Problems solved by technology

[0008] Although this splice connection construction solution is quite satisfactory from a technical point of view, especially with regard to the quality and appearance of the assembly, due to manufacturing tolerances of the elements forming the splice, it is sometimes difficult, especially under applied load conditions. Gap expansion will occur, causing movement of the joint that will cause the joint to stagger

Embodiment Construction

[0034] figure 1 is a side view of an outer wall 1, in particular a glass wall part 1, behind which there is a reinforcement plate consisting of a first and a second element, in particular a glass element 3, 4, 5 or a structural element 6 or 7 2. The first upper element 3 is fixed to the upper part 6 of the body structure and the second lower element 5 is fixed to the lower part 7 of the body structure with the first or second element, either in a top position or a ground position or in between The location of the element is connected to the building structure. The reinforcing plate 2 can be connected to the outer wall part 1 at several independent points, which are very schematically indicated by the connecting piece 8, and / or be continuous.

[0035] The first and / or second element 3, 4, 5, if made of glass, comprises tempered or hardened or annealed, transparent or translucent, tinted or colorless monolithic glass or poly layers of glass.

Abstract

The coupling system for joining glass components (3, 4, 5) edge-to-edge consists of interlocking male (11) and female (10) shapes similar to those used to join the pieces of a jigsaw puzzle on the adjoining edges of the components, and a structural material (13) to fill any gaps and prevent any relative movement between the components. The gaps can be filled with a flexible or adhesive material or ball or roller chains, and the joints can be made with cavities for locking keys.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to glazing, and in particular to connection structures made of glazing or other elements such as sheets, beams, gantries, stiffeners, stiffeners, struts and the like. Background technique [0002] In many different fields, especially in construction, the construction of glass elements is limited by the size of the existing substrate material made of float glass: Usually, the maximum size of the glass sheet produced by the production equipment of float glass is limited to About 6 meters. [0003] These glass elements can be strengthened either by thermal processing or by chemical treatment. [0004] When it is desired to manufacture large pieces of glass, especially when the elements are strengthened by thermal processing, or by chemical treatment, it is necessary to build a connected structure of individual elements to form an assembly of the required dimensions. [0005] One form of connection relies on the clamping pri...
