(54) A curtain wall system with micro condensate channel


(57) The present invention relates to a curtain wall system which is comprised of profiles (1,2) which canalize the rain water entering inside the system by means of the waved inner surface geometry of the mullion/ transom profiles (1,2), and thus prevent the water from entering interior medium and direct the water to the drainage path; and which have screw slots enabling the connection member (11) such as screw etc. to progress and hold on during fixing the filling material such as glass etc. (10) via the connection member (11), and at the same time which have bridge (1.3, 2.3) preventing the screwed surfaces from moving away from each other, and which have inner tabs (1.4, 2.4) in which the reinforcement profile is slid and mounted.




Description

Field of the Invention



[0001] The present invention relates to a curtain wall system which is comprised of profiles having special channels which prevent rain waters from entering indoor, slots which enable the screws to hold onto the profiles all along the screw and protrusions which enable to reinforce with strengthening profile.

Background of the Invention



[0002] In the state of the art, the condensate channel in the present stick wall systems, the water channel, is comprised of straight lines, and this cause the possible rain water problems and condensation water to suffuse on these surfaces and thus the water to reach easily into the critical parts that may cause leakage to the indoor.

[0003] When the current stick system profiles are screwed in order to fix the current stick system profiles after the surface member such as glass etc is placed, the part to which it is screwed is comprised of two long legs having directing channels which are hollow rectangle or compatible with the screw pitch. In the screwing process applied on the rectangular parts, the section which is screwed is not to be thick, and this requires preboring. And when the screwing is carried out between two long legs having directing channels compatible with the screw pitch, the two long legs extend sideways.

Summary of the Invention



[0004] The objective of the present invention is to decrease the tendency of the rain water entering indoors by means of the waved (trapeze, zigzag etc.) present in the mullion and transom profiles and to direct to the drainage path.

[0005] Another objective of the present invention is to prevent the screw to be grazed by the screwed surfaced moving away from each other in screwing the filling material such as glass etc. to the mullion and/or transom profiles by means of pressure profile

[0006] A further objective of the present invention is to enable the screw to hold onto the profile not only as much as the wall thickness to which it is screwed but also all along the whole screw in process of screwing the filling material such as glass etc. to the mullion and/or transom profiles by means of the pressure profile.

[0007] Yet another objective of the present invention is to mount strengthening reinforcing profile by sliding inside the mullion/transom profile by means of the tabs present on the mullion/transom profile.

Detailed Description of the Invention



[0010] In this detailed description, preferred embodiments of the inventive curtain wall system with micro condensate channels are described only for better understanding of the subject and in such a manner that it will not produce any limiting effect.

[0011] The mullion profiles (1) are fixed to the building carrier system using anchorages at certain intervals. The transom profiles (2) are mounted on the mullion profiles (1) by using transom-mullion cleat profiles and/or without using transom-mullion cleat profiles. After the mounting of the transom profiles (2) is completed, inside glazing gaskets (5) are mounted into the groove for gaskets (1.5, 2.5) of the mullion and transom profiles (1,2). Thermal barriers (7) are mounted on the mullion and/or transom profiles (1,2) manually. The mechanical support members (8) are mounted on the transom profiles (2). The setting blocks (9) are placed on the mechanical support members (8). Filling materials such as glass etc. (10) are placed onto the setting blocks (9). Outside glazing gaskets (6) are mounted on the pressure profile (3), then the pressure profile (3) is mounted on the mullion and/or transom profiles (1,2) by using connection member (11). During mounting, connection member (11) such as screw etc. can be screwed with more infrequent intervals by means of the screw channel (1.2, 2.2) and can hold onto the surface along the all screw. At the same time, the screwed surfaces will not move away from each other by means of the bridge (1.3, 2.3) on the profile (1, 2). By this means, the screw is prevented from being grazed from its place. The cover profiles (4) are mounted on the pressure profiles (3) and the mounting is completed. Reinforcement profiles (16) used in order to compensate the high wind loads and static loads are mounted by being slid between the tabs (1.4, 2.4) present in the inner space of the mullion and/or transom profiles (1, 2).
