Definitions

  • the present invention relates to an assembly comprising a tool and two profiles, the tool enabling the two profiles to be clamped and temporarily held together.
  • the tool is particularly suitable for holding a tap in position on a joinery frame in order to enable their subsequent fixing by screwing.
  • the invention also relates to a method for assembling two profiles using this tool.
  • a piece of joinery whether it is a window, a door, a French window, conventionally comprises a fixed frame (fixed) and an opening (movable frame) and closes an opening in a wall.
  • cladding profiles are assembled to the profiles of the frame of the joinery.
  • the cladding profiles allow the thickness of the joinery to be increased to adapt to the thickness of the wall insulation.
  • These cladding profiles therefore have different dimensions depending on the thickness of the insulation of the wall to which the joinery is intended.
  • These cladding profiles are commonly, and indifferently, called added tapées, false tapées, or even thickness furrings.
  • the added tapées and the profiles of the frame are made in one piece and form a single unit, called a pre-frame frame.
  • One of the disadvantages of the pre-frame frame is that it is necessary to have as many pre-frame frames as there is wall insulation thickness.
  • the added taps and the frame profiles are separate parts which are assembled together in the workshop, by screwing, before installation on site.
  • the installation tool can be advantageously made of different materials, such as plastic or composite materials, making it light and very handy.
  • the fixing member when the tool is in the unlocking position, the fixing member is arranged so that the first flat rectilinear portion of the first part of the head, with the first flat rectilinear portion of the associated rim, is opposite the fixing element.
  • the fixing member when the tool is in the locking position, the fixing member is arranged so that the second flat rectilinear portion of the first part of the head, with the second flat rectilinear portion of the associated rim, is opposite the fixing element.
  • the first profile is a frame profile and the second profile is an added panel.
  • the installation tool thus allows the added tap and the frame profile to be locked in position, while compressing the longitudinal sealing joint of the added tap, and allowing it to be fixed to the frame profile in an efficient position to guarantee the watertightness of the joinery.
  • the second profile is held on the first profile by a simple rotation, in one direction of rotation, of the second member relative to the first member.
  • the removal of the installation tool is carried out by a simple rotation, in the opposite direction of rotation, of the second member relative to the first member.
  • tool 100 A tool for clamping and holding two profiles in position, according to an exemplary embodiment, is now described and illustrated in the figures 3 to 8 . In the remainder of the description, the tool for clamping and holding two profiles in position will simply be referred to as tool 100.

  • the profile of the frame 500 comprises, as illustrated in the Figure 1 , a longitudinal groove 530.
  • the longitudinal groove 530 preferably extends over the entire length of the frame profile 500.
  • Said longitudinal groove is intended to receive and cooperate with the added tap 600 and thus has a function of guiding and positioning the added tap 600 in the frame profile 500.
  • This longitudinal groove 530 is preferably open towards the first longitudinal flat face 510.
  • the frame profile 500 further comprises a longitudinal bearing surface 540.
  • the longitudinal bearing surface 540 preferably extends over the entire length of the frame profile 500. Said longitudinal bearing surface is intended to form a bearing surface for the tool 100.

  • Said longitudinal bearing surface 540 is preferably arranged opposite the longitudinal groove 530, in other words, that is to say open towards the second longitudinal flat face 520 of the frame profile.
  • the longitudinal support surface 540 is preferably arranged, on the frame profile 500, under the longitudinal groove 530.
  • the added tap 600 is also in the form of a longitudinal profile.
  • the added tap 600 has two opposite longitudinal ends, called first 610 and second 620 longitudinal ends, as illustrated on the Figure 2
  • the two longitudinal ends 610, 620 are connected to each other by a longitudinal edge 630.
  • the longitudinal edge 630 has, between the two longitudinal ends, a width corresponding to a predefined insulation thickness of a wall.
