Description

anchor for facade

[0001] The invention relates to an anchoring system for a facade. Prior art

[0002] The invention relates to an anchoring system for a facade. It is known to double a wall, especially an exterior wall. In this case, the system to be installed comprises brackets fixed to the wall. These brackets are directly fixed to the wall and are distributed over the surface of said wall to be doubled. This distribution makes it possible to create zones in which strips of insulating material are placed, preferably between the brackets. These strips of insulating material are fixed to the wall by means of dowels which pierce the strips.

[0003] Fixing the brackets and dowels requires first drilling holes in the wall. These holes are used to screw the brackets in and insert the dowels.

[0004] There are many disadvantages. The first of these is that the dowel holes, once covered by the strips of insulating material, are not visible. In fact, the holes in the wall are generally drilled by holding the insulation against the wall with the hands: drilling therefore makes it possible to make a hole in both the strip and the wall. Thus, the installer sometimes finds it difficult to find the holes in the wall to insert the dowels, especially depending on the nature of the insulation or if there has been a shift in the position of the said insulation.

[0005] A second disadvantage is that drilling holes in a wall requires the use of a drill, which generates noise and vibrations. In the case of an exterior wall, the drill to be used is of such power that the noise and vibrations generated are significant, causing discomfort both for the installer and for individuals near the site.

[0006] The present invention aims to provide an anchoring system which overcomes the drawbacks of the prior art by being simpler to use and which makes it possible to reduce noise pollution and vibrations.

[0007] To this end, the invention relates to an anchoring module comprising a plate, said plate comprising at least one rod for the insertion of an insulating material and at least one hole for fixing said plate to the surface of a wall by fixing means, said anchoring module further comprising a profile associated with said plate, said profile comprising at least one hole opposite said hole in the plate.

[0008] The present invention makes it possible to provide an anchoring module capable of supporting a frame and an insulating material and thus requiring less drilling in the wall to be lined.

[0009] According to one example, the plate comprises at least one housing allowing said profile to be placed there.

[0010] In one example, the housing is formed by a hollow or a groove delimiting an area.

[0011] For example, the plate has a square or rectangular shape, or a T or cross shape.

[0012] In one example, the rod is removable.

[0013] According to one example, the rod has a thread capable of making the rod cooperate with a rod head.

[0014] In one example, the rod has a skewer head having a section or diameter greater than the rest of the rod.

[0015] According to one example, the plate and the profile comprise at least two holes, the holes of the plate being opposite the holes of the profile.

[0016] According to one example, the profile is in direct contact with the plate or in direct contact with the intermediate layer, said intermediate layer being in direct contact with the plate

[0017] The invention further relates to a wall comprising at least one anchoring module according to the invention, said at least one anchoring module being fixed to said wall, said wall further comprising at least one panel of insulating material, said panel of insulating material being mounted on said anchoring module.

[0018] According to one example, the plate and the profile of the anchoring module are fixed by at least one screw passing through the hole in the profile and the hole in the plate opposite each other.

[0019] According to the invention, the wall comprises a plurality of anchoring modules, each anchoring module is arranged to anchor at least two panels.

[0020] According to one example, the profiles of the anchoring modules are such that they protrude from the inserted insulating material, allowing said profiles to carry at least one rail.

[0021] According to one example, said at least one rail is used to carry partition plates.

[0022] The invention further relates to a method for lining a wall comprising the following steps:Providing at least one anchoring module according to the invention;Drilling said wall with a number of holes equal to the number of holes in the plate of the at least one anchoring moduleAssembling the profile of the at least one anchoring module to said plate with a number of screws equal to the number of holes in the plate and the profile, these screws also allowing the anchoring module to be fixed to the wall;Providing at least one panel of insulating material and skewering it onto at least one rod of the anchoring module;Providing at least one rail and fixing it to the profile of said at least one anchoring module;Providing at least one lining plate and fixing it to said at least one rail.

[0034] The invention shown in is an anchoring module. Such an anchoring module 100 comprises a plate 101. This plate 101 is intended to be fixed to the wall of a wall.

[0035] This plate 101 has a thickness of at most 10 mm and is made of a metallic or plastic material or any other possible material, said plastic may be a polymer or resin or other, said plastic may also be fiber reinforced. A plastic material has a thermal advantage compared to metallic type materials. Indeed, a plastic type material has the advantage of reducing thermal bridges compared to a metallic material.

[0036] For this, the plate 101 comprises at least one hole for fixing said plate to the wall as visible in the. This fixing of the plate can be done by fixing means such as a screw or a dowel.

[0037] This plate 101 further comprises at least one rod 102. This rod 102 extends from said plate 101 in an orthogonal manner. This rod 102 can be in different forms. This rod 101 is capable of skewering an insulating material M. This allows said rod to hold said insulating material. This insulating material M is in the form of a panel.

[0038] In a first form, the rod 102 is able to cooperate with a rod head 103 as visible in the figure. The rod 102 and the rod head 103 are arranged to cooperate. For this, the rod 102 and the rod head 103 can be arranged to screw to each other or to fix to each other by clipping or by bayonet fixing or any other means. Thus, once the insulating material is skewered by the rod, the rod head is fixed to said rod to hold the insulating material in place. Preferably the rod has a constant section. The rod 102 can also have a non-constant section, which tapers at its end.

[0039] In a second form visible in the, the rod 102 comprises, at its free end, a skewer head 1020. This skewer head 1020 has a section or diameter greater than the section or diameter of the rod. This configuration allows, during skewering, the rod to pierce the insulating material. Once the material has been pierced, the skewer head 1020 makes it possible to retain said insulating material, in order to keep it in place.

[0040] The use of the first form or the second form depends, in part, on the type of insulating material M used. Indeed, for a material of the wool or insulating fiber type such as glass wool or rock wool, the second form will be used instead. Indeed, these materials are capable of compressing under the effect of a stress and of returning to their initial shape when the stress is released. Thus, skewering the insulating material applies a stress to it which is released when the skewering head 1020, said skewering head therefore opposes, in part, the return of the insulating material to the initial shape to hold it in place as visible in figures 5 and 6.

[0041] In the case of an insulating material that is not capable of compressing and returning to its initial shape, the first shape of the rod is preferred. Indeed, the rod 102, which has a uniform diameter, grips the material that does not compress. Thus, the rod head 103 allows the said insulating material to be held in place. These insulating materials may be a polystyrene plate or other similar materials.

[0042] The plate 101 may comprise several rods 102, at least two, which are distributed uniformly or not. It is then understood that the rods 102 may be placed symmetrically with respect to each other, or in pairs.

[0043] The rod(s) 102 are arranged on the plate 101 to be attached or not. It is understood by this that the rod(s) 102 may be one with the plate or that the rod(s) and the plate are separate parts. In the case where the rod(s) 102 are attached to the plate, attachment means are provided such as screwing or snap-fastening.

[0044] According to the invention, the anchoring module 100 further comprises a profile 110. This profile 110 is such that it extends orthogonally to the plane of the plate 101. This profile can have different shapes. In the different cases, the profile 110 comprises at least one so-called base portion 111 from which at least one other portion 112 extends to obtain a profile 110 having an L or U or V shape ( / _ / ) as visible in the. This profile 110 is capable of being associated with said plate. This association consists of fixing the profile to the plate. This fixing of the profile to the plate is direct, that is to say that the so-called base portion 111 of the profile is, preferably, in direct contact with the plate. It is however possible to have an intermediate layer between the plate and the profile but it is then understood that the so-called base portion 111 of the profile is in contact with the intermediate layer, itself in contact with the plate.Thus, when the insulating material panel is mounted on the rod 102, the profile extends into the insulating material. It is then understood that the profile can also be mounted on the insulating material panel or be inserted between insulating panels as seen in figures 17 and 18.

[0045] The profile 110 comprises at least one hole 113 for the passage of a screw for fixing the profile as visible in the figure. This hole 113 is arranged at the base portion. According to the invention, said at least one hole 113 of the profile is placed so as to be opposite said at least one hole 1010 of the plate 110 as visible in the figure. In the case of a profile 110 and a plate 101 comprising several holes, the holes of the plate and the holes of the profile are placed so as to be opposite each other. This arrangement advantageously makes it possible to have only two holes to be made for fixing the plate and the profile. Over an entire section of wall, the number of holes that must be made is thus reduced. Reducing the number of holes makes it possible to reduce noise pollution and vibrations.

[0046] In a preferred variant, the plate 101 comprises a housing 1012 as seen in Figures 10 and 11. This housing 1012 consists of a hollowed or delimited space. It is understood by this that the housing comprises a hollow in which the profile is placed or comprises a groove delimiting an area. This area or this housing allows the so-called base portion of the profile to be placed there. This housing or this area is the place in which the holes are located.

[0047] Thus, the fixing of the anchoring module 100 consists of making at least one hole in said wall, said wall to be lined, the number of holes depending on the number of holes in the plate. The plate is then pressed against the wall in order to align the hole(s) in the plate with the hole(s) in the wall.

[0048] Then, the operator takes the profile 110 and places it on the plate 101, in the housing provided for this purpose. He can then use one or more screws to screw the plate and the profile to the wall.

[0049] According to the invention, the wall to be lined comprises a plurality of anchoring modules 100 according to the invention. These anchoring modules 100 are distributed over the surface of said wall. The placement of the anchoring modules 100 depends on the configuration of the plate 101. Depending on the configuration, the shape of the plate, the distribution of the anchoring modules can vary. In the case of removable rods, these are fixed to the plate 101.

[0050] Once the anchor modules 100 are fixed, the panels of insulating materials are fixed to the wall. For this, the panels are skewered onto the rods of the anchor modules 100. In the case of rods with ends cooperating with rod heads, these are fixed to the rods to allow said insulating material to be fixed to the wall.

[0051] The configurations of the plate are multiple as visible in figures 14 to 16. These can be arranged to carry one rod 102, two rods or more than two rods: an even or odd number. The plate 101 can be rectangular or square or have a T or cross shape: X or +. For example, for a rectangular plate with a length much greater than the width, said plate carries two rods, arranged symmetrically with respect to each other.

[0052] In another example, with a T-shaped plate 101, said plate carries three rods whereas for an X-shaped or +-shaped plate, four rods are arranged on the plate.

[0053] Once the insulating material is skewered onto the rods, the profiles are such that they protrude as seen in Figures 12 and 18. This configuration allows the profile to be used to carry one or more rails 200. These rails 200 are used as a frame to carry plasterboard type panels 300 or any type of panel usable for a wall as seen in.

[0054] Thus, the method for lining a wall is obtained, comprising the following steps:Provide at least one anchoring module 100,Drill said wall with a number of holes equal to the number of holes in the plate of the at least one anchoring module,Assemble the profile of the at least one anchoring module to said plate with a number of screws equal to the number of holes in the plate and the profile, these screws also allowing the anchoring module to be fixed to the wall,Provide at least one panel of insulating material and skewer it onto at least one rod of the anchoring module,Provide at least one rail and fix it to the profile of said at least one anchoring module,Provide at least one lining plate and fix it to said at least one rail.

[0055] Of course, the present invention is not limited to the illustrated example but is susceptible to various variants and modifications which will appear to those skilled in the art.
