  • Structural element system and structural elements of such system for curtain facades, facade linings, sun rooms, soundproofing walls, fair buildings and the like
    Patent number: 7162842
    Abstract: A structural element system for the construction industry has post sections, framed flat elements, holding sections, and seals, wherein, for thermal insulation of the post sections and the framed flat elements, the holding sections are attached on the post sections, wherein the framed flat elements are attached to the holding sections, and wherein the seals together with the post sections form chambers. In the mounted state of the structural element system, the holding sections are enclosed in the chambers. The post section is a box section having at least one rectangular box for securing the holding sections, respectively, wherein the rectangular box has on two parallel outer sides at least two holding lips for securing the holding sections or a connecting member. The system can be used to erect curtain facades, facade linings, transparent roofs, sunrooms, soundproofing walls, fair buildings, carports and the like.

  • Framed surface component, especially for facade cladding, and process for installing it
    Patent number: 5170602
    Abstract: The framed surface component includes a surface component having circumferentially extending abutting surfaces provided with inwardly offset portions, L-shaped cross-sectioned frame legs enclosing the surface component circumferentially, each of the frame legs having one section leg engaging behind the surface component and another sections leg extending spaced from and parallel to a respective circumferentially extending abutting surface, and an adhesive connection between the surface component and the frame legs made with a hardening sealing compound. The sealing compound fills the offset portion in the abutting surfaces between the surface component and a free space between the surface component and the section legs of the frame legs, which section legs extend parallel to the abutting surfaces. The section legs extending parallel to the abutting surfaces of the surface component can each have a widened portion extending from a front side.
