Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a window frame of the type comprising a plurality of profiled sections joined at corners, each having a respective cross-section including a central portion from which extends at least one glass abutment flange having a free edge portion projecting towards the pane of glass inserted in the window frame.
  • connection of the profiled sections disposed at the corner of a window frame is achieved by means of connecting brackets; more particularly, since the profiled sections generally have a cross-section which includes a central closed, or box, portion, the angled elements of these brackets are fitted into the box central box portions.
  • each profiled section to the respective angled element of the bracket which locking is necessary to avoid their coming apart, is effected with special apparatus which deforms the profiled section structurally; more particularly, this deformation is of plastic type and is generally constituted by a series of incisions in the wall of the profiled section adapted to engage grooves in the surface of the bracket, resulting effectively in a ratchet and pawl structure which locks the bracket element to the respective profiled section.
  • the technical problem at the root of the present invention is that of providing a window frame in which the connection of the profiled sections at a corner has structural and functional characteristics such as to overcome the disadvantages mentioned with reference to the prior art.
  • a window according to the invention is generally indicated 1 and includes a pane of glass 2 inserted therein.
  • the window 1 has a frame 5 which comprises a plurality of profiled sections 8 joined at the corners; these profiled sections 8 each have a cross-section 10 which includes a central, closed, rectangular portion 12 from opposite sides of which extend a pair of flanges 18 and 19.
  • the flange 19 is intended to constitute an abutment element for bearing against a casing for the window, not shown in the drawings, while the first flange 18 is a so- called glass abutment flange.
  • the glass abutment flange 18 has a free edge portion 18a projecting towards the pane of glass 2 and provided with fixing means 20 for holding a sealing strip of conventional type, not shown in the drawings in contact with the pane of glass 2; the fixing means 20 are constituted essentially by an appendage projecting from the edge portion 18a.
  • a plurality of guide means 23 are provided along the flange 18 as well as on the central rectangular portion of the profiled section and, in this example, are constituted by a plurality of projecting ribs adapted to be engaged by corresponding engagement means 24 on a right-angled insert 25 for interconnecting the profiled sections; in this example the engagement means 24 are constituted by grooves formed in the right-angled insert 25.
  • the insert 25 comprises a right-angled body 26 defined by two arms 28, 29 respectively perpendicular to each other, and the grooves constituting the engagement means 24 extend longitudinally in the arms 28 and 29; in the preferred embodiment, moreover, one of the grooves is formed by a step, 30 and 31, respectively projecting from the angled arms 28 and 29.
  • the connecting insert 25 for the profiled sections has a pair of threaded holes 35 and 36, one in each element 28 and 29 respectively; these threaded holes are in fact through- holes passing through the arms 28 and 29 from one side to the other and are intended to be engaged by corresponding threaded pins 40 and 41.
  • the threaded pins 40 and 41, and thus also the respective threaded holes 35 and 36 are oriented longitudinally on respective axial directions of screwing which are parallel to each other and arranged, when the connecting insert 25 is in position juxtaposed with the glass abutment flange 18, to allow the threaded pins to be screwed from that side thereof facing the pane of glass 2; furthermore, the end of each threaded pin when screwed in projects from its hole 35 or 36 in correspondence with the portion 12 of the cross-section of the profiled section 8.
  • the ends of the profiled sections to be connected at the corners are cut at a predetermined angle to enable the profiled sections to be coupled together as well as possible.
  • the engagement means 24 with which the insert 25 is provided enable the insert to be coupled with the respective guide means 23 provided on the glass-holding flanges 18 of the profiled sections so as to position it next to these at their junction; to prevent the arms 28, 29 of the insert 25 from becoming free from the respective profiled sections 8, the threaded pins 40 and 41 are screwed in and, in passing through the threaded holes 35 and 36, act on the central portions 12 of the cross sections of the profiled sections 8.
  • the practicality of the connecting insert 25 is immediately obvious; in fact this is coupled to the profiled sections to be connected in a simple and fairly quick manner by virtue of its positioning in correspondence with the glass abutment flange 18.
  • the tightening of the screws 40 and 41 in their holes 35 and 36 is an operation which does not cause any difficulty during the assembly of the window.
  • the fact that the directions 43 and 44 of screwing of the pins are oriented so that it is possible to carry out this screwing without interference also contributes to this advantage.
  • the insert 25 tends to move along the direction of screwing of the pin itself; since this is parallel to the direction of screwing of the other pin, when this latter is screwed in, the connecting insert 25 is practically already in its final operative position and will not therefore move any further as the second pin is screwed in.
  • This is not the case for example when the directions of screwing, in the plane of the window frame, are perpendicular to the respective profiled sections 8; in this eventuality, in fact, as the pins are screwed in, the insert 25 would move in directions perpendicular to each other which would render its fixing problematical.
  • the connecting insert enables any deformation which may occur in the window frame as a result of use to be corrected.
  • the pins constitute an adjustable anchoring means for the connecting insert 25 and may thus be retightened any time this is necessary both by virtue of the positioning of the insert which means that the pins are readily accessible and also the window frame does not have to be removed entirely to enable any geometric irregularities to be corrected.
  • pins mentioned above are also reversible means for anchoring the insert 25 which may thus be removed and replaced as necessary: previously this had not been possible because of the deformation which the profiled sections had undergone, this deformation being necessary to form a solid fixing to lock the bracket in position and being of plastic type, and thus definitive, so that, once assembled, the window could neither be adjusted nor dismantled without the frame being broken in some way.
  • the profiled sections 8 which make up the window frame may be made without the central portion of their cross-section being of closed or box structure; naturally, this would be allowed only for parity of mechanical characteristics of the profiled section and would result in a saving in materials in the production of the windows.
  • the profiled sections of the window frame have a cross-section with a closed central portion, this could be used as a seat for housing a secondary, stiffening bracket which could possibly be used to improve the connection provided by the insert of the invention; such an eventuality could, for example, be considered in the case of double-glazed windows which generally have frames made with very thick profiled sections.
  • the secondary bracket could be assembled without any working of the profiled sections to achieve for its firm fixing in that it would have only a secondary function relative to the insert of the invention.
  • the window formed in accordance with the teaching thereof is in no way aesthetically different from the connecting insert positioned in correspondence with the glass-abutment flange while, in addition, it is not out of the question that the insert itself, in this position, could be utilised as a support element for wedges which might possibly be used in the window for fixing the pane of glass.
