Definitions

  • the subject matter of the invention is a shutter, in particular made of plastic elements and used to cover and/or protect the window openings.
  • Shutters have been known for hundreds of years, and their structure, consisting of a frame with slats placed therein, basically stays the same.
  • the most frequently used material for shutters is wood, which, however, has the disadvantage of being very sensitive to atmospheric conditions. Wooden shutters, which in majority of cases are elements placed outside, require renovation every several years, which considerably increases the cost of their use.
  • a non-wooden shutter is known from the patent description of US 5,778,958 A entitled: "Window shutter and method therefor.”
  • the shutter is made of a one-piece, moulded plastic insulating material which has strengthening in the form of square-sawn timbers.
  • the internal element thanks to the recesses, imitates wooden slats being in the closed position and stretched horizontally between vertical square-sawn timbers.
  • the shutter has grooves in which hinges are installed, used to join one-element panels together or to the edges of window openings.
  • shutters most frequently contain a frame and slats which are positioned horizontally with the bottom edge gets out of plumb outside.
  • Typical frames of windows, doors and shutters made of plastic profiles, e.g. PVC, consist of four members cut at a specific angle and welded together.
  • profiles are connected together by means of corners.
  • a kit for angle connection of plastic hollow profiles, which are ended at least partially with a cant situated in the cant plane and contain adhesive and plastic inserts in the form of bodies for joining hollow profiles in their cant.
  • Plastic inserts are embedded at least partially in metal chambers.
  • recesses in the form of pockets are formed for adhesive which is introduced there and after hardening binds the insert to the profiles.
  • the purpose of the present invention is to create a shutter resistant to atmospheric conditions and of the appearance similar to the shutters used for centuries.
  • the subject matter of the invention is the shutter comprising a frame and slats embedded in side elements of the frame, while the frame is formed from first profiles and second profiles made of plastic with longitudinal spaces and/or internal chambers limited by walls, while the first profiles and the second profiles are joined together at ends by means of corner joints, and the side elements being the second profiles in their internal walls located at vicinity of frame inside have openings, which with their outline correspond to the cross section of the slats whose ends are embedded therein.
  • each of the first profiles has an internal wall and a middle chamber adjoining the internal wall
  • each of the second profiles has a middle wall separating the internal chamber
  • each of corner joints for joining profiles comprises a corner element, which has a shape of a joining block, which, with one end, is embedded in the middle chamber of the first profile and with the other end is placed in a cut-out made in the internal wall of the second profile and is in touch with the middle wall of the second profile with the front surface, while the middle wall of the second profile is pressed to the front surface of the joining block by means of the first joining element determining the position of the joining block in relation to the second profile, and the position of the joining block in relation to the first profile is determined by means of the second joining member.
  • the first joining element is a screw which goes through a through hole made in the middle wall and which is screwed into the threaded opening made in the joining block in the front surface side
  • the second joining element is a screwable element which is screwed into a threaded opening made in the joining block in the side of the surface adjoining the internal wall of the first profile.
  • the joining block is embedded in the internal chamber of the first profile together with the first arm of the stiffening element, whose other arm located at an angle in relation to the first arm is located in the middle chamber of the second profile and is adjoining, from the middle chamber side, the middle wall of the second profile, which is enclosed from both sides by a joining block and the other arm of the stiffening element.
  • the joining block has cylindrical pins protruding from the front surface, which are inserted into openings of the middle wall of the second profile and into openings of the second arm of the stiffening element.
  • the stiffening element is in a shape of a bent flat bar with two arms, of which the first arm is placed horizontally, and the other arm is a vertical arm.
  • the stiffening element is in a shape of a bent flat bar with two arms, of which the first arm is placed horizontally and has additional stiffening containing a vertical external part, a top horizontal part bent towards the other arm and a vertical internal part bent towards a horizontal part of the first arm.
  • the joining block is made of metal or plastic.

  • the horizontal profiles 10 and 19 and the vertical profiles 18 and 20 are profiles which are similar in shape to profiles of windows, doors and glazed external facades. Usually such profiles have a rectangular cross section, in which some walls may have offsets forming steps. Inside the profile there may be longitudinal walls, dividing the profile's internal space into chambers.
  • Profiles may have protruding elements, which, with some walls, may create chambers or one-side open spaces, in which filling may be placed, such as glazing or other elements which fill the entire interior of the window frame or the shutter frame.
  • the shutter may have a form of other polygon, a triangle for example, and the number of frame elements may change, and whose side elements may be get out of plumb at an angle dependent upon the shutter dimensions.
  • slats 80 are placed, which are internal filling of the shutter 1.
  • the slats 80 are embedded with their ends in openings 128 made in perforated wall 127 of side elements, which in this solution are the vertical profiles 18, 20.
