Cover for a building wall with at least two plate-shaped components

Abstract

A cover ( 1 ), and a building wall ( 2 ) with the cover ( 1 ), has at least two plate-shaped structural components ( 3 a, 3 b ) with top (front) and rear sides ( 4, 5 ) arranged at least largely in parallel to the building wall ( 2 ). The plate-shaped structural components ( 3 a, 3 b ) are fastened at spaced locations to the building wall ( 2 ) by one or more support element ( 8 ). Narrow side (end) surfaces ( 6 ) of the plate-shaped structural components ( 3 a, 3 b ) are arranged obliquely between the front and rear sides ( 4, 5 ) of the plate-shaped structural components ( 3 a, 3 b ). The two plate-shaped structural components ( 3 a, 3 b ) are arranged in relation to one another such that the oblique narrow side surfaces ( 6 ) of the plate-shaped structural components ( 3 a, 3 b ) are arranged plane-parallel and overlap each other in an overlapping area ( 9 ) in at least some sections.

         6 . A building wall and cover combination comprising:
 a building wall;   a support element arrangement comprising at least one support element, the support element arrangement being connected to the building wall; and   a cover fastened to the the support element arrangement, the cover comprising: at least two plate-shaped structural components, each of the structural components comprising:   a front side and a rear side configured parallel to the front side, the front side and the rear side being each configured to be arranged at least largely parallel to the building wall and fastened to the building at a spaced location from the building wall by means of at least one support element;   upper and lower oblique narrow side surfaces arranged obliquely between the front side and the rear side of the plate-shaped structural components, wherein the two plate-shaped structural components are arranged in relation to one another such that the oblique narrow side surfaces of the plate-shaped structural components are arranged plane-parallel in relation to one another and overlap each other at least in some areas in an overlapping area, wherein: at least one of the plate-shaped structural components has comprises natural stone, the arrangement in relation to one another the two plate-shaped structural components defines a joint or an abutting edge between the two plate-shaped structural components, with the oblique narrow side surfaces overlaying each other, and the joint extends at least approximately in a horizontal direction, and one of the at least two plate-shaped structural components is in a higher position than the another one of the at least two plate-shaped structural components to provide a higher panel and a panel arranged under the higher panel at the building wall in the overlapping area, the front side of the higher panel forms a visible surface in the overlapping area.   
     
     
         7 . A building wall and cover combination in accordance with  claim 6 , wherein the building wall is configured as a building outer wall. 
     
     
         8 . A building wall and cover combination in accordance with  claim 6 , wherein the joint, arranged between the two beveled narrow side surfaces of the plate-shaped structural components at least approximately horizontally. 
     
     
         9 . A building wall and cover combination in accordance with  claim 6 , wherein air is arranged in at least some sections between the building wall and at least one of the plate-shaped elements. 
     
     
         10 . A building wall and cover combination in accordance with  claim 1 , further comprising an insulating material, which contains Styropor, cellulose, polyurethane and/or rock wool, is arranged at least in some sections between the building wall and at least one of the plate-shaped elements.
