Definitions

  • the herein described invention is an apparatus for window installation in the window opening.
  • the most common method of window installation in the window opening is known for years and consists in securing the frame by positioning it parallel to the wall, at a certain distance from its surface, simultaneously ensuring that the window is aligned vertically and horizontally.
  • This method requires the installer to use a set of wooden wedges for preliminarily securing the frame.
  • the wedges are delicately driven between the frame and the surface of the window opening.
  • this method is problematic for a single installer, because it is not easy to perform with two hands only and thus requires a considerable amount of skills and experience. Namely, the installer must simultaneously hold the frame, insert a wooden wedge underneath it and drive it in with a hammer to secure it in place.
  • the international application WO2005068749 (A1 ) teaches a distance (expansion) piece that can replace a traditional wedge for fitting a window to an opening of a building, as shown in drawing Pos. II.
  • the distance piece consists of two part (2, 3) having inner surfaces (4, 5) facing towards each other and outer surfaces (7, 8) forming outer parts of the distance piece.
  • the outer surface comprises resilient protrusions (15) located in cavities of the surfaces (23).
  • the parts (2, 3) are movable relative to each other and can expand forming a wedge, whose cross-section forms an isosceles triangle.
  • the parts can also be contracted. They are separated by means of a separation part (9) comprising a lock (17) and an ergonomically shaped grip (18) provided with a non-slippery surface.
  • the separation part (9) is inserted between the two parts (2, 3) which are apart.
  • the separation part (9) is adapted to move linearly in the inner space to effect the movement of the set of first contact portions (10, 11), and those portions expand the parts (2 and 3).
  • the parts (2, 3) are flexibly connected by means of a resilient connecting element, preferably taking the form of rubber bands.
  • the two circumferentially extending grooves (21) serve to fixate two of such rubber bands in place.
  • All parts of the distance piece can be made of wood or steel or made of a polymeric or ceramic material, a composite material comprising fibres of glass, carbon or Kevlar (polymer material).
  • the description of the international application WO2005102609 (A1 ) (also published as GB2413352 (B )) teaches a door support and alignment kit, as shown in drawing Pos. III.
  • the kit comprises an elongated block (10) having a transverse slot (11) formed with two recesses (13, 15). Recess (13) receives a single wedge (12) while recess (15) can receive secondary wedges (14) positioned side-by-side.
  • a door (D) can be stood on its edge and engaged in the transverse slot (11) and rested on the upper surface of web (10A). Wedge (12) is slid into the transverse slot (11) alongside one face of the door (D), to wedge the door against end surface (11b), and hold the door vertically.
  • smaller wedges (14) can be inserted into the gaps between the edges of the door (D) and frame, to align the door within the inner frame.
  • DD 53 392 A discloses an apparatus according to the preamble of claim 1.
  • the purpose of the present invention was to develop an apparatus for window installation that makes window installation significantly easier not only to a skilled installer but also to an inexperienced person lacking the necessary skills.
  • the window installation apparatus comprising of at least one wedge-shaped distance piece has a body connected in a sliding manner to a clamp. Between the body and the clamp, an expansion unit is positioned, comprising a wedge and a lead screw connected by means of a threaded connection to an opening in the wedge.
  • the body has protrusions positioned at its opposite sides and adapted to lock in a rail positioned outside the window frame, lateral rails mating with the clamp's brackets and an opening in a rest wall, against which the head of the lead screw rests.
  • the outer surfaces of the wedge and the inner surfaces of the body and the clamp converge downward at the same angle.
  • the inclination of the inner walls of the body and the clamp and the outer walls of the wedge is 10 ⁇ 50 degrees, and preferably 30 degrees.
  • the opening in the rest wall for the lead screw is preferably elongated oval in shape.
  • Inner walls of the body and the clamp comprise vertical recesses to accommodate the screw.
  • the apparatus comprises a cover connected in a sliding manner to the clamp, intended for extending the working range of the apparatus.
  • the apparatus additionally comprises an intermediate wedge positioned between the body and the clamp. Its outer and inner walls converge downwards at the same angle as the outer walls of the main wedge.
  • the device according to the present invention offers a simple solution that makes window installation significantly easier.
  • the device is reliable and easy to operate.
  • the use of three (and preferably four) such devices makes it possible to fit a window in the window opening in a short time, even by one person only.
  • Fig. 1 is an expanded view of the window installation apparatus in its first embodiment (perspective view), Fig. 2 - window installation apparatus in its first embodiment (front view), Fig. 3 - the same apparatus (perspective view), Fig. 4 - body of the apparatus (front view, as seen from the clamp), Fig. 5 - axial section of the body, Fig. 6 - clamp (front view, as seen from the body), Fig. 7 - clamp (bottom view), Fig. 8 - expanded view of the window installation apparatus in its second embodiment (perspective view), Fig. 9 - window installation apparatus in its second embodiment (front view), Fig. 10 - the same apparatus (perspective view).
  • the first embodiment of the window installation apparatus according to the invention has been used for the installation of a PVC window. Four such devices were used.
  • POM polyacetal
  • the window installation apparatus comprises a body 1 intended for quick installation outside a PVC window frame (not shown in the drawing) near its corners by means of protrusions 2 extending from the body 1.
  • the body 1 interacts with a clamp 3, connected in a sliding manner to the body 1 by means of brackets 4 of the clamp 3 and the rail 5 formed out of the sides of the body 1.
  • the apparatus comprises an expansion unit consisting of a wedge 6 positioned between the body 1 and the clamp 3.
  • Outer walls 7 of the wedge 6 converge downwards at an angle of 30 degrees.
  • inner walls 8 of the body 1 and the movable clamp 3 (facing the wedge 6) incline at an angle of 30 degrees.
  • the apparatus comprises a steel lead screw 9.
  • the lead screw 9 is positioned in the body 1, in an oval opening 10 made in a rest wall 11, against which its head rests from the bottom.
  • the other end of the lead screw 9 is threaded into an opening 12 in the wedge 6.
  • Inner walls 8 of the body 1 and the clamp 3 comprise vertical recesses 13 to accommodate the screw 9.
  • the expansion unit in order to increase the working range of the clamp 3, the expansion unit has been additionally fitted with an intermediate wedge 17, positioned between the main wedge 6 and the body 1 and the clamp 3, whose outer walls 18 and inner walls 18' converge downwards at the same angle as the walls 8 of the main wedge 6, i.e. at an angle of 30 degrees.
  • Driving the lead screw 9 into the wedge 6 pulls the wedge 6 towards the body 1, as a result of which the walls 7 of the wedge 6 press against the inner walls 18' of the intermediate wedge 17, which in its turn acts (via its outer walls 18) on the inner walls 8 of the body 1 and the clamp 3.
  • the interaction of the inclined elements 7, 18', 18 and 8 of the apparatus pushes the clamp 3 outwards, thus expanding the apparatus
