Definitions

  • the invention relates to a connecting element for providing a connection between a sill and a jamb of a frame.
  • a sill is a substantially horizontal beam of a frame for a door or window.
  • a jamb is a substantially vertical post of such a frame.
  • a connecting element can be provided, which connecting element is arranged between the sill and the jamb and is connected thereto.
  • Such a connecting element is per se known.
  • An example of such a connecting element is a so-called plinth block.
  • a sealing element also referred to as a flashing
  • Such a connecting element with seal is for instance known from EP1163416B1 or EP1659253 B1 of the present applicant.
  • Plinth blocks are also known from NL 6906307 , which discloses a ring-shaped seal on top of the plinth block in figure 5.
  • Another type of seal on a plinth block is known from WO 00/58589 . In both cases, the seal is a separate element interposed between the plinth block and a jamb.
  • the connecting element comprises a first part with first material properties and a second part with second material properties, which second material properties differ from the first material properties, and wherein the second part is connected inseparably to the first part.
  • An advantage of the connecting element according to the invention is that the first part and the second part are unable to move relative to each other, in particular unable to move in a substantially lateral direction, due to the inseparable connection therebetween.
  • the first part and the second part hereby remain positioned correctly relative to each other during for instance installation of the frame.
  • the inseparable connection can additionally or alternatively provide a substantially watertight and/or airtight connection between the first part and the second part.
  • inseparable is in this application understood to mean at least that the first part and the second part cannot be separated from each other without damaging the first part and/or the second part.
  • inseparable connection can alternatively or additionally be described as the first part and the second part forming one integral whole.
  • inseparable connection can alternatively or additionally be described as the second part being integrated with the first part.
  • the connecting element according to the invention can particularly be suitable for different types of frame, such as for instance both hollow and solid frames, and frames of different types of material.
  • the connecting element is formed from an inseparable, composite material, which composite material is composed of a first base material with the first material properties for forming the first part and a second base material with the second material properties for forming the second part.
  • the connecting element is formed from such a composite material
  • the first part and the second part can be formed simultaneously and/or jointly and/or in one production step, where before, the connecting element and the seal would have to be made separately of each other in multiple steps and/or with multiple operations.
  • no separate processing means need be provided here for the purpose of forming or manufacturing the first part and the second part, whereby costs can be saved.
  • Connecting elements are made in many different shapes.
  • the seal is usually die-cut into a correct shape. Due to the large number of different shapes of the connecting elements, it is however expensive to provide a separate cutting die for each shape. It is hereby often the case that the seal, which may or may not have already been die-cut into a basic shape, is cut additionally after being arranged on the connecting element. This is very labour-intensive and/or prone to errors and/or can result in undesired leakage of air, and is no longer necessary in the composite connecting element according to the invention.
  • the composite material is thus composed prior to the connecting element being manufactured therefrom.
  • the composite material can particularly be a solid material.
  • the second part forms a seal between the first part and the jamb.
  • the seal formed by the second part is particularly a moisture-tight and/or airtight seal.
  • the first part is substantially non-compressible and the second part is compressible to at least some extent.
  • the non-compressible first part can form a strong transition or connection between the sill and the jamb.
  • the term non-compressible is here understood to mean that the first part is non-compressible with the exertion of normal forces which are exerted on such a connecting element between a sill and a frame, for instance during installation of the frame or in a situation in which the frame has been installed in a building.
  • the second part is compressible to at least some extent, whereby a moisture-tight and/or airtight seal can be formed.
  • the first part can particularly have a hardness chosen between shore D50 and D90.
  • the second part can particularly have a hardness chosen between shore A25 and A75.
  • the first part can be manufactured from any suitable material, such as for instance from polyvinyl chloride (PVC), a polyolefin plastic such as for instance so-called Low Density Polyethylene (LDPE), Linear Low Density Polyethylene (LLDPE), High Density Polyethylene (HDPE), High Molecular Weight Polyethylene (HMWPE) or Ultra High Molecular Weight Polyethylene (UHMWPE), polypropylene (PP) or any random combination thereof.
  • PVC polyvinyl chloride
  • LDPE Low Density Polyethylene
  • LLDPE Linear Low Density Polyethylene
  • HDPE High Density Polyethylene
  • HMWPE High Molecular Weight Polyethylene
  • UHMWPE Ultra High Molecular Weight Polyethylene
  • PP polypropylene
  • the second part can be manufactured from any suitable material, such as for instance an olefin-based thermoplastic elastomer (TPE), such as EPDM, or a urethane-based TPE, or a rubber.
  • TPE thermoplastic elastomer
  • EPDM olefin-based thermoplastic elastomer
  • urethane-based TPE urethane-based TPE
  • an HMWPE with a shore D64 hardness and a specific weight of 0.95 g/cm 3 can particularly be a suitable material for the first part.
  • a TPE with a shore A57 hardness and a specific weight of 1.16 g/cm 3 can particularly be a suitable material for the second part.
  • the thickness of the first part and/or the second part can be chosen as desired.
  • a thickness of the second part can particularly be smaller than the thickness of the first part. More particularly, a thickness of the first part can for instance be chosen between 5 mm and 300 mm and/or a thickness of the second part can for instance be chosen between 1 mm and 5 mm.
  • the thickness is here defined in a direction from the sill to the jamb in use of the connecting element.
  • the invention likewise relates to a frame as defined in claim 8, which comprises a sill and at least one jamb, wherein arranged between the sill and the at least one jamb is at least one connecting element according to any one of the claims, which at least one connecting element is connected to the sill and the at least one jamb, and wherein the first part of the at least one connecting element is directed toward the sill and the second part of the connecting element is directed toward the at least one jamb.
  • such a frame can comprise at least two jambs and at least two connecting elements according to the invention, wherein one connecting element in each case forms the connection between one jamb and the sill.
  • such a frame can also comprise a substantially horizontal head element, which mutually connects the at least two jambs on their upper side.
  • the at least one connecting element can be connected to the sill and the at least one jamb by means of per se known connecting means, such as for instance screws and/or nails and/or plugs and/or glue.
  • the sill and/or the at least one jamb of the frame can take a solid or hollow form, for instance the form of a hollow profile.
  • the sill and/or the at least one jamb of the frame can be manufactured from any suitable and/or desired material.
  • the material from which the sill is manufactured can be the same as or different than the material from which the at least one jamb is manufactured.
  • the sill can for instance be manufactured from material containing wood, such as solid wood, composite wood, compressed wood fibres, or from plastic, such as thermoplastic or thermosetting plastic, or from metal, such as aluminium, or from a stone-like material, such as natural stone, artificial stone, concrete or composite stone, or from a composite material, or any random combination thereof.
  • material containing wood such as solid wood, composite wood, compressed wood fibres, or from plastic, such as thermoplastic or thermosetting plastic, or from metal, such as aluminium, or from a stone-like material, such as natural stone, artificial stone, concrete or composite stone, or from a composite material, or any random combination thereof.
  • the at least one jamb can for instance be manufactured from material containing wood, such as solid wood, composite wood, compressed wood fibres, or from plastic, such as thermoplastic or thermosetting plastic, or from metal, such as aluminium, or from a stone-like material, such as natural stone, artificial stone, concrete or composite stone, or from a composite material, or any random combination thereof.
  • material containing wood such as solid wood, composite wood, compressed wood fibres, or from plastic, such as thermoplastic or thermosetting plastic, or from metal, such as aluminium, or from a stone-like material, such as natural stone, artificial stone, concrete or composite stone, or from a composite material, or any random combination thereof.
  • the invention also relates to a method as described in claim 9, which is a method for manufacturing a connecting element defined in the claims, comprising the following steps, to be performed in any suitable order, of:
  • Step (c) is performed by pressing the first base material and the second base material together in an optionally heated mould.
  • the pressing can provide a good and/or strong adhesion between the first base material and the second base material, whereby the inseparable connection therebetween is formed. Because of the pressing it is the case that the second base material is pressed into the first base material to some extent, i.e. is emulsified therein.
  • the first base material can particularly be pressed onto the second base material.
  • connecting surfaces of the first base material and the second base material which are connected to each other are relatively rough and, in particular, not smooth or flat.
  • the connecting surface of the first base material and/or the connecting surface of the second base material can for instance have a surface roughness varying between 20 ⁇ m and 3000 ⁇ m.
  • Step (d) can for instance be performed by cutting and/or sawing and/or machining and/or milling a connecting element with a desired shape from the composite material.
  • Figure 1 shows a sill 1 and a jamb 2.
  • sill 1 has an upper surface which is not flat and not horizontal, while jamb 2 has a substantially flat and horizontal lower surface.
  • a connecting element 3 is therefore arranged therebetween in order to provide a good fit between jamb 2 and sill 1.
  • the shape of the underside of connecting element 3 is for this purpose adapted to the upper side of sill 1, and the shape of the upper side of the connecting element is adapted to the underside of jamb 2.
  • connecting element 3 has a first part 4 and a second part 5.
  • First part 4 is substantially hard and non-compressible so that it can form a good and/or strong connection between sill 1 and jamb 2, while the second part 5 is compressible to some extent in order to form a moisture-tight and/or airtight seal between connecting element 3 and jamb 2.
  • First part 4 and second part 5 are connected inseparably to each other, i.e. formed integrally as one whole.
  • Figures 2A and 2B show connecting element 3 in more detail.
  • the cross-section in thickness direction of figure 2B shows that a boundary layer 10 between connecting surfaces 11, 12 of first part 4 and second part 5 is not flat and/or smooth. This is caused in that, when a second base material which will form second part 5 is pressed onto a first base material which will form first part 4, the second base material is pressed into the first base material to some extent. This may additionally be caused in that the connecting surface 12 of first part 4 and/or the connecting surface 11 of second part 5 is rough.
  • the cross-section in thickness direction of figure 2B further shows that a thickness di of first part 4 is greater than a thickness d 2 of second part 5.
  • Figure 3A shows a solid sill 101.
  • the solid sill 101 can for instance be manufactured from a stone-like material, a composite material or a plastic material.
  • Three connecting elements 103, 203 and 303 according to different embodiments are arranged on sill 101.
  • the three different connecting elements 103, 203 and 303 in particular each have a different shape.
  • Connecting element 303 is thinner than the connecting elements 103 and 203.
  • each connecting element 103, 203 and 303 comprises a respective first part 104, 204, 304 and second part 105, 205, 305.
  • Figure 3B shows the same connecting elements 103, 203, 303 as in figure 3A , but arranged on a different type of sill 201.
  • Sill 201 is hollow, in particular manufactured from a hollow profile.
  • Sill 201 can for instance be manufactured from plastic, such as plastic PVC or fibre-reinforced plastic, or from metal, such as aluminium or steel.
  • Figures 3A and 3B show that both solid sills as in figure 3A and hollow sills as in figure 3B are suitable for connection to a connecting element according to the invention.
  • connecting elements 103, 203, 303 can further have both a width equal to the width of sill 101, 201, i.e. connecting element 103, and a width smaller than the width of the sill 101, 201, i.e. connecting elements 203, 303.
  • Connecting element 103 extends here over the whole width of sill 101, 201 and connecting elements 203, 303 extend over a part of the width of sill 101, 201.
  • FIGS 4A and 4B show two different types of jamb 102, 202, which can be connected to a sill via connecting elements according to the invention. This shows that both solid jambs as in figure 4A and hollow jambs as in figure 4B are suitable for connection to a connecting element according to the invention.
  • Jambs 102, 202 can for instance be manufactured from wood, plastic, such as plastic PVC or fibre-reinforced plastic, or from metal, such as aluminium or steel.
