Definitions

  • a frame provided with a drainage system a method for placing a tube in a passage of such a frame as well as a tube suitable for use in such a frame
  • the invention relates to a frame provided with a drainage system, which frame comprises a section provided with at least a plate member, a connecting member extending transversely to the plate member and at least one passage extending through at least one wall of the connecting member in which passage a tube suitable for water drainage is present, the frame is further provided with at least one sealing strip on said plate member.
  • the invention further relates to a method for placing a tube suitable for water drainage into a passage in a frame, which frame comprises a section provided with at least a plate member, a connecting member extending transversely to the plate member and at least one passage extending through at least one wall of the connecting member, the frame is further provided with at least one sealing strip on said plate member.
  • the invention also relates to a tube suitable for use in such a frame.
  • the object of the invention is to provide a frame provided with a drainage system, wherein the frame is relatively compact and water on the wall can be drained therefrom.
  • the sealing strip is located below the connecting member, whilst at least a portion of an upper end of the tube is positioned in the wall to enable water on the wall to flow into the tube and a lower end of the tube extends trough the sealing strip, which upper end of the tube is provided with a fixing element supported on the wall.
  • the sealing strip may be removed at the location of the tube, be pushed aside by the tube or be provided with a passage. Since the upper end of the tube is at least partially positioned in the wall, water that is present on the wall can simply flow into the upper end of the tube and exit the tube again via the lower end thereof.
  • EP-A1-0 911 478 there is known a frame provided with a drainage system in which the drainage system is disposed under two section walls that extend parallel to each other, in which walls openings are present. With the frame, water that finds its way into the frame can flow into the opening in the upper wall and spread in the space between the walls. This is undesirable, because a controlled drainage of water is not possible in this way.
  • the box-shaped drainage system of EP-A1-0 911 478 is relatively voluminous.
  • German patent No. 2157655 a frame is known whereby the section comprises two sealing strips extending parallel to each other.
  • an upper sealing strip abuts against a first window-pane, and a water collecting chamber is present between the first window-pane, the upper sealing strip and the section.
  • the section is provided with a passage extending from the water collecting chamber, in which passage a tube suitable for water drainage is present.
  • the passage as well as the tube terminate on a side remote from the water collecting chamber at a point in front of a lower sealing strip that abuts against a second window-pane.
  • condensation and/or rain water which, in spite of the presence of the upper sealing strip, has nevertheless found its way between the sealing strip and the window-pane, is drained from the water collecting chamber to a space outside the frame. Normally this will be the outer side of a building of which the frame forms part. Since the tube terminates at a point in front of the lower sealing strip, the distance between the second window-pane against which the lower sealing strip abuts and the front side of the section is relatively large.
  • One embodiment of the frame according to the invention is characterized in that the section is provided with a guide located below the connecting member, whilst the passage extends through the guide and the sealing strip is positioned in the guide.
  • the tube is made of a flexible, deformable material, so that the tube can easily adapt to the shape of a space that is available between the section and the window-pane.
  • the tube is originally an elongated tube, which has been provided with a tapered end prior to insertion into the passage, which tapered end is pulled through the passage in use for positioning a tube in the passage, wherein at least the tapered end is subsequently removed from the tube at the location of the sealing strip.
  • the tube can be inserted into the passage in a relatively simple manner by means of the tapered end.
  • a tube having an aperture substantially corresponding to the cross-sectional shape of the passage can be obtained.
  • Yet another embodiment of the frame according to the invention is characterized in that the sealing strip is compressed against spring force by the tube at the location where the tube is present.
  • sealing strip need not be cut through.
  • the advantage of dividing the sealing strip at the location of the tube is that more space is available for the tube.
  • Another embodiment of the frame according to the invention is characterized in that the fixing element is provided with a groove extending along the circumference of the tube at one end thereof, wherein a wall of the section that bounds the passage is positioned in the groove.
  • Another embodiment of the frame according to the invention is characterized in that the tube comprises an elongated opening at least at the location of the sealing strip.
  • Yet another embodiment of the frame according to the invention is characterized in that the tube is provided with a hook- shaped element at an end remote from the sealing strip, which element abuts against a wall that bounds the passage.
  • a relatively narrow end of the tube is moved through the passage until the tube takes up a desired position in the passage, after which the relatively narrow end of the tube is cut off to a desired length, in which desired position a lower end of the tube extends through the sealing strip located below the connecting member, whilst at least a portion of an upper end of the tube is positioned in the wall to enable water on the wall to flow into the tube, which upper end of the tube is provided with a fixing element supported on the wall.
  • the relatively narrow end can be moved through the passage in a simple manner, as a result of which positioning the tube in the passage is relatively easy.
  • By subsequently moving the relatively narrow end through the passage for example by pulling at the relatively narrow end or by pushing down the tube at a side of the tube remote from the relatively narrow end, the tube is passed through the passage in a simple manner.
  • By subsequently cutting off the relatively narrow end of the tube to a desired length a tube having a desired aperture along the entire length thereof is obtained.
  • Another object of the invention is to provide a tube which is suitable for use in a frame according to the invention.
  • the tube is an elongated tube, which has been provided with a first removable tapered end to be pulled in use through a passage in a wall portion of a frame for positioning the tube in the passage and a fixing element at a second end remote from the tapered end
  • the fixing element comprises at least one projection extending substantially transversely to the central axis of the tube, whereby in use the at least one projection is supported on the wall portion of the frame, whilst in use water present on the wall portion will flow on either side of the at least one projection or between two projections into a part of the upper end of the tube that is positioned in the wall portion.
  • Such a tube is relatively easy to manufacture, and it can be placed into a passage of a frame in a relatively simple manner, as already described above.
  • the tube is suitable for use in existing frames, such as the frame that is known from the aforesaid publication DE-2157655 , in which a tube must be placed into a passage that is suitable for water drainage.
  • Figs. IA-LC show in cross-sectional view various steps of the insertion of a tube 1 as shown in Fig. 2 into a frame 2 according to the invention.
  • the frame 2 comprises an aluminium section 3 formed by means of an extrusion process, which comprises an elongated plate member 4, on either longitudinal side of which guides 5,6 are present, in which sealing strips 7,8 (see Fig. 3B ), for example made of a rubber, can be placed. Said sealing strips 7,8 are also called glazing rubbers.
  • the section 3 comprises a connecting member 9 extending transversely to the plate member 4, which plate member 4 is connected to another aluminium section 11 formed by means of an extrusion process via an insulating part 10.
  • the part of the frame 2 as described so far is known per se and will not be explained in more detail, therefore.
  • a passage 13 is formed in the section 3, for example by means of a drill 12, through the lower guide 5 as well as through the member 9 in the direction indicated by the arrow P1.
  • the wall portions 14,15, 16 of the guide 5 and the member 9, respectively, are shown in elevation rather than in sectional view at the location of the passage 13.
  • a number of spaced- apart passages 13 may be formed in the section 3.
  • Fig. 2 shows a tube 1 according to the invention, which comprises a cylindrical portion 22 extending along a central axis 21, which cylindrical portion is provided with a tapered portion 24 at a first end 23 thereof, which tapered portion is provided with a local thickening 25 at an end remote from the cylindrical portion 22.
  • the tube 1 On a side of the tube 1 remote from the first end 23, the tube 1 has a second end 26, which comprises a flared portion 27 as well as a portion 29 provided with a groove 28.
  • the local thickening 25 is inserted into the passage 13 in the wall portion 16 from a side remote from the groove 5, after which the tube 1 is guided far into the passage 13 in the direction indicated by the arrow P2.
  • the tapered portion 24 and the relatively small local thickening 25 make it relatively easy to insert the tube into the passage 13.
  • the tube 1 is positioned in the passage 13 in the guide 5 as well as in the passages 13 in the wall portions 15, 16 with the cylindrical portion 22 thereof.
  • the groove 28 is present in the passage 13, near the wall portion 6, with the wall portion 29 abutting against a side of the wall portion 16 remote from the wall portion 15.
  • the wall portion 29 forms an abutment, so that the tube 1 cannot move any further in the direction indicated by the arrow P2, or only if a relatively large force is exerted thereon.
  • the tube 1 is now cut off by means of a tool, such as a knife 30, at the location of the bottom side 31 of the section 3.
  • a tool such as a knife 30
  • the tube 1 is virtually hidden from view from a side of the section 3 remote from the tube 1.
  • the tube 1 may also be cut off at any other desired position, of course.
  • sealing strips 7, 8 are placed in the guides 5, 6 (see Fig. 3B ).
  • the guide 5 is interrupted at the location of the tube 1, and the sealing strip 7 is only present on either side of the tube 1 in the groove 5.
  • Fig. 3A shows a front elevation of a complete frame 2, a cross-sectional view of which, in the direction indicated by the arrows 11 lb-11 lb, is shown in Fig. 3B .
  • the frame 2 comprises two double window-panes 33, 34, which abut against the sealing strips 7 and 8, respectively.
  • Two aluminium sections 35, 36 formed by means of an extrusion process are furthermore attached to the section 11, which aluminium sections are provided with sealing strips 37, 38, which abut against the window-panes 33, 34 on a side remote from the sealing strips 7.
  • Fig. 3A shows a front elevation of a complete frame 2, a cross-sectional view of which, in the direction indicated by the arrows 11 lb-11 lb, is shown in Fig. 3B .
  • the frame 2 comprises two double window-panes 33, 34, which abut against the sealing strips 7 and 8, respectively.
  • Two aluminium sections 35, 36 formed by means of an extrusion process are furthermore
  • the tube 1 is elastically deformed at the location of the window-pane 33, as a result of which the tube 1 also functions as a seal for the sealing strip 7 that is interrupted at the location of the tube 1. If water penetrates between the sealing strip 8 and the window- pane 34 into a rebate 39 located under the window-pane 34, said water will flow over the wall portion 16 to the upper end of the tube 1 that is positioned in the wall portion 16, and subsequently it will flow out of the rebate 39, in the direction indicated by the arrow P3, via the tube 1. Since the tube 1 is integrated in the sealing strip 7, as it were, the tube 1 does not take up any additional space, as a result of which a relatively compact frame 2 is obtained, which has been provided with a water drainage system in a relatively simple manner.
  • Fig. 4 shows an alternative embodiment of a tube 41 placed in a frame 3, which tube comprises a cylindrical portion 43 provided with circumferential ridges 42.
  • the tube is provided with a plate-shaped element 44 at one end and with a tubular portion 45 at the end remote from said first end, which tubular portion 45 is flanked by two fin- shaped plates 46.
  • the tube 41 is passed through the passages 13 formed in the wall portions 15, 16 in the direction indicated by the arrow P4, with the plate-shaped element 44 serving to guide the tube and to provide a point of application for a pulling force to be exerted on the tube 41.
  • the plate-shaped element 44 serving to guide the tube and to provide a point of application for a pulling force to be exerted on the tube 41.
  • Fig. 5 shows another embodiment of a tube 51 according to the invention, which is provided with a strip 52 that extends transversely to the central axis of the tube 51, forming hooks that are supported on a side of the wall portion 16 remote from the lower end 54.
  • the tube 51 is suspended from the wall portion 16 by means of the hooks 53, as it were.
  • Fig. 6 shows yet another embodiment of a tube 61 according to the invention, which comprises an elongated portion 62, a first end 63 of which is positioned in an elongated passage 13 formed in the section 3 at the location of the guide 5.
  • the tube 61 is provided with elements 64 extending transversely to the central axis of the tube 62, which elements are supported on the wall portion 16.
  • Water present on the wall portion 16 will flow between the elements into the part of the upper end of the tube 61 that is positioned in the wall portion 16.
  • Fig. 7 shows an embodiment of a tube 71 according to the invention, which comprises an elongated portion 72 provided with a number of circumferential ridges 73.
  • the tube 71 is provided with a tapered guide element 74 at a first end, by means of which the tube 71 can be inserted into an elongated passage 13 in the opposite direction of the arrow P2 in a relatively simple manner.
  • the tube 71 On a side remote from the tapered end 74, the tube 71 comprises a portion 75 having a smooth outer wall, which portion is to be cut off. The portion 75 is cut off at the location of the wall portion 15.
  • Fig. 8 shows an embodiment of a tube 81 formed by means of a dip moulding process, which tube corresponds in large measure to the tube 1, except for the fact that the end remote from the local thickening 25 comprises a flared portion 82, which is made of a harder plastic than the rest of the tube 81.
  • Said tube 81 can be inserted into the frame by pulling at the thickening 25 as well as by hammering or pushing down the portion 82.
  • the strengthened portion 82 provides a stronger, tighter connection with the frame.
  • Fig. 9 shows an embodiment of a tube 91 according to the invention, which, seen from a first end 23 thereof, comprises a local thickening 25, a tapered portion 24, an outlet opening 92 formed therein for reasons connected with the injection moulding process, a cylindrical portion 22 provided with ridges 93, a flared portion 27, a groove 28, an annular portion 94 and another flared portion 95.
  • the tube 91 is passed through the passage 13 in the opposite direction of the arrow P2.
