Abstract

The profiles forming the uprights 1 as the profiles forming the crosspieces 2 of this work have gutters 7, 12 for the infiltration water. The transfer of infiltration water from the sleepers 2 to the uprights 1 takes place without the need to make recesses in the uprights 1. Uprights and sleepers also have devices 15, 18 for the evacuation of the 'condensation water formed on the inside of the panes 3. If it is not necessary to drain the condensation water from the condensation water gutters 15 of the crosspieces 2, the drainage devices 18 of the pillars 1 remain closed cavities 10. If such an evacuation is necessary, the condensation water gutters 15 of the crosspieces 2 protrude inside the cavities 10 of the uprights through a recess 16 produced by cutting or milling.

Description

The invention relates to a stud and crossing structure.

  its criss-cross, in particular for facades, roofs or the like,

  made up of profiles forming uprights or similar elements

  blocks, of profiles oriented at right angles to them and forming crosspieces or the like, in which panes or the like are mounted, as well as cover profiles which cover the edges of the panes on the outside and are fixed by screws to the upright profiles or to the transverse profiles,

  in which the upright profiles and the pre-cross profiles

  feel fastening fins for seals pressed against the edges of the panes, gutters for infiltration water and evacuation devices suitable for receiving condensed water and in which the bottoms of gutters d infiltration water of the sleepers and the bottoms delimited by the fixing fins for the joints of the sleepers extend to the gutters of coordinated infiltration water

  upright profiles and are supported on the fixing fins

  tion for the seals of the upright profiles.

  In a known work of this type (see "System 4" from the company Four Seasons Solar Products Corporation, United States of America, in the prospectus "The Four Seasons (registered trademark) - Glashâuser und Wintergârten" (greenhouses and gardens winter) / 1987, in particular pages 4 and 5), the evacuation devices for the condensation water of the risers are made as

open gutters.

  These open gutters are often considered to be troublesome, especially from an aesthetic point of view. Of

  more, these gutters tend to clog up after a certain

  time. In addition, in many cases - depending on the climate

  inside the enclosure - there is no need to drain the water

  densification in the area of the upright profiles.

  The object of the invention is therefore to produce a work

  of the type mentioned so that especially the disadvantages mention-

born above are avoided.

  To this end, according to the invention, the evacuation devices

  cuation for the condensation water of the upright profiles are rea-

  at least outside the overlapping area of the rising profiles and cross-sections, like closed cavities. A person skilled in the art thus has the possibility of evacuating the condensation water coming from the sleeper profiles in the

  upright profiles or not to provide for such an evacuation,

  before the needs. For example, when the upright profiles are

  vertical or the climate in the enclosure is dry, we can

  think in many cases of the evacuation of condensed water,

  so that the closed cavities extend in this case without inter-

  rupturing over the entire length of the upright profiles. It is pre-

  fable that the evacuation devices for the condensation water of the sleeper profiles then extend to near the

  side wall of the cavity directed towards the cross-member.

  On the other hand, if the evacuation of the condensation water is necessary, for example when the upright profiles are inclined, there will only be closed cavities outside the

  overlap area. If therefore the condensate water has to be drained

  tion, it is recommended that the drainage devices for the condensation water from the cross-sections protrude, in an overlapping area, in a recess

of the upright profile cavity.

  Evacuation devices for condensed water

  tion of the sleeper profiles are preferably made as gutters of condensation water. Different embodiments

  advantageous cavities will be described in what follows.

  To form the recess of the cavity, it is preferable to

  rable to envisage a cutting or a milling. The stability of the structure (facade or roof) is thus increased because the screw connection of the transverse profile with the upright profile is reinforced by

  partial reception of the cross-section in the recess

ticked in the upright profile.

  Other characteristics and advantages of the invention

  will emerge more clearly from the description which follows from

  several non-limiting exemplary embodiments, as well as the accompanying drawings, in which: - Figure 1 is a perspective view of a straight joint of a cross-section and a profile-amount of a facade, without transfer Condensation water; FIG. 2a is a partial section of the joint according to FIG. 1,

  at the height of the screw connection, the cutting plane being

  pendulum to the longitudinal axis of the upright profile; - Figure 2b is a cross section of the profiLé-cross; - Figure 3 is the perspective view of a straight joint of a cross-profile and a front profile, with transfer of the condensation water; - Figure 4a is a cross section of the joint according to Figure 3, at the height of the screw connection, the plane of

  section being perpendicular to the longitudinal axis of the profile

  amount; - Figure 4b is a cross section - similar to Figure 2b - of the cross-section;

  - Figure 5 shows a cross section of another profile -

  upright according to the invention (corresponding to claim 8), the section being taken in the region of the right joint; - Figure 6a shows the cross section of yet another

  upright profile according to the invention (corresponding to the resale

  dication 5), the cut being taken outside a straight joint; - Figure 6b is a cross section of the upright section according to Figure 6a in the region of a straight joint, on which we can see a recess cut in a side wall; - Figure 7 is an exploded perspective view of a straight joint between an upright section according to Figures 6a and 6b and a cross-section according to Figure 4b; and - Figure 8 is the perspective view of the straight joint according to the

Figure 7 in the finished state.

  Figure 1 is a perspective view of a crossing point in a facade. This is made up of a work

  Upright profiles (vertical) 1 and transverse profiles (horizon-

  rate) 2 delimiting rectangular areas or panels lined with insulating glass panes 3. On the exterior side of the building, the structure has cover profiles 4 fixed by screws to the uprights 1 and the crosspieces 2 and provided with anchoring grooves 5 for external seals 6 pressed against the edges

windows.

  The uprights 1 (see in particular Figure 2a)

  consist of hollow profiles. They have gout-

  thirds 7 for the infiltration water and fixing fins forming anchor grooves 8 for internal seals 9. In this example, the profiles forming the uprights 1 have, inside (on the directed side towards the interior of the building) infiltration gutters 7 and grooves

  anchor 8, closed cavities 10 which are conforméeessentiel-

  like U-shaped gutters closed by a metal wall

  bracing 11 which is in one piece with the upright 1.

  The bracing wall 11 simultaneously forms the bottom 7 'of the infiltration water gutter 7 and the bottom 8' of the anchoring groove 8 for the seal 9. The cross members 2 are

  fixed to the uprights 1 by screws. The sleepers 2 (see in par-

  Figure 2b) also show gutters of infiltration water 12 and fixing fins forming anchor grooves 13 for internal seals 14 and, in addition, gutters 15 for collecting water from condensation forming on the inside of the windows. For the transfer of the infiltration water from the gutters 12 into the gutters 7, the bottoms 12 'of the infiltration gutters 12 and the bottoms 13' of the anchoring grooves 13 of the crosspieces 2 extend up to the infiltration water gutters 7 of the uprights 1, where they are in

  support on the fins forming the anchoring grooves 8.

  As can be clearly seen on the right half

  In Figure 1, this overlap results in heights of

  different sizes for seals 9 and 14.

  In this case, there is no transfer of water from

  densification of the gutters 15 of the crosspieces 2 at the upright 1. The gutters

  third of the condensed water 15 of the crosspieces 2 therefore extend only as close as possible to the outside of the cavity 10 of the upright 1. However, if a drainage of condensed water from the gutters 15 of the crosspieces 2 is also necessary

  or desirable, the gutters 15 will each protrude into an

  16 of the cavities 10, recess which is made by cutting or milling in the side wall 17 of the cavity 10 directed towards the cross 2 (see Figures 3, 4a, 4b). The cavities 10 - which are closed outside the overlapping area of the uprights 1 and the crosspieces 2 then become evacuation devices 18 for

  condensation water, devices which are part of the uprights 1.

  According to a variant of the upright 1 shown in FIG. 5, each cavity 10 can also be delimited by a metallic bracing wall 11 which only forms the bottom 8 'of a

anchor groove 8.

  Figure 6a shows the cross section of another mon-

  both 1 according to the invention o each cavity 10 is formed because an anchoring groove 8 closed by a seal 9. If, in this case, the water of condensation coming from a crosspiece 2 must be directed into The upright 1 for its evacuation, the wall

  side 17 of the cavity 10 can easily be provided with an

  16, in the overlapping area, by a milling operation

  wise for example so that amount 1 is again endowed oe

  drainage devices 18 for condensed water.

  The arrangement thus obtained is clear from the exploded view of Figure 7, where we also see the seals 9 fixed in the grooves 8 of the upright 1 and the seals 14 fixed in the grooves

13 of cross 2.

  Figure 8 finally shows the interlocking of the cross 2 in the recess 16; the parts of the cross-section 2 forming the gutters of infiltration water 12 and the anchoring grooves 13 are again in abutment on the parts of the upright section 1 forming the

anchor grooves 8.
