Definitions

  • the present invention basically regards the building sector for the construction of the fronts of buildings and of continuous roofing with panels made of glass and the like, and in particular to an innovative system for fixing said panels to load-bearing structures.
  • the main purpose of the present invention is to overcome said drawbacks by providing a system for fixing the panels made of glass or the like using anchorage means with a spherical joint which will not require the making of holes in the panels themselves.
  • a fixing system which comprises at least one support equipped with means for fastening the edge of the panels, in which each panel to be fixed intersects, with its own thickness, the spherical surface of rotation of the spherical joint itself.
  • FIG. 1 is a median cross-sectional view of a first embodiment of the invention
  • FIGS. 2 and 3 are enlarged details corresponding to components that can be used in specific cases
  • FIGS. 4A and 4B are, respectively, a front view and a cross-sectional view of a component of the fixing device
  • FIG. 11 is a side view of the fixing screw of the device described.
  • FIG. 12 is a cross-sectional view of a first embodiment of the invention.
  • FIG. 13 is a cross-sectional view of a second embodiment of the invention.
  • FIG. 14 is a cross-sectional view of a third embodiment of the invention.
  • FIGS. 15 and 16 are, respectively, a side view and a cross-sectional view of the support of the device of FIG. 13 ;
  • FIGS. 17 and 18 are, respectively, a side view and a cross-sectional view of the pressure element of the device of FIG. 13 ;
  • FIGS. 19 and 20 are, respectively, a side view and a cross-sectional view of the support of the device of FIG. 12 ;
  • FIGS. 21 and 22 are, respectively, a side view and a cross-sectional view of the pressure element of the device of FIG. 12 ;
  • FIGS. 23 and 24 are, respectively, a side view and a cross-sectional view of the support of the device of FIG. 14 ;
  • FIGS. 25 and 26 are, respectively, a side view and a cross-sectional view of the pressure element of the device of FIG. 14 .
  • the fixing device D for supporting panels with punctiform anchorage and spherical joint according to the present invention, in addition to overcoming the drawbacks and defects of current systems, renders the operations of installation simpler and more economically advantageous.
  • the fixing device D of the panel 2 basically comprises a support 82 and a pressure element 32 , set between which are two pairs of spherical caps 4 set opposite to one another, which press a panel 2 set between them, said caps 4 in turn housing purposely provided spherical seats made, respectively, in the support 82 and in the pressure element 32 .
  • the height of the caps 4 set opposite to one another is such that, added to the thickness of the panel 2 , it is equal to the diameter of the sphere that generates both the caps 4 and their seats, in the support 82 and in the pressure element 32 .
  • Said spherical caps 4 are preferably made of nylon or of Derlin® (an extremely resistant and stable plastic material).
  • the panel 2 that is withheld between the spherical caps 4 is preferably made of glass (whether single-glazed or double-glazed) and can advantageously be set horizontally, vertically or however inclined in space.
  • the external pressure element 32 is fixed to the support by means of a screw 6 preferably with a conical head, designed to be tightened in the stem G of the support 82 .
  • a conical ring (locking spring washer) 7 is provided to prevent the screw 6 from possibly loosening off.
  • the stem G of the support 82 has a second threaded hole coaxial with the hole for locking of the screw 6 , in which a bolt 9 is inserted to render the support fixed to a load-bearing structure 10 .
  • the spherical caps 4 and the glass 2 are simply in contact, and since the spherical caps are made of plastic material, such as, for example, Derlin®, there may easily arise a relative sliding originated either by the stresses induced by external agents or by possible thermal expansion, without thereby jeopardizing stability of the fixing device.
  • plastic material such as, for example, Derlin®
  • an adapter 12 made of nylon or Derlin® is provided, which externally is spherical, with a radius equal to that of the seat of the support 82 and of the pressure element 32 , and internally has a spherical seat with a diameter equal to the sphere generated by the two spherical caps 4 for the single glazing 2 ( FIG. 3 ).
  • it is possible to use only the spherical caps 4 employing supports and pressure elements with spherical seats having a radius equal to that of the spherical caps 13 .
  • a purposely provided lock nut 16 is released, and the support 82 is turned by screwing it or unscrewing it on the bolt 9 until it reaches the desired position, and is then locked in position by tightening the same lock nut 16 .
  • a shim 18 made of soft, preferably plastic, material is set in between.
  • the invention envisages that the gap between the various panes of glass that will constitute the finished work, fronts of buildings, roofings, etc., will be sealed with a silicone sheath and silicone on the outside. Said operation must be carried out before installing the external pressure element 32 .
  • the description provided herein relates to a fixing device D with two punctiform spherical rests.
  • the fixing devices can have one rest, or else two, three, four or more than four rests.
  • FIGS. 13 and 15 - 18 A second embodiment of the invention, particularly suitable for fixing of the terminal panels, is shown in FIGS. 13 and 15 - 18 , which regard a fixing device D with a single rest (a pair of spherical caps), comprising a support 81 and a pressure element 31 .
  • FIGS. 14 and 23 - 26 A third embodiment of the invention, particularly suitable for fixing the corner ends of adjacent panels, is shown in FIGS. 14 and 23 - 26 , which regard a fixing device D with four rests.
