SET OF PROFILED MEMBERS FOR PREFERABLY TRANSPARENT GUARDING OF BUILDINGS AND STRUCTURES Russian patent published in 2000 - IPC

FIELD: construction engineering. SUBSTANCE: this set of profiled members can be used in construction of facade show windows and facing of buildings and structures, including dividing partitions, etc. Set of profiled members includes hollow load-bearing post or hollow span-piece with at least one pair of longitudinal ribs with flanges on their ends protruding beyond perimeter of load-bearing post. Flanges have longitudinal slots for location of seals. Located between flanges is box-section rib. One base of box-section rib is made integral with flange of U-shaped rib. Dowel insert is located inside hollow of U-shaped rib formed in seat walls with resilient resting against end-face of wall of U-shaped rib. Insert has space for location of fastening means, clamping strip with end-face seats and with seats for seal made preferably of polymeric material. Also provided is resilient cover fixed in end-face seats and embracing clamping strip from external sides. Additional flange of load-bearing post or hollow span-piece is installed at angle to main flange between adjacent side planes which are made in length respectively according to concave plane in one of them and mating convex in other side which are brought in contact by cylindrical surfaces. Clamping strip is fixed by means of slots made in it on T-shaped or U-shaped seal of polymeric material. Post of seal is provided with protruding catch which is introduced into space for location of fastening means of dowel insert. Along side planes, protruding catch is limited by cantilever parts of T-shaped or U-shaped seal which exceed its length by at least one and half times. Each cantilever part is made in the form of strip which divides space between profiled members through its entire length or through larger part of its length. Tail of seal located in longitudinal slots divide spaces between profiled members and guarding into additional primarily isolated volumes through their entire length or through larger part of length. Application of embodiment of construction set allows for varying configurations of structures at minimized use of structural components and joining units needed for ensuring preset positioning of guarding structures and meeting high requirements as to efficiency of thermal insulation. EFFECT: higher efficiency. 2 dwg
