Description

La présente invention est relative à une armature de support pour un panneau vitré, du genre de ceux qui forment la surface extérieure d'une façade d'immeuble ou analogue, dite à mur rideau, laquelle comporte de façon bien connue dans la technique une ossature rigide formée de montants verticaux et de traverses horizontales qui délimitent entre eux des alvéoles dans lesquels sont placés et immobilisés ces panneaux.The present invention relates to an armature of support for a glazed panel, of the kind of those which form the outer surface of a facade building or the like, called a curtain wall, which comprises in a manner well known in the art a rigid frame formed of vertical uprights and horizontal ties that delimit between them cells in which are placed and immobilized these panels.

Une armature de support de ce type est connue du document GB-A-2170255.A support frame of this type is known from GB-A-2170255.

Selon le cas, ces panneaux sont appliqués contre le fond de chaque alvéole pour former la façade du mur rideau, en étant immobilisés, soit par collage sur des barrettes de fixation portées par l'ossature et disposées au voisinage de ses bords à la périphérie de chaque panneau, soit par maintien à l'aide d'un organe presseur qui comporte un rebord ou retour en appui contre la surface extérieure du panneau et qui repousse celui-ci contre les montants et traverses de l'ossature dans chaque alvéole.Depending on the case, these panels are applied against the bottom of each cell to form the facade of the curtain wall, being immobilized, either by gluing on mounting bars carried by the frame and arranged in the vicinity of its edges on the periphery of each panel, either maintaining using a pressure member which has a flange or return bearing against the outer surface of the panel and which repels this one against the uprights and crosspieces of the framework in each cell.

Or, les montants et traverses de cette ossature, généralement formés des profilés métalliques creux, sont conducteurs de la chaleur (ou du froid), entre l'extérieur du panneau au contact de l'atmosphère externe et l'intérieur de l'immeuble, de l'autre côté de la façade qui constitue le mur rideau.However, the amounts and crosspieces of this framework, generally formed metal profiles hollow, are conductors of heat (or cold), between the outside of the panel in contact with the external atmosphere and the interior of the building, on the other side of the facade that constitutes the wall curtain.

Il est donc particulièrement utile de concevoir l'ossature de support des panneaux vitrés, notamment les profilés métalliques des montants et traverses qui délimitent les alvéoles recevant ces panneaux, en faisant comporter à ces profilés des moyens permettant de réaliser une rupture efficace du « pont thermique » à la traversée de ces profilés, de manière à améliorer l'isolation thermique de l'ensemble.It is therefore particularly useful to design the supporting framework of the glazed panels, in particular the metal profiles of the uprights and sleepers that delimit the cells receiving these panels, by making these profiles means to achieve an effective break from the "thermal bridge" to crossing these profiles, in order to improve the insulation thermal of the whole.

Dans ce but, l'armature de support considérée, pour panneaux vitrés de façade de mur rideau, comportant une ossature formée de traverses horizontales et de montants verticaux constitués de profilés métalliques creux délimitant entre eux des alvéoles de réception des panneaux vitrés, se caractérise selon l'invention en ce que chaque profilé comporte un premier évidement longitudinal dans lequel est disposée une première barrette réalisée en un matériau isolant, et assurant une rupture de pont thermique dans la paroi du profilé et en ce que les profilés des montants ou traverses de l'ossature comportent un deuxième évidement longitudinal dans lequel est disposée au moins une deuxième barrette réalisée en un matériau isolant, plastique, du genre polyamide ou similaire, cette deuxième barrette étant appliquée contre le panneau vitré et étant constituée d'un élément creux comportant une première paroi munie, selon ses bords latéraux, de saillies d'immobilisation vis-à-vis de chacun des profilés métalliques respectifs d'un montant ou d'une traverse, propres à s'engager dans des rainures respectivement prévues dans lesdits profilés et une seconde paroi, parallèle à la première, débordant légèrement du profilé métallique creux et contre laquelle est destiné à s'appliquer le bord du panneau vitré, lesdites première et deuxième barrettes assurant une rupture de pont thermique à la traversée du profilé.For this purpose, the support frame considered, for curtain wall facade glazing panels, having a framework formed of sleepers horizontal and vertical hollow metal profiles defining between them receiving cells of the glazed panels, is characterized according to the invention in that each profile has a first recess longitudinal axis in which a first bar made of an insulating material, and providing a thermal break in the wall of the profile and in that the profiles of the amounts or frame cross members include a second longitudinal recess in which is disposed at least a second bar made in one insulating material, plastic, of the polyamide or similar, this second bar being applied against the glass panel and being consisting of a hollow element comprising a first wall provided, according to its lateral edges, projections of immobilization vis-à-vis each of respective metal sections of an amount or of a crossing, suitable for engaging in grooves respectively provided in said profiles and a second wall parallel to the first, slightly overhanging the profile hollow metal and against which is intended to apply the edge of the glazed panel, the said first and second bars providing a thermal break at the crossing of the profile.

Selon une caractéristique particulière de l'armature de support selon l'invention, chaque deuxième barrette s'étend sur tout ou partie de la hauteur du profilé qui la reçoit dans l'évidement longitudinal de celui-ci.According to a particular characteristic of the support frame according to the invention, each second bar extends over all or part of the height the profile that receives it in the recess longitudinal of it.

De préférence, la seconde paroi de l'élément creux de la deuxième barrette forme une surface d'appui contre laquelle est appliqué et collé le bord du panneau par l'intermédiaire d'une couche d'un mastic de collage.Preferably, the second wall of the hollow element of the second bar forms a bearing surface against which is applied and glued the edge of the panel through a layer of a putty of bonding.

Avantageusement, le mastic de collage est constitué par une colle polymérisable.Advantageously, the adhesive sealant is consisting of a polymerizable adhesive.

Dans une autre variante de réalisation, la seconde paroi de l'élément creux de la deuxième barrette comporte un joint d'étanchéité, appliqué étroitement contre la surface en regard du panneau par l'intermédiaire d'un organe d'appui comportant un retour qui porte contre la surface opposée du panneau.In another variant embodiment, the second wall of the hollow element of the second bar comprises a seal, applied tightly against the surface facing the panel by via a support member comprising a back that bears against the opposite surface of the sign.

De préférence, le joint d'étanchéité est un joint comportant une pluralité de lèvres, qui sont partiellement écrasées contre la surface en regard du panneau.Preferably, the seal is a seal having a plurality of lips, which are partially crushed against the facing surface of the panel.

D'autres caractéristiques d'une armature de support pour panneau vitré, établie conformément à l'invention, apparaítrons encore à travers la description qui suit de deux exemples de réalisation, donnés à titre indicatif et non limitatif, en référence aux dessins annexés sur lesquels :

  • La Figure 1 est une vue en perspective, illustrant schématiquement une ossature de mur rideau supportant des panneaux vitrés.
  • La Figure 2 est une vue en coupe transversale à plus grande échelle d'un premier mode de réalisation de l'armature de support de ces panneaux.
  • La Figure 3 est une vue, également en coupe transversale, d'une variante de réalisation.
Other characteristics of a support frame for a glazed panel, established in accordance with the invention, will appear further through the following description of two exemplary embodiments, given by way of non-limiting indication, with reference to the appended drawings in which: :
  • Figure 1 is a perspective view, schematically illustrating a curtain wall frame supporting glazed panels.
  • Figure 2 is a cross-sectional view on a larger scale of a first embodiment of the support frame of these panels.
  • Figure 3 is a view, also in cross section, of an alternative embodiment.

Sur la Figure 1, la référence 1 désigne dans son ensemble une armature de support pour façade de mur rideau, appliquée contre le gros oeuvre 2 d'un immeuble ou d'une construction analogue, cette armature étant constituée de façon en elle-même connue d'une ossature métallique formée par un ensemble de traverses horizontales 3 et de montants verticaux 4, délimitant entre eux des alvéoles 5.In Figure 1, the reference 1 designates as a whole a support frame for curtain wall facade, applied against the structural work 2 of a building or a analogous construction, this reinforcement consisting of way in itself known of a formed metal framework by a set of horizontal crosspieces 3 and uprights 4, delimiting between them cavities 5.

Sur l'armature de support 1 ainsi constituée, sont rapportés des panneaux 6, usuellement vitrés et généralement constitués de deux vitres parallèles 6a et 6b, entretoisées mutuellement par une cale périphérique 6c, comme illustré à plus grande échelle sur les Figures 2 et 3.On the support armature 1 thus formed, are reported panels 6, usually glazed and generally consist of two parallel windows 6a and 6b, mutually braced by a peripheral shim 6c, as shown on a larger scale in FIGS. 3.

Les panneaux vitrés 6 sont disposés dans les alvéoles 5 de l'armature 1, de manière à ce que vue de l'extérieur, la façade du mur rideau forme une paroi vitrée pratiquement continue sur toute sa surface.The glazed panels 6 are arranged in the cells 5 of the frame 1, so that from the outside, the Curtain wall facade forms a virtually glazed wall continues on all its surface.

Les Figures 2 et 3 illustrent à plus grande échelle, selon deux modes de réalisation différents des dispositions conformes à l'invention, des sections transversales de l'armature au droit d'un montant vertical, lequel est dans ces exemples, formé au moyen de deux profilés métalliques voisins et parallèles, repérés sur ces figures par les références 4a et 4b.Figures 2 and 3 illustrate on a larger scale, according to two different embodiments of the provisions according to the invention, cross-sections of the frame to the right of a vertical upright, which is in these examples, formed by means of two metal profiles neighbors and parallels, identified in these figures by the references 4a and 4b.

Entre ces profilés 4a et 4b, est avantageusement disposé un cache extérieur 7, immobilisé vis-à-vis de ces profilés à l'aide d'une vis 8, ce cache comportant des joints d'étanchéité 9a et 9b, étroitement appliqués contre les côtés en regard des profilés. En outre, dans l'espace intermédiaire 10 qui les sépare, les profilés 4a et 4b comportent des paires de joints à lèvres, respectivement 11a, 11b, et 12a, 12b, qui s'appliquent mutuellement l'un contre l'autre pour assurer l'étanchéité relative entre l'intérieur et l'extérieur de l'armature.Between these profiles 4a and 4b, is advantageously arranged a outer cover 7, immobilized vis-à-vis these profiles to using a screw 8, this cover with seals 9a and 9b, tightly applied against the sides facing the profiles. In addition, in space intermediate 10 which separates them, the sections 4a and 4b have pairs of lip seals, respectively 11a, 11b, and 12a, 12b, which apply mutually to each other against each other to ensure relative sealing between the inside and the outside of the frame.

La réalisation de la structure du cache, des moyens d'immobilisation de celui-ci vis-à-vis du montant et des joints d'étanchéité précités, est en elle-même bien connue pour ce type d'armature de support de façade à mur rideau et n'importe pas directement à l'invention, de sorte qu'il n'est pas nécessaire d'en donner ici une description plus détaillée.The realization of the structure of the cache, means of immobilisation of the latter in respect of the amount and the aforementioned seals, is in itself well known for this type of curtain wall façade support frame and does not directly matter to the invention, so that it it is not necessary to give a description here more Detailed.

Si les deux profilés 4a et 4b qui forment le montant vertical 4 sont réalisés en un matériau métallique, notamment du genre de l'aluminium, on conçoit qu'ils assurent une bonne transmission thermique entre le côté de l'armature dirigé vers l'extérieur de la façade et l'intérieur, du côté du gros oeuvre 2 de la construction.If both sections 4a and 4b form the amount vertical 4 are made of a metallic material, particularly of the kind of aluminum, it is conceivable that they ensure a good thermal transmission between the side of the frame directed outward of the facade and inside, on the side of structural work 2 of the construction.

Pour pallier cet inconvénient, l'invention prévoit de munir le montant vertical 4, en l'espèce les deux profilés voisins 4a et 4b qui constituent celui-ci, de moyens qui assurent une rupture de pont thermique à la traversée de ces profilés métalliques, notamment au droit des panneaux vitrés 6 et plus particulièrement encore du bord périphérique de chacun de ceux-ci qui s'applique contre le montant.To overcome this drawback, the invention provides for providing the vertical amount 4, in this case the two profiles neighbors 4a and 4b which constitute this one, means which ensure a thermal break at the crossing of these metal profiles, especially to the right of the panels glazed 6 and more particularly from the edge device of each of these that applies against the amount.

A cet effet, chaque profilé 4a, 4b comporte un évidement longitudinal 13, dans lequel est disposé et immobilisé vis-à-vis du profilé, une barrette formée d'un élément creux 14, en un matériau isolant thermique, notamment réalisé en matière plastique et de préférence en polyamide.For this purpose, each profile 4a, 4b has a recess longitudinal 13, in which is arranged and immobilized vis-à-vis of the profile, a bar formed of a hollow element 14, in a thermal insulating material, in particular made of plastic material and preferably polyamide.

Cet élément creux 14 comporte une première paroi 15, disposée vers l'intérieur du profilé métallique et munie à ses extrémités de saillies 16 permettant d'immobiliser la barrette dans l'évidemment 13 et de la sertir rigidement vis-à-vis du profilé 4a (ou 4b) correspondant dans des gorges 17, de même profil.This hollow element 14 comprises a first wall 15, disposed inwardly of the metal section and provided with its ends of projections 16 to immobilize the bar in the obviously 13 and crimp it rigidly vis-à-vis the corresponding section 4a (or 4b) in grooves 17, of the same profile.

L'élément creux 14 comporte une seconde paroi 18, parallèle à la première paroi 15 et aménagée de manière à déborder légèrement du contour apparent du profilé 4a, cette seconde paroi étant disposée en regard du panneau vitré 6 et notamment d'une de ses vitres 6a, orientée.The hollow element 14 comprises a second wall 18, parallel at the first wall 15 and arranged so as to overflow slightly of the apparent contour of the profile 4a, this second wall being arranged opposite the glazed panel 6 and in particular one of its windows 6a, oriented.

Dans la variante illustrée sur la Figure 2, la seconde paroi 18 de l'élément creux 14 joue le rôle d'une plaquette de collage contre laquelle est étroitement appliquée la vitre 6a, avec interposition entre elles d'une faible épaisseur d'un mastic de collage qui, après polymérisation, solidarise rigidement le panneau 6 et le profilé métallique 4a de l'armature de support.In the variant shown in Figure 2, the second wall 18 of the hollow element 14 plays the role of a plate collage against which is closely applied the window 6a, with the interposition between them of a weak thickness of a bonding putty which, after polymerization, rigidly secures the panel 6 and the metal section 4a of the support frame.

Dans cette même variante, le profilé 4a est avantageusement muni d'une parclose extérieure 20 comportant un rebord 21 supportant en bout un joint 22 qui vient ainsi s'appuyer contre la vitre opposée 6b du panneau 6 préalablement collé contre l'élément creux 14 de la barrette.In this same variant, the section 4a is advantageously provided with an outer bead 20 having a flange 21 end-supporting a seal 22 which is thus supported against the opposite window 6b of the panel 6 previously glued against the hollow element 14 of the bar.

Dans la variante illustrée sur la Figure 3, on a repris les mêmes chiffres de référence pour désigner des organes semblables à ceux qui sont représentés sur la Figure 2, l'élément creux 14 de la barrette assurant la rupture de pont thermique à la traversée du profilé 4a (4b) n'étant pas collé contre la vitre 6a du panneau 6, mais étroitement appliqué contre celle-ci avec interposition d'un joint d'étanchéité 23 comportant une pluralité de lèvres 24, 25, 26, qui s'appuient et s'écrasent contre la vitre.In the variant shown in Figure 3, the following same reference numbers to designate organs similar to those shown in Figure 2, the hollow element 14 of the bar ensuring the breaking of thermal bridge at the crossing of the section 4a (4b) not being not glued against the window 6a of the panel 6, but narrowly applied against it with the interposition of a joint sealing member 23 comprising a plurality of lips 24, 25, 26, who lean and crash against the glass.

Dans cette variante, la parclose 20 joue le rôle d'organe d'appui, en assurant le maintien du panneau 6 appliqué contre le montant 4.In this variant, the bead 20 acts as an organ support, ensuring the maintenance of the applied panel 6 against the amount 4.

On réalise ainsi une armature de support à rupture de pont thermique dans une ossature pour façade de mur rideau, de conception très simple et qui présente une très grande efficacité.A support structure with a bridge break is thus produced in a frame for curtain wall facade, from very simple design and that presents a very large efficiency.

Le matériau qui constitue l'élément creux de la barrette peut être variable d'une application à l'autre en fonction de la performance thermique recherchée et des sollicitations mécaniques exercées sur l'ossature par les panneaux qu'elle supporte.The material that constitutes the hollow element of the bar may vary from application to application the desired thermal performance and mechanical stresses exerted on the framework by the panels that it supports.

Dès lors, il va de soi que l'invention ne se limite pas aux exemples envisagés, mais qu'elle en embrasse au contraire toutes les variantes entrant dans le cadre des revendications ci-annexées.Therefore, it goes without saying that the invention is not limited to examples envisaged, but that it embraces the contrary all the variants falling within the scope of the appended claims.
