(54) A building facade member and a set of fittings for external mounting in an opening in a building facade and a method of mounting such a facade member


(57) A building facade member (49) is mounted over an opening in a building facade by means of a set of mounting fittings by turning the facade member (49) in a tilting movement following positioning of its lower horizontal hollow profile (52) relative to a first fitting member designed as a profiled rail member (58) mounted on the spandrel portion (59) of the facade opening, towards an unlocked position, in which the lower horizontal hollow profile (52) is supported by said profiled rail member (58).
At the end of said tilting movement, second and third fitting members (67, 69) mounted in the upper ceiling portion (68), and in longitudinally displaceable, but fixably relationship with a groove (56) at the upper side of the upper horizontal profile (51) of the facade member (51), respectively, are brought into mutual engagement, following which the third fitting member (69) is displaced and fixed into a locked position.
