System for mounting to a facade wall of a building

Abstract

The invention relates to a system for mounting panels to a facade wall of a building, said system comprising panels, and mounting means for mounting said panels to the facade wall, spaced at some distance therefrom, said mounting means comprising: elongated suspension members extending in horizontal direction and spaced apart from each other along the facade wall, and hook members attached to the side of the panels facing towards the facade wall, said hook members being arranged for suspending engagement with the elongated suspension elements.

What is claimed is: 
     
         1 . A system for mounting panels to a facade wall of a building, said system comprising:
 panels, and   mounting means for mounting said panels to the facade wall, spaced at some distance therefrom, said mounting means comprising:   elongated suspension members extending in horizontal direction and spaced apart from each other along the facade wall, and   hook members attached to the side of the panels facing towards the facade wall, said hook members being arranged for suspending engagement with the elongated suspension members, and   
       wherein said mounting means are provided with means for promoting the drainage of water and/or air away from said facade wall. 
     
     
         2 . The system according to  claim 1 , wherein said drainage means comprise a lower flange part of said elongated suspension member, said lower flange part extending parallel and at some distance away from said facade wall. 
     
     
         3 . The system according to  claim 1 , wherein said drainage means comprise a deflecting plate element for engagement with said lower flange part and a next lower hook member. 
     
     
         4 . The system according to  claim 3 , wherein said hook member is provided with a groove at their upper side thereof for accommodating the lower edge of said deflecting plate element. 
     
     
         5 . The system according to  claim 4 , wherein said hook member is provided with an upright ridge adjacent to said groove. 
     
     
         6 . The system according to  claim 1 , wherein said elongated suspension members are provided with drainage openings at their upper side thereof. 
     
     
         7 . The system according to  claim 1 , wherein adjusting means are present for adjusting the hook member relative to the elongated suspension members. 
     
     
         8 . The system according to  claim 7 , wherein said adjusting means comprises a setting bolt accommodated in a treaded opening at the upper side of a hook member and engaging said upper side of said elongated suspension member.
