Abstract
Description
- This invention relates to a sealing or capping strip for covering the edges of a glazing panel or sheet of the type which might be used for the construction of green houses, conservatories, sun lounges, porches, roofs etc...
- The windows and roofs of conservatories, green houses, etc... are typically formed from double glazed panels, or from transparent or opaque cellular sheets of a thermoplastics material typically polycarbonate sheeting. The thermoplastics sheet material typically comprises twin walls with the two walls being spaced apart by ribs which extend between the walls. The ribs may be for example parallel ribs normal to the two walls, parallel ribs parallel to the two walls and/or or intersecting ribs which form a series of parallel corrugations or ribbings extending through the sheet. The wall and rib assembly therefore typically has the appearance of a multi-wall sheet formed with a series of parallel elongate cavities extending through the sheet and forming a light, cellular, relatively rigid sheet with good insulating properties.
- When formed from a transparent plastics material, such sheeting is particularly suitable for use as roofing panels or window panels in the construction of green houses, atriums, conservatories etc... The multi-wall sheets are typically supported within a metallic frame, usually an aluminium framework, and when used for roofing the elongate cavities within the sheet material may become filled with water, steam or other foreign material. To prevent the ingress of foreign bodies, it is common for the open edges of the sheet, which are usually arranged as the upper and lower edges on an inclined roof, to be covered in a U shaped cross-sectional capping or cover strip. The other closed edges may also be covered by extruded U shaped caps or alternatively adjacent sheets may be joined by means of extruded "H" section joining strips.
- The present invention provides an improved edge capping strip which is particularly useful with multi-walled cellular plastics sheeting.
- A sealing or capping strip for use with planar panels and which comprises an elongate body comprising a pair of arms linked together at their base to form an open channel and which in use fit over the edge margin of a planar panel inserted into the channel, characterised in that a deformable membrane extends between the two arms forming a compartment adjacent the base of the channel and in use the membrane deforms to accommodate the edge of a panel inserted between the arms.
- The capping strip preferably has a substantially "U" shaped cross-section.
- The membrane should be spaced from the base of the channel by a minimum gap of 1 mm and, preferably, by a minimum gap of 2.5 mm. The membrane is preferably convex towards the mouth of the channel and the compartment adjacent the base preferably has a height from said base which is by about 25% -40% of the distance between the two arms. The membrane may be formed from a resilient elastomeric material such as a polyurethane material and more preferably a thermoplastic polyurethane (TPU) or any other compatible thermoplastic materials.
- The capping strip is formed from a resilient plastics material, preferably a polycarbonate or a polyester, and the two arms are inclined inwardly towards each other at an angle, preferably of between 5-20° and, more preferably of between 5-8°, from a normal to the base. Preferably the membrane has side portions that are coextensive with and are secured to the distal end portions of the two arms. Preferably, the membrane is welded or co-extruded to the distal end portions of the arms by a distance of between 4 and 5 mm.
- According to a second aspect of the invention there is provided a method of sealing the edges of a panel, in particular a multi-walled thermoplastic glazing panel, in which at least one edge of the sheet is covered by a capping strip which comprises an elongate body comprising a pair of arms linked together at their base to form an open channel and which in use fit over the edge margin of the panel, and a deformable membrane extends between the two arms forming a compartment adjacent the base of the channel, and when the capping strip is pushed over said edge the membrane deforms to accommodate the edge of a panel inserted between the arms.
- The membrane comprises a resilient elastomer and the capping strip also seals against the side margins of the panel.
- The invention will be described by way of Example and with reference to the accompanying drawings in which:
- Fig. 1a
- is a transverse cross-section through a capping strip according to a first embodiment of the present invention,
- Fig. 1b
- is a transverse cross-section through a capping strip according to a second embodiment of the present invention,
- Fig. 1c
- shows transverse cross-sections through capping strips according to various embodiments of the present invention,
- Fig. 2
- is a plan view of an edge portion of a panel with the capping strip in situ, and
- Fig. 3
- is a section through the capping strip shown in situ mounted over the edge of a panel.
- With reference to Figs. 1 to 3 of the drawings there is shown a
capping strip 10 which in use is used for covering the edge of a multi-walled panel orsheet 11. - Multi-walled plastics glazing panels or sheets are well known and generally comprise two
external walls ribs 23 which also extend longitudinally through the panel or sheet to form side by side elongate cells 24 substantially parallel to each other. This construction gives the panel 11 a light rigid cellular structure having good thermal insulation properties. When formed from a transparent material such as polycarbonate theses types of panels or sheets are commonly used for roofs and walls of green houses, conservatories, sun lounges, porches, or other constructions and buildings. - The
capping strip 10 is a substantially "U"- cross-sectional elongate strip which may be extruded from polycarbonate or other suitable resilient plastics material. Thestrip 10 has twoarms base 14 to form an open mouthed channel. Thebase 14 is substantially flat and the twoarms capping strip 10. Onearm 12 may be longer than theother arm 13. - A
membrane 15 formed from a resilient elastomeric material extends between the twoarms 12 & 13. Themembrane 15 may take up a curved shape (or "U"- shape) which presents a convex form towards the mouth of the channel (Fig 1a) or a substantially flat shape (Fig 1b) or any other suitable shape (Fig. 1c). Themembrane 15 is preferably a transparent elastomer, for example a polyurethane rubber such as a thermoplastics polyurethane (TPU) and hasside portions distal end portions - Preferably, the
membrane 15 is spaced from thebase 14 of the strip by at least 1 mm (more preferably by at least 2.5 mm). More preferably, themembrane 15 is spaced from thebase 14 of the strip by a distance D which is between 25-40% of the width W of the base, and the channel within thecapping strip 10 is divided into two chambers by themembrane 15. - The dimensions of the
strip 10 will be varied according to the thickness of thepanel 11 to be capped. By way of example only 16 mm multi-walled polycarbonate sheet may utilise a capping strip of a nominal 17 mm width base witharm 12 being about 20 mm in length andarm 13 about 14 mm in length. - Figs. 2 & 3 show an edge margin of a panel or
sheet 11 covered with a length ofcapping strip 10. In use, thestrip 10 will typically cover the open edge of apanel 11, that is the edge open to the elongate cells 24. The edge margin of apanel 11 is pushed into the channel formed between the two resilientlybiased arms 12 & 13 with thelonger arm 12 shown on the upper side of the panel. Theedge 25 of the strip is pushed against thedeformable membrane 15 which distorts to accommodate thepanel 11, limits the insertion of thepanel 11 into thecapping strip 10, and seats against the edge of the strip. - The
resilient arms 12 & 13 press theside portions 16 & 17 of the membrane against thesidewalls chamber 26 formed between thebase 14 of the strip and themembrane 15 may serve to conduct water away from the panel orsheet 11. Themembrane 15 may also serve to protect the open edges of the panel orsheet 11 from dust or moisture.
