Description détaillée de modes d'exécution de l'inventionDetailed description of embodiments of the invention

La baie représentée à la fig. 1 comporte deux sections 1 et 2 équipées chacune de deux vitrages 3 et 4, constitués chacun, comme on le verra plus loin, de deux plaques de verre 5 et 6 (fig. 2). A la partie supérieure de la baie s'étend une structure de suspension 7 permettant un coulissement des vitrages 3 et 4 selon deux pistes parallèles dont une pour les vitrages 3 et l'autre pour les vitrages 4. La structure de suspension 7 comporte des éléments intégrés au cadre dormant supérieur de la baie, et des éléments faisant partie de la structure des vitrages. Bien entendu, le nombre des sections de la baie n'est pas limité à deux. Il pourrait être supérieur, ou bien la baie pourrait ne comporter qu'une section.The bay represented at Fig. 1 comprises two sections 1 and 2 each equipped with two windows 3 and 4, each consisting, as will be seen below, of two glass plates 5 and 6 ( Fig. 2 ). At the upper part of the bay extends a suspension structure 7 allowing a sliding of the glazings 3 and 4 along two parallel tracks, one for the glazing 3 and the other for the glazing 4. The suspension structure 7 comprises elements integrated in the upper frame of the bay, and elements forming part of the glazing structure. Of course, the number of sections of the bay is not limited to two. It could be higher, or the bay might have only one section.

A la base de la baie s'étend un élément de cadre dormant 8 sur lequel on reviendra plus loin et qui guide les vitrages 3 et 4 indépendamment l'un de l'autre en les protégeant des contraintes éventuelles qu'ils peuvent subir.At the base of the bay extends a dormant frame member 8 which will be discussed later and which guides the glazing 3 and 4 independently of one another by protecting them from any constraints they may suffer.

La structure de suspension 7 est représentée en coupe transversale à la fig. 2 et en coupe longitudinale à la fig. 3. Elle comporte en premier lieu une dalle en béton 9 ou autre matériau de construction, faisant partie de la façade du bâtiment. Une armature constituée d'une plaque d'acier 10 est noyée dans cette dalle. Une série de consoles tubulaires 11 en acier, à profil quadrangulaire, reliées deux à deux et fermées à une extrémité par une armature 11a, sont fixées de distance en distance à la plaque d'acier 10 par des boulons de scellement 12 pénétrant dans la dalle en béton 9. Sous chacune des consoles tubulaires 11 sont vissées trois cornières 13 dans les flancs verticaux desquels sont chassés des axes fixes 14 portant des roulettes à billes 15. Comme on le voit à la fig. 2, le flanc vertical de la cornière 13 se trouvant au milieu de l'alignement porté par chaque console tubulaire 11 est équipé de deux axes fixes 14 coaxiaux et porte deux roulettes à billes 15 de part et d'autre de cet élément vertical. Une couche d'isolant thermique 16 garnit la face extérieure de la dalle en béton 9 en noyant les consoles tubulaires 11, et une plaque de bois de menuiserie 17, découpée aux endroits voulus, est appliquée contre la face inférieure de l'isolant thermique 16.The suspension structure 7 is shown in cross-section at the Fig. 2 and in longitudinal section at the Fig. 3 . It comprises in the first place a concrete slab 9 or other construction material, forming part of the facade of the building. An armature consisting of a steel plate 10 is embedded in this slab. A series of tubular steel brackets 11, with quadrangular profile, connected in pairs and closed at one end by a 11a, are fixed at a distance distance to the steel plate 10 by sealing bolts 12 penetrating into the concrete slab 9. Under each of the tubular brackets 11 are screwed three angles 13 in the vertical flanks from which are driven axes 14 bearing ball castors 15. As can be seen in Fig. 2 , the vertical flank of the bracket 13 located in the middle of the alignment carried by each tubular bracket 11 is equipped with two fixed axes 14 coaxial and carries two casters 15 on either side of this vertical element. A layer of thermal insulation 16 covers the outer face of the concrete slab 9 by embedding the tubular consoles 11, and a woodworking plate 17, cut at the desired locations, is applied against the underside of the thermal insulation 16 .

Les vitrages 3 et 4 sont suspendus aux roulettes à billes 15 de sorte qu'ils peuvent coulisser à volonté, les vitrages 3 sur une piste et les vitrages 4 sur l'autre. Ils comprennent chacun deux plaques de verre 5 et 6, dont celle qui se trouve du côté extérieur du bâtiment sera plus épaisse que l'autre. Les deux plaques de chaque vitrage sont reliées par un profilé intercalaire 18 en matière souple continu disposé le long des quatre bords des plaques de verre 5 et 6 et collé contre les faces internes de chacune des plaques. Ce profilé peut être du néoprène présentant l'élasticité voulue, ou autre élastomère, collé par une colle en couche mince. L'espace entre les plaques de verre 5 et 6 peut être rempli d'un gaz isolant ou maintenu sous vide. Deux profilés plats 19 en acier sont collés par une colle en couche mince le long des bords supérieurs des plaques de verre 5 et 6 sur leur face extérieure au vitrage, de manière qu'au montage, ils reposent sur les roulettes à billes 15. Des joints néoprène ou des joints à balais 20 en contact avec la tranche supérieure de chacune des plaques de verre 5 et 6 sont collés au dormant, ici plus précisément à la plaque de bois de menuiserie 17.Glazing 3 and 4 are suspended on the casters 15 so that they can slide at will, the glazing 3 on one track and the glazing 4 on the other. They each comprise two glass plates 5 and 6, the one on the outside of the building will be thicker than the other. The two plates of each glazing are connected by an intermediate section 18 of continuous flexible material disposed along the four edges of the glass plates 5 and 6 and glued against the inner faces of each of the plates. This profile may be neoprene having the desired elasticity, or other elastomer, glued by a thin layer adhesive. The space between the glass plates 5 and 6 can be filled with an insulating gas or kept under vacuum. Two flat steel profiles 19 are glued by a thin-layer adhesive along the upper edges of the glass plates 5 and 6 on their outside face to the glazing, so that, when they are mounted, they rest on the rollers 15. neoprene gaskets or brush seals 20 in contact with the upper edge of each of the glass plates 5 and 6 are glued to the frame, here more precisely to the wood panel 17.

Les bords verticaux des vitrages peuvent être nus selon la fig. 3 ou garnis de joints en néoprène, ou même équipés de montants en bois, comme on le verra plus loin.The vertical edges of the glazing may be bare according to the Fig. 3 or garnished neoprene joints, or even equipped with wooden uprights, as will be seen later.

La disposition des bords inférieurs des vitrages et du seuil de la baie est représentée à la fig. 4 pour la forme d'exécution montrée en exemple. Devant une dalle 21 située sous la dalle en béton 9 sous la baie décrite est placé un manteau d'isolation 22 de façon analogue à l'isolant thermique 16, que surmonte un seuil 23 en bois dur résistant aux intempéries et de bonne stabilité dimensionnelle, par exemple en chêne. Cette pièce de bois sera préparée en menuiserie au profil que montre la fig. 4. Deux rebords extérieurs 24 et un rebord intermédiaire 25 taillés dans la face supérieure du seuil 23 guideront entre eux les bords inférieurs des vitrages 3 et 4, ces rebords étant garnis de joints ou de joints d'étanchéité en néoprène 35 munis de brosses collés au bois. Des trous d'évacuation d'eau ou autres détritus sont forés obliquement de distance en distance dans le madrier de seuil 23. Un garnissage de béton ou un dallage 26 est encore prévu pour prolonger vers le bas, à l'extérieur de la façade, le seuil 23 de la baie.The arrangement of the lower edges of the windows and the sill of the bay is shown in Fig. 4 for the embodiment shown as an example. In front of a slab 21 located under the concrete slab 9 under the described bay is placed an insulation mantle 22 in a similar way to the thermal insulation 16, which surmounts a threshold 23 of hardwood resistant to the weather and good dimensional stability, by example in oak. This piece of wood will be prepared in carpentry to the profile that shows the Fig. 4 . Two outer flanges 24 and an intermediate flange 25 cut in the upper face of the threshold 23 will guide between them the lower edges of the glazings 3 and 4, these flanges being lined with seals or neoprene seals 35 provided with brushes glued to the wood. . Evacuation holes for water or other detritus are drilled obliquely from distance to distance in the threshold plank 23. A concrete lining or paving 26 is further provided to extend downward, outside the facade, the threshold 23 of the bay.

Les figs 5, 6 et 9 illustrent un exemple d'agencement des bords verticaux des vitrages 3 et 4. Des éléments de lattes en bois 27 et 28 sont fixés par des joints collés 42 et 43 contre les bords verticaux des deux vitrages 3 et 4. Pour dégager les profilés plats 19 en acier et les roulettes à billes 15 dans l'espace entre les vitrages, les éléments de lattes en bois 27 et 28 présentent des échancrures 29 et 30. Le long de leurs bords supérieurs, ces de lattes en bois 27 et 28 sont équipés de joints à balais 34 qui glissent contre la face inférieure de la plaque en bois de menuiserie 17. Ils sont équipés en outre de joints à balais 44 dans leurs faces situées en regard l'une de l'autre.The figs 5 , 6 and 9 illustrate an example of arrangement of the vertical edges of glazing 3 and 4. Wooden slat elements 27 and 28 are fixed by glued joints 42 and 43 against the vertical edges of the two glazings 3 and 4. To clear the flat profiles 19 in steel and ball casters 15 in the space between the glazings, the elements of wooden laths 27 and 28 have notches 29 and 30. Along their upper edges, these wooden laths 27 and 28 are equipped with Brush seals 34 which slide against the underside of the joinery wood plate 17. They are further equipped with brush seals 44 in their faces facing one another.

Les figs 7 à 11 montrent en coupe par des plans horizontaux diverses variantes d'aménagements auxiliaires compatibles avec la construction décrite. A la fig. 7, on voit un vitrage tel que 3 placé dans une position finale par rapport à la baie. Cette dernière est équipée, à son extrémité, d'un montant fixe 36, par exemple en bois garni de joints en caoutchouc 37 ou autre élastomère contre lesquels butent des joints homologues 38 collés comme déjà indiqué contre la tranche verticale des plaques 5 et 6. A la fig. 8, un montant intermédiaire 39 vertical en bois est placé entre la plaque de bois de menuiserie 17 de la structure de suspension et le seuil 23 de la baie. Placé au centre de celle-ci, il permet aux vitrages 4, selon le montage de la fig. 1, de marquer leur position finale. Pour remplir la même fonction entre un vitrage 3 et le vitrage 4 suivant, selon la disposition de la fig. 1, on peut fixer contre les tranches verticales des vitrages, comme le montre la fig. 9, les éléments de lattes en bois 27 et 28, par exemple, fixés par des joints collés 42, 43 et garnis dans leurs faces en regard de joints-brosses 44. Les fonctions de ces éléments auxiliaires sont claires et ne nécessitent pas d'autres explications.The figs 7 to 11 show in section through horizontal planes various variants of auxiliary arrangements compatible with the described construction. To the Fig. 7 , we see a glazing such as 3 placed in a final position with respect to the bay. The latter is equipped, at its end, with a fixed upright 36, for example made of wood lined with rubber or other elastomer seals against which abutting homologous joints 38 bonded as already indicated against the vertical slice of plates 5 and 6. At the Fig. 8 an intermediate wooden upright 39 is placed between the woodworking panel 17 of the suspension structure and the threshold 23 of the bay. Placed in the center of it, it allows glazing 4, according to the assembly of the Fig. 1 , to mark their final position. To fulfill the same function between a glazing unit 3 and the following glazing unit 4, according to the provision of the Fig. 1 can be fixed against the vertical slices glazing, as shown in Fig. 9 , the elements of wooden slats 27 and 28, for example, fixed by glued joints 42, 43 and lined in their faces opposite brush seals 44. The functions of these auxiliary elements are clear and do not require other explanations.

Enfin, les figs 10 et 11 montrent comment, avec la même disposition qu'à la fig. 9, des montants mobiles 45, 46, ou 47, 48, fixés contre les tranches verticales de vitrages placés en décalage latéral, peuvent être bloqués, selon la fig. 10 par un verrou à main 49 et, selon la fig. 11, par engagement à friction d'un ergot 50 dans un logement 51, de manière à assurer les positions des vitrages et sécuriser la baie même en cas de conditions météorologiques défavorables, telles que vent ou précipitations.Finally, figs 10 and 11 show how, with the same layout as in the Fig. 9 movable uprights 45, 46, or 47, 48, fixed against the vertical slices of glazing placed in lateral offset, can be locked, according to the Fig. 10 by a hand lock 49 and, according to the Fig. 11 , by frictional engagement of a lug 50 in a housing 51, so as to ensure the positions of the windows and secure the bay even in case of adverse weather conditions, such as wind or precipitation.

Les caractéristiques actuelles des verres, des colles et des bois de menuiserie ou de construction montrent que la disposition de baies vitrées décrite ci-dessus est parfaitement fiable. Elle présente l'avantage d'une grande simplicité, d'une facilité de fabrication sans nécessiter la production d'éléments industriels. Son poids est réduit et on notera finalement que la solution présentée évite dans une large mesure des ponts thermiques à travers des éléments métalliques, ce qui améliore grandement les conditions de chauffage hivernal et participe à l'économie de l'énergie. L'efficacité isolante du vitrage selon la présente invention est essentiellement déterminée par le fait qu'il n'y a qu'une seule lacune dans la continuité de l'enveloppe isolante (double verre isolant - lacune - cadre dormant isolation fixe de la façade), alors que les vitrages de l'état de la technique présentent au moins deux lacunes (double verre isolant - lacune - cadre coulissant - lacune - cadre dormant isolation de façade).The current characteristics of glass, glue, and joinery or construction woods show that the arrangement of bay windows described above is perfectly reliable. It has the advantage of great simplicity, ease of manufacture without requiring the production of industrial elements. Its weight is reduced and it will be noted finally that the presented solution avoids to a large extent thermal bridges through metallic elements, which greatly improves the conditions of winter heating and participates in the economy of the energy. The insulating efficiency of the glazing according to the present invention is essentially determined by the fact that there is only one gap in the continuity of the insulating envelope (double insulating glass - gap - frame fixed insulation of the facade ), while the windows of the state of the art have at least two gaps (double insulating glass - gap - sliding frame - gap - dormant frame insulation facade).

Dans la forme d'exécution décrite ci-dessus, les vitrages comportent deux plaques de verres parallèles 5, 6. Les doubles vitrages que l'on trouve dans le commerce peuvent avantageusement être utilisés. Bien entendu, la présente invention concerne également des baies vitrées équipées de vitrages à un seul verre.In the embodiment described above, the glazings comprise two parallel glass plates 5, 6. The double glazings that are commercially available can advantageously be used. Of course, this The invention also relates to windows equipped with single-glass windows.
