Definitions

  • Glazed closures for openings such as windows and doors are in common use in industrial, commercial and residential construction.
  • An illustration of a prior art glazed closure 100 is depicted in Figs. 1A, 1B and 1C .
  • a prior art glazed closure 100 such as a window or a door, comprises a glaze assembly 101, and frame elements 120.
  • Glaze assembly 101 usually comprises one or more glazes 110 and a support element 140, such as a spacer 141.
  • the hollow space between glaze assembly 101 and frame element 120 is typically filled with a filling material 130.
  • pressure seal elements 150 may be used to seal a gap between edges 121 and 121' of frame element 120 and glaze assembly 101.
  • sealing adhesive material such as silicon
  • Adhesives means 130A and pressure seal elements 150 may typically provide either strong but permanent fixing of frame element 120 to glaze assembly 101, such as the case with silicon adhesive, or weak fixing that allows realigning of frame element 120 to glaze assembly 101, such as the case with rubber stripe means.
  • filling materials 130 and adhesives and/or pressure seal elements 150 may be insufficient in order to prevent disengagement of glaze assembly 101 from frame element 120, for example when closure 100 is pulled along a slide rail (not shown) e.g. in the direction of arrow A, typically in a substantially horizontal direction, by applying pulling force on frame element 120, especially when closure 100 comprises heavy glaze assembly 101.
  • filling materials 130, adhesive materials 130A and pressure seal elements 150 do not provide sufficient resistance to the force applied to frame element 120 and frame element 120 departs from glaze assembly 101. This phenomenon is especially common in large and heavy glaze assemblies due to higher friction forces.
