Abstract
A set is provided comprising a profile for covering a sill of a window frame and two plugs for providing a seal between opposite ends of the profile and a left and right jamb of the window frame, respectively. At the ends, the profile has straight sections, rather than a stepped profile. With the jambs having stepped sections, spaces exist between the profile ends and the jambs. These spaces are filled by means of the plugs. As the plugs a provided in a resilient material, they contribute to sealing between the profile and the window frame. The plugs have stepped bottom section to accommodate a stepped section of the sill. Also the bottom has a stepped section, by providing two elongate sections at different levels. At a bottom side of the profile, preferably at the highest section, a liner is provided for providing sealing between the profile and the sill.
Description
TECHNICAL FIELD
The various aspects and embodiments thereof relate to material parts for providing a substantially water-tight barrier between a sill of an outer frame for a window and an inner frame that is movable relative to the outer frame.
BACKGROUND
Conventional profiles for providing a barrier between a sill of an outer frame and an inner frame follow at least most of the profile of the jambs at the edges of the profile. This requires processing of the edges of a profile, as conventional jambs have stepped profiles following the transition from the inside of a building to the outside of the building.
For fixation of the barrier to the sill and for providing a seal between the profile and the sill, putty or silicone glue is used. The initially fluid material is provided under a large part of the profile, over the full length of the profile.
SUMMARY
It is preferred to provide material for providing a barrier between a sill and an inner frame for a window that requires less processing. Providing a profile that follows steps of a jamb - from inside a building towards the outside - requires milling and/or cutting of a profile, after a profile section has been cut from a larger, for example extruded, profile. The first cut is a straight cut, for which reason further cutting and/or milling is required. This is a costly process.
Furthermore, providing the putty and/or glue requires additional process steps during assembly of a full window frame, either at a factory or at a building site. Not only does the putty or glue have to be applied, but it also requires cleaning of material used for application of the sealant. A first aspect provides an elongated profile for covering a stepped section of a lower horizontal part of a frame in a building, the profile extending from a distal end and a proximal end of the profile. The profile comprises a first profile section ranging from the proximal end to the distal end having a first upper surface and a first lower surface opposite to the first upper surface and the profile comprising a second profile section ranging from the proximal end to the distal end having a second upper surface and connected to the first profile section. The second upper surface is lower than the first lower surface by a profile depth, relative to the first upper surface, the distal end and the proximal end have substantially straight end surfaces, substantially perpendicular to the upper surfaces and the length of the profile. Furthermore, the end surfaces are arranged for abutting a plug having a stepped section provided by a first bottom surface section and a second bottom surface section being lower than the first bottom surface section, thus forming a stepped profile having a plug depth, the plug depth being larger than the profile depth. A lower surface of the first profile section opposite to the first upper surface is provided with a liner comprising a resilient material, the liner substantially ranging from the distal end to the proximal end.
At the bottom of the profile, a seal is provided by the liner of resilient material, between the profile and the sill. At the ends of the profile, the sealing is provided by the ends being arranged to abut the plugs that follow at least one step of the sill. The plugs compensate the straight ends of the profile that do not follow steps in the jambs. The plug compensates for the difference in height between the first lower surface and the second upper surface. This provides a continuous seal from jamb to jamb, by a first plug, the liner and a second plug in series.
Whereas more components are required, the need for application of putty or glue is removed and no precision processing is required for milling ends of the profile to follow one or more steps in the jambs.
In an embodiment, the profile comprises a third profile section ranging from the proximal end to the distal end and connected to a longer end of the first profile section, the third profile section having a first surface being provided substantially perpendicularly to the second supper surface and facing the first profile section and the second profile section.
The third profile section provides an abutment for the inner frame that pivots from a position inside the outer frame to a position in which the inner frame is provided at least partially inside the building.
Another embodiment comprises a fourth profile section ranging from the proximal end to the distal end, provided on the first upper surface, the fourth profile section comprising a second surface being provided substantially perpendicularly to the first upper surface.
Also the fourth section provides an abutment for the inner frame that pivots from a position inside the outer frame to a position in which the inner frame is provided at least partially inside the building.
In a further embodiment, the lower surface comprises two protrusions ranging from the proximal end to the distal end comprising concave sections facing one another for holding the liner between the concave sections.
This embodiment allows a snare or hollow tube comprising a resilient material to be attached to the profile, between the concave sections. With this embodiment, no adhesive is required for holding the liner. A second aspect provides a plug for abutting an end surface of the distal end or the proximal end of a profile according to the first aspect. The plug comprises a first abutting side of the plug for abutting an end surface of the distal end or the proximal end of the profile and a second abutting side of the plug for abutting a jamb of a frame in a building, the first abutting side being opposite to the second abutting side. The plug further comprises a bottom surface comprising a first bottom surface section and a second bottom surface section, the first bottom surface section ranging from a proximal side of the plug to the second bottom surface section and the second bottom surface section ranging from the first bottom surface section to a distal side of the plug. With this plug, the second bottom surface section protrudes further from the plug than the first bottom section, thus forming a stepped profile having a plug depth, the plug depth being larger than the profile depth of the profile.
This plug complements the profile for sealing of ends of the profile towards at least part of a jamb. Together with the liner of the profile, the sides above the first bottom surface sections provide a continuous seal. And the stepped profile of the plug seals follows the step in the profile. Thus the plug and the profile provide a proper sealing between the profile and the sill and between the profile and jambs of an outer window frame. Optionally or alternatively, the plug depth is provided being more than a difference between the first upper surface and the second upper surface, more than a difference between the first lower surface and a second lower surface opposite to the second upper surface or being more than a difference between the first lower surface and the second lower surface. Whereas such plug provides a good seal between a sill and the profile according to the first aspect, it may be employed with other profiles as well, having a stepped profile section.
An embodiment comprises a step surface provided between the first bottom surface section and the second bottom surface section, the step surface being substantially vertical to the first bottom surface section. The step surface follows a step in a sill, providing good sealing.
In another embodiment of the second aspect, the step surface is provided with barbs oriented towards the first surface section. This embodiment enhances holding of the plug and makes unwanted removal of the plug from the frame more difficult. A third aspect provides a kit of parts comprising a profile according to the first aspect and a plug according to the second aspect. A fourth aspect provides a frame for an opening in a building. The frame comprises a left jamb having a first left jamb section and a second left jamb section connected by a left jamb step section substantially perpendicular to the first left jamb section and a right jamb having a first right jamb section and a second right jamb section connected by a right jamb step section substantially perpendicular to the first right jamb section. In this frame, the first left jamb section is facing the first right jamb section and the second left jamb section is facing the second right jamb section; and a first distance between the first left jamb section and the first right jamb section is larger than a second distance between the second left jamb section and the second right jamb section. The frame further comprises a sill comprising a first sill surface ranging from the first left jamb section to the first right jamb section and a second sill surface partly ranging from the first left jamb section to the first right jamb section and partly ranging from the second left jamb section to the second right jamb section. With this sill, the second sill surface is lower than the first sill surface by a sill depth. The frame further comprises a profile according to the first aspect of which the first profile section is connected to the first sill section, wherein the profile depth is less than the sill depth, a left plug according to the second aspect provided between the distal end of the profile and the first left jamb section and abutting the left jamb step section; and a right plug according to the second aspect provided between the distal end of the profile and the first right jamb section and abutting the right jamb step section.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION
Figure 1 A shows a wall 100 as part of a building, in which wall 100 an opening 110 is provided. In the opening 110, an outer frame is provided comprising a head 120, a left jamb 130, a right jamb 140 and a sill 150. Within the outer frame, an inner frame 160 is provided in which a glass window 170 is set. The inner frame 160 is preferably attached to the outer frame by means of hinges - at any part of the outer frame. This allows the inner frame 160 to swivel over a substantially horizontal and/or substantially vertical axis relative to the outer frame, depending on the type and location of the hinges. In the embodiments discussed below, the inner frame 160 swivels to the inside of the building, though embodiment in which the inner frame 160 swivels outwardly may be envisaged as well.
The various parts of the outer frame 160 and the inner frame may comprise wood, plastic and organic polymer in particular, metal like steel or aluminium, other, or a combination thereof. The parts may be milled, extruded, injection moulded or shaped through any other process or a combination of processing techniques. Figure 1 A shows the wall 100 from the inside of the building.
Figure 1 B shows a detail of the lower right part of the outer frame as shown by Figure 1 A. Figure 1 B shows the sill 150 and the right jamb 140. The sill 150 comprises a first sill surface 152 and a second sill surface 154 that is lower than the first sill surface 152. The first sill surface 152 and the second sill surface 154 thus provide a stepped sill section.
The right jamb 140 comprises a first right jamb section 142 at an inner side of the outer frame and a second right jamb section 144 at an outer side of the outer frame. Between the first right jamb section 142 and the second right jamb section 144, an optional right jamb indentation 146 is shown. At the most inner side of the right jamb 140, a third right jamb section 148 is provided. Inner and outer are in this embodiment to be understood as referring to positions relative to the inside and outside of a building in which the frame is set. The left jamb 130 is a mirrored version of the right jamb 140. This means that a first distance between the first right jamb section 142 and an equivalent first left jamb section is larger than a second distance between the second right jamb section 144 and an equivalent second left jamb section.
At an edge of the first sill surface 152 next to the stepped sill section, a profile 200 is provided. The profile 200 is preferably an aluminium extruded profile, but may comprise other or additional materials as well and may be manufactured using other or additional processing techniques. Between a right edge of the profile 200 and the first right jamb section 142, a profile plug 300 is provided. The profile plug 300 comprises a resilient material and is preferably fully made out of a resilient substance. Viewed from above, the profile plug 300 abuts a side 144A of the second right jamb section 144 facing the right jamb indentation 146 at one side of the profile plug 300 and an end of the profile 200 at an opposite .
Figure 2 A shows a cross-section of the profile 200. The profile 200 comprises a first profile section 210, a second profile section 220, a third profile section 230, a fourth profile section 240 and a fifth profile section 250. The second profile section 220 extends lower than the first profile section 210, the difference in height between the lower side of the first profile section 210 and the lower side of the second profile section 220 is a profile depth. The second profile section 220 and the first profile section 210 are connected via the fifth profile section 250.
The first profile section 210 and the second profile section 220 are provided substantially horizontally or substantially parallel to one another. It is noted that Figure 2 A shows the first profile provided 210 under and angle relative to the second profile section 220, but as long as the angle is less than about forty-five degrees and in particular less than 30 degrees, both sections are considered to be substantially parallel. The fifth profile section 250 is provided substantially perpendicular to the first profile section 210 and the second profile section 220.
Referring to Figure 1 B and Figure 2 A, the profile 200 is provided on the sill 150 such that the lower surface of the first profile section 210 rests on the first sill surface 152 and the fifth profile section 250 abuts a substantially vertical outside surface 156 between the first sill surface 152 and the second sill surface 154. For enhancing the latter abutment, a sixth profile section 260 is provided in extension of the fifth profile section 250, extending below the fifth profile section 250. Surfaces of the fifth profile section 250 and the sixth profile section 260 facing the first profile section preferably provide one substantially continuous surface. The lower surface of the second profile section 220 preferably does not touch the second sill surface 154. Hence, a profile depth defined by a level difference between the lower surfaces of the first profile section 210 and the second profile section 220 is less than a sill depth defined by a level difference between the first sill surface 152 and the second sill surface 154.
The third profile section 230 is provided substantially perpendicular to the second profile section 220 and connected to the second profile section opposite to the connection between the second profile section and the fifth profile section 250. Figure 2 A shows a slightly curved part of the third profile section 230 right above the connection between the third profile section 230 and the second profile section 220, yet most of the third profile section 230 is substantially perpendicular to the second profile section 220.
At an end of the first profile section 210, opposite to where the first profile section 210 is connected to the fifth profile section 250, the fourth profile section 240 is connected. The fourth profile section 240 is provided substantially perpendicular to the first profile section 210 and hence substantially parallel to the third profile section 230. In an alternative embodiment, the fourth profile section 240 is provided at another position at the first profile section 210. This applies to the connection between the third profile section 230 and the second profile section 220 as well.
At the bottom of the first profile section 210, a first elongated cavity 212 is provided over the length of the first profile section 210. Within the first elongated cavity 212, a first foam tape 214 may be provided. Alternatively or additionally, another liner comprising a preferably solid resilient material may be provided in the first elongated cavity 212, such as a tube or massive snare comprising natural or synthetic rubber. The first foam tape 214 preferably extends a bit from the first elongated cavity 212. With the lower surface of the firs profile section placed on the first sill surface 152, a substantially water-tight barrier is provided between the sill 150 and the profile 200. The foam liner 214 is preferably as long as the profile 200 or, alternatively, slightly longer. In the latter case, the first foam tape 214 should not obstruct abutment of the profile plug 300 against an outer edge of the profile 200 as depicted by Figure 1 B.
At a first end of the third profile section 230 opposite to a second end at which the third profile section 230 is connected to the second profile section 220, a second elongated cavity 232 is provided. In the second elongated cavity 232, a resilient and preferably hollow abutment liner 234 is provided. The abutment liner 234 preferably comprises rubber, either natural or synthetic. Alternatively, a second foam tape is provided. Alternatively or additionally, another liner comprising a resilient material may be provided in the second elongated cavity 232, such as a tube or massive snare comprising natural or synthetic rubber.
Whereas some of the liner types and materials named may require the cavities mentioned and show for properly attaching the liners to the profile 200, such cavities or otherwise shaped liner holding modules may be omitted. This is in particular the case when the liner 214 is provided with an adhesive substance for providing the liner 214 to the profile 200
The first end of the third profile section 230 and in particular the extensions towards the fourth profile section 240 that form the second elongated cavity 232 act as an abutment to the inner frame 160. The abutment liner 234 preferably extends a bit from the second elongated cavity 232. With the inner frame 160 abutting the second elongated cavity 232, a substantially water-tight barrier is provided between a lower side of the inner fame 160 and the profile 200.
Figure 2 B shows a top view of the profile 200. Within the second profile section 220, a through-hole 224 is provided, having semi-circular ends. The through-hole is provided for releasing water or other fluids that may need to be removed from a space above the second profile section 220. At the top, the second profile section 220 may be delimited by a lower side of the inner frame 160. Additionally or alternatively to the elongated through-hole 224, also square, fully circular, rectangular or other holes having smoothed or sharp corners may be provided to the same purpose.
Within the second profile section, a fastening hole 222 is provided. The fastening hole 222 provides room for a screw, nail or other elongated fastening unit for fastening the profile to the sill 150 through the first sill surface 152.
As shown by Figure 2 B, as well as Figure 1 B, the profile 200 has straight ends. This means at least the first profile section 210 and the second profile section 220 have substantially the same length. More in particular, the straight ends are provided substantially perpendicular relative to the length of the profile 200. In another embodiment, the ends of the profile 200 may be provided under an angle relative to the length of the profile 200. In another embodiment, the first profile section 210 and the second profile section 220 may have slightly different lengths or one or both profile sections may have protrusions or indentations at the ends. Whereas this is not preferred, it is an envisaged alternative. Furthermore, this means that a proximal edge 260 is provided substantially perpendicular to the length of the first profile section 210 and the second profile section 220 and substantially parallel to a distal edge 270.
Preferably, the third profile section 230, the fourth profile section 240, the fifth profile section 250 and the sixth profile section 260 are just as long as the first profile section 210 and the second profile section 220. This has an advantage that the profile 200 can be cut from a longer extruded profile by one single cut. This cut may be provided by conventional cutting, milling, sawing, grinding, water-jetting, laser cutting or any other way.
After that single cut, any sharp protrusions may be removed by means of grinding or similar processes.
Figure 3 A shows the profile plug 300 in further detail. The profile plug 300 is mirror-symmetrical over a plane between a first abutting surface 310 and a second abutting surface 320. This means that the profile plug 300 may be used between the first right jamb section 142 and the proximal edge 260, as well as between the first left jamb section and the distal edge 270 of the profile.
The profile plug further comprises a bottom surface ranging from a proximal end surface 360 to a distal end surface 370. The bottom surface comprises a first bottom surface section 332 and a second bottom surface section 334. The first bottom surface section 332 ranges from the proximal end surface 360 to a step surface 350 and the second bottom surface section 334 ranges from the step surface section 350 to the distal end surface 370. The step surface 350 is preferably provided substantially perpendicular to the first bottom surface section 332 and the second bottom surface section 334 and parallel to the proximal end surface 360 and the distal end surface 370.
In the body of the profile plug 300, indentations 380 are provided. The indentations 380 are provided as blind holes at both sides of the profile plug 300, in the first abutting surface 310 and the second abutting surface 320. The indentations contribute to reduction of material cost and resiliency of the profile plug 300.
Figure 3 B shows a side view of the profile plug 300. In Figure 3 B, a first angle a is indicated, which is the angle between a slanted top surface 340 of the profile plug 300 and the first bottom surface section 332. Parallel to the first bottom surface section 332, between the top surface and the proximal end surface, an optional straight top surface 342 is provided. The first angle a is preferably between 10 degrees and 75 degrees and more preferably between 20 degrees and 35 degrees, with preferred values of 24 degrees and 30 degrees for specific applications. On the step surface 350, barbs 352 are provided. The points of the barbs 352 point upward, towards the first bottom surface section 332.
Figure 3 C shows a top view of the profile plug 300. Figure 3 C shows the first abutting surface 310 having a first slanted side part 312 and the second abutting surface 320 having a second slanted side part 322. The first slanted side part 312 and the second slanted side part 322 are provided under a second angle 6 relative to the distal end surface 370. The second angle 6 may have a value between ninety degrees and sixty degrees, preferably between seventy and eighty degrees, with a value of seventy five being most preferred. The distal end surface 370 is preferably three millimetres narrower than the proximal end surface 360. This means the slanting distances 372 are both half of the three millimetres.
Figure 3 D shows a front view of the profile plug 300, towards the distal end surface 370. By virtue of part of the first abutting surface 310 and part of the second abutting surface 320 being provided under the angle 6 relative to the distal end surface 370, the first slanted side part 312 and the second slanted side part 322 are visible in Figure 3 D.
In others embodiments, the profile plug 300 is not symmetrical. In one embodiment, a left profile plug 300 comprises on the first slanted side part 312 and a right profile plug 300 comprises on the second slanted side part 322 - or the other way around. In yet another embodiment, an extension may be provided on the distal end surface, which extension, in use, extends beyond the side 144A (Figure 1 B) of the second right jamb section 144 facing the right jamb indentation 146. The extension would results in an extension of the first abutting surface 310, to provide a longer abutment for the profile 200. The extension is smaller than the full width of the profile plug 300, so another, opposite side of the extension would lie against the right jamb section 144.
As shown by Figure 1 B, the profile 200 and the profile plug 300 are preferably used in conjunction in the outer frame. Figure 4 A through Figure 4 D show how the profile 200 is applied to the outer frame, with profile plugs 300, for accommodating the inner frame 160.
Figure 4 A shows the right jamb 140 placed substantially vertical relative to the sill 150. The sill stepped section is provided in the vicinity of the transition between the right jamb indentation 146 and the end of the first right jamb section 142. This means a gap is present between the sill stepped section and the second right jamb section 144. When the right jamb indentation 146 is omitted, the first right jamb section 142 continues to where the second right jamb section 144 starts as depicted by Figure 4 A. The latter situation still leaves a gap between the sill stepped section and the second right jamb section 144. At the lower left of the outer window, a mirrored set up is available.
Figure 4 B shows the profile plug 300 placed in the lower right corner of the outer frame. A part of the profile plug 300 between the step surface 350 and a lower part of the distal end surface 370 is fit in the gap between the sill stepped section and the second right jamb section 144. The second abutting surface 320 is provided against the first right jamb section 142. The profile plug 300 is preferably slightly wider than a right stepped jamb section defined as a difference in the first right jamb section 142 and the second right jamb section 144 protruding inward to the outer frame. Alternatively, distal end surface 370 fully abuts the right stepped jamb section.
The proximal end surface 360 protrudes preferably slightly further towards the third right jamb section compared to the second right jamb section 144. Alternatively, the proximal end surface 360 is substantially flush with the first right jamb section 142 at the inside of the building.
Figure 4 C shows the profile 200 placed on the first sill surface 152.
The proximal edge 260 of the profile 200 is placed against the first abutting surface 310 of the profile plug 300. As discussed the left side of the outer frame is a mirrored version of the rights side of the outer frame as depicted by Figure 4 C. This means that the distal edge of the profile 200 is placed against the second abutting surface 320 of a further profile plug. The first abutting surface 310 of the further profile plug is placed against a second left jamb section.
With both the proximal edge 260 and the distal edge 260 of the profile 200 pressed against resilient profile plugs 330 that are in turn pressed against the jambs, substantially water tight barriers are provided between the profile 200 and the jambs. Also the liner 214 at the lower side of the profile 200 is pressed against the profile plugs. In this way, the first liner 214 contributes to providing a barrier as well. The protective function of the first liner 214 is continued towards the right jamb 140 by the profile plug 300. For providing the barrier, the profile plug 300 has a hardness of at least Shore 20 A, preferably at least Shore 50 A, whereas a hardness of at least Shore 70 A is preferred in particular. The profile plug 300 preferably has a hardness of less than 75 Shore A. This allows the profile 200 to be fitted between both the profile plugs 300 under a particular biasing force.
First the proximal edge 260 is pressed against the first abutting surface 310 of the left profile plug 300, with the profile 200 having a certain angle relative to the sill 150. Subsequently, the profile 200 is positioned horizontally on the sill 150, while maintaining pressure against the left profile plug 300. Next, the profile 200 is released. For this operation, the profile plug 300 preferably has a hardness of less than Shore 70 A.
Figure 4 D shows the inner frame 160 placed in the outer frame. The outside of the inner frame 160 abuts the abutment liner 234. A lower protrusion 162 of the inner frame 160 is provided with an inner frame liner 164 which abuts the fourth profile section 240. The inner frame liner 164 is provided along the perimeter of the inner frame 160, including the sides. This means that the inner frame liner also abuts the first right jamb section 142. For providing a proper seal between the inner frame 160 and the outer frame, the fourth profile section 240, the proximal sides 360 of the profile plugs 300 left and right and a further jamb step section between the first right jamb section 142 and the third right jamb section 146 are substantially in one and the same plane. On the other hand, if the inner frame liner 164 has some steps, the ensemble of the outer frame and the profile which ensemble abuts the inner frame 160 and the inner frame liner 164 in particular, has some steps as well.
In summary, a set is provided comprising a profile for covering a sill of a window frame and two plugs for providing a seal between opposite ends of the profile and a left and right jamb of the window frame, respectively. At the ends, the profile has straight sections, rather than a stepped profile. With the jambs having stepped sections, spaces exist between the profile ends and the jambs. These spaces are filled by means of the plugs. As the plugs a provided in a resilient material, they contribute to sealing between the profile and the window frame. The plugs have stepped bottom section to accommodate a stepped section of the sill. Also the bottom has a stepped section, by providing two elongate sections at different levels. At a bottom side of the profile, preferably at the highest section, a liner is provided for providing sealing between the profile and the sill.
