PANEL INSTALLATION SYSTEM Russian patent published in 2001 - IPC

FIELD: construction engineering; glazing of balconies and loggias. SUBSTANCE: system has panel attachment assemblies used for its displacement and turning in panel aperture and made in the form of set of pin-mounted rollers placed in guides on top and bottom sides of panel aperture, and secured in pairs and relatively coaxially on shaped structures accommodating top and bottom parts of panel. System is provided with panel finishing and stopping assemblies functioning as they turn; roller pins in first coaxially arranged sets of first K panels are fixed on top and bottom parts of panel, respectively, and spaced from first side through distance equal to radius of largest roller of set. Respective roller pins of second set of first panel are installed at same distance from other side of panel, respectively. Respective rollers of second set of each next panel are shifted relative to these pins on preceding panel towards middle of panel at distance equal to diameter of largest roller of set. If more than K panels are to be installed, respective pairs of roller sets on panels numbered from K+1 to 2K are installed symmetrically relative to position of roller sets on panels from that numbered K to first panel, respectively. Respective roller sets for panels from (2K+1) and next ones are installed according to given procedure of installation; here K=1, ... ,n; n <B/2d, where n is any integer number correspondent to this equation and greater than unity, B is width of panel, and d is diameter of largest roller of set. Corresponding panel finishing and stopping assembly is mounted for each of K panels at their turn. These assemblies are mounted on guide arranged in top part of panel aperture. Slits are made in sides of guides arranged in top and bottom parts of panel aperture on ends corresponding to points of installation of panel finishing and stopping assemblies to provide exit of respective roller set in panel turning. Number of these slits corresponds to that of panel finishing and stopping assemblies installed. Width of each slit corresponds to diameter of largest roller of set. In panel turn tilting thrusts are compensating for. EFFECT: provision for installation of unlimited number of panels. 4 cl, 8 dwg
