Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a glass curtain wall module.
  • glass curtain walls consist in the external cladding of a building and are constituted by modules which comprise glass panes which are fixed in various manners to a supporting structure.
  • the supporting structure is typically formed by metallic structural beams, which form a plurality of mutually parallel vertical uprights; brackets, for example of the cross-shaped type, are fixed to the uprights.
  • brackets have a number of supporting arms (generally four), each for contiguous portions of distinct glass panes, such as typically the corner regions.
  • Such spot connection means are constituted for example by a pad which is inserted and locked in a through hole formed in the glass pane; such pad can be of the fixed or articulated type.
  • Each glass pane with the spot connection means and the corresponding fixing pins applied thereto constitutes in practice a module of the glass curtain wall.
  • hanging or suspended glass curtain walls are typically subject to movements caused by static settling of the face and by the loads caused by wind and snow.
  • the spot connection means retain the corner regions of the glass panes that compose the glass curtain walls: such retention is performed at a through hole, which as is known is a feature which weakens the pane.
  • Such weak points can be particularly dangerous in the case of very high loads applied to the glass curtain walls (for example much stronger than average gusts of wind): in such situations, the glass panes in fact might be damaged at the locking holes, leading in an extreme case to the separation of the panes.
  • the aim of the present invention is to solve the above mentioned drawbacks linked to the strength of the fixing of modules of glass curtain walls to corresponding supporting structures.
  • an object of the present invention is to provide a glass curtain wall module which withstands the intense loads applied thereto, including dynamic ones, and at the same time is easy to fix to the corresponding supporting structure.
  • Another object of the present invention is to provide a glass curtain wall module which is constructively simple.
  • a glass curtain wall module characterized in that it comprises:
  • a first embodiment of a glass curtain wall module according to the invention is generally designated by the reference numeral 10.
  • Figure 1 illustrates schematically four contiguous modules at their corner regions.
  • Each glass curtain wall module 10 comprises a glass pane 11, in this embodiment a double-glazing pane (but it is possible to use equivalently a monolithic pane), supported along all of its upper and lower sides by two respective supporting bodies 12.
  • Each supporting body 12 is fixed to the internal face 13 of the glass pane 11 by interposing structural adhesive material, generally designated by the reference numeral 14; said structural adhesive material is preferably of the type used in fixing systems known by the French acronym VEC (Vitrages Extérieurs Collés), and is preferably of the silicone type (variations may include, for example, structural adhesive material of the polyurethane and/or epoxy type).
  • each supporting body 12 is a metallic profiled element which is longitudinally extended and runs along the entire length of the respective side of the glass pane 11 and has a flat face 15 for adhesion to said glass pane.
  • each supporting body 12 has a longitudinal rib 16, which is perpendicular to the flat face 15 and abuts against the respectively upper or lower edge of the glass pane 11, thus facilitating the placement of the supporting bodies with respect to said glass pane.
  • fixing elements 18 which are arranged at the corner regions of the glass pane 11.
  • the fixing elements 18 are constituted by threaded rods, which are rigidly coupled at one end to the supporting bodies 12 and are arranged in through holes which are provided in a plate 19 which forms the bracket 17 and are locked thereto by means of a coupling with two nuts 20 which clamp the plate 19 from opposite sides.
  • Figure 5 shows the bracket 17; the through holes of the plate 19 may also be slots (shown schematically in broken lines) to allow adjustment of the position of the modules.
  • the fixing elements 18 are rigidly coupled to the supporting bodies 12 by means of rotary articulation means 21.
  • the rotary articulation means 21 are constituted, in this first embodiment, by a spherical joint for each fixing element 18.
  • the spherical joint has a spherical head 22, which is formed at the end of the corresponding fixing element 18 and is arranged in a complementarily shaped seat 23 formed inside a corresponding end region of the corresponding supporting body 12.
  • the complementarily shaped seat 23 has a first substantially hemispherical part 23a, which is formed within the thickness of the supporting body 12, and a second part 23b, which is formed on the end face of a ring 24 for retaining the spherical head 22 in its seat; the ring 24 is screwed into a corresponding cylindrical receptacle, which is formed in the face of the supporting body 12 that lies opposite the face on which the structural adhesive material is provided.
  • the ring 24 is provided axially with a through hole 25 for the passage of the threaded rod which constitutes the corresponding fixing element 18; at the portion of the through hole 25 which relates to the end face of the ring 24 there is the second part 23b of the seat 23.
  • Figure 3 illustrates a second embodiment of the module described above.
  • each supporting body now designated by the reference numeral 112 is constituted in practice by a single metallic bar which has a quadrangular cross-section, to the end regions of which respective blocks 131 (only one is shown in Figure 3) are fixed by way of fixing means 130.
  • Similar seats 123 for the spherical heads 122 of the fixing elements 118 are formed in the blocks 131 and, as in the preceding example, are constituted by a first substantially hemispherical part 123a, which is obtained within the thickness of the corresponding block 131, and a second part 123b, which is formed on the end face of the ring 124 for retaining the spherical head 122 in its seat.
  • the fixing means 130 are constituted by a threaded pin-like portion 133, which is screwed into a corresponding complementarily shaped hole 135 formed in the supporting body 112.
  • each block 131 is cylindrical, with an axis which coincides with the axis of the pin-like portion 133 and with a diameter which is substantially equal to the width of the bar that constitutes the supporting body 112.
  • a portion 134a of an L-shaped element 134 is locked in a sandwich fashion between the blocks 131 and the metallic bar that constitutes the supporting body 112, and its perpendicular portion constitutes the longitudinal rib 116 (which is perpendicular to the flat face 115 of the supporting body 112 on which the structural adhesive material is provided), which acts as abutment for the glass pane 111.
  • the portion 134a of the L-shaped element 134 which is locked in a sandwich fashion has a through hole to allow the passage of the threaded pin-like portion 133.
  • Figure 4 illustrates a third embodiment of the module described above.
  • each supporting body now designated by the reference numeral 212, is constituted in practice by a single metallic bar which has a quadrangular cross-section and at the end regions of which respective blocks 231 (only one is shown in Figure 4) are fixed by way of fixing means 230.
  • the block 231 is a parallelepiped and the fixing means 230 are constituted by screws 233 which pass through said block and grip the supporting body 212.
  • Figure 6 illustrates a fourth embodiment of the glass curtain wall module.
  • the fixing elements now designated by the reference numeral 318, are rigidly coupled to the supporting bodies 312 by way of rotary articulation means 321.
  • the fixing elements are constituted by horizontal pins 350 which lie parallel to the flat extension of the glass panes 311 and protrude from a bracket 317 (shown in Figure 7) which is fixed to a supporting structure (not shown in the figures).
  • two pairs of pins 350 related to the coupling of the contiguous corner regions of four modules, protrude from the bracket 317, from opposite sides of a central plate 319; the upper pins retain the upper modules (for example the module of Figure 6) while the lower pins retain the lower modules.
  • the rotary articulation means 321 are constituted, in this embodiment, by an articulation about a single axis of rotation, in this example a substantially horizontal axis of rotation.
  • Each supporting body 312 is constituted in practice by a single metallic bar which has a quadrangular cross-section and to the end regions of which respective blocks 331 (only one is shown in Figure 6) are fixed by way of fixing means 330 (such as for example screws).
  • a seat 323 is provided in each block 331 and is open downward to rotationally accommodate the corresponding pin 350; in practice, the modules hang from the pins 350 by means of the blocks 331.
  • a portion 334a of an L-shaped element 134 is locked in a sandwich fashion between the blocks 331 and the metallic bar that constitutes the supporting body 312, and its perpendicular portion constitutes the longitudinal rib 316 (which is perpendicular to the flat face 315 of the supporting body 312 on which the structural adhesive material 314 is provided), which acts as abutment for the glass pane 311.
  • Figure 8 is a schematic rear head-on view of a module with supporting bodies 412 which are arranged along the mutually opposite vertical sides of the glass pane 411.
  • Figure 9 is a schematic rear head-on view of a module in which the supporting bodies 512 form a perimetric frame 512a (which is monolithic or constituted by mutually rigidly coupled elements) for the glass pane 511.
  • Figure 10 illustrates another embodiment, which relates in particular to the example of Figure 4.
  • This embodiment has the same structure as the example of Figure 4, but provides for the addition of a contrast plate 201, which locks in a sandwich fashion the glass pane 211 against the supporting body 212.
  • the contrast plate 201 in practice has a first flat portion 202, which is parallel to the flat face 215 of the supporting body 212, and a second flat portion 203, which is parallel to the longitudinal rib 216, so as to form in practice an L-shaped configuration together with the first flat portion 202, which protrudes up to the block 231; the second flat portion 203 is fixed to the block 231 (but it can be fixed, as an alternative, for example also to the metallic bar that composes the supporting body 212) for example by means of screws 204.
  • the present invention provides a structural glass curtain wall module which is particularly resistant to the loads to which it is subjected.
  • the particular structure of the module allows installation of the panes to be extremely simple.
  • the materials employed may be any according to requirements and to the state of the art.
