Description

SPECIFICATION Composite Metal Frame Members Including a Barrier to Thermal Conduction The invention relates to a composite metal frame including a barrier to thermal conduction and to a method of forming such a frame.
Frames have been previously proposed wherein a pair of shaped metal members are connected together by way of plastics connectors.
The invention is based on the problem of providing a frame of the above-indicated kind and a method of manufacturing such a frame wherein a tolerance-compensating connection between parts of the frame can be obtained and the frame can be easy to assemble.
According to one aspect of the invention, there is provided a method of manufacturing a composite metal frame including a barrier to thermal conduction, which frame comprises two shaped metal members connected together by a connector or connectors of a plastics material having detent receiving means, with one or more detent stages, for anchoring web portions of the shaped metal members, the method comprising locating the two shaped metal members in juxtaposed positions with the connector or connectors of plastics material located therebetween and applying a compressive force between opposite faces of the composite metal frame to press the anchoring web portions into the detent receiving means.
The composite metal frame produced by the method of the invention can be used in building windows, doors and facades.
It is also advantageous to use the composite shaped members according to the invention for the production of finished doors in mass production, as a high degree of pre-fabrication can be achieved and there is no need for subsequently fitting glass retaining strips.
Thus the two shaped metal members can comprise a main frame and a cover frame and, in manufacture, a pane of glass or a filling plate of other material is secured to the main frame, the plastics connector or connectors provided with the detent receiving means is or are engaged on the anchoring web portions of the main frame, which anchoring web portions project from a face of the main frame which extends parallel to the plane of the pane of glass or the filling plate, and the cover frame is pressed onto the plastics connector or connectors to engage the anchoring web portions of the cover frame in the detent receiving means of the plastics connector or connectors.
As the metal cover frame also takes over the function of the glass retaining strips, there is no need for subsequently fitting such strips. The metal cover frame can have a closed outside surface which is not interrupted by edge joints of glass retaining strips.
The plastics connectors can compensate for production tolerances which occur between the main frame and the cover frame or between shaped metal members which are used in the production of composite shaped members with a heat-barrrier action.
According to another aspect of the invention there is provided a composite metal frame including a barrier to thermal conduction comprising two shaped metal members each having anchoring web portions projecting therefrom and a connector or connectors of a plastics material connecting the two shaped metal members together and having detent receiving means, with one or more detent stages, into which detent receiving means the anchoring web portions of the shaped metal members have been pressed.
Preferably the anchoring web portions of the shaped metal members are of a T-shaped configuration and the detent receiving means of the plastics connector or connectors have two detent stages.
The plastics connectors can be of a two-part construction and the two parts have interengaging anchoring bar portions which are connected together by way of a pin passed therethrough. This arrangement provides that, when a pane is broken, it is possible to separate the main frame from the cover frame. The pins which are passed through the two connector portions can be accessible from the outside and can be pulled out for dismantling the frame, and can be re-inserted into the holder portions after the new pane has been fitted into place.
If, in producing the composite metal frames by the method according to the invention, a continuous plastics connector is used instead of connectors which are disposed at a spacing apart from each other, the plastics connector can provide a uniform heat-barrier action in respect of the composite frame, over the entire periphery of the frame.
The invention is diagrammatically illustrated by way of example in the accompanying drawings, in which:~ Figure 1 shows a sectional view of the main frame of a composite metal frame according to the invention with a plastics connector fitted thereon; Figure 2 shows a sectional view of the main frame with connector fitted thereon, as shown in Figure 1, and a cover frame, after anchoring web portions thereof have been engaged into a first detent stage of the connector; and Figure 3 shows a sectional view through the composite frame in its final condition.
Referring to the drawings, a metal main frame 1 is shown in cross-section, and has an anchoring groove 2 for shaped sealing member 3 for a pane of glass 4. The pane of glass 4 is fixed in the main frame in known manner. Two T-shaped anchoring web portions 6 which extend in parallel to one another are provided on a web 5 of the main frame, which web 5 extends parallel to the plane of the pane of glass. The two anchoring web portions 6 define between them a groove 7. A connector 8 of plastics material is clipped onto the anchoring web portions 6. The plastics connector 8 comprises two identical parts 9 and 10 which are fitted together in a relative position of one having been turned through 1800 relative to the other.The connector parts 9, 10 have a configuration including hollow bar portions 11 and 12 and inter-engage with one another to anchor them together and are connected together by way of a pin 13 passed therethrough. The connector parts 9, 10 are also provided with resilient projections 14 and 15 which together form a V-shaped configuration.
A metal cover frame 1 6 is also provided with T-shaped anchoring web portions 17 similar to the web portions 6.
In the illustrated embodiment, the plastics connector 8 formed by the connector parts 9, 10 has two detent receiving means 18 on each side, and each detent receiving means is provided with two detent stages.
Figure 1 shows the connector 8 in a position in which it is secured with respect to the metal main frame 1 in its first detent stage by engagement of the detent receiving means 18 on one side with the anchoring web portions 6. In Figure 2, the metal cover frame 16 has its anchoring web portions 17 in the first detent stage of engagement in the detent receiving means 18 on the other side of the connector 8.By means of a press which preferably engages the metal frame 1 6 over the full surface area thereof, the anchoring web portions 6 of the metal main frame 1 and the anchoring web portions 17 of the metal cover frame 16 are inserted into the second detent stages of the detent receiving means 18, so that the main frame 1, the connector 8 and the cover frame 16 occupy the relative positions which are shown in Figure 3 and which shows the finished form of the frame. In this condition, the free ends of the resilient projections 14, 1 5 bear against the main frame 1 and the cover frame 6 and provide for bracing the shaped metal members with respect to the connector 8.
Each connector part 9, 10 may be for example about 3 centimetres in length. Between any two adjacent connectors 8, there is a free space between the metal frame 1 and the metal cover frame 6 that is to say short lengths each comprising a connector 8 are provided at spaced apart positions around the frames.
The drawings show that the pin 13 is passed through a plurality of double-shear connections of the inter-engaging bar portions 1 1 and 12, which connections are arranged in the longitudinal direction of the pin 13. Because at each connecting location between the anchoring bars, the pin 13 passes through two walls of the anchoring bar portions, which lie directly one beside the other, this arangement can provide for a very intimate uniform connection between the parts of the connector 8 over the entire length of the pin. By removing the pin 13, the connector parts 9, 10 of the connector 8 can readily be separated, for example to permit replacement of the pane of glass 4.
