Description

The present invention relates to a glazed leaf,

  in particular with adjustment of glazing squareness, of the type comprising

  a wooden frame without bead which comprises two uprights and two cross members and, on its inner periphery, a continuous groove to receive said glazing. Known glazed leaves, especially those equipped with thermal insulation glazing with double * glass and blade

  of air, generally include the following elements:

  ants: - a frame provided with appropriate fittings and

  having on its inner side a rebate

  glazing ception, - a first seal placed against the rabbet flank and against which a face of the glazing is applied., the glazing itself, - a second seal placed against the second face of the glazing,

  - squaring wedges - placed between the sides -

  of the glazing and the inner surfaces corresponding to

  of the frame, that is to say the rebate bottom, and

  - a glaze against the second garnish

  seal and attached to the respective elements

coaching.

  In most known projects, the

  squares are arranged in pairs of ortho-

  gonaux in two diagonally opposite angles of the leaf, to

  -the opposite angle to the shoe and the lower angle

  placed on the side of the shoe. The thicknesses of the holds

  are chosen for assembly according to the existing conditions--

  which necessitates adaptation operations fairly

delicate and delicate.

  An object of the present invention is to provide a glazed leaf, in particular with glazing squaring adjustment, of the type comprising a wooden frame without glazing bead of

  to facilitate design and assembly.

  Due to the lack of clipping, which always suppresses

  the possibility of modifying the squareness adjustment after assembly, to subsequently compensate for a squareness defect without restarting the leaf, another object of the invention is to propose an adjustment device

  appropriate squaring for the new and advantageous design

  of the glazed leaf according to the present invention. The ab-

  beading and the fixing points of these glazing beads that results increases the aesthetics of the leaf and promotes the durability of the coating products (paint, stain) since there is no extra thickness or point of attachment Thus, the glazed leaf according to the invention,

  which has two uprights and two sleepers and, on his

  inner groove, a continuous groove for said vitreous

  ge. is characterized in that it comprises, between the inner side of the groove and the glazing, a running gasket formed of a flexible material, especially an elastomer,

  in that the elements of supervision, that is to say the

  the uprights and the uprights are connected to each other by mechanical assembly with the interposition of means

  sealing, and in that the glazing groove

  the bottom rail of the frame includes several

  two water flow mortises that open onto the

  lower face of this lower rail.

  According to a first variant embodiment of the invention, at least one end of each cross member or

  each upright includes a substantially perpendicular groove

  to the glazing groove and shaped to receive

  part of a substantially parallel sealing block

  pedic, formed of a flexible material. especially an elastomer

  re, and whose other part is forcibly received in the groove

  glazing of the cross-beam or adjacent

  realization of the corresponding assembly being achieved by a screw whose head is accessible from the outside,

  in the upright or crossbar which does not have the groove

  end, and whose body extends in a 'bore of the aforementioned sealing block and in a recess of the amount or

  of the cross member which comprises said end groove, 'sen-

  sibly parallel to this amount or this cross.

  According to an advantageous characteristic of

  the invention, the thickness of said sealing block is slightly

  greater than the width of said end and glazing grooves so that the screwing of the assembly screw increases the seal provided by the sealing block by

  a phenomenon of dilation of this block.

  According to a preferred characteristic of the invention, the assembly sealing block is made

neoprene or EPDM.

  According to another embodiment of the invention, at least one end of each cross-member or

  each amount includes a protrusion, the inner surface of which

  the projection extends the corresponding glazing groove and is shaped to fit, by embossing, into the glazing groove of the adjacent stud or crossbeam, said projection being at least partially surrounded by a substantially U-shaped seal and formed a

  flexible material such as an elastomer.

  According to another advantageous feature of the invention, the inner wall of the glazing groove has a shoulder on which the glazing seal is supported. This shoulder provides a bearing or wedging surface for said glazing seal which advantageously avoids

  the vibrations of the glazing in the frame.

  According to another aspect. of the invention, the leaf

  glazed groove type including squaring wedges.

  comprises a squaring adjusting device comprising a means for biasing at least one window glazing

  way to push it towards the glazing, to

  blir the squareness of the latter in relation to the other holds. Advantageously, said glaze shim biasing means passes through the corresponding framing member so as to be operable from outside thereof. For this purpose, said squaring wedge biasing means comprises a screw whose axis is perpendicular to the biasing face of the wedge and which is screwed into a nut or other threaded member embedded in the corresponding frame member. this screw being housed in a hole in said framing element so that its

  head is accessible from the outside, without exceeding the

drement.

  According to yet another advantageous aspect of

  the invention, the outer faces of the frame elements

  stained glass are shaped to receive, by clipping,

  a metal cowling which is preferably a sheet of paper

  aluminum. Said metal cowling, very easy to

  put in place, remove maintenance from outside parties

  the leaf in operation and promotes its durability.

  Other features and benefits of

  the invention will emerge again from the description which will

according to the invention.

  In the figures, two examples of

  glazed leaf, with squared adjustment of

  essentially of a type

  wood without bead which has two amounts 3 and two

  verses 2 and, on its inner periphery. a continuous groove 12 to accommodate the glazing I of the leaf. One leaf

  of this kind has already been described in FR-A-2533253

to the present applicant.

  i5 The teaching of this patent is introduced as a

  reference in this list.

  In the known embodiments, the glazing is mounted in the frame of the leaf whose élémrents

  framing (uprights and crosspieces) include a sheet

  lure on the side of which one comes to place a garnish

  sealing. Then we put in place the glazing and we ef-

  makes its rigging, and at the same time its squareness, using wedges as will be specified later. Then we put in place a second seal on which we

  comes to fix a stopper with the help of appropriate organs,

  tilt screws. The holds are distributed over the four

  framing according to the clearance between them and the glazing, which is a long and delicate operation, which also provides no opportunity to change the setting after assembly without restarting the

  leaf. The same disadvantage is encountered during a change

glazing.

  The glazed leaf according to the invention allows.

  simplify the assembly and squaring operations, firstly by removing the usual glazing beads and secondly by a squaring adjustment system operable from

  outside, that is to say, allowing adaptation of the

  at any time during the manufacture and use of the leaf. As shown in the figures, in particular FIG. 5, the frame consisting of amounts such as 3

  and sleepers such as 2, is provided with a circumferential groove

  internal phérique 12 intended to receive the glazing 1.

  Between this window I and the inside wall of the wall

  groove 12, there is provided a seal 4, called "spinning", whose section has a generally shaped

  of L and which is formed of a flexible material such as elasto-

  mother. The aforementioned glazing joint 4, which advantageously extends

  the entire length of the glazing groove 12 of each crossmember 2 and of each upright 3 is mounted in abutment on an internal shoulder 13 of the groove 12 which in particular provides a very good wedging of the glazing in the groove

  12 and against the glazing seal 4 so that the vibra-

  glazing in its frame are reduced to. mini-

  mum. According to another advantageous characteristic of the invention, the sleepers 2 and the uprights 3 are connected

  to each other by mechanical assembly with interposi-

  assembly sealing means 5 that we are going to

holding describing in detail.

  According to a first embodiment variant of

  the invention, shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, each

  mite of each crossbeam 2, for example, or of each amount

  3 comprises an end groove perpendicular to the rim.

  glazing unit 12 and opening towards the glazing groove of the adjacent framing member. This end groove

  is shaped to receive a part, that is, sensi-

  half of a sealing block 5 of parallel shape

  the elipiped, formed of a flexible material such as a

  elastomer. and of which the other part or half is received at.

  force in the glazing groove 12 of the cross member 2 or the adjacent post 3. The joining of the two framing elements, the sealing of which is achieved in this way, is secured by a screw 7 whose head 7a is accessible, from outside the frame, in the upright 3 or crossbar 2 that does not have the groove

  referred to above, and whose body 7b (see in particular

  Figures I and 2) extends in a bore of the sealing block 5 and in a recess of the upright 3 or the

  crosspiece which includes said end groove, which is

  parallel to this amount 3 or to this crossing 2.

  According to an advantageous characteristic of the invention, the thickness of the sealing block 5, which is preferably made of neoprene or EPDM, is slightly

  i5 greater than the width of the end grooves and vi-

  tring, so that the screwing of the screw 7 in order to assemble the relevant frame elements, reinforces

  the tightness provided by the block 5 by expansion under compression

pressure of it.

  The implementation of the sealing block 5 facilitates the mounting of the frame because it is easy to implement and does not require a particular conformation

  adapted framework elements for the said implementation.

this.

  However, the invention proposes a second variation

  implementation (see Figure 4), in which each

  tremity of each crossbeam 2 or each amount 3 includes

  a protrusion 2a, made of material with the frame element

  correspondingly. The upper inner face of said projection 2a extends the glazing groove 12 of the element

  corresponding frame, while this projection-or ex-

  tension is shaped to be housed, by emboitement type tenonmortaise, in the glazing groove of the upright 3 or the adjacent cross 2. In order to ensure the tightness of the assembly thus produced, the faces of the projection 2a which come into contact with the corresponding faces of the glazing groove 12 which receives it, are covered with a substantially shaped sealing gasket 5 U shaped and formed

  a flexible material such as an elastomer.

  The squares C1, C2 of the glazing 1 are arranged in pairs in two corner portions of the leaf, that is to say for example the lower corner on the side of the shoe and the diagonally opposite upper corner, this

  provision is not, however, restrictive. In the example

  C1, C2 shims are constituted by platelets of metal or synthetic material which have in cross section a profile appropriate to that of the groove of

  glazing 12 in which they are placed.

  Each squaring wedge C1 or C2 is arranged (see in particular Figure I) - in correspondence with a

  hole 20 pierced through the frame member 3 cor-

  sponding. Instead of this hole, a nut is provided

  embedded in which is screwed a screw 22 whose upper end

  The upper end may be provided with a six-sided hollow, as indicated at 23, while its lower end 24 is provided with a projecting part, for example an annular rib,

  so as to apply effectively against the C2 wedge.

  The squaring adjustment is carried out as follows using the aforementioned device, generally designated by R in Figures I and 3. The shims C1 and C2 which have been engaged in the glazing groove 12

  apply elastically against the bottom of this groove.

  This provides a flexible maintenance of the glazing in position in the frame without involving bead. To adjust the squareness after mounting the glazing, simply turn the screw 22 in the nut 21 to exert a thrust on the block C2 and therefore on the glazing I until it takes the position correct in his dwelling. This operation is performed from outside the frame by engaging a screwdriver or a key in the hole 20 of the cross. Such a structure is

  quite different from the known achievements in the-

  which links between the glazing, the holds and

  framing are rigid and do not allow any adapta-

  otherwise than by calibration of the holds.

  Because there is no sealing gasket

  the glazing I and the sidewall of the outer wall of the glazing groove 12 of each framing element, it is

  should be provided with means to evacuate the water which

  It is possible to infiltrate the glazing groove 12. For this purpose, the glazing groove 12 of the lower cross member 2 of the frame of the leaf according to the invention comprises several mortises 6 (see in particular FIGS. 4 and 5). water flow which preferably extends substantially regularly spaced about halfway along the length of said glazing groove and which opens out on the lower face of said bottom rail as is clear from FIG. 5. The mortises 6 are

  inclined groove 12 to the outside. advantageously

  said lower face of the lower rail 2 of

  the frame is shaped so as to overhang an over-

  corresponding flow face of the support element or

  dormant 10 associated with the leaf of the invention. Said mortalities

  advantageously replace the devices called

"water jet" known leaves.

  According to yet another advantageous aspect of the invention which has not been detailed in the figures, the faces

  the outer parts of frame 2 and 3 are

  to receive a metal cowling which is maintained

  on these by clipping. Said cowling, which is advantageous

  a sheet of aluminum, does not pose any problem of implementation, that is to say that its implementation can be easily achieved industrially, and provides the advantage of eliminating the maintenance of the outer parts of the leaves who are equipped with them as well as to ensure their durability with an additional cost of relatively low cost.

  The invention proposes in summary a new concept

  glazed wooden leaf whose industrial production

  trielle is easier compared to that of known leaves, and whose current use also presents

  Commrrnnodities compared to the leaves of the prior art.

  The absence of clasp and that of the attachment points of these clusters which results increases furthermore

  the aesthetics of the leaf and promotes the durability of

  coatings (paint, stain) since there are no longer

  neither extra thickness nor point of attachment.

  The reference signs inserted after the

  technical features mentioned in the claims,

  the sole purpose of which is to facilitate the understanding of these

  and in no way limit its scope.
