Definitions

  • the present invention relates to an element for making mechanisms to operate mobile door or window frames, the element being of the type comprising the features expressed in the preamble portion of claim 1.
  • door and window frames are composed of a fixed section mounted on jambs in a wall delimiting an opening in the wall, and a mobile frame hinged to the fixed frame.
  • the mobile frame comprises a plurality of profiled sections, generally four, forming the edges of the door or window.
  • a handle operated to open the door or window, and one or more locking elements operated by the handle to lock or unlock the window, are connected to the mobile frame.
  • Windows that can be opened in two different ways represent a particular field of application.
  • the first is the traditional way in which the mobile frame turns around a vertical axis.
  • the second way is tilt and turn in which the mobile frame also rotates around a horizontal axis (bottom hung window).
  • selecting elements operated by the handle are connected to the mobile frame for selecting the opening method desired.
  • the prior art also includes elements which connect the handle, locking elements, selecting elements and the frame to each other.
  • the selecting elements, locking elements and connecting elements are collectively referred to as hardware.
  • Hardware also includes elements such as drive blocks, closure rods, support rods, brackets, corner drives, angular stop arms, strikers or keepers and pawls.
  • This type of hardware can be divided into two different groups: a first group of elements designed to be fitted in a perimetric track made in the edge of the mobile frame and a second group comprising elements designed for connection to the handle, or to elements in the first group inserted in the tracks.
  • the present invention relates to the first group of hardware elements and reference will therefore be made below to only this type of element.
  • the track for the hardware element is composed of a number of suitably shaped guide channels, each extending along an outer edge of the mobile frame.
  • the guide channels are, in turn, formed by two opposing protrusions made in the profile forming the edge of the mobile door or window frame.
  • Each element is composed of a body and at least two tongues protruding laterally from the body and designed to engage the channels.
  • the mobile frame is constructed from a single profile section with a continuous guide extending along its outer edge.
  • the four pieces making up the edges of the mobile frame are cut from the profile (bar/extrusion) at angles of 45° and then fitted to each other.
  • the track for the elements comprising the four straight tracks extending along the four edges of the mobile frame, also extend uninterruptedly around the corners.
  • the first step in assembling the elements is to create insertion areas at the joints between the channels.
  • the elements are then inserted in the various channels in these areas in a direction coinciding with the axis of the corresponding channel.
  • the assembly operations require a great deal of time.
  • the installer must first arrange the various elements in the correct order and then carefully fit each into the small space made, one at a time.
  • the various elements can only be inserted in the channels one at a time, it is essential that they be inserted in the right order; if the installer makes a mistake, omitting an element or inserting one in the wrong position, the only way to correct the mistake is to remove the element in question from the channel, a well as all those inserted after it. This takes a considerable amount of time and hence increases the cost of assembling the structure.
  • Another disadvantage is that a section of the channels has to be removed in order to make the channels accessible; this operation not only increases the time taken to assemble the frame, but can be tricky in that even a small mistake can damage parts of the frame.
  • the present invention has for its basic object to provide an element used to make mechanisms to operate mobile door or window frames that overcomes the above mentioned disadvantages.
  • Another object of the present invention is to provide an element for making mechanisms used to operate mobile door or window frames which can be installed rapidly.
  • the aim of this invention is to provide an element for making mechanisms used to operate mobile door or window frames which allows assembly mistakes to be remedied quickly and easily and which enables the rapid replacement of parts when repairs are carried out.
  • Yet another aim of this invention is to provide an element for making mechanisms used to operate mobile door or window frames which does not require any additional operation to be carried out on the mobile frame during installation.
  • Another object of this invention is to provide a method for assembling a set of elements for making mechanisms used to operate mobile door or window frames having perimetric guide channels to allow quick and easy installation.
  • the numeral 1 denotes in its entirety an element for making mechanisms to operate mobile door or window frames according to the present invention and the numeral 2 denotes a guide channel made in the mobile frame of the door or window.
  • the element 1 comprises a body 3 and at least two tongues 4 connected to the body 3, one on each side, and designed to engage the channel 2.
  • the element 1 has an elongated shape
  • more than one pair of tongues 4 can be fitted in different transverse sections of the body 3; alternatively, only two, elongated tongues 4 can be provided.
  • the body 3 and the tongues 4 are made of a material with elastic properties, to allow the element 1 to be pressed into the channel 2 in a direction substantially perpendicular to the direction in which the channel 2 extends.
  • the body 3 and the tongues 4 are all made of the same elastic material thereby enhancing the elastic properties of the element.
  • Notches 5 are also be made in both the body 3 and the tongues 4 for this purpose.
  • the element according to the present invention functions in the following manner.
  • the element 1 is placed on one of the guide channels 2, in a direction substantially perpendicular to the channel 2.
  • the tongues are then moved until they engage the protrusions in the channel 2.
  • the element 1 when the element 1 is assembled according to said embodiment, it is placed on at least one of the protrusions of the channel 2, and then pressed into the channel 2, simultaneously deforming at least one of the tongues 4. Due to the pressure exerted on the element against the guide channel, the tongues 4 are deformed so that the element can be passed through the opening in the guide channel 2. Once the element 1 has been inserted in the channel 2, the tongues 4 are elastically restored to their original shape and engage the channel 2.
  • This invention has a number of important advantages.
  • the elements can be fitted in the channel in any order regardless of the position required for the mechanism to operate correctly.
  • the mistake can be corrected easily if the elements made according to this invention have been used.
  • the elements can be extracted from or inserted into the channel without moving those that have already been fitted correctly.
  • Another advantage offered by the installation method according to the present invention is that the entire mobile frame with the operating mechanisms fitted can be assembled without having to carry out any operation directly on the mobile frame itself.
  • the present invention is also simple to construct and the costs of carrying out the invention are not high.
