Definitions

  • Means for securing a panel to a framework member takes the form of a part which is either part of at least one wall of said member or is fitted over such a wall part and which has, adjacent to one longitudinal edge, a platform on which an edge of the panel can bear and an upstanding flange, adjoining said platform, against which a marginal portion of one face of the panel can bear and, at the opposite longitudinal edge, a hook formation engageable by a bead or clip for bearing against a marginal portion of the other face of the panel.
  • This invention concerns improvements relating to frameworks, particularly but not exclusively frameworks composed of tubular members of square section such as are described in the specification of our United States Patent No. 3,218,097.
  • An object of the invention is to provide means by which glass or other cladding, display or like panels can be secured in a framework composed of hollow members.
  • means for the purpose set forth includes a part which either comprises part of a wall of a hollow framework member or is adapted for fitting over such a wall part and which has, on the side remote from the said member and adjacent to one longitudinal edge of the said part, a platform, preferably an elevated platform, on which an edge of the panel can bear, an upstanding flange, adjoining the said platform, against which a marginal portion of one face of the panel can bear and, at the opposite longitudinal edge of the said part, a hook formation engageable by a head or clip for bearing against a marginal portion of the other face of the panel.
  • the said part is an auxiliary member it may have flanges engageable over the framework member.
  • the said part either comprises two adjacent walls of the framework member or is adapted for fitting over two such walls.
  • respective platforms and adjoining flanges are located adjacent to a common longitudinal edge of the walls, while the hook formations are located at the other longitudinal edges thereof.
  • a bead or clip for use with such a member may comprise a curved springy strip having a hook formation at one edge for engagement with the hook formation on the aforesaid part and a dependent flange at the opposite edge for hearing against the marginal portion of the said other face of the panel.
  • the bead or clip may comprise a strip of channel section whose one flange has at its free edge a hook formation for engagement with the hook formation on the aforesaid part, while the other flange has at its United States Patent ice free edge an out-turned projection engageable with the said part below the platform.
  • the bead may advantageously have a flexible lip for hearing against the marginal portion of the said other face of the panel.
  • FIGURE. 1 is a cross section through a tubular framework together with an auxiliary member and bead
  • FIGURE 2 a similar view showing another form of head
  • FIGURE 3 a cross section through a different form of auxiliary member
  • FIGURE 4 a cross section illustrating a tubular framework member which is itself provided with formations shown in the previous figures.
  • the framework member 1 shown in FIGURES 1 and 2 is of square cross section, as in the specification of our aforesaid patent.
  • an auxiliary member 2 is applied to the upper face of a horizontally disposed member 1.
  • the auxiliary member 2 has narrow downturned flanges 3, 4 at its longitudinal edges, so that it can be fitted tightly over the upper face of the member 1, as illustrated.
  • the member 2 has an upstanding flange 5 and, on the inside of that flange, a shallow elevated platform or ledge 6.
  • the platform 6 is of such width that a panel 7 of the thickness normally to be used will, when abutted against the flange 5, overhang the free edge of the platform.
  • FIG. 1 For holding the panel 7 against the flange 5, a shaped springy bead 9 is provided. Two forms of such bead 9 are shown in FIGURES 1 and 2, in full lines detached and in chain lines in the assembled position.
  • the head 9 of FIG- URE 1 consists of an upwardly concave strip 10 with a small downwardly and outwardly extending hook formation 11 at one longitudinal edge for interlocking with the lip 8 of the member 2 and a wide downwardly extending flange 12 at the opposite edge.
  • the flange 12 is designed to bear flat against the marginal portion of the panel 7 overhanging the platform 6 when the formations 11, 8 have been engaged and the bead 9 is pressed down into place.
  • the panel 7 can thus be held in position by the substantially normal pressure of the flange 12 maintained by the springiness of the bead 9.
  • the concave shape resists any tendency of the bead 9 to spring out of place. Nevertheless the bead can be released, when so required, by the exercise of thumb pressure at its edge 13. Due to the flexifbility of the bead, substantial variation in thickness of panels 7 used can be tolerated.
  • a continuous bead 9 is used, but short lengths of such bead may be provided at intervals so as to serve as clips.
  • the auxiliary member and the bead may suitably be made of a rigid polyvinyl-chloride material.
  • head 9 shown in FIGURE 2 is of inverted channel section with a flat web 14 and two flanges 15, 16.
  • a hook formation 11 is provided at the free edge of the flange 15.
  • the flange 16 has an outtured flange 17 engageable in an undercut groove 18 formed in the side face below the platform 6 on the member 2.
  • the lip 19 is moulded or extruded integrally with the rest of the bead, but whereas the latter is made of a springy stiff material, for instance a rigid, polyvinyl-chloride material, the lip 19 is of a more flexible material, for example plasticised polyvinyl-chloride material, capable of considerable resilient deformation.
  • the lip 19 can flex considerably, as shown in chain lines, and will accommodate itself readily to a considerable range of thicknesses of panels 7. It also makes a neat seal against the panel.
  • one integral auxiliary member is to embrace two faces of a framework member, it may, as illustrated in FIGURE 3, have a shape corresponding to two of the above-described members 2 united at right angles at a common longitudinal edge and having flanges 4, as well as hook formations 8 at the other, free, edges only. Panels in two planes at right angles can thus be accommodated against respective flanges 5. Either form of bead 9 can be employed.
  • FIGURE 4 illustrates such an arrangement which is similar to that of FIGURE 3 except that the formations of the members 2 are integral with the tubular member 1a. If the tubular member 1a has the same, or substantially the same, internal and external dimensions as the member 1, such members 1a can be used wherever required in a framework otherwise composed of plain tubular members 1.
  • a panel 7 can be secured in the manner described to all of four framework members 1 or 1a surrounding the panel.
  • Similar panel-securing means can be used with frame work members of other hollow cross sections, for instance a round section or a lipped or plain channel section.
  • the tubular members may be made of metal or a strong plastics material, as may also the members 2.
  • Apparatus for securing a panel in sealed relation to a planar walled support comprising:
  • a connector comprising an elongated web
  • said web including a gripping flange along each edge thereof extending in the same direction and generally normal to the plane of the Web and aid web being adapted to overlie a first planar wall of said support and said flanges being adapted to frictionally grip opposed planar walls of said support to clamp said connector to said support,
  • said enlargement having one surface generally parallel to and spaced from the plane of said web and a second surface generally normal to the plane of said web,
  • said second surface having a first groove extending therealong
  • said retaining member including a Web and a pair of spaced generally parallel legs
  • each leg having a hook portion at the terminals thereof
  • said hook portions projecting outwardly of the respective leg and being disposed in said opposed grooves being in opposed parallel to thereby fasten said retaining member to said connector
  • a panel may be seated on said one surface of said enlargement and against said abutment flange and retained thereagainst by said means on said re taining member.
  • Apparatus for securing two panels at right angles to to each other in sealed relation to "a planar walled support comprising:
  • a connector comprising two elongated webs at right angles to each other and with the adjoining edges of each web integrally joined
  • each said web including a gripping flange along the free edge thereof and generally normal to the plane of the web, said webs being adapted to overlie a first pair of adjoining planar 'walls of said support and said flanges being adapted to frictionally grip a second pair of adjoining planar walls of said support to clamp said connector to said support,
  • said enlargement having one surface generally parallel to and spaced from the plane of said web and a second surface generally normal to the plane of said web,
  • said second surface having a first groove extending therealong
  • each said retaining member including a web and 'a pair of spaced generally parallel legs
