Definitions

• the object of this invention is a construction for mounting a stationary glazing outside the actual wall structure, this way a so called double frontal can be constituted, which function in addition to a architectorical function is for example to protect from the weather, reduce noise and prevent solar detriment heat.
• Known double frontal construction types are generally either passive outer covering or full glass facade, which actively reacts to the conditions in a gap space.
• Construction technically the support skeleton constructions can be be divided into three different groups: skeleton supported as a projection, hang out skeleton and frame construction.
• skeleton supported as a projection skeleton supported as a projection
• hang out skeleton skeleton supported as a projection
• frame construction Usually steel, stainless steel or aluminium is used as skeleton material.
• the double frontal is constructed by simple projection balks from the areas of midsoles.
• a fastening is attached at the areas of floors to the edge of the midsole plate, to which fastening a steel profile is attached.
• a double frontal is constructed by hanging the constructions by bars and pipes from eaves or from the level of the midsoles.
• An outer cover is hanged by pull bars from the projection balks in the roof and is supported in layers to the construction body by horizontal or bias poles and are possibly also hung from the middle.
• a frontal construction is formed by a pilar behind the glass covering and balks attached to the body.
• the outside glass is supported from four sides and the horizontal profiles are supported to the inner cover.
• the glasses When attaching the glasses in some of the previously known glass frontals the glasses are supported from their lower and upper sides by horizontal steel constructions which rest on the construction body.
• the upright joints of the glasses are sealed by colorless silicone or by us- ing glazing molding joints.
• the glass plates can also be attached in the form of dots horizontally from their sides to the body of the building by poles.
• One alternative is also to form a shingle-like structure by overlapping the glass plates on top of each other.
• the outer frontal In the before mentioned known double frontals to clean the mid space and the inner side of the glasses of the outer glass frontal, the outer frontal must be located a distance from the wall surface to enable passing through and must be equipped with service planes. In addition an inconvenience in these kind of constructions is the difficult adjustability while installing.
• the object of the present invention is to achieve a frontal glazing that opens outwards.
• the advantage of the frontal glazing opening outwards is the possibility to mount it near the actual wall structure and attach it directly to it.
• This objective can be achieved according to the invention by using an element system purposed for making a double frontal, which system is buildt from a skeleton element constructed e.g. from aluminium profiles and from a glass element which is attached by means of hinges. With the help of the element system a cladding which extends as an uniform surface at least to a floor height is achieved.
• the glass element can be frame constructed and comprise a gasket part which attaches it water-tightly to the skeleton element.
• the frame construction can preferably be formed so that it comprises the other hinge leaf.
• the profiles of the skeleton element of the cladding according to the invention are formed so that e.g. the outer side of the other upright side and the upper side has a channel, next to or above which the assembled element is locked.
• the skeleton element is attached from the flange of the channel-like side to the wall structure, the opposite side of the next element is placed in to the channel and fastened from the corresponding flange and so on. In fastenings and joint points the motion margin needed for thermal expansion are considered.
• the construction of the cladding is planned so that a large glass panel can be used, when the glass surface extends past the windows at the actual wall structure. To prevent solar detriment heat an effective airing must be arranged in the interspace. This can be accomplished e.g.
• the shape of the element is chosen to be narrow and high, preferably a floor height shape, and the construction is so planned that the upright sides are settled tightly against the wall surface and there is an air gap between the horizontal balks and the wall.
• the elements assembled on top of each other form a flue which makes the airing more effective.
• the cladding glazing can function as an additional thermal insulation of the wall if the airing of the space between is delimited to a minimum.
• this is accomplished so that the air gap of one or both horizontal balks is adjusted by arranging apertures to a flange which extends from the balk to the wall surface and which is covered by a similarly apertured block plate, by moving of which the size of the apertures can be adjusted.
• the movement of the adjusting plate is carried out to be adjustable according to the temperature of the outside air by deploying a Bl-metal or similarly function- ing means to the construction.
• the adjusting can also be carried out with a closed adjusting plate turning apart from the apertured side.
• the cladding construction is not dependent on one element, as a single element is easier to replace and the construction intrinsically is safe.
• the glass frontals frequently need cleaning and maintenance because glass must be clean to fulfill requirements set for it.
• the inside cleaning of the glass does not require extra space between the outer covering and the actual wall because each glass is openable and so locateable in direct vicinity of the wall.
• the glasses can be cleaned from the outside of the building by using external temporary, moving cranes or person lifts, which do not have to be implemented in the construction. This saves costs espe- cially in the construction phase and the maintenance does not affect disturbance to building users.

From these three attachments preferably the middle one 3 is immovably fastening and the other two attachments 4 and 5 are implemented so that the thermal expansion of a single element is taken in to consideration. This is possible for example, when screw attachment is used, by making an oval-shaped hole instead of a tight circle-shaped hole.

• the elements are attached also from their upper or lower side in a corresponding matter considering the thermal expansion of a single element.
• the second element 2 is fitted tightly to the first element and is attached similarly as the first element.
• the next element is fitted to it's place and on it's behalf is attached to the actual wall structure at least from one side.
