Patent ID: 8833016

Claim:
Facade system with less visible supports, comprising: at least one substantially horizontal or substantially vertical structure element ( 1 ) having a height h 1 ; an inner sealing element ( 3 ) mounted on the at least one substantially horizontal or substantially vertical structure element ( 1 ); an insulating transparent pane unit ( 4 ) comprising at least one glass pane; pressure structure element ( 7 ) for pressing the glass panes in the general direction of the at least one substantially horizontal or substantially vertical structure element ( 1 ), wherein the pressure structure element ( 7 ) has a height h 2 ; a groove ( 6 ) in the pressure element ( 7 ) through which the pressure element ( 7 ) is screwlessly mounted to the at least one substantially horizontal or substantially vertical structure element ( 1 ) via a flat bearing structure ( 11 ); and an outer sealing element ( 9 ) mounted on the pressure structure element ( 7 ), wherein the height h 2 of the pressure structure element ( 7 ) has maximum that is equal to or less than the height hi of the at least one substantially horizontal or substantially vertical structure element ( 1 ), respectively, and wherein the flat bearing structure ( 11 ) is mounted in the at least one substantially horizontal or substantially vertical structure element ( 1 ) and the pressure structure element ( 7 ) is structured and adapted to bear the weight of the transparent isolating pane unit ( 4 ) by pressing the glass panes in the general direction of the at least one substantially horizontal or substantially vertical structure element.
