Definitions

  • This invention relates to building systems and more particularly to a building system for the attachment of curtain walling or cladding to a building frame and at the corners thereof.
  • a system for the attachment of curtain walling or cladding to a building frame comprising a right-angled bracket attachable to a frame of a building to be clad, said bracket having, in each limb thereof, an elongated slot, said slots being elongated normal to each other; a flat plate provided, on each side thereof, with at least two parallel lands adjacent one end of said plate and disposed normal to the longitudinal axis of the plate, said plate further being provided with an elongated slot disposed with its longitudinal axis normal to said lands and with a circular aperture adjacent the other end of said plate, said plate being able to be bolted to said bracket via said circular aperture and a said bracket slot; a pair of matable members respective portions of which are each provided with at least four grooves, the said grooved portions being adapted to be disposed one either side of said flat plate and bolted thereto, via the elongated slot thereof and registering bores provided in said grooved portions respectively, so
  • Figure 1 is a plan view showing various components of the present invention
  • Figure 2 is a plan view of a ridged plate;
  • Figure 3 is an angled bracket;
  • Figure 4 shows how four members are joined into a cruciform configuration
  • Figure 5 is a plan view showing various components of the invention at a corner of a building.
  • Figure 6 is a front view of a serrated-faced member.
  • the frame of a building to be clad may be constructed from rolled steel joints (known as RSJ) as indicated at 1.
  • RSJ rolled steel joints
  • slots 4 and 5 are elongated normal to each other; thus bracket 3 is able to move with respect to RSJ 1 as indicated by double-arrow "A" .
  • bracket 3 When bracket 3 has been positioned and bolted down to RSJ 1, the projecting portion of 3 has attached to it a plate 6 provided with parallel ridges or lands 7 on either side. Bracket 3 and plate 6 are bolted together via the elongated slot 5 in the said bracket and a hole 8 in plate 6. Ideally, as bracket 3 is of steel and plate 6 is of aluminum, to prevent electrostatic failure hole 8 is fitted with an insulating bush 10 together with an insulating washer 9 at each end of the bush.
  • plate 6 can accommodate vertical movement at the junction with bracket 3 as indicated by double-arrow "B" ; that is to say, towards and from the beholder.
  • This provision of vertical movement, in conjunction with the horizontal movement at slot 4, allows the exterior panels to be so fixed that individual panels can be positioned accurately with even compression of any sealing strip at all points in between adjacent panels and in the cruciform as shown in Figure 4.
  • the ridged end of plate 6 is "sandwiched" between a pair of matable members 11 and 12. Portions 13 and 14, respectively, of members 11 and 12 are each provided with four grooves, as those referenced 15. It will be appreciated from Figures 1 and 2 that the ridged end of plate 6 is able to be slid between the spaced-apart portions
  • Portions 13 and 14 are clamped to the ridged end of plate 6 by means of such as a bolt 16 adapted to extend through bores 17, 18 in portions 13 and 14 respectively; these two portions are urged towards each other by a compression spring 19.
  • ridged plate 6 is provided with an elongated slot 20.
  • the major portions of the matable members 11 and 12 are as will be clear from perusal of Figure 1.
  • the matable part of member 11 includes a tongue 21 while the co-acting matable part of member 12 includes a bifurcated configuration 22, 23.
  • a resilient sealing strip 24 ideally of expanded polyethylene or other suitable sealing materials.
  • Similar sealants, 25 and 26, are recessed in members 11 and 12, as illustrated.
  • the exterior cladding, or curtain walling, is preferably rivetted, as at 27, to the matable members.
  • the curtain walling or exterior cladding may well take the form of panels comprised of, say, a core of an insulating material 28 - perhaps of a suitable foamed plastic - having a fibreglass mesh, or "glass cloth", reinforcement 29 and an outer, weatherproof surface coating
  • FIG. 5 a corner of a building is represented, referenced 35 - to which corner the curtain walling or cladding is to be affixed, as hereinbefore described with reference to Figures 1 to 4.
  • the corner fitting has four main components referenced 36, 37, 38 and 39.
  • Component 36 is preferably an aluminum, plastic or similar extrusion and extends from top to bottom of a panel, or cladding member to be affixed to wall 35.
  • Component 36 has a serrated-face 40 and a slot or channel 41.
  • Component 37 also is an aluminum, plastic or similar extrusion and is wedge-shaped; however component .37 does not extend from top to bottom but is in the form of, say, two-inch lengths as shown in Figure 6.
  • Component 37 also has serrations 42 which co-act with serrations 40 on component 36.
  • Components 37 are spaced apart on the building's frame or walls and affixed thereto by screws, as that referenced 43, which pass through holes , as 44 .
  • the third component 38 is an aluminum, plastic or similar extrusion and again extends from top to bottom, as does component 36.
  • a tongue 45 is engaged in a co-acting groove 46 of the previously affixed extrusions 36 and 37, and extrusion 38 affixed to wall 35 by screws 47.
  • the fourth main component 39 is an aluminum, plastic or similar extrusion also extending from top to bottom and has attached to it the last cladding panel, all the rest of the periphery to the building having been clad.
  • Component 39 "snap-fits" onto component 38 by pressing in the direction indicated by arrow "A", to operate the locking lands 48 and 49 in conventional manner.
  • Components 38 and 39 incorporate strips of sealant 50, 51 and 52 which are so disposed as to meet their equivalents when panels come together.
  • the cladding or curtain walling panels which are to be affixed to the extruded components may, at corners, be either mitred, or overlapped, but it is essential that such as glass cloth and exterior sealant strips fully encompass the outside of the construction; this arrangement has been made clear with reference to Figures 1 to 4. As will be appreciated, the above arrangement of components may well be adapted to use on internal corners, window and door reveals and the like.
  • the building system as hereinbefore described has numerous advantages over and above prior art constructions; the inventive system is easy to instal and reduces building costs by up to, perhaps, 75%.
  • the inventive building system replaces the usual heavy concrete panel cladding with lightweight plastic/cementitious skin weatherproof cladding, but nevertheless permits attachment of conventional metal panels where required or desired; complete watertightness is assured due to the presence of the flexible sealant strips between all joints.
  • the insulation of the building is much enhanced, thereby reducing energy costs, for example the costs of heating and/or air-conditioning.
  • This invention also allows new exterior panels of many materials to be affixed to existing structures with automatic waterproofing of all joints in the new exterior covering.

Abstract

Le système décrit sert à fixer un revêtement externe à une paroi ou à une structure d'un bâtiment, de sorte que le revêtement peut effectuer des mouvements limités dans trois directions par rapport à la paroi ou à la structure, de façon à combattre l'accumulation de contraintes lors de conditions défavorables. Ledit système comprend un premier élément (3) fixé à la structure du bâtiment et comportant des organes (4, 5) permettant des réglages d'un second élément (6) fixé par l'une de ses extrémités à la structure. L'autre extrémité du second élément (6) comprend un autre organe de réglage (7) placé en sandwich entre des petites parties (13, 14) d'éléments (11, 12) pouvant être unis et placés dos à dos, qui sont maintenus de façon résiliente l'un contre l'autre par un organe résilient (19) associé à un alésage allongé (20) ce qui permet un réglage supplémentaire. Entre des parties plus grandes des éléments (11, 12) pouvant être unis est placée une bande d'étanchéité résiliente (24) qui constitue l'élément d'étanchéité interne. Sur les faces tournées vers l'extérieur de ces éléments sont placées d'autres bandes d'étanchéité résilientes (25, 26) qui constituent les éléments d'étanchéité externes sur lesquels le revêtement externe est maintenu en un bout par des organes (27) ancrés aux éléments (11, 12) pouvant être unis.
