Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a construction supporting and connecting block used for assembling a frame construction to be used for windows or doors and made of metal profiles, preferably from extruded aluminium profiles or fitting between two elements with varying distance and/or levelling other construction elements relative to each other.
  • Each block comprises two interconnecting parts with the interacting surfaces there between.
  • the block is preferably made of a none-metal composite material, e.g. of a plastic by an injection moulding.
  • frame constructions used as windows or door metal frames can be manufactured from metal profiles.
  • the frame element or the frame construction consists of a frame inner part made of a metal profile facing the inner building interior and an outer frame part, a profile facing the outside.
  • Those inner and outer profiles shall be interconnected to form a frame construction which is to be formerly fixed by suitable means, such as glue and/or screw, when assembled to the outer frame which is firmly fixed to the surrounding walls.
  • GB 1 360 790 teaches connecting elements for corners and length interconnection of the frame parts without a metal contact, so called "thermal break".
  • the connecting elements having a ridges and grooves are manufactured by plastic extrusion or moulding and must me exactly dimensioned to the hollow space where those are to be inserted for connection of the two separate profiles in one-piece framing element.
  • This solution requires a precisely dimensioning of the connecting elements to the hollow space into the profiles where those connecting elements are to be inserted for interconnection, which is not always possible to achieve or might be rather costly.
  • NL8901757 discloses a connecting block comprising two parts where two inclined interacting surfaces facing each other are provided with saw-like interacting teeth.
  • teeth can snap stepwise and thus adjust and fix the relative to position of one block halve to the other one.
  • This block fits in different gaps but a disadvantage of this adjustment of the block thickness or its vertical dimension defining the distance between the supporting surfaces is that the connecting block parts have been adjusted to the required height or the distance between the supported profiles after their insertion between the profiles. Therefore due to relative to movement of the block parts they are lengthwise shifted one relative to the other so that their edges do not align.
  • GB1272869 discloses stackable spacers used for accommodation of a reinforcing bar in one of pair recesses of different depth in order to vary a distance between the reinforcing bar and a shuttering. This stepwise adjustment of the distance defined by the dimensions of the spacers and the pre-fabricated depth of the recesses is not useful for fine adjustment of the spacer size for fitting in the different gaps.
  • US 2003/0110880 A1 discloses a construction block according to the preamble of claim 1.
  • non-expensive supporting and connecting blocks for supporting the frame profiles or levelling of two construction elements relative to each other.
  • the blocks are suitable for inserting in the various gaps with some tolerance and for assembling the frames from the metal profiles.
  • the invention provides a principle to use standardised supporting and connecting blocks' parts for fitting in different hollow spaces or gaps and/or keeping a distance between two profiles.
  • a block part interacting surface geometry providing a partial and/or complete conforming of the opposite interacting surface while keeping the block parts edges aligned and mounting holes in those parts coaxial.
  • the block edges define the interacting surface area of each block part and side gables which are preferably perpendicular to the interacting surface.
  • a first objective of the invention is providing a construction supporting and connecting block assembled from at least two block parts, the block parts with interacting surfaces of a particular geometry or shape having the different interacting levels on their interacting surfaces.
  • a construction supporting and connecting block according to claim 1 is provided.
  • the both block parts having the aligned edges for ensuring meeting and coaxial aligning through holes for guiding screws on both parts, can be manufactured of the same or different thicknesses or heights.
  • the construction supporting and connecting block can have at least one block part with a different height than the other block part.
  • the second objective of the invention is manufacturing the supporting and connecting block parts of the standard size with the aligning edges such that through holes for guiding mounting screws are meet coaxially when parts having the different individual heights are stacked one onto the other so as to allow the block height variation due to a combination of the block parts with different heights for fitting in the different gaps.
  • the preliminary adjustment of the block height can be achieved by the combination of two differently dimensioned (in height) parts as above.
  • This allows a preliminary variation of the supporting and connecting block outer dimension or the height which defines a distance between the block parts supporting surfaces.
  • the supporting and connecting block of the approximately desired height is assembled, and the block will fit into the particular hollow space where it is to be inserted, e.g. between the metal profiles to be fixed together.
  • the outer dimension of the supporting and connecting block or its height is modified in height prior to its placement between the frame inner and outer profiles, or alternatively, between the outer frame construction fixed to the walls and the window frame, for support. This eliminates the distance adjustment after mounting of the frames which is more convenient and saves labour time.
  • the construction supporting and connecting block when the first block part is stacked on the second block part by their interacting surfaces has a first intermediate level of at least one block part which provides at least two assembling positions of the first block part relative to the second block part so as to vary the distance between the block supporting surfaces defining the block total height between two values.
  • a first assembled position of the block where the first block part defines a first minimal distance value between the supporting surfaces relative to the second block part or a minimal outer dimension of the assembled block or the block height.
  • the first level of one block part interacts with a second level of the second block part fully conforming to each other at all levels; so that all partial interacting surfaces on all levels of the first block part interacting with all partial interacting surfaces on all levels of the opposite block part.
  • a second assembled position of the block is where the first block part defines a second increased distance or the block height value relative to the second block part.
  • the first intermediate level interacts with one of the first and the second levels and at least the levels is contact free forming a gap between the block parts.
  • One block part partial interacting surface is contact free and does not interact with the opposite interacting surfaces of the second block part.
  • the partial interacting surface of the first intermediate level of the first block part is interacting with the opposite partial interacting surface of the second block part.
  • the distance between the supporting surfaces of the block can be varied between the first distance value, the second distance value for the rectangular block, the third distance value and the fourth distance value for the quadrate block by turning the first block part relative to the second block part on 0°, 180°, 90° and 270° respectively parallel to their interacting surfaces providing the fine block height adjustment.
  • the configuration of the interacting block parts' interacting surfaces shape or their geometry provides either a partial or a complete conforming by one interacting surface of the first block part of the other interacting surface of the second block part.
  • the construction supporting and connecting block according to the invention might have through holes which serve also as a guiding means for the mounting screws used for firmly fixing the frame profiles into the one-piece window frame or fixing e.g. the window frame to the outer frame mounted to the surrounding walls.
  • the fine stepwise adjustment of the supporting and connecting block outer dimension or the distance between the block parts supporting surfaces is also conducted prior to insertion of the block in the space between two profiles for a tight fitting.
  • the rotation of the one block part relative to the other parallel to their interacting surfaces can be also used for levelling the different constructions that need to be levelled and then, optionally, firmly fixed together, such as furniture parts or other building constructions.
  • the construction supporting and connecting block is assembled from parts having the same size of the supporting surfaces or the identical periphery shape but the same or the different heights and stacked one on the other in different relative to each other positions. When one part is rotated relative to the other and having consequently different gaps between the interacting surfaces, this results in the different height values for fitting in the spaces of varying sizes.
  • the block height is finely adjusted by rotation one part relative to the other one parallel to their interacting surfaces for use as a leveling of two parts relative to each other, supporting and/or connecting of two construction elements, one relative to the other.
  • a further object of the invention is a frame element forming a part of a frame construction such as a door frame or a window frame and assembled from two metal profiles, preferably extruded aluminium profiles, with the supporting and connecting blocks according to the invention.
  • the frame element of a construction element such as a fixed window frame element firmly connected to an outer frame fixed to the surrounding wall, having at least one metal profile further comprises the construction supporting and connecting block according to the invention for mounting to the profile by connecting means through the guiding holes prefabricated in the block parts.
  • a further object of the invention is a door or window frame construction manufactured from the metal profiles by use of the construction supporting and connecting blocks according to the invention.
  • the frame construction with the frame element using the block which comprises the two block parts having at least one the pre-fabricated through hole for guiding a mounting screw or a bolt through for fixing the metal profiles together.
  • the distance value between the block supporting surfaces, when the parts are stacked one on the other, can be varied so that the interacting surfaces interact fully or partly with each other and the distance value can be varied stepwise between the first minimal distance value, the second increased distance value by the rotation of the first block part relative to the second block part on 180° parallel to their interacting surfaces, and the third increased distance value and the forth maximum distance value by the rotation of the first quadrate block part relative to the second quadrate block part respectively on 90° and 270° parallel to their interacting surfaces so as to fit the block within the space of the varied dimension.
  • a further object of the invention is methods of assembling a frame element with construction supporting connecting blocks according to the invention and/or assembling a stationary and a sliding winding frame construction made of the frame elements according to the invention into the outer frame fixed to the surrounding building wall.
  • a method of assembling the frame element or the door or the window frame into the outer frame fixed to the surrounding building walls has the following steps.
  • the profiles are cut in the appropriate length; the standardized block parts of the appropriate height dimensioned corresponding to a distance between the profiles are chosen, the block parts are stacked in the appropriate manner and turned, if necessary, the first block part relative to the second block part for a fine adjustment of the gap value between the block parts so as to achieve the desired block height or thickness equal to the distance between the profiles to be connected.
  • the two profiles are to be fixed to each other by a suitable fixing means such as screw, bolt and nut, etc. guided through the block.
  • An advantage of the invention is obtaining much easier and cheaper construction supporting and connecting blocks of the desired dimension, use of the standard pre-fabricated block parts of different height or thickness indicated by the different colours for differently dimensioned frames or spaces to fit in.
  • the blocks make the manufacturing the sliding window or door frames cheaper and easier.
  • the movable or sliding frame construction 100 is supported by wheels mounted in the lower part 72,82 of the sash 100 that run on a track mounted in the lower part 83 of the outer frame 200.

  • the opposite part 11, 13 has four cylindrical tube-like extensions 30 that fit tightly into the corresponding holes 31 when the block 1 is assembled so as to keep the block as one piece and do not allow the movement of the one part relative to the other one in the assembled state.
