Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a bearing section bar for a window frame.
  • said metal section bars are used to form a fixed frame and a movable frame which supports a glass pane.
  • the bearing section bar comprises an internal tubular part and an external tubular part provided with a respective abutment fin substantially parallel to sides of the glass.
  • the internal tubular part has a C-shaped channel-like seat inside which the glass-retaining section bar is mounted.
  • the glass-retaining section bar has a cross-section substantially in the shape of a "U” and is provided with a C-shaped channel-like seat which receives the seal engaged with the inner side of the glass.
  • the abutment fin of the external tubular part is provided with another C-shaped channel-like seat which receives the seal engaged with the outer side of the glass.
  • the abutment fin of the internal tubular part engages with the fixed frame.
  • the glass-retaining section bar is located on the inside of the glass and the abutment fin of the external tubular part also performs the function of covering it, so much so that the abutment fin and the glass-retaining section bar have practically the same width.
  • the bearing section bar comprises a tubular part and a longitudinal wall substantially parallel to one side of the glass and connected to the tubular part.
  • the tubular part is provided with a C-shaped channel-like seat which receives the seal engaged with the inner side of the glass.
  • the tubular part is also provided with an abutment fin substantially parallel to the sides of the glass and engaged with the fixed frame.
  • the longitudinal wall is provided with a longitudinal cavity inside which a glass-retaining section bar having a cross-section substantially in the shape of an "I" or "L" is mounted.
  • the glass-retaining section bar projects laterally from the longitudinal wall towards the glass and supports another seal engaged with the outer side of the glass.
  • the glass-retaining section bar is located on the outside the glass and, having a width practically equal to that of the tubular part of the bearing section bar, covers it.
  • the presence of the glass-retaining section bar increases the dimensions of the internal frames of the doors or window frames in the plane of the glass and leaves free an opening for the glass, which has small dimensions.
  • This opening assumes even smaller dimensions when a window with a metal frame is applied to a wooden framework of a pre-existing window. Therefore, the glazed area of the windows made with these frames is limited and penalizes the degree of illumination of the rooms.
  • the main object of the present invention is to provide a bearing section bar for a window frame, which avoids the drawbacks of known section bars.
  • This invention relates to a bearing section bar for a frame of a window having at least one glass pane, said bearing section bar comprising a first tubular part and a longitudinal rib, said first tubular part supporting a first seal which engages with an inner side of said glass, said longitudinal rib supporting a second seal which engages with an outer side of said glass, at least a fastening spring clip being formed by an "L" shaped plate having a first and a second portion which are engaged with said outer side of said glass and, respectively, with said bearing section bar, said fastening spring clip being covered by said second seal, characterized in that said second portion of said "L” shaped plate of said fastening spring clip is provided with inclined lateral fins which press elastically against said bearing section bar and form an elastic support between said glass pane and said section bar.

  • said second seal has a cross-section substantially in the shape of a " ⁇ " and is provided with a shank and with a sealing lip, said shank being housed in a channel-like seat of said longitudinal rib, said sealing lip being engaged with said outer side of said glass and being located on the same side as said shank.
  • said rib is connected to said first tubular part by means of a second tubular part.
  • said second tubular part is integral with said rib and said first tubular part.
  • said second tubular part is integral with said first tubular part, while said rib is connected to said second tubular part, said rib having a foot provided with projections which are inserted into channel-like seats of said second tubular part.
  • said rib is made of insulating material.
  • said rib is connected to said first tubular part by means of a pair of longitudinal bars made of insulating material, said first tubular part being provided with a pair of C-shaped channel-like seats which house first ends of said insulating bars, said rib having a foot provided with a further pair of C-shaped channel-like seats which house second ends of said insulating bars.

  • said first portion of said "L" shaped plate is provided with a hole designed to receive a tool for positioning said spring clip on said glass pane and inserting said second portion in said longitudinal cavity and said tongue in said recess.
  • a window comprising a frame for supporting a glass pane, said frame comprising a bearing section bar comprising a first tubular part and a longitudinal rib connected to said first tubular part, said first tubular part being provided with a first channel-like seat housing a first seal which engages with an inner side of said glass, characterized in that said longitudinal rib supports a second seal which engages with an outer side of said glass, said longitudinal rib being provided with a second channel-like seat housing a shank of said second seal, at least one fastening element being engaged with said outer side of said glass and with said bearing section bar so as to secure them together and being covered by said second seal.
  • said frame has a surface area smaller by about from 20% to 38% than that of a conventional frame.
  • a bearing section bar for a frame of a window having at least one glass pane, said bearing section bar comprising a first tubular part and a longitudinal rib, said first tubular part supporting a first seal which engages with an inner side of said glass, said longitudinal rib supporting a second seal which engages with an outer side of said glass, at least one fastening element consisting of a rigid structure incorporated in said second seal, being engaged with said outer side of said glass and with said bearing section bar, said second seal having a cross-section substantially in the shape of a " ⁇ " and being provided with a shank and a sealing lip, said shank being inserted in a channel-like seat of said rib, said sealing lip being engaged with said outer side of said glass and being located on the same side as said shank, characterized in that said rigid structure is provided with further sealing lips made of elastomeric material and making contact with said glass and has an additional shank inserted in said channel-like seat of said rib.
  • the bearing section bar according to the present invention offers various advantages.
  • the frame obtained therewith has a minimum volume such that it leaves free for the glass an opening of large dimensions.
  • the outer side of the glass is covered only by the seal, while the fastening spring clips are located between the seal and the glass and between the seal and the section bar. Therefore, a large area able to let light through remains free in the glass.
  • the frame obtained with the bearing section bar according to the invention has a metal content less than that of a conventional frame because there is no glass-retaining section bar. This allows its weight to be reduced and the degree of thermal and acoustic insulation of the window to be improved.
  • the fastening spring clip thanks to its lateral elastic fins, is highly capable of being deformed and elastically supporting the glass pane in respect of the bearing section bar.
  • the fastening spring clips have the advantage of allowing to take up and correct possible clearances and tolerances of the dimensions and positioning of the glass pane.
  • the time required for assembly of the frame made with the bearing section bar according to the invention is less than that required for a conventional frame because the operation of cutting and installing the glass-retaining section bar is eliminated.
  • Fig. 1 shows a window 1 with a movable wing, having a fixed frame 2, a movable frame 3, and a glass pane 4 of the double glazing type.
  • the frame 2 comprises a thermally insulated section bar 5 having a configuration substantially in the shape of a "Z".
  • the section bar 5 comprises, in turn, an internal metal section bar element 6, an external metal section bar element 7 and two insulating bars 8 which connect the internal and external metal section bar elements.
