Definitions

  • the first fitting member comprises a profile member having an externally open recess for a first downwards extending wall portion from the bottom side of the lower horizontal hollow profile of the facade member and an internal groove for receiving a second downwards extending wall portion from said bottom side, the height of the first downwards projecting wall portion being bigger than that of the second downwards extending wall portion, such that said positioning of the facade member may be carried out through a tilting movement of the facade member after placement of the first downwards extending wall portion in said recess to bring the second downwards extending wall portion into supporting abutment against the bottom of said internal groove.
  • said upper horizontal hollow profile of the facade member is provided at its top side with an upwards opening groove of a preferably dovetailed cross section
  • said second and third fitting members comprise a screw or bolt member for screwing into a bore at said ceiling portion and a locking fitting retained in longitudinally displaceable relationship with said groove and having a substantially horizontal wall portion, in which a groove is provided having an opening at a side edge of said wall portion for engaging a shaft portion of said screw or bolt member in an untightened condition thereof, the bottom of said groove being displaced relative in the displacement direction of the locking fitting, such that the locking fitting by said longitudinal displacement with respect to said opening may be brought into a retained engagement with the screw or bolt member prior to tightening of the holder.
  • the invention also relates to a method for mounting a building facade member of the type stated over an opening in a building facade by use of a set of mounting fittings as defined.
  • a preferred embodiment of the method stated is characterized in that the groove in the substantially horizontal wall portion of said locking fitting is brought into engagement with said shaft portion of the second fitting member designed as a screw or bolt member, following which the screw or bolt member is tightened relative to the ceiling portion of the facade opening.
  • fittings For the mounting of such a building facade member conventional fittings may be used which comprise flat bars 15 and 16 fastened to the spandrel portion 11 of the facade opening and to the lower horizontal hollow profile 3 of the building facade member, respectively, and L-shaped angle-fittings 17 and 18 fastened to the ceiling portion 12 of the facade opening 10 and to the upper horizontal hollow profile 2 of the building facade member 1.
  • Fig. 2 shows in a simple and schematic design a possible embodiment of a building facade member 19 according to the invention with an upper horizontal hollow profile 21 and a lower horizontal hollow profile 22, which together with side profiles (not shown) encase a pane portion 20 which may be retained in conventionally designed recesses 23 and 24.
  • the method of mounting the facade member shown in tfig. 2 in the facade opening shown thus comprises an initial mounting of the profiled rail member 28 and the screw 35 in the spandrel and ceiling portions 31 and 34 of the facade opening and mounting of the longitudinal locking fitting 40 in the groove 39 in the upper horizontal profile of the facade member 19, such that all three fitting members of the set of mounting fittings have been mounted prior to commencing of the handling of the facade member 19.
  • a compensation for irregularities in the facade opening may be performed by an adjustment by means of one or more adjusting members 33 of the design shown in Fig. 4.
  • the brick-shaped adjusting member 33 which may be manufactured by moulding or punching from a suitable metal or plastics material, for instance nylon, may be designed as a comparatively flat disc-shaped member with an open recess 47 corresponding to the shaft diameter of the screw or bolt together with which the adjusting member is to be used, and with a projecting catch member 48 facilitating correct insertion of the adjusting member 33.
  • the catch member 48 may at the mounting advantageously be turned to be positioned in parallel with the longitudinal direction of the hollow profile 51 or be provided opposite its free end with a weakening line 80 to be broken off after its insertion.
  • the desired adjustment may be effected by the use of a suitable number of adjustment members 33.
  • the adjusting member 33 may have a wedge-shaped cross section, such that two members which may be provided with engagement means on their surfaces may be pushed together from opposite sides to obtain an controllable adjustment height.
  • the first fitting member of the set of fittings designed as an elongate profiled rail member 58 comprises a substantially plane wall portion 60 for abutment against the spandrel portion 59 of the facade opening, possibly through one or more adjusting members 33, and a wall portion 61 projection upwards therefrom and having a hook-shaped, bent edge portion 62, which may be introduced in the uttermost groove 55 in the bottom side of the lower horizontal profile 52 of the locking member 49.
  • edge portion 62 At its free edge the edge portion 62 is provided with a recess 63 serving as abutment for an external, open edge portion 64, which is formed by the L-shaped wall portion 53, for the groove 55.
  • the second fitting member of the set of mounting fittings may like in the embodiment in Fig. 2 comprise a screw 67 for mounting in a wall peg in a bore in the ceiling portion 68 of the facade opening.
  • the third fitting member designed as a locking fitting may be designed in the same manner as shown in Fig. 3 suited for longitudinal and fixed mounting in the middle groove 56 of the three grooves 55 - 57 at the top side of the upper profile 51 of the facade member 49.
  • the method for mounting the facade member 49 in Fig. 5 is, as far as the positioning of the lower horizontal profile 52 of the facade member 49 is concerned, substantially identical with the one described above in respect of the embodiment in Fig. 2, such as will be seen from Fig. 7, which describes a) - e) various phases of the mounting process.
  • the invention is not limited to the embodiment shown of the hollow profiles and the fitting members, but may within the scopes of the succeeding claims be used in connection with hollow profiles of arbitrary cross sectional profiles.
  • the first fitting member of the set of mounting fittings does not necessarily have to be designed as a through-going profiled rail member, though this will normally be preferred.
  • the number of the second and third fitting members may be varied according to the size of the actual facade member.
