Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a corner joint for sections of door and window frames.
  • the joint in question is intended to be used mainly in the sector relating to the production of wooden door and window frames or accessories for door and window frames, in particular for rigidly fixing together two sections of a frame along the joining plane.
  • the frame of a door or window which may or may not be associated with cladding mouldings made of metal or PVC, usually consists of several wooden sections the ends of which are fixed in pairs at the corners of the frame, by means of a corner joint provided with suitable connection means.
  • the sections thus assembled in the form of a surrounding frame may form either a casement, intended to be inset in a brickwork wall, or a leaf of a door or a window and, in this latter case, usually delimit a glazed surface.
  • connection means mentioned above may be, in accordance with the known art, of various types and for example envisage providing on the joining face of a first section several shaped projections alternating with recesses which are able to mate with corresponding recesses and projections provided on the joining face of the other section.
  • the sections may be connected together at 90°, i.e. with a first section in contact laterally on the other one, or at 45°, i.e. with an inclined common face.
  • connection means consisting of wedges or pins provided with widened portions, generally in the form of a dovetail, which can be inserted into seats formed on either side of the joining plane and provided with an undercut inside which the widened portions of the pins grip so as to retain rigidly together the two sections of the frame.
  • the pins are inserted transversely with respect the plane defined by the surrounding window or door frame, while according to the teaching of FR 1,175,665 , the pins are inserted parallel to the plane of the surrounding window or door frame.
  • the joining face may be provided with further coupling or centring elements usually consisting of cylindrical pins and corresponding seats formed in the opposite faces of the two frame parts to be joined together.
  • the object of the present invention is to eliminate the drawbacks of the prior art mentioned above, by providing a corner joint for sections of door and window frames, which ensures an optimum seal against atmospheric agents.
  • Another object of the present invention is to provide a corner joint which is able to fix rigidly together the sections of a door or window frame.
  • Another object of the present invention is to provide a corner joint which is operationally entirely effective and reliable.
  • a further object of the present invention is to provide a corner joint which is simple and inexpensive to manufacture.
  • a further object of the present invention is to provide a corner joint which is not aesthetically impaired by the presence of the line joining together the two faces of the sections of the door and window frames.
  • 1 denotes overall the corner joint for sections of door and window frames according to the invention.
  • This joint is intended for the assembly of wooden sections of any type and any shape in order to form wooden door and window frames suitable in particular for cladding with aluminium or PVC mouldings.
  • the corner joint 1 comprises in a manner conventional per se a first and a second section, indicated by 2 and 3, which are usually joined together in accordance with the known art by means of fixing means 4 along the respective joining faces 2', 3' of the sections.
  • the frame which is thus obtained usually has the form of a quadrangular surrounding frame formed by two uprights and two crosspieces which define a plane of lie.
  • This plane is that in which the door or window frame is arranged and comprises an inner side and an outer side.
  • the fixing means 4 comprise a pair of first openings 5, 6 which are formed in opposite positions on the two faces 2', 3' of the two sections 2, 3 so as to form a seat 7 which extends on either side of the joining plane of the sections and which is able to receive a pin 8 which is shaped so as to match the seat 7 and positioned so as to connect together the said sections 2, 3.
  • the joint 1 also comprises a connection element 9 which is arranged between the two sections 2, 3 along the joining plane and has second openings 10 positioned opposite and as a continuation of the first openings 2, 3.
  • the number of pairs of first openings 5, 6 (and corresponding second openings 10) and the type of fixing means 4 associated with the said first openings 5, 6 for fastening together the two sections 2, 3 may vary depending on the constructional requirements of the frame.
  • fixing means 4 Some preferred embodiments of fixing means 4 will be described below.
  • connection element 9 substantially consists of a plate which is preferably made of plastic material and which is shaped in the manner of the profile of the joining faces 2', 3', except for the area occupied by the second openings 10.
  • connection element 9 has a first portion 11, which is preferably made of rigid plastic material, such as for example a high-strength ABS synthetic resin, having a perimetral edge 12 able to remain visible along an outer peripheral section thereof, once the frame is completely prepared and assembled.
  • the example according to Figures 1-3 relates to the frame of a leaf having a first side F1 (Figure 2) intended to receive a cladding with aluminium sections, able to face the external environment, and a second side F2 (Figure 1) intended to face the inside of the building.
  • the edge 12 of the connection element will therefore in this case be advantageously visible in the side F2 of the frame.
  • connection element has a second portion 13 which forms one piece with the first portion and is for example obtained by means of co-moulding and which is resiliently yielding under the compressive force exerted by the fixing means 4.
  • the resilient reaction of this second portion allows the sealing effect between the two sections 2, 3 between which the element 9 is arranged to be increased.
  • the first portion extends over the entire area of the connection element forming the support core on which the second portion is co-moulded.
  • connection element 9 has, fixed thereon, two pairs of cylindrical pins 14 which project from its faces 15, 16 in opposite directions so as to be inserted with grip inside corresponding blind holes 17 formed in the faces of the two sections 2, 3.
  • cylindrical is understood as meaning the shape of any solid form which has a side surface with parallel generatrix lines, even though not delimiting the cylinder commonly known as a straight cylinder.
  • each first opening 5, 6 is shaped in the manner of a groove, which extends in a direction X parallel to the joining face of the section 2, 3 from its outer perimeter and extends inside the said section 2, 3 from its face with a widened portion able to define an undercut 18.
  • the seat 7 obtained from the first grooves 5, 6 thus formed receives a correspondingly shaped pin 8 with solid flanges 19 which widen in the form of a wedge from the middle section so as to be gripped in the undercuts 18 of the grooves 5, 6 and thus keep the sections 2, 3 joined together.
  • the pins 8 are inserted in seats 7 which extend in directions X transverse to the plane of lie of the frame.
  • the joint 1 according to the second example of embodiment shown in Figures 6, 7a and 7b is provided with a single pin 8 which is inserted inside the seat 7 parallel to the plane of lie in a direction indicated by X'.
  • insertion is performed from the outside of the frame towards the inside.
  • the seats are blind and do not affect the side of the section opposite to the starting side from which they extend.
  • the ends 8' and 8 " of the pin 8 are arranged inside transverse holes 20 formed in internally hollow and threaded cylindrical bushes 21 inserted inside channels 22 formed in the respective sections 2, 3.
  • the said ends 8' and 8'' of the pin 8 are provided with elongated eyelets 23 in the direction of extension of the pins 8. These eyelets 23 are situated at a relative distance from each other able to ensure that their engagement with suitable grub screws 24, screwed into the internal thread of the bushes 21, forces the pin 8 to move the two sections 2, 3 towards each other.
  • the pin 8 has the form of a circular ring and is inserted inside annular grooves 5, 6 formed by means coring on the joining faces of the sections and defining a pair of cylindrical shapes 25.
  • the pin 8 is provided internally with a through-cavity 27 which tapers from the ends towards the middle section so as to define a double conicity.
  • the abovementioned cavity 27 is passed through by a screw 28 and by a nut screw 29, which both have an elongated shape, which are inserted inside holes formed in the respective sections 2, 3 and which, mating with each other, force with the head 30 the pin 8 to expand its grip inside the seat 8, thereby mechanically retaining and fastening together the two sections 2, 3.
  • the invention thus conceived therefore achieves the predefined objects.
