Description

SPECIFICATION Cladding panel The present invention relates to a polygonal cladding panel consisting of metal and/or plastic, with uniform bevelling of at least one edge and constantly decreasing bevelling of the edges adjoining the edge or edges with uniform bevelling, and with fastening holes for nailing in the plane panel region.
Square cladding panels made of metal for covering facades or roofs are already known, one of their edges being uniformly bevelled and their edges adjoining this at rightangles having constantly decreasing bevelling which extends up to the fourth edge of the cladding panel located opposite the uniform bevelling (U.S. Patent Specification 1,434,166). Plates or strips provided additionally on the edges with the decreasing bevelling and having fastening holes for nailing serve for assembly.
Apart from the extra outlay in terms of material entailed by this, together with increased production costs, the decreasing bevelling extending up to the fourth panel edge made without bevelling leads to difficulties in sealing off the surface as a whole and in nailing.
Attempts have been made to overcome the problems of nailing (Swiss Patent Specification 278,856) by providing indentations starting from the upper panel surface in the region of the fastening holes. However, during production, even this measure results in an extra outlay in terms of cost and in an additional fastening bevel made on one side.
Starting from this state of the art, the object on which the invention is based is to provide a cladding panel, especially for facade cladding, which can be produced economically, can be fitted by simple means and, when fitted, guarantees the best possible aesthetic appearance.
This object is achieved, according to the invention, because the constantly decreasing bevels of the edges adjoining the edge or edges with uniform bevelling taper off on the plane panel surface and end in the region of the fastening hole or corresponding holes located in front of these edges in the direction of the decreasing bevel. Such a cladding panel can be produced efficiently on simple edge-bevelling or spinning lathes, and when the cladding panels are fastened to a lattice work the tapering off of the decreasing bevel in the region of the fastening holes prevents, for example, dents or indentations which, quite apart from the fact that the overall appearance of a facade cladding for instance is adversely affected, also make it impossible for the particular cladding panel to rest uniformly and sealingly on the base without being tilted.
A further advantage is to be seen in the fact that, with a cladding panel designed according to the invention, it is possible to do without the facade connecting and sealing sections necessary hitherto during laying. In particular, the cladding panels can be handled with simple tools, such as marking tools, punching shears and pliers, so that they can be bevelled at any point by hand. It is thereby possible also to clad window and door soffits in a particularly economical way.
Furthermore, the cladding panel according to the invention makes it possible to adopt all the known cladding methods, for example double cladding, horizontal cladding, looped cladding, vertical or ashlar cladding, honeycomb cladding, etc.
In a development of the invention, it has proved advantageous if the edges adjoining the edges with constantly decreasing bevelling each have a bevel in the direction of the plane panel surface opposite the uniform bevelling.
This ensures that the facade is sealed off against striking and creeping water on the front and rear sides.
This purpose is also served if, according to a further idea of the invention, the bevels in the opposite direction of the panel surface are guided so as to run, constantly decreasing, towards one another at rightangles and taper off on the plane panel surface before the two edges converge.
In a development of the idea of the invention, it is also advantageous if the bevels of the panel edges form an obtuse angle with the plane panel surface. As a result of this measure, the individual panels can be stacked and packaged tightly on top of one another for transport purposes. This special bevelling is especially advantageous for square panels with uniform bevelling of one edge, two edges adjoining it with constantly decreasing bevelling and an opposite smooth edge. The panels can thus be packaged in a space-saving way by fitting into one another.
A preferred embodiment of the invention is a cladding panel having the shape of a pentagon, of which the edges with constantly decreasing bevelling are arranged relative to one another in the manner of the legs of a rightangled triangle, between which is the edge with uniform bevelling. Such a cladding panel can be regularly used for bargeboard or eaves cladding, and there is no longer any need for a separate costly cutting operation with a corresponding loss of material.
In connection with this embodiment, it has proved particularly advantageous to make at least one corner truncated. In this design, selective right and left laying with a panel form is possible. Moreover, reduced stock keeping and simplified cost-saving production are achieved.
Essentially the same advantages are obtained if, according to a further idea of the invention, the cladding panel is designed as a hexagon with three edges adjoining one another with uniform bevelling, the first and third edges adjoining the edges with the constantly decreasing bevels which taper off on the plane panel surface before the edge located opposite the second edge and which end in the region of the fastening hole or fastening holes located underneath this edge.
In a development of the invention, the cladding panels themselves which preferably consist of metal sheets, but can also be produced from suitable plastics, have ventilating or aerating slits which can also be arranged in the region of the bevels.
Particularly as regards cladding panels made of metal, for example copper, aluminium or steel, the latter preferably galvanised, it can be advantageous to give the panel surface a particular structuring. Light reflection which is sometimes undesirable is avoided in this way.
The cladding panel can also be coated, and particularly where metal panels are concerned it can often be advantageous to provide heat insulation and/or soundproofing on the rear side.
The invention will be explained in detail with reference to the exemplary embodiments illustrated in the Figures.
Of these Figure 1 shows a plan view of a square cladding panel Figure 2 shows a side view of this panel Figure 3 shows a plan view of a pentagonal cladding panel Figure 4 shows a side view of the same panel Figure 5 shows a plan view of a hexagonal cladding panel Figure 6 shows a side view of the same panel Figure 7 shows an example of a looped cladding with a truncated corner Figure 8 shows an example of a honeycomb cladding.
The rectangular cladding panel 1 illustrated in Fig. 1 consists, for example, of copper or aluminium, the four corners being designated by 2. The plan view is from above, and accordingly the bevels 3 and 4 have an obtuse angle relative to the lower plane panel surface.
A plurality of such cladding panels can therefore be transported stacked tightly on top of one another. The bevel 3 is uniform over the entire edge length, that is to say the top edge 6 and the bottom edge 5 extend parallel to one another. The constantly decreasing bevel is designated by 4, the bottom edge 8 running towards the top edge 7, and it tapers off in the lower panel plane, specifically in the region of the fastening holes 9. As shown particularly in Fig. 2, the region of the fastening holes is completely plane, that is to say free of bevels.
Fig. 3 shows a pentagonal cladding panel, again in a plan view from above. The uniform bevel 11 is formed by the top edge 12 and the bottom edge 13 which are guided parallel to one another. The bevel 14 adjoining it and extending in the manner of the legs of a rightangled triangle consists of the top edge 15 and the bottom edge 16, the bottom edge 16 tapering off in the lower panel plane in the region of the fastening holes 17.
The bevels 18, which ensure that the individual panels are laid close against one another, are directed upwards from the drawing plane.
20 denotes the bottom edge, and 19 designates the top edge which descends constantly and which tapers off in front of the corner 21 in the upper plane surface of the cladding panel 10. Fig. 4 illustrates a side view of the uniform bevel 11, the bevel 14 extending relative to this in the manner of the legs of a right-angled triangle, and the bevel 18 extending in the opposite direction to the panel plane.
Fig. 5 shows a plan view from above of a hexagonal cladding panel 22 according to the invention. In accordance with the definition given above, 23, 24 and 25 denote uniform bevels, with the top edges 26, 27 and 28 and with the bottom sheet cut edges 29, 30 and 31. Adjoining these are the constantly decreasing bevels 32, the bottom edges 33 of which run towards the top edges 34 and merge into the lower panel plane before the smooth edge 35 in the region of the fastening holes 36. Fig. 6 shows a side view of such a panel.
Figs. 7 and 8 illustrate examples of the use of the cladding panels designed according to the invention. Here, Fig. 7 shows a so-called looped cladding with a truncated panel corner.
The cladding panels 38 are fastened to the lattice work 37 at the fastening points 39 by means of nailing. The panels 38 have the truncated corner 40, and cladding can be carried out either from right to left or from left to right.
In contrast to the exemplary embodiment according to Fig. 7, Fig. 8 shows an embodiment in which the panels 41 are fastened to the lattice work 42 in the form of a so-called honeycomb cladding. These cladding panels also have a truncated corner 43 and are nailed to the lattice work 42 at the points 44.
It will be understood that the invention has been described above purely by way of example, and that various modifications of detail can be made within the ambit of the invention.
