Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a device for connecting pane retainers to profiled elements.
  • IT-B-1 230 805 in the name of the same Applicant describes a profiled means for connecting pane retainers to a profiled element which although it functionally performs the task assigned thereto, has various structural problems.
  • the known means has a pane retainer profile provided with an element which can be coupled to a plate, a terminal portion for insertion into a recess defined in a supporting profiled element and an intermediate insertion portion provided with a tooth which engages an abutment on the supporting profiled element.
  • a weather strip is furthermore fitted on the pane retainer profile; said strip is locked on said element by means of a pair of teeth which engage against a guide or groove which extends parallel to the plate.
  • the greatest problem is related to the system for coupling the pane retainer profile to the supporting profiled element.
  • the plate whether of the glass-box type or not, it is in practice extremely difficult to disassemble the pane retainer profile from the supporting profiled element.
  • a device for connecting pane retainers to profiled elements includes a pane retainer profile which has an end wing provided with an accommodation seat for a weather strip adapted to press on a plate to be accommodated.
  • the retainer profile includes a terminal insertion portion which can be coupled to a profiled element defining a plate supporting frame. The coupling is achieved by means of a tooth provided on the terminal insertion portion, the tooth being insertable in a recess of the plate supporting frame.
  • An analogous device is also known from DE-A-31 27 631.
  • the aim of the present invention is to eliminate or substantially reduce the problems described above in known types of door- or window-frames by providing a device for coupling pane retainers to profiled elements which eliminates the problems of assembly and disassembly of the plate to and from the door- or window-frame.
  • an object of the present invention is to provide a device which allows better insertion and better positioning of the plate within the door- or window-frame.
  • Not least object of the present invention is to provide a connecting device which is relatively easy to manufacture and at competitive costs.
  • a device for connecting pane retainers to profiled elements comprises a pane retainer profile 1 which has, in a single body and in transverse cross-section, a terminal wing 2 which can be coupled to a plate 3, constituted by a double glazing, a glass-box, an opaque panel or any other type of plate.
  • the wing 2 is provided with an accommodation seat 4 for a weather strip 5 which presses, as more clearly shown in figure 2, on the plate 3 and can be extracted, as more clearly illustrated in figure 6, in a direction which is substantially parallel to the plate 3.
  • the pane retainer profile 1 is furthermore provided with a terminal insertion portion 6 which can be inserted in a first recess 7 provided on a profiled element 8 which defines a supporting frame of the plate 3.
  • the portion 6 has a tooth 9 for engaging in a hollow 10 defined within the first recess 7 and a ridge 22 which rests on the profiled element 8.
  • the device possibly comprises one or more pressers 11 which are provided with means for coupling to the profiled element 8 and elastically deformable means which lock against a surface 12 of the pane retainer profile 1 which is parallel to the plate 3, in order to keep the pane retainer profile in position when the pane is not inserted.
  • the means for locking each presser 11 comprise a pair of portions 13 which protrude from each presser 11 and have an end provided with teeth 14 which engage, in a snap-together manner, within complementary recesses 15 defined on the profiled element 8.
  • the elastically deformable means comprise a terminal portion 16 which is substantially V-shaped, selectively upright or inverted, and rests against the surface 12 of the pane retainer profile 1 with a thicker portion 17.
  • the presser 11 is an element which has a set length which is much shorter than the profile 1.
  • the presser is currently inserted and also acts as pane shim.
  • the present invention advantageously uses the shims 11 both to shim the plate and to allow assembly and disassembly of the profile 1 when the plate is not inserted.
  • the wing 2, the terminal portion 6 and the accommodation seat 4 extend along mutually substantially parallel directions.
  • the accommodation seat 4 is provided with a groove, designated by the same reference numeral 4, whose opening is parallel to the plate 3 and is directed on the opposite side with respect to the shim 11.
  • the groove 4 has, on a wall which is adjacent to the plate 3, an expansion 18 on which the weather strip 5 engages.
  • Said strip has a hollow 19 within which the expansion 18 enters, a cylindrical portion 20 and a contact surface 21 which rests directly on the plate 3.
  • the complementary configuration of the groove 4 and of the weather strip 5 allows to extract the weather strip 5 from said groove in order to create a bending space for the profile 1, as will become apparent hereinafter.
  • the profiled element 8 comprises the first recess 7 and a second recess 23 which is defined on the profiled element 8 on the side opposite to the alignment portions 13.
  • the recesses 7 and 23 accommodate strip 24, 25 and 26 which provide, in cooperation with another profiled element 8, selectively movable and fixed contact surfaces of opening door- or window-frames, as more clearly illustrated in figures 2, 5 and 6.
  • the fixed contact strip 24 has a circular portion which is compressed, as shown in figure 2, by the action of one profiled element 8 on another identical profiled element.
  • the profiled element 8 is in fact provided with portions which are substantially symmetrical with respect to a plane which lies on the axis of the profiled element 8, and can be used both to constitute the frame of a sash and to provide the walled-in casing or the frame for separating different sashes or sashes of different sizes.
  • the profiled element 8 finally has a wing 27 which is parallel to the plate and is provided with a channel 28 in which a possibly yielding weather strip 29 is inserted, together with the weather strip 5, in order to facilitate the assembly of the profiled element 1. It should be noted that only one of the two strips 5 and 29 may be elastically yielding.
  • Insertion of the profile 1 is performed as shown in figure 5, i.e. by applying pressure on said profile along a direction which is substantially perpendicular to said plate 3.
  • the invention achieves the intended aim and objects, advantageously improving and simplifying the removal of plates, made of both transparent and opaque material, from door- or window-frames of any kind, and using a profiled element which defines both the frame of the casing and the sash separation frame.
  • the materials employed, as well as the dimensions, may be any according to the requirements.
