Description

La présente invention concerne un organe de commande d'un ouvrant coulissant pour fenêtres, portes, porte-fenêtres et analogues selon le préambule de la revendication 1. Un tel organe de commande est connu du document US-A-6 050 617.The present invention relates to an opening control member sliding for windows, doors, patio doors and the like according to the preamble of claim 1. Such a control member is known from document US-A-6,050,617.

L'art antérieur présente de multiples solutions techniques très avantageuses sur le plan fonctionnel. Par contre ces solutions présentent une complexité dans l'assemblage des composants du produit d'une part, qui influe également sur les coûts et ces solutions ne sont pas forcément adaptées aux besoins de certains marchés tels que les portes coulissantes d'intérieur par exemple, et de ce fait elles sont d'un prix élevé pour l'usage destiné.The prior art presents multiple very advantageous technical solutions functionally. However, these solutions are complex in the assembly of the components of the product on the one hand, which also influences the costs and these solutions are not necessarily adapted to the needs of some markets such as indoor sliding doors for example, and therefore are expensive for intended use.

En second lieu, la technique très performante de l'art antérieur ne laisse physiquement plus de place pour le design qui est devenu très important.Second, the high-performance technique of the prior art does not leave physically more room for design which has become very important.

On connaít ainsi des organes de commande pour ouvrants coulissants comprenant un boítier destiné à être monté dans un évidemment pratiqué dans un montant de l'ouvrant coulissant. Ce boítier renferme un coulisseau déplaçable suivant l'axe du boítier par des moyens de commande accessibles par l'utilisateur. Ce coulisseau comporte une protubérance faisant saillie dans une lumière pratiquée dans le fond du boítier, cette protubérance comportant des moyens de liaison lui permettant de commander la translation de tringles montées sur le montant de l'ouvrant entre une position de verrouillage et de déverrouillage de l'ouvrant.There are thus known control members for sliding doors comprising a housing intended to be mounted in a recess practiced in a sliding sash amount. This case contains a movable slide along the axis of the housing by control means accessible by the user. This slide has a protrusion protruding into a light practiced in the bottom of the housing, this protrusion comprising means of link allowing it to control the translation of rods mounted on the sash amount between a locking and unlocking position of opening.

On connaít également selon l'US-A-6 050 617, un organe de commande pour ouvrant coulissant comprenant un boítier destiné à être monté dans un évidement pratiqué dans un montant de l'ouvrant coulissant. Ce boítier renferme un coulisseau déplaçable suivant l'axe dudit boítier par des moyens de commande accessibles par l'utilisateur. Ce coulisseau comporte une protubérance faisant saillie dans une lumière pratiquée dans le fond du boítier. Ce boítier est ouvert à l'une au moins de ses extrémités axiales. La lumière pratiquée dans le fond du boítier débouche vers l'extérieur au niveau de l'extrémité axiale ouverte du boítier et est adaptée pour permettre l'introduction du coulisseau dans le boítier par cette extrémité et l'insertion de la protubérance en saillie de ce coulisseau dans cette lumière ouverte. Par ailleurs, l'extrémité du coulisseau opposée à l'extrémité axiale ouverte du boítier porte une languette prenant appui élastiquement sur le fond du boítier.Also known according to US-A-6 050 617, a control member for sliding door comprising a housing intended to be mounted in a recess practiced in a sliding sash post. This case contains a slide movable along the axis of said housing by control means accessible by the user. This slide has a protrusion making protrusion in a light made in the bottom of the housing. This case is open to at least one of its axial ends. The light practiced in the bottom of the housing opens outwards at the open axial end of the housing and is adapted to allow the introduction of the slide into the housing by this end and inserting the protruding protrusion of this slider into this open light. Furthermore, the end of the slide opposite the end open axial of the housing carries a tongue bearing elastically on the bottom of the case.

Le but de la présente invention est de simplifier la réalisation d'un organe de commande du type ci-dessus, en réduisant le nombre de pièces et en facilitant le montage et l'assemblage de cet organe de commande, tout en offrant plus de souplesse en matière de design en ce qui concerne la partie visible de l'organe.The object of the present invention is to simplify the production of a order of the above type, reducing the number of parts and facilitating the mounting and assembly of this control member, while offering more flexibility in design with regard to the visible part of the organ.

Suivant l'invention, cet organe de commande est caractérisé en ce que la protubérance comporte des moyens de liaison lui permettant de commander la translation de tringles montées sur ledit montant entre une position de verrouillage et de verrouillage dudit ouvrant, en ce que ledit fond comporte un bossage allongé dans la direction axiale du boítier dont les extrémités coopèrent avec l'extrémité de la languette pour définir deux positions axiales distinctes dudit coulisseau à l'intérieur du boítier, et en ce que la lumière est fermée à son extrémité opposée à celle qui débouche dans l'extrémité ouverte du boítier, cette lumière comportant des butées pour limiter le coulissement du coulisseau.According to the invention, this control member is characterized in that the protuberance comprises connecting means allowing it to control the translation of rods mounted on said upright between a locking position and locking said opening, in that said bottom has an elongated boss in the axial direction of the housing whose ends cooperate with the end of the tongue to define two distinct axial positions of said slide at inside the case, and in that the light is closed at its end opposite to that which opens into the open end of the housing, this light comprising stops to limit the sliding of the slide.

Ainsi, l'organe de commande selon l'invention se compose essentiellement de deux pièces, à savoir un boítier et un coulisseau, ce dernier étant facile à monter dans le boítier puisqu'il suffit de l'engager par l'une des extrémités ouvertes du boítier.Thus, the control member according to the invention essentially consists two pieces, namely a housing and a slide, the latter being easy to mount in the case since it is enough to engage it by one of the ends open the housing.

De plus, la languette du coulisseau qui prend appui élastiquement sur le fond du boítier présente deux fonctions :

  • elle permet de compenser le jeu existant entre le coulisseau et le boítier, en poussant ce coulisseau vers la face supérieure du boítier ;
  • elle coopère élastiquement avec un bossage pour définir deux positions de translation du coulisseau.
In addition, the tongue of the slide which bears elastically on the bottom of the housing has two functions:
  • it compensates for the play between the slide and the housing, by pushing this slide towards the upper face of the housing;
  • it cooperates elastically with a boss to define two translation positions of the slide.

Par ailleurs, grâce au montage axial du coulisseau dans le boítier, la face extérieure visible du boítier peut présenter un design amélioré et / ou un cache pour masquer les organes de fixation.Furthermore, thanks to the axial mounting of the slide in the housing, the face visible exterior of the case may have an improved design and / or a cover to hide the fasteners.

Selon une version préférée de l'invention, les parois latérales du boítier qui bordent ladite extrémité axiale ouverte du boítier peuvent fléchir élastiquement, perpendiculairement à l'axe de ladite lumière, ladite protubérance en saillie du coulisseau comportant sur chacune de ses faces latérales une excroissance dirigée perpendiculairement à l'axe du coulisseau, ladite lumière présentant dans le plan de l'extrémité ouverte du boítier, une entrée rétrécie de largeur inférieure à la distance comprise entre les extrémités opposées des deux excroissances, celles-ci étant aptes à provoquer la flexion élastique vers l'extérieur des dites parois latérales du boítier lors de l'introduction axiale du coulisseau à l'intérieur du boítier.According to a preferred version of the invention, the side walls of the housing which border said open axial end of the housing can flex elastically, perpendicular to the axis of said light, said protrusion projecting from the slide comprising on each of its lateral faces a projection directed perpendicular to the axis of the slide, said light having in the plane of the open end of the housing, a narrowed entry of width less than the distance between the opposite ends of the two protuberances, these being able to cause elastic bending towards the outside of said side walls of the housing during the axial introduction of the slide inside the housing.

La déformation élastique des parois latérales du boítier permet ainsi non seulement d'introduire le coulisseau dans le boítier, mais également de loger définitivement en translation ledit coulisseau dans le boítier.The elastic deformation of the side walls of the housing thus allows not only to insert the slide in the housing, but also to house definitively in translation said slide in the housing.

Selon une particularité de l'invention, ladite lumière du fond du boítier comporte à l'opposé de ladite entrée rétrécie de ladite lumière, une lumière de plus faible largeur permettant le passage de ladite protubérance du coulisseau, les décrochements latéraux qui raccordent lesdites lumières constituant des butées pour lesdites excroissances pour limiter la course du coulissement du coulisseau.According to a feature of the invention, said light from the bottom of the housing comprises opposite said narrowed entry of said light, a weaker light width allowing the passage of said protuberance of the slide, the lateral recesses which connect said lights constituting stops for said protrusions to limit the sliding stroke of the slide.

Ainsi, les décrochements latéraux qui raccordent ladite entrée rétrécie à ladite lumière et les décrochements latéraux qui raccordent ladite lumière avec ladite lumière de plus faible largeur constituent des butées pour lesdites excroissances pour limiter la course du coulisseau entre la position verrouillée et la position déverrouillée.Thus, the lateral recesses which connect said narrowed inlet to said light and the lateral recesses which connect said light with said narrower width constitute stops for said protrusions to limit the slide stroke between the locked position and the unlocked position.

En référence aux figures annexées, l'organe de commande pour ouvrant coulissant comprend un boítier 1 destiné à être monté dans un évidement 2 (voir figure 10) pratiqué dans un montant 3 de l'ouvrant coulissant.With reference to the appended figures, the control member for opening sliding comprises a housing 1 intended to be mounted in a recess 2 (see figure 10) made in an upright 3 of the sliding sash.

Le boítier 1 renferme un coulisseau 4 déplaçable suivant l'axe X-X' dudit boítier 1 par des moyens de commande accessibles par l'utilisateur.The housing 1 contains a slide 4 movable along the axis XX 'of said housing 1 by control means accessible by the user.

Comme indiqué sur les figures 5, 6, 10 le coulisseau 4 comporte une protubérance 5 en forme de fourche faisant saillie (voir notamment la figure 9) dans une lumière 6 pratiquée dans le fond 7 du boítier 1.As shown in Figures 5, 6, 10 the slide 4 has a protrusion 5 in the form of a projecting fork (see in particular FIG. 9) in a light 6 made in the bottom 7 of the housing 1.

La protubérance 5 comporte des moyens de liaison lui permettant de commander la translation de tringles, non représentées, montées sur le montant 3, entre une position de verrouillage et de déverrouillage de l'ouvrant.The protrusion 5 includes connecting means allowing it to control the translation of rods, not shown, mounted on the upright 3, between a locking and unlocking position of the opening.

Conformément à l'invention, le boítier 1 est ouvert à l'une 1a au moins de ses extrémités axiales 1a, 1b.According to the invention, the housing 1 is open to at least one 1a of its axial ends 1a, 1b.

Par ailleurs, la lumière 6 pratiquée dans le fond 7 du boítier 1 débouche à l'extérieur (voir notamment les figures 1, 2 et 9) au niveau de l'extrémité axiale ouverte 1a du boítier 1 pour permettre l'introduction du coulisseau 4 dans le boítier 1 par ladite extrémité 1a et l'insertion de la protubérance 5 en saillie de ce coulisseau dans ladite lumière ouverte 6.Furthermore, the light 6 formed in the bottom 7 of the housing 1 opens out to the exterior (see in particular Figures 1, 2 and 9) at the axial end open 1a of the housing 1 to allow the introduction of the slide 4 in the housing 1 by said end 1a and the insertion of the protrusion 5 projecting from this slide in said open light 6.

De plus, comme indiqué notamment sur les figures 6, 7, 10, l'extrémité du coulisseau 4 opposée à ladite extrémité axiale ouverte 1 a du boítier 1 porte une languette 8 prenant appui élastiquement sur le fond 7 dudit boítier 1.In addition, as indicated in particular in Figures 6, 7, 10, the end of the slide 4 opposite to said open axial end 1a of the housing 1 carries a tongue 8 resting elastically on the bottom 7 of said housing 1.

Comme montré par les figures 2 et 10, le fond 7 du boítier 1 comporte un bossage 9 allongé dans la direction axiale X-X' du boítier 1.As shown in Figures 2 and 10, the bottom 7 of the housing 1 has a boss 9 elongated in the axial direction X-X 'of the housing 1.

Les extrémités 9a, 9b du bossage 9 coopèrent avec l'extrémité 8a de la languette 8 pour définir deux positions axiales distinctes du coulisseau 4 à l'intérieur du boítier 1, comme on l'expliquera en détail plus loin. Ce bossage permet également un coulissement sans jeu et sans effort du coulisseau à l'intérieur du boítier.The ends 9a, 9b of the boss 9 cooperate with the end 8a of the tongue 8 to define two separate axial positions of the slide 4 to the interior of the housing 1, as will be explained in detail below. This boss also allows effortless and effortless sliding of the slide to inside the case.

Les parois latérales 10 du boítier 1 qui bordent l'extrémité axiale ouverte 1a du boítier 1 peuvent fléchir élastiquement, perpendiculairement à l'axe X-X' de ladite lumière 6.The side walls 10 of the housing 1 which border the open axial end 1a of the case 1 can flex elastically, perpendicular to the axis XX 'of said light 6.

De plus, la protubérance en saillie 5 du coulisseau 4 comporte (voir figures 7, 9) sur chacune de ses faces latérales une excroissance 11 dirigée perpendiculairement à l'axe X-X' du coulisseau 4.In addition, the protruding protrusion 5 of the slide 4 has (see Figures 7, 9) on each of its lateral faces a protrusion 11 directed perpendicular to the axis XX 'of the slide 4.

Par ailleurs, la lumière 6 présente dans le plan de l'extrémité ouverte 1a du boítier 1, une entrée rétrécie 6a de largeur inférieure à la distance comprise entre les extrémités opposées des deux excroissances 11.Furthermore, the light 6 present in the plane of the open end 1a of the box 1, a narrowed entry 6a of width less than the distance included between the opposite ends of the two protuberances 11.

Ces dernières sont aptes à provoquer la flexion élastique vers l'extérieur des parois latérales 10 du boítier 1 lors de l'introduction axiale du coulisseau 4 à l'intérieur du boítier 1. The latter are capable of causing elastic bending towards the outside of the side walls 10 of the housing 1 during the axial introduction of the slide 4 to inside the housing 1.

De plus, comme montré notamment par les figures 7 et 9, les excroissances 11 comportent une extrémité chanfreinée 11 a pour faciliter leur passage dans l'entrée rétrécie 6a de la lumière 6.In addition, as shown in particular in FIGS. 7 and 9, the protuberances 11 have a chamfered end 11 a to facilitate their passage through the narrowed entry 6a of the light 6.

En outre, la lumière 6 du fond 7 du boítier 1 comporte à l'opposé de l'entrée rétrécie 6a de cette lumière 6, une lumière 12 de plus faible largeur permettant le passage de la protubérance 5 du coulisseau 4.In addition, the light 6 of the bottom 7 of the housing 1 comprises opposite the entrance narrowed 6a of this light 6, a light 12 of smaller width allowing the passage of the protuberance 5 of the slide 4.

Les décrochements latéraux 12a qui raccordent la lumière 6 à la lumière 12 constituent des butées pour les excroissances 11 afin de limiter la course du coulissement du coulisseau 4 vers l'extrémité 1b du boítier 1.The lateral recesses 12a which connect the light 6 to the light 12 constitute stops for the protuberances 11 in order to limit the travel of the sliding of the slide 4 towards the end 1b of the housing 1.

Les décrochements latéraux 6b qui raccordent l'entrée rétrécie 6a à la lumière 6 et les décrochements latéraux 12a qui raccordent la lumière 6 avec la lumière rétrécie 12 constituent des butées pour les excroissances 11 pour limiter la course du coulisseau 4 entre la position verrouillée et la position déverrouillée, comme montré notamment par la figure 9A.The lateral recesses 6b which connect the narrowed entry 6a to the light 6 and the lateral recesses 12a which connect the light 6 with the light narrowed 12 constitute stops for the protuberances 11 to limit the slide 4 stroke between the locked position and the unlocked position, as shown in particular in FIG. 9A.

Comme on l'expliquera plus en détail plus loin, les positions verrouillée et déverrouillée précitées correspondent aux deux extrémités opposées 9a, 9b du bossage allongé 9 qui coopèrent avec la languette élastique 8 du coulisseau 4.As will be explained in more detail later, the locked and unlocked above correspond to the two opposite ends 9a, 9b of the elongated boss 9 which cooperate with the elastic tongue 8 of the slide 4.

Comme montré en particulier par la figure 5, le coulisseau 4 est réalisé d'une seule pièce, y compris la protubérance 5 et la languette 8. Il est de section générale rectangulaire adaptée à celle du boítier 1.As shown in particular in Figure 5, the slide 4 is made of single piece, including the protrusion 5 and the tongue 8. It is of section general rectangular adapted to that of the housing 1.

La protubérance 5 du coulisseau 4 est conformée en fourche permettant l'accrochage du plot 13 (voir figure 10) d'une tringle ou d'un moyen de commande d'une tringle.The protrusion 5 of the slide 4 is shaped like a fork allowing the attachment of the stud 13 (see Figure 10) of a rod or a means of rod control.

Comme indiqué sur les figures 2 et 10, le boítier 1 porte sur sa face longitudinale opposée à son fond 7, une plaque 14 comportant à ses extrémités opposées des trous 15 pour des vis de fixation au montant 3 de l'ouvrant. Ces trous 15 sont situés au-delà des extrémités 1 a, 1b du boítier 1 dans lequel est logé le coulisseau 4.As shown in Figures 2 and 10, the housing 1 carries on its face longitudinal opposite its bottom 7, a plate 14 having at its ends opposite holes 15 for fixing screws to the upright 3 of the opening. These holes 15 are located beyond the ends 1a, 1b of the housing 1 in which is accommodated the slide 4.

Par ailleurs, comme montré par les figures 2 et 3 la plaque 14 comporte une ouverture allongée 16 de longueur inférieure à la longueur du coulisseau 4 additionnée de la course de celui-ci.Furthermore, as shown in Figures 2 and 3 the plate 14 has a elongated opening 16 of length less than the length of the slide 4 plus the stroke of it.

Le coulisseau 4 comporte sur sa face en regard de l'ouverture allongée 16 de la plaque 14 une cuvette 17 oblongue servant de moyen de préhension accessible aux doigts de l'utilisateur pour déplacer le coulisseau 4, entre les positions de verrouillage et de déverrouillage.The slide 4 has on its face opposite the elongated opening 16 of the plate 14 an oblong bowl 17 serving as an accessible gripping means to the user's fingers to move the slide 4, between the positions of locking and unlocking.

De plus, comme montré par les figures 5, 6, 8 le coulisseau 4 comporte sur sa face en regard de la plaque 14 des zones planes 18, 19 situées de part et d'autre de la cuvette 17.In addition, as shown in Figures 5, 6, 8 the slide 4 has on its opposite face of the plate 14 of the flat zones 18, 19 situated on the side and on the other side of the bowl 17.

L'une d'entre elles est masquée par la plaque 14 tandis que l'autre est visible dans l'ouverture 16 de la plaque 14, lorsque le coulisseau 4 est dans l'une ou l'autre de ses positions extrêmes.One of them is hidden by the plate 14 while the other is visible in the opening 16 of the plate 14, when the slide 4 is in one or the other from its extreme positions.

La zone 18 ou 19 visible du coulisseau 4 comporte de préférence une indication 18a, 19a par exemple une couleur verte ou rouge montrant à l'utilisateur l'une ou l'autre position ci-dessus.The visible zone 18 or 19 of the slide 4 preferably has an indication 18a, 19a for example a green or red color showing the user one or the other position above.

Par ailleurs (voir figure 6), l'extrémité du coulisseau 4 adjacente à la languette 8 comporte un épaulement 20a adapté à venir s'encliqueter sur le chant de la lumière 16 de la plaque 14, sous l'effet du rappel élastique de la languette 8 lorsque le coulisseau 4 est en position de verrouillage. Cet épaulement 20a constitue ainsi un moyen anti-effraction. Furthermore (see Figure 6), the end of the slide 4 adjacent to the tongue 8 has a shoulder 20a adapted to snap onto the edge of the light 16 of the plate 14, under the effect of the elastic return of the tongue 8 when the slide 4 is in the locked position. This shoulder 20a thus constitutes an anti-intrusion means.

La plaque 14 peut avoir un design visible de l'extérieur varié, comme montré par exemple par les rebords 14a visibles sur la figure 4. Par ailleurs, la plaque 14 comporte (voir figure 1 à 3) sur ses parties extrêmes débordant au-delà des extrémités 1 a, 1 b du boítier 1 des orifices 20 aptes à recevoir par encliquetage les pattes de fixation 22 d'un cadre 21 représenté sur les figures 12 et 13 adapté à recouvrir les trous 15 des vis de fixation ou la totalité de la plaque 14. Ce cache 21 peut-être en deux parties ou d'une seule pièce.
Dans ce dernier cas, le cadre présente une lumière permettant l'accès à la cuvette 17 du coulisseau. Dans tous les cas, le ou les caches présentent un design variable .
Le boítier 1 et le coulisseau 4 peuvent être réalisé par moulage de matériaux synthétiques ou d'alliages métalliques.The plate 14 may have a design visible from the outside, as shown for example by the flanges 14a visible in FIG. 4. Furthermore, the plate 14 has (see FIG. 1 to 3) on its end parts projecting beyond ends 1a, 1b of the housing 1 orifices 20 capable of receiving by snap fastening tabs 22 of a frame 21 shown in Figures 12 and 13 adapted to cover the holes 15 of the fastening screws or all of the plate 14. This cover 21 may be in two parts or in one piece.
In the latter case, the frame has a light allowing access to the bowl 17 of the slide. In all cases, the cover (s) have a variable design.
The housing 1 and the slide 4 can be produced by molding synthetic materials or metal alloys.

On va maintenant expliquer le montage et le fonctionnement de la poignée de commande que l'on vient de décrire.We will now explain the assembly and operation of the handle just described.

L'extrémité du coulisseau 4 comportant la languette 8 est introduite dans l'extrémité 1a du boítier 1.The end of the slide 4 comprising the tongue 8 is introduced into the end 1a of the housing 1.

L'extrémité du coulisseau 4 coulisse dans le boítier 1 jusqu'à ce que la languette 8 bute sur la base 12a de la lumière 12. L'opérateur repousse alors la languette 8 vers l'intérieur du boítier pour que l'extrémité 8a de la languette 8 puisse prendre appui sur le fond 7 du boítier.The end of the slide 4 slides in the housing 1 until the tab 8 abuts on base 12a of light 12. The operator then pushes back the tongue 8 towards the inside of the housing so that the end 8a of the tongue 8 can rest on the bottom 7 of the housing.

L'opérateur poursuit ensuite le coulissement du coulisseau 4 jusqu'à ce que les chanfreins 11a des excroissances 11 butent sur l'entrée rétrécie 6a de la lumière 6, comme montré par la figure 9A. L'opérateur exerce alors une poussée renforcée sur le coulisseau 4 de façon que les chanfreins 11a des excroissances 11 écartent les parois latérales 10 du boítier afin que les excroissances 11 puissent franchir l'entrée rétrécie 6a et s'engager dans la lumière 6.The operator then continues to slide the slider 4 until the chamfers 11a of the protuberances 11 abut on the narrowed entry 6a of the light 6, as shown in Figure 9A. The operator then exercises a reinforced thrust on the slide 4 so that the chamfers 11a of the protuberances 11 separate the side walls 10 from the housing so that the protuberances 11 can cross the narrowed entry 6a and engage in light 6.

En même temps, l'opérateur exerce une poussée sur la cuvette 17 du coulisseau, pour faire fléchir la languette élastique 8 afin que le bord supérieur avant du coulisseau passe sous le bord avant de l'ouverture 16 de la plaque 14. Simultanément, l'extrémité 8a de la languette 8 franchit l'extrémité en escalier 9a du bossage 9 ménagé à l'extrémité du fond 7 du boítier.At the same time, the operator pushes on the bowl 17 of the slide, to flex the elastic tongue 8 so that the upper edge front of the slide passes under the front edge of the opening 16 of the plate 14. Simultaneously, the end 8a of the tongue 8 crosses the stepped end 9a of the boss 9 formed at the end of the bottom 7 of the housing.

En faisant coulisser le coulisseau 4 vers l'avant, les excroissances 11 butent contre les décrochements 6b de la lumière 6. Cette position correspond à la position verrouillée.By sliding the slide 4 forwards, the protuberances 11 abut against the dropouts 6b of the light 6. This position corresponds to the locked position.

En faisant coulisser le coulisseau 4 vers l'arrière, les excroissances 11 butent contre les décrochements 12a, comme montré par la figure 9A.By sliding the slide 4 backwards, the protuberances 11 come up against against the setbacks 12a, as shown in FIG. 9A.

Cette position correspond à la position verrouillée.This position corresponds to the locked position.

Entre les deux positions ci-dessus, le coulisseau 4 coulisse sensiblement jeu et frottement, à l'intérieur du boítier.Between the two positions above, the slide 4 slides substantially clearance and friction, inside the case.

Le jeu ci-dessus du coulisseau dans le boítier peut être annihilé par des moyens fixes ou élastiques et préférentiellement par des bossages réalisés sur la face arrière de la paroi du fond du coulisseau et/ou de la face interne de la paroi du fond du boítier.The above play of the slide in the case can be annihilated by fixed or elastic means and preferably by bosses made on the rear face of the bottom wall of the slide and / or the internal face of the back wall of the case.

Il suffit ensuite d'introduire l'ensemble monté ci-dessus, dans l'évidement 2 du montant 3 de l'ouvrant, de mettre en place les vis de fixation dans les trous 15, puis de fixer par encliquetage les caches 21 sur la plaque 14 du boítier pour masquer les vis.Then simply introduce the assembly mounted above, in the recess 2 of the amount 3 of the sash, to put the fixing screws in the holes 15, then snap on the covers 21 on the plate 14 of the housing to hide the screws.
