Definitions

  • the limbs of the double-channel frame are hinged to the bight of the section and have snap-action inter-engaging formations so that they can be swung aside as first the front pane is placed in position, then the central limb is snapped into engagement with the front limb, then the second pane is placed in position and finally the third limb is snapped into engagement with the second one.
  • This is relatively complex and costly, and furthermore the use of the seals as the means to provide frictional resistance to movement results in unsatisfactory performance in practice.
  • the aim of the invention is to put forward a practical form of double glazing involving vertically sliding sash windows, in which the individual panes are not only held satisfactorily in the positions to which they are set by the user but are also capable of being mounted and dismounted easily with the side frame members already in place.
  • a double glazing assembly for fitting to existing window frames and comprising a pair of panes designed to move vertically between vertical channel-like side members, in which a first pane is pressed in a direction perpendicular to its plane against a flange on each side frame member by a respective vertically extending first resilient strip member and a second pane is pressed against the back of the said first strip member by a second resilient strip member, each strip member abutting against a side portion of the side frame member by means of releasable interengaging hook formations.
  • the two transparent sheets or panes do not have separate respective tracks or channels but on the contrary are arranged in a common channel with the second pressed against the first (through the intermediary of the first strip).
  • the transparent sheets are of synthetic material rather than glass, for example 1.75 mm or 2 mm thick plastics sheet, for example acrylic sheet,, and without individual frames of their own, so that their weight is very low; one or both of the sheets may be provided with handles, and there may be the usual meeting rails at their overlapping horizontal edges to seal them to one another in the fully closed position.
  • all the components are made as light alloy or plastics extrusions.
  • a pane in the form of a sheet 2 of transparent acrylic, sheet, 2 mm thick, is resiliently pressed against ribs 3 on the frame by a resilient strip member made up of two extrusions 4 and 5;
  • the component 4 is shaped to engage in the side wall of the frame 1 by means of a flange 6 received in a slot 7 in the frame member 1 and by co-operating hook formations 8 on the side of the component 4 and the adjacent face of the side limb of the frame member 1.
  • the component 5 is of flanged channel section, fitting into the member 4 and urged to the outermost limit of its projection from that member by a resilient rubber tube 9 which serves as a spring distributed throughout the length of the member.
  • a second strip 4', 5', with a spring 9, is also snapped into the frame 1 behind the first one and presses a second pane of transparent material resiliently against the back ,of the first strip.
  • a flange 6 on the component 4' engages between the side of the first strip member and the frame 1, and again there are interengaging hook formations 8.
  • This second pane is not visible in Figure 1, which is a section through the lower part of the assembly; in the closed condition of the added window, the-pane 2 occupies the lower half of the opening and the other pane (shown at 10 in Figure 5) occupies the upper half.
  • Figure 4 shows how the strip member 4, 5 is assembled into the frame.
  • the flange 6 of the strip member 4, 5 is introduced into the slot 7 and then, with the member compressed, the hook formations 8 are engaged.
  • the second pane 10 can then be mounted in a similar manner, followed by the second strip member. Dismounting is achieved by the reverse procedure. It will thus be seen that the panes can readily be mounted and removed after the frame members 1 have been secured permanently in place.
  • Figure 5 shows how the top edge of the pane 2 and the bottom edge of the palle 10 carry along their full lengths identical extruded sections 11, each having a draughtproofing strip 12 that bears on the other pane, so as to form an effective seal when the window is closed.
  • the top edge of the pane 10 and the bottom edge of the pane 2 are fitted with full-length handles 13, with integral flanges 14; in the closed position of the window the flange 14 on the bottom pane 2 intrudes between the bottom frame member 1 and the associated strip 4, 5, whilst the flange 14 on the other pane 10 fits between the two strips 4, 5 and 4', 5' along the top of the frame.
  • both panes can be slid vertically by the user, making use of the handles 13, and each will remain where it is set, gripped frictionally by the strips 4, 5 and 4', 5'.
  • These strips could take forms other than that shown, the essential feature being an extended resilient grip on the sheets; for example other forms of spring may be used, and it may be possible to combine the strip and the spring in a single extrusion.
  • Another possibility is to have springs at a number of separate vertically spaced points.
  • Metal springs for example of flattened Vee or undulating form may be used in place of the tube 9 to urge the two components of the strip apart.
