Definitions

  • the present invention relates to the field of fixing means and relates more particularly to a system for fastening panels of fragile material to a bearing structure by means of point fasteners.
  • the object of the present invention is to provide a simple point fixing system but still satisfactory from the point of view of aesthetic requirements and which fits substantially in the plane of the panel.
  • the subject of the invention is a system for fastening a panel of fragile material to a supporting structure, comprising at least one point fastener in engagement with at least one first contact zone made in the panel, which is characterized in that said point fastener comprises a first anchoring portion at a first contact area and a second anchoring portion at a second contact area, the first and second anchoring portions being on the one hand, connected by at least one adjusting device adapted to bear the first and second anchoring parts against respectively the first and second contact areas and on the other hand, located in the plane of the panel.
  • the invention is thus adapted to the fixing of glass panels of all types: monolithic, laminated, or multiple with optionally laminated glass sheets separated by blades of air or other gas, the glass not being necessarily tempered, or if necessary with less stringent quenching requirements.
  • adjustment device makes it possible to induce in the plane of the panels compressive stresses which will oppose the mechanical stresses, in particular traction forces, during the fixing of said panel to the supporting structure, or to another panel.
  • the fastening system according to the invention allows the attachment of vertical or inclined panels, especially for screens or facade facings right, point fasteners taking only the weight of the glazing or other.
  • the system makes it possible to resume almost completely the vertical component of the forces to which the panel is subjected.
  • the invention also relates to the application of a fastening system as described above to the realization of a roof or facade panels of fragile material, including glass.
  • these panels may have a relative movement between them, such as in particular a sliding, a pivoting
  • the figure 1 has a screen or more commonly called "diffuser screen” in this technical field, consisting of at least one glass panel 1, this glass panel being intended to be suspended from a support structure using at least one system fixing 2 according to the invention.
  • two or more adjacent point fasteners can be attached to the structure via a connecting piece with two or more arms.
  • the figure 2 presents a detail of realization of the panel 1 of the figure 1 , at one of its corners.
  • the panel 1 is provided with a first contact zone 3 and a contact zone 4 positioned substantially on either side of an axis of symmetry of said panel 1, in this case according to one of its diagonals .
  • These first and second contact areas 3, 4 are located respectively at two adjacent edges 5, 6 of the panel 1 and have an open portion allowing the passage of at least one point fastener 7.
  • these contact areas may be located on one of the sides of the panel, in a blind hole or opening, or through notches or raised areas (asperities, grooves, lugs ...), or by a pinch type connection.
  • the fastening system 2 represented in figure 2 comprises two point fasteners 7, 8 positioned each on either side of a median plane to said panel.
  • This median plane is substantially parallel to the plane of the panel and is perpendicular to the first and second contact zones 3, 4.
  • Each of the point fasteners is in the form of a U-shaped jumper and is preferably made of a metallic material, in particular stainless steel.
  • Each of the riders (represented in section at the level of the figure 3 ) comprises a central portion 9, 10 and two lateral portions 11, 12, 13, 14.
  • the central portion 9, 10 of each rider bears on the right of each of the first and second contact zones 3, 4 respectively at first and second anchoring portions, while each of the side portions 11, 12, 13, 14 of each of the jumpers positioned on the same side of the panel are interconnected by adjusting devices 15, 16, which are adapted for bring the central parts 9, 10 of the jumpers or within the contact zones 3,4.
  • the adjustment device is a tensioning device which consists of a screw-nut system, the part serving as a nut being for example constituted by a ring, provided with a tapping on its inner wall, this ring being slidably mounted on the a side portion of the jumper, the nut portion being constituted for example by a threaded end of the side portion of the second jumper positioned on the same side of the panel.
  • a torque limiting device including friction for example.
  • the intermediate layer 17 comprises an intermediate element disposed in the vicinity of the bearing zone and optionally an adhesive material deposited on the intermediate element.
  • the intermediate element is a rigid plate, preferably transparent, for example polycarbonate or hard silicone having a Shore D hardness of the order of at least 70 to 75.
  • the glue is advantageously also transparent, especially based on a silicone or acrylic material crosslinkable by UV.
  • the adhesive can be relatively flexible, of lower hardness than that of the intermediate element.
  • an adhesive material having in the cured state a Shore A hardness of the order of 30 to 35, for example of the silicone type makes it possible to form an effective adhesive junction between the intermediate element and the glass panel, whereas the intermediate element confers the necessary rigidity on the intermediate layer 17.
  • the intermediate layer 17 allows an integral transmission of the weight of the panel to the structure without risk of crushing the layer over time through the rigid intermediate element.
  • the remote contact zone of the periphery of the panel comprises a ferrule 18, made of a metallic material.
  • This shell bearing support at the walls of the contact zone makes it possible to mechanically strengthen the walls of the contact zone and consequently to withstand forces induced by the larger fastening system.
  • this collar 18 is provided with a hinge to allow the transmission of any relative movements during assembly of the panel and / or under the effect of localized loads (weight of snow deposit) or thermal expansion of the panel.
  • the joint is constituted by a ball joint or any other equivalent articulation system, which preferably allows an amplitude of movement of at least 5 ° angle in each direction.
  • the fastening system 2 provides a powerful solution that does not require special shaping of the glass panel, the contact areas being easily achievable machining.
  • the fixing solution obtained satisfies the aesthetic requirements of maximum transparency often asked by the architects.
  • the panels to be fixed can be monolithic glazings, laminated, mixed, decorated, but also display panels or panels of fragile natural material such as stone, marble, or synthetic.
  • this fastening system it is possible to connect at least two panels, or at least one panel to a supporting structure, these panels can have relative movements between them (pivoting, sliding) or to perform functions opening, sleeping.
