! '1 - ·; i I Insulated glazed double glazed window frame, to be mounted mobile or fixed in a window or door frame.

The present invention relates to glazed frames j designed to be mounted in window or door frames; or similar frameworks. ' - The frames in question here have two or more panes kept at a distance from one another by a separator to create between them an air space which acts as an insulator against heat and "cold. The known frame panes of this type are mounted in a frame permanently fixed to the edges of the panes and with which they form a frame in one piece, which is mounted fixed, pivoting or sliding in a window. · Door or window frame or similar support. This construction has the disadvantage that the whole frame must be discarded if one window is broken or leaking, or if the two windows are broken, since the frame is fixed without being able to be dismantled for use with other panes An example of such a conventional frame I is described in Belgian patent n ° 861 815, issued on March 31, 1978 in the name of the applicant The one-piece chassis J described in this patent has a frame formed of metal profiles. metal sheets fixed permanently and applied by a sealant against fl 20 the sides, outside of the edges of the panes, as well as a series I of plastic border elements surrounding the metal profiles) fl he invention provides a glazed frame, which can be mounted sliding, pivoting, tilting or otherwise movable, fl. 25 or else fixed in a frame, which comprises a series of border elements fl of rigid vinyl plastic material applied in a sealed manner against the external sides of the edges of the panes and forming with them a complete glazing by itself , and at least fl the two opposite vertical sides of which are formed by metal profiles - fl '/ _ 30 liques detachably connected to the corresponding border elements I,; \ \' ponderants. defective glazing, the metal profiles can be removed manually and mounted on a similar glazing and if the profiles themselves become defective, they can be replaced by new profiles.

I '2: * · i i \ î -

A glazed frame according to the invention therefore has: a sealed glazing formed of at least two parallel panes spaced from one another and of a separator arranged between the inner sides of the edges of the panes and attached to them in a sealed manner , so as to constitute with the panes a complete glazing by itself; even ; a series of rigid vinyl plastic border elements surrounding the glazing, the border elements being firmly attached to the outside of the edge of at least one of the panes; and a * metal profile extending at least along each of the two, (\ 10 opposite vertical sides of the glazing, each metal profile being. · connected to a corresponding border element so as to form a structural unit with the windows and to be able to be detached manually from this border element for replacement purposes.

According to a preferred embodiment of the invention, the metal profiles can be mounted on and dismounted from the edge elements thanks to a notched assembly between cooperating means on the contact faces of the metal profiles and edge elements. .

According to another embodiment of the invention, the mounting and dismounting is carried out by relative movements of longitudinal sliding between the metal sections and the edge elements.

Other characteristics and advantages of the invention 1 will emerge more clearly from the following description of several non-limiting exemplary embodiments, as well as from the appended drawings, in which: - Figure 1 is a vertical section of a frame according to the invention pivotally mounted in a window or door frame; FIG. 2 is a vertical section of another frame according to the invention, in the form of a window or a door. sliding; and ’- Figure 3 is a horizontal section of yet another glazed frame according to the invention.

35 The invention is generally applicable ’to all types of windows or doors, regardless of whether they are fitted 3 t *.

pivoting, sliding or fixed in a window or door frame. The windows or doors shown and described here should therefore only be considered as examples.

FIG. 1 shows a glazed frame 10 of type 5 which can be swiveled in a window or door frame 12. The structure of the frame 12 is not essential to the invention, it will not be described in detail ; however, it can be seen that the chassis 10 is isolated from the frame 12 by a series of seals 14, 16, 18 and 20.

10 The frame 10 contains glazing * 22 which is in one piece and complete by itself. This glazing is composed of two panes 24, 26 arranged parallel to each other at a distance; and a separator 28 placed between the interior sides of the edges of the panes. The separator 28 is hollow and contains a desiccant 30 which j; 15 communicates with the air space between the panes 24 and 26 through a suitable opening such as a slot 32. A method for attaching the separator 28 to the inner sides of the edges of the panes 1 is described in Canadian Patents 833,267 and 939,560, both on behalf of the plaintiff. This method consists in applying between the two components a sealant such as a high molecular weight hydrocarbon polymer obtained by the polymerization of isobutylene. The double glazing 22 is complete by itself in the sense that it does not require a special frame to maintain and support.

) wear * the windows and give rigidity to the whole.

The glazing 22 is surrounded by a series of border elements. These elements are formed from a rigid vinyl plastic material, for example a polyvinyl chloride known under the brand GEON. The border elements are closed attached to the windows; in the examples in FIGS. 1 and 3, ‘they are fixed to the windows by a sealant, while the border elements of the example in FIG. 2 have longitudi- / ribs. . nales coming into contact with the panes on the inner faces, v,, of their lateral wings (shown in vertical position in FIG. 2). Although not shown, it is also possible to use a combination of the two, i.e. a combination of ribs and a sealant.

3 ί 'An important feature of the invention is that j metal profiles cover at least some of the edge elements, so that the latter act as intermediate connecting elements between the panes and the metal; each metal profile, being connected to the corresponding border element, „forms a structural unit with the panes, which gives a resistant assembly. In its simplest form, only the opposite vertical sides of a window frame could be covered with such metallic elements; in other words, in some cases the horizontal edges of a window frame would only be formed from extruded plastic strips. However, in most preferred embodiments, all four sides of the glazing will be-) lined with plastic border elements covered with metallic elements.

The border elements and the corresponding metal profiles are shaped so as to form a solid unit when they are interconnected. However, they are made at the same time so that they can be separated fairly easily when it is desired to remove the metal profiles due to the breakage of a window pane or the damage of a profile. The following part of the description relates to different forms of connection between the border elements and the metal profiles.

In the example of FIG. 1, the border 34 has) a L-shaped cross section defined by a lateral wing 36 (shown in vertical position) which extends along the outside of the edge of the window 24 , as well as by an edge wing 38 (shown in a horizontal position) which extends along the edges of the panes 24 and 26. The edge 34 is connected in leaktight manner to the glazing 22 by a sealant 39, a polymer based on * 30 polysulfide for example, which is disposed between the outer side and the edge of the window 24 and the wings 36, 38 of the border. The edge wing 38 has internally two longitudinal ribs 40 and 42 located opposite the edges of the windows.

The border element 34 is covered by and connected to a metal section 44 in two parts 46, 48 which are separated. * * "'. from each other by an insulating material 50, a solid urethane for example. The section 46 of the profile has a lateral wing, the free end of which carries a rim 52 directed inwards and encased in a correspondingly shaped groove in the interior part (situated on the side of the center of the glazing) of the side wing 36 5 of the border. The border 34 being made of plastic, the metal profile can be mounted on it and be detached from it by the pivoting of the profile 44 relative to the glazing 22 with snap-in in the plastic edge or detachment thereof. The other part, 48, of the metal profile has a tongue 54 which fits into a correspondingly shaped groove of a flexible joint 56 which is applied against the outside of the edge of the glass 26. One of the materials which are suitable for the seal 56 is neoprene.

! ) In this example, if the glazing 22 or the border elements 34 is or are damaged, defective or broken, the other components of the frame can still be used, after manual pivoting of the metal profiles towards the outside, so that they deviate from the corresponding border elements after extraction

* S

of the rim 52 of the corresponding groove of the bordurt element. FIG. 2 shows an exemplary implementation 20 of the invention applying to a door or a window 60 slidingly mounted in a suitable frame 62. This figure shows only one sliding window frame but it is well known that two or more of these frames 60 are generally mounted in. ^ such a frame or frame. The frame 60 comprises a glazing 64, 25 with panes 66, 68 and a separator 70, which is of the same construction as the glazing 22 of FIG. 1. A series of border elements 72 surrounds the edges of the panes 66 on the outside. and 68.

The border elements 72 are made of the same material as the elements 34 of FIG. 1. However, in the example of FIG. 2, each element has a U-shaped cross section defined by two lateral wings 74, 76 connected to each other. by a base or core 78.

. The inner faces of the wings of the border elements have a series of parallel longitudinal ribs which are used for hanging on the external sides of the edges of the panes 66, 68. The., 35 border elements 72 are covered by a series of sections, metallic 82, each formed again from two parts 88, 86 ji «*! î · ji '6 interconnected by a rigid insulating material 88 similar to the material 50 of FIG. 1, Each metal section comprises two • lateral wings 90, 92 applied against the external faces of the lateral wings 74, 76 of the border elements, In this example, the inner faces of the metal sections and the outer faces of the border elements have grooves and ribs. , cooperating longitudinal vures which fit together and thus establish a solid bond. In this embodiment, the mounting of a profile on the corresponding border element and its detachment from this element are therefore produced by a longitudinal sliding movement * of the profile relative to the border element.

^ Figure 3 shows yet another example of embodiment of the invention; in this case, it could be the two lateral parts of the window or the sliding door of FIG. 2. In this case, the border elements 100 are attached by a sealant to a glazing unit 101 which is similar to the glazing 22 and 64 of FIGS. 1 and 2, the border elements 100 of this example have a U-shaped cross section defined by a core 20 102 and lateral wings 104, 106, the latter being connected to the outer sides of the edges panes with a sealant 108 similar to sealant 39 of .1 '. example of FIG. 1,

The border elements 111 are covered by metal profiles 110 each formed from two parts 116, 118 which are connected to each other by an insulating material 120 similar to the insulating connecting elements 50 and 88 of FIGS. 1 and 2. The parts 116, 118 isolated from each other of the metal section of this example have, at the free ends, flanges 122, 124 directed inwardly and fitting into grooves of corresponding shape. 30 in the interior parts (on the middle side of the glazing) 126, 128 of each border element.

* In the embodiment shown in: Figure 3, the removal of a metal profile from its edge element v corresponds to that of the example of Figure 2 in the sense that it is also obtained by longitudinal sliding.

"

It goes without saying that in particular the metal profiles and their methods of attachment to the attached border elements of 7 · »'» * 1, in a sealed manner to the glazing can take many forms; the invention is therefore in no way limited to the embodiments described and those skilled in the art may make various modifications to it without departing from its scope.
