FR2617897A1 - FRAME PROFILE FOR WINDOWS OR DOORS, WITH WATER FLOW OPENINGS - Google Patents

Abstract

The water flow openings 2 are each covered by a cover 3 in the form of a hood, which allows the water to flow downwards and is fixed to the frame profile by snap arms 6. To give the cover 3 a shape such that a stable attachment is always obtained regardless of the thickness D1, D2 of the material which constitutes the wall of the profile, it is proposed, according to the invention, that the upper transverse part 4 of the cover 3 is articulated on the frame profile and that the sides 5 of the cover 3 have an elastic structure. Application to windows, doors and the like.

Description

Frame profile for windows or doors, with openings

flow of water.

  The invention relates to a frame profile, in particular for windows or doors, with water flow openings, each of which is covered by a hood-shaped lid, which allows the water to flow downwards and is attached to the profile

  frame by snap arms.

  In a water flow device according to the model

  of German utility 8.120.338, there are already described

  0 keys with snap arms, which must compensate for the wall thickness tolerances of aluminum profiles or

  of synthetic material used. For this purpose, the arms of

  ratcheting are provided at their attachment end with an elastic tongue forming an acute angle, which comprises a row of detent teeth at its free end. The disadvantage of this embodiment is that one obtains, according to the wall thickness of the profile, a variable angle width for the tongue, and therefore a different quality of attachment. The invention therefore aims to give the lid

  such a shape that one always obtains a static

  whatever the thickness of the material constituting the

wall of the profile.

  This object is achieved, according to the invention, thanks to the fact that the upper transverse part of the lid is

  articulated on the frame profile and that the flanks of the neck

  vercle have an elastic structure.

  The extensibility of the flanks makes it possible to obtain

  simple, a snap with the same snap dimension.

  The flanks of the lid are preferably tapered towards

their end.

  To prevent the effect of wind on the openings of

  of water - and therefore a water inlet therein -, the lid comprises, according to a preferred embodiment

  of the invention, a horizontal tongue with elastic structure

  that the lower end rests against the profile of

  frame below the water flow opening. The LAN-

  preferably extends at least between the locking arms

  ging. The fixing of the cover on the frame profile is done,

  advantageously, so that the snap arms

  engage in the opening of the water flow and

  crocheting behind her. According to another embodiment, the snap arms engage in separate holes

  the opening of the water flow.

  The invention will be described in more detail by means of the following embodiment and the accompanying drawings, in which: Figure 1 is a vertical section of a frame profile having a cover for flow openings 2 is a vertical section of an enlarged lid, FIG. 3 is a bottom view of the lid, with two different thicknesses of profile wall, and FIG. FIG. 4 is a front view of the cover, also

  with two different thicknesses of profile wall.

  The light metal frame profile 1 has a row of slotted water-flow openings 2 of length L (see Fig. 3) for the condensation water which

  forms at the bottom of the rabbet. The openings 2 of

  water are respectively surmounted by hood-shaped lids 3 which consist of short pieces

  made of synthetic material. The covers 3 comprise a part

  upper transverse tie 4 and flanks 5 with elastic structure. The covers 3 are open towards the profile of

  frame 1 and down, so that water is free to

sink down.

  The covers 3 are fixed to the frame profile 1 by snap arms 6. In addition, the upper transverse portion 4 is hinged to the frame section 1, and the elastic flanks 5 could be adjusted according to the thickness of the wall 7 of the frame profile 1. In this embodiment, the detent arms 6 engage in the water flow opening 2, the wall 7 of the profile being hooked by the detent projections 6 6. But the snap arms 6 could also engage in holes distinct from the openings 2

flow of water.

  FIG. 3 shows that the same fastening dimension H is obtained regardless of the thickness of the wall 7 of the profile (the thicknesses D1 and D2 are represented). The attachment dimension H is here the extent to which the detent projection 6 'of the detent arm 6 catches the wall 7 of the profile. We also see the position of the elastic flanks 5 for the thicknesses D1 and D2 of the wall 7 of the profile. For the thickness D2, the position of the flanks 5 is shown in dashed line. In this case, the flanks 5 are

  further apart to the outside.

  In Figure 3, it is also clearly visible that

  the flanks 5 are tapered towards their end.

  To reduce the effect of the wind on the opening 2 of

  water, the lid 3 has a horizontal tongue

  zontal 8, elastic structure, the end 8 'rests against the frame section 1 below the opening 2 of water flow. As shown in Figures 3 and 4,

  the tongue 8 extends between the two locking arms 6.

  The function of this tab 8 is also independent

  the thickness of the wall 7 of the profile.

  FIG. 4 finally shows a front view of the cover 3, where the position of the flanks 5, in the case of a large

  thickness D2 of the wall 7 of the profile, is again represented

dotted.
