Description
REMOVABLE WEATHER SHIELD FOR SLIDING WINDOWS
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to the field of sliding doors and windows and is particularly concerned with a weather shield means or improved weather stripping for sliding doors and windows. Sliding doors and windows such as patio doors have become extremely popular for use in residential and commercial buildings.
Sliding doors and windows are manufactured in a wide variety of styles, ranging from a single moving panel to multiple, parallel panels which ride on adjacent rails. Vertical members of the door panels include interlocking parts to reduce air and water infiltration through the door or window. The door or window is conventionally manufactured using aluminum extrusions for framing the glass and mounting the necessary hardware for locking the panels and enabling their lateral movement.
The manufacturers of sliding doors and windows must meet certain structural standards as well as air and water infiltration standards. In order to meet these standards, many manufacturers have resorted to increasing the size and thickness of the framing members of the panels.
Although this solution has proven to be satisfactory in some conditions in certain geographical locations, some inclement weather conditions may present a problem in sealing the marginal edges of sliding door or window structures against the wind, water leakage and heat transfer.
This problem is particularly significant in geographical locations experiencing cold climate combined with high winds and/or snow.
In the past, various storm panel structures or auxiliary panel means have been designed for temporary use in spanning a window or door opening of the building, particularly during inclement weather. However, prior art attempts to provide a snug weather type seal proved to be unsatisfactory because of the resulting undue frictional resistance as the door or window panel is slidably manipulated.
Furthermore, the prior art structures were somewhat awkward and cumbersome to handle and install. Some proposed structures were of intricate design in fabrication and required considerable manual dexterity and skill for layout of the constituent elements and their assembly for installation. As aforementioned, it is particularly desirable to prevent or reduce gas flow in an unwanted direction through an elongated gap such as a gap between a door or a window and its associated frame.
Indeed, windows and doors are notorious sources of heat loss in houses and other buildings. The heat loss occurs by conduction through the structural materials and also through the flow into the building of cold air that passes through any gap between a door or window and its associated frame. Heat loss caused by drafts are almost inevitable since it is very difficult as a practical matter to provide doors and windows which have perfect sealing fit in their frame.
Further, in the case of such windows it is generally necessary to provide a clearance gap between the window sash and the frame in order that the window can be slid open and closed. In order to reduce drafts, it is well known to secure strips of compressible material such as foam to an appropriate surface of the door, window or frame. Such a strip may be applied during construction.
Alternatively, such a strip may be retrofitted to existing windows or doors usually by means of adhesive strips. The use of such strips has various disadvantages.
For example, they hinder the free sliding of such windows. Further, such a strip can only be used in circumstances in which there is a suff=iciently large gap between the door or window and frame to accommodate the strip and sometimes, particularly with casement windows, a sufficiently large gap is not available.
SUN~IARY OF THE INVENTION
Accordingly, it is an object of the present invention to provide an improved weather shield means or weather stripping for sliding doors and windows.
It is another object of the present invention to provide a weather strip assembly that will provide a tight connection with the adjacent window or door so as to prevent or reduce the heat loss through air infiltration.
It is a further object of the present invention to provide a weather strip assembly having built in scraping means for scraping snow, ice or the like from adjacent the sliding panel so as to prevent elements from being blown into the building upon opening of the door or window.
Advantages of the present invention include the fact that the weather strip in accordance with the present invention can be readily installed on conventional sliding doors or windows.
According to one aspect of the present invention, there is provided a sealing arrangement for a sliding panel having a bottom sash designed for sliding engagement with a base, the sliding arrangement comprising, in combination, a sealing member for mounting on the base adjacent an exterior vertical surface of the bottom sash, the sealing member having an upper surface with first and second side marginal edges, the upper surface being inclined downwardly at an angle from the first marginal edge to the second marginal edge, the sealing member having a sealing element extending outwardly from the sealing member proximate the first marginal edge, the sealing element being designed for sealing engagement with the exterior vertical surface of the bottom sash; and a cleaning member comprising a blade and blade mounting means for mounting the blade on the exterior vertical surface of the bottom sash, the blade having an upper edge, a bottom edge, a first side edge designed to be mounted adjacent the exterior vertical surface of the bottom sash, and a second distal side edge, the bottom edge being angled downwardly from the first side edge to the second distal side edge at an angle substantially equal to the angle at which the upper surface is inclined downwardly.
In a further aspect of the present invention, in a horizontal sliding window arrangement wherein a sliding panel having a bottom sash is slidingly mounted on a base, there is provided the improvement comprising a sealing member mounted on the base adjacent an outer vertical surface of the bottom sash, the sealing member having an upper surface with first and second side marginal edges, the upper surface being inclined downwardly at an angle from the first marginal edge to the second marginal edge, the sealing member having a sealing element extending outwardly from the sealing member proximate the first marginal edge, the sealing member having a distal edge thereof in sealing engagement with the exterior vertical surface of the bottom sash, and a cleaning member including a blade portion mounted on the exterior vertical surface of the bottom sash, the blade portion extending outwardly from the exterior vertical surface of the bottom sash, the blade portion having a bottom edge angled downwardly at an angle substantially equal to the angle at which the upper surface is inclined downwardly.
In a still further aspect of the present invention, in a horizontal sliding door arrangement wherein a sliding panel having a bottom sash is slidingly mounted on a base, there is provided the improvement comprising a sealing member mounted on the base adjacent an outer vertical surface of the bottom sash, the sealing member having an upper surface with first and second side marginal edges, the upper surface being inclined downwardly at an angle from the first marginal edge to the second marginal edge, the sealing member having a sealing element extending outwardly from the sealing member proximate the first marginal edge, the sealing member having a distal edge thereof in sealing engagement with the exterior vertical surface of the bottom sash, and a cleaning member including a blade portion mounted on the exterior vertical surface of the bottom sash, the blade portion extending outwardly from the exterior vertical surface of the bottom sash, the blade portion having a bottom edge angled downwardly at an angle substantially equal to the angle at which the upper surface is inclined downwardly.
It will be understood that the sealing arrangement or the weather strip may be utilized in conjunction with any suitable sliding panel. Conventionally, such sliding panels are associated with a sliding door or window.
The sealing member may have its main body portion formed as an extrusion of a suitable material, be it plastic or metal. The flexible portions such as the sealing strip may be made of any suitable material such as various elastomeric materials.
BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS
An embodiment of the present invention will now be described, by way of example, in reference to the following drawings in which:
Figure 1 is a partial perspective view, with sections taken out, illustrating a sealing arrangement for a sliding panel in accordance with an embodiment of the present invention;
Figure 2 is an enlarged perspective view of a portion of Figure 1, illustrating the sealing arrangement, the panel being partially opened;
Figure 3 is a cross sectional view taken along the lines III - III of Figure 1;
Figure 4 is an exploded view illustrating a cleaning member in accordance with an embodiment of the present invention and the mounting thereof; and Figure 5 is a partial exploded view, with sections taken out, illustrating a portion of the sealing arrangement in accordance with the described embodiment of the present invention.
DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS
Referring to Figure 1, there is shown a weather strip sealing arrangement in accordance with an embodiment of the present, invention in conjunction with a conventional sliding window structure 12. Window structure 12 includes a glass panel 14 that is mounted within a sash 16.
The sash 16 forms the bottom frame portion of the sliding window. A pair of rollers 18 (only one of which is shown) are mounted to the sash 16 adjacent its opposite bottom corners. The rollers support the sliding window on a rail 20 which extends upwardly from a window sill 22 of the supporting frame. The supporting frame further includes vertical jambs 24. The window frame is mounted on a base structure 24 defining a base wall 26. The base wall 26 normally extends in a generally horizontal geometrical plane. The base structure 24 is itself mounted on a ledge 28 which forms a part of the building construction.
As illustrated in Figure 5, the weather stripping includes a sealing member 30 having a front section 32 and a rear section 34 which includes a rear vertical wall 36.
At least one and preferably two or three attachment members 38 are adapted to be fixably attached to the base wall 26 and secured to the ledge 28. Each attachment member 38 is provided with a plurality of L-shaped grooves 40 formed therein.
Grooves 40 are designed to receive and retain a mating L-shaped portion of sealing member 30 comprised of a bottom wall 37 and flange 39.
Grooves 40 are spaced relative to one another so as to allow for vertical adjustment. Thus, attachment members 38 and sealing member 30 are adapted to provide for easy installation of the weather shield on conventional window and door frame structures.
A sealing strip 42 is mounted on sealing member 30. The sealing strip 42 is preferably made of relatively resilient material such as an elastomeric resin.
The distal edge 44 of sealing strip 42 is adapted to abuttingly contact the sash 16 so as to provide a sealing connection with the latter.
As will be seen in the drawings, sealing strip 42 is secured by screws 41 whereby there is a substantially continuous upper surface 46 which is angled downwardly from rear section 34 towards front section 32. The angulation of the surface 46 allows for any accumulation of rain or snow that may have fallen thereon to slide offthe surface.
Another feature of the present invention resides in a cleaning member 48 illustrated more specifically in Figure 4 Cleaning member 48 has a substantially L-shaped configuration defining an attachment or mounting portion 50 and a blade 52. The mounting portion 50 is formed with a vertical slot 54 extending therethrough. The slot 54 is configured to fit over and mount on a handle 56 forming part of a conventional window structure.
Blade 52 has an angled lower peripheral edge 54 that is configured so as to be in a proximate relationship with the surface 46 - i.e. edge 54 is angled downwardly at an angle substantially equal to the angle of surface 46. Blade 52 of the component 48 is thus adapted to act as a scraper for scraping any snow or ice that may have adhered to the top surface 46. Again, the angled configuration of the top surface 46 will cause any rain, snow or other material to fall off the surface 46 when the latter is being scraped by blade 52.
Blade 52 thus prevents accumulation of elements such as snow or ice that may otherwise be blown into the building upon opening of the door or window Furthermore, the periodic opening and closing of the door or window will prevent any buildup of ice or snow that may otherwise freeze up and hinder the sliding motion.
The sealing arrangement in accordance with the present invention thus not only provides a seal against heat loss but also provides a means for keeping the outer structural components adjacent to the sash 16 free from environmental elements such as rain, snow or ice.
The blade portion is preferably spaced fairly close to the upper surface of the cleaning element. In this respect, it may itself include means for wiping the upper surface thereof if so desired.
As previously mentioned, the weather strip arrangement may be utilized with any suitable sliding panel and although it has been described with respect to a window, the weather strip can be used in conjunction with a door or other sliding member.

BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS
An embodiment of the present invention will now be described, by way of example, in reference to the following drawings in which:
Figure 1 is a partial perspective view, with sections taken out, illustrating a sealing arrangement for a sliding panel in accordance with an embodiment of the present invention;
Figure 2 is an enlarged perspective view of a portion of Figure 1, illustrating the sealing arrangement, the panel being partially opened;
Figure 3 is a cross sectional view taken along the lines III - III of Figure 1;
Figure 4 is an exploded view illustrating a cleaning member in accordance with an embodiment of the present invention and the mounting thereof; and Figure 5 is a partial exploded view, with sections taken out, illustrating a portion of the sealing arrangement in accordance with the described embodiment of the present invention.
DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS
Referring to Figure 1, there is shown a weather strip sealing arrangement in accordance with an embodiment of the present, invention in conjunction with a conventional sliding window structure 12. Window structure 12 includes a glass panel 14 that is mounted within a sash 16.
The sash 16 forms the bottom frame portion of the sliding window. A pair of rollers 18 (only one of which is shown) are mounted to the sash 16 adjacent its opposite bottom corners. The rollers support the sliding window on a rail 20 which extends upwardly from a window sill 22 of the supporting frame. The supporting frame further includes vertical jambs 24. The window frame is mounted on a base structure 24 defining a base wall 26. The base wall 26 normally extends in a generally horizontal geometrical plane. The base structure 24 is itself mounted on a ledge 28 which forms a part of the building construction.
As illustrated in Figure 5, the weather stripping includes a sealing member 30 having a front section 32 and a rear section 34 which includes a rear vertical wall 36.
At least one and preferably two or three attachment members 38 are adapted to be fixably attached to the base wall 26 and secured to the ledge 28. Each attachment member 38 is provided with a plurality of L-shaped grooves 40 formed therein.
Grooves 40 are designed to receive and retain a mating L-shaped portion of sealing member 30 comprised of a bottom wall 37 and flange 39.
Grooves 40 are spaced relative to one another so as to allow for vertical adjustment. Thus, attachment members 38 and sealing member 30 are adapted to provide for easy installation of the weather shield on conventional window and door frame structures.
A sealing strip 42 is mounted on sealing member 30. The sealing strip 42 is preferably made of relatively resilient material such as an elastomeric resin.
The distal edge 44 of sealing strip 42 is adapted to abuttingly contact the sash 16 so as to provide a sealing connection with the latter.
As will be seen in the drawings, sealing strip 42 is secured by screws 41 whereby there is a substantially continuous upper surface 46 which is angled downwardly from rear section 34 towards front section 32. The angulation of the surface 46 allows for any accumulation of rain or snow that may have fallen thereon to slide offthe surface.
Another feature of the present invention resides in a cleaning member 48 illustrated more specifically in Figure 4 Cleaning member 48 has a substantially L-shaped configuration defining an attachment or mounting portion 50 and a blade 52. The mounting portion 50 is formed with a vertical slot 54 extending therethrough. The slot 54 is configured to fit over and mount on a handle 56 forming part of a conventional window structure.
Blade 52 has an angled lower peripheral edge 54 that is configured so as to be in a proximate relationship with the surface 46 - i.e. edge 54 is angled downwardly at an angle substantially equal to the angle of surface 46. Blade 52 of the component 48 is thus adapted to act as a scraper for scraping any snow or ice that may have adhered to the top surface 46. Again, the angled configuration of the top surface 46 will cause any rain, snow or other material to fall off the surface 46 when the latter is being scraped by blade 52.
Blade 52 thus prevents accumulation of elements such as snow or ice that may otherwise be blown into the building upon opening of the door or window Furthermore, the periodic opening and closing of the door or window will prevent any buildup of ice or snow that may otherwise freeze up and hinder the sliding motion.
The sealing arrangement in accordance with the present invention thus not only provides a seal against heat loss but also provides a means for keeping the outer structural components adjacent to the sash 16 free from environmental elements such as rain, snow or ice.
The blade portion is preferably spaced fairly close to the upper surface of the cleaning element. In this respect, it may itself include means for wiping the upper surface thereof if so desired.
As previously mentioned, the weather strip arrangement may be utilized with any suitable sliding panel and although it has been described with respect to a window, the weather strip can be used in conjunction with a door or other sliding member.
