  • the present invention relates to a support unit for supporting substantially flat panels for building continuous fa ⁇ ades.
  • the present invention relates to a support unit for supporting substantially flat panels for building continuous fa ⁇ ades, comprising a regulating device for adjusting the inclination of the panels relative to the uprights .
  • the continuous fa ⁇ ades are produced by coupling glass panels to a frame comprising a plurality of metallic uprights that are generally, although not necessarily, vertical. These panels are supported by the uprights by means of support units, comprising members generally called “spiders", which present as many arms as many panels each unit shall support. Therefore, based upon the project requirements, these spiders can comprise one or more arms, to each of which corresponds a respective panel, generally made of glass.
  • Example of support units provided with articulated spiders can be found in some patent documents, among which the German patent application No. DE 9302820 for utility model, wherein the support unit is shaped so that it can be coupled longitudinally to an upright in a respective longitudinal groove, and presents a pair of arms, each of which presents, in a respective free end, a member designed so as to support in an articulated manner a vertex portion of a panel.
  • This solution results to be improved by the teachings of the European patent application No.
  • EP 1589182 wherein a support unit is described, which can be coupled frontally to an upright and which is designed so as to support a splitted spider and provided with a pair of C- shaped members carried rotatable relative to an elongated member around a longitudinal axis of this member.
  • Each C- shaped member is provided with two arms, each presenting a free end designed so as to couple to a vertex portion of a panel.
  • Each spider therefore allows supporting up to four panels.
  • Each support unit is provided with a pair of longitudinal grooves, and each C-shaped member presents a substantially cylindrical central portion to couple one of these grooves.
  • each C-shaped member shall furthermore have an L-planform, and this complicates the shape of the mould.
  • These characteristics present some drawbacks, among which the poor accuracy of the coupling and the high production costs. This equipment is therefore poorly used for producing continuous fa ⁇ ades.
  • the problem of having available support units capable of presenting stiffness adequate for the connection of the support wings of the panels of a flat or facetted continuous fagade to the respective central bodies, and therefore capable of being used for constructing continuous fagades for very high buildings, represents an interesting challenge for the Applicant, in order to make the installation of continuous fagades safe and to allow the construction thereof with reduced costs, also in the case of panels with significant mass or in the case that the building comprising these panels are positioned in particularly windy places or places statistically affected by high winds.
  • the present invention relates to a support unit for supporting substantially flat panels.
  • the present invention relates to a support unit for supporting substantially flat panels for building continuous fagades.
  • the present invention relates to a support unit for supporting substantially flat panels for building continuous fagades, comprising a regulating device for adjusting the inclination of the panels relative to the uprights .
  • the object of the present invention is to provide a support unit for supporting continuous fagades, this unit allowing the disadvantages described above of the continuous fagades to be solved, and which is suitable to satisfy a plurality of requirements that to date have been solved in an unsatisfactory manner, and therefore suitable to represent a new and original source of economic interest and capable of modifying the current market of the continuous fagades .
  • a support unit is provided for continuous fagades, the main characteristics of this unit being described in at least one of the following claims .
  • FIG. 1 shows a schematic perspective view of a support unit for a continuous fagade according to the present invention
  • figure 2 is an exploded perspective view of figure 1 with some parts removed for the sake of clarity;
  • figure 3 is an exploded perspective view of figure 1;
  • FIG. 4 and 5 are plan views, in small scale, of figure 1, illustrated in small scale and with some parts removed for the sake of clarity in two distinct operative positions .
  • number 1 indicates, in its entirety, a support unit for a continuous fa ⁇ ade, known and therefore not illustrated, which can be validly used to define a closing wall of a side portion of a building.
  • Each fa ⁇ ade is provided with a plurality of uprights 10, each of which extends in a given direction D to support a plurality of panels, known and therefore not illustrated, by means of a plurality of units 1, each of which is coupled, in a known manner, to the respective upright 10 by means of a threaded coupling which provides for the use of a fixing plate to be housed inside a known front groove of the upright 10.
  • the upright 10 illustrated in figure 1 does not belong to the unit 1, and that it has been indicated with the reference number 10 only for the sake of completeness of the information, and for identifying easily the orientation in the given direction D, which is actually longitudinal considering the upright 10.
  • the support unit 1 is designed so as to support at least one panel, known and therefore not illustrated, by means of a coupling member 12, shaped so as to support in a hinged manner at least one interface member 122 around a pivot axis 14 associated laterally with the coupling member 12 and extending in the given direction D.
  • each coupling member 12 is provided with at least one arm 124, delimited by an end portion 126, designed to support a panel, known and therefore not shown.
  • Each support unit 1 can therefore coupled 1 to 4 panels, known and therefore not illustrated, to the respective upright 10.
  • the support unit 1 comprises a central body 16, provided with an housing 162 for the coupling member 12; this housing is shaped so as to guide the coupling member 12 parallel to the given direction D;
  • the central body 16 is furthermore provided with a regulating device 60, which allows to vary the position of the coupling member 12 along the given direction D.
  • the support unit 1 furthermore comprises a blocking device 40, designed so as to fix each interface member 122 in a rigid manner to the corresponding coupling member 12 according to a given angle ⁇ of inclination, visible only in figures 4 and 5.
  • This blocking device 40 comprises at least one plug 42 and a corresponding pair of first and second holes 44 and 46, respectively obtained in the coupling member 12 and in the interface member 122 hinged to it around the axis 14.
  • each plug 42 comprises an elongated body 42, which can be indifferently cylindrical or prismatic; in particular, the first and second holes 44 and 46 are substantially identical to each other and shaped in a conjugated manner to the relative plug 42.
  • the first and second holes 44 and 46 which can be coupled by a same plug 42, furthermore present respective first and second axes 45 and 47, arranged at a substantially identical height relative to the central body 16 and therefore relative also to the coupling member 12, so that they can be coupled to each other coaxially.
  • the regulating device 60 comprises a threaded through hole 62 parallel to the given direction D and obtained in the central body 16, in aerial communication with the housing 162. It should be noted that only the trace of the hole 62 is visible in figures 4 and 5, but the hole has been indicated also in figure 3, to better inform about the respective position of the central body 16. Furthermore, the regulating device 60 comprises a screw 64 housed in this threaded hole 62 and suitable to cooperate with the coupling member 12, so as to vary at will the position thereof relative to the central body 16 along the given direction D.
  • the support unit 1 comprises a fixing member 11, preferably a screw 11, carried by the central body 16, to clamp the coupling member 12 once the regulating device 60 has been calibrated, when, in use, the coupling member 12 has been positioned at will along the given direction D.
  • the coupling member 12 is coupled to the central body 16 by- means of a prismatic guide 166, comprising the housing 162 and a slit 168, obtained in the coupling member 12 and shaped as an upside-down U.
  • the coupling member 12 is laterally delimited by two elongated bodies 127, delimited externally by two substantially cylindrical surfaces 128 coaxial to a respective pivot axis 14 and parallel to the given direction D.
  • Each interface member 122 laterally presents a C-shaped seat 129 for lateral coupling with the elongated bodies 128.
  • at least one pivot pin 130 is provided so as to hinge each interface member 122 to the respective elongated body 128 around the pivot axis 14. This means that, if you want to minimise the mass of the support unit 1, it would be possible to replace the elongated body 128 with two pivot pins 130', without causing operation problems to the support unit 1.
  • each interface member 122 presents a flat face 125 between the respective arms 124; this face 125 is oriented so as to be constantly transverse to a plane centred on the corresponding axis 14, in order to facilitate the phase of drilling necessary to produce the holes 44 and 46.
  • the choice of delimiting the elongated body 127 with a cylindrical surface 128 aims at maximising the useful thickness, in which the second holes 46 are obtained, so that the connection between the respective interface member 122 and the coupling member 12 is able to support the loads transmitted transversally from the plug/plugs 42 to the coupling member 12.
  • each support unit 1 allows orienting the corresponding interface members 122, and therefore the corresponding panels, at will along an angle ⁇ of width approximating 120°.
  • each pair of holes 44 and 46 can be produced with an inclination definable at will at the order, or with a standard inclination, to obtain the result visible in figures SS and TT.
  • each support unit 1 produced according to the above illustrated teachings, allows to build continuous fa ⁇ ades 3, whose panels are arranged so as to define flat or facetted walls, and therefore to allow the engineers to produce architectonical effects currently impossible to be obtained with the support units known at the date of the registration of this patent application.
  • the use of the support unit 1 therefore allows to solve in an economical manner the technical problem described above.
  • the definition of the inclination angle of the interface members 122 can be extemporely defined during installation, for example to solve mistakes in the positioning of the uprights 10, wherein the drilling of the second holes 46 can be performed at the site or it is possible to communicate promptly to the producer the real width of the inclination angle ⁇ .
