Patent documents WO2008139003A1 , WO20101 12634A1 and ES2431264A1 , all of them being patent applications belonging to the present applicant, disclose various solutions for the type of fagade cladding referred to in the invention. Although these solutions, applied to different types of installations and environments, offer satisfactory results, they can be improved in terms of the ease and versatility they allow when installing the panels in a fagade structure.
Description of the invention
The purpose of the invention is to provide a fagade cladding system of the type indicated above, allowing an easier installation of panels in a fagade structure and such that the position of the panels can be regulated in height.
This purpose is achieved by means of a fagade cladding system of the type indicated above, characterized in that the resting part comprises at least two resting sides, suitable to allow said resting part to rest on the bottom of the cradle of the support profile alternatively through each of said resting sides, and in that the through hole snugly receiving the rod is at a different distance from at least two of said resting sides.
As a result of this particular configuration, when the resting part rests through one of its resting sides on the bottom of the cradle of the support profile, the through hole is in a predetermined vertical position with respect to said support profile, whereas when the resting part rests through another one of its resting sides, it is in another different predetermined vertical position. The installation technician can thereby easily adjust the vertical position of the panel, by arranging either of the resting sides of the resting part facing the cradle of the support profile for that purpose. Furthermore, since the different possible vertical positions of the panel are predetermined, each position therefore correspond to a resting side of the resting part, the vertical position of the panel is not adjusted by means of tightening the parts, like in the prior art, so the position of the installed panel will not be imprecise. The system according to the invention assures that the panel is always perfectly horizontal to the support profile, and it however allows easily adjusting the height thereof by choosing from several predetermined values corresponding to each different resting side of the resting part.
In the present document, the term "fagade structure" means any structure which itself forms a fagade or is installed in a fagade, including the actual outer wall of a fagade as well as a structure consisting of bars fixed to an outer wall of the fagade, such as in the embodiments described herein, or other similar structures. On the other hand, the terms "vertical", horizontal", "downward", "upward", etc., apply to the position of the cladding system when assembled in a fagade structure.
Preferred embodiments the features of which are described in the dependent claims have been envisaged based on the invention defined in the main claim. Preferably, the resting part has at least four resting sides, more preferably six resting sides, suitable to allow said resting part to be supported on the bottom of the cradle alternatively through each of said resting sides, and the through hole is at a different distance from at least four, more preferably six, of said resting sides. The installation technician can thereby choose from at least four, more preferably six, different predetermined vertical positions of the panel.
In the preferred embodiments, the resting part is a flat plate having a uniform thickness fitting into the cradle of the support profile. Resting part manufacture, storage and transport is made easier. Furthermore, the resting part thus formed is easier for the installation technician to handle during the process of installing the panels on a fagade structure.
Preferably, the resting part is a flat plate with polygon shape and, advantageously, each of the sides of said polygon is a resting side suitable to allow the resting part to rest on the bottom of the cradle.
In some envisaged embodiments, said polygon is a quadrangle.
In other preferred embodiments, said polygon is a hexagon. In an envisaged configuration, said polygon is a regular polygon and the through hole is arranged in an eccentric position with respect to the center of said regular polygon.
In another envisaged configuration, said polygon is an irregular polygon. Preferably, an identifying mark is made in the resting part next to at least some of the resting sides, the identifying mark next to a resting side being different from the identifying mark next to another resting side which is at a different distance from said through hole. As a result of these identifying marks, the installation technician can correctly orient the resting part to place the panel in the desired predetermined vertical position when installing the panels in a fagade structure.
Preferably, the identifying marks are formed by one or more perforations made in the resting part, said identifying marks being different from one another in number or the shape of the perforations forming them. The use of perforations as a solution for making the identifying marks assures that these marks are always clearly visible to the installation technician, which is a considerable advantage, taking into account that the process of installing the panels on a fagade structure can be performed in difficult conditions. This solution provides greater safety than panels marked by printing or engraving, which may not be clearly visible to the installation technician if the resting part is dirty or when the angle of incidence of the light is not favorable. Furthermore, it allows the resting part to have two identical main faces, so the installation technician does not have to concern themselves in orienting the resting part, the identifying marks being likewise visible from any of the two faces.
Preferably, the fagade cladding system according to the invention comprises an anti- seismic device to prevent upward vertical movement of the panels when they are supported by the support profiles through the resting part that rests on the bottom of the cradle. This anti-seismic device comprises a securing part which is fixed to the rod and embraces, from below, the end of the cantilevered portion of the support profile forming the cradle, and from above, an upper side of the resting part. In the event of a seismic tremor, the securing part cannot move upwards because its upper side abuts against the resting part which in turn abuts against the end of the cantilevered portion of the support profile. This solution has the advantage of being simple, secure and easy to install.
In a preferred embodiment which allows easily installing the securing part by sliding it laterally, said securing part is a C-shaped sheet, with a web provided with a groove open only on one side into which the rod is laterally inserted, and two wings which extend orthogonally from said web and are arranged right below the end of the cantilevered portion of the support profile and right above the upper side of the resting part, respectively. Preferably, each of these wings of the securing part is bent at its end forming a hook, such that each hook of the corresponding wing is respectively coupled to the end of the cantilevered portion of the support profile and to the upper side of the resting part. A particularly robust securing is thereby achieved. Furthermore, the hooks formed in the wings of the securing part make installation of the securing part easier because they allow leaving it hanging from the cradle while performing other operations, and they also allow sliding it laterally in a guided manner when it is coupled to the end of the cantilevered portion of the support profile and to the upper side of the resting part.
The invention also comprises other detail features illustrated in the detailed description of several embodiments of the invention and in the attached drawings.

Detailed Description of Several Embodiments of the Invention
Figures 1 and 2 show a panel 4 of the type used in the fagade covering system according to the invention. In the preferred embodiments shown in the drawings, the panels 4 are flat rectangular panels made of cement mortar and provided with a prestressed biaxial reinforcement 20 therein. The panels 4 are provided with metal sleeves 5 which are embedded in the cement mortar mass of the panel and are placed in the panel before the setting phase. As can be seen in Figure 3, the sleeves 5 are arranged forming a regular rectangular frame along the length and width of the panel 4. Figures 1 and 2 show in greater detail the shape of these sleeves 5 and their arrangement in the panel 4. Each sleeve 5 is formed by a cylindrical body having at one end a threaded blind hole 6 and at the other end retaining flanges for retaining the sleeve 5 in the cement mortar mass, and a transverse channel to allow the passage of a rod of the reinforcement 20. The mouth of the hole 6 of the sleeve 5 is flushed with the face 7 of the panel 4 facing the fagade structure 2 when the panel 4 is installed on the fagade structure 2, in the position shown in Figures 3 and 4. Figure 3 as a whole shows a fagade cladding system according to the invention, with the panels 4 assembled next to one another in a fagade structure 2, arranged parallel to said fagade structure 2 and spaced from same, such that they form a discontinuous cladding away from the fagade structure 2. For greater clarity, the drawing depicts a single whole panel 4, as well as a part of an adjacent panel 4 on the right. In real world applications, the cladding is formed by a plurality of panels 4 arranged next to one another both in the horizontal direction and vertical direction, as many panels 4 as required being arranged for covering the desired fagade surface.
As can be seen in Figure 3, in the example described herein the fagade structure 2 is formed by profiles having C-shaped section, arranged vertically in the fagade of a building
(not depicted) and separated from one another with a regular distance. In fact, it is also possible to use structure profiles of other shapes. It is also possible to dispense with structure profiles and to install the panels, through the support profiles, directly on the outer wall of a fagade, thereby having the function of a "fagade structure" according to the invention.
The panels 4 are installed in the fagade structure 2 by means of support profiles 1 which are fixed thereto, preferably by means of self-tapping screws 22, and resting arrangements 8 through which the panels 4 rest on said support profiles 1 so that they can hang from same.
The support profiles 1 are made from cold-formed galvanized steel sheet. Nevertheless, they can also be made from other materials, such as for example, stainless steel, anodized aluminum, duraluminum, etc. As can be seen in Figure 6, these support profiles 1 comprise a base portion 1 a in the form of a flat sheet intended for being applied against the fagade structure 2 and a cantilevered portion 1 b forming at its end a cradle 3. The cantilevered portion 1 b is formed by a first straight segment extending obliquely downwards from the upper end of the base portion 1 a and forming a cradle 3 at the end thereof. In a side view, the cradle 3 has a rectangular shape open on the upper side, with a higher outer vertical side than an inner vertical side, and in which a lower horizontal side forms a flat bottom 19 of the cradle 3 forming a seat for the resting part 10 described below. Optionally, reinforcement parts 21 schematically depicted in Figure 4 can be envisaged, said reinforcement parts 21 resting in the lower portion on a horizontal flange 23 of the support profile 1 while receiving on the other upper portion the lower end of the cradle 3, supporting same. The purpose of these reinforcement parts 21 is to prevent the cantilevered portion 1 b of the support profile 1 from bending under the weight of the panel 4. Figure 15 shows a possible embodiment of a reinforcement part 21 having a flat base 24 which is applied against the base portion 1 a of the support profile 1 and wings 25 fitting snugly in the upper portion thereof in the free space between the base portion 1 a and the cantilevered portion 1 b of the support profile 1 and forming in the lower portion thereof a seat 26 for the resting of the lower end of the cradle 3. This reinforcement part 21 is fixed to the fagade structure by means of a screw through the base portion 1 a of the support profile
1 .
Figures 5 and 7 show a resting arrangement 8 comprising a threaded rod 9, sized for being screwed into the holes 6 of the sleeves 5 of the panels 4, and a resting part 10 which is fixed to said rod 9 and through which the panels 4 rest on the support profiles 1 . The resting part 10 is provided with a through hole 1 1 (see Figures 9-1 1 ) snugly receiving the rod 9, such that the vertical position of the through hole 1 1 with respect to a resting side 17 of the resting part 10, through which the resting part 10 rests on the bottom 19 of the cradle 3, defines the vertical position of the panel 4 with respect to the support profile 1 .
The system comprises fixing means for forming an integral assembly formed by a panel 4 and the resting arrangements 8 fixed thereto. These fixing means as a whole allow regulating a gap between each resting part 10 and the panel 4 to which it is fixed through the rod 9. These fixing means are shown in detail particularly in Figure 5, showing in a side view a resting arrangement 8 fixed to a panel 4. First fixing means for fixing the rod 9 to the sleeve 5 when it is inserted into the hole 6 of said sleeve 5 are formed by the inner thread 12 of the hole 6, the thread 13 of the rod 9 and a nut 14 which is screwed onto said rod 9 and applied against the face 7 of the panel 4 to lock the position of the rod 9 screwed into the hole 6. Second fixing means for fixing the resting part 10 to the rod 9 are formed by two nuts 15, 16 which are screwed onto the rod 9 and applied against the two opposite faces of the resting part 10 with said rod 9 going through same through the through hole 1 1 . Figures 9, 10 and 1 1 combined with Figures 7 and 8 show different embodiments of the resting part 10. In these embodiments, the resting part 10 is a flat polyhedral-shaped plate preferably made of stainless steel, with a uniform thickness such that it fits into the cradle 3 of the support profile 1 . The resting part 10 thus formed has several resting sides 17, through each of which said resting part 10 can rest on the bottom 19 of the cradle 3. The through hole 1 1 is at a different distance from the different resting sides 17. As a result, the installation technician can easily adjust the relative vertical position of the panel 4. To that end, turning the resting part 10 around the rod 9 is enough for choosing the resting side 17 through which said resting part 10 rests on the bottom 19 of the cradle 3. Furthermore, in the embodiments depicted in Figures 9 to 1 1 , the resting part 10 is provided with different identifying marks performed next to the different resting sides 17. Each identifying mark 18 next to a resting side 17 is different from the identifying mark 18 next to another resting side 17 which is at a different distance from the through hole 1 1 . The purpose of these identifying marks 18 is to help the installation technician to choose the resting side 17 suitable for the vertical position the panel 4 must have. In the depicted embodiments, the identifying marks 18 consist of one or more perforations. The identifying marks 18 differ from one another in number or the shape of the perforations forming them. In the embodiment of Figure 9, the plate forming the resting part 10 has a rectangle shape, and the through hole 1 1 is in the center of the rectangle, such that this resting part 10 has four resting sides 17, but only two of them are at a different distance from said through hole 1 1 and differentiated from one another by the respective identifying marks 18. Figure 12 shows the two positions of the resting part 10, resting respectively through each of the two resting sides 17 thereof providing through hole 1 1 having different heights.
In the embodiment of Figure 10, the plate forming the resting part 10 has a square shape, and the through hole 1 1 is in an eccentric position with respect to the two axes of the square, such that this resting part 10 has four resting sides 17, all of them at a different distance from the through hole 1 1 and differentiated from one another by the respective identifying marks 18. Figure 13 shows the four positions of the resting part 10, resting respectively through each of the four resting sides 17 thereof providing through hole 1 1 having different heights.
In the embodiment of Figure 1 1 , the plate forming the resting part 10 has an irregular hexagon shape, and the through hole 1 1 is located such that this resting part 10 has six resting sides 17, all of them at a different distance from the through hole 1 . It will be observed that in the depicted example there are two resting sides 17 that do not have identifying marks 18. However, the installation technician can differentiate these two resting sides 17 as a result of the position of the other resting sides 17 that indeed have identifying marks 18. Figure 14 shows the six positions of the resting part 10, resting respectively through each of the six resting sides 17 thereof providing through hole 1 1 having different heights.
Figures 15 and 16 show an anti-seismic device which is advantageously applied to the fagade system according to the invention to prevent the panels 4, supported by the support profiles 1 through the resting part 10 that rests on the bottom 19 of the cradle 3, from moving upwards in the event of a seismic tremor. Although the panel 4 has not been depicted in Figure 15 to make it easier to understand the anti-seismic device, it is understood that the panel 4 is fixed to the threaded rod 9 such as described above and as shown in Figures 4 and 5. The anti-seismic device consists of a securing part 27 which, in the depicted example, is formed by a C-shaped sheet, with a web 28 provided with a groove 30 open only on one side and two wings 29 which extend orthogonally from said web 28 and are bent at their end forming a hook 31 . As can be seen in Figure 15, this securing part 27 is arranged such that it embraces, from below, the end of the cantilevered portion 1 b of the support profile 1 forming the cradle 3, and from above, an upper side of the resting part 10. More accurately, the lower wing 29 is arranged right below the end of the cantilevered portion 1 b of the support profile 1 , with its hook 31 coupled to said end, whereas the upper wing 29 is arranged right above the upper side of the resting part 10, with its hook 31 coupled to said upper side. The securing part 27 is placed by lateral translation given that the web 28 is provided with a groove 30 open only on one side into which the threaded rod 9 is laterally inserted. As seen in Figure 15, the securing part 27 is fixed to the threaded rod 9 by means of a screw.
