Definitions

• the present invention belongs to the field of glazed openings made in the facade of a building, and more particularly relates to a window for improving thermal and acoustic insulation performance.
• the present invention finds a particularly advantageous application, although in no way limiting, in the case of a sliding or striking window comprising multiple glazing, for example double glazing.
• a window frame is formed by extruding profiles, and in particular has the function of ensuring, together with the glazing, an air tightness barrier to the and wind between an indoor environment and an outdoor environment.
• the objective being to provide, in particular, satisfactory insulation from a thermal as well as an acoustic point of view.
• the geometric configuration of a window constructed on the basis of such profiles, is presented in a substantially generic manner whatever its mode of use (sliding, striking, etc.).

• the sleeping frame is arranged peripherally to the opening frame, so as, in particular, to support it.
• the sleeping frame defines a mean plane in which extend the opening frame and the glazing.
• Such a configuration implies that the opening and sleeping frames have, at their respective uprights and crosspieces, peripheral surfaces forming a frame and substantially parallel to said mean plane. Insofar as these surfaces overlap very little, they are very widely exposed to indoor and outdoor environments, and thus form sensitive zones subject to heat exchange as well as air infiltration. These exchanges are detrimental to the thermal and acoustic performance of the window. To try to remedy this, various solutions have so far been envisaged, possibly in combination with one another in order to combine their respective effects.
• thermoacoustic window can be used in the prior art to designate a window obtained following the implementation of solutions dedicated to obtaining increased thermal and acoustic performance. Such an interpretation is maintained in the following description for the same terminology.
• profiles of metallic constitution can be used. Their thermal performance being average, we conventionally use plastic elements housed in internal cells of the profiles, so as to obtain a thermal break.
• profiles designed in thermoplastic material for example PVC (acronym of the English expression "PolyVinyl Chloride”), can be used. The use of PVC makes it possible to obtain thermal performance superior to that obtained with aluminum, to the detriment, however, of the mechanical strength.

• thermoacoustic windows configured so that the opening frame is hidden in the sleeping frame have also been proposed. According to such arrangements, only the sleeping frame is exposed to the interior and exterior environments, thereby reducing the sensitive areas exposed. However, there are still enough of them so that the thermal and acoustic insulation is not optimal.
• thermal insulation reaches a coefficient Uw of the order of 1.4 W.nr 2 .K 1 when the window is fitted with double glazing (or even 0.8 W.nr 2 .K- 1 in the case of triple glazing).

• said sliding window is here positioned so that the sleeping frame is flush with one side of the wall, so that the opening frame is contained in a plane which is parallel but nevertheless distinct from said side of the wall. In this way, the opening frame can slide without being hindered.
• the window is of the striking type (not shown in the figures), said displacement means being arranged between the opening and standing frames, as well as configured to form at least one axis of rotation of the opening frame when opening / closing the window.
• said displacement means comprise a hinge arranged so as to form an axis of vertical rotation.
• said hinge is positioned within a recess made in the external face of the sleeping frame, so as to remain concealed. The hinge is fixed within the recess in a manner known per se.
• FIGS. 2a, 2b and 2c schematically represent an alternative embodiment of the window 100 of FIGS. 1 a to 1 f, and correspond to a view in cross section in positions respectively closed, open translated and open sliding of said window 100.
• Figures 2a to 2c illustrate a cross section made at the amounts of the window 100, only one amount being shown. It nevertheless appears clearly that the arrangements described below relate to the window 100 in its entirety by symmetry.
• the window 100 is of the sliding translation type.
• the peripheral edges of the sleeping frame 120 extend substantially beyond the peripheral edges of the opening frame 110 when the window 100 is closed, so as to define opposite the opening frame 110 a peripheral extension 123 of said sleeping frame 120.
• the peripheral edges respective of the opening frame 110 and the glazing 130 are in turn aligned.
• the window 100 includes a peripheral cover 170 configured to, when the window 100 is closed, cooperate edge to edge with said peripheral extension when the window 100 is closed.
• edge-to-edge cooperation we refer here to the fact that, in cross section, said cover 170 extends a peripheral edge 124 of the fixed frame 120, said peripheral edge 124 joining the respective peripheral edges of the internal 121 and external 122 faces of said sleeping frame 120.
• the width of the peripheral cover 170 is equal to the width of said peripheral extension 123.
• said cover 170 cooperates fixedly with the peripheral extension 123 by means of holding means known per se (glue, screws, etc.). None however excludes having a removable cooperation between the cover 170 and the peripheral extension 123, for example by embedding.
• peripheral cover 170 is configured to, when the window 100 is closed, extend in a direction normal to the glazing 130 at least as far as the internal face 131 of the glazing 130 which is superimposed on the opening frame 110.
• said peripheral cover 170 makes it possible at least in part to fill said offset in order to obtain a window 100 in a parallelepiped block.
• the cover 170 is configured to, when the window 100 is closed, achieve thermal insulation at least in said normal direction in which it extends.
• the cover 170 allows advantageously to reduce the heat exchanges located at the level of said peripheral extension 123 which is not hidden by the glazing 130 and the opening frame 110. It should however be noted that such heat exchanges are of minor influence on the performance of the window 100, in particular because of the small dimensions of the peripheral extension 123, for example at most 1 cm. It is thus understood that the peripheral cover 170 constitutes an auxiliary aid to the thermal insulation performance of the window 100.
• the additional thermal insulation provided by the cover 170 is all the better as the latter covers at least the opening frame 110.
• the peripheral cover 170 extends up to 'to the external face 132 of the glazing 130.
• the cover 170 is for example made of plastic material, preferably of thermoplastic elastomer material of TPE type.
• Said cover 170 also includes, for example, cells (not shown in the figures) formed in an internal volume defined by its walls. The implementation of such cells is known, those skilled in the art knowing in particular that they contribute to limiting the heat exchanges by convection since they contain air in the stationary state.
• peripheral cover 170 The configuration and arrangement of the peripheral cover 170 described above have been in no way limiting. Thus, nothing excludes having a peripheral cover fixed to the opening frame 110 or to the glazing 130 in order to cooperate edge to edge with the peripheral extension 123 of the sleeping frame 120.
• the peripheral edge of the opening frame 110 also extends substantially beyond the peripheral edge of the glazing 130, for example so as to be aligned with the peripheral edge of the sleeping frame 120.
• the peripheral extension is defined at the level of the external face of the opening frame 110, and the cover 170 cooperates edge to edge with this peripheral extension to extend normally to the glazing 130, for example up to the external face 132 of the glazing 130.
• the alternative embodiment of the window 100 of FIGS. 2a to 2c relates on the one hand to the presence of the peripheral cover 170, and on the other hand also the configuration of the means for moving the opening frame 110 relative to the sleeping frame 120. It being understood that these two aspects are independent of one another in the context of the production of the window 100.
• the external face 122 of the fixed frame 120 comprises a peripheral groove 125 extending in the direction opposite to the glazing 130.
• a peripheral groove 125 thus forms a recess, by example of rectangular shape in cross section.
• said intermediate part 140 has, in cross section, a substantially L-shaped formed by a first branch 143 and a second branch 144.
• Said first branch 143 is configured to cooperate with said peripheral groove 125 during said translational movement normal to glazing 130.
• Said second branch 144 for its part, supports sliding guides (not shown in the figures), for example configured in an identical manner to those described in Figures 1 a to 1f.
• said second branch 144 is configured to bear against the opening frame 110 during said translational movement normal to glazing 130.
• said second branch 144 is in abutment against the face external 122 of the sleeping frame 120 when the window 100 is closed, at a part of said external face 122 extending normally to the peripheral groove 125.
• Said second branch 144 further extends over a distance less than the width of said external face 122.
• said intermediate piece 140 forms, in section, a set-up configured to fit into the peripheral groove 125 of the sleeping frame 120 when the window 100 is closed, and push in translation the opening frame 110 during the first step of the movement sliding in translation.
• the second stage of said movement is carried out by means of the sliding guides.
• the intermediate piece 140 is hidden when the window 100 is closed, which makes it possible to improve the general aesthetics of the window 100.
• the thickness of the multilayer structure is here substantially equal to the sum of the respective thicknesses of the glazing 130 and frames opening 110 and dormant 120. This is due to the fact that the thickness of the second branch 144 is for example at most a few millimeters, typically 2 mm, and therefore negligible compared to those of the glazing 130 or frames 110 , 120.
• the setting in motion of the L-shaped intermediate part 140 is carried out by means of a hardware identical to that described in FIGS. 1a to 1f, for example by means of compasses fixed in the peripheral groove 125 between the frame 120 and said first branch 143 of L.
• the invention relates to a preconstituted assembly, or kit, comprising profiles for the assembly of an opening frame 110, profiles for the assembly of a sleeping frame 120, as well as means of movement, so as to allow the construction of a window 100 according to the invention.
• the profiles are of the upright and cross type, and for example delivered so as to have a predetermined length.
• the lengths of the profiles are for example adjusted according to the opening in which the window 100 assembled is intended to be installed.
• the profiles of the kit have a standard length, so that they can be adjusted by cutting after receipt of the kit.
• kit includes other elements, such as for example glazing 130, hardware 150 intended for setting in motion the means of movement, etc.
• the invention relates to a method for closing an opening in a wall separating an external environment 20 from an internal environment 10. Said method comprises the steps consisting in:
• the window 100 is assembled before its installation in the opening of the wall.
• the window elements are placed one after the other in the opening, for example starting with the frame 120.
• the step of assembling the window 100 in the wall opening is carried out so that the glazing 130 faces the outside environment 20. This mode of implementation conforms to the description given above.
• the step of assembling the window in the wall opening is carried out so that the glazing 130 faces the interior environment 10.
• the glazing 130 faces the external environment 20 only in the position of the window 100, and therefore does not require any additional manipulations. It is then understood that in this mode, the external face of the glazing is facing the interior environment.
• the present invention achieves the objectives which it had set itself.
• it allows the production of a window having excellent thermal and acoustic insulation performance, and of easy design and assembly.
