A curtain wall mounting system adapted for cantilevered support of at least one structure outwardly therefrom. The curtain wall mounting system including an anchor plate having dual plates and adapted for integral mounting with a curtain wall web section. The curtain wall web section includes one of a hollow tongue web extending outwardly of a curtain wall vertical mullion in a first direction and an integrally formed flange region extending outwardly of the curtain wall vertical mullion in the first direction. The curtain wall web section includes a first set of fastening apertures oriented transversely to the first direction and formed. The anchor plate includes at least one generally planer body portion having a first set of mating apertures adapted for alignment in registry with the first set of fastening apertures of the web. The anchor plate further having a second set of apertures adapted for securing structures outwardly therefrom.

Curtain wall external support system

A curtain wall mounting system for cantilevered support of at least one structure. The system includes an anchor plate adapted to integrally mount with a web section of a curtain wall. The curtain wall web section includes either a hollow tongue web extending outwardly of the curtain wall vertical mullion or an integrally formed flange region extending outwardly of the curtain wall vertical mullion. The anchor plate has at least one generally planer body portion with a first set of mating apertures adapted for alignment with the first set of fastening apertures of the web. The first set of apertures are oriented generally perpendicular to the tension forces transmitted by the anchor plate. The anchor plate also includes a second set of apertures adapted for securing of structures outwardly from the curtain wall.

A mullion sealing bridge and method for use in a curtain wall system. In one aspect, the bridge is placed at an intersection horizontal and vertical mullions to divert fluid along the curtain wall system. This Abstract is provided to comply with rules requiring an Abstract that allows a searcher or other reader to quickly ascertain subject matter of the technical disclosure.

Curtain wall mullion sealing bridge

Disclosed is a moisture collection bridge and method for use in a curtain wall system. In one aspect, the moisture collection bridge is placed at an intersection of a vertical mullion and one or more horizontal members. The moisture collection bridge is formed to collect fluid in a recess and divert the fluid out of the curtain wall system through an outlet. This Abstract is provided to comply with rules requiring an Abstract that allows a searcher or other reader to quickly ascertain subject matter of the technical disclosure. This Abstract is submitted with the understanding that it will not be used to interpret or limit the scope or meaning of the claims. 37 CFR 1.72(b).

Method and apparatus for moisture collection and diversion in curtain walls

Disclosed is a bridging member, formed of flexible or non-flexible material, for use with a curtain wall system for building exteriors. The curtain wall system includes a vertical mullion operable to attach to a horizontal member. A sealing member is secured in a void created by the intersection of the vertical mullion and the horizontal member. The sealing member includes a substantially planar top surface and a lip portion extending from a bottom surface of the sealing member.
