The support device 102 is positioned between the cavity formed by the window frame 106 and the cavity formed by the support frame 114 of the window panel 104 so that the window 100, The support device 102 is configured so that it is virtually invisible to a person. According to another embodiment, the support device 102 is provided with the least visible components mounted to the frames 106 and 114 to minimize the effect on the appearance of the window 100, even with the support device 102 installed . Details of the installation method of the different embodiments of the support device 102 and corresponding components will be described later.

Referring to Figures 2-4, an embodiment of a support device 102 for a window 100 is shown, which is combined with a first window element and a second window element to connect a first window element to a second window element The link member 202 includes a tensioning system 204 adapted to stretch or contract the linking member 202 when the first and second windowing elements are relatively moved do.

2, the link member 202 includes a tensioning system 204 and the tensioning system 204 includes an elastic member 206 such as a spring. The link member 202 further includes a non-elastic member 208, such as a cable, preferably an inner cable mechanism, which is connected in series with the elastic member 206 or tension system 204. The elastic member 202 is stretched together and the elastic member 206 is retracted to the original position when the pulling is released so that the entire link member 202 is retracted, It also contracts to its original length.

The link member 202 may include an elastic member 206 and / or an inelastic member 208 other than a spring or cable. For example, the inelastic member 208 may comprise any combination or combination of cables, strings, cords, or chains. On the other hand, the elastic member 206 may be any one of a spring, an elastic string, a rubber band, or an address code, or a combination thereof, or a combination of the aforementioned elastic member and non-elastic member.

The link member 202 may be coupled to a window element such as a window frame 106 and a window panel 104 to connect the window element to the different shapes and arrangements by the link member 202. 2, the support device 102 includes a first anchor 210 provided at a first end 212 of the link member 202 to engage a first window element, And a second anchor 214 provided at the second end 216 of the link member 202 to engage the two window elements. These anchors 204,214 may be used to secure the anchors 210,214 to the window elements 104,106, including screws, bolts, snap engagement structures, projections, voids, adhesives or other means for mounting two objects, As shown in FIG.

Preferably, the second anchor 214 is coupled to the loop 218 formed at the second end 216 of the link member 202. The loop 218 is formed by bending one end 218 of the cable 208 and the one end 216 is secured to a position of the cable 208 by a permanent buckle 220. The cable 208 in the portion of the loop 218 passes through the hole 214A of the anchor 214. This structure provides a reliable secure connection between the anchor 214 and the cable 208. Similarly, the tensioning system 204 is coupled to another loop 222 formed at the other end 224 of the inelastic member, which in the illustrated embodiment is a cable 208.

These stoppers 202 prevent the link member 202 from detaching from the window element through the hole and provide additional safety against coupling between the link member 202 and the window element, 104) to the window frame (106). In addition, the anchors 210 and 214 are larger than the holes formed in the window elements, thereby increasing the coupling force between the link members 202 and the window elements.

5A and 5B show an embodiment of a supporting device 102 installed in a window frame 106 of a window 100 and an inner cavity 106C and 114C of a window panel 104. Fig. A window frame such as an aluminum window frame defines the dimensions of the internal cavities 106C and 114C formed in the frame body as a result of optimization of the weight and mechanical strength of the window frame. These cavities 106C and 114C are sized to allow the link member 202, including the cable 208, string, cord, and resilient member, such as a spring, to be positioned therein.

In this embodiment, the tension system 204 of the support device 102 is inserted into the inner cavity 106C of the window frame 106 and is engaged with the window frame by the first anchor 210. The tension system 204 is coupled to the cable 208 through a loop 222 at one end 224 thereof and the cable 208 is secured to the window 106 by a hole 106A formed in the window frame 106, And the other end 216 of the cable 208 is inserted into the inner cavity 114C of the support frame 114 of the window panel 104. [ The loop 218 is formed at the other end of the cable 208 and is secured by a permanent buckle 220. Preferably, the buckle 220 is larger than the holes 106A and 114A formed in the frames 106 and 114 so that the buckle 220 (and / or the buckle portion of the cable 208) Serves as a stopper to prevent the link member 202 from escaping through the holes 106A and 114A to ensure engagement between the link member 202 and the support frame 114 of the window frame 106 and / .

Optionally, additional anchors 214, as shown in FIG. 2, may be provided to support the window panel 104 to increase the stability of engagement between the link member 202 and the support frame 114 of the window panel 104. [ May be used to mount the end 216 of the cable 208 within the inner cavity 114C of the frame 114. An additional stopper 220 as described above may also be secured to the cable 208 to increase the coupling force.
