Definitions
- the present invention relates to curtain walls with panels suspended at points, according to the preamble to Claim 1.
- Walls of this type which are known, for example, from EP-A-0 201 212, are used to produce facades of particularly light structure, constituted wholly or partly by glazed elements, and also characterized by particular transparency and brightness.
- a disadvantage which may be encountered in these structures is due to an absence of ventilation openings in the wall formed by the panels. This is a considerable disadvantage in countries in which the health and hygiene standards in force deem ventilation of areas exclusively by means other than an ability to open the walls defining the areas to be unsatisfactory except in certain conditions.
- the object of the present invention is therefore to provide curtain walls with suspended panels by means of which it is possible to ventilate the rooms selectively.
- a wall constituted by panels suspended at points is generally indicated 1.
- the wall in question is a facade delimiting a portion of a building E shown in the drawings as comprising a plurality of slabs S supported by one or more columns P. It is, however, quite clear that the characteristics of the building per se do not influence the characteristics of the wall according to the invention.
- the wall 1 comprises a load-bearing structure 2 configured as a structure of the type currently known (perhaps not entirely correctly) as a "tension structure".
- this is a structure constituted by a plurality of generally arcuate tubular ribs 3 extending between respective anchoring structures 31 and 32 situated at the bottom and at the top of the wall, respectively, for connection to the slabs S and/or to the columns P.
- the ribs in question have respective associated ties 4 and 5 extending between respective anchorage regions 41, 42 and 51, 52, on the outer and inner surfaces of the wall 1, respectively.
- outer and inner refer to the location of the wall relative to the building E.
- the ties 4 and 5 cooperate with the ribs 3 by means of respective struts 43 (outer tie 4) and 53 (inner tie 5).
- Inner struts 53 are also visible in Figure 2 in which their head portions 53a, which are split so that the tie 5 (not shown in Figure 2) can extend through them, are clearly visible.
- the fork-like elements 6 are intended to support a set of panels 7 which are suspended at points on the structure 2 (in accordance with the criteria described further below) and constitute the actual curtain of the wall 1.
- the panels 7 are made of transparent material, preferably of the type currently known as double glazing.
- this solution is not essential; it is in fact possible, for example, to provide for the opening movement to take place outwardly and/or as a result of a pivoting movement about an axis located at the upper edge or in the centre of the panel and/or as a result of an orientation movement about an axis which, instead of being horizontal as in the embodiment illustrated, is oriented vertically (thus being located adjacent one of the vertical sides of the panel 7) and/or is inclined.
- the orientation movement takes place about horizontal axes X7 located at the lower edges of the panels 7, the axes X7 in fact being identified by two "fixed" support elements 8 carried by respective limbs of the support forks 6.
- the forks 6 extend from the respective ribs 3 towards the panels 7 with two diverging limbs extending on either side of the strut 53 located in the same position. Since the ribs 6 extend practically on the boundary between two adjacent columns of panels 7 disposed one above another, the limbs extend towards one and towards the other of the two adjacent columns of panels 7, respectively.
- the embodiment illustrated herein - which is described by way of example - relates to a solution in which the opening movement affects alternate columns of panels 7 disposed one above another.
- the swivels 8 carried by the fork-like structure 81 are intended to support panels 7 which are not involved in the opening movement.
- each swivel 8 is constituted basically by a stem 10 which carries at one end an orientable head 11 connected to the stem 10 by means of a ball and socket joint (hence the name "swivel") which can be oriented so as to permit the desired opening movement of the panels 7.
- the stem 10 is configured substantially in the form of a threaded pin which extends through an eye 821 provided at the distal end of each arm of the fork 81, or of each arm 82, so that it can be locked in the desired position by means of two nuts 822, preferably with the interposition of rings of vibration-damping material.
- the orientable head 11 is usually in the form of a cylindrical body which can extend through a bore 12 provided in the body of the panel 7 so as to define a corresponding suspension point.
- the bore 12 can house a locking element 13 substantially comparable to a screw with a conical and milled head which restrains the panel 7 relative to the head 11.
- the structure of the swivels 8 may be considered known per se and hence does not require a detailed description herein.
- the solution described herein is given purely by way of example since the function described may be performed with the use of functionally equivalent solutions.
- the heads 11 could be connected to the panels 7 without the panels 7 being drilled and the heads 11 consequently extending through the bores 12, for example, by gluing the panels 7 to the articulated head portions of the swivels 8, or by means of functionally equivalent solutions.
- the embodiment described provides for the entire set of parts of the wall 1 which are intended to provide for the support of the panels 7 (and hence also for the relative movement, in the terms explained further below) to be located on the outer side of the wall 1.
- This solution has been found advantageous since it leaves the inner side of the wall 1, which is in fact defined by the curtain of panels 7, completely clear, and/or since it allows, for example, sun-screens such as the fins indicated 30 solely in Figure 1, to be mounted on the outside of the wall. Again, however, this is not an essential solution since a precisely complementary solution could be considered.
- swivels 8' generally similar to the swivels 8 described above.
- the main difference between the swivels 8 and the swivels 8' is that the swivels 8 are mounted in fixed positions relative to the forks 6 (and hence to the rest of the structure 2), whereas the swivels 8' can move relative to this portion of the structure.
- the limbs 6 which carry the upwardly extending arms 82 are arranged also to carry, extending downwardly and preferably away from the panels 7 (for obvious reasons of space), further arms 14 the distal ends of which support, preferably by means of an articulated joint 15 (for reasons which will become clearer from the following), a linear actuator 16 constituted, for example, by an electromagnetic actuator the cylinder 17 of which is articulated to the arm 14, for example by means of a bracket 18, and the rod 19 of which cooperates, for example, with the stem 10 of a respective swivel 8' by means of an adjustment sleeve 20.
- the reference L indicates the supply line for the driving means (electricity, but it could be air or pressurized fluid for fluid actuators 16) coming from a drive source, not shown, which enables the fluid for actuating the actuator 16 to be supplied and withdrawn.
- the two actuators 16 acting on the swivels 8' associated with the same panel are kinematically coupled to one another so as to move precisely in synchronism, preventing the application of undesired torsion/bending stresses to the panel 7 controlled thereby.
- connection is achieved (see Figure 2 in particular) by arranging for the two actuators 16 in question to be coupled to one another by means of a shaft 21 extending parallel to the lower edge of the respective panel.
- the solution according to the invention is characterized in that the support elements cooperating with at least one of the panels comprise a first set of support elements (the swivels 8) defining an orientation axis for the respective panel and a second set of support elements (the swivels 8') which are associated with the load-bearing structure with a capability for selective movement relative to the load-bearing structure.
- a first set of support elements the swivels 8
- the swivels 8' which are associated with the load-bearing structure with a capability for selective movement relative to the load-bearing structure.
- adjustment sleeves 20 enables the set of elements described to be adjusted precisely by ensuring that an identical positioning of the actuators 16 corresponds to an absence of stresses applied to the panels 7 by means of the swivels 8 carried thereby.
- Figure 3 relates to the closure condition in which the swivel 8' shown in the lower position in fact behaves (except for the different connection of the fork 6) in the same manner as the swivel 8 shown in the upper position.
- Figure 4 shows that, if the actuator 16 is activated by means of the line L, the rod 19 can be extracted from the body 17 causing the swivel 8' carried by the rod 19 to move the upper edge of the respective panel 7 (inwardly relative to the wall 1 in the embodiment shown), away from the lower edge of the panel 7 disposed in a position above it.
- FIG. 3 and 4 show how, in a preferred embodiment of the invention, the fact that the panels 7 are in the form of double-glazing panels enables an effective seal to be achieved when the panels 7 are in the closure position.
- each panel in question in the form of so-called double-glazing panels means that each panel is in fact constituted by two sheets of glass 70, 71.
- Sealing elements 32, 33 are interposed in the peripheral regions (and around the edges of the bores 12 if they are present) for ensuring that the internal cavities of the panels 7 are sealed against penetration of moisture, etc.
- the sheets 70, 71 are preferably connected to one another so as to be offset at least at the sides which are to cooperate with the sides of adjacent panels during the opening and closure movement, so as to permit coupling between the juxtaposed sides of adjacent panels 7 in an overlapping configuration, that is, in an at least partially superimposed arrangement.
- Sealing elements such as tubular weatherstrips 34 are usually interposed between the cooperating edges of adjacent panels (both vertically and horizontally), and are usually fixed by snap-coupling with the sealing elements 33 of the panels.
- At least one further lipped sealing element 35 may advantageously be provided along one or more of the sides of the panels 7.
- This element is formed, for example, so as to be generally Y-shaped and hence with two top portions which are intended to extend around one of the sheets (such as the sheet 71) and a projecting leg for cooperating with an adjacent panel 7 (see Figure 3).
