The present invention relates to those, which separate a protected environment from the sun, such as the inside of a room, of an external environment subjected to the sun's rays, and in particular the uprights that constitute fences constituted by profiles usually made of aluminum, a plastic or similar material of those known to have a coefficient of expansion relatively important By "fence" in the context of the This invention is understood as both a closing fence of a bay proper, as a swinging and / or sleeping sliding frame according to the terminology of the experts in the field.

In traditional upright solutions currently known, a profile that constitutes an amount for the part called "swing" of a window, glass door or analog device consists of two semi-profiles connected by two insulated strips. Under the effect of a important temperature difference between the interior and the exterior, that is, between one part and another of the closure, and in particular insolation, the outer half profile expands quite a bit more than the inner half profile and, as the two elements fit together by means of the strips set, the semi-profiles are arched at along its length The arcing of said semi-profiles causes various inconveniences of which the most annoying is that it prevents the closing of the window.

In order to solve this problem, they have carried out embodiments such as those described in the documents FR-A-2 861 764, 2 862 695 and 2 863 299.

While these solutions provide some good results, more particularly in its implementation end up in a specific profile with thermal break of bridge intended to answer the problem of differential dilation through a solution that is available inside the own profile and along it.

Also, the present invention has as main objective to solve this problem and provide a upright for closing fence, in particular for door, window, glass door or similar device, which presents the advantages of the amounts described in the documents cited above, at at the same time that it proposes a global solution that includes a Very simple and therefore economic structure.

?

one of the first or second means of union presents a certain degree of freedom so refers to the translation by following said first direction determined and substantially crashes when following a second address substantially perpendicular to the first direction determined.

The structure defined above allows obtain a thermal break of the bridge comprising a device to significantly reduce, even eliminate, the effects of the difference in longitudinal expansion between the part exterior of the upright constituted by the protection plate subject to heat stroke and the inside of the amount constituted by the crossbar that is not subject to the same and comprising a means constituted by a part of the protection plate that forms the outer side edge of a groove defined by the H-shaped stud, suitable for protection against solar rays an associated profile, for example a profile complementary intended to be arranged in said slot, preventing the latter is subjected to sunlight and, therefore, to differential dilations between the exterior and interior of the same. By way of example, the amount according to the present invention can comprise a sleeping side post of the sliding fence and the amount of a sliding swing, the two amounts of sliding hinges suitable for contacting each other.

According to an advantageous feature, said reinforcement brace is constituted by a piece substantially U-shaped

According to an advantageous feature:

?

the second means of union between the reinforcement strap and the protection plate they have a a certain degree of freedom with regard to the transfer to follow said first determined direction and substantially block by following a second direction substantially perpendicular to the first direction determined, and

?

the second means of union they consist of sliding means that slide following said first determined direction.

It is preferred that the union presenting a certain degree of freedom as far as translation is realized between the shield and the reinforcing tie so as to obtain a maximum efficiency of the amount according to the present invention with regarding the effects of differential dilatation.

According to an advantageous feature, the means Sliding consists of two elements complementary fit to fit each other sliding following said first determined address.

According to an advantageous feature, the means Sliding consists of two elements Hermaphrodite supplements.

According to an advantageous feature, the amount according to the present invention comprises means for applying a elastic force between said two sliding elements that follows a third direction substantially perpendicular to the First and second addresses.

This characteristic allows reaching mounting devices.

According to an advantageous feature, when the U-shaped part base defines the second side of the tie rod reinforcement, the reinforcement strap comprises at least one wall displaced from said base, said wall bordering the displaced part of the protection plate that defines the side edge of one of the slots

According to an advantageous feature, said reinforcing tie further comprises a joining membrane that link the two side walls of the U-shaped piece, said joining membrane having at least one fold for Provide elastic deformation.

This feature makes it easy to facilitate coupling assembly of the reinforcement tie rod with the crossbar and / or decrease the accuracy of certain coupling dimensions of said elements and, therefore, the factory cost.

This feature proposes a global solution. to the problem of differential expansion by an upright which comprises two associated elements.

According to an advantageous feature, said profile Complementary consists of an insulating material.

The protection plate protects the profile complementary to the sun's rays until it is available in the H-shaped stud slot, and also hides said profile complementary to the exterior view. Consequently, said complementary profile can be advantageously performed only of an insulating material in order to guarantee a function of thermal insulation of the profile with respect to the external environment, regardless of aesthetic limitations since it is invisible from the outside when it is inside the slot. The plate protection ensures that the complementary profile performs the protective paper with respect to UV rays. Plate protection prevents the complementary profile from being seen subjected to differential dilation and its consequences; of this mode, the complementary profile must mainly guarantee the thermal insulator function and naturally resistance mechanics.

According to an alternative to the characteristic above, said complementary profile is constituted by a insulating material associated with a metallic material, disposing said metallic material on the inner side of the closure and said insulating material being disposed on the outer side of the closing.

This characteristic allows to propose a certain interior aesthetics of the metal profile, at the same time as Provides good thermal insulation. The insulating material and the metallic material constituting the complementary profile can be rigidly mounted by coupling, for example, because said complementary profile does not undergo dilation differential between its outer part and its inner part when is in position within the amount according to the present invention.

Other advantages and features of this invention will be more clearly revealed by the following description referring to the attached drawings, provided by way of illustration but not limitation in that:

Figure 1 represents a scheme of the principle of the amount according to the present invention,

Figure 2 represents a first example of industrial embodiment of the amount according to the present invention according to the representation according to figure 1, and

Figure 3 represents a second example of industrial embodiment of the amount according to the present invention, also in accordance with the representation according to the Figure 1.

First of all it should be noted that, in the figures, the same references indicate the same elements, whatever figure they appear in and whatever be the form of representation of these elements. Likewise yes no specific reference is made to elements in one of the figures, their references can be easily found by observing other figure

It should also be noted that the figures, and more particularly figures 2 and 3, essentially represent two embodiments of the object according to the present invention, but that there may be other embodiments that respond to the definition of the present invention.

It should also be indicated that, according to the definition of the present invention, when the object of the present invention it comprises "at least one" element that performs a function determined, the described embodiment may comprise a plurality of said elements. Correspondingly, if the form of embodiment of the object according to the present invention such as the illustrated comprises a plurality of elements with a function identical and, if the description does not specify that the object according to the present invention, it must necessarily comprise a particular number of said elements, the object of this invention could be defined as comprising "at least one "of said elements.

Finally it should be noted that in the present description, when an expression defines itself, without a specific particular mention referred to it, a set of structural characteristics, these characteristics can be consider as the definition of the object whose protection is request, when it is technically possible, either by separate, either in total and / or partial combination.

Referring more particularly to the Figure 1, the amount according to the present invention may constitute one side of a closing fence for door, window, door stained glass window or similar device.

Said amount comprises a crossbar 1 that it has a longitudinal axis 2 substantially parallel to a first determined address 3, a protection plate 4 defined by an elongated body whose width 5 is of a relatively value reduced and clearly shorter than length 6, a brace of reinforcement 7, first means 8 for joining a first side 9 of the tie to said cross member 1, and a few second means 10 to join a second side 11 of the strap opposite the first 9 and the plate protection 4.

Said first and second joining means 8, 10 They are arranged with crossbar 1 and protection plate 4 respectively such that the length 6 of said plate of protection 4 is substantially parallel to the longitudinal axis 2 of the crossbar 1 and that, when they are joined, the three elements "crossbar, reinforcement strap and protection plate" they constitute a substantially H-shaped set that defines two opposite slots 12, 13 whose bottoms 14, 15 are defined by the reinforcement strap 7 and the inner side edges by two parts of crossbar 1 and protection plate 4 respectively.

According to a preferred feature of the present invention, the second joining means 10 between the tie rod reinforcement 7 and protection plate 4 have a certain degree of freedom as regards the first determined address 3 and substantially block by following a second direction 23 substantially perpendicular to the first direction determined 3.

It is logical to assume that the amount according to the The present invention is arranged such that the protection plate 4 is located in the outside environment. It is, therefore, fit to receive solar rays and susceptible to dilate.

Due to its structure, in particular the fact that the protection plate 4 has a considerable length which can reach, for example, three meters and a width relatively small, for example, approximately four to fifteen centimeters, the linear dilation of said plate of protection will occur essentially in its length, being able to neglect the expansion in its width, if it exists, and compensating widely through the inescapable mechanical devices that they exist, in particular in the sliding guides such as those will be described later herein in a form of preferred embodiment of the second connection means 10 defined previously.

Under such conditions, when the plate protection receives the sun's rays, it will act as a screen thermal and will prevent these rays from hitting the reinforcement and crossbar. Said protection plate 4, therefore, It will heat up and expand substantially in length.

But, as regards its assembly, the linear expansion of the protection plate 4 that follows its length 6 parallel to the first direction 3 will be easily absorbed by their joining means 10 with the reinforcement tie 7, which are suitable to move following said first direction 3. The dilation of the protection plate 4 does not exert, therefore, on the reinforcement, any strain effort. Also, because the reinforcement brace is protected from lightning, not you will experience significant warming and will not warp significantly, avoiding the inconvenience mentioned in the Preamble to this description.

In this way, the protection plate 4 can be make with a material that has a coefficient of expansion elevated and thus constitute a good radiator to eliminate Calories you will have captured under the effect of the sun's rays.

The structure of the amount according to the present invention described above results in preventing the thermal arcing of the profiles, but substantially not only of the amounts of the sliding hinges or similar, due to a differential expansion between the inside of the upright and the exterior part of the amount subjected to a difference of sometimes considerable temperature, particularly during insolation.

It should be indicated that an amount according to the present invention preferably constitutes a vertical upright of a sliding leaf, which in particular comprises means of closing or similar devices, but which can also constitute any other amount, even of a sleeper, both If it's vertical like no.

Figure 2 represents an embodiment industrial upright according to the scheme in figure 1.

According to said embodiment, the tie rod of reinforcement 7 is constituted, in order to obtain a better rigidity of the total amount, for a substantially shaped piece of U or an analog device.

According to a preferred embodiment, the second joining means 10 defined above are constituted by sliding means 30 which slide along said first determined direction 3. Said sliding means 30 are advantageously constituted by two complementary elements suitable to fit between yes sliding in the first determined direction and, so that a good cooperation occurs between the two elements in order to avoid vibrations as much as possible and minimize the mechanical play between them, it is preferred that the sliding means 30 consist of two complementary elements hermafro-
ditas

A sliding guide of this type results well known by subject matter experts. Therefore, I don't know will describe more fully herein for the sake of simplicity of the present description. It will simply indicate that, in spite of the numerous possibilities of embodiments, it will perform advantageously as illustrated in figure 2.

In the same objective mentioned above to reduce vibrations or the like due to the game unavoidable mechanic that occurs in a sliding guide of this type 30, it is advantageous that the amount comprises other ones means 50 which are schematically illustrated in Figure 1, intended to apply an elastic force between the two elements of sliding following a third direction substantially perpendicular to the first and second directions 3, 23.

As shown in Figure 2, said elastic means 50 are constituted by a pair of tabs opposite 51, 52, which perform a spring effect and which are performed advantageously in one piece with one of the two elements of the sliding guide

In addition, according to the illustrated embodiment in Figure 2, when the base 60 of the U-shaped part defines the second side 11 of the reinforcing tie 7, the reinforcing tie 7 further comprises at least one displaced wall 61, which is extends at least partially, and advantageously in its whole, in the part of the protection plate 4 that defines the side edge of a 12 of the slots and separates the inside of said slot and the sliding element associated with the plate protection.

As Figure 2 illustrates, said wall displaced 61 can be integrated to form a single piece with the another sliding element that is associated with the second side 11 of the reinforcement tie 7.

The first means 8 to join a first side 9 of the reinforcement tie 7 and the cross member 1 are constituted preferably by coupling means.

In order to facilitate coupling 8 between the first side 9 of the reinforcing tie 7 and the cross member 1, it is preferred that, when it is constituted by a piece in the form of U, the reinforcing tie 7 further comprises at least one junction membrane 40 which correspondingly links the two walls sides 41, 42 of the U-shaped piece, presenting said joining membrane 40 at least one fold 43 to provide advantageously an elastic deformation, which allows both side walls 41, 42 of the U-shaped piece sticking perfectly against a wall with the necessary holes in the crossbar 1 for coupling 8.

It should be noted that it is advantageous to have retaining means at the two ends of the means of sliding to prevent the protection plate from separating from the reinforcement strap 7 and that, when in position vertical, do not fall to the ground.

Preferably, the reinforcing tie 7 is profiled by an insulating material.

To obtain a good stiffness of the amount, further prefers that the cross member 1 has a tubular shape cylindrical, as illustrated in figure 2.

In a manner known per se, slot 12 limited by the displaced wall 61 constitutes the necessary renewal to mount a stained glass window 18 by means of a gasket 19, resting the stained glass on the displaced wall 61 by the joint 19, which prevents it from coming into contact with the sliding element associated to the protection plate.

As regards slot 13, it is suitable to accommodate a complementary amount 100 to which it is associated, by for example, a window 20 mounted by a gasket 21, said complementary amount 100 being arranged such that, when it is inserted in slot 13, it does not come into contact with the part of the protection plate 4 that borders said slot 13.

Said complementary amount 100 may be the of another sliding device or that of a sleeper. It will be found, also protected from sunlight by the protection plate 4 and hidden from outside vision by the latter, and will not experience deformation due to significant thermal expansion. Such as shown in figure 2, the complementary profile 100 is constituted of a single material, an advantageously insulating material in order to provide a thermal insulation function to said profile, for example in a known way, a polyamide, preferably with many fibers, particularly fibers of glass, or even a PVC in the precise case of a constituted profile completely insulating material.

The reinforcing tie 7 and the upright complementary 100 are performed in such a way that they do not experience deformation by thermal expansion, the closing means being able (not shown) integrated respectively in said last two Elements cooperate perfectly.

The example in Figure 3 differs from the example of figure 2 only as regards the profile complementary 100 which is substituted in the example of figure 3 by a complementary profile 200, which can be adopted in particular by same outer cross section but which is constituted by two different materials, as shown in figure 3:

?

an inner profile 201 of metallic material,

?

an outer profile 202 of insulating material, advantageously set in the inner profile 201. The insulating material of the outer profile 202 will be preferably a polyamide with many fibers, in particular glass fibers

Profiles 201 and 202 can adopt all appropriate forms according to needs and, as represents in figure 3, the part of the outer profile 202 set in the inner profile 201 can be done in a way similar to the part of the reinforcing tie 7 described above, set on cross member 1, that is to say comprising a membrane of junction 40 having at least one fold 43.
