Insulation And Facade Mounting System

Abstract

A complete insulation and panel mounting system utilizing a means to quickly install and hold insulation In place against a substrate with minimal materials and costs which includes an adjustable sub-girt mounting system. A panel system that quickly mounts to the sub-girts of the insulation mounting system to minimize labor at installation and degree of precision and skill required, and which allows for non-progressive (non-sequential) installation while allowing any panel to be removed and replaced without disturbing adjacent panels.

1 . A device for attaching a panel to a façade, comprising an extrusion having:
 an arm, said arm terminating in an end, said end constructed to contact the panel and permit bending of the panel thereover; 
 a platform, said platform being contiguous with said arm and extending from said arm, said platform further being spaced from said arm for forming a ledge, said ledge being configured to capture a portion of the panel; 
 
     
     
         2 . The device of  claim 1  in which said end portion of said arm further comprises a prong for contacting said panel and permitting bending of the panel about said prong. 
     
     
         3 . The device of  claim 1  which further comprises a shelf, said shelf positioned outwardly from said slot and lying closer to said base then said slot. 
     
     
         4 . The device of  claim 3  which further comprises a reveal strip mounted on said shelf. 
     
     
         5 . The device of  claim 3  which further comprises a flange connected to and extending from said leg in opposition to said shelf. 
     
     
         6 . The device of  claim 1  in which said end portion of said arm comprises an enlargement. 
     
     
         7 . A device for forming a covering on a façade, comprising:
 a panel, said panel comprising a surface possessing a removed portion; 
 an arm, said arm terminating in an end, said end constructed to contact said panel surface at said removed portion and to permit bending of said panel thereover, 
 a platform, said platform being contiguous with said arm and extending from said arm, said platform further being spaced from said arm for forming a ledge, said ledge being configured to capture a portion of said panel; 
 a leg, said leg being contiguous with said platform and extending outwardly therefrom; 
 a base; 
 a first fastener for holding said leg to the façade; and 
 a second fastener for holding said leg to said base. 
 
     
     
         8 . The device of  claim 7  in which said end portion of said arm further comprises a prong for contacting said panel and permitting bending of said panel about said prong. 
     
     
         9 . The device of  claim 7  which further comprises a shelf, said shelf positioned outwardly from said slot and tying closer to said base than said slot. 
     
     
         10 . The device of  claim 9  which further comprises a reveal strip mounted on said shelf. 
     
     
         11 . The device of  claim 13  in which said slot is formed by a wall, said wall extending into said slot. 
     
     
         12 . The device of  claim 7  which further comprises a flange connected to and extending from said leg in opposition to said shelf. 
     
     
         13 . The device of  claim 7  in which said end portion of said arm comprises an enlargement.  14 . The device of  claim 1  in which said end portion of said arm is configured as a bending tool. 
     
     
         15 . A method of forming a covering on a facade utilizing the steps of:
 providing a panel, said panel having a surface possessing a removed portion;   providing an arm supported by said façade, said arm terminating in an end constructed to contact said panel removed portion;   bending said panel over said arm end; and holding said panel adjacent said arm.   
     
     
         16 . The method of  claim 15  which additionally comprises the step of again bending said panel over said second arm following said step of bending said panel over said first arm.
