Abstract
A mounting system comprises base structural supports and connecting structural supports which are fastened horizontally to vertical structural supports. The vertical structural supports are connected to a building wall. Each base structural support has a U-like cross section, in which the upwardly directed leg that is further away from the building wall is shorter than the leg fastened to the vertical structural supports. Each connecting structural support has a short, upwardly and downwardly directed leg that is further away from the building wall than a vertical leg that is connected to the vertical structural supports. A horizontal leg which has a flexible elastic insert at its open end, adjoins the lower end of the vertical leg.
Claims19
A mounting system for panels for use in facade cladding on buildings and for invisibly fastening the panels on structural supports said mounting system being adapted to be connected to a building wall, wherein the mounting system comprises
- a) at least one base structural support and at least one connecting structural support, which base and connecting structural supports are fastened horizontally to at least one vertical structural support, the vertical structural support being connectable to a building wall;
- b) wherein each base structural support has a U-shaped cross section;
- which has a first upwardly directed leg attached to the vertical structural support, which first upwardly directed leg is connected at a lower end thereof to an end of a horizontal leg;
- and a second upwardly directed leg connected to another end of the horizontal leg further away from the vertical structural support;
- and
- c) wherein each connecting structural support has a U-shaped cross section having a central vertical leg that is connected to the vertical structural supports, an upper horizontal leg being attached at one end thereof to an upper end of the vertical leg and having a short upwardly and downwardly directed leg attached to the upper horizontal leg at another end thereof away from the vertical structural support;
- and a lower horizontal leg connected at one end thereof to the vertical leg at a lower end thereof, the lower horizontal leg having an open end at another end thereof away from the vertical leg;
- and a flexible elastic insert being provided at the open end.
A mounting system for panels for use in facade cladding on buildings and for invisible fastening of the panels on structural supports said mounting system being adapted to be connected to a building wall, wherein the mounting system (1) comprises base structural supports (2;
- 3) and connecting structural supports (4;
- 5) which are fastened horizontally to vertical structural supports (6), the vertical structural supports (6) being connectable to the building wall (7), wherein each base structural support (2;
- 3) has a U-like cross section, in which cross section the upwardly directed leg (8) is shorter than the leg (9) fastened to the vertical structural supports (6), and wherein each connecting structural support (4;
- 5) has a short, upwardly and downwardly directed leg (10) that is connected to the vertical structural supports (6), a horizontal leg (22, 24), which has a flexible elastic insert (13) at its open end, adjoining the lower end of a vertical leg (11).
