POINT FOR ATTACHING TWO ADJACENT PANELS TO A STRUCTURE TO ALLOW THERMAL EXPANSION AND COMPRESSION Russian patent published in 2016 - IPC E04C2/54 E04D3/28 E04B1/61 

FIELD: construction.

SUBSTANCE: invention relates to extruded, modular panel blocks used for construction of sections of light transmissive walls. Composite panel comprises two adjacent panels, wherein each includes a first surface, opposing second surface and joining flange located at their edge, wherein said edge defines the longitudinal axis of the panel, and said joining flanges are fastened by at least one fastening element, and fastening point for attaching two adjacent panels into a structure to allow panels freely slide relative to the above structure after longitudinal expansion or compression of panels. Said fastening point includes: support element intended for sliding support of two adjacent panels relative to support element parallel to said longitudinal axis, wherein said support element is designed for rigid attachment to the structure directly or via an intermediate element; holding element designed to hold the respective joining flanges of two adjacent panels installed in the support element and intended for sliding in longitudinal direction relative to it; and a fastening element for pressing corresponding joining flanges of two adjacent panels together; and support element, which includes opposite side walls, which form a channel of such a size as to allow an appropriate holding element freely slide in it; holding element and fastening element are made from material with coefficient of thermal expansion similar to that of panels, so that when the holding element moves in the channel of the support element, panels, fastening element and holding element move together; and each panel is attached to a corresponding fastening element without lateral pressure on the side walls of the support element. Support element is made from metal, and holding element is made of plastic. Invention also describes versions of composite panel.

EFFECT: technical result is possibility of thermal expansion of panels.
