Arch or corner window

The invention relates to an arched or angular window in which the window elements fixed side by side and fixed to the window frame form a curved multi-part window structure, in which each window element is fixed to a corresponding frame element and the adjacent frame elements are fixed to each other so as to be pivotable. before attaching the arch or corner window.

The striving of multi-manifestation in modern architecture has again brought into buildings intersecting planes and curved surfaces at angles other than at right angles. The windows are usually formed on these surfaces using a uniform rigid frame structure adapted to the shape of the façade of the building. 20 Frames have therefore had to be designed and manufactured separately for each construction site.

A conventional window structure comprises a frame with a lower and upper frame and side members and the required number of vertical and horizontal frame members.

The window panes are attached to the outer, intermediate and inner wooden frames and the frame is attached to the frame via hinges. The window to be fitted to the curved surface is divided into vertical and / or horizontal dividers by pieces of suitable size. The dividers are shaped to be angular, taking into account the shape of the façade surface, so that the frame of the window to be fitted into the opening can be straight. The extensions of the sides of the frame on the frame side of the vertical dividing body thus form intersecting planes in the depth direction 35 of the frame. The lower and upper parts of the frame form part of the frame in the form of a broken line following the surface of the façade. It is natural that such arched and angled windows are expensive compared to series-produced straight window structures. In addition, transporting curved window structures to the construction site is cumbersome. The structure is bulky and supporting the window during transport requires 5 special solutions.

German application 33 19 876 discloses a separate profile arranged between two windows with two parts rotating relative to each other. 10 It is entirely a profile to be placed between the frames to which the frames are attached. In the corner window presented in this publication, the turning is achieved by a structurally complex and expensive solution, in addition to which the column profile to be placed between the frame elements 15 takes up a disproportionate amount of space and increases costs.

The arched window according to the invention brings about a decisive improvement in the above-mentioned drawbacks. The arch or corner window according to the invention 20 is characterized in that the frame elements are fastened to each other by means of a leaf or other similar hinge, and that the corner points between the frame elements are supported and / or covered by a strip.

25

The invention relates to normal hinges which are used between the frames as a member enabling them to pivot. A list is used with the hinges to support and / or cover the corner points between the frame elements on one side. This solution makes it much easier to turn the frames relative to each other. In addition, hinge-like hinges are easy to attach to conventional frame structures without having to reshape them.

Such an arched or cornered window consisting of several window or frame elements can be transported

II

3 82119 to the construction site with the back surfaces of the frame elements pressed against each other, so that the arched window is not in the form of an arc but straight. In longer rows of window elements, it is also possible to use the transport-5 position, in which the windows are folded on top of or next to each other. The space required by the window is therefore minimal.

Also in connection with the installation work, considerable advantages are achieved with the arch and corner window 10 according to the invention. The interconnected window and frame elements remain aligned in the height, width and depth directions of the window. The connection between the frame elements can be adjusted to the desired angle more easily and with greater dimensional accuracy.

In the following, the invention will be explained in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. In the drawings, Fig. 1 schematically shows an arched window 20 in place, Fig. 2 shows an arched window in a cross-sectional view, Fig. 3 shows a cross-section in detail at the connection of frame elements, and Fig. 4 shows a connection of frame elements in two alternative transport positions.

Figure 1 schematically shows an arcuate façade 1 of a building on which an arched window 2 is installed. The window consists of a plurality of window elements 35 3 ', 3 ", 3'" attached to a corresponding frame element 4 ', 4 ", 4'". The seam between two adjacent car elements is covered with a strip 5 (elements 4 'and 4 ") and 5' (elements 4" and 4 '").

4 82119 The upper and lower pieces of adjacent frames 4 ', 4 ", 4'" of such a multi-part arched window structure thus form a series of intersecting strings, the arc connecting the intersections of which corresponds in shape to the curvature of its building component (e.g. a building window opening), in which the window is installed. In each frame element, the upper and lower pieces are interconnected by vertical frame pieces of the frame. According to the invention, the frame elements 4 ', 4 "and 4'" are connected to each other in such a way that they are always rotatable with respect to the vertical divisions of the adjacent elements. The vertical dividers are hereinafter also referred to as vertical frames.

Figure 2 shows a cross-sectional view of the window in the direction of curvature of the structure. The arched window in this case is a triple window in which the inner frame 6, 6 'is connected together and the outer frame 7, 20 7' is separate. The frame is hinged to the frame structure. The hinge structure is not shown to maintain the clarity of the image.

Separate frame elements 4 'and 4 "and 4" 25 and 4' ", respectively, are connected to each other using a hinge structure 8, 8 '. The hinge 8, 8' must be fastened with screws, for example, as a leaf hinge. Depending on the size of the frame element, two or more hinge elements are required. for.

30

Figure 3 shows the connection between the frame elements in detail. The frame elements 4 ', 4 "pivot about a longitudinal axis of the hinge 8 parallel to the longitudinal axis 35 of the parallel sides of the frame element, so that an angle α of, for example, 10 ° is left between the vertical surfaces 9', 9" of the frame elements. The smoke between the frame elements, said between the back surfaces, is filled with heat insulating material 10 5 82119 and covered with a strip 5. The strip 5 stiffens the structure firmly in place, wedging between the back surfaces 9 ', 9 ". However, the strip 5 can be placed anywhere in the seam, it can be a strip or However, it is not necessary to use a strip 5. The heat insulating material 10 can be, for example, glass wool or an expandable material, such as polyurethane foam, which is also suitable for stiffening the window structure.

10

Figure 4 shows the connection of the frame elements 4 ', 4 "in the transport positions A and B. In position A, the back surfaces 9, 9' of the frame elements face each other, whereby the frame elements with their squares form a straight line.

15

Figure 4 also shows the advantage of the hinge positioning option in which the pivot axis of the hinge 8 is located on the outer surface of the frame pieces parallel to the frame plane 20 of the outer frames 6 'and 4 "of the frame elements 4' and 4" on each side so that adjacent elements 4 'and 4 "can be folded The pivot axis of the hinge 8 is then located with respect to each element at or slightly outside the above-mentioned planes. The outer surface here means the surface of the arched window on the interior or exterior side of the building.

In position B, the two elements are stacked on top of each other, so that the transport can be performed in either a vertical or horizontal position. In longer rows of elements, both transport positions can be used, whereby the window can be folded as shown in Fig. C, i.e. the two extreme elements 35 on each side overlap.

The arch or corner window according to the invention can be made of any material, such as wood, plastic or metal. The window can be of any type. It is also possible that the window is concave with respect to the exterior, in contrast to Figure 2, where it is convex with respect to the exterior.

The window according to the invention can be used in both vertically and horizontally curved wall structures as well as in skylight structures.
