Abstract
A heat-insulated structural section assembly has inner and outer profiles 2, 6 respectively, spaced by a supporting insulating web 3 and an insulating spacer 4. The web 3 is formed by an inner metal section 31 spaced from an outer metal section 32 by an insulating body formed by two insulating bars 8 and the inner metal section 31 is secured to the inner profile 2. The outer profile 6 is secured to the web 3 by screw 5 extending through the insulating spacer 4 into the metal section 32 of the web 3. By selecting the thickness of spacer 4 so distance L may be varied to accommodate varying predetermined thicknesses of window denoted by triple insulating glass 16. <IMAGE>
Description
SPECIFICATION
Heat-insulated structural section assembly
This invention relates to a heat-insulated structural assembly, particularly, although not exclusively for facades.
Such a structural assembly may comprise an inner profile, which is often hollow, and a supporting web having an insulating body with an outer metallic part interposed between the inner profile and an outer profile. The terms "inner" and "outer" as used herein refer to inner and outer surfaces respectively of a glass window or facade.
Both inner and outer profiles are normally made of metal material and is usual for the outer profile to be secured to an outer part of the web by fastening screws. In such assemblies, the cold bridge formed in earlier assemblies is prevented because the fastening screws engage only into the outer, metallic part of the supporting web. Thus the insulating body of the supporting web provides separation between the inner and outer profiles to thereby provide a heating insulation barrier or thermal break. Such a known assembly has the advantage that because the insulating body is integrated into the supporting web, the outer profile merely needs to be screwed to a composite profile manufactured at a factory.However, difficulties arise when different glass rebate clearances are required; that is to say, when facade panels or glass panes of different thicknesses are to be provided, in which case, for example, composite profiles with different depths of the supporting web would be necessary. The object of the present invention is to provide a heat-insulated structural section assembly in which a variable glass rebate clearance may be achieved in a simple manner,
According to this invention there is provided a heat insulated structural section assambly comprising an inner profile spaced from an outer profile by a supporting, insulating, web projecting from the inner profile and an insulating spacer located between said web and said outer profile whereby fastening means extend from the outer profile through the insulating spacer to said web.
Usually the inner and outer profiles are made of metal and the supporting insulating web comprises an inner section attached to the inner profile, an outer section adjacent the insulating spacer and an annular insulating body disposed between said inner section and said outer section, and the fastening means are usually screws or bolts threadably engaged in said outer section.
Additionally, it is usual for the inner and outer sections of the web to be formed of metal, so that the web may be readily attached to the inner profile ana to provide sufficient strength for attachment of the fastening screws.
Preferably the insulating spacer is continuous in the longitudinal direction of the inner and outer profiles, or alternatively, the spacer may be interrupted in the longitudinal direction of the inner and outer profiles to be disposed only about the fastening means.
Advantageously, the insulatirig spacer is provided with projections which engage into an undercut receiving groove in the outer section of the web which groove extends in the longitudinal direction of the profiles.
Conveniently for location of the insulating spacer on the outer profile, the spacer is provided with a groove extending in the longitudinal direction of the profiles which is dirccted toward the outer profile and which receives a complementary projection from the outer profile.
Advantageously the insulating spacer is made of rubber or similar synthetic material.
Additionally, for reasons of saving material, the insulating spacer may be hollow. It has been found easier to secure the fastening screws or bolts to the web if slotted apertures are provided in the insulating spacer.
The invention will now be described, by way of example, with reference to the accompanying drawing, which shows a horizontal cross-section through a heat-insulated structural section assembly in accordance with the invention.
The heat-insulating structural section assembly 1 has an inner metal profile 2 which is hollow and from the outer face of which projects a supporting, insulating web 3. The web 3 has the outer surface thereof connected through the intermediary of an insulating spacer 4 to an outer profile 6 with the web 3 being connected by fastening screws or bolts 5 (only one being shown in the Figure) to the outer profile. The screws or bolts 5 extend through a slotted aperture in the insulating spacer 4, which may be hollow in the longitudinal direction.
The web 3 is formed of three parts, namely an inner metal section 31 connected to the outer surface of the inner profile 2, an outer metal section 32 connected to the insulating spacer 4 with the sections 31 and 32 being spaced by an insulating body formed by two insulating bars 8 which are dove-tailed into undercut grooves 9, 10 in the inner and outer sections 31, 32 respectively.
The insulating body 8 therefore forms a thermal break between the inner and outer profiles. The insulating spacer 4 may be made of rubber or similar synthetic material. The spacer 4 is provided with projections 11 which extend in the longitudinal direction and which engage into longitudinally extending undercut grooves 12 in the metal section 32. So as to make it easier to assemble the outer profile 6, the insulating spacer 4 is provided with a longitudinally extending groove 1 3 which locates about a complementary projection 14 of the outer profile 6.
The fastening screws or bolts 5 are longitudinally spaced from one another and the thread 1 5 of the screws or bolts 5 is threadably engaged into the outer metal section 32.
In the embodiment currently being described, there are provided three panes of glass 1 6 to provide triple insulation and these glass panes are secured between the inner profile 2 and outer profile 6 by gaskets 17, 18 respectively. An outer covering panel 1 9 is clipped over the outer surface of the outer profile 6 to cover the heads of the fastening screws or bolts 5 to thereby present a neat appearance.
The present invention thus provides a heatinsulated structural assembly with a thermal break between the inner and outer profiles and yet in which the rebate for the glass denoted by distance
L may be varied simply by selecting the thickness of the insulating spacer 4 to accommodate the required thickness of glass panel.
Although described above as being a continuous longitudinal section, the insulating spacer 4 may be a series of discrete spacers each disposed about the fastening screw or bolt 5.
