Description

GLAZED STRUCTURE SYSTEM
This invention relates to glazed structure systems.
Office buildings and large enclosures such as shopping malls are often constructed of a metal framework to which is secured panelling such as glass, and glass is particularly used to roof large enclosures to admit light. Conventional techniques to secure glass and like panelling, referred to generally herein as glass, are labour intensive.
The present invention provides a glazed structure system which is relatively simple and inexpensive to glaze.
The invention comprises a glazed structure system comprising structural transom elements having longitud- inal glazing support ledges for the upper rim of a lower and the lower rim of an upper glazing panel and clamping members extending between mullions and secured to the transom elements to clamp the glazing panel rims thereto.
The system may comprise a curtain wall system, of which the mullions are vertical and/or a roof system, of which the mullions are inclined - roof mullions may of course be arched. The transoms may have supports on which the upper glazing panels rest.
The clamping members may be secured to the transom elements by threaded connectors.
The system may comprise sealing between the clamping members and the glazing panels, and may further comprise flexible gaskets between the glazing panels and the transom elements.
The transom elements may be made of extruded metal sections, and may then incorporate thermal breaks - the clamping members may be secured to the transom elements via a thermal break.
The system may incorporate drainage channel means in the transom elements connecting with the mullions.
The invention also comprises a glazed structure system, which may be a system as above described, comprising structural mullion elements comprising main parts with longitudinal glazing support ledges for the edges of glazing panels, and clamping members extending lengthwise of the main parts and tightenably securable thereto to clamp glazing panels to the support ledges via thermal break means. The clamping members may be secured to the main parts by threaded connectors, and the system may comprise sealing between the clamping members and the glazing panels and flexible gaskets between the glazing panels and the main parts.
Emodiments of glazed structure systems according to the invention will now be described with reference to the accompanying drawings, in which :-
Figure 1 is a view from below of a conventional glazing system as applied to an arched roof structure;
Figure 2 is a view like Figure 1 of the system of the invention;
Figure 3 is a view of a larger area of the arched roof structure of Figure 2;
Figure 4 is a section through a typical transom for a system according to the invention;
Figure 5 is a section like Figure 4, showing a different glazing arrangement; Figure 6 is a section like Figure 4 showing a different transom design;
Figure 7 is a plan of a glazed pyramid structure based on the transom design of Figure 6;
Figure 8 is an elevation of the structure of Figure 7;
Figure 9 is a vertical section through a curtain walling arrangement;
and Figure 10 is a horizontal section through a curtain walling arrangement showing a mullion of the invention.
The drawings illustrate glazed structure systems
Figure 1 shows a conventional glazing system as applied to ah arched roof structure comprising arched mullions 11 and transoms 12 which pass through notches in. the mullions 11. The transoms 12 carry plates 13 which support the corners of glass panes 14. The panes 14 are drilled correspondingly to the plates 13 and secured by bolts 15. Sealant is applied to the pane/ plate connection and between the panes. This arrangement is costly in terms of labour, requiring the plates 13 to be secured, as by bolting or welding, to the transoms 12, and the glass panes 14 to be drilled accurately.
The inventive system, as illustrated in Figures 2 and 3, for example, is much less costly in terms of the labour required for its assembly. The system comprises structural transom elements 22 having longitudinal glazing support ledges 23 for the upper rim 24A of a lower and the lower rim 24B of an upper glazing panel 24 and clamping members 25 extending between mullions 21 and secured to the transom elements 22 to clamp the glazing panel rims 24A, 24B thereto.
Clearly, the glass need no longer be drilled, and assembly is simply a matter of placing the glass panels on the ledges and securing them with the clamping members. Of course, the butt joints between the panels 24 still need to be sealed. Sealant is, however, incorporated in the clamping arrangement, as will be described below.
Figures 4 and 5 are sections through a typical transom arrangement. The transom 22 is of extruded aluminium sections having a saddle part 22A resting on a spine part 22B, the saddle part 22A comprising the ledges 23 and sitting above the upper flange of the mullion 21 while the spine part 22B passes through a notch therein - this makes for easy assembly and spaces the glass from the mullions.
The ledges 23 comprise channels 23A to receive flexible, air-sealing gaskets 23B. Sealant 26 is also applied between the glass and the clamping member 25, which is a separately extruded section having a channel 25A for a threaded connection - by a self-tapping screw 27 - into a channel 28 of the saddle part 22A. The channel 25A is eventually closed off by a trim strip 28. Further trim strips 29 close off the sides of the saddle part extrusion. Figure 5 shows an arrangement basically similar to Figure 4, but with a lateral extension section 51 and no separate trim strip 28, the sealing arrangement comprising, further, similar gaskets either side of the glass.
Figures 4 and 5 illustrate the arrangement as it would be used for horizontal or near horizontal roof section where the clamping action would be sufficient to locate the glazing panels positively. Figure 6 shows a modified arrangement, this time supporting double glazing panels 64 on a sloping roof section of the pyramid illustrated in Figures 7 and 8. The transom elements 22 have a thermal break section 71 in the channel 68. Bolts 72 project from the section 71 and nuts 73 secure an auxiliary section 74 to the thermal break section 71 and against gaskets 63B on the ledges 63.
The auxiliary sections 74 have supports 74A on which the upper glazing panels 64 rest, again via gasket or sealant means. Clamping is effected by clamping members 65, with sealant 66, tightened by nuts 75 running on the bolts 72. A rim 68 completes the arrangement. In this arrangement, the transoms are secured to the mullions by connector keys 76.
It will be appreciated that the hollow, extruded sections, finished with that various trims, constitute channels along which any water which may enter through a seal gap or any condensate may run. These channels connect with the mullions to guide such water or condensate to the edge of a roof or down or to the outside of a curtain wall.
Figure 9 shows a curtain wall arrangement which is generally similar to the arrangement of Figure 6, but, of course, on its side, like parts being indicated by like reference numerals. Figure 10 shows a horizontal section through a curtain walling arrangement showing a mullion element
101 in cross-section comprising a box section main part
102 with longitudinal glazing support ledges 103 for the edges of glazing panels 104 and a clamping member 105 extending lengthwise of the main part 102 and tightenably securable to the main part 102 to clamp the glazing panels 104 to the support ledges 103 via thermal break means 106.
The clamping member 105 is secured to the main part 102 by threaded connectors 107 comprising in this embodiment self-tapping screws engaging in a fork connector 108 which is held in a channel 109 projecting from the box section main part 102 in a thermal break block 110.
The clamping member 105 and the glazing panels 104 have sealant 111 between them, while the glazing panels 104 rest against flexible gaskets 112 mounted in hollow section projections comprising the ledges 103.
A cap 113 covers the clamping member 105.
The clamping member 94 is of slightly different form and has a cover 95 with drainage slots 96. As shown, the transom supports a glazing panel, while below is a spandrel panel 97 with insulation 98. It will be appreciated that many variations may be made to the particular sections, as also to the materials and the manner by which they are made, whether by extrusion or otherwise, and connected together into a structure, while retaining the advantage of ease of assembly. Additionally, however, it is possible to achieve a neater and more pleasing appearance, as will be evident from Figure 3, by avoiding the need for obvious supporting arrangements for the glazing.
