Abstract
Apparatus are provided for a curtain wall anchor system. The curtain wall anchor assembly may include various anchor assemblies. Each possible anchor assembly is intended to reduce labor time and costs and eliminate extraneous steps in the construction process involving curtain walls. Each possible anchor assembly also features an optional component of attaching a concrete anchor for optimizing load paths and solving issues of bending in traditional edge angle pour stops.
Claims15
An edge angle hangar apparatus for use in a curtain wall system, the edge angle hangar comprising:
- an integral anchor channel with a back wall and an upper and lower segment and each segment extending outwardly from the back wall and terminating in a locking flange at a distal end of each segment, the anchor channel extending the length of the edge angle hangar;
- a first face longitudinally coterminous with and extending perpendicular to the upper segment at the distal end and a second face coterminous with and extending perpendicular to and downwardly from the distal end of the lower segment;
- a first wall member with an interior surface and an exterior surface, the upper segment extending outwardly from the first wall member roughly bisecting the first wall member into an upper portion and a lower portion wherein the lower portion is the back wall;
- and
- a second wall member with an interior surface and an exterior surface, the interior surfaces of the first and second wall members separated by an edge angle slot and connected at a web member, wherein the exterior surface of the first wall member is coextensive with the back wall of the anchor channel.

A system for mounting a curtain wall to the exterior structure of a building, the system comprising:
- a hangar apparatus further comprising;
- i) an anchor channel with a back wall, the anchor channel extending the length of the hangar apparatus, wherein the anchor channel further comprises an upper segment and a lower segment extending outwardly from the back wall and both the upper segment and the lower segment terminating in a locking flange, the anchor channel configured for engagement with a first panel of a curtain wall bracket;
- ii) a first wall member with an interior surface and an exterior surface and upper and lower ends;
- iii) a second wall member with an interior surface and an exterior surface and upper and lower ends, the upper ends of the first and second wall members connected at a web member, the first and second walls forming a receiving slot and, wherein the exterior surface of the first wall member is coextensive with the back wall of the anchor channel;
- an edge angle with a vertically oriented member;
- a curtain wall assembly;
- wherein the vertically oriented member of the edge angle is received into the receiving slot of the hangar apparatus and the first panel of the curtain wall bracket is mounted to the integral anchor channel of the hangar apparatus and a second panel of the curtain wall bracket is mounted to the curtain wall assembly thereby providing a path to transfer the load of the curtain wall and wind loads from the curtain wall assembly to the edge angle.

A system for securing a curtain wall to the exterior structure of a building, the system comprising:
- a curtain wall hangar further comprising;
- i) a longitudinally extending anchor channel with a back wall, the anchor channel extending the length of the hangar, wherein the anchor channel further comprises an upper segment and a lower segment extending outwardly from the back wall and both the upper segment and the lower segment terminating in a locking flange;
- ii) a first wall member with an interior surface and an exterior surface and upper and lower ends;
- iii) a second wall member with an interior surface and an exterior surface and upper and lower ends, the upper ends of the first and second wall members conjoined at an arcuate web member, the first and second walls forming a receiving slot and, wherein the exterior surface of the first wall member is coextensive with the back wall of the anchor channel;
- a curtain wall assembly an edge angle with a vertically oriented member;
- a curtain wall bracket further comprising a first panel and a second panel;
- wherein the vertically oriented member of the edge angle is received into the receiving slot of the curtain wall hangar and the first panel of the curtain wall bracket is secured to the anchor channel of the curtain wall hangar and the second panel of the curtain wall bracket is secured to the curtain wall assembly.
