Abstract

The hinge for an opening (3,3A) and fixed frame of a door or window, includes a rod guide part such as a catch or catch-lock, in the form of a corner plate designed to be mounted in a rebate at an angle between a transverse part (12,12A) and a door part (3,3A), and a striker (13,13A) designed to cooperate with an and of the operating rod (8) forming a locking mechanism, defined so as to project across an opening of one wing (18) of the corner plate of the guide. The wing (18) is adapted to form a raised pad while cooperating with the striker to position the opening in the frame when the door or window is closed.

Description

The invention relates to a fitting for a door leaf and a door frame,

  window or the like comprising, on the one hand, an operating rod exit guide, in particular of a bolt or lock bolt, in the form of a bracket provided capable of being mounted in a rebate on the angle between a crosspiece and an amount of the opening and, on the other hand, a keeper intended to cooperate with the end of said operating rod, forming a locking member, defined capable of coming to protrude through an opening in

  one of the wings of the square of said guide.

  The present invention relates to the field of building hardware and relates, in particular, to fittings intended to be mounted on a carpentry of the door or window type to contribute to the locking of the latter or to its proper functioning. In this regard, it will be noted that we cannot prevent that,

  over time, an opening leaf hinged on a sleeping frame does not collapse relative to the latter. However, such sagging not only prevents or makes the closing of the door or window restrictive, but also very often impedes the proper functioning of the fittings, in particular the locking fittings.

  It will be noted that if the hinge fittings of a joinery are generally provided with adjustment means making it possible to adjust the positioning of the opening relative to the frame, they are of great use only for 25 l 'operator-fitter who, during the installation of this door or window, has, through this intermediary, the possibility of adjusting, with precision, the opening relative to the frame. As for the user, he does not always have the information necessary to

  allow him to intervene himself later.

  It is for all of these reasons that use has been made, in particular for heavy and large openings, of lifting devices of which there are different embodiments. In a simplified design, it is an accessory part 35 which is fixed in the rebate of the lower cross member of the frame and which acts in the manner of a corner. More specifically, such a lifting device comprises an ascending lifting ramp in the closing direction of the opening and on which the lower cross member of the latter comes to bear, when closing it on the sleeping frame. Furthermore, the lifting ramp 5 ends with a substantially flat bearing surface on which the opening rests, once completely closed. As indicated above, it is usually an accessory piece which must be attached, individually, to the frame 10 and, this, at the point o, when the door is closed on the frame , it is located closest to the front upright of this opening. Usually, a number of keepers should also be attached to this dormant frame for the reception of locking members. In particular, it is common to bring strikes therein intended to receive the end of an operating rod which, in the locked position, comes to protrude, by way of nonlimiting example, relative to the lower cross member.

  or superior of a French opening.

  Moreover, on the angle between this upper and / or lower cross member of the opening member and the amount of the latter, there is generally written a rod exit guide in the form of a square piece comprising a wing s 'precisely extending, in the rebate of said upper or lower cross member. The other perpendicular wing 25 extends into the rebate of the front upright of the opening at the front of a headrest housing, inside a groove, said operating rod and possibly the control mechanism of the

  cremone bolt, lock bolt or other.

  At least one of these wings, in particular that comprising the opening for the passage of the rod comprises, moreover,

  another opening for the introduction of a fixing member intended to make it integral with the joinery. It should be noted that this wing, in a way perpendicular to the headrest, very often fits into a rebate groove in the lower or upper cross member of the opening.

  In the end, apart from the retaining function of the headrest under which the operating rod extends and of guiding the end of the latter, such a rod exit guide does not

hardly performs any other function.

  In particular, it is known that equipping the sash with a door or window with a temporary retention device, a device which in a way makes it possible to keep the sash closed on the sleeping frame before the user orders the locking

  proper, via a lever for example.

  Such temporary retaining devices consist, essentially, of a part similar to a bolt attached, as the case may be, to the leaf or to the frame and provided capable of cooperating, by elastic deformation, with a keeper implanted in

  correspondence, respectively, on the frame or on the opening.

  In summary, such temporary retaining devices represent additional parts that should be fixed individually to the joinery, just like the strikes, rod exit guides and other lifting devices mentioned above. Note, with regard to the latter, they do not exempt the carpenter from equipping the door or window with other centering parts intended to keep the opening properly centered inside this sleeping frame, before intervening the break from

that door or window.

  In short, through these centering pieces, the correct squaring between the frame and the opening element (s) is guaranteed. They are positioned between the front upright of an opening leaf and that corresponding to the sleeping frame, or even the amount of a leaf.

  adjacent in the case of a multi-leaf door or window.

  In fact, these centering pieces are, for aesthetic reasons, often removed after this break, knowing that it is entirely possible to keep them in place just as the lifting device described above is kept in place, not only relieves the joints of the weight of an opening leaf, but also contributes to the correct positioning of the latter in its

sleeping frame.

  To return to joinery with two leaves for example, one of these leaves, called service, is usually provided capable of coming to close on a semi-fixed leaf which, for its part, has its own locking members. In particular, these may be in the form of a cremone bolt or else of latches implanted at the upper and lower end of the front upright of the opening and comprising rods the end of which is likely to be protruding by relative to the upper and / or lower cross member of this opening to cooperate with strikes arranged in correspondence on the upper cross member and on the cross member

bottom of the frame.

  Obviously, such a semi-fixed leaf can also be provided with a rod exit guide, just as it can cooperate with lifting devices or other centering parts to guarantee its correct positioning relative to the frame or the leaf.

adjacent service.

  Finally, it appears from the foregoing explanations that the fitting of a carpentry represents, at present, a multitude of parts which it is advisable to install individually, as the case may be, on the frame or on the or

  the opening of a door, window or similar.

  As is apparent from document FR-A-2,810,363, it will be observed that if we have already sought to simplify these laying operations, in particular by associating with a lifting device a keeper which the 'we just fix on the dormant frame of a door or window, more precisely by ensuring that the means of fixing this keeper also contribute to the maintenance of this lifting device, there has hardly been proposed a solution

  satisfactory in the field to date.

  Thus, the invention relates to a fitting for a leaf and a frame for a door, window or the like comprising, on the one hand, an exit guide for an operating rod, in particular of a lever or a lever-lock, in the form of a bracket provided. able to be mounted in a rebate on the angle between a cross member and an upright of the opening leaf and, on the other hand, a keeper intended to cooperate with the end of said operating rod, forming a locking member, defined suitable to come to be projecting through an opening in one of the wings of the bracket of said guide, characterized in that said wing provided with the opening for the passage of the rod and lying opposite the keeper is 5 defined capable of forming a lifting shoe intended to even cooperate with said strike to contribute to the positioning of the opening in its dormant frame once the door or window closed. According to another feature of the invention, the other wing, 10 extending perpendicularly from the rod exit guide, is

  also defined capable of forming a positioning shoe intended to even cooperate, in the closed position of the door or window, with the dormant frame or an adjacent opening to, here again, guarantee the correct positioning of this opening relative to the others 15 elements of carpentry.

  Finally, through the fitting according to the present invention, it is ensured that the opening element is perfectly wedged relative to its sleeping frame, or even an adjacent opening element, whether during transport and during the various manipulations during installation of the 20 carpentry or, later, as part of the function of

  centering which it is able to fill.

  According to yet another feature of the invention, the fitting comprises a temporary locking device in the form of an elastically deformable bolt associated with the rod exit guide 25 so as to cooperate with a retaining element that includes the keeper intended to accommodate the organ end of

  locking of said operating rod.

  The advantages deriving from the present invention consist in that two parts with which doors or windows are usually fitted to fulfill a well-defined function, are now able to perform other functions, usually attributed to other elements. of fittings fixed individually on the joinery, this with the particularity that we have been able to take advantage of

  the preexisting characteristics of these two parts.

  In sum, these prove to be little more complex than the configuration known to them until now, so that their manufacturing costs are similar. However, having been able to allocate them, judiciously, the aforementioned additional functions, the carpenter is not only dispensed from equipping, by additional assembly operations, a carpentry with additional parts fulfilling these functions, but, in addition, results in the economy of

these last.

  Other objects and advantages of the present invention

  will appear in the course of the description which follows, relating to exemplary embodiments given by way of indication 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 window capable of receiving a fitting according to the invention; - Figure 2 is a schematic representation in elevation of the rod exit guide of a fitting according to the invention; - Figure 3 is a schematic view, bottom view of this guide; - Figure 4 is a left view of Figure 2; Figure 5 is a sectional view along V-V of Figure 2; - Figure 6 is a schematic and plan view of a keeper according to the invention applicable to a joinery with a single opening; - Figure 7 is a sectional view along VII-VII of Figure 6; - Figure 8 is a plan illustration of a keeper applicable to a door or window with two leaves; - Figure 9 illustrates, schematically, the application of the fitting according to the invention to a

carpentry with two leaves.

  As shown in the figures of the attached drawings, the present invention relates to the field of door fittings,

window or the like 1.

  Thus, as visible in FIG. 1, such a door or window 1 comprises a frame 2 and at least one leaf or opening 3 mounted articulated on the latter. It is also fitted with a locking fitting 4 in the form of a cremone bolt, cremone bolt, cremone bolt, taking position, generally, in

  rebate, around the opening 3.

  In the case where the latter is pivotally mounted, at the height of its rear upright 5, in particular around a vertical axis on the upright frame 2, this locking fitting 4 usually takes up position in the rebate of the front upright 6. As regards, for example, a cremone bolt, this comprises a control mechanism 7 15 making it possible to act on one or more operating rods 8 extending at the rear of a headrest 8i closing a rebate groove of this

amount before 6 of the opening 3.

  The profiles of metal or PVC joinery are

  generally provided with such a groove for receiving the parts 20 making up a locking gear of the bolt type or the like 4.

  Note that if an operating rod 8 can act on locking members, such as rollers, rollers, bolts or the like provided capable, in the locked position, of cooperating with strikes arranged in correspondence on the sleeping frame 2 25 or the front upright 6A of an adjacent opening 3A, as illustrated in FIG. 9, the upper and / or lower end 9, 10 of such an operating rod 8 can, in itself, define a locking member coming to be presented protruding, as the case may be, relative to the upper cross member Il or lower 12 of this opening 30 3 so as to cooperate with a keeper 13, 14 implanted in correspondence on the cross members, respectively, upper 15

bottom 16 of the frame 2.

  The object of the present invention relates to a fitting consisting, on the one hand, of a rod exit guide 17 taking 35 position in the angle between the upper cross member 11 or lower 12 and the front upright 6 of such opening 3 and, on the other hand, a keeper 13, 14 provided capable of cooperating with this end forming

  locking member 9, 10 of the operating rod 8.

  To return to the rod exit guide 17, more particularly visible in FIGS. 2 to 5, it is in the form of a square of which a wing 18 extends perpendicularly to an operating rod 8, or in rebate of the upper 11 or lower 12 cross member of the opening 3, this wing 18 comprising an opening 19 allowing the passage of the end 9,

of such a rod 8.

  This rod exit guide 17 comprises yet another wing extending perpendicularly to the preceding wing 18, ie in the rebate of the front upright 6 of the leaf 3, at the front of the headrest 81. At the rear, parallel to this wing 20 and delimiting with the latter a channel 21 for the housing of said headrest 81 and the passage and of the operating rod 8, a positioning base 22 can extend extending capable of being housed at the bottom of groove in the rebate opening 3. Note, in this regard, that the wing 18 is also provided, on its rear face with a base 20 for anchoring 23 intended, again, to take position in such a groove in the rebate of the opening 3. This anchoring base 23 can be provided, on its lateral sides 24, 25, hooking lugs 26 forming a step capable, by coming to cooperate with the lateral walls of said groove , to ensure at least temporary maintenance of the sorting outlet guide ngle 17 in the corner on this

  last of the opening 3, this before final fixing by means of an appropriate fixing member 27. This wing 18 comprises, precisely, an opening 28 for the passage of this fixing member 27 which can be accommodated in the thickness of the joinery.

  Advantageously, in the angle 29 between the positioning base 22 and the anchoring base 23 can be provided a

  recess 24 in which can be accommodated, for example, the weld bead that comprise, in the internal part of the rebate groove, the uprights and crosspieces of the opening.

  According to the invention, the wing 18 of a rod exit guide 17, comprising the opening 19 for the passage of the end of the operating rod 8, is defined capable of forming a lifting shoe 31 intended for cooperate with said keeper 13, 14 to contribute to the correct positioning of the opening 3 in its sleeping frame 2. In sum, through this lifting shoe 31 that defines the wing 18 of the rod exit guide 17 the fittings d joint 32 of the opening 3 are relieved of the weight of this

  last, when the door or window is closed.

  In particular, under this wing 18 extends a bead 33 at least chamfered on the side 34 in the direction of the fixed frame 2 so as to define an inclined plane provided capable of cooperating with said keeper 13, 14 to ensure a progressive lifting of the opening 3 by

  compared to the frame 2 at the time of closing.

  Preferably, this bead 33 adopts a symmetrical configuration with respect to the longitudinal median plane 35 of the rod exit guide 17 allowing the application of this

  last on an opening 3 with closing on the left or on the right.

  Likewise, the wing 20 of the rod exit guide 17 defines, advantageously in turn, a positioning shoe 36 provided capable of

  to cooperate, either directly or via a complementary positioning shoe 37, with the sleeping frame 2 or an adjacent opening 3A to guarantee the centering of the opening 3 with which this rod exit guide 17 is fitted the frame 25 2 this, if necessary, relative to an adjacent leaf.

  Note that the complementary positioning shoe 37 can be defined by the wing 18 of a rod exit guide 17

  equipping the front pillar 6A with such an adjacent leaf 3A.

  However, in the context of a door or window with a single leaf, said complementary positioning shoe 37 is associated,

  preferentially, at the keeper 13, 14, this shoe 37 extending substantially in a plane perpendicular to the latter so as to come to be positioned as a wall-mounted overlay of the sleeping frame 2, ie in line with the wing 20 defining said shoe 35 positioning 36.

  Preferably and just like the lifting shoe 31, this positioning shoe 36 is in the form of a bead 39 extending on the side external to the wing 20, and comprising an inclined plane 40 on the side oriented in the direction of the sleeping frame 2 5 to facilitate the closing of the opening 3. In fact, this positioning shoe 36, therefore the bead 39, is of configuration

  symmetrical with respect to the median plane 35 of the guide 17.

  Advantageously also, this is provided with a bolt of

  temporary block 41 able to cooperate with a retaining element 10 42 with which a keeper 13, 14 is fitted.

  This locking bolt 41 is defined elastically deformable and is projecting from the side 43, in the direction of said strike 13, 14, of the wing 18, corresponding to the rod exit guide 17,

  provided with the opening 19 for the passage of the end 9, 10 of an operating rod 8.

  More specifically, this locking bolt 41 is in the form of a section of section section that is substantially U-shaped, symmetrical, here again, with respect to the median plane 35 of the rod exit guide 17 in order to allow the reversibility of this latest. As for the head 44 emerging from this locking bolt 41, it comprises a groove or a hooking rim 35 provided capable of cooperating with a rim or a complementary hooking groove 46 defining

  the retaining element 42 associated with the keeper 13, 14.

  Note that this flange or this hooking groove 46 at the level of such a keeper 13, 14 can be installed so as to cooperate with the locking bolt 41 when the leaf 3 is completely closed on the frame 2 and / or partially, precisely in order to maintain in a partially open position this

  opening 3 relative to the frame 2.

  In the following description, we will refer to everything

  particularly in Figure 9 where the application of

  the present invention has a window with two leaves 3, 3A.

  In fact, it is usual for such doors or windows with two

  leaves and without central mullion that one leaf 3, called service, 35 comes to close on the other 3A, said semi-fixed.

  i1 If the leaf or opening 3 of service can be equipped with a locking fitting of the bolt type or the like acting on at least one operating rod 8 whose free end 10 is provided capable of forming a locking member in order to cooperate with a keeper 13 arranged in correspondence on the fixed frame 2, the semi-fixed leaf also receives, in the usual way, such a lever or even a lock comprising a rod coming to move behind a headrest whose l the free end may be projecting, in this case, as illustrated in FIG. 9, relative to the lower cross member 12A of this service leaf 3A

  to cooperate with a keeper 13A disposed on the frame 2.

  First of all in such a configuration, the strike 13A extending under the semi-fixed leaf 3A is the symmetrical of the strike 13 disposed under the service leaf 3. In fact, these strikes 15 13, 13A are defined by a single and even symmetrical piece by

  relative to a transverse median plane 50.

  Finally, the angle between the front upright 6A and a crosspiece 12A of this second leaf or opening 3A can be equipped with a rod exit guide 17 of the type associated with the service leaf 3, a guide making it possible, not only to contribute lifting and centering of this opening 3A relative to the frame 2, as well as relative to the adjacent opening 3. In particular, the positioning shoe 36 corresponding to the wing 20 of such a guide 17 associated with the leaf semi-fixed 3A plays, here, the role of complementary positioning shoe 37 able to cooperate with the positioning shoe 36 of the rod exit guide 17 which the

service leaf 3.

  Note that if the above description applies more

  generally a door or window having an opening, it has just been illustrated that the present invention will also find a very particular interest in the case of doors or windows with multiple leaves. Furthermore, it will be observed that if reference has been made to a

  French opening window, the present invention is in no way limited to such a type of opening.

  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.
