Definitions

  • the invention relates to a security system for preventing undesirable opening of a window or a door or the like element being mounted in a frame and being movable between an open position and a closed position, said system comprising two strips each having a cross-sectional configuration constituted of a curved material of substantially equal thickness, each strip having a number of holes for receiving fastening members to secure the first strip to the frame in which said element is mounted, and to secure the second strip to the element, the strips having respective cross-sectional configurations so as to interlock in said closed position whereby the part of each of the strips in which the holes are provided is covered so that the fastening members are not accessible, and whereby the strips have respective shapes so as to allow access to the holes for applying the fastening members in the open position of the element.
  • the word frame will be used to indicate a door casing or window casing and any other device in which a door or window is hinged or can move otherwise.
  • the word element comprises a door, window or any other element which is mounted in a frame and which can be opened.
  • Such security system to be used for a door or window which opens to the inside of a building, is disclosed in WO-A-89/04907 and shown in figure 5 of that publication.
  • the holes in the first strip of that system can be accessed through additional holes in the same strip.
  • a security system of this kind is to prevent that a door or window is lifted out of the frame by means of a crowbar or other tool in such a manner that the door or the window can be opened.
  • the window or similar element In the closed condition of the door, the window or similar element it is necessary for the strips to interlock in such a manner that movement of the element with respect to the frame is prevented in at least one direction. This makes it impossible for the element to be lifted from its fastening, as a result of which it might be opened.
  • the object of the invention is to provide a security system, whereby said strips are designed such that the security system is easy to install, functions optimally and has an attractive outward appearance.
  • each strip has a uniform cross-sectional configuration such that substantially no portion of the cross-section impinges on the axis of any of the holes, whereby in use when the element is in the open position all holes are freely accessible for fitting of respective fastening members.
  • the security system according to the invention can be fitted in a simple manner, also by the do-it-yourselfer, by means of ordinary screws, because the screws cannot be removed with the element in its closed position.
  • Ordinary tools may be used for fitting the strips, because in the open position of the element the screws for fixing the strips are readily accessible. Because access to the screws is not possible in the closed conditions of the element, unauthorized persons are prevented from attempting to remove the screws. Also with screws that cannot be removed the fact that the screws are visible induces people to attempt to remove the screws after all. Moreover, the fact that the screws are not visible has a positive aesthetic effect.
  • At least one of said strips may have an edge portion, in which said holes are provided, said edge portion in the closed condition of the element being located between said element and said frame.
  • the screws fitted are thereby not covered by said other strip, but by the element and/or the frame.
  • the strips have respective cross-sectional configurations so as to interlock in said closed position are such that the part of a strip in which the holes are provided is covered by parts of the other strip.
  • At least one of said strips may furthermore consist of a U-section having unequal legs, the difference in length of the legs being more than the diameter of the said holes, whereby said holes are provided in the longer leg of said section.
  • the section may be screwed on the frame or the element with its longer leg, whereby access to the screws is readily possible.
  • said second strip has substantially a L-shaped cross-sectional configuration with said holes in the short leg, and whereby the long leg extends at a right angle or a slightly smaller angle with respect to the short leg.
  • the strips When the security system is provided with an element opening to the outside, the strips may be provided in such a manner that they are completely located beyond the circumference of the element, whereby one strip or both strips may be fixed in the space between said element and said frame.
  • the invention furthermore relates to a method for preventing undesirable opening of a window or a door or the like element being mounted in a frame and being movable between an open position and a closed position, whereby a first strip is secured to the frame in which said element is mounted and a second strip is secured to the element, both by fastening members, which are applied through a number of holes in each strip ,the two strips having each a cross-sectional configuration constituted of a curved material of substantially equal thickness, the strips having respective cross-sectional configurations so as to interlock in said closed position whereby the part of each of the strips in which the holes are provided is covered so that the fastening members are not accessible, and whereby the strips have respective shapes so as to allow access to the holes for applying the fastening members in the open position of the element, whereby each strip has a uniform cross-sectional configuration such that substantially no portion of the cross-section impinges on the axis of any of the holes, whereby in use when the element is in the open position all holes are freely
  • Figure 1 shows a frame 1 (casing) and a hinged element 2, for example a window.
  • Arrow 3 indicates that the element 2 is hinged at the end not shown, so that the element 2 can turned out of the frame.
  • the element is shown in its closed condition in Figure 1.
  • frame 1 is provided with a strip 4 in the form of a metal section, which strip 4 is secured in the frame by means of screws 5.
  • the cross section of strip 4 has a substantially U-shaped configuration with two unequal legs, whereby the screws 5 extend through holes into the long leg of said U-section.
  • Window 2 is provided with a strip 6 in the shape of a metal L-shaped section. Strip 6 is secured to the window 2 by means of screws 7, whereby said screws 7 are fitted through holes in the short leg of the L-section 6.
  • Figures 2, 3 and 4 show embodiments of a window opening to the inside, whereby other sections according to the invention are used. In all cases it applies thereby that in the closed position of the window 2 the screws are not accessible or even visible.
  • the object of the strips provided is to prevent that a crowbar or other tool is placed between the frame 1 and the window 2 in a simple manner in order to open said window, whereby it is in particular prevented that the window 2 is moved outside the frame in its plane (a movement of the window 2 to the right in the Figures), so that the fastening of the window would be rendered inoperative.
  • a window 2 which opens to the outside, is secured by the strips 4 and 6.
  • the strips are fitted to the outside of the frame/window assembly.
  • strip 6 which is secured on window 2 with screws, consists of a metal U-shaped section, whose legs have unequal lengths. The long leg of the section is fastened to the end face of the window 2, and that in such a manner that access to the screw is not possible in the closed position of the window 2.
  • strip 4 are shown in Figures 5, 6 and 7, whereby according to the embodiments of Figures 5 and 6 the fastening screw 5, with which the strip 4 is secured, is located between the frame 1 and the window 2 in such a manner, that the screw is not accessible in the closed condition of the window.
  • the screw 5 is covered by strip 6 in the closed condition of window 2.
  • Figure 8 shows an embodiment for securing a sliding door.
  • the metal strips 4, 6 are thereby configured such that they can be moved into an interlocking position, whereby the one section covers the fastening screws of the other section. Also in this case the presence of the security strips prevents that the door can be forced open easily by means of a crowbar or other tool, whilst the door 2 is prevented from being moved perpendicularly to its plane.
  • the element 2 may be a door as well as a window, and the strips 4, 6 may be strips made of metal or of any other suitable material.
  • screws 5, 7 also other fastening means may be used, for example nails or pop rivets. Pop rivets may in particular be used when the frame 1 and/or the element 2 are made of aluminium.
