FACE WALL OF BUILDING Russian patent published in 1999 - IPC

FIELD: construction engineering. SUBSTANCE: this relates to arrangement of face walls of buildings or structures which are finished with glass or sheet material. Face wall of building has following components: combination metal and thermal-insulating profiles and posts with supporting heads, shoulders with catches and fixing sockets, thermal-insulating flexible liners, sheet finishing and glazing. Sheet facing is installed in one common external face plane and is made up as single-layer or multilayer secured to supporting heads of metal posts through thermal-insulating flexible liners at external side of face by means of separate catches of D-shape. Ends of legs of catches are provided with protrusions which are secured in corresponding fixing sockets located in external surface of supporting heads of metal posts and/or metal profiles. Supporting heads of posts can be mounted on thermal-insulating profiles. Intermediate metal profiles can be additionally installed on catches on one or both shoulders of posts. Glazing is secured on intermediate metal profiles through thermal-insulating flexible liners. Metal posts and additional metal profiles can be provided with stops. Located between these stops is thermal-insulation material which is protected by glazing at face side. Face wall can be made up of several rows of metal posts and profiles located in parallel to each other in plan. Secured to these posts and profiles is glazing and/or sheet facing. Aforesaid arrangement of components and their embodiment allow for enhancing reliability of fastening and waterproofing in unit of adjoining facing or glazing to metal profiles and posts. EFFECT: higher efficiency. 8 cl, 3 dwg
