Patent number: 11459771Abstract: Façade structure and/or wall structure for a building including tiles (1) and a support structure (2), in which the tiles (1) are received oriented in each case in a vertical plane. The support structure (2) has vertical tension elements (3), to which bearing bodies (4) are attached axially fixed. The vertical tension elements (3) are allocated to the tiles (1) in such a way that at least one of the vertical tension elements (3) allocated to a tile in each case passes through two holding elements (5) of the tile (1), namely a first holding element (5), which is arranged in a lower area of the tile, and a second holding element (5), which is arranged in an upper area of the tile (1). To mount the tiles on the vertical tension elements (3) it is provided that the bearing bodies (4) attached to the vertical tension elements cooperate with the holding elements (5).Type: GrantFiled: July 9, 2021Date of Patent: October 4, 2022Assignee: Moeding Keramikfassaden GmbHInventors: Claus Girnghuber, Rudolf Wagner, Dietmar Müller

Publication number: 20220098873Abstract: A façade structure and/or wall structure for a building which includes comprises tiles (1) and a support structure (2), in which the tiles (1) are received oriented in each case in the vertical plane. The support structure (2) has taut tension elements (3) with bearing bodies (4) fastened thereto, wherein the taut tension elements (3) are preferably formed as taut support cables or as taut tension rods or the like. The several, or at least one, of the tiles (1) received in the support structure (2) are held directly or indirectly supported on the bearing bodies (4) with a weight-supporting bearing, and/or are held locked by means of the bearing bodies (4). The several or at least one of the bearing bodies (4) are or is attached axially fixed exclusively to tension elements (3) oriented vertically in the support structure (2).Type: ApplicationFiled: January 10, 2020Publication date: March 31, 2022Inventors: Claus Girnghuber, Rudolf Wagner, Dietmar Müller

Publication number: 20220074209Abstract: A façade structure and/or wall structure for a building which includes tiles (1) and a support structure (2), in which the tiles (1) are received oriented in each case in the vertical plane. The support structure (2) has taut tension elements (3). The tiles (1) received in the support structure (2) are mounted in a weight-supporting manner and/or held locked by means of one or more of the allocated tension elements (3), directly and/or via bearing bodies (4) attached to the tension elements (3). The several or at least one of the tiles (1) are or is allocated in each case at least one holding element (5). For anchoring to the tile (1), the holding element (5) has at least one anchoring portion that can be anchored in a receiver (1hn) of the tile, and/or cooperates with an anchor (6) received in a receiver (1hn) of the tile (1), and wherein the holding element (5) has at least one tension element gripping portion for gripping on at least one of the tension elements (3) allocated to the tiles (1).Type: ApplicationFiled: January 10, 2020Publication date: March 10, 2022Inventors: Claus Girnghuber, Rudolf Wagner, Dietmar Müller
