Definitions

  • the object of the present invention is an apparatus for adjusting the inclination of panellings intended to be installed on a building element so as to define technical structures for the protection and/or delimitation and/or furnishing, such as, by way of an example, parapets, railings, balustrades, fences, partition walls, glass windows, cantilever roofs and the like.
  • the object of the present invention is a system for connecting panels, in particular glazed, of any thickness, comprising means for the quick adjustment of their inclination relative to a building component.
  • the invention therefore falls within the building field, particularly in the sector of transparent architecture.
  • Set-up defects are in fact very visible on an array of consecutive panellings, especially if having a glossy and/or reflecting surface.
  • document WO 2016/193806 discloses a known U-profile for connecting one or more panellings to a building element and its adjusting means of the inclination of said panellings, according to the preamble of claim 1. Further and alternative known profiles for connecting said panellings to a building element and the relative adjusting means of their set-up are shown in the prior art documents EP 2 921 606 and/or EP 3 179 007 .
  • the object of the present invention is to eliminate the drawbacks of the prior art listed above, by designing an innovative apparatus for connecting panellings, preferably glass windows, to a building component and defining technical structures for the protection and/or delimitation and/or furnishing, such as, by way of a non-limiting example, parapets, railings, balustrades, fences, partition walls, glass windows and similar elements, optionally even not vertical.
  • the object of the present invention is to provide a profile capable of retaining panellings of any thickness in use in the building industry and of compensating for any defects of the lying plane of the installation surface of said profile.
  • the object of the present invention is to provide a profile comprising adjusting means of the inclination and set-up of the panellings of easy accessibility and manoeuvrability from the outside of the same profile.
  • a further object of the present invention is to provide a profile adapted to retain panellings of any thickness easily and conveniently installable by an installer operating in totally safe conditions.
  • any dimensional and spatial term refers, unless otherwise indicated, to the position according to which the object of the invention is shown in the drawings which not necessarily coincides with the position of the invention in operating conditions.
  • reference numeral 1 indicates, as a whole, a profile for connecting one or more panellings 2 to a building element E (which, in general, may consist of a usable floor or a wall in whole or in part in masonry work or metalwork or other).
  • the building element E may consist of a balcony E and the profile 1 serves as a support of one or more panellings 2 that are part of the parapet provided for such a balcony E.
  • the support profile 1 is preferably made of one of the metal alloys (aluminum alloys, in general) suitable for obtaining profiles but nothing prevents, if the structural requirements allows it, that it is made of other material, e.g. wood or PVC.
  • the support profile 1 has a substantially U-shaped section with a median plane ⁇ - ⁇ and comprises a basement 10 for anchoring (by known means not shown) to an installation surface SE of said building element E and a first 11 and second 12 opposed wings, substantially parallel to each other and to said plane ⁇ - ⁇ . Between said wings 11, 12 and the bottom 10 a cavity 13 is made that serves as a seat for at least the base 20 of the panelling 2 that projects outwards for its remaining part.
  • the base 20 of the panelling 2 rests on a board 6 that extends crosswise between the two wings 11, 12 of the support profile 1, in the proximity of its bottom 10, parallel to it.
  • locking means 4 allow retaining the panelling 2, inserted within the cavity 13 of the profile 1, in a set-up substantially coplanar to the plane ⁇ - ⁇ , for example substantially vertical.
  • said locking means 4 comprise elements 40, 41, 42 capable of acting reciprocally on the opposite faces 21, 22 of the panelling 2, locking it in said cavity 13.
  • the panelling 2 thus installed will be in a set-up substantially coplanar to plane ⁇ - ⁇ .
  • the panelling 2 retained on the corresponding support profile 1 may require an adjustment of its set-up in order to compensate for laying defects of the installation surface SE of the building element E.
  • said locking means 4 are appropriately designed to also act as adjusting means suitable for imparting at least to the base 20 of the panelling 2 a controllable rotation around a fulcrum F, centred in a preferably convex surface and parallel to the plane ⁇ - ⁇ .
  • this adjustment is obtained by enabling and imparting a rotation around the fulcrum F of at least the base 20 of the panelling 2 inside the cavity 13 of the profile 1, between its first 11 and second 12 wing, i.e., as shown in Figure 2a, 2b with respect to said plane ⁇ - ⁇ .
  • said adjusting means 4 comprise:
  • the projection of the abutment 42 on the first wing 11 is substantially such as to "fall" in the space H comprised between the actuators 40, 41.
  • the abutment 42 substantially defines and serves as a fulcrum F for the rotation, in clockwise or anticlockwise direction, of the panelling 2 inside the cavity 13 of the profile 1, said fulcrum F being located in an intermediate position between said actuators 40 and 41.
  • Each of said actuators 40, 41 is capable of translating crosswise within the cavity 13 of the support profile 1 to the extent most suitable for the adjustment and in the manners that will be described shortly.
  • the panelling 2 will rotate in a clockwise direction; vice versa if the actuators 40, 41 are translated in the opposite manner.
  • the adjusting means 4 also serve as locking means 4 of the panelling 2 that in fact is firmly and permanently retained in the desired set-up, clamped between the actuators 40, 41, and the opposed abutment 42.
  • a plurality of actuators 40, 41 of the type just described may be provided along the entire longitudinal development of the support profile 1; that is, there can be provided a first array of distal actuators 40 located in the proximity of the distal zone 14 of the profile 1, and a second array of proximal actuators 41 close to the bottom 10 thereof.
  • a first array of distal actuators 40 located in the proximity of the distal zone 14 of the profile 1
  • a second array of proximal actuators 41 close to the bottom 10 thereof.
  • the wing 11 whereon the actuators 40, 41 are provided is preferably that facing inwards of the building element E of installation, while the wing 12 carrying the abutment 42 is the outer one; in this way, the installer can operate totally safely by working comfortably from within the parapet (or balustrade) that the panelling 2 (if vertical) contributes to make, without the need of leaning dangerously out of it or using aerial or suspended equipment.
  • the wing 11 is preferably the one facing downwards (e.g. towards the walking surface, floor, etc.).
  • each distal actuator 40 is misaligned and staggered relative to the underlying proximal one 41; in other terms, the projection of each of the actuators 40 defining the distal array must be comprised in the interspace identified between two consecutive actuators 41 of the proximal array (or vice versa), so that they are all equally and easily reachable by the manoeuvring tool.
  • said distal 40 and proximal 41 actuators consist, respectively, of upper 40 and lower 41 actuators of the profile 1.
  • both the distal actuator 40 and the proximal actuator 41 are directly manoeuvrable by acting at the distal zone 14 of the cavity 13 of the profile 1 of the invention, that is, from the zone of insertion of the panelling 2 in the profile 1, which is the one furthest from its bottom 10.
  • the distal actuator 40 consists of a register (which may be totally known and equivalent to those already widely used in the prior art solutions) comprising:
  • head 402 and relative jaw 403 may also constitute a single piece.
  • a rotation of the thrust head 402 on the threaded pin 401 which is fixed and locked to the bearing profile 1, corresponds to one translatory motion thereof inside the cavity 13 and a consequent approaching/distancing of the relative jaw 403 on the opposite face 21 of the panelling 2 so as to adjust, in the manners already anticipated, the inclination thereof.
  • the proximal actuator 41 is instead of the type comprising at least:
  • said proximal actuator 41 comprises:
  • the said passage of the panelling 2 corresponds to said screwing from the configuration of Figure 2b to that of Figure 1 while by rising retrograde motion it is meant a stroke of the wedge 412 along the sliding plane 411 that leads it from a substantially "extracted” position from the chute 411 (e.g., see Figure 2a and/or 1) to one substantially “internal” to the same chute 411 (see Figure 2b , in which the wedge 412 is in abutment with the inner side of the chute 410).
  • Chute 410 and wedge 412 are in continuous connection by at least one suitable deformable connecting means 7.
  • said connecting means 7 is an elastic means capable of deforming to support and follow the displacement of the wedge 412.
  • said connecting means 7 is capable of:
  • said connecting means 7 may consist of an elastic tongue 7 comprising a shank 70 and a stem 71, connected thereto.
  • said shank 70 is inserted inside a seat 417 of the chute 410 while the stem 71 is constrained in known manner with its end 72 to the wedge 412.
  • said connecting means 7 may be co-extruded with the adjusting wedge 412.
  • the adjusting screw 413 comprises:
  • Said threaded stem 414 may be fastened in a corresponding through hole (schematically shown with reference 419 in Figure 4b ) of the chute 410, in particular in a hole 419 suitably obtained in its appendix 416 projecting towards the inside of the cavity 13 of the profile 1.
  • a hexagonal slot (or similar manoeuvring interfaces 418) on the end of the stem 414 opposite the head 415 allows manoeuvring the adjusting screw 413 with suitable tools U (see Figure 4b ).
  • Such adjusting means are therefore more easily identifiable and reachable by the manoeuvring tools U, this speeding up and improving the procedure of installation of the panellings 2 and of adjustment of their set-up.
  • the abutment 42 of the adjusting and locking means 4 may equally consist of a sector of the inner wall of the wing 12 of the profile 1 whereon it is provided or preferably of a second fixed jaw 42, constrained (e.g., "snap-wise" on special ribs 16) and having a back adapted to associate and cooperate with the opposite face 22 of the panelling 2.
  • This second solution is preferred because it allows choosing such second jaw 42 of the most suitable material and/or thickness.
  • the second jaw 42 may consist of a single rigid bar although it is also possible to provide a plurality of jaws 42 distributed along the entire longitudinal development of the profile 1.
  • the jaw 42 may comprise both a flat and, alternatively, convex back to favour the rotation of the panelling 2 inside the profile 1.
  • the convexity of the profile of the jaw 42 also reduces the risk of breakage of the panelling 2 during the operation of adjustment of the inclination.
  • said convexity may be defined by a curved, circle arc profile or according to any geometric line suitable for the purpose, and advantageously may be accentuated or attenuated according to the installation needs, such as for example the thickness or the material of the panelling 2.
  • casings 8 may be provided, suitable for being hooked (by interference and/or snap-wise, or by means of other known equivalent systems) on at least a part of the outer outline of the profile 1 giving it an increased aesthetic appeal.
  • the casing 8 may carry seals 80 that allow sealing the same cavity 13 preserving it from infiltrations of rainwater, humidity and dirt.
  • said abutment element 42 instead of being a fixed element of the wing 12 of the profile 1, may comprise means capable of allowing a crosswise translation thereof in the cavity 13 of the same profile 1.
