Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a lead-through structure for a wall, according to the preamble of claim 1.
  • Such lead-through structures are known especially in integrated window and door structures, where two part frame like edge structures manufactured from metal or plastic are pushed against each other during installation at an opening made in said wall, and frame parts located on opposite sides of said wall 1 becoming interlocked by respective locking elements, to form a lead-through structure, at least to one of said frames often being associated with an integral window or the like structure to be mounted in said wall.
  • each locking tongue comprising at least one locking claw extending essentially in the direction of the corresponding edging of said frame, said claw extending from the side surface of said tongue and generally in the direction of the plane of said wall, and by each counteracting slot or notch comprising a counter shoulder co-operating with said locking claw, said counter shoulder also extending in the direction of said corresponding edging of said frame.
  • Fig 1 there is shown two frame like parts 1 and 10, one of which, usually the one which will be located on the outer side of said wall, functionally is a female frame part 1 comprising a flange 2 generally extending around said opening in said wall, and an edging 3 extending therefrom in an essentially perpendicular direction with respect to said flange and protruding into said opening and generally following the sides of said opening.
  • said edging 3 comprises a preferably essentially even wall portion or edge skirt 4.
  • said edging 3 comprises at the side directed towards said wall a beam like structure 5 located at the edge extending away form said flange 2 of said wall portion 4.
  • the functional male frame part 10 which usually will remain at the inner side of said wall, comprises a flange 12 to be supported against the surface of said wall, while a set of sheet-like flat oblong sequentially spaced locking tongues 11, 11A extend perpendicularly from said flange 12, one of said locking tongues 11 being shown in section and another one 11A being shown in a cut away position.
  • said beam like structure 5 comprises multiple oblong sequentially arranged openings or counter slots 6 or notches extending through said beam structure 5 towards said flange 2, said counter slots 6 being adapted for receiving respective ones of said locking tongues 11, 11A.
  • said counter slots 6 are suitably separated by intermediate wall portions stiffening said beam 5, and the firmness of said beam 5 is preferably enhanced by diagonal members 9 extending from that edge of said beam 5, which edge is facing away from said opening and towards said wall portion 4.
  • each counter slot 6 now comprises, at its one long side, a counter shoulder 7 co-operating with a locking claw 17 on said locking tongue 11, 11A, said counter shoulder 7 suitably being formed directly in the surface of said wall portion 4 of said edging 3, on the opposite side thereof, with respect to said opening, whereby said counter shoulder accordingly will be facing the unbroken structure of said wall.
  • said shoulder 7 will be located essentially on the direct extension of the locking forces acting on said edging 3, with respect to said flange 2, which clearly will improve the strength of said structure, as hereafter will be more closely described.
  • each locking tongue 11, 11A at said male frame part 10 comprises at least one locking claw 17 extending at said long side of the respective locking tongue 11, 11A generally in the longitudinal direction of said locking tongue, i.e. in the direction of the frame edge associated with said tongue.
  • Preferably several locking claws 17 are arranged one above the other so that a corresponding counter shoulder 7 meets each one of successive locking claws 17 when said locking tongue during the installation is pushed into the counter slot.
  • the section of said locking tongues will be generally saw-tooth shaped, as will be more closely evident from the section shown in Figure 2.
  • a corresponding claw plane 18 arranged transversely with respect to the locking direction of each locking claw 17 will co-operate with a claw plane arranged transversely with respect to the locking direction of said counter shoulder 7 in said counter slot 6 so that said locking tongue 11 with at least one of its locking claws 17 may be interlocked behind said claw plane of said counter shoulder 7.
  • counter shoulders 7 are also arranged successively in a corresponding manner, whereby several successive locking claws 17 in an ideal situation correspondingly will grip behind successive counter shoulders 7, whereby the locking will be very tenable.
  • said frame parts 1, 10 will be placed close to said opening made in said wall structure, one on each side thereof, so that said female frame part 1 will be located close to the edges of said opening, preferably at the outer side of said wall structure, and said edging 3 of said frame part will extend into said opening and the inner side 4 of said edging forms an edge skirt which covers the structure of said opening. Said flange 2 will then be located against the surface of said wall structure.
  • Said opening in said wall structure should be so large that said beam like edge portion 5 also will remain within said opening, whereby, in practice, a set or row of counter slots will be formed at said opening in said wall structure, said slots thus extending in the vicinity of the edges of said opening essentially in the direction of said edges between said wall surface 4 and said wall structure.
  • Said second male frame part 10 will now be positioned at said opening from the opposite direction whereby said locking tongues 11, 11A will be aligned into corresponding counter slots 6. Under the force of an evenly pushing movement said locking tongues 11, 11A will enter into said counter slots 6 so that said locking claw or claws 17 and their claw planes 18 will be disposed behind said counter shoulder 7 in a corresponding slot 6 of said female frame part 1, and said frame parts 1 and 10 will be interlocked.
  • each locking tongue 11, 11A and/or counter slot 6 preferably comprises several successive locking claws 17 and/or counter shoulders 7, respectively, whereby any possible divergences in the thickness of said wall will cause no harm nor render the installation work more difficult.
  • each frame part 1, 10 will be pushed hard against said wall, whereby each frame part preferably comprises edge lips 19, 19A or the like, which seal, on one hand, against said wall and on the other hand against for example a window or the like to be installed. Since said edge lips 19, 19A are slightly resilient a certain fitting clearance will be achieved simply with this arrangement, with respect to the thickness of said wall. If said locking tongues 11 and/or counter recesses 6 comprise several successive locking claws 17 and/or counter slots 6, correspondingly, seen in the installation pushing direction, one and the same frame arrangement may be adapted for wall structures, the thickness of which may diverge even considerably from the nominal.
  • each flank surface 20 of said locking claws 17 of each locking tongue 11, 11A to be pushed during installation against the other frame part, and/or correspondingly the flank surface of said counter shoulder 7 co-operating therewith is inclined, preferably so that each locking tongue 11, 11A and/or counter shoulder 7 has a saw tooth formed section, seen in a direction perpendicular the direction of the edge of said frame, as will be more closely evident from the embodiment shown in the drawing.
  • each locking claw 17 is located at that side of said locking tongue 11, 11A which is facing the center of said opening, whereby said counter shoulder, facing away from the center of said opening, correspondingly will be located at that side of said counter slot 6, which side is facing the center of said opening.
  • Said locking tongue 11, 11A itself suitably has a generally flat shape, but according to one preferable embodiment of the invention the section of said tongue 11, 11A seen in a direction transverse to the direction of said edge is, at least to some parts, slightly wedged so that the thickness of said locking tongue 11, 11A at the front end portion 21 is smaller and, correspondingly, its root portion 22 adjoining said flange 12 of said frame part 10 is thicker.
  • said tongue 11, 11A entering into said counter slot 6 will be wedged with its locking claw 17 against said counter shoulder 7 of said counter slot 6.
  • said tongue will be wedged against the wall 8 of said beam like structure 5 defined by said counter slot 6, or against a special exaction surface arranged there.
  • Said wall 8 or exaction surface is suitably slightly resilient in the direction of the plane of said frame, the interlocking thus being especially firm.
  • said locking tongue 11, 11A itself may be arranged to be slightly resilient, so that said wall 8 will force said front end 21 of said locking tongue 11, 11A against the opposite wall 4 and against the counter shoulder located there.
  • the wedge-like form is suitably provided by making said tongue front end portion 21 entering said counter slot 6 narrower, in a section transverse to said edging 3, than said root portion 22 of said tongue 11, said wedge like portion the co-operating with said walls 4 and 8 of said counter recess 6.
  • the wedge-like form of said locking tongue 11, 11A is preferably provided by wedged ribs 23 suitably located at spaced dispositions on each tongue back surface facing away from said locking claws 17, said ribs 23 preferably being located at least at both edges of each tongue 11, 11A.
  • locking claws are located especially at that side of each locking tongue 11, 11A, which is facing the center of said opening.
  • the invention also covers embodiments having locking claws 17 arranged on the opposite side of each locking tongue 11, 11A, either together with said first mentioned locking claws, or instead of these.
  • locking claws 17 are arranged in such a manner that successive locking tongues 11, 11A have claw arrangements which differ from each other.
  • the counter shoulders 7 of each counter slot 6 are arranged at side walls 4, 8 corresponding to the location of the respective locking claws 17.
  • a flange structure surrounding an opening which structure suitably is connected with for example a window glazing or the like structure, differing from the normal structure of the wall.
  • the window glazing is then attached e.g. by gluing or double sided tape to said female outer frame part, at which corresponding sealing shoulders 25, 25A or rebates suitably are arranged.
  • gluing or double sided tape to said female outer frame part, at which corresponding sealing shoulders 25, 25A or rebates suitably are arranged.
  • the inventive frame structure is preferably arranged in such a manner that the locations of said locking tongues 11 cannot be seen on the outer surface of said flange.
  • a preferable embodiment of said structure which is preferably manufactured of plastic, is so arranged that at said flange 12 the surface facing away from the wall comprises a groove or the like formation 24, along which said locking tongues 11 are located inside said flange 12.
