Description

The Related Art

The invention relates to heat insulated door and window system, which is capable of the angular turning without thermal break profiles and adjustable.

Background of the Related Art

From the existing status of the related art, angular turning joints of the heat insulated door and window systems in planar plane is realized by means of

use of corner turning profiles at fixed angles such as 90º, 135º with thermal break profiles (combined with rigid heat insulation material, door or window turning profiles in a rigid manner mechanically) or
use of corner turning profiles at fixed angles such as 90º, 135º without thermal break profiles (not having heat insulation material between door and window turning profiles) or
Use of corner turning profiles with thermal break profiles at adjustable angles.

The disadvantages of turning profiles mounted at fixed angles when compared to adjustable turning profiles are that it is unlikely to eliminate the disadvantages arising from the building construction tolerances, fenestration production tolerances, fenestration assembling tolerances and angular disadvantages from planar plane at the site pursuant to the project. In addition, it is not likely to change the angle between any two fenestrations in planar lane for any reason when desired. The corner turning profiles without thermal break profiles mounted at fixed angles decrease the heat insulation in corner zones of the two thermally insulated fenestrations.
The mounting types of the heat insulated or without heat insulation mounted at fixed angles are made in two different ways.

1. turning profiles mounted between two fenestrations,
2. turning profiles, which is the center guide profile for that fenestration at the same time.

Mounting of the turning profiles of the first fenestration, which is the center guide profile at the same time for that fenestration, requires T connection parts in order to assemble it to the second fenestration. In regard to turning profiles mounted between two frames of the fenestration, the first fenestration is mounted to the building and the second is sat into its place and mounted, and the turning profile is only fixed to two fenestrations by means of screws.
It is not possible to use the same turning profile for the inward opening and outward opening of the thermally insulated fenestration systems, when turning profiles includes the thermal break profiles and it is adjustable for the assembling angle. In addition, the heat insulation zones at the corners, in such types of applications, particularly at 90 degrees, are damaged and such zones constitute poor zones in terms of heat insulation.
In the literature, one of the patents related to the subject is the patent application no GB2194274 . The present invention relates to a corner piece, of variable arcuate extent, for windows, comprises an extruded profiled bar composed of two hinged sections each comprising a substantially planar portion extending away from the hinge, and arcuate overlapping portions. In said application; turning profiles are produced separately for different angles and widths.
The assembling of two fenestrations in a certain angle gets more difficult due to the variable turning profiles, when we observed the assembling method of the adjustable and heat insulated turning profiles.

Purpose of the Invention

From the status of the related art, the purpose of the invention is to develop a heat insulated door and window system wherein heat insulated two fenestrations are combined easily at adjustable angles in planar plane, wherein turning profiles do not have mounting difficulties comparing the turning profiles mounted at fixed angels, wherein heat insulated two fenestrations provide heat insulation at corner zones at joints of any angle, wherein heat insulated two fenestrations allow use of the same corner profile for inward and/or outward opening embodiment, wherein corner turning profiles which can fixed or be remained movable at related angles when required.
Another purpose of the invention is to provide joining of heat insulated two fenestrations at adjustable angles in planar plane. Furthermore, it is aimed to compensate the angular faults seen in the site due to capability of the internal and external cover profiles on each other and at the same time internal and external joint profiles movement on each other and/or inside.
Another purpose of the invention is to provide heat insulation without failure in heat insulation line at all adjustable angles in corner zones by using additional heat insulation material.
A further purpose of the invention is to enable inward and/or outward direction of vents opening by means of mounting with help of guiding the turning inner and outer joint profiles to both fenestration profile outer part and inner part and at the same time inner and outer cover profile to both fenestration profile outer part and inner part.
Another purpose of the invention is to obtain a heat insulated window and door system convertible into fixed turning profiles at related angles when required and having variable angle at corner turning profiles with the capability of fixing the inner and outer joint profiles at the beginning and ending points of the adjustable angle inside each other.
A further purpose of the invention is to enable the assembling of the thermally insulated two fenestrations at adjustable angle in planer plane without using the two metal turning profiles which is joined with heat insulation material mechanically and/or chemically.
Another purpose of the invention is to provide isolation with the weatherproof gasket for insulation material which is located between the inner and outer cover profile not to be affected by outside condition such as water and dust.
The structural and characteristic features and all advantages of the invention will be better understood with the figures given below and detailed description with reference to be made to them and therefore, the assessment should be made taking into consideration the said figures and detailed description.
