Description
. --76~;
The present invention relates to window or door frames or jambs. Windows or doors usually always exhibit two frame portions, a first frame portion which is embedded in the wall r and usually referred to as a door or window jamb, and a second which forms the window or door frame. ~hen two frames are referred to in the subject application, either a jamb and a frame is involved, or two frames of a door or a window, secured to each other, particularly in pivotal fashion. In the known doors and windows, it is desirable to provide a high strength and tightness by as simple a construction and as low material expense as possible. In the known windows and doors, the above object is only met by a complex structure and particularly complicated cross-sectional shapes. The assembling is often too complicated and aan only be carried out by experts.
With double glazing, expensive compound glass sheets are normally used, and when exchanging panes, a high work expenditure results. The individual frame parts must be glued or welded to one another, and the doors and windows seldom maintain the desired measurements over a longer period of time, so that jamming often occurs. A subsequent alteration of the window structure, particularly an additional attachment of further panes and window jambs parallel to the first or second, in order to attain a higher noise or heat insulation, is only possible at great expense. A fre~uent changing o~ the num~er of panes from season to season is practically impossible.
It is an object of the invention to alleviate these disadvantages and, particularly with a door or a window of the type noted at the outset, to detachably fasten the frames in such a manner to one another that a high strength and tightness is attained and a modification of the struature can be carried out ~uickly and easily.
In general terms, the present invention provides frame means for use in a window or door, of the type including a first frame and a second frame normally disposed adjacent and generally parallel to one another, of which frames at least one encloses a pane, a screen or the like inner board section of a door or of a window, wherein socket means of a generally trapezoidal cross sectlon is provided on one face of said first frame and tongue means of a complementary cross section is provided on one face of the second frame to enable a detachable securement of the frames to each other by engagement of said tongue means in said socket means, said tongue means including two tongues parallel with and spaced from each other to define a longitudinal recess therebetween, said socket means including a bottom section from which protrudes a longitudinal projection of cross-sectional configuration complementary with -that of said recess, said longitudinal projection having a predetermined height which is less than the depth of said longitudinal recess, whereby a free space is provided between the longitudinal projection and a bottom of the longitudinal recess when the two are engaged, a strip of resiliently deformable sealing being provided for a compressed placement within saia free space when said socket means and said tongue means engage one another. Preferably, the socket means extends over generally the entire periphery of the face of the second frame means. The socket means is preferably symmetrical with respect to a plane generally perpendicular to a transverse plane of coincidence with the face of the first frame means.
In such embodiment, the tongue means is also symmetrical with respect to a plane generally perpendicular to a transverse plane of coincidence with the face of the second frame means.
In accordance with another feature of the present invention, each frame is formed by moldings having each a respective face portion of the other frame. The socket means may also be formed by bores and the tongue means by complementary pegs.
The socket means and the tongue means are preferably of the type of a resilient snap-on fastener.
In accordance wi-th a further ~eature of the present invention, the tongue means and the socket means comprise each a side wall, the side wall of one o~ said tongue means and said socket means being provided with a longitudinal rib of a yenerally semi circular cross section, the other one of said tongue means and said socket means being provided with a longitudinal depression complementary with and adapted to engage the respective longitudinal rib in a snap-on ashion.
The socket means and/or the tongue means may be of the type detachably secured to the respective face of the respective frame. In such embodiment, the socket and tongue means are preferably of an elongate frustopyramidal shape to facilitate the centeri.ng of the frames when they are being attached to one another.
In accordance with another preferred embodiment, the frame means may be at least partly formed by sectional frame portions detachable from the respective frame to facilitate replacement of a pane or the like inner board section of the respective frame. In such composite embodiment, corner cover means are preferably provided which are secured to both faces of two adjacent frame parts to reinforce the respective corner of the frame.
The invention provides a high strength and tightness, impermeability to gas and water-proofness by simple structure composed of simple sections, so that it can be used in house building but also in other technical areas. An inexpensive manufacture can be attained, and assembly and subsequent modifications can be quickly performed. Not only building carpenters bu-t also laymen can assemble and modify these windows and doors. The interlocking, self-centering sections release pivot or the like mountings during their engagement and jamming in the window jamb or the like is avoided.
Expensive multiple- or compound glasses are not necessary.
Instead, two or more glass panes of a simple type can be placed one after the other depending on the number of frames.
A change in the number of panes or frames can be so quickly and easily accomplished that this can frequently be done according to the particular season.
An especially even dis~ribution of the forces from the flanks of the grooves and springs to the flanks of the adjacent springs and grooves is obtained due to a generally trapezoidal cross-section of same. This type of cross-sectional configuration is also advantageous when manual atta¢~lent of one frame to another and mutual alignment is to be carried out, and is especially advantageous with frames pivotally secured to one another, since the sections readily interlock and a great strength is attained. The shortened form of the tongue prevents the damaging of seals in the grooves so that they provide a high durability and, after a release, always assume their original shape again.
Exemplary embodiments of the invention are illustrated in the drawings and are more particularly described in the following. In the drawings:
Fig. 1 is a horizontal section of a portion of a window frame with moldiny attached to the inner side of the room with a resilient tongue section, on which a second, separately shown frame with a resilient tongue section can be attached and to the outer side of which a separately shown corner cover can be attached, which forms the lateral face of the first frame in the area of the corner;
6~i Fig. 2 is a top view of the inside of the corner cover shown in a view taken on 2 2 oE Fig. l;
Fig. 3 is a section along the line 3-3 in Fig. l;
Fig. 4 is a horizontal section of an alternatively constructed window frame with attached corner shaped molding in the area of the frame corner;
Fig. 5 is a top view of the corner molding;
Fig. 6 is a top view of the frame according to Fig. 4 with corner molding removed;
Fig. 7 is a perspective view of the corner cover according to FigO 2;
Fig. 8 shows sectional views of a fastener, especially for the fastening of side faces of the frame and of resilient tongue sec-tions shown in an assembled state and in exploded views; and Fig. 9 is a section of a fastener according to Fig. 8 with a longitudinal recess.
A first frame 1 of a window can be formed from a double-T- or H- section. In the example according to Fig. 1 the frame 1 is provided, besides a web 1I with a further parallel web 1", to define an inside channel 2 of rectangular cross-section. The entire first frame 1 is composed of four sections or sectional frame parts beveled at their ends.
The shaped section forms a longitudinal groove 4 facing the room interior and at the opposite side a longitudinal groove 5 facing the exterior. A U-shaped molding, such as the molding 6, can be inserted into the groove 4 or 5. At the interior face, the molding 6 displays a resilient tongue 7 extending away from the molding and having its free end provided with a central slit so that the tongue can be secured in a respective groove 8 formed each by two L-shaped protrusions on the bottom of the longitudinal grooves 4 and 5.

The molding 6 can be made -Elat at its surface facing the room. However, in the embodiment shown in Fig. 1, the surface of the molding 6 is provided with longitudinally extending protrusions of trapezoidal cross section of the type of parallel tongues 9 extending along the molding 6. The two tongues 9 are arranged symmetrically to a plane 10, which is at right angles -to the lateral face of the molding 6 and is disposed centrally of the respective molding of the frame 1.
In a groove 11 formed by ~he tongues 9, an elastic strip of circular cross-section of foam rubber, is pressed and frictionally held in.
A second frame _ of the same width and height as the first frame 1, can be attached to the first frame 1, so that a compound window or case window is made from a single window.
While the frame 1 is shown with panes 13 and 1~
no panes are shown in the frame 12. Instead of a window pane, the frame 12 can support a fly screen or other inserts. The section forming the second frame 12 sho~s a rectangular longitudinal channel and a generally W-shaped longitudinal recess 15, which is complementary with the tongues 9 of the molding 6 and comprises two grooves, 16, 17 and a tongue 18 therebetween and having its sides eventually contacting _ the sides of the tongues 9 forming the groove 11. The tongue 18 exhibits a lesser height than the depth of the groove 11, so that the elastic band is not too heavily compressed when the tongue 18 is engaged in the groove.
On the sides or flanks of the tongue 9 of the molding 6, toroidal protrusions 9a extend along the molding to eventually engage correspondingly shaped longitudinal grooves 19 of the grooves 16, 17. Thus, the second frame 12 is attached securely to the frame 1. Additionally or alternatively, the second frame 12 can also be attached to the frame 1 by a ~7~
pivot or a tilt mount.
Since all frames can be made in the fashion of a "plug-in" assembly, a corner cover 20 is inserted in the longitudinal grooves 5 of two sectional frame parts, for securing sectional frame parts to one another in a corner area. The adjacent moldings 6 forming the corner area can also be made as an integral unit. The tongues 7 of the corner cover 20 and of molding 6 can be inserted in grooves 8 or in sui-table bores, (not shown), so that a lateral removal of the sectional frame part from these holding parts is not possible. If desired, an inside element 21 can be inserted in the channels 2 of the sectional frame part (Fig. 3), to provide a further reinforcement and to increase rigidity of the joint.
In the embodiments of Figs. 4 to 6, the frame 1 is manufactured from solid sections, for e~ample wood of rectangular cross-section, and on the face of the frame a corner molding 22 is fastened to same by pegs ~ engaged in bores 2~ of the frame. The sectional frame parts, beveled at the ends, have grooves 25 and tongues 26 at the beveled ends, which interlock and are held together by a metal band 27, which is detachably fastened to the outer peripheal side of the frame to a sectional frame part and overlaps a peg 28 at the adjacent part of the frame. The metal band 27 made of flat spring steel material is bent upwards at the detachable end, so that it can be readily engaged and lifted off from the peg 28 to provide detachment of the two frame parts from each other.
Instead of the tongues 7 and pegs 23, two-piece fasteners can also be used, as shown in Fig. 8. These fasteners are constructed according to the resilient tongue-and-groove principle and display a socket part 29, which has a recess of trapezoidal cross section both in longitudinal and transverse section, whereby the inner walls are convergent.
In this receiving part, an inserting part 30 is self-centered on pressing. The part 30 is shaped as a tongue complementary with the recess of the receiving part ~9, to completely fill the recess. At longitudinal sides or flanks of the receiving part 30, toroidal protrusions 31 are formed and extend longitudinally thereof. They engage, on assembling, grooves 32 of the receiving part 29~ Receiving part 29 and insertion part 30 are respectively fastened with their major base at the opening of the socket 29 so that the assembled parts can be detachably fastened to one another.
In the inserting part 30, a longitudinal groove 33 can be provided at right angles to the base and parallel with the elongation of the respective protrusion 31, to increase elasticity of the protrusions or of the sides of the inserti.ng part, as shown in Fig. 9.
By means of this invention tongue-and-groove sections of respective parts can be interengaged to enable a do-it-yourself fashion of a number of frames without the need for a skilled tradesman.
