Definitions

  • the present invention relates to the sector of dividing walls and in particular relates to a system for making an at least partially closed environment, for example a box or the like, using panes of glass, panels or the like.
  • the walls are made of glass it is necessary for the walls to be arranged in a perfectly vertical position. This often is problematic because the floor may have depressions or areas which are slightly higher than the rest of the floor.
  • EP 1 630 312 A1 discloses a connector for panel walls or the like of wood, pressing chip, hard fiber or other materials, such as are used, for example, in the construction of measuring stands.
  • GB 2 305 205 A discloses a combined double glazing spacer and mounting section.
  • DE 10 2005 027528 A1 discloses a wall system for exhibition booths.
  • the system comprises multiple intrinsically rigid wall elements that are magnetically joined together at vertical frame legs.
  • the aim of the Applicant is to provide a novel system for making an environment which is at least partially closed using panels or panes, which is practical, solid, reliable and is able to overcome at least some of the aforementioned problems.
  • the Applicant has noticed that the solution described in EP 1 630 312 A1 does not allow to create a solid base arranged horizontally with respect to the surface where the structure has to be mounted.
  • the Applicant has noted that the solution disclosed in EP 1 630 312 A1 provides for support points and does not provide a base structure which forms a closed loop or an open loop.
  • a lower plate which is shaped as a closed loop or an open loop.
  • the language "closed loop” will indicate that the lower plate is loop closed and that neither a starting point nor an end point can be identified.
  • a closed loop shape is a circular shape, an oval shape, an elliptic shape, a square shape, a rectangular shape, or the shape of any polygon (either regular or not).
  • the language "open loop” will indicate that the lower plate forms a closed loop except for an open length.
  • Such an open length has a length which is lower than half of the base perimeter. Preferably, it is lower than 40%, more preferably lower than 30%, more preferably lower than 20% and still more preferably, lower than 10%.
  • the base plate according to the present invention is very stable and it can be arranged perfectly horizontal in a practical and efficient manner.
  • an installer can regulate the height through the pin-like members, in particular on those which are adjustable heightwise simply by a screwdriver or an hexagonal key or any other similar tool.
  • the installer can start to regulate the height of the pin-like members clockwise or anticlockwise and then make the further regulations up to the starting point.
  • the base plate can also be moved fromj a point to another point of a certain environment (for instance in case there is a change of layout).
  • the installer and/or the designer has the possibility to decide where an opening should be provided.
  • fixed pin-like members Preferably, there are provided fixed pin-like members. They preferably provide alignment means but they do not operate as supporting means. In other words, the panels preferably are supported on the base plate and not on the top ends of the pin-like members.
  • the present invention relates to a system for making an at least partially closed environment using a plurality of panels, the system comprising:
  • said rotation means comprise, on the top of said first and second pin-like members, an incision (shaped as a blade head or cross head) for a screwdriver or with a hexagonal socket for a hexagonal key (such as a Allen key).
  • an incision shaped as a blade head or cross head
  • a hexagonal socket for a hexagonal key (such as a Allen key).
  • said pin-like stability and alignment members comprise first and second threaded pins and said lower plate comprises through-holes suitable for receiving said first and second threaded pins, wherein said first threaded pins have a thread which allows screwing of said first pins so that they project also partly downwards, and wherein said second threaded pins have a thread which allows them to be screwed so that they do not project downwards, the upwardly projecting ends at least of said second pins forming a discrete alignment element.
  • the lower plate preferably comprises separate modular sections joinable together to form said lower plate which is shaped in a closed loop or an open loop.
  • the adjacent separate sections of lower plate are joinable together with a key which is configured to engage a recess of a plate section and a recess of the adjacent plate section.
  • Each of said panels may comprise two individual panes and a perimetral frame.
  • the two individual panes are arranged facing one another and define, together with said perimetral frame, a closed chamber.
  • connection means for connecting said panels at the top comprise an upper plate in one piece or formed by separate modular sections joinable together to form a closed-loop or an open-loop upper plate.
  • the adjacent sections of upper plate are joinable with a key which is configured to engage a recess of a plate section and a recess of the adjacent plate section.
  • the upper plate comprises slots, each slot comprising an enlarged part and a straight part of smaller width than the enlarged part.
  • At least two of said panels may comprise a profile comprising an upper groove for receiving and holding a pane.
  • the system may further comprise a clamp for joining a panel with an adjacent panel, wherein said clamp comprises two retaining members and a connecting pin for connecting together said two retaining members, wherein said retaining members are partially or completely recessed in said panels.
  • an at least partially closed environment made using a system of the aforementioned type.
  • a lower plate, two or more panels supported by the lower plate and upper connection means for connecting two or more panels at the top are provided.
  • the upper connection means comprise an upper plate connected to the panels.
  • the panels are joined together by means of a clamp.
  • the lower plate may be formed by a single plate shaped in a closed loop (for example in the form of a rectangle, a circle, an ellipse or the like) or in an open loop (for example C, U or L shaped).
  • the lower plate comprises two or more modules which can be connected together in a permanent or removable manner.
  • modules which are identical to each other are provided.
  • modules of at least two types are provided so as to form a closed-loop or open-loop plate.
  • the linear module 11 could have a length of 100 cm and the curved module 12 a radius of about 100 cm.
  • the lower plate 10 could have a width of a few centimetres, for example 5-13 cm or more, for instance 5-10 cm.
  • the lower plate 10 could be advantageously made of iron, steel, aluminium, thermoplastic material, reinforced (for instance by fibers) composite material or metal alloys.
  • the lower plate 10 comprises a plurality of holes 13.
  • Figure 4 shows a cross-section along an axis of a hole 13 in the lower plate (11 or 12).
  • the holes 13 are equidistant. For example, they may be at a few centimetres distance from each other.
  • the holes 13 have a diameter of a few millimetres, for example 10-15 mm and are threaded.
  • they are through-holes as shown in Figure 4 .
  • Threaded pins 15, 16 are screwed inside at least a part of the holes.
  • Figures 5 and 6 show, respectively, an adjustable pin 15 and a fixed pin 16.
  • the adjustable pin 15 has a flat, wide, washer-like, bottom head 151 and a top end with an incision 152 for a screwdriver or with a hexagonal socket for a hexagonal key (such as an Allen key) or the like.
  • a hexagonal key such as an Allen key
  • the washer head 151 projects downwards and correspondingly raises the lower plate 11, 12. This condition is visible in Figure 7.2 .
  • This functional feature is particular advantageous since it allows adjustments to be made for small differences in height of the floor. In this way, the lower plate is extremely stable. If instead the floor is perfectly flat ( Figure 7.1 ), the pins 15, 16 project upwards by the same height.
  • the fixed pin 16 also has an end with an incision 162 for a screwdriver or with a hexagonal socket for a hexagonal key (such as an Allen key) or the like.
  • the incision (or hexagonal socket) 162 allows the fixed pin 16 to be screwed in position.
  • the length of the thread 163 is chosen so as to cause penetration of the fixed pin 16 inside the respective hole 13 only by the desired amount, so as not to project downwards.
  • the projecting part of the fixed pins 16 and of the adjustable pins 15 has the same length.
  • the ends of the pins 15, 16 lie in a same plane.
  • This condition is obtained using any known means, for example by means of a laser instrument.
  • the same laser instrument may be used to check that, after the adjustments performed with the adjustable pins 15, the fixed pins 16 lie in a perfectly horizontal plane.
  • the fixed pins 16 (and in certain cases at least some of the adjustable pins 15) form a centring and alignment member which is discrete, i.e. not continuous, but formed by a plurality of aligned single support pins.
  • the centring and alignment member overall is configured to centre and align one or more panes or sheets. Owing to the levelling action performed by means of the adjustable pins (which function as adjustable feet), the panels 20 are supported so as to be perfectly horizontal.
  • the panels 20 are configured so as to cooperate with the pins 15, 16 of the lower plate 10.
  • Each panel 20 comprises a lower profile 40 or a perimetral frame 30 shaped so as to cooperate with said pins 15, 16.
  • Panel comprising a double-glazing pane
  • Figure 8 shows, cross-sectioned, a double-glazing pane according to an embodiment of the present invention.

  • the frame 30 comprises a central body 32, a salt-containing compartment 34 and an outer engaging channel 38.
  • the central body 32 defines the distance between the two single glass panes and comprises two surfaces 33 for gluing two corresponding strips of the inner side 21i, 22i of the two single glass panes 21, 22.
  • each of the gluing surfaces 33 may have a width of a few centimetres (for example 2-5 cm).
  • the frame 30 comprises an internal compartment 34 containing dehydrating salts.
  • the salt-containing compartment 34 is preferably formed by two parallel flanges 36 configured to retain a strip of dehydrating salts 35 to prevent the formation of condensation. If the double-glazing unit of the present invention is to be used in internal environments, the salts may not be provided. However, they prevent the formation of condensation for example owing to a difference in temperature between the two single glass panes.

  • the channel 38 is an outwardly open channel and has preferably a roughly rectangular cross-section.
  • the outward opening 381 is partially closed by two teeth 382 which reduce the opening 381 of the channel 38.
