Description

Methods for Constructint One-Steo Grout Fixed Window/Door Frame Mounting Assemblies in a Concrete-Structured Building This is a continuation-in-part application of U.S.
Patent Application Serial No. 08/179,702 filed on January 11, 1994.
The present invention relates to improved methods for constructing one-step grout fixed window and door frame mounting assemblies on concrete walls of a building.
When constructing a concrete wall by means of templates, an opening for window is generally defined for subsequent installation of the window frame, i.e.. the whole construction cannot be finished by one single grouting procedure. Applicant's U.S. Patent Application Serial No. 08/179,702 provides a new method in which the window frame is attached in advance to the templates for an external wall of a building at where a window is to be mounted so that the external wall templates together with the attached window frame define a complete moulding cavity, thereby allowing the grouting of concrete and the fixation of the window frame onto the external wall to be accomplished in one single step, and thus improving watertight ability of the external wall structure. eliminating construction joints and further finishing works required in prior art construction methods.
Experiments show that the window frame constructed in accordance with the above-mentioned method may provide a reliable water-tight effect along its perimeter such that no further finishing works are required. However, the windows to be mounted on the external concrete wall may have different shapes, and in some situations the abovementioned method may not be suitable. The present invention is intended to provide improved methods to solve these technical problems and further expand the application from windows to doors.
According to one aspect of the present invention, there is provided a method for constructing a one-step grout fixed window/door frame mounting assembly in a concrete wall of a building to define a moulding cavity therein through which concrete is to be grouted and in which a window or door is to be mounted, the method comprising the steps of: (a) forming a window/door frame mounting assembly, the window/door frame mounting assembly comprising a window/door frame comprising a plurality of window/door frame sections which together define an inner periphery with a contour identical to that of the window or door to be mounted, a corresponding number of lining boards each having two template sealing strips respectively fixedly attached to two lateral edges of an outer side thereof, each lining board having a width the same as that of the moulding cavity, each two templates attached to each lining board having a distance equal to a width of the associated window/door frame section, such that the lining boards are fittingly mounted to the inner periphery of the window/door frame mounting assembly with each window/door frame section thereof fittingly enclosed between the associated two template sealing strips, and a back sealing means being mounted to each two adjacent window/door frame sections to sealingly connect the two adjacent window/door frame sections and the associated template sealing strips together, thereby forming the window/door frame mounting assembly; (b) fixedly attaching the window/door frame mounting assembly to a concrete template for the concrete wall; (c) fixing other matching concrete templates for the concrete wall to predetermined positions to enclose the window/door frame mounting assembly thereby defining a moulding cavity through which concrete is to be grouted; and (d) grouting concrete into the moulding cavity.
When a template sealing strip includes two separate aligned strip sections, a further back sealing means is mounted to the associated window/door frame section for sealingly connecting the associated said window/door frame section and the template sealing strip sections together.
Furthermore, a further back sealing means may be mounted to the window/door frame section at a position to where the associated lining board does not extend.
According to another aspect of the present invention, there is provided a second method for constructing a onestep grout fixed window/door frame mounting assembly in a concrete wall of a building to define a moulding cavity therein through which concrete is to be grouted and in which a window or door is to be mounted, the method comprising the steps of: (a) forming a window/door frame mounting assembly, the window/door frame mounting assembly comprising a window/door frame comprising a plurality of window/door frame sections which together define an inner periphery with a contour identical to that of the window or door to be mounted, a plurality of template sealing members mounted to the inner periphery of the window/door frame, each of the template sealing members having an outer side which together define a contour complimentary to that of the inner periphery of the window/door frame and an inner side having a width the same as that of the moulding cavity, the outer side of each template sealing member having a groove therein for fittingly receiving the associated window/door frame section, and a plurality of back sealing means being mounted to and thus sealing the outer sides of the template sealing members and said outer periphery of the window/door frame1 thereby forming the window/door frame mounting assembly; (b) fixedly attaching the window/door frame mounting assembly to a concrete template for the concrete wall; (c) fixing other matching concrete templates for the concrete wall to predetermined positions to enclose the window/door frame mounting assembly thereby defining a moulding cavity through which concrete is to be grouted; and (d) grouting concrete into the moulding cavity.

Referring to the drawings and initially to Figs. 1 and 2, as disclosed in U.S. Patent Application Serial No.
08/179,702, a window frame 100 includes two vertical sections 120 each having a vertical lining board 101 securely attached to an inner side thereof, template sealing strips 103 and 104 being attached to two outer vertical edges of each said vertical lining board 101 and abutting against first and second edges of the associated vertical section 120, thereby forming a window frame assembly 10. An upper supporting board 102 is securely mounted to a concrete template 109 of an external wall of a building, and the window frame assembly 10 is mounted on said upper supporting board 12 and is fixedly attached to the concrete template 109 in which two horizontal template sealing strips 105 are respectively fixed to first and second edges of an outer side of an upper horizontal section 130 of said window frame 100, the strips 105 being mounted on the upper supporting board 102, which is incorporated herein fdr reference.
According to one aspect of the present invention, there is provided a method for constructing a one-step grout fixed window frame mounting assembly in a concrete wall of a building to define a moulding cavity therein through which concrete is to be grouted and in which a window is to be mounted, said method comprising the steps of: (a) forming a window frame mounting assembly, said window frame mounting assembly comprising a window frame comprising a plurality of window frame sections which together define an inner periphery with contour identical to that of the window or door to be mounted, a corresponding number of lining boards each having two template sealing strips respectively fixedly attached to two lateral edges of an outer side thereof, each said lining board having a width the same as that of said moulding cavity, each said two templates attached to each said lining board having a distance equal to a width of associated said window frame section, such that said lining boards are fittingly mounted to said inner periphery of said window frame mounting assembly with each said window frame section thereof fittingly enclosed between associated said two template sealing strips, and a back sealing means being mounted to each two adjacent said window frame section to sealingly connect said two adjacent window frame sections and associated said template sealing strips together, thereby forming said window frame mounting assembly; (b) fixedly attaching said window frame mounting assembly to a concrete template for said concrete wall; (e fixing other matching concrete templates for said concrete wall to predetermined positions to enclose said window frame mounting assembly thereby defining a moulding cavity through which concrete is to be grouted; and (d) grouting concrete into said moulding cavity.
Figs. 3 through 9 exemplify the first method in accordance with the present invention.
Figs. 3 through 5 show a first embodiment of a window frame mounting assembly 20 in accordance with the present invention. Compared to Figs. 1 and 2, it can be clearly seen that the window frame mounting assembly 20 is designed for mounting upper and lower rectangular windows thereon and in which two pairs of corner back sealing members 202 are used to connect and seal upper corners thereof, striplike back sealing members 201 are used to connect and seal a connecting area 205 between a mediate horizontal section 20a thereof and each of two vertical sections 20b thereof, strip-like back sealing members 201a are used to connect and seal a disconnected area 207 between two separate template sealing strips 203 and 203a, and strip-like back sealing members 201b are used to connect and seal a connecting area 206 between a lower horizontal section 20d and each of the vertical sections 20b. Referring to Figs. 4 and 4A, the strip-like back sealing members 201 are mounted from an exterior side of the window frame mounting assembly 20 to seal the vertical sections 20b and the template sealing strips 203 and 203b, and adhesive tapes 200 are used to fasten the back sealing members 201 in position.
As can be seen in Fig. 5, the corner back sealing member 202 is mounted from exterior of the window frame to seal the upper horizontal section 20c, the vertical section 20b, and the template sealing strips 203b and 203c, and adhesive tapes 200 are used to fasten the back sealing member 202 in position. Preferably, adhesive tapes may also be used to fasten the back sealing means 201a and 201b to the window frame mounting assembly 20.
The window frame mounting assembly 20 is then fixedly attached to a concrete template 109 for a concrete wall of a building, and wood rods 208, 208a, 208b, 208c, 208d, and 208e (which are available from the working place) are placed inside the window frame mounting assembly 20 adjacent to the associated lining boards 204, 204a, and 204b, thereby firmly fixing the window frame mounting assembly 20 to the template 109, as shown in Fig. 6. Wood rod 208 is prefixed onto the template 109 and has a length to support the upper horizontal section of the window frame mounting assembly 20. Furthermore, it is suggested to use wood rod 208e to fix the lower horizontal section 20d as it is found that the window frame mounting assembly exerts an upward force after the concrete is grouted. Template sealing strips 203d are attached to two lateral edges of the lower horizontal section 20d and are directly mounted below wood rod 208e.
Referring now to Fig. 7, 8 and 8A, the polygonal window frame mounting assembly 30 is designed for a polygonal window and uses corner back sealing members 301, lining boards 303, and template sealing strips 302. As can be seen in Figs. 8 and SA, a corner back sealing member 301 is mounted from exterior of the window frame mounting assembly 30 to sealingly connect the connecting area 304 between two adjacent window frame sections 30a and the template sealing strips 302. Again, adhesive tapes 300 are used to fasten them together. The polygonal window frame mounting assembly 30 may allow the grouted concrete to flow and thus fulfill an outer periphery thereof.
Fig. 9 shows a window frame mounting assembly 40 which has a rectangular lower part and a semi-circular upper part for a correspondingly shaped window. As can be seen in this figure, arcuate back sealing members 402 are used to connect connecting areas 407 between the mediate horizontal section 40b and the upper arcuate upper sections 40a as well as the vertical sections 40c and to sealingly connect template sealing strips 404 and 404b thereon, as the lining board 405 is separate from lining boards 403 and 403a.
Furthermore, strip-like back sealing members 402a are used to sealingly connect the connecting areas 408 between the lower horizontal section 40d and lower ends of the vertical sections 40c. Again, adhesive tapes may be used to fasten the back sealing members to the window frame mounting assembly 40. For easy removal of the lining boards and the template sealing strips after grouting, the separate lining boards 403 and 403a and the separate template sealing strips 404 and 404a may be mounted to the circular part of the window frame mounting assembly 40 so as to define a gap 406 for the above-mentioned removal, and said gap 406 is sealed by arcuate back sealing strips 401.
Fig. 10 shows a preferred embodiment of the back sealing member 201 which is substantially L-shaped in section and is preferably made of soft alloy or plastic material such that it may be bent to form a corner back sealing member 202, 301 in Fig. 1 or an arcuate back sealing member 401, 402 in Fig. 9, so as to be used in window frame assemblies of different shapes.
Fig. 11 illustrates another application of the window frame mounting assembly in Fig. 3. The window frame mounting assembly 20 is installed into a preserved window opening 21 in a concrete wall of a building such that grout may be applied to an outer periphery of the window frame mounting assembly 20 for finishing work such as gap filling and painting.
If the window frame mounting assembly in accordance with the present invention is not properly installed or the template working is not properly done during the one-step grouting, the window frame mounting assembly still can be removed and conventional window installation method can take over.
According to another aspect of the present invention, there is provided another method for constructing a onestep grout fixed window frame mounting assembly in a concrete wall of a building to define a moulding cavity therein through which concrete is to be grouted and in which a window is to be mounted, said method comprising the steps of: (a) forming a window frame mounting assembly, said window frame mounting assembly comprising a window frame comprising a plurality of window frame sections which together define an inner periphery with a contour identical to that of the window to be mounted, a plurality of template sealing members mounted to said inner periphery of said window frame, each of said template sealing members having an outer side which together define a contour complimentary to that of said inner periphery of said window frame and an inner side having a width the same as that of the moulding cavity, said outer side of each said template sealing member having a groove therein for fittingly receiving associated said window frame section, and a plurality of back sealing means being mounted to and thus sealing said outer sides of said template sealing members and said outer periphery of said window frame, thereby forming said window frame mounting assembly; (b) fixedly attaching said window frame mounting assembly to a concrete template for said concrete wall; (c) fixing other matching concrete templates for said concrete wall to predetermined positions to enclose said window frame mounting assembly thereby forming a moulding cavity through which concrete is to be grouted; and (d) grouting concrete into said moulding cavity.

The template sealing members 209, 209a, 209b, 209c and 210 are formed by means of placing foam material (such as polymer, polyurethane, silicone rubber) in moulds such that they, after foaming, may be fittingly attached to the window frame along an inner periphery and encloses two lateral edges of the window frame, and together with back sealing members 201 form the required window frame mounting assembly 20'. The window frame mounting assembly 20'is then mounted to the concrete template 109, and wood rods 208, 208a, 208b, 208c, 20Sd, 208e are used to fix the window frame mounting assembly in position. Preferably, lower corner supporting members 211 may be used to further position the window frame mounting assembly.
Figs. 15 and 16 illustrate another embodiment of the window frame mounting assembly in accordance with the present invention in which the lining boards and template sealing strips used in the embodiment in Fig. 7 are replaced by template sealing members 306 and corner template sealing members 307 which together with back sealing members 308 (mounted on the window frame 30a) form a required window frame mounting assembly 30', which, in turn, is attached to the concrete template 109 and positioned by rods 309.
Figs. 17 and 18 illustrate yet another embodiment of the window frame mounting assembly in accordance with the present invention in which the lining boards and template sealing strips used in the embodiment in Fig. 9 are replaced by template sealing members 409 and 409a, and back sealing members 401 are used to connect and seal two template sealing members. The window frame mounting assembly 40' is attached to the concrete template 109 and positioned by rods 410, 410a, 410b, and 410c.
Figs. 19 and 20 illustrate still another embodiment of the window frame mounting assembly in accordance with the present invention. The window frame mounting assembly 50' includes a circular window frame 50a, four template sealing members 502 designed to form a circumscribed rectangle, and back sealing members 501. The window frame mounting assembly 50' is attached to the concrete template 109 and positioned by rods 503.
Figs. 21 and 22 illustrate yet another embodiment of the window frame mounting assembly 50" in accordance with the present invention.
