Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a system for fixing supports for blackout shutters, in general, and Persian blinds and Veneto-style shutters, in particular.
  • figure 1 shows a typical Persian blind
  • figure 2 which instead shows a Veneto-style shutter with horizontal strip, respectively.
  • the horizontal strips along with the transversal through screws perform the function of holding the slats of the door and window frame firmly coupled.
  • Supports of the known type for Persian blinds and Veneto-style shutters however display a series of drawbacks, mainly related to the systems currently used for fixing said supports to the door and window frame itself.
  • Such PVC door and window frames are coated with a specific protective film or coating, suitable for protecting the door and window frame itself from the action of weather elements and creating aesthetic variations of the door and window frame itself (color range and wood grain-type film).
  • Such film or protective coating usually several tenths of a millimeter thick, normally consists of two hot coupled layers: a first inner layer, made of plasticized and molded PVC, and a second outer layer, made of transparent PMMA (polymethyl methacrylate).
  • a first inner layer made of plasticized and molded PVC
  • a second outer layer made of transparent PMMA (polymethyl methacrylate).
  • the protective film is however very sensitive to the high temperatures which may be reached by the metal strip by effect of sun radiation. Substantially, sunlight striking the metal strip causes it to heat, and by effect of the different thermal capacities of the metal with respect to the PVC, a temperature delta is established between metal strip and the door and window frame itself.
  • the protective film is very sensitive to the high temperature of the metal strip and may be damaged by effect of the heat transferred thereto.
  • the strip is fixed to the door and window frame by means of a plurality of fastening screws.
  • Each of said screws performs a fastening function on the strip, and the action of each screw is translated into a compression action of the strip on the PVC door and window frame with direct contact between strip and protective film.
  • Such compression if excessively localized, amplifies the thermal effect described above, aiding the possible damage of the PVC coating film.
  • damage of such a zone is normally positioned as shown in figure 2 , i.e. inside the strips which mechanically support the Persian blind or Veneto-style shutter.
  • Such a damage is also due to the fact that the metal reinforcements, provided inside the PVC door and window frame and positioned at the fixing points of the strip, being free to position vertically in the profile chamber, may not perfectly adhere to the inner face of the accommodation recess of the reinforcements themselves, allowing the deformation of the outer resting surface, because there is no direct connection between reinforcement and strip.
  • the coupling of such metal reinforcement with the profile indeed presents, as mentioned, a given clearance to allow insertion thereof.
  • the production process of the profile cannot exactly ensure its internal measurement so that such clearance may also be higher than 1 mm.
  • the formation of wrinkles due to accumulation of coating film as described above may detach the film itself from the profile, thus laying bare the PVC surface which is different in appearance and color.
  • the damage of the coating film thus further exposes the PVC to the weathering agents, in addition to causing an inacceptable difference in appearance.
  • Due to the clearance between metal reinforcement and PVC profile and to the expansion of the latter, the holes for positioning and fastening the screws of the strip may ultimately tend to ovalize, reaching, as conclusive cause, the risk of structural collapse of the door and window frame itself.
  • Not last object of the present invention is to provide a system for fixing supports of door and window frames which allows to create an integral mechanical connection between strip and inner reinforcement, by means of both longitudinal screws and transversal screws (in the case of Veneto-style shutters). In this manner, the clearance between inner reinforcement and profile will not affect the statics of the door and window frame.
  • a system for fixing the supports for door and window frames particularly for door and window frames made of PVC, adapted to anchor the door and window frame to the masonry or to the walled frame.
  • Said supports being of the type comprising one or more strips in which one or more through holes are made for inserting fixing means designed to be inserted in reinforcement elements set on the inside of the door and window frame, is characterized in that it further comprises one or more spacer elementsdesigned to prevent said one or more strips from coming into direct contact with the profiles forming the door and window frame.
  • the system for fixing according to the present invention is further characterized in that said spacers are designed to be inserted in a seat in the form of a through hole, purposely made on the side of the door and window frame that faces said strip, so that the spacer, in the configuration where the system is assembled, comes to rest with one face against the strip and with the opposite face against the top edge of the reinforcement element within the profile.
  • the door and window frames 1, generally made of PVC described herein and to which the suggested fixing system is applied may be of any type.
  • the door and window frames 1 or the Veneto-style shutters in figure 2 they are connected to the masonry or to the walled frame 2 by means of a fixing system 10.
  • the fixing system 10 comprises a strip 11, preferably made of metal material, which is generally connected either to the walled frame 2 or directly to the masonry by means of a hinge, thus allowing the opening of the door and window frame.
  • One or more holes 12a adapted to the insertion of fixing means 12, which may preferably consist of self-tapping screws 12, are obtained on said strip 11, as shown in figure 4 .
  • One or more metal reinforcements 30 are provided inside the door and window frame 1, arranged perpendicularly with respect to the longitudinal dimension of said strip 11.
  • the metal reinforcements 30 preferably display a preferably quadrangular, hollow, closed profile, so as to guarantee a good structural resistance to the forces acting thereon but at the same maintaining light weight.
  • the metal reinforcement 30 presents an upper edge 30a which faces the side of the profile of the door and window frame 1 or 2 on which the strip 11 rests, and an opposite lower edge 30b and substantially parallel thereto.
  • the fixing system comprises a spacer 20, indifferently made of either metal material, e.g. aluminum or aluminum alloys, plastic or composite material, providing it is pressure stress resistant.
  • metal material e.g. aluminum or aluminum alloys, plastic or composite material
  • the shape of said spacer 20 substantially coincides with that of the seat 21 thereof obtained on the side of the door and window frame profile 1 and 2 at the hole 12a provided on the strip 11 for inserting the fixing screws 12.
  • the seat 21 may be advantageously obtained via a milling operation using a cup wheel cutter 40, as shown in figure 3 . Therefore, the seat 21 will be essentially a through hole having a circular profile, and thus the space 20 adapted to be inserted in said seat 21 is advantageously disc-shaped.
  • the disc spacer 20, equipped with an axial through hole 22, will have different thicknesses which may be chosen according to the various applications. Different forms or types of door and window frame may require other forms and/or thicknesses of the spacer 20, which will not therefore be intended as limited to the forms or proportions shown by way of example in the figures.
  • the fixing system shown for Veneto-style shutters is similar in the sashes of the Persian blinds and the frames in fig. 1 in which the spacers 20 are also inserted under the supporting hinge pivots positioned on the frames themselves and under the straight and angular strips.
  • the spacer 20 is adapted to be arranged inside the seat 21 obtained on the side of the door and window frame on which the strip 11 rests.
  • the system according to the present invention includes a seat 21 adapted to accommodate the spacer 20 and made at each of the holes 12a on the strip 11 for fixing it to the door and window frame.
  • the seat 21 is a through hole which crosses the thickness of the door and window frame and allows the spacer 20 to rest directly on the metal reinforcement 30 contemplated inside the door and window frame.
  • the spacer 20 rests on the upper edge 30a of said metal reinforcement 30, thus directly relieving the stresses transmitted by the screws 12 from the strip to the door and window frame onto said reinforcement 30.
  • the transmitted forces are both forces associated to the fastening of the screws 12 and forces associated to the supporting action of the door and window frame on the strip.
  • the screws 12 are inserted in the through hole 12a provided in the strip 11 and in the through hole 22 provided axially to said spacer 20.
  • the fixing means consisting of self-tapping screws 12 in the example may directly mesh with said metal reinforcements 30, inserting themselves in said reinforcements.
  • the assembly sequence of the fixing system in the case of Veneto-style door and window frames fig. 2 is the following:
  • the reinforcement position inside the profile may vary according to the assembly method. If this is carried out by positioning the slats flat, theoretically the reinforcement is arranged by gravity downwards in the inner chamber of the profile.
  • the position of the reinforcement does not affect the result because the thickness of the spacer 20 may vary according to the configuration fig. 1 or fig. 2 , and the assembly system (flat, vertical, etc.).
  • the fixing means 12 of the strip 11 to the door and window frame 1 are constituted by screws, as mentioned.
  • such screws 12 are self-tapping so as to directly drill the metal reinforcement 30 when they are inserted and tightened.
  • the system according to the present invention thus allows to completely avoid the contact between the metal strip 11 and the PVC door and window frame, thus avoiding the detrimental effects of heat transfer and stress transfer between strip and door and window frame.
  • the strip discharge the stresses through the spacer directly onto the upper surface of the metal reinforcement 30 within the door and window frame. Therefore, the combined effect of the PVC door and window frame heating due to the thermal transfer from the strip is especially avoided, which thermal transfer causes the deformation of the profile around the screw in systems of known type.
  • the PVC profile deformation over its entire length also leads in general to a misalignment of the screw itself and therefore to a further disadvantageous force transfer from the supporting system to the door and window frame.
  • a permanent static connection is instead created with the new fixing system among: inner transversal screws - metal reinforcement - fixing screws and strip, thus considerably improving the statics of the door and window frame itself.
  • the fixing system according to the present invention may contemplate that the strip and the spacer are made in one piece, as shown in figure 9 .
  • holes must be made in the PVC profile having diameter slightly larger than the actual introduction diameter required for introducing the male parts which work as spacer between the inner reinforcement of the profile and the support, thus leaving the PVC profile free to expand.
  • the fixing system according to the present invention allows to eliminate the drawbacks which affect the systems of known type and which lead to damaging the protective PVC film of the door and window frames with consequent aesthetic and structural damage.
  • the new fixing system ensures that the metal strip never touches the surface of the PVC profile.
  • system according to the present invention allows to optimize the transfer of load and forces from the supporting system to the PVC door and window frame and allow to avoid the drawbacks which occur upon the contact of the metal supporting elements with the PVC door and window frame.
  • the fixing system according to the present invention is extremely simple to install which allows to replace old type systems even already installed with the new system.
