Abstract
A pressure-relieving facade structure for a building has a plurality of slab-like elements, a plurality of retaining legs each extending from one of the slab-like elements toward the facade of the building and having a thickened clamping projection at its free end, and a plurality of elastic receiving elements attached to the facade of the building and releasably receiving the clamping projections of the retaining legs with elastic clamping action.
Claims15
A pressure-relieving facade structure for a building, comprising a plurality of slab-like elements spaced from one another in a first direction and extending in a second direction which is transverse to said first direction which directions lie in a plane substantially parallel to the plane of a facade of a building;
- at least one retaining leg extending from each of said slab-like elements toward the facade normal to the plane of the latter, said retaining leg having a free end portion which faces toward the facade and is thickened;
- and a plurality of elastic receiving elements fixedly attached to the facade of the building and each releasably receiving said thickened end portion of a respective one of said retaining legs with elastic clamping action, each of said receiving elements having a first sealing lip covering said retaining leg of a respective one of said slab-like elements from outside of the latter, and a second sealing lip covering said retaining leg of a respective one of said slab-like elements from inside of the latter.
A pressure-relieving facade structure for a building, comprising a plurality of slab-like elements spaced from one another in a first direction and extending in a second direction which is transverse to said first direction which directions lie in a plane substantially parallel to the plane of a facade of a building;
- at least one retaining leg extending from each of said slab-like elements toward the facade normal to the plane of the latter, said retaining leg having a free end portion which faces toward the facade and is thickened, said thickened end portion of each of said retaining legs being formed as a clamping projection having a cross-section which includes a first section decreasing in a direction toward the facade, and a second section merging into said first section and decreasing in a direction away from the facade;
- and a plurality of elastic receiving elements fixedly attached to the facade of the building and each releasably receiving said thickened end portion of a respective one of said retaining legs with elastic clamping action, each of said receiving elements being provided with a plurality of clamping slots each form-lockingly receiving the clamping projection of a respective one of said retaining legs, said clamping slot of each of said receiving elements being formed by a wall which has one section formed as a clamping lip and engaging said second section of said clamping projection of a respective one of said legs, at a side opposite to the facade, each of said receiving elements having a completely closed cavity which is located farther from the facade than said clamping lip and is limited by the latter.
