As in Figure 1, frame 301 of the frame 316 comprises in an known way an inner profile 328 and an external profile 315 with thermal bridge break fixed to the inner profile 328, as depicted in figure 2.

As shown in Figure 2, the outer frame 326 of peripheral profile 315 of first frame 301 and the outer window 302 are advantageously aligned in the same plane forming the outer surface of the sliding part. Said configuration allows to maintain a desired aesthetic of flatness in the facades, according to the needs. In figure 2, It should be noted that when the frame 305 presents a outer swing on which the sliding part 316 rests when it is closed, more particularly the molding 342 and the peripheral profile 315, where appropriate the fluid passages 320 such as described, through molding 342 and glass 302, allow to ensure an almost continuity of the flatness of the outer surface of the window between the frame swing and The outer glass.

The interior and exterior profiles that constitute The 305 frame, are usually made of metal alloy or plastic materials, separated by bridge break rods thermal, and profiles, interior 328 and exterior 315 that they constitute the sliding part 316, they can be respectively metallic and plastic material, in order to obtain some thermal bridge break profiles for the frame and for the sliding part. The molding 342 can be made of material Metallic or plastic material.

It should be noted that with a device of this type, the ventilation function is independent of bearing frame of the sliding part comprising profile 315 with thermal bridge break and inner profile 328, for example metal, of frame 305 of sealing profile 313 peripheral The ventilation of the air sheet 304 is guaranteed whether the sliding part 316 is in the position of opening as in the closed position on the frame 305.

As shown in Figure 2, a fluid passage 320 advantageously comprises filtering means 333 against dust, which are arranged through the fluid passage 320, preferably located against opening 322, as is represented in Figure 2. Advantageously, filter 333 may be a wire filter, especially of the mechanical filter type known stainless, which allows not only to stop dust, but also and equally insects in order that all these objects do not penetrate the air sheet 304. The filter placed in this way can be replaced if necessary without disassemble the fillings. The main seal of the part Slider is not compromised during this operation of maintenance.

It should be noted that the window according to the Figure 2, may or may not have a tightness (not shown) between the fixing molding 342 of the exterior window 302 and the frame 305 being able to present the latter, appropriately and known, some water evacuation holes if it were necessary, as shown in figure 2. In the figure 2 no sealing between the molding 342 of fixing the exterior window 302 and the frame 305.

The seal 313 also allows ensure the tightness between air sheet 304 and the inner surface of the outer window 302 facing the air sheet 304.

320 fluid passages can be secured advantageously directly through transverse openings made in the thickness of the outdoor glass 302, which they can take the form of notches whose dimensions are determined according to the needs, depending on the volume of the air sheet 304. The outdoor glass 302 is made of glass tempered. The fluid passages 320 are preferably arranged in the lower part of the window leading to the part bottom of the air sheet 304, as shown in the Figure 2. The fluid passages 320 preferably have a opening 322 on the inner face of the outer window 302 which flows into the vertical face of the air sheet, and a opening 321 directed downwards in order to avoid any water penetration in the air sheet: for this purpose, the transverse openings in window 302 may, advantageously, be provided with protective mouths 340 fixed in the openings of the window and allowing to advantageously orient the opening 321 down and also fix inside them the dust and insect filter 333, for example, as described above, as represented in the Figure 2. The fixing of the mouths 340 can be guaranteed, by example, by a clamp. The 320 fluid steps in the outdoor glass 302 can respectively take the form of elongated ports in a certain amount according to needs, with the aim of allowing ventilation of the air sheet

The mouths 340 will be, for example, identified for the same sliding part, in the amount of one for each fluid passage 320. The mouth 340 will preferably be tubular, cylindrical with circular section, or slightly conical, being able to present a stop 350 to the displacement of the side of the air sheet 304 with the aim of blocking the surface interior of the exterior window 302, as is shown in figure 2, and may also have means clamping 351 in the molding 342, also as is represented in figure 2. Advantageously it will remain in position a mouth 340 on the molding 342 in which the molding is inserted into a hole made in it, corresponding to the mouth section 340, in order to achieve a appropriate aesthetics and a certain position of the exit of the mouth 40 to the exterior facade. On the side of the air sheet 304, the mouth 340 will be advantageously maintained by stop 350 which allows to ensure the maintenance of the mouth 340 in the fluid passage 320. The appropriate inclination of the mouth 340 in the vertical plane, defined as a function of the outlet position 321 of the mouth, and of the inlet position 322 of the mouth in the air sheet 304 will be possible by the elongated louver made in the window 302 that allows multiple positions of inclination of the mouth 340 in the vertical plane. The length of a mouth 340 depends on the thickness of the outdoor glass and will preferably be determined in order to be greater than the thickness of the glass 302 increased with the thickness of the molding 342 of Fixing of the latter. Advantageously, the mouths 340 may be placed in each of the fluid passages 320 performed in the glass 302 and molding 342, after assembly of the glass 302 in its frame 326 and the placement of the molding 342. The mouths 340 may be made of plastic material, preferably deformable, so that the stop 350 can arrange of a certain elastic deformation intended to allow crossing beyond the passage of the exterior window 302 and return to the detention position after crossing it. The media of clamping 351 may also work advantageously using the elasticity of the material that constitutes the mouth 340.

As represented in Figure 2, and described above, fluid steps 320 performed in the outer window 302 of the sliding part 316, intercept a edge 341 of the exterior window 302, preferably, the bottom edge of the window of figure 5.

The essential differences between the example according to the present invention represented in figure 2 and the example  of the prior art of Figure 1, they comprise:

-

the absence of a vent or vent of the air sheet 304 running through frame 305, as well as space 325 between the frame 305 and the sliding part 316,

-

the advantageous absence of any passage or ventilation duct of the air sheet 304 that crosses profile 315 with rupture of thermal bridge of frame 301 of sliding part 316,

       \ newpage
    

-

the advantageous presence of a plurality of fluid passages 320 formed in the exterior window 302 of the sliding part 316, according to an essential means of the present invention,

-

the presence of a plurality of fluid passages that cross the molding 342 fixing the exterior window 302 in the outer frame 326 of profile 315 of part frame 301 sliding, in correspondence with the plurality of fluid steps 320 made in the outdoor window 302, as is represented in figure 2, according to an essential means of the present invention.

       \ vskip1.000000 \ baselineskip
    

As shown in Figure 2, the 320 fluid passages for ventilation of air sheet 304, they lead advantageously exactly inside the angle bottom of the sheet, at the bottom level of it, so that a part of the entrance 322 of the protection mouth 340 which defines the entrance of the fluid passage 320, is aligned with the bottom surface of sheet 304. The fluid passages 320 have,  advantageously, a downward tilt provided by a inclination of each mouth 340 which is easy due to the shape of elongated vertical opening louver crossing the window 302 and which ends at the edge of it, as it is illustrated in figure 2. Thus, seen from the outside, the  ventilation holes are located as low as possible, being, however, above the amount 305, that is, by on top of frame 305 when the sliding part is in closed position on the frame.

The present invention can be applied to any window, glass door or similar, called rack  with ventilation
