Description

A first disc mounted in an outer frame, the disc being pivotable about a vertical pivot axis located at one vertical side edge of the disc relative to the outer frame between a closed position, in which the disc extends along the first path, and an open position , in which the disc is pivoted away from the first web, a first side stop against which the lower side edge of the first disc abuts near the longitudinal position, odanding, which is horizontally displaceable along a second web and has a disc mounted in an outer frame around a second disc. one vertical edge edge also acts as a pivot axis pivotable about the outer frame between a closed position, in which the disc extends along the second path, and an open position, in which the disc is pivoted from the second path, which sliding door device is characterized as at a vertically lower level than the bottom of the second disc t, so that the second disc can be pivoted past the upper edge of the first side stop when the first disc is in its open position.

Since the second disc can be pivoted past the first side stop, such a sliding door device allows smooth and simple opening, i.e. moving the respective discs of the device to the open position, especially when the device has only two sliding doors or when the device has fl more than two sliding doors and one or more of the doors are blocked for some reason and cannot be moved sideways. When the first disc is closed, the side edge of the disc abuts against the first side stop. The side stop thus defines a pivot stop for the disc, which allows smooth closing of the disc from the open position. The side stop also provides support in the horizontal direction to the board when it is closed and enables a satisfactory seal that prevents water from penetrating between the outer frame and the board. A sealing device, such as a sealing strip, can be arranged between the disc and the side stop. The side stop thus enables very effective sealing of the sliding hatch device in a simple manner. In a preferred embodiment, the first side stop is arranged on the lower horizontal frame part of the first sliding door outer frame, which allows a robust solution which is relatively easy to mount.

The first side stop preferably forms an integral part of the outer frame of the first sliding door, which allows a robust solution with few parts.

Furthermore, the integrated side stop constitutes a fixed and simple pivot stop for the first disc.

The sliding hatch device preferably comprises a second side retainer against which the upper side edge of the first disc abuts when the disc is in its closed position, the lower edge of the second side retainer being located at the same level as or at a vertically higher level than the upper edge of the second disc, so that the second the disc can be pivoted past the lower edge of the second side housing when the first disc is in its open position, which makes it possible to further improve the robustness and / or tightness of the device.

The paths of the sliding shutters are preferably parallel to and located next to each other.

The outer frames of the sliding doors are preferably C-shaped.

In one embodiment, at least one of the first and second sliding shutters is a shutter.

In one embodiment, the sliding hatch device has exactly two sliding hatches, which is particularly advantageous in applications where the space in the longitudinal direction of the tracks is limited, ie when there is no room for or want to avoid having three or more hatches in the device.

In one embodiment, the first door is an inner door and the second door is an outer door, the outer door in the open position being swung in towards the inside of the sliding door device, which facilitates cleaning of the outside of the discs considerably.

In one embodiment, the sliding hatch device is intended for use in glazing a balcony side. In this embodiment, preferably the first door is an inner shutter and the second door an outer shutter, the outer shutter in the open position being swung towards the inside of the sliding window device to be swung in on the balcony, which facilitates cleaning of the in the shutters mounted the outside of the window panes considerably.

Another object of the invention is to provide a balcony glazing which allows smooth opening of the window glazing of the balcony glazing.

DESCRIPTION OF PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS Fig. 1 shows a sliding door device, in the form of a sliding window device, according to an embodiment of the present invention. The sliding window device is 10 15 20 25 30 5 arranged at one end side of a balcony and is included in a balcony glazing, which extends along the three "free" sides of the balcony. A similar sliding window device is thus set up at each of the other two sides.

The sliding window device according to the invention has an upper and a lower, horizontal guide rail 1 and 2, respectively, which extend between two vertical posts 3 and 4. The guide rails 1 and 2 support between them a plurality - in the example shown here two - arranged next to each other, vertical shutters 5 and 6, which are horizontally displaceable.

Each shutter 5 and 6 consists of a rectangular window pane 8 and 9, respectively, preferably of glass, a rectangular inner frame 11 and 12, respectively, in which the window pane is inserted, and a rectangular outer frame 14 and 15, respectively, in which the inner frame is around a vertical side edge of the shutter. (the right one in Fig. 1) placed, vertical pivot shaft pivotally mounted. The pivot axes of the inner frames 11 and 12 are defined in this embodiment by an upper (not shown) and a lower pivot pin 17b and 18b, respectively (see Fig. 4). Each inner frame 11 and 12 is pivotable between a closed position (illustrated in Fig. 3), in which it extends along the guide rails 1 and 2, and an open position (illustrated in Fig. 4), in which it is pivoted on the balcony and in which plastering the outside of the window panes is considerably facilitated.

The outer frames 14 and 15 and thus the shutters 5 and 6 as a whole are displaceable back and forth along each rectilinear path.

The displacement paths of the outer frames 14 and 15 extend parallel to and adjacent to each other along the entire length of the horizontal guide rails 1 and 2.

The displacement paths are defined by upper guide strips 20a and 21a, which are formed on the underside of the upper guide rail 1 (see Fig. 5), and by lower guide strips 20b and 21b, which are formed on the upper side of the lower guide rail 2 opposite the corresponding upper guide strip. The outer frames 14 and 15 are supported on their lower guide strips 20b and 21b, respectively, in a known manner by means of rollers 23 and are guided in a known manner by means of their upper guide strips 20a and 21a, respectively. The lower guide strips 20b and 21b, respectively, are located on one and the same vertical level Lg, as illustrated in Fig. 5. Each shutter 5 and 6 is displaceable between a first end position, in which it is located in the vicinity of the inwardly left vertical post 3, and a second end position, called opening end position, in which it is in the vicinity of the inwardly right vertical post 4. Each door is hereby displaceable in a first direction P1 from the first end position to the opening end position and in the this direction opposite the direction P2 (see Fig. 1). When the shutters 5 and 6 are in the offset positions shown in Fig. 1, they cover one end side of the balcony over its entire width.

Each shutter 5 and 6 is so constructed that the vertical frame side of the inner frame and the outer frame at said second second side edge (i.e. the vertical side edge opposite the vertical side edge where the pivots are located) are one and the same, and thus common, frame part 26 and 27, respectively. Each such common frame part 26 and 27 is releasably connected to the upper horizontal frame part 14a and 15a of the outer frame 14 and 15, respectively, and the lower horizontal frame part 14b and 15b, respectively, by means of a locking device of suitable type, such as a espagnolette type locking device. Each such common frame part 26 and 27 is furthermore fixedly connected to the two horizontal frame parts of the inner frame 11 and 12, respectively, so that, after being released from the outer frame 14 and 15, respectively, two horizontal frame parts by the locking device are brought into the inner frame pivoting relative to the outer frame.

The inner outer frame 15 has a lower and an upper side stop 31 and 33, respectively, against which the inner frame 12 of the inner window pane 9 abuts when the door 6 is closed, which is illustrated in Fig. 5. In the closed position the lower and upper side edge of the inner window pane 9 thus abuts the lower and upper side stops 31 and 33, respectively, of the inner outer frame 15 indirectly via the inner frame 12. The lower side stop 31 forms an integral part 32 of the outer frame 15. The upper side stop 33 also forms an integral part of the outer frame 15 of the first door 6.

The outer outer frame 14 has a lower and an upper side stop 35 and 37, respectively, against which the inner frame 11 of the outer window pane 8 abuts when the outer shutter 5 is closed. Each side stop 31, 33, 35, 37 extends over the entire width of the disc and has a sealing strip, in the form of a rubber strip 39, 41, 43 and 45, respectively, which seals against, for example, water in the closed position. Furthermore, each side stop constitutes a pivot stop which stops the disc when pivoting from the open position.

The lower edge 47 of the outer inner frame 11 is located at a vertical level L2. The upper edge 49 of the inner lower side stop 32 is located at a vertical level L1 which is vertically lower than L2 (see Fig. 5), which allows pivoting of the outer window pane 8 past the lower side stop 32 of the first door. Correspondingly, the inner door 6 is the lower edge of the upper side stop 33 is located at a vertically higher level than the upper edge of the outer inner frame 11, which allows pivoting of the outer window pane 8 past the upper side stop 33 of the inner door 6. Thus pivoting of the outer window pane 8 past the two side stops 31 of the inner door 6 , 33.

With the aid of the sliding window device according to the invention described above, it is possible in a simple manner to open up the glazed gable side of the balcony over its entire width, ie to achieve the condition shown in Fig. 4. This is done as follows: Starting from the displacement position of the shutters 5 and 6 shown in Fig. 1, the inner frame 12 of the window shutter closest to the inside of the balcony is pivoted from the closed position shown in Fig. 6a to the open position, as illustrated by arrow A in Fig. 6b .

Thereafter, the window door 5 closest to the outside of the balcony is displaced to the opening end position, as illustrated by the arrow B in Fig. 6c, where its inner frame 11 swings past the side stops 31 and 33, respectively, of the inner door 6 to the open position, illustrated by the arrow C in Fig. 6d. Thus, the condition shown in Fig. 4 has been achieved, in which the front side of the balcony is open over its entire width.

As can be seen from Fig. 4, the inner frames of the shutters in the open position are angled approximately 90 ° in relation to the guide rails 1 and 2.

Fig. 7 shows an alternative embodiment where the side stops are not arranged on the outer frames. In this embodiment, the side stops are instead arranged on the guide strips, which is illustrated in Fig. 7 for the lower side stops 101 20 25 30 8 131 and 135, respectively, and thus do not follow the sliding doors 6 and 5, respectively, when they are displaced horizontally.

Referring to Fig. 8, an alternative embodiment of the present invention will now be described. Fig. 8 shows a balcony glazing comprising three sliding door devices according to the invention. A first sliding door device is arranged at the front side of the balcony and is included together with a second and a third sliding door device according to the invention in the balcony glazing which extends along the three "free" sides of the balcony.

Each sliding window device has an upper and a lower, horizontal guide rail, which extends between two vertical posts. The guide rails support between them a plurality of side-by-side, vertical sliding hatches, which are horizontally displaceable.

The first sliding window device has three sliding hatches in the form of an inner sliding hatch 205, an outer sliding hatch 207 and a sliding hatch 206 located between the inner 205 and outer 207. Each sliding hatch 205, 206 and 207 consists of a rectangular glass plate, a rectangular inner frame 21, 21 respectively 213, in which the glass sheet is inserted, and a rectangular outer frame, in which the inner frame is pivotally mounted around a vertical pivot axis located at one vertical side edge of the shutter (the left in Fig. 8). Each inner frame 211, 212 and 213 is pivotable between a closed position, in which it extends along the guide rails and, and an open position, in which it is swung out from the terrace.

Each inner frame 211, 212 and 213 is releasably connected to a respective outer frame, as has been described previously.

Each sliding door 205, 206 and 207 has a lower and an upper side stop.

The outer frame of the intermediate sliding door 206 is constructed so that the inner frame 212 can be pivoted past both side stops of the outer door 207 and the outer frame of the inner sliding door 205 is so constructed that the inner frame 211 can be pivoted past both side stops of the intermediate door 206, as previously described with reference to 5 and 6a-d. Thus, for example, the upper side edge of the outer sliding door 207 is located at the same level as or at a vertically lower level than the lower edge of the intermediate disc. 10 15 20 25 30 9 Each of the second and third sliding window devices, ie the devices arranged at both end sides of the balcony, has two sliding doors.

Fig. 9 shows a sliding door device arranged at a wardrobe, in the form of a sliding door device, according to an alternative embodiment of the present invention. The sliding door device has an upper and a lower 302, horizontal guide rail. The guide rails support between them two side-by-side, vertical sliding doors 305 and 306, respectively, which are horizontally displaceable.

Each sliding door 305 and 306 consists of a rectangular door panel, a rectangular inner frame 311 and 312, respectively, in which the door panel is inserted, and a rectangular outer frame, in which the inner frame is around a vertical pivot axis located at one of the window shutters (right in Fig. 9). pivotally mounted. Each inner frame 311 and 312 is pivotable between a closed position, in which it extends along the guide rails and, and an open position, in which it is swung out from the wardrobe space. Each inner frame 311, 312 is releasably connected to a respective outer frame, as has been described previously.

Each sliding door has a lower and an upper side stop. The outer frame of the second sliding door 305 is constructed so that the inner frame 311 can be pivoted past both side stops of the first sliding door 306, as has been described previously with reference to Figs. 5 and 6a-d. Thus, the lower side edge of the first slide cover 306 is located at a vertically lower level than the lower edge of the second disc.

The sliding door device can be modified in various ways within the scope of the invention, as this is defined in the following claims. In particular, the sliding door disc can be mounted in any way in the outer frame, ie not necessarily by means of an inner frame, even if this is preferred.

As mentioned above, the inner frames 11 and 12 are pivotally arranged in their outer frame 14 and 15, respectively. As shown in Figs. 3 and 4, the inner frame from its closed position shown in Fig. 3 can only be pivoted inwards, ie towards the balcony, to the open position but however, do not swing outward. Because the inner frames 11 and 12 can be swung towards the balcony, the window cleaning is considerably facilitated. It will be appreciated, however, that the device may be modified so that the inner frames may instead be pivoted only outwardly, as illustrated in Fig. 8.
