Description

L'invention se rapporte à une vitre sans encadrement en verre trempé avec les caractéristiques du préambule de la revendication 1.The invention relates to a window without glass frame quenched with the features of the preamble of claim 1.

Les vitres en verre trempé sont connues depuis longtemps et sont employées par exemple lorsque leur résistance à des sollicitations mécaniques ou thermiques est soumise à des exigences particulières. La résistance à la flexion est augmentée d'un multiple par les contraintes produites dans la vitre. Les conditions de contrainte entraínent aussi un comportement particulier de ces vitres à la rupture. En cas de surcharge ou d'endommagement de leur surface, elles se brisent en fait en un grand nombre de petits morceaux, dont les faces de rupture sont sensiblement perpendiculaires aux faces principales de la vitre, de sorte qu'il apparaít des fragments émoussés dans l'épaisseur de la vitre. Le risque de blessures par coupure est ainsi nettement réduit. Pour cette raison, il existe dans de nombreux pays des prescriptions qui imposent l'emploi obligatoire de verre de sécurité précontraint (appelé aussi verre de sécurité trempé, en abrégé ESG de « Einscheiben-sicherheitsglas » en allemand ) pour certaines applications.Tempered glass panes have been known for a long time and are used for example when their resistance to mechanical or thermal stress is subject to specific requirements. The flexural strength is increased by a multiple by the constraints produced in the window. Constraint conditions also lead to particular behavior of these panes at break. In case of overloading or damaging their surface, they break into made in a large number of small pieces, whose faces of rupture are substantially perpendicular to the main faces of the glass, so that it appears blunt fragments in the thickness of the glass. The risk of cut injuries is thus significantly reduced. For this reason, there are many countries with prescriptions that impose compulsory employment pre-stressed safety glass (also called safety glass hardened, abbreviated to ESG from "Einscheiben-sicherheitsglas" in German) for some applications.

Pour des raisons esthétiques, on renonce souvent à un encadrement pour la vitre, afin de pouvoir réaliser des constructions transparentes et d'aspect allégé. Un exemple de telles applications sont les portes entièrement vitrées, qui sont par exemple illustrées dans le document DE 34 35 161 C2, ou des portes de cabines de douches connues par le document DE 37 20 121 A1. De telles portes entièrement vitrées ne sont en règle générale maintenues que localement d'un côté à proximité des angles au moyen de ferrures de serrage du côté de la battée, une grande partie des arêtes périphériques étant alors libre. Lorsque de telles vitres trempées sans encadrement se brisent, l'énergie qu'elles contiennent est libérée. Les fragments formés peuvent être projetés dans la direction du plan de la vitre, à cause des conditions de contrainte régnant dans la vitre.For aesthetic reasons, we often forgo framing for the glass, in order to be able to carry out constructions transparent and light in appearance. An example of such applications are fully glazed doors, which are example illustrated in document DE 34 35 161 C2, or shower cabin doors known from document DE 37 20 121 A1. Such fully glazed doors are not in good standing generally maintained only locally on one side near angles by means of clamping fittings on the side of the swing, one most of the peripheral edges are then free. When such frameless toughened glass shatters, the energy that they contain is released. The fragments formed can be projected in the direction of the plane of the window, due to stress conditions prevailing in the window.

Lorsque des vitres trempées sont logées dans un encadrement, de telle manière que les arêtes de la vitre soient supportées dans une corniche à verre, l'éjection des fragments peut être empêchée de manière efficace. L'inconvénient est cependant que les caractéristiques particulières de configuration d'une vitre sans encadrement sont perdues.When tempered glass is housed in a frame, in such a way that the edges of the glass are supported in a glass ledge, the ejection of the fragments can be prevented in an effective way. The downside, however, is that particular configuration characteristics of a window without coaching are lost.

L'invention a pour objet d'améliorer encore la sécurité d'une vitre trempée, montée sans encadrement, en cas de rupture.The object of the invention is to further improve the safety of a toughened glass, mounted without frame, in case of breakage.

Conformément à l'invention, cet objectif est atteint par les caractéristiques de la revendication 1. Les caractéristiques des revendications secondaires subordonnées présentent des variantes avantageuses de cette vitre de sécurité.In accordance with the invention, this objective is achieved by the Characteristics of claim 1. The characteristics of subordinate secondary claims have variants advantageous of this safety glass.

Conformément à l'invention, la vitre est donc pourvue d'un élément de cerclage, qui s'applique sur le chant d'au moins un côté ou d'une arête de la vitre et qui, en cas de bris de la vitre, empêche la projection de fragments au-delà de ce côté. Lorsque l'élément de cerclage est disposé tout autour, donc couvre tous les chants de la vitre, les fragments émoussés peuvent être maintenus ensemble sous l'influence de la contrainte de compression exercée de l'extérieur sur les faces périphériques par l'élément de cerclage. Dans le cas le plus favorable, la structure extérieure de la vitre est préservée et une ouverture à fermer peut encore rester fermée pendant un certain temps. According to the invention, the window is therefore provided with a strapping element, which is applied to the edge of at least one side or edge of the glass and which, in the event of breakage of the glass, prevents projection of fragments beyond this side. When the strapping element is arranged all around, therefore covers all the edges of the glass, the dull fragments can be held together under the influence of duress of compression exerted from the outside on the peripheral faces by the strapping element. In the most favorable case, the exterior structure of the glass is preserved and an opening to close may still remain closed for some time.

Dans une forme de réalisation préférée de la vitre conforme à l'invention, sa face périphérique est creusée et/ou entaillée au moins partiellement dans le sens longitudinal de l'arête de la vitre, pour que l'élément de cerclage trouve une assise sûre sur le chant de la vitre et que les efforts de compression agissant perpendiculairement sur celui-ci ne puissent pas conduire à un glissement latéral de l'élément de cerclage. Une telle face périphérique creuse peut par exemple être obtenue par meulage. Il n'est en l'occurrence pas nécessaire de prévoir l'évidement ou l'entaille concave en continu sur toute la longueur d'un ou de plusieurs chants. Il peut par exemple également suffire de ne munir que les régions des angles des chants avec des zones évidées en creux, l'élément de cerclage ne s'appliquant que sur les arêtes lisses. Sa précontrainte peut être suffisamment élevée, avec un matériau approprié, pour que l'on ne doive normalement pas s'attendre à une chute par un glissement latéral. De même, on gardera l'élément de cerclage aussi mince que possible, pour qu'il ne forme pas de saillie notable au-dessus de l'arête ou de la face périphérique de la vitre.In a preferred embodiment of the window according to the invention, its peripheral face is hollowed out and / or notched with at least partially in the longitudinal direction of the edge of the glass, so that the strapping element finds a secure seat on the edge of the glass and that the compressive forces acting perpendicularly on it cannot lead to a lateral sliding of the strapping element. Such a face hollow device can for example be obtained by grinding. In this case, it is not necessary to plan the recess or the concave notch continuously along the entire length of one or several songs. For example, it may also be sufficient provide only the regions of the edges of the edges with zones hollowed out, the strapping element only applying to smooth edges. Its prestressing may be sufficient high, with suitable material, so that no normally not expect a fall by lateral sliding. Similarly, we will keep the strapping element as thin as possible, so that it does not form a noticeable protrusion above the edge or the peripheral face of the glass.

Dans un perfectionnement de la face périphérique concave, il est également possible d'usiner une rainure dans la face périphérique, dans laquelle l'élément de cerclage est posé, le fond de la rainure étant dans ce cas une partie de la face périphérique sur laquelle l'élément de cerclage s'applique. Si la section transversale choisie pour la rainure est plus grande que la section transversale de l'élément de cerclage, l'élément de cerclage peut à peine être aperçu en regardant les faces principales de la vitre. La possibilité est ainsi offerte de fabriquer une construction particulièrement agréable au point de vue esthétique. La rainure est usuellement réalisée par enlèvement de matière (meulage, sciage, fraisage), elle pourrait cependant aussi être façonnée par un faisceau laser. Le fond de la rainure peut être anguleux ou arrondi, la réalisation arrondie étant préférée pour éviter des pics de contraintes dans le fond de la rainure, en particulier aussi lors de la trempe. In an improvement of the concave peripheral face, it is also possible to machine a groove in the face peripheral, in which the strapping element is placed, the bottom of the groove being in this case part of the face device on which the strapping element is applied. If the cross section chosen for the groove is larger than the cross section of the strapping element, the element of strapping can barely be seen by looking at the faces main glass. The possibility is thus offered of build a particularly pleasant construction to the point of aesthetic view. The groove is usually made by removal of material (grinding, sawing, milling), it could however also be shaped by a laser beam. The bottom of the groove can be angular or rounded, the rounded realization being preferred to avoid stress peaks in the background of the groove, especially also during hardening.

Comme éléments de cerclage, des fils et des câbles en acier se sont avérés intéressants. Même avec de faibles sections transversales, ceux-ci conservent une précontrainte suffisante pour les objectifs de l'invention. Il existe cependant aussi sur le marché des fibres ou des câbles en matière plastique, qui présentent les propriétés mécaniques nécessaires pour une utilisation comme éléments de cerclage, et qui peuvent par conséquent être employés. La structure des éléments de cerclage n'est pas limitée à des fils, des câbles ou des fibres, on peut aussi imaginer d'autres formes de réalisation comme des bandes. L'utilisation de bandes peut par exemple être avantageuse, lorsque les chants des vitres sont dotés d'une surface plate. L'assemblage entre une telle bande et la face de chant du verre peut le cas échéant aussi être réalisé par collage, parce qu'en cas de bris de la vitre, la dilatation de celle-ci est dans tous les cas fortement limitée par la mise sous tension de la bande.As strapping elements, steel wires and cables are have proven to be interesting. Even with small sections transverse, these retain sufficient preload for the purposes of the invention. However, it also exists on the market for fibers or plastic cables, which have the mechanical properties necessary for use as strapping elements, and which can by therefore be employed. The structure of the strapping elements is not limited to wires, cables or fibers, we can also imagine other embodiments like bands. The use of bands can for example be advantageous, when the window edges have a flat surface. The assembly between such a strip and the edge face of the glass can if necessary also be made by gluing, because in in the event of breakage of the glass, the dilation of this is in all cases strongly limited by the tensioning of the strip.

Lorsque la vitre est utilisée comme fenêtre ou porte mobile, il est particulièrement avantageux que l'élément de cerclage soit pourvu d'un élément d'étanchéité supplémentaire. Pour des installations de portes, on emploie souvent des joints à brosse. Un tel joint peut être fixé à l'élément de cerclage par exemple au moyen d'un assemblage collé. Cependant, d'autres types d'assemblages sont possibles, par emboítement, fusion ou serrage. Une fixation simple par serrage peut par exemple être obtenue par le serrage du joint à brosse sur l'élément de cerclage. A cet effet, on pose d'abord le joint à brosse sur l'arête périphérique de la vitre et on le bloque ensuite sur le chant avec l'élément de cerclage. Pour garantir un blocage sûr et une pose durable, la forme du joint à brosse doit éventuellement être adaptée à la forme de la face périphérique et à la nature et à la structure de l'élément de cerclage.When the glass is used as a window or movable door, it is particularly advantageous if the strapping element is provided with an additional sealing element. For some door installations, brush seals are often used. Such a seal can be attached to the strapping element for example by means of a bonded assembly. However, other types assemblies are possible, by interlocking, fusion or tightening. Simple fixing by tightening can for example be obtained by tightening the brush seal on the strapping element. In this effect, we first put the brush seal on the peripheral edge glass and then block it on edge with the element of strapping. To guarantee secure blocking and lasting installation, the shape of the brush seal may need to be adapted to the shape of the peripheral face and the nature and structure of the strapping element.

D'autres types de joints possibles sont les joints à tuyau souple et les joints à lèvre. Un joint à tuyau souple peut être fixé d'une manière particulièrement simple, en disposant l'élément de cerclage dans l'espace creux du joint à tuyau souple. En l'occurrence, le joint à tuyau souple est serré en même temps que l'élément de cerclage sur la face périphérique de la vitre. La section transversale du tuyau souple devrait être un multiple de la section transversale de l'élément de cerclage. Ainsi, le tuyau souple profilé forme un corps compressible, qui se prolonge en direction de la face principale de la vitre. Lorsqu'il est doté d'un corps de base adapté au contour de la face périphérique, un joint à lèvre peut être fixé comme un joint à brosse. Selon les exigences, le joint à lèvre s'étend en l'espèce perpendiculairement à la face principale de la vitre ou dans la direction de la face principale de la vitre. Sur la lèvre d'étanchéité, il peut cependant aussi être prévu, dans sa partie tournée vers le chant, un tuyau souple profilé, qui convient pour recevoir l'élément de cerclage. Par le serrage de l'élément de cerclage, on fixe ainsi en même temps le joint à lèvre. On peut bien entendu aussi combiner plusieurs types de joints, par exemple un joint à tuyau souple avec un joint à brosse. Outre un effet d'étanchéité accru, on empêche dans ce cas l'élément de cerclage d'être visible de l'extérieur, grâce au joint à tuyau souple.Other types of possible joints are flexible pipe joints and lip seals. A flexible pipe joint can be attached in a particularly simple way, by arranging the element of strapping in the hollow space of the flexible pipe joint. In in this case, the flexible pipe joint is tightened at the same time as the strapping element on the peripheral face of the glass. The cross section of the flexible pipe should be a multiple of the cross section of the strapping element. So the profiled flexible hose forms a compressible body, which extends towards the main face of the window. When he is with a basic body adapted to the contour of the face peripheral, a lip seal can be attached as a seal to brush. Depending on requirements, the lip seal extends in the species perpendicular to the main face of the glass or in the direction of the main face of the glass. On the sealing lip, it can however also be provided, in its part turned towards the edge, a profiled flexible pipe, which suitable for receiving the strapping element. By tightening the strapping element, the seal is thus fixed at the same time lip. We can of course also combine several types of joints, for example a flexible pipe joint with a joint to brush. In addition to an increased sealing effect, this prevents case the strapping element to be visible from the outside, thanks to the flexible pipe joint.

Si l'élément de cerclage n'est pas un composant sans fin, comme par exemple un anneau de fil, ses extrémités doivent être assemblées l'une à l'autre après ou pour l'application de la contrainte de traction. Ceci peut se faire par exemple à l'aide d'une clé de tension ou d'un assemblage serti. Pour des vitres, qui sont munies de pièces de ferrures, ces parties d'assemblage peuvent être dissimulées de façon appropriée derrière les pièces des ferrures ou à l'intérieur de celles-ci, de telle sorte qu'elles ne soient pas visibles. Il est aussi tout à fait possible d'utiliser les pièces des ferrures elles-mêmes comme supports pour l'élément de cerclage. Dans ce cas, les extrémités de l'élément de cerclage ne sont pas réunies, mais elles sont fixées individuellement à une pièce de ferrure. Les deux extrémités de l'élément de cerclage peuvent aussi être attachées à deux pièces de ferrures différentes. L'élément de cerclage n'entoure alors qu'une partie de la face périphérique totale de la vitre. Justement lorsqu'une porte vitrée doit être équipée de la façon discutée ici, son côté de battée ne doit pas absolument être entièrement serré par un élément de cerclage, parce que d'éventuels fragments y frapperaient sans dommage le châssis dormant ou l'huisserie.If the strapping element is not an endless component, such as for example a wire ring, its ends must be assembled to each other after or for the application of the tensile stress. This can be done for example using a tension key or a crimped assembly. For windows, which are fitted with fittings, these assembly parts can be appropriately concealed behind rooms or inside fittings, so that they are not visible. It is also quite possible to use the parts of the fittings themselves as supports for the strapping element. In this case, the ends of the strapping element are not met, but they are individually fixed to a piece of hardware. Both ends of the strapping element can also be attached with two different fittings. The strapping element then only surrounds part of the total peripheral face of the window. Precisely when a glass door must be equipped with the way discussed here, its swing side shouldn't absolutely be fully tightened by a strapping element, because any fragments would hit the chassis without damage sleeping or door frame.

D'autres détails et avantages de l'objet de l'invention seront présentés par les dessins de deux exemples de réalisation et par leur description qui suit.Other details and advantages of the subject of the invention will be presented by the drawings of two exemplary embodiments and by their description which follows.

is a sectional representation in the region of the edge of the fully glazed door along line II of Figure 1; and

shows a sectional representation of the fully glazed door with a peripheral strapping element and a brush seal.

Suivant la figure 1, une porte entièrement vitrée 1 en verre flotté trempé thermiquement (ESG) est pourvue de ferrures de charnières 2 et 2' ainsi que d'une ferrure de serrure 3. Par la figure 2, qui représente une vue en coupe de la région du bord de la porte entièrement vitrée 1 le long de la ligne II, on peut voir qu'une rainure semi-circulaire 4 est usinée le long des faces périphériques de chant, parallèlement aux faces principales et le long des chants concernés. D'une manière connue en soi, la rainure a été réalisée avant la trempe de la porte entièrement vitrée 1 par une opération de meulage. La forme de la rainure peut s'écarter de la forme en arc de cercle, par exemple elle peut aussi être en forme de V. Pourtant, la rainure en forme de C représentée ici est plus simple à réaliser et elle offre également des avantages en ce qui concerne la trempe. Les arêtes aux passages des chants aux faces principales de la vitre 1 sont cassées de la façon habituelle, de sorte qu'il apparaít un chanfrein. Un câble d'acier précontraint 5 est disposé dans la rainure 4 en guise d'élément de cerclage. Le câble d'acier peut par exemple être tendu au moyen d'une vis de tension, qui peut avantageusement être disposée à l'intérieur d'une ferrure de charnière 2 ou 2'. On a cependant choisi ici un anneau de câble d'acier fermé, qui peut être allongé à l'aide d'outils adéquats jusqu'à ce qu'il puisse être logé dans la rainure 4 sur les chants. A l'état détendu, l'anneau de câble d'acier doit être plus petit que le périmètre au fond de la rainure, afin qu'il puisse, en position de montage, appliquer un effort de cerclage (élastique) suffisant sur les chants.According to FIG. 1 , a fully glazed door 1 made of thermally toughened float glass (ESG) is provided with hinge fittings 2 and 2 ′ as well as with a lock fitting 3. By FIG. 2 , which represents a sectional view of the region of the edge of the fully glazed door 1 along line II, it can be seen that a semicircular groove 4 is machined along the peripheral edge faces, parallel to the main faces and along the edges concerned. In a manner known per se, the groove was produced before the quenching of the fully glazed door 1 by a grinding operation. The shape of the groove can deviate from the shape of an arc, for example it can also be V-shaped. However, the C-shaped groove shown here is simpler to make and it also offers advantages in regarding quenching. The edges at the edges of the edges of the main faces of the window 1 are broken in the usual way, so that a chamfer appears. A prestressed steel cable 5 is placed in the groove 4 as a strapping element. The steel cable can for example be tensioned by means of a tensioning screw, which can advantageously be arranged inside a hinge fitting 2 or 2 '. However, a closed steel cable ring has been chosen here, which can be extended using suitable tools until it can be accommodated in the groove 4 on the edges. In the relaxed state, the steel cable ring must be smaller than the perimeter at the bottom of the groove, so that it can, in the mounting position, apply sufficient strapping (elastic) force on the edges .

Dans la figure 3, on a représenté une forme de réalisation de la vitre conforme à l'invention, dans laquelle le câble d'acier 4' se trouve à l'intérieur d'un tuyau souple profilé 6 en élastomère. Le tuyau souple profilé 6 est maintenu sur la face périphérique de chant à l'aide de l'effort de serrage du câble d'acier 4'. Les surfaces du tuyau souple profilé 6 situées à l'opposé des chants de la porte entièrement vitrée 1 sont pourvues de brosses 7, qui agissent comme joints à brosse par rapport à un cadre de porte. Cette forme de joint est particulièrement efficace, parce que le tuyau souple profilé élastique 6 peut, avec des dimensions appropriées, presser les brosses 7 sur un cadre de porte. On peut se passer de joints supplémentaires dans le cadre de porte lui-même.In Figure 3 , there is shown an embodiment of the window according to the invention, in which the steel cable 4 'is inside a flexible flexible pipe 6 made of elastomer. The profiled flexible pipe 6 is held on the peripheral edge face using the clamping force of the steel cable 4 '. The surfaces of the profiled flexible pipe 6 located opposite the edges of the fully glazed door 1 are provided with brushes 7, which act as brush seals with respect to a door frame. This form of seal is particularly effective, because the elastic profiled flexible pipe 6 can, with appropriate dimensions, press the brushes 7 on a door frame. Additional seals can be dispensed with in the door frame itself.
