DESCRIPTION

  The present invention relates to the building sector, more particularly the obtaining of bays or passage openings, and has for its object

  a device for fixing a frame / opening assembly (s).

  Given the different filling possibilities (glass, opaque, reinforced walls, etc.), which are frequently very heavy, in particular in the event of burglary or / and soundproofing requirements, the hinges undergo significant forces which are according to the current construction methods transmitted to the structural work via a reinforced frame or not, more or less

elastic and deformable.

  Initially, the hinge is fixed to the frame with machine screws taken from the reinforcement with a thickness generally between 1.5 and 2.2 mm and which, for reasons of implementation in hollow profiles in synthetic material, especially polyvinyl chloride (PVC), has a clearance of about 0.5 to 1.5 mm. The frame thus fixed is then fixed to the shell or an equivalent support by means of through screws, by means of sealing lugs or brackets fixed to the frame, by stapling in PVC, or even by screwing on the frame at small self-tapping screws

  diameter (usually 4 mm only).

  This indirect transmission of the forces undergone and generated by the opening or opening mounted on the frame considered does not guarantee a rigid connection between the opening and the structural work or the like and constitutes a factor of weakening and limiting the resistance. , in particular in the context of burglar-resistant embodiments, even in the case of implementation of

  oversized reinforcement profiles.

  In addition, the fixing means generally have no means for adjusting the spacing or adaptation relative to the main structure, and it

  is often carried out by a tiresome setting.

  Similar problems arise at the locking points between the frame and opening (s), generally formed by a movable locking member mounted on the opening and engaging in a suitable fitting element mounted on said frame or in a cutout. forming a keeper spared in

said dormant.

  -2- The forces transmitted at these locking points therefore pass through current constructions also through the frame body,

  before being taken up at the structural level.

  The present invention aims in particular to overcome at least some of the aforementioned drawbacks. To this end, it relates to a device for fixing a frame / opening assembly (s), in particular produced by means of hollow profiles on the shell, a wall or a similar support element intended to receive said assembly, characterized in what it mainly consists of at least one rigid connecting piece comprising a first flat part on which is fixed the fixed part of a mounting or locking means of the opening on the frame or extending at the level a keeper formed in the frame, and by at least a second part intended to be secured to the shell, the wall or the element

  similar support or with an anchor fixed to the latter.

  The invention will be better understood from the following description, which

  relates to preferred embodiments, given by way of nonlimiting examples, and explained with reference to the appended schematic drawings, in which: Figure I is a partial sectional view of a frame / opening assembly secured to the main structure by means of a fixing device according to a first variant of a first embodiment of the invention; Figure 2 is a partial sectional view of a frame / opening assembly secured to the shell by means of a fixing device according to a second variant of a first embodiment of the invention Figure 3 is a partial view in section of a frame / opening assembly secured to the shell by means of a fixing device according to a first variant of a second embodiment of the invention; Figure 4 is an exploded perspective view of a fixing device according to a second variant of a second embodiment of the invention; FIG. 5 is a partial sectional view of a frame / opening assembly secured to the main structure by means of a fixing device according to a second variant of a second embodiment of the invention, and, FIG. 6 is a partial sectional view of a frame / opening assembly secured to the main structure by means of a fixing device according to a second variant of a second embodiment of the invention, the arrangement of

  the connection being different from that shown in FIG. 5.

  -3 - Figures I to 3, 5 and 6 of the accompanying drawings show different possible implementations of fastening devices for securing a frame assembly I / opening (s) 2, in particular produced by means of hollow profiles 1 'and 2' corresponding, with the shell, a wall or a similar support element 3 intended to receive said assembly 1, 2. According to the invention, such a fixing device is mainly constituted by at least one rigid connecting piece 4 comprising a first flat part 4 ′ on which the fixed part 5 ′ is fixed a mounting or locking means 5 of the leaf on the frame 1 ′, for example of the hinge type or of grooved fitting element, or extending at a strike formed in the frame 1, and by at least a second part 4 "intended to be secured to the shell, the wall or the similar support element 3 or with

  an anchor 6 attached to the latter.

  Thus, the forces supported by the means 5 for mounting and articulation of the openings 2 or generated at the locking points between the frame and the openings, are directly transmitted to the shell or to the similar support element 3 without passing through the profile 1 'and / or the reinforcement profile 7 of the

sleeping 1.

  In addition, as shown in the aforementioned figures, said connecting piece 4 of course also ensures the fixing of the frame I on the structural work or the like 3, preferably being secured to the profile 1 'and / or a reinforcing profile 7 in several places through the first part

  4 ′, so as to distribute the forces over an extended area of said sections 1 ′ and / or 7.

  In the particular case of a frame I formed from hollow profile portions 1 ′ made of a synthetic material integrating a reinforcing profile 7, the first part 4 ′ preferably extends between said reinforcing profile 1 ″ and the fixed part ′ means 5 for mounting, or if necessary locking, the opening 2 relative to the frame 1, preferably being covered by a corresponding outer wall portion 1 "of the hollow profile 1 ', so as not to alter

  the aesthetic appearance of the frame 1.

  The first part 4 'of the connecting piece 4 is therefore introduced laterally in the profile 1' of the frame 1, in which is formed

  a corresponding slot-like opening. for example by milling.

  Advantageously, the thickness of said first part 4 ′ will preferably be substantially equal to the distance separating the reinforcement profile 7 from the outer wall portion 1 "of the profile 1 'so as to be able to provide a connection with supports" full "between the fixed part 5 'of the hinge 5 and the profile

reinforcement 7.

  The fixed part 5 ′ of the locking means or means could consist, for example, of a slot-shaped opening made in the PVC profile and the reinforcement profile forming the body of the frame I or in a fitting element, with a groove or grooved, fixed on the reinforcement profile 7, through the first part

  plane 4 'of a connecting piece 4 or not.

  Consequently, the assembly of the fixed part 5 ′ of the locking means integral with the frame I with the first part 4 ′ of the connecting piece 4 can be carried out either by direct fixing on the latter, or by a

  attachment to the reinforcing profile 7 at the height of such a connecting piece 4.

  In addition, the reinforcing profile 7 is no longer stressed by the forces transmitted by the hinges 5, nor by the torsional forces generated at the locking points, it can be lightened to ensure only its function

  first, namely to stabilize the PVC frame I.

  Depending on the configuration of the mounting area at the structural work or similar support element 3, each connecting piece 4 can be either in the form of a section portion of L-shaped section, or under the shape of a section portion with a Z section, the first and second parts 4 ′ and 4 "then forming the lateral wings of said profile and being joined by a middle portion 4" ′, preferably planar and extending substantially

  perpendicular to said first and second parts 4 'and 4 ".

  The first and / or second part 4 ′, 4 "of the connecting piece 4 in the form of an L-shaped angle iron can be provided with oblong orifices 9, 11 for the passage of the corresponding securing means (screws or the like). Likewise, at least the second part 4 "of the connecting piece 4 in the form of a Z-section profile may also be provided with oblong orifices 1 I for the passage of means.

  of attachment to the support (structural work or other).

  The fixing device may in particular have a conformation such that it ensures, on the one hand, an application of the frame I against a bearing surface of the shell or of the support element 3, by pinching the profile I between the first part 4 'and said bearing surface, and allows, on the other hand, easy access to the fastening elements (for example screws) with the shell

or the support element 3.

  In accordance with a first embodiment of the invention, the fixing device may consist only of a connecting piece 4

  as described above (Figures I and 2).

  -5- According to a second embodiment of the invention, shown in Figures 3 to 6 of the accompanying drawings, said fixing device can also be constituted, on the one hand, by a connecting piece 4 in the form of a section portion of L-shaped section, comprising a first flat part 4 ′ on which the fixed part 5 ′ is fixed to a mounting or locking means 5 of the leaf 2 and, on the other hand, by an anchoring part 6 comprising at least a first part 6 'intended to be secured to the shell, the wall or the support element 3 and a second part 6 "intended to cooperate with the second part 4" of the part link 4 for the rigid assembly of this

  last with said anchor 6.

  In order to allow a first type of adjustment of the positioning of the frame assembly I / opening (s) 2 relative to the shell or similar support element 3, the second parts 4 "and 6" respectively of the connecting piece 4 and of the anchoring part 6 have planar structures and each comprise at least one oblong orifice 8, 9 for the passage of a fastening element 10 (screw or other), the longitudinal axes 8 ', 9' of said oblong orifices 8 , 9 being mutually perpendicular and intersecting during the assembly of parts 4 and 6 for the mounting of the frame assembly I /

opening (s) 2.

  According to a first alternative embodiment, the first and second parts 6 ′ and 6 ″ of the anchoring part 6 are coplanar, the latter consisting

  for example in a single piece plate (Figure 3 of the accompanying drawings).

  According to a second alternative embodiment, represented in FIGS. 4 to 6 of the appended drawings, the first and second parts 6 ′ and 6 ″ of the anchoring part 6 form the two wings of a section portion with an L-shaped section. so as to be able to have an additional possibility of adjusting the positioning allowing, in combination with the preceding provisions, adjustments in height, depth and width, the first part 6 ′ of the anchoring part 6 is provided with at least two oblong holes I 1, the longitudinal axes 11 'of which are contained in planes parallel to the plane containing the longitudinal axis or axes 9' of the oblong hole (s) 9

  in the second part 6 "of the anchoring part 6.

  Thanks to the oblong holes 9 and 1 in the case of the first embodiment and to the oblong holes 8, 9 and 11 in the case of the second embodiment, it will be possible to easily adjust the positioning of the frame / opening assembly ( s) in relation to the shell or the support -6-
