Description

[0001] Typical multi-part windows usually consist of several closed, firmly connected window frames, especially rectangular frames, into each of which a pane is inserted, enclosed by a surrounding frame.

[0002] German patent application DE 10 2009 051 070 A1 describes a generic wall system with the features of the preamble of claim 1. The wall system comprises a framework consisting of several interconnected vertical profiles and horizontal profiles, both of which are provided with longitudinal grooves. Plate-like or disc-like infill elements can be attached to the vertical and horizontal profiles by means of retaining elements. These retaining elements have base clamping strips for this purpose. Snap-in elements are located on the base clamping strips and can be fixed to the vertical and horizontal profiles.

[0003] Another lattice construction is described in DE 1 907 171 U. Retaining strips with a U-shaped base profile can be attached to the stiles and crossbeams. These retaining strips have legs that form a groove into which a panel can be inserted.

[0004] DE 296 15 348 U1 shows a post / beam construction made of wood for receiving a panel element, wherein the posts and beams are fastened together by means of threaded rods, wherein a nominal diameter of the threaded rod is significantly smaller than recesses on the butt surfaces of the posts and beams.

[0005] In DE 20 2004 001 795 U1, individual glass panes are joined together using a glass blade and adhesive. The joined individual glass panes are held in place by profiles.

[0006] The invention is based on the objective of creating a multi-part window wall or a multi-part window in which a closed window frame that holds the pane can be dispensed with.

[0007] The features of claim 1 serve to solve this problem.

[0008] An advantage of the invention is that it can be assembled as desired using strips cut to size, and is held together by an outer frame and fixed by the discs inserted into the strips.

[0009] The window wall according to the invention is characterized by vertical retaining strips provided with vertical grooves, which intersect with horizontal spacer struts provided with upper and lower horizontal grooves, wherein the cohesion of vertical retaining strips and horizontal spacer struts is achieved by inserting discs clampingly into the vertical grooves of the vertical retaining strips and into the horizontal grooves of the horizontal spacer struts, which thus form the connection between the vertical retaining strips and the horizontal spacer struts.

[0010] The window wall according to the invention can be used for decorative purposes as a balcony or terrace boundary, as a railing, as a room divider or as a transparent protective wall.

[0011] The vertical support rails and the horizontal spacer struts are butted together.

[0012] For fastening the multi-part window wall, at least one horizontal base strip is provided which can be attached to a base and which has a horizontal groove on its upper side aligned with the vertical grooves of the vertical retaining strips.

[0013] The upper finishing element is a top frame strip which has a horizontal groove on its underside that is aligned with the vertical grooves of the vertical retaining strips.

[0014] According to a preferred embodiment of the invention, the grooves have a width adapted to the respective thickness of the discs of 4 mm to 6 mm, preferably 5 mm, and a depth of 4 mm to 15 mm, preferably 5 mm to 10 mm.

[0015] The panes are preferably made of glass or plastic, preferably safety or tempered glass.

[0016] According to a further invention, both the retaining strips and the spacer struts are provided on both sides with opposing vertical and horizontal grooves.

[0017] According to preferred embodiments of the invention, it is provided that both superimposed disks and adjacent disks are arranged butt-jointed.

[0018] The invention is described in more detail below with reference to the drawings. Fig. Figure 1 shows in perspective a basic structure consisting of vertical support strips and rectangular, horizontal spacer struts, which are butted against each other without being connected;

[0019] Fig. Figure 2 shows a perspective view of a spacer strut.

[0020] The Fig. Figures 3 to 6 show front views of multi-part window walls with window panes inserted into the vertical grooves of the vertical retaining strips and into the horizontal grooves of the spacer struts.

[0021] The in Fig. The scaffold shown consists of vertically extending retaining strips 1, which are provided on both sides with opposing vertical grooves 1.1 extending over the entire length of the retaining strips 1.

[0022] Horizontally extending spacer struts 2 are arranged between adjacent retaining strips 1, which are provided with horizontal grooves 2.1 that are aligned with the vertical grooves 1.1 of the retaining strips 1.

[0023] The vertical retaining strips 1 are not connected to the horizontal spacer struts 2, but are butted against each other.

[0024] The connection between the vertical retaining strips and the horizontal spacer struts is achieved by means of washers 5 which are clamped into the vertical grooves 1.1 of the retaining strips 1 and into the horizontal grooves 2.1 of the spacer struts 2.

[0025] According to the Fig. 3 and Fig. 5 Each individual disc 5 is inserted into the vertical grooves 1.1 of the retaining strips 1 and into the horizontal grooves 2.1 of the spacer struts 2.

[0026] According to the Fig. 4 and Fig. 6 are stacked discs, 5 are butted together when spacers are missing.

[0027] Preferably, flexible sealing strips are inserted between butt-jointed discs.
