Definitions
- the invention relates to a glazing system for a balcony, for example.
- a balcony glazing system comprises several glass panes with strip structures at the top and bottom edges thereof.
- a balcony glazing system also consists of top and bottom frame structures that are fastened to the balcony structures.
- the top frame structure is usually a long shape that is nearly a U profile with the open portion downward and having a bracket extending inward.
- the bottom frame structure is similar to the top frame structure, a straight shape, nearly a U profile with its open part upward.
- the top strip structure of each glass pane comprises rolls at least on the edges of the pane. The rolls support against a protrusion in the top frame structure, which makes it possible to move the glass panes along the top frame structure to different parts of the balcony.
- the bottom strip structure of each glass pane is positioned in the U groove of the bottom frame structure, which prevents the movement of the window element in any other direction than in the longitudinal direction of the top and bottom frames.
- Movable glass panes can usually be moved along the frame structures to the same place where they no longer protect the balcony. They can then also be turned crosswise to the longitudinal axis of the frame structures and stacked close to each other. When turning the panes crosswise, the top frame structure and the turning part of the top strip structure of each glass pane act as hinges.
- the patent publication WO 2009131394 presents a glazing system according to the preamble of claim 1.
- glazing systems of the prior art have their problems.
- the moving and locking mechanisms of the strip structures of the panes require space, which is why the actual transparent section of the pane needs to be made that much smaller.
- the invention provides several advantages.
- the top and/or bottom strip structure of the window elements is compact and permits a large translucent portion in each window element.
- a balcony can be defined as a space that extends outside the wall of a building, has a floor and a railing, and a door may open thereto from the building.

Description
- The invention relates to a glazing system for a balcony, for example.
- A balcony glazing system comprises several glass panes with strip structures at the top and bottom edges thereof. A balcony glazing system also consists of top and bottom frame structures that are fastened to the balcony structures. The top frame structure is usually a long shape that is nearly a U profile with the open portion downward and having a bracket extending inward. The bottom frame structure is similar to the top frame structure, a straight shape, nearly a U profile with its open part upward. The top strip structure of each glass pane comprises rolls at least on the edges of the pane. The rolls support against a protrusion in the top frame structure, which makes it possible to move the glass panes along the top frame structure to different parts of the balcony. The bottom strip structure of each glass pane is positioned in the U groove of the bottom frame structure, which prevents the movement of the window element in any other direction than in the longitudinal direction of the top and bottom frames.
- Movable glass panes can usually be moved along the frame structures to the same place where they no longer protect the balcony. They can then also be turned crosswise to the longitudinal axis of the frame structures and stacked close to each other. When turning the panes crosswise, the top frame structure and the turning part of the top strip structure of each glass pane act as hinges. The patent publication
WO 2009131394 presents a glazing system according to the preamble of claim 1. - However, glazing systems of the prior art have their problems. The moving and locking mechanisms of the strip structures of the panes require space, which is why the actual transparent section of the pane needs to be made that much smaller. Thus, there is a need for a new type of glazing system.
- It is an object of the invention to provide an improved glazing system. This is achieved by the glazing system of claim 1.
- Some preferred embodiments of the invention are disclosed in the dependent claims.
- The invention provides several advantages. The top and/or bottom strip structure of the window elements is compact and permits a large translucent portion in each window element.
- The invention will now be described in greater detail by means of preferred embodiments and the accompanying drawings, in which:
-
Figure 1 shows a balcony glazing system; -
Figure 2 shows one window element of a balcony glazing system; -
Figure 3A shows a roll and disc-like structure from the side; -
Figure 3B shows a roll and disc-like structure from the top; -
Figure 4 shows a roll in the top frame structure; -
Figure 5 shows how the window element is turned sideways; -
Figure 6 shows the roll and disc-like structure when the window element is turned sideways; and -
Figure 7 shows how the window element is locked sideways while the roll acts as part of the circumference of the disc-like structure and defines the component density of the window elements. - In the following, various embodiments will be described with reference to the above-mentioned figures. However, the invention is not restricted to the disclosed embodiments but the presented solutions are examples of feasible implementation manners. Features of various embodiments may also be combined unless they are specifically conflicting or alternative with regard to their technical implementation.
- The window elements are suited for use in a balcony or terrace, for instance. Let us now examine a solution related to the present glazing system by means of
Figure 1 . Theglazing system 100 is generally suitable as transparent walls in aspace 102 that may be a balcony or a terrace of abuilding 104. - A balcony can be defined as a space that extends outside the wall of a building, has a floor and a railing, and a door may open thereto from the building. A terrace is a similar space, but it may be thought to be on ground plane, so a separate floor is not necessarily included in a terrace.
- The
top frame structure 108 of theglazing system 100 comprises one or more straighttop rail parts top rail parts possible corner 106. The angle between thetop rail parts corner 106, but the angle α conforms with thecorner 106. Thetop rail parts - The
bottom frame structure 114 of theglazing system 100 may comprise one or more straightbottom rail parts corner 106 of thespace 102 an angle in the same manner as thetop frame structure 108. Eachbottom rail part top frame structure 108 and thebottom frame structure 114 with their top andbottom rails - The
glazing system 100 comprises at least twowindow elements window element 112 to 126 is movable. Each window element may comprise a pane made of glass or some other material that permeates light to a desired extent and in a desired manner. The pane may comprise agents absorbing and/or scattering optical radiation at a desired band (approximately 10 nm to 500 µm). This way, the pane may be resistant to ultraviolet radiation. Similarly, the permeation of infrared and thermal radiation may be adjusted in the pane. The pane may also be coloured, in which case its light transmission at different wavelengths is not the same. When the pane comprises scattering particles, its colour, diffused or un-diffused permeation may be controlled with the size and number of particles in a desired manner. - The
top strip structure 128 of theglazing system 100 is fastened to at least onemovable window element 112 to 126. Thetop strip structure 128 of each window element comprises two rolls, for instance, (rolls 108 inFigure 2 ) on the edges of theglass element 122 to 126. The rolls support against a bracket in thetop rail part window elements 122 to 126 along thetop rail part top frame structure 108 to different parts of thespace 102. - A
bottom strip structure 130 of theglazing system 100 is fastened to the at least onemovable window element 122 to 126. Thebottom strip structure 130 of each window element is positioned in the U groove of thebottom frame structure pane 122 to 126 in any other direction than in the longitudinal direction of the top andbottom frames - The
glazing system 100 may also comprise at least onewindow element 120 that is not movable along thetop frame structure 108 andbottom frame structure 114. Yet thewindow element 120 made stationary in this manner may comprise abottom strip structure 132 andtop strip structure 134 and be turnable sideways to open up thespace 102 relative to theother rail parts stationary window element 120 is fastened by its hinge structure.Figure 1 indicates with a dashed line thestationary pane 120 that has been turned sideways. For turning, thetop strip structure 134 of thestationary pane 120 may have ahandle 136 to help grip and turn it. - In
Figure 1 , thewindow element 126 is being moved over thecorner 106. - The
bottom frame structure 116 may have aport 138, with which thewindow elements 120 to 126 may be turned aside in the same manner as thewindow element 120 indicated by a dashed line. -
Figure 2 shows onewindow element 100 that comprises a topedge strip structure 128 and a bottomedge strip structure 130. Thetop strip structure 128 may be continuous along the entire length of the pane, as shown by the dashed line, or thetop strip structure 128 may comprise at least two separate parts, as shown by the continuous line. Thetop strip structure 128 comprises closed to the edge of the window element aroll 108 that is intended for moving thewindow element 100 along thetop frame structure 108. Thetop strip structure 128 also comprises a disc-like structure 210 that serves as an adjuster of the distances between the window elements, when they are moved aside and stacked against each other to make thespace 102 open. Thestrip structure 128 also comprises asupport bracket 212. Thesupport bracket 212 is usually a circle with a section defined by a chord shorter than the diameter deleted from it. - The
top strip structure 128 comprises at the edge of the window element 100 aroll 208 for moving the window element along the frame strip structure. However, this edge does not necessarily comprise a support bracket. -
Figures 3A and3B show aroll 208 and disc-like structure 210. In these figures, theroll 108 and disc-like structure 210 are at an angle to each other. Generally, theroll 108 and disc-like structure 210 may be at an angle differing from a right-angle, but most commonly the angle between theroll 108 and disc-like structure 210 is at least approximately 90°. The disc-like structure 210 comprises a round structure of the mid-part of thewindow element 100 fastening element, in which a bearing is part of the structure. The disc-like structure 210 is in the middle of a fastening fitting (the structure ofFigure 3A ) and together with the bearing forms an entity. From the disc-like structure 210 a part has been cut off, having a diameter larger than that of theroll 208 and a shape that conforms to some extent to the shape of theroll 208, and theroll 208 is positioned in its place, the roll being in size and shape such that it forms the cut-off part of the circumference of the disc-like structure 210. This way the solution provides a convenient, smaller and denser total structure, with which thewindow element 122 to 126 connects to thetop rail part top frame structure 108. - The
roll 208 forms the outer circumference of the disc-like structure 210 on the edge of thewindow element 122 to 126 on which the hinge for turning thewindow element 122 to 126 also resides. - In
Figure 4 , thetop frame structure 108 abuts thestructures 400 of the space. Thetop frame structure 108 comprises asupport bracket 402, on which theroll 208 may roll back and forth. At the same time, theroll 208 together with the rest of thetop strip structures 128 supports thewindow element 122 to 126. -
Figure 5 shows a situation, in which the window elements are stacked aside to the edge of the balcony, for instance. Onewindow element 500 has already been turned to a 90° angle to the direction of thetop strip structure 128 and asecond window element 122 to 126 is being turned. The turning takes place relative to the hinge that is on one edge of eachwindow element 120 to 126. Thefirst window element 500 does not necessarily need to be movable along thetop frame structure 108. When themovable window element 122 to 126 has been brought into place for turning into a stack, thetop rail part top frame structure 108 has anopening 502 so that theroll 208, disc-like structure 210 andsupport bracket 212 can be detached from thetop rail part window element 500. -
Figure 6 shows the same situation asFigure 5 , butFigure 6 now shows in more detail theroll 208, disc-like structure 210 andsupport bracket 212. When thewindow element 122 to 126 is turned, theroll 208 moves away from thesupport bracket 402 and into the open groove of thetop rail part top frame structure 108, whereby thewindow element 122 to 126 may come down to some extent or even drop out of place. However, this does not happen, because thesupport bracket 212 then comes into contact with thesecond support bracket 600. At the same time, the lockingcomb 602 of the top frame structure 300 locks thewindow element 122 to 126 in place as thesupport bracket 212 twists into the recess in thecomb 602. -
Figure 7 shows the same situation asFigures 5 and6. Figure 7 shows that when thesupport bracket 212 is a circle with a section defined by a chord shorter than the diameter removed from it (i.e. it is a half-moon in shape), thewindow element 122 to 126 may also be moved in the area of the lockingcomb 602 of thetop frame structure 108top rail part support bracket 212 makes it possible for thesupport bracket 212 to pass thebrackets 700 of the lockingcomb 602, when thewindow element 122 to 126 moves in the direction of thetop frame structure 108. But when thewindow element 122 to 126 is turned, thesupport bracket 212 pushes into therecess 702 of the lockingcomb 602 and thewindow element 122 to 126 can no longer move in the direction of thetop frame structure 108.Figure 7 also shows how theroll 208 of thefirst window element 120 is turned crosswise into theopen groove 702 of thetop frame structure 108. In this example, thefirst window element 120 is also possibly movable by means of theroll 208. Because theroll 208 forms the circumference of the disc-like structure 210, it also defines the distance between thewindow elements 120 to 126 to be suitable, since theroll 208 of anywindow element 120 to 124 is in contact with the disc-like structure 210 of thetop strip structure 128 of thenext window element 122 to 126. - Even though the
first window element 120 were not movable, the disc-like structure 210 of thefirst window element 120 without theroll 208 defines the minimum distance between thewindow elements 120 to 126. However, the second andthird window element circumferential structures 210, to which theroll 208 also belongs. Correspondingly, any consecutive window elements i, i + 1, wherein i is an integer larger than two, touch each other by their disc-like structures 210, to which theroll 208 also belongs, in the manner shown inFigure 7 . - Even though the invention is described above with reference to the examples of the attached drawings, it is clear that the invention is not restricted to them, but may be modified in a variety of ways within the scope of the accompanying claims.
Claims (3)
- A glazing system, which comprises top (108) and bottom (114) frame structures and at least two window elements (120 to 126), of which at least one window element (122 to 126) is movable along said frame structures; each window element (120 to 126) having a top strip structure (128) comprising a minimum-distance structure (210) that serves as an adjuster of distances between the window elements (120 to 126) for defining minimum distances therebetween when they are moved aside and stacked against each other, said top strip structure (128) further comprising at least one supporting roll (208) supported in a top rail part of the top frame structure, enabling the moving of said at least one window element (122 to 126), characterised in that the minimum-distance structure of each window element (120 to 126) comprises a disc-like structure (210), the supporting roll (208) is positioned in place of a part having been cut off from the disc-like structure (210), the supporting roll (208) being in size and shape such that it forms the cut-off part of the circumference of the disc-like structure (210).
- A glazing system as claimed in claim 1, characterised in that in consecutive window elements (120 to 126), the disc-like structure (210) of the first window element (120 to 124) and the roll (208) on the circumference of the disc-like structure (210) of the second window element (122 to 126) are arranged to touch each other when the window elements (120 to 126) have been turned and stacked to the side.
- A glazing system as claimed in claim 1, characterised in that the disc-like structure (210) with its roll (208) is on the hinged edge of the top strip structure (128) of the window element (122 to 126) which makes it possible to turn the window element (122 to 126).
