Definitions

  • the present patent application for industrial invention relates to a fixing square for frame comprising profiles inserted in the square channel.
  • the invention relates to the sector of fixing means for door and window frames, i.e. for architectural elements realized to close the openings obtained in masonry walls.
  • the fixing square that is the object of the present invention is used to connect two profiles of a frame disposed in such manner to form a "T", to which two glass-stops are fitted; said fixing square comprises two plates in orthogonal position, each plate being intended to be inserted inside a profile.
  • T-shaped frames for door and window are composed of two profiles, each profile comprising an external lateral surface and a “T"-longitudinal groove provided on said external lateral surface; said "T"-shaped groove comprises a rectangular base housing and a reduced longitudinal opening.
  • said groove is axially accessible through two axial openings, each of them being disposed in proximal position to the free end section of the profile.
  • Said end section of the profile is intended to be stopped against the external lateral surface of the other profile, in correspondence of the "T"-shaped groove of the latter profile in such manner that said two grooves are aligned.
  • the "T"-shaped frame comprises a fixing square, which comprises a first wing and a second wing, which are perpendicular and have the same width and height as the base housing of the "T"-shaped groove of the profiles.
  • each wing is such to position the wing inside the base housing of the "T"-shaped groove of the corresponding profile, being axially inserted inside said base housing and crossing one of the two axial openings of the "T"-shaped groove.
  • the mounting of a "T"-shaped frame provides for axially inserting a wing of the fixing square in the "T"-shaped groove, making said fixing square slide until it reaches the desired position; successively, the other wing of the fixing screw is inserted in the axial opening of the "T"-shaped groove provided on the other profile.
  • the insertion of the fixing square must occur before the profiles are in the final position, because when the first profile is positioned perpendicularly to the second profile, with its free end section stopped against the lateral surface of the second profile, the latter indirectly covers the axial opening of the first profile.
  • the "T"-shaped grooves of said profiles are intended to act as fixing housings for devices, commonly known as glass-stop, each of them being intended to be fitted to a "T"-shaped groove of a profile in order to obtain a stop edge for a glass positioned in the window or door frame.
  • said glass-stop device (hereinafter simply defined as “glass-stop”) comprises elastic tabs that are fitted on the edges of the opening of the "T"-shaped groove of a profile and extend inside the "T"-shaped groove.
  • the glass-stop fitted to the first profile and the glass-stop fitted to the second profile need to be stopped one against the other in such manner to be positioned orthogonally and uninterruptedly one after the other; more precisely, in case of a quadrangular glass, said glass is supported by a perimeter frame composed of four profiles that are mounted perpendicularly and consecutively, with the four edges of the glass stopped against said four profiles; in such a case the glass is kept in the chosen position by means of a frame composed of four consecutive perpendicular glass-stops, each of them being fixed on the side of the corresponding profile facing towards the glass.
  • DE202013009756 discloses a fixing square intended to connect two profiles of a frame and comprising two wings, each wing being provided with an eccentric locking means configured in such manner to let the total width of the wing increase.
  • US3375029 discloses a frame comprising two profiles and one fixing square disposed between said two profiles.
  • the main purpose of the present invention is to overcome the aforementioned drawbacks of the prior art by disclosing a fixing square that simplifies the mounting, dismounting and blocking operations.
  • Another purpose is to disclose a fixing square that, in addition to satisfying the aforementioned purpose, allows for fitting two glass-stops to two profiles connected by said fixing square and positioning said glass-stops in consecutive adjacent position in such manner that they are stopped and positioned uninterruptedly, one after the other, in correspondence of the fixing square.
  • the frame of the invention comprises:
  • the peculiarity of the frame consists in the fact that at least one wing of the fixing square has a lower width than the longitudinal opening of the "T"-shaped groove wherein it is inserted.
  • Said at least one wing of the fixing square comprises an eccentric locking means configured in such manner to let the total length of the wing increase until a width at least equal to the width of the base housing wherein the wing is inserted.
  • the advantage obtained by reducing the width of the wings of the fixing square and by inserting the eccentric locking means is the simplification of the mounting operations of the profiles and of the fixing square, inserting said wings into the longitudinal openings of the "T"-shaped grooves of the profiles, and then actuating the fixing means that, by increasing the total width of the wing, prevents the wing from moving inside the base housing of the groove or from coming out backwards through the axial opening.
  • the frame (100) of the invention comprises a first profile (P1) and a second profile (P2) connected to the first profile (P1).
  • the first profile (P1) has a "T"-shaped longitudinal groove (S1) provided on one external lateral surface (B1).
  • Such "T"-shaped groove (S1) of the first profile (P1) is sectionally provided with a base housing (1) having a width (L1) and a longitudinal opening (1 a) with width (L1a).
  • the second profile (P2) has a first "T"-shaped longitudinal groove (S2) obtained on one external lateral surface (B2).
  • Such first "T"-shaped groove (S1) of the second profile (P2) is sectionally provided with a base housing (2) having a width (L2) and a longitudinal opening (2a) with width (L2a).
  • the second profile (P2) has an end section (C) where the first "T"-shaped groove (S2) of the second profile (P2) ends.
  • Such end section (C) is stopped against the external lateral surface (B1) of the first profile (P1) in correspondence of the "T"-shaped groove (S1) of the first profile (P1), in such manner that the "T"-shaped groove of the first profile (P1) and the first "T”-shaped groove of the second profile (P2) are mutually aligned.
  • the second profile (P2) has a second "T"-shaped longitudinal groove (S3) provided on the external lateral surface (B2) in opposite position to the first "T"-shaped groove (S2) of the second profile (P2).
  • Such second "T"-shaped groove (S3) of the second profile ends on the end section (C) of the second profile.
  • the second "T"-shaped groove (S3) of the second profile (P2) and the “T"-shaped groove (S1) of the first profile (P1) are mutually aligned.

  • the frame (100) comprises a second fixing square (3) inserted in the second "T"-shaped groove (S3) of the second profile (P2) and in the "T"-shaped groove (S1) of the first profile (P1).
  • each wing (31, 32) of the fixing square (3) comprises an eccentric locking means (M) that consists in a screw inserted in a hole provided on the wing (31, 32).
  • Such eccentric locking means (M) is shaped in such a way to let the total width of the wing (31, 32) increase until it reaches a width at least equal to the width (L1, L2) of the base housing (1, 2) where the wing (31, 32) of the fixing square (3) is inserted.
  • the screw of the eccentric locking means (M) comprises a head (4) disposed in correspondence of the external side (FE) of the wing (31, 32), preferably flush with said external side (FE). Moreover, such screw comprises a stem joined with the head (4) and an eccentric plate (5) fixed to an end of the stem and flush to the internal side (FI) of the wing (31, 32).

  • the two wings (31, 32) of the fixing square have a hole (F1, F2) and the frame (100) advantageously comprises a self-drilling and self-tapping screw (V1) inserted in the hole (F1, F2) and screwed on the profile (P1, P2).
  • V1 self-drilling and self-tapping screw
  • the head of said screw (V1) is tapered, just like the hole (F1, F2) that houses the screw (V1).
