Description

The present invention relates to a sliding window installation for building, comprising a window equipment fixed in an opening in a building, said window equipment comprising at least one leaf slidably mounted in a frame.

The present invention also relates to a method for producing such a sliding window installation.

The field of the invention is that of sliding window installations for buildings, intended to close off an opening of a building in a first position and allow light to enter the building, and to retract into at least a second position to allow access to the building through this opening.

As is well known to those skilled in the art, a sliding window installation usually comprises a window equipment comprising at least one leaf designed to slide inside a frame.

The leaf generally includes a glazing unit, which can be a single, a double or even a triple glazing, depending on the size of the leaf or the insulation performance of the building sought. The leaf also comprises a rigid frame, generally comprising an upper horizontal cross, a lower horizontal cross and two vertical uprights, each of these elements can be made of metal, wood or thermoplastic material.

The glazing is fixed inside the rigid frame, in particular by means of positioning wedges and gluing and sealing elements, such as for example a silicone seal extending over the entire inner periphery of the rigid frame. .

A dormant frame of a sliding window installation generally comprises an upper horizontal cross member, a lower horizontal cross member and vertical uprights, each of these elements being able to be made of metal, wood or thermoplastic material.

To allow the sliding of the leaf in the frame, the upper or lower crossbar comprises guide elements, for example a guide rail, shaped so as to allow the translation of the leaf relative to the frame in a direction parallel to the main plane of the sleeping frame. These guide elements may optionally cooperate with corresponding elements formed on the leaf, such as for example one or more rollers.

The frame of the window equipment is intended to be the fixed element of the sliding window installation, it is generally attached to at least a fixed part of the building, such as a wall. Sealing elements may be provided between the fixed frame and the fixed part of the building to prevent outside air, water or dust from entering the building.

Generally, in order not to degrade the appearance of the building, at least a portion of the frame is hidden from the outside of the building, possibly by insulation plates or by facing elements.

We thus know of the document FR 2 740 814 A1 a sliding window installation provided to close off an opening of a building. This sliding window installation comprises a mobile leaf in a frame, comprising two horizontal crosspieces connecting the ends of two vertical uprights and leaf guide means within the frame.

As can be seen for example on the figure 1 of this document, the frame 5 is provided to be housed in part, a length corresponding substantially to half the length of its sleepers 6, 7, in a parallelepiped box 4. This parallelepiped box 4 is sealed, by the intermediate of one of its faces of large area, to a wall 1 of the building in which is formed the opening 2.

This box 4 thus fully receives one of the vertical uprights 5b of the frame and about half of the horizontal cross members 6, 7. The other vertical upright 5a of the frame 5 is provided to be disposed along a vertical edge 15 of the opening 2, and the other half of the horizontal crosspieces 6, 7 are arranged along the horizontal edges of the opening 2.

The box 4 is covered with a layer of insulating material 25a, such as glass wool for example, itself covered with a finishing layer 26. A second layer of insulating material 25b is provided to cover the face of the box 4 which is against the wall 1. A third layer of insulating material 25c, itself covered by a topcoat 26 is provided to cover the wall side of the first vertical upright 5a.

As can be seen for example on the figure 2 of this document, a dismountable mullion 22 connecting the horizontal crosspieces 6, 7 makes it possible to stiffen the frame 5, to isolate the box 4 from the inside of the building, but also to improve the aesthetic appearance of the installation of window. The thickness of this mullion 22 is such that the finishing layer 26 is flush with the mullion 22.

So that the visible thickness of the visible joinery is constant, a doorframe 23, of the same thickness as the mullion 22, is fixed on the first vertical upright 5a of the frame 5. Two crosspieces 24 also connect the doorframe 23 to the removable mullion 22. , to form a frame for the door window on the side of the building's interior.

The sliding window installation described in the document FR 2,740,814 has several disadvantages.

First, the frame 5, and in particular the first upright 5a and half of the horizontal cross members 6, 7 are visible from the inside of the building. The cladding elements 22, 23 and 24 have been provided to mask the dormant frame 5 from the inside, but they increase the overall cost of the window installation.

Similarly, the need for a box 4, housed in a vertical face of the building between the wall and a layer of insulation, to accommodate a portion of the frame 5, in order to completely retract the leaf 3 so that it does not obstruct the opening 2 and does not affect the accessibility of the building, reduces the thickness of the layer of insulation that can be arranged next to the opening, which affects the overall insulation of the building.

In addition, the elements visible from the inside of the building, in particular the cladding elements 22, 23 and 24, mask a not insignificant surface of the opening, the light can not penetrate through this hidden portion of the opening, which affects the brightness of the building.

Finally, such a sliding window installation requires significant work to be done, which are long, complex and expensive to perform.

Indeed, the dormant box must first be fixed to the wall. Special attention, requiring a long and complex work, must be made to the fixing of the box so that it does not detach from the wall over time, because it will be inaccessible after the final installation of the installation of window, making maintenance operations on it complex.

The dormant frame, possibly including the mobile leaf, is then housed partly in the box and fixed to the wall and floor of the building. The different layers of insulating materials can then be arranged around the opening, as previously described, and the finishing layers are then fixed over them. Before or after this step, the facing elements are put in place on the frame.

Similarly, as in most of the sliding window installations of the state of the art, if it is desired to extract the leaf of the frame, to change it or perform certain maintenance operations, it is necessary first to remove the elements of facings before being able to extract the leaf of the chassis, which proves long and tedious.

Thus, this installation being designed to house the dormant frame, at least in part, between the layers of insulation and the wall, it can hardly be mounted on existing buildings, as part of renovation work for example, or at the price of long, complex and expensive work.

The object of the present invention is to overcome the aforementioned drawbacks by providing a sliding window installation to maximize the passage of light through the opening of the building.

Another object of the present invention is to provide a sliding window installation to maximize the passage area through the opening of the building when the leaf is completely retracted.

Another object of the present invention is to provide a sliding window installation that can be installed simply and quickly on a building, including an existing building, as part of renovation work, without degrading or even improving the building insulation. .

The window equipment illustrated by way of example is only part of window equipment marketed by the company TECHNAL, including the window equipment marketed in France under the reference LUMEA. The equipment may be still only part of window equipment marketed by SAPA, including window equipment marketed in France under the reference ARTE, or any other window equipment known to those skilled in the art.

These equipment known per se of the state of the art always comprise at least two leaves (two or three leaves), at least one of which is sliding, all positioned in the opening, whose movements are limited by the dimensions of the opening of the wall. Significantly and according to this state of the art, the length of the sliding leaf is much less than the length of the opening so as to allow its displacement, and thus its sliding from a closed position of the sliding leaf to a position of opening of the leaf. In the closed position, the different leaves are in offset positions to completely close the opening left by the frame and between two consecutive leaves, intermediate amounts achieve a hermetic connection between these leaves. The invention makes it possible to eliminate these particularly unsightly intermediate amounts and partially closing the opening in the closed position, which reduces the entry of light into the building.

Significantly and according to the invention, said leaf completely closes the opening left by the frame in its closed position. Its sliding is allowed in that it is positioned outside the opening, outside the building, allowing the sliding of the leaf in a staggered position, laterally to the opening. According to the invention, the glazing of the leaf extends over most of the opening, and advantageously without intermediate post, and unlike the state of the art, which requires several leaves of staggered positions to close the opening of the door. dormant frame, with the presence of intermediate amount (s) between two consecutive leaves. The invention thus closes the opening of the wall by means of a single leaf, unlike the state of the art above.

Sealing elements, in particular elastomer seals, can be provided between the leaf 20 and the guide rail 41, for example arranged on inner side faces of the lower cross member 22 of the rigid frame C, in order to ensure sealing between the leaf 20 and the guide rail 40.

The guiding system 40 may also comprise a guide groove 42 formed in the upper cross member of the fixed frame 10. The guide groove 42 is for example constituted by two vertical faces extending towards the lower cross member 12 of the fixed frame 10, one of the faces extending from the second outer profile 11e2, the other face extending from the first inner profile 11i1. The upper cross member 25 of the rigid frame C being for example designed to have its outer lateral faces bearing against the inner lateral faces of the guide groove 42, the latter will guide the leaf 20 relative to the frame 10 and the rupture thermal bridge between the leaf 20 and the frame 10.

Advantageously, the guide groove 42 is formed along the entire length of the upper cross member 11 of the fixed frame 10.

According to the invention, the leaf 20 can thus pass from a closed position, in which the window equipment 2 completely closes the opening 3, said leaf completely closing the opening O10 left by the fixed frame, at a position opening, in which the leaf 20 is found offset with respect to the opening 3. In the open position, the leaf 20 will be laterally offset relative to the opening O10 left by the frame, and at least one portion of the leaf 20 will be found vis-à-vis the wall 4 in which the opening is formed. There is therefore no need to provide additional element to receive the leaf 20 in the open position, which increases the simplicity of the sliding window installation and reduces its installation complexity and its cost of manufacture, without adversely affect the tightness and insulation of the building, being constrained for example by reducing the thickness of a layer of insulation provided at the wall 4 in which the opening 3 is formed in order to accommodate the leaf 20.

Significantly and according to the invention, an insulating layer 5 covers the upper inner horizontal face 31 and the inner lateral vertical faces 33, 34 of the opening 3, finishing elements 6, in particular plasterboard, being attached over the insulating layer, parallel to the upper inner horizontal face 31 and the inner side vertical faces 33, 34 of the opening.

Notably, the frame 10, the insulating layer 5 and the finishing elements 6 can be advantageously arranged in the opening 3 so that the inner faces of its upper cross member F11 and the two vertical uprights F13i, F14 come flush with the inside surface F6 of the finishing elements 6.

Two flush faces are understood to mean that two faces are arranged parallel to each other, in the extension of one another, the distance between the plane of the faces not exceeding 20 mm, preferably 10 mm .

As can be understood from the various figures, and explained in more detail below, providing the faces of the finishing elements flush with the inner faces of the uprights and the upper cross member of the frame advantageously allows to hide the sleeping frame for an occupant placed in inside the building.

The insulating layer 5 may comprise any type of insulating material, such as, for example, glass wool, rockwool or expanded polymeric foam, for example polyurethane foam.

The finishing elements 6 are intended to be fixed to the wall 4 in which the opening 3 is provided by any fastening means known to those skilled in the art, in particular by means of fixing rails. The finishing elements 6 comprise, for example, rigid plates, in particular plasterboard. The finishing elements 6 may also comprise covering elements (not shown) fixed on the rigid plates in order to improve the external appearance of the opening 3.

According to the invention, the fixed frame 10 is positioned in the opening 3 so that the inner horizontal face F12 of its lower crosspiece 12 comes flush with a horizontal face 36 of the floor Sint situated inside the opening 3.

The sealing means 50 between the frame 10 and the opening 3 may comprise at least one sealing strip 51c, 52c, 53c, 54c, for example thermoplastic elastomer, especially silicone, interposed between the frame 10 and the opening 3.

A first sealing strip 51c may advantageously extend over the entire length of the vertical upright 13 and be interposed for example between an end face of a finishing element 6 and an inner vertical face of the vertical upright 13.

A second sealing strip 52c may advantageously extend over the entire length of the vertical upright 14 and be interposed for example between an end face of a finishing element 6 and an inner vertical face of the vertical upright 14.

A third sealing strip 53c may advantageously extend over the entire length of the upper crossmember 11 and be interposed for example between an end face of a finishing element 6 and an inner vertical face of the upper crossmember 11.

A fourth sealing strip 54c may advantageously extend over the entire length of the bottom rail 12 and be interposed for example between a horizontal face 36 of the Sint floor inside the opening 3 and an inner vertical face of the bottom rail 12.

The sealing means 50 may also comprise at least one seal 51d, 52d, 53d, 54d, in particular in the form of a bead of silicone. The at least one seal 51d, 52d, 53d, 54d advantageously extends over the entire length of one of the vertical uprights 13, 14 or the upper or lower cross member 11, 12 and covers the at least one strip of sealing 51c, 52c, 53c, 54c, to protect it from external aggression and to ensure the tight attachment of a vertical upright 13, 14 or the upper cross member 11 to a finishing element 6 or the lower cross member 12 Sint floor inside the opening 3.

Thanks to this particular positioning of the frame 10 relative to the opening 3, a building occupant, for example at the position Pi, shown in FIG. figure 4 , inside the opening 3, will not see the dormant frame 10 when it looks at the window equipment 2 face, that is to say in a direction perpendicular to the main plane of the leaf 20. This improves the appearance of the window installation 1 from inside the opening 3 without the need for additional covering elements to hide the fixed frame 10. The covering elements hiding the frame 10 are constituted by the insulating layer 5 and the finishing elements 6, whose respective primary functions are to reduce the thermal conductivity of the wall 4 and to improve the appearance of the wall 4 in which the opening 3 is formed.

Likewise, a large portion, especially more than 90%, of light rays arriving with a perpendicular direction on the window equipment 2, especially when the leaf 20 is in the fully retracted position, will reach the inside of the opening 3, which improves the brightness of the building.

• le châssis dormant 10 est disposé dans l'ouverture 3 en saillie vers l'extérieur de l'ouverture 3 de manière à positionner le premier vantail 20 et le deuxième vantail 20' entièrement à l'extérieur de l'ouverture 3, côté extérieur au bâtiment,

According to a second embodiment of the invention, represented for example in Figures 7a to 7c , the leaf 20 of the window equipment 2 is said first leaf 20, the window equipment 2 comprising a second leaf 20 'cooperating with the first leaf 20, and:

• the fixed frame 10 is disposed in the opening 3 projecting outwardly from the opening 3 so as to position the first leaf 20 and the second leaf 20 'entirely outside the opening 3, on the outer side of the opening building,
• said guide system 40 comprises, in addition to the at least one guide rail 41, said first guide rail 41, a second guide rail 41 'extending along the opening 30 outside the opening 3, outside the building,
• the first leaf 20 and the second leaf 20 'can each pass from a closed position, in which the first leaf 20 and / or the second leaf 20' completely closes the opening O10 left by the frame 10 at the level of the opening 3, at an open position, in which the first leaf 20 and / or the second leaf 20 'is laterally offset with respect to the opening O10 left by the fixed frame 10.

All the characteristics described above and in the rest of the application concerning the fixed frame 10 apply to the frame 10 in this second embodiment. Likewise, all of the features described above and in the rest of the application concerning the leaf 20 and the guide rail 41 respectively apply to the first leaf 20 and to the second leaf 20 'and to the first guide rail 41 as well as 'to the second guide rail 41'.

As can be seen from the exemplary embodiment of Figures 7a to 7c , the first leaf 20 and the second leaf 20 'are advantageously arranged parallel to the outside of the opening 3.

Advantageously, the first leaf 20 and the second leaf 20 'are independent. Fastening means A, comprising for example hooks A fixed on the upper crossbar 25, 25 'and / or on the lower crossbar 22, 22' and / or on the vertical upright 23, 23 'and / or on the upright vertical 24, 24 'of the rigid frame C, C' of the first leaf 20 or the second leaf 20 'cooperating with attachment holes T formed on the top rail 11 and / or on the lower rail 12 and / or on the upright vertical 13 and / or vertical upright 14 of the frame 10, are provided to ensure the immobilization of the first leaf 20 relative to the second leaf 20 'and optionally the seal between the first leaf 20 and the second leaf 20' or between the first leaf 20, respectively the second leaf 20 'and the frame 10.

Thus, the first leaf 20 and the second leaf 20 'can slide together relative to the frame 10 in order to close or release the opening O10 left by the frame 10 or only the first leaf 20.

Alternatively the second leaf 20 ', can slide relative to the frame 10, the second leaf 20', alternatively the first leaf 20 remaining fixed relative to the frame 10, for example in the closed position. This arrangement, in addition to the fact that the first leaf 20 and the second leaf 20 'are arranged entirely outside the opening 3, allows in particular to facilitate access to the different faces of the glazing 21, 21' of the first leaf 20 or the second leaf 20 'to ensure their cleaning.

In a notable manner and according to this embodiment of the invention, the window installation may comprise an air circulation circuit 90 allowing an exchange of air between the inside and the outside of the building, said circulation circuit of air 90 comprising a first vent 91, 92 formed in the lower cross member 12 of the frame 10 allowing the circulation of air between the outside of the opening and the inter-space 96 defined between the first leaf 20 and the second leaf 20 ', a second vent 93, 94, 95 formed in the upper cross member 11 of the frame 10 allowing the circulation of air between the inter-space 96 and the building interior.

As shown in the exemplary embodiment of the figure 7a , the first vent 91, 92 includes in particular a horizontal pipe 91, one of whose ends opens out of the building and a vertical pipe 92, communicating with the horizontal pipe 91, one end of which opens into the Inter-space 96. Advantageously, the first vent 91, 92 is formed in the lower cross member 12 of the fixed frame 10. Alternatively, it can be arranged in the upper cross member 11 of the fixed frame 10.

The second vent 93, 94, 95 for example comprises a first vertical duct 93, one end of which opens into the inter-space 96 and a second vertical duct 95, one of whose ends opens into the interior of the duct. building, at least one horizontal duct 94 connecting the two vertical ducts 93, 95. Advantageously, the second vent 93, 94, 95 is formed in the upper cross member 11 of the fixed frame 10. Alternatively, it may be formed in the lower cross member 12 of the fixed frame 10.

Thus, when the first leaf 20 and the second leaf 20 'are in the closed position and completely close the opening O10 left by the frame 10, the outside air can enter the air circulation circuit 90 at the level of the end of the horizontal pipe 91 of the first vent 91, 92. The air then opens into the inter-space 96 at the end of the vertical pipe 92 of the first vent 91, 92, where it is optionally heated or cooled, the temperature in the inter-space 96 being different from the temperature outside the opening 3. The air then leaves the inter-space 96 at the end of the first vertical pipe 93 of the second vent 93, 94, 95 and penetrates inside the opening 3 at the end of the second vertical pipe 95 of the second vent 93, 94, 95.

The air can also travel through the air circulation circuit 90 in the opposite direction, from inside the building to the outside of the building.

The window equipment 2 thus functions as a heat exchanger and ensures the renewal of the air inside the building without impairing the insulation capabilities of the building at the opening 3.

The air circulation circuit 90 may optionally include additional means for heating or cooling the air flowing therethrough.

The air circulation circuit 90 may also comprise additional means to cause the displacement of the air in one direction or the other, for example a fan fixed in the upper rail 11 or lower 12 of the fixed frame 10.

Significantly and according to one embodiment of the invention, said at least one guide rail 41 of the guide system 40 extends laterally beyond the opening 3, in particular to allow the sliding of the leaf 20 towards a retracted position allowing an opening rate of at least 50% of the opening left O10 by the frame 10.

Advantageously, as shown in the exemplary embodiment of the figures 1 and 2 , the guide rail 41 has two longitudinal portions 41a, 41b: a first longitudinal portion 41a extending along the opening 3, from a first vertical upright 14 to a second vertical upright 13 of the dormant frame 10, and a second longitudinal portion 41b extending laterally beyond the opening 3, in particular along the wall 4 of the building.

The two longitudinal portions 41a, 41b of the guide rail 41 are advantageously formed in one piece, but they can alternatively be made in the form of separate pieces, fixed together.

Advantageously, the guide rail 41 can be placed entirely above the ground Sext outside the opening 3. Alternatively, the guide rail 41 can be buried, at least partially in the ground Sext outside of the opening 3.

In the case where the guide rail 41 is formed in the upper part of the second outer section 12e2 of the lower cross member 12, the second outer section 12e2 may in particular extend laterally beyond the opening 3 while the first outer section 12e1 and the internal profiles 12i1, 12i2 extend only in the opening 3.

According to an exemplary embodiment of the invention, the upper cross member 11 of the frame 10 does not extend beyond the opening 3. In the open position, the leaf 20 will end up cantilevered relative to the guide groove 42 of the upper cross member 11, but will nevertheless be maintained and guided by the guide rail 41 formed on the lower cross member 12 of the fixed frame 10. Thus, only the guide rail 41 will extend laterally to the beyond the opening 3, which improves the appearance of the window installation 1 according to the invention.

A limit stop (not shown) may be arranged in the guide rail 41 in the portion of the guide rail 41 located laterally beyond the opening 3, so that to limit the stroke of the leaf 20 relative to the opening 3 and prevent the leaf 20, including its upper edge, from being found outside the guide groove 42.

Alternatively, or in addition to the limit stop, a stop piece (not shown) can be fixed perpendicularly to the wall 4, projecting towards the outside of the opening 3. This stop piece is provided to bear against a lateral edge of the leaf 20, in particular the lateral edge provided to be laterally offset with respect to the opening 3, when the leaf 20 is in the fully retracted position. This stop piece also makes it possible to limit the travel of the leaf 20 relative to the opening 3 and to prevent the leaf 20, in particular its upper edge, from being found outside of the guide groove 42.

Alternatively, or in addition, a handle 25 of the leaf 20, fixed on the leaf 20, for example on the vertical upright 24 of the leaf 20, and protruding towards the inside of the opening 3 can bear against a face internal vertical P13i a vertical amount 13 of the frame 10 and prevent the sliding of the leaf 20 relative to the frame 10, to limit the travel of the leaf 20 relative to the opening 3 and prevent the leaf 20, including its upper edge, is found outside the guide groove 42.

According to an alternative embodiment of the invention, the guide rail 40 may not extend laterally beyond the opening 3. In such an embodiment, at least one of the guide elements fixed on the leaf 20 is advantageously fixed on the lower or upper edge of the leaf 20 at a distance from a corner of the leaf 20 to allow the leaf 20 to slide laterally beyond the opening. In the open position, the leaf 20 is therefore in cantilever relative to the frame 10.

A stop piece fixed to the wall, similar to that described above, or a handle 25 may be provided to limit the travel of the leaf 20 relative to the opening 3 and prevent the leaf 20, including its edge upper or lower, is found outside respectively of the guide groove 42 or the guide rail 41.

This alternative embodiment may in particular be used in the case where the window installation is intended to be fixed above the floor of the building, the installation of window not being used for access to the building, especially when the Opening of the opening O10 left by the frame does not exceed 20%, when the leaf 20 is in the maximum open position. In this case, a flange (not shown) protruding outwardly from the opening 3 may be formed in the lower part of the opening 3 to support in particular the lower cross member 12 of the frame 10 and the guide rail 41.

According to the invention, a vertical upright 13 of the fixed frame 10 is arranged in the opening 3 so that its vertical outer face F 13e comes flush with an outer vertical face F4 of the wall 4.

As shown in the exemplary embodiment of figures 4 and 5 this particular arrangement of the vertical upright 13 of the frame 10 allows that vertical upright 13 does not hinder the sliding of the leaf 20 when it will move to an open position, where it will be arranged laterally beyond the opening 3.

According to the invention, the leaf 20 comprises a sealing system between the leaf 20 and the frame 10, comprising at least one sealing profile 7, in particular elastomer, extending along at least one edge of the glazing 21.

As can be seen from the exemplary embodiment of Figures 3 to 5 at least one sealing profile 7, for example elastomer, especially ethylene-propylene-diene monomer (EPDM), of substantially U-shaped cross-section, extends on the edges of the glazing 21, such so that it completely covers the edges of the glazing 21 and partially overlaps both sides of the edge of the glazing.

According to one embodiment of the invention, the length Lv of the glazing 21 may be greater than the length Lo of the opening O10 left by the frame 10.

As shown on the example of figure 4 , the length Lv of the glazing 21, which corresponds to the distance separating the two lateral edges of the glazing 21 is greater than the length Lo of the opening O10 left by the frame 10, which corresponds to the distance separating the internal vertical faces F13i , F14 of two vertical uprights 13, 14 of the sleeping frame 101e. The leaf 20 is advantageously positioned relative to the frame 10 such that the two side edges of the glazing 21 protrude from the frame 10, when the leaf 20 is in the closed position.

Thanks to this particular dimensioning of the glazing 21 and its positioning relative to the frame 10, the side edges are not visible from the inside of the opening 3, for an occupant located for example in position Pi, when he looks at front window equipment 2. This improves the interior appearance of the window installation 1 and increases the brightness of the building.

According to an exemplary embodiment of the invention, wherein the leaf 20 comprises a rigid frame C comprising at least two vertical uprights 23, 24, these vertical uprights are dimensioned and positioned relative to the glazing 21 so as to be laterally beyond the opening O10 left by the frame 10 when the leaf 20 is in the closed position.

Thus, these uprights 23, 24 are not visible from inside the opening 3, for an occupant located for example in position Pi, when he looks at the window equipment 2 from the front, when the leaf 20 is in the closed position. The surface of the window 21 traversed by the light, generally a rectangular surface, will have a length corresponding to the length Lo of the opening left by the frame 10, which allows to provide a good brightness to the building.

Advantageously, the vertical uprights 23, 24 of the rigid frame C are dimensioned and positioned relative to the glazing 21 so as to be found with their respective inner vertical faces F23, F24 flush with the respective inner vertical faces F13i, F14i of the vertical uprights 13, 14 of the frame 10, when the leaf 20 is in the closed position.

According to the invention, a pocket 15 can be formed in one of the vertical uprights 13, 14 of the frame 10, the depth P15 is such that a vertical edge 24 of the leaf 20 is housed integrally in the pocket 15 when the leaf 20 is in the closed position.

As shown in the exemplary embodiment of figures 4 and 5 , the partition 15 is formed in the vertical upright 14 of the frame 10. The partition 15 is advantageously formed by a horizontal groove of substantially U-shaped cross-section, one of the lateral faces of the U-shaped groove belonging for example to the second profile. 14e2 external and the other side face belonging to a separate part of the external profiles 14e1, 14e2 and internal 14i, fixed on the vertical upright 14.

As shown in the exemplary embodiment of the figure 4 when the leaf 20 is in the closed position, the vertical upright 24 of the rigid frame C is for example housed integrally in the pocket 15, in particular in the U-shaped groove. The vertical upright 24 of the rigid frame C is advantageously positioned in the 15, so that its internal vertical face F24 is flush with the internal vertical face F14 of the vertical upright 14 of the fixed frame 10.

According to an exemplary embodiment of the invention, the axial stop towards the vertical upright 14 of the frame 10 is provided by the respective lips 131, 231 of the vertical upright 13 of the frame 10 and the vertical upright 23 of the rigid frame C leaf 20, which are in close contact when the leaf 20 is in the closed position. The lip 231 will advantageously be dimensioned and positioned on the vertical upright 23 of the leaf 20 so that the internal vertical face F23 of the vertical upright 23 is flush with the internal lateral face F13i of the vertical upright 13 of the fixed frame 10 in the closed position. .

Advantageously, the height Hv of the upper edge of the glazing 21, which corresponds to the distance separating the upper edge of the glazing unit 20 from the inner horizontal face F12 of the lower cross member 12 of the fixed frame 10, may also be greater than the height H0 of the O10 opening left by the frame 10, which corresponds to the distance between the inner horizontal face F11 of the inner horizontal face F12 of the upper 11 and lower 12 crosspieces. The leaf 20 is advantageously positioned relative to the frame 10 so that that the upper edge of the glazing 21 overflows from the frame 10, when the leaf 20 is in the closed position.

One embodiment of the invention could also be envisaged in which the total height of the glazing 21, which corresponds to the distance separating the upper edge and the lower edge of the glazing 21, is greater than the height Ho of the opening O10 left behind. by the frame and a positioning of the glazing 21 relative to the frame 10 such that, when the leaf 20 is in the closed position, the glazing 21 overflows the frame 10. Thus, the lower edge of the glazing 21 is not visible from the inside of the opening 3, for an occupant located for example in position Pi, when he will look at the window equipment 2 from the front. This also improves the interior appearance of the window installation 1 and increases the brightness of the building.

According to an exemplary embodiment of the invention, wherein the leaf 20 comprises a rigid frame C comprising an upper cross member 25 or a lower cross member 22, they are dimensioned and positioned relative to the glazing 21 so as to be found vertically at beyond the opening O10 left by the frame 10 when the leaf 20 is in the closed position.

Thus, this upper crossbar 25 or this lower crossbar is not visible from the inside of the opening 3, for an occupant located for example in position Pi, when he looks at the window equipment 2 from the front, when the leaf 20 is in the closed position. The surface of the window 21 traversed by the light, generally a rectangular surface, will have a height corresponding to at least 90% of the height Ho of the opening left by the frame 10, which allows to offer a good brightness to the building .

Advantageously, the upper crossmember 25 or the lower crossmember 22 of the rigid frame C are dimensioned and positioned relative to the glazing 21 so as to be found with their respective inner vertical faces F25, F22 flush with the respective inner vertical faces F11i, F12i of the crosspieces upper 11 or lower 12 of the frame 10, when the leaf 20 is in the closed position.

As shown in the exemplary embodiments of Figures 1 to 3 , the upper cross member 25 of the rigid frame C and the guide groove 42 of the guide system 40 are advantageously dimensioned and positioned relative to each other such so that the upper cross member 25 of the rigid frame C is fully housed in the guide groove 42 when the leaf 20 is in the closed position.

Thus, when the leaf 20 is in the closed position, the upper cross member 25 of the rigid frame C is not visible from the inside and the outside of the opening 3. This improves the internal and external appearance of the window installation 1.

An embodiment could also be envisaged in which the lower crossmember 22 of the rigid frame C of the leaf 20 is dimensioned and positioned relative to the fixed frame 10 so that it is housed integrally in the lower crossmember 12 of the fixed frame 10. especially when the leaf 20 is in the closed position. The bottom rail 22 will therefore not be visible from the inside and the outside of the opening 3. This improves the interior and exterior appearance of the window installation 1.

According to the invention, the guide rail 41 of the guide system 40 extends laterally outside the opening 3. Advantageously, it extends along a length Lr, in the longitudinal direction of the lower cross member 12 of the frame 10, strictly greater than 0 meters, especially over a length Lr corresponding to at least 50%, preferably at least 80% of the length of the leaf 20, so that the leaf 20, in the fully retracted position, n ' occupies a portion less than 50% of the length LO of the opening O10 left by the frame 10, preferably less than 20%.

As shown in the exemplary embodiments of figures 1 and 2 , the guide rail 41 is for example placed on the soil Sext outside the opening 3, parallel to the wall 4 of the building in which the opening 3 is formed. The guide rail 41 is for example fixed directly to the ground outside the opening 3 or possibly sealed on a step M2 positioned in front of the opening 3 and extending along the wall 4 outside the opening opening 3.

In the fully retracted position, the leaf 20 will close a small portion of the opening O10 left by the frame 10, for example a portion less than 20% of the total area of the opening O10. The maximum passage area through the opening O10 will therefore be 80% of the total area of the opening O10, which allows optimal access to the building through the opening 3. Access to the building through the window installation 1 is facilitated without the need for additional element to accommodate the leaf 20 in the retracted position, the latter being provided to slide outside the opening 3, along the wall 4 in which the opening 3 is formed.

To improve the appearance of the window installation or to protect the leaf 20 or the guide rail 41 from external aggressions such as water, dust, etc., it may be possible to envisage setting up a cladding, comprising, for example cladding elements in the form of plates, the cladding elements being for example made of wood, metal or composite material, on the wall 4, at the portion of the wall 4 in front of which the leaf 20 will be arranged in position opening. In the open position, the leaf 20 is then housed between the wall 4 and the facing elements of the cladding.

According to the invention, insulation means 60 are provided between the frame and the opening 3, the insulation means 60 comprising at least one insulation and positioning wedge, in particular made of thermoplastic material, arranged between the cross member upper or lower or one of the vertical uprights of the fixed frame and an inner face of the opening 3.

As shown in the exemplary embodiment of Figures 3 to 5 several isolation and positioning shims 61, 62, 63 made of thermoplastic material, in particular PVC, are provided between the fixed frame 10 and the opening 3, in particular the wall 4 of the opening 3. These shims 61, 62, 63 fulfill several functions: they allow to properly position the frame 10 relative to the opening 3 when installing the window equipment 2 in the opening 3, to ensure a thermal break between the frame 10 and the wall 4, and can also serve as support pieces for fixing the frame 10 to the wall 4.

According to the invention, at least one spacer 61, 62 of insulation and positioning is a substantially L-shaped part, said spacer 61, 62 being disposed between an inner vertical face 33, 34 of the opening 3 and a face vertical vertical F13p, F14p a vertical amount 13, 14 of the frame 10, a first branch 61a, 62a of the wedge 61, 62 bearing against the inner vertical face 33, 34 of the opening 3, and extending between the wall 4 and an insulating layer 5 covering the inner vertical face 33, 34 of the opening 3, a second branch 61b, 62b of the shim 61, 62 bearing on the vertical outer face F13p , F14p of the upright 13, 14 of the frame 10.

As shown in the exemplary embodiment of figures 4 and 5 a first wedge 61 is for example provided between an outer vertical face F13p of the vertical upright 13 of the fixed frame 10 and an inner vertical face 33 of the wall 4.

The sealing means 50 may also comprise a seal 54b, in particular in the form of a silicone bead, extending advantageously over the entire length of the upper cross member 11 and covering the sealing strip 54a.

Thanks to these different elements, the outside air and water can not infiltrate the opening 3 at the upper rail. Indeed, thanks to the inclined face 64b of the cap 64, the water will be removed from the upper cross member 11 and can not accumulate against the wedge 63 or against the seal 54b, which could damage them at over time and therefore impede the sealing of the window installation 1 and the insulation of the building.

On the example of realization of the figure 6b a first branch 63a of the shim 63 abuts against the inner horizontal face 31 of the wall 4, and extends between the wall 4 and an insulating layer 5 covering the lateral internal vertical faces of the opening, a second branch 63b of the wedge 62 bearing against the upper outer horizontal surface F11p of the upper cross member 11.

Alternatively, the seal 53b may consist of a coating layer (not shown) covering the vertical outer face F4 of the wall 4.

Thanks to these different elements, the outside air and water can not infiltrate the opening 3 at the upper rail. Indeed, thanks to the inclined face 64b of the cap 64, the water will be removed from the upper cross member 11 and can not accumulate against the wedge 63 or against the seal 54b, which could damage them at over time and therefore affect the tightness of the window installation 1 and the insulation of the b.

According to the invention, during the method 100, said window equipment 2 of the sliding window installation 1 is fixed at an opening 3 formed in a wall 4 of a building, said method comprising:

• a step 101 of providing a frame 10, comprising an upper cross member 11, a lower cross member 12 and two vertical uprights 13, 14, including the guide rail 41 of the guide system 40 formed on the lower cross member 12 or higher 11 of the sleeping frame 10,
• a step 102 of providing a leaf 20, designed to slide in the frame 10,
• a step 103 of placing the leaf 20 in the frame 10,
• a step 104 for fixing the frame 10 in the opening 3, so that the frame 10 is arranged in the opening 3 projecting outwardly from the opening 3 so as to position the sliding leaf 20 entirely to the outside of the opening 3, outside the building, the upper cross member (11), the lower cross member (12) and the two vertical uprights (13, 14) cooperating with the horizontal inner faces respectively horizontal (31), horizontal lower (32) and vertical lateral (33, 34), right and left, opening, leaving an opening (O10) in the building,

The order of execution of these different steps can be modified without departing from the scope of the present invention.

The sliding window installation 1 is intended to be carried out on a building under construction or on an already existing building, for example during renovation work.

Prior to the realization of the sliding window installation 1, the opening 3 must have been formed in a wall 4 of the building, the opening 3 preferably not yet comprising the insulating layer 5 or the finishing elements 6 Preferably, the floor inside Sint and outside Sext of the opening 3 must also have been made beforehand, cladding elements to possibly still be arranged on the Sint or Sext floor.

Thus, if the sliding window installation 1 is to be carried out on a building under construction, the production method 100 must preferably be involved during the work of putting out of water and out of air of the building, this work generally taking place in the second half of the yard.

The length and height of the opening 3 must be such that at least a portion of the frame 10, in the transverse direction of the frame 10, can be received integrally in the opening 3 of the building.

During step 101, the frame 10 is for example transported to the location of the sliding window installation 1. Its crosspieces 11, 12, its vertical uprights 13, 14 and the guide rail 41 may be preassembled, for example in a factory or workshop located in a place separate from that of the construction site of the sliding window installation 1, the frame 10 being transported in one piece at the site of the site. Alternatively, at least one of the elements 11, 12, 13, 14, 41 of the frame 10 is transported by being non-assembled with the other elements 11, 12, 13, 14, 41 of the frame 10 at the site of the construction site, the assembly of the various elements 11, 12, 13, 14, 41 of the frame 10 being made during the realization of the sliding window installation 1 at the site of the site.

Similarly, during step 102, the leaf 20 can be transported to the site of the site with its various elements C, 21 22, 23, 24, 25 preassembled or at least one of its elements C, 21 22, 23, 24, 25 can be transported by being non-assembled with the other elements C, 21 22, 23, 24, 25, the assembly of the various elements C, 21 22, 23, 24, 25 of the leaf 20 being carried out during the realization of the installation of sliding window 1 on the site of the building site.

Step 103 can be carried out on site, for example in the case where the frame 10 and the leaf 20 were transported unassembled at the site. Alternatively, the step 103 can be performed in a different location from the site, the frame 10 and the leaf 20 being transported to the site with the leaf 20 already slidably mounted in the frame 10.

According to an exemplary embodiment, after carrying out the steps 101 to 103 of the method 100, the step 104 of fixing the dormant frame in the opening 3 is then carried out.

Alternatively, it is possible for example to carry out step 103 after step 104, the leaf 20 being able to be put in place in the fixed frame 10 by presenting it in the fixed frame 10 inclined with respect to the horizontal and with respect to the plane the opening O10 left by the frame 10, then engaging the upper cross member 25 of the rigid frame C in the guide groove 42 of the guide system 40, then by pivoting the leaf 20 to engage the lower cross member 22 the rigid frame C of the leaf 20 in the guide rail 41 of the guide system 40, so that it is found in its final position in the frame frame 10. These operations can be repeated in the opposite direction to extract quickly and simply the leaf 20 of the dormant frame 10, in particular to perform maintenance operations on the leaf 20 or the frame 10.

At least one of the sealing means 50 is for example fixed in the opening 3 prior to the fixing of the frame 10 in the opening 3, in particular at least one of the sealing strips 51a, 52a, 53a, 54a and 54c .

At least one of the insulating means 60, in particular the isolation and positioning shims 61, 62, 63 and the cap 64, is advantageously fixed to the fixed frame 10 before the fixed frame 10 is fixed in the opening 3, in order to have a precise positioning of the dormant frame 10 with respect to the opening 3.

At least one of the metal shims C61, C62, C63, C64 is advantageously positioned on one of the inner faces 31, 32, 33, 34 of the opening 3, in particular the shim C64 on the face 32, prior to the fixing of the dormant frame. 10 in the opening 3.

The frame 10 can then be positioned in the opening 3 in its final position, that is to say projecting outwardly from the opening 3 so as to position the sliding leaf 20 entirely outside the opening. the opening and that the guide rail 41 of the guide system 40 extends along the opening and laterally beyond the opening 3 outside the opening 3.

In order to facilitate the positioning of the frame 10 in the opening 3, such that the leaf 20 slides entirely outside the opening, outside the building, a step M1 can be arranged in the lower part of the opening 3 , so that the inner horizontal face 32 has a depth substantially corresponding to the depth of the lower cross member 11 of the fixed frame, a vertical face 37 of the step M1, in particular having a thickness substantially equal to that of the lower cross member 11, connecting the inner horizontal face 32 to the horizontal face 36 of the Sint floor inside the opening 3.

A step M2 may also be arranged between the inner horizontal face 32 and an outer face 39 of the soil Sext outside the opening 3, a vertical face 38 connecting the inner horizontal face 32 to the outer face 39, so that prevent water accumulating against the lower cross member 11 can penetrate inside the opening 3. For this purpose, the outer face 39 may advantageously be inclined relative to the horizontal to allow evacuation water reaching the level of the lower cross member 11 to penetrate inside the opening 3. This step M2 can also be used to position the guide rail 41 of the guide system 40 relative to the wall 4 and to the 3. The inner horizontal face 32 can thus advantageously extend along the opening 3 and laterally outside the opening to a length corresponding substantially to the length of the guide rail 41 of the system. guidance 40.

The positioning of the frame 10 relative to the inner vertical faces 33, 34 of the opening 3 is facilitated by the isolation and positioning wedges, in particular the spacers 61, 62.

The frame 10 can then be fixed in the opening 3, in particular to the wall 4, by means of the fixing screws V61, V62, V63, V64 and metal shims C61, C62, C63, C64.

At least one of the sealing means 50, in particular at least one seal 51b, 52b, 53b, 54b and 54d, can then be put in place in order to ensure the final fixing of the frame 10 in the opening 3 and the seal between them.

According to the invention, the method 100 for producing a sliding window installation 10 comprises a step 105a of placing an insulating layer 5, arranged so as to cover an inner horizontal face 31 and the inner vertical faces. 33, 34 of the opening 3, and a step 105b for fixing finishing elements 6, in particular gypsum boards, on top of the insulating layer 5, parallel to the inner horizontal face 31 and to the inner vertical faces 33, 34 of the opening 3, the insulating layer 5 and the finishing plates 6 being arranged so that the inner faces F11, F13i, F14i of the upper cross member 11 and the two vertical uprights 13, 14 are flush with the inner face F6 of the finishing elements 6, the frame 10 having also been arranged so that the inner horizontal face F12 of its lower cross member 12 is flush with a horizontal face 36 of the ground Sint at the i inside the opening 3.

For example, the steps 105a, 105b are performed after the step 104 of fixing the frame 10 in the opening 3 but they can be done at another time of the process 100. Similarly, the steps 105a, 105b can be performed in any order, without departing from the scope of the present invention.

At least one of the sealing means 50, in particular at least one of the sealing strips 51c, 52c and 53c, is for example fastened to the frame 10, in particular to one of its vertical uprights 13, 14 or its upper cross member 11 , prior to the insertion of the insulating layer 5 or the fixing of the finishing elements 6.

At least one of the sealing means 50, in particular at least one seal 51d, 52d, 53d and 54d, is for example put in place after the insertion of the insulating layer 5 and the fixing of the elements. finish 6, to ensure the final fixing of the finishing elements 6 to the frame 10 and the seal between them.

The window installation 100 according to the invention can thus be realized simply and quickly without requiring long and complex work on the building, in particular to provide a housing for receiving the leaf 20 in the open position.

In addition, the insulating layer 5 and the finishing elements 6 can be put in place before or after the fixing of the frame 10 in the opening 3, the window installation 100 can easily be performed on an existing building .
