Abstract
Description
SolSeil is a system which has been designed to be a combined solution for facade access and thermal control Increasing complex facades and carbon neutral building targets along with evolving safety standards demand integrated solutions. The main aluminium extrusion with walkable elements, aerofoil blade and trackable channel [2] enables it to be used with fall arrest or abseil trolleys [3]. In the drawings Figure 1 illustrates the extrusion profile of the walkable aerofoil blade. Figure 2 Illustrates the walkable aerofoil blade. Figure 3 illustrates a fall safety trolley. Description of drawings 1. Walkable Aerofoil blade. 2. Fall safety trolley channel. 3. Fall safety trolley.
Claims
The aluminium tracked walkable passive shading product [1] can be incorporated with modifications and variations without deviating from the scope of this invention. Therefore, the following claims will cover modifications and variations which fall within the scope of this invention.
1. An aerofoil blade which is walkable.
2. In accordance with claim one, whereby an aerofoil blade features a structural track to be used with PPE trolleys.
3. A structural safety system which simultaneously provides the function of solar shading or other properties associated with Brise Soleil providing a method of faqade access.
4. In accordance with claim one, whereby the system features other decorative or shading elements.
