FIELD OF THE INVENTION
[0001] The invention relative to a building connector which is specially refers to a claw
used on glass wall.
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
[0002] Glass curtain wall as building surface has currently been widely used worldwide.
[0003] The Chinese Patent 98233290.4 provides "a glass wall consists of multiple vertical
glass planes formed as a matrix and their supporting truss on the back of the vertical
glasses. The supporting frame has multiple horizontal trusses batter brace adjacent
glasses. Each horizontal truss is connected through trusses dragged horizontally and
vertically. The nose of the truss has a stainless 4 jaws connector, each comer of
the glass has an installation hole to be connected to the 4 jaws connector."
[0004] The Chinese Patent 98233291.2 provides "a glass wall consists of multiple vertical
glass planes formed as a matrix and their supporting cables are set on the back of
the vertical glasses. Supporting cables have multiple axle batter brace adjacent glasses.
The supporting axle has fasten parts, each supporting axle is connected through cables.
On the head of the supporting cables consists of a four clips connector, each comer
of a glass plane has a cone-shaped hole in order to connect the for clips connector."
[0005] The mentioned patents both convert four pieces of glass planes to form a glass wall
through a cross-clip then install the glass wall outsider a building. In fact, the
present market is occupant by this type of "tip connected glass wall".
[0006] However, when consider the production tolerance before installation, the installation
convenience, the anti-seismic ability and the anti-ballistic ability. The simply four
clips connector is unable to fulfill these requirements.
[0007] The Chinese patent 98249186.7 provides clip adjustable structure used in tip contacted
glass wall, the mentioned structure is "a connector used between glass plane and steel
structure in the glass wall. The contact in the structure between the clip, the protruded
sphere piece and the hollowed sphere piece is spherical contact. The structure also
consists of hoist adjustable structure which reduce the production requirement of
glass plane and the precision requirement of connector, it as well simplify the installation
of glass wall."
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
[0008] The purpose of this invention is to provide a brand new structure, an adjustable
structure and a rational designed tip supported glass wall clip.
[0009] To fulfill the mentioned purposes, the technical structure of this invention shown
as fellow:
A point-joint type mounting claw for glass curtain wall claw, which consists of clip
arm and clip tip installed on the head of the said clip arm, the said clip tip is
actively sets on the clip arm;
The optimal method of this invention, the said clip tip is active installed to the
clip arm through screw;
The tip of the said clip arm has external screw thread; the clip tip has internal
crew thread, the clip tip is active screws to the clip arm through crew threads;
The tip of the said clip arm has internal screw thread, the clip tip has external
screw thread, the clip is active screws to the clip arm through crew threads;
Chip tips on one platform have cave shaped installation holes, and on the other platform,
clip tips have circular installation holes;
The said clip tip with cave shaped installation hole is set under the clip tip with
circular installation hole;
Fasten screw nut is set between the said clip tip and the said clip arm;
The said clip arm is "I" shape;
The said clip arm is "X" shape;
When the above mentioned structure applied, during implementation, each part can adjust
the clip according to the relative position to catch a convenient implementation method.
When the invention clip is applied, angles between glass planes are adjustable to
form a curve or right angle glass walls.
BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF DRAWINGS
[0010] Drawings form and only form a part of present specification without any restrictions
to present invention.
Fig. 1 is the main Fig. of one of the implementation method of this invention;
Fig. 2 is the right side view of the Fig. 1;
Fig. 3 is the bottom view of the Fig.1;
Fig. 4 is the main Fig. of another implementation method of this invention.
DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENT
[0011] Below is a detailed implementation method together with drawings which forms and
only forms a part of present specification without any restrictions to the present
invention.
[0012] As shown in Fig. 1 to 3, a tip-supported glass wall clip consists of clip arm 1 and
4 different clip tip 2 installed on four corresponding heads of clip arm 1; the clip
arm forms a "I" shape, the clip arm 1 has four heads and four tips, each head has
external screw threads and each tip 2 has internal screw threads; The clip tip 2 is
actively fasten on the clip arm 1 through threads; between the clip tip 2 and the
clip arm 1 is the fasten screw nut 3. When loose the fasten screw nut 3, the active
clip tip 2 can rotates 360 degree as well can do a relative parallel shift when used
the clip arm 1 as axle. This guarantees the convenience implementation as well relative
adjustment to each corresponding parts through the invention clips during installation.
[0013] Fig. 4 shown another tip supported glass wall clip, which consists of clip arm 1
and four different clip tip 2 installed on four different head of the said clip arm
1; clip arm 1 forms an "X" shape, four different heads of the clip arm 1 have internal
screw threads; four different clip tip 2 have external screw threads, the tip 2 is
active screwed to the clip arm 1 through screw threads; fasten screw nut 3 is set
between the clip tip 2 and the clip arm 1. When loose the fasten screw nut 3, the
active clip tip 2 can rotates 360 degree as well can do a relative parallel shift
when using the clip arm as axle. This guarantees the convenience implementation as
well relative adjustment to each corresponding parts through the invention clips during
installation.
[0014] Meanwhile, on the bottom, there are two clip tips 2 on the same platform have cave
shaped installation holes 4, the bottom two clip tip 2 support the weight of glass
plane, the cave shaped installation hole 4 guarantees the stable and reliable of the
support; on the top, there are two tips 2 on the same platform have circular installation
holes 5, the bottom two clip tip 2 have circular installation hole, therefore, it
has positional purpose rather than fasten purpose, that is, it only wind resistance
without weight support ability. Flexibility connection forms between glasses to ease
concentration of glass force as well automatically replace the shift cause by wind
load, snow load, temperature different as well earth quake, which then increase the
anti-seismic ability and anti-damage ability.
[0015] Above is the optimal implementation of present invention, it will be apparent that
various changes and modifications can be made without departing from the scope of
the invention as defined in the claims.

4. As claimed in claim 2, wherein the head of the said clip arm has internal screw thread
and the clip tip has external screw threat, the clip tip is active installed on the
clip arm through screw thread;
5. As claimed in claim 1, wherein all clip tips on the same platform have cave shaped
installation holes, and clip tips on the other platform have circular installation
holes;
6. As claimed in claim 5; wherein the said clip tips with cave shaped installation holes
