SPECIFICATION
Improvements in joints for connecting together hollow frame members
This invention concerns improvements in joints for connecting together hollow frame members, particularly but not exclusively, hollowframe members forming a door or window frame.
It is already known to provide hollow frame members of substantially uniform section which are connected togetherto provide a frame for doors or as windows, and wherein the frame members are connected together by special forms of corner cleats.
With some forms of cleats, one or both sectionsto be joined have to be especially prepared by profiled cuts to accommodate the cleat. With otherforms of cleats, the joint eventually formed is not sufficiently rigid and there can be a tendencyforthejoint to twist, which in turn may cause jointto become insecure and the whole construction ofthedoororwindowframe is weakened and unsatisfactory.
Manyforms of cleats or corner connections have to be specifically designed for the profile of the frame sections, and this leads to problems and excessive costs where a range offrame sections may be employed to form differentstylesortypesofframes.
It is an object ofthis invention to provide a simple form ofjointforconnectingtogetherhollowframe members in which no special profile cutting is required, and wherein the joint can be assembled in a simple manner.
It is another objective of this invention to provide a jointforconnecting hollow frame members wherein the joint prevents relative twisting ofthe frame members when connected, and wherein the joint provides a rigid reinforcement forthe two frame members adjacent the joint.
Other objectives and advantages of th is invention will be referred to later herein.
In a door orwindowframe, first and second hollow frame members are connected by a joint including two joint blocks, the first frame member is a section having opposed flanges extending from one side defining a channel extending lengthwise of the member, the second frame member is a section extending normallyto the first frame member and abutting the free edges of said flanges, each joint block has formations for complementary engagement with formations within the hollow section of the second frame member for slidably locating each joint block within the abutting end of said second frame member, meansforsecuring each joint blockto the second frame member so that a portion of each joint block extends into the channel of the first frame member, and fastening means extending transverselythrough the firstframe member engaging each of the joint blocks to rigidly connect the first and second frame members together.
In the joint according to this invention, the joint
blocks engage both the second and first frame
members and extend therebetween in the confines of the channel of the first frame member and the interior of the second frame member. The joint blocks are located in the second frame member and provide a rigid reinforcementforthe end of the second frame member, and the projecting ends of the joint blocks are received within the channel of the firstframe memberto prevent relative twisting of the two frame members.
As the channel provided in the firstframe member extends lengthwise of the member, the position of the joint can be selected at any required location, and no special profile cutting ofthe abutting faces of the first and second frame members is required.
Preferably, the joint blocks are relatively spaced apart and provide two locations spaced apart in the longitudinal extent ofthe channel of the firstframe member.
By such an arrangement, the bending and twisting forces to which the joint is subjected in use and during assembly are distributed in the longitidinal extent of thefirstframememberpreventing local distortion.
Preferably, the complementaryformations of the joint blocks and the second frame member are selected from any one of the following combina tions:-flanges and grooves, ribs and grooves, inter-engaging splines or like formations extending lengthwise of the joint blocks and the second frame member.
Conveniently, by providing such formations, these can be provided in a second frame member of uniform section along its length, andthejointblockcan be produced to match the selected configuration of the formation provided in the second frame member.
Thus, both the second frame member and the joint blocks can be made from extruded sections which merely have to be cut to the desired length by a simple parting off cut without special profiling.
As the joint blocks are arranged for sliding location within the second frame member, the joint blocks are initially located accurately with respect to the second frame member and this simplifies assembly.
Preferably, joint blocks are secured to the second frame member by suitable fasteners, such as threaded studs, rivets or by crimping, and in such securing the joint blocks are positioned so that they projectfromthe end ofthe second frame memberfor reception within the channel.
The fastening means provided for connecting the joint blocks and second frame member to the first frame member are threaded bolts which extend through the wall ofthe first frame memberforming the base ofthe channel.
Preferably, the fastening means extendsthrough a support plate mounted internally ofthefirstframe member and abutting the said wall forming the base of the channel.
The first frame member is provided with clearance holes providing access to the hollow interior of the member for locating and tightening the threaded bolts.
The holes provided inthefirstframe memberand supportplatewould bespaced apartto be aligned and

a later filed formal copy.
to be in register with the the joint blocks, each of which blocks is provided with a threaded bore complementaryto the threaded shank of each threaded bolt.
Bysuch an arrangement, the connection ofthefirst and second frame members can be achieved in a simple mannerwith the only operations being required on thefirstframe member being the provision ofthe holes through which the bolts extend.
Other features of th is invention and alternative constructions will be described later herein.
An exemplary embodiment of this invention will now be described with reference to the accompanying drawings wherein:- FIGURE lis an exploded perspective view showing the component parts of a joint in a doorframe; and
FIGURE2 is a sectional view of the joint assembled from the component parts shown in Figure 1.
With reference to the drawings, a doorframe includes various frame members of which a first member 1 is a vertical stile and a second member 2 is a bottom rail for connection at one end to the bottom of the stile to provide one corner ofthe frame assembly.
In known manner, the first and second frame members are connected to extend normally to each other, and there would be otherframe members similarly connected to completethedoorframe. For clarity, only portions of the first and second frame members are depicted in the drawings.
Thefirstandsecondframemembersl,2each have
a uniform section and in known manner are preferably
extrusions of aluminium alloy which are cutto the
required lengths to suit the frame dimensions. The
frame members may be plastic coated.
Thefirstframe member 1 is of hollow profile having
an outer side wall 3,frontand rearwalls4, 5 (respectively), and an inner wall 6 from which opposedflanges7,8extend contiguouslywiththe respectivefrontand rear walls to define a channel 9
extending lengthwise ofthe inner side ofthe frame
member 1. The hollow interior of the first member
provides a space or void in which a lock, fastener or
otherfitting may be mounted or supported as
required. In the assembled frame, those portions of the channel 9 which are not enclosed provide a rebate or groove for receiving the marginal edge of glazing or a panel (notshown) or can receive a glazing gasket.
The second frame member 2 is also of hollow profile
having an outersidewall 10, an innersidewall 11, front and rearwal Is 12, 13 (respectively) with two opposed flanges 14,15 extending contiguously from the respectivefrontand rearwallsto define a channel
16 extending lengthwise of the inner side of the frame member2inasimilarmannerandforthesame purpose as described above with reference to the first frame member 1.
The innerfaces of the front and rearwalls 12,13 of the second frame element are each formed with two
ribs 17,18and 19, 20 respectivelywith the ribs 17 and
19 being opposed and lying adjacent to the inner side
wall 11, and with the ribs 18 and 20 also being
opposed and lying adjacent to the outer wall 10.
These ribs provide two pairs of opposed grooves
extending lengthwise and inside the hollow section of
the second frame member.
Each pair of grooves is arranged to slidably locate one of two similar joint blocks 21 within the interior of the second frame member.
Each joint block 21 comprises a rigid body 22 having a pair of opposed flanges 23 extending lengthwise of the body and arranged for sliding engagement in the respective pairs of grooves so that a joint block can be inserted in the open end of the second frame member and located adjacentthe respectiveoneoftheinneror outer side walls.
Each joint block 21 has a firstthreaded bore 24 extending lengthwise and substantially centrally of the body so that when the joint block is located in the second frame member each bore 24 opensto the end face ofthe second frame member. Additionally, each joint block has a second threaded bore 25 extending transversely to the first bore 24 and each second bore opens to the face of the block which lies adjacent to the respective one ofthe inner or outer side walls 10,11 of the second frame memberwhen the joint block is located therein.
The second threaded bores 25 in each joint block are for securing the joint blockwithin and to the second frame member at a position so that a portion ofthe joint block projects from the end face ofthe second frame member. Each joint block is so secured by a respective threaded stud 26 which extends through a respective piercing in the inner and outer side walls of the second frame member.
Aswill be understood, each joint block is adapted to be slid into the second frame member until the second threaded bore is in register with the respective
piercing, andthenthe block is secured bythe associated stud and is fixed in the required position.
When thetwo joint blocks are so secured, they provide two rigid reinforcements in the end of the second
member at spaced apart positions and provide two spaced apartthreaded bores extending accurately lengthwise ofthe second frame member.
Instead of the studs 26, rivets could be used to secure the joint blocks in the desired position, or in certain applications the joints blocks could be secured by crimping orspotwelding.
Thefirstframe member 1 is provided with two clearance holes 27 in the outer side wall 3 and two holes 28 in the inner side wall 6 which forms the base ofthe channel 9. The holes 27 and 28 are aligned with each other and are spaced apart lengthwise ofthe first frame member bythe same distance as between the threaded bores 24 of the two joint blocks 21.
A support plate 29 is provided to be mounted internally ofthefirstframe member and this has two clearance holes 30 for aligned registration with the
holes 27 and 28 aforementioned. The support plate 29 can be inserted through the open end ofthefirstframe member.
Two threaded bolts 31 with recess drive heads 32
and respective spring washers 33 are provided to
complete the component parts of the joint assembly.
The clearance holes 27 have a diameter largerthan the
bolt heads 32.
As shown in Figure 2, in the assembled jointthe
projecting end portions of the joint blocks are entered
into the channel 9 of the firstframe member with the
respective threaded bores 24 ofthe joint blocks being
aligned with the holes in the inner sidewall 6 of the
firstframe member. The end face of the second frame
member abuts the faces of the flanges 7,8 where these
meet and the engagement ofthe ends ofthe joint
blocks within the channel 9 accurately locates and
supports the second frame member relative to the first frame member to prevent relative twisting whilst
reinforcing the two frame members at the vulnerable
corner location.
To connectthe two frame members together, the two threaded bolts 31 are pushed through the outer clearance holes 27 and afterthe washers 33 have been pushed onto the bolt shanks, the shanks are pushed through the respective holes 30 in the support plate 29 and the inner side wall 6. The bolts 31 arethen aligned with and engaged in thethreaded bores 24 of the joint blocks and aretightened up to complete the rigid joint connection.
The assembled joint is simple to complete and is very strong for it does not rely solely on the threaded fastenersforstrength and location.
In this exemplary embodiment, the joint blocks are slidably located in the second frame member by means of the complementary formations provided by the blockflanges received within the grooves defined bythe ribs. However, otherforms of complementary formations can be employed. For instance, the joint blocks could be provided with lengthwise grooves or ribsforinterengagementwith complementary ribs and grooves formed in the second frame member. A series ofsplineson the side of the joint blocks for inter-engagementwith similarsplines on the opposed walls of the second frame member could be employed. Alternatively, the joint blocks could be located for sliding movement by means of internal partitions orwebsextending transversely across the hollow interior of the second frame member.
The precise configurations of these complementary formations may be selected to suitthe profile of the second frame memberfor any particular door or window system without departing from the principle ofthis invention and taking the advantage of formations which can be produced in the uniform section of an extrusion.
Conveniently, the joint blocks themselves may be provided by parting off lengths of an extruded section.
Although this invention has been described with reference to a corner joint of a door frame, the principle ofthe joint assembly can be applied to other joints required to assemble a door orwindowframe, for instance forthe top or centre rail of a door or window frame.
The invented joint can be applied to any length of frame member required to be connected to another frame member extending normallythereto.Accordingly, the invented joint could also be applied forthe interconnection of mullion members.
