The gallery comprises window frames which are fitted between the upper side of the parapet and the ceiling and have bottom-hinged windows which can tilt about a horizontal pivot axis. Acting on the bottom-hinged windows are drive devices which can move the windows between a closed position and an open position. There is a control device for the drive devices, to which control device there is connected a fire or smoke sensor, the control device being designed such that it activates the drive means in order to move the bottom-hinged window into the open position when fire or smoke is detected.

Description

The invention relates to a building with a gallery an outside covered by a ceiling and a parapet is limited. The weather is free on the gallery exposed.

If such, in the Netherlands as "Flat" [high-rise] be buildings are renovated, the desire often arises on closing the galleries to increase the comm continues the residents. However, since it is for fire safety reasons it is necessary that at least 35% of the facade surface remains open to smoke accumulation in the event of a fire The balustrade is often counteracted by grids replaced with a large open area. The area above the Parapet to the ceiling is then ver with window panes closed.

So although optically a closed facade and a ge closed gallery are the weather influences and especially the temperature and the wind very noticeable on the gallery.

The invention now intends to be economical to get a building with galleries that are actually in front Weather influences are protected and yet they are Meet fire safety requirements.

In the building characterized in claim 1 after the Invention this object is achieved in that the glasses ne seal can be opened over the parapet itself, to the required ventilation in the event of a  It can cause fire and smoke original parapet remain, whereby one hosts economic solution is obtained. When closed the tilt window becomes an almost complete seal received so that the stay at the gallery also at very bad weather is comfortable.

Preferably, the measure of claim 2 is applied. It can be implemented at low cost, that in warm weather the bottom-hung windows are opened to for example, an excessive temperature due to sunshine to avoid radiation on the gallery.

A further development is characterized by claim 3 draws. Even in cases where the temperature is on is acceptable, but high humidity prevails, good ventilation can be obtained by the tilt windows are opened.

An added advantage of those described above further developments, the tilting window also increased temperatures or increased humidity speed is that the drive devices be activated regularly and remain operational ben, so that it is ensured that in the event of a fire the bottom-hung windows are opened in a reliable manner.

Another advantageous development is in claim 4 ge indicates. For safety as well as comfort in the gallery it is desirable that the windows at high Wind speeds are not open. This is with this measure realized according to the invention.

Existing buildings can easily be made into a building the invention by applying the measure according to claim 5 rebuild. The support profile is in the right one Mounted horizontally on the parapet. When attaching the window frames, these are in the one  Final profile inserted at the top, slightly raised and put on the support profile. Through the Adjustability of the support profile and because of the Frame can be moved vertically in the inclusion profile, can the window frame despite the occurring Dimensional tolerances can be easily applied.

A very advantageous development is known in claim 6 draws. Because the folds are made of flexible material like rubbery material, we become one simple construction, but on the other hand, the great advantage realized that especially children are not with fingers can be caught in the folds. The Strips of flexible material give way so far that no dangerous situation can arise. This eliminates the need a precious safety device that drives the would turn off the device in the event of danger.

With the measure of claim 7 it is achieved that the Windows can be freely pivoted, especially around their To be able to wash window panes on both sides.

A number of tilt windows can be made to move synchronously if the measure of claim 8 is applied. When applying this measure, a number of an drive devices can be saved.

With the measure of claim 9 can in one stroke Preserve the parapet from water ingress become.

The function of the drive devices, even if the Electricity network can be used in an economically advantageous manner the measure of claim 10 can be realized. Through the Application of low voltage components can the system in in no way a danger to the users of the building represent.

The invention is described below with reference to the figures Embodiments shown further clarified.

Fig. 6 is a section along the line VI-VI in Fig. 1;

Fig. 7 is a sectional perspective view according to the arrow VII in FIG. 1.

Fig. 1 shows a gallery 1 of a skyscraper according to the invention. This gallery 1 is attached to the outside of the building and is delimited on the outside by a parapet two. At the top, gallery 1 is delimited by a ceiling 3 , which is the bottom of the floor of the gallery above.

Between the top of the parapet 2 and the ceiling 3 , tilt windows 4 are attached, which are pivotable about a horizontal pivot axis. In FIG. 1, a front pair of hopper 4 in a closed state and then befindliches second pair of tilt window in an open state is shown.

The windows 4 are each accommodated in window frames 6 , which are mounted by means of a support profile 5 connected to the parapet 2 and a connection profile 7 connected to the ceiling 3 . As will be described, the attachment is such that manufacturing tolerances in the building can be compensated for. Between window frame men in the longitudinal direction of the gallery 1 , grids 14 are provided, which ensure a desired minimum ventilation. As shown in FIG. 2, these grids can be locked with a flap 15 .

It is common that at regular intervals, for example, corresponding to the width of the high-rise apartments, transversely running support beams 18 are provided, which carry the galleys forming concrete slabs. The window frames with the tilting windows 4 are preferably dimensioned such that one window with a row, preferably two, tilting windows fits between two adjacent support beams. A ventilation grille 14 is then inserted between the two subsequent window frames at the level of the support beam 18 .

As FIG. 2 also shows, the Trä are on both sides gerbalkens 18 mounted on the ceiling vents 17, which extend from the gallery located at the housing 1 from the outside.

The tilting window can be moved between the open and closed position shown in FIG. 1 by a generally designated 8 drive device. In the illustrated embodiment, these electric motors comprise driven screw spindles. The drive device 8 is controlled by means of a control device 9 . A fire or smoke sensor 10 is connected to this control device 9 .

The control works as follows. As soon as the fire or smoke sensor 10 is addressed, it emits a signal to the control device 9 , whereupon the control device 9 applies a supply voltage to the electric motors of the screw spindles via the control lines 11 . The control device keeps the voltage turned on until the tilt windows 4 have been brought into their fully open position. In this open position, at least 30% of the facade area is open, so that smoke can escape in a sufficiently reliable manner.

In addition to the smoke / fire sensor 10 shown in FIG. 1, other sensors and possibly manual operation can be connected to the control device 9 . Other sensors may be temperature and humidity sensors installed on gallery 1 and wind speed sensors installed outdoors. In this case, even if the air humidity is too high, the windows can be opened. At high wind speeds, however, it will not be desirable for the windows to be opened, and in this case an attached wind speed sensor can ensure that the windows do not open despite high temperature or high air humidity, or that when the windows are open they getting closed.

In the embodiment shown, each tilt window 4 is provided with its own drive device 8 . Perhaps two adjacent windows are connected to each other by means of a coupling profile 12 . Depending on the type of drive device, more windows can be operated simultaneously by a single drive device.

FIGS. 3 and 4 show in more detail how the window frame according to the invention between the upper edge of the sill 2 and the cover 3 are mounted.

As shown in FIGS. 2, an angle is fixed profile 16 on the railing 2. A support profile 5 is mounted on a standing leg of this angle profile 16 . The support profile 5 can be attached to the angle profile 16 at a variable height, so that the support profile 5 can be aligned well horizontally and essentially parallel to the ceiling 3 .

On the ceiling 3 , an inclusion profile 7 is mounted with bolts 20 . The inclusion profile 7 takes the upper profile 22 of the window frame 6 vertically displaceable between you gung 21 .

The lower profile of the window frame 6 rests with a vertical right flange 28 in a groove-shaped cut 29 of the support profile 5 .

The installation of the window frame is therefore very simple in the following way. After attaching the support profile 5 and the inclusion profile 7 , the fully assembled window frame 6 is inserted obliquely upwards from the gallery 1 into the inclusion profile. Then the window frame is pivoted until the flange 28 is above the groove 29 and the window frame is allowed to sink until this flange rests in the groove. Then the window frame can be secured, for example by attaching a series of locking screws through the support profile and through the flange 8 .

As shown in FIGS. 3 and 4 also clearly show the folds of the tilting window 4 and the window frame 6 are of profi les 26, 27 made of bendable material, particularly synthetic rubber. These profiles 26 , 27 lie against each other in the closed position and ensure the sealing of the window in the window frame. The "hard" parts of the window and the window frame thereby remain at a considerable distance from each other, so that the risk of fingers getting caught is avoided. The profiles 26 , 27 bend to the side when a foreign body, in particular a child's fingers, is between the window frame and the window when the window is closed. Since the folds are made from flexible profiles, a good seal is also ensured, even if the surface of the window frame does not completely coincide with the surface of the window in the closed state. This can be done by building satchels, so that the parapet is not just under the entire length of the ceiling 43 . In addition, the installation of window frames and windows in existing buildings can be done efficiently because less tight tolerances need to be observed.

In the window 4 , a simple window pane is mounted in the usual way with Einrastlei 25 .

Fig. 5 shows the section in the region of the connection of the window frame to the grid 14. A post 30 is attached between the parapet 2 and the ceiling 3 . For stiffening purposes, this post, designed as an extrusion profile, is provided with a groove 31 in which a reinforcing strip 32 can be mounted. Depending on the desired stiffness properties of the post 30 , a narrower or wider strip can be used.

On the side of the grid 14 , an inclusion profile 33 is installed, which slidably receives the post 30 , in the same manner as the inclusion profile 7 slidably receives the upper profile 22 of the frame. On the other side, the window frame comprises a frame profile 34 , which also slides over the post 30 . In the post 30 , a pin 36 of stainless steel is mounted approximately halfway up, which forms the hinge pin for the window 4 . In the window 4 at the level of the hinge pin 36, a plastic block 38 is provided which rotatably receives the pin. The window is secured by means of a locking screw 37 which engages and can be attached in the pin 36 before the snap bar 25 is mounted.

A post 30 is also attached between two tilting windows 4 , from the same extrusion profile as the post, which adjoins the grid 14 . As FIG. 6 clearly shows, a hinge pin 39 extends through the post 30 in the direction of the two sides of the post. The hinge pin 39 is provided with an incision 41 can attack in which a set screw 40 to secure the pin. 39 The storage of the window 4 on the pin 39 is carried out in the same manner as shown in Fig. 5, by means of plastic bearing blocks 38th

As FIG. 6 shows, the fold profiles 35 are received directly in the post 30 . In the construction in the area of the grid 14 , the fold profile 35 is received in the frame profile 34 .

Fig. 7 shows the construction drawn in Fig. 6 in section in perspective. In the embodiment shown here, the tilt window 4 pivots in such a way that the top moves backwards and the bottom side forwards. The fact that the folds of the Falzprofi len 35 can pass through the profile of the window 4 and the menpfosten 30 of the frame in the entire height. About the hinge axis 39, the seaming profiles 35 are just installed the other way around as below the axis 39, so that these seaming in the correct way in sealing contact with each other come when closing the window. The inverted profiles 35 above and below the axis 39 will lie against each other at the level of the axis 39 in the partial line.

By using the folded profiles 35 , in addition to the security against squeezing already mentioned, a great advantage is obtained in the area of production. The hinge axis 39 can be placed at any desired height of the window. Depending on the circumstances, the window 4 can pivot near its lower end, near its upper end or anywhere in between. The pivoting of the window inwards or outwards can also be freely selected. The folded profiles 35 only need to be attached in the correct manner in the grooves provided in the frame and window profiles.

Although this has not been shown in detail in the figures, the drive devices 8 are detachably attached to the windows 4 . To wash the window panes, the drive devices are released, after which the windows can be tilted freely so that the outside can be washed.

Although the above description is aimed at an exemplary embodiment in which the gallery is completed with window frames and windows that are attached to an existing bung 2 , the invention is of course not limited to this. Within the framework of the renovation or new construction, a new parapet can be installed, which may contain glass, for example, so that the facade of the building formed according to the invention forms a so-called fleece facade. In the application shown with an existing parapet 2 , the support profile 5 is provided with a leak plate 23 , which protects the parapet 2 from rainwater, so that the lifespan of this parapet 2 is extended. As shown in Fig. 4 with arrows, the profiles of the window 4 , the lower profile 24 of the window frame and the support profile 5 are provided with suitable openings for the removal of condensation and rain water. This water reaches the leak plate 23 and flows away from it, outside the parapet.
