- the vertical length of a panel bracket 22 (from the bottom of the mounting insert 26 to the top of the head is slightly less than the vertical spacing 16 a so that the panel bracket 22 can engage a mounting rail at each end of the panel bracket as follows.

- the bracket tail 22 b becomes cinched between the gripping surface 34 a and the pivot point structure 32 . Flexure of the gripping flange 34 or the pivot point structure 32 , or both, allows the receiving slot 36 to open slightly so that the slot depth 36 b will accommodate the tail thickness 22 d, with the gripping flange 34 bearing against the bracket tail 22 b.
- the mounting rails 16 thus holds the bottom of the panel in a manner that will permit the bracket tail 22 b to move (subject to overcoming friction from the gripping surface 34 a and the pivot point structure 32 ).
- the bracket head on the panel 14 is secured to the anchor portion 38 of the mounting rails 16 as shown in FIG.
- the bracket head of the uppermost panel which will not have another panel mounted above it, can be mounted to a mounting rail which has only an anchor portion; there would be no need for a gripping flange or pivot point structure. Accordingly, the uppermost mounting rail in the bracket system 10 can have a different configuration from other mounting rails, as seen, in one embodiment, in uppermost mounting rail 40 shown in FIG. 11 , which provides a mount base 30 ′ for engaging a building vertical 18 and an anchor portion 38 ′ to which a panel bracket head 22 a can be secured, as shown in FIG. 16 .
- the mounting rails 16 are mounted on the building by securing them to building verticals 18 .
- the building verticals have a T-cross section as shown for building vertical 18 a in FIG. 12 .
- the ‘cross-bar’ section 18 b of the T provides a surface against which the mounting base 26 of a mounting rail 16 can rest and be secured to the building vertical 18 a.
- the ‘post’ portion 18 c of the building vertical 18 a is received into the slot of a clip designed into an anchor bracket 20 a.
- Anchor bracket 20 a has an anchor base 20 b which is secured to a building, and an anchor flange 20 c which extends away from the building and into which is formed a clip 20 d to define a slot into which the post portion 18 c is received.
- the two can be secured together, e.g., by a screw or bolt.
- a screw or bolt through the anchor base 20 b secures the anchor bracket 20 a to the building.
- FIG. 13 A resulting configuration is depicted in FIG. 13 wherein a layer of insulation 42 , which may comprise PVC foam pads or any other suitable material, is applied to the building 12 between the building verticals 18 .
- the building vertical is configured as a rectangular vertical 18 d which is secured to the building by being secured to an anchor bracket 20 e which has an anchor base 20 f from which a pair of parallel anchor flanges 20 g extend to define a space between them sufficient to receive the rectangular vertical 18 d between them.
- an anchor bracket 20 e which has an anchor base 20 f from which a pair of parallel anchor flanges 20 g extend to define a space between them sufficient to receive the rectangular vertical 18 d between them.
- An apparatus, system and method for mounting panels on a building as described herein offers several advantageous features.
- the components are delivered to site and assembled piecemeal.
- the aluminum framework can be assembled in sections of site and delivered to site in prefabricated panels for erection on site, and thereafter the cladding panels are attached in the normal manner.
- the system can be used to mount very large ceramic panels, for example, up to about 3.5 meters (m) ⁇ 1.6 m (about 11.5 feet (ft) ⁇ 5.25 ft) in size.
- Prior art systems have the drawback that, if mounting large ceramic panels, the dead-load of the panel is normally carried either on two anchor points at the top of the panel, or via grooves in the horizontal edges of the panel.
- the profile of the mounting rail bracket is such that, as the ceramic façade panel is positioned into its correct alignment upon the horizontal rails, the floating tail of the straps attached to the rear of the ceramic panel become tightly fitting in a cantilever action upon the horizontal rail.
- the straps are slightly in tension when finally positioned and this tension provides a secure fixing point for the panel, preventing wind rattle under wind-load.
- the profile of the mounting rail bracket is designed such that, the floating tail of the straps mounted onto the back of ceramic façade panels can accommodate horizontal and vertical movement without inducing stress in the ceramic panel, which is a brittle material and must not be subject to stresses caused by wind-load, thermal movement or seismic movement.
- Still another benefit of the floating tail within mounting rail bracket is the ability for the installed panels to accommodate substantial lateral displacement resulting from seismic activity.
- Prior art systems as previously patented, do not have the ability to accommodate horizontal and vertical displacement in seismic activity, without damage to or detachment of the ceramic façade panels.
- the mounting rail brackets are provided with multiple slotted and circular punched apertures along their top and bottom edges. These fixing points accommodate both thermal movement and provide resistance to damage caused by seismic activity.
- the system has open horizontal and vertical joints and this is a feature of the system which allows pressure equalisation and ventilation of the cavity behind the façade.
- first, second, and the like, herein do not denote any order, quantity, or importance, but rather are used to distinguish one element from another.
- the terms “a” and “an” herein do not denote a limitation of quantity, but rather denote the presence of at least one of the referenced item.
Abstract
A mounting rail for attachment to a building has a base with a top edge and a bottom edge. A pivot member projects from the base and provides a pivot point structure. A gripping flange extends from the base toward the pivot point structure and provides a gripping surface between the bottom edge and the pivot point structure. A slot is thus formed in the mounting rail. The mounting rail also has an anchor portion between the gripping surface and the bottom edge. A mounting system for mounting panels on a building includes mounting rails and a plurality of panel brackets for engaging panels to be mounted on the building by engaging the mounting rail slot at one end and the anchor portion at the other end. A method for mounting panels on a building by the use of the system is disclosed.

FIG. 2 andFIG. 3 provide some detail of apanel 14 with avertical panel bracket 22 secured thereto. Thevertical panel bracket 22 is secured to thepanel 14 by an undercut anchor 28 (FIG. 4 ). One end of thepanel bracket 22 extends upward beyond thetop edge 14 a to provide thebracket head 22 a. At the other end thepanel bracket 22 has abracket tail 22 b. In the illustrated embodiment, the panel bracket comprises a bracket base 24 (FIG. 3 ) and a mounting insert 26 thereon, and themounting insert 26 extends upward past the end of the bracket base to provide thebracket head 22 a and extends downward past the bracket base to provide the bracket tail, but the invention is not limited in this regard and in other embodiments, thepanel bracket 22 might be formed as a single integral piece, or thebracket base 24 might extend beyond thetop edge 14 a with or without themounting insert 26 to provide thebracket head 22 a.

Thereceiving slot 36 has anopening width 36 a and aslot depth 36 b as measured orthogonally from themounting base 30 and which is the difference between thegripping surface height 34 b and thefulcrum distance 32 a. In one embodiment, theslot depth 36 b is slightly less than thetail thickness 22 d even when theopening width 36 a is greater than the tail thickness. Thegripping surface 34 a is at a position between thebottom edge 30 d and thepivot point structure 32, and is closer to thebottom edge 30 than is thepivot point structure 32. Theslot 36 therefore has aslot height dimension 36 c. Themounting rails 16 also has ananchor portion 38 between thebottom edge 30 d and thegripping surface 34 a. - For purposes of this description, when the
vertical spacing 16 a is measured from the top of theanchor portion 38 on onemounting rail 16 to the top of the anchor portion on the next mounting rail, the vertical length of a panel bracket 22 (from the bottom of the mounting insert 26 to the top of the head is slightly less than thevertical spacing 16 a so that thepanel bracket 22 can engage a mounting rail at each end of the panel bracket as follows. - A first step for mounting a panel according to one embodiment is depicted in
FIG. 7 , where is it seen that panel is angled so that the grippingflange 34 is received in thetail clearance space 22 c and thebracket tail 22 b is received in the receivingslot 36. Next, as indicated inFIG. 8 , the top of the panel will be moved closer to the mounting rails 16. As evident fromFIG. 8 , thevertical spacing 16 a between the mountingrails 16 is coordinated with the length ofvertical bracket 22 so thatbracket head 22 a can engageanchor portion 38 of a mountingrail 16 near the top ofpanel 14 while thebracket tail 22 b is received in the receivingslot 36 of the mountingrails 16 nearer the bottom of the panel. As thebracket head 22 a comes to rest against theanchor portion 38, thebracket tail 22 b becomes cinched between thegripping surface 34 a and thepivot point structure 32. Flexure of the grippingflange 34 or thepivot point structure 32, or both, allows the receivingslot 36 to open slightly so that theslot depth 36 b will accommodate thetail thickness 22 d, with the grippingflange 34 bearing against thebracket tail 22 b. The mounting rails 16 thus holds the bottom of the panel in a manner that will permit thebracket tail 22 b to move (subject to overcoming friction from the grippingsurface 34 a and the pivot point structure 32). The bracket head on thepanel 14 is secured to theanchor portion 38 of the mountingrails 16 as shown inFIG. 9 , e.g., by a screw or bolt. This provides a fixed connection between the upper portion ofpanel 14 and the building which the lower portion is held in a moveable manner as just described. As indicated inFIG. 9 , thebracket tail 22 b of anotherpanel 14′ situated abovepanel 14 is received in the receivingslot 36 of the mounting rails 16. - The bracket head of the uppermost panel, which will not have another panel mounted above it, can be mounted to a mounting rail which has only an anchor portion; there would be no need for a gripping flange or pivot point structure. Accordingly, the uppermost mounting rail in the
bracket system 10 can have a different configuration from other mounting rails, as seen, in one embodiment, in uppermost mountingrail 40 shown inFIG. 11 , which provides amount base 30′ for engaging a building vertical 18 and ananchor portion 38′ to which apanel bracket head 22 a can be secured, as shown inFIG. 16 . - To assemble the
bracket system 10 for use, the mountingrails 16 are mounted on the building by securing them to buildingverticals 18. In one embodiment, the building verticals have a T-cross section as shown for building vertical 18 a inFIG. 12 . The ‘cross-bar’section 18 b of the T provides a surface against which the mountingbase 26 of a mountingrail 16 can rest and be secured to the building vertical 18 a. The ‘post’portion 18 c of the building vertical 18 a is received into the slot of a clip designed into ananchor bracket 20 a.Anchor bracket 20 a has ananchor base 20 b which is secured to a building, and ananchor flange 20 c which extends away from the building and into which is formed aclip 20 d to define a slot into which thepost portion 18 c is received. When thepost portion 18 c is positioned in theclip 20 d, the two can be secured together, e.g., by a screw or bolt. A screw or bolt through theanchor base 20 b secures theanchor bracket 20 a to the building. A resulting configuration is depicted inFIG. 13 wherein a layer ofinsulation 42, which may comprise PVC foam pads or any other suitable material, is applied to thebuilding 12 between thebuilding verticals 18. - In another embodiment, the building vertical is configured as a rectangular vertical 18 d which is secured to the building by being secured to an
anchor bracket 20 e which has ananchor base 20 f from which a pair ofparallel anchor flanges 20 g extend to define a space between them sufficient to receive the rectangular vertical 18 d between them. By securing the rectangular vertical 18 d to theanchor flanges 20 f, the rectangular vertical 18 d is secured to the building and provides a secure structure on which to mount the mountingrails 16 etc. - An apparatus, system and method for mounting panels on a building as described herein offers several advantageous features. For example, the components are delivered to site and assembled piecemeal. Also, the aluminum framework can be assembled in sections of site and delivered to site in prefabricated panels for erection on site, and thereafter the cladding panels are attached in the normal manner. The system can be used to mount very large ceramic panels, for example, up to about 3.5 meters (m)×1.6 m (about 11.5 feet (ft)×5.25 ft) in size. Prior art systems have the drawback that, if mounting large ceramic panels, the dead-load of the panel is normally carried either on two anchor points at the top of the panel, or via grooves in the horizontal edges of the panel. These methods of panel attachment limit the size of the ceramic in areas with high wind load. Systems as disclosed herein allow the dead-load of the panel to be carried by two or more straps fitted to the back face of panels, the straps evenly distribute the dead-load of the panel by means of multiple undercut anchor fixing points. Some prior art systems rely on the use of interlocking aluminum extrusions as the basis of the support structure upon which the panels are mounted. The tolerances of the manufacturing process for aluminum extrusion are such that, systems that rely on the interlocking of profiles, may be subject to the mounted ceramic panels having the capacity to move under wind-load, which can result in the ceramic panels ‘rattling’ and producing unwanted noise. In contrast, the profile of the mounting rail bracket is such that, as the ceramic façade panel is positioned into its correct alignment upon the horizontal rails, the floating tail of the straps attached to the rear of the ceramic panel become tightly fitting in a cantilever action upon the horizontal rail. The straps are slightly in tension when finally positioned and this tension provides a secure fixing point for the panel, preventing wind rattle under wind-load. Further, the profile of the mounting rail bracket is designed such that, the floating tail of the straps mounted onto the back of ceramic façade panels can accommodate horizontal and vertical movement without inducing stress in the ceramic panel, which is a brittle material and must not be subject to stresses caused by wind-load, thermal movement or seismic movement.
- Still another benefit of the floating tail within mounting rail bracket is the ability for the installed panels to accommodate substantial lateral displacement resulting from seismic activity. Prior art systems, as previously patented, do not have the ability to accommodate horizontal and vertical displacement in seismic activity, without damage to or detachment of the ceramic façade panels. The mounting rail brackets are provided with multiple slotted and circular punched apertures along their top and bottom edges. These fixing points accommodate both thermal movement and provide resistance to damage caused by seismic activity. The system has open horizontal and vertical joints and this is a feature of the system which allows pressure equalisation and ventilation of the cavity behind the façade.
