Embodiment Construction

[0022] Various embodiments of the present disclosure provide a curtain wall panel installation system. The curtain wall panel installation system of the present disclosure includes a plurality of rails, each rail forming an elongated panel spanning the entire, or substantially the entire, edge of a concrete slab (or other structural element) at a given level of a building. Each elongated panel frame may be mounted to anchors (eg, inserts) cast into the concrete floor of a given floor of the building (and thus anchorable to the building) at discrete locations along the concrete floor. It should be understood that the elongated panel frames of the present disclosure are configured to be leveled prior to installation of the curtain wall panels. As detailed below, the elongated panel racks enable the curtain wall panels to be transported laterally along the building facade to their respective installation locations, which enables workers to use a centralized crane location to lift...

Abstract

Various embodiments of the present disclosure provide a curtain wall panel installation system. The curtain wall panel installation system of the present disclosure includes a plurality of rails each forming an elongated panel bracket spanning an entire edge or substantially the entire edge of a concrete floor slab of a given floor of a building. Each elongated panel bracket is mountable to anchors (such as embedments) cast in the concrete floor slab of a given floor of the building at discrete positions along the concrete floor. The elongated panel brackets enable the curtain wall panels to be laterally transported along the building facade to their respective installation positions, which enables workers to use a centralized crane location to hoist the curtain wall panels in preparation for installation.

Description

[0001] priority statement [0002] This application claims priority and benefit to US Provisional Patent Application Serial No. 61 / 734,735, filed December 7, 2012, which is hereby incorporated by reference in its entirety. Background technique [0003] The envelope of some commercial buildings and mixed-use residential buildings includes curtain walls. A building's curtain wall defines the building's appearance and, more importantly, separates the controlled or regulated space inside from the outside environment. Curtain walls are typically formed from a plurality of curtain wall panels, which typically include glass, metal and / or stone. The curtain wall panels are attached to the structural elements of the building via anchors and curtain wall panel hangers (sometimes called curtain wall panels or panels). The anchors are located at discrete attachment points along the edges of the building's concrete floor. Anchors typically include inserts (sometimes called inserts) that...
