Other features and advantages of the present invention will be apparent from the following description with reference to the accompanying drawings, by way of illustration but not limitation, in which:

Figure 1 represents, in cross-section, a diagram of the principle of an embodiment of the door or window counterframe according to the present invention, this view representing the counterframe in the "closure" configuration, and

Figure 2 represents, in horizontal section, an industrial preferred embodiment of the door or window counterframe according to the present invention according to the representation of Figure 1.

Figure 3 represents, in horizontal section, a complete counterframe with two sliding blades according to the embodiment of Figure 2.

It should first be noted that in the figures, the same references indicate the same elements, regardless of the figure in which they appear and whatever form of representation of said elements. Also, if no reference is specifically made to one of the elements in one of the figures, references thereof can easily be found by consulting another figure.

It should also be noted that the figures represent substantially a single embodiment of the object of the present invention, but there may be other embodiments that fall within the scope of the present invention as defined by the claims.

It should also be noted that when, according to the definition of the present invention, the objective of the present invention comprises "at least one" element that performs a certain function and the embodiment

described can comprise several of said elements. On the other hand, if the embodiment of the objective according to the present invention as represented comprises several elements with an identical function and, in the description, it is not specified that the objective according to the present invention must necessarily comprise a particular number of said elements. , the objective of the present invention can be defined as comprising "at least one" of said elements.

Finally, it is evident that when, in the present description, an expression defines for itself, without specific special mention relating to it, a set of structural characteristics, said characteristics can be considered, for the definition of the objective of the requested protection, when technically feasible, either separately or in total and / or partial combination.

Referring to the two figures, the present invention relates to a door or window counterframe comprising a frame 1 substantially rectangular in shape or the like, and at least one sheet 2, sometimes two, slidably mounted on the frame, said frame 1 comprising at least one counterframe 10 defined in a direction perpendicular to the sliding direction 11 of the sheet 2, substantially vertical when the counterframe is arranged in a building.

As regards the sheet 2, it comprises, on one of its sides oriented towards the frame upright 10, a sheet upright 12 defined according to a direction perpendicular to the sliding direction 11 of the sheet 2, that is to say that It is also in a substantially vertical position in the case of the arrangement mentioned above.

Of course, the frame 1 comprises two frame uprights such as the one shown with the numerical reference 10 in Figures 1 and 2. Also, each sheet 2 comprises at least one sheet upright such as the one represented with the numerical reference 12 in said two figures.

The description given below with reference only to a frame upright and a sheet upright can easily be applied, if necessary, to two frame uprights and other sheet uprights involved, if appropriate, for closing the door. or window, as will be described later with reference to Figure 3.

The sheet stud 12 has a defined cross section in a plane perpendicular to the direction thereof, with a generally substantially rectangular or similar shape.

According to a feature of the present invention, the frame upright 10 comprises a first longitudinal cavity 22 that is opened by a first opening 23 on its face 21 oriented towards the sheet upright 12, the width of said first opening 23 being at least equal to the width of the cross-section of the sheet stud 12, and a rib 24 made in relief in the lower part 25 of the first cavity 22, said rib having a width less than that of said first cavity.

As regards the sheet stud 12, it comprises a second longitudinal cavity 31 that is opened by a second opening 33 on a face 30 oriented towards the frame stud 10, the width of said second opening being at least equal to the rib width at shoulder 24.

The first and second cavities 22, 31 and the rib 24 are arranged in such a way that, when the blade moves in the direction of travel 11 in the approximate direction of the leaf stud 12 towards the frame stud 10, the sheet stud 12 penetrates the first cavity 22 and the rib 24 penetrates the second cavity 31, to achieve a final closure configuration as shown in both figures 1 and 2.

According to a preferred embodiment, both from an industrial and aesthetic point of view, and as shown in Figure 2, the rib 24 has a height less than the depth of the first cavity 22 and the second cavity 31 has a depth lower than that of the first cavity.

Very advantageously, the frame upright 10 is made by three longitudinal profiles, a first outer profile 41, a second inner profile 42 and a third connection profile 43 intended to fix the first and second profiles 41, 42, said third profile being made 43 with a heat insulating material, for example, polyamide or the like, in particular polyamide with fiber, for example, fiberglass.

According to a preferred embodiment, such as that shown in Figure 2, said third profile 43 is constituted by strip-shaped profiles and advantageously comprises two strips 51, 52. The two strips arranged substantially parallel to each other are made of a material heat insulating and are arranged cooperating in fixing, respectively, with said first and second profiles 41, 42 so that they join together and form a rigid composite profile.

Also, in order to avoid thermal bridges, it is advantageous that the rib 24, which has been described above as being able to be in one piece, is constituted, as shown in Figures 1 and 2, by two longitudinal divisions 26, 27 substantially perpendicular to the bottom 25 of the first cavity 22 and forming a piece with the third profile 43 and the second profile 42, respectively.

In this case, it is advantageous that at least one of the two longitudinal divisions 26, 27 is made of a heat-insulating material, preferably the one arranged towards the liquid regulating volume 55, as will be described later, that is, on the side of said regulating volume 55 and in contact therewith, as shown in Figure 2. The two longitudinal divisions 26, 27 can be made with insulating material and, therefore, forming a part with the third profile 43 which will provide a Better thermal insulation.

To improve thermal and acoustic insulation, it is advantageous, as shown in Figures 1 and 2, that the first profile 41 comprises a fluid regulating volume 55, generally air, which also opens in the first cavity 22.

As shown in FIG. 3, the vertical frame upright 10 sleeping on one side of the counterframe is advantageously identical to the vertical frame upright sleeping on the other side of the counterframe, in the case of a counterframe for sliding sheets with two sheets as in Figure 3, due to an advantageous reversibility of the upright 10, by a simple rotation of the profile around a vertical axis. Thus, the complete vertical upright shown in Figure 2 is identical to the complete upright opposite the counterframe and is rotated 180 ° to each other about a vertical axis. It should also be noted that the central pillar 90 of the counterframe shown in Figure 3 is illustrated by way of example only and any known type of central pillar can be used.

According to a preferred embodiment, the second cavity 31 has a transverse profile with a substantially "T" shape, the part 60 of said second cavity corresponding to the horizontal bar of the "T" which constitutes the bottom of the second cavity and the part 61 corresponding to the vertical bar of the "T" that opens in the second opening 33 to accommodate the rib 24 defined above.

The structure described above is also interesting because it allows, as shown in Figures 1 and 2, to provide two first gaskets 71, 72 arranged in such a way that they interpose between the two opposite outer lateral divisions of the rib 24 and two opposite internal lateral divisions of the second cavity 31 when the rib has penetrated the second cavity. It also allows providing, but only as shown in Figure 1, since they are more easily optional, at least two second sealing gaskets 73, 74 interposed, respectively, between the two opposite inner side divisions of the first cavity 22 and the two opposite outer lateral divisions of the leaf stud

12. It should be noted that in Figure 3, the grooves 91, 92 have been represented in profiles 41 and 42, allowing joints 73 and 74 to be fixed respectively.

Preferably, the sheet stud 12, figure 2, will be constituted by a set of a fourth profile 35 in which said second cavity 31 is made, by a fifth profile 36 of a heat insulating material intended to constitute a lateral thermal shield and about means 37 for fixing the fourth and fifth profiles together. Said fifth profile 36 is advantageously arranged in the fluid regulating volume 55. Said third profile 36 is advantageously made of a heat insulating material, such as polyamide or the like, in particular polyamide with fiber, for example, fiberglass.

It is indicated that the means 37 intended to fix the fourth and fifth profiles together can be of any type, but advantageously they comprise at least one of the following modes: crimping, engagement.

The sheet stud made in this way with a metal L-profile and a complementary I-shaped part made with an insulating material to form a U-sheet stud profile also has the particular advantage of not bending under the effect of the difference in temperature that may prevail in cavity 22 on each side of walls 26 and 27 when the sheet is in the closed position. In fact, said well-known drawback of conventional sliding-sheet uprights with thermal bridge breakage is preferably lacking in the solution shown in Figures 2 and 3. This is because the two opposite faces of the metal profile in L 35, called exterior and interior, they are not separated by an insulating material and therefore have a lower temperature differential than when the two sides are separated by a profile of insulating material; it is eliminated or becomes insignificant, therefore, a curvature and the closure of the sheet is not prevented. In the example depicted in Figure 2, the best thermal insulation of the vertical upright of the counterframe is obtained by combining: an at least partially concealed sheet stud 12; the presence of a regulating volume 55 of fluid in the cavity 22 of the sleeper; the insulating profile of the sheet 36 is oriented towards the regulating volume 55 and at the entrance of the cavity 22 of the sleeper; the presence of at least one insulating wall 26 of the sleeping frame; the L-profile 35 of the sheet that can be metallic without suffering from the inconvenience of the curvature, and the profiles of 41 and 43 of the sleeping frame which can also be metallic.

The glazing 2 is arranged in the sheet stud by, for example, a U-shaped gasket arranged in the U of the stud, as shown in Figure 2.

As shown in Figures 2 and 3, the vertical sheet upright can preferably be recessed

5 fully in the vertical frame of the sleeping frame, in the closed position, that is to say, embedded along its entire width or practically in its entire width, presenting, if appropriate, the joints 73 and 74 at the end some lateral divisions opposite exteriors of the sheet stud 12, one constituted by the metal profile 35 and the other by the insulating profile 36. But it should be noted that partial penetration or embedment of the width of the sheet stud can also be achieved, depending on the pretended appearance.

In the description provided above, it is revealed that the counterframe according to the present invention provides good thermal and acoustic insulation, while presenting a significant aesthetic appearance since all the uprights can be partially or totally hidden behind the walls of the buildings
