Description

The invention relates to an effect panel consisting of at least two layers, wherein a first layer as a honeycomb structure with substantially perpendicular to the layers extending Honeycomb openings is formed and wherein a second layer is formed as a glass plate is.

From the document DE 199 00 934 C2 entitled "Multi-layer component" is an off three layers existing plate-shaped object known, its middle position as a honeycomb plate is trained. At least one of the outer layers is formed as a glass plate. As material for the honeycomb panel plastic is specified. Through his Construction is this subject in particular as a mechanically strong component, for example suitable as a tabletop. For use as a window or façade element is this Subject less suitable, especially because the two outer layers of abut the honeycomb panel and therefore no way is provided, the room between the outer layers and the honeycomb panel to air and thereby the formation to avoid condensation.

The invention has for its object to propose a Effektpaneel that for use is suitable as a window or facade element.

To solve this problem, there is a gap between the honeycomb structure and the glass plate available. This distance allows the ventilation of the zone containing the honeycomb structure. Moreover, since it is not the primary task of the effect panel to perform a supporting function, It may be formed in two layers and the honeycomb structure can with respect to construction and Material choice can be varied almost arbitrarily, to achieve the desired effect. With effect in this context is not only the visual impression to understand, but also other physical effects, as explained below.

The effect panel is intended primarily as a design tool for architects. Will it with combined or used as a window, its effect on the Screening to be compared with that of curtains. The effect panel offers during Above all, daylight protection from the outside, depending on the design of the honeycomb structure only marginal daylight into the room and allows to some extent the view into Free. During the night, especially when the room is lit inside and outside darkness prevails, the visibility is reversed. Unlike curtains is but the Seeing better, the farther the viewer is at the effect panel. Furthermore can improve the thermal insulation of windows with the Effektpaneel invention, but also the passive use of solar radiation can be realized. Through the thickness and quality of the glass, the thickness and design of the honeycomb structure, the distance glass Honeycomb and possibly the design of the ventilation cross-section is the damping the solar heat input in a certain range well optimizable.

According to another embodiment of the invention, the honeycomb structure is made of film material, in particular plastic or metal foil material.

Another embodiment provides that the honeycomb structure with a fire retardant is treated. Such effect panels can be used as fire protection elements.

The honeycomb structure may be formed by adjacent pipe segments.

A further embodiment of the invention provides that the clear width of the honeycomb openings and / or the wall thickness between the honeycomb openings over the areal extent the honeycomb structure changed. As a result, many optical effects can be achieved and the mentioned effects regarding privacy, shading and thermal insulation can even vary over the area of the effect panel. The honeycomb structure can be in any Colors are designed. It is even conceivable the inner surfaces of the honeycomb openings to be provided with different colors, so that the color of the effect panel is different appears when viewed from different angles.

According to another embodiment, between the honeycomb structure and the glass plate Spacer provided. As a result, the individual layers of the Effektpaneels do not have necessarily be held together by a frame, but it can, for example Brackets are used. Next, thanks to these spacers too Honeycomb structures are installed with a low rigidity.

If according to a further embodiment, the spacers consist of elongated elements, which are embedded in depressions of the honeycomb structure and over the level of Protruding honeycomb structure at the same time, the stiffness of the honeycomb structure is increased.

According to another embodiment, at least one surface is formed as a glass plate second layer provided with a surface structure, resulting in more design options result.

A further embodiment of the invention provides that a third layer is present, the is formed as a glass plate and that the honeycomb structure between the second and third Location is arranged. In this case, the honeycomb structure at a distance from the second and third Position can be arranged or it can rest on the third layer. When the honeycomb structure on the third layer is applied, it may be connected to this layer by gluing.

According to another embodiment, the first and second layers are surrounded by a frame. In embodiments with three or more layers, of course, all layers be surrounded by a frame. In this case, the frame may have openings that a Allow ventilation of the space between the honeycomb structure and the glass plate.

If, according to another embodiment, the frame contains a honeycomb structure, closed by two glass plates limited space, the effect panel makes practical an insulating glass plate. The limited by two glass plates space can be at least partially evacuated or filled with a gas.

The frame can consist of various materials and profile shapes. If the attachment is provided on the outside of a building, the durability must be respected and possibly existing ventilation openings must be designed to withstand rain be.

The Effektpaneel invention can be combined with insulating glass plates, for example in that the second and / or third layer is a layer of insulating glass plate.

Another aspect of the invention relates to a facade cladding comprising inventive Effect panels. The advantages and design options mentioned above come of course also in the facade cladding to advantage.

According to one embodiment of the cladding, the effect panels can be a third Location containing on which the honeycomb structure is applied and which is not made of glass. The In this case, the third layer may consist of a material which, in terms of and insulation properties seems suitable.

Another embodiment of the facade cladding provides that between the effect panels Façade profiles are arranged. These facade profiles can in a known manner be used to attach the effect panels on the facade.

The embodiments show possible embodiments of the Effektpaneels and the Facade cladding, it being noted at this point that the invention is not limited to the specifically illustrated embodiments thereof is limited, but rather Also various combinations of the individual variants are possible with each other and this possibility of variation on the basis of the doctrine of technical action by representational Invention in the knowledge of those skilled in this technical field lies. So there are all conceivable variants, which by combinations individual details of the illustrated and described embodiment are possible, covered by the scope of protection.

FIG. 1 shows a first, simple embodiment of an effect panel according to the invention. A first layer 1 in the form of a honeycomb structure is at a distance 4 from a second one Layer 2 arranged, which is designed as a glass plate. The figure also shows purely for example and schematically a frame holding the said layers together. A Z-shaped profile 6 surrounds the glass plate 2, a spacer profile 8 and the honeycomb structure 1. An end profile 9 is by fastening means 7, for example screws, on the profile 6 attached. Of course, other frame structures for holding together of the effect panel. Also, the effect panel, as already mentioned, be built without a frame. Such a simple embodiment of the effect panel For example, it can be used indoors as a room partition or outdoors used as enclosure of balconies, terraces and the like. Panels of this Embodiment can also be combined with windows, as below will be explained in more detail.

Figure 2 illustrates a second embodiment of the effect panel according to the invention with three Layers dar. In addition to the two explained in connection with Figure 1 layers is the example According to Figure 2 still a third layer 3 is present, which is also formed as a glass plate is and on which the honeycomb structure 1 is applied. At the honeycomb structure 1, at least at This embodiment, no high requirement in terms of its strength and Stiffness, as it is not burdened by external forces. So that the honeycomb structure 1 maintains its shape, it can either trained sufficiently stable or by appropriate Inserts are reinforced, as explained below. Alternatively or in addition the honeycomb structure 1 can also be connected to the glass plate 3 by gluing, for which purpose a transparent adhesive is advantageously used.

For ventilation by the distance 4 between the honeycomb structure 1 and the glass plate. 2 space are in the frame, especially in its lower and upper area, Openings 10 are provided, of which only one is visible in Figure 2, in the upper Area of the effect panel. By an arrow 11, an air flow is indicated, the said Room flows through and so for example prevents fogging of the glass plate 2. But it is also possible, the entire space between the two glass plates 2 and 3 to close tightly through a suitable frame, to evacuate and possibly with to fill a gas. Suitable gases are pure gases such as carbon dioxide or Nitrogen, but also gas mixtures, as well as noble gases. Even air, previously as complete as possible dehumidified, can be filled in the evacuated room.

FIG. 3 shows an exemplary embodiment of the effect panel, which likewise consists of three layers is constructed, but in which, in contrast to Effektpaneel according to Figure 2, both glass plates 2 and 3 have a distance 4 or 5 to the honeycomb structure. Also in this example the spaces formed by the distances 4 and 5 can be ventilated through openings or but be completely sealed by a suitable frame.

As already mentioned, can be used as a material for the honeycomb structure 1, for example cardboard become. Figures 4 and 5 show, for example, a corrugated cardboard formed Honeycomb structure 1, wherein the figure 4 shows a side view of the corresponding layer 1 and Figure 5 is a view in the direction of arrow V in Figure 4. If necessary, For example, the honeycomb structure 1 may be formed or reinforced such that it is practically loose between the glass plates 2 and 3 stands. FIGS. 4 and 5 show a possibility for Reinforcement of honeycomb structure made of corrugated cardboard in this example 1. Between the layers of corrugated cardboard reinforcing layers 12 are incorporated at intervals, which are more developed or made of a different material than the others Layers.

FIG. 6 shows another example of reinforcement in which slots are formed in the honeycomb structure incorporated, for example, are milled, in which reinforcing bars 13, for example Made of plywood, inserted and optionally secured by gluing. In In some cases it may be sufficient if the slots are filled with a hardening material are.

As FIG. 7 shows, the reinforcing strips 13 can also extend over the surface of the honeycomb structure 1 project and thus at the same time form spacers, which at the Support glass plate 2 or 3. FIG. 8 shows another example of spacers which simultaneously perform a gain function. These are T-profiles 14, for example made of aluminum, which are glued, for example, on the honeycomb structure 1. In some Cases may be sufficient to provide spacers, which the honeycomb structure 1 is not strengthen and which are supported only punctiform on the glass plates 2, 3. FIG. 9 shows such an example, in which arranged in a grid pins 15, the honeycomb structure. 1 penetrate and project on both sides.

The material of the honeycomb structure 1 can be treated with a fire retardant, so the honeycomb structure is fire-resistant or fire-retardant. If the material is made of fibers it can be soaked with the fire-retardant. But it is also possible, the To coat material with fire retardant or in the case of plastic substances with fire retardant effect in the material to integrate.

FIG. 10 shows an embodiment in which an effect panel of the type shown in FIG is combined with an insulating glass 16. The insulating glass itself is made in a known manner two spaced apart glass plates, the space between the glass plates is closed by circumferential sealing means 17.

In the figures, 11 to 13 embodiments of effect panels are shown in at which at least one insulating glass 16 is integrated in the structure of the Effektpaneels. Both Examples according to FIGS. 11 and 12 are the third layer 3 of the effect panel designed as a glass plate at the same time a layer of insulating glass 16. In the example of Figure 12 is in addition also formed as a glass plate second layer 2 of the Effektpaneels simultaneously Position of an insulating glass 16. In the example according to FIG. 13, the effect panel itself is already known Insulating glass with honeycomb structure arranged between the glass plates 2 and 3, as described above in connection with FIG. In addition, here is the as Glass plate formed third layer 3 of the Effektpaneels on which the honeycomb structure is applied, formed as insulating glass 16.

Depending on the climatic conditions and building technical requirements may be at all previously described in connection with Figures 1 to 13 effect panels and combinations of such panels with windows the outside in the respective figure right and the building inside can be left or it can be the outside in the respective one Figure on the left and the inside of the building on the right. From the point of view of overheating protection is the attachment of the effect panel on the outside more effective. Of course, so is the Solar use slightly lower than in the arrangement on the inside of the room. The optical Effects are almost identical. From a building physics point of view is in the arrangement inside the room there is hardly any risk of condensation on the glass plates, so it does not matter whether the honeycomb structure fits snugly against a glass plate or both of its adjacent glass plates is distanced. When arranged in the outer area may be on a slight rear ventilation between the outer glass plate and the honeycomb structure can hardly be dispensed with Unless the space between the panes of glass is before the assembly of Effektpaneels very well dried and sealed to the outside, similar to insulating glass.

Hereinafter, embodiments of a facade cladding will be described, which constructed with effect panels according to the invention. Generally it should be noted that at Use of the panels according to the invention in a facade cladding facing the building Side usually does not have to be designed as a glass plate. Figure 14 shows a Embodiment of such, designed for mounting in a facade cladding Effektpaneels. The frame marked 18 here can be massive as in the drawings can be executed shown, but alternatively it can also be drawn, for example or extruded profiles are produced. As a material for the frame 18 come For example, wood, aluminum or plastic in question. As FIG. 14 shows, FIG in this embodiment, the surface arranged on the outside of the building Glass plate 2 (left in the figure) not overlapped by the frame 18. This can be like drawing indicated by an adhesive bond between the frame 18 and the glass plate. 2 be enabled. The plate forming the third layer is designated 19 in this example and can be made of virtually any material such as wood, plastic or metal, preferably Alloy exist. On the honeycomb structure 1 side facing away from the plate 19, an insulating layer 20 is arranged in this example.

Figures 15 and 16 show two embodiments of an effect panels of the foregoing described type containing facade cladding. In both examples, the Frame 18 of the Effect panels attached to posts 23, which in turn with a building or connected to a building wall (not shown). In the example of FIG between the frames 18 of two adjacent effect panels through fasteners, with which a facade profile 21, optionally with the interposition of a rubber elastic Part, is stretched against the glass plate 2. In the example of Figure 16, the joints between adjacent effect panels relatively narrow and filled with a sealant 22, such as this is indicated in the figure. Both in the embodiment of Figure 15 and in that of Figure 16 can with appropriately designed openings in the frame for ventilation the glass plates 2 are taken care of.

Furthermore, it is also possible in the description called effect, facade or roof coverings such that they have no honeycomb structure 1 and so possibly resulting application benefits can be realized. This can be on a Glass plate 2 applied a peripheral frame or a frame on the flat Extension of the glass plate can be applied by a fastening method. In this Frames can in turn be arranged openings for a possible ventilation be.

The object underlying the independent inventive solutions can the description be removed.

Above all, the individual embodiments shown in the figures can be the subject of form independent, inventive solutions. The relevant, inventive Tasks and solutions can be found in the detailed descriptions of these figures.

For the sake of order, it should be pointed out that for a better understanding of the Construction of the effect panel and the facade cladding these or their components partially not shown to scale and / or enlarged and / or reduced.
