Abstract
The terrace glasswork, which is particularly simple to adapt to building conditions, contains the following features: (a) It is made up of a vaulted roof, which is supported above on an existing wall and below on the terrace floor; as well as two gable parts. (b) The roof is made up along its length of several identical, glassed in arch components, the side frame parts of which can be joined and sealed to one another. Each of the latter has two movable glass panes (17, 20) guided so as to slide at different levels. (c) The gable parts are each made up of three gable components, namely of a square basic component (4) and two connecting components (5a, 6a) each of which to the arch components, and which connects together two right-angled frame sides of the basic component (4).
Claims22
Terrace glass enclosure comprising
- (a) an arched roof supported at its top by an existing wall and at its bottom by a terrace floor,
- (b) said roof being constituted of a plurality of similar arch elements having lateral frame parts adapted to movably guide two glass panes in different planes, said arched roof at its opposite sides being closed off by gable parts each comprising
- (c) three gable elements in turn comprising a rectangular basic element and two connecting elements, each connecting element comprising a frame arch shaped to correspond to the arch elements and two mutually perpendicular frame legs, one of which constitutes a leg of the rectangular basic element, said glass panes having handles at their lower ends, said handles having laterally projecting cams, which either engage or clear stops on the frame parts as a function of the operative condition of the handles.
