Abstract

By the invention it is possible for a hinged opening frames system (glazing and shutter), to be constructed, having a sash profile (1) with a groove (2) as shown in Figures 4 & 5 and a basic frame's profile (3) with a groove (4), where eventually the locking profile (5), which is initially placed into the groove (2) of the sash profile (1), being pushed out, enters the groove (4) of the basic frame's profile (3), so that the sash's (1) movable framework secures and literally embodies with the basic frame's (3) stable framework, in a way that makes the whole frame completely inviolable. The main motion's transmission accessory (9) is adjusted to the frame's cremone, which by being rotated, transmits motion to the drive belt (12), as shown in Figure 7, which moves the accessories (7), which push out the locking profiles (5), which in turn enter circumferentially into the groove (4) of the framework assembled by the basic frame's profile (3).

Description

INVIOLABLE OPENING FRAMES SYSTEM

The invention refera to an Inviolable system of opening hinged frames, for doors and Windows, (giazing and shutters), whose two main profiles (the basic frame & the sash) are designed In such a way, that by the addition of the minimum accessories, enables the entrapment and full intégration of the movable framework of the sash Into the already stable on the wall, framework of the basic frame.

So far the manufacturing technologies of aluminium Systems for hinged opening doors and Windows, has not yielded any similar invention. In current Systems, the methods of locking the movable framework made of the sash's profile, Into the stable framework made of the basic frame’s profile, require several and highly time-consuming processes which use many complex and expensive accessories, without eventualiy achieving an Inviolable locking between the two frames. Even In mounting drcumferential locking system of multiple points, the chance of an invasion romains feasible, even by using rolatively simple forms of mechanical stress upon the locking mechanism of the frame.

The Invention, with the intention to solve the above disadvantages, foliows a brand new and innovatlve method in designing and constructing the two profiles, of the sash and of the basic frame, in the hinged opening Systems, for doors and Windows, achieving a circumferential projection and extension of the sash, which by rotating the cremone to the locking position, pénétrâtes circumferentiaily into the profile of the basic frame, ali the way aiong the entire length of the perimeter of the framework and makes it totally Inviolable.

An example of the construction method of the system, is described hereunder, with référencé to several drawings which clearly iliustrate how to implement the basic prindple of the Invention, where Figures 3 and 6 iliustrate accessories of the system In the normal and Inverted side, in such a way as to disclose the necessary details:

Figure 1 shows the cross section of a profile of a hinged opening aluminium sash (1), which has been designed, having as its main characteristic the existence of a groove (2). Figure 2 shows the cross section of a profile of an aluminium basic frame (3), which has as Its main characteristic the existence of a groove (4), which is going to host the accessory (5) that Is shown In Figure 3. Figure 3 shows a part of the locking profile (5), which is In the form of a TT, which Is shaped in such a way that it présents the appropriate inclined matériel removal at the two fadng (opposite) sides, at standard distances. Figure 4 shows the locking profile’s (5) cross section, being placed into the groove (2) of the hinged opening aluminium sash profile (1), in its final place rolatively to the profile of the basic frame (3). In Figure 4, the locking System has not been activated. Figure 5 shows the

-2same cross section as In Figure 4, with the différence that the locking System Is activated and the locking profile (5) is pushed out and has entered into the groove (4) of the profile of the basic frame (3), resulting the profile of the sash (1) has been embodied with the basic frame profile (3) and eventually to achieve the circumferential locking of the whole hinged openlng frame of a door or a window. Figure 6 shows the accessory (7) that pushes out or restores the locking profile (5) and It has the latéral projections (8), with the help of which, It enters into the groove (2) of the sash's profile (1). The main accessory (9) of the motion transmission also has latéral projections (8), which help It to slide into the groove (2) of the profile of the sash (1), as is shown at Figures 4, 5 & 6. Figure 7 Illustrâtes in détail, the main accessory (9) for the motion transmission from the cremone toward the drive belt (12). Thus, Figure 7 shows two throughbores (10) and (11) In which screws (commercially available) are entering as follows: the screw in the hole (10) immobilizes one end of the drive belt (12), after having entered the main accessory (9) through the hole of rectangular cross section (14), while the other end of the drive belt, after driven along the perimeter of the frame, It enters to the corresponding rear hole of similar cross-section (15) and finally exits from the upper end of the bore (15).

At this stage and before the Immobilization of the main accessory (9) to the drive belt (12) with the aid of a screw (commercially available), which goes into the hole (11), précédés a stretchlng of the drive belt (12) and then the protruding part Is to be removed. Also in Figure 7 Is illustrated a pin (17) which goes into the hole (16) of the main accessory (9) and transmits the movement of the cremone, (commercially available), to the main accessory (9). Figure 8 Illustrâtes In detail the accessory (7), which pushes out or restores the locking profile (5) as Is shown In Figure 6, which has a hole (18) In which a screw (commercially available) goes and Immobilizes the accessory (7) on the drive belt (12). Also Figure 8 illustrâtes, the throughbore (19) of rectangular cross section, In which the drive belt (12) goes through and also shows, the latéral projections (8), by means of which the accessory (7) slides Into the groove (2) of the profile of the sash (1). Figure 9 Illustrâtes the accessory (20) that will be placed at the four corners of the frame, assembled by the sash profile (1), In order to restrict the latéral motion of the locking accessory (5). The accessory (20) also has latéral projections (8) with the aid of which Is placed into the groove (2) of the profile of the sash (1) and a throughbore of rectangular cross section (21) from which the drive belt (12) freely passes through, cornes out and changes direction.

By the use of the sash’s profile (1), the movable openlng frame can be assembled and be installed, by means of hinges (commercially available), on the stable framework that has been assembled by the use of the profile of the basic frame (3), according to the well known technical custom.

The basic prindple of the Implémentation of the locking method, according to the Invention, can be applied In the following three basic phases.

-3Phase 1: The main accessory (9) Is slid and placed into the groove (2) of the sash’s profile (1), which Is adjusted to the cremone by the use of the pin (17). As the cremone revolves by an Indivldual, it transforms the rotary motion to linear motion that !s moves the main accessory (9), which In tum transfers the motion to the drive belt (12) with whom it Is securely attached.

Phase 2: As long as the drive belt (12) moves, It transmits the linear motion to the accessories (7), that push out or restore the locklng profiles (5), which are placed drcumferentially along the four sldes of the sash’s frame (1 ) and which are securely attached to the drive belt (12).

Phase 3: The accessories (7), which are slid in the groove (2) of the sash’s profile, because of their slope, as they move towards a direction, oblige the locking profiles (5), to get pushed out along ail four sldes of the movable frame assembled by the sash’s profile (1), slnce the locklng profiles (5) also hâve In both sldes Inclined material removal of simllar slope. That has as a resuit the circumferential projection of the locklng profiles (5) and their entering into the groove (4) of the profile of the baslc frame (3). The reason that the locklng profiles (5), are belng pushed out from the sash’s profile (1) framework, Is because of the initial placement of the latéral motion's restriction accessory (20) of the locklng profile (5), at the sash’s frameworks four corners, during the assembling stage of the framework.

At this phase, the movable frame made of the sash profile (1) (glazing or shutter), Is locked and embodied with the stable framework made of the baslc frame's profile (3), in such a way that it makes the whoie hlnged opening aluminium frame completeiy inviolable.

As the cremone revolves afterwards to its original place, the above mechanism Is activated backwards and unlocks the movable framework of the sash’s profile (1) from the stable framework of the baslc frame's profile (3), since the locklng profile (5) is forced to retum to Its original place In the groove (2), at ail four sides of the framework. The extremely strong and absolutely secure embodiment of the two frames (movable and stable), of a hinged opening aluminium frame, door or wlndow, In the way that It Is described above, Is the main principle of the Invention.

The above main accessories and materials, can be used In any form desired, In any size or shape and they cooperate, as shown In the drawings attached, according to Its main purpose and Implementatlon's method.

For every need conceming construction, the forms of the accessories may be changed, without altering the main principle of the Invention, with the advantages that were described above, which are the resuit of the study and the designlng of this Invention.
