Description

La présente invention concerne un dispositif de fixation d'un vitrage sur une structure porteuse, constituée par exemple par une ossature d'immeuble, ce vitrage de façade pouvant dans ce cas être constitué par un grand nombre d'éléments de vitrage -en principe carrés ou rectangulaires- juxtaposés.The present invention relates to a device for fixing a glazing to a load-bearing structure, constituted for example by a building frame, this facade glazing which can in this case be constituted by a large number of glazing elements - in principle square or rectangular- juxtaposed.

La suspension de ce type de vitrage pose des problèmes mécaniques délicats, du fait principalement du poids important du verre (feuilleté et/ou trempé), dont l'épaisseur peut aller de 8 à 19 mm et qui peut dans certaines applications être disposé en double vitrage. Le problème résulte aussi du fait que ces vitrages présentent une grande surface de prise au vent et peuvent subir de ce fait des contraintes de flexion très sévères, à quoi s'ajoutent les déformations différentielles de l'ossature ou de la façade porteuse, dues aux dilatations différentielles d'origine mécanique (par exemple pliage de l'ossature), ou thermiques (effet du l'ensoleillement sur le vitrage).The suspension of this type of glazing poses delicate mechanical problems, mainly due to the significant weight of the glass (laminated and / or toughened), the thickness of which can range from 8 to 19 mm and which in certain applications can be arranged in duplicate. glazing. The problem also results from the fact that these glazing units have a large surface for taking in the wind and can therefore undergo very severe bending stresses, to which are added the differential deformations of the framework or of the load-bearing facade, due to differential expansions of mechanical origin (for example folding of the framework), or thermal (effect of sunshine on the glazing).

Il faut aussi tenir compte du problème des tolérances de montage.The problem of mounting tolerances must also be taken into account.

Le but de la présente invention est de résoudre tous ces problèmes, et à cet effet, un dispositif conforme à l'invention, du type mentionné au début, est caractérisé en ce qu'il comporte, pour chaque élément de vitrage, un ensemble d'éléments de fixation, chacun comprenant une tige rigide dont une extrémité est associée à des moyens de serrage non rotulants sur ledit vitrage et dont l'autre extrémité est associée à un système à rotule grâce auquel elle est reliée, avec possibilité de débattement angulaire, à ladite structure porteuse.The purpose of the present invention is to solve all these problems, and for this purpose, a device according to the invention, of the type mentioned at the start, is characterized in that it comprises, for each glazing element, a set of 'fastening elements, each comprising a rigid rod, one end of which is associated with non-swiveling clamping means on said glazing and the other end of which is associated with a ball-joint system by which it is connected, with the possibility of angular movement, to said supporting structure.

Le système à rotule présente l'avantage d'une grande facilité d'absorption des jeux de montage ou des déformations de la façade pour toute cause extérieure, le débattement angulaire de ladite tige rigide pouvant être très important.The ball joint system has the advantage of great ease of absorption of assembly play or deformations of the facade for any external cause, the clearance angular said rigid rod can be very important.

Cette disposition générale de l'invention offrira également une grande possibilité d'absorption (ou de réduction) des contraintes provenant de la dilatation différentielle de la façade et de sa structure sous les contraintes thermiques dues par exemple à l'ensoleillement.This general arrangement of the invention will also offer a great possibility of absorption (or reduction) of the stresses originating from the differential expansion of the facade and of its structure under the thermal stresses due for example to sunshine.

Un dispositif conforme à l'invention pourra encore se caractériser en ce que lesdits moyens de serrage comprennent un plot de façade engagé dans un alésage du vitrage par la face extérieure de ce dernier, ce plot comportant d'une part un corps fileté en saillie sur la face intérieure du vitrage et propre à recevoir un écrou de serrage sur cette face, et d'autre part un logement taraudé propre à recevoir une extrémité filetée de ladite tige rigide. Grâce à cette extrémité filetée de la tige rigide, engagée dans le logement taraudé du plot de façade, on pourra régler commodément, en chaque point de fixation, l'espacement entre le vitrage et sa structure porteuse. Ce réglage une fois réalisé pourra être bloqué en prévoyant par exemple que l'extrémité filetée de ladite tige porte un contre-écrou propre à être serré contre l'extrémité dudit corps fileté.A device according to the invention may also be characterized in that said clamping means comprise a front stud engaged in a bore in the glazing by the external face of the latter, this stud comprising on the one hand a threaded body projecting from the inner face of the glazing and suitable for receiving a tightening nut on this face, and on the other hand a threaded housing suitable for receiving a threaded end of said rigid rod. Thanks to this threaded end of the rigid rod, engaged in the threaded housing of the facade stud, it will be possible to conveniently adjust, at each fixing point, the spacing between the glazing and its supporting structure. Once this adjustment has been made, it can be blocked by providing, for example, that the threaded end of said rod carries a clean lock nut that can be tightened against the end of said threaded body.

Avantageusement encore, on peut prévoir que ledit plot de façade comporte vers l'extérieur une tête élargie en appui sur une portée de forme correspondante dudit alésage du vitrage ; il pourra s'agir notamment d'une tête de forme conique pour obtenir une bonne répartition des charges de compression sur la face extérieure du vitrage, en chaque point de fixation.Advantageously also, it is possible to provide that said front stud comprises towards the outside an enlarged head bearing on a bearing of corresponding shape of said bore of the glazing; it may in particular be a conical head to obtain a good distribution of the compression loads on the exterior face of the glazing, at each fixing point.

Dans le même but, on peut prévoir avantageusement qu'une bague de matière synthétique est interposée entre ladite tête du plot de façade et ladite portée du vitrage.For the same purpose, one can advantageously provide that a ring of synthetic material is interposed between said head of the facade stud and said bearing surface of the glazing.

Pour la même raison encore, les moyens de serrage qui viennent d'être définis peuvent comprendre avantageusement une rondelle de matière synthétique interposée entre la face intérieure du vitrage et ledit écrou de serrage.For the same reason also, the tightening means which have just been defined may advantageously comprise a washer of synthetic material interposed between the inner face of the glazing and said tightening nut.

Dans le cas d'un double vitrage, constitué de deux plaques de verre espacées l'une de l'autre, un dispositif de fixation conforme à l'invention sera de préférence caractérisé en ce qu'une entretoise est engagée sur ledit corps du plot de façade, de façon à maintenir l'espacement voulu entre les deux dites plaques de verre au niveau desdits moyens de serrage, et en ce qu'un joint, entourant ladite entretoise, est enserré entre les deux dites plaques de verre.In the case of double glazing, consisting of two glass plates spaced from each other, a fixing device according to the invention will preferably be characterized in that a spacer is engaged on said body of the stud front, so as to maintain the desired spacing between the two said glass plates at the level of said clamping means, and in that a seal, surrounding said spacer, is clamped between the two said glass plates.

Pour ce qui est maintenant du système à rotule, disposé du côté de l'ossature ou façade porteuse, l'invention prévoit des moyens qui pourront bien entendu être utilisés quel que soit le type de vitrage.As regards the ball joint system, arranged on the side of the framework or load-bearing facade, the invention provides means which can of course be used regardless of the type of glazing.

Sous cet aspect, le dispositif de fixation conforme à l'invention pourra encore se caractériser en ce que ledit système à rotule comporte, à ladite autre extrémité de la tige rigide, une tête sphérique propre à être maintenue de façon rotulante dans un réceptacle de forme complémentaire, lequel est ménagé dans une pièce de fixation assujettie à ladite structure porteuse. Avantageusement, ladite pièce de fixation comporte d'une part un trou taraudé dont le fond présente une portée sphérique pour ladite tête, et dans lequel trou peut être vissée une vis à extrémité en forme de calotte sphérique concave, de sorte à pouvoir freiner la rotation de ladite tête sphérique de la tige ou du moins d'en régler le jeu, et d'autre part un corps fileté propre à traverser l'ouverture d'une plaque de fixation, et à y être serré grâce à un écrou de freinage engagé sur ledit corps.In this aspect, the fixing device according to the invention may also be characterized in that said ball-joint system comprises, at said other end of the rigid rod, a spherical head capable of being held in a ball-and-socket joint in a shaped receptacle complementary, which is formed in a fixing part subject to said support structure. Advantageously, said fixing part comprises on the one hand a tapped hole whose bottom has a spherical bearing for said head, and into which hole can be screwed an end screw in the form of a concave spherical cap, so as to be able to slow down the rotation of said spherical head of the rod or at least adjusting the clearance thereof, and on the other hand a threaded body capable of passing through the opening of a fixing plate, and of being tightened thereto by means of a engaged locking nut on said body.

On pourra ainsi obtenir un montage rapide des rotules, et régler commodément la force de serrage de l'écrou de freinage, ou du moins en régler le jeu.This will allow rapid assembly of the ball joints, and conveniently adjust the tightening force of the brake nut, or at least adjust the clearance.

On peut prévoir en outre qu'une rondelle-frein est interposée entre ledit écrou de freinage et ladite plaque de fixation, et également, qu'un cache-poussière est disposé autour de ladite tige rigide de sorte à s'appliquer contre ladite pièce de fixation, ceci pour protéger la rotule.It can also be provided that a lock washer is interposed between said brake nut and said fixing plate, and also, that a dust cover is arranged around said rigid rod so as to be applied against said fixing piece, this to protect the ball joint.

Le dispositif peut encore se caractériser en ce que ladite tige rigide sort de ladite pièce de fixation par un trou conique évasé vers l'extérieur, l'angle d'ouverture de ce trou conique pouvant être de l'ordre de 30°, cette valeur n'étant cependant qu'un exemple.The device can also be characterized in that said rigid rod exits from said fixing part by a conical hole flared outwards, the opening angle of this conical hole possibly being of the order of 30 °, this value being however only one example.

Cette disposition permet d'obtenir un grand débattement de la tige rigide dans ladite pièce de fixation (+15°, -15°), ce qui permet soit d'absorber la flèche de la façade (contrainte du vent par exemple), soit d'absorber les jeux du montage de la façade. La répartition des débattements peut être calculée à la conception de la façade et répartie par exemple ainsi : +/- 7,5° pour la flèche et +/- 7,5° pour le montage, la limite en flèche étant donnée par le choix (calcul) de l'épaisseur du verre.This arrangement makes it possible to obtain a large clearance of the rigid rod in said fixing piece (+ 15 °, -15 °), which makes it possible either to absorb the deflection of the facade (stress of the wind for example), or d '' absorb the backlash of the facade assembly. The distribution of deflections can be calculated at the design of the facade and distributed for example as follows: +/- 7.5 ° for the deflection and +/- 7.5 ° for mounting, the deflection limit being given by choice (calculation) of the thickness of the glass.

D'autres dispositions importantes de l'invention concernent les moyens de liaison entre l'ossature porteuse et ce que l'on a appelé plus haut les "pièces de fixation", c'est-à-dire les pièces qui reçoivent les rotules.Other important provisions of the invention relate to the means of connection between the supporting frame and what has been called above "fixing parts", that is to say the parts which receive the ball joints.

Considérant que les plaques de verre du vitrage seront des carrés ou des rectangles juxtaposés, et qu'elles seront reliées à la structure porteuse par leurs angles, l'invention pourra encore se caractériser en ce que lesdits systèmes à rotule sont reliés à la structure porteuse soit quatre par quatre, par l'intermédiaire de plaques de fixation en forme de croisillons, soit deux par deux, par l'intermédiaire de plaques de fixation en forme de pattes, ces plaques de fixation étant connectées par leur partie centrale à des barres rigides de liaison à ladite structure, soit encore individuellement.Considering that the glass plates of the glazing will be juxtaposed squares or rectangles, and that they will be connected to the support structure by their angles, the invention may also be characterized in that said ball-joint systems are connected to the support structure either four by four, by means of fixing plates in the form of cross-pieces, or two by two, by means of fixing plates in the form of legs, these fixing plates being connected by their central part to rigid bars connecting to said structure, or even individually.

Grâce à cette disposition, on pourra obtenir, pour les pièces de fixation des rotules, des jeux de montage sur les plaques de fixation verticalement pour certaines d'entre elles, latéralement pour d'autres et même dans ces deux directions pour encore d'autres pièces de fixation.Thanks to this arrangement, it will be possible to obtain, for the fixing parts of the ball joints, mounting clearances on the fixing plates vertically for some of them, laterally for others and even in these two directions for still others. fasteners.

Une plaque de fixation en forme de croisillon à quatre branches pourra ainsi se caractériser, par exemple, en ce qu'elle comporte aux extrémités de ces branches un trou dont le diamètre est très légèrement supérieur à l'épaisseur de la pièce de fixation correspondante, un trou ayant dans la direction horizontale une dimension notablement supérieure à ladite épaisseur, un trou dont le diamètre est notablement supérieur à l'épaisseur de la pièce de fixation correspondante et enfin un trou ayant dans la direction verticale une dimension notablement supérieure à ladite épaisseur.A cross-shaped fixing plate to four branches can thus be characterized, for example, in that it comprises at the ends of these branches a hole whose diameter is very slightly greater than the thickness of the corresponding fixing part, a hole having in the horizontal direction a dimension significantly greater than said thickness, a hole whose diameter is significantly greater than the thickness of the corresponding fixing piece and finally a hole having in the vertical direction a dimension significantly greater than said thickness.

De façon analogue, une plaque de fixation en forme de patte à deux branches pourra se caractériser en ce qu'elle comporte aux extrémités de ces branches un trou dont le diamètre est très légèrement supérieur à l'épaisseur de la pièce de fixation correspondante, et un trou ayant dans la direction horizontale ou verticale une dimension notablement supérieure à ladite épaisseur.Similarly, a fixing plate in the form of a leg with two branches may be characterized in that it comprises at the ends of these branches a hole whose diameter is very slightly greater than the thickness of the corresponding fixing part, and a hole having in the horizontal or vertical direction a dimension significantly greater than said thickness.

Ces dispositions permettent d'obtenir les tolérances de montage nécessaires, ainsi que d'absorber la diminution de la corde du verre sous une contrainte, par exemple due au vent. Les contraintes dans le verre sont ainsi réduites à leur minimum.These provisions make it possible to obtain the necessary mounting tolerances, as well as to absorb the reduction in the chord of the glass under stress, for example due to the wind. The stresses in the glass are thus reduced to their minimum.

En outre, il n'y aura pas de couple de provenance du verre dans les plaques à quatre positions ou dans les plaques à deux positions, grâce au positionnement des rotules dans ces plaques.In addition, there will be no torque from the glass in the four-position plates or in the two-position plates, thanks to the positioning of the ball joints in these plates.

Les mêmes avantages se retrouveront bien entendu avec les doubles vitrages.The same advantages will of course be found with double glazing.

Sur les figures 1 et 1a les éléments du vitrage ont été référencés 1 ; ces éléments, c'est-à-dire les plaques de verre, d'épaisseur variable, peuvent être séparés par des joints 1' de quelques mm d'épaisseur. La fixation de ce vitrage sur une ossature porteuse (non représentée) s'effectue d'une part grâce à des moyens de serrage non rotulants d'une tige rigide 2 sur les éléments 1, d'autre part grâce à un système à rotule.In Figures 1 and 1a the glazing elements have been referenced 1; these elements, that is to say the glass plates, of variable thickness, can be separated by seals 1 'a few mm thick. The fixing of this glazing on a load-bearing framework (not shown) is carried out on the one hand by means of non-swiveling clamping means of a rigid rod 2 on the elements 1, on the other hand thanks to a ball joint system.

Les moyens de serrage non rotulants comprennent un plot de façade 3 à tête élargie en forme de cône 9, engagé dans un alésage de forme correspondante 4-10 de la plaque de verre 1, avec interposition d'une bague de matière synthétique 11, par exemple en ERTALON ; la face extérieure de la tête 9 de ce plot 3 présente un poli miroir pour garantir l'esthétique de la façade, et comporte des petits alésages 9' permettant de l'immobiliser en rotation. Ce plot 3 possède un corps fileté 5 sur lequel est engagé un écrou de serrage 6, avec interposition d'une bague 12, par exemple également en ERTALON, cet écrou pouvant être entraîné en rotation grâce à des petits alésages 6', jusqu'à serrage du plot 3 sur la plaque 1.The non-swiveling clamping means comprise a front stud 3 with an enlarged cone-shaped head 9, engaged in a correspondingly shaped bore 4-10 in the glass plate 1, with the interposition of a ring of synthetic material 11, by example in ERTALON; the outer face of the head 9 of this pad 3 has a mirror polish to guarantee the aesthetics of the facade, and has small bores 9 'allowing it to immobilize in rotation. This stud 3 has a threaded body 5 on which is engaged a tightening nut 6, with the interposition of a ring 12, for example also in ERTALON, this nut being able to be driven in rotation thanks to small bores 6 ', up to tightening pad 3 on plate 1.

La tige rigide 2 est vissée jusqu'à la position voulue, par son extrémité filetée, dans un logement axial taraudé 7 du plot 3, et est fixée en position grâce à un contre-écrou 8 serré sur l'extrémité du corps fileté 5.The rigid rod 2 is screwed to the desired position, by its threaded end, in a threaded axial housing 7 of the stud 3, and is fixed in position by means of a lock nut 8 tightened on the end of the threaded body 5.

Dans le cas d'un double vitrage (figure 3), les moyens de serrage qui viennent d'être décrits sont tout à fait analogues, et leurs différents constituants ont donc été désignés par les mêmes références.In the case of double glazing (FIG. 3), the clamping means which have just been described are completely similar, and their various constituents have therefore been designated by the same references.

Le dispositif comporte en plus une entretoise de matière plastique 13 engagée sur le corps 5 du plot de façade 3, pour maintenir l'écartement voulu entre les deux plaques de verre 1a et 1b ; cette entretoise est entourée d'un joint d'étanchéité 14 et est munie sur ses deux faces d'un joint torique 36 et d'un remplissage de butyle 37.The device further comprises a plastic spacer 13 engaged on the body 5 of the facade stud 3, to maintain the desired spacing between the two glass plates 1a and 1b; this spacer is surrounded by a seal 14 and is provided on its two faces with an O-ring 36 and a butyl filling 37.

Le système rotulant peut être le même dans tous les cas ; il n'a donc été représenté que sur les figures 1 et 1b. Ce système comporte, à l'extrémité de la tige 2, une tête sphérique 15, maintenue dans une pièce de fixation 16. Cette pièce comporte une tête élargie 30, grâce à laquelle elle peut prendre appui contre l'extrémité d'une branche de plaque de fixation 23, lorsque son corps fileté 21 est engagé dans une ouverture 24 de cette plaque. L'assujettissement de cette pièce peut alors être assuré grâce à un écrou 22, bloqué en rotation sur le corps 21 grâce à une rondelle-frein 25. La pièce de fixation 16 comporte en outre un trou taraudé 17, terminé par une portée en forme de secteur sphérique 18 et dans lequel peut venir s'engager une vis 19, après engagement de la tige rigide 2 dans la pièce 16. Cette vis 19 portant en bout une calotte sphérique concave 20, on voit que son vissage dans le trou taraudé 17 permettra de freiner la rotation de la tête 15 dans son logement, ou du moins d'éviter l'existence de jeux autour de cette tête.The swiveling system can be the same in all cases; it has therefore only been shown in FIGS. 1 and 1b. This system comprises, at the end of the rod 2, a spherical head 15, held in a fixing piece 16. This piece has an enlarged head 30, by means of which it can bear against the end of a branch of fixing plate 23, when its threaded body 21 is engaged in an opening 24 of this plate. The securing of this part can then be ensured by means of a nut 22, locked in rotation on the body 21 by means of a locking washer 25. The fixing part 16 further comprises a threaded hole 17, terminated by a shaped bearing of spherical sector 18 and into which a screw 19 can engage, after engagement of the rigid rod 2 in the part 16. This screw 19 carrying at the end a concave spherical cap 20, it can be seen that its screwing in the tapped hole 17 will slow the rotation of the head 15 in its housing, or at least avoid the existence of games around this head.

Le trou 26 par lequel la tige 2 sort de la pièce 16 a la forme d'un cône évasé vers l'extérieur, dont l'angle d'ouverture, comme déjà indiqué plus haut, sera préférentiellement de l'ordre de 30°, ce qui donne à la tige 2 une grande latitude de débattement en conique, avec pour conséquence les avantages mentionnés plus haut.The hole 26 through which the rod 2 leaves the part 16 has the shape of a cone flared outwards, the angle of which opening, as already indicated above, will preferably be of the order of 30 °, which gives the rod 2 a great latitude of conical travel, with the consequence of the advantages mentioned above.

Un cache-poussière 28 en forme de rondelle souple, engagé sur la tige 2 et appliqué sur la pièce de fixation 16, permettra de protéger la rotule lors de ces débattements, et d'éviter ainsi les coincements.A dust cover 28 in the form of a flexible washer, engaged on the rod 2 and applied to the fixing part 16, will protect the ball joint during these movements, and thus avoid jamming.

La figure 2 montre une variante de système à rotule. Dans ce système, on utilise une pièce de fixation 16' fixée sur l'extrémité d'une plaque de fixation 23 grâce à une vis 31. La rotule 15 de la tige rigide 2 est emprisonnée dans la pièce 16' grâce à une vis 32 appliquant la rotule 15 contre un fond sphérique 33 de ladite pièce.Figure 2 shows a variant of the ball joint system. In this system, a fixing part 16 ′ is used which is fixed to the end of a fixing plate 23 by means of a screw 31. The ball joint 15 of the rigid rod 2 is trapped in the part 16 ′ by means of a screw 32 applying the ball 15 against a spherical bottom 33 of said part.

Comme dans le mode de réalisation précédent et dans le même but, la tige 2 sort de la vis 32 par un trou conique, référencé ici 26'.As in the previous embodiment and for the same purpose, the rod 2 comes out of the screw 32 through a conical hole, referenced here 26 '.

Sur la figure 4, on a schématisé le fait que les éléments de vitrage 1, jointifs, peuvent être reliés à la structure portante :

  • par des plaques de fixation en forme de croisillons 23 à quatre branches, analogues à celui qui est représenté aux figures 6a et 6b, ceci aux emplacements intérieurs en lesquels quatre éléments de vitrage 1 se rejoignent ;
  • par des plaques de fixation en forme de pattes 23' à deux branches, analogues à celle qui est représentée aux figures 5a et 5b, ceci aux emplacements extérieurs en lesquels seulement deux éléments de vitrage 1 se rejoignent ; et
  • directement, par des barres rigides analogues à la barre 27 de la figure 1, à l'emplacement des quatre angles du vitrage.
In FIG. 4, we have diagrammed the fact that the glazing elements 1, contiguous, can be connected to the bearing structure:
  • by cross-shaped fixing plates 23 with four branches, similar to that shown in FIGS. 6a and 6b, this at the interior locations in which four glazing elements 1 meet;
  • by fixing plates in the form of legs 23 ′ with two branches, similar to that which is shown in FIGS. 5a and 5b, this at the external locations in which only two glazing elements 1 meet; and
  • directly, by rigid bars similar to the bar 27 in FIG. 1, at the location of the four corners of the glazing.

Par suite, lesdites plaques de fixation 23 et 23' comportent :

  • des trous centraux 34 permettant de les relier à la structure porteuse par des barres rigides 27, serrées sur les plaques par des écrous 35 (figure 1) ; et
  • aux extrémités de leurs branches, des trous 24 et 24' ou 24'' pour la réception des pièces de fixation 16 ou 16', soit sans jeu (trous 24), soit avec jeu dans une direction verticale ou horizontale (trous 24'), soit encore avec un jeu dans toutes les directions (trous 24''), ceci procurant les avantages également mentionnés plus haut.
As a result, said fixing plates 23 and 23 ′ comprise:
  • central holes 34 making it possible to connect them to the supporting structure by rigid bars 27, tightened on the plates by nuts 35 (FIG. 1); and
  • at the ends of their branches, holes 24 and 24 'or 24''for the reception of fasteners 16 or 16', either without play (holes 24), or with play in a vertical or horizontal direction (holes 24 ') , or again with a play in all directions (24 '' holes), this providing the advantages also mentioned above.
