  • Patent number: 11732473
    Abstract: A curtain wall constructed from prefabricated connecting wall elements mounted in rows next to and above each other with the wall elements including a frame of assembled profiles on the inside of the curtain wall and of one or more infill elements on the outside of the curtain wall. The frame contains mullions and transoms in the form of profiles which along the perimeter of the frame have female coupling parts and male coupling parts which allow the adjacent mullions and adjacent transoms in an assembled condition in the curtain wall to engage with their coupling parts to form composite basic profiles, where between two rows of connecting wall elements a horizontal seal has been applied which extends continuously in a horizontal direction over the width of the underlying row.

  • Patent number: 11708695
    Abstract: A curtain wall includes one or more vertically-extending mullions and one or more transoms, each extending horizontally between two mullions and having ends inserted in grooves of these two mullions. The curtain wall also includes at least an inwardly openable panel installed between two mullions, wherein a local adaptation of the two mullions adjacent to the openable panel comprises at least the removal of a laterally directed wall of the inner chamber of each of the two mullions along a height of the openable panel, and wherein the openable panel is installed in the local adaptation of the two mullions adjacent to the openable panel such that, when the openable panel is closed, the openable panel is not distinguishable from a fixedly fitted panel, neither from the inside nor from the outside of the curtain wall.

  • Patent number: 11479969
    Abstract: A curtain wall includes one or more mullion profiles and one or more transom profiles and panels which are mounted in the mullion profiles and in the transom profiles by their edges. The one or more mullion profiles extend vertically and are provided with an undercut groove on two opposite sides which has an access opening. The grooves form a rebate in which the rim of a panel is mounted. The undercut groove has an elongate cross section which is provided, at the one or several of the transverse ends, with a rounded section and/or which is free from roundings with a radius of less than 2 millimeters at one or several of the transverse ends.

  • Patent number: 11047131
    Abstract: The curtain wall includes mullion profiles, transom profiles and one or more panels, where the mullion profiles extend vertically, where the transom profiles each are attached to two mullion profiles and extend horizontally, where the mullion profiles are provided with a groove on each side for receiving the side edge of a panel. The grooves have an access opening, where the access opening has a first fixed dimension or width in a horizontal direction, where the transom profiles have a second dimension in a horizontal direction and at right angles to the profile direction of the transom profiles, where the second dimension is larger than the first dimension, where the transom profiles have a third dimension in a non-horizontal direction at right angles to the profile direction, where the third dimension is smaller than the first dimension.

  • Patent number: 11035120
    Abstract: Curtain wall including mullion profiles, transom profiles and panels, where the mullion profiles extend vertically, with the transom profiles being fixed at right angles to the mullion profiles, where the transom profiles and the mullion profiles define rectangular openings. The panels are placed in the openings to close these openings, where the panels are secured by means of first glazing beads, that are attached to the mullion profile by means of first attachment aids, where the first attachment aids and the mullion profiles are designed to attach the first attachment aids to the mullion profile, where the first attachment aids and the first glazing beads are designed to snap the first glazing beads onto the first attachment aids.

  • Patent number: 11002009
    Abstract: A sealing to seal a wall element with a fixed frame having mullions and transoms with perpendicular ends with which the transoms are attached between the mullions. The fixed frame is fitted with at least one compartment with a rebate for a frame part with an infill element to create a wing that opens, or to replace a damaged infill element, where the seal is intended to create a windproof and watertight connection between the mullions and transoms in the corners of an aforementioned compartment, where the seal is made as a corner piece that is formed and sized such that, on the level of the corners to be sealed, it fits in the form of the rebate in the mullion and transom in question and overlaps and covers the connection between this mullion and transom at the level of the rebate.

  • Patent number: 10934707
    Abstract: A curtain wall constructed from prefabricated connecting wall elements including a frame of assembled profiles on the inside of the curtain wall and of one or more filling elements on the outside. The curtain wall contains a wall element with a two-part frame including two subframes, respectively a fixed frame part and a second frame part fitted with an infill element, where the fixed frame part is located behind the second frame part seen from the outside of the curtain wall, where the fixed frame part is equipped with a rebate into which the second frame part fits and where the relevant filling element is attached to the outside of the curtain wall on the outward looking side of the second frame part using structural silicone in such a way that this outside of the second frame part is entirely covered by the filling element.
