Definitions
- the present invention relates to a window sash construction kit, in particular to a window sash adapted for standardized manufacture, which constitutes a part of a window arranged in a building or a pitched roof.
- a window comprises a frame, a sash, a covering, a pane and other accessories.
- the frame comprises a top frame member, a bottom frame member and two side frame members; and the sash comprises a top sash member, a bottom sash member and two side sash members.
- a window arranged in a building or a pitched roof can meet requirements in use through a combination of said frame and sash with related accessories or parts and the combination of the frame with the sash. Furthermore, with a hinge device mounted in a central or top portion of a frame or a sash, the sash may pivot on an axis arranged in the central or top portion of the frame in an opened state, which are respectively referred to as a centre-hung window and a top-hung window hereinafter.
- window elements particularly the sash and frame
- Structures of the sash, frame and accessories thereof have a crucial effect on types of windows, processing, cost, installation, connection, sealing, waterproof, drain, usage and service, etc.
- An example of one type of window is a centre-hung pivot window comprising a frame structure and a sash structure such as the one known from US 2,632,927 A .
- WO 98/22683 A presents another example of a window with a frame structure and sash structure, this window being particularly for mounting in an inclined roof surface; DE 1 784 712 A1 presents another.
- an exposed sealing groove therefore is generally defined in a joining face of said frame and sash to obtain a sealing between these two parts, and a gasket is embedded in said sealing groove, then fixed. Therefore, although the gasket has been securely fastened by a fixing member, the exposed gasket is still prone to come off due to long term hit and press between the frame or sash and the gasket after the window has been used for a period of time, thereby the sealing between the frame and the sash become loose and the window cannot be normally used.
- parts of the frame and sash should be generally covered from outside by coverings so as to protect wood or other materials in the frame and sash from weathering such as rain, sunshine, wind and snow.
- the coverings for the frame and sash comprise a top covering, side coverings and a bottom covering.
- the sash and the coverings for the sash are mobile both when the sash is opened or closed. Particularly, at the instant that the sash is closed upon the frame, the sash and the coverings get trembled. Since the coverings are screwed directly onto the frame and sash and pressed thereon, and these coverings are generally made of thin metal material, the strength and stability of the sash coverings or the frame is not sufficient. The sash coverings are prone to distortion and slack after the window is used for a period of time.
- An object of the invention is to solve the above problem in the prior art and provide a window sash construction kit adapted for standardized manufacture.
- Another object of the invention is to provide a window sash with an excellent sealing between a window frame and the sash.
- Still another object of the invention is to provide a window sash with a covering of improved strength and little deformation.
- a window sash adapted for standardized manufacture comprises a basic sash frame and extra side plates fastened to outer surfaces of side sash members of the basic sash frame, said basic sash frame consisting of two side sash members, a top sash member and a bottom sash member which cooperatively form a closed sash frame, and said basic sash frame is a standard sash member, while said extra side plates are adapted for different types of windows.
- Said extra side plates may define a sealing groove in a longitudinal direction of the sash frame, and a gasket is received in said sealing groove to seal a gap between a window frame and the window sash.
- the top sash member of said basic sash frame extends upwardly from its rear side to form a rear plate of the top sash member so as to better fit different types of windows.
- Said extra side plate may be so arranged that their top surfaces locate above the top surface of the top sash member and approach a top edge of the rear plate for a top-hung window.
- Said extra side plates may be arranged on the outer surface of the side sash members with upper portions of these extra side plates close to middle regions of these sash members for a centre-hung window.
- a plurality of supports which forms no part of the invention may be arranged on said extra side plates to support side coverings.
- Said supports may define a fixing hole therein for a corresponding side sash covering.
- the sash according to the invention comprises a basic sash frame and extra side plates fastened to side sash members thereof, such that the sash frame is adapted for standardized manufacture and suitable for different types of windows, especially for windows arranged in a building or a pitched roof.
- the extra side plates may be diversely configured for different types of windows. Therefore, a sash of this type may be economically, efficiently and effectively manufactured, while at the same time the installation, usage, service and management thereof is greatly facilitated.
- Figs. 1 and 2 are schematic views showing installation diagrams of a basic sash frame 100 for a centre-hung window and a top-hung window, respectively.
- the basic sash frame 100 may be also used in other types of windows, such as a special window in which the hinge mechanism is arranged at a position between the top portion and central portion of the window.
- the window sash adapted for standardized manufacture comprises a basic sash frame 100 and extra side plates 211, 212 or 211', 212' fixed to the outer surface of side sash members 111, 112 of the sash frame 100.

Abstract
Description
- The present invention relates to a window sash construction kit, in particular to a window sash adapted for standardized manufacture, which constitutes a part of a window arranged in a building or a pitched roof.
- Generally, a window comprises a frame, a sash, a covering, a pane and other accessories. The frame comprises a top frame member, a bottom frame member and two side frame members; and the sash comprises a top sash member, a bottom sash member and two side sash members. When the window is mounted in a building or a pitched roof, the frame is firstly fixed to a wall of the building or the roof, and then the sash with the pane is mounted to the frame, with the covering and other necessary accessories arranged on the frame and sash.
- A window arranged in a building or a pitched roof can meet requirements in use through a combination of said frame and sash with related accessories or parts and the combination of the frame with the sash. Furthermore, with a hinge device mounted in a central or top portion of a frame or a sash, the sash may pivot on an axis arranged in the central or top portion of the frame in an opened state, which are respectively referred to as a centre-hung window and a top-hung window hereinafter.
- As mentioned in the above, window elements, particularly the sash and frame, are quite important. Structures of the sash, frame and accessories thereof have a crucial effect on types of windows, processing, cost, installation, connection, sealing, waterproof, drain, usage and service, etc.
- An example of one type of window is a centre-hung pivot window comprising a frame structure and a sash structure such as the one known from
US 2,632,927 A . -
WO 98/22683 A DE 1 784 712 A1 presents another. - Yet a different type of window is described in
US 2,552,024 A , which concerns a window, in front of which an additional detachable frame-shaped structure framing for instance an insect screen can be mounted. -
DE 12 73 366 concerns a pivot window comprising hinge mountings with somewhat plate-shaped fixation parts. - Different sash structures and different frame structures are needed for different types of windows. For example, the structures of the frame and sash of a centre-hung window are different from that of a top-hung window due to different hinge installation positions, resulting in difficulties in production and installation of frames and sashes, thus leading to an increased cost. For examples, in a Chinese patent application
CN99807099 (Publication No. 1304474) titled "a roof window with a main frame and frame coverings", the structures of sashes and frames of different windows are different from each other so that these members must be separately manufactured, thus it is impossible to carry out a standardized manufacture. - A need therefore exists to realize a combination of economy, efficiency and effectiveness during production of a window, while, at the same time, the window elements should be easy to manufacture and assemble.
- Next, since a sash is mounted to a frame, an exposed sealing groove therefore is generally defined in a joining face of said frame and sash to obtain a sealing between these two parts, and a gasket is embedded in said sealing groove, then fixed. Therefore, although the gasket has been securely fastened by a fixing member, the exposed gasket is still prone to come off due to long term hit and press between the frame or sash and the gasket after the window has been used for a period of time, thereby the sealing between the frame and the sash become loose and the window cannot be normally used.
- Also, parts of the frame and sash should be generally covered from outside by coverings so as to protect wood or other materials in the frame and sash from weathering such as rain, sunshine, wind and snow. The coverings for the frame and sash comprise a top covering, side coverings and a bottom covering.
- The sash and the coverings for the sash are mobile both when the sash is opened or closed. Particularly, at the instant that the sash is closed upon the frame, the sash and the coverings get trembled. Since the coverings are screwed directly onto the frame and sash and pressed thereon, and these coverings are generally made of thin metal material, the strength and stability of the sash coverings or the frame is not sufficient. The sash coverings are prone to distortion and slack after the window is used for a period of time.
- The solution of increasing covering thickness, improving covering structure or replacing covering material will greatly increase the cost and also have a certain effect on manufacture and processing, etc.
- An object of the invention is to solve the above problem in the prior art and provide a window sash construction kit adapted for standardized manufacture.
- Another object of the invention is to provide a window sash with an excellent sealing between a window frame and the sash.
- Still another object of the invention is to provide a window sash with a covering of improved strength and little deformation.
- According to an aspect of the invention, a window sash adapted for standardized manufacture comprises a basic sash frame and extra side plates fastened to outer surfaces of side sash members of the basic sash frame, said basic sash frame consisting of two side sash members, a top sash member and a bottom sash member which cooperatively form a closed sash frame, and said basic sash frame is a standard sash member, while said extra side plates are adapted for different types of windows.
- Said extra side plates may define a sealing groove in a longitudinal direction of the sash frame, and a gasket is received in said sealing groove to seal a gap between a window frame and the window sash.
- The top sash member of said basic sash frame extends upwardly from its rear side to form a rear plate of the top sash member so as to better fit different types of windows.
- Said extra side plate may be so arranged that their top surfaces locate above the top surface of the top sash member and approach a top edge of the rear plate for a top-hung window.
- Said extra side plates may be arranged on the outer surface of the side sash members with upper portions of these extra side plates close to middle regions of these sash members for a centre-hung window.
- A plurality of supports, which forms no part of the invention may be arranged on said extra side plates to support side coverings.
- Said supports may define a fixing hole therein for a corresponding side sash covering.
- The sash according to the invention comprises a basic sash frame and extra side plates fastened to side sash members thereof, such that the sash frame is adapted for standardized manufacture and suitable for different types of windows, especially for windows arranged in a building or a pitched roof. The extra side plates may be diversely configured for different types of windows. Therefore, a sash of this type may be economically, efficiently and effectively manufactured, while at the same time the installation, usage, service and management thereof is greatly facilitated.

Figs. 1 and2 are schematic views showing installation diagrams of abasic sash frame 100 for a centre-hung window and a top-hung window, respectively. Thebasic sash frame 100 may be also used in other types of windows, such as a special window in which the hinge mechanism is arranged at a position between the top portion and central portion of the window. The window sash adapted for standardized manufacture comprises abasic sash frame 100 andextra side plates side sash members 111, 112 of thesash frame 100. Saidbasic sash frame 100 consists of twoside sash members 111, 112, a topsash member 113 and a bottomsash member 114, with all sash members coupled together to form a closed frame structure. Thebasic sash frame 100 is a standard member of a sash. Although two different types of windows are shown inFigs 1 and2 , respectively, the samebasic sash frame 100 is adopted in both windows. - The
extra side plates Fig. 1 and the extra side plates 211', 212' inFig. 2 are non-standard parts and have different lengths and different top structures, suitable for different types of windows. - Each of the
extra side plates groove 231 in a longitudinal direction of thebasic sash frame 100, and agasket 231 is received in the sealinggroove 231 to seal a gap between a window frame and the window sash. - Two
side sash members 111, 112, thetop sash member 113 and thebottom sash member 114 are coupled together to form an integral structure of thebasic sash frame 100. Thetop sash member 113 extends upwardly from its rear side to form arear plate 115 of the top sash member so as to better fit different types of windows while reducing non-standard parts as much as possible and simplifying structures of these non-standard parts. For example, only one extratop element 213, which is a non-standard part, is needed for a top-hung window, and thetop element 213 can be of simple structure, i.e. nothing but a piece of top plate. The detailed structure of thetop element 213 will be described hereinafter. - Referring to
Fig. 2 in conjunction withFig. 3 , the extra side plates 211', 212' are so arranged that their top surfaces are located above the top surface of thetop sash member 113 and approach a top edge of therear plate 115. Such a sash is hinged in a top region of a window frame. - In the centre-hung window of
Fig.1 , theextra side plates side sash members 111, 112 with upper portions of these extra side plates close to middle regions of these sash members. Materials may be saved with this design. Such a sash is hinged in a middle region of a window frame. - Referring to

For a centre-hung window, when theside plates side sash member 111, 112 is exposed, the sealing between the exposed sash and the frame may be carried out by another gasket arranged in a corresponding position of the frame. Thehinge 400 has an unfavorable effect on the sealing between the sash and the frame in this region. Thegasket 300 in the sealinggroove 231 can yield a wider sealing when theupper end portion 232 of theside plates hinge 400. In other words, sealing between the sash and frame in the hinge region is improved when theupper end portion 232 of theside plates hinge 400. - The cutout defined in the
upper end portion 232 of theside plate straight portion 233 at the upper end of theextra side plate hinge 400 and theside sash member 111, 112, resulting in a satisfactory sealing between the sash and the frame in the hinge region. - Referring to
Figs. 1 and2 in conjunction withFigs. 5 and8 , aring sealing groove 118 is provided around the outer surface of thebasic sash frame 100 so as to provide an overall sealing between the sash and the frame. - With the
ring sealing groove 118, aring sealing flange 116 is formed along the periphery of thebasic sash frame 100. Thering sealing groove 118 extends from the outer surface of thesash frame 100 toward the inside thereof, and thering sealing flange 116 overlays therear plate 115 of the top sash member. - On the outer surface of the
side frame members 111, 112, side walls of thering sealing flange 116 are vertically arranged, and thestraight flange 233 ofupper end portion 232 of theextra side plates hinge 400 and a side wall of thering sealing flange 116. - At the bottom of each
extra side plates groove 231 is provided (Fig. 4 ). The opening of the sealinggroove 231 faces a side wall of thering sealing flange 116, and agasket 300 is received within the sealinggroove 231. Therefore, thegasket 300 is sandwiched between the extra side plate and the side frame member, such that the deformation and breaking-off of thegasket 300 are prevented even though the sash is opened and closed many times. - The sealing
groove 231 in eachextra side plate - The
extra side plates extra side plate side frame member 111, 112 of thebasic sash frame 100 by fasteners such as screws. - In
Figs. 2 and3 , there are two symmetric extra side plates, i.e.plates side frame members 111, 112 of thebasic sash member 100, respectively. - In the top-hung window of
Fig. 2 , atop plate 213 is connected between top ends of the extra side plates 211', 212' to facilitate mounting of various components or accessories which are necessary for the top portion of the sash, for example, a hinge mechanism secured in the top portion of the sash.Top plate 213 is coupled to therear plate 115 and two extra side plates 211', 212', respectively, through a lap joint or scarf joint, which improves the structural performance of the sash as a whole. - Referring to
Figs. 3 and5 , a horizontal step 117 is provided at the upper front portion of therear plate 115 of the top sash member so that it may be coupled to thetop plate 213 through a lap joint, and anotherhorizontal step 214 is correspondingly provided at the rear portion of thetop plate 213 so that it may be coupled to therear plate 115 through a lap joint. - As shown in
Fig. 3 , steps correspondingly coupled to said side plates 211', 212' may be provided on thetop plate 213 at both sides so as to engage the inner straight surfaces of the extra side plates 211', 212' through a lap joint, respectively. Alternatively, thetop plate 213 may be formed with two straight side faces, which can engage steps arranged on the inner surfaces of the extra side plates 211', 212' through a lap joint, respectively. - The
top plate 213 forms a favourable integral structure with therear plate 115 and side plates 211', 212', respectively, through a lap joint or scarf joint, thereby forming an integral sash with thebasic sash member 100 and other necessary accessories. Of course, thetop plate 213, therear plate 115 and the side plates 211', 212' may form an integral structure by other connecting means. - In
Fig. 5 , two L-shapedhinge fixtures 410 are respectively fastened to two ends of thetop plate 213 by screws. One leg of an L-shapedhinge fixture 410 is secured to the top surface of thetop plate 213 by screw, and the other leg is secured to outer surface of the extra side plate 212', thereby the L-shapedhinge fixture 410 may connect thetop plate 213 with the extra side plates 211', 212', and a hinge mechanism for sash rotation may be mounted thereon. - The L-shaped
hinge fixture 410 defines a plurality of fixingholes pivot shaft 413 coupled to the hinge mechanism is provided on the upper side surface of the L-shapedhinge fixture 410. - A plurality of supports, which form no part of the invention to support a side sash covering is arranged on both extra side plates to reinforce the side covering and prevent damage or deformation at edges of the side sash covering. Of course, the supports may also be provided on the bottom sash member to support the bottom sash covering, or be provided on the frame to support the frame covering, if necessary. The supports are not shown in
Fig. 1 . -
Fig. 8 is a cross-sectional view showing left extra side plate 211', left side sash member 111 and correspondingly assembled frame, covering and pane. - Referring to
Figs. 2 ,8 and9 , the side plate 211' is provided with a plurality ofsupports 600 to support the side sash covering 511. Thesupport 600 may be made of non-metal materials and may be fixed to or embedded in the extra side plate 211'. In this case, thesupport 600 defines a fixinghole 611 for a corresponding side sash covering 511. A screw passes through the side sash covering 511 and fixes the covering to thesupport 600. - Each
support 600 comprises afirst portion 610 and asecond portion 620 which are integrally joined, so that thesupport 600 may perform better and may be arranged on the extra side plate 211' more conveniently (the extra side plate and the side member of the basic sash frame may be referred to as a side sash frame or a sash frame as a whole). A top surface of thefirst portion 610 is used as the supporting surface for the side covering 511, while the fixinghole 611 is opened from the top surface of thefirst portion 610 and extends into thesecond portion 620. - Referring to
Figs. 9-12 , which schematically show the structure of the support, thesupport 600 is provided withpositioning pins support 600 can be readily and firmly secured on the extra side plate 211'. It is understood that thesupport 600 may be attached by other means, such as a single positioning pin on the support, or a positioning block, or screws, etc. Respective positioning holes corresponding to these positioning pins 621, 622 are provided on the extra side plate 211'. Only onepositioning pin 621 is schematically shown inFig. 8 , while theother positioning pin 622 is not shown. - The positioning pins 621, 622 are arranged on an
inner end surface 623 of thesecond portion 620. Saidinner end surface 623 is a plane which snugly fits on an outer surface of the extra side plate such that thesupport 600 is more stable, and thus thesupport 600 may be firmly attached to the extra side plate while the supported side covering 511 may be steadily held, thereby the stability of the sash as a whole is improved. The positioning pins 621, 622 are perpendicularly arranged oninner end surface 623 of thesecond portion 620. - The outer surface of the
positioning pin 621 is provided with a plurality of umbrella-shaped frustum of acone 624, with thefrustum cone 624 tapering in an insertion direction of the positioning pin so that thepositioning pin 621 may be readily secured in the positioning hole of the extra side plate 211' or side sash member. This facilitates an insertion of thepositioning pin 620 while preventing thepositioning pin 621 from moving outward and getting loosed. Such an effect is especially obvious when a screw exerts upon the fixinghole 611. - The positioning pin has a substantially crisscross section. Each of the four
flanges 625 of the crisscross forms atapering section 626. Such a design is also advantageous for an insertion of thepositioning pin 622 and further may prevent thepositioning pin 622 from rotating in a circumference direction. This advantageous effect is also obvious when a screw exerts upon the fixinghole 611. - The
support 600 comprises two of said positioning pins 621, 622, which are respectively diagonally arranged oninner end surface 623 of thesecond portion 620, so as to effectively prevent thesupport 600 from rotating, improve stability of theside coverings 511 and increase the solidity of the integral structure of the sash. For example, when the sash is rotated to open or close, particularly when the sash is closed with respect to the frame, the support tends to move or sway upon vibration due to rotating of the sash and contact vibration between the sash and frame; furthermore, thesupport 600 tends to sway under non-even stress when the screws are forced into thesupport 600 since thesupport 600 is screw-fastened with the side covering 511. Arrangement of two positioningpins support 600 from loosing, and may result in uniformly distributed stress on thesupport 600. - The
second portion 620 further defines a rod-shapedreinforcement portion 628 on theouter end surface 627 thereof to improve the structural strength of thesupport 600. The fixinghole 611 of thesupport 600 extends into saidreinforcement portion 628. Atriangular rib 629 is arranged between the outer end surface of thereinforcement portion 628 of thesecond portion 620 and theouter end surface 612 of the bottom surface of thefirst portion 610, so as to improve the structural strength of thesupport 600 as a whole. - The inner end surface 613 of the bottom surface of the
first portion 610 is pressed against the front face of the extra side plate 211' tightly, while theouter end surface 612 of the bottom surface of thefirst portion 610 hangs over the extra side plate 211'. Thus, thesupport 600 may carry out various functions such as positioning, fixing and supporting, and the overall structure thereof is simple and compact. - The inner end surface of the bottom surface of the
first portion 610 has an inclined edge to facilitate connecting with the side sash covering and side sash member. - An inclined surface is provided between the inner end surface of the bottom surface of the
first portion 610 and the inner end surface of thesecond portion 620 to engage with the side sash member, so as to facilitate connection between the side sash covering and the side sash member. - A support for a window covering, which forms no part of the invention, is characterized in that said support comprises a support body, wherein a fixing hole for connection with a corresponding side sash covering and at least one positioning pin for connection with a window frame or sash member are defined in the support body.
