Abstract

Set of devices for covering and protecting frames of windows and doors until these are installed on site.
This consists in a set of profiles, substantially "U" shaped, which include a sufficient extension for covering the profiles which are formed by carpentry items. They have a protection, insertion or covering which facilitates the safekeeping of the profiles, as well as the simplicity of their positioning and dismounting.
They restrict the action of the blinds and make it impossible to fit the window panels, thus guaranteeing the safekeeping of said assemblies.
For application in the protection of profiles of windows, doors and their frames.

Description

  • Set of devices for covering and protecting window and door frames until these are installed on site.
  • The technical field of this patent is that of windows, doors and frames.
  • Building work is characterised by the simultaneous presence in a single building of a number of people from the trades involved for installing the different facilities, there in order to install, complete these and satisfy the builder and owner with their work.
  • One of the problems is the different trades involved. The carpenter knows how to take care of wood. The mason takes care of tiling, flooring or renderings, but painters take even greater care, as they solve the flaws left by the previous two. For this reason, carpentry items can also undergo harm, when the staff, belongings and equipment go through the windows, doors or even inside the buildings.
  • Scratching wooden carpentry always involves the possible solution of rectification of its surface, albeit difficult and expensive. But this is difficult on aluminium or PVC carpentries, in which a deep scratch or a blow definitively deteriorate the smooth effect, thus being undesirable, and subject in certain cases to certain liability on the builder's part, having to change these if they are rejected by the customer, and entailing serious losses.
  • Statement of the previous state of the art.
  • The cellophane protective film which tends to be used to cover profiles is well-known. It involves the disadvantage of its weakness and that its covering, only when kept in good condition, provides protection only against paint or splashing, not against scratching or blows.
  • ES U133820 consists in a device which adds a spacer preventing blows to carpentries already installed.
  • ES U166.375 for a protective device for windows, consisting of a horizontal double "U" set on both sides of a crosspiece, so that by inserting these "U"s on the profiles of the carpentry, this acts as a rail.
  • The present invention has as its object a set of devices for covering and protecting frames of windows and doors until these are installed on site. The covering devices are also reusable, and their nature means that they are compatible with the work of rendering or finishing interior or exterior walls, and allow a wide range of possibilities for covering any length, width and height of frame. They also refer in particular to the modes of structuring profiles which take on a mixed configuration in many cases to adapt to the requirements such as those of covering the spaces of guides for blinds, as well as being structured so as to allow the accommodation of seals at their ends. They can be composed and constituted of foamy, reticulated or amorphous materials, metal or non-metal, adapting to the different forms of frame, the different possible configurations of wall, etc.. We also present an embodiment in which the coupling between the two lateral profiles and the central one is done by a quick-connection system, which allows in all cases adaptation by means of using intermediate profiles of different sizes, to the same ones of frames which have to be protected.
  • In order to make the following explanation clearer, eleven sheets of drawings are accompanied in which nineteen figures represent the essence of the present invention.
  • Figure 1 shows a schematic front view of a window covered by protective profiles.
  • Figure 2 shows a view of the protective profile of the vertical parts of the frames.

  • Figure 15 shows a sectional view of a frame and its protection formed of a profile fitted with slots and pins for interlocking to adapt to different widths and lengths of the profile.
  • Figure 16 shows a perspective view of a fragment of a protection formed of longitudinal elements able to be assembled to adjacent ones.
  • Figure 17 shows a perspective view of a fragment of protection formed of transversal elements which cover the whole frame, able to be vertically assembled with each other.
  • Figure 18 shows a sectional view of a frame and its protection which has a slot for inserting a seal.
  • Figure 19 represents a sectional view of a frame and its protection which has a wraparound rear seal.

  • The following statements refer to a removable arrangement, in which each straight section is formed of at least two pieces, thus determining its total adaptability to any dimension of window. And so 8 shows the vertical lower section, 9 the upper vertical section, 10 the lower part of the section 8, square-shaped, 11 the upper mitred part of the upper vertical section 9, 12 the upper horizontal section, 12.1 the complementary upper horizontal section, 13 and 13.1 the end forms corresponding to the mitre-shaped sections of parts 12 and 12.1, 14 the lower horizontal section, 14.1 the complementary lower horizontal section, 15 the profile of the protector, 16 the external wall of the frame, 17 the part of the frame corresponding to the gain (or mortise) and mechanisms, 18 the pocket made in the end zone of the protector on its inside, 19 the matting laid longitudinally in the pocket 18, 20 the covering on the inside 6 of the protective profiles, 21 the open "tube" arrangement, of a material such as plastic or cardboard, in these cases, with single-use, disposable solution, 22 a frame, in this case one for a window being represented, though it can be of a door, wardrobe, with or without a blind, etc., 23 the frame gain, 24 the blind guide, either connected to the frame or not, 25 the wall on which the frame is fitted, 26 the "U" shaped protector, 27 the structure of the protector in reticulate, preferably of plastic reticulated material, 28 the structure of the protector in foamy material, 29 the structure of the protector in amorphous material, such as plastic or aluminium, 30 the protector with closed extension, 31 the protector with open extension, 32 the wall in which the frame is embedded, 33 a protector consisting of several elements, 34 a protector with assembly items 35 a complementary part for protector 34, with the possibility of being of several sizes, 36 the coupling device between protection items 37 for single use, 37 a protector with securing base for crosspiece or angle bracket, 38 the base of the crosspiece or angle bracket, 39 the crosspiece or angle bracket, 40 a protector with automatic securing device, 41 securing slots, 42 securing pins, 43 a protector composed of longitudinal parts, 44 a part of the protector 22, the central one, 45 one part of the protector 22, 46 the overlapping of the protector 22, 47 the overlapping flanges for securing, 48 a protector consisting of transversal parts, 49 the overlapping and fixing flanges, 50 the recesses for insertion of the flanges in protector 27, 51 one end of the protector beside the wall, 52 a slot able to house a seal, 53, a seal, flange or sheet, 54 the arrangement of a seal, flange or sheet between both parts of the protector, 55 the arrangement of wraparound seal, for fixings which have to isolate the wall-frame coupling.
  • The essence of the concept is to cover three of the four outer faces of the profile, the ones that have external contact since the fourth is connected to the wall and does not need to be protected, covering all the profiles by means of this invention.
  • With the items indicated 1 to 5 there is a highly effective arrangement, but limited in its application and use to windows of unified size. This case occurs with some regularity, so its sphere of application is not negligible. It can be completely dismantled and, as can be appreciated in the figures that follow this first one described with said numbers, it is fully reusable, since it has the flanges 5 common to practically all the embodiments, which make up a total assembly of the parts, by means of flanges 5 and holes 7 to which a conventional screw is fixed, able to be a rivet, preferable plastic, a heat bond or any similar type.
  • The layout stemming from figure 4 allows the possibility of the protection of a wide range of sizes being enabled with a limited number of parts, insofar as it is also useful to have intermediate parts, though these are not represented. So, according to this embodiment, the covering of frames takes place by means of the protection of the sides; afterwards the lower parts are secured and then the upper part. The assembly thus assembled has greater cohesion and any accidental separation of the items forming it proves difficult.
  • Since the reusable profiles will usefully be made of a lasting, light, easy to handle material, the aluminium profile is preferred as ideal, without disregarding any other. This material has the disadvantage of possibly being aggressive to the external paint or protection of the frames. For this reason a solution has been planned consisting of protecting the inner side 6 of the covering profiles.
  • The profiles are as has been described, formed by whole parts or by sections, which are set out adjacently, corresponding to the frames, each one of these can partially or totally cover each section of the frame, being complemented in the angles either by a complementary mitred arrangement or by a an angle layout, in the case of the arrangement of another section fully covering the angle.
  • The problem that could be caused by the protection device, since this is a "U" shaped part, which embraces the profile over which this is placed, is that this could also scratch said profile, as it should be inserted by displacement. This drawback is solved by means of inner pockets which are set in each profile and which house mats like the ones used in sliding windows as a closing seal, which facilitate the protective profile movement and prevent friction.
  • The pockets can also house another type of anti-friction pieces, such as plastic foam, polypropylene, or even a liner of expanded polystyrene. This will in any case prevent friction when fitting and removing the protection.
  • These pockets may in this last case not be ultimately necessary, if the protection profile is fully covered by the interior part.
  • We state alternatives as an example, not as a limitation, though the statement is preferential.
  • The first of the solutions consists of forming a pocket 18 and the arrangement in this of a strip of matting 19 which produces a support and also provides separation between the frame and the protector, which absorbs any impact within certain bounds.
  • The second of the solutions consists of an inner covering 20 of the whole covering profile. In this case, this is particularly a protection by means of foam, polypropylene, polymerised polyvinyl with foaming agent or also expanded polystyrene set in very fine layers. This part is not limitative.
  • The third of the solutions is applied for covering profiles, which are protected except for the comers. It consists in the arrangement of a plastic cardboard or similar tube of the appropriates thickness which, when properly cut, determines an opening which allows this to be inserted and eliminated. Its nature, as has been said, means that it is preferred for a single use, so it cannot be taken advantage of in general.
  • This is in short a matter of providing the covering profile with characteristics that are not aggressive for the frame that this protects.
  • As has been described, the assembly starts from profiles that are extruded or formed in great lengths, and cut off to make them match the dimensions of the corresponding frames. The shape of each covering device depends on the shape of the profile and the way this is to be fitted. They can be regular or of unequal section to the extent that one of their flanges extends further than another.
  • One of the advantages meant by this stems from the fact that it also covers the tracks along which the blinds run, preventing these from being used. This also protects the surface of the slats of these blinds, which through not being movable, remain inside the housing, protected, clean and free from dust and harm.
  • The means for securing the profiles to the carpentry is provided by the way they are fixed to each other. This is done by the provision of flanges on the angle pieces, which are fitted with an attachment by screwing, which can be replaced by silicon, or by rivets, with the same effect. Rivets are more permanent and difficult to remove, and should thus be used in marginal cases, on high-risk items, or in environmentally unfavourable circumstances, beside demolition work, when the material is to be taken precisely through that window space etc..
  • One possible application stems from the cohesion itself of the profile to the frame. It is more appropriate for small jobs on which the care is greater.
  • The use of silicon facilitates temporary fixing and its relatively easy removal when this is placed at specific points, and not spread along the profile.
  • The form of reuse consists in eliminating the securing attachment, whatever sort may be chosen, and dismantling. After moving this to the workshop this is installed on new carpentry items. In the event of the sizes not coinciding, items can proceed to be added until the surface is covered.
  • The extension is indefinite, and can for example be made in sections covering large windows installed with frames 30 metres or more in size; the height is also adaptable, and standard profiles can be used for this, since the height is more common and limited than the width.
  • Since the layout of a protector has its disadvantages when the frame of the window or door is also attempted to be covered, so that a single protector covers both elements. This is particularly the case because the profile of the blind is not always integrated in the profile of the door frame, which means there may be different dimensions according to each of the installations, which makes it almost impossible to forecast a single dimension for this protection.
  • As can be appreciated in the drawings of figures 9 to 11, the structure of the protector in a shape so that its items can overlap, essentially structuring a "U" shape in one case or broken, open or closed in another depending on whether it is applied to a blind whose guide is inserted in the wall or projects from this, as can be appreciated by the protectors 26 in a "U" shape which according to the depth of the overlapping between the ones indicated as 26.1 and 26.2 will determine the adaptation to the width of the frame. Similarly the one shown as 30 which has three parts, the three forming an angle so that 30.1 allows a variation in the depth of overlapping in respect of 30.2 and this part is able to be adapted to a greater or lesser thickness of the blind guide by the displacement prior to the securing of part 30.3 over 30.2. In the same way, in Figure 11 one can appreciate a broken-shaped protector with three parts, so that when these are laid out in a way similar to the one shown as 30, with the particularity that 31.3 allows an extension which allows overlapping until guide 24 of the blind is covered.
  • The arrangement can also be structured in composite profiles, as is stated in 33, so that as is stated in Figure 12, the overlapping of profiles 33.1, 33.2, 33.3 and 33.4 determines the possibility of adapting to unequal lengths and dimensions in each part of the frame.
  • The embodiment shown in figure 13 reaches a configuration which leads to the adaptation of the protection set to the width of the frame, so that the part 35 has assemblies 36 complementary to the corresponding ones of parts 34, meaning that the different length of parts 35 determines the different widths, adaptation of these being by means of an automatic insertion device.
  • The arrangement of covering pieces in the frames means that these also require being squared, that is, fitted with means to stop them from sagging or going out of square, so that the covering profiles are fitted with means for this purpose and thus, as can be appreciated in figure 14, the profiles can have a base 38 for fixing a crosspiece or an angle bracket 39.
  • A simple and reusable means consists in the arrangement of parts 40.1, 40.2, 40.3 and 40.4, which have slots corresponding to pins of adjacent parts, their corresponding insertion in the proper slot allowing fast reuse of the profiles, and this is particularly true for jobs in which the protectors are to stay on for shorter times, since they will be easier to remove.
  • One embodiment for arrangement of the protector in longitudinal parts is represented in Figure 16, and in this it is appreciated that the profiles are fitted with flanges 47 which can hold a rivet or securing attachment of any kind, on part 44 and this can be held by the other part with the corresponding profile 45, also fitted with these flanges.
  • One embodiment that allows the reuse of profiles to adapt these to the different lengths of frames is the one represented in Figure 17, in which you can appreciate that the different protectors 48 are set with some items lying over others, and able to join by means of flanges 49.
  • One possibility for optimising protection for any of the profiles is represented in Figure 18, which represents the end 51 of the profiles, so that this can house a seal 53 in a slot 52, which constitutes a closing means preventing dust or dirt getting into the frame that is to be protected. This arrangement can also constitute a means for closing which prevents damp on the frame, with possibly only the claws for securing this projecting, thus preventing problems with swelling wood, rusting in other cases, etc..
  • One of the great advantages lies in the fact that neither the panels of the windows, nor clearly the corresponding window panes, if these are fixed, can be fitted. This facilitates ideal fitting at the end of the work with no risks for the safety of the material.
  • This is for industrial application in protecting profiles of windows, doors and their frames.
