Description

DESCRIPTION

The present invention relates to a window or balcony window, or the like, with ventilated frames, comprising: a first frame able to ensure a movable frame function, comprising a recess and an inner recess for an internal window pane by confining a blade between the latter, a second frame capable of ensuring a fixed frame function in which the first frame is intended to be positioned in a closed position of the window, balcony window or the like, means for establishing a fluid connection between the air blade and the exterior, at least in said closing position. The prior art discloses such windows, bay windows or the like. Generally, this type of window or balcony window dictated by ventilated frames refers to swing-type or swing-stop window type windows, and offers multiple possibilities in terms of thermal, sound, or light insulation. For example, in the blade of air between the said external pane and the said inner pane, we can place a light concealment means, namely a roller shutter. By the term "windows", "balcony" or "analogue" means all windows or balcony windows in which the movable rim is movable, or in which the movable rim has been definitively fixed in the closed position, and / or in which the external glazing and / or interior has been replaced by a 1 concealment panel. The frame is said to be vented in order to allow the air blade to have a fluid relationship with the exterior, i.e. by definition with the environment situated on the side of the pane or said outer panel, thereby preventing air circulation across the surface of the chamber comprised between the two interior and exterior glazing. In routine use, such windows or balconies separate the interior from the exterior of a construction, and the fluid ratio of the air sheet to the exterior essentially allows a balance of the air sheet pressures, and prevent or mitigate condensation risks in the inside it. The inner pane may be a double pane for good thermal insulation, and the outer pane may be a single thick pane intended for sound insulation of the window or balcony window.

More particularly, FR2784709, FR2784710 or EP-A-1403461 discloses such windows with ventilated frames. These windows comprise, according to FR 2 784 709, on the one hand on the mobile frame frame at least one passageway or an orifice disposed in the range of the exterior and interior glazing to allow the pressure balance between the glazing area and the exterior and, on the other hand, in the fixed rim, at least one passage or orifice which places the inter-glazing zone sufficiently in communication with the outside of the window to establish this pressure or air circulation equilibrium. According to the document FR 2 784 710, said at least one passage or hole disposed in the movable frame frame terminates in the inter-glazing zone and in a peripheral chamber that is delimited by the movable frame frame and the fixed frame, this peripheral chamber communicating by means with the outside environment of the window. EP-A-1403461 discloses a ventilated frame according to the preamble of claim 1.

Such windows or balcony windows with ventilated frames have the drawback of requiring specific machining and sealing in the recess between the movable frame and the fixed frame. In addition, such a vented frame arrangement has the drawback of interacting with the hardware and drains of the ventilated frame. It should be noted that the routing of the ventilation holes or passageways is long and complex, thus causing load losses which must be compensated for by larger flow passage sections. The present invention aims to mitigate these drawbacks and bring about other advantages. More precisely, it consists of a window including a bay window in which the movable ring has been definitively secured in a closed position, and / or in which the exterior and / or the interior pane has been replaced by a blinded panel, said with ventilated frame, comprising : a first frame suitable for securing a movable frame function, comprising an outer recess for an said external glazing and an inner recess for an said inner glazing confining a blade of air between the latter, a second frame capable of ensuring a flap function fixed in which the first frame is intended to be positioned in a closed position of said window, a balcony window, means for establishing a fluid connection between the air blade and the exterior, at least in said closing position, characterized in that it comprises : at least one fluid passageway in which one end opens onto a surface of an interposed profile in contact with the outside, and wherein the other end opens into the air blade, said at least one fluid passageway being formed in said interlayer profile associated with the first frame, interposed between a peripheral profile constituting the first frame, said outer recess, and the outer glazing, said intermediate profile being fixed in said outer recess of the peripheral profile constituting the first frame, by means of a frame or the like. The establishment of direct ventilation through the aperture allows to avoid having to work or machine the fixed ring, and allows to simplify the ventilation device making it more direct. The window according to the present invention furthermore has the advantage that it does not require matching, and therefore adjustment of the ventilation device, between the movable ring and the fixed ring. The window according to the invention provides as much external ventilation as possible due to a passage through the movable rim between the air slide and the outside. The window according to the invention makes it possible to avoid any machining of the fixed ring relative to the ventilation device, resulting in a simplification of manufacture and thus in particular a gain in manufacturing time and a decrease in the risks of imperfection. The window according to the invention has the advantage that it does not require any tightness between the movable ring and the fixed ring, neither machining nor any tightness in the recess between the movable ring and the fixed ring. The interlayer profile allows a pre-machined element to be integrated in the lower part of the glass pane between the movable frame frame and the external pane itself, said intermediate profile itself ensuring the principle of ventilation of the air blade. In the case of opaque panels replacing the window panes, the interlayer 4 may serve as a ventilation support being positioned on the periphery of the panel of choice, i.e. on the top and bottom, or for example on the side parts. The fixing of the interlayer in an outer recess of the peripheral profile constituting the first frame, by means of a frame or the like requires no specific adaptation, and is therefore very easy to use. In the case of an existing mobile frame frame, the insertion of the intermediate profile only requires a pane of different size in order to allow insertion of the intermediate profile in the recess, the pane being maintained in the interim profile.

According to an advantageous feature, said intermediate profile is interposed between the lower outer profile constituting the first frame and the outer pane.

This feature allows you to locate the ventilation passages at the bottom of the window.

According to an advantageous feature, said interlayer profile comprises anti-dust filter means transversely to said at least one fluid passageway.

The dust filter means incorporated in the intermediate profile allows the filter to be replaced for maintenance if it is to ensure the ventilation function of the air blade, without dismantling the fillers (glass panes or the like). the leakage of the ventilated frame. By an anti-dust filter, this is understood to mean any known type of filter, also in particular ensuring the function of preventing the insects from penetrating the air blade, and more broadly not being reactive to moisture and advantageously being able to ensure a function of attenuation. The filters may advantageously be a striking element of the product by integrating a particular aesthetic and may convey the technicality of the product and for example a trade mark.

According to an advantageous feature, said intermediate profile comprises a male part simulating a glass pane and intended to be housed in the outer recess of a peripheral profile of the first frame. According to an advantageous feature, said intermediate profile comprises: an intermediate recess in which the outer glazing is housed by means of a glazing joint, a layer interconnecting the interlayer recess and the male part of the interlayer profile, in which said flap is advantageously formed at least one fluid passage.

According to an advantageous feature, the connecting layer consists of two perforated walls arranged respectively on the underside and outer side in order to ensure the fluid passages.

According to an advantageous feature of the window, a balcony window, or the like, according to the invention: said end of said at least one fluid passage opening on a surface of the intermediate profile in contact with the outside is constituted by an opening in the wall pierced portion of the layer disposed on the outer side, and said end of said at least one fluid passage opening in an air blade is constituted by an aperture formed in the apertured wall of the layer disposed on the side in contact with the air blade. 6

According to an advantageous feature, said apertures in the perforated wall of the layer disposed on the outer side and the perforated wall of the laterally disposed layer in contact with the air blade, take the form of a plurality of circular holes or oblong luminaires distributed over the length of the interim profile.

According to an advantageous feature, the opening of the outer side is carried out continuously along the length of the interlayer, only the inner wall of the layer ensuring the mechanical resistance of the interlayer to the weight of the pane, and supporting the aperture in the perforated wall of the layer disposed side in contact with the air blade.

According to an advantageous feature, the window, window, or the like, according to the invention further comprises: an intermediate profile which is interposed between the upper outer profile constituting the first frame and the external window pane, and comprising: a male part simulating a glazing edge and intended to be housed in the outer recess of the peripheral profile of the first frame, an intermediate recess in which the outer glazing is housed by means of a glazing joint, a layer interconnecting the interlayer recess and the male part of the interim profile , consisting of two walls arranged respectively on the inner side and the outer side, one of the walls of the layer having an aperture continuously carried over the length of the interlayer, the other wall of the layer not having an aperture and ensuring the mechanical strength of the interlayer .

According to an advantageous feature, said intermediate profile interposed between the upper outer profile constituting the first frame and the outer pane is mounted in a so-called reverse assembly so that the continuous aperture is on the side of the air blade.

Further features and advantages will appear in the following example of the embodiment of a window, balcony window or the like according to the invention, accompanied by the accompanying drawings, for example by way of non-limiting illustration. Figure 1 shows a vertical cross-sectional view of the lower part of a ventilated window frame of the prior art. Figure 2 shows a vertical cross-sectional view of the bottom of an exemplary embodiment of a window with ventilated window according to the invention. Figure 3 shows a vertical cross-sectional view of the upper part of the window according to the example of figure 2. The prior art window shown in figure 1, said with ventilated frame, comprises: a first frame 1 able to ensure a movable frame function , comprising an outer recess 26 for an outside pane 2 and an inner recess by an inside pane 3 confining an air blade 4 therebetween, a second frame 5 suitable for ensuring a fixed ring function in which the first frame 1 is intended to be positioned in a closed position of the window, position shown in figure 1, - means 6 for establishing a fluid connection between the air slide 4 and the outside 7 in the closed position.

As explained above, the means 6 for establishing a fluid connection between the air slide 4 and the outside 7 comprises passages 8 traversing the first frame 1 of the movable frame 16 and the second frame 5 or fixed frame, these passages 8 comprise at least one tube 10 fixed to the fixed rim terminating at one end over an aperture 12 of the lower profile of the fixed rim and intended at the other end to be in correspondence with an aperture 11 embodied in a profile 15 of the movable rim 1, which comprises the outer recess 26 in the which is housed the outer pane, the aperture 11 being in fluid communication with the air blade 4, as shown in figure 1, by a passage 14 in the movable rim passing through a sealing gasket 13 of the air blade 4 and the profile 15 of the the mobile frame with thermal bridge rupture entering the constitution of the frame 1 of the movable frame and in contact with the fixed frame, as shown in figure 1 in the closing position of the window. The window partially shown in figure 2 takes up the prior art elements similar to those in figure 1 in order to better make the invention of the prior art stand out. These elements of figure 2 functionally similar to those of figure 1 have the same numerical reference number added as 100. The window shown in figure 2 comprises: a first frame 101 able to assure a movable frame function, comprising an outer recess 126 for a pane 102 and an inner recess for an inside pane 103 by confining an air blade 104 therebetween, a second frame 105 suitable for securing a fixed frame function in which the first frame 101 is adapted to be positioned in a position of the window, position shown in figure 2, means 106 for establishing a fluid connection between the air blade 104 and the exterior 107, in the closing position, at least comprising means 106 for establishing a fluid connection between the blade air 104 and the exterior 107 in this closed position, at least one fluid passageway 120 wherein one end 121 opens on a surface ie of an intermediate profile 124 in contact with the exterior 107, and wherein the other end 122 opens in the air blade 104, as shown in Figure 2. The fluid passageway 120 shown in Figure 2 opens on the air blade 104 on a vertical face of the blade and no longer on the peripheral seal 113 of this air blade, as in the example of Figure 1, and which essentially allows the fluid and thermal tightness between the interior 123 and the air blade 104.

As shown in Figure 2, the fluid passages 120 are formed in the interlayer 124 associated with the first frame 101, advantageously interposed between the lower outer peripheral profile 115 constituting the first frame 101, the outer recess 126 including the outer pane 102. The interlayer 124 is secured to the outer recess 126 of the peripheral profile 115 constituting the first frame 101, by means of a frame or the like.

Thus, the essential differences between the example of figure 2 and that of figure 1 reside: in the absence of any ventilation passage or duct of the air blade 104 passing through the fixed ring 105, as well as the space 125 comprised between the fixed ring 105 and the movable ring 116 in the advantageous absence of any ventilation aperture of the air knife 104 in the peripheral sealing profile 113 in the advantageous absence of any air passageway or venting passage 104 through the profile 115 until the thermal bridge rupture of the frame 101 of the movable hoop 116, in the advantageous presence of an intermediate profile 124 according to an essential medium of the invention, advantageously fixed in a recess 126 of the peripheral profile 115 of the first frame 101, by means of a frame 127 or the like, ventilation means 108 of the air knife 104, - in an outer pane 102 of different size, which is the consequence of the joining of the intermediate profile 124 and the outlet in consideration of its dimensions.

As in figure 1, the frame 101 of the movable frame 116 comprises in a known manner an inner profile 128 and an outer profile 115 with thermal bridge rupture fixed to the inner profile 128, as shown in Figure 2, the outer recess 126 being formed in a profile outside 115. 11

As shown in figure 2, the interlayer 124 comprises an interlayer 129 in which the outer pane 102 is housed via a glazing joint 130, a male part 131 simulating a glazing edge and intended to be housed in the outer recess 126 of the profile 115 of the frame 101 of the movable hoop 116, a layer 132 interconnecting the intersperse recess 129 and the male part 131, in which the fluid passages 120 are advantageously formed as described above. The male part 131 of the interlayer 124 may be constituted by two walls distant from the value of the thickness of the pane which could be inserted in the outer recess 126, as shown in the example of Figure 2. The connecting layer 132 may be constituted by two perforated walls disposed on the inner side and outer side to ensure the flow passages 120. As shown in Figure 2, the male portion 131, the layer 132, and the recess 129 are advantageously aligned in a same plane, vertically disposed when the interlayer 124 is mounted to the outer peripheral profile 115 of the first frame 101 of the movable frame 116; thus, the outer recess 126 of the peripheral profile 115 of the first frame 101, the interlayer 124, and the outer pane 102 are advantageously aligned in a same plane forming the outer surface of the aperture, that the interlayer 124 is mounted on the lower, upper , and / or sides. Such a configuration allows to maintain an aesthetic according to the needs, the sought-after flatness of the facades. It is pointed out in Figures 2 and 3 that, when the fixed ring 105 has an outer stopper on which the movable ring 116 comes into abutment when it is closed, more particularly the frame 127 and the peripheral profile 115, the inter-profile 124 allows to ensure a near continuity of flatness of the outer surface of the window between the fixed rim flap and the outer pane.

When performing the intermediate profile 124, it is to be ensured that the flow passages 120 flow well into the air slide 104, preferably on the bottom thereof as shown in Figure 2. 12

The openings 121 and 122 of the layer 132, respectively, outer side 107 and side in contact with the air knife 104, may take the form of a plurality of circular holes or oblong luminaires distributed along the length of the profile in an appropriate amount depending on the volume of the air blade in order to ensure proper ventilation. The exterior side aperture 121 may alternatively be carried out continuously along the length of the profile, only the inner layer 132 thus ensuring the mechanical strength of the interlayer to the weight of the glazing, and holding the apertures 122 as described above.

It will be appreciated that with such a device, the ventilation function is rendered independent of the movable frame carrier frame comprising the thermal bridge rupture profile 115 and the inner metallic profile 128, of the fixed ring 105, of the profile of the peripheral sealing 113, to be confined in a single interlayer 124, which may according to the needs be arranged alternatively or additionally in the lower part of the frame of the movable ring, in the upper part as shown in figure 3, in the side parts (not shown ). Ventilation of the air blade is ensured whether the movable ring is in the open or in the closed position on the fixed ring.

As shown in figure 2, the interlayer 124 advantageously comprises anti-dust filter means 133 which are arranged transversely to the fluid passages 120, preferably in the part of the interlayer 124 constituting the connecting layer 132, and against the apertures 122 in the part inside the layer 132, as shown in Figure 2. The filter 133 may advantageously be a wire-running filter, namely of the known stainless steel filter type, which allows not only dust removal but also and more widely insects so that all of these objects do not penetrate the air blade 104. The filter thus placed may if necessary be replaced without disassembling the fillers. The main sealing of the movable frame is thus not jeopardized during this maintenance operation.

Advantageously, the interlayer 124 may be provided with the ventilation openings either in a single finish, or of the color desired by the architect.

As shown in Figure 3, the interlayer 124 advantageously placed in the upper part of the movable ring 101, may allow the attachment of a blind 134 in the attachment layer 132 between the intersperse recess 129 and the male part 131, as shown in figure . The upper interlayer 124 is secured as its lower pair at the outer recess 126 of the upper profile 115, and the interior space of the layer 132 is advantageously utilized by insertion of a fastening element of the blind 134. To this end, the interlayer 124 is mounted inverted with respect to the lower profile 124 so that the movable ring 121 is on the side of the air blade 104. The upper inter-profile 124, contrary to the lower interlayer profile, does not have any ventilation flap 122 on the now outer wall of the layer (in the upper position of figure 3), in order to remain in the frame of application of the said ventilated frame which does not have air circulation at the height of the air blade 104, the function of the upper profile 124 being to provide a uniformity of the aesthetics of the movable ring, the fixation of the blind 134 or other concealment device inserted in the air blade 104, and the masking, seen from the ext the top of the blind 134 as shown in figure 3. It should be noted that the window according to Figures 2 and 3 may or may not contain a tightness (not shown) between the frame 127 for fixing the intermediate profile 124 and the fixed ring 105, the latter can behave in an appropriate and known manner , water drainage holes 135 if necessary. 14

The constituent profiles of the inner and outer frame 105 are generally in metal alloy or in plastic materials, separated by crosspieces with thermal bridge rupture in case of use of metal alloy, and the profiles constituting the movable hoop 116, interior 128 and exterior 115, being respectively metallic and plastic, in order to obtain profiles with thermal bridge rupture for fixed ring and movable ring stop. The interlayer 124 may be made of metal or plastic material.
