PIECE WITH ASSEMBLY SYSTEM AND FIXATION ON THE EDGE OF THE SLIDING WINDOW TOP RAIL, FOR DIRECTION OF GLASS PLATES [001] The present specification refers to a patent application for a piece with channels on its surface bottom, through which the pins of the upper beds of the sliding window glass plates will be guided. Through the channels, each glass plate has its own guide, corresponding to each pin.

[002] When going through the channel of the piece in question, the pin gently directs the glass plate, simultaneously to the direction of the guide pulley for overtaking by cutting the upper rail, avoiding falls after the articulation of the said glass plates.

STATE OF THE TECHNIQUE [003] As you know, sliding windows are generally composed of rails, upper and lower, through which the glass plates or panels slide and articulate. The document PI 7700026-8 of 12.29.1998, called “DEVICE FOR ADJUSTABLE OPENING FOR WINDOW GLASS, BALCONIES, BALCONIES, TERRACES AND SIMILARS” describes, for example, a device designed to allow lateral sliding and rotational movement of the glasses to opening and closing of the windows through a pair of rotating rails with an internal axis and wheels arranged transversely in relation to the window, fixed by supports where the glass rests, which can be positioned at any opening angle.

[004] As an example of improvement for the sliding of the windows along the rails, the document US 0306251, of 25, .05.2009, named “SISTEMA DE QUEBRA VENTO”, composed of independent glass panels moved manually and supporting

2/7 all of its weight on two strips of self-lubricating polymer inserted in the grooves of the lower guide rail.

[005] An observed problem occurs in the opening of the windows, where the rails have one end called parking, that is, where these glass plates are aligned in parallel when the window is open. For closing, each glass plate is articulated and, through upper and lower pulleys, go beyond corresponding cutouts of the rails, being then slid and thus sealing the masonry gap with glass. The pulleys must be installed at a proportional distance on each plate along their upper and lower beds so that they maintain the necessary distance to overtake through the cutouts of the rails, respectively upper and lower, when opening and closing.

[006] In any case, a constant problem is these “falls” when opening the window, that is, a jolt that occurred when the glass plates were overtaken by the cutouts of the tracks.

[007] In the sense of forming guides to improve the moment of opening these windows, document MU 0406076, dated 11.04.2006, called “ARTICULATED STRUCTURE FOR GLASS PANELS FOR CLOSING AND PROTECTION OF BALCONIES IN BUILDINGS OR CONSTRUCTIONS IN GENERAL ”where a guide piece directs glass panels to close or protect openings, window balconies and gates. This part is a guide delimiting the channel at its base, at the bottom edge of the upper sliding window rail, and several units can be coupled together by corresponding male and female lugs.

[008] The inventor of the order in question (to be described later),

Petition 870170089073, of 11/17/2017, p. 10/20

3 / Ί is also the depositor of a protocol request BR 10 2013 019127-2 dated 07.27.2013, called SLIDE WINDOW RAIL SET AND TOP BED, WITH ARRANGEMENT FOR THE GLASS PLATE DIRECTION SYSTEM which, through the installation of a guide prior to the cutout of the upper rail, comes to direct a pin installed on the top bed of each plate, to assist in overcoming the pulley through the cutout. This arrangement, from the aforementioned order BR 10 2013 019127-2, also resolved the unwanted falls from the glass plate immediately after its articulation to open the window. Such an arrangement is shown in figure 1 of this new patent application.

[009] Despite the smooth operation of the BR 10 2013 019127-2 order system, the inventor realized that the glass plates closest to the rail parking end, have their pin closest to the articulation axis. This approximation of the articulation axis consequently tends to move the pin away from the top rail slightly (the said guide is unique for all plates, as shown in figure 1). Therefore, those glass plates closer to the parking end of the rail may not have their pin perfectly facing the guide and, as a result, there may be slight jolts or falls when the sliding window glass plate is closed.

PATENT OBJECTIVE [010] To solve such problems, the inventor of the order in question replaces the single guide (shown in figure 1 of the patent application for protocol BR 10 2013 019127-2), with a plastic part that can be assembled using its quick coupling fittings, in several units, also being provided with channels on the lower surface of its flat base. These pieces, after assembled together, are introduced in a single block, sliding along the lower edge of the upper rail of the

Petition 870170089073, of 11/17/2017, p. 11/20

4/7 sliding window and then screwed.

[011] As a novelty, the curved channels of these pieces, exposed from the lower edge of the upper rail, form individual guides to maintain the total facing of the corresponding pin of the upper bed of each sliding window glass plate. Through the channels (which are now individual), there will be no leaks in the facing, even for the glass plates with the pins closest to their articulation axis on the upper rail, thus avoiding undesirable falls or jolts at the time of closing. and opening the sliding window.

[012] Explained superficially, the plastic part becomes more detailed, as well as the assembly system between its units and its fixation on the upper rail for the guide system for the upper bed pin of the glass plate.

[013] Figure 1 shows the state of the art through a drawing extracted from the protocol request BR 10 2013 019127-2, mentioned above, in which the single guide for the corresponding pins of each glass plate is requested.

6/7 [028] In accordance with the attached drawings, the PIECE WITH ASSEMBLY AND FIXATION SYSTEM AT THE EDGE OF THE SLIDING WINDOW TOP RAIL, FOR THE DIRECTION OF GLASS PLATES, object of this invention patent application, constitutes of a part (1) manufactured from a specific mold design, made of rigid plastic, forming a back wall (2) hollowed out by holes (3) and delimiting a channel (4) along the upper longitudinal direction of its base (5 ), flat, as shown in the views in figure 2. The base (5) has, on one of the edges, a male coupling shoulder (6) and on the opposite edge a female recess (7) still receiving, on its lower surface, preferably a pair of channels (8) in predefined curvature, parallel, according to the proposed project, as shown in figure 3.

[029] Thus composed, the part (1) will be used in the upper rail (T) of sliding windows for the direction of glass plates (V). [030] For use the part (5) can be assembled with one, two or more units, locked together by their opposite edges through the coupling between their couplings (6) and (7) as shown in figures 4 and 5.

[031] As shown in figures 6 and 7, through its channel (4) the part (1) is aligned with the lower edge of the upper rail (T) and is slid by it until it reaches the pre-established point, next to the parking end, as shows figure 8. At this parking point, through the holes in its back wall (2) it receives screws, thus the part (1) in the desired extension (according to the number of units attached), fixed on the lower edge of the upper rail ( T) with the curved channels (8) of its base (5), exposed, as shown in figure 9.

[032] The glass plates (V) already equipped, in the upper bed (S), with their guide pulleys (R), also receive the pins (P) of

Petition 870170089073, of 11/17/2017, p. 14/20

7/7 targeting.

[033] Both the pins (P) and the guide pulleys (R) are positioned on the upper bed of the glass plates (V) at properly spaced points, compatible with the radius of articulation by their axes (E) so that the said pins (P) and guide pulleys (R) remain perfectly aligned, respectively, to their curved channels (8) and to the cutout (RE) of the upper rail (T), as shown in figure 10.

[034] As shown in figures 11 and 12, the pins (P) will perfectly face the corresponding curved channels (8) of the base (5) of the part (1), which become individual for each glass plate (V). Since the curved channels (8) are individual, they allow the pin (P) to face without leaking even if it is closer to the articulation axis (E) of the glass plate (V), thus perfectly guiding the guide pulley (R ) for overtaking by the cutout (RE), keeping the glass plates (V) always stabilized for opening and closing the sliding window as shown in figures 13, 14 and 15.
