Description

Domaine technique de l'inventionTechnical field of the invention

L'invention relève du domaine des menuiseries et concerne notamment un dispositif de seuil, une menuiserie notamment du type fenêtre, porte ou porte fenêtre, comportant ledit dispositif de seuil et un procédé de mise en oeuvre dudit dispositif de seuil.The invention relates to the field of joinery and relates in particular to a threshold device, joinery in particular of the window, door or window-door type, comprising said threshold device and a method of implementing said threshold device.

La présente invention s'applique particulièrement aux menuiseries du type comprenant un ouvrant relié de façon articulée à un dormant.The present invention applies particularly to joinery of the type comprising an opening connected in an articulated manner to a fixed frame.

Technique antérieurePrior technique

Les menuiseries destinées à obturer de façon réversible une baie d'un bâtiment comportent de manière générale un ouvrant relié de façon mobile à un dormant.The joinery intended to reversibly close a bay of a building generally comprises an opening movably connected to a fixed frame.

L'ouvrant et le dormant sont classiquement formés de plusieurs profilés joints les uns aux autres de sorte à former respectivement un cadre d'ouvrant et un cadre de dormant.The sash and the fixed frame are conventionally formed from several sections joined to each other so as to respectively form a sash frame and a fixed frame.

Les cadres d'ouvrant et de dormant sont formés par des montants reliant entre elles des traverses supérieure et inférieure. La traverse inférieure du dormant est destinée à reposer contre le sol et est constituée par un seuil de menuiserie.The sash and fixed frames are formed by uprights interconnecting upper and lower crosspieces. The lower crosspiece of the frame is intended to rest against the ground and is made up of a joinery sill.

On connaît des menuiseries comprenant un seuil formé par un profilé composite comprenant deux profilés en aluminium ou alliage d'aluminium séparés par un profilé en matière synthétique.Joinery is known comprising a threshold formed by a composite section comprising two sections of aluminum or aluminum alloy separated by a section of synthetic material.

Malgré cette disposition permettant d'éliminer ou de réduire les ponts thermiques, les performances d'isolation phonique et thermique à l'interface du seuil et de la traverse inférieure d'ouvrant sont généralement relativement faibles par rapport aux interfaces entre les montants et de la traverse supérieure de l'ouvrant et du dormant.Despite this arrangement making it possible to eliminate or reduce thermal bridges, the sound and thermal insulation performance at the interface of the sill and the lower crosspiece of the opening is generally relatively low compared to the interfaces between the uprights and the upper crosspiece of the sash and the frame.

Par ailleurs, les seuils de l'état de la technique sont généralement fixés au sol entre les montants du dormant, de manière irréversible, par exemple par collage.Furthermore, the thresholds of the state of the art are generally fixed to the ground between the uprights of the frame, irreversibly, for example by gluing.

De manière usuelle, lors de la construction de bâtiments, les cadres de dormant des menuiseries sont mis en place dans les baies de bâtiments avant que les travaux de construction ne soient terminés.Usually, during the construction of buildings, the frame frames of the joinery are put in place in the openings of the buildings before the construction work is completed.

Les baies sont traversées de nombreuses fois par les ouvriers en charge de la construction lors des travaux. Ces derniers transportant notamment de l'outillage ou manoeuvrant des machines, ils occasionnent souvent des dommages sur les seuils des menuiseries dont les cadres de dormant sont déjà installées. Selon une autre perspective, les seuils de ces huisseries ont tendance à gêner le passage des ouvriers et de leurs outils ou machines et augmente le risque de chutes des ouvriers ainsi que le risque d'endommager leur outillage.The bays are crossed many times by the workers in charge of the construction during the works. The latter carrying in particular tools or maneuvering machines, they often cause damage to the thresholds of joinery whose fixed frames are already installed. From another perspective, the thresholds of these frames tend to obstruct the passage of workers and their tools or machines and increase the risk of workers falling as well as the risk of damaging their tools.

En outre, pour répondre de manière favorable aux contraintes d'épaisseurs, les seuils sont généralement reliés aux montants de dormants par une pièce de liaison présentant une faible résistance mécanique.In addition, to respond favorably to the thickness constraints, the thresholds are generally connected to the uprights of the fixed frames by a connecting piece having low mechanical strength.

Présentation de l'inventionPresentation of the invention

La présente invention a pour objectif de palier les inconvénients précités en proposant un dispositif de seuil permettant d'augmenter les performances d'isolation phonique et thermique.The object of the present invention is to overcome the aforementioned drawbacks by proposing a threshold device making it possible to increase the sound and thermal insulation performance.

Un autre objectif de la présente invention est d'augmenter la résistance mécanique de la liaison entre le seuil et les montants de dormant.Another objective of the present invention is to increase the mechanical strength of the connection between the sill and the frame uprights.

Encore un autre objectif de la présente invention est de proposer un seuil amovible.Yet another object of the present invention is to provide a removable threshold.

À cet effet, l'invention concerne un dispositif de seuil pour menuiserie, ladite menuiserie comprenant un ouvrant relié de manière articulée à un dormant, le dormant étant formé par deux montants, une traverse supérieure et un profilé de seuil, le dispositif de seuil comprenant un organe de liaison destiné à lier mécaniquement le profilé de seuil avec un montant de dormant.To this end, the invention relates to a threshold device for carpentry, said carpentry comprising a leaf connected in an articulated manner to a fixed frame, the fixed frame being formed by two uprights, an upper crosspiece and a threshold profile, the threshold device comprising a connecting member intended to mechanically connect the threshold profile with a frame upright.

L'organe de liaison comporte une équerre rigide et une équerre d'étanchéité, laquelle est réalisée dans un matériau polymère, lesdites équerre rigide et équerre d'étanchéité étant destinées à être fixées au profilé de seuil et au montant de dormant et étant configurées de sorte à coopérer par emboitement l'une avec l'autre.The connecting member comprises a rigid bracket and a sealing bracket, which is made of a polymer material, said rigid bracket and sealing bracket being intended to be fixed to the threshold profile and to the frame upright and being configured so as to cooperate by interlocking with each other.

L'équerre d'étanchéité permet avantageusement à la menuiserie de présenter d'importantes propriétés d'isolation phonique et thermique dans la mesure où elle permet une continuité dans l'isolation périphérique de la menuiserie réalisée par des joints du type connu de l'état de la technique.The sealing bracket advantageously allows the carpentry to have significant sound and thermal insulation properties insofar as it allows continuity in the peripheral insulation of the carpentry produced by seals of the type known from the state of technique.

En outre, la résistance mécanique est améliorée grâce à l'équerre rigide.In addition, the mechanical resistance is improved thanks to the rigid bracket.

On entend dans le présent texte par le terme « rigide », que l'équerre est non déformable dans des conditions normales d'utilisation, c'est-à-dire les conditions dans lesquelles l'équerre est utilisée dans le cadre de la présente invention. La rigidité de l'équerre permet de lui conférer une résistance appropriée aux contraintes mécaniques.In this text, the term "rigid" means that the bracket is non-deformable under normal conditions of use, i.e. the conditions under which the bracket is used in the context of this invention. The rigidity of the bracket gives it appropriate resistance to mechanical stress.

Avantageusement, le seuil selon l'invention est compatible avec des dispositifs d'articulation d'ouvrant cachés.Advantageously, the threshold according to the invention is compatible with hidden sash hinge devices.

Cette caractéristique permet avantageusement, après fixation du dispositif de seuil au profilé de seuil, d'observer une continuité de la deuxième rainure et ainsi de pouvoir envisager d'intégrer dans la deuxième rainure du profilé de seuil un mécanisme de verrouillage de la fermeture de l'ouvrant et/ou un mécanisme d'articulation de l'ouvrant.This characteristic advantageously makes it possible, after fixing the threshold device to the threshold profile, to observe a continuity of the second groove and thus to be able to consider integrating in the second groove of the threshold profile a mechanism for locking the closure of the door. sash and / or an articulation mechanism of the sash.

Dans des modes particuliers de réalisation de l'invention, l'équerre d'étanchéité est destinée à être agencée dans le prolongement d'une barrette intermédiaire du profilé de seuil, et est destinée à recevoir en appui un joint d'étanchéité, dit « joint central », destiné à être fixé contre le montant de dormant, ladite équerre d'étanchéité comportant à cet effet un profil de coopération par lequel elle est destinée à coopérer avec le joint central par complémentarité de forme.In particular embodiments of the invention, the sealing bracket is intended to be arranged in the extension of an intermediate bar of the threshold profile, and is intended to receive a seal, called " central seal”, intended to be fixed against the frame upright, said sealing bracket comprising for this purpose a cooperation profile by which it is intended to cooperate with the central seal by complementarity of form.

Cette caractéristique permet avantageusement, après fixation du dispositif de seuil au profilé de seuil, d'observer une continuité d'étanchéité et ainsi d'impacter favorablement les propriétés d'isolation thermique et phonique de la menuiserie dans laquelle s'intègre le dispositif de seuil.This characteristic advantageously makes it possible, after fixing the threshold device to the threshold profile, to observe a continuity of sealing and thus to have a favorable impact on the thermal and sound insulation properties of the carpentry in which the threshold device is integrated. .

Dans des modes particuliers de réalisation de l'invention, l'équerre d'étanchéité comporte une branche s'étendant depuis sa semelle jusqu'à une extrémité libre, ladite branche étant destinée à se loger dans une rainure du montant de dormant.In particular embodiments of the invention, the sealing bracket comprises a branch extending from its sole to a free end, said branch being intended to be housed in a groove of the frame upright.

Description des modes de réalisationDescription of embodiments

On note dès à présent que, de manière générale, la portée de la présente invention ne se limite pas aux modes de réalisation décrits ci-dessus à titre d'exemples non limitatifs, mais s'étend au contraire à toutes les modifications à la portée de l'homme de l'art. Chaque caractéristique d'un mode de réalisation peut être mise en oeuvre isolément ou combinée à toute autre caractéristique de tout autre mode de réalisation de manière avantageuse.It is now noted that, in general, the scope of the present invention is not limited to the embodiments described above by way of non-limiting examples, but on the contrary extends to all modifications to the scope of the skilled person. Each feature of an embodiment can be implemented in isolation or combined with any other feature of any other embodiment in an advantageous manner.

On note également que les termes relatifs « haut », « bas », « supérieur » et « inférieur » sont employés de sorte à correspondre au cas dans lequel la menuiserie selon l'invention est installée dans une baie de bâtiment, tel que décrit dans le mode de réalisation représenté sur les figures 1 à 3.It is also noted that the relative terms "top", "bottom", "upper" and "lower" are used so as to correspond to the case in which the joinery according to the invention is installed in a building bay, as described in the embodiment shown in the figures 1 to 3 .

La menuiserie selon l'invention comprend un ouvrant relié de façon articulée à un dormant.The carpentry according to the invention comprises an opening connected in an articulated manner to a fixed frame.

L'ouvrant et le dormant sont formés de plusieurs profilés joints les uns aux autres de sorte à former respectivement un cadre d'ouvrant et un cadre de dormant.The sash and the fixed frame are formed from several sections joined to each other so as to respectively form a sash frame and a fixed frame.

Le terme « profilé » définit communément ainsi que dans le présent texte une pièce longiforme de section droite constante.The term "profile" commonly defines as well as in the present text an elongated piece of constant cross section.

Les cadres d'ouvrant et de dormant sont formés par des montants reliant entre elles des traverses supérieure et inférieure. La traverse inférieure du dormant est destinée à reposer contre le sol et est constituée par un profilé de seuil.The sash and fixed frames are formed by uprights interconnecting upper and lower crosspieces. The lower crosspiece of the frame is intended to rest against the ground and consists of a threshold profile.

La figure 1 illustre une vue éclatée d'un dispositif de seuil 10 selon un mode préféré de réalisation de la présente invention, et d'un profilé de seuil 20 et d'un montant de dormant 30 avec lesquels il est destiné à être fixé pour former une portion d'un cadre de dormant. Autrement dit, le dispositif de seuil 10 est destiné à être intégré dans la menuiserie.There figure 1 illustrates an exploded view of a threshold device 10 according to a preferred embodiment of the present invention, and of a threshold profile 20 and a frame post 30 with which it is intended to be fixed for forming a portion of a sleeper frame. In other words, the threshold device 10 is intended to be integrated into the carpentry.

Plus précisément, le dispositif de seuil 10 comprend des organes de liaison destinés à lier mécaniquement le profilé de seuil 20 et le montant de dormant 30 l'un à l'autre.More specifically, the threshold device 10 comprises connecting members intended to mechanically link the threshold profile 20 and the frame upright 30 to each other.

Lorsque l'ouvrant est fermé contre le dormant, le dispositif de seuil 10 selon l'invention coopère avec la traverse inférieure, tel que représenté sur la figure 3 et tel que décrit ci-après en détail.When the opening is closed against the frame, the threshold device 10 according to the invention cooperates with the lower crosspiece, as shown in the picture 3 and as described hereinafter in detail.

Chaque organe de liaison comprend un ensemble de pièces destinées à coopérer les unes avec les autres par des formes complémentaires. Plus précisément, chaque organe de liaison comporte :

  • une équerre rigide 11 destinée à être liée au profilé de seuil 20 et au montant de dormant 30,
  • une équerre d'étanchéité 12 destinée à être liée à l'équerre rigide 11 et au montant de dormant 30,
  • un bouchon d'étanchéité 13 destiné à recouvrir au moins en partie l'équerre d'étanchéité 12 et le profilé de seuil 20.
Each connecting member comprises a set of parts intended to cooperate with each other by complementary shapes. More specifically, each liaison body comprises:
  • a rigid bracket 11 intended to be linked to the threshold profile 20 and to the frame upright 30,
  • a sealing bracket 12 intended to be connected to the rigid bracket 11 and to the frame upright 30,
  • a sealing plug 13 intended to at least partially cover the sealing bracket 12 and the sill profile 20.

Comme le montrent les figures 1 et 2 dans le mode préféré de réalisation de l'invention, le profilé de seuil 20 s'étend entre deux extrémités longitudinales et est formé par un profilé dit « profilé proximal » 21 destiné à être agencé du côté vers lequel est entraîné l'ouvrant lorsqu'il est déplacé de sorte à ouvrir la baie. Autrement dit, le profilé proximal 21 est destiné à être adjacent à un environnement intérieur d'un bâtiment.As shown by the figure 1 And 2 in the preferred embodiment of the invention, the sill profile 20 extends between two longitudinal ends and is formed by a so-called "proximal profile" profile 21 intended to be arranged on the side towards which the opening is driven when it is moved so as to open the bay. In other words, the proximal profile 21 is intended to be adjacent to an interior environment of a building.

Le profilé proximal 21 est séparé d'un profilé dit « profilé distal » 22 par une barrette dite « barrette intermédiaire » 23 réalisée dans un matériau thermiquement isolant. Cette barrette intermédiaire 23 constitue un moyen de rupture de pont thermique.The proximal profile 21 is separated from a profile called "distal profile" 22 by a bar called "intermediate bar" 23 made of a thermally insulating material. This intermediate bar 23 constitutes a thermal bridge breaking means.

Préférentiellement les profilés proximal 21 et distal 22 sont réalisés en aluminium ou en alliage d'aluminium.Preferably, the proximal 21 and distal 22 sections are made of aluminum or an aluminum alloy.

Préférentiellement, le profilé proximal 21 comporte successivement, depuis un bord libre vers un bord par lequel il est relié à la barrette intermédiaire 23, une rainure longitudinale orientée vers le bas dite « première rainure » 210, une rainure longitudinale orientée vers le haut dite « deuxième rainure » 211, et une rainure latérale orientée vers la barrette intermédiaire 23.Preferably, the proximal profile 21 comprises successively, from a free edge to an edge by which it is connected to the intermediate bar 23, a longitudinal groove directed downwards called "first groove" 210, a longitudinal groove directed upwards called " second groove » 211, and a lateral groove oriented towards the intermediate bar 23.

Le profilé distal 22 comporte successivement, depuis un bord libre vers un bord par lequel il est relié à la barrette intermédiaire 23, une rainure longitudinale orientée vers le haut dite « troisième rainure » 220 et une rainure latérale orientée vers la barrette intermédiaire 23.The distal section 22 comprises successively, from a free edge to an edge by which it is connected to the intermediate bar 23, a longitudinal groove oriented upwards called "third groove" 220 and a lateral groove oriented towards the intermediate bar 23.

La troisième rainure 220 est définie par une paroi de fond 221 reliant entre elles deux parois latérales dont une formant le bord libre du profilé distal 22 est appelée dans la suite du texte « paroi externe » 222, et dont l'autre est appelée « paroi interne » 223.The third groove 220 is defined by a bottom wall 221 connecting two side walls together, one of which forms the free edge of the distal profile 22 is called in the following text "outer wall" 222, and the other of which is called "wall internal” 223.

Cette troisième rainure 220 est destinée à recueillir les eaux s'écoulant sur la menuiserie, par exemple, les eaux de pluie, de nettoyage, etc.This third groove 220 is intended to collect the water flowing over the carpentry, for example, rainwater, cleaning water, etc.

Comme le montrent les figures 1 à 3, la barrette intermédiaire 23 est engagée fixement dans les rainures latérales des profilés proximal et distal.As shown by the figures 1 to 3 , the intermediate bar 23 is fixedly engaged in the lateral grooves of the proximal and distal profiles.

Telque visible sur la vue éclatée de la figure 1, l'équerre rigide 11 comporte une semelle 110 par laquelle elle est destinée à reposer contre le sol, ladite semelle 110 comprenant une languette 111 prévue pour être introduite dans la première rainure 210 du profilé de seuil 20, depuis l'une des extrémités longitudinales dudit profilé de seuil 20, afin de lier ensemble ladite équerre rigide 11 et ledit profilé de seuil 20.As seen in the exploded view of the figure 1 , the rigid bracket 11 comprises a sole 110 by which it is intended to rest against the ground, said sole 110 comprising a tongue 111 intended to be introduced into the first groove 210 of the threshold profile 20, from one of the longitudinal ends of said threshold profile 20, in order to link together said rigid bracket 11 and said threshold profile 20.

Sur la semelle 110 s'étend, selon une direction parallèle à la direction dans laquelle s'étend la languette 111, une rainure intermédiaire 112 orientée vers le haut et destinée à prolonger la deuxième rainure 211 du profilé de seuil 20 lorsque la languette 111 est engagée dans la première rainure 210 dudit profilé de seuil 20. Autrement dit, la rainure intermédiaire 112 de la semelle 110 présente une section droite de forme et de dimensions identiques à celle de la deuxième rainure 211 du profilé de seuil 20.On the sole 110 extends, in a direction parallel to the direction in which the tongue 111 extends, an intermediate groove 112 oriented upwards and intended to extend the second groove 211 of the threshold profile 20 when the tongue 111 is engaged in the first groove 210 of said threshold profile 20. In other words, the intermediate groove 112 of the sole 110 has a cross section of shape and dimensions identical to that of the second groove 211 of the threshold profile 20.

Cette caractéristique permet avantageusement, après fixation du dispositif de seuil au profilé de seuil, d'observer une continuité de la deuxième rainure 211.This characteristic advantageously makes it possible, after fixing the threshold device to the threshold profile, to observe a continuity of the second groove 211.

Préférentiellement, la semelle 110 de l'équerre rigide 11 comporte des éléments d'emboitement 114 adaptés à coopérer avec des éléments d'emboitement 121 dont est pourvue l'équerre d'étanchéité 12 afin de lier ensemble ladite équerre rigide 11 avec l'équerre d'étanchéité 12.Preferably, the sole 110 of the rigid bracket 11 comprises interlocking elements 114 adapted to cooperate with interlocking elements 121 with which the sealing bracket 12 is provided in order to link together said rigid bracket 11 with the bracket sealing 12.

L'équerre rigide 11 comporte une branche 113 s'étendant depuis la semelle 110, dans une direction perpendiculaire à cette dernière, ladite branche 113 étant destinée à s'engager dans une cavité 31 du montant de dormant 30.The rigid bracket 11 comprises a branch 113 extending from the flange 110, in a direction perpendicular to the latter, said branch 113 being intended to engage in a cavity 31 of the frame upright 30.

Avantageusement, le montant de dormant 30 présente une rainure longitudinale 33 s'étendant le long dudit montant, à l'arrière de la cavité 31, de sorte que lorsque la branche 113 est engagée dans la cavité 31 et que la languette 111 est engagée dans la première rainure 210, la rainure 33 se trouve dans le prolongement de la deuxième rainure 211 du profilé de seuil 20.Advantageously, the frame upright 30 has a longitudinal groove 33 extending along said upright, at the rear of the cavity 31, so that when the branch 113 is engaged in the cavity 31 and the tongue 111 is engaged in the first groove 210, the groove 33 is in the extension of the second groove 211 of the sill profile 20.

Cette rainure longitudinale 33 assurant la continuité de la deuxième rainure 211, il est possible d'intégrer dans la deuxième rainure 211 du profilé de seuil 20 un mécanisme de verrouillage de la fermeture de l'ouvrant et/ou un mécanisme d'articulation de l'ouvrant.This longitudinal groove 33 ensuring the continuity of the second groove 211, it is possible to integrate in the second groove 211 of the threshold profile 20 a mechanism for locking the closure of the opening and/or a mechanism for articulating the door. opening.

Dans le mode de réalisation représenté sur la figure 1, la branche 113 et la cavité 31 présentent toutes deux une section droite carrée.In the embodiment shown in the figure 1 , the branch 113 and the cavity 31 both have a square cross section.

L'équerre d'étanchéité 12 est avantageusement réalisée en matériau polymère, tel qu'un polyamide, afin d'assurer une continuité d'isolation thermique et phonique tel que décrit plus en détail ci-après.The sealing bracket 12 is advantageously made of a polymer material, such as a polyamide, in order to ensure continuity of thermal and sound insulation as described in more detail below.

L'équerre d'étanchéité 12 présente également une semelle 120 sur laquelle sont agencés les éléments d'emboitement 121.The sealing bracket 12 also has a flange 120 on which the interlocking elements 121 are arranged.

Dans le mode préféré de réalisation de l'invention représenté sur la vue éclatée de la figure 1, les éléments d'emboitement 114 ou 121 sont formés par un plot et par un orifice adaptés à coopérer l'un avec l'autre.In the preferred embodiment of the invention shown in the exploded view of the figure 1 , the interlocking elements 114 or 121 are formed by a stud and by an orifice adapted to cooperate with each other.

Préférentiellement, le plot s'étend depuis la semelle 120 de l'équerre d'étanchéité 12 et présente la forme d'un téton, et l'orifice est réalisé dans la semelle 110 de l'équerre rigide 11.Preferably, the stud extends from the sole 120 of the sealing bracket 12 and has the shape of a stud, and the orifice is made in the sole 110 of the rigid bracket 11.

Les éléments d'emboitement 114 ou 121 peuvent en outre, comme le montre la figure 1, être formés par deux épaulements dont la forme est complémentaire destinés à se chevaucher.The interlocking elements 114 or 121 can also, as shown in the figure 1 , be formed by two shoulders whose shape is complementary intended to overlap.

Plus particulièrement, l'équerre d'étanchéité 12 comporte, sous sa semelle 120, un évidement formant épaulement, depuis lequel évidement s'étend le plot vers le bas. L'évidement est destiné à coopérer avec une portion de la semelle 110 de l'équerre rigide 11, par coopération de forme, ladite portion comprenant un autre évidement formant l'épaulement, de forme complémentaire à celui de la semelle 120 de l'équerre d'étanchéité 12.More particularly, the sealing bracket 12 comprises, under its flange 120, a recess forming a shoulder, from which the recess extends the stud downwards. The recess is intended to cooperate with a portion of the sole 110 of the rigid bracket 11, by shape cooperation, said portion comprising another recess forming the shoulder, of a shape complementary to that of the sole 120 of the sealing bracket 12.

C'est sur cette portion de la semelle 110 de l'équerre rigide 11 qu'est réalisée l'orifice dans lequel le plot est destiné à s'introduire, de sorte que lorsque la semelle 120 de l'équerre d'étanchéité 12 recouvre celle de l'équerre rigide 11, les éléments d'emboitement 117 et 121 coopèrent l'un avec l'autre et lesdites équerres sont liées l'une à l'autre.It is on this portion of the sole 110 of the rigid bracket 11 that the orifice in which the stud is intended to be introduced is made, so that when the sole 120 of the sealing bracket 12 covers that of the rigid bracket 11, the interlocking elements 117 and 121 cooperate with each other and said brackets are linked to each other.

On peut voir sur la figure 1 que la semelle 120 de l'équerre d'étanchéité 12 est destinée à recevoir en appui un joint d'étanchéité, appelé ci-après « joint central » 32, destiné à être fixé contre le montant de dormant 30.You can see on the figure 1 that the sole 120 of the sealing bracket 12 is intended to receive in support a seal, hereinafter called "central seal" 32, intended to be fixed against the frame upright 30.

Préférentiellement, l'équerre d'étanchéité 12 présente un profil de coopération par lequel elle est destinée à épouser la forme du joint central 32 sur une partie de sa longueur et sur une partie de sa périphérie. Autrement dit, le profil de coopération est conçu de sorte à présenter une forme complémentaire de celle du joint central 32.Preferably, the sealing bracket 12 has a cooperation profile by which it is intended to match the shape of the central seal 32 over part of its length and over part of its periphery. In other words, the cooperation profile is designed so as to have a shape complementary to that of the central seal 32.

En outre, l'équerre d'étanchéité 12, sur sa semelle 120, présente une surépaisseur d'une forme correspondant à celle de la section droite dudit joint central 32, destinée à recevoir en appui l'extrémité de ce dernier, pour favoriser la compression de celui-ci contre ladite semelle 120 et ainsi maximiser l'étanchéité. Cette caractéristique permet d'assurer une continuité dans l'étanchéité à l'eau et à l'air comme il apparaitra ci-après plus en détail.In addition, the sealing bracket 12, on its sole 120, has an extra thickness of a shape corresponding to that of the cross section of said central seal 32, intended to receive the end of the latter in support, to promote the compression of the latter against said sole 120 and thus maximize sealing. This characteristic makes it possible to ensure continuity in the watertightness and the airtightness, as will appear below in more detail.

L'équerre d'étanchéité 12 comporte également une paroi médiane 123 s'étendant vers le haut depuis la semelle 120, conçue de sorte à être agencée dans le prolongement de la paroi interne 223 du profilé distal 22 lorsque l'équerre d'étanchéité 12 est liée à l'équerre rigide 11 et que lesdites équerres sont liées au profilé de seuil 20.The sealing bracket 12 also comprises a median wall 123 extending upwards from the sole 120, designed so as to be arranged in the extension of the internal wall 223 of the distal profile 22 when the sealing bracket 12 is linked to the rigid bracket 11 and that said brackets are linked to the threshold profile 20.

La paroi médiane 123 s'étend depuis un bord de la semelle 120 de l'équerre d'étanchéité 12 jusqu'à une branche 122 s'étendant également vers le haut depuis un bord opposé de ladite semelle 120, de sorte à diviser ladite semelle 120 en deux parties dont une première partie est destinée à coopérer avec l'équerre rigide 11 et dont une seconde partie est destinée à coopérer avec le bouchon d'étanchéité 13.The median wall 123 extends from an edge of the sole 120 of the sealing bracket 12 to a branch 122 also extending upwards from an opposite edge of said sole 120, so as to divide said sole 120 in two parts, a first part of which is intended to cooperate with the rigid bracket 11 and a second part of which is intended to cooperate with the sealing plug 13.

Comme le montre la figure 1, la paroi médiane 123 constitue en partie le profil de coopération décrit plus haut, dans le sens où, par une portion de sa surface, ici une portion concave, elle est destinée à venir en appui contre le joint central 32.As shown in figure 1 , the median wall 123 partly constitutes the cooperation profile described above, in the sense that, by a portion of its surface, here a concave portion, it is intended to bear against the central joint 32.

La branche 122 de l'équerre d'étanchéité 12 est destinée à se loger dans une rainure du montant de dormant 30 adjacente à la rainure longitudinale 33, et présente une section droite de forme carré et s'étend jusqu'à une extrémité libre.The branch 122 of the sealing bracket 12 is intended to be housed in a groove of the frame upright 30 adjacent to the longitudinal groove 33, and has a square-shaped cross section and extends to a free end.

Comme le montre la figure 1, la branche 122 constitue en partie le profil de coopération décrit plus haut, dans le sens où, par une portion de ses faces, elle est destinée à venir en appui contre le joint central 32.As shown in figure 1 , the branch 122 partly constitutes the cooperation profile described above, in the sense that, by a portion of its faces, it is intended to bear against the central joint 32.

Une portion de la périphérie de la surépaisseur de la semelle de l'équerre d'étanchéité 12 est donc délimitée, dans le mode préféré de réalisation visible notamment sur la figure 1, par la paroi médiane 123 et par la branche 122 de l'équerre d'étanchéité 12.A portion of the periphery of the extra thickness of the sole of the sealing bracket 12 is therefore delimited, in the preferred embodiment visible in particular on the figure 1 , by the middle wall 123 and by the branch 122 of the sealing bracket 12.

Le bouchon d'étanchéité 13 comporte une rainure 130 orientée vers le haut et destinée à prolonger la troisième rainure 220 du profilé de seuil 20 lorsque le bouchon d'étanchéité 13 recouvre l'équerre d'étanchéité 12, que celle-ci est liée à l'équerre rigide 11 et que lesdites équerres sont liées au profilé de seuil 20. Plus précisément, la rainure 130 du bouchon d'étanchéité 13 comporte également deux parois latérales reliées entre elles par une paroi de fond, et est conçue de sorte à recouvrir par lesdites parois, une portion de la paroi de fond 221 et des parois interne 223 et externe 222 de la troisième rainure 220 du profilé de seuil 20.The sealing plug 13 has a groove 130 facing upwards and intended to extend the third groove 220 of the sill profile 20 when the sealing plug 13 covers the sealing bracket 12, that the latter is connected to the rigid bracket 11 and that said brackets are linked to the sill profile 20. More specifically, the groove 130 of the sealing cap 13 also comprises two side walls linked together by a bottom wall, and is designed so as to cover by said walls, a portion of the bottom wall 221 and of the inner 223 and outer 222 walls of the third groove 220 of the threshold profile 20.

La paroi de fond de la rainure 130 du bouchon d'étanchéité 13 est destinée à reposer contre la seconde partie de la semelle 120 de l'équerre d'étanchéité 12.The bottom wall of the groove 130 of the sealing plug 13 is intended to rest against the second part of the sole 120 of the sealing bracket 12.

La rainure 130 du bouchon d'étanchéité 13 comporte une paroi d'extrémité 131 s'étendant vers le haut, perpendiculairement aux parois latérales et parois de fond. La paroi d'extrémité 131 est prévue pour être agencée en appui contre la branche 122 de l'équerre d'étanchéité 12. Cette paroi d'extrémité 131 est prolongée par une portion terminale sous la forme d'une lèvre dite « première lèvre » 132, destinée à recouvrir l'extrémité libre de la branche 122 de l'équerre d'étanchéité 12.The groove 130 of the sealing plug 13 has an end wall 131 extending upwards, perpendicular to the side walls and bottom walls. The end wall 131 is provided to be arranged in abutment against the branch 122 of the sealing bracket 12. This end wall 131 is extended by an end portion in the form of a so-called "first lip" lip. 132, intended to cover the free end of branch 122 of sealing bracket 12.

Le bouchon d'étanchéité 13 peut également comporter une autre lèvre, par exemple s'étendant depuis une des parois latérales de sorte à pouvoir recouvrir la paroi médiane 123 de l'équerre d'étanchéité 12.The sealing plug 13 may also include another lip, for example extending from one of the side walls so as to be able to cover the median wall 123 of the sealing bracket 12.

Grâce à ces caractéristiques, le bouchon d'étanchéité 13 s'applique contre la troisième rainure 220 du profilé de seuil 20 et contre l'équerre d'étanchéité 12 en épousant leurs formes respectives, de sorte qu'il permet d'assurer une étanchéité interdisant toute infiltration d'eau vers l'intérieur du bâtiment.Thanks to these characteristics, the sealing plug 13 is applied against the third groove 220 of the threshold profile 20 and against the sealing bracket 12 by matching their respective shapes, so that it makes it possible to ensure a tight seal. preventing any infiltration of water towards the interior of the building.

Avantageusement, chacune des équerre d'étanchéité 12 et équerre rigide 11 comporte des moyens de fixation réversible au profilé de seuil 20 et au montant de dormant 30. Ces moyens de fixation réversible peuvent être formés par des moyens de vissage.Advantageously, each of the sealing bracket 12 and rigid bracket 11 comprises reversible fastening means to the sill section 20 and to the frame upright 30. These reversible fastening means can be formed by screwing means.

Plus précisément, comme le montre la vue éclatée de la figure 1, la languette 111 peut présenter un taraudage de sorte à recevoir une vis engagée par un trou traversant réalisé sur le premier profilé de seuil 20 de sorte à fixer de manière amovible ledit profilé de seuil 20 avec l'équerre rigide 11.More specifically, as shown in the exploded view of the figure 1 , the tab 111 may have a thread so as to receive a screw engaged by a through hole made on the first sill profile 20 so as to removably fix said sill profile 20 with the rigid bracket 11.

En outre, la semelle 120 de l'équerre d'étanchéité 12 peut comprendre, de l'un à l'autre de ses bords, un logement destiné à recevoir une vis prévue pour coopérer par vissage avec un taraudage pratiqué dans le profilé de seuil 20, de sorte à fixer de manière amovible l'équerre d'étanchéité 12 au profilé de seuil 20.In addition, the sole 120 of the sealing bracket 12 may comprise, from one to the other of its edges, a housing intended to receive a screw provided to cooperate by screwing with a thread formed in the threshold profile. 20, so as to detachably fix the sealing bracket 12 to the sill profile 20.

Par ailleurs, les branches 113 et 122 des équerre d'étanchéité 12 et équerre rigide 11 peuvent être configurées pour être fixées par vissage au montant de dormant 30, tel que suggéré par la figure 1.Furthermore, the branches 113 and 122 of the sealing bracket 12 and rigid bracket 11 can be configured to be fixed by screwing to the frame upright 30, as suggested by the figure 1 .

Grâce aux caractéristiques des organes de liaison décrites précédemment, notamment à celles relatives à leurs formes, la présente invention peut s'intégrer dans tout cadre de dormant déjà existant.Thanks to the characteristics of the connecting members described above, in particular those relating to their shapes, the present invention can be integrated into any frame of an already existing fixed frame.

La traverse inférieure 40 de l'ouvrant comporte un profilé de traverse 41 relié à un profilé de parclose 42 par l'intermédiaire d'un profilé porte joint 43 de sorte à enserrer un panneau de vitrage 44, tel que le montre la figure 3.The lower crosspiece 40 of the opening comprises a crosspiece profile 41 connected to a glazing bead profile 42 via a joint door profile 43 so as to enclose a glazing panel 44, as shown in picture 3 .

Un profilé d'habillage 45 est fixé sur le profilé parclose 42, ledit profilé d'habillage 45 portant un joint, par exemple un joint présentant lèvre destinée à venir en appui contre la paroi externe 222 du profilé distal 22 du profilé de seuil 20.A trim profile 45 is fixed to the glazing bead profile 42, said trim profile 45 bearing a seal, for example a seal having a lip intended to bear against the outer wall 222 of the distal profile 22 of the sill profile 20.

Le profilé porte joint 43 comprend une rainure orientée en regard de la paroi interne 223 du profilé distal 22 du profilé de seuil 20, lorsque l'ouvrant est fermé contre le dormant, adaptée à recevoir un joint, par exemple un joint tubulaire creux, de sorte que ce joint soit comprimé contre ladite paroi interne 223.The seal carrier profile 43 comprises a groove oriented opposite the internal wall 223 of the distal profile 22 of the threshold profile 20, when the opening is closed against the frame, adapted to receive a seal, for example a hollow tubular seal, of so that this seal is compressed against said internal wall 223.

Ladite paroi interne 223 étant agencée dans l'alignement du joint central 32 du montant de dormant 30, la continuité de l'étanchéité est assurée lorsque l'ouvrant est fermé contre le dormant entre le joint tubulaire et le joint central 32. Cette caractéristique permet avantageusement à la menuiserie, d'une part, de présenter des propriétés d'isolation thermique et phonique élevée, et d'autre part, d'assurer l'étanchéité à l'eau et à l'air.Said internal wall 223 being arranged in alignment with the central seal 32 of the frame upright 30, the continuity of the seal is ensured when the opening is closed against the frame between the tubular seal and the central seal 32. This feature allows advantageously to the carpentry, on the one hand, to present high thermal and sound insulation properties, and on the other hand, to ensure water and air tightness.

Pour lier le profilé de seuil 20 avec un montant de dormant 30, la mise en oeuvre du dispositif de seuil 10 selon l'invention est réalisée par la succession d'étapes décrites ci-dessous.To link the threshold section 20 with a frame upright 30, the implementation of the threshold device 10 according to the invention is carried out by the succession of steps described below.

Par la suite, l'équerre rigide 11 est liée au profilé de seuil 20. Plus particulièrement, la languette 111 est engagée dans la première rainure 210 du profilé de seuil 20.Subsequently, the rigid bracket 11 is linked to the threshold profile 20. More particularly, the tongue 111 is engaged in the first groove 210 of the threshold profile 20.

Suite à cette étape, l'équerre d'étanchéité 12 est en appuis contre le profilé de seuil 20, la paroi de ladite équerre d'étanchéité 12 étant agencée dans le prolongement de la paroi interne 223 de la troisième rainure 220.Following this step, the sealing bracket 12 bears against the threshold profile 20, the wall of said sealing bracket 12 being arranged in the extension of the internal wall 223 of the third groove 220.

Ensuite, l'équerre rigide 11 et l'équerre d'étanchéité 12 sont rigidement fixées par des moyens de vissage au profilé de seuil 20 et au montant du dormant.Then, the rigid bracket 11 and the sealing bracket 12 are rigidly fixed by screwing means to the threshold profile 20 and to the amount of the frame.

Pour finir, le bouchon d'étanchéité 13 est agencé de sorte à recouvrir au moins en partie l'équerre d'étanchéité 12, notamment par sa première lèvre 132, et la troisième rainure 220 sur une partie de sa longueur.Finally, the sealing plug 13 is arranged so as to at least partially cover the sealing bracket 12, in particular by its first lip 132, and the third groove 220 over part of its length.

Avantageusement, grâce à cette caractéristique, le profilé de seuil 20 est fixé de manière amovible au montant de dormant 30.Advantageously, thanks to this characteristic, the threshold profile 20 is removably fixed to the frame upright 30.

De manière plus générale, il est à noter que les modes de mise en oeuvre et de réalisation de l'invention considérés ci-dessus ont été décrits à titre d'exemples non limitatifs et que d'autres variantes sont par conséquent envisageables.More generally, it should be noted that the embodiments and embodiments of the invention considered above have been described by way of non-limiting examples and that other variants are therefore possible.
