Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a glass securing part according to the preamble of appended claim 1 which is based on CH579204A5 .
  • the invention also concerns a window provided with such a glass securing part as well as a related method for assembling a window section.
  • the object of present invention is to counteract- and as far as possible - to eliminate the above mentioned problems.
  • the invention aims at bringing the state of the art in this field forward in different respects.
  • One feature of the present invention is the construction of the entire securing part which is assembled in the casement and which after assembly ensures that the window section not can be disassembled from the casement.
  • Fig. 1 shows a cross section through a casement 2 with a mounted window section 1.
  • the window section 1 can of course include an alternative number of glasses, but in the embodiment illustrated a 3-glass embodiment is provided.
  • a dressed groove 3 is provided, preferably located along the whole short side of the casement 2.
  • This groove 3 is located at a tested distance; 5-15 mm and preferably 10 mm from the interior edge or the interior surface 9 of the casement 2.
  • the groove 3 has a depth of 2-8 mm, preferably 5 mm, and a width of 3-15 mm, preferably 10 mm.
  • a resilient lip 4 of a glass block 10 is snapping in, when a complete glass securing part 11 is mounted into and between a lower edge 13 of the window and the surface of the casement 2. When the complete glass securing part 11 is pushed into its position, the resilient lip 4 and turned down sections 5 will be snapped down in the groove 3.
  • the force of reaction from this compressed sealing strip 6 is taken up from an exterior glazing bead 8 with an associated sealing strip 7, essentially in the same way as the present constructions of windows, and the tightness of the window construction is therefore completely conventional.
  • the complete glass securing part 11 has in this position no holding function of the complete window, but constitutes only a securing function in the case when the glazing bead 8 is removed and an attempt to disassemble the window is made.
  • a blocking part 12 is provided in the glass securing part 11 with a certain clearance 22 in horizontal direction, which also is evident from Fig. 1 .
  • Even the resilient lip or lips 4 has/have a possibility to move a little bit out of the casement 2 before the lip 4 is stopped by the groove 3 and its vertical wall 26, and all this because the window section 1 will not be subjected to pressure forces from the glass securing part 11, in this normal assembling position.
  • the opposite side of the casement 2 can of course also be provided with corresponding grooves 3 and accordingly, this side of a window section 1 can also be secured by the glass securing part 11.
  • spacing blocks or plastic parts are used, which take up the clearance which always must be provided between the glass sections and the inside measurement of the casement 2, since it is necessary to avoid that the glass is subjected to inherent tensions due to the way of assembling and due to that the casement 2 mostly is made of wood and accordingly always has an amount of deformation due to temperature and moisture variations.
  • the glass block 10 is only a part which has been developed compared to present glass blocks and no additional part is added.
  • the excess costs is minimal, since no additional assembling operation is added by the production of a complete window, which depends on the new glass block 10 or the new complete glass securing part 11.
  • Fig. 2 shows the design of the glass block 10.
  • the glass block 10 is preferably made by casting and it is preferably made of plastic, such as a suitable polypropylene or polyamide quality.
  • the glass block 10 is produced with two plane sections 15 or legs which are held together in a rear section 19.
  • the legs 15 are more or less parallel and have a length of 30-40 mm and a material thickness of 1-3 mm.
  • the glass block 10 has a width of 100 mm.
  • a number of one to four (1-4) and preferably two rectangular holes 16 are made.
  • the position of the holes 16 compared to a common rear and interior wall 17 of the legs 15 is coordinated with that blocking part 12 and those notches or holes 18 which are provided in this part.
  • the rectangular size of the holes 16 is also co-ordinated with the holes 18. Appropriate dimensions of the holes 16 are preferably 15-30 mm.
  • the other leg has a number of resilient lips 4, the same number as the holes 16 in the first leg.
  • the lips 4 are directed downwards to the first leg and forwards compared to the rear section 19.
  • the width and length of the lips 4 is slightly smaller than the rectangular dimension of the coordinated holes 16.
  • the angle of inclination of the lips 4 downwards to the first leg 15 is tested and is in the interval 15-60°, preferably 30°.
  • the material thickness of the lip 4 is larger than the leg's own or approximately 1.5-3 times so thick and in addition the lip 4 is underneath provided with a nose 23 which is situated a distance downwards from underneath the second leg. This distance is coordinated with and only slightly thicker than the material thickness of that blocking part 12 that will be assembled with the glass block 10.
  • the nose 23 extends rearwards to an inner wall 17 of the glass block 10 with a distance of approximately 0.2 - 2.0 mm, preferably 0.5 mm.
  • the lower edge of the nose 23 is situated more or less in the same plane as the exterior side of the first leg 15 and this lower edge extends to a rear side 27 of the lip and then downwards in the same angle as the complete lip 4.
  • the distance “a” in Fig. 2b denotes the distance from the interior wall 17 of the glass block 10 to the front more or less vertical surface 24 above the nose 23. This distance is slightly larger than the distance from the rear edge 32 of the blocking part 12 and to its hole 18, the distance which is denoted as the plate surface 31 in Fig. 3 and with the dimension "b".
  • the blocking part 12 In the normal assembling position, when the blocking part 12 is not loaded by any horizontal force, the blocking part 12 can consequently lay with a clearance in the glass block 10. However, when the glazing bead 8 is disassembled the force that the compressed sealing strip 6 is giving will be removed to the blocking part 12, which means that the blocking part 12 with its plate surface 31 will be located in its front position compared to the glass block 10, i.e. in the front, above the nose 23.
  • the blocking part 12 When the blocking part 12 is in this position, it will stabilize or reinforce the lip 4, so that it obtain a larger bending resistance, if a force is applied and an attempt to draw out the blocking part 12 from its assembled position is made.
  • the glass block 10 has on respective short side 29 the turned down section 5.
  • This section will prevent an attempt, from the side, to introduce for example a leaf spring or the like between the assembled complete glass securing part 11 and the casement 2 when the glass securing part 11 is assembled in a window section 1.
  • a leaf spring an attempt could be made to lift up the lips 4 from their engagement in the grooves 3, but since the glass block 10 has these turned down sections 5, which also extend down in the groove 3, an access to the lips 4 is prevented.
  • the turned down sections 5 have a position and a design on the first leg 15, the one with the holes 16, which are co-ordinated with the groove 3 in the casement 2 and which implies that the turned down sections 5 always extends below the surface 14 of the casement 2.
  • Fig. 3 shows the design of the blocking part 12.
  • This part 12 is preferably made of high strength steel.
  • the main function is, in a quality assured way, to lock the window section 1 in the casement 2, even if the glazing bead 8 is disassembled.
  • the blocking part 12 has to resist considerable drawing forces without moving away from its assembled position.
  • the blocking part 12 has to be designed in a way that it in its assembled position reinforces the strength of the glass block 10 and then especially the bending resistance of the lips 4.
  • the blocking part 11 has to secure that no pressure arises on the outermost window section, the lower glass section.
  • the blocking part 12 is designed as an L with one longer side 20 and one shorter side 21.
  • the side 20 is preferably 30-40 mm long.
  • On this side a number of holes 18 are made. These holes 18 are by dimensions, number and position co-ordinated with the interacting part, the glass block 10, and this because the lips 4 that are provided in the glass block 10 will be able to spring down and pass the holes 18 when the blocking part 12 is assembled in the glass block 10, which also is described in connection with Fig. 2 .
  • the shorter side 21 is essentially situated at an angel of 90° against the side 20 and has a length of preferably 5-15 mm. In its upper part the side 21 is designed in a special way.
  • the window or window section, which the blocking part 12 has to hold in its position, must be protected from a direct load in its lower exterior corner, the corner around which the blocking part extends.
  • the blocking part is designed in a way that it in its uppermost part 33, preferably on 1-2 mm of its upper part, is located 0.2-1.5 mm rearwards to the longer side 20. Since the radius between the both sides 20 and 21 in addition is small and of approximately the same size as the material thickness of the glass block 10, the window section 1 and its lower or exterior part will not get in contact with the blocking part 12. The contact will instead be made some mm upwards from the lower or exterior edge of the window section 1 and the contact is then made in the upper part 33. By this design of the blocking part 12, the window can manage a larger force of impact without damage.
  • the blocking part 12 is preferably provided with same art of notch, for example a notch in a V-form, as showed in Fig. 3 .
  • This notch interacts with a corresponding nose 25 which is provided at the glass block 10 and its interior wall 17.
