Definitions

  • the present invention relates to any door-type opening, French door or the like, comprising a lock with a metal headrest, embedded in a thermal break profile having an outer profile, a thermally conductive inner profile by definition. , essentially metallic, and insulating connecting means for a rigid connection between said inner and outer sections.
  • FIG. 1 represents a cross-section of a door jamb 1, comprising a lock 2 provided with a metal headrest 3 embedded in a profile 4. thermal break with an outer profile 5, an inner profile 6 and insulating connecting means 7, 8 for a rigid connection between the inner and outer profiles 6 and 6.
  • the lock 2 is embedded in the opening 9, and the bolt 10 of the lock 2 is provided to be housed in a striker 11 of the frame 12.
  • the lock 2 is fixed in the section 4 via its headrest 3 by means of screws 13, generally two screws, whose head is embedded in the thickness of the headrest, engaged in an insulating strip 7 as shown, due to the substantially central position of the lock and the insulating connecting means 7, 8 constituting the thermal break.
  • Such an assembly has an essential disadvantage in that the metal headrest restores a local thermal bridge between the outer profile 5 and the inner profile 6.
  • a second major disadvantage of the assembly described above lies in the fact that the fixing of the lock 2 falls into the area of the thermal bridge breaking means of the section 4 in which it is embedded, which does not give this attachment the best qualities because these means remain weak in front of the profiles 5, 6 themselves.
  • Such an opening eliminates the thermal bridge created by a headrest attached to the outer and inner profiles of the thermal break profile, but has a major drawback which is to proceed to the fixing of the lock on parts whose resistance is weak because of their insulating function, usually plastic parts. Thus, such a solution is not satisfactory from a point of view of the mechanical strength.
  • such an opening minimizes the insulating means assuming the function of thermal break in the fastening area of the headrest by decreasing the distances separating the inner and outer metal parts in this zone. Hence a decrease in the performance of thermal break in the area of the headrest.
  • the insulating means connecting the inner and outer metal profiles of a thermal break profile are made of a polyamide material filled with glass fibers to provide insulation performance and mechanical strength. Loading the fiber material reduces the insulation performance, further weakening the insulation in the headrest area according to this document. Thus, such a solution is also not satisfactory from a thermal insulation point of view.
  • the proposed assembly according to the invention makes it possible to guarantee the continuity of the thermal bridge break in the fastening zone of the lock.
  • the interposition of the insulating support means between the headrest and the thermal break profile establishing a thermally insulating connection between the two inner and outer profiles, mounting the lock allows to benefit from the solid support on the outer and inner profiles of the thermal break profile.
  • the solution according to the application examined makes it possible to maintain the thermal insulation qualities in the fastening zone of the headrest, by dissociating the insulating support means interposed between the headrest and the thermal break profile of a on the one hand, and the insulating connecting means for a rigid connection between the said inner and outer sections on the other hand.
  • the insulating support means interposed between the headrest and the thermal break profile can thus be made of a plastic material different from that constituting the insulating connecting means for a rigid connection between the inner and outer profiles, for example a material unloaded plastic, therefore more efficient in terms of thermal insulation than the same plastic material loaded with fibers.
  • the fastening means of the lock via said headrest comprise means engaged on at least one of the outer and inner profiles of the thermal break profile.
  • This characteristic advantageously makes it possible to avoid a fastening in engagement with the insulating means of the thermal break profile generally less resistant than the essentially metallic outer and inner profiles of the thermal break profile.
  • This feature advantageously allows a height adjustment of the lock, particularly with respect to the corresponding part thereof fixed for example in the frame of the opening.
  • the insulating support means cooperate with the positioning means of the lock, in order to provide a means for adjusting the position of the lock along said thermal break profile, establishing a thermally insulating connection between the two inner and outer profiles of the thermal break profile, regardless of the position of the lock relative to the latter.
  • the insulating support means are integral with the means for positioning the lock, and sliding along the thermal break profile with the latter.
  • the rigid connection means of said lock positioning means along the thermal break profile include at least one screw-nut connection, imparting a rigid connection by adhesion of the lock along the profile. thermal break.
  • At least one of the elements of said screw-nut type connection is connected to the thermal break profile according to a link comprising a degree of freedom in translation along the length of the thermal break profile.
  • said at least one of the elements of said screw-nut type connection is a nut adopting a flange shape, trapped in a groove of the thermal break profile, and movable in it along the profile. .
  • the insulating support means and the fastening means of the lock via said headrest cooperate with each other so as to allow simultaneous displacement of the insulating support means, means for fixing the headrest, and the lock, to allow adjustment of the position of the lock along the thermal break profile.
  • said at least one of the elements of said screw-nut connection is integral with said lock positioning means. via an interlocking connection comprising at least one degree of freedom in translation in the axis of the screw-nut type connection.
  • said profile with thermal break is a constituent section of the opening of the opening.
  • the door-type opening 101 opens from the inside to the outside, the reverse can be applied indifferently to the invention.
  • the lock 102 has been symbolically represented by a single bulk volume embedded in the rectangular section profile 104 in the top view of FIG. 2.
  • the lock 102 will adopt any suitable conventional form and recessed into the section 104, and the housing provided for this purpose in this profile will be made so as not to restore, in the recessed portion of the lock, a thermal bridge between the outer profiles 105 and 106 inside.
  • the headrest 103 is integral with the lock 102 and allows the fixing of the latter on the section 104 via at least one hole 122, preferably two holes 122, made in the headrest, as shown in Figure 2.
  • the fixed part of the frame of the opening 101 is represented by a fixed section with a thermal break constituting the frame 112.
  • the frame 112 will be provided with a keeper (not shown) appropriate in any known manner, preferably ensuring a continuity of the thermal bridge break on the frame, to accommodate the bolt 110 of the lock 102.
  • the movable portion of the frame of the opening 101 is represented by the movable section 104 with a thermal break constituting the opening 109.
  • the profile 104 is a profile of a type known in FIG. its assembly in that it comprises two bars 107 and 108 for the thermal break between the outer profile 105 and the inner profile 106, the bar 107 closest to the field of the opening being called an outer bar and the bar 108 farthest from the field of the inner barrette opening.
  • the profile 104 has features in connection with the invention which will be described later.
  • the fastening means 115 of the lock 102 via the headrest 103 advantageously comprise means engaged on each of the outer profiles 105 and inner 106 of the profile 104 thermal break, as will be explained later.
  • the positioning means 117 of the lock 102 adopt, for example, the shape of a profile 120, as represented in FIG. 3, made of a rigid insulating material, for example a plastics material, whose transverse section adopts a general U shape.
  • the upper parts of the two branches of the U respectively having a longitudinal shoulder 119 extending laterally towards the outside of the U to serve as support means 116 of the headrest 103 of the lock 102, the headrest 103 thus being advantageously embedded between the branches of the U, in the upper part thereof, as shown in Figure 2.
  • the upper portions of the two branches of the U profile 120 respectively comprise a lower longitudinal shoulder 121 extending laterally outwardly of the U , facing the upper shoulders 119 respectively, in order to provide a support of the profile 120, and as a result of the lock 102 , on each of the profiles 105 and 106 of the section 104 thermal break.
  • the base of the U formed by the profile 120 is embedded between the outer profile 105 and inner 106, and the profile 120 is thus advantageously guided in translation between them.
  • the profile 120 will be provided with an opening 123 of sufficient size for the passage of the recessed portion in the profile of the lock 102; it is not necessary to leave play between the lock 102 and the opening 123 because the profile 120 moves with the lock 102 along the section 104 to thermal break within the free space left by the opening made in the outer bar 107 of the latter, the latter opening being made so as to allow adjustment of the position of the lock if necessary.
  • the lock can be centered in the profile 120 either between the upper parts of the branches of the U, or in the opening 123 made in the profile 120.
  • the insulating support means 116 cooperate with the positioning means 117 of the lock 102, in order to provide a means for adjusting the position of the lock 102 along the section 104 with a thermal break, establishing a connection thermally insulating between the two inner profiles 106 and outer 105 of the profile 104 thermal break, regardless of the position of the lock 102 relative thereto.
  • the longitudinal fields of the headrest 103 are advantageously bordered by the upper parts of the branches of the U of the profile 120 to ensure good thermal insulation and possibly as mentioned above, a lateral positioning of the lock 102.
  • the means of insulating supports 116 are in the example shown, secured to the positioning means 117 of the lock 102, and thus sliding along the section 104 to thermal break with them.
  • the rigid connection means 118 of the positioning means 117 of the lock 102 along the thermal break profile 104 advantageously comprise at least one connection 124 of screw-nut type, preferably at least two links 124 placed at the two ends of the headrest 103 respectively, conferring a complete rigid connection by adhesion of the lock 102 along the section 104 thermal break, as will be explained below.
  • One of the elements of the two connections 124 of the screw-nut type, for example the nuts 125, is connected to the section 104 thermal break in a link having a degree of freedom in translation along the length of the profile.
  • degree of freedom in translation here is meant a possibility of displacement in translation of the nuts 125 along the section 104 before the lock 102 is fixed, that is to say before the nuts 125 are tightened, which, once tightened, are fixed rigidly to the profile 104.
  • the nuts 125 adopt for this purpose each for example a U-shaped flange, fitting locally on the base of the U formed by the profile 120 and outside thereof, as shown in Figures 2 and 3, the nuts 125 being trapped in a groove 126 of the section 104 thermal break, and movable in it along the section 104.
  • the groove 126 is advantageously formed by two notches in vis- in-screw made respectively in the outer profiles 105 and 106 inside the profile, so that each of the profiles 105 and 106 is caught between the profile 120, more precisely the lower shoulders 121 of the latter, and the end portions of the branches of each U-shaped flange nut 125.
