A connector device (30) is provided for a curtain wall system (20) of the type having structural members (M) secured to the building framing to define frames to support glazing panels (21). The glazing panels (21) each have a sash (22,23) by which they are secured to the frames of structural members (M) to form an outer wall portion of a building. The curtain wall system (20) has connector devices (30) securing one of the glazing panels (21) to the frames of structural members (M). The connector device (30) comprises a keeper (32) secured to a frame, and a latch mechanism (31) secured opposite the keeper (32) on the sash (22,23). The latch mechanism (31) has a latch bolt (33) automatically displaceable to a locking position upon contact with the keeper (32). The keeper (32) and the latch mechanism (31)cooperate in the locking position to lock the glazing panel (21) to the frame in a secured position. A method for installing the connector device (30) is also provided.

La présente invention décrit un dispositif de connecteur (20) destiné à un système de mur rideau (20) disposant d'éléments structurels (M) fixés sur l'encadrement de construction afin de définir les cadres qui soutiennent les vitrages (21). Les vitrages (21) ont chacun un châssis (22, 23), par lequel ils sont fixés aux cadres des éléments structurels (M) pour former une partie de mur extérieur d'un bâtiment. Le système de mur rideau (20) possède des dispositifs de connecteur (30) fixant l'un des vitrages (21) aux cadres des éléments structurels (M). Le dispositif de connecteur (30) comprend un cliquet de sûreté (32) fixé sur un cadre et un mécanisme de verrou (31) fixé face au cliquet (32) sur le châssis (22, 23). Le mécanisme de verrou (31) possède un boulon de verrou (33) qui se place automatiquement en position de verrouillage dès qu~il entre en contact avec le cliquet (32). Le cliquet (32) et le mécanisme de verrou (31) coopèrent en position de verrouillage pour verrouiller le vitrage (21) sur le cadre en position sécurisée.
