  Insulation system of facade openings of a building.

  The present invention relates to an isolation system

  façade openings of a building and, in particular,

  In particular, the insulation of windows, although the invention can be implemented to isolate any type of opening in a facade.

  Buildings increasingly include an isola-

  external thermal energy which, in general, constitutes a

soundproofing.

  However, at the right of openings such as windows

  very, doors and / or vasistas, the external insulation of the facade is interrupted It follows that in these places, it

  There is no insulation other than that produced by the

  If, for the doors, there is no need to isolate them further, it is not the same for windows which require additional insulation to that provided by the window,

  for example by providing a double or triple glazing.

  The traditional exterior shutters do not constitute good thermal insulation and in any case do not

  not stop thermal exchanges through

  towards the openings between the inside and the outside of the building. The present invention aims to remedy

  disadvantages mentioned above and to allow a better isolation

at the openings.

  Its object is an insulation system for opening

  façade facings comprising exterior insulation and

  which is characterized in that it includes for each opening

  a movable flap which is integrated in the outer insulation so as to be able, at the opportune moment,

  externally seal the opening to isolate.

  According to another characteristic, the shutter is

  lant and constituted by a panel made of iso-

  lante. -1- -2- Thus, when the flap is in the closed position, the outer insulation is no longer interrupted and especially avoids that during cold periods, the night for example, there is a heat exchange between the interior and the exterior of the building.

  Moreover, since the component is integrated in the isola-

  it does not alter the external appearance of

  facade and therefore does not alter the aesthetics of the

  furniture. Other benefits and features will appear

  on reading the description given above Dus

  indicative, but not limiting, of an embodiment according to the invention, as well as the attached drawing on which

  FIG. 1 is a vertical sectional view

  dicular to the plane of the opening on the facade; Figure 2 is a sectional view along a horizontal plane. In the masonry 1 of the facade walls of a building

  2 openings are made in which is inserted

  and fixed a joinery 3 able to receive a window

  2 a and other bay The facade 4 is covered by an iso-

  5 which protects not only the masonry-

  but also a barrier to dissipation

  This insulation is intended, therefore, to limit the

  thermal losses through masonry.

  The present invention is applicable to all

  thermal insulation techniques that allow us to

  This is the case of the attached cladding consisting of a panel insulation, bonded and / or mechanically fixed to the masonry, then covered with a protective cladding reserving a largely ventilated air space. On the outside, the invention can also be used in systems coated on insulation, insulating v8 tures, etc. In the following the

  description, reference will be made simply to ex-

  5 without specifying the thermal insulation technique

than used.

  In the mass or thickness of the outer insulation 5, there is provided on each side of the opening 2 a housing 8, 8a adapted to receive a flap 9 movable in a plane parallel to the plane of the opening 2 , it being specified that said flap 9 can move laterally as shown in the drawings or vertically. The portion 8 is such that in the open position, the flap 9 is entirely housed in said portion 8 of the housing, as shown in dashed lines. in Figure 1 The portion 8a is such that the flap 9, in the closed position, closes the opening 2, while being partially housed in the parts 8 and 8a.

  A rectangular frame 10 is inserted into the box

  The frame 10 is formed by a profile 11 in which the shutter 9 slides. In section, the profile 11 has the shape of a U with a hollow reinforcement portion 12 forming a double blade for the mechanical fastening of the profile. on the insulator A seal 13 is mounted in a groove 14 formed on the inner periphery of the

profile forming the frame.

  At an edge of the opening 2 or substantially in line with the opening of the portion 8 of the housing, is fixed on the frame 10 a sealing profile 15 comprising a hollow portion with a double blade 16 and a plate 17 Air-tight bib seals 18 are mounted between

  the elements 16 and 17 and the shutter 9.

  A holding profile 19 is inserted by one of its

  sides in the housing 8.8 a, while the other side re-

  partially covers the exterior insulation 5.

  In its lower part, the profile with double blade

  door 20 openings for the evacuation of condensates

  likely to form in the bottom of housing.

  On the outside, the frame 10 comprises a flange 21

forming a gutter.

  The flap 9 is preferably constituted by a core 22 made of a homogeneous insulating material with on each side

  a rigid facing 23 allowing it to withstand

  considered climatic conditions, ie a total envelope

  -4- sistante, in which is placed a plate insulator

  or powder, or in which is injected insulation.

  It goes without saying that the nature of the insulation is not critical.

  and it may be of the mineral, organic or mixed type, provided that it is suitable for the conditions of use.

  For example, the soul may be made of organic foam, especially

  extruded polystyrene, polyurethane, phenolic, PVC, etc., or in mineral material such as mineral fiber, perlite panels, vermiculite, etc.

  The facings, thin, are in one

  with good resistance to weather and

  UV, such as PVC, anodized aluminum, prelacquered sheet metal.

  Around the entire periphery of component 9 is mounted a

  24 support and sliding on the sliding joints

  top and bottom 13 of the frame 10 In addition,

  each profile 24 comprises on each lateral side a

  spinning 25, shaped this C for receiving a seal

  sealing 26, the seals 26 resting on the frame

  dre during the movements of the flap 9 in and out of the housing 8, 8 has, so as not to ventilate the air that is trapped in the frame This trapped air and

  immobilized also participates in thermal insulation.

  In addition, the air between the shutter 9, in its position

  closure, and window 2 has helped to improve the insulation

the contribution made by component 9.

  Finally, a member for gripping the shutter is provided on the inner side. It can be of any appropriate type and

  in particular a circular imprint 27 for manipulating

9.

  To ensure good thermal insulation,

  dimensions of the flap 9 are slightly greater than those of the opening 2, so that in the closed position, the flap 9-is housed in parts 8 and 8a and allows,

  in cold weather, nor to the cold outside air of

  inward, nor to the warm air of the interior of

escape to the outside.

  It should also be noted that in the open position, the

  component 9 contributes to the thermal insulation of the opaque wall

  that, at least in part 8 of housing since,

  in this position, it constitutes an additional element

  in the outer insulation 5. The materials used in the manufacture of the frame are made of plastic (eg PVC) or in any

  other material with the insulation qualities of

  quired. Although no precision has been given as to the thickness of the shutter in particular, it goes without saying that it must

  chosen according to the nature of the insulation used

for outdoor insulation.

  Of course, the present invention is not limited to the embodiment described above, but instead covers all variants.

  9 could consist of two sheets of translucent glass

  parent or opaque trapping between them a blade of air.

  Likewise, the arrangement of the shutter 9 in the insulator 5, de-

  written and shown in the drawings, concerns a movement

that one can move said flap.
