EP0834638A2 - Fixing of closing and/or abutting profiles in doors, windows or the like - Google Patents

Abstract

The window or door comprises a fixed frame and two opening leaves which close a common opening. The two leaves are formed by a frame (5,6) one of which is provided with a closing or end section (7). The fixing has an adjusting point (9) which enables adapting the position of the closing end section relative to the leaf frame to which it is fixed. The adjusting point allows lateral and vertical adjustment. The adjusting point is constituted by two adjustable elements (10) mounted at a distance from each other. These act as retractors mounted between the closing section and the corresponding frame. Each corresponding adjustable element has a coupling (17) with which it is housed by sliding in a notch (18) having inward folded edges (19,20).

Description

The present invention relates to a fixing of a profile closing and / or stop in a window, a door or the like, more specifically in a window or a door of the type which is constituted by a fixed frame and by two opening leaves, among others leaves rotating, tilting leaves and leaves which close a single common opening, the two leaves being formed by a frame and only one of these frames being fitted with a closing profile and / or stop fixed to it latest.

First, the invention is intended for windows and the like, which are produced using aluminum; however, in general, it may also apply to windows that are made in other materials.

Known windows and doors of the aforementioned type have a permanent fixing of the profile closing and / or stop. The downside is the fact that it is very sensitive to deviations from tolerances, giving rise to the fact that the leaves are touch each other during opening, for example by the fact that elements of the fitting of closing of a leaf come into contact with the edge of the other leaf or by the fact that the center seal touches the leaf when opening or closing, either provide, when of the closure, insufficient sealing.

The appearance of these deviations is due to inaccuracies when sawing and / or placing hinges, as well as design errors and following manufacturing and mounting tolerances on profiles, gaskets and fittings, and again to differences in the thickness of the coating, for example in the case of aluminum profiles which are covered with a layer of lacquer or varnish powdery, as well as the sagging of the through over time.

In the case where the leaves touch one each other during opening or closing it is known to remedy this by dismantling the profile of closing and / or stop by removing material from the frame or this profile and then reassembling the closure and / or stop profile.

In the case where the leaves do not close well in the closed state, by the fact that they are too far away each other, it is known to remedy this by dismantling the closing and / or stop profile, applying shims between the frame and this profile and up thereafter this profile.

It is clear that the adaptation of the position of the profile closing and / or stopping in this way is a time-consuming activity during which often causes damage to the leaves, and can ultimately ensure that correct overlaps over the entire height of the window and avoid contact between the profiles, middle elements and seals during opening and / or closing.

The object of the invention is to provide a solution to this problem.

To this end, the invention provides a fixation of a closing and / or stop profile in a window, a door or the like, of the type mentioned above, having the characteristic that the aforementioned fixing is provided with adjustable focusing means which allow the position of the closing profile to be adjusted and / or stop relative to the frame to which it is fixed, at least in lateral direction and also vertical in vertical direction, and in doing so, which allow obtain 100 percent correct recovery and, therefore also a perfect seal to water and wind, as well as a movement of the leaves without shackles.

By using adjustable focusing means, can adapt the position of the profile at any time closing and / or stop without having to do this, intervene directly on the material of the leaves, which saves considerable time.

Preferably, the adjustable focusing means are made up of one or more, preferably two, adjustable elements mounted at a distance from each other and acting as spacers, which are mounted between the closure and / or stop profile and frame corresponding.

In Figures 1 and 2, a window 1 of the type which consists of a fixed frame 2 and two 3-4 opening leaves that close a single opening common, each 3-4 leaf being formed by a frame, respectively 5 and 6, only one of these frames, in this in this case the frame 5, being provided with a closure profile and / or stop 7 fixed to the first city.

As shown in Figure 2, this closure profile and / or stopper 7 is connected, in forms of known production, permanently with the profile bordering 8 of frame 5, so that an adaptation of the position is only possible using one of the complicated techniques described in the introduction.

In accordance with the invention, a solution is provided to this problem with window 1, as shown schematically in Figure 3, focusing means adjustable 9 which allow the position of the closure and / or stop profile 7 relative to the frame 5, more specifically with respect to the profile supra 8, in the lateral direction.

Preferably, these focusing means 9 are consisting of adjustable elements 10 in the form spacers which are mounted between profile 8 and the closure and / or stop profile 7. In this case, preferably use two, and if necessary more of two, elements 10 which are applied one of the other on profile 8, so that the profile of closure and stopper 7 is supported in two places or plus, which allows it to be connected in stillness with the profile 8.

The elements 10 can be produced in shapes different.

A first practical embodiment is shown in Figures 4 to 6, Figures 4 and 5 concerning the assembled state, and FIG. 6 representing a perspective view of element 10 used in the occurrence.

In the embodiment of Figures 4 to 6, element 10 mainly consists, on the one hand, by a basic part 11 which is able to cooperate with the aforementioned frame 5 and, on the other hand, by an element 12 suitable for screwing and unscrewing, which can be screwed in the base part 11 and whose free front end 13 forms a support for the closure profile and / or stop 7.

Element 12 consists, for this purpose, of a body cylindrical which is provided with an external screw thread 14 by which this body can be screwed into a tapped hole 15 practiced in the basic room 11. To facilitate the screwing and unscrewing, element 12 is provided with a opening 16 for a socket wrench or the like.

Element 10 includes a coupling element 17 applied on the base part, by which element 10 can be brought into sliding in a notch 18 practiced in profile 8, more specifically in what we calls a fitting notch which, in known manner, has 19-20 edges oriented inward. As shown, this coupling element 17 is consisting mainly of parts 21-22 which are inserted in notch 18 and applied behind the edges 19-20.

In addition, the element 10 is also provided with means for tightening allowing it to be fixed in the notch 18, constituted by one or more, in the example by two, 23-24 bolts through which element 10 plus specifically the base part 11 can be clamped in the notch 18, as shown in Figures 4 and 5, the bolts 23-24 are screwed in this case in bores 25-26 which are provided for this purpose with a internal screw thread 27-28.

The fixing of the closure and / or stop profile 7 a place, as shown in Figures 4 and 5, by means fasteners such as bolts 29 which, from preferably apply in the elements used 10. Each element used 10 is also fitted with a threaded sleeve 30 for a bolt 29 of this type.

As shown in Figure 5, this threaded sleeve 30 is preferably inserted in the base part 11 and, more precisely, in the axial extension of element 12 adapted to be screwed and unscrewed. This last is then provided with an axial opening 31 through which freely the bolt 29. The opening 31 can be formed extending the opening 16 above so that the hexagon extends completely through the element 12.

The operation of the assembly can be released simply Figures 4 to 6.

The fixing of the closure and / or stop profile 7 a place by mounting two 10 or more elements between this profile 7 and profile 8, for example near the upper side and lower side of the leaf 3.

The elements 10 are fixed in this case at the place desired by tightening the bolts 23-24 which rest with their ends on the bottom 32 of the notch 18, causing the coupling element 17 to be pressed against the edges 19-20.

The closure and / or stop profile 7 is held in place in this case by the fact that the bolts 19 are clamped against the front ends 13 of items 12.

By loosening the bolts 29, removing the profile from closing and / or stop 7 and tightening or loosening the elements 12, then going up through the following the closure and / or stop profile 7, it is possible change the position of the latter, as indicated by the arrow A in figure 4.

By modifying the position of the closing profile and / or stop 7, we can prevent the leaves 3-4 from affect each other or the lack of a good tightness between leaf 4 and the closing profile and / or stopper 7.

The solution according to the invention also makes it possible to mount the closing and / or stop profit 7 in the non-position parallel to profile 8, which is important when must make adaptations in the case of leaves who are crooked, for example by the fact that they are collapsed.

Thanks to the sliding ability shown by elements 10 in notch 18, we can also adapt the position of the closing and / or stop profile 7 in vertical direction, which can be useful in the case where only one of the ends of this profile 7, during opening or closing, touch so the fixed frame 2.

In Figures 7 to 9, a variant is represented by which element 10 is constituted, on the one hand, by a deformable base part 33 comprising a first part 34 which is able to cooperate with frame 5 and more specifically with notch 8 and a second deformable or mobile part 35 which supports the closure and / or stop profile 7 and, on the other hand, by an element 36 capable of being screwed and unscrewed, which is active between the aforementioned parts 34 and 35, such so that a rotation of the element 36 gives rise to a displacement of the second part 35 relative to the first part 34.

As shown in Figures 7 to 9, the second part 35 is made up preferably an elastically flexible stirrup, which forms a single element with the first part 34. Element 36 suitable for to be screwed and unscrewed is screwed in this case in a bore 37 in the free end of the stirrup and exerts, with its lower end 38, a thrust on the first underlying part 34.

Furthermore, element 10 of the embodiment of Figures 7 to 9 is analogous to element 10 of the embodiment of Figures 4 to 7, provided with a coupling element 17 and a threaded sleeve 30.

The use of element 10 in FIGS. 7 to 9 is mainly analogous to that of element 10 which has has been described with reference to Figures 4 to 6. The only difference is that the rotation of the element 36 ensures that a greater distance exists between the closing and / or stop profile 7 and the profile 8, while the rotation of element 12 gives place at a smaller distance.

It is clear that still other embodiments can be considered, by which one can adjust the aforementioned distance using an element capable of being screwed and unscrewed or by other means adjustable.

According to a variant not shown, the element 10 will be made so that an adjustment is possible without first having to remove the profile from closure and / or stopper 7. This can be achieved by example by making sure that the bolt 29 of the figure 8 does not fit into the first part 34, but in part two 35 and by providing, at instead of element 36, an opening in the profile closure and / or stopper 7, which makes it possible to reach this element 36 with a socket wrench.

This last variant can also be implemented. work by the embodiment of Figure 6. Essentially, that is to say that, in this case, fixing the closing and / or stop profile 7 against element 10 does not take place by means of a bolt 29 which passes through the element 12-36 suitable for being screwed and unscrewed, but by means of one or more bolts which cooperate with element 10 next to the element capable of be screwed and unscrewed. An example of this case is described referring to Figures 10 to 15.

In the embodiment of Figures 10 to 15, element 10 is composed of a base part 39 and a element 40 able to be screwed and unscrewed, the piece of base 39, unlike basic parts 11-33 of Figures 6 and 9, is not a whole, but is composed of two elements 41-42.

Element 42 can be mounted here independently of element 41 on frame 5, in this case by means of a coupling element 43. This element coupling 43 consists, as shown, of preference of a basic part able to come snap into notch 18. As shown in Figures 13 to 15, this can be inserted freely in the notch 18 and come to be fixed by rotation behind the edges 19-20. The basic piece in this case has a shape as shown in Figures 13 to 15, more specifically a shape rectangular with two rounded corners 44-45 opposite in diagonal direction, whose width B1 is less than or equal to the distance between the edges 19-20, but whose width B2 is greater than the width B3 and preferably coincides with the latter inside the notch 18.

The base part is made in one piece with the rest of item 42.

The element 41 is constituted by a part which is able to slide by means of a coupling element 46 in longitudinal direction freely in the notch 18. This element 41 is, as can be seen in FIG. 12, provided a through opening 47 whose diameter allows free passage to element 42 so that element 42 can be inserted through the opening 47 and can be locked by rotation behind the edges 19-20; in this way element 41 remains also mainly in place.

Element 41 is provided with tapped sockets 48-49 intended for 50-51 bolts, the closing profile and / or stopper 7 which can be fixed by pulling the latter against everything. Profile 7 is provided with openings 52 and 53 for bolts 50-51 and an opening 54 to insert a socket wrench into the element 40.

Preferably, between elements 41 and 42, is present a determined game that allows you to keep moving slightly, upwards and downwards, element 41 to the mounted state of the element 42. Thus, even when element 42 is already fixed, a determined positioning of element 41 and of the closure profile and / or of stop 7 is still possible in height.

The operation and assembly of the assembly can be simply derived from the above description and attached figures. First, we insert by snaps elements 41 and 42 in the desired location in the notch 18. Then, insert the suitable element 40 to be screwed and unscrewed. By placing profile 7 and tightening the bolts 50-51, the assembly is fixed.

It is clear that the three characteristics mentioned above, more specifically in the first place the fact to use a coupling element 43 which can be fixed by rotation in the notch 18, secondly the making sure that bolts 50-51 do not pass through element 40 suitable for being screwed and unscrewed, but cooperate next to the latter with the element 10 and, in third place, the fact that we use an element 10 which comprises at least two elements 41, 42 which have a determined play between them, can be produced in accordance with other different variants. It is also clear that these characteristics can whether or not they are present in a mutually combined.

In accordance with an embodiment not shown in the figures, we can do without element 41 of figure 10 and we can only use, instead bolts 50-51 and threaded inserts 48-49, one single bolt which then passes freely through the element 40 able to be screwed and unscrewed, and that can be done turn underneath in element 42, in a socket tapped for this purpose.

The invention is especially useful when combined with the use of a safety fitting of the type by which the window and / or door lock has place with locking elements 55-56 which like represented in FIGS. 10 and 11, are made up, on the one hand, by a pin 57 with a thicker head and, on the other hand, by an element serving as a seat with inside edges 59-60, behind which the thicker head 58 can come to apply by sliding. It is clear that, in the case of a security fittings of this type, there are very few game and a very precise positioning between, on the one hand, the corresponding closure and / or stop profile 7 and, on the other hand, the opposite profile is required. Mostly in the case of double-leaf windows which close at middle, good mutual adjustment is a big problem to which the invention is likely to bring a solution.

The invention also relates to windows which are fitted with a safety fitting by which, in windows of this type, a fixing according to the invention.

The invention can be applied to windows as well than at doors. In the case of doors, the fixed frame 2 can be made up of a closed frame as well as by a frame 2 which extends only along the sides left, right and top of the door opening.

The present invention is in no way limited to the embodiments described by way of example and shown in the drawing; a binding of this type a closing and / or stop profile, as well as the aforementioned element 10 can be implemented in different shapes and in different dimensions without depart from the scope of the invention.
