Description

[0001] METHOD OF INSTALLING FACING PANELS AND A DEVICE FOR ITS IMPLEMENTATION

[0002] The present invention relates to the field of industrial and civil construction, namely to building metal structures consisting of long load-bearing metal elements, in particular to profiles used in the cladding of building gables and imparting aesthetic qualities to construction objects, as well as for protection from external atmospheric influences.

[0003] Metal siding is a cladding material that imitates wood paneling or natural stone. It consists of profiled panels of galvanized steel with a polymer coating. The manufacturer produces metal siding using a cold-rolling process. The sheets are first hot-dip galvanized. Galvanizing enhances the protective anti-corrosion properties of the building material. The manufacturer coats the metal panel with various polymer coatings, including satin, velor, polyester, and valor. This coating lends decorative appeal and appeal to the iron siding. A bright or matte surface, painted in one of the classic RAL shades, enlivens the space. Printed surfaces can imitate wood or stone walls. Metal siding is used for façade cladding on private homes, industrial buildings, car washes, cafes, and stores.

[0006] SUBSTITUTE SHEET (RULE 26) and bends for fastening during installation (htps: / / www.alta-profil.Known is the OMEGA facing profile, manufactured by profiling from cold-rolled metals, including those with coatings, having a shelf with two stiffening ribs and two legs with bends, each stiffening rib is made with two bends and is located on the profile shelf with an indent from the adjacent leg at a distance equal to half the height of the leg, so that the said ribs form stabilizing strips at each profile leg, and the part of the profile shelf between the stiffening ribs is deepened inside the profile by 2-3 mm, while each stiffening rib is profiled with work hardening so that it forms an angle of 90 to 135 degrees at one of its bends with the stabilizing strip and forms the same angle of 90 to 135 degrees at its second bend with the profile shelf, forming a zone work hardening of a size not less than the height of the profile leg (Russian Federation patent for invention RU 2752831, C2, published 09.08.2021).

[0007] A common drawback of known devices is the lack of protection from precipitation and the difficulty in vertical installation of facing panels.

[0008] A known method for installing metal siding involves installing a composite finishing strip, securing it to the junction of the top edge of the wall and the base of the eaves with screws. When installing the first siding panel, the top edge of the panel is inserted into the installed finishing strip and secured with screws. The lower perforated edge is secured to the frame. When installing the second and subsequent siding panels, the top edge of the second panel is inserted into the bottom edge of the first panel. The lower perforated edge is secured with screws to metal guides.

[0012] SUBSTITUTE SHEET (RULE 26)The task set in the creation of the proposed method and device is to eliminate the above-mentioned shortcomings, expand the possibilities and options for installing facing panels.

[0013] The technical result is the creation of a device that allows for the vertical installation of cladding panels, as well as changing the direction of panel installation during the process of cladding the gable of a building.

[0014] The technical result is achieved in that the method for installing facing panels is characterized by the fact that a device for installing facing panels on the gable of a building is installed as a starting element, adjoining the roof cornice with the rear leg, then it is fastened through the front and rear bends with screws or rivets to the plane of the gable, the pre-prepared facing panel is inserted with its end part into a U-shaped groove, fixed with screws or rivets, a new facing panel is inserted into the locking part of the fixed panel, and its end part is inserted into the U-shaped groove and fixed to the plane of the gable.

[0015] The method of installing facing panels and the device for its implementation are explained in the following drawings:

[0017] Fig. 2 shows a diagram of the vertical installation of facing panels.

[0018] Fig. 3 shows a diagram of the horizontal installation of facing panels.

[0019] Fig. 4 shows a diagram of the installation of a device for installing facing panels as a dividing element.

[0020] A device for installing facing panels, manufactured using the profiling method from cold-rolled metals, including

[0021] 3

[0022] SUBSTITUTE SHEET (RULE 26) with coverings, contains: front bend 1 and rear bend 6, the front bend is made wider in length relative to the rear bend, rear leg 5, shelf 4, as well as front leg 3 made with a U-shaped groove 2, rear leg 5 is made greater in height relative to front leg 3, which has an S-shaped profile, shelf 4 is inclined at an angle of less than 90°, relative to the perpendicular plane of the rear leg.

[0023] It should be noted that the presented example of using the claimed method for installing cladding panels and the device for implementing it does not limit possible design changes and modifications using prior art solutions within the scope and essence of the appended claims. A preferred embodiment is provided below.

[0024] The cladding panel installation device is the starting element and is used for installing cladding panels on a building's gable using the top-down installation method. It allows for the installation of cladding panels both horizontally (Fig. 3), relative to the horizontal plane, and vertically (Fig. 2). This expands the installation options for cladding panels and provides an additional aesthetic effect.

[0025] The method of installing facing panels is as follows.

[0026] The device for installing facing panels is installed on the gable of the building, adjoining the rear leg 5 to the roof eaves (Fig. 2). Then it is fastened through the front 1 and rear bends 6 with fastening elements 8, for example, self-tapping screws or rivets, to the plane of the gable. The facing panel 7 is preliminarily prepared by cutting a part of the panel web at an angle corresponding to the angle of inclination of the eaves. The end part of the prepared facing panel 7 is inserted into the groove 2 and fixed along the length of the panel. Next, a new prepared facing panel 7 is inserted into the locking part of the fixed panel, and its end part is inserted into the groove 2 and fixed to the plane 4

[0027] REPLACEMENT SHEET (RULE 26) of the gable. The operation is then repeated with a new panel until the gable is completely covered.

[0028] As a result, the panels are connected to each other using only connecting locks, eliminating gaps between panels and allowing for a sufficiently rigid structure to be assembled directly onto the building's gable. The U-shaped groove 2 on the front leg 3 serves as a process unit for assembling the cladding panels 7. Using a device for installing the cladding panels eliminates the need to secure the end portion of each individual panel, preserving the panel geometry and providing the necessary protection against precipitation from entering the interior cavity. The rigidity of the structure is ensured by the combination of the locking portion along the length of the cladding panels 7 and the groove 2, into which the cladding panels 7 are inserted end-on.

[0029] There is an option for installing facing panels 7 horizontally (Fig. 3). The installation device for installing facing panels is similar to the preferred option. Facing panels 7 are inserted into U-shaped groove 2 along the length of the panel, with the locking portion facing outward and secured to the gable plane. Next, the next panel is inserted into the locking portion of the first panel, and the end of the panel is placed into groove 2. This completes the gable plane.

[0030] There is also an option of using the device for installing facing panels as a dividing element (Fig. 4). The device for installing facing panels, at the point of separation of the panels, is inserted with the rear bend 6 into the locking part of the horizontally installed facing panels 7, and the front bend 1 is fixed to the plane of the gable. Then, the facing panel 7 is installed vertically, with the end part inserted into the groove 2 and fixed to the plane of the gable, the next panel is installed similarly to the preferred example. This provides the possibility of

[0031] SUBSTITUTE SHEET (RULE 26)change the direction of installation of the facing panels, which also increases the options for installing the panels.

[0032] The proposed method for installing facing panels and the device for its implementation allow for vertical installation of facing panels and a faster panel installation process, due to the fact that the geometry of the groove profile and the ends of the panel is designed in such a way that it allows for the formation of elastic docking locks with other panels simultaneously from the edge and end of the panel, and also eliminates the risk of moisture and precipitation getting inside the gable.
