Description

AUSTRALIA Patents Act 1990 COMPLETE SPECIFICATION Standard Patent Applicant (s) PLASTOFORM BLANCA II d.o.o. Invention Title: Module frame The following statement is a full description of this invention, including the best method for performing it known to me/us: -2 MODULE FRAME The subject of the invention is module frame of the windows or doors. Priority usage is for windows or door wings (also service doors) of motorhomes and caravans. 5 Module frame after the invention is made from individually shaped frame trims in specified lengths, which with appropriately shaped edges of the frame compose module frame in desired dimension. The invention is classified in the class E06B 1/04 of international patent 10 classification. The construction of module frame for window efficiently solves the technical problem of guaranteeing a simple and rational manufacturing of window and door frames in different dimensions with appropriately made 15 sealing. The problem which accurse by manufacturing and installation of different sizes of windows and doors with frames, mostly by motorhomes and caravans is in the necessity of each window dimension having an adequate 20 frame, through which the window is installed on the wall of the motorhome or caravan. The frame has to be made in a way that it guarantees an appropriate sealing, that is why the sides of the frame have individual profile fields made or the sides are made 25 from multiple profile (aluminium or similar material), which is very hard to shape, especially in the edges of the frame. The manufacturing of the frame for each dimension of the window individually does not enable a rational use of material. Beside that for every dimension 30 of the window, there has to be an adequate frame on stock or adequate tool for manufacturing the frame. Module frame of the window according to the invention, in priority for the window and doors (also service doors) of motorhomes and/or caravans, allows 24299261 (GHMatters) 6/10/10 - 3 solving this technical problem in a way that the frame is made from individual frame trims, which with the help of adequately shaped corners make a module frame in any wanted dimension. These dimensions of the frame can be 5 set with dimension of individual trims and therefore the size of the frame can be adjusted to the size of the window or doors. The invention will be explained in detail on the basis of implementing example and related pictures, which 10 show: Fig. 1 corner part of the module frame according to the invention in the set apart position; Fig. 2 corner part of the module frame according to the invention in the set apart position and the view 15 from below; Fig. 3 corner part of the module frame according to the invention in the set apart position and the view from the back. Module frame according to the invention is composed 20 from sides, which are presented as trims 1. in selected length and corners 2. Each trim 1 is made as multi-profile trim, and its profiles insure adequate sealing, insertion of the sealing rubber etc. and setting of the frame on the edge of the wall or ceiling opening. Trims 1 are in their 25 lengths adjusted according to the dimension of the window or doors, where as with corners 2 are made into the module frame. Because of the usage of the corner 2 the profile trim 1 isn't curved, and therefore its profiles can be adapted to installation into the wall of the motorhome 30 and/or caravan fulfilling all sealing and firmness demands. Corner 2 on both its ends summarizes a multi-profile shape of profiled trim 1 and it is made in a way that it can be easily connected to the profile trims 1 with the 2429926_1 (GHMatters) 6/10/10 -4 help of adequate link elements 3. Corner 2 is fixed at the end of the profile trim 1 through intermediate element 4, which is shaped in a way that it closes the profile trim 1 and prevents the infiltration of moist, dust or other 5 impurities into the profile trim 1. After the firming of the corner 2 with profiled trims 1, is from the inner side installed on the corner 2 also the cover 5 of the corner 2, which is fixed on the corner 2 with the help of hasp elements 5a. This prevents the 10 infiltration of moister, dust and other impurities into the corner 2. Besides that cover 5 appropriately ends the inner area of the frame. In the claims which follow and in the preceding description of the invention, except where the context 15 requires otherwise due to express language or necessary implication, the word "comprise" or variations such as "comprises" or "comprising" is used in an inclusive sense, i.e. to specify the presence of the stated features but not to preclude the presence or addition of further 20 features in various embodiments of the invention. It is to be understood that, if any prior art publication is referred to herein, such reference does not constitute an admission that the publication forms a part of the common general knowledge in the art, in Australia 25 or any other country. 2429926_1 (GHMattere) 6/10/10
