Abstract
A window or door frame for a structural facade, of the type having punctually suspended panes, comprises at least a first pane capable of moving, whereto a gasket is operatively associated, able to pass from a respective operative condition to a respective inoperative condition, and vice versa, as well as an actuating unit, able to be selectively operated to cause passage of said gasket between the respective operative and inoperative conditions.
Claims20
A structural facade (1) comprising
- a plurality of panes or the like (2, 2′), in particular made of transparent material, locally suspended in side by side positions substantially according to a same plane of lay,
- a fixed structure (3) whereto support means (4, 5, 5′, 5″) for the panes (2, 2′) are associated, the support means (4, 5, 5′, 5″) of each pane (2, 2′) comprising a plurality of connecting devices (5),
- where each connecting device (5, 5′, 5″) is sustained, at one side, by means of the fixed structure (3) and is fastened, at another side, in a localised area of the respective pane (2, 2′), and where each pane (2, 2′) has at least one edge that is contiguous to an edge of another pane (2, 2′), between the contiguous edges sealing means (6, 7) being provided, characterised in that
- at least a first of said panes (2′) is capable of moving (2′) relative to said plane of lay,
- said sealing means (6,7) comprise first sealing means (7) co-operating with said first pane (2′) and able to be operated to pass from a respective operative condition to a respective inoperative condition, and vice versa,
- first actuating means (14) are provided, able to be selectively operated to cause passage of the first sealing means (7) between the respective operative and inoperative conditions.

- at least a first one of said panes (2′), which is capable of moving (2′) relative to said plane of lay and with which first sealing means (7) co-operate, able to be driven to pass from a respective operative condition to a respective inoperative condition, and vice versa,
- first actuating means (14), able to be selectively operated to determine passage of said first sealing means (7) between the respective operative and inoperative conditions.
