Description

Frame structure for doors or windows, for furniture or lighting, which have a surface in the same plane of a wall.

Field of the Invention

The present invention relates to the field of doors or windows, furniture and lighting that have a surface in the same plane of a wall. In particular, the present invention relates to a combination of a frame, a panel and a wall according to the preamble of claim 1.

Description of the technical problem

Among the frame structures for doors or windows that have a surface in the same plane of a wall, racks are known that define an opening for a door in a wall, in which the frame is embedded within the same wall. Normally, such racks have vertical pieces and crossbars assembled separately before mounting on the wall, obtaining high quality and geometric accuracy when they correspond to the sheet panels. The installation of the frames described above provides the step of arranging the previously assembled frame inside the wall in the opening, fixing the frame on the wall and then stuccoing and finishing the side slits between the frame and the wall.

In particular, an Italian utility model, application No. VI2001U000007, describes a frame for doors or windows with a hidden hinge having a surface in the same plane of a wall with one or two shot blades, which has vertical pieces and crossbars formed with the same profiled element. This profiled element has a substantially rectangular box-shaped cross section having a substantially triangular projection consisting of a first edge perpendicular to one side of the sheet, and a second oblique edge with respect to said first edge, said second oblique edge embedded. on the wall.

Such a profiled element has the disadvantage that said oblique edge obstructs the layout of a board wall, for example of a drywall, thereby requiring more work to cut the end of the board at an angle to correspond to the oblique edge of the element. profiling, in such a way that a significant additional installation and work time results in higher subsequent costs for manual labor.

In addition, an Italian utility model, application no. BO97U000098, describes a frame structure for doors or windows with hidden hinges and a frame having a surface in the same plane of a wall with one or two shot blades, in the that this frame is obtained with a first extruded profile with flanges for a second complementary profile suitable to complete the coverage of the remaining part of the wall thickness, in the opening of the wall. Even in this case the profile that forms the frame structure described above is formed with hidden edges with an oblique face adapted to overlap by the plaster near the opening.

Therefore, also in this case, the known frame structure has the disadvantage that the hidden edge having oblique faces blocks the layout of a board wall, causing the technical problem of cutting the boards in the opening of the wall.

Similarly, Italian utility model No. BO97U000097 describes a combination of a frame structure, a closure panel and a wall according to the preamble of claim 1, which comprises a frame structure for doors or windows with concealed hinges and a frame having a surface in the same plane of a wall with one or two pushing blades, comprising a first extruded profile with a flange associated with a second complementary profile suitable for completing the coverage of the remaining part of the wall thickness , in the opening of the wall. Even in this case the first and second profile described above have an edge with an oblique face, which has the same drawbacks as already described.
