Abstract

Glass facade (1) with glass panels (2-5) held by supports (6-14) on a building and either forming a building exterior wall or preceded by a protective exterior wall (15), the glass panels (2 3, 4, 5) vertical rows of glass panels (16) in the direction of depth (18) overlap each other in the manner of roof tiles or shingles so that a horizontally extending overlapping area (22) is present in the widthwise direction (20) is, but wherein the glass sheets (2-5) do not touch directly and thus have a mutual depth distance (21), characterized in that also the glass sheets (2, 4, 3, 5) horizontal glass sheet rows (17) in the Depth direction (18) seen overlap each other in the manner of roof tiles or shingles, so that a vertically extending overlap region (24) in the height direction (19) is present, but the glass sheets (2-5) do not touch directly and thus have a mutual depth distance (23).

Description

The The invention relates to a glass facade with glass panels according to the preamble of the protection claim 1, wherein the glass panels by the carrier to be held on a building and a building exterior wall forming or protecting a building exterior wall upstream, with the glass panels of vertical glass panel rows seen in front view each other in the manner of roof tiles or shingles overlap or overlap each other but do not touch directly.

such Glass facades placed on the outer wall of the building serve on the one hand a thermal insulation, on the other hand also for protection against weathering and other mechanical damage. This can reduce the heating costs, but also the maintenance costs, the building exterior wall only rarely, if ever repainted or even new must be plastered.

The DE 10307866 A1 discloses a generic glass facade of frameless laid and scaly overlapping glass panels, disk holders are provided with support surfaces, on each of which rests the lower edge of an upper glass panel. The disc holders have projecting and projecting from the building substructure support rods which pass through holes in the upper corners of the lower glass panels, the lower glass panel is secured against displacement in the axial direction of the rod, and at the from the building substructure facing away from carrying parts are releasably secured, which have the support surface for the lower edge of the upper glass sheet.

The EP 1136632 B1 discloses a generic glass facade made of glass panels, which are successively arranged in a scale overlapping from top to bottom along the facade. Furthermore, a double and a quadruple holder for the storage of two or four glass panels are disclosed.

disadvantage the aforementioned generic glass facades Made of glass panels is that only vertically stacked Glass panels overlap and protect from rain, However, horizontally arranged side by side glass panels a certain Distance from each other, since the steel or Aluminum existing support structure exposed to thermal expansion and thus the glass panels will be damaged if left without Game push and push are put.

task The present invention is therefore a generic Glass facade made of glass panels to continue to form such that the tightness is significantly improved against the weather, without that the glass facade is much more expensive.

to Solution of the task serve the features of the protection claim 1. Further developments are the subject of the dependent claims.

Essential it is that the overlapping, d. H. overlap the glass panels in both the horizontal and vertical direction he follows.

advantage is that there are no more vertical joints and thus the Rainproofness is significantly improved, as well as the protection against dirt particles and mechanical damage of the if necessary, underlying building exterior wall or in the building (eg vehicles in a high garage). In addition, this construction is very inexpensive, there anyway four breakpoints or support per glass panel available then only in the present invention at a distance to the building exterior wall or to a building support element have to vary.

in this connection can the scaling or overlap of the horizontal glass panel rows also like the vertical rows of glass slanted at a defined constant angle of z. B. 5 ° take place (from left to right falling or ascending), or the horizontal glass panel rows can also without skew on two, three or four different planes parallel at a distance from each other or to the building exterior wall or to an imaginary one Be arranged vertically.

Prefers regardless of whether the glass panels are sloping or parallel to the building exterior wall or to the imaginary Verticals when the scaling or overlapping, such that the vertical and the horizontal glass panels overlap alternately or interlock. It is therefore at two adjacent to each other vertical glass panel rows first a first glass panel the first vertical glass panel row over a first one Glass panel of the second vertical glass panel series. Under this first Glass panel of the second vertical glass panel series then lies the second glass panel of the first vertical glass panel series. Under this second Glass panel of the first vertical glass panel row is then the second Glass panel of the second vertical glass panel series. Naturally can also be provided the analog reverse arrangement case.

The glass panels of the horizontal rows of glass panels can increase from left to right or from right to left. However, the glass panels of the vertical rows of glass panels always rise from top to bottom - or in other words fall Glass panels of the vertical rows of glass panels always from bottom to top, whereby rainwater is reliably derived to the ground and not towards the building exterior wall or building interior.

The Rise or fall of the vertical and horizontal glass panels Glass panel rows are made by different depths of support achieved, these carriers preferably depth adjustable, d. H. in the direction of the building exterior wall or the building interior are formed.

Of the Distance in the depth between two adjacent glass panels is at about 5 to 15 mm, typically at 10 mm. The overlap area in height and width between two adjacent glass panels is about 0 to 60 mm, typically 20 mm.

Prefers becomes a single carrier for each corner of four different glass panels adjacent to each other, wherein all four corners of each glass panel held in a carrier become. But it can also louder individual carriers be provided for each corner of the glass panels.

in the The invention will now be described by way of example with reference to drawings explained in more detail, from which further features and Advantages of the invention emerge.

It shows

1 : Side view in cross section through the facade center in the area of the carrier;

2 : Top view on the facade behind 1 in cross-section in the area of the lowest support;

3 : Front view on the facade after 1 and 2 ;

4 : Top view on the facade behind 1 in cross-section in the region of the middle quadruple support without outer support.

The figures shows a glass facade 1 with four glass panels 2 - 5 , which about carriers 6 - 14 with a building exterior wall 15 are connected. Of course, the glass facade 1 also form the building exterior wall itself and on another building support structure (not shown) via girders 6 - 14 lie firmly.

The four glass panels 2 - 5 the glass facade 1 are arranged such that they have a depth distance 21 . 23 of about 10 mm to each other and two in the height direction 19 running, mutually adjacent, vertical rows of glass panels 16 and two in the width direction 20 running, mutually adjacent, horizontal rows of glass panels 17 form, which according to the invention in the depth direction 18 Seen vertically and horizontally overlap or overlap. Thus, each vertical, as well as horizontally adjacent glass panels 2 - 5 through an overlap 22 . 24 20 mm overlaps or overlap, but they do not touch each other directly, but the depth distance 21 . 23 of about 10 mm to each other.

In 4 is in the range of the middle owner 7 recognizable that the overlap of the vertical glass panel rows 16 Prior to overlapping the horizontal glass panel rows 17 has, leaving the upper left glass panel 2 on top of, further in the depth direction 18 located below then the right upper glass panel 4 follows, followed by the lower left glass panel 3 followed by the bottom right glass panel 5 , each one a distance to each other 23 of about 10 mm in the depth direction 18 comply and do not touch each other directly. Of course, the order of the glass panels can also be the other way around (in the depth direction 18 seen): 4 . 2 . 5 . 3 , instead of 2 . 4 . 3 . 5 ,

Of course, in another embodiment of the invention, it is also possible that the coverage of the horizontal glass panel rows 17 Preceding the overlapping of the vertical glass panel rows 16 has, then the order of the glass panels would be (in depth direction 18 seen): 2 . 3 . 4 . 5 or vice versa 4 . 5 . 2 . 3 ,

The stratification or overlap is therefore almost arbitrary, but are the two vertically upper glass panels 2 . 4 always in the depth direction 18 seen over (ie away from the building) the vertically lower glass panels 3 . 5 so that rainwater does not get behind the glass panels 2 - 5 , but before it runs to the bottom.

It goes without saying that the number of glass panels 2 - 5 also 6 . 8th . 10 . 12 or more, but the previously explained principle of stratification or overlap is always maintained or even within a glass facade 1 can also vary.

The 1 - 3 is removable, that the outer edges of individual glass panels 2 - 5 about single-carrier 9 . 11 and 12 . 14 be held, the edges of two adjacent glass panels 2 - 5 via horizontal double carrier 6 . 8th and deep double carrier 10 . 13 , and the edges of four adjacent glass panels 2 - 5 over the quadruple carrier 7 ,

All carriers 6 - 14 are in the depth direction 18 adjustable in that they are formed by different angles, which together fasteners 26 connected in oblong holes 25 in one of the opposite angles of the carrier 6 - 14 intervention.
