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).
1. A curtain wall system comprising mullion (1), transom (2) or angular profiles which
prevent water flow from entering inside the indoor medium by canalizing the water
entering inside the system inside the inner surfaces of the profiles (1, 2) and have
condensate channels (1.1, 2.1) having waved (zigzag, trapeze, square, rectangular,
triangle etc.) geometry and enable the water to be directed towards the drainage path,
profiles (1, 2) which have screw channel (slot ) (1.2, 2.2) enabling the connection
member such as screw (11) to progress, hold onto the fixing surfaces during fixing
the mounting screws (11), which fix the filling material such as glass etc. (10) to
the profiles; and profiles with connection parts (bridges) (1.3, 2.3) which prevent
the screwed surfaces (walls) from moving away (extend) from each other, during fixing
process.
2. A curtain wall system according to claim 1, comprising mullion and transom profiles
(1, 2) which prevent water flow from entering inside of the building by canalizing
the water entering inside the system, to the inner surfaces of the profiles (1, 2)
by means of its micro condensate channels (1.1, 2.1) having waved (zigzag, trapeze,
square, rectangular, triangle etc.) geometry and enable the water to be directed towards
the drainage path.
3. A curtain wall system according to Claim 1, comprising mullion (1) and transom (2)
profiles with screw channel (slot) (1.2, 2.2), in which connection member (11) such
as screw etc are progressed, held onto the surfaces, in order that filling materials
such as glass etc are fixed to the mullion or transom, and connections (bridge) (1.3,
2.3), which prevent the screwed surfaces (walls) from moving away (extend) from each
other.
4. A curtain wall according to Claim 1, comprising mullion and transom profiles which
are mounted by the reinforcement profile (16) being slid without using connection
member (11) by means of the tabs (1.4, 2.4) it has.
