Abstract
Description
- The present invention generally finds application in the field of doors and windows and particularly relates to an anti-water seepage system.
- Systems have been long known to be installed in the door/window leaves, to prevent water seepage between outside and inside environments.
- These systems are provided in different forms depending on how the doors/windows are to be closed and the position thereof with respect to the outside environment.
- Generally, these systems include a seal mounted to a raised threshold installed at the floor or ground and adapted to abut the bottom edge of the leaf.
- These systems, which are adapted to be used in windows and doors having a frame with vertical posts, must have a seal whose length coincides with the width of the leaf and has a high anti-water sealing properties at the threshold.
- However, such systems are not easily installed and the posts often have sizes and shapes that prevent the raised threshold from ensuring a continuous seal against water seepage of water over the entire width of the leaf.
- In order to at least partially obviate these drawbacks, anti-seepage systems have been developed, which comprise connection devices which are adapted to join a raised threshold to the posts of a door/window frame in such a position as to ensure a sealing effect even at the lower portions the latter.
-
EP3014041 discloses an anti-water seepage system comprising a raised threshold having an aluminum section and a corner adapter installed at the bottom of each post and adapted to connect the raised threshold to the door/window frame. - In addition, the adapter comprises a plurality of seals adapted to prevent water seepage between the threshold and the post, an elongate portion which is adapted to be attached to the raised threshold and a vertical portion whose shape matches the shape of the outer profile of the post to facilitate attachment to the door/window frame.
- A first drawback of this arrangement is that the seals only partially act on the posts of the door/window frame and on the raised threshold, thereby limiting the overall sealing efficiency of the system.
- A further drawback is that the seals create a barrier against water seepage of water whose height is equivalent to that of the threshold and therefore limited to use with water levels of reduced height.
- A further drawback of this arrangement is that the raised threshold has no passage for discharge of condensation water collected in the gap between the bottom edge of the leaf and the raised threshold to the outside environment.
- In order to at least partially obviate these drawbacks systems have been developed that can drain the water collected between the door/window frame and the leaf.
-
EP2246513 discloses an adapter device for a raised threshold comprising a substantially L-shaped profile with a horizontal portion whose shape matches that of the raised threshold and a vertical portion for installation on the inner surface of the post. - In addition, the adapter comprises at least one opening adapted to collect any seeping water and drain it underneath the raised threshold.
- A first drawback of this arrangement is that the raised threshold can be fitted on the post of the door/window frame only by means of adapter that allows seeping water drainage. This drawback prevents the raised threshold from being mounted to an existing door/window frame.
- A further drawback is that the adapter device and the raised threshold can be installed on doors/windows having predetermined shapes and sizes and cannot therefore be adapted to doors/windows whose shapes and sizes differ from the standard.

FIGS. 1 and 2 , the door/window S comprises a frame T having a pair of substantially vertical posts M and a leaf L hinged to one of its posts M, to pivot about a substantially vertical axis. - Alternatively, the door/window S may comprise a pair of leaves L, each hinged to the vertical posts M and comprising a respective contact surface which is adapted to seal one leaf against the other.
- The posts M and the leaf L each comprise a transverse dimension based on the thickness of the wall of the room R in which the door/window S is installed.
- In addition, the leaf L comprises one side L1 facing outwards O, and one side L2 facing inwards toward the interior R of the room and comprises a substantially horizontal bottom edge BINF with an outer corner V1 and an inner corner V2.
- As best shown in
FIG. 7 , the leaf L and the posts M may comprise a plurality of substantially vertical seals G placed along their lateral edges BLAT and facing the leaf L and its respective post M respectively. - Each post M may comprise an auxiliary section A, also known in the art as "renovation profile" and shown in greater detail in
FIGS. 1 and 2 , which has a predetermined width and is adapted to be placed at the front of the wall to cover any defects or damage thereof caused by replacement or renovation of the door or window S. - In a preferred embodiment of the invention, the system 1 comprises a raised
threshold 2 located underneath the leaf L and defining a longitudinal axis X. Furthermore, thethreshold 2 is longitudinally attached to the ground F between the posts M. - As is known per se, the raised
threshold 2 may have a predetermined transverse dimension I1 which is adapted to provide stability to the frame T and block water seepage into the door/window S. - The raised
threshold 2 may be coupled to a slip-resistant metal section 3 facing toward the interior of the room R and adapted to enhance friction as people walk from the room R to the exterior O thereof. - Advantageously, the raised
threshold 2 may comprise acentral portion 4 having apath 5 for drainage of seeping condensed water generated between the leaf L and thethreshold 2. - This
drainage path 5 may comprise aninlet opening 6 formed on thetop surface 7 of thethreshold 2 and adischarge opening 8 formed on the front surface 9 thereof level with the ground F. - Furthermore, the system 1 comprises a
drip member 10 which is adapted to be fixed to the leaf L at its outer corner V1, and is designed to abut the raisedthreshold 2 to convey water to the exterior O and prevent seepage into the room R. - The
drip member 10 may comprise a substantially V-shaped aluminum section with a substantially horizontal flat internal wall 11 secured to the bottom edge of the leaf BINF and an inclinedouter wall 12 that contacts the outer side L1 of the leaf L and adapted to convey water. - The flat inner wall 11 of the
drip member 10 may comprise a plurality ofholes 13 for receiving fastener means 14 to fix thedrip member 10 to the outer corner V1 of the leaf L. - Furthermore, the inclined
outer wall 12 may comprise, at itsbottom edge 15 facing thethreshold 2, a brush withflexible bristles 16 adapted to block the draft directed toward the room R when the leaf L rests on the raisedthreshold 2. - The inclined
outer wall 12 may be formed with different shapes, as shown inFIGS. 8A to 8C , to facilitate installation of thedrip member 10 on outer corners V1 of leaves having different sizes and allowing extension toward the raisedthreshold 2. In addition, thedrip member 10 may have a longitudinal dimension selected to entirely cover the outer corner V1 of the leaf L. - Advantageously, the raised
threshold 2 is attached to the ground in a vertically offset position and at a predetermined distance h1 from thedrip member 10, as shown inFIG. 5 . - Furthermore, the
threshold 2 and thedrip member 10 comprise respective mutually facingvertical surfaces 17, 18 with a first longitudinal seal interposed therebetween 19 to provide a seal against seepage of water when the leaf L is in the closed position, abutting thethreshold 2. - The
first seal 19 may be made of a flexible material, selected from the group comprising elastomers or polymeric materials and may have the same length as the leaf L or the pair of leaves to seamlessly maintain sealing properties against water seepage. - As shown in
FIG. 5 , thevertical surface 18 of thedrip member 10 is rigidly joined to the flat inner wall 11 thereof and is also joined to thebottom edge 15 of the inclinedouter wall 12 by means of a connecting portion 18', which is also inclined. - Furthermore, the
vertical surface 18 that faces thethreshold 2 is oriented toward the exterior O, and is coplanar with the outer side L1 of the leaf L along a substantially vertical plane π. - By this arrangement, when the leaf L is in the closed position, the system 1 may ensure that the door/window S will have a seal class "9A" by providing peripheral continuity between the door/window S and the raised
threshold 2. - In a first embodiment, the
drip member 10 may comprise at least one pair of end-closingcaps 20 which are interposed between the lateral edge BLAT of the leaf L at the outer corner V1 and a vertical seal G of the corresponding post M. - Furthermore, in a second embodiment, not shown in the figures, and comprising a door/window S having a pair of leaves L, the
drip member 10 may comprise a pair of end-closingcaps 20 at the opening between the two leaves L. - The closing caps 20 can ensure seamless peripheral sealing against water seepage between the seals G of the posts M and the first
longitudinal seal 19 of thethreshold 2 by forming an extension of thedrip member 10. - According to a peculiar aspect of the invention, the
threshold 2 has a telescopic structure which is adapted to change the transverse dimension I1 to fit the transverse dimensions of the posts M and the leaf L. - Namely, the
threshold 2 may comprise an elongate section having aninner portion 21 that can be secured to the ground F and anouter portion 22 that is slidably fitted on theinner portion 21 in the transverse direction Y to telescopically change the transverse dimension I1 of thethreshold 2. - The
inner portion 21 may be mad of a plastic material whereas theouter portion 22 may be made of a metal material such as aluminum. - As shown in
FIGS. 5 and 6 , thefront edge 23 of theouter portion 22 may be hollow and projecting out of to the outer corner V1 of the leaf L and comprises the vertical surface 17 with thefirst seal 19 facing thedrip member 10. - Furthermore, the
outer portion 22 of thethreshold 2 may comprise a pair of transverse arms 22' which are rigidly joined to the front edge and are adapted to slidingly receive theinner portion 21 therein. - The
rear edge 24 of theinner portion 21 of the raisedthreshold 2 may define an abutment surface for the inner corner V2 of the leaf L with the interposition of a secondlongitudinal seal 25. - By this arrangement, the condensation water generated between the leaf L and the
threshold 2 can be blocked by the secondlongitudinal seal 25 and will be able to flow to the exterior O through thedrainage path 5 of the raisedthreshold 2. - Advantageously, the
top surface 7 of thethreshold 2 with theinlet opening 6 of thedrainage path 5 formed therein corresponds to the top face 21' of theinner portion 21. Furthermore, the surface 9 of thethreshold 2 in which thedischarge opening 8 is formed corresponds to thefront edge 23 of theouter portion 22. - The
inner portion 21 may comprise at least oneelongate receptacle 26, for receiving arigid reinforcement member 27 which is adapted to allow introduction of anchor means, not shown, for securing thethreshold 2 to the ground F and prevent undesired deformations of the latter. - As shown in
FIG. 6 , the system 1 comprises at least onefirst spacer 28 that is adapted to be fitted between theinner portion 21 and theouter portion 22 to telescopically change the transverse dimension I1 of thethreshold 2 to a desired value I2. - The
first spacer 28 may comprise a substantiallycontinuous end part 29 which is designed to abut aninner face 30 of thefront edge 23 of theouter portion 22, with a plurality oftransverse appendages 31 extending therefrom to abut the facing edge 32 of theinner portion 21. - Advantageously, the
first spacer 28 may have a predetermined transverse width I3, and may be selected from a plurality offirst spacers 28 having different transverse widths I3 to set the desired value L2 of the transverse dimension of the raisedthreshold 2. - By this arrangement, the raised
threshold 2 will be configured to transversely extend upon introduction of thefirst spacer 28 and to have a transverse dimension I2 that is greater than the predetermined dimension I1 by a value corresponding to the transverse width I3 selected from the different widths. - Namely, the different transverse widths I3 of the
first spacers 28 depend on the transverse dimensions of theirtransverse appendages 31, whereas the size of theend part 29 remains constant. - These
transverse appendages 31 may allow the raisedthreshold 2 to discretely cover all possible transverse dimensions of the posts M and transverse widths between the inner corner V2 and the outer corner V2 of the leaves L, or at least a range from a minimum of 70 mm to a maximum of 90 mm. - Conveniently, a plurality of
first spacers 28 having the same transverse width I3 may be simultaneously received in theouter portion 22. - In addition, a
second spacer 33 may be provided, which is adapted to fit into thedrip member 10 between the outer corner V1 of the bottom edge BINF of the leaf L and the flat inner wall 11 to change the predetermined distance h1 to a desired distance h2. - Namely, the
second spacer 33 may comprise aflat portion 34 that contacts the flat inner wall 11 of thedrip member 10 and has a plurality of substantiallyvertical appendages 35 extending therefrom, for abutment against the outer corner V1 of the leaf L. - Advantageously, the
second spacer 33 may have a predetermined height h3 and may be selected from a plurality ofsecond spacers 33 having different heights h3, to selectively adjust the predetermined distance h1 between thethreshold 2 and thedrip member 10. Particularly, eachsecond spacer 33 may havevertical appendices 35 having different heights. - The
second spacers 33 may comprise one or more fixation holes 36 for receiving the fastener means 14 that fix thedrip member 10 to the leaf L, so that may be stably placed therein. - In addition, the
drip member 10 may comprise a thirdlongitudinal seal 37 interposed between theinclined wall 12 and the outer side L1 of the leaf L to further bock seepage. - Any seepage of condensation water formed between the leaf L and the raised
threshold 2 may be blocked by a fourthlongitudinal seal 38 interposed between the flat inner wall 11 of thedrip member 10 and the bottom edge BINF of the leaf L. - It will be appreciated that the position of the
drip member 10 relative to theouter portion 22 of thethreshold 2, due to the interposition of thesecond spacer 33, and the position of theinner portion 21 of thethreshold 2 relative to the inner corner V2 of the leaf L due to the interposition of thefirst spacer 28 is essentially for to entirely block water seepage into the door/window S. - The first 28 and second 33 spacers may be made of a rigid plastic material plastic or may be selected from the group comprising low-elasticity rubbers having a high skin friction coefficient.
- Preferably, the system 1 may comprise a pair of substantially
prismatic blocks 39 laid at theend zones 40 of the raisedthreshold 2 and installed at the bottom of the bases of the posts M. - As shown in
FIGS. 9 and 10 , theseblocks 39 may have a peripheral shape that matches the shape the post M and abottom surface 41 that is adapted to sealingly interact with the raisedthreshold 2 and with the posts M to prevent water seepage therebetween. - The
bottom surface 41 of eachblock 39 may have a shape that substantially mates the shape of thetop surface 7 of the raisedthreshold 2 and a substantially flattop surface 42 that contacts the base of the posts M. - Namely, each of the
prismatic blocks 39 may comprise a substantially rectangularlateral plate 43 and alateral seal 44 for facilitating attachment thereof to the post M by means of appropriate lock means 45. - Each
prismatic block 39 may be coupled to ventelement 46 having a substantially Z-shaped cross-section and adapted to be mounted to the post M at the front surface 9 of thethreshold 2. - In addition, a compensating
member 47, as best shown inFIGS 1 to 4 , may be provided for eachprismatic block 39, which is fixed in a transverse position relative to theblock 39 and under the auxiliary section A of the post M. - The compensating
member 47 will be adapted to block the wall gap between the bottom edge of the auxiliary section A and thethreshold 2 and may have adjustable dimensions to fit the width of the auxiliary section A. - It will be appreciated from the foregoing that the system of the invention fulfills the intended objects and particularly provides effective anti-water seepage properties, may be installed in a plurality of doors and windows and provides effective anti-water seepage properties while ensuring a stable sealing effect over time.
- The present invention may find application in industry, because it can be produced on an industrial scale in factories for production of sealing elements for doors and windows and may be used for various applications, e.g. for commercial, industrial and private purposes.
