Description

Facade shell for a building, which is formed from hinged plates lying one behind the other or one above the other, and plate for such a facade shell

The invention relates to a facade shell or a plate according to the preamble of claim 1, 13, 16, 18 or 20.

An existing facade shell can be arranged in the side area or also in the roof area of a building, whereby it can form the lateral outer surface or also a roof surface of the building. The facade shell can form the outer wall of the building in the sense of a single-shell design or it can be part of a double-shell outer wall of the building. A single-shell construction is conceivable for undemanding buildings where wind and rain protection is important, whereby the intensity of the ventilation can be adjusted by adjusting the panels. Double-shell facades are used for sophisticated buildings that serve the purpose of people, e.g. B. in high-rise buildings, if, despite extreme loads from wind and rain, targeted natural ventilation and temperature control of the rooms behind are required, as well as overheating of the facade space should be prevented.

The panels of an existing facade shell mostly consist of translucent material, especially glass. For subordinate purposes, e.g. B. for halls with high ventilation requirements, where lighting by daylight is not required, the plates can also consist of opaque material.

An existing facade shell has to meet a number of requirements. On the one hand, their parts should have a long service life and also guarantee trouble-free operation, since maintenance or repair in the facade area is complex and expensive. On the other hand, the facade shell should be sealed when its panels are closed in order to protect the rooms behind from rainwater, wind pressure, draft and cold or heat. Since the panels of the facade shell are a typical mass product, simple and inexpensive production and simple and quick assembly should also be ensured. If the

Plates consisting of an at least double-skin so-called insulating pane unit, care must also be taken to ensure a safe construction, in particular with regard to the outer pane of the insulating pane unit. A facade shell and an associated panel is described in WO 96/06258. In this known facade shell, the plates can be formed by double-shell insulating pane units, each of which is held in a holder which only holds the inner pane, the upper and lower edges of which are gripped behind. The outer pane is not specially held, but only glued. There is therefore a risk of accidents if the outer pane is detached. As can be seen from Fig. 11 of this document, the inner panes are each held in that claw-shaped retaining webs reach over and behind the inner pane, each enclosing a recess in a metal or plastic part which is embedded in the existing edge bond made of adhesive material is and is therefore a typical free-holding part, which keeps the recess required for the immersion of the holding webs free of the adhesive composite material between the panes. The holding bars are each provided with a rubber layer on the inside, which means that the inner pane is cushioned. Special sealing features for the plates in their closed position cannot be found in this document. Only on the lower edges of the outer panes, which overlap the lower outer pane, is a sealing strip arranged as a so-called driving rain seal, which overlaps the associated upper edge of the lower outer pane in the closed position of the plates. In this context, it should be pointed out that in this known embodiment the outer disks of the plates lie in one plane in their closed position without overlapping the lower outer disk in each case.

The invention has for its object to improve the panel sealing and / or bracket in a facade shell or in a plate for such a facade shell of the types specified.

This object is solved by the features of claim 1, 13, 16, 18 or 20.

In the embodiment according to the invention according to claim 1, the plates each have, at least at their upper and / or lower edge, a profiled strip which extends over the entire length of the edge and is arranged sunk into the plate on the narrow side and has a longitudinal groove which faces outwards is open. This longitudinal groove offers a good fastening possibility for a sealing profile or for holding elements for the plate itself and / or for add-on parts of the plate, which can be inserted and fastened into the longitudinal groove with a fastening leg. Since the longitudinal groove is continuous, it is available over its entire length holding elements engaging therein, wherein several holding elements can also be arranged one behind the other. Another advantage of the configuration according to the invention is that the profile strip to a substantial stabilization of the contributes to each plate. On the one hand, this is due to the fact that the profiled strip body stabilizes the plate due to its moment of resistance. In addition, the plate is on both sides of the longitudinal groove through the groove walls of the profile strip against direct pressure and clamping stresses of such holding elements, such as. B. retaining webs that border in the profile strips, largely exempt. This is particularly advantageous for those panels which are formed by double-shell insulating disk units. Here, the panes are not only protected from direct contact with retaining webs or the like by the profile strip groove walls, but the profile strips can also absorb a large part of the spreading forces caused by the presence of their groove walls

Try to spread the insulating washer unit, which cannot be ruled out when holding elements engage in the longitudinal grooves. Consequently, this configuration according to the invention is particularly suitable for plates formed by insulating disk units.

In the embodiment according to claim 13, securing devices are provided for the outer panes of the insulating pane units, each of which is formed by a retaining bracket which engages under or over and under the lower edge and / or the upper edge of the outer pane. This embodiment is characterized by particular simplicity, since the holding brackets are of simple and inexpensive construction and their fastening can also be carried out in a simple manner in the longitudinal groove of a profile strip on the narrow edge of the insulating pane unit. There is a correspondingly stable attachment of the retaining bracket, which can be easily and quickly assembled and disassembled if necessary. Another advantage of the retaining bracket according to the invention is that they can be carried out in a narrow design and therefore they hardly affect the exposure. Two retaining brackets arranged eccentrically or in the lateral end regions or an approximately centrally arranged retaining bracket which is elongated (anti-tip) along the edge of the pane can be provided on the outer shell.

In particular, if the panes of the insulating pane units are made of glass, contact of the panes with hard parts of the holder is to be avoided in order to avoid damage to the panes, e.g. B. flaking, especially in the edge area. In addition, hard compressive stresses on the insulating disc unit can impair its cavity seal, which would significantly impair the function of the insulating disc unit. In order to avoid this, in the known configuration described at the outset, the insulating disk units are mounted in their contact area on the brackets in a damped manner by rubber layers. This leads to the need for additional parts and their attachment, whereby the manufacturing cost is increased and the production is more expensive.

In the embodiment according to claim 16, the insulating washer units are each mounted between ends of holding webs which are directed towards one another and each of which enclose a hole in the compound and / or a profile strip embedded in the compound. The holes are at a distance from the inner pane and the ends of the retaining webs extend at least at the lower edge of the inner pane to the bottom of the hole designed as a blind hole. As a result, the insulating washer unit is cushioned "between tips" because the composite material is used as a damping agent. The same advantages are also achieved if the ends of the holding webs which are directed towards one another each fit into a hole in a profile strip embedded in the composite material Composite mass is also used as a damping means, since the profile strip is embedded in the composite mass, so no additional damping means are required in this embodiment according to the invention, and it is therefore characterized by particular simplicity and cost-effective manufacture and assembly.

In such cases, in which the space behind the facade shell is to be tightly closed when the insulating pane units are closed, the insulating pane units must be sealed both in the area between the insulating pane units arranged one above the other and at their lateral edges, and thus on the entire circumference of one by the insulating pane units formed field. Sealing at the lateral edges is problematic when the insulating washer units overlap one another in the closed state, since this overlap causes a stepped surface on the inside of the insulating washer units to be sealed. In order to seal this surface, brush-shaped sealing strands have already been proposed, the bristles of which can follow the step-shaped surface, but the sealing is thereby impaired.

In the embodiment according to the invention according to claim 18, sealing profile sections are arranged on the inside of the insulating washer units in the closed state on their stepped inner surface, which in the closed state of the insulating washer units result in a continuously stepped sealing strip against the inside of which a sawtooth-shaped sealing strip presses against the stepped shape. In the embodiment according to the invention there is no bending of the sealing profile, but this is done pressed together in parallel by the sealing strip, which ensures a good seal when the sealing profile is subjected to little stress.

The invention also relates to a panel according to claim 20 for a facade shell, wherein the advantages described above are also achieved. For reasons of simplification, these advantages are not described again.

The refinements according to the invention are suitable both for plates which perform a swiveling movement transversely to the outer shell when moving between the closed and open positions, and for plates which only rotate about an axis of rotation in a corresponding rotary bearing between their closed position and their open position be twisted. In the first-mentioned movement by swiveling, a small overall width is achieved in the closed position of the plates, which is generally desirable. When rotating the plates around an unchangeable axis of rotation, smaller drive forces are required, since the plates can remain stationary and these bearing forces do not have to be overcome but the plates only have to be rotated.

The invention and further advantages which can be achieved by it are explained in more detail below with the aid of preferred configurations and drawings. Show it

The facade shell 1 consists of a plurality of plates 2, which are preferably made of glass, for. B. scale glass, and which are arranged one behind the other in rows, five rows according to FIG. 1 and two rows according to FIG. 2 are present, with associated brackets 3, swivel guides 4 and a common drive 5 for at least part of the existing Plates mounted in a wall opening on support supports of a support structure (Fig. 1) or integrated in a support or support frame 6 consisting of vertical and horizontal support parts. 2, the carrier forms a prefabricated insert element 7 which can be installed in an outer wall structure which is constructed in the manner of a mullion / transom facade. The lattice-shaped vertical posts 8 and horizontal bars 9 each enclose an installation opening 11 into which an insert element 7 can be inserted and attached from the outside or the support arrangement can be mounted. A plurality of such installation openings 11 can be arranged side by side and / or one above the other, in which a support arrangement or an insert element 7 is mounted.

The support frame 6 of the insert element 7 consists of two lateral support frame parts 6a, 6b, a lower horizontal support frame part 6c and an upper horizontal support frame part 6d, which are each firmly connected to one another in the corner regions by a fastening device 10, preferably by

Corner bracket 6e (Fig. 6). In the outer area, the support frame 6 has a circumferential, z. B. consisting of a profile mounting flange 13 which bears against the outer edge of the installation opening 11, the horizontal and vertical mounting flange parts being screwed by means of clamping strips 14 placed from the outside against both the posts 8 present on both sides and optionally also horizontal bolts 9.

The plates 2 are also essentially identical to one another with their add-on parts to be described and in each case consist of a glass plate according to FIG. 1 and a double-shell insulating unit 15 made of glass, the inner pane of which is 16, Outer pane with 17, an interposed, glued spacer frame with 18 and a filler 19 filling and gluing the distance 19 between the disks 16, 17 outside the spacer frame 18 is designated. At the upper edge of the respective plate 2, the disks 16, 17 are flush with one another. At the lower edge, the outer pane 17 projects beyond

Inner pane 16 downward, overlapping the outer pane 17 of the lower insulating unit 15. As a result, the upper insulating unit 15 is offset with respect to the lower insulating unit 15 by the amount of the thickness of the outer pane 17 plus the thickness of a driving rain seal 22 to be described later. There is a vertical distance a of z between the lower edge 15a of the upper insulating unit 15 and the upper edge 15b of the lower insulating unit 15. B. about

15 mm.

In Fig. 1, an inner shell with a window of the double-skin building facade is shown with la, which can be optionally opened and closed, the plates 2 forming the outer shell 16.

On the outer circumference of the composite material 21 there is at least at the lower and / or upper edge, preferably all around, a cross-sectionally U-shaped or C-shaped profile strip 23, which delimits a groove 24 that is open to the outside, and at least partially sunk into the composite material 21 and is embedded. In the corner areas, the profile bar 23, z. B. mitred and optionally connected to a supporting frame, or it can be arranged on each side a single profile strip 23 which abut each other in the corner area. The groove 24 is preferably undercut, in particular on both sides. In the present embodiment, on the free edge of the side walls 24a, 24b, webs 24c are provided which protrude toward one another, by which the undercut is formed. To improve the stability, it is advantageous to arrange the profiled strip 23 in such a way that it at least partially covers the inner pane 16, as a result of which the fastening of the profiled strip 23 is stabilized due to the considerably greater strength of the inner pane 16 in comparison with the lower strength of the composite material 21 and forces acting on the profile strip 23 to a greater extent via the inner pane

16 can be placed on the insulating unit 15. In the present embodiment, a flat profile leg 24d extends from the free edge of the side wall 24a facing the inner pane 16 at right angles to the panes 16, 17, which lies against the outer edge of the inner pane 16 and at least partially covers it, e.g. B. about half or whole. In the present exemplary embodiment, the inner pane 16 is formed by a so-called composite pane in the sense of a double pane. For further stabilization, a small web can be placed on the inside of the profile leg 24d 24e can be arranged, which dips into the composite material 21 and thus stabilizes the connection with the composite material 21 by additional embedding.

The groove 24 can advantageously be used for positioning and holding a sealing profile and / or holding elements for the panes 16, 17, in particular for the outer pane 17. In order to have several fastening options or locations available, it is advantageous to arrange a profiled strip 23 which has two grooves arranged next to one another. In the present embodiment, the bottom wall 24f of the profile strip 23 is extended towards the outside, and is followed by an additional side wall 24g which may be arranged at an angle, whereby the second groove 25 is formed. This is preferably also cut on one or both sides behind, which is achieved in the present case by an inwardly projecting web 24h on the free edge of the side wall 24g.

The profile strip 23 is of identical design with respect to all the insulation units 15, but there is a horizontal offset between the associated profile strips 23 in the area of the gap 26 between two insulation units 15 arranged one above the other due to the overlap.

The mutually identical brackets 3 for the plates 2 each comprise at least two pivot brackets or holding arms 27 arranged in the lateral end regions of the plate 2 and under the plate 2, on which two pairs overlapping and engaging behind and below the lower and upper edge of the plate 2 Claw-shaped holding webs 28a, 28b are arranged, at least one of which, here the overlapping holding web 28a, is detachably connected to the holding arm 27. The

Holding ends of the holding webs 28a, 28b engage behind the inner pane 16 at a distance b, wherein they engage on the inside of the profiled strip 23 in a receiving hole 29 in the composite material 21, which, for. B. can be milled. If a profile leg 24d is present, the receiving hole 29 also extends through this, whereby it can also be milled out here. For retaining webs 28a, 28b flat cross-sectional shape, as shown, it is advantageous to design the receiving holes 29 accordingly, for. B. in the form of elongated holes. Because of the distance b and the composite material 21 present between the respective holding web 28a, 28b and the inner pane 16, the latter is protected from the direct attack of the holding webs and is elastically damped, the being between the inner pane 16 and the

Receiving hole 29 composite material 21 proves to be a damping element.

A damped mounting is preferably also provided in the vertical direction, ie with respect to the transversely arranged retaining web legs 28c, 28d. In the present Design, this is achieved in that the depth c of the receiving holes 29 is dimensioned smaller than the associated length of the holding webs 28a, 28b, so that their mutually facing ends abut at least below the bottom of the receiving hole 29 and thereby the insulating unit 15 as "between tips "are also kept damped and the upper edges of the inner disks 16 are at a distance d from the holding web legs 28c, 28d. In the case of plates 2 of greater horizontal length, more than two holding arms 27, each having a horizontal distance from one another, can be arranged.

The plates 2 can be pivoted with the swivel device 4 between the closed position shown in FIG. 2 and the open position shown in FIG. 3 and can be locked in the respective swivel position. The swivel device 4 comprises for each plate 2 a swivel guide, consisting of a first joint 32, which is arranged between the upper or inner end of the holding arm 27 and a slide 33, which is in an approximately vertical guide 34 on a vertical support, preferably in Form of a support profile 35, approximately vertically displaceably mounted and driven by a drive, not shown in detail. In addition, the holding arm 27 is pivotally mounted in a second joint 36 in the pivoting plane, which pivotally connects the holding arm 27 to a support arm 37 which is pivotable at its other end in a third joint 38 in the pivoting plane

Support profile 35 is mounted. The pivot guide for the lower plate 2 is also designed accordingly, the first joint 32 being arranged lower on the associated slide 33 in accordance with the height difference than the first joint 32 of the upper plate 2. If more than two plates 2 are arranged one above the other, the pivot guide is accordingly, the slider 33 being longer. In the other end region of the plates 2, the swivel guide is designed accordingly, a second guide 34 being provided on a second support post for that slide 33, the support posts 35 preferably being arranged uniformly or symmetrically in the region of the existing opening width.

The pivoting device 4 is designed so that the plates 2 are in front of the outside of the support frame 6 when pivoting into the open position. Since in this design the panels 2 do not move into the interior space surrounded by the supporting frame 6, the inner and outer shells can be closer together, and the facade shell can therefore only have a small overall depth.

If the plates 2 are formed by insulating units 15, it is advantageous to also provide a holder 3a for the outer pane 17 in order to prevent the outer pane 17 from falling off when it detaches from the bond with the inner pane should. In the present embodiment, at least two additional, the lower edge and / or upper edge of the outer pane 17 under or overlapping and engaging retaining webs 38a, 38b are provided, which are each arranged in the lateral end regions of the outer pane 17 and in a groove Profile strip 23, here the second groove 25, are enclosed and fastened, preferably by locking by means of a locking snase 39a, 39b which locks behind the web 24h. As can best be seen from FIG. 5, the holding webs 38a, 38b are each arranged in an angular manner on the outer pane 17 under or overlapping holding legs 38c, wherein they are U-shaped in the below-engaging holding web 38a with an upwardly extending holding shaft 38d , at the free end of which a foot piece 38e is arranged with a detent snase 39b projecting therefrom. In the overlapping retaining webs 38b, the latching lug 39a projects transversely from the retaining leg 38c. 3, 6 and 7 in particular, the retaining brackets 40a, 40b described so far are arranged in the lateral end regions of the plates 2, wherein they are preferably offset horizontally in the plane of the plates 2, so that the size of the gap is taken into account in the overlap area between the outer disks 17, the double thickness of the holding brackets 40a, 40b does not have to be taken into account and the gap can be kept small.

For additional or sole securing or fastening of the holding brackets 40a, 40b in the groove 25, a screw S can be provided in each case, which penetrates the holding web 38c or the foot piece 38e transversely and at least into the profile strip 23, which is preferably made of metal, or also into the Composite material 21 is screwed. Such a screw S is illustrated in Fig. 5 by a center line and a small screw head hint.

It is also advantageous to dimension the legs or sections of the holding brackets 40a, 40b so long that between them and the outer pane 17, here at least between the holding webs 38a, 38b, the holding legs 38c and the holding shafts 38d and the associated outer pane 17 there is a vertical or horizontal distance which frees the outer pane 17 from pressure loads. It is only when the outer pane 17 is released from its adhesive bond and falls into the claw-shaped holding webs 38a that there is contact between these parts. In the normal state, there is no need for any contact between the holding brackets 40a, 40b and the outer pane 17, since these are merely securing parts.

For an existing facade shell 1, the plates 2 of which in the closed position are intended to close the space behind the shell formed in this way as tightly as possible different sealing zones essential. A first sealing zone is arranged in the gap area between two plates 2 arranged one above the other. A second sealing zone is present in the lateral edge area of the plates 2, different sealing configurations being able to be implemented depending on the design of the sealing in the first or in the second zone. In the area of the gap 26, the seal z. B. done by a single sealing profile that extends in the longitudinal direction of the disc edges and is attached to the edge of one of the two discs, or two sealing profiles can be provided, one of which is attached to the edge of the associated disc and by mutual pressure perform their sealing function.

In the above-described configuration of the plates 2 with a groove 24, which extends at least at the upper and / or lower edge 15a, 15b of the respective plate 2, it had been shown that it is particularly suitable for holding a sealing profile in that a on the sealing profile arranged profile section is inserted and fastened in the groove 24, for. B. by gluing, clamping or positive locking. The two last-mentioned fastening features are not absolutely necessary if the sealing profile is held in its working position in a different way, e.g. B. in that it is arranged circumferentially and is arranged due to its surrounding form-fitting in the preferably also circumferentially formed as an annular groove 24.

For the aforementioned reasons, only one sealing profile 41 is required to seal the gaps 26, which in the present embodiment is designed with a flat cross section, but could also have a different cross-sectional shape, e.g. B. a round cross-sectional shape. On the contact side 42 of the sealing profile 41, a fastening strip 43 is formed, which fits into the groove 24 and can be locked therein, preferably with a mushroom-shaped cross-sectional shape. Already a sealing profile 41 described so far can, alone or with a corresponding sealing profile 41 arranged on the opposite edge of the other plate, bring about a satisfactory sealing of the gap 26 if the respective cross-sectional sizes are dimensioned so large that the individual sealing profile 41 with the opposite edge or two Sealing profiles 41 cooperate in a sealing manner. The seal can also be effected by a sealing lip 44, which takes over the sealing function in the sense described above. There with one

Depending on the wind direction of the building, pressure or suction effects are to be expected, it is advantageous to form the seal in the gap 26 with two sealing lips, which are arranged one after the other in the passage direction of the gap and one of which has a sealing lip 44 with one facing outwards Counter-sealing surface 46 and the other sealing lip 44 cooperate with an inward-facing counter-sealing surface 47. As a result, the seal is improved because the first-mentioned sealing lip 44 lies against the counter-sealing surface 46 in the case of pressure effects and brings about a good seal, while the second sealing lip 44 brings about this sealing in the event of a suction effect.

It is furthermore advantageous to arrange the sealing lip 44 on the base profile 41a carrying it at a distance e from a side surface, here from the first counter-sealing surface 46, which corresponds approximately to the offset v by which the upper and lower insulating units 15 are each transverse the discs are offset. This leads to the advantage that when two identical sealing profiles 41 are arranged at the upper and lower edge in the gap 26, one sealing lip 44 with the side surface of the opposite basic profile 41a as a pressure seal and the other sealing lip 44 with the opposite basic profile 41a and its inwardly directed side surface , here the counter sealing surface 47, can function as a suction seal. Because of the identity and the reverse arrangement of the sealing profiles 41, an excellent seal with two sealing functions can thus be achieved in a simple and inexpensive manner.

In addition, it is advantageous to form the sealing profile 41 around the associated plate 2 and thus in an annular manner. As a result, the fastening of the sealing profile 41 is stabilized on the one hand due to the ring and also fixed in the circumferential direction, so that no further measures for securing the sealing profile 41 are required. This also applies to such a present embodiment, in which the base profile 41a, which is preferably in the form of a flat or square tube, is connected on one side or here only at one end to the fastening strip 43, while the remaining section of the base profile 41a is connected to the peripheral surface of the associated one Plate 2 rests. This system is guaranteed due to the ring shape.

In the present embodiment, there is a small gap between the two base profiles 41a lying opposite one another in the gap 26, as shown in FIG. 5.

To seal the vertical edge regions of the panels 2, a vertical sealing strip 48 (FIGS. 4 to 6) is arranged in each of the two lateral end regions of the facade shell 1, the outward-facing end face of which is sawtooth-shaped following the inner surfaces of the panels 2 arranged one above the other and the respective offset , with the saw tooth shape predetermined outward projection decreases with increasing height. To improve the seal, it is advantageous the sealing strip 48 is assigned an upright sealing strip 49 which runs between it and the plates 2 and improves the sealing. In the present embodiment, this sealing strip 49 is formed from vertical sections of a sealing profile, which is preferably the sealing profile 41, the sections resting on the inner sides on the narrow-side circumference of the insulating disk units 15. In this case, the base profile 41a of the sealing profile 41 is of an angular shape with a sealing leg 41b which lies against the narrow circumferential surface, preferably a flat tubular sealing leg, and a sealing leg 41c which engages behind the inside of the plate 2 and which lies against the inside and is preferably designed as a separate cavity is also tubular, in particular in the form of a flat tube. Due to the ring shape of the sealing profile 41, vertical and horizontal sections of the sealing leg 41c result at the lateral and horizontal edges of the respective plate 2.

The sealing strip 48 is arranged in the region of the vertical sections of the sealing limbs 41c arranged one above the other, which interacts with the sealing side surfaces 48a of the sealing strip and the section of the sealing limb 41b arranged therebetween with the sealing step surface 48b. If the associated sealing lip 44 is present, this fits into the vertical chain of the

Sealing strip sections, in which case the sealing strip 48 each has a sealing mold surface 48c, here an inclined surface, which is adapted to the shape of the sealing lip 44. On the opposite side of the facade shell 1, a second sealing strip 48 with such a sealing tape 49 is correspondingly arranged and formed in mirror image.

As shown in FIG. 2 in particular, the upper edge of the top plate or insulation unit 15 and the bottom edge of the bottom plate 2 or insulation unit 15 are each sealed by means of a horizontally extending sealing strip 50a, 50b, which is connected to the sealing leg 41b or 41c cooperate and against which the plate presses with these sealing profile sections.

Consequently, the space located behind the facade shell 1 is sealed by two lateral, essentially vertical sealing strands 51 and in the area of each column 26 by at least one, here two horizontal sealing strands 52.

In order to protect the gap from driving rain, a horizontal, preferably tubular sealing profile 53 is provided as driving rain seal in the overlap area between the outer panes 17, which is preferably on the upper edge of the inner one The outer pane 17 is arranged and fastened, for. B. by gluing. In the present embodiment, this sealing profile 53 has a base body 53a which bears on the broad side of the outer pane 17 and a base body leg 53b which overlaps the outer pane 17. The thickness of the sealing profile 53 is larger than the thickness of the holding webs 38a, 38b or their sections passing through the sealing profile 53, so that the horizontal distance at this point between the outer disks 17 and the holding webs 38a, 38b can be maintained. In the areas in which the holding webs 38a, 38b are located, the sealing profile 53 is cut out in a corresponding shape and size. This also applies to the legs 41b, 41c of the sealing profile 41 with respect to the holding webs 28a, 28b.

As can be seen in particular from FIG. 6, the sealing strips 48 are each located in the region of an inner wall 12a of a box section 12 forming the associated vertical support frame part 6a, the outer wall 12b of the box section 12 projecting outward beyond the inner wall 12a, so that the facade shell 1 between

Outer walls 12b of the side support parts 6a are arranged. There is a free space 54 between the side edges of the plates 2 and the outer wall 12b, in which the vertical section of the sealing profile 41 projects with the associated section of the sealing lip 44.

On the lateral edges of the plates 2, here the insulating units 15, a further sealing profile 55 is fastened, which cooperates in a sealing manner with the inner surface 12c of the outer wall 12b, which extends so far outwards that the sealing profile 55 comes into contact with at least in the closed position of the inner surface 12c. The sealing profile 55 is held with a fastening strip 55a in a holding profile 56, which is fastened or preferably latched with a supporting leg 56a resting on the outer surface of the associated outer pane 17 and a holding leg 56b which engages the edge of the outer pane 17 and engages angularly in the second groove 25.

As shown in FIG. 4, two support profiles 35 are located at an end distance from the side support parts 6a of the insert element 7, on each of which a slide 33 is guided in a vertically displaceable manner and is connected in an articulated manner to the holding arms 27. The number of support supports or support profiles 35 depends on the horizontal length of the support or insert element 7 or support frame 6. At their upper and lower ends, the support supports 35 are also connected to the horizontal support parts 6c, 6d by the fastening devices 10. In the exemplary embodiment according to FIG. 3, only one plate 2 or insulating unit 15 is arranged in each horizontally extending row, with z. B. connects an outer shell made of insulating glass 57. In the supporting frame of the invention it is possible to arrange a plurality of plates 2 or insulating units 15 in a horizontal row next to one another and to form one

Summarize movement unit, with all plates 2 or insulating units 15 of the unit being swung out and in simultaneously. The side joints of such adjacent plates 2 or insulating units 15 can be sealed by means of sealing means such as seals or a silicone seal. With such a configuration, the vertical sealing strands 51 are also required

Sealing strips 48 also only in the lateral end areas. It is advantageous to arrange at least one, here the two sealing profiles 41 around all the plates 2 or insulating units 15 of the movement unit 15. In such an embodiment, the sealing profiles each surround a row of the plates 2 or insulating units 15. This is also possible with an existing, prefabricated insert frame 7 if it is longer than a plate 2 or insulating unit 15, so that several plates 2 or insulating units 15 are each arranged in a row and can form a movement unit, the plates 2 or insulating units 15 of the or each row being surrounded by a sealing profile 41.

The horizontal length of the movement unit can extend over several posts 8. In the presence of a support frame 6 according to FIGS. 2 and 4, the movement unit can also extend horizontally beyond the horizontal length of the support frame 6 or extend over a plurality of support frames 6 arranged horizontally next to one another. In this case, the lateral support parts 6a, 6b are dimensioned so narrow on their outer edges that the plates 2 or the movement unit can extend laterally beyond the support parts 6a, 6b. In the support frame of the invention, a drive 5 can be assigned to the brackets 3 of each support frame as a common drive, or it is also possible to assign a common drive 5 to a plurality of horizontal support frames 6 arranged next to one another.

The exemplary embodiment according to FIG. 10, in which the same or comparable parts are provided with the same reference numerals, differ from the exemplary embodiments according to FIGS. 2 to 6 in that the plates 2 do not show through

Double panes, but by a simple pane, in particular made of glass, e.g. B. scale glass are formed. In this case, the plates 2 can be gripped under or overlapped with their angular holding webs, as can be seen in FIG. 10 of WO 96/06258 and described at the beginning. With such simple Plates 2 can have a sealing profile corresponding to the sealing profile 41 according to FIGS. 5 and 6 with a profile leg 41b resting on the narrow side of the respective plate 2 and a profile leg 41c resting on the inside edge and in contrast to the exemplary embodiment according to FIGS. 5 and 6 attached in another way, e.g. B. by gluing, the fastening web 24 can be omitted. As in the embodiment according to FIGS. 6 to 8, a sawtooth-shaped sealing strip 48 can also be provided in the lateral end regions of the support frame 6, preferably in or on the side support parts 6a, 6b, in the embodiment according to FIG on the stacked plates 2 existing sealing profiles 41 cooperates sealingly, as shown in FIG. 6 and has been described in associated description parts. As in the previously described exemplary embodiments of the support frame 6, the carrier parts 6a to 6d also have an inwardly projecting fastening web 6f on their inner edges, which, for. B. can be angular with a leg pointing to the center of the supporting frame and the fastening by means of not shown, the fastening web 6f in particular positive overlapping and engaging fastening elements with the posts 8 and 9 bars. The width g of the support parts or of the support frame, which extends transversely to the support frame level, corresponds approximately to the width h of the posts 8 and transoms 9.

The exemplary embodiment according to FIG. 12, in which the same or comparable parts are likewise provided with the same reference symbols, differs from the exemplary embodiments according to FIGS. 2 and 10 in several respects.

On the one hand, the inner shell 1 a is connected to the inner edges of the carrier parts 6a to 6d and fastened thereto, preferably exclusively fastened thereon.

In addition, a light or sun protection 61 is integrated in the support frame 6 between the outer shell 1b and the inner shell la, which in the present exemplary embodiment is formed by a lowerable and extendable curtain 61a, which consists of slats 61b or which are arranged one above the other and can be pivoted about a horizontal axis a film or a cloth is formed and can be lowered and pulled open by a not shown, motor or manually drivable, from inside accessible adjustment mechanism, as is known per se in blinds. The light or sun protection 61 is fastened to the upper support frame part 6d by an upper support beam 61c. In order to enlarge the vertical opening dimension, the support beam 61c is preferably arranged, at least partially sunk at least partially into the upper support frame part 6d in a recess 6g. Furthermore, the carrier parts 6a to 6d are thermally separated in a web composite construction in the form of an inner and outer shell 6x, 6y, which will be described further below.

The inner shell la can be designed in different ways. You can e.g. B. by a lightweight wall, in particular in double-shell and thermally insulated construction, by fixed glazing, in particular with insulating glass consisting of several panes (Fig. 14 to 16) or by a window without or with a swivel wing, such, generally with lc designated wall can correspond to the horizontal and vertical dimensions of the support frame 6 or can be divided into vertical wall strips lcl, lc2, each of which can extend from a side support frame part 6a or 6b to a support bracket 35 or from one to the adjacent support bracket 35. The wall lc or the wall parts lcl, lc2 are each fastened by strip-shaped holding frame parts 62 which extend horizontally and vertically on their peripheries and are each fastened to the associated support frame part 6a to 6d of the support frame 6, preferably integrally formed thereon.

For manufacturing reasons and for reasons of cost, it is advantageous to form the carrier parts 6a to 6d by means of profile bars. Taking into account the preferably one-piece molding of the holding frame parts 62 and / or taking into account the thermally separated connection method, simple and rational, and inexpensive production or prefabrication of the carrier parts 6a to 6d and holding frame parts 62 can be achieved in this way.

12 shows an upper support frame part 6d and the fastening of a wall 1c or a wall part 1cl to the support frame part 6d in vertical cross section. The carrier parts 6a to 6d can be formed in one piece with respect to their width g directed transversely to the support frame plane, as shown in FIG. 12 or in several parts and z. B. be composed of several profiles that are attached to each other, for. B. are positively pushed into each other, as z. B. Fig. 6 shows in the central region of the side support frame part 6a here, which is z. B. is not a thermally separated profile. The configuration according to FIG. 12, on the other hand, shows a composite construction of the support frame part 6d with thermal separation. The support frame part 6d or the associated profile rod consists of the inner shell 6x and the outer shell 6y, which in a known manner by webs 6z reduced thermal conductivity, z. B. are connected from plastic. This type of connection can also be realized in a manner known per se in the prefabrication of the profiles, so that they now have to be cut to length. The middle of the Thermal separation is illustrated for the entire support frame 6 including the inner shell la by a dividing line TL. If the support frame 6 is formed with a mounting flange 13, it is advantageous to include the mounting flange 13 in the thermal separation, as shown, wherein its inner shell part 13a is integrally connected to the outer shell 6x of the supporting frame part 6d.

The associated horizontal holding frame part 62, here upper, is preferably also included in the thermal separation, and is therefore divided by two profile sections 62x, 62y, the first part of the inner shell 6x and the latter part of the outer shell 6y. In the present embodiment, the profile sections 62x, 62y are at a distance from one another. The inner profile section 62x serves to support and hold the wall lc, while the outer profile section 62y serves to fasten a clamping strip 63 which bears against the inside of the edge of the wall part and is screwed to the outer profile section 62y by means of a screw 64, preferably on the outside from the Screw a support web 65 is arranged between the profile section 6x and the terminal block 63, which in the present embodiment is a separate web. A so-called screw channel 66 in the form of a groove in the profile section 62x, which extends here along the upper support part 6d or holding frame part 62, is preferably provided for the engagement. Between the wall 1c and the profile section 62y on the one hand and the clamping strip 63 on the other hand, sealing profiles 67, 68 are preferably arranged, which are each held in particular with a mushroom-shaped fastening strip in an undercut groove in the facing end face of the profile section 62y and the clamping strip 63. The terminal block 63 forms a separate counterpart of the holding frame part 62 or 62y if it is a thermally separated profile. Due to the overlapping and behind the wall lc with the screw 64 and the clamping part 63, the wall lc is dimensioned smaller by the dimension h than the supporting frame 6 or the associated support parts 6a to 6d.

A thermal separation of the terminal block 63 is predetermined by its distance. In addition, the shafts of the screws 64 can be made of heat-insulating material such as plastic.

The lower support part 6c arranged at the bottom and the holding frame part 62 arranged at the bottom are correspondingly mirror images. This also applies to the two vertical support parts 6a, 6b and the holding frame parts 62 extending thereon. For reasons of simplification, a corresponding description for the other support parts 6a to 6c and the associated holding frame parts 62 can be omitted. In the embodiment according to FIG. 12, the wall 1c is formed at least in the upper region by a window with a window frame, a casement frame and a pane which is preferably designed as an insulation unit. Only the upper window frame spar 69 and the upper wing spar 71 and the pane 72 are shown. The window frame is z. B. tapered mounting flange 73 held on the holding frame parts 62. The window frame and the casement frame also consist of thermally separated profiles in composite construction, as the drawing clearly shows. The relevant inner and outer shells are designated 69x, 69y, 71x, 71y and 73x, 73y.

The embodiment according to FIG. 13 shows a fastening detail in the case in which one or more support supports 35, which extend from the lower to the upper support part 6c, 6d and are fastened thereon, when the support supports 35 in (in the present exemplary embodiment two pieces) the attachment of at least one or two adjacent wall parts lcl, lc2 is or are included. In this embodiment, a vertical support frame part 62 is formed on both sides of the support bracket 35, which is also formed by a profiled rod, which in the present exemplary embodiment project laterally from the support bracket 35, and to which the wall parts lcl, lc2 can be fastened, for. B. by means of a vertical, the edge of one or both wall parts lcl, lc2 overlapping terminal block 63 which is screwed against the support bracket 35 (not shown) or connected by a stretch connection. In the embodiment shown, the right-hand wall part lcl is formed by a window, the support bracket 35, together with the vertical holding frame part 62 and / or with a preferably tapered holding frame web 35a projecting inward between the wall parts lcl, lc2, forming a vertical spar 69 of a window frame, on which the vertical wing spar 71 of an associated window wing finds a stop. The left-hand wall part lc2 is a pane 72 of fixed glazing in the form of an insulation unit, which is provided on the support bracket 35 on this side, e.g. B. arranged in mirror image or shaped

Holding frame part 62 abuts and is supported on its inside by a terminal block 63 in the form of a glass retaining bar 74 which, for. B. positively attached to the holding frame web 35a, z. B. is locked. The holding frame web 35a is preferably thermally separated in the usual and already described composite construction with connecting webs 6z from the base body of the support bracket 35, see the thermal dividing line TL. In this case there are two holding frame web parts, which are designated as parts of the inner and outer shell with 35ax and 35ay. In the exemplary embodiment according to FIG. 14, two wall parts lcl, lc2 each formed by fixed glazing are present, and are supported on two vertical holding frame parts 62 which project inwards on the end face and which can be designed in an angular manner with legs directed towards one another, as a result of which they form an undercut vertical fastening groove 75 in which the head of a

Tensioning screw 64 is seated, by means of which a clamping strip 63 is screwed through a nut 64a against the mutually facing edges of the wall parts lcl, lc2. In this exemplary embodiment, too, sealing profiles 67, 68 can be arranged between the wall parts lcl, lc2 and the holding frame parts 62 and the clamping strip 63, which can enclose with fastening strips in undercut fastening grooves (not shown) in the contact surfaces of the holding frame parts 62 and the clamping strip 63. In this embodiment, at least the screw shaft made of a heat-insulating material, for. As plastic, exist, whereby a thermal separation is achieved in addition to the distance between the terminal block 63.

A similar embodiment is provided in the exemplary embodiment according to FIGS. 15 and 16, but a vertical fastening web 35b with a screw channel 66 for a screw 64 is provided between the holding frame parts 62 of the support bracket 35, with which one overlapping both edges of the wall parts lcl, lc2 Terminal block 63 is screwed. In this embodiment, the left wall part lc2 is formed by fixed glazing, while the right wall part lcl is formed by a window, the vertical window frame spar 69 of which is held between the associated holding frame part 62 and the terminal strip 63. A corresponding embodiment is shown in mirror image in FIG. 16. 63a denotes a cover strip 63a for the terminal strip 63, which can be detachably latched to the terminal strip with fork-shaped legs that cross the terminal strip.

15 and 16, the respective support 35 forms a vertical guide 76 for the curtain 61a of the light or sun protection 61, which in these two exemplary embodiments has pivotable slats 61b which are connected to one another and pivotable by vertical bands 61c are. In the exemplary embodiment according to FIG. 15, the guide 76 is formed by a vertical guide groove 77, the horizontal length of the curtain 61a being dimensioned so large that the curtain 61a dips into the guide groove 77 with play. A correspondingly designed guide groove 77 is provided for a curtain 61a provided on the other side of the support bracket 35, as a result of which the support bracket 35 is given a tailored cross-sectional shape. This configuration and arrangement leads to a further advantage. Due to the immersion of the curtain in the preferably square guide groove 77, a vertical gap between the curtain 61a and the Support bracket 35 avoided, through which light rays could get inward, and thus complete shading of the interior is achieved by overlapping by an overlap between the curtain 61a and the support bracket 35. The horizontal width of the guide groove 77 is dimensioned so large in the presence of pivotable lamellae 61b that the lamellae can engage in it in their horizontal position with play. A corresponding configuration with a vertical guide groove 77 is also provided on the inner sides of the side support parts 6a, 6b.

In the exemplary embodiment according to FIG. 16, a preferably undercut guide groove 78 is likewise arranged on both sides in the support bracket 35, a guide pin 79 projecting horizontally on both sides of the curtain 61a, in particular at its lower end, in the plane of the curtain, which protrudes into the associated one Guide groove 78 surrounds and is guided therein. The guide pin 79 can have a mushroom-shaped head, with which it engages behind the undercut guide groove 78, whereby an unwanted emergence of the guide pin 79 from the guide groove 78, z. B. is prevented when the curtain 61a bends under wind pressure. In order to avoid wear of the guide pin 79 during vertical displacement, 81 vertical receiving grooves 82 can be arranged in the undercuts of the respective guide groove 78 forming guide webs, in which guide bands made of guide-friendly material, eg. B. made of soft material such as plastic or rubber, which protect the guide pin 79 or a shaft from wear and also allow low-noise displacement. In order to prevent the guide bands 83 from migrating out of the receiving grooves 82, these can have an undercut shape which is undercut by the guide bands 83.

In the context of the invention, it is possible to form the support frame 6 at the installation point in that the support parts 6a to 6d on the reveal walls of an installation opening, for. B. on the building wall itself or on a supporting structure with vertical posts 8 and 9 horizontal bars. Thereafter, the support supports 35, the adjustment or pivoting devices 4 and the flaps 2 forming the outer shell 1b can be installed. In addition, the inner shell la can be mounted on the carrier parts 6a to 6d or the support frame 6 on the inside. With this arrangement, no corner fastening of the support parts to one another is required, since the support arrangement (support structure, building) gives the support frame 6 the stability.

It is particularly advantageous to make the support frame 6 stable in itself, so that it with its associated holding elements for the plates 2 and the wall parts 1c can be prefabricated at its place of manufacture (workshop) or at the construction site and the unit which has been prefabricated so far can be assembled on the building. In particular, if the plates 2 and the wall parts 1c are made of glass, they can be reassembled. In the present exemplary embodiment, the inherently stable design of the support frame 6 is ensured by fastening the support parts 6a to 6d at their mutually facing ends. This is achieved by the corner bracket 6e, with which the carrier parts 6a to 6d are connected, for. B. by screws 6s (Fig 6). It is particularly advantageous to form the carrier parts 6a to 6d so that the legs of the corner brackets 6e are held in a form-fitting manner on the carrier parts 6a to 6d. This can be achieved in particular in the case of support parts formed by profile rods by in particular internal profile grooves 6h, to the dimensions of which the legs of the corner brackets 6e are adapted, and thus fit positively therein.

In a variant of the invention, the holding frame parts 62 for the inner shell la are also integrally formed on the carrier parts 6a to 6d. However, these are carrier parts 6a to 6d, which do not extend to the inner shell la in the transverse plane of the supporting frame, but are narrower, and which can each be fastened as individual parts to the supporting structure or to the building itself. In this embodiment, the carrier parts 6a to 6d and the holding frame parts 62 can be produced and prefabricated simultaneously, in particular as profile bars. No special assembly of the holding frame parts 62 is then required at the construction site, but only the support parts 6a to 6d. Therefore, both the manufacture and the assembly are significantly simplified, whereby the manufacturing costs can be reduced considerably. In the manner described above, combined support frame parts 6a to 6d and support frame parts 62 can, for. B. in a construction according to FIG. 1, in which a stable, prefabricated support frame 6 is not provided.

However, it is possible within the scope of the invention to design the above-described narrow support parts 6a to 6d, which do not extend from the inner shell la to the outer shell ld, with or without the integrally formed holding frame parts 62 as a stable supporting frame 6. The inherent stability can be achieved by fastening devices 10 with which these narrow support parts are connected to one another in their mutually facing end regions, for. B. by means of corner brackets 6g, as has been described for the narrow support frame according to FIGS. 2 to 10, which supports or carries only the outer shell 1b.

In the case of a narrow and inherently stable supporting frame that supports or supports only the inner shell la, the various advantages with respect to the inner shell la can be achieved. It is also possible within the scope of the invention to provide the facade shell 1 according to the invention in the area of the entire building facade or to provide it only in one or more partial areas of the building facade. The latter show z. 1 to 4 and 10 and 11, in which the facade shell according to the invention is provided only in a partial area of the building facade, namely in the area of a supporting frame 6, the horizontal and vertical outer dimensions of which take into account a mounting game on horizontal and vertical dimensions of the installation opening 11 are adapted in the mullion / transom construction or in a building. The vertical dimension can correspond to the floor height or floor height of the building.

The embodiment of FIG. 1, in which the same or comparable parts are provided with the same reference numerals, differs from the embodiment of FIG. 11 in principle only in that the horizontal and vertical support parts 6a, 6b, 6c, 6d, which are also present, do not have one Fastening device 10 are connected to a stable frame or support, but the support parts 6a to 6d can be attached to the concrete or the masonry of the building or to a post / transom construction and thus maintain stability directly via these parts of the building. For the one or more support supports 35, on the other hand, their lower and upper ends need to be fastened to the lower and upper horizontal support parts 6c, 6d in each case by a fastening device 10. Otherwise, the support parts 6a to 6d and the support supports 35 are also shown in FIG. 1 formed in one piece with the integrally formed holder frame parts 62 of the inner shell la. In addition, the inner shell la is connected to the outer shell 16 by the carrier parts 6a to 6d and is thereby supported. 1, light or sun protection 61 is also provided.

Within the scope of the invention it is possible to arrange horizontal auxiliary bars 9a on the upper and lower edge of a wall part 1c of the inner shell la or between two wall parts arranged one above the other (in FIG. 1 a window and window glazing), which cross-sectional size can be made smaller. The holding frame parts 62 can be formed on both the upper and lower support parts 6c, 6d or the normal bolts 9 or on the auxiliary bolts 9a.

In the above-described configurations, the support parts 6a to 6d can also be formed by the mullion / transom construction (8, 9).
