Description

L'invention concerne un dispositif pour assurer l'étanchéité à l'eau et à l'air d'une fenêtre ou porte-fenêtre à deux ouvrants, réalisée en bois, en aluminium ou en tout autre matériau.The invention relates to a device for ensuring the water and air tightness of a window or French window with two openings, made of wood, aluminum or any other material.

On a constaté qu'en pratique il était extrêmement difficile d'assurer de façon totale l'étanchéité à l'eau et à l'air d'une fenêtre ou porte-fenêtre à deux ouvrants, en raison de la présence des jeux fonctionnels horizontaux et verticaux qui existent nécessairement, d'une part, entre les deux côtés verticaux en regard des ouvrants et, d'autre part, entre les trois autres côtés de ces ouvrants et les côtés correspondants du châssis dormant. Ces jeux fonctionnels, non seulement, communiquent entre eux, mais communiquent également avec une gorge de récupération d'eau qui est formée dans ou rapportée sur la traverse horizontale inférieure du châssis dormant et dont le fond comprend des passages ou perçages obliques débouchant à l'extérieur pour l'évacuation de l'eau.It was found that in practice it was extremely difficult to completely seal the water and air tightness of a window or French window with two doors, due to the presence of horizontal functional clearances. and vertical which necessarily exist, on the one hand, between the two vertical sides opposite the opening and, on the other hand, between the other three sides of these opening and the corresponding sides of the sleeping frame. These functional clearances not only communicate with each other, but also communicate with a water recovery groove which is formed in or attached to the lower horizontal cross member of the sleeping frame and the bottom of which comprises oblique passages or holes opening out to the outside for water drainage.

Dans les solutions proposées jusqu'à présent pour assurer l'étanchéité de la fermeture d'une telle fenêtre ou porte-fenêtre, on s'est contenté de monter un joint d'étanchéité soit sur la périphérie des ouvrants, soit sur la périphérie interne du châssis dormant, en général du côté de la face interne des ouvrants ou du châssis dormant ce qui se révèle tout à fait insuffisant et inadapté en cas de forte pluie (débit d'eau trop important dans la gorge de ré- cupératoin qui ne peut évacuer l'eau suffisamment vite et la fait s'écouler vers l'intérieur) et/ou de vent fort (infiltrations d'eau et d'air par les jeux fonctionnels, en particulier à leurs intersections).In the solutions proposed so far to ensure the tightness of the closure of such a window or French window, we have been content to mount a seal either on the periphery of the opening, or on the internal periphery. of the sleeping frame, generally on the side of the inner side of the sashes or of the sleeping frame, which turns out to be entirely insufficient and unsuitable in the event of heavy rain (too much water flow in the recovery groove which cannot evacuate the water fast enough and cause it to flow inwards) and / or strong wind (infiltration of water and air by functional play, in particular at their intersections).

L'utilisation de joints d'étanchéité de forme complexe, par exemple à lèvre d'étanchéité repliée sur elle-même, n'a pas apporté d'amélioration sensible, en raison du fait que le pli de la lèvre d'étanchéité s'ouvre vers l'extérieur et constitue un canal dans lequel l'eau s'accumule et circule jusqu'aux intersections des jeux fonctionnels d'où elle peut pénétrer à l'intérieur de la pièce comportant la fenêtre ou la porte-fenêtre.The use of seals of complex shape, for example with a sealing lip folded back on itself, has not brought any appreciable improvement, due to the fact that the fold of the sealing lip opens towards the outside and constitutes a channel in which water collects and circulates until the intersections of functional games from where it can penetrate inside the room with the window or the French window.

Un exemple d'utilisation de joints à lèvre repliée est donné par la réalisation, décrite dans la demande de brevet DE-A 3 438 126, d'un dispositif d'étanchéité à l'eau et à l'air pour une fenêtre ou porte-fenêtre à deux ouvrants dont trois côtés coopèrent à la fermeture, par des joints d'étanchéité, avec des montants verticaux et des traverses horizontales d'un châssis dormant, et dont les quatrièmes côtés, destinés à coopérer entre eux en position de fermeture comprennent chacun une face verticale destinée à s'appliquer à la fermeture sur la face verticale correspondante du quatrième côté de l'autre ouvrant, le dispositif comportant, de plus, un élément d'étanchéité s'étendant sur ladite face verticale du quatrième côté de l'ouvrant secondaire et présentant une longueur supérieure à celle de cette face verticale, de sorte que ses extrémités dépassent de part et d'autre de cette face verticale et s'appliquent à la fermeture sur des faces verticales internes de feuillures des traverses horizontales supérieure et inférieure respectivement du châssis dormant et un joint d'étanchéité monté sur le quatrième côté de l'ouvrant principal dans le plan de ladite face verticale de celui-ci, et présentant une longueur sensiblement égale à celle dudit élément d'étanchéité pour venir s'appliquer par compression élastique sur celui-ci à la fermeture, en obturant de façon étanche, non seulement le jeu fonctionnel vertical entre les ouvrants, mais également les intersections de ce jeu fonctionnel avec les jeux fontionnels horizontaux formés entre les côtés horizontaux des ouvrants et les traverses horizontales du châssis dormant. Ce dispositif incorpore dans sa réalisation pratique deux joints à lèvre repliée identiques et se chevauchant. Cette disposition provoque au niveau des intersections des jeux une surcompression locale des joints, qui est nuisible à l'étanchéité de l'ensemble du dispositif et qui, à terme, risque de provoquer une détérioration des joints.An example of use of folded lip seals is given by the embodiment, described in patent application DE-A 3 438 126, of a water and air tightness device for a window or door -window with two openings, three sides of which cooperate in closing, by seals, with vertical uprights and horizontal crosspieces of a fixed frame, and the fourth sides of which, intended to cooperate with each other in the closed position, comprise each a vertical face intended to be applied to the closure on the corresponding vertical face on the fourth side of the other opening, the device comprising, in addition, a sealing element extending on said vertical face on the fourth side of the secondary opening and having a length greater than that of this vertical face, so that its ends protrude on either side of this vertical face and are applied to the closure on faces s internal vertical rebates of the upper and lower horizontal crosspieces respectively of the sleeping frame and a seal mounted on the fourth side of the main opening in the plane of said vertical face thereof, and having a length substantially equal to that of said sealing element to come to be applied by elastic compression thereon upon closing, sealing off not only the vertical functional clearance between the opening elements, but also the intersections of this functional clearance with the functional clearances horizontal formed between the horizontal sides of the sashes and the horizontal crosspieces of the frame. This device incorporates in its practical embodiment two identical folded and overlapping lip seals. This arrangement causes at the intersections of the games a local over-compression of the joints, which is detrimental to the tightness of the entire device and which, in the long term, risks causing deterioration of the joints.

Par ailleurs, dans certains cas, les joints d'étanchéité sont en partie visibles dans la position de fermeture de la fenêtre ou de la porte-fenêtre, ce qui nuit à l'esthétique.Furthermore, in some cases, the seals are partly visible in the closed position of the window or the French window, which is detrimental to the aesthetics.

L'invention a pour but d'éviter les inconvénients et insuffisances des solutions connues.The object of the invention is to avoid the drawbacks and inadequacies of the known solutions.

Elle apour object un dispositif propre à assurer l'étanchéité à l'eau et à l'air d'une fenêtre ou d'une porte-fenêtre à deux ouvrants, même en cas de très mauvais temps, et cela sans modifier l'aspect extérieur ou intérieur de la fenêtre ou porte-fenêtre.It aims to provide a device capable of ensuring the water and air tightness of a window or a French window with two doors, even in the event of very bad weather, without changing the appearance exterior or interior of the window or French window.

L'invention propose donc un dispositif d'étanchéité à l'eau et à l'air pour une fenêtre ou porte-fenêtre à deux ouvrants dont trois côtés coopèrent à la fermeture par des joints d'étanchéité, avec des montants verticaux et des traverses horizontales d'un châssis dormant, et dont les quatrièmes côtés, destinés à coopérer entre eux en position de fermeture, comprennent chacun une face verticale destinée à s'appliquer à la fermeture sur la face verticale correspondante du quatrième côté de l'autre ouvrant, le dispositif comportant, de plus, un élément d'étanchéité s'étendant sur ladite face verticale du quatrième côté de l'ouvrant secondaire et présentant un longueur supérieure à celle de cette face verticale, de sorte que ses extrémités dépassent de part et d'autre de cette face verticale et s'appliquent à la fermeture sur des faces verticales internes de feuillures des traverses horizontale supérieure et inférieure respectivement du châssis dormant, et un joint d'étanchéité monté sur le quatrième côté de l'ouvrant principal, dans le plan de ladite face verticale de celui-ci, et présentant une longueur sensiblement égale à celle dudit élément d'étanchéité pour venir s'appliquer par compression élastique sur celui-ci à la fermeture, en obturant de façon étanche, non seulement le jeu fonctionnel vertical entre les deux ouvrants, mais éfalement les intersections de ce jeu fonctionnel avec les jeux fonctionnels horizontaux formés entre les côtés horizontaux des ouvrants et les traverses horizontales du châssis dormant, caractérisé en ce que lesdites faces verticales coopérantes desdits quatrièmes côtés s'étendent chacune dans le plan de la face extérieure de l'ouvrant correspondant et en ce que ledit élément d'étanchéité est constitué d'une bande d'étanchéité sensiblement plate adjacentes à une partie d'un joint d'étanchéité monté sur le quatrième côté de l'ouvrant secondaire.The invention therefore provides a water and air tightness device for a window or French window with two openings, three sides of which cooperate in closing by seals, with vertical uprights and crosspieces. horizontal of a sleeping frame, and the fourth sides of which, intended to cooperate with each other in the closed position, each include a vertical face intended to apply to the closure on the corresponding vertical face of the fourth side of the other opening, the device comprising, in addition, a sealing element extending on said vertical face of the fourth side of the secondary opening and having a length greater than that of this vertical face, so that its ends protrude from both sides other of this vertical face and apply to the closure on internal vertical faces of rebates of the upper and lower horizontal cross members respectively of the frame frame, and a seal mounted on the fourth side of the main opening, in the plane of said vertical face thereof, and having a length substantially equal to that of said sealing element to be applied by elastic compression on the latter when closing, sealing tightly, not only the vertical functional clearance between the two opening elements, but also the intersections of this functional clearance with the horizontal functional clearances formed between the horizontal sides of the opening elements and the crosspieces horizontal of the sleeping frame, characterized in that said cooperating vertical faces of said fourth sides each extend in the plane of the outside face of the corresponding opening and in that said sealing element consists of a strip substantially flat seal adjacent to part of a seal mounted on the fourth side of the secondary opening.

Le dispositif selon l'invention a donc une double fonction:

  • - placé dans le plan de la face extérieure des ouvrants, il s'oppose à l'entrée d'eau et d'air dans le jeu fonctionnel entre les ouvrants, grâce à la compression du joint d'étanchéité de l'ouvrant principal sur la bande d'étanchéité de l'ouvrant secondaire, de sorte que l'eau et/ou l'air ne peuvent s'accumuler et circuler dans ce jeu fonctionnel,
  • - il obture les intersections, de ce jeu fonctionnel vertical avec les jeux fonctionnels horizontaux, l'obturation étant réalisée sur le côté extérieur de ces intersections pour y éviter l'entrée d'eau et/ou d'air.
The device according to the invention therefore has a double function:
  • - placed in the plane of the outside of the opening, it prevents the entry of water and air into the functional clearance between the opening, thanks to the compression of the seal of the main opening on the sealing strip of the secondary opening, so that water and / or air cannot accumulate and circulate in this functional clearance,
  • - It closes the intersections of this vertical functional clearance with the horizontal functional clearances, the obturation being carried out on the exterior side of these intersections to prevent the entry of water and / or air.

De façon commode, la dite bande d'étanchéité s'étend sur la face verticale interne d'une batte verticale prévue de façon classique sur la face extérieure du quatrième côté de l'ouvrant secondaire.Conveniently, said sealing strip extends over the internal vertical face of a vertical batten provided in a conventional manner on the external face of the fourth side of the secondary opening.

Il suffit donc d'appliquer la bande d'étanchéité sur la face verticale interne de la batte, qui est déjà présente sur l'ouvrant secondaire.It is therefore sufficient to apply the sealing strip to the internal vertical face of the bat, which is already present on the secondary opening.

Selon une autre caractéristique de l'invention, le joint d'étanchéité monté sur le quatrème côté de l'ouvrant secondaire et le joint d'étanchéité monté sur la quatrième côté de l'ouvrant principal s'étendent de façon continue sur les trois autres côtés de l'ouvrant correspondant.According to another characteristic of the invention, the seal mounted on the fourth side of the secondary opening and the sealing mounted on the fourth side of the main opening extend continuously over the other three sides of the corresponding sash.

Grâce à cette disposition, on réalise une étanchéité à l'eau et à l'air dans le plan de la face extérieure des ouvrants, non seulement au niveau du jeu fonctionnel vertical entre les ouvrants, mais également au niveau des jeux fonctionnels horizontaux et verticaux entre les ouvrants et le châssis dormant, ainsi qu'aux intersections de ces jeux fonctionnels.Thanks to this arrangement, a water and air tightness is produced in the plane of the outer face of the opening elements, not only at the level of the vertical functional clearance between the opening elements, but also at the level of the horizontal and vertical functional clearances. between the sashes and the frame, as well as at the intersections of these functional clearances.

Avantageusement, selon un mode de réalisation préféré de l'invention, la dite bande d'étanchéité fait partie intégrante du joint d'étanchéité de l'ouvrant secondaire et lui est raccordée, par exemple par une ligne ou rainure d'affaiblissement ou de prédécoupe.Advantageously, according to a preferred embodiment of the invention, said sealing strip forms an integral part of the seal of the secondary opening and is connected to it, for example by a line or groove of weakening or precut .

On peut donc monter le joint d'étanchéité sur toute la périphérie de l'ouvrant secondaire, en ne laissant subsister la bande d'étanchéité que sur la partie du joint qui s'étend le long du quatrième côté de l'ouvrant secondaire.It is therefore possible to mount the seal over the entire periphery of the secondary opening, leaving the sealing strip only on the part of the seal which extends along the fourth side of the secondary opening.

Chacun des joints d'étanchéité de l'ouvrant principal et de l'ouvrant secondaire comprend par exemple une première partie de montage et de maintien dans une rainure périphérique de l'ouvrant, et une seconde partie, tubulaire, d'application à étanchéité sur une face verticale d'un côté d'un ouvrant ou du châssis dormant.Each of the gaskets of the main opening and of the secondary opening comprises for example a first part for mounting and holding in a peripheral groove of the opening, and a second part, tubular, for sealing application on a vertical face on one side of a sash or of the sleeping frame.

Le montage de ces joints s'effectue donc de façon commode et aisée, par simple introduction de leur première partie dans la rainure de montage.The mounting of these seals is therefore carried out in a convenient and easy manner, by simple introduction of their first part into the mounting groove.

Par ailleurs, ces seconds parties des joints d'étanchéité des deux ouvrants s'appliquent à la fermeture, le long du côté horizontal inférieur des ouvrants, sur une face interne de la paroi extérieure de la gorge de récupération d'eau qui est normalement formée dans ou rapportée sur la traverse horizontale inférieure du châssis dormant, pour s'opposer ainsi à l'introduction d'eau dans cette gorge.Furthermore, these second parts of the seals of the two openings apply to the closure, along the lower horizontal side of the openings, on an internal face of the external wall of the water recovery groove which is normally formed. in or attached to the lower horizontal crossmember of the sleeping frame, to thus oppose the introduction of water into this groove.

On évite ainsi l'entrée directe d'eau dans la gorge de récupération d'eau. Comme les secondes parties de ces joints réalisent une étanchéité continue à la fermeture sur toute la périphérie de chacun des deux ouvrants, dans le plan de la face extérieure des ouvrants, on évite, ou au moins on réduit à un minimum l'entrée d'eau ou d'air sur toute la longueur des jeux fonctionnels et à leurs intersections.This avoids the direct entry of water into the water recovery groove. As the second parts of these seals produce a continuous seal upon closure over the entire periphery of each of the two opening elements, in the plane of the external face of the opening elements, the entry of water or air over the entire length of the functional clearances and at their intersections.

Le côté horizontal inférieur des ouvrants peut comporter, sur sa face extérieure, un profilé horizontal formant "rejet d'eau" qui, dans la position de fermeture des ouvrants, déborde vers l'extérieur au-dessus de la gorge de récupération d'eau pour empêcher l'eau de ruissellement d'arriver jusqu'à cette gorge.The lower horizontal side of the openings may have, on its outer face, a horizontal profile forming "water discharge" which, in the closed position of the openings, projects outwards above the water recovery groove to prevent runoff from reaching this gorge.

En outre, un joint d'étanchéité à lèvre est monté sur les traverses horizontales et les montants verticaux du châssis dormant, dans le plan des ouvrants dans leur position de fermeture, mais vers l'intérieur par rapport à la face extérieure des ouvrants, de telle sorte que la lèvre de ce joint vient obturer de façon continue, dans leur partie médiane, les jeux fonctionnels entre les ouvrants et le châssis dormant. Sur la traverse horizontale inférieure du châssis dormant, la lèvre de ce joint d'étanchéité vient fermer la face interne de la gorge de récupération d'eau.In addition, a lip seal is mounted on the horizontal crosspieces and the vertical uprights of the sleeping frame, in the plane of the opening elements in their closed position, but inwards with respect to the external face of the opening elements, so that the lip of this seal continuously obtains, in their middle part, the functional clearances between the opening elements and the standing frame. On the lower horizontal cross member of the sleeping frame, the lip of this seal seals the internal face of the water recovery groove.

Pour améliorer encore l'étanchéité au niveau du jeu fonctionnel vertical entre les deux ouvrants de la fenêtre ou porte-fenêtre, on peut prévoir un joint supplémentaire à lèvre d'étanchéité monté sur le chant du quatrième côté de l'ouvrant secondaire, parallèlement au plan de l'ouvrant et à l'intérieur par rapport au premier joint d'étanchéité monté sur cet ouvrant, la lèvre de ce joint supplémentaire venant s'appliquer, à la fermeture, sur la face verticale d'une feuillure formée dans le chant du quatrième côté de l'ouvrant principal et, à ses extrémités, sur la lèvre du joint d'étanchéité monté dans le châssis dormant.To further improve the seal at the level of the vertical functional clearance between the two opening elements of the window or French window, an additional sealing lip seal can be provided mounted on the edge of the fourth side of the secondary opening, parallel to the plane of the opening and inside with respect to the first seal mounted on this opening, the lip of this additional seal coming to apply, when closing, on the vertical face of a rebate formed in the edge on the fourth side of the main opening and, at its ends, on the lip of the seal mounted in the frame.

De cette façon, le jeu fonctionnel vertical entre les deux ouvrants et ses intersections avec les jeux fonctionnels horizontaux supérieur et inférieur sont obturés par un sas d'étanchéité permettant d'obtenir une étanchéité totale à l'eau et à l'air entre les deux ouvrants.In this way, the vertical functional clearance between the two openings and its intersections with the upper and lower horizontal functional clearances are closed off by a sealing airlock making it possible to obtain a total seal against water and air between the two. opening.

L'invention concerne également une fenêtre ou porte-fenêtre à deux ouvrants, caractérisée en ce que ses ouvrants et son châssis dormant sont équipés d'un dispositif d'étanchéité selon l'invention.The invention also relates to a window or French window with two openings, characterized in that its openings and its sleeping frame are equipped with a sealing device according to the invention.

On a représenté dans les dessins un exemple de réalisation d'un dispositif d'étanchéité selon l'invention pour une fenêtre ou porte-fenêtre à deux ouvrants.The drawings show an exemplary embodiment of a sealing device according to the invention for a window or French window with two openings.

Cette fenêtre ou porte-fenêtre comprend un châssis dormant 10 formé de deux traverses horizontales 12 supérieure et inférieure, et de deux montants verticaux 14 réunissant les traverses 12 à leurs extrémités. Les deux ouvrants 16 et 18 de la fenêtre ou porte-fenêtre sont montés, au moyen de gonds, sur les montants verticaux 14 du châssis dormant 10. De façon classique, les ouvrants 16 et 18 comprennent chacun un cadre périphérique à contour carré ou rectangulaire, réalisé par exemple en bois ou en aluminium, dont deux côtés horizontaux et un côté vertical coopérent à la fermeture, respectivement, avec les traverses 12 et les montants 14 du châssis dormant 10, tandisque les quatrièmes côtés verticaux de ces deux cadres coopèrent entre eux et sont amenés l'un contre l'autre à la fermeture des ouvrants. Des jeux fonctionnels horizontaux et verticaux existent nécessairement, d'une part entre les côtés des ouvrants et les côtés correspondants du châssis dormant et, d'autre part, entre les quatrièmes côtés des deux ouvrants qui coopèrent entre eux. Ces jeux fonctionnels communiquent entre eux à leurs extrémités, et communiquent également avec une gorge de récupération d'eau formée ou rapportée sur la traverse horizontale inférieure 12 du châssis dormant.This window or French window comprises a sleeping frame 10 formed by two horizontal crosspieces 12, upper and lower, and by two vertical uprights 14 joining the crosspieces 12 at their ends. The two openings 16 and 18 of the window or French window are mounted, by means of hinges, on the vertical uprights 14 of the sleeping frame 10. Conventionally, the openings 16 and 18 each comprise a peripheral frame with a square or rectangular outline , made for example of wood or aluminum, two horizontal sides and one vertical side cooperate in closing, respectively, with the crosspieces 12 and the uprights 14 of the sleeping frame 10, while the fourth vertical sides of these two frames cooperate with each other and are brought against each other when the opening closes. Horizontal and vertical functional clearances necessarily exist, on the one hand between the sides of the opening and the corresponding sides of the sleeping frame and, on the other hand, between the fourth sides of the two opening which cooperate with each other. These functional clearances communicate with each other at their ends, and also communicate with a water recovery groove formed or attached to the lower horizontal cross member 12 of the sleeping frame.

En figure 3, la gorge 20 de récupération d'eau est formée par une rainure horizontale de la face supérieure de la traverse 12 et communique avec l'extérieur par des trous 22 d'écoulement d'eau formés dans la traverse 12.In FIG. 3, the water recovery groove 20 is formed by a horizontal groove in the upper face of the cross member 12 and communicates with the outside through holes 22 for water flow formed in the cross member 12.

En figure 4, la gorge de récupération d'eau est formée par un profilé horizontal 24, par exemple en aluminium, qui est rapporté sur l'extérieur de la traverse horizontale 12 et qui comprend dans son fond des orifices 26 d'écoulement d'eau vers l'extérieur. Les deux extrémités longitudinales de ce profilé 24 sont fermées à étanchéité par des embouts 28 de matière plastique, montés à force dans ces extrémités du profilé 24 aux extrémités de la traverse horizontale inférieure 12.In Figure 4, the water recovery groove is formed by a horizontal profile 24, for example aluminum, which is attached to the outside of the horizontal cross member 12 and which comprises in its bottom orifices 26 for flow of water to the outside. The two longitudinal ends of this profile 24 are closed by airtight fittings 28 of plastic, force-fitted into these ends of the profile 24 at the ends of the lower horizontal cross member 12.

Pour éviter l'entrée d'eau et d'air dans les jeux fonctionnels en position de fermeture des ouvrants, et pour réduire à un minimum la quantité d'eau susceptible de circuler dans la gorge de récupération d'eau, même en cas de très mauvais temps, chaque ouvrant 16, 18 est équipé d'un joint d'étanchéité 30, 32 respectivement qui s'étend de façon continue sur toute la périphérie de l'ouvrant dans le plan de sa face extérieure et dont la forme en section transversale est représentée plus en détail en figure 6 ou 7 respectivement. Le joint d'étanchéité 30 de l'ouvrant principal 16 (c'est à dire du vantail ou du battant qui est ouvert en premier lieu à l'ouverture de la fenêtre ou de la porte-fenêtre et qui est fermé en second lieu) est un profilé réalisé par extrusion en matière élastomère, comprenant une première partie 34 de montage et de maintien dans une rainure périphérique 36 de l'ouvrant, et une seconde partie 38, qui est tubulaire et qui s'etend sensiblement perpendiculairement à la première partie 34, avec une forme grossièrement tra- pézoidale présentant une face plane 40 à son extrémité opposée à la première partie 34.To avoid the entry of water and air into the functional clearances in the closed position of the opening elements, and to reduce to a minimum the amount of water likely to circulate in the water recovery groove, even in the event of very bad weather, each opening 16, 18 is equipped with a seal 30, 32 respectively which extends continuously over the entire periphery of the opening in the plane of its outer face and whose shape in section transverse is shown in more detail in Figure 6 or 7 respectively. The gasket 30 of the main opening 16 (that is to say the leaf or the leaf which is opened in the first place at the opening of the window or the French window and which is closed in the second place) is a profile made by extrusion of elastomeric material, comprising a first part 34 for mounting and holding in a peripheral groove 36 of the opening, and a second part 38, which is tubular and which extends substantially perpendicular to the first part 34, with a roughly trapezoidal shape having a planar face 40 at its end opposite to the first part 34.

Cette première partie 34 a la forme d'une bande plate allongée, dont une face comprend des sillons longitudinaux 42 et dont l'autre face est formé avec des nervures obliques 44 orientées vers la seconde partie 38 du joint, dans un sens facilitant l'introduction de la première partie 34 dans la rainure de montage 36, et s'opposant à son extraction.This first part 34 has the shape of an elongated flat strip, one face of which comprises longitudinal grooves 42 and the other face of which is formed with oblique ribs 44 oriented towards the second part 38 of the joint, in a direction facilitating the introduction of the first part 34 in the mounting groove 36, and opposing its extraction.

La rainure 36 de montage du joint 30 est formée sur toute la périphérie extérieure de l'ouvrant principal 16 dans le chant de l'ouvrant et au voisinage immédiat de sa face extérieure 46, de telle sorte que, quand la première partie 34 du joint 30 est montée dans la rainure 36, la face plate 40 de sa seconde partie soit sensiblement coplanaire à la face extérieure 46 de l'ouvrant, ou très légèrement en saillie sur cette face extérieure.The groove 36 for mounting the seal 30 is formed over the entire outer periphery of the main opening 16 in the edge of the opening and in the immediate vicinity of its outer face 46, so that when the first part 34 of the seal 30 is mounted in the groove 36, the flat face 40 of its second part is substantially coplanar with the outer face 46 of the opening, or very slightly projecting on this outer face.

Le joint 32 monté de façon continue sur toute la périphérie de l'ouvrant secondaire 18 (c'est à dire le vantail ou battant ouvert en second lieu et fermé en premier lieu) comprend, comme on le voit mieux en figure 7, une première partie 48 de montage et de maintien dans une rainure 50 du chant de l'ouvrant 18, cette première partie 48 étant identique à la première partie 34 du joint 30, une seconde partie 52 in- dentique à la seconde partie 38 du joint 30, et une troisième partie 54 en forme de bande sensiblement plane, s'étendant vers l'extérieur, à l'opposé de la première partie 48, dans le plan de la face extérieure plane 56 de la seconde partie 52 du joint, et raccordée à celle-ci par une partie plus mince 58 formant une ligne ou zone de prédécoupe ou amorce de rupture.The seal 32 mounted continuously over the entire periphery of the secondary opening 18 (that is to say the leaf or leaf open secondly and closed first) comprises, as best seen in FIG. 7, a first part 48 for mounting and holding in a groove 50 the edge of the opening 18, this first part 48 being identical to the first part 34 of the joint 30, a second part 52 indicates the second part 38 of the joint 30, and a third part 54 in the form of a substantially planar strip, extending towards the outside, opposite the first part 48, in the plane of the planar external face 56 of the second part 52 of the joint, and connected to the latter by a thinner part 58 forming a line or zone of precut or initiation of rupture.

La rainure 50 de montage du joint 32 est formée dans le chant de l'ouvrant 18, au voisinage immédiat de la face extérieure 60 de cet ouvrant, de telle sorte que, quand le joint 32 est monté dans la rainure 50, la face plane 56 de sa seconde partie 52 et la face extérieure de sa troisième partie 54 s'étendent sensiblement dans le plan de la face extérieure 60 de l'ouvrant 18.The groove 50 for mounting the seal 32 is formed in the edge of the opening 18, in the immediate vicinity of the outer face 60 of this opening, so that, when the seal 32 is mounted in the groove 50, the flat face 56 of its second part 52 and the external face of its third part 54 extend substantially in the plane of the external face 60 of the opening 18.

De façon classique, le quatrième côté 62 de l'ouvrant secondaire 18 comprend, sur sa face extérieure 60, un montant vertical 64 appelé batte qui dépasse latéralement en saillie du bord extérieur du quatrième côté 62 de l'ouvrant et présente donc une face verticale interne 66 en saillie sur laquelle est appliquée la troisième partie 54 du joint 32. A la fermeture, la face extérieure 46 du quatrième côté 68 de l'ouvrant principal 16 vient s'appliquer également sur la face verticale interne 66 de la batte 64 (figures 1 et 1 A), l'ensemble étant prévu pour que la seconde partie 40 du joint 30 de l'ouvrant principal 16 soit comprimée et déformée élastiquement sur le bord vertical libre de la troisième partie 54 du joint 32 de l'ouvrant secondaire 18. Ainsi, une partie de la face plane 40 du joint 30 est appliquée à étanchéité sur la face verticale interne 66 de la batte 64, et l'autre partie de cette face plane 40 du joint 30 est appliquée sur la face interne de la troisième partie 54 du joint 32, la face externe de cette troisième partie 54 étant elle-même appliquée à pression sur la face interne verticale 66 de la batte 64, dans la position de fermeture de la fenêtre ou porte-fenêtre.Conventionally, the fourth side 62 of the secondary opening 18 comprises, on its external face 60, a vertical upright 64 called bat which projects laterally projecting from the external edge of the fourth side 62 of the opening and therefore has a vertical face internal 66 projecting on which the third part 54 of the joint 32 is applied. method, the outer face 46 of the fourth side 68 of the main opening 16 also applies to the internal vertical face 66 of the bat 64 (Figures 1 and 1 A), the assembly being provided so that the second part 40 of the seal 30 of the main opening 16 is compressed and elastically deformed on the free vertical edge of the third part 54 of the seal 32 of the secondary opening 18. Thus, part of the flat face 40 of the seal 30 is applied to sealing on the internal vertical face 66 of the bat 64, and the other part of this planar face 40 of the seal 30 is applied to the internal face of the third part 54 of the seal 32, the external face of this third part 54 being itself even applied under pressure on the vertical internal face 66 of the bat 64, in the closed position of the window or French window.

On notera que les rainures 36 et 50 de montage des joints 30 et 32 sont conçues pour supporter entièrement les faces tournées vers l'intérieur des premières et secondes parties de ces joints, de sorte que les faces planes extérieures 40 et 56 des secondes parties des joints sont nécessairement appliquées à l'étanchéité sur la bande 54 du joint 32 et sur la face interne 66 de la batte 64, respectivement.It will be noted that the grooves 36 and 50 for mounting the seals 30 and 32 are designed to fully support the faces facing inwards of the first and second parts of these seals, so that the planar outer faces 40 and 56 of the second parts of the seals seals are necessarily applied to the seal on the strip 54 of the seal 32 and on the internal face 66 of the bat 64, respectively.

Les joints 30 et 32 des deux ouvrants s'étendent, non seulement sur toute la hauteur du jeu fonctionnel vertical entre les quatrièmes côtés 62 et 68 des deux ouvrants, mais dépassent également les extrémités de ce jeu fonctionnel pour venir s'appliquer, en partie supérieure, sur la face verticale interne d'une feuillure formée dans la traverse horizontale supérieure du châssis dormant et, en partie inférieure, sur la face veticale interne 70 de la paroi externe de la gorge de récupération d'eau, que celle-ci soit formée directement dans la traverse inférieure du châssis dormant ou définie par un profilé en aluminium rapporté sur cette traverse. Comme on le voit par exemple en figure 2, l'extrémité inférieure de la troisième partie 54 du joint 32, qui est appliquée à pression sur la face interne 70 de la paroi externe de la gorge de récupération d'eau par la partie correspondante du joint 30, a pour fonction d'obturer de façon étanche, depuis l'extérieur, la zone d'intersection entre le jeu fonctionnel vertical 72 entre les quatrièmes côtés 62 et 68 des deux ouvrants avec les jeux fonctionnels horizontaux formés entre les côtés horizontaux inférieurs 74 et 76 des ouvrants et la traverse horizontale inférieure 12 du châssis dormant. Pour faciliter la compréhension, cette zone d'intersection entre les jeux fonctionnels a été désignée par la référence 78 en figure 2. Comme cette zone d'intersection 78 débouche directement dans la gorge de récupération d'eau de la traverse inférieure 12, on évite donc l'entrée d'eau par cette voie dans la gorge de récupération.The seals 30 and 32 of the two openings extend, not only over the entire height of the vertical functional clearance between the fourth sides 62 and 68 of the two openings, but also extend beyond the ends of this functional clearance to come to apply, in part upper, on the internal vertical face of a rebate formed in the upper horizontal cross member of the sleeping frame and, in the lower part, on the internal vetical face 70 of the external wall of the water recovery groove, whether this is formed directly in the lower crossmember of the sleeping frame or defined by an aluminum profile attached to this crossmember. As can be seen for example in FIG. 2, the lower end of the third part 54 of the seal 32, which is applied under pressure to the internal face 70 of the external wall of the water recovery groove by the corresponding part of the joint 30, has the function of sealingly sealing, from the outside, the intersection zone between the vertical functional clearance 72 between the fourth sides 62 and 68 of the two openings with the horizontal functional clearances formed between the lower horizontal sides 74 and 76 of the openings and the lower horizontal cross member 12 of the sleeping frame. To facilitate understanding, this intersection zone between the functional clearances has been designated by the reference 78 in FIG. 2. As this intersection zone 78 opens directly into the water recovery groove of the lower cross member 12, it is avoided therefore the entry of water through this channel into the recovery groove.

De préférence, le joint 32 de l'ouvrant secondaire 18 comprend la troisième partie 54 uniquement le long du quatrième côté 62 de l'ouvrant, et est dépourvu de cette troisième partie 54 sur les trois autres côtés de l'ouvrant. Pour cela, le joint 32 comprenant la troisième partie 54 sur toute sa longueur est monté dans la rainure périphérique 50 de l'ouvrant secondaire 18, puis la troisième partie 54 du joint est retirée sur les trois côtés de l'ouvrant, grâce à la zone d'affaiblissement 58, et est conservée uniquement le long du quatrième côté 62, sur toute la hauteur de celui-ci.Preferably, the seal 32 of the secondary opening 18 comprises the third part 54 only along the fourth side 62 of the opening, and is devoid of this third part 54 on the other three sides of the opening. For this, the seal 32 comprising the third part 54 over its entire length is mounted in the peripheral groove 50 of the secondary opening 18, then the third part 54 of the seal is removed on the three sides of the opening, thanks to the weakened zone 58, and is preserved only along the fourth side 62, over the entire height thereof.

A la fermeture des ouvrants, les faces planes 40 et 56 des secondes parties 38 et 52 des joints 30 et 32 sont appliquées à étanchéité sur des faces internes verticales de feuillures formées dans les montants et les traverses du châssis dormant 10,dans le plan de la face extérieure des ouvrants. En partie inférieure, comme on le voit en figure 3 ou en figure 4, la face plate 56 du joint 32 est appliquée à étanchéité sur toute sa longueur sur la face verticale interne 70 de la paroi externe de la gorge de récupération d'eau et s'oppose à l'entrée d'eau dans cette gorge. Il en est de même pour la face plane 40 du joint 30 monté sur l'ouvrant principal 16.When the openings are closed, the flat faces 40 and 56 of the second parts 38 and 52 of the seals 30 and 32 are applied to the seal on the vertical internal faces of rebates formed in the uprights and crosspieces of the sleeping frame 10, in the plane of the outer face of the openings. In the lower part, as can be seen in FIG. 3 or in FIG. 4, the flat face 56 of the seal 32 is applied to sealing over its entire length on the internal vertical face 70 of the external wall of the water recovery groove and opposes the entry of water into this gorge. It is the same for the flat face 40 of the seal 30 mounted on the main opening 16.

On voit en figure 5 que, sur le côté vertical extérieur 80 de l'ouvrant secondaire 18, la face plane 56 du joint 32 vient s'appliquer à étanchéité sur une face verticale plane 82 d'une feuillure du chant interne du montant 14 du châssis dormant 10, cette face plane 82 s'étendant dans le plan de la face externe de l'ouvrant 18 en position de fermeture de l'ouvrant. Il en est de même pour le côté vertical externe de l'ouvrant principal 16 et pour les côtés supérieurs horizontaux des deux ouvrants.It can be seen in FIG. 5 that, on the external vertical side 80 of the secondary opening 18, the flat face 56 of the joint 32 is applied to sealing on a flat vertical face 82 with a rebate of the internal edge of the upright 14 of the sleeping frame 10, this flat face 82 extending in the plane of the external face of the opening 18 in the closed position of the opening. It is the same for the external vertical side of the main opening 16 and for the horizontal upper sides of the two opening.

Il en résulte que, en position de fermeture, les joints 30 et 32 réalisent, sur la face extérieure des ouvrants, une étanchéité continue à l'eau et à l'air tout le long des jeux fonctionnels existants entre les ouvrants et le châssis dormant ainsi que dans les zones d'intersections de ces jeux fonctionnels.It follows that, in the closed position, the seals 30 and 32 provide, on the outer face of the openings, a continuous seal against water and air throughout the functional clearances existing between the openings and the sleeping frame as well as in the intersection areas of these functional games.

Pour compléter cette étanchéité en cas de besoin, un joint d'étanchéité 84 du type à lèvre, dont la forme en section transversale a été représentée à grande échelle en figure 8, est monté sur toute la périphérie interne du châssis dormant, dans une rainure 86 des montants verticaux 14, de la traverse horizontale supérieure, et de la traverse horizontale inférieure 12 lorsque celle-ci est formée avec la gorge 20 de la récupération d'eau (figure 3), le joint 84 pouvant par ailleurs être maintenu sur la traverse inférieure 12 par un rebord interne du profilé 24 formant la gorge de récupération d'eau, comme on le voit en figure 4.To complete this seal if necessary, a seal 84 of the lip type, the shape of which in cross section has been shown on a large scale in FIG. 8, is mounted on the entire internal periphery of the sleeping frame, in a groove 86 of the vertical uprights 14, of the upper horizontal cross-member, and of the lower horizontal cross-member 12 when the latter is formed with the groove 20 of the water recovery (FIG. 3), the seal 84 being able moreover to be maintained on the lower cross member 12 by an internal rim of the profile 24 forming the water recovery groove, as seen in FIG. 4.

Ce joint 84 comprend (figure 8) une première partie 88 de montage et de maintien dans la rainure 86 du châssis dormant, cette première partie 88 étant semblable aux premières parties 34 et 48 des joints 30 et 32, et une seconde partie 90 formant une lèvre d'étanchéité incurvée s'étendant vers l'intérieur de la fenêtre ou porte-fenêtre, lorsque le joint 84 est monté en place sur le châssis dormant. La lèvre 90 du joint 84 est destinée à s'appliquer élastiquement sur une face verticale 92 d'une feuillure formée dans les chants des trois côtés des ouvrants qui sont destinés à coopérer avec les côtés horizontaux et verticaux du châssis dormant 10. L'emplacement du joint 84 est tel qu'il s'étend dans un plan parallèle à celui des joints 30 et 32 en position de fermeture, mais en retrait à l'intérieur par rapport à ces deux joints, de façon à obturer les jeux fonctionnels précités dans leur partie médiane et à former une obturation étanche du côté interne de la gorge de récupération d'eau (figures 3 et 4).This seal 84 comprises (FIG. 8) a first part 88 for mounting and holding in the groove 86 of the standing frame, this first part 88 being similar to the first parts 34 and 48 of the seals 30 and 32, and a second part 90 forming a curved sealing lip extending towards the inside of the window or French window, when the seal 84 is mounted in place on the standing frame. The lip 90 of the seal 84 is intended to be applied elastically to a vertical face 92 of a rebate formed in the edges of the three sides of the opening elements which are intended to cooperate with the horizontal and vertical sides of the sleeping frame 10. The location of the seal 84 is such that it extends in a plane parallel to that of the seals 30 and 32 in the closed position, but recessed inside with respect to these two seals, so as to close off the above-mentioned functional clearances in their middle part and forming a sealed closure on the internal side of the water recovery groove (Figures 3 and 4).

Pour améliorer encore l'étanchéité au niveau du jeu fonctionnel vertical entre les quatrièmes côtés 62 et 68 des deux ouvrants, l'invention prévoit, sur le chant extérieur du quatrième côté 62 de l'ouvrant secondaire 18, de monter également un joint 94 du type à lèvre d'étanchéité dans une rainure 96 parallèle à la rainure 50 de montage du joint 32 et située en retrait vers l'intérieur par rapport à celle-ci de telle sorte que, à la fermeture, la lèvre 96 de ce joint soit appliquée à étanchéité sur une face verticale 98 d'une feuillure du quatrième côté 68 de l'ouvrant principal 16, les extrémités supérieure et inférieure de cette lèvre 96 s'appliquant à étanchéité sur la lèvre 90 du joint 84 monté sur le châssis dormant. Les joints 84 et 94 peuvent être identiques et avoir tous les deux la section transversale représentée en figure 8.To further improve the seal at the level of the vertical functional clearance between the fourth sides 62 and 68 of the two opening elements, the invention provides, on the outer edge of the fourth side 62 of the secondary opening element 18, to also mount a seal 94 of the type of sealing lip in a groove 96 parallel to the groove 50 for mounting the gasket 32 and located inwardly inward relative to the latter so that, upon closing, the lip 96 of this gasket is applied to sealing on a vertical face 98 of a rebate on the fourth side 68 of the main opening 16, the upper and lower ends of this lip 96 applying to sealing on the lip 90 of the seal 84 mounted on the sleeping frame. The joints 84 and 94 may be identical and both have the cross section shown in FIG. 8.

Lorsque la fenêtre ou porte-fenêtre est fermée, les joints 30, 32 et 94 forment un sas d'étanchéité sur toute la hauteur du jeu fonctionnel vertical entre les ouvrants, ainsi qu'à ses intersections avec les jeux fonctionnels horizontaux, et garantissent donc une étanchéité totale à l'eau et à l'air à ce niveau.When the window or French window is closed, the seals 30, 32 and 94 form an airlock over the entire height of the vertical functional clearance between the opening elements, as well as at its intersections with the horizontal functional clearances, and therefore guarantee total water and air tightness at this level.

De façon classique, chacun des deux ouvrants peut comprendre, sur sa face extérieure et sur son côté horizontal inférieur, une traverse 100 ou un profilé formant rejet d'eau, qui vient surplomber la gorge de récupération d'eau et empêche l'eau de ruissellement de s'écouler jusqu'à cette gorge.Conventionally, each of the two openings may comprise, on its outer face and on its lower horizontal side, a cross member 100 or a profile forming a water discharge, which overhangs the water recovery groove and prevents water from runoff to flow to this gorge.

Le dispositif selon l'invention peut équiper n'importe quelle fenêtre ou porte-fenêtre à deux ouvrants, que celle-ci soit réalisée en bois, en aluminium ou tout autre matière. Il assure une étanchéité totale à l'eau et à l'air, même dans des conditions atmosphériques très difficiles.The device according to the invention can be fitted to any window or French window with two openings, whether this is made of wood, aluminum or any other material. It ensures total water and air tightness, even in very difficult atmospheric conditions.
