ABSTRACT:
A structure with vertical members and cross members, particularly for facades or light-transparent roofs, in whose frame area glass panes (100) can be inserted, comprises several vertical members (1) between which cross members (2) are fixed. Channels (3, 4) are provided on the outer surface of the vertical members (1), specifically on the edges thereof, and serve to accommodate a seal (5, 6), whereby a drainage channel (7, 8) for diverting liquid is arranged adjacent to the channel (3, 4). In addition, channels (10, 11) are provided on the side of the cross member (2), specifically on the edges thereof, that faces the outer surface of the vertical member (1), and serve to accommodate a seal (12) and a retaining strip (13) located between the channels (10, 11). According to the invention, a connecting part (40) is attached to the cross member (2) at the face thereof and serves to lengthen the channels (10, 11) and the retaining strip (13) of the cross member (2) while at least partially overlapping the channel (3) located on the edge of the vertical member. This configuration enables the cross member to be easily attached to the vertical member, whereby, for providing an overlapping design of the cross member, a connecting part is easily mounted without requiring a complex notching of the cross member (2).
