Description

The invention relates to a device with sliding elements, in particular to a device for sliding walls, respectively, of a balcony glazing, comprising sliding sliding elements with a lower face and an upper face that are movable in substantially the same sliding plane and at least connected to the lower edge of the rolling body, which are included in the corresponding bottom profile and usually move in it. Rolling bodies in most cases serve to guide the sliding elements in the corresponding profile and / or to receive their weight, which is transmitted through the lower profile to the wall.

The devices with slide elements from which the invention is based are described many times (see, for example, EP 0902153 A2, CH 671068 A, CH 600111 A, RU 8401 U1, and also WO 92/17673 Al). According to the prior art, usually along with the specified lower profile, an upper profile is necessarily provided, and both the upper face and the lower face of each sliding element are provided with rolling bodies that are included in the respective profiles. It is believed that this is the only way to cope with significant weight while gliding flawlessly. In addition, in devices with sliding elements that are installed externally, forces arise in the lateral direction, which are most often caused by wind or rain. They also have to be reckoned with.

Therefore, according to the prior art, upper and lower rolling guides are usually required for movable sliding elements. This is costly already because both the lower face and the upper face of the sliding element must be provided with rolling bodies. In addition, it is necessary to provide profiles adapted to the rolling elements. In this regard, new problems arise. The flawless movement of movable sliding elements requires that the profiles pass in a straight line so that the rolling bodies can move without distortion in them. Such passage of profiles can not always be ensured, in particular, when it is necessary to repair old buildings.

This is mainly due to the fact that in most cases the upper profile is attached to another balcony located above the glazed balcony, while the lower profile is on the glazed balcony. In the past, such problems were tried to be circumvented due to the fact that the upper as well as the lower profiles were provided with an appropriate lining to ensure the desired rectilinear passage. But this method is also very expensive. The present invention is intended to solve these problems.

The basis of the invention is the technical task to improve the device with the sliding elements specified at the beginning of the design so as to facilitate installation with a simple and inexpensive design. In addition, it is necessary to provide the ability to set a variable number of sliding elements.

To solve this problem, the invention provides a device with sliding elements, in particular a device for sliding walls and / or for glazing balconies, containing, in essentially the same plane of sliding, sliding sliding elements with a lower face and an upper face and at least the lower face of the installed rolling body, which are included in the corresponding lower profile, and the upper face of the sliding element has only at least one fixed lateral guide, while for the lateral direction of the upper preferably sliding guide rails, in particular brush strips, are provided to it on the faces of the sliding element, moreover, there are two guide rails between which the sliding element is placed, both guide rails being located in the upper profile, the lower edge of the element being provided with at least one hook, configured to cover at least one shoulder of the running rail for the rolling body.

The device can be made with two hooks, made with the ability to cover in the form of a clip on both sides formed by two shoulders T-shaped head of the running rail.

The device can be made with a hook, which is an integral part of the profile plate attached to the bottom of the frame.

The device can be configured to resize along the width of both profiles and have a modular design with corresponding edge elements and middle elements located between them in any quantity, so that a freely selectable number of sliding elements can pass through them.

The device can be made with a connection in the tongue and groove for connecting edge elements and middle elements.

The device can be made with fasteners passing through the corresponding connection into the tongue and groove and embedded in the wall to fix the joints in the tongue and groove and install profiles.

The device can be made with profiles that can accommodate additional devices, such as, for example, a marquise, a folding net from flies.

A device with sliding elements, in which the upper face of the sliding element is made without rolling elements and has only at least a fixed lateral guide. This lateral guide is in most cases one or more guide rails, which are preferably flexible. Typically, brush strips are used to guide the upper face of the sliding element. The difference is that they are equipped with brushes, the weaving density of which increases, starting from the sliding element in the direction of the strip carrying the brush. Due to this, the brush strips provide increasing resistance to the sliding element as it wears.

In most cases, two guide rails are provided, respectively two brush strips, between which a sliding element is placed. Both rail guides can preferably be located on one upper profile. This can be done, for example, so that the sliding element slides into the corresponding longitudinal grooves of the upper profile. In this case, it must be ensured that the sliding element with its upper face enters between the two guide rails at least so much that even at maximum lateral forces and the associated deflection of the sliding element, slipping out of this double fixed guide is prevented.

In order to ensure that under such loads and tensile and compressive forces caused by wind (and / or rain), the lower edge of the sliding element does not come out of the corresponding lower profile, it is provided that the lower edge is provided with at least one catch, which covers at least one shoulder respectively one rail for the movement of the rolling body. As a rule, two hooks are provided, which, like a clamp, cover on both sides a T-shaped upper part of the rail formed by two shoulders or protrusions. This T-shaped upper part can be made on its surface in the form of a mushroom, if a roller with correspondingly made concave working surfaces is used as a rolling body. In this case, such a roller rolls in a perpendicular position back and forth in the longitudinal direction of the profile with its concave working surface along the mushroom-shaped upper part.

The hook may be an integral part of the profile lining connected to the lower part of the frame. This profile plate is preferably made in the form of a zinc part, molded under pressure, and it can be snapped into contact with the lower part of the frame, which in turn provides support for the lower face of the sliding element.

It is especially important that both profiles for placement on one side of the guide rails and on the other side of the rolling elements must be made with the possibility of changing in width and have a modular design. For this purpose, corresponding edge elements and middle elements located between them in any quantity are provided, so that it is possible to ensure the direction of the selected number of sliding elements using both guide rails. Thus, both profiles, respectively guide profiles, can be performed as needed, so that theoretically between them you can place an unlimited number of sliding elements. Due to this, glazing of any length can be realized.

To connect the individual parts of the profile, respectively, of the edge elements and middle elements, corresponding connections are provided in the tongue and groove. In this case, the ridge is made in the form of profiles similar to the hinge head passing along the longitudinal axis of the profile rail. The tongue is a corresponding nest-shaped profile extending along the longitudinal axis of the profile rail.

The connection in the tongue and groove provides, due to its axial support, not only a uniform horizontal connection of the individual profile elements, respectively, of the edge elements and middle elements, but also an oblique connection. To make the connection into the tongue and groove, the corresponding profile elements must be axially displaced from the end face relative to each other, respectively inserted into each other. In this case, the hinge gap is made so that easy movement relative to each other is provided.

Although aluminum extruded profiles are usually used to perform both profiles, respectively profile rails, this assembly is performed without problems. This is due to the fact that these profiles are pre-assembled with a coating, in particular a powder coating, which ensures proper sliding. Naturally, it is possible, as an alternative solution or in addition to this, also to use sliding means.

For fixing the connection in the tongue and groove and the installation of profiles provided corresponding passing through the connection in the tongue and groove mounting means, respectively, mounting fingers. These fastening fingers, respectively means, can be positioned with a shift relative to each other and divert the arising forces directly into the wall or into the corresponding frame structure in which the fastening means is fixed and on which the profiles are attached. Consequently, the resulting forces from the side of the sliding elements associated with their own weight and the emerging lateral forces do not act on the hinge, but are diverted through the fastening means, respectively the fastening fingers, into the wall, respectively, into the frame structure.

Finally, these profiles are suitable for accommodating additional devices. It can be a marquise, folding protection against flies, etc. For this purpose, in most cases, it is possible to replace the corresponding edge elements of the profile rail with arbitrarily executed special profiles. These special profiles then place insect nets, shading devices, marquises, etc.

Thus, the invention provides a device with sliding elements, which has a particularly simple and cost-effective design. This is ensured by the fact that on the upper face of the sliding elements, rollers, respectively, of the rolling body are not required at all, fixed (single-sided) or bilateral lateral guides are used instead. Due to the fact that the upper face of the corresponding sliding element to a certain depth is between the two side guides, it is possible to cope with the deflection of the sliding element without problems. Such deflections are usually manifested in the form of tensile or compressive forces, which are directed vertically to the corresponding plane of the element and are caused by wind or rain pressure. Thus, the described device with sliding elements is reliable in operation with both a simple and cost-effective design.

To this is added that installation is greatly facilitated. This is also due to the absence of rolling elements on the upper face of the sliding element. In this case, there is no longer any need to take care of the straight passage of the upper profile. Lining measures known in the art can in most cases also not be used. Due to this, installation becomes easier and more economical.

Sliding elements in most cases are sliding glass elements with the so-called cold glazing. This means that the corresponding parts of the frame hold only plain glass, which can be made as a protective glass. This sliding glazing is suitable, in particular, for installation on the railing of the balcony or on the parapets. Naturally, installation on the base is also possible. In any case, due to this, regardless of the time of year, the use of the corresponding balcony can be extended.

At the same time, the insulation of the whole house is increased. Naturally, it is possible to use the described devices with sliding elements also for fencing, respectively overlapping terraces, swimming pools, etc. You can also use them indoors. In this case, the sliding elements in most cases are made of wooden (plywood) plates.

The following is a detailed description of the invention by way of example with reference to the drawings, which depict:

figure 1 is a schematic view of a device with sliding elements according to the invention;

figure 2 - the device of figure 1 in isometric projection;

figure 3 - the upper profile for the placement of the sliding elements;

4 is a corresponding lower profile;

5 is a special profile mounted on the upper profile to accommodate a folding net from flies and

6 is an embodiment according to figure 5 for placing the awning.

The figures show a device with sliding elements, which, as part of an exemplary embodiment, is a device for glazing a balcony. It can be installed between the two balconies shown in figure 1. The basic design includes sliding elements 2, which are glass sliding elements. These slide elements 2 move essentially in the slip plane G shown in FIGS. 3 and 4, in particular. Moreover, the addition of “essentially” means that using the device shown with sliding elements, it is also possible to perform branches, branches, small curves, etc., as described in detail, for example, in EP 0902153 A2.

The sliding elements 2 have on their lower edge 3 attached rolling bodies 5, which are included in the corresponding lower profile 6. The upper face 4 of the sliding elements 2 is also included in the profile, namely the upper profile 7. However, this profile 7 is not necessary, because the upper face 4 of the slide element 2 is made according to the invention without rolling elements and has at least one fixed lateral guide 8. This lateral guide 8 is, within the framework of an exemplary embodiment, a guide rail that n in the form of a flexible brush strip 8 (see figure 2).

In principle, this brush strip 8 can be fixed to any ceiling structure if it is ensured that the upper face 4 of the sliding element 2 flawlessly guides it in the lateral direction. In the shown example, two guide rails 8, respectively, two brush strips 8 are installed, between which there is a sliding element 2 included in the formed gap S, respectively, its upper face 4. The upper face 4 enters this gap S by a predetermined value M, taking into account the possible deflection of the element slip. It is clear that the value M takes into account the maximum possible lateral deflections of the sliding element 2.

Guide rails, respectively, brush strips 8, are inserted into the grooves 9 of the upper profile 7, which, as mentioned above, is not necessary. In contrast, said rolling bodies 5 are provided on the lower face 3 of the sliding member 2. They are perpendicularly located rollers 5 with a concave working surface 10. This ensures that the rollers, respectively of the rolling bodies 5, pass flawlessly along the mushroom-shaped working surface 11. Moreover, the curvature of the mushroom head is consistent with the concavity of the working surface 10.

On the lower side of the working surface 11 there are shoulders 12. Each two shoulders 12, protruding on both sides of the adjacent racks 13, form a T-shaped head of the running rail 11, 12, 13. Both shoulders 12 are covered on both sides like a clamp by two hooks 14 provided on the lower face 3 of the sliding element 2. Thus, even with the deflection of the sliding element 2, the roll 5 is prevented from moving away from the corresponding working surface 11, respectively, of the running rail 11, 12, 13. The hook 14 is an integral part of the profile plate 16 attached to the lower part 15 of the frame.

This profile plate 16 is made in the form of a zinc part, molded under pressure, and is inserted into the corresponding part 15 of the frame 7. The upper part of the frame is absent, since the sliding element 2, respectively glass, is freely held between two guide rails 8 in this place.

Especially important is the fact that the lower profile 6 and the upper profile 7, respectively, profile rails 6, 7, are made with the possibility of changing in width and have a modular design.

This is shown, in particular, in FIGS. 3 and 4. It can be seen that both profiles 6, 7 are in fact composed of edge elements 17a, 17b and middle elements 18a, 18b. In this case, practically any number of middle elements 18, 18b can be placed between the corresponding edge elements 17a, 17b. As a result, you can also vary the number of running rails 11, 12, 13, as well as guide rails 8. Therefore, in practice, you can place almost any number of sliding elements 2 between the respective profiles 6, 7.

To ensure the connection of the edge elements 17A, 17b with the middle elements 18a, 18b, connections 19, 20 are provided in the tongue and groove. These joints 19, 20 in the tongue and groove have similar to the hinge heads and profiles extending in the longitudinal direction of the profile rails 19. In contrast, the tongue 20 is a nest-shaped profile extending in the longitudinal direction of the profile rail.

Accordingly, for connecting the corresponding profile elements 17a, 17b and 18a, 18b to each other, they must be pushed into each other from the end. At the same time, the hinge gap, available and shown in FIGS. 3 and 4, provides for easy insertion of the profile elements 17a, 17b and 18a, 18b into each other. This is facilitated in this case by the fact that the profile elements 17a, 17b and 18a, 18b are provided with coatings that facilitate sliding.

To fix the individual profile elements 17a, 17b and 18a, 18b relative to each other, fastening means 21 are provided, which at least in one place pass through the corresponding connection 19, 20 into the tongue and groove. The fastening means 21 is a fastening finger 21, which is embedded in the wall 22. Figure 3 shows that along the length of the profiles 6, 7, respectively, of the profile rails 6, 7, several fastening fingers 21 are used which are offset relative to each other. Naturally, the profiles 6, 7 can also be fixed on the frame structure, and not on the wall 22.

Finally, FIGS. 5 and 6 show that profiles 6, 7 are configured to accommodate additional devices, such as, for example, the awnings 24 and the folding net 23 from the flies. For this purpose, the corresponding edge element 17a, 17b of the profile 6, 7 is replaced by a special profile. The special profile shown in FIG. 5 serves to accommodate a schematically shown net of flies, respectively a folding net 23 of flies. In the embodiment of FIG. 6, additional placement of the awning 24 is possible.

Profiles 6, 7 are aluminum extruded profiles. In contrast, in most cases a plastic hollow profile is used as part 15 of the frame. The individual sliding elements 2 can usually be freely moved forward and backward within the profiles 6, 7. It is also possible to block the movement if desired. For this, on each sliding element 2, according to the invention, a lever mechanism is implemented, the upper and lower trunnions of which enter without blocking into the corresponding profile 6, 7 only when the button, lever, etc. are pressed.

For the necessary access of air to the enclosed space with the sliding elements, the existing gaps are used in the lower profile 6, respectively, in the upper profile 7. Gaps are also usually provided between the individual sliding elements 2. Naturally, these gaps can optionally be closed with sealing tongues if a windproof ceiling is required.
