Description

Domaine technique de l'inventionTechnical field of the invention

L'invention concerne le domaine de la construction avec des panneaux en verre assemblés entre eux pour réaliser des façades ou des parois vitrées de bâtiments. Ces panneaux en verre trempé peuvent avoir des formes diverses, notamment quadrangulaires ou triangulaires, et sont percés d'orifices coopérant avec des éléments d'attache les reliant mécaniquement à une structure porteuse faisant partie de l'ossature de la construction.The invention relates to the field of construction with glass panels assembled together to make facades or glazed walls of buildings. These tempered glass panels may have various shapes, including quadrangular or triangular, and are pierced with orifices cooperating with fasteners mechanically connecting them to a bearing structure forming part of the frame of the construction.

Etat de la techniqueState of the art

Les dispositifs de fixation de ces panneaux de verre ou vitrages doivent être agencés pour répondre aux différents types de points de fixation spécifiés selon les règles du VEA (Vitrage Extérieur Attaché) du cahier 3574 de la CSTB. Les panneaux en verre trempé peuvent être soit monolithiques de 6 à 15 mm d'épaisseur, soit feuilletés avec des intercalaires PVB et un composant intérieur et extérieur de 6 à 15 mm d'épaisseur. Les éléments d'attache comportent de une à quatre branches de retenue ayant à leurs extrémités des trous cylindriques ou oblongs pour le passage de tiges traversant les orifices des panneaux de verre, et un percement central destiné au passage d'un goujon ou d'une vis pour la fixation de l'élément d'attache sur l'ossature.Fixing devices for these glass panels or glazings must be arranged to meet the different types of fixing points specified according to the rules of the VEA (Attached Exterior Glass) of the CSTB notebook 3574. Tempered glass panels can be either monolithic 6 to 15 mm thick or laminated with PVB spacers and an inner and outer component 6 to 15 mm thick. The fastening elements comprise from one to four retaining branches having at their ends cylindrical or oblong holes for the passage of rods through the orifices of the glass panels, and a central bore for the passage of a stud or a screw for fixing the fastening element on the frame.

Les jeux fonctionnels prévus aux niveaux des éléments d'attache et des fixations ponctuelles doivent permettre des déplacements relatifs des panneaux de verre par rapport à leurs points de fixation sans engendrer des contraintes mécaniques dans le verre. Ces contraintes peuvent en effet survenir en cas de réaction du vent ou d'accumulation de neige sur la surface des panneaux, et également par suite de dilatations thermiques différentielles de l'ossature ou des vitrages; et à des mouvements différentiels des éléments d'attache.The functional clearances provided at the level of the fastening elements and the point fasteners must allow relative movements of the glass panels relative to their attachment points without causing mechanical stresses in the glass. These constraints can indeed occur in case of wind reaction or snow accumulation on the surface of the panels, and also as a result of differential thermal expansion of the frame or glazing; and differential movements of the fastening elements.

Les vitrages sont soit supportés, soit suspendus. Chaque vitrage est généralement maintenu par deux points porteurs pour la reprise du poids, en autorisant un jeu de dilatation. Dans le cas d'un verre suspendu quadrangulaire, on prévoit à la partie supérieure un point fixe et un point dilatant. A la partie inférieure, les deux autres points de fixation sont libres et permettent un jeu dans toutes les directions dans le plan du verre.
Dans le cas d'un verre supporté, les points fixe et dilatant se trouvent en partie basse du verre, et les points de fixation libres en partie supérieure.Glazing is either supported or suspended. Each glazing is generally maintained by two bearing points for the recovery of weight, allowing a set of expansion. In the case of a quadrangular suspended glass, the upper part is provided with a fixed point and a dilating point. At the bottom, the other two attachment points are free and allow play in all directions in the plane of the glass.
In the case of a supported glass, the fixed and dilatant points are in the lower part of the glass, and the free fixing points in the upper part.

Les documents DE 199 38 571 , DE 197 03 298 et DE 100 18 929 montrent ces différents points de fixation pour les panneaux de verre.The documents DE 199 38 571 , DE 197 03 298 and DE 100 18 929 show these different points of attachment for the glass panels.

Toute autre forme de verre peut être utilisée. Un verre peut avoir plus de quatre points de fixation. Dans ce cas, on prévoit un point fixe, un point dilatant, et le reste en points libres.Any other form of glass can be used. A glass may have more than four attachment points. In this case, a fixed point, a dilating point, and the rest in free points are provided.

La ou les branches des éléments d'attache comportent selon le type de tige utilisée :

  • soit un trou cylindrique ayant un diamètre de 17mm pour constituer le point fixe,
  • soit un trou oblong horizontal de diamètre 17mm et de longueur 24 mm pour former le point dilatant en translation,
  • soit deux trous cylindriques de diamètres 24mm pour les points libres.
The branch or branches of the fastening elements comprise, depending on the type of rod used:
  • a cylindrical hole with a diameter of 17mm to constitute the fixed point,
  • a horizontal oblong hole with a diameter of 17 mm and a length of 24 mm to form the dilating point in translation,
  • either two cylindrical holes 24mm in diameter for the free points.

Pour se prémunir des risques de déplacement des éléments d'attache sous le poids des vitrages lors de la mise en oeuvre ou en cas de rupture accidentelle d'un vitrage, on a déjà proposé de les immobiliser en rotation par des moyens mécaniques spécifiques, par exemple en utilisant des boulons à haute résistance à serrage contrôlé, des goupilles, ou clavettes. L'usage de tels moyens de blocage complique le système de fixation des panneaux en verre sur l'ossature.To guard against the risk of displacement of the fastening elements under the weight of the glazing during the implementation or in case of accidental breakage of a glazing unit, it has already been proposed to immobilize them in rotation by specific mechanical means, by example using high tensile bolts with controlled tightening, pins, or keys. The use of such locking means complicates the system for fixing the glass panels on the framework.

En cas d'utilisation des éléments d'attache précités, un dispositif d'ajustage supplémentaires est nécessaire pour positionner avec précision l'élément d'attache par rapport à la structure support.
En cas d'utilisation de simples vis à la place des éléments d'attache précités, il est indispensable de reproduire les différents trous de fixation dans la structure support afin d'autoriser les mouvements de dilatation. Le système de réglage doit ainsi être intégré dans la structure support, ce qui en complique la fabrication.In case of use of the aforementioned fastening elements, an additional adjusting device is necessary to accurately position the fastening element with respect to the support structure.
If single screws are used instead of the above-mentioned fastening elements, it is essential to reproduce the different fixing holes in the support structure in order to allow the expansion movements. The adjustment system must be integrated into the support structure, which complicates the manufacture.

Dans ces différents cas de montage, le verre est muni d'une manière connue de plusieurs orifices circulaires pour le passage des moyens de fixation.In these different cases of mounting, the glass is provided in a known manner with a plurality of circular orifices for the passage of the fastening means.

Objet de l'inventionObject of the invention

Le but de l'invention consiste à remédier aux inconvénients précités, en améliorer le système de fixation et le montage des vitrages, et à simplifier la fabrication de la structure porteuse.The object of the invention is to overcome the aforementioned drawbacks, to improve the fastening system and the mounting of glazing, and to simplify the manufacture of the carrier structure.

Le dispositif de fixation d'un panneau en verre à une structure porteuse fixe par l'intermédiaire d'un élément d'attache traversant au moins un orifice percé dans le panneau, l'ensemble étant agencé pour définir des jeux fonctionnels autorisant des réglages relatifs du panneau par rapport à leurs points de fixation comprenant au moins un point dilatant autorisant un mouvement en translation, et un point libre multidirectionnels, caractérisé en ce que l'orifice du panneau est conformé pour assurer le blocage en rotation d'un insert de positionnement logé dans ledit orifice,et possédant un trou interne apte à reproduire l'un desdits points de fixation.The device for fixing a glass panel to a fixed support structure via a fastening element passing through at least one hole pierced in the panel, the assembly being arranged to define functional clearances allowing relative adjustments of the panel with respect to their fixing points comprising at least one dilatant point allowing a translational movement, and a multidirectional free point, characterized in that the orifice of the panel is shaped to ensure the locking in rotation of a positioning insert housed in said orifice, and having an internal hole adapted to reproduce one of said attachment points.

Le panneau en verre comporte des orifices de découpes identiques, par exemple quatre dans le cas d'un panneau en verre carré ou rectangulaire, pour le logement des inserts de positionnement reproduisant les différents points de fixation. Toute autre forme de panneau en verre est possible, il suffit de prévoir le nombre d'orifices.The glass panel has identical cutout orifices, for example four in the case of a square or rectangular glass panel, for the housing of the positioning inserts reproducing the different attachment points. Any other form of glass panel is possible, just predict the number of orifices.

Les découpes des orifices du vitrage peuvent avoir toutes formes à condition d'assurer un effet anti-rotation des inserts de positionnement lors du serrage.The cutouts of the orifices of the glazing can have any shape provided to ensure an anti-rotation effect of the positioning inserts during tightening.

Le système de réglage est ainsi inclus dans les orifices du verre, ce qui permet de simplifier la fabrication de la structure porteuse, et le montage, car un seul trou taraudé est suffisant dans la structure pour permettre le bon fonctionnement du système.The adjustment system is thus included in the orifices of the glass, which simplifies the manufacture of the support structure, and the mounting, because a single threaded hole is sufficient in the structure to allow the proper operation of the system.

Deux types de pose du verre sont possibles selon l'invention en fonction d'un agencement intérieur, ou d'un agencement extérieur VEA (verre extérieur attaché) :

  • Pour une pose du verre dans un agencement intérieur, les différents points de fixation servent essentiellement au réglage lors de la mise en place des panneaux en verre . Pour un panneau quadrangulaire, on peut prévoir deux points dilatant en translation, et deux autres points libres. Le blocage s'effectue après réglage au moyen d'une vis.
  • Pour une pose du verre dans un agencement extérieur VEA, les différents points de fixation permettent une reprise des dispersions de positionnement au montage, et une liberté de mouvement du panneau en verre soumis à des déplacements différentiels de l'ossature et à la dilation de l'ensemble. Le verre est ainsi insensible aux contraintes mécaniques engendrées par ces perturbations . Pour un panneau quadrangulaire, on peut prévoir un point de fixation fixe, un point dilatant en translation, et deux autres points libres.
Two types of glass laying are possible according to the invention as a function of an internal arrangement, or of an external arrangement VEA (outer glass attached):
  • For placement of the glass in an interior arrangement, the various fixing points are essentially used for adjustment during the placement of the glass panels. For a quadrangular panel, one can provide two points dilating in translation, and two other free points. Locking is carried out after adjustment by means of a screw.
  • For placing the glass in an external arrangement VEA, the various fixing points allow a recovery of the positioning dispersions during assembly, and a freedom of movement of the glass panel subjected to differential displacements of the framework and the expansion of the structure. 'together. The glass is thus insensitive to the mechanical stresses generated by these disturbances. For a quadrangular panel, one can provide a fixed attachment point, a dilatant point in translation, and two other free points.

Selon une caractéristique de l'invention, l'insert de positionnement possède une épaisseur inférieure à celle du panneau en verre. L'insert coopère avantageusement avec une entretoise tubulaire entourant une douille de l'élément d'attache pour laisser la liberté de mouvement nécessaire au panneau de verre. L'entretoise est soit légèrement plus longue que l'épaisseur du verre dans le cas d'un VEA, soit plus courte ou absente dans le cas d'un agencement intérieur.According to one characteristic of the invention, the positioning insert has a thickness less than that of the glass panel. The insert cooperates advantageously with a tubular spacer surrounding a socket of the fastener element to allow the necessary freedom of movement to the glass panel. The spacer is either slightly longer than the thickness of the glass in the case of a VEA, is shorter or absent in the case of an interior arrangement.

Selon une autre caractéristique de l'invention, l'insert de positionnement pour points dilatants, comporte un trou interne oblong, et des moyens d'orientation angulaire dudit insert dans l'orifice.According to another characteristic of the invention, the positioning insert for dilating points comprises an oblong internal hole, and angular orientation means of said insert in the orifice.

L'invention peut s'appliquer à un panneau de verre monolithique ou feuilleté. Les inserts de positionnement sont réalisés en matière plastique ou métallique, notamment en aluminium.The invention can be applied to a monolithic or laminated glass panel. The positioning inserts are made of plastic or metal, in particular aluminum.

Description d'un mode particulier de réalisationDescription of a particular embodiment

En référence aux figures 1 à 6 relatif à un agencement pour l'extérieur VEA, un dispositif de fixation 10 d'un panneau en verre 11 à une structure 12 de support fixe, comporte un élément d'attache 13 et un système anti-rotation réalisé dans le verre. La structure 12 porteuse fait partie de l'ossature de la construction, et est constituée à titre d'exemple par un ensemble de montants et traverses métalliques.With reference to Figures 1 to 6 relating to an arrangement for outdoor use VEA, a device 10 for attaching a glass panel 11 to a fixed support structure 12, comprises a fastening element 13 and an anti-rotation system made in the glass. The carrier structure 12 is part of the frame of the construction, and is constituted as an example by a set of uprights and metal sleepers.

Le panneau en verre 11 est un vitrage trempé pouvant être du type monolithique (figures 5 et 6) ou feuilleté (figures 1, 3 et 4). Un orifice 14 est percé et chanfreiné à chaque angle du panneau en verre 11 quadrangulaire, et présente une découpe de forme spécifique constituant le système anti-rotation.The glass panel 11 is a toughened glazing that can be of the monolithic type ( Figures 5 and 6 ) or laminated ( figures 1 , 3 and 4 ). An orifice 14 is drilled and chamfered at each angle of the quadrangular glass panel 11, and has a cutout of specific shape constituting the anti-rotation system.

Sur le verre monolithique des figures 5 et 6, la découpe de l'orifice 14 est circulaire de diamètre D1 sur la plus grande partie de la périphérie, mais est dotée d'un arc rentrant sur la partie restante en constituant un bossage 15. C'est la présence de ce bossage 15 qui constitue le système anti-rotation réalisé dans l'orifice 14 du verre.On the monolithic glass of Figures 5 and 6 , the cutout of the orifice 14 is circular of diameter D1 over most of the periphery, but has an arc returning to the remaining part by constituting a boss 15. It is the presence of this boss 15 which is the anti-rotation system made in the orifice 14 of the glass.

Dans le cas du verre feuilleté des figures 3 et 4, un intercalaire 30 en matériau plastique transparent est logé et collé entre deux couches de verre du panneau 11. L'orifice 14 avec bossage 15 est présent dans l'une des couches, tandis que l'autre couche de verre présente un trou circulaire 16 sur toute sa périphérie, avec un diamètre D2 supérieur à celui D1 de l'orifice 14. Le système anti-rotation est ainsi réalisé dans l'orifice 14 de diamètre D1 de l'une des couches de verre.In the case of laminated glass Figures 3 and 4 , a spacer 30 of transparent plastic material is housed and glued between two glass layers of the panel 11. The orifice 14 with boss 15 is present in one of the layers, while the other glass layer has a circular hole 16 over its entire periphery, with a diameter D2 greater than that D1 of the orifice 14. The anti-rotation system is thus produced in the orifice 14 of diameter D1 of one layers of glass.

La forme spécifique de l'orifice 14 dans le verre est apte à assurer le blocage en rotation d'un insert de positionnement 17 (figures 1 et 2), lequel est logé dans l'orifice 14 et conçu pour répondre aux différents points de fixation d'un panneau en verre selon les règles du VEA définies dans le cahier 3574 du CSBT. L'insert de positionnement 17 est réalisé par exemple en aluminium ou en plastique, et présente une épaisseur légèrement inférieure à celle du panneau en verre 11. Il coopère avec une entretoise 18 tubulaire entourant une douille 13a de l'élément d'attache 13 pour laisser la liberté nécessaire au panneau en verre 11, et répondre aux contraintes de jeux fonctionnels (mouvements de la structure 12), et de montage (tolérances de positionnement). Pour un montage VEA, l'entretoise est légèrement plus longue que l'épaisseur du verre.The specific shape of the orifice 14 in the glass is able to ensure the locking in rotation of a positioning insert 17 ( Figures 1 and 2 ), which is housed in the orifice 14 and designed to respond to the different points of attachment of a glass panel according to the rules of the VEA defined in the 3574 of the CSBT. The positioning insert 17 is made for example of aluminum or plastic, and has a thickness slightly less than that of the glass panel 11. It cooperates with a tubular spacer 18 surrounding a sleeve 13a of the fastening element 13 for leave the necessary freedom to the glass panel 11, and meet the constraints of functional play (movements of the structure 12), and mounting (positioning tolerances). For VEA mounting, the spacer is slightly longer than the thickness of the glass.

Dans un panneau 11 de verre rectangulaire, les quatre orifices 14 percés dans les coins ont tous des découpes identiques. Ce sont les inserts de positionnement 17 qui permettent de reproduire dans les orifices 14, les différents points de fixation conformes au VEA (point fixe, libre, et dilatant.In a rectangular glass panel 11, the four orifices 14 pierced in the corners all have identical cutouts. It is the positioning inserts 17 which make it possible to reproduce in the orifices 14, the different points of attachment in accordance with the VEA (fixed, free, and dilatant point.

Il est clair que les panneaux 11 de verre peuvent avoir des formes différentes, et posséder un nombre différent d'orifices de réception des inserts.It is clear that the glass panels 11 may have different shapes, and have a different number of inserts receiving holes.

Les figures 7, 8A à 8D et 9 montrent une gamme d'inserts de positionnement 17A, 17B et 17C aptes à réaliser les divers points de fixation :The Figures 7, 8A to 8D and 9 show a range of positioning inserts 17A, 17B and 17C able to achieve the various attachment points:

La figure 7 montre un insert 17A pour constituer un point de fixation fixe. Le profil extérieur de cet insert 17A correspond à la découpe circulaire de l'orifice 14, et présente une encoche 19 de forme conjuguée à celle du bossage 15 pour assurer le blocage en rotation. Le trou interne 20A est circulaire avec un diamètre légèrement inférieur au jeu près à celui de l'entretoise 18.The figure 7 shows an insert 17A to form a fixed attachment point. The outer profile of this insert 17A corresponds to the circular cutout of the orifice 14, and has a notch 19 of shape conjugate to that of the boss 15 to ensure the locking in rotation. The inner hole 20A is circular with a diameter slightly smaller than the clearance close to that of the spacer 18.

Les inserts 17B des figures 8A à 8D pour points dilatants ont les mêmes trous internes 20B oblongs pour assurer un réglage en translation. Le profil extérieur est doté d'une ou de plusieurs encoches 19 destinées à assurer une orientation angulaire prédéterminée de l'insert dans l'orifice 14. L'insert 17B de la figure 8A n'est pas orientable, car il possède qu'une seule encoche 19. Les autres inserts des figures 8B, 8C et 8D sont munis de plusieurs encoches 19 réparties angulairement autour de la périphérie pour autoriser des orientations respectives de 90°, 30° et 60°. D'autres formes d'inserts de positionnement 17 sont possibles pour répondre à des angles d'orientation différents.The inserts 17B of the Figures 8A to 8D for dilating points have the same oblong internal holes 20B to ensure a translation adjustment. The outer profile is provided with one or more notches 19 for providing a predetermined angular orientation of the insert in the orifice 14. The insert 17B of the figure 8A is not orientable because it has only one notch 19. The other inserts of the Figures 8B, 8C and 8D are provided with several notches 19 distributed angularly around the periphery to allow respective orientations of 90 °, 30 ° and 60 °. Other forms of positioning inserts 17 are possible to respond to different orientation angles.

L'insert 17C pour point libre de la figure 9, possède le même profil extérieur circulaire que celui de l'insert 17A de la figure 7, mais le trou interne 20C a un diamètre supérieur, de manière à autoriser un mouvement dans toutes les directions.The insert 17C for free point of the figure 9 , has the same circular outer profile as that of the insert 17A of the figure 7 , but the inner hole 20C has a larger diameter, so as to allow movement in all directions.

A titre d'exemple, les figures 10a et 10b montrent le montage de l'insert 17B de la figure 8B dans l'orifice 14 du panneau en verre 11 pour assurer un point dilatant avec orientation du trou oblong à 90°. Dans la position de la figure 10a, le trou oblong de l'insert 17B est orienté pour assurer un point dilatant horizontal. Dans le cas de la figure 10b, l'orientation du trou oblong est incliné d'un angle de 90° par rapport à celui de la figure 10a. On obtient ainsi un point dilatant vertical.For example, Figures 10a and 10b show the fitting of the insert 17B of the Figure 8B in the orifice 14 of the glass panel 11 to ensure a dilating point with orientation of the oblong hole at 90 °. In the position of the figure 10a , the oblong hole of the insert 17B is oriented to ensure a horizontal dilatant point. In the case of figure 10b , the orientation of the oblong hole is inclined at an angle of 90 ° to that of the figure 10a . A vertical dilatation point is thus obtained.

Les figures 11a et 11b illustrent un autre insert 17 à trois encoches 19 logé dans l'orifice 14 pour définir un point dilatant avec orientation possible du trou oblong à 120° ou 30°.The Figures 11a and 11b illustrate another insert 17 with three notches 19 housed in the orifice 14 to define a dilatant point with possible orientation of the oblong hole at 120 ° or 30 °.

La figure 12 représente à titre d'exemple, un panneau en verre 11 pour un montage extérieur VEA. Le verre a une forme rectangulaire ou carrée, et est muni à chacun des quatre coins du même orifice 14 que celui des figures 3 ou 5. Dans l'orifice 14 situé en haut à gauche, on loge l'insert 17A de la figure 7 pour constituer le point fixe. Dans l'orifice 14 situé en haut à droite, on introduit l'insert 17B de la figure 8A, ou tout autre insert 17B à trou oblong orientable, pour définir le point dilatant en translation selon une direction spécifique. L'insert 17C est positionné dans les deux orifices 14 du bas pour assurer une paire de points libres.The figure 12 represents by way of example, a glass panel 11 for external mounting VEA. The glass has a rectangular or square shape, and is provided at each of the four corners of the same orifice 14 as that of the figures 3 or 5 . In the orifice 14 located at the top left, the insert 17A of the figure 7 to constitute the fixed point. In the orifice 14 located at the top right, the insert 17B of the figure 8A , or any other insert 17B orientable oblong hole, to define the dilatant point in translation in a specific direction. The insert 17C is positioned in the two orifices 14 of the bottom to ensure a pair of free points.

La figure 13 montre l'assemblage de plusieurs panneaux en verre 11 de la figure 12 sur la structure porteuse 12, laquelle est constituée de montants métalliques fixés à l'ossature du bâtiment. La fixation s'effectue au moyen d'une vis 22 ou goujon traversant l'insert de positionnement et de réglage inclus dans le verre de chaque orifice 14. Un simple trou taraudé 23 suffit dans la structure 12 pour le vissage de la vis 22. Les opérations de fixation, de fabrication de la structure 12, et de montage des panneaux en verre sont ainsi simplifiées.The figure 13 shows the assembly of several glass panels 11 of the figure 12 on the supporting structure 12, which consists of metal uprights attached to the building frame. Fixing is effected by means of a screw 22 or stud passing through the positioning and adjustment insert included in the glass of each orifice 14. A simple threaded hole 23 suffices in the structure 12 for screwing the screw 22. Fixing operations, manufacture of the structure 12, and mounting of the glass panels are thus simplified.

La figure 14 concerne un panneau en verre 11 pour un montage d'agencement intérieur. Le verre présente par exemple une forme rectangulaire ou carrée, et est muni à chacun des quatre coins du même orifice 14 que celui des figures 3 ou 5. Dans chacun des deux orifices 14 du haut, on introduit l'insert 17B à trou oblong pour définir deux points dilatant en translation. L'insert 17C est positionné dans les deux orifices 14 du bas pour assurer une paire de points libres.The figure 14 relates to a glass panel 11 for an interior fitting assembly. The glass has for example a rectangular or square shape, and is provided at each of the four corners of the same hole 14 as that of figures 3 or 5 . In each of the two orifices 14 at the top, the slot-shaped insert 17B is introduced to define two points which expand in translation. The insert 17C is positioned in the two orifices 14 of the bottom to ensure a pair of free points.

Sur la figure 15, le panneau en verre 11 est fixé à la structure 12 au moyen d'une vis 22. Après réglage en position dans l'insert 17B ou 17C correspondant, le blocage s'effectue par serrage de la vis 22, laquelle est vissée directement dans le trou taraudé 23 de la structure 12.On the figure 15 , the glass panel 11 is fixed to the structure 12 by means of a screw 22. After adjustment in position in the corresponding insert 17B or 17C, the blocking is effected by tightening the screw 22, which is screwed directly into the threaded hole 23 of the structure 12.

Dans le cas d'un panneau en verre de forme triangulaire, on utilise pour un agencement intérieur, deux points de fixation dilatants et un point de fixation libre.In the case of a triangular shaped glass panel, two dilating fixing points and a free fixing point are used for an interior arrangement.

Les découpes des orifices 14 du vitrage 11 peuvent avoir des formes différentes de celles des figures 3 et 5, à condition d'assurer un effet anti-rotation des inserts de positionnement 17.The cutouts of the orifices 14 of the glazing 11 may have different shapes from those of the figures 3 and 5 , provided to provide an anti-rotation effect of the positioning inserts 17.

Dans un verre monolithique selon les figures 16 et 17, la découpe de l'orifice 14 est circulaire de diamètre D1 sur la plus grande partie de la périphérie, mais est dotée d'un évidement 31 extérieur sur la partie restante.In a monolithic glass according to Figures 16 and 17 , the cutout of the orifice 14 is circular of diameter D1 over most of the periphery, but is provided with an outer recess 31 on the remaining part.

Dans un verre feuilleté selon les figures 18 et 19, l'orifice 14 avec l'évidement 31 extérieur est présent dans l'une des couches du verre feuilleté, tandis que l'autre couche de verre présente un trou circulaire 16 sur toute sa périphérie, avec un diamètre D2 supérieur à celui D1 de l'orifice 14. Le système anti-rotation est ainsi réalisé dans l'orifice 14 par l'évidement 31.In a laminated glass according to the Figures 18 and 19 , the orifice 14 with the outer recess 31 is present in one of the layers of the laminated glass, while the other layer of glass has a circular hole 16 over its entire periphery, with a diameter D2 greater than that D1 of the orifice 14. The anti-rotation system is thus formed in the orifice 14 by the recess 31.

Les figures 20 et 21 montrent un verre monolithique avec une découpe similaire à celle des figures 16 et 17, mais avec une portion circulaire de diamètre D3 avec l'évidement 31, et une portion fraisée tronconique de diamètre D1.The Figures 20 and 21 show a monolithic glass with a cutout similar to that of Figures 16 and 17 but with a circular portion of diameter D3 with the recess 31, and a frustoconical milled portion of diameter D1.

Les figures 22 et 23 illustrent un verre feuilleté avec une découpe similaire à celle de la figure 21 dans l'une des couches, tandis que l'autre couche de verre présente un trou circulaire 16 sur toute sa périphérie.The Figures 22 and 23 illustrate a laminated glass with a cutout similar to that of the figure 21 in one of the layers, while the other glass layer has a circular hole 16 over its entire periphery.

Les figures 24 et 25 représentent l'insert de positionnement 170 destiné à être introduit dans l'orifice 14 du verre des figures 20 à 23. Cet insert 170 est composé d'une partie cylindrique 32, coiffée par une partie tronconique qui s'adapte dans la découpe de l'orifice 14. Une goupille 21 est destinée à s'engager dans l'évidement 31 du verre pour constituer le système anti-rotation empêchant l'insert 170 de tourner lors du serrage.The Figures 24 and 25 represent the positioning insert 170 intended to be introduced into the orifice 14 of the glass of the Figures 20 to 23 . This insert 170 is composed of a cylindrical portion 32, capped by a frustoconical portion which fits into the cutout of the orifice 14. A pin 21 is intended to engage in the recess 31 of the glass to form the system anti-rotation preventing the insert 170 to rotate during tightening.

Les figures 26 à 28 montrent différentes utilisations de l'insert 170 des figures 24 et 25 :

  • La figure 26 représente un insert 170 affleurant dans l'orifice du verre feuilleté de la figure 23. L'insert 170 est et plus court que l'épaisseur du verre 11. La figure 27 montre un insert 170 également affleurant, mais plus long que celui de la figure 26, avec un écrou 33 de blocage.
  • La figure 28 illustre un insert 170 plus court et noyé dans l'épaisseur du verre.
The Figures 26 to 28 show different uses of the insert 170 of Figures 24 and 25 :
  • The figure 26 represents an insert 170 flush in the orifice of the laminated glass of the figure 23 . The insert 170 is shorter than the thickness of the glass 11. The figure 27 shows an insert 170 also flush, but longer than that of the figure 26 with a locking nut 33.
  • The figure 28 illustrates a shorter insert 170 embedded in the thickness of the glass.

Dans les trois exemples de montage des figures 26 à 28, il n'y a pas de possibilités de réglage, et la goupille 21 bloque l'insert 170 en rotation.In the three mounting examples of Figures 26 to 28 there is no adjustment possibilities, and the pin 21 blocks the insert 170 in rotation.

Les figures 29 et 30 montrent une possibilité de réglage avec un insert 170 à trou oblong 20B comme dans la figure 8A. La goupille 21 assure toujours le blocage en rotation lors du serrage de la vis 22.The Figures 29 and 30 show a possibility of adjustment with an insert 170 with oblong hole 20B as in the figure 8A . The pin 21 always ensures the locking in rotation when tightening the screw 22.
