearance which can be subsequently hidden from the outside by elongated decorative rods or covers coming to adapt beyond the glass panels on the frame.
  • Figure 2 schematically illustrates in section, a horizontal cross member 4 of a frame 2, made of a as is known in the art, this cross member being associated with two neighboring glass panels 6, superimposed in the surface of the curtain wall, these panels being so classic preferably made up of two panes parallels 8 and 9, separated along their periphery by a spacer 10.
  • the two panels shown can, depending on their location in the wall surface curtain, possibly have different dimensions and in particular separate thicknesses of a panel with the other.
  • the cross 4 has a median extension 11, which extends horizontally between the two panels 6 shown, this extension presenting its end facing outward from the curtain wall a ribbed recipe 12 or other means of attachment equivalent, preferably from manufacturing with the profile which constitutes the cross member, in particular by spinning of this profile and into which a screw 13 which fixes a support member 14 on the extension, says "error", thus being directly part of the frame 2.
  • This error member 14 extends over the entire length of the corresponding horizontal crosspiece 4 and is secured by a plurality of screws distributed along this length, in coming to hold the glass panels 6 by their side external.
  • Identical provisions are provided for each amount vertical 3 of the support frame 2, so that the panels 6 are thus held on their four edges peripherals in each of the cells 5, being there completely immobilized.
  • Seals respectively 15 and 16, are provided in each crosspiece 4 (as in each upright 3) on the one hand, in error 14 on the other hand, these seals being anchored in appropriate grooves 17 and 18 provided in the facing pieces so as to apply against the panes 8 and 9 on either side thereof, thus ensuring the watertight blocking of the panels against the armature.
  • Figures 3 to 5 illustrate the device perfected in accordance with the invention, so as to effectively maintain glass panels curtain wall, avoiding these drawbacks.
  • the maintenance of the panels 6 in the cells 5, as well as the sealing towards the exterior of these panels is mainly provided to the means of clamping members 21, which are distributed locally according to the dimension of each of the panels, being fixed from place to place on each of the horizontal crosspieces 4, in combination with a Z 22 sealing profile, also secured to these same sleepers.
  • These organs clamps can be made of any material having sufficient rigidity and mechanical strength, for example made of metal or a rigid plastic material, polyamide type.
  • the crosspiece 4 shown has a support element 25 receiving the panel 6 located above this cross; this panel resting on this support 25 via a shim of thickness 26 allowing its adjustment suitable for the frame 2.
  • This profile 22 advantageously made of a material flexible suitable such as neoprene, PVC or a synthetic rubber of EPDM type, is made so to cover the panel 6 located below over the entire length of it, so the rainwater that trickle down the curtain wall 1, so be prevented from coming into the cells 5 behind the panels 6 which they contain.
  • each error advantageously comprising a central plate 29 finished by two bosses such as 30 at the ends of this plate, these bosses coming to be applied on the lower edges and upper of the panels 6 respectively located above and below the clamping member, in the cells 5 correspondents.
  • each organ of clamping 21 may have in its surface opposite a panel 6, in particular to the right of the bosses 30 which are in contact with the panel, an elastic coating (not shown) which prevents deterioration of the panel, especially when it is glazed.
  • the maintenance of the panels can be completed using complementary clamping members 23, fixed according to the height of vertical uprights 3, as more particularly shown in Figure 3.
  • These organs 23 preferably comprise, like the clamping members 21, an elastic coating in their parts which come to the panel contact.
  • each clamping member 21 and / or 23 also includes external returns 31 allowing the fixing a decorative cover 24, similar to that set parallel place on the associated support elements 23 to the vertical uprights 3 of the frame.
  • the organs of clamping 21 can have the same profile as the support elements 23, only being modified the means of fixing of these clamping members on the sleepers or amounts respectively, as shown in Figures 4 and 5 in particular.
  • FIG 5 completes the explanations given in this above, in particular with regard to the respective role of the organs tightening 21 and 23, showing that the fixing of panels on the frame only depends on these, regardless of the role that they can also play for the support of the decorative covers 24.
  • a simple device is thus produced, allowing significant savings in materials required and assembly fast and safe, this device also ensures perfectly efficient mounting of glass panels, watertightness being obtained vis-à-vis the frame by the joints provided at the bottom of the rabbet of each cell receiving such a sign.
  • clamping members 21 and 23 can be made of metal or in the form of injected parts made of synthetic material, for example polyamide.
  • clamping members 21 and 23 envisaged in the example described, which hold the glass panels at several distinct points locally distributed, could be formed using a single piece extending continuously over the entire length of the cross member, like the flexible sealing profile in Z 22, mounted at the upper part of these panels.
