Description

Move and lock devices and balcony glazing system

The invention relates to the displacement and locking means according to the preamble of claim 1 for locking the position of the glass sheet movable along the upper and lower rails at a certain angle with respect to the upper rails.

The invention also relates to a balcony glazing system according to the preamble of claim 19.

Glass sheets circulating on glazed balconies must be removable, for example, due to cleaning or weather changes. To do this, the balcony glazing 10 must be able to be moved to a suitable position on the balcony (usually against the balcony side wall) and rotated and / or locked at 90 degrees or more relative to the top and bottom rails of the balcony glazing system.

In the prior art, glazing and locking systems for glazing panels of the prior art balcony glazing systems generally have upper and lower rails which allow the glazing to be moved. To move the glass-15 sheets along the rails, there are guide members inside the top and bottom rails and separate locking means for locking the glass sheets to a desired location. There are several types of locking means, but they are generally based on bringing the lock or disc-shaped locking member and its counterpart into contact when the glass is rotated at a desired angle to the upper rail.

The main disadvantage of these known balcony window locking means is the low tolerance of the glass guiding elements and the locking means to dissolve the inner rail, resulting in their increased need for maintenance and inoperability. The balcony moving and locking devices used today work well when mounted on straight surfaces, but if the surfaces are skewed, as is often the case, this causes a number of problems, such as blocking of the guide members on the rail and failure of the locking means. Prior art transfer and locking means are also often complex in their locking and transfer mechanisms, thereby increasing their manufacturing costs.

A typical prior art balcony moving and locking device is disclosed in U.S. Patent No. 10,1823. It describes a lower and upper guide member through which a glass 3 can be pivoted through a pivot axis. To lock the glass, the rigid system includes a rod-shaped or 2-disk locking member 7 above the top guide member, which is locked into its counterpart. Such a locking device works well if the locking member can be mounted in the intended position with respect to the counterpart, but if, for example, the upper rail has to be slanted, there may easily be problems with the locking in the counterpart. Such transfer-5 and locking means further comprise a separate rail-supported upper guide member and a locking member, which complicates the structure.

Prior art glass sheet transfer and locking systems have an upside-down pivot in a pivoting position for supporting the pivotable rear of the glass sheet as pivoting the glass sheet until locking portions on the rail 10 receive locking portions coupled to the glass sheet pivoting end. Hereby, the position of the upper and lower guide members to be placed at the top and bottom of the glass for moving and locking balcony glazing devices, depending on where the pivoting position is to be locked for each pane of glass. When the upper and lower guide members are not located at the ends of the glass sheet, this in turn causes the position of the glass sheet swiveling position at the end of the balcony 15, i.e. the swiveling position of the swiveling position on the balcony.

The invention is intended to overcome the problems of the prior art.

Accordingly, it is a primary object of the invention to provide a parquet window system with 20 simple and movable balcony window transfer and locking means. A further object of the invention is to provide a balcony glazing system whereby the position of the glazing pivoting position at the desired end of the balcony can be freely selected.

The main object of the invention is achieved by the transfer and locking means according to claim 1 and the balcony glazing system according to claim 19.

More particularly, the invention relates to transfer and locking means for locking the position of a glass sheet movable along the top and bottom rails at a certain angle to the top rail. The top rail consists of the top, bottom, inner and outer sides. At the upper edge of the glass sheet are connected two upper guide members which can be dissolved in the upper rail through the upper support strip and at the lower edge of the glass sheet are connected two lower guide members which can be dissolved in the lower rail. The glass sheet is connected immovably between said lower support bar and the upper support bar, whereby at least the upper support bar extends from end to end of the glass plate and can be pivoted and locked at an angle to the upper rail. Each top guide member is hemispherical and is formed as a locking member by engaging it with a support bar attached to the top of the glass sheet by a rigid attachment that prevents pivotal movement of the support bar and the top guide member, the horizontal plane is sprayed at half the height of said upper control member at a distance of 5 cm. The top guide member of each pair of top guide members engages in a support bar at the end of the support bar and at the same time at the top of the glass sheet.

In a preferred embodiment of the invention, the top rail has recesses located at the same longitudinal position of the top rail as the locking member on the shelf mounted on the side wall.

The balcony glazing system according to the invention, in turn, comprises a plurality of top and bottom rails rotating the balcony and glass panels movable along the top and bottom rails, wherein each top rail comprises a top coupled via a lower-support rail to two lower rail-adjustable lower guide portions, and wherein the glass sheet is immobilized between said lower support rail and support rail, wherein at least the upper support rail extends from end to end of the glass sheet and can be pivoted and locked to the upper rail. Each upper guide member is hemispherical and is formed as a locking member by engaging it in a support plate attached to the upper portion of the glass sheet by a rigid attachment which prevents pivotal movement of the upper support bar and the upper guide member, approximately half the height of said upper control member. For each pair of top guide members, the top guide member engages with its tu-25 kg at its end and at the same time at the top of the glass sheet.

The invention is based on the fact that the upper guide elements sliding on the top rail are arranged to act simultaneously as a load-bearing structure for moving the glass sheets on the rails and also as locking means for turning the glass sheets in a pivot position at a certain angle to the longitudinal direction. This, in turn, is made possible by the fixed attachment of these upper guide members to the upper support bar and the shape of their hemisphere and their locking counterparts relative to the hemisphere - the counterpart being in a horizontal plane passing through the midline of the hemisphere.

By making the attachment between the upper guide member and the upper support bar rigid, it is possible to lock the upper support bar and the upper steering member simultaneously into a locking position 4, eliminating the need for separate transfer means and locking means as in prior art balcony glazing systems.

Such a hemispherical joint control and locking member is not sensitive to irregularities and skews of the mounting surface of the kis structure; even if the side walls (exterior and interior) facing downwards from the top side of the top rail 5 are not completely upright but slightly inclined with respect to the vertical, this does not affect the operation of the locking system, since the counterparts still remain horizontal through the centerline of the hemisphere; in the prior art locking means, the slanting of the rail structure often causes the locking means to malfunction.

The hemispherical composite locking and guiding member also has the advantage that its movement in the top rail is not hindered even if the rail is oblique to the vertical, unlike prior art locking members where the locking members are separate from the guide members and may hit the rail walls.

In a preferred embodiment of the invention, a double base is formed on the top rail and a projection from the support plate of the glass sheet extends between the top and bottom of the double base. In addition, there may be a sliding support between the bottom of the double sole and the projection. The projection projecting between the double bottom then supports the upper edge of the glass sheet that can be pivoted in the pivoting position K until the locking member on the top rail engages the locking member. Such a structure of the top rail and the glass sheet support bar associated with the combined locking and top guiding member provides the additional advantage over prior art solutions that the top rail need not be fitted with an additional projection (cam) to secure the glass horizontally when pivoting the glass. Hereby, the combined transfer and locking means according to the invention can be placed at the ends of all glass panes, which in turn allows the optional position of the pivoting position at the desired end of the balcony, i.e. the pivoting position can be selected before or even after installation. The end of the balcony refers to the part of the balcony where the balcony opening ends.

In prior art balcony glazing systems, the upper guide members have to be rotatable about their vertical axis, i.e. the attachment between the support bar and the upper steering member is not fixed since some of the upper guide members in the forward direction are not located at the ends of the support bar. Such an attachment head between the support bar and the top guide member, in turn, stems from the fact that known stiffening systems use an additional protrusion to support the position of the glass when turning the glass in the pivot position.

The advantages of the balcony glazing system according to the invention over the level of the invention are thus based on two interrelated aspects: the joint between the top guide member and the support strip 5 is fixed, which is due to the fact that all top guide members are located at the ends. The top guide members can be placed at the ends of the glass sheet, since the invention does not require the top rail to be provided with a separate support cam when rotating the glass sheets. The need for a bracket, in turn, has been eliminated since the invention has modified the structure of the top rail by tracking the top of the top rail to a double base and arranging a projection on the support bar to support the glass sheet when rotating the glass sheet.

Furthermore, in another preferred embodiment of the invention, a plurality of similar and concentric recesses are formed at the bottom of the top rail adjacent the counterpart of each top guide member at the same position along the length of the top rail. Such recesses prevent sliding of the glass sheet when rotating in the longitudinal direction of the top rail.

In another preferred embodiment of the invention, each of the lower guide members movable on the bottom rail includes a horizontally pivotable guide member. The guide member consists of two horizontal wheels 20 mounted on the same axis and rotatable in opposite directions as the guide member passes through a guide channel formed on the lower rail. The guide chute is a portion of the lower rail that is parallel to the bottom of the lower rail on one side and whose vertical sides form a wedge-shaped structure for rotating the guide portions in different directions as the guide portion is moved along the guide chute. It is possible to push the guide member towards the guide chute 25 with a support arm coupled to the guide member which is subjected to a spring force.

Preferably, the vertical sides of the guide chute are shaped such that the guide portions which come in contact with them touch different vertical sides regardless of the inclination of the lower rail.

Such a design of the lower rail and the guide member provides the advantage that the guide member slides smoothly in the guide channel under all conditions. The fit between the guide member and the guide chute 30 is also non-playable under all circumstances, since the guide member is pressed evenly towards the guide chute with a certain spring force.

In addition, the elongate support arm passing through the housing and pressing the guide member has a certain amount of vertical movement, thereby providing a certain vertical fading margin for the balcony window assembly.

Figures 8A, 8B and 8C illustrate a rear lower guide member located on the lower rail, viewed directly at the end of the glass element with the lower rail visible as a cross-sectional pattern.

In the following, the features of the invention illustrated in the figures and the structures shown in the figures will be discussed.

Figures 1A-1B and 2 illustrate a single sheet of glass 5 of the balcony glazing system of the invention connected to the upper and lower guide members 2, 3, i.e. transmission and locking lines 1, viewed from different angles. Both the upper guide members 2 and the lower guide members 3 are each pair and as shown in Figures 1A-1B. The upper guide members 2 are secured to the upper corners of the glass sheet 5 via the upper support strip 4 and the guide members 30 of the lower guide members 3 to the lower corner of the rectangular glass sheet via the lower support strip 300.

The glass sheet 5 engages the upper (5) hollow upper guide members 2 (upper) above its upper edge and upper corner via a support strip 4, which in turn is attached to the upper part of the glass sheet. Each of the lower guide members 3 consists of a lower support rail 300 common to the lower guide members, attached to the lower portion of the glass sheet, to which two guide portions 30 are attached to the lower guide member and the lower handle of the lower handle . Both the upper support bar 4 and the lower support bar 300 extend from the end of the glass plate 5 to the end.

The top rail 7 is connected to the surrounding mounting bracket 6, whereby the waste system is attached to the balcony structures (not shown in the figures). The glass sheet 5 is pivotable on the front and rear (top) guiding members 2 of the glass sheet at the front and rear; 2 ', 2' and 25, respectively, at the front and rear lower guiding members 3 of the glass sheet; Vertical lines Q1 passing through 3 ', 3' guide portions; Q2 around. This provides the advantage that the glass sheet can be rotated in either vertical line Q; Q 1 or Q; Q2 so that the rotation of the rotary station K described below can be freely selected. The elongated top rail 7 consists of a top side 73 and outer and inner sides 76, 75 connected at right angles 30 to the top side, and a horizontal double base 70 supported by a top guide member 2. The top rail 7 has a substantially rectangular cross-sectional shape is an opening. Within the space defined by the double base 70 of the top rail 7, the inner side 75, the outer side 76, and the upper lip 73, a housing-like sliding space T is provided with the upper guide 8 member 2. The outer side 76 and inner side 75 extend vertically and parallel to each other. The double bottom 70 and the top side 73 extend horizontally and are parallel to each other.

Figures 3 and 4A-C show in more detail angles of view, a semi-5 spherical top guide member 2 which is slidable in the top rail 7 in a slider T. The top guide member 2 is secured to the glass plate 5 via a support strip 4. At the same time, the upper guide member 2 acts as a support for the glass plate 5 as it slides over the double base 7 of the upper rail and also as a locking means 2 when locked in its counterpart 20.

3 and 4A-4B are shown in the dormant state, that is, in which the upper guide members 2 are normally slid along the double bottom 70 of the upper rail and have not yet been pivoted and locked by the upper rail. , into its counterpart 20 (semicircular opening) on shelf 200.

In Fig. 4C, the top control member is shown in the position in which it has turned to its locking position in the pivoting position.

In the dormant state, the vertical straight surface 2a of the hemispherical top guide member 2 is turned toward the vertical inner side 75 of the upper rail 7. The upper rail 7 the position.

Generally, the top side 73 of the top rail 7 and the horizontal portion of the mounting bracket 6 that attaches to the balcony are parallel. However, if the horizontal part of the support bracket 6 to be attached to the balcony is to be fixed to an abnormal position or position, for example due to unevenness in the roof of the balcony, the height adjustment 73 of the top rail 7 can be adjusted. The top rail 7 has a dual base 70 horizontally engaging the outer side 76, but not the inner side 75, consisting of a parallel upper top 71 and a lower base 72, respectively. The upper bottom 71 has a longitudinal guide groove 70 of the top rail; 71; 71a and a plurality of successive pits or recesses in the pivot position (see Figure 7). The guide groove 71a is formed by pivoting the free end of the horizontal top floor 71 upwards.

The hemispherical upper guide member 2 rests on its upper surface on the upper surface of the upper sole 71, its guide groove 71a such that the straight surface 2a of the upper guide member 2 is vertically or even slightly inclined from the vertical, for example 5-10 degrees. The upper guide member 2 engages the upper part of the glass 5 via a support strip 4 which extends horizontally from the end of the glass sheet 5 to the end. The support strip 4 extends vertically from the top guide member in an opening in the corner between the top side rail 75 and the double bottom 5 70 toward the glass 5 below the top track 8 to which it is secured by a rigid clamping connection. The hemispherical top guide member 2 is secured to the support strip 4 from below the narrow plate-like support arm 2b connected directly to the hemisphere surface 2a. The support arm 2b is fixedly attached to the upwardly extending groove 4a formed by the upper end of the support bar 4. Due to the solid, rigid attachment of the upper guide member 2 and the support bar 10 4, the mutual position of the upper guide member 2 and the glass 5 rigidly attached to the support bar 4 does not change when the upper guide member 2 is rotated (cf. FIGS. 3C, 5 and 6). In this case, the upper guide member 2 is able to act both as a transfer member when moving on the upper rail and as a locking member when the glass plate 5 is rotated by the mass of the swivel weapon 15.

From the support strip 4 connecting the upper guide member 2 and the glass 5, the projection 41 separates between the upper and lower sole 71, 72 of the double base 70 of the upper rail 7. The projection 41 extends from end to end 7 of top rail 7 at an equal distance from top side 73 of top rail 73. Horizontal portion 72a of bottom floor 72 of dual base 70 has a pocket 72b on which a sliding plane 72c can be placed. The sliding plane 72c in the pocket 72b facilitates the sliding of the support strip 4 and the upper guide member 2 adhering thereto over the lower sole 72 (cf. Figs. 4B and 4C). The junction between the top guide member 2 and the support strip 4 is immediately adjacent the longitudinal vertical plane P in the center of the upper rail 7 and the horizontal upper center line L in the midline of the hemispherical height. 73 in the middle of the slide, T in the middle. When the upper guide member 2 is in a dormant state, its lower surface rests on the upper sole 71 of the double sole 70, the bend 71a between the horizontal portion of the upper sole 71 and the upwardly tilted free end 71a acting as a groove 71a.

The hemispherical counterparts are located on a triangular shelf 200 tapered to the inner side 75 of the top rail 7, tapering toward the free end, the free tip of which extends close to the straight surface 2a of the guide member 2.

The locking counterpiece 20 of each top control member 2 is an opening 20 with a shelf structure 35,200. The shelf is best shown in Figures 3 and 4A-4C. The openings on the shelf are illustrated in Figures 5 and 7.

10

In a preferred embodiment of the invention, a plurality of recesses 25 with a positioning means 250 are tracked at the locking counterparts on the shelf 200, the top rail 71 having a positioning means 250. This embodiment is illustrated in Figure 7 and Figure 4A-4C.

The horizontal shelf 200 attaches horizontally to the vertical rotation K of the inner side 75 of the top rail 7, i.e., where the glass sheets 5 are to be rotated to a desired angle (generally about 90 degrees) to the top rail. The pivoting position shown in Fig. 3A is located at one end of the upper rail 7 (cf. Fig. 6). The lower edge of the shelf 200 is located in a horizontal plane extending half-way between the upper guide member 2. Thus, the shelf 200 attaches to a height of the inner side 75 such that the horizontal lower edge of the shelf is located about half the height, i.e. diameter, of the hemispherical top guide member 2, as viewed from the top bottom 71 of the top rail 7. The openings 20 on the shelf 200 are adjacent to each other and are at least as many as the glass-15 panels of the balcony glazing system. The apertures 20 have a circular arc with a longitudinal section profile, and their mouth opens away from the inner wall 75, towards the upper guide member 2 on the top rail. The apertures have a radius r of approximately the same radius as the hemispherical guide member 2. The free edge of the shelf 200 extends close to the straight surface 2a of the hemispherical guide member 2.

The control member 2 is locked in its counterpart 20 as shown in Fig. 5. For the sake of simplicity, the figure shows only the top control members 2; 2'a, 2'b, and a shelf 200 having counterparts 20; 20 ', 20 ", 20'" are located. In the situation shown in Fig. 5, the first glass sheet from the right is pivoted at 90 degrees to the inner wall 75 of the upper rail which runs parallel to the shelf 200. The hemisphere 2'b used as the top guide member coupled to the En-25's first glass sheet has rotated 90 degrees to lock in a counter segment 20 having a circular segment; 20 '. Next to it is a hemisphere 2'a connected to a second sheet of glass, just brought next to its counterpart 20 ', whereby by rotating it counterclockwise 90 degrees, the sheet of glass attached thereto is aligned with the first sheet of glass 30.

Fig. 6B shows, as shown in Figs. 4B, 5A and 5B, a plurality of glass plates 5 pivoted adjacent to the pivoting station K, which are inclined at 90 degrees to the longitudinal direction of the upper rail. Fig. 6B also shows the arrangement of a pair of upper control members; a guide member 2 located at both longitudinal ends of each sheet of glass sheet support 4 is then provided with an opening not shown in the figure by removing a piece thereof prior to the pivoting position for the rearward guide member 2; 2 ”can turn out from inside the upper rail. The upper guide member 2 shown in Figures 4B and 4C is the forward guide member 2,2 'extending inside the upper rail in Fig. 6. 4C, it can be seen that the protrusion 41 of the support bar 4 pivoting with the guide member 2 remains at least partially inside the midsole, i.e. between bottom 5 of base 5 and top 71, although the rear end 4 "of support bar 4 and the rear end of glass plate 5 outwardly or toward the inner rail 75 of the top rail. Due to the double base 70 forming the pivoting support for the projection 41 of the support strip 4, the rearwardly-facing end of the glass transported by the rails 7,8 along the guide portions 2 and lower guide members 3. in a balcony glass arrangement according to the invention, when a guide member 2 is attached in the direction of transfer of the glass sheet 5 to the upper edge of the rear end by a support strip 4; 2 'is pivoted outward in pivot station K. In one preferred embodiment illustrated in more detail below with reference to Fig. 7, the reliability of the pivoting action of the glass sheet 5 is improved on the formed base 71 during rotation, the structure of the positioning means 250 is also generally shown in Figures 4A, 4B and 4C.

Prior art balcony glazing systems are illustrated, for comparison, in Figure 6A. They only have the transfer members 21; 2Γ, 21 ”οη on the top rail of the glass sheet to be brought to the first pivoting position K, attached to the ends of the glass sheet top bracket 4, the other transfer plates 21” are located at a certain distance from the rear end 4 of the support strip 4. This distance depends on where the glass sheet 25 is pivoted at the pivoting position K. The reason why the rear transfer member 21 "cannot be placed at the rear end of the strut 4" as in the invention is that known balcony glazing systems have a support rail extending from the top rail (not shown) against which the rear glass sheet support bar end 4 'is supported when rotating the glass sheet in the pivoting position K. In the invention, this problem does not arise because the support sheet 4 is supported by the projection 41 on the double bottom 70 when the glass sheet is pivoted.

Figure 6B also shows an advantage of such a structure of the balcony glazing system 10 of the invention over known balcony glazing systems (Figure 6A); if a handrail V passes in the immediate vicinity of the upper rails 7, a glass plate 5 provided with the guiding members according to the invention can be easily guided to guide the upper rails 7; 7 'and 7; 7 ”, because the upper guide members 2 12 are at the ends of a support strip 4 adhering to the glass plates and the upper guide members 2 extend continuously inside the upper rail 7. In prior art systems, only the first guides of the glass sheet to be brought to the first pivoting position K are at the ends of the support plate associated with the glass panels; the other guide panels have a rear guide 5

In the balcony glazing system 10 according to the invention, both pairs of top and bottom guide members of all glazing panes can be located at opposite ends of each glazing pan (Fig. 106). In this corner, the upper and lower rails facing each other at 90 degrees can be bevelled to 45 degrees.

When the glass sheets 5 of the balcony glazing system 10 are moved on the top and bottom rails by the top guide members 2 and the guide members of the bottom guide members 3, the top guide members 2 can be conveyed directly from the top 15 of the first top rail to the top bottom of the second top rail. The guide member 2 generally travels inside the rail in a resting position (cf. Figs. 3 and 4), i.e. its straight surface 2a is parallel to the longitudinal axis of the upper rail, but in the corner and thereafter the front guide member is transiently angled with its longitudinal axis. Thus, the top guide member need not be pivotable with respect to its vertical axis P and the support bar as in similar balcony glazing systems known in the art, but the attachment between the top guide member 2 and the support bar 4 may be arranged fixed.

In prior art balcony glazing systems, the upper guide members have to be rotatable about their vertical axis, i.e., the attachment between the support bar and the top guide member is not fixed because a portion of the upper guide members 21 in the rearward direction; 21 'is not located at the 4 ends of the support rail. In this way, the top guide member 21, which is pivotable with respect to the support bar, can no longer function in the same way as both the transfer and locking member as the top guide member 2 according to the invention.

As already mentioned above, in the pivoting position K, there is no need to support the rearwardly moving end of the glass sheet 5 in any direction when the glass sheet is pivoted as shown in Figure 6. This is because the protrusion 41 of the support strip 4 is so long that it extends so deep between the lower and upper soles of the double sole 70 that during the pivoting movement the protrusion 41 rests for at least one portion between the lower and upper soles of the double sole 70. At a particular point in the pivoting movement, the front control member 2; The 2 ”then begins to rest on its locking counterpart 20, so that the rear end 5” of the glass sheet no longer needs to be separately supported.

The balcony glazing system 10 according to the invention is capable of collecting balcony glazing on any side of the balcony, since the top guiding members 2: 5 2 ', 2' of all glazing panels are located at the same position on the support strip 4 adjoining the glazing sheet 5 Thus, both the structure of all the top guide members 2 and their position on the glass sheet support strip 4 are identical with respect to each other. Also, the lower guide members 3 are similar and located at the same position on the guide parts.

Figures 7 and 4A-4C illustrate yet another preferred embodiment of the invention consisting of a top rail positioning means 250. In the top rail pivoting position, adjacent the counterpart of each top guide member, is formed on top top 70 of top rail 7; A plurality of similar recesses 25 concentric with the longitudinal centerline of the base 25; 25 ', 25 ", 25"' by positioning means 250, which is also shown in Figures 4A-4C.

Figures 4A-4C show the location of the positioning means 250 on the upper base 71 of the top rail 7. The positioning means 250 is a separate plastic positioning member mounted on a pivoting position on the top rail 71, comprising a plurality of recesses 25 in the slider 27 mounted on the top rail 71 and a connecting piece 26 which engages and aligns with the outer side 76 of the top rail. .

Fig. 7 shows a positioning means 250 on a top rail in a pivoting position with three recesses 25 with a slider 27. Fig. 7 shows a top view directly from the side and a bottom view directly from above. In the lower figure, the exterior side of the top rail, which is behind the connecting piece 26 of the positioning device mounted on the outer side, is viewed from the plane of the top floor. The connecting piece 26 mentioned in the lower picture is shown at the top. From recesses 25 to 25 25; 25 'and 25; 25 ”is placed in one recess 25 of top guide member 2; 25 '' when free.

The picture shows two top control members 2; 2'a and 2; 2'b is thus disposed in two left recesses 25 'and 25', right recess 25; 25 '' when free. To the left recess 25; 25 'imported upper control member 2; 2'a is in the position in which the glass sheet has just been brought into the pivoting position, i.e.. a glass plate and a top guide member 2; 2'a has not yet been translated into recess 25; 25 '. Thus, said upper guide member 2'a has not yet turned to its locking member 14, whereby its straight portion 2a; 2aa is oriented longitudinally of the upper rail 7. Repeat the upper control member 2, located 25 ”in the center recess; 2'b, in turn, has already been rotated 90 degrees in its locking position, whereby the glass sheet has rotated 90 degrees relative to the longitudinal direction of the upper rail, in the position shown in Fig. 6B 5 in the pivoting position K. Said upper guide member 2; 2'b straight portion 2a; 2ab is at 90 degrees to the longitudinal direction of the upper rail 7.

The recesses 25 are intended to position the upper guide member 2; 2 'with its counterpart so that the user cannot accidentally rotate the glass plate other than just at the counterpart. When the upper control member 2; 2 'is a recess 25 mentioned in recess 25Λ10 to prevent movement of the upper guide member in the longitudinal direction of the upper rail 7, thereby also preventing movement of the glass sheet in the longitudinal direction of the upper rail 7, wherein the upper guide member 2; 2 'turns and locks into its counterpart without difficulty. Since the recess 25 obstructs the upper guide member 2; Also, when the pivot 2a is moved longitudinally of the upper rail 7, the edge of the straight portion 2a of the upper guide member 2 does not come into contact with the tip of the mating member.

Figures 8A, 8B and 8C illustrate in greater detail the lower control member 3 of the glass sheet transfer and locking means used in the balcony glazing system of the invention. The structure of the lower guide member 3 is previously described generally in Figures 1 and 2.

Figures 8A illustrate a situation in which the rear lower control member 3 is located on the lower rail 8; 3 'is in the dormant state or wherein said lower guide member is relied upon to move the la slice element to its respective lower and upper guide members.

8B, in turn, illustrates a situation in which the glass element 5 is just started to pivot 25 in the pivot position.

Fig. 8C shows a situation in which the glass element and its lower control member have already been pivoted to some extent.

Figures 8A-8C show a cross-section of the lower rail 8 and a rear lower guide member 3 located on the lower rail; 3 "associated with a lower support rail 300. That rear 30 lower guide member 3" may be pivoted together with a glass plate 5 in a pivoting position (cf. Fig. 6B). The lower guide member 3 comprises a support arm 32, a vertical housing 301 having a compression spring surrounding the support arm, and a guide member 30 coupled to the support arm, which will be described in more detail below.

The glass element 5 is secured at its lower end to a lower support rail 300 extending from the end of the glass panel 5 downwardly from said glass panel 5 through a vertical guide housing 3 in the lower support panel 300 adjacent the glass panel; 3 'Support arm 32 extending in its lower position 5 (Fig. 8A) a certain distance below the lower edge of the housing 301 in the lower support strip 300. Inside the housing is a prestressed compression spring (not shown in the figures) which presses the support arm 32 downwardly, towards the guide chute 80 and at the same time towards the bottom of the lower rail 8. The lower end 32a of the support arm 32 is formed as a horizontal projection 32a directly facing the outer side and bearing a horizontal guide member 10 30. The guide member 30 consists of two parallel, centrally mounted and superposed bearings: the upper guide member 30a and the lower guide member. The support arm 32 centers the bearing position of the guide members 30 in the same vertical plane as the plane of the glass sheet 5.

The lower rail 8 consists of a vertical outer wall 86 and a vertical inner wall 85 as well as a horizontal bottom 81 connecting the outer and inner walls. 8A to 8C, the inner wall 85 and outer wall 86 are approximately equal in height. The upper edge of the inner wall 85 is turned inward to a horizontal projection 85a. The projection 85a otherwise extends from the inside wall to the end, except that the pivoting position has an opening so that the lower guide portion 30 can be raised 20 out of the guide chute (opening of projection 85a: cf. Fig. 8B). From the bottom of the lower rail 81 rises a substantially vertical partition 8; 88. At the bottom of the lower rail 81, two upright L-shaped supports 81b of transverse cross-section are attached, with the small arms of the L facing each other.

Now, in the space defined by partition 88, bottom 81 and inner wall 85, the guide channel 80 is deflected. The guide chute 80 is defined by vertical walls, namely inner side 88a of inner wall 88 and outer side 85b of outer wall 85. and the upper guide member 30a each touching only one of said sides 85a and 88a while moving, and each of the guide member 30a and 30b touching a different side 30. In the embodiment of the invention shown in Figures 8A-8C, the lower guide member 30b contacts the inner side 88a of the partition 88 and the upper guide member the inner side 85b of the inner wall when in the guide groove. As the guide member 30 is moved along the guide chute 80, the upper guide member 30a and the lower guide member 30b rotate in opposite directions due to friction between the lower guide member 30b and side 88a and the upper guide member 30a and page 85b. In the embodiment of Figures 8A-8C, contacting guide members 30a, 30b of the same size with sides 16a, 85b of different guide grabs as the guide member 30 moves in said guide well is implemented by a wedge-shaped structure of the guide chute and a downwardly pressing compression spring. In the embodiment shown in the figure, the wedge-like structure of the guide chute 80 is implemented such that about 5 of the inner side 88 of the septum; 88a below the mid-range side 88a is curved toward the inner wall 85, but above the mid-range side 88a is curved toward the outer side 86. The side 88a is thus a cross-sectional profile of a shallow S-shaped. Correspondingly, the inner side 85b of the inner wall 85 is shaped such that approximately half the height the surface of the inner side 85b is curved or slightly curved toward the outer wall 88, but below the midline the surface of the inner side 85b curves strongly away from the outer wall 86.

Fig. 8A shows a situation in which the rear control member 3; The guide member 30 'moves in the wedge-shaped guide chute 80 or alternatively the guide member 30 is in the idle state of the wedge member. the guide arm 32 is in its lowered position, pressing the guide member 30 30 towards the inner side of the partition 88 and the lower guide member 30b towards the inner side of the inner wall 85 by the compression spring in the housing 301. The guide member 30 wedges against the vertical walls 85 and 88 of the guide chute 80 so that the compression spring ensures that the members 30a, 30b of the guide member 30 are always tightly pressed against the vertical sides 88a and 85b of the guide chute 80 so that the glass members of the balcony glazing system 80. This prevents the glazing of the balcony in normal winding and rattling conditions. The wedge-shaped construction of the guide chute 80 above ensures that the lower guide member 30b and the upper guide member 30 always rotate in opposite directions, even though they are on the same axis of rotation, with the further advantage that the guide member 30 moves smoothly and smoothly in the guide chute 80. 88a and 85b are further shaped as described above such that the upper guide member 30a and the lower guide member 30b always contact the sides of different vertical walls, even if the bottom rail 81 of the lower rail 8 is inclined horizontally.

Fig. 8B, in turn, illustrates a situation in which a glass plate 5 is prepared for pivoting in a pivoting position (cf. Fig. 6B and description thereof). The guide member 30 is raised from the guide chute 80 through an opening in the projection 85a of the top edge of the inner wall 85. The support arm 32 supporting the guide member 30 is in its upper position.

Fig. 8C illustrates a situation in which the front end of the glass element 5 and the rear guide member 3 ', which engages the front end of the lower support strip of the glass element 35, are pivoted inwardly through an opening in the inner wall 85. The pair of horizontal wheels forming the guide portion 30b of the rear guide member 3 ', i.e. the lower guide member 30b and the upper guide member 30a, completely pivots over the edge of the inner wall 85 of the lower rail 8, so that the pivoting movement can be continued The glass element opens onto the inside of the balcony on the 8C balcony. In the corresponding pivot position at the front lower guide member, there is no opening in the inner wall 85, so that it cannot exit the guide groove 80.

The elongated support arm 32 passing through the housing 301 has a certain amount of vertical movement. If the support structures 10 above the upper rail 7 of the balcony glazing system or the upper rail 7 itself lower, the upper rail 7 descends towards the lower rail 8, the distance between the lower end 32a of the support arm and the lower edge of the glass plate 5 The above-described structure of the support arm 32 and the downwardly pressing compression spring thus provides the advantage that the support arm 32 does not contact the lower rail and the guide member 30 is further slidably slidably within the guide chute 80. This provides a certain vertical fading allowance for the balcony window assembly.

Only some embodiments of the transfer and locking means 1 according to the invention and the balcony glazing arrangement have been described above, and it will be obvious to one skilled in the art that the invention can be implemented in many other ways within the scope of the inventive idea of claim 20.

Thus, the adjusting member 9 may also be located between the mounting bracket and the top rail as well as below the top side 73 of the top rail 7. The shelf 200 may also be planar.
