Definitions

  • ABSTRACT Means are provided to increase the structural rigidity for a panel mounting system of the type wherein elastomeric members, including panel receiving channels therein, are mounted to rigid structural members about a building opening to sealingly receive construction panels.
  • the structural members include longitudinally disposed outwardly extending integral protrusions which are closely received by protrusion receiving channels in the gasket members themselves in order to provide added overall structural rigidity for the system.
  • the gaskets each include a pair of spaced apart mounting tongues closely received in tongue receiving channels disposed on each side of the protrusion in the rigid structural elements for maintaining the gaskets in a desired position.
  • the present invention is particularly applicable to window mounting systems wherein an elastomeric gasket member surrounds a window opening and has continuous grooves therein for receiving the edges of adjacent coplanar window panels and wherein the gasket member is affixed to rigid structural members on the building itself.
  • an elastomeric gasket member surrounds a window opening and has continuous grooves therein for receiving the edges of adjacent coplanar window panels and wherein the gasket member is affixed to rigid structural members on the building itself.
  • Ladder gaskets include a continuous periphery of rectangular or other shapes, and integral muntin cross members extending in only one direction, either horizontal or vertical, in parallel relationship.
  • Grid gaskets include a continuous periphery of rectangular or other shapes, and integral muntin cross members extending both horizontally and vertically, and integrally intersecting one another.
  • the present invention may be used anywhere with strip gaskets, or on the periphery or muntin cross members of ladder or grid gaskets.
  • these panels are of a height sufficient to extend vertically between one or more stories of the building and are many feet in width so that there is a substantial amount of weight involved.
  • rigid mullion structural members and associated elastomeric gaskets which are most advantageously of a narrow width, are employed to join and seal the adjacent panel edges.
  • the mullion structural members and gaskets have been employed, including those in which the gaskets have spaced lips defining oppositely facing channels which receive adjacent edges of two coplanar panels.
  • the present invention contemplates means for increasing the structural rigidity in a building wall structure which means overcomes all of the above referred problems and others, and is simple to manufacture, easy to use, and readily adaptable to any building design wherein it is desired to employ thin elongated elastomeric gasket members for mounting construction panels.
  • means for increasing structural rigidity for a glazing system of the type employing rigid structural members to span building wall openings with panel mounting gaskets are provided and are comprised of a protrusion extending outwardly of the rigid structural members into the associated gasket in order that the load placed on the gasket by a panel may be partially transmitted to the rigid structural member.
  • the protrusion extends inwardly into the panel receiving gasket a distance sufficient to intersect the plane of the panel in order that the panel may be substantially supported by the protrusion.
  • the principal object of the present invention is the provision of a new and improved panel mounting system which increases structural rigidity between building wall panels and the building itself.
  • Another object of the present invention is the provi sion of a new and improved panel mounting system which increases structural rigidity but does not increase the time and effort required in assembling the mounting system.
  • Yet another object of the present invention is the provision of a new and improved panel mounting system which is simple in design.
  • Still another object of the present invention is the provision of a new and improved panel mounting system which is easy to manufacture.

  • the intention is to present as much window panel area on wall 12 as is possible. It will also be appreciated that the number of mullion areas 16 required is independent of the particular dimensions of the building and window panels. Likewise, horizontally extending mullions 18 need not particularly coincide with floors 20,22 if a particular desired building design dictates otherwise.
  • the mounting systems for the outside edges of panels 10 are generally shown by numerals 24. It is to be understood that these systems may be of the type hereinafter described or of any other type generally associated with mounting window or construction panels in buildings and using elastomeric gasket members. The other mounting systems which may be associated with these edges do not form a part of the present invention and are, therefore, not specifically described herein. The subject invention is adaptable for use with any of the systems as will hereinafter become apparent.

It should be noted, and as best shown in FIG. 3, that side wall portions 92 slightly diverge from the bottom wall toward the open ends thereof which facilitates ease of panel mounting as will hereinafter be more fully described.
  • Each channel also includes an upper sealing lip 98 along the outer edge of side wall 92 and a lower sealing lip 100 along the outer edge of side wall 94. These sealing lips face inwardly into the channels toward each other. Sealing lips 98,100 aid in gripping the window panels when they are disposed in the panel receiving channels as will be hereinafter more fully de scribed.
  • a load bearing protrusion receiving channel or groove generally designated 110 extends inwardly into first portion 60 of the gasket from second portion 62 between tongues 66,68.
  • This channel includes spaced apart side walls 112, 114 and a radiused bottom wall 116, channel 110 being dimensioned to be closely received over protrusion 42 as shown in FIG. 2.
  • Disposed in outer wall 80 of first portion 60 are a pair oflongitudinally extending locking strip receiving grooves generally designated 120,122. It should be noted that these receiving grooves are disposed on each side of protrusion receiving channel 110 and facilitate selective resilient arcuate deformation on side walls 92 of the panel receiving grooves as is deemed to be conventional.
  • Conventional locking strips 124,126 are adapted to be closely received in locking strip receiving channels 120,122 for effecting positive sealing engagement of side walls 92 of the panel receiving channels with their respective panels 10.
  • window panels shown in the drawings are dual pane insulating type panels, the subject invention is readily adaptable to use with single pane window or other construction panels merely by altering the dimensions of receiving channels 88,90.

  • the arrangement shown in FIG. 2 is intended for use with only generally horizontally extending mullion areas 18 which require additional structural rigidity for supporting a plurality of vertically disposed coplanar construction panels.
  • Mullion structural members 30 may then be disposed to extend along floors one of 20,22 in a generally horizontal direction.
  • the mounting of rigid structural member 30 to the building structure itself is deemed to be conventional and is therefore not discussed in further detail.
  • Channel areas or reglets 50,52 in member 30 are disposed to open outwardly transverse of the plane of wall 12.
  • the gaskets are located relative to the reglet by inserting tongues 66,68 into reglets 50,52 so that protrusions on the tongues engage protrusions 54 in the reglets as is known. This engagement is best shown in FIG. 2 and, as may be seen therein, the upward directional protrusions 70 and the downward direction of protrusions 54 further enhance the relative gripping relationship between them.
