Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a wall resistant to fire with at least one fire-resistant glazing, which is directly joined by its end faces to a face of a neighboring wall part, forming a narrow joint, and which is fixed with fasteners arranged on support arms and passing through holes in the fire-resistant glazing.
  • the mass arranged between the various panes of fire-resistant glazing laminated and teeming in the event of a fire forms a heat shield, which greatly reduces transmission heat through the firebreak glass.
  • the glass exposed to fire in the stack of glass breaks as a rule under the action of thermal stresses that appear.
  • the window opposite to fire is on the contrary much less heated and reaches temperatures of around 180 ° C at maximum. It basically retains its flat shape and expands in any case in its plan under the action of the heat.
  • these known laminated glazings with abundant intermediate layers, we cannot happen to firewall bulges only if the windows are fixedly assembled to the support by fasteners, and that the support and the glass expand very differently in case of fire. To prevent such a situation, the arms support bearing fasteners are attached to the holder so that it can slide along of the support, so as to avoid the bulging of windows.
  • a fire-resistant element for closing a room of this known type is relatively expensive, due to the complicated structure of laminated fire-resistant glazing, which have a heat shield between the panes effective in abundant material.
  • the object of the invention is to develop a fire-resistant wall of the type mentioned in the introduction, in which we can use simpler fire-resistant glazing.
  • the fire-resistant wall according to the invention is characterized in that the fire-resistant glazing is a pane without abundant intermediate layer, and in that the fasteners are attached to the arms of mobile support as they follow glass bulges occurring in the event of fire.
  • the fixing devices and / or their means fasteners have, in accordance with the invention, a deformable structure and they adapt to the variation of position of the glass, due to the bulging, at the point of respective fixing.
  • the fire-resistant glazing can be a monolithic glass, which must be constituted in such a way that in case on the one hand it does not break under the action of the constraints that appear and other apart it has a softening temperature high enough not to emerge from its support.
  • thermal prestressed windows with the properties of single sheet safety glass.
  • panes with properties such as those described in patent DE 19710289 C1 for this use.
  • glazing fire-resistant laminated glass consisting of two thermal or pre-stressed windows partial thermal and intermediate layers usual, not serving as a heat shield.
  • the window is for example only fixed in the corners by occasional supports, it may suffice, for small formats, that point supports securely prestressed with the glass are provided with a ball joint or are attached to a joint to a ball joint, which allows a pivoting movement of the point support in any direction.
  • point supports securely prestressed with the glass are provided with a ball joint or are attached to a joint to a ball joint, which allows a pivoting movement of the point support in any direction.
  • these intermediate fixing must be carried out in such a way that they are supported in a mobile way to some extent in the direction perpendicular to the face of the glass, these being in besides preferably pivotally supported.
  • the materials filling the joints between the end faces of glass and neighboring parts of walls heat-resistant materials which deform or expand in such a way that the joints are moving and in some cases widening as a result of the bulging glass remain tightly closed during the fire resistance of the glass.
  • rubbers with crosslinking silicone at high temperature with a Shore A hardness from 40 to 60, as well as cords profiles composed of or using materials abundant under the effect of heat, namely especially salts, which form under the effect of heat from readily volatile materials such as water vapor, ammonia, carbon dioxide, etc., are well suited for this use.
  • Use such materials as well as certain glues becoming high temperature ceramics for sealing joints in fire-resistant walls is in principle known.
  • silicone sealing profiles which are firmly glued to one side, heat resistant, the end face of a window and rest on the side opposite, only by form and strength, to the face end of the neighboring wall part, and slide along of this face, while remaining hermetically applied, during the window bending operation, also work well.
  • a substantially square fire-resistant glazing 1 is arranged in the corresponding window bay of a fire-resistant wall element 2.
  • the face of internal limitation of the window opening, i.e. the window frame 3 forms a flat face and does not has no frame structure for housing the fire-resistant glazing 1.
  • the end faces 4 of the glazing firebreaks 1 rather end at a distance A of window sash and form a groove, which is filled with a fire resistant sealant.
  • the fire-resistant glazing 1 is a fire-resistant monolithic glazing, of the fire resistance class G according to standard DIN 4102, respectively ISO / DIS 834-1.
  • it may be a window with thermal preload in conventional float glass.
  • glasses having an increased softening point compared to the usual float glass of the order of 800 ° C, a coefficient of thermal expansion ⁇ 20-300 from 6.5 to 7.5.10 -6 .K -1 and a thermal stress factor ⁇ from 0.6 to 0.7 N / (mm 2 .K).
  • Glasses of this nature offer the advantage on the one hand that they have a longer duration of resistance to fire test, because of their higher softening point, but on the other hand that they can be prestressed with the usual prestressing systems, so that they also have, in the prestressed state, the properties of a usual safety glass with a single sheet in addition to their particular suitability in the event of fire.
  • glasses can also be used with other compositions for this use insofar as they have a softening temperature of an appropriate value.
  • the window 1 is provided with a hole 6.
  • a device for tightening 7 This basically includes a plate clamp 8 and a clamping plate inner 9, which are pressed against each other at by means of a screw 10.
  • the intermediate layers elastic between the clamping plates and the glass obviously consist of non-combustible materials heat resistant, for example intermediate layers of silicone rubbers hardly flammable are very suitable.
  • To the inner clamping plate 9 is assembled a bucket of the ball joint 11, in which the ball joint 12.
  • Ball joint 12 is arranged at the end of a threaded rod 13, which in turn is rigidly attached to the support arm 15 using the two nuts 14.
  • the arm support 15 is fixed to the wall element 2 by support legs 16.
  • clamping fixture 7 Since the clamping fixture 7 is supported by means of the ball joint 11, 12, it can, in the case of a bulging of the window 1, rotate by a certain angle in all directions, in such a way that no additional bending effort important is not transmitted to the glass on this occasion by the clamping fixture.
  • a profiled bead 18 made of a material abundant under the effect heat is placed between the sealing compounds silicone 17. At temperatures at which the glass bomb, the profiled cord 18 abounds and thus ensures a sufficient sealing against flaring 3 in case of change of position of the edge of the window.
  • FIGs 3 and 4 is shown a glass wall large area inside a construction of wall 20 which surrounds it.
  • the glass wall is formed by two fire-resistant panes 21, 22, which are arranged edge to edge at the distance of a joint from one another.
  • the two panes 21, 22 are held exclusively by clamping devices 7, 24, which correspond to clamping devices described in relation to the figure 2.
  • the clamping devices 7 arranged in the angles of the panes 21, 22 are each supported in such a way so that they can only execute one movement pivoting
  • the clamping devices 24 arranged at the middle of the panes are designed so that they may perform an additional movement in the direction perpendicular to the glass.
  • the bolts 26 connected to the ball 25 are, as in Figure 4 shows it, supported so as to slide in guide cylinders 27.
  • Guide cylinders 27 are rigidly arranged on a support arm 28.
  • Au support arm 28 is assembled, via a connecting piece 29, a sliding ring 30 which can slide in axial direction along the support cylindrical 31. In this way, we can take into account of different thermal expansions of the support 31 and windows.
  • the support 31 is fixed to the construction of wall 20 by consoles 32.
  • the joint between the end faces opposite to each other two panes 21 and 22 is closed by a seal at silicone 35 suitable.
  • a fire resistant wall with multiple glazing fire barrier for example in a corresponding arrangement in Figure 3 of two panes arranged edge to edge one against the other, to support the windows with point fixings only along the edges arranged one against the other, but to insert them, known manner, in a usual frame structure the along the edges joined to the wall construction, by ad hoc fixings.
