Definitions

  • the face panels are attached to the wall by way of profiled strips of synthetic resinous material which resiliently .clamp opposed edge portions of the face panels such that the face panels can move in a plane parallel to the wall surface while buckling is prevented during thermal expansion and contraction of the panels.
  • the profiled strips are fixedly attached to the wall by housing structures or underpinning members.
  • a single profiled strip is arranged for clamping adjacent edges of two panels.
  • the profiled strips include resilient arms or sidewalls which can move relative to one another to permit movement of the panels.
  • a planar guide surface of the housing or underpinning is arranged for sliding contact with the edge portions of the panels.
  • the edge portions of the panels are configured to interengage with corresponding structure of the profiled strips without the need for additional fasteners, or drilling, etc. in the panel structure.
  • the profiled clamping strips are provided along the vertical or the horizontal edges of the panels, with the other edges being sealed by overlapping sliding cover plates. Also, sealing covers are provided between the sidewalls of the profiled strips to seal and close off the interstices formed between the clamped edges.
  • This invention relates to a facing installation for a wall ofth'e type' including mounting elements to be attached to the wall for mounting face panels to the wall.
  • the mounting arrangement must be constructed in such a manner that the face panels may expand under the effect of heat without danger of undesirable stresses of deformations occurring within the face panels and associated mounting elements. Also, it is important that the joints or slots formed between the individual face panels are as leakproof as possible.
  • the face panels on the one hand,-ar'e retained safety and reliably, but wherein, on the other hand, there is also the possibility of thermal expansion without the production of leakage sites between the face panels and the mounting strips.
  • the present invention' comtemplates fashioning the face panels on at least two opposed edges in such a manner that they enter into a resilient clamping or force-fitting connection with correspondingly shaped parts of the mounting element, which latter is preferably provided in the form of a profiled strip of a synthetic resin.
  • the face panels are clamped at their edges in such a manner that a parallel displacement with respect to the surface of the facade is possible while a lifting off or buckling of the panels from the facade is effectively avoided under all circumstances.
  • the mutual coupling or locking members of the mounting element or strips and-of the face panels are in superposed engagement to clamp the face panels in position without the need for altering the panel shape either by drilling a bore therethrough or by any other fundamental operation.
  • An important feature contemplated by the present invention relates to the fact that the mounting element braces or clamps the face panels in the direction toward the wall, so that the individual face panels have sufficient support to hold them in position on the wall.
  • the face panels exhibit lateral webs on at least two rims or edges, which webs extend vertically to the surface of the facade.
  • the lateral webs in conjunction with the edges of the face panels, serve as resilient mounting portions, by means of which the desired elasticity is effected in pressing the face panels directly against the wall or against a corresponding support.
  • the lateral webs can each'form a" sidewall "of a U- shaped groove or channel, laterally adjoining the panel surface. This U-shaped groove forms a claw-shaped profile for engaging a corresponding counter clawshaped pro fileat the mounting element or mounting strip attached to the wall.

These side-walls are in superposed engagement, by means of outwardly oriented spring hooks or catches, with the lateral webs of the face panels.

  • the wall portions of the housing adjoining the slot serve as the supporting sections for the face panels. These wall portions are constructed so that it is ensured that a low amount of friction exists between the supporting section and the face panel to provide sufficient possibility for expansion.
  • the housing simultaneously affords protection for the mounting element.
  • the housing preferably consists of a rigid material, for example a metallic profile.
  • the face panels need to be affixed in one main direction to mounting elements, whereas the interstices or interspaces in the other main direction, at right angles to the former, are covered by cover strips.
  • the interspaces in the other main direction are preferably selected as not too small, so that also in this direction a change in length of the face panels can take place without resulting in strains in the material.
  • the cover strips preferably include a flexible film material adapting itself to the respective width of the interstice by deformation.
  • the cover strips include rigid plastic strips or strips of synthetic material, which are fixedly attached to the edge of one face panel whereas they cover the edge of the next adjacent face panel only loosely. The seal, formed by this last-mentioned cover strip is normally sufficient for sealing the interstices and the thermal expansion and/or shrinkage is permitted.
