Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a corner transmission element for doors and windows, in particular doors and windows with frames made of metal, wood or synthetic materials such as PVC.
  • door and window hardware that is to say, parts and accessories for the transmission and control systems for opening and closing the doors and windows
  • two different constructional philosophies one for door and window frames made of metal, and the other for door and window frames made of wood and/or synthetic materials such as PVC.
  • the profile presents an open channel (usually defined by a pair of L- or T-shaped profiles protruding from the bottom of the body and facing each other.
  • the channel acts as a guide and retains the rods which slide in it under the action of the operating unit to actuate the closing and contact elements (protruding from the channel and usually directly attached to or made as one with the rods) in such manner as to permit opening and closing of the door or window.
  • the profile forming the vertical member of the frame is appropriately slotted (see Figure 1, which shows a prior art solution with a profile made of metal or synthetic material with a wooden covering, represented by the dashed line).
  • the slots are open to the outside and used for fitting a profile P presenting a main chamber C delimited, at the sides, by two parallel wings A1 and, at the top, by two transversal ledges A2 or a narrow portion forming an upper supporting surface.
  • this profile is fitted with a preassembled kit comprising an operating unit consisting of a rack and pinion device (to which a handle is then connected) and some rods built into or connected to the operating unit itself.
  • the rods are in turn slidably mounted in a longitudinal cover-like supporting element usually of predetermined length (greater than the length of the vertical member of the frame and adapted on assembly). This cover is positioned on the above mentioned upper supporting surface and screwed directly to the profile chamber.
  • kits that is to say, kits that can be used not only in metal profiles but also in profiles for frames made from other materials such as wood and aluminium, wood or synthetic material. This may be accomplished more easily by the use of simplified profile geometry that is the same for all types of door and window frames available on the market.
  • this accessory is fitted to the top corner of the frame, on the side opposite the hinges, and often also to the other two corners (at the bottom on the side opposite the hinges and at the top on the same side as the hinge which is detached when the door or window is tilt opened).
  • this accessory has an outer body in the shape of a right angle and an internal cavity with a control rod sliding in it.
  • the control rod consists of a flexible steel strip that transmits the movements imparted by the handle to the vertical operating rods running along the outer vertical member of the mobile frame to vary the configuration of the accessories on the horizontal members.
  • the present invention therefore has for an aim to provide a corner transmission element whose structural characteristics are such that it can be fitted quickly and easily to frames made of metal, wood, synthetic material, or wood and aluminium, and to whichever corner of the mobile frame is required.
  • a corner transmission element for doors or windows of the type comprising a fixed frame and a mobile frame that can be both turn opened and tilt opened;
  • the transmission element comprising a right-angle shaped body with a cavity within which there slides a flexible control strip for transmitting the movements imparted by control means to operating rods of fastening and and/or operating means between a vertical frame member and a horizontal frame member;
  • the body comprising: a portion defining two holes made in each wing of the body for slidably housing respective sliders connecting the flexible strip to the operating rods and to a part of the fastening and/or operating means, respectively; a through slot made in a wing of the body and extending for a length that defines the working stroke of a respective slider connected to a part of the fastening and/or operating means which are slidably engaged in the slot; and fixing means for securing the body to the corner defined by the vertical frame member and by the horizontal frame member which are joined by inserting and frontally
  • a corner transmission element is applied to doors and windows of the type comprising a fixed frame and a mobile frame that can be opened, for example, by both turning and tilting.
  • door or window frame is made of metal, wood, wood and metal or synthetic material such as PVC.
  • the profile P may comprise, for example, a channel or main chamber C delimited, at the sides by parallel wings A1 and, at the top, by two transversal ledges A2 protruding from the parallel wings A1, or a narrow portion, forming an upper supporting surface.
  • the transmission element 2 comprises (see Figures 2 to 5): a substantially right-angle shaped body 3 with a cavity 4 within which there slides a flexible control strip 5 constituting an element that transmits the movements imparted by control means (for example, a handle M schematically illustrated in Figure 1) to operating rods 6 of fastening and/or operating means 7 between a vertical frame member 1a and a horizontal frame member 1b.
  • control means for example, a handle M schematically illustrated in Figure 1
  • the rods 6 (schematically illustrated by the dashed lines in Figures 4 and 5) can slide in the channel C of the profile P.
  • the body 3 comprises at least the following:
  • the fastening and/or operating means 7 may come in various forms, as described in more detail below, and comprise additional rods A3 for tilt opening (see Figure 3) or fastening elements such as contact bolts or pins.
  • the sliders 10 and 11 in each body 3 are identical, can slide in both directions, as indicated by the arrows F10 and F11, and each of them has, at the end of it, a hole 14 in which a pin 15 stably fits, the latter constituting a fastening element 7 and being slidable within the body 3 and in a respective through hole 16 from a first, idle position where the pin 15 is housed inside the body 3 (see Figure 5) and a second, fastened working position, where the pin 15 protrudes at least partly from the body 3 and is fastened in the fixed frame under the sliding action of the slider 10, 11 to which it is associated (see dashed line in Figure 5).
  • the above mentioned through hole 16 is made in only one of the wings of the body 3 and constitutes a partial extension of the respective hole 8, 9 that houses the respective slider 10, 11.
  • Each of the sliders 10, 11 comprises a first end having fastening means 17 for the above mentioned control strip 5 and the opposite end defined by a block 18 that is slidable in the channel C and is equipped with at least one protrusion 19 which can be coupled with a respective hole made in the operating rods 6 or in the fastening and/or operating means 7.
  • each slider 10, 11 is defined by a wall 20 connecting the aforementioned ends and presenting a slot 21 for the passage of at least the means 13 that fix the body 3 to the mobile frame 1.
  • each slider 10, 11 with the control strip 5 fastening means 17 has a hole 22 for fastening at least one contact bolt 23 defining a part of the fastening and/or operating means 7 that slide within the slot 12 made in the wing of the body 3.
  • the fastening means 17 consist of a plurality of circular protuberances 17a protruding from the respective end to which a portion of the strip 5 is coupled to transmit the drive movement between the sliders and, hence, between the rods 6 and the fastening and/or operating means 7.
  • each slider 10, 11 defined by the aforementioned block 18 has an enlarged portion 18a whose shape matches the profile of the body 3 so that the slider 10, 11 stops against the body 3 during the sliding movements that take place when the mobile frame 1 changes from one configuration to another.
  • the body 3 has a tubular profile divided into two straight sections corresponding to the wings and connected by an opening 4 (constituting the aforementioned cavity) within which the control strip 5 slides round the corner.
  • the outer profile of the tubular section of the body 3 comprises a first, upper portion 3a that is wider than a second, lower portion 3b, both these portions forming an undercut 3s by which the body 3 rests on the transversal ledges A2 (see dashed line in Figure 1) or on the aforementioned narrow portion.
  • the body 3 may have an outer protuberance 24 forming an extension of one of its wings to provide a security feature when the mobile frame 1 is in the tilt opened configuration, constituting an anti burglary system preventing the mobile frame from being lifted from the outside and, at the same time, an internal safety system preventing undesired lifting by a user from the inside.
  • the aforementioned fixing means may consist of screws 13 passing through the body 3 (which has appropriate holes made in the respective wings) and through a slot 21 made in each slider 10, 11 in such a way as to be fixed to locking means 25 (shown by the dashed line in Figure 1) in the bottom F of the channel C.
  • the screws 13 may be fixed directly to the bottom F of the channel C.
  • the basic corner element consisting of body 3 and sliders 10, 11, may be applied to only one corner as a minimum configuration fitted in all tilt/turn doors and windows, but it may also be applied to at least two corners 1c, 1d of the mobile frame 1, or to three corners 1c, 1d, 1e of the mobile frame 1, with suitable additions, such as the pin 16, according to the corner it is applied to, but without further modifications.
  • the pin 16 is added to enable the frame 1 to be automatically locked to the fixed frame in the closed configuration, whereas in the case of the upper corner 1e on the same side as the hinges CR, the pin 16 is not applied because it is not necessary.
  • a corner transmission element made in this way achieves the preset aims thanks to its modular construction whose basic components are always the same and therefore applicable to whichever corner of the frame is necessary.
  • this element also makes it unnecessary to add any additional fastening or operating means on the outside since all that is required is built into the element itself, thus reducing the need for additional assembly operations.
