Definitions

  • the invention comprises an assembly constituted by two rigidly associated section bars, wherein one rectangular-section part, destined to be in an internal environment, provides the basic body of the section and defines a closed chamber on its longer sides, externally of which are protuberances and projections functioning as connectors with other parts, as well as with gaskets or anchoring and manoeuvring accessories of the frame, and a second part, destined to be in an external environment, being a closure and completion element of the exterior form of the assembly.
  • metal frames in particular aluminium frames, comprises numerous series of differently-structured and conformed sections relating to frames of various types and with various functions.
  • the aluminium or like frames are coated in those colours, while the same colours inside the building may not be at all to the taste of the user.
  • Aluminium sections are coloured by means of anodization or by directly painting the bars destined to be cut and mounted in the construction of the frame. It is almost impossible, or at least prohibitively expensive if not technically impossible, to take into serious consideration a solution where the surfaces destined for the outside and the inside of bars are in different colours.
  • section bars manufactured in such a way that there are two parts, a base destined to face the inside, and a second part facing the outside environment.
  • the second part is shaped such as to close and complete the first part, the parts being coupled by an interposition of synthetic wedges preventing them from actually touching each other.
  • the technical problem lies in the need to design a direct connection and coupling system between the parts which is rapid and easy to carry out, and which offers optimum stability and reliability over a long period of time, combined with low cost and simplicity of the extruded parts.
  • the principal aim of the present invention is to obviate the above-mentioned drawbacks by providing a connecting and engaging system which is rigid and stable, even when subjected to considerable accidental impacts over a long period of time, for two-part sections, one of which parts will face the outside environment and the other of which will face the inside.
  • the invention solves the above-defined problem by providing an assembly constituted by two rigidly associated section parts wherein a second part is connected to a first part by means for coupling comprising, on the said second part, two longitudinal wings of L-shaped cross-section projecting from a same side of said second part but being opposite in direction and of different eights; the shorter wing having a cross-section terminating in a hook turned back towards a surface of the side of the second part, the taller wing the cross- section of which after an initial right-angled bend directed towards the shorter wing, turns back in a squared C-shaped tract in an opposite direction to the initial bend, terminates in a semicircular projection facing away from the side of the second part; and longitudinal direction on a smaller side of the first part, a first seat facing parallel to said smaller side of the first part and terminating in a hook projection turned back towards said smaller side, and a second seat facing in a same direction as the first seat, being located at an opposite end of the smaller side
  • 1 denotes a section-bar assembly for realizing frames, constituted by two rigidly-associated parts.
  • 10 denotes a first part of the assembly, destined for internal environments, constituting the base 11 of the bar.
  • the first part 10 has a rectangular section and internally defines a closed chamber 12.
  • Engagement projections 13 and protruberances 14 are located on the longer external sides of the closed chamber 12, which grip and hook other parts or gaskets or other anchoring or manoeuvring accessories of the frame.
  • 20 denotes a second part of the assembly, destined for external environments, being also a closure and completion element for the exterior section of the section bar assembly.
  • connection means of part 20 are constituted by two wings 21 and 22, which project longitudinally from a same side 30 of the part 20.
  • the wings 21 and 22 are both L-shaped in section, but are of different heights and face in opposite directions.
  • Wing 21 is shorter in height than wing 22, and terminates in a hook projection 23 facing towards the surface of the side 30.
  • Wing 22 has a C-shaped tract 24 that turns back on itself, and terminates in a semicircular projection turning back in an opposite direction to the side 30.
  • a first seat 15 faces parallel to athe smaller side of part 10, and is made in proximity of an end of the smaller side 40, finishing in a hook 17 turned towards the smaller side 40.
  • the second seat 16 faces in a same direction as the first seat 15 and is realised at the opposite end of the same smaller side 40.
  • the figure shows how the second seat 16 engages the tract 24 of the taller wing 22, with the semicircular projection 25 pressure-contacting against the surface of the smaller side 40, by partial rotation of the second part 20.
  • the difference in height between wings 21 and 22 leads to a creation of a longitudinal throat 50 between the shorter wing 21 and the surface of the smaller side 40.
  • 60 denotes a longitudinal insert which is then press-fitted in the longitudinal throat 50 to determine a rigid fixture of the shorter wing 21 in the first seat 15 and the taller wing 22 in the second seat 16 by counterpressure of the two parts of the assembly on the surfaces of the longitudinal throat 50.
  • the longitudinal insert 60 has a cuneiform section and the respective two surfaces 61 and 62, which exert an opposite action on the opposite surfaces of the longitudinal throat 50, have a sawtoothed conformation to aid friction against the insert 60.
  • both the second part 20 and the first part 10 are provided at their sides 30 and smaller side 70 opposite to the smaller side 40, at one or both of their respective ends, with flat wings 80 for achieving various shaped parts, conventionally called T-shapes, double T-shapes or Z shapes, or suchlike, which constitute a complete and articulated series of shaped parts for making frames of various kinds.
  • section bar assembly 1 consists in its capacity to resist any external action applied on it, thus guaranteeing absolutely stable association between the two parts 10 and 20. If the insert 60 should accidentally fall out, the detachment between part 20 and part 10 is obtainable only by following at least two different and contrasting partial rotation manoeuvres, which is highly unlikely in practice.
