Description

The invention relates to a device for fixing a frame of window and/or door type joinery to be fixed in an opening of a building, in particular during renovation. It also relates to the use of this device in a process for installing joinery.

Window and/or door type joinery usually includes a frame which forms the fixed frame framing the leaf or leaves of the window or door. The frame is fixed to a wall, that is to say to the masonry part delimiting the panel around an opening made in the thickness of said wall and intended to receive the joinery. The frame is fixed by fixing devices arranged around the perimeter of the panel framing the opening, which conventionally have the shape of a two-branched square, one of the branches being fixed to the masonry and the other branch receiving the frame by fixing, each fixing being carried out by means of a fixing screw passing through a fixing hole which it contains. The fixing wall, particularly when it is an exterior wall forming part of the structural work of a building, is covered with at least one layer of thermal insulation (and where appropriate also sound insulation) or partition wall. brick, this layer itself being covered with a facing.

During a renovation with removal of the old joinery, particularly in total removal, that is to say when not only the joinery to be replaced is removed but also its frame in order to replace it with a new frame, it is necessary to take into account the presence of the layer of insulation and the facing remaining on the wall to install the new joinery. In this case, it is not possible to carry out the installation of the joinery with square legs as in the new one because it is impossible to access the fixing member or square at the rear of the frame. It is necessary to insert one branch of the fixing bracket between the structural work and the insulation to be fixed to the wall, then the frame is fixed to the other branch of the bracket. This consumes labor time because it is necessary to carry out a lot of additional work to redo the facing, and adjustments for good quality installation of the frame and compliance with the rules of the art.

The regulations relating to the installation of joinery and/or the thermal insulation of buildings impose fixing constraints to be respected. These constraints concern in particular the anchoring point of the fixing device to the masonry in order to ensure the solidity of the fixing to the wall, this anchor point must respect a minimum distance from the panel surrounding the receiving opening of the joinery, or in other words the distance between the anchor point of the device and the edge of the receiving wall of the frame, distance that we will call in the rest of the description the anchoring depth of the fixing device. These constraints also concern a minimum thickness of caulking required for the implementation of the seals. However, this rating is poorly respected, particularly during a renovation.

The patent application FR3108650 discloses a device for fixing a window and/or door type joinery frame capable of fixing said frame to an anchoring face of a wall around a panel intended to receive the joinery, said device comprising at least two fixing elements that can be secured together. One of said two elements is an adjustable fixing bracket, receiving the frame, and the other element is an adjustment fixing tab having a generally elongated shape whose longitudinal direction defines the longitudinal direction of the device, configured suitable for fixing to the anchoring face of the wall, and which comprises adjustment means at least in said longitudinal direction. Said two fixing elements comprise holding means and longitudinal adjustment means between said two fixing elements to form said fixing device by joining together in an adjustable manner in the longitudinal direction of said fixing tab. The longitudinal adjustment means included in the fixing bracket comprise at least one longitudinal strip carrying marks to aid in the longitudinal adjustment of said fixing bracket. Said strip can be extended longitudinally by a longitudinal breakable end portion ending in a stop for adjusting the anchoring depth.

Such a device is suitable in most cases, whether in the case of the installation of joinery during a so-called total removal renovation or a new installation. However, when the profiles constituting the frame are equipped with a support fin, the assembly, in particular the adjustment between the two fixing elements can be hampered by this support fin, it is then necessary to place a shim between the device fixing and the location of the device receiving profile.

An aim of the invention is to propose a device for fixing the frame of a joinery capable of operating with any frame profile, therefore in particular to resolve the problem encountered with profiles comprising a support fin. Another aim of the invention is to propose a device for fixing the frame of a joinery suitable to meet the recommendations for installing joinery.

For this purpose, the invention proposes a device for fixing a carpentry frame of the window and/or door type capable of fixing said frame to an anchoring face (M0) of a wall around a table intended for receive the joinery, said device comprising at least two fixing elements which can be secured together, one of said two elements being a fixing bracket, receiving the frame, and the other element being a fixing sole having a generally elongated shape whose longitudinal direction defines the longitudinal direction of the device, configured capable of being fixed to the anchoring face of the wall. Said two fixing elements each comprise holding means cooperating with each other to secure the two elements together. Said fixing bracket comprises a first branch and a second branch extending in different planes, said first branch receiving the frame, and said second branch extending in the longitudinal direction of said device and comprising said holding means capable of cooperating with said holding means which comprises said fixing sole. Said holding means which comprises said fixing sole and/or said second branch of the bracket are configured to occupy an adjustment position and a holding position. Said device comprises a member for operating said holding means configured to move said holding means from one position to another, said bracket being movable in translation relative to said sole in said longitudinal direction when said holding means are in position. adjustment position.

The orientations expressed in the description of the figures are given with reference to an XYZ trihedron in which Z the direction perpendicular to said longitudinal and transverse directions of the device, substantially oriented according to the height of the device. The XY plane defines the longitudinal plane of the device, and the ZY plane defines the plane perpendicular to said longitudinal plane of the device.

To facilitate understanding of the drawings, the notion of lower and the notion of upper are defined according to the Z direction, oriented from the bottom to the top of the figure 1 , in other words from the lower to the higher.

The longitudinal direction of the device is defined by the longitudinal direction of the fixing sole, this direction being furthermore substantially parallel to the anchoring face of the part of the wall to which the fixing sole of the fixing device is fixed.

By substantially parallel or perpendicular, we mean a direction/an angle deviating by at most 30 degrees, or even by at most 20 degrees or at most 10 degrees from a respectively parallel or perpendicular direction.

Identical references can be used from one figure to another to designate identical or similar elements.

THE figures 1 to 12B will be described together, the Figures 10 to 12B illustrating in more detail the operation of the fixing device according to the invention for a particular embodiment.

The fixing device comprises two separate fixing elements which are secured together: a fixing sole 1 and a fixing bracket 2 with two branches 21, 22. It further comprises an operating member 3.

Said bracket 2 comprises a first fixing branch 22 extending along the height of the bracket (direction Z) and a second branch 21 extending in the longitudinal direction X of the device, said branches thus being arranged substantially perpendicular to each other. Said first fixing branch 22 comprises a set of fixing cells 23, distributed over the extent of said branch 22, facilitating the use of complementary fixing means, to enable the frame to be fixed using said complementary means. fixing such as one or more screws.

The fixing sole 1 comprises an upper face 100 and a lower face 101, between which is located a recess in which its holding elements 6 are located capable of cooperating with the holding elements 7 of the bracket to secure the two elements of fixing 1, 2 between them ( Fig. 12A, Fig. 12B ). The holding elements 7 of the bracket 2 are located in the lower part 210 of the branch 21 of the bracket which rests on the fixing sole 1.

The respective holding elements 6, 7 of the sole and the bracket are respectively complementary notched elements, which can fit together in order to secure the sole and the bracket.

According to the example, the holding elements 6 of the sole 1 consist of two distinct notched elements 61, 62, movable vertically due to their flexibility. In other words, they are mobile more or less perpendicular to the plane of the sole.

According to the example, the holding elements 6, 61, 62 of the fixing sole 1 are maneuverable by the operating member 3, while the holding elements 7 of the bracket 2 are fixed, they are not maneuverable by the operating member 3 ( Figures 12A and 12B ).

The operating member 3 comprises two lateral actuating rods 31, 32 which comprise, at their respective free ends, a slide 311, 321 with a ramp 3110, 3210 making it possible to actuate the holding elements in the adjustment position or in holding position.

When the operating member 3 is inserted by threading (arrow F1) each of its lateral rods 31, 32 following the lateral guide grooves 11, 12 (in the lower part) of the fixing sole 1 ( Fig. 10, 11A ), the holding elements 61, 62 which each include lateral edges 611, 612, 621, 622, are taken by the ramps 3110, 3210 at these edges. Gradually, the ramps pull (arrow A) respectively said holding elements 61, 62 downwards, so that the notches 610, 620 no longer protrude from the upper face 100 of the sole 1 ( Fig. 11B ). Said holding elements 61, 62 are retracted into the recess of the sole, they are placed in the adjustment position, in other words in an inactive position to assemble them with the holding elements 7 of the bracket, but allowing adjustment longitudinally ( Fig. 12A , arrow F2, F4) the position of the bracket 2 which is placed on the upper face of the sole 1, in particular when screwing the frame to the bracket 2 as will be explained later.

When the operating member 3 is removed from the sole 1, the holding elements 61, 62 are released and pushed towards the upper face 100 of the sole 1 ( Fig. 12B , arrow B), they pass into the holding position, in other words in the active position to secure the two fixing elements 1, 2. The notches 610, 620 are accessible to fit with the notches 700 of the holding elements 7 of the bracket and thus allow the bracket to be secured to the fixing sole.

The operating member 3 further comprises a handle 30 facilitating its grip and constituting a locating means capable of locating the location of the bracket 2 when fixing the frame.

Furthermore, the operating member 3 comprises a stop 33 whose interior face 330 ( Fig. 1 ) allows you to adjust the anchoring depth when fixing the fixing sole to a required depth as explained in detail later with reference to the Fig. 3A and to the Fig. 3C . This stop 33 is carried by the handle 30.

In addition, the operating member 3 comprises a part 300 of controlled thickness "e" in order to ensure the required thickness of caulking, as explained in detail later with reference to the Fig. 4 .

• des tiges d'actionnement latérales 31', 32', munies respectivement d'une glissière avec rampe 311', 321',
• une poignée 30' portant une butée 33', et
• une partie d'épaisseur contrôlée 300'. Par rapport à l'organe précédent 3, les tiges latérales d'actionnement 31', 32' partent plus près de la poignée 30' et la barre de jonction à la racine des tiges a été supprimée. Cet organe 3' est plus facilement empilable que l'organe précédent 3 et plus facile à retirer de la semelle.

There Figure 13 illustrates another particular embodiment of an operating member 3' meeting the same characteristics as those of the member 3 which has just been described:

• lateral actuating rods 31', 32', respectively provided with a slide with ramp 311', 321',
• a handle 30' carrying a stop 33', and
• a part of controlled thickness 300'. Compared to the previous member 3, the lateral actuating rods 31', 32' start closer to the handle 30' and the joining bar at the root of the rods has been removed. This member 3' is more easily stackable than the previous member 3 and easier to remove from the sole.

THE Figures 3A to 8 illustrate the method of fixing a frame D using the device illustrated in Fig. 1 And 10 to 12B .

In the method of fixing the frame D illustrated according to a particular embodiment of the invention, we insert (arrow F1 on Fig. 2 ) the operating member 3 in the fixing sole 1, so that the holding elements 6, 61, 62 are in the adjustment position, that is to say retracted into the sole 1, as has been explained in more detail in comments Figures 10 to 12B .

We first fix the fixing sole 1, provided with the operating member 3 of the holding elements, to the masonry ( Fig. 3A and Fig. 3B ). We use the fixing sole 1 with its holding elements 6, 61, 62 in the adjustment position, in other words retracted, by positioning it on the anchoring face M0 of the wall, which according to the non-limiting example is covered with a layer of insulation “I” (shown on [ Fig. 8 ]), and a facing (not shown in the figures).

In reference to the Fig. 3A , the lower face 101 of said fixing sole 1 provided with the operating member 3, is arranged on the anchoring face of the wall M0, placing the interior face 330 of the stop 33, located on the handle 30 of the operating member 3, so that said face 330 bears against the adjacent face M1 of the table, and so that the center of the outlet orifice of the fixing hole 10 is on the anchoring face M0 at a given anchoring depth “d” (as shown in [ Fig. 3C ]). More particularly, the anchoring depth can be defined as the distance between the fixing hole of the fixing sole and the interior face of the stop, in other words as being substantially the longitudinal distance from the center of the outlet orifice of said hole fixing opening on the anchoring face of the wall, or the projection of this point on a straight line in a longitudinal direction passing through the stop, to the center of the interior face of said stop. By “outlet orifice” is meant the orifice of said fixing hole of the fixing plate, which is a through hole, which is located on the anchoring face side of the wall when the fixing plate is in place, resting on the M0 anchoring face of the wall.

We mark the location into which the center of the outlet of the fixing hole of said sole opens by making a marking on said anchoring face M0 of the wall M, for example using a pointed tool T , by passing this tool through the fixing hole 10 of said sole ( Fig. 3A ). Then we remove the sole 10 and we drill an anchoring hole at the location of the mark in the masonry. Alternatively, you can drill directly, for example by passing the drill bit of a drill through said fixing hole 10 of the sole remaining in place. Said fixing sole 1 is fixed on said anchoring face M0 of the wall, for example by doweling then screwing a fixing screw V1 into the masonry, the dowel and the screw passing both into said fixing hole 10 of said sole. and in the anchoring hole of the masonry ( Fig. 3B ).

With reference to Fig. 4 , we then install the fixing bracket 2 by fitting the lower face 210 of the second branch 21 of the bracket onto the upper part 100 of the sole, and sliding it according to a longitudinal translation (arrow F2) guided by the sole 1, the holding elements 61, 62 of said sole being always held in the adjustment position (retracted in the sole) by the operating member 3, so that they cannot cooperate with those of the square at this stage of the process, which allows the adjustment of the position of the square for the rest of the process.

With reference to Fig. 5 , the sealing gasket (bottom gasket J1) is positioned in contact on the part 300 of controlled thickness “e” of the operating member 3 in order to ensure the thickness of sealing required for housing the gasket sealing (bottom seal J1).

With reference to Fig. 6A , the profile of the frame D shown in longitudinal section, is positioned (arrow F3) to the right of the masonry panel and in contact with the caulking (joint base J1), which has just been installed, and opposite branch 22 of the frame receiving bracket. The profile includes a support fin D1 which is located at the level of the clearance 20 of the bracket.

With reference to the Fig. 6B to Fig. 6D , the profile is then fixed by its interior rebate to said first branch 22 of the bracket 2, using at least one screw V2, for example a self-drilling screw with a clipping groove, by introducing said screw V2 in a hole provided on the profile of the frame to screw it into one of the cells 23 for fixing said branch 22. The location of said first branch 22 of the bracket for inserting the screw, said branch being hidden by the profile , is marked to the right of the handle 30 of the operating member 33 which remains visible, and along the fictitious reference line R ( Fig. 6B ). When screwing, bracket 2 is translated under the screwing force (arrows V and F4 in Fig. 6C ) by its branch 22 of the receiving bracket of the frame, while being guided in longitudinal translation by its second branch 21 and following the sole 1, until the first branch 22 of the bracket 2 touches the profile of the frame , the support fin D1 being housed in the clearance 20 of the bracket 2 and at the front of the sole 1 ( Fig. 6D ). This fixing configuration allows solid fixing of the frame to the bracket.

Then, with reference to Fig. 7 , the operating member 3 is removed (arrow F5) from the sole 1 in order to release the holding elements 61, 62 of the sole held in the adjustment position, and to activate them in the holding position, so that they can cooperate with the holding elements 7 of the second branch 21 of the bracket which face them. The respective holding elements of the bracket 7 and the sole 61, 62 will be able to fit into each other to achieve the joining of the bracket 2 to the fixing base 1 fixed in the masonry.

We then obtain, as shown in Fig. 8 for this example, a frame D fixed to a wall covered with a layer of insulation “I”, the bracket 2 being supported against the frame and secured to the fixing sole 1. A seal J2 finalizes the caulking. The support wing D1 of the frame D does not hinder the fixing of the frame to the bracket, and does not require the use of suitable shims. In addition, the installation recommendations (anchoring depth, thickness of caulking) are respected.

In practice, a plurality of devices distributed around the panel are used to fix the frame.

The notions of “lower” and “higher” are used in describing the drawings as indicated above to facilitate understanding. The so-called lower face of the sole is the face coming into contact with the anchoring face of the wall, and the so-called upper face is the opposite face, which comes into contact with said second branch 21 of the bracket 2.

According to a variant of the invention represented in figures 14 and 15 , the fixing bracket 2 is provided with a reinforcing element 4 forcefully fixed, reversibly, between the two branches 21, 22 of the bracket. This reinforcing element 4 comprises a first part 42 secured to the first branch 22, and which is equipped with projecting lateral clipping means 420, which are fixed by force inside the lateral edges of said first branch 22, receiving of the sleeper. This reinforcing element 4 also comprises a second part 41 secured to the second branch 21 and which comprises a lug 410 inserting into a notch 211 of said second branch 21.

Said reinforcing element 4 comprises perforated portions 401, 402, 403, 404 which come opposite the fixing cells 23 of the first branch 22. Said perforated parts are separated by partitions which extend substantially perpendicular to the direction of the second branch 22, and between two side walls 43, 44 which comprise said reinforcing element.

This reinforcing element 4 is fixed on the bracket 2 to stiffen it between its two branches when reinforced assembly is necessary.

The invention has the advantage of providing a device for fixing a frame whose operating member is recoverable, to be reusable with another assembly of fixing bracket and fixing sole, and where appropriate including a reinforcing element . On a joinery installation site, it is not necessary to have as many operating devices as fixing bracket and fixing base assemblies and, if necessary, including a reinforcing element. For example, we can provide a separate set of operating devices for an entire site.

The invention also has the advantage of being able to provide a device comprising a fixing bracket and a fixing sole which can be secured together, having a clearance, thus being able to adapt to the fixing of any frame profile, with or without a wing. support, and the fixing being robust. If necessary, a reinforcing element is added.

The invention can thus be applied to the installation of carpentry in the case of a renovation involving total removal as well as to the installation of new carpentry.
