Description

Mixed window

Object of the invention

The present invention relates to a window mixed, specifically constituted by the combination of wood and stone, where the wood is on the inside and the stone on the Exterior. Instead of wood, aluminum or plastic (PVC or similar).

The object of the invention is to conceive a window that manages to keep an aesthetic harmony between coatings of stone facades with that of windows, acquiring the same homogeneous identity. Likewise, the window of The invention guarantees protection against cold and heat, offering optimum soundproofing, easy maintenance and very durable.

Background of the invention

Conventional windows, are already made of aluminum, wood, a combination of both, or PVC, in many occasions they are equipped with evasive systems and vandal-proof, based primarily on safety fittings and anti-leverage, although with a degree of limitation when offering the desired resistance to intrusion.

On the other hand, any type of window exposed to the outside suffers wear and deterioration, being the Causes of degradation of climatic agents. Such circumstance is aggravated in large cities, due to the pollution, which in short periods of time pollution leaves your footprint without the possibility of restoring the window to its state original.

In addition to aluminum and wood, it also they make windows in PVC, this material that in the short and medium term is impregnates pollution and comes to take undesirable shades, of way that cleaning goes through the application of chemicals, low aggressiveness, so its cleanliness is relative, being impossible any kind of treatment to return it to its state original.

On the other hand, the aggression of the medium sun term eats the color and the tones pale.

We must also take into account the fact that PVC windows are made with a high degree of contamination and toxicity, that is to say the opposite of what ecological.

Traditionally the PVC window market along with the wood is concentrated and used in cold areas and especially in northern countries, where low temperatures make more isolation necessary.

When it comes to aluminum windows, given the high thermal conductivity of this material, and despite the air chambers that are set in the profiles, the transmission of temperature from inside to outside and vice versa is unquestionable, causing points of energy loss.

The aluminum material also presents the Condensation problems, which is transferred to other materials that are together or close to aluminum, reaching the surfaces window interiors very low temperatures in winter (wall cold), causing condensation of the relative humidity of the air in the interior of the room, which in hours becomes threads of drops that slide through the window.

Other agents such as air salinity or in coastal areas, or environmental pollution in large cities, also attack aluminum, easily generating in a Very short time frame corrosion in windows, can cause this the superficial discoloration of the window and even important operating problems

You also have to keep in mind that the material of aluminum, a simple aggression or rubbing of it, means returning to lacquer it, never remaining as originally, since the sun also degrades the colors of the paintings.

In relation to wood, certainly one of the better materials, when said material is exposed in the outside suffers very short term from aggressions weather conditions, its deterioration being visible, and the sanding repair, timely and new treatment painting.

Wood is necessary to keep it healthy, since It is a material with life, so it has movement, which implies that there are slacks and fissures in the window and its around, caused by dilations and contractions.

To keep an exposed woodwork abroad, in good condition, the maintenance cost is high, since it must be done more or less frequently depending the type of wood and the weather conditions.

Description of the invention

The recommended window has been conceived to solve the problem described above, being a mixed window in which the wood / plastic / aluminum, and stone, so that inside the corresponding frame and sheet will participate in the window, and in the outside the corresponding stone conveniently set both to the frame as to the leaf, these may be of swing type, sliding, tilt-and-turn or even fixed, also provided optionally an interior wooden reed to fix the plate glass or crystal to the corresponding sheet.

The description will be made mentioning the wood as interior material of the window, but it could also be aluminum or plastic, (PVC or similar).

The stone, located on the outside, is fixed both the frame and the sheet, with the interposition of a sheet of insulating, also providing between frame and sheet of wood corresponding insulation joints or gaskets to get a maximum isolation The corresponding glass sheet will remain resting on the inner face of the stone corresponding to the sheet, with the interposition of the insulation sheet.

Evidently, both the wood profile of the sheet as the frame must be properly milled to fit to the constitution of the mixed window, that is to be able to receive conveniently the stone, for which it will be necessary to calibrate the distance between sheet and frame, leaving the necessary spaces to the installation of stone, glass and other components that participate in the structure of the window, so that the closure of the sheet with the frame is airtight and acts efficient.

The insulating sheet sandwiched between the stone and frame, and where appropriate the blade, improves the tightness and minimize possible thermal transmissions that could exist between the material exposed to the exterior with that of the interior, as well as possible vibrations caused by wind, sound or impact that the window could suffer, so you get unbeatable results regarding carpentry conventional.

On the other hand, due to the dilations thermal caused by temperature changes and to avoid possible tensions, cracks or breaks between them, the sheet of insulation constitutes a separating element between the wood and the stone, letting each of them behave in a way different.

Although the fixation between wood and stone can be performed by any conventional system, such as the adhesive, however, that fixing will preferably be done two possible ways, one of them based on drilling of precision in the inner face of the stone and insert a plug, when which one threaded a rod, while the other system that in the hole made in the stone is placed a threaded rod directly with epoxy resin.

Subsequently, to the inner face of the stone the insulating sheet is added by specific adhesives.

Then the assembly of some squares whose branches are of different length, so that the branch of shorter length is affected by a hole and the branch of greater affected length of a slot in the longitudinal direction, of so that the squad is fixed by the longest branch, so that by means of a nut and washer, this fixing is carried out by threaded on the rod anchored in the stone, threaded to be will effect until the square is tensioned with the stone, with the interposition of the insulating sheet.

Once assembled both parts with their anchors, the wood is fixed through a screw through the screw provided on the shortest branch of the square, bolting to the wood, so that at more pressure from the screw, the square slides between the wood and the blade insulating, adhered to the stone, by the affected wing of the groove, without any material suffering any damage or tension, until finally both materials are properly fixed, giving as result a very stable structure, strong and compact.

With the structure already formed, the glass plate, until it stops with the bonded insulating sheet to the stone, and once inserted the glass is placed on the side inside a pinned or screwed reed, which presses with the glass and in turn with the stone.

Based on these characteristics, a break or simply a substitution of the stone for another, can be done quite easily, since it is enough to disassemble the squads of the wood and decouple them from the stone, leaving the frame and the uncovered sheet to perform the desired action.

In this embodiment of fixing the stone to the wood, the replacement of the glass plate or glass can be replaced without opening the sheet of the window.

However, the stone can be fixed to the wood on the outside of it, using the same brackets although in this case of alternative realization the referred squads They would be seen outside. Based on this option or alternatively, it is possible to replace the window pane or the stone on the outside, thereby avoiding possible inconvenience or cleaning problems or even when they could produce breakage in the substitution.

The window thus constituted offers a large resistance since the union of stone and wood gives rise to a very resistant structure, withstanding voluntary impacts and involuntary and adversities, superior to those that support conventional windows

Also noteworthy is the fact that at externally present the stone, security before a possible intrusion is far superior to that offered by the media conventional.

Being the stone outside, the agents atmospheric will not leave a trace in the window, since the stone is virtually indestructible and not deteriorable, and in the worst case scenario, a fine sanding will suffice, the application of products, or a pressure jet, to restore status Original stone.

As is evident, wood and stone in combination they form the structure of the window that is ecological, since the stone itself is already ecological.

Based on the use of the stone by the exterior, greater interior insulation is achieved, improving the temperature coefficients, since the thermal transmission decreases markedly.

It is also noteworthy that the stone, being permeable to water vapor, can never be produced the condensation effect as in aluminum windows Traditional

Another feature or advantage of the stone is that it is not affected by the salinity of the air, put It is not a corrosive material.

It is also noteworthy that the maintenance costs, being the exterior of stone, will be minimal or practically null, because it is a non-material deteriorable and not affected by the weather meteorological

Finally say that the stone in case of very high temperatures, it is a material that does not deform against what which occurs with conventional materials, for example aluminum, that causes significant operational problems, so that the use of the stone to be a flame retardant material, in case of Fire does not spread or emit toxic fumes.

Description of the drawings

Preferred Embodiment of the Invention

As you can see in the referred figures, the Window of the invention is mixed, and is constituted by the combination of wood / PVC / aluminum and stone, so that the wood / PVC / aluminum will remain on the inside and the stone on the Exterior.

In the embodiment that is going to describe, the window includes wood on the inside and stone on the Exterior.

In any case, the wood participates constituting the corresponding frame (1) and the respective sheet (2), which is foldable with respect to the frame (1) and on which the plate is mounted of glass or crystal (3) with a wooden jib or weatherstrip (4), as is traditional, so that between frame (1) and sheet (2) include insulation gaskets or gaskets (5) to get a better insulation and sealing in the closure.

Both the frame (1) and the sheet (2) are externally complement with a stone plate (6), with the interposition of an insulating sheet (7) interposed between the internal face of the stone (6) and the wood of the frame (1) or sheet (2).

In this way a mixed window is achieved in the one that the internal part is made of wood and therefore with an aspect aesthetic unbeatable for the interior, while externally it is of stone and offers an aspect that will keep harmony in the case of be a stone facade, and even highlighting and offering an optimal aesthetic appearance on a brick or other facade nature.

Although fixing between the frame wood (1) and of the sheet (2) and the corresponding stone (6) can be made by any appropriate system, such as even with adhesive, however in the preferred embodiment and as shown in figure 2, the joint between the wood that forms the frame and leaf (1 and 2) with respect to the stone (6), is made with the intervention of squads (8) that will be arranged in as many embedded (9 and 9 ') made equidistant in the frame (1) and sheet (2) of the wood, so that in each recess (9) it is housed one of the branches (10) of the square (8), this branch being (10) equipped with a slot (11) whose function will be exposed with later, so that branch (10) of the squad is located opposite in the recess (9) of the frame (1) or sheet (2) and facing the inner face of the stone (6), just as represented in figure 2. The branch (10 ') of the squares (8) will go positioned in the respective recess (9 ') of the frame and the sheet.

Said branch (10 ') of the square (8), remains attached to the corresponding frame (1) or sheet (2), fixing it by means of a screw (12) through a hole (13) of such branch (10 ').

Now, in that fix the first thing that does is mount a threaded rod (14) in a hole (15) of the piece (6), either in a block previously introduced in it or in a mass of epoxy resin, so that threaded rod (14) is through the slot (11) of the branch (10) of the square (8), fixing with a nut (16), which makes the square is perfectly fixed to the stone (6) with removable character, so that once the square is fixed to the stone (6), to the branch (10 ') is then fixed to the frame wood (1) or sheet (2), through the passage of the screw (12) through the hole (13) of that branch (10 '), so that at the time of the tightening of such screw (12), the square (8) will slide with with respect to the stone (6), through the groove (11) of the branch (10) of such a squad (8).

Obviously, for each squad (8) of which participate in the union, which has already been said to be or will be of done several, that same slippage will occur with respect to the stone (6), in order to achieve a strong, stable structure and compact, without suffering any damage or tension any of the materials that participate in the constitution of the window.

The squares (8) are fixed to the inner face of the stone (6), after fixing the insulating sheet (7), is say that it will be interspersed between the stone and the stone itself square, all this so that once assembled or fixed the square (8) to the stone (6), as previously stated, is it fixes the other branch (10 ') of the square (8) to the wood, either the frame (1) or the sheet (2), fixing it performs, as already said, using a screw (12) through a hole (13) of the branch or wing (10 ') of smaller length of the square (8), so that as you take after tightening that screw (12) the square (8) will leave sliding between the wood and the corresponding insulating sheet (7) adhered to the stone (6), so that no material is achieved suffer damage or tension and achieving a stable structure, strong and compact

Finally the assembly of the glass plate (3), until it stops with the insulating sheet (7) adhered to the stone (6), finally placing the inner reed (4), which can be fixed by nailing or screwing and used to press against the glass plate (3) and against the own stone (6).

In a variant embodiment, as represents in figure 4, the fixation of the stone (6) to the wood it is done by the same squares (8) but located in another position, in this case on the inner side of the wooden frame (1) and on the outer side of the sheet (2), leaving the squares (8) seen by both the frame (1) and the sheet (2), taking fix it by means of a screw (12) to fix it to the wood or a threaded rod (14) for fixing to the stone, such as in the case referred to above and shown in figure 2.

In this variant embodiment shown in the Figure 4 it is possible to replace the glass plate (3) of the window or the stone on the outside, thus avoiding the reed (4) of the inner part and shown in figure 1, simplifying to the maximum the replacement of that glass plate (3) and the stone itself (6).
