Abstract

THE SUBJECT OF THE PRESENT INVENTION IS A SELF-SUPPORTING GROUP FOR THE CLOSURE, INSULATION AND PROTECTION OF BUILDINGS. ACCORDING TO THE INVENTION, THE GROUP IS SHAPED OF A SERIES OF U-SHAPED PROFILES 11, CONVERGENT WINGS, PLACED SIDE BY SIDE, AND OF ASSEMBLY UPRIGHTS 13 RELATIVELY FLEXIBLE ELASTICALLY, EACH UPRIGHT HANGING THE WINGS 12 ADJACENT BY TWO PROFILES PLACED SIDE BY SIDE.

Description

* 1

  The present invention relates to a self-supporting group

  very advantageous for closing, insulation and

the protection of buildings.

  The need for vertical and horizontal protections on buildings and industrial buildings, to defend them against external agents,

is well known.

  To achieve these protections, we generally use

  two types of structures: (a) self-supporting structures;

b) non-self-supporting structures.

  Self-supporting structures, in addition to their own function of cover, protection, etc., also have the advantage of supporting themselves and, possibly,

  to support an overload. This limits the maximum

  mum, or even to suppress, the usual support structures

  tual. Of course, the realization of these self-supporting structures requires the use of materials having particular characteristics of mechanical strength and an often complicated form, materials whose production is difficult and difficult assembly, all of which translate into

  by high production costs.

  Non-self-supporting structures do not have sufficient consistency to support themselves; they therefore require an auxiliary support frame, independent, very dense and complex. Thus, on the one hand, for these non-self-supporting structures can be used more simple and economical materials, but, on the other hand, the necessary support frames involve costs

  high for the realization of the protections of the buildings.

  The present invention aims to obviate the

  advantages of the known protective structures mentioned

  above, while retaining their benefits.

  This goal is achieved through a self-supporting group for the protection of buildings, characterized by the fact

  It consists of a series of U-shaped profiles

  vergentes, placed side by side, and assembly amounts

  relatively elastically flexible, each of these

  tants being designed to enclose the adjacent wings of

  two sections placed side by side.

  The features and advantages of the present invention will become more clear and obvious in the description of one of its embodiments given hereinafter by way of example and illustrated by the attached drawing, of which

  the only figure is a perspective view of a group

to-bearing according to the invention.

  By way of non-limiting example, a self-supporting group

  both according to the invention, generally designated by the reference numeral 10, is formed of a series of U-shaped profiles, with convergent flanges 12, with rounded edges, arranged side by side and assembled by means of the uprights 13, each

  of these amounts enclosing the adjacent wings of two

threads placed side by side.

  Each amount 13 is constituted by a metal profile

  hollow and relatively elastically flexible, the

  which, in the rest position, has a substantially triangular shape, with lateral walls 14 which converge and, in the end part, diverge following a

  arc of circumference to form a mouth apart from ac-

  collection of the ends of the wings 12 to be embedded in the

so much 13.

  To set up group 10, we first put the

  side by side, and then, by force, a

  13 enclosing each pair of adjacent wings 12. The upright 13 securely grasps the flanges 12 and the walls 14 are clamped against the outer portions of the flanges 12 by adapting to their profile, as shown in the figure. This

  embedding provides a solid

  spun 11 and thus prevents any movement between the profiles,

even if they are solicited.

  In practice, at work, the profiles

  in the group 10 closing and protection functions, while the amounts 13 give the group self-supporting characteristics and are resistant in

particular to bending forces.

  The profiles 1i are preferably made of poly-

  double-skinned alveolar carbonate with air chamber

  terposed, as shown in the figure; in it are indicated in lines of lines and points the wings 12 in

  resting position, not deformed by the uprights 13.

  The group 10 made with the profiles 11 in poly-

  Alveolar carbonate has excellent characteristics both of lightness and robustness, at a low cost and

  has all the other characteristics of polycarbonate

  nate, which are quite advantageous for the protections

  translucent (high transmission of light, inflammability

  difficult, wide range of operating temperatures, etc.).

  The profiles 11 present externally, at the base

  wings 12, cavities 16 which facilitate the taking of e-

  any protective plastic substances inserted in the interstices 17 which form between the profiles

He mated.

  This embodiment, reproduced as a

  example, does not limit the possibility of possible

  laughing and / or additions. It is not necessarily necessary

  use of U-shaped polycarbonate profiles; other noble plastic materials or materials of another type can be used, but still bringing together the advantages of self-supporting and non-self-supporting structures, with reduced costs. The amount 13 does not have to be metallic; we can use

  any other relatively elastically flexible material.

  Finally, the amount 13 and the profiles can be modified.

  as to their form, provided that they have

  converging wings and that the sums 13 enclose solid-

  pair of adjacent wings, as shown below.

above.
