Description

1 2787499

  The invention relates to a door, window or any other panel frame, constituted by an assembly of metal or plastic profile and defining, internally, a peripheral rebate for the reception of any cladding panel, at the level of this rebate being provided, in addition, means for

  reception, in particular by clipping, of a barrier.

  The present invention relates, in particular, to the

  building joinery area.

  It is clear that most of these door, window or similar frames, formed by an assembly of profiles, respond to

the description above.

  In particular, the profiles used, whether plastic or metallic, have, at one of their longitudinal sides, a shoulder which is originally, after their assembly to define a frame, the interior rebate to which reference has been made above and which is intended to accommodate any paneling. In particular, this panel can be made of wood or even of plastic material possibly integrating an insulating material, knowing that it can still be

defined by suitable glazing.

  Thus, if this covering panel comes to bear against the peripheral shoulder present at the level of this internal rabbet, its maintenance in position is usually ensured by means of a closed barrier. This is usually in the form of rods from a profile made of a material identical to the frame that has just been fixed at the latter, very

  frequently by simple interlocking.

  Also, at the level of this internal rebate of the frame are

  provided means for receiving by clipping such a barrier.

  Substantially, it is usually a "T" groove present at the side of the rebate extending perpendicular to the plane of the frame. As for the barrier, it frequently takes the form of a profile provided with two wings configured as a hook adapted to cooperate with the "U" groove.

  The problem associated with such a design lies in the fact that the maintenance of the covering panel in its frame depends, strictly, on the mechanical strength offered by the fixing, by clipping, of the barrier against the internal rebate of this frame. . Also, it is not uncommon that under the effect of a violent push or a shock produced, for example, by a mass, such a barrier comes to come loose releasing, at the same time, the panel d 'dressing. It has also been observed that for aesthetic reasons, the covering panel can be made up of several parts adopting asymmetrical arrangements with respect to each other and made up of separate materials, which in certain cases has the consequence , to bring this covering panel to exert lateral thrusts on the frame. However, when the latter has a certain height, its uprights, under the action of such lateral thrusts, can deform. Of course, in the case of a door or a window, such deformations hamper their proper functioning insofar as the opening is

  no longer able to meet the dimensions of the frame.

  Ultimately, the present invention proposes to remedy,

  in a simple and effective manner, to the aforementioned problems.

  In particular, the invention relates to a door, window or any other panel frame, constituted by an assembly of metal or plastic profiles and defining, internally, a peripheral rebate for the reception of any cladding panel, at this rebate being provided, in addition, means for receiving, in particular by clipping, a barrier, characterized in that at this internal rebate, on the side extending substantially perpendicular to the plane of the frame, are provided hooking means with which are brought to cooperate complementary hooking means associated with a wing, extending parallel to this side, of a reinforcing angle whose other wing, arranged perpendicularly, either parallel to the plane of

  frame, is provided to ensure the maintenance of the panel

of dressing in this frame.

  Ultimately, the present invention responds to the problem posed by ensuring the maintenance of the covering panel in the frame, not simply by means of the barrier, but through an angle iron, preferably of the metal type. , one wing of which is securely attached, using means

  appropriate hooking, to said frame.

  Consequently, under the action of a violent push exerted from the outside on the trim panel, the latter comes to transmit this push on the angle iron firmly anchored to the

  level of the profiles making up the frame.

  In particular, the attachment means at this internal rabbet of the frame may be in the form of "T" buttons defined, for example, by simple heads of fixing screws, on these "T" buttons being in able to fit buttonholes, of suitable shape and defining additional attachment means, provided at one of the

  wings of said reinforcing angle.

  Coming to extend over at least part of the uprights or even, if necessary also of the sleepers, of the frame, such reinforcing angles stiffen the latter preventing it from deforming, in the event of lateral thrusts exerted by the cover panel. Other objects and advantages of the present invention

  will appear during the description which follows relating to

  to an embodiment which is given only by way of example

indicative and not limiting.

  Understanding this description will be facilitated by

  referring to the attached drawings in which: - Figure 1 is a schematic representation of a frame according to the invention; FIGS. 2, 3, 4, 5 and 6 illustrating the different stages of fitting a covering panel in a frame, in accordance with the invention, taking into account that:

  Figure 2 corresponds to a partial schematic representation in section of the detail identified A in Figure 1, following the installation of the covering panel; Figure 3 is a representation similar to Figure 2 and illustrating the first step of installing the reinforcing angle; Figure 4 is a representation similar to the previous two figures, illustrating a second step during this installation of this reinforcing angle; Figure 5 shows a perspective, schematically and in the form of a partial section, of detail A, the reinforcement angle being placed; Figure 6 is a schematic representation in partial section of detail A of Figure 1, this after engagement of the barrier. As shown in Figure 1 of the accompanying drawing, the present invention relates to a frame i corresponding, for example, to a door or window frame or any other type of panel. Such a frame 1 is constituted by the assembly of metal or plastic profiles 2 configured so as to define, internally to this frame 1, a peripheral rebate 3 (as can be seen in FIGS. 2 to 6) for the reception of 'Any cover panel 4. Thus, such a covering panel 4 can be constituted by a wooden board or a possibly insulating synthetic material, or by a

adapted glazing.

  More particularly, at this rebate 3 there is a shoulder 5 which is defined by a flange 6 extending internally to the frame 1, ie parallel to the plane 7 of the latter. Generally, this rim 6 is offset relative to this plane 7 of the frame 1, this, in the case of a door or window, on the side 8 intended to be oriented towards the outside of the dwelling. It is therefore against this shoulder 5 that the panel comes to bear.

dressing 4.

  In addition, at this rebate 3, on the side 9 extending substantially perpendicular to the plane 7, there is also the presence of receiving means 10,

  in particular by clipping, of a barrier 11 (see Figures 1 and 6).

  In particular, such receiving means 10 take the form of a "T" groove 12, the mouth 13 of which is bordered on either side by a rim 14, 15 forming a hooking rim for the wall. -close 11. This is generally defined by a section 16 shown, here, in a nonlimiting manner, of section approximately in "U" shape, in a material often identical to the sections 2 defining the frame 1. More particularly, a such profile 16 is provided with wings 18, 19 configured in the form of a hook adapted to cooperate with said hooking edges

14, 15.

  According to a feature of the present invention, at the level of said rebate 3, on the side 9 which, as previously indicated, extends perpendicular to the plane 7 of the frame 1, are still provided hooking means 20 with which are able to cooperate complementary hooking means 21 associated with a wing 22, extending parallel to this side 9, of a reinforcing angle 23 whose other wing 24, arranged parallel to the plane 7 of the frame 1, is provided at even maintain the panel

4 in this frame 1.

  Substantially, the hooking means 20 are defined by at least one T-shaped button 25 formed at this side 9 of the rebate 3 and capable of being received by a suitable buttonhole 26 produced at the wing 22 of the reinforcing angle 23 and defining said attachment means

complementary 21.

  Note that if a "T" button 25 can be defined by the head 27 of a fixing screw 28, the buttonhole 26 is, advantageously and as visible more particularly in FIG. 5, in the form of a first cutout 29 made perpendicularly in the wing 22 of the reinforcement angle 23,

6 2787499

  this cutout 29 communicating with an oblong opening 30

  extending along the longitudinal axis 31 of this wing 22.

  Thus, as can be seen in FIG. 3, after fitting the covering panel 4, the wing 22 of the reinforcing angle 23 can be introduced, in a direction perpendicular to the plane of the frame 1, between the latter and the said panel. covering 4 by engaging the cutout (s) 29 on the body 32 defined, here, by the rod of the fixing screw 28 of the "T" button (s) 25 this until this or these "T" button (s) 25 coincide with the oblong opening (s) 30 so as to be able to make them penetrate into the latter by pushing the angle of

  reinforcement 23 in a direction 33 parallel to the plane 7 of the frame 1.

  Note, as can be seen more particularly in FIG. 4, that the angle 34 defined by the wings 22, 24 of the reinforcement angle 23 can be provided capable of coming to cooperate with a shoulder forming, in a way, a step at the level of the side 9 of the

rebate 3.

  Thus, as precisely illustrated in this FIG. 4, once the reinforcement angle 23 engaged on the button or buttons "T" 25, it is pushed back to the front of this shoulder 35, before sliding it in the direction 33 this as indicated

in Figure 5.

  As shown in FIG. 6, the wing 24 of this reinforcing angle 23, then being positioned as a surface against the covering panel 4, (generally on the internal side 36 of the latter), can be provided with openings 37 for the passage of fasteners 38, such as screws or the like, making it possible

  directly attached to this covering panel 4.

  In a final operation, the profiles 16 are clipped defining the barrier 11 at the receiving means 10

in rebate 3 of frame 1.

  It should be noted that if the reinforcing angle 23 can extend over the entire length of an upright or a cross member of the frame 1, it can also be in the form of sections of

7 2787499

  angle iron with smaller dimensions installed locally in

rebate 3 of frame 1.

  Finally, as can be seen from the above description,

  the present invention makes it possible to advantageously remedy the problems of the state of the art in the sense that any thrust exerted on the covering panel which the frame 1 receives is no longer, simply, passed on to the wall - close 11,

  but directly on the profiles making up this frame.

  In addition, such reinforcing angles improve the rigidity of these profiles 2 defining the frame which gains in stability.

dimensional over time.

  Accordingly, the present invention represents progress

  substantial in the technical field concerned.

  Although the invention has been described with reference to a particular embodiment, it is understood that it is in no way limited thereto and that it is possible to make various modifications to the forms, materials and combinations of these. various elements

  without departing from the scope and spirit of the invention.
