Definitions
- the present invention relates to a facade, in particular a glass facade, in which facade elements are mounted on a supporting structure, in particular a metal structure.
- FR-A-2 031 927 discloses a retaining device to a frame of a structure carrying at least one facade panel, this device comprising elements connected to the upper edge of the facade panel and allowing vertical and lateral adjustment (in the plane of the front panel). This retaining device does not allow sliding between the supporting structure and the facade panel, and moreover the restraint between the two elements is realized by a non-supporting intermediate part of the facade panel.
- the invention is more particularly concerned with facades in which the frame of the supporting structure is compact and discrete for highlight facade elements forming sets, especially glazed, wide.
- a particular example of a façade to which the invention is susceptible of apply is a glazed facade consisting of Attached External Glazing (VEA) sometimes referred to as "structural glazing".
- VSA Attached External Glazing
- This type of glazing is fixed on the supporting structure not by its periphery to using a peripheral frame but with mechanical attachment points located usually at each of its corners.
- This type of very discreet installation allows to obtain building facades consisting entirely of glazed elements, very aesthetic, generally presenting a minimum of surface discontinuity from the outside.
- a carrier structure elements that are the least visible from the outside, such as for example poles or pillars.
- a metal frame such than steel, which has sufficient strength to withstand the weight of glazing and that fits well with the glass from an aesthetic point of view.
- Steel has in addition the advantage of having a coefficient of thermal expansion relatively close to that of glass so the difference between the thermal behaviors of the various elements constituting the facade is not very much accused.
- This mounting system also provides for the use of a fixed stiffener directly on the glazed elements, this stiffener being generally constituted by a tensile element stretched between the vertical members of the framework metallic.
- this stiffener being generally constituted by a tensile element stretched between the vertical members of the framework metallic.
- Such a system is described in EP-A-0 201 212, where the pulling element is a wire rope.
- the aim of the invention is to propose a facade mounting system allowing freer choice of materials, particular which guarantees the necessary reliability even when the structure is relatively light or where the elements constituting the facade behave differently with respect to thermal stresses, in particular with relatively large thermal expansion differences.
- the invention is also in line with the recent trend of design modular sets with interchangeable elements available in several models manufactured by series and whose installation claims a mounting system with a certain flexibility, capable of overcome the difficulties related to manufacturing tolerances.
- a facade comprising at least one facade element such as glazing fixed on a supporting structure by fastening means, further comprising a stiffening member such as a bracing, which is in connection with the structure via at least a connecting piece which is characterized in that said connecting piece is different from said fixing means so that the stiffening element is in connection with the structure via at least the said one connecting piece with at least one degree of freedom excluding one degree of freedom in one direction normal to the facade.
- cascade means common term one of the sides, exposed to the view, of a building, but also of more generally any architectural work constituting a wall of a building, whether exterior or interior, such as a partition.
- “Supporting structure” means the elements on which is fixed the facade, without necessarily that they alone support the entire weight of the facade.
- the term “stiffener” refers to a system intended to stabilize the assembly of facade elements and fight against deformation, especially in a direction normal to the facade.
- the invention therefore provides for stiffening the facade by means of a stiffener in connection with the structure, with no degree of freedom in the normal direction to the facade to ensure full and direct transmission of transverse forces such as those due to the wind, both in the direction of a pressure inwards than an outward aspiration, but with at least one degree of freedom in another direction to catch up with positional offsets, possibly due to different deformations in charge of the elements forming the facade.
- the invention applies to all known facade types, in particular but not limited to glazed facades in which one or more glazed elements form a glass wall visible from the outside or the inside of the building.
- This wall can be full or include one or more berries in which doors, windows or others are installed equipment, in particular glass or any other material.
- the glazed elements can indifferently comprise a substrate of glass and / or plastic material, in the form of monolithic glazing, having in particular undergone a treatment of tempering, laminated glazing, or double glazing.
- the method of fixing the façade elements to the structure is not no longer limited.
- traditional fixtures such as taking on rabbet on two, three or four sides, the parclosing, the engravure, as well as techniques such as Mechanical fastening (VEA) or bonding (VEC technique: external glazing glue).
- VVA Mechanical fastening
- VEC technique external glazing glue
- the supporting structure can also be chosen very freely.
- the invention applies more particularly to structures with a discrete, light frame, made mainly of elements of elongated form such as beams, beams, sleepers. Such elements are likely to see their main dimension (length or height) fluctuate according to climatic conditions by thermal expansion. If a stiffening element reacting differently to the same stresses thermal was totally fixed on this structure, the dilations resulting differentials would impose on one or the other of the elements a additional constraint that could affect its stability and prevent it from play his role properly.
- connection between the element stiffener and the structure has a degree of freedom along this main axis, more particularly at least one degree of freedom in translation according to this axis.
- This degree of freedom is particularly advantageous when the structure carrier is metallic, especially a light metal and coefficient of high thermal expansion such as aluminum, or a material composite, materials generally highly subject to expansion thermal.
- the invention applies more particularly to this last variant, where the transmission to the structure set back from the transverse forces undergone by the façade is very localized, provided by connecting pieces located between the structure and the facade, and fixed on points of attachment facade elements.
- the degree of freedom allowed by the stiffener-structure connecting pieces can be located indifferently on the stiffener or on the structure.
- the connecting piece is attached to the element stiffener and this is the binding part to the structure that is free to move in a direction other than perpendicular to the facade.
- the choice of the forms adapted to each particular case is at the range of the skilled person, and is virtually unlimited if one realizes a profiled supporting structure, such as an aluminum profile. The only requirement to respect is that the forms are such that a relative motion in a normal direction to the facade is impossible.
- the structure has two recesses side and the connecting piece has two protruding parts of form complementary allowing the connecting piece to slide on the structure.
- the structure comprises a groove and the connecting piece has a protruding portion of shape complement allowing the connecting piece to slide in the structure (In other words, the connecting piece is a male element in sliding connection with the structure as a female element).
- the stiffening element can also be of any known type. He must be located in a plane normal to the facade to provide the desired resistance to the wind or other transverse forces. In a particular mode, this plan Normal to the facade is a vertical plane.
- the stiffening element may advantageously comprise one (or more) flat plate, especially a glass plate, which arranged perpendicular to the facade is very little visible from the outside.
- the facade can be vertical or in a substantially vertical plane, but it can also be inclined eventually horizontally forwards or backwards, at any angle from - 90 ° to + 90 ° with respect to the vertical.
- the structure and the stiffener are both mounted between a level upper and lower level, preferably with one-point fixation rotational point (pivot connection) to at least one of the ends of the structure and / or stiffener.
- the carrier structure and the stiffening element are suspended at the upper level.
- the other end of the structure and / or the stiffening element is in free support against means intended to block the orientation of the structure and / or the stiffening element with respect to facade elements to adequately ensure the transmission of efforts.
- the good transmission of efforts also requires a fixation effective of the connecting piece to the element which it is secured.
- the fastening is made on the stiffener, the latter having the shape of a plate, the invention provides a very effective fastening system.
- the connecting piece comprises a head of attachment to the stiffening element having a through bore
- the plate is also having a through bore having a frustoconical portion
- a rod having a frustoconical portion is inserted into said holes placed in coincidence and is abutted against the frustoconical portion of the bore crossing the plate.
- the invention provides means for compensate for manufacturing tolerances that may lead to alignment incorrect stiffener in relation to the structure or stiffening elements between them.
- These means are advantageously integrated with at least one piece linkage which is equipped with means for adjusting the position of the head of fixation with respect to the axis of the bore passing through the plate, in particular for to compensate for the manufacturing tolerances of the holes.
- These means can include two toothed washers connected one to the fixing head and the other at the stem and whose toothed faces are arranged facing one of the other.
- Another embodiment uses the relative displacement of two oblong holes not perpendicular.
- FIG. 1 represents a partial view of a facade 1 made up of glazing 2 arranged between a higher level 3 (ceiling) and a level lower 4 (floor). Each glazing 2 is mechanically fixed to its four corners by attachment points 5 on a supporting structure 6.
- FIG. 2 presents a side view of the structure carrier 6 and the fasteners 7 which connect the points 5 to the latter.
- the carrier structure 6 consists in an aluminum profile placed vertically, suspended at the upper level 3 to a point 8.
- the profile is equipped with a connecting piece 9 which protrudes beyond the upper end of the profile 6, provided in the part overflowing with a through hole intended to be put in place next to corresponding holes on the ceiling 3 whose axis is represented by the point 8.
- a stud 10 engages in the axis of the aligned bores to ensure fixing the section 6 in the upper part with pivot connection about the axis 8.
- the hollow section 6 is fitted on a protruding form 11 on the lower level 4 and whose function is to ensure lateral.
- the method of attachment shown is a particular solution to which the invention is not limited and it is possible to envisage a multitude of equivalent means for making a fastening of one end of the profile to a first level by a point and a free support link from the other end of the profile at the opposite level.
- connection piece 9 is not indispensable, and provision can be made for fixing points directly on the profile.
- the solution described is however advantageous in the extent to which it defers the point of attachment out of the structure.
- the profile 6 can be surface-mounted to the front of the upper level 3 as on a floor nose.
- the facade shown in FIG. 2 is further equipped with an element stiffener constituted by a bracing 12 disposed at the rear of the carrier structure 6 (assuming that the facade 1 is arranged in front of the supporting structure), mounted between the upper level 3 and the lower level 4, and connected to the supporting structure 6 by means of connecting pieces 13.
- an element stiffener constituted by a bracing 12 disposed at the rear of the carrier structure 6 (assuming that the facade 1 is arranged in front of the supporting structure), mounted between the upper level 3 and the lower level 4, and connected to the supporting structure 6 by means of connecting pieces 13.
- Other usual arrangements of bracing are however included in the invention.
- the stiffening element 12 is formed by a glass plate 14, and the connecting pieces 13 are metal, in particular of aluminum.
- the glass plate 14 can be monolithic as represented, ie consisting of a single sheet of glass, possibly having undergone heat quenching treatment and / or chemical and possibly carrying one or more functional layers, but can also be laminated structure consisting of at least one sheet of glass and at least one sheet of plastic material such as PVB.
- the shape of the glass plate is not specifically limited and may be chosen very freely depending on the desired aesthetic.
- edge of the plate 14 may be parallel to the profile 6 as shown but also disposed at an angle to the vertical.
- the mounting of the stiffening element 12 between the upper and lower levels is similar to that of the profile 6.
- a piece of link 15 is clamped to the upper edge of the glass plate 14. has a portion protruding beyond the plate and having a bore intended to be installed next to corresponding holes at the level higher and to receive a fixing pin 16.
- the plate 14 is in mechanical connection with a shoe 17 having a longitudinal groove in which the lower edge of the plate 14 engages in free support (so it has a degree of freedom in translation in the plane of the plate) with a lateral lock. Room 17 thus makes it possible to block the orientation of the glass plate 14 with respect to the supporting structure 6.
- the structure and the stiffener are each fixed by a point at one end and free support at the other end, preferably the degree of freedom at the same end, for example the lower end.
- the supporting structure and the stiffening element are advantageously hanging at their upper end. However, especially when their weight is high, it is possible to make them rest on the lower level, in thus maintaining a degree of freedom in the upper part.
- the connecting pieces 13 ensure the integral transmission forces suffered by the facade 1 in a direction transverse to this last.
- connection between the part 13 and the supporting structure has no degree of freedom in the direction normal to the facade.
- FIG. 3 illustrates a particular embodiment of this connection, as well as an example of advantageous fixing of the piece of link 13 on the glass plate 14.
- the connecting piece 13 consists of two identical half-pieces 18 arranged symmetrically each on the marginal part of the plate of glass 14 with a portion protruding beyond the surface of the latter.
- the two half-rooms are assembled together in two places: one on the portion engaged with the glass plate; the other on the overflowing portion of the glass plate.
- the half-pieces 18 comprise a fastening head 19 pierced with a through hole 20, intended to to be compared with a bore 21 passing through the glass plate 14.
- the assembly is carried out by means of a threaded rod 22 inserted in the holes 20, 21 and two nuts 23 tightened on the outer face of each half-piece 18.
- the assembly is carried out by a screw system 24 - nut 25.
- connection with the profile 6 is carried out on the overflowing part of the glass plate 14 by means of two ribs 26 parallel to the axis of the profile 6 and cooperating with two longitudinal grooves 27 practiced in this latest.
- the height of the ribs 26 and the depth of the grooves 27 are chosen so that, once the piece 13 is engaged on the section 6 with the ribs 26 inserted in the grooves 27, a separation by traction transverse to the axis of the profile is impossible. Exhibit 13 is by elsewhere free to slide along the profile 6.
- the coefficient of friction of the surface of the rib 26 on the groove 27 is relatively low.
- slippery pads 28, especially of a material such as polyamide, are incorporated in the ribs 26 of to form a substantial proportion of the contact area.
- the constitution of the connecting piece 13 in two parts is not a necessity in itself but is advantageous in this embodiment particular, because it facilitates the assembly of the elements: the glass plate 14 being kept in a position close to its final blocked position laterally in the groove of the shoe 17, the two half-pieces 18 on either side of the plate 14, each rib is engaged 26 in the corresponding groove 27 on the profile 6, the two ribs acting as two jaws engaged on the profile, insert the threaded rod 22 and the screw 24 in the respective corresponding holes brought into coincidence and we tighten the nuts 23 and 25.
- the edge of the glass plate 14 is protected from any impact against metal parts by skates compressible 29, in particular of elastomer, placed in support-against a face glass and the inner side of the half-piece opposite.
- skates compressible 29, in particular of elastomer placed in support-against a face glass and the inner side of the half-piece opposite. The skates are held tight between the inner face of each half-piece 18 and the glass 14 once the editing is finished.
- the connecting piece 13 may consist of a single piece, especially when the solution adopted for the connection to the structure carrier no longer provides jaws leaning on two opposite sides of the profile, but a protruding shape inserted inside a profile presenting a substantially tubular section portion.
- the assembly remains easy in this configuration: the connecting parts before being inserted into the profile, the glass plate is brought closer to gradually of the profile, so as to engage the edge of the plate in the air gap of the connecting piece.
- This link must be such as to allow full transmission to the stiffener 12 transverse forces to the facade.
- the link comprises, in addition to the clamping on the faces of the glass plate (parallel to the direction of transverse forces), support following an incident surface non-zero with the direction of the transverse forces.
- the hollow receiving element 30 consists of a metal screw hollow, the outer contour of which bears against the countersunk hole 21, advantageously by means of a flexible joint-collar 31 of aluminum, which is held by a nut 32 pressed against the glass plate 14 by via a flexible washer 33 including plastic.
- the tightening of the nut 32 on the screw 30 is adjusted to create at rest a compression stress in the material surrounding the hole so as to increase the resistance of the weakened zone by drilling. This strength of tightening is finalized before mounting the facade so that guarantee the strength of the bracing independently of the force applied to the assembly when fixing the connecting piece 13.
- the receiving part of the hollow element 30 comprises at least one conical portion conforming to the taper of the tapered intermediate portion of the shank 22.
- this receiving part comprises a conical portion of sufficient length to receive the entire part conical threaded rod 22 which is extended by a cylindrical portion 34 coaxial diameter greater than that of the threaded cylindrical parts of the stem 22.
- the cylindrical portion of the hollow receiving member 30 protruding from the surface of the plate 14 is longer than the washer 33 - nut 32, so that that the half-piece 18 can be supported on the end of the part cylindrical 34.
- a washer 35 was disposed against the end of the hollow receiving element 30, this washer acting as a spacer to provide the second half-piece 18 with a bearing surface symmetrical with the first.
- the part 13 formed after tightening the nuts 23 is symmetrical compared to the plane of the glass plate. Generally, such a tightening is done by arranging the threaded rod coaxially with the bores 20 provided in the half-rooms 18.
- the position of the connecting piece 13 is defined accordingly by that of the milling axis of the hole 21 with an uncertainty related to the tolerances of manufacture of glass plates with countersunk holes.
- the invention provides a system for fine tuning the position of the connecting piece, and correct if necessary the clearance due to drilling the countersunk hole.
- the bore 20 on the half-piece 18 is constituted by a bore in two parts of different diameter, separated by a shoulder, the part of the small diameter having a diameter greater than that of the cylindrical portion Threaded rod 22.
- a toothed washer 36 On the shoulder is disposed a toothed washer 36.
- the shoulder itself can be notched.
- the washer 37 is adjusted with a weak clearance on the cylindrical portion of the threaded rod 22.
