FR2741106A1 - Fixing of removable transom on French window, door, partition wall or ceiling - Google Patents

Abstract

The removable transom (2) has on its perimeter round pegs (4) which pass through its edges. These pegs are placed in round or oblong holes located on the top and bottom of the French window support (1) which contains a window (3). Notches in the sides of the support enable anchoring of the removable transom by inserting the pegs in the corresponding holes and notches in the fixed support.

Description

The present invention relates to a system for attaching removable braces or any other removable panel to a window door, a window or a partition or ceiling.

The object of the invention relates to the technical sector of building, carpentry and cabinetmaking, more particularly doors, windows, partitions or false ceilings.

Doors or windows with crossbars are very elegant but have a drawback: the separation by the crossbars of each small window makes cleaning tedious and difficult and this work becomes very long and represents a waste of time when they are many in a house.

To overcome this drawback, the present invention describes a very simple system for attaching removable braces.

The braces are kept inside a frame which is hung on the French window. This cross frame once unhooked allows access to a single entire window fixed in a frame inside the door. We can therefore set up a whole window in the window door and no longer have to fix a multitude of small windows, thereby reducing the number of cuts to be made in the glass. In addition, it will no longer be necessary to clean each small window, but there is a large glass surface that is easy to clean and on which the braces will be repositioned. The fastening system makes it easy and quick to remove and replace this frame in a jiffy.

This device also makes it possible to give another aesthetic appearance to doors, windows, doors-fengtreJ, by the addition of one or two cross-braced frames fixed on either side thereof, while retaining the advantage a large window.

The advantages of these removable frames are indeed multiple, because in addition to the easy cleaning of the glass, the painting or varnishing of the crosspieces is very easy because they are separated from the glass.

This fixing system is characterized in that it comprises on the contour of the removable part of the round tabs or pegs protruding from the frame, and on the fixed part (door, window, ect.) Round or oblong holes on the naut and the bottom and notches or engorgement of specific shape on the dimensions, allowing to hang the removable part by inserting the tabs in the corresponding holes and notches of the fixed part. These characteristics will be repeated and explained in detail in the remainder of this description.

The removable parts are frames coz? Ortantant internally crosspieces intended to be fixed on either side of a window door or the leaf of a fengtree and the part fixes the interior frame thereof which allows the setting in place of the glass.

The cross frame can also be mounted as a cNtt of the window, the rebate of the frame of the azure side of the window being deeper to camouflage the fastening system of the cross bars.

This fixing system can be used with solid frames or frames provided with panels intended to be fixed on either side of a door with or without glass. This allows, for example, to protect the glass of a French window with a removable full panel or to transform a removable cross door into a solid door.

The system also applies to assemblies of solid frames or panels, intended to be removably fixed to a frame or frame itself fixed to a wall, a partition, or a ceiling. This allows for false ceilings or removable partitions.

To explain this invention well, the few attached figures give a more detailed view:
Figure 1 is a front view of a removable lattice door.

Figure 2 shows us the door without the cross frame with on a larger scale the details of the holes and notches.

Figure 3 is a view of the interior of the removable frame having the braces.

Figure 4 is a section along line A-A and B-B of a door having removable lattice frames with and without the lattices, and with larger scale details of the hanging system from above and below.

Figure 5 shows in a perspective view how to place the frame to hang it on the door.

Figure 6 shows in perspective view the 3rd movement to be carried out to fix the frame.

Figure 7 shows a perspective view of a window with removable braces on the two sides thanks to this c @ system.

Figure 8 shows a perspective view of a window with the braces on one side.

In order to further detail the object of this invention, the following description incorporates its characteristics in a nonlimiting manner and with reference to the figures of the drawings. We see in Figure 1 a French window (11 of an apparently known embodiment, but which differs from standard French windows by its braces fixed on a removable frame (2).

The exterior appearance does not, however, distinguish it from a normal French window. The braces are fixed on either side of the door. A whole window (3), the size of the frame, is conventionally held in the middle of the door, by means of cleats or rods.

FIG. 2, diagram of the door from which the braces have been removed, makes it possible to view the entire window (3) which is thus very easily accessible for cleaning its entire surface. The enlarged details make it possible to see the realization of the female part, on the sides of the door, of the attachment system of the spider frame. Indeed, view a shows us the holes made on the top of the door, here shown in the form of oblong holes (5).

The oblong holes allow when setting up the cross-over frame (2) to have a little horizontal play, but circular holes can also be used when the production is done very precisely or in large series. The diameter of the holes should be 8 mm for cleats with a diameter of 6 mm. The drilling depth is approximately 15mm. Magnification c shows the oblong holes at the bottom (7), seen from the front and from above, made in the same way and identical to those at the top previously described.

The depth of these holes may be less (in. 10 mm).

Magnification b shows the notches (6) made on the sides of the door, in a specific shape, allowing the effective attachment of the frame and maintaining it on the side. These notches are made 20mm long and 8mm in diameter.

This enlargement shows the shape of the notches (6), front view and left view. In order to simplify the construction, the notches are made symmetrical on both sides of the door.

The holes at the top (5) and at the bottom (7) are likewise produced symmetrically. We will also take care to always keep the same distance between the wall and the holes and notches.

In Figure 3 showing the cross frame (2) from the inside, that is to say the side which is hung on the door, we see, on the outline, small round cleats (4) or 6 mm dowels of diameter arranged at equal distances from the edge and symmetrically, their positions corresponding to the positions of the holes (5,7) and notches (6) of the fixed part (1) on the door. The tabs (4) fixed on the upper part protrude 15mm from the frame in order to have a minimum Smm fixing on the fixed external frame of the door. the bottom tabs protrude 5mm. The tabs which are on the sides of the frame can protrude by 5 to 8 mm, dimension sufficient to allow them to enter the notches (6) of the fixed part, this dimension also depending on the thickness of the frame (2).

The dimensions of the cleats and notches or holes are given for information only and can be modified and varied proportionally.

Figure 4 section AA shows us the position of the notches (6l on the fixed frame (1) of the door. In order to reduce the angle of inclination of the frame when hanging or detaching it, a minimum dimension must be observed for the first lateral notch (here given at 400mm), the bottom notch must be closer to the edge (120mm).

Section B-B shows the section of a complete door with the cross-over frames (2) of each cOt6. The enlarged details a and b describe the hanging system from the top and bottom. Sufficient play is made on the top attachment between the cross-over frame (2) and the fixed cleat frame (8) of the door (1). This play is very important so as to be able, when hooking or unhooking, to push the cross-frame (2) upwards, then take it out at the bottom. Likewise to remove the frame, enough clearance is needed to unhook the tabs (4) from the bottom. The glass is fixed by cleats (8) between the two cross-braced frames (2).

Figures 5 and 6 show how to place the frame (2): insert the top of the cross-car in an inclined manner so as to introduce the small tabs (e) above into the holes (5) at the top of the door (Movement: ). Then put the right frame by bringing it against the window (3) of the door, while inserting the tabs on the sides in the top of the notches (6) (Movement 2). Figure 6 shows us the final movement which consists in pushing the frame, or sliding it down so that the tabs at the bottom also take in the holes (7) at the bottom of the door (Movement 3 of Figure 6) The frame is then securely attached.

To remove it, just do the same manipulations in reverse.

Figure 7 shows us another application of this hanging system: a window. Indeed these removable braces can just as easily be mounted on windows and give them a completely different appearance. The realization is done in the same way as for the doors: a window (9) is mounted in the traditional way (with cleats (13)) in the window (10); on the inside contour of the window are made the holes and notches as on the door. Hang a frame with crossbars (11) with tabs (12) on the outline on either side of the window (10). This can also be done well on one side of the window, as shown in Figure 8. Here, care must be taken to make the rabbet on the side frame without a spider deep enough to camouflage the fastening system of the spider frame. (11) which is on the other side. The rebate should effectively prevent seeing the tabs (12), especially those at the top, because the clearance required for the stall could be visible from the outside.

This invention is not limited to the few models indicated here. It can be applied on French windows, windows, solid doors, transormation of glazed doors into solid doors, removable partitions, false ceilings, ... other applications can easily use this fixing system.

The constituent elements can be made of different materials, in particular wood, plastic, aluminum, other metals,
The appearance of the cross-over frames or of the solid panels depending on the use can obviously include any moldings, of all profiles and sections. The dimensions of the cleats and the holes or notches can vary according to the solidity or robustness desired. The manufacturing can be simplified by the use of marking systems, especially for the drilling locations or the fixing locations of the cleats.

It should be noted above all that this fixing system is very practical for cleaning the windows of French windows or doors, that it is very simple to use and to implement. The assembly and disassembly of the frames is done very quickly, without any tools, because it has no screws or bolts
