DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0043] The embodiments of the present invention as described in the following are to be regarded only as examples and are in no way intended to limit the scope of the present invention.

[0044] It should be noted that the terms "isolator" and "isolating" as used in this disclosure are intended to have the same meaning as the corresponding terms "insulator" and "insulating", respectively.

[0045] Fig. 1 illustrates a sectional view through a construction system 1, in accordance with the present invention, for a module arrangement 2, and / or for a facade arrangement 3, wherein the construction system 1 comprises a carrying profile 20, an isolator 30, i.e. an isolating element 30, and a glazing assembly 40, i.e. an object assembly 40. The carrying profile 20 may be of wood, and / or a composite material, and the carrying profile 20 is here of Glulam, i.e. a glued laminated timber. Further, the carrying profile 20 in Fig.l may illustrate a frame profile 20. The isolating element 30 is attached with screws 60 to the carrying profile 20.

[0046] In Fig. 1, both from the sectional view through the embodiment of the construction system and from the view of the embodiment of the construction system from the side of the glazing assembly (i.e. "SIDE VIEW - GLASS" in Fig. 1), it can be seen that the object assembly 40, e.g. the glazing assembly 40, is provided with a pin element 41, wherein the pin element 41 protrudes out from the object assembly 40, e.g. the glazing assembly 40. Behind the pin element 41 and in the glazing assembly 40 there can be seen a pocket profile and an insert inside said pocket profile, wherein said pocket profile and said insert work together to attach the pin element 41 in the glazing assembly 40.

[0047] Further, in Fig. 1, both from the sectional view through the embodiment of the construction system and from the view of the embodiment of the construction system from the side of the glazing assembly (i.e. "SIDE VIEW - GLASS" in Fig. 1), it can be seen that the isolating element 30 is further attached with a slideable, and lockable, clip portion 50, here a sliding clip 50. It can be seen how the clip portion 50 is able to be slid in place at the pin element 41, and able to be locked on the pin element 41, and thereby fastening the object assembly 40, e.g. the glazing assembly 40, to the carrying profile 20. Furthermore, in Fig. 1, it can be seen that the construction system 1 further comprises a framing profile 70 and sealing means, 80, and 81, i.e. frame gasket 80 and front chamber gasket 81.

[0048] Fig. 2 illustrates a sectional view through an embodiment of a construction system 1, in accordance with the present invention, for a module arrangement 2, and / or for a facade arrangement 3, wherein the construction system 1 comprises two carrying profiles 20, two isolating elements 30, two glazing assemblies 40, i.e. two object assemblies 40, and two framing profiles (70).

[0049] Further, in Fig. 2, it can be seen that each framing profile 70 is attached to the corresponding isolating element 30 on the side of the isolating element 30 being opposite of the corresponding carrying profile 20, wherein the two carrying profiles 20 and the two framing profiles 70 are coupled together, respectively.

[0050] Furthermore, in Fig. 2, it can also be seen that the construction system 1 further comprises sealing means, 80, 81, 82 and 83, i.e. frame gaskets 80, front chamber gaskets 81 and coupling gaskets 82 and 83, and that said two carrying profiles 20 and the two framing profiles 70 are coupled together, respectively, and that the isolating elements 30 assist, together with the sealing means 80, 81, 82, 83, in isolating the carrying profiles 20 from the outside environment.

[0051] In summary, and according to an embodiment, the disclosure relates to a construction system 1 for a module arrangement 2, and / or for a facade arrangement 3, wherein the construction system 1 comprises a carrying profile 20, an isolating (i.e. insulating) element 30 and an object assembly 40, e.g. a glazing assembly 40, wherein the carrying profile 20 is of wood, and / or a composite material, wherein the isolating (i.e. insulating) element 30 comprises a material having isolating (i.e. insulating) properties and is attached to the carrying profile 20, and wherein the object assembly 40, e.g. the glazing assembly 40, is provided with a pin element 41, wherein the pin element 41 protrudes out from the object assembly 40, e.g. the glazing assembly 40, and wherein the isolating (i.e. or insulating) element 30 is further attached with a slideable, and lockable, clip portion 50, wherein the clip portion 50 is able to be slid in place at the pin element 41, and then able to be locked on the pin element 41, and thereby fastening the object assembly 40, e.g. the glazing assembly

[0052] 40, to the carrying profile 20.

[0053] Preferably, the construction system 1 comprises an isolating element 30 which is made of a material having isolating (i.e. insulating) properties, wherein the material having isolating properties is, for example, a polymer material, and / or a biocomposite material.

[0054] Furthermore, this construction system 1 is configured so that the clip portion 50 is provided with an inclined recess 51 for sliding the clip portion 50 in place at the pin element 41, whereby the inclined recess 51, when the clip portion 50 is slid in place at the pin element 41, also comprises a function, by means of its inclination, of pressing the object assembly 40, e.g. the glazing assembly 40, towards the carrying profile 20.

[0055] Furthermore, it should be noted that Fig. 3 shows a section of the arrangement of Fig. 1 (left part) in an enlarged form. According to an embodiment, the sliding clip 50 as shown in Fig. 1 and Fig. 3 is associated with the isolating element 30 and is arranged to be able to slide in the direction as shown with an arrow in the right part of Fig. 1. According to an embodiment, the sliding clip 50 has an end portion 50a which is bent (suitable perpendicularly to the remaining part of the sliding clip 50) so as to fit in a guiding track 92 forming part of the isolating element 30, as shown in Fig. 3.

[0056] The sliding clip 50 is consequently configured to slide in relation to the pin element 41 in a manner so that a guiding element 90 forming part of the sliding clip 50 encloses the pin element 41 during its sliding movement. As clear from Fig. 1 (in particular the right part of Fig. 1) and Fig. 3, the guiding element 90 is formed as a relatively narrow recess 90 having an extension along the direction of movement of the sliding clip 50. Furthermore, as shown in the right part of Fig. 1, the guiding element 90 is formed in a partly inclined manner with an inclined surface 51 which acts upon the pin element 41 during sliding of the sliding clip 50. Since the pin element 41 is mounted in the glazing assembly 40, a continuing sliding movement of the sliding clip 50 will act upon the pin element 41 in a manner so that the glazing assembly 40 is pressed towards the carrying profile 20.

[0057] In order to obtain the locking operation as described, the pin element 41 is formed by a pin 41b and a top portion 41a having a greater diameter than the pin 41b. This is shown in Fig. 3. The pin element 41 is mounted in a pocket profile 93 which has a predetermined length and which is positioned and attached, for example by glueing, within a recess 94 which forms part of the glazing assembly 40. The remaining volume of the recess 94 may be filled with, for example, silicone.

[0058] In order to lock the sliding clip 50 more securely in its position in which the glazing assembly 40 has been pressed sufficiently towards the carrying profile 20, the inclined surface 51 has an undulating outer surface (facing the pin element 41), i.e. generally resembling a wave form. Other geometrical shapes of the inclined surface 51 are also possible, in order to lock the sliding clip 50 securely.

[0059] In order to further secure the sliding clip 50 in its final position, it can be provided with a suitable type of locking device (not shown in the drawings) which may cooperate with the glazing assembly 40. In this manner, the sliding clip 50 can be locked in suitable position in which the glazing assembly 40 presses towards the carrying profile 20 as desired.

[0060] Generally, the locking operation of the sliding clip 50, i.e. for pressing the glazing assembly 40 towards the carrying profile 20, can be provided with an alternative clip (not shown in the drawings) which is arranged for a circular movement (instead of a straight, longitudinal movement as described above), i.e. rotating, while acting upon the pin element 41.
