Description

Domaine techniqueTechnical area

La présente invention concerne un encadrement pour parois, notamment pour parois coulissantes, en particulier pour fenêtres coulissantes ou non. La présente invention a pour but de rationaliser la production en mode industriel et de faciliter le montage de l'encadrement tout en garantissant l'isolation thermique et l'étanchéité d'un encadrement traditionnel.The present invention relates to a frame for walls, especially for sliding walls, in particular for sliding windows or not. The present invention aims to rationalize production in industrial mode and facilitate the mounting of the frame while ensuring the thermal insulation and sealing of a traditional frame.

Etat de la techniqueState of the art

Dans les moyens d'encadrement pour parois, notamment des fenêtres, les profilés, éléments constitutifs du cadre, sont assemblés, avec ou sans élément d'isolation, selon deux types d'opération : le sertissage ou l'emboîtement.In the frame means for walls, including windows, the profiles, constituent elements of the frame, are assembled, with or without insulation element, according to two types of operation: crimping or nesting.

Le sertissage est une technique d'assemblage mécanique qui consiste à plier et à rabattre l'extrémité d'un premier élément mécanique sur un deuxième pour former un joint serré. Après sertissage, les deux éléments mécaniques sont solidaires l'un de l'autre, la connexion entre les éléments étant rigide. Le sertissage offre une connexion généralement étanche. En positionnant un élément d'isolation de manière judicieuse entre les éléments à sertir, la structure assemblée est isolante. Par contre, le sertissage nécessite des moyens et des outils conséquents, tels que des presses à sertir, de sorte qu'il est difficilement réalisable sur le site de montage. Le sertissage ne procure pas de flexibilité et d'adaptabilité au montage et ne permet donc pas une rationalisation efficace de la production. L'ensemble des coûts relatif au sertissage est par ailleurs élevé.Crimping is a mechanical joining technique that consists of folding and bending the end of a first mechanical element onto a second one to form a tight joint. After crimping, the two mechanical elements are integral with each other, the connection between the elements being rigid. Crimping provides a generally watertight connection. By positioning an insulating element judiciously between the elements to be crimped, the assembled structure is insulating. On the other hand, crimping requires substantial means and tools, such as crimping presses, so that it is difficult to achieve on the assembly site. Crimping does not provide flexibility and adaptability to assembly and therefore does not allow effective rationalization of production. The entire cost of crimping is also high.

Afin de palier aux désavantages du sertissage, il est connu d'utiliser des encadrements en deux parties constituées de paires de profilés complémentaires présentant des ailes longitudinales qui embrassent un vitrage et des ailes transversales qui s'emboîtent l'une dans l'autre pour former le cadre et maintenir le vitrage. Lesdites parties de chaque cadre sont fixées l'une à l'autre par des organes de liaison traversant les ailes emboîtées. La profondeur d'emboîtement des ailes transversales est déterminée au montage en fonction de l'épaisseur du vitrage. Des bandes en matériau synthétique isolant peuvent être intercalées dans l'emboîtement des ailes transversales de chaque partie du cadre, ces bandes faisant office d'isolation thermique. Afin de pouvoir s'emboîter l'une dans l'autre et former une structure rigide, les ailes transversales sont de formes complexes de sorte que la production industrielle du cadre en devient ardue et coûteuse. La stabilité de la structure dépend, par ailleurs, fortement des précisions d'usinage et de montage ainsi que des organes de liaison utilisés. Selon l'épaisseur du vitrage, l'emboîtement des ailes transversales se réalise de manière partielle. Un tel assemblage présente donc parfois une étanchéité et une isolation thermique déficientes.In order to overcome the disadvantages of crimping, it is known to use two-part frames consisting of pairs of complementary profiles having longitudinal wings that embrace a glazing and transverse wings that fit into one another to form frame and maintain the glazing. Said parts of each frame are fixed to each other by connecting members passing through the nested wings. The nesting depth of the transverse wings is determined during assembly depending on the thickness of the glazing. Strips of synthetic insulating material may be interposed in the interlocking transverse wings of each part of the frame, these strips acting as thermal insulation. In order to fit into each other and form a rigid structure, the transverse wings are complex shapes so that the industrial production of the frame becomes difficult and expensive. The stability of the structure also depends strongly on machining and assembly accuracies as well as on the connecting members used. Depending on the thickness of the glazing, the interlocking of the transverse wings is carried out partially. Such an assembly therefore sometimes has poor sealing and thermal insulation.

Le document FR2363686 divulgue un encadrement de l'état de la technique. La présente invention vise donc à fournir une solution aux problèmes susmentionnés.The document FR2363686 discloses a frame of the state of the art. The present invention therefore aims to provide a solution to the aforementioned problems.

Divulgation de l'inventionDisclosure of the invention

A cet effet, conformément à l'invention, il est proposé un encadrement pour parois conforme à la revendication 1. D'autres configurations possibles de l'invention sont définies dans les revendications 2 à 6.For this purpose, according to the invention, there is provided a frame for walls according to claim 1. Other possible configurations of the invention are defined in claims 2 to 6.

L'invention ainsi configurée fournit un encadrement dans lequel les différentes parties du cadre sont connectées sans qu'aucun organe de liaison annexe ne soit utilisé. Le montage de l'encadrement en est donc facilité. De plus, en modifiant uniquement la largeur de l'élément d'isolation sans changer les éléments de profilé, l'encadrement de l'invention peut facilement s'adapter à des vitrages d'épaisseur variable. La production en mode industriel peut ainsi être facilitée et rationalisée. Par ailleurs, l'élément d'isolation joue le rôle à la fois de barrage thermique et d'élément d'étanchéité. L'ajustement de l'élément d'isolation à l'intérieur des ailes transversales des profilés permettra également de diminuer sensiblement les pertes thermiques à ce niveau.The invention thus configured provides a frame in which the different parts of the frame are connected without any auxiliary connecting member being used. The mounting of the frame is thus facilitated. In addition, by changing only the width of the insulation element without changing the profile elements, the frame of the invention can easily adapt to glazing of varying thickness. Production in industrial mode can thus be facilitated and streamlined. In addition, the insulation element plays the role of both a thermal barrier and a sealing element. The adjustment of the insulation element inside the transverse wings of the profiles will also substantially reduce heat losses at this level.

La figure 1 est une vue en coupe verticale d'un encadrement dont un cadre 1 supporte et guide un vitrage simple 2 monté coulissant. Le cadre 1 est formé de profilés rectilignes 1 a et 1 b qui peuvent être en aluminium ou autre alliage léger, le cas échéant en un autre alliage ou matériau, notamment synthétique, et d'un élément d'isolation 12 emboîté dans les profilés 1 a et 1 b. Le profilé 1 b est le symétrique du profilé 1 a par rapport à un axe de symétrie vertical.The figure 1 is a vertical sectional view of a frame including a frame 1 supports and guides a single glazing 2 mounted slidably. The frame 1 is formed of rectilinear profiles 1a and 1b which may be of aluminum or other light alloy, if necessary of another alloy or material, in particular synthetic, and of an insulating member 12 fitted into the profiles 1 a and 1 b. The profile 1b is symmetrical to the profile 1a with respect to a vertical axis of symmetry.

Les profilés 1 a et 1 b possèdent respectivement une aile longitudinale 3a et 3b avec, à leur partie supérieure, une paire de rebords rentrant 4a, 5a et 4b, 5b qui retiennent des brosses 6a et 6b en contact avec le support 17 du vitrage 2 et, à leur partie inférieure, respectivement un bossage interne 11 a et 11 b pour le centrage du roulement à billes 16. A la base des ailes longitudinales 3a et 3b, les profilés 1 a et 1 b possèdent respectivement une paire d'ailes transversales interne 8a, 9a et 8b, 9b. Les ailes transversales de chaque profilé sont parallèles et dirigées dans la même direction de sorte à créer un espace dans lequel un élément de section rectangulaire peut venir s'engager. Selon la figure 1, les ailes transversales 8a, 9a et 8b, 9b sont dimensionnées de manière à emboîter l'élément d'isolation 12. L'emboîtement est défini lorsque les deux faces latérales de l'élément d'isolation 12 entrent en contact avec les surfaces verticales des éléments 7a et 7b des profilés 1 a et 1 b joignant les deux ailes transversales 8a, 9a et 8b, 9b. Les profilés 1 a et 1 b étant symétriques, les largeurs des ailes transversales sont inférieures à la moitié de la largeur L de l'élément d'isolation. L'élément d'isolation est lui-même dimensionné au montage en fonction de l'épaisseur du vitrage 2. La longueur de l'arbre 13 du roulement à billes 16 est elle aussi dimensionnée en fonction de l'épaisseur du vitrage 2.The profiles 1a and 1b respectively have a longitudinal flange 3a and 3b with, at their upper part, a pair of recessed flanges 4a, 5a and 4b, 5b which hold brushes 6a and 6b in contact with the support 17 of the glazing 2 and, at their lower part, respectively an internal boss 11a and 11b for the centering of the ball bearing 16. At the base of the longitudinal wings 3a and 3b, the profiles 1a and 1b respectively have a pair of internal transverse wings 8a, 9a and 8b, 9b. The transverse wings of each section are parallel and directed in the same direction so as to create a space in which a rectangular section element can come to engage. According to figure 1 , the transverse wings 8a, 9a and 8b, 9b are dimensioned so as to fit the insulation element 12. The interlocking is defined when the two lateral faces of the insulation element 12 come into contact with the vertical surfaces elements 7a and 7b of the profiles 1a and 1b joining the two transverse wings 8a, 9a and 8b, 9b. Since the profiles 1 a and 1 b are symmetrical, the widths of the transverse wings are less than half the width L of the insulation element. The insulation element is itself dimensioned to the mounting according to the thickness of the glazing 2. The length of the shaft 13 of the ball bearing 16 is also dimensioned according to the thickness of the glazing 2.

A titre d'exemple, la figure 2 présente une vue en coupe verticale d'un encadrement dont un cadre 1 supporte et guide un vitrage simple 2, celui-ci étant plus épais que celui de la figure 1. On retrouve dans la figure 2 les mêmes éléments que dans la figure 1, de sorte qu'il n'est pas nécessaire de les énumérer à nouveau. Au vu de l'épaisseur du vitrage, les positions relatives des profilés 1 a et 1 b sont modifiées par rapport à la figure 1, leur écartement étant supérieur, et la largeur L de l'élément d'isolation 12 est augmentée de sorte à créer l'emboîtement désiré entre les paires d'ailes transversales 8a, 9a et 8b, 9b et l'élément d'isolation 12. Comme évoqué précédemment, la largeur L de l'élément d'isolation 12 est définie en fonction de l'épaisseur du vitrage. On remarque également que la longueur de l'arbre 13 est augmentée par rapport à celle de l'arbre représenté à la figure 1.For example, the figure 2 has a vertical sectional view of a frame including a frame 1 supports and guides a single glazing 2, the latter being thicker than that of the figure 1 . We find in the figure 2 the same elements as in the figure 1 so there is no need to list them again. In view of the thickness of the glazing, the relative positions of the profiles 1 a and 1 b are modified with respect to the figure 1 , their spacing being greater, and the width L of the insulating member 12 is increased so as to create the desired interlock between the pairs of transverse wings 8a, 9a and 8b, 9b and the insulating member 12 As mentioned previously, the width L of the insulation element 12 is defined as a function of the thickness of the glazing. It is also noted that the length of the shaft 13 is increased relative to that of the shaft shown in FIG. figure 1 .

A ce stade, il est important de remarquer qu'aucun organe de liaison annexe n'est utilisé entre les profilés 1 a, 1 b et l'élément d'isolation 12. Les ailes transversales et l'élément d'isolation assurent eux-mêmes la connexion des deux parties du cadre. La figure 3 présente une coupe verticale d'un profilé 1 b, élément constitutif du cadre représenté sur les figures 1 et 2. La figure 4 est une vue en détail et en coupe verticale des ailes transversales du profilé représenté à la figure 3. Les surfaces internes des ailes transversales inférieure et supérieure des profilés destinées à venir en contact avec l'élément d'isolation possèdent des portions planes Sp séparées par des portions crantées Sc. Les portions crantées Sc des surfaces internes sont formées par une pluralité de lignes parallèles en relief, chaque ligne possédant un profil sensiblement triangulaire et s'étendant au moins partiellement en saillie par rapport au plan défini par les portions planes Sp. Ces lignes en relief pourront s'étendre sur une partie seulement de la longueur des profilés 1 a et 1 b ou, dans une forme préférentielle, sur toute la longueur des profilés 1 a et 1 b. En outre, d'autres profils pourront être choisis pour les lignes en relief. En particulier, il est envisageable d'utiliser des profils trapézoïdaux ou tout autre profil polygonal dont au moins un côté forme un angle aigu avec le plan défini par les surfaces planes Sp. Dans l'exemple représenté, chaque ligne en relief possède un profil en forme de triangle rectangle dont les cathètes sont respectivement dans un plan parallèle à celui défini par les portions planes Sp et perpendiculaire à ce plan. L'angle formé par l'hypoténuse et par la cathète perpendiculaire à l'aile transversale est arrondi en congé. Les lignes en relief dans chacune des portions crantées Sc sont juxtaposées les unes aux autres sans discontinuité. En outre, les lignes en relief des portions crantées Sc formées sur les ailes transversales supérieures 8a et 8b sont orientées de manière opposée aux lignes en relief des portions crantées Sc formées sur les ailes transversales inférieures 9a et 9b. Concernant l'aile transversale supérieure 8b et de manière adjacente à la partie 7b du profilé 1 b, la surface interne de l'aile transversale 8b est plane sur une largeur correspondant à moins d'un quart de la largeur de l'aile transversale 8b. En direction de l'extrémité libre de l'aile transversale 8b, cette portion plane Sp jouxte une portion crantée Sc d'une largeur correspondant à plus de la moitié de la longueur de l'aile transversale 8b. Cette portion crantée Sc se prolonge ensuite en direction de l'extrémité libre de l'aile transversale 8b en une portion plane Sp. Concernant l'aile transversale inférieure 9b et de manière adjacente à la partie 7b du profilé 1 b, la surface interne de l'aile transversale 9b est plane sur une largeur correspondant à moins d'un quart de la largeur de l'aile transversale 9b. En direction de l'extrémité libre de l'aile transversale 9b, cette portion plane Sp jouxte une portion crantée Sc d'une largeur correspondant à plus de la moitié de la longueur de l'aile transversale 9b. Les extrémités libres des ailes transversales 8b et 9b sont arrondies en congé afin de faciliter l'emboîtement de l'élément d'isolation.At this stage, it is important to note that no auxiliary connecting member is used between the sections 1a, 1b and the insulation element 12. The transverse wings and the insulation element ensure that even the connection of the two parts of the frame. The figure 3 has a vertical section of a profile 1b, constituent element of the frame shown on the figures 1 and 2 . The figure 4 is a detail view and in vertical section of the transverse wings of the section shown to the figure 3 . The inner surfaces of the lower and upper transverse flanges of the profiles intended to come into contact with the insulation element have planar portions S p separated by notched portions S c . The serrated portions S c of the internal surfaces are formed by a plurality of parallel lines in relief, each line having a substantially triangular profile and extending at least partially projecting from the plane defined by the planar portions S p . These raised lines may extend over only a portion of the length of the profiles 1a and 1b or, in a preferred form, over the entire length of the profiles 1a and 1b. In addition, other profiles may be chosen for the raised lines. In particular, it is conceivable to use trapezoidal profiles or any other polygonal profile of which at least one side forms an acute angle with the plane defined by the flat surfaces S p . In the example shown, each raised line has a profile in the form of a right triangle whose catheters are respectively in a plane parallel to that defined by the planar portions S p and perpendicular to this plane. The angle formed by the hypotenuse and the catheter perpendicular to the transverse wing is rounded off. The lines in relief in each of the serrated portions S c are juxtaposed to each other without discontinuity. In addition, the raised lines of the serrated portions S c formed on the upper transverse wings 8a and 8b are oriented opposite to the raised lines of the serrated portions S c formed on the lower transverse wings 9a and 9b. Regarding the upper transverse flange 8b and adjacent to the portion 7b of the profile 1b, the inner surface of the transverse flange 8b is flat over a width corresponding to less than a quarter of the width of the transverse flange 8b . In the direction of the free end of the transverse wing 8b, this flat portion S p adjoins a notched portion S c of a width corresponding to more than half the length of the transverse wing 8b. This notched portion S c then extends towards the free end of the transverse wing 8b in a flat portion S p . Regarding the lower transverse wing 9b and adjacent to the portion 7b of the profile 1b, the inner surface of the transverse wing 9b is flat over a width corresponding to less than a quarter of the width of the transverse wing 9b . In the direction of the free end of the transverse wing 9b, this flat portion S p adjoins a notched portion S c with a width corresponding to more than half the length of the transverse wing 9b. The free ends of the transverse wings 8b and 9b are rounded off to facilitate the interlocking of the insulation element.

La figure 5 présente une vue en détail et en coupe de l'élément d'isolation 12 de la Figure 1. Cet élément est en pvc ou autre matériel synthétique isolant. Il possède un axe de symétrie vertical. Les surfaces externes destinées à venir en contact avec les surfaces internes des ailes transversales 8a, 9a et 8b, 9b comportent au moins une bande d'accrochage Sa, ladite bande d'accrochage étant configurée pour interagir avec une portion crantée Sc d'une des ailes transversales de manière à empêcher la déconnexion sans outil de l'élément d'isolation 12 et des profilés 1 a et 1 b. Cette bande d'accrochage Sa pourra notamment présenter un état de surface suffisamment rugueux de façon à accrocher les lignes en relief des portions crantées Sc des ailes transversales. Elle pourra de manière subsidiaire ou additionnelle présenter des lignes en relief complémentaires de celles des portions crantées Sc. Ainsi, dans l'exemple représenté, cette bande d'accrochage Sa a été formée en opérant un moletage croisé d'une partie de la surface externe de l'élément d'isolation 12. On entend par moletage l'opération qui consiste à réaliser des stries sur une surface. Le procédé d'obtention ici utilisé est un procédé par déformation de matière. La matière est en effet localement emboutie de sorte à créer des sur- et sous-épaisseurs par rapport à la surface initiale. Ce type de moletage peut être obtenu au moyen de molettes amenées au contact de la pièce ou par roulage contraint entre des crémaillères. Les sur- et sous-épaisseurs ici obtenues par rapport à la surface initiale sont comprises entre 0.1 mm et 0.7 mm. Concernant la surface supérieure de l'élément d'isolation, en partant de l'une des extrémités latérales de l'élément d'isolation, la surface est plane sur une largeur correspondant à moins d'un quart de la largeur de l'élément d'isolation. En direction de l'axe de symétrie vertical de l'élément d'isolation, cette surface plane jouxte une surface Sa moletée croisée à 30° d'une largeur correspondant entre le quart et la moitié de la largeur de l'élément d'isolation, ladite surface moletée croisée jouant le rôle de bande d'accrochage. Cette surface moletée croisée se prolonge ensuite en direction de l'axe de symétrie de l'élément d'isolation en une surface St comportant un moletage droit sur une largeur correspondant à moins d'un quart de la largeur de l'élément d'isolation. Le moletage droit est réalisé dans le sens de la longueur de l'élément d'isolation. Comme nous le verrons plus loin, cette surface St sert notamment de bande d'étanchéité du fait qu'elle permet de limiter les infiltrations d'eau pouvant se produire à travers l'espace séparant les ailes transversales et l'élément d'isolation. De cette surface moletée droite St jusqu'à l'axe de symétrie de l'élément d'isolation, la surface est ensuite plane. Concernant la surface inférieure de l'élément d'isolation, à l'une des extrémités latérales de l'élément d'isolation, la surface est plane sur une largeur correspondant à moins d'un quart de la largeur de l'élément d'isolation. En direction de l'axe de symétrie vertical de l'élément d'isolation, cette surface plane jouxte une surface Sa moletée croisée à 30° d'une largeur correspondant entre le quart et la moitié de la largeur de l'élément d'isolation. Cette surface moletée croisée se prolonge ensuite jusqu'à l'axe de symétrie de l'élément d'isolation en une surface plane.The figure 5 shows a detail view in section of the insulation element 12 of the Figure 1 . This element is made of pvc or other synthetic insulating material. It has a vertical axis of symmetry. The outer surfaces intended to come into contact with the internal surfaces of the transverse wings 8a, 9a and 8b, 9b comprise at least one attachment band S a , said attachment strip being configured to interact with a notched portion S c of one of the transverse wings so as to prevent the tool-free disconnection of the insulating element 12 and the profiles 1a and 1b. This stringer S a may in particular have a sufficiently rough surface so as to grip the raised lines of the notched portions S c of the transverse wings. It may alternatively or additionally have lines in relief complementary to those of the serrated portions S c . Thus, in the example shown, this stringer S has been formed by performing a cross-knurling of a portion of the outer surface of the insulating member 12. The term knurling means the operation which consists in make streaks on a surface. The obtaining process used here is a material deformation process. The material is indeed locally stamped so as to create over- and under-thicknesses with respect to the initial surface. This type of knurling can be obtained by means of rollers brought into contact with the workpiece or by forced rolling between racks. The over- and under-thicknesses obtained here with respect to the initial surface are between 0.1 mm and 0.7 mm. With respect to the upper surface of the insulation element, starting from one of the lateral ends of the insulation element, the surface is flat over a width corresponding to less than a quarter of the width of the element insulation. Towards the vertical axis of symmetry of the insulating member, this flat surface abuts a surface S has cross-knurled at 30 ° of a width corresponding between a quarter and half the width of the element insulation, said surface knurled cross acting as a snap band. This crossed knurled surface then extends in the direction of the axis of symmetry of the insulation element into a surface S t having a right knurling over a width corresponding to less than a quarter of the width of the element. insulation. The right knurling is made in the direction of the length of the insulation element. As will be seen below, this surface S t serves in particular as a sealing strip because it makes it possible to limit the infiltrations of water that can occur through the space separating the transverse wings and the insulation element. . From this straight knurled surface S t to the axis of symmetry of the insulation element, the surface is then flat. With regard to the lower surface of the insulation element, at one of the lateral ends of the insulation element, the surface is flat over a width corresponding to less than a quarter of the width of the insulation element. insulation. Towards the vertical axis of symmetry of the insulating member, this flat surface abuts a surface S has cross-knurled at 30 ° of a width corresponding between a quarter and half the width of the element insulation. This crossed knurled surface then extends to the axis of symmetry of the insulation member in a flat surface.

Une fois l'emboîtement de l'élément d'isolation 12 entre les ailes transversales 8a, 9a et 8b, 9b réalisé, une partie des portions crantées Sc des ailes transversales inférieures 9a, 9b et supérieures 8a, 8b sont en contact avec les moletages croisé des surfaces respectivement inférieure et supérieure de l'élément d'isolation 12. L'épaisseur de l'élément d'isolation est dimensionnée par rapport à l'écartement des ailes transversales 8a et 9a ou 8b et 9b de sorte que l'ajustement soit de type serrage. En particulier, la distance séparant les ailes transversales inférieure et supérieure 8a et 9a ou 8b et 9b sera avantageusement inférieure à l'épaisseur de l'élément d'isolation 12. Cet ajustement de type serrage et la conjonction des portions crantées Sc des ailes transversales 8a, 9a et 8b, 9b et des bandes d'accrochage Sa de l'élément d'isolation 12 assurent la connexion des parties du cadres entre-elles. Bien entendu, dans une configuration non représentée, il est envisageable de ne pas prévoir de portions crantées Sc sur les ailes transversales et/ou de bandes d'accrochage Sa sur l'élément d'isolation. Dans ce cas, la connexion des deux parties du cadre pourra se faire uniquement au moyen de l'ajustement de type serrage. Une fois l'emboîtement réalisé, l'élément d'isolation devient solidaire des profilés du cadre. L'encadrement est dés lors constitué.Once the interlocking of the insulation element 12 between the transverse wings 8a, 9a and 8b, 9b is achieved, a part of the serrated portions S c of the lower transverse wings 9a, 9b and 8a, 8b are in contact with the crosswise knurling of the lower and upper surfaces respectively of the insulation element 12. The thickness of the insulation element is dimensioned with respect to the spacing of the transverse wings 8a and 9a or 8b and 9b so that the adjustment be of type clamping. In particular, the distance separating the lower and upper transverse wings 8a and 9a or 8b and 9b will advantageously be less than the thickness of the insulating member 12. This tightening-type adjustment and the conjunction of the serrated portions S c of the wings 8a, 9a and 8b, 9b and fastening strips S a of the insulating element 12 connect the parts of the frame to each other. Of course, in a configuration not shown, it is conceivable not to provide notched portions S c on the transverse wings and / or fastening strips S a on the insulation member. In this case, the connection of the two parts of the frame can be made only by means of the tightening type adjustment. Once the interlocking made, the insulation element becomes integral with the frame profiles. The frame is therefore constituted.

L'isolation thermique est assurée par l'élément d'isolation 12 et l'ajustement de type serrage. L'étanchéité est assurée, quant à elle, par la conjonction des portions planes Sp des ailes transversales supérieures 8a et 8b et des surfaces moletées droites St de l'élément d'isolation 12 ainsi que par l'ajustement de type serrage. En effet, une fois le montage effectué, les stries droites des surfaces St, résultat du moletage droit, sont destinées à venir en contact avec une portion plane Sp des ailes transversales supérieures 8a et 8b. Or, de manière inattendue, la Déposante a constaté qu'une telle configuration améliore grandement l'étanchéité par rapport à une configuration où les portions planes Sp seraient en contact avec une surface plane ou une surface moletée croisée de l'élément d'isolation 12.The thermal insulation is provided by the insulation element 12 and the clamping type adjustment. Sealing is ensured, for its part, by the conjunction of the flat portions S p of the upper transverse flanges 8a and 8b and straight knurled surfaces S t of the insulating element 12 as well as by the clamping type adjustment. In fact, once the assembly is carried out, the straight striations of the surfaces S t , result of the right knurling, are intended to come into contact with a flat portion S p of the upper transverse wings 8a and 8b. Surprisingly, the Applicant has found that such a configuration greatly improves the seal compared to a configuration where the planar portions S p would be in contact with a flat surface or a knurled cross surface of the insulation member. 12.

Sur les figures 1 et 2, le profilé 29, connecté au profilé 1 a, est un élément décoratif amovible. Les bossages 11 a et 11 b ainsi que les ailes transversales 8a et 8b des profilés respectivement 1 a et 1 b servent respectivement à centrer et à maintenir dans le cadre 1, entre les ailes longitudinale 3a et 3b, un dispositif de support et de roulement 14. Le dispositif de support 14 se compose d'un rail 15 en U renversé placé à cheval sur les ailes transversales supérieures 8a et 8b, d'une série d'arbres 13 traversant le rail 15 transversalement et portant chacun un roulement à billes 16. Le vitrage 2 soutenu et guidé dans le cadre 1 comporte un tour de verre 17 dans lequel le vitrage est coiffé. Une bande de roulement 18 est appliquée sous le tour de verre 17 de façon à faire reposer le vitrage 2 sur les roulements 16. Les brosses 6a et 6b guident le mouvement.On the figures 1 and 2 , the section 29, connected to the section 1a, is a removable decorative element. The bosses 11a and 11b and the transverse wings 8a and 8b respectively of the profiles 1a and 1b respectively serve to center and maintain in the frame 1, between the longitudinal wings 3a and 3b, a support and rolling device 14. The support device 14 consists of an inverted U-shaped rail 15 straddling the upper transverse wings 8a and 8b of a series of shafts 13 traversing the rail 15 transversely and each carrying a ball bearing 16 The glazing 2 supported and guided in the frame 1 comprises a glass lathe 17 in which the glazing is capped. A tread 18 is applied under the glass turn 17 so as to rest the glazing 2 on the bearings 16. The brushes 6a and 6b guide the movement.

La figure 6 présente un encadrement à deux cadres. On retrouve dans chacun de ces cadres, à l'exception du profilé double 1 c, les mêmes éléments que dans la figure 1, de sorte qu'il n'est pas nécessaire de les énumérer à nouveau. Tout comme les profilés 1 a et 1 b, le profilé rectiligne double 1 c peut être en aluminium ou autre alliage léger, le cas échéant en un autre alliage ou matériau, notamment synthétique. Le profilé double 1 c possède un axe de symétrie vertical et est présenté en détail à la figure 7. Il possède une aile longitudinale 3c avec à sa partie supérieure, de part et d'autre du profilé, deux paires de rebords rentrant 4c, 5c et 4d, 5d qui retiennent des brosses 6c et 6d en contact respectivement avec le support 17a du vitrage 2a et le support 17b du vitrage 2b et, à sa partie inférieure et de part et d'autre du profilé, des bossage interne 11 c et 11 d pour le centrage des roulements à billes respectivement 16a et 16b. A la base de l'aile longitudinale 3c, le profilé double 1 c possède deux paires d'ailes transversales 8c, 9c et 8d, 9d de part et d'autre du profilé. Dans chacune de ces paires, les ailes transversales sont parallèles et dirigées dans la même direction de sorte à créer un espace dans lequel un élément de section rectangulaire peut venir s'engager. De cette manière, les ailes transversales 8c, 9c et 8d, 9d du profilé 1 c sont connectées aux éléments d'isolation 12a et 12b des deux cadres voisins. Les surfaces internes des ailes transversales du profilé 1 c destinées à venir en contact avec les éléments d'isolations 12a et 12b sont crantées de manière identique aux ailes transversales du profilé simple 1 b de la figure 1 détaillé aux figures 3 et 4.The figure 6 presents a frame with two frames. In each of these frames, except for the double profile 1c, we find the same elements as in the figure 1 so there is no need to list them again. Just like the profiles 1 a and 1 b, the rectilinear profile double 1 c can be aluminum or other light alloy, if necessary in another alloy or material, including synthetic. The double profile 1 c has an axis of vertical symmetry and is presented in detail at figure 7 . It has a longitudinal wing 3c with at its upper part, on either side of the profile, two pairs of recessed rims 4c, 5c and 4d, 5d which hold brushes 6c and 6d in contact respectively with the support 17a of the glazing 2a. and the support 17b of the glazing 2b and, at its lower part and on either side of the profile, internal bosses 11c and 11d for centering the ball bearings respectively 16a and 16b. At the base of the longitudinal flange 3c, the double section 1c has two pairs of transverse flanges 8c, 9c and 8d, 9d on either side of the profile. In each of these pairs, the transverse wings are parallel and directed in the same direction so as to create a space in which an element of rectangular section can come to engage. In this way, the transverse wings 8c, 9c and 8d, 9d of the profile 1c are connected to the insulation elements 12a and 12b of the two adjacent frames. The internal surfaces of the transverse wings of the profile 1 c intended to come into contact with the insulating elements 12a and 12b are similarly notched to the transverse wings of the single section 1b of the figure 1 detailed at figures 3 and 4 .

La figure 8 montre, en coupe horizontale, la disposition des vitrages dans un encadrement de fenêtre avec trois cadres et trois vitrages. Les vitrages 2a et 2b sont coulissants alors que le vitrage 2c est fixe. Les vitrages 2a et 2b, soutenus et guidés dans les cadres, sont coiffés dans des tours de verre de conception différente que sur la figure 1, conditionnés par la nécessité de déplacement des éléments du vitrage. Les côtés montants verticaux des cadres sont éloignés l'un de l'autre d'une distance qui correspond à l'extension maximale avec l'ensemble des trois vitrages. Les vitrages 2a et 2b sont guidés sur leurs côtés horizontaux supérieur et inférieur par les profilés 1 a et 1 b d'un cadre 1 tel que présenté sur la figure 1.The figure 8 shows, in horizontal section, the arrangement of glazing in a window frame with three frames and three glazings. Glazing 2a and 2b are sliding while glazing 2c is fixed. The glazings 2a and 2b, supported and guided in the frames, are capped in glass towers of different design than on the figure 1 , conditioned by the need for movement of the elements of the glazing. The vertical upright sides of the frames are spaced from each other by a distance which corresponds to the maximum extension with all three glazings. The glazings 2a and 2b are guided on their upper and lower horizontal sides by the profiles 1a and 1b of a frame 1 as presented on the figure 1 .

En position repliée, le vitrage 2a est en butée contre un arrêt 30 maintenu sur une entretoise 31. Les ailes latérales 20, qui permettent l'accrochage du vitrage pour le déplacer, comportent deux segments de profilés 20a et 20b fixés l'un à l'autre par des éléments de vis ou goupilles 21 avec maintien des entretoises 22a et 22b. A l'extrémité opposée du vitrage, le montant vertical du tour de verre consiste en un profilé 40 avec une plaque frontale 40a, une structure latérale de préhension 40b, creuse et munie d'une lame de fermeture 40c s'étendant en saillie à l'extrémité extérieure de ladite plaque frontale. A l'autre extrémité de la plaque 40a, le montant vertical du tour de verre consiste en un agencement de profil en U 40d avec une aile retenant une brosse 6a et une aile d'appui destinée à venir s'emboîter dans l'agencement de profil en U 50d du cadre voisin. L'élément 40 du tour de verre est serré contre le vitrage 2a par une entretoise 41 actionnée par un système à vis et écrou 42 accessible dans la structure de préhension 40b.In the folded position, the glazing 2a is in abutment against a stop 30 held on a spacer 31. The lateral wings 20, which allow the attachment of the glazing to move it, comprise two segment segments 20a and 20b fixed to each other. other by means of screws or pins 21 with holding spacers 22a and 22b. At the opposite end of the glazing, the vertical upright of the glass tower consists of a profile 40 with a front plate 40a, a lateral gripping structure 40b, hollow and provided with a closing blade 40c projecting at the outer end of said front plate. At the other end of the plate 40a, the vertical upright of the glass tower consists of a U-shaped profile arrangement 40d with a wing retaining a brush 6a and a support flange intended to fit into the arrangement of U-shaped profile 50d of the neighboring frame. The element 40 of the glass tower is clamped against the glazing 2a by a spacer 41 actuated by a screw and nut system 42 accessible in the gripping structure 40b.

En appui contre l'entretoise 42, le tour de verre 44 du vitrage fixe 2c est logé dans l'espace entre les profilés 1 c et 1 d du cadre placé dans l'encadrement à l'opposé du vitrage 2a. Ce tour de verre est identique à celui désigné par 17 à la figure 1 et engagé entre les profilés 1 a et 1 b du cadre 1. A l'extrémité opposée du vitrage 2c, un tour de verre 70 est monté contre le flanc arrière du vitrage 2c.In abutment against the spacer 42, the glass tower 44 of the fixed glazing 2c is housed in the space between the profiles 1c and 1d of the frame placed in the frame opposite the glazing 2a. This glass is identical to the one designated by 17 at figure 1 and engaged between the profiles 1a and 1b of the frame 1. At the opposite end of the glazing 2c, a glass lathe 70 is mounted against the rear flank of the glazing 2c.

Vu que l'encadrement de la figure 8 est un assemblage de trois cadres avec trois vitrages simples, le second vitrage de l'encadrement vient se placer, lors de la position de fermeture complète de la fenêtre, en vitrage intercalaire en position intermédiaire entre le premier et le troisième qui viennent d'être décrits. Le tour de verre de ce vitrage 2b intercalaire inclut, à ses deux extrémités, des éléments verticaux 50 et 60 comportant respectivement un agencement de profil en U 50d et 60d. La figure 8 présente, dans la position déployée des trois vitrages 2a, 2b et 2c, l'engagement mutuel des agencements de profil en U 40d et 50d ainsi des agencements 60d et 70d. En effet, les deux structures en U 40d et 50d sont disposées en position inverse, de sorte à créer un engagement mutuel. Les structures 60d et 70d sont également disposées en position inverse. Les engagements mutuels des structures en U 40d, 50d et 60d, 70d sont configurés de sortes à garantir le coulissement des vitrages 2a et 2b. En effet, les vitrages 2a et 2b peuvent être amenés en position ouverte par coulissement en direction du vitrage fixe 2c dans la longueur des cadres.Since the supervision of the figure 8 is an assembly of three frames with three single glazing, the second glazing of the frame is placed, in the position of complete closure of the window, intermediate glazing in intermediate position between the first and the third which have just been described. The glass turn of this intermediate glazing 2b includes, at its two ends, vertical elements 50 and 60 respectively comprising a U-profile arrangement 50d and 60d. The figure 8 presents, in the deployed position of the three glazings 2a, 2b and 2c, the mutual engagement of the U-profile arrangements 40d and 50d and arrangements 60d and 70d. Indeed, the two U-shaped structures 40d and 50d are arranged in the opposite position, so as to create a mutual commitment. The structures 60d and 70d are also arranged in the reverse position. The mutual commitments of the U-shaped structures 40d, 50d and 60d, 70d are configured in such a way as to guarantee the sliding of the glazings 2a and 2b. Indeed, the glazings 2a and 2b can be brought into the open position by sliding in the direction of the fixed glazing 2c in the length of the frames.

    characterized in that the transverse wings (8a, 9a, 8b, 9b) whose surfaces intended to come into contact with the insulation element (12) comprise at least one planar portion (Sp) and at least one notched portion (Sc) formed by a plurality of parallel lines in relief, said lines in relief having a substantially triangular profile and protruding at least partially from the plane defined by said planar portion, and the insulation element (12) whose surfaces intended to come into contact with the transverse wings (8a, 9a, 8b, 9b) comprise at least one attachment strip (Sa), said attachment strip (Sa) being formed by a cross-knurling and configured to interact with said notched portion (Sc) of the transverse wings (8a, 9a, 8b, 9b), are configured to ensure the connection of said parts of each frame,
    the width of the insulation element (12) being adjusted to the mounting as a function of the thickness of the pane or panes (2),
    in that the top surface of the insulation element (12) intended to come into contact with the upper transverse wing (8a; 8b) comprises at least one sealing strip (St), said sealing strip being configured to interact with said planar portion (Sp) of the upper transverse wing (8a; 8b) so as to limit the ingress of water through the space separating the upper transverse wing (8a; 8b) and the insulation element (12),
    and in that the sealing strip (St) is formed by a straight knurling, said straight knurling being intended to come into contact with said planar portion (Sp) of the upper transverse wing (8a; 8b) in the mounted position of the framing.
  2. Framing according to Claim 1, characterized in that the thickness of the insulation element (12) is greater than or equal to the distance separating the upper transverse wing (8a; 8b) and the lower transverse wing (9a; 9b).
  3. Framing according to either one of the preceding claims, formed by several attached frames (1), characterized in that, in each frame, a double profile section (1c) has a vertical axis of symmetry such that the transverse wings (8c, 9c, 8d, 9d) of this profile section are connected to the insulation elements (12a, 12b) of two adjacent frames.
  4. Framing according to any one of the preceding claims, characterized in that the pane or panes (2; 2a, 2b) being held between longitudinal wings (3a, 3b; 3a, 3b, 3c) of the profile sections (1 a, 1b; 1 a, 1 c, 1 b) of the frame, the latter are provided with transverse wings (8a, 8b; 8a, 8c, 8d, 8b) to hold in the frame (1) supports with rolling bearings (14; 14a, 14b) on which each single or multiple pane held by the frame rests, said single or multiple pane being slidingly mounted in the frame.
  5. Framing according to Claim 5, characterized in that, in each frame (1), several supports with rolling bearings (14; 14a, 14b) are aligned over the entire length of the bottom side of the frame, an inverted U-shaped rail (15; 15a, 15b) is placed straddling the upper transverse wings (8a, 8b; 8a, 8c, 8d, 8b) of the profile sections (1 a, 1b; 1 a, 1 c, 1 d) of the frame and one or more ball bearings (16; 16a, 16b) are each mounted on a shaft (13; 13a, 13b) supported perpendicularly by the sides of said rail.
