Description

SECURING SYSTEM FOR A PANEL
Field of the Invention
The present invention relates to a securing system for a panel and in particular but not exclusively to a securing system for a solar panel which minimizes the risk of damage to the panel when secured in position on a support.
Background of the Invention
Solar panels are generally flat structures which are relatively thin so that they are not too bulky when mounted on a surface. Also they need to have a large enough surface area for the panel to generate the power that will be used by a device. Further solar panels often include glass in their structure, so the combination of being of a thin flat shape and being formed of glass means that solar panels are relatively delicate structures. In particular when panels are mounted, there is the risk of damage to the edges of the panels.
Traditionally solar panels are mounted on large surfaces such as roofs but increasingly they are incorporated in everyday objects which need to be self-reliant on the energy they generate. Increasingly, objects such as street signs and street lights are powered by solar panels and street furniture such as guide posts are also using solar technology to provide power when natural lighting fades. The solar panels cause a light to be switched on at the end of the day after the panels have been charging throughout daylight hours. The switching occurs when the light levels fall and this means that it is not necessary to have a set time for switching on lighting remotely so they provide a convenient way of lighting public places easily and conveniently. Because the panels are mounted on structures that are in proximity to the public, they are prone to being knocked which means there is an increased risk of damage to the panels themselves.
An example of an item is a public space is a road sign as discussed in GB 2519703 where a solar panel is mounted on a face of a housing which in turn is mounted on a vertical post. The solar panel lies in a substantially vertical plane and can be orientated so it faces a desired direction to direct or to receive light. The solar panel in this case is mounted on the surface of the housing which means that the edges of the panel may be at risk of damage because there are exposed. US 2012/0223032 describes a mounting system for a solar panel where there is a plurality of mounting bases at each corner of the panel which is then secured to a surface. The panel is attached to the mounted bases which are arranged to have minimal contact with the panel so as not to obscure the solar collecting surface which again means that there is the risk of damage to the panel edges because the panel edges are exposed.
Furthermore, in both of these systems the fixings used to locate the panels in position are in direct contact with the panel itself, which with a delicate structure also increases the risk of damage to the panel as a result of contact with the fixing.
The present invention seeks to overcome the problems of the prior art by providing a panel mounting system which holds a panel securely in position and also which minimises the risk of damage to the panel, and in particular the edges of the panel.

Brief description of the drawings
An embodiment of the present invention will now be more particularly described, by way of example, with reference to the accompanying drawings, in which:
Figure I shows a cross sections of a polygonal bollard with four panels secured in position using a securing system for a panel according to an embodiment of the invention; and
Figure 2 shows: an exploded view of a securing system for a panel.
Detailed description of preferred embodiments
The example embodiments are described in sufficient detail to enable those of ordinary skill in the art to embody and implement the systems and processes herein described. It is important to understand that embodiments can be provided in many alternate forms and should not be construed as limited to the examples set forth herein.
Accordingly, while embodiment can be modified in various ways and take on various alternative forms, specific embodiments thereof are shown in the drawings and described in detail below as examples. There is no intent to limit to the particular forms disclosed. On the contrary, all modifications, equivalents, and alternatives falling within the scope of the appended claims should be included. Elements of the example embodiments are consistently denoted by the same reference numerals throughout the drawings and detailed description where appropriate.
Unless otherwise defined, all terms (including technical and scientific terms) used herein are to be interpreted as is customary in the art. It will be further understood that terms in common usage should also be interpreted as is customary in the relevant art and not in an idealised or overly formal sense unless expressly so defined herein.
Referring now to the drawings, wherein like reference numbers are used to designate like elements throughout the various views, several embodiments of the present invention are further described. The figures are not necessary drawn to scale, and in some instances the drawings have been exaggerated or simplified for illustrative purposes only. One of ordinary skill in the art will appreciate the many possible applications and variations of the present invention based on the following examples of possible embodiments of the present invention.
Figure I shows a cross sectional view of a securing system and support for a panel generally as I in the figure. In this case the support 2 is a polygonal bollard which has four faces that each has an aperture 3. Although a polygonal support is shown the support may have any cross section and just some of the faces may have a window, while others do not, or they have a blanking plate which is secured in positon using a securing system of the invention. The blanking plate can be substituted for a solar panel if required. It is also envisaged that the support may have a circular or a cross section that has curved areas in which case the panel may be made from a curved or material that allows it to flex to mirror the curved shape of the support.
The invention allows for a panel 4 to be positioned so that it is visible in the window 3. The panel typically is a solar panel which can be activated by light that passes through the window. Typically the panel is edged by a sealing member 5 which forms an edge seal and extends around the periphery of the panel. The seal ideally is a complete body that extends around the periphery of the panel to form a water tight seal. The panel and edge seal forms a body that is of a greater dimension than the window. The sealing member has a substantially U shaped section that can be pushed over the edge of the panel and this section has a first portion 50 that borders the front face 40 of the panel, while a second portion 51 forms a sealing edge at the back of the panel 41. There is also an extension 52 of the sealing member 5 which extends in a direction away from the U shapes portion of the edge seal. The portion 51 also has a rib 53 which is used to locate a panel back plate 6 in the correct location relative to the panel 4.
The panel back plate abuts against the second face 41 of the panel and sandwiches the second portion 51 and of the edge seal between the panel back plate and the panel itself. There is an adhesive, which typically is provided in the form of an adhesive strip 9 which secures the panels back plate and panel together. The adhesive strip is made of a foam material which provides a cushioning layer between the panel and panel back plate. There is a panel securing clip 7 which is formed of a resilient material to provide a spring clip. As shown the clip is substantially U shaped with two limbs that bias away from one another. One limb is positioned at the back of the edge plate while the other is seated against a projection on the support The clip urges the panel back plate towards the panel which in turn pushes the panel so that the peripheral edge of a first face 40 rests against the edge of the window of the support. By using a panel back plate and spring clip there is no force exerted directly on the panel itself, which reduces the risk of it being damaged.
An exploded view of a securing system for a panel is shown in Figure 2. The support is shown as 2 and this has a window 3 which will receive the panel 4. The support has projections 8’ and 8” which are located on either side of the window but spaced back from the window so there is adequate space for the panel 4, the seal 5 and the panel back plate 6 to be located whilst also leaving room for a spring clip 7 to be positioned between the projections 8’, 8” and the rear of the panel back plate 6. The spring clip is generally S shaped and has a portion which is substantially U shaped with opposing limbs 70, 71 which run substantially parallel to one another. At the end of the S shaped clip there is a hooked end which can hook over a projection on the support to hold the clip in position. There is also an L shaped end portion that can attach to a securing means within the support to hold the whole system in positon within the support.
The panel back plate 6 has cut out portions 60 that are located towards either end of the panel back plate and these can receive projections 52 on the panel edge seal so that the back plate and seal are held in a predefined position relative to one another. The foam adhesive strip 9 is sandwiched between the rear of the panel and the back plate 6. The foam and the panel edge seal 5 provide cushioning elements so that the panel is not held rigidly against the window and there is a degree of give if it is knocked so the risk of damage to the panel is reduced. The panel edge seal 5 also provides a shock absorbing element that protects the panel from being impacted against the periphery of the window in the support In addition the seal prevents the ingress of water and debris into the support and so keeps any power supply elements free from the risk of damage through corrosion.
By using a system where there is no fixings that directly contact the panel and also by having cushioning elements such as the edge seal, this provides an easy to assemble and robust system for mounting a panel such as a solar panel. Further the use of an indirect force that biases the panel towards a cushioning element such as the panel edge seal reduces the risk of damage to the panel so making it a safer and longer lasting product, whilst retaining aesthetic appeal by not needing to use bulky fixing elements or unsightly elements such as screws or bolts.
Although illustrative embodiments of the invention have been disclosed in detail herein, with reference to the accompanying drawings, it is understood that the invention is not limited to the precise embodiments shown and that various changes and modifications can be effected therein by one skilled in the art without departing from the scope of the invention.
