Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a fastening method for panels with double sides, of the panel type or two sheets of glass are laminated (hereinafter laminated panel).
  • This type of panel is intended to be fixed on a support structure carrier to achieve facades or windows.
  • the two flanks are drilled and then assembled by gluing so that the laminated panel can be associated with the carrier structure on the place of installation, by a body of trade different from the one who carried out the operations on the glass.
  • the openings made in the flanks must therefore be exactly opposite each other, which implies a tolerance of adjustment necessarily very low and therefore a high accuracy in the drilling of the two sides of glass.
  • Patent application EP 0 955 437 discloses a method and a fixing device attempting to overcome these drawbacks by means of a ring making it possible to pierce only one of the two glass flanks. the other being pressed against the first.
  • the fixing of the laminated panel is by blocking the fastening system on the inner glass side, on which is plated and held by gluing the second sidewall.
  • the panel is exposed to significant risks of delamination of the laminated assembly, increased risks in double glazed configurations, given the weight of the glass panels.
  • the invention proposes a method and a device for fixing a panel, of the laminated glass type, on a support structure, requiring only one precise drilling and limiting the risk of delamination of the panel.
  • said clamping nut is embedded, when mounted, in said through opening made in the proximal flank.
  • the invention also relates to a construction kit comprising rigid panels and a device for fixing at least one rigid panel, such as a glass panel, of the laminated structure type and consisting of at least two sidewalls intended to be plated against each other and secured to one another, on a support structure, said device comprising an elongate fastening element whose distal end, so close to said panel, is associated, on the one hand clamping means comprising an annular abutment element adapted to cooperate with a complementary surface of a through opening substantially truncated cone provided in one of the flanks and with a nut clamping, and secondly to locking means of said elongate member on said panel, the proximal end of said elongate member comprising means for securing on said structure, characterized in that the frustoconical opening is made in the distal flank, and in that a through opening of diameter greater than that of the truncated cone opening is formed in the proximal flank, so that the clamping means are supported only on the
  • the clamping nut is embedded, when mounted, in the through opening formed in the proximal flank, while the height of the annular element is less than or equal to the total thickness of the two flanks.
  • the locking means comprise a holding body adapted to cooperate with the annular element.
  • the annular element is a ring comprising a plate adapted to cooperate with the complementary surface of the through opening substantially truncated cone.
  • the distal end of the elongate fastening element is in the form of a ball joint, the annular element and the holding body delimiting a housing adapted to immobilize the ball joint in translation.
  • proximal and distal describe an element respectively close and remote from the support structure, known in itself and not shown.
  • FIG. 1 is a cross section of a device implementing the method according to the invention, applied to a laminated glass panel comprising a first proximal flank 1 and a second distal flank 2.
  • the proximal flank 1 is plated and held against the distal flank 2 by any known means such as for example a bonding by means of one or more sheets of suitable material 3 placed at the contact surfaces 1b and 2a of the proximal and distal flanks .
  • a third glass flank 4 is associated with the surface 2b of the distal flank 2 by means of a sealing gasket 5.
  • This gasket 5 also acts as a spacer and holds the flank 4 away from the distal flank 2.
  • the structure thus obtained is that of a panel of the double glazing type.
  • the proximal flank 1 has an opening 6 of any shape, preferably circular seen in the direction perpendicular to the different flanks 1,2 and 4.
  • the distal flank 2 also has an opening 7, substantially circular, of smaller diameter than that of the opening 6 made in the proximal flank 1, and Z axis perpendicular to the sidewalls 1, 2 and 4.
  • the opening 7 comprises, seen in cross section, a first section substantially cylindrical and 7a Z axis, and a second substantially frustoconical section and the same axis as the first section 7a.
  • the opening 7 of the sidewall 2 must be made accurately since it determines the positioning of the panel relative to the carrier structure and other fasteners.
  • the axis of the opening 6, made in the sidewall 1, is parallel and very close to the axis Z, and preferably coincidental.
  • the device according to the invention comprises a fastening element 8 of elongate shape comprising a proximal end 9 provided with means such as threading over part of its length in order to be secured, by any known means and not shown, on the supporting structure.
  • the Z axis coincides with the axis of the fastening elements disposed on the supporting structure, facing said elongate element 8 and adapted to receive the proximal end 9.
  • the distal end 10 of the fixing element 8 has a spherical shape such as a ball joint, the end of which is associated with means of clamping comprising a ring 11 inserted in the openings 6 and 7 of the sidewalls 1 and 2.
  • Said ring 11 shown in detail on the cross section of FIG. 2, is of generally annular shape and has, in its distal portion, a base acting as a plate 11 a.
  • the plate 11a is perpendicular to the axis Z of the annular ring 11 and comprises, at the level of said Z axis, a projecting return 11b having a surface oriented towards the supporting structure of complementary shape to that of the ball 10 in order to keep it in position.
  • the annular ring 11 is composed, seen in cross section, of two distinct parts.
  • a first part 11c, at the level of the plate 11a, has substantially a truncated cone shape, complementary to the substantially frustoconical shape of the section 7b of the opening 7 made in the sidewall 2.
  • the portion 11 c of the annular ring 11 thus abuts against the section 7b of the opening 7 of the sidewall 2, the annular ring 11 thus being immobilized in translation perpendicularly and parallel to the axis Z.
  • the second part 11d of the annular ring 11 has a substantially cylindrical shape, threaded over a large part of the external surface and of diameter slightly smaller than that of the opening 7.
  • the inner surface 11 e of the annular ring 11 has a substantially cylindrical shape, concentric with the second portion 11 d of the outer surface of the annular ring 11.
  • This inner surface 11e is threaded over its entire length.
  • a circular groove 12 On the frustoconical portion 11c of the outer surface of the annular ring 11 is formed a circular groove 12, adapted to receive any sealing means 13 of known type, such as a butyl filling or a seal, to ensure sealing at the contact between the annular ring 11 and the sidewall 2.
  • Two blind holes 14a and 14b, axes parallel to the Z axis, are provided in the plate 11a to be able to insert any ad hoc tool necessary for the handling of the annular ring 11, as described below.
  • annular ring 11 has a maximum height less than the total thickness of the sidewalls 1, 2 pressed against each other.
  • the plate 11a once in place, is flush with the surface 2b of the sidewall 2 while the proximal face of the annular ring 11 does not protrude from the surface 1a of the sidewall 1.
  • a tightening nut 15 of substantially annular shape is inserted into the opening 6 of the sidewall 1 and screwed onto the part 11d of the outer surface of the annular ring 11.
  • the proximal face 15a of the nut 15 has two holes 16a and 16b, axes parallel to the axis Z, to allow clamping of the sidewall 2 between the nut 15 and the annular ring 11.
  • the support of the nut 15 on the proximal face 2a of the sidewall 2 is via a clamping washer 17, disposed on the periphery of the distal face 15b of the nut 15, and optionally immobilized by shoulder 15c.
  • the clamping washer 17 is made of any material that makes it possible not to alter the surface 2a of the glass flank 2, such as nylon (registered trademark) for example.
  • the clamping means consisting of the annular ring 11 and the clamping nut 15 and only on the distal side 2, bearing on the surfaces 2a and 2b.
  • the ball 10 is held in position by locking means comprising a holding body 18 of generally annular shape of axis parallel to the Z axis, substantially coincidental.
  • the inner surface 18a of the holding body 18, of substantially cylindrical shape, terminates in its proximal portion, that is to say opposite the return 11b of the plate 11a, by a slightly bowl shape, complementary to the shape spherical of the patella 10.
  • the holding body 18 has a threaded outer surface 18b which is screwed into the inner surface 11e of the annular ring 11, until the ball 10 abuts against the return 11b of the plate 11a.
  • the ball 10 is thus held in position in a housing formed by the "head-to-tail” assembly of the annular ring 11 and the holding body 18.
  • the proximal portion of the outer surface 18b of the holding body 18 is terminated by a crown 18c serving as a shoulder.
  • the ring gear 18c thus abuts against a support washer 19 having the shape of a disc in plan view, and whose outside diameter is such that the said support washer 19 is in contact with the periphery of the opening 6 of the sidewall 1, on the proximal face 1a.
  • Two holes are provided on the proximal face of the ring 18c to insert any tool for clamping the holding body 18 on the annular ring 11.
  • the elongate fastener 8 is first introduced through the holding body 18, passing the threaded portion 9 through the openings 6. and 7.
  • the bearing washer 19 is brought into abutment against the ring gear 18c and the assembly thus formed is screwed into the inner surface 11e of the annular ring 11, via the threaded outer surface 18b of the holding body 18.
  • the holding body 18 is thus tightened until the distal portion of the ball 10 comes into abutment against the complementary shape return 11b of the plate 11a of the annular ring 11.
  • the ball 10 is immobilized in translation and can only undergo rotational movements relative to the panel.
  • the panel provided with its fixing device, can then be secured to the support structure by virtue of the threaded end 9 of the elongated fastening element 8.
  • Figure 3 shows, in cross section, a second embodiment of the device according to the invention, also applied to a double glazed panel.
  • the main difference lies in the shape of the plate 11a of the annular ring 11.
  • the plate 11a has on its periphery, in this embodiment, a ring 11f bearing on the distal face 2b of the sidewall 2.
  • This ring 11f thus reinforces the abutment effect obtained by the complementarity of the shapes of the surfaces 7b of the opening 7 of the sidewall 2 and 11c of the annular ring 11.
  • the groove 12 provided on the annular ring 11 is at the junction of the surface 11c and the ring 11f.
  • the butyl filling 13 can be arranged at the connection of the surfaces 7b and 2b of the distal flank 2.
  • distal end 10 of the elongated fastening element 8 no longer has a substantially spherical shape such as a ball but is replaced by a substantially cylindrical portion 20 connected to the holding body 18 by semi-rigid elements 21 of shape substantially annular and known in themselves.
