Definitions

  • the present invention relates to an opening which can be operated by sliding inside a fixed or sleeping frame of a window, door or the like, mounted and immobilized in a wall or a similar support structure, said opening comprising two leaves, respectively a movable leaf and a fixed or semi-fixed leaf, arranged in the same plane in the extension of one another in the closed position of the window, and brought to juxtapose plane on plane, parallel to one the other in the open position.
  • the invention relates to a mechanism which ensures. simultaneously with the sliding of the movable leaf in the frame to pass from the open position to the closed position of the window or vice versa. a displacement of this leaf perpendicular to its plane. to place it behind or in front of the fixed or semi-fixed leaf, also mounted inside this same frame.
  • a sliding leaf of this type but improved so that in the closed position of the window, the two leaves are substantially in the same plane.
  • the mobile leaf is brought, when the window opens, behind or in front of the semi-fixed leaf as a result of tilting in its plane, ensuring an offset of the mobile leaf with respect to the leaf semi-fixed at the end of this last, this tilting being effected around inclined bearing surfaces provided on the frame, before the movable leaf is gradually extracted from its housing inside the latter to finally be placed in front of or behind the other leaf.
  • the present invention relates to a sliding leaf which allows, by a single lateral traction maneuver, to ensure the automatic disengagement of the movable leaf, following the usual gesture of opening a conventional leaf, so as to increase the performance of the opening, in particular with respect to water and air tightness and insulation between the interior and exterior of the window, by further improving the aesthetics of the latter.
  • the sliding leaf considered comprising a movable leaf and a fixed or semi-fixed leaf of the same dimensions, housed in a fixed or standing frame, comprising two parallel rails extending over the entire length of the frame, which corresponds at the sum of the widths of the two leaves, so that these, when they are arranged side by side in one of the two rails, are located in the same plane while completely closing the frame, is characterized in that the two rails communicate, substantially in their median region along the length of the chassis, using a crossing switch for a cam roller, provided with a stud engaged in a receiving housing provided at the base of the movable leaf, the two rails each comprising, in line with the switch, two internal wedges in the form of parallel bars in relief, and an intermediate guide, of height greater than that of the bars, the roller having two superimposed stages each provided with a profiled ramp, adapted respectively to cooperate with the internal bars on the one hand, with the intermediate guide on the other hand, in order to make slide and pivot the cam roller from one rail to
  • the cam roller has a slot in its lower stage, in which is housed a support wheel on the bottom of the rails, this wheel being movable in rotation on a horizontal axis mounted transversely inside the slot. .
  • the intermediate guide has, in line with the crossing switch, an inclined bearing, suitable for cooperating with a bearing surface formed in the upper stage of the roller.
  • the lower stage of the cam roller has a rounded edge, with a large radius of curvature, capable of cooperating during the passage through the switch with the ends of the bars mounted in the rails.
  • the lateral end of the rail which receives the movable leaf in the closed position of the window comprises, opposite the crossing switch, an abutment plate having an inclined face cooperating with a second roller , comprising a single stage, corresponding to the second stage of the first cam roller and also having a rounded edge with a large radius of curvature, cooperating with the inclined face of the plate.
  • the two rollers comprise, opposite their rounded edges, a straight part for guiding these rollers in the rails.
  • the reference 1 designates quite generally, the frame or fixed frame of a window, door or the like, this frame being immobilized in itself known in the art using usual means which matter little to the present invention, inside a wall 2 or a similar support structure.
  • the opening 3 of the window consisting of two leaves 4 and 5 respectively, the leaf 4 being movable in the frame, while the leaf 5, fixed or semi-fixed, is immobilized inside of it, for example in the position illustrated in the Figures.
  • the movable frame 4 is arranged coplanarly and in the extension of the semi-fixed leaf 5 in the closed position of the window, as shown in FIG. 2, the movable frame being shown diagrammatically in dashed lines.
  • the movable leaf 4 in the open position, is first of all subjected to a displacement perpendicular to its plane inside the chassis 1, before it is moved parallel to itself in order to be disposed behind the semi-fixed leaf 5, the mobile leaf 4 being this time shown in FIGS. 1 and 2 in solid lines in this position.
  • the semi-fixed leaf 5 in the previous position, can if necessary be unlocked with respect to the chassis and possibly be moved therein to come and occupy the initial place of the mobile leaf if necessary.
  • the invention makes it possible, by exerting on the movable leaf 4 the ordinary effort of lateral displacement of the latter inside its chassis, firstly its depth offset obtained automatically then its transverse movement for pass from the open position to the closed position, or vice versa with in this case, first a transverse movement, then at the end of the movement a movement perpendicular to itself, bringing it back in the plane of the semi-fixed leaf .
  • the lower part of the chassis 1 is arranged so as to comprise two parallel guide rails, extending along the longitudinal dimension of the two leaves, these rails respectively designated in Figures 3 and 4 under references 6 and 7, extending over the entire length of the chassis.
  • the bars 8, 9 on the one hand, 10 and 11 on the other hand are respectively separated inside the rails in which they are arranged by a spacing space 13 on the one hand, 14 on the other hand, whose transverse dimension is slightly greater than that of a roller 15 mounted freely in rotation about an axis 16, itself supported by a part 17, called cam roller, of which Figures 3 to 6 illustrate more particularly the structure .
  • This cam roller 17 is composed in particular of two superimposed stages 18 and 19 respectively, the stage 18 extending transversely, being situated substantially at the height of the bars 8 and 9 or 10 and 11 depending on whether the roller is in one or the other of the two rails 6 or 7, as shown in particular in the sectional view of FIG. 6, this stage 18 being also slightly raised relative to the bottom of the chassis 1 on which the caster 15 moves.
  • the first stage 18 has externally a rounded edge 20 with a large radius of curvature, the profile of which is provided to allow, by cooperation with inclined bearing surfaces 21 in the form of a chamfer, formed at the ends substantially opposite the bars 8 and 9 on the one hand, 10 and 11 on the other hand, a progressive pivoting of the cam roller 17 when the latter passes through a communication switch 22.
  • the bearing surfaces 21 form with the direction of the rails an angle of approximately 45 °.
  • the switch 22 is provided substantially in the middle part of the chassis and is in the form of a sort of connecting corridor between the two rails 6 and 7, with a width approximately equal to that of these rails and an orientation at an angle. , with an angle on the longitudinal direction of the chassis 1 equal to that of the bearing surfaces 21.
  • the first stage 18 of the cam roller 17 has two inclined faces 23 and 24 respectively and, opposite this edge 20, a straight portion 25 whose slope is identical to that of the bearing surfaces 21 provided at the ends of the bars, when the cam roller is in the position illustrated in FIG. 3.
  • the switch 22 corresponds to an opening for the passage of the cam roller 17 from one rail to the other, so as to allow the movable leaf 4 to move perpendicular to its own plane when the opening is opened. , before it moves behind the semi-fixed leaf 5 in the manner explained below, the crossing of this switch by the roller 17 taking place in particular thanks to the relative cooperation.
  • the rounded edge 20 successively with the inclined end bearing surfaces 21 facing the bars 8 and 9 of the rail 6, on the other hand of the straight part 25 with the same inclined bearing surfaces 21 but of the bars 10 and 11 of the other rail 7.
  • the stage 19 of the cam roller 17, extending above the stage 18 and therefore above the upper level of the bars 8, 9 on the one hand, 10, 11 on the other hand, is provided to cooperate in turn with an intermediate guide 26, mounted in the chassis 1 so as to separate the rails 6 and 7. substantially in the middle of the width of the latter.
  • the guide 26 extends over practically the entire length of the chassis 1, except in its central region to the right of the switch 22 and also at the end of the chassis located on the left in the drawings in the example shown.
  • the height of this guide 26 is greater than that of the bars 8 to 11, as illustrated more particularly in FIG. 7.
  • the cam roller 17 comprises a stud 27 suitable for engaging in a fitting 28 provided at the lower part of the movable leaf 4 (see FIG. 6), the mounting of this stud thus allowing the free movement of the roller cam relative to the leaf, in particular when crossing the switch 22, the roller according to the profile of this switch passing from the rail 6 to the rail 7 or vice versa, while the movable leaf remains permanently parallel to itself .
  • the movable leaf comprises at its upper end a similar guide means (not shown), moving in a guide or rail of the same profile provided at the upper part of the fixed frame.
  • the equipment of the chassis 1 and of the movable leaf 4 is completed by having at the end of the rail 6 located on the left in FIG. 3 in particular, a triangular shaped plate 29, immobilized against the bottom of the rail by screws 30, this plate having an inclined face 31 extending inside the adjacent rail 7, beyond the end 32 of the intermediate guide 26.
  • the movable leaf is moreover provided, with an assembly identical to that described in relation to the cam roller 17 with a second roller 33 which essentially differs from the first in that it does not include any part similar to that which forms in the cam roller 17 the stage 18, this roller 33 taking up only the profile of the second stage 19 with a rounded edge 34, an inclined face 35 and a straight part 36 opposite the rounded edge 34.
  • this roller passes over the bars 8, 9 on the one hand, 10, 11 d 'other hand, unlike the cam roller 17 which, as already specified, cooperates with the sides of these bars by being guided by them in the movement of movement of the movable leaf.
  • the cam roller 17, by its first stage 18 has its rounded edge 20 in contact with the chamfer 21 of the bar 9, while its straight part 25 is also in contact with the parallel chamfer of the bar 11.
  • the second roller 33 At the opposite end of the leaf, the second roller 33 likewise has its rounded edge 34 in contact with the inclined part 31 of the plate 29.
  • the cam roller 17 engages in the switch 22, the rounded edge 20 of its first stage 18 sliding on the chamfer 21 of the bar 9 then, at beyond, on that of the bar 8 in the rail 6, the latter chamfer being preferably itself rounded in its terminal portion 37 of so as to facilitate the pivoting of the cam roller 17 which is thus introduced into the rail 6.
  • the second stage 19 follows the profile of the intermediate guide 26 passing over the bars, the conjunction of the effects of the two stages of the roller-cam thus allowing the pivoting and the continuous guidance of the roller.
  • the second roller 33 slides along the inclined face 31 of the plate 29 until its right part 36 has also crossed the end 32 of the same intermediate guide 26 in the opposite part, to the left of the frame. In this movement and because of the greater height of the roller 33 above the bottom of the rails, it passes over the bars 8, 9, 10 and 11, without risk of being blocked by the latter.
  • rollers 17 and 33 are then located in the position illustrated in Figure 4, the movable leaf 4 which they support having moved by the rollers 15 of its rollers rolling on the bottom of the chassis, this time being located behind the semi-fixed leaf 5.
  • the movement of the mobile leaf then continues in the rail 6, to the fully open position, the caster 15 of the second roller engaging in the end of travel in the space 13 between the bars 8 and 9.
  • the opening under consideration conventionally comprises means of the type of seals making it possible to seal the window in the closed position, these seals being carried by the movable leaf and the semi-fixed leaf. , by coming to bear on a peripheral beat of the chassis in itself usual manner, without interfering with the opening or closing movement of the window.
  • the two leaves of the latter can advantageously be equipped with an appropriate locking mechanism.
  • they have at their upper part, inside the fixed frame 1, rollers or pads, symmetrical to those carried by these leaves at their lower part but without guide rollers.
  • the embodiment envisaged provides for a displacement of the movable leaf for the opening of the window, from left to right in the drawings.
  • a displacement of the movable leaf for the opening of the window from left to right in the drawings.
  • the crossing switch being then itself oriented symmetrically with respect to that provided in the example above.
  • rollers 17 and 33 to move on the bottom of the rails 6 and 7 by means of a single roller 15, free to rotate around the axis 16 carried by each of these rollers.
  • the load constituted by the movable leaf is greater, in particular because of the dimensions of this opening, it is advantageous to double the caster by means of two neighboring elements arranged on the same axis and driven simultaneously in rotation with the movement of the opening.
  • the two rollers thus supported by each roller can be placed side by side in the same recess of the roller, or if necessary be placed in two neighboring recesses.
  • this semi-fixed leaf is also provided with rollers shown schematically in Figures 3 and 4, the latter being advantageously carried by rollers similar to that designated under the reference 33 for the movable leaf 4, that is to say whose height is determined so that these rollers pass over the bars 8 to 11, without risk of blockage by the latter.
