ABSTRACT:
A method and apparatus for installing the outer members of a curtain wall comprising a plurality of spring-loaded tab members connected to curtain wall panel members and swingable into or out of supporting connection with corresponding stop members, said stop members being fixedly connected at predetermined positions to the vertical side rails of the curtain wall frame members. The tab members transmit the gravity load and wind load of the panel members to the curtain wall frame members through said support members.
The individual curtain wall sections are positioned in the vertical guide members of the curtain wall frame at any convenient location (e.g.: ground level) and raised therein to a mounting position. The respective tab members rotate around the stop members as the curtain wall section is raised but are biased outwardly to prevent said curtain wall sections from being lowered, as by the force of gravity. The invention allows a safe and simplified means of lifting, positioning and mounting curtain wall outer members.
