Definitions

  • the invention relates to a lower profile for a balcony railing, comprising a support structure extending in a longitudinal direction of the lower profile for supporting a bottom part of one or more railing posts.
  • the front edge of the balcony has a railing structure.
  • a railing structure equipped with cover plates also acts as a visibility and wind screen.
  • the railing structure is most often fastened to the side of the balcony slab, that is, to the front edge in practice.
  • a second basic way also utilised in the present invention is to have the railing structure on the balcony slab.
  • a lower support structure, such as a lower glass strip, of the cover plate structure of the balcony railing is separately fastened to the vertical posts of the railing structure and, when necessary, a lower external sill, or a similar water control, is separately fastened to the lower glass strip.
  • the lower profile for a balcony railing according to the invention provides several advantages, such as fast manufacture and installation, good strength and tightness, in particular.
  • a railing structure 20 comprises a lower profile 21, such as a lower rail 21, on top of the balcony slab.
  • the railing structure 20 comprises an upper profile 31, such as an upper rail 31, and posts 41 to 45 between the lower profile 21 and the upper profile to support the upper profile.
  • the railing structure also comprises a cover plate structure 50 formed of one or more pieces.
  • the cover plate structure 50 may be a railing glass or plate, for instance.
  • the lower profile 21 may be an aluminium strip, such as a profile strip, made by extrusion, for instance.
  • the lower profile for a balcony railing comprises a support structure 210 extending in the longitudinal direction of the lower profile to support a bottom part of one or more railing posts 41 to 45.
  • the lower profile 21 of the balcony railing also comprises in the same profile a support structure 310 extending in the longitudinal direction of the lower profile for supporting the cover plate structure 50 of the balcony railing from beneath.
  • the support structure 310 i.e. the glass strip, supporting the cover plate structure 50 is part of the same integrated lower profile where the support structure 210 for the railing posts is also provided.
  • the support structure 210 for one or more railing posts 41 to 45 on the lower profile 21 comprises a crosswise support 211 that supports the post from beneath and, on the edges of the structure, side supports 212, 213 that support the post on different sides of the bottom end of the post.
  • the support structure integrated into the same lower profile 21 for supporting the cover plate structure comprises side supports 312, 313 which, through seals 312a, 313a fastened to the side supports 312, 313, support the cover plate structure 50 at its bottom part.
  • Figures 1 to 3 show that the outer side support 212 of the support structure 210 supporting the post from below comprises as a structure projecting outwards therefrom a side support 313, which thus constitutes an inner side support 313 of the cover plate structure 50.
  • Figures 1 to 3 further show that according to an embodiment the support structure 210, 211 to 213 for supporting the bottom part of one or more railing posts 41 to 45 and the support structure 310, 312, 313 for supporting the bottom part of the cover plate structure 50 are substantially parallel when the lower profile is viewed from a direction of its end.
  • the seals 312a, 313a may be made of rubber or silicone, for instance.
  • Figure 4 shows no seals 312a, 313a.
  • the inner side support 313 of the cover plate structure in the lower profile 21 is provided with a chamber for the inner seal 313a while the outer side support 312 is provided with a protrusion for a chamber of the outer seal 312a.
  • the lower profile 21 for the balcony railing further comprises a water control surface 401 in the same profile, as in Figures 1 to 2 .
  • the water control surface 401, 403 is a structure called an external sill.
  • the water control surface 401, or 403 comprises a descending surface 401a, or 403a, receding outwards from the lower profile, i.e. in the direction of outdoor air, i.e. a surface oriented diagonally downwards, and a substantially vertical second surface 401b, or 403b, serving as its extension. It can be seen that the second surface 401b, 403b, is substantially parallel with the side supports 212, 213 and 312, 313.
  • the second surface i.e. the substantially vertical surface 401b, or 403b
  • the inclined descending surface 401a, or 403a is at an angle of 15 degrees, for example, to the horizontal.
  • the water control surface 401 on the lower profile 21 belongs to the same integral entity as the support structure 210, 211 to 213 for supporting one or more bottom parts of the railing post 41 to 45 and the support structure 310, 312, 313 for supporting the bottom part of the cover plate structure 50 of the balcony railing. Consequently, the element in question is the lower profile 21 of the balcony railing to be installed on the slab 10, the same profile being also provided with a bearing/support profile for the railing glass, or a similar cover plate 50, of the balcony railing as well as an external sill profile.
  • Figure 3 shows a lower profile which is not an embodiment of the invention.
  • An integrated lower profile 21 intended for a balcony railing containing several structures and a railing structure 20 containing such a lower profile are disclosed above.
  • a height adjuster 500 to 501 is provided for adjusting the height position of the lower profile 21 in relation to the balcony slab 10. This enables the effect of the inclination of the balcony slab to be eliminated, i.e. the lower profile 21 to be positioned horizontally even if the balcony slab 10 were inclined.
  • the lower profile 21 comprises on its surface 211 a through hole 505 which is penetrable in a substantially vertical direction, i.e. the adjustment is carried out by a tool through the surface 211 from top towards bottom by means of a driver 500a, i.e. a turning point, provided in the middle of the part 500.
  • the height adjuster 500 to 501 includes a male thread sleeve 500 rotatable from above on its driver and cooperating with a female thread sleeve 501 provided in a hole penetrating through the lower surface of the lower profile 21.
  • the driver 501a is a hexagon socket base, for instance.
  • the rotatable male thread sleeve 500 is fastened to the balcony slab 10 by a screw 500b.
  • the through hole 505 is covered by a shield plug 506 after the adjustment has been made.
