20170159299 · 2017-06-08 ·

In certain embodiments, a system includes a curtain wall member and a first curtain wall member mounting apparatus coupled to a first end of the curtain wall member. The first curtain wall member mounting apparatus includes a mounting plate and an arm having one or more projections. The first curtain wall member mounting apparatus engages with a first curtain wall member supporting channel having a vertically-disposed member and a horizontally-disposed supporting member having a receiving-and-retaining member extending from an end opposite the vertically-disposed member. The receiving-and-retaining member engages with a channel adjacent to one or more projections of the first curtain wall member mounting apparatus. The first curtain wall member mounting apparatus is adapted to be rotated into position such that a connection mechanism at a second end of the curtain wall member engages with a second curtain wall member supporting channel to retain the curtain wall member in position.

MODULAR WALL STRUCTURE

The modular wall structure comprises multiple primary frames (10) for carrying cladding elements (11) and building service devices (12); a secondary frame (20) for supporting the primary frames (10); and a moving system for moving each primary frame (10) with respect to the secondary frame (20) in six degrees of freedom. The moving system comprises at least three moving units (40) for each primary frame (10). Each moving unit (40) comprises a housing (50) attached to the primary frame (10); a spherical joint bushing (61) inside the housing (50), wherein said joint bushing (61) can be translated parallel to the plane of the primary frame (10); a first drive unit (72) attached to the primary frame (10) for moving the ball joint bushing relative to the housing (50) along a first direction (x) by means of a first shaft (70); a second drive unit (82) attached to the primary frame (10) for moving the ball joint bushing relative to the housing (50) along a second direction (y) perpendicular to the first direction (x) through a second axis (80); and a third drive unit (92) attached to the secondary frame (20) for moving the ball joint bushing relative to the secondary frame (20) in a third direction (z) perpendicular to both the first direction (x) and the second direction (y), through a third shaft. A free end of the first shaft (70) is slidably mounted into a first guide groove of the ball joint bushing, said first guide groove (62) extending in the second direction (y). A free end of the second shaft is slidably mounted in a second guide groove of the ball joint bushing, said second guide groove extending in the first direction (x). A free end of the third shaft is mounted into a ball joint rotatably arranged in said ball joint bushing.
