Description

Field of the Invention

The present invention relates to a linear motion facade system which can be opened or closed with linear motion when desired in households or industrial locations, which is suitable for indoors and outdoors; and which can be installed with or without heat insulation.

Known State of the Art (Prior Art)

In the known state of the art, linear motion panel systems are usually provided without heat insulation and therefore cannot be used throughout the year especially where the temperature differences between seasons vary a lot.
Regarding the heat insulated systems, sufficient insulation cannot be provided since the joint geometry of the profiles used in the horizontal and vertical joints of the panels and the insulation material used in such joints are functionally insufficient. On the other hand, plastic covers are used at the ends of horizontal profiles; such covers and the joints of vertical profiles do not fit each other aesthetically.
Existing systems can only be manufactured linearly; fixed vertical joint profiles are used in the corners of systems with 90° and 270° angles. Therefore, such profiles are visible in the middle of a place when the system is open.
Existing systems do not allow the intersection panels to be cleaned as the sliding panels cannot move independently.
In the known art, the process of panels pulling one another is carried out via small plastic or metal pieces in the lower sections where the panel weight is concentrated and this causes the panel movement to be uncomfortable.
In the existing systems, not only the utilized wheels do not have sufficient strength for carrying the wide and heavy panels but also the motion comfort is reduced at the surface irregularities reflected on the rail due to said wheels not having a suspension system.
In the known art, the discharge of the water penetrating the system is only possible via the holes drilled into the bottom case.
Even though insulation can be provided vertically and horizontally to the panels in the existing systems, it is not possible to provide insulation in the horizontal and vertical convergence areas.
In the existing systems, panels cannot be moved comfortably due to dirt and dust accumulated in the bottom case.
In the known art, the utilized case profiles have a fixed number of rails as in 3-rail or 5-rail systems. As said situation only allows for a certain number of panels, it restricts the implementation of systems with all numbers and all widths.
In the existing systems, the drip cap and water discharge system to prevent water from penetrating the system is either not integrated or integrated only over the profiles with fixed rails. When it is desired to close larger openings, the drip cap and the water discharge integration is out of service.
In the known art, no insulation is provided in the threshold section of the systems which have linear motion and no thresholds.
WO 98/40596 , DE 197 53 219 and EP 2 481871 show examples of existing linear motion facade systems.
The present invention is developed in order to provide solutions to the problem which negatively affect the quality of said linear motion panel systems.

Object of the Invention:

The objectives of the linear motion facade system of the present invention are as follows;

Providing moving panel systems with and without heat insulation,
Providing a linear motion facade system which will be minimally affected by climate conditions,
Aesthetically conjoining horizontal and vertical panel profiles as a whole,
Providing flexible insulation by means of the use of weather strip at panel joints,
Providing a panel system which is conjoined without the use of fixed vertical joint profiles with maximum insulation at angles such as 90° or 270°,
Possibility to use embedded child safety lock mechanism set, armed espagnolette locking and hooked keylock system at the end panels and middle joint panels,
Increasing water isolation by means of water discharge ducts in horizontal panel profiles,
Providing comfortable movement of wide panels by means of maximizing the load capacity of the wheels,
Ensuring comfortable movement of the panels by absorbing the surface irregularities reflected on the rail by means of the suspension integrated with the wheel,
Adjusting the height of panels as desired, by means of the height adjustment mechanism integrated with the wheel,
Possibility to use special water discharge duct in the bottom case and drip cap in the top case for discharging the water in the system,
Possibility to use the plastics with brush ducts, for providing vertical and horizontal panel insulation, as single, double and triple setups at the sideways, middle and angled panel joints in order to provide full insulation at all dimensions,
Preventing the dust and dirt accumulated in the bottom case from disturbing the panel motion comfort,
Covering large areas by means of being able to build systems with 2-rails up to infinite rails, by adding single rails to the case profile as much as desired,
Providing water discharge by means of the addition of drip cap to the top case profile from the outside and to the bottom case profile from the inside, regardless of the number of rails in the system, by means of the specially designed single rail profile system,
Providing system panels which can operate by skipping one another in order to provide ease of assembly and cleaning for the panels which operate in integration with one another,
Providing insulation at the threshold in linear motion systems with no threshold

Brief Description of the Invention

The linear motion facade system developed with the present invention basically consists of a case profile, a horizontal panel profile, a vertical joint profile, a lateral closing profile and a wheel set. The system is based on the idea of collecting the panels at a desired point and of closing said panels whenever desired.
The panel locking system included in said facade system may be embedded child safety lock mechanism, armed espagnolette locking and hooked keylock system at the end panels and middle joint panels. Thus, a lock can be selected according to the desired safety level.
By means of the developed vertical joint profiles, the system can conjoin, open and close with maximum insulation at 90° and 270° angles. There are no vertical joint profiles in the corners when the system is opened.
Wheels with self height adjusting capabilities, self-suspension and increased bearing strength are used in the system. Thus, wide panels are moved with the desired comfort without any problems.
It is possible to use special water discharge duct in the bottom case and drip cap in the top case for discharging the water in the system. By means of said special water discharge and drip cap system, the water is prevented from entering the system from the outside and the sweating from inside.
It is possible to use the plastics with brush ducts as single, double and triple setups at the sideways, middle and angled panel joints for providing vertical and horizontal panel insulation. Thus, it becomes possible to provide insulation in all dimensions.
In order to avoid the dust and dirt accumulated in the bottom case from preventing comfortable panel motion, the dust and dirt are swept with the brushes placed at the beginning and end portions of the wheel to enable comfort of motion.
The number of panels to be placed can be increased by adding a desired number of single rails to the case profile and large areas can be covered. Thus a system with infinite rails can be obtained.
In the linear motion facade system developed with the present invention, the process of having panels pull one another is enabled through the height of the panel via vertical profiles. Thus, insulation continues at the intersection joints of the system in an uninterrupted manner.

The linear motion facade system of the present invention bears the panel load by means of the rail support (8), which has the bearing case rail (6) on which the bearing wheel sets (4) connected to the horizontal panel profile (2) move linearly, and the bearing case deflection preventing support (7). Side closing is screwed to the side closing profiles (35) through the case screw connection ducts (5). The single rail profile (78) which can be used as water discharge, drip cap and rail wherever necessary, is screwed to the bearing case profile (1) through the single rail connection centering bed (9). (Figure-3)
The wheel sets (4) which enable the panels to move, are connected to the horizontal panel profile wheel bed (16). 20 mm panels (89) are fixed to the panel bed by means of the silicon applied on the horizontal panel profile panel silicon bed (14). The strut profiles placed on top of the horizontal panel profile vertical strut tab (11) are fixed to the horizontal panel profile (2) with the screw placed to the horizontal panel profile strut screw connection duct (12). When it is desired to have the panels at 8mm or 10 mm instead of 20 mm, the required laths are placed on the horizontal panel profile 8mm - 10mm panel lath profile bed (15). Insulation between panel and rail is provided by the brushes installed on the horizontal panel profile brush bed (10) (Figure-4).
The wheel set comprises the wheel set outer body (18), the wheel set inner body (19) and wheel set rollers (20) connected to two wheel set roller shafts (21). The height adjustment of the wheels are performed via the wheel adjustment bolt (22) connected to the wheel set bolt anti-loosening bed (24) and the wheel adjustment nut (23) (Figure-5 and Figure-6).
Pulling profile (3) is screwed to the horizontal panel profile (2) through the pulling profile panel screw connection duct (33) without deflecting the line by means of the pulling profile panel screw head leveling nozzle (34). 20 mm panels (89) are fastened to the pulling profile panel bed (28) by means of the silicon applied on the pulling profile panel silicon bed (27) and the pulling profile panel holding tabs (25). The movement of the panels by pulling one another is performed by the engagement of pulling profile pulling tabs (31) with one another. The water, air and sound insulation between profiles are provided by the brushes installed on the pulling profile double ducted brush bed (29) and the pulling profile single ducted brush bed (30). Insulation between the rail and pulling profile is provided by the brushes installed n the pulling profile plastic rail hair bed. 8 mm or 10 mm panels can be used in the system by means of the lath profiles installed on the pulling profile 8mm - 10mm panel lath profile bed (26). (Figure-7)
In the system, according to the desired safety level, a panel lock set (84) or a hooked keylock set (85) can be used by connecting to the lock strut profile (37). On the lock strut profile, there are the lock profile screw duct (46) which allow said profile to connect to the horizontal panel profile (2) via screws, the lock profile panel bed (49) onto which the panels are fixed, the lock profile panel holding tab (48) which holds the panels and the lock profile lock bed (45) where the locks are installed. The lock strut profile 8mm-10mm panel lath bed (47) is present for the panel 8mm-10mm panel to be installed if necessary (Figure-8).
The lock sets connected to the lock strut profile (37) are locked over the side closing lock counter-piece profile (36). The side closing lock counter-piece profile (36) is easily fastened on the rails via the rail engagement tab (41) and the lock counter-piece profile rail centering (42). Insulation at the locking area is provided by the lock counter-piece profile brush bed (43). The bolts of the locks slide into the lock counter-piece profile lock bolt bed (44) and thus locking is achieved (Figure-8).
The side closing profiles (35) are used at the wall ends of the system. The side closing lock counter-piece profile (36) is connected at the level of the side closing screw support protrusion (38). The load on the side walls are prevented via the side closing deflection preventing support (39). (Figure-8).
In cases where the system connects in the middle, the panels are positioned face to face.

The system conjoins at cornered spaces with angles such as 90° and 270° without any fixed strut. This conjoining process takes places by means of the 90°, 270° joint lock counter-piece profile (55) which corresponds to the lock strut profile (37) and which has the 90°, 270° joint lock counter-piece profile brush bed (56), the 90°, 270° joint lock counter-piece profile bolt bed (57), the 90°, 270° joint lock counter-piece profile(55) panel joint screw duct (58) where the horizontal panel profile (2) is connected, the 90°, 270° joint lock counter-piece profile panel holding tab (60) holding the panels, the 90°, 270° joint lock counter-piece profile 8mm - 10mm panel lath tab (59) for installing 8mm - 10mm panels when necessary (Figure-10).
It is also possible to use espagnolette locks in the system if desired. The espagnolette lock is used together with the espagnolette lock profile (61) which has an espagnolette lock profile shaft bed (62) and an espagnolette lock bed (63). It is used to provide safety at the joints of the face-to-face panels of the side closing lock counter-piece profile (36) (Figure-11) at the side walls, at the 90°, 270° angled joints of the intersection joint lock counter-piece profile (50) (Figure-12) and across the 90°, 270° joint lock counter-piece profile (55) (Figure-13).
According to the linear motion facade system of the present invention, panels with thicknesses of 8 mm or 10 mm can also be used. When it is desired to use 8 mm panels, the 8mm panel lath profile (64) is installed on the horizontal panel profile (2) via the 8mm panel lath tab (66). Panels are fastened to the 8mm panel bed (70) by means of the silicon applied on the 8 mm panel lath profile silicon bed (68). When it is desired to use 10 mm panels, the 10mm panel lath profile (65) is installed on the horizontal panel profile (2) via the 10mm panel lath tab (67). Panels are fastened to the 10 mm panel bed (71) by means of the silicon applied on the 10mm panel lath profile silicon bed (69) (Figure-14).
According to the linear motion facade system of the present invention, it is intended to achieve a thin profile view when viewed from across at the face-to-face intersection joint. The intersection joint thin profile (72) has the intersection joint thin profile brush duct (73), the intersection joint thin profile panel holding tab (74) for holding the 20 mm panel (89), the intersection joint thin profile panel bed (75) where the panels are installed, the intersection joint lock bed (92) where the intersection joint thin profile lock set (93) is installed, the intersection joint thin profile 8mm - 10mm panel lath tab (76) to install the 8mm - 10mm panel when necessary and the intersection joint thin profile panel joint screw duct (77) where the horizontal panel profile (2) is connected (Figure-15).
According to the system of the present invention, the number of rails can be increased or decreased as desired (Figure-16). The designed single rail profile (78) operates as the top case profile drip cap (82) when added to the system from the outside and on the top, and as the bottom case profile water discharge (81) when added to the system from the inside and on the bottom. It is fastened to the case profile (1) with a screw placed through the single rail profile centering screw duct (79). This screw is hidden by means of the single rail cover profile (80) (Figure-17).
The linear motion facade system of the present invention can also have a case profile with no -threshold (83) and with lowered height. The system becomes suitable for use with no threshold when the case profile with no threshold (83) is used instead of the case profile (1) at the bottom of the system (Figure-18).
In the system of the present invention, the embedded child safety lock mechanism set (84) (Figure-19.a) and the hooked keylock set (85) (Figure-19.b) are installed on the lock strut profile (37). The espagnolette lock set (86) (Figure-19.c), the window latch lock set (90) (Figure-19.d) and the window latch keylock set (91) (Figure-19.e) are installed on the espagnolette lock profile (61).
