The inner and outer frames share a common vertical frame section along the other vertical side of the leaf and this is releasably attached to the two horizontal sections of the outer frame and permanently attached to the two horizontal sections of the inner frame. The leaves can be slid into an end position where the inner frames can be swung open so that the window is open over the entire width of the balcony.

Description

Background Art A balcony glazing with a sliding window device and shutters of the above types is known from WO 03/064800. This known balcony glazing will now be described in more detail with reference to Figs. 1-4, Fig. 1 showing the known balcony glazing from the outside of the balcony, Fig. 2 is a sectional view along the line II-II in Fig. the front of the king completely closing position, Fig. 3 is a sectional view corresponding to Fig. 2 but showing the glass shutters offset to a first end position to the left (seen from the inside of the balcony), and Fig. 4 is a sectional view corresponding to Fig. a second end position on the right (seen from the inside of the balcony).

The glazing shown in Fig. 1 is arranged at the front side of a balcony. The balcony glazing is arranged on a support frame 1, which is mounted between a lower balcony plate and an upper balcony plate arranged directly above this. The support frame 1 has an upper, horizontal frame part 2, a lower, horizontal frame part 3 and two vertical frame parts 4 and 5. 7 and 8, which are laterally displaceable. The vertical frame parts 4 and 5 extend downwards past the lower horizontal frame part 3 and rest on the lower balcony plate. Cover sheets 9, which form part of a balcony railing, are supported between the vertical The horizontal frame parts 2 and 3 form the frame parts 4 and 5 below the lower, horizontal frame part 3.

Each glass door 6, 7 and 8 consists of a rectangular glass plate 10, 11 and 12, respectively, a rectangular inner frame 13, 14 and 15, respectively, in which the glass plate is inserted, and a rectangular outer frame 16, 17 and 18, respectively, in which the inner frame is around a vertical pivot shaft 19, 20 and 21, respectively, located at one vertical side edge of the glass door. 10 15 20 25 30 35 529 745 3 The outer frames 16-18 and thus the glass doors 6-8 as a whole are displaceable back and forth along each rectilinear path. The displacement paths of the outer frames 16-18 extend parallel to and next to each other along the entire length of the horizontal frame parts 2 and 3 and are formed in the underside of the upper frame part 2 and the upper side of the lower frame part 3. The outer frames 16-18 are mounted and guided in the horizontal frame parts 2 and 3.

Each glass door 6, 7 and 8 is slidable between a first end position, in which it is located in the vicinity of the internally left, vertical frame part 5 and which is shown for the three glass doors in Fig. 3, and a corresponding one, in Fig. 4 shown, second end position at the internally right, vertical frame part 4. Each glass door 6, 7 and 8 is hereby displaceable in a first direction P1 in the direction from the first end position to the second position and in the said first direction opposite direction P2.

When the glass shutters 6-8 are in the position shown in Figs. 1 and 2, they cover the front side of the balcony over its entire width. When the glass shutters 6-8 are in the end position shown in Fig. 3 and in Fig. 4, the front side of the balcony is maximally opened.

Each of the two glass shutters 6 and 7 has at the vertical side edge where its pivot axis 19 and 20, respectively, is located an engaging member 22a and 23a, respectively, formed on the outside of the outer frame 16 and 17, and each of the two glass shutters 7 and 8 has at its second vertical side edge an engaging member 22b and 23b, respectively, formed on the inside of the outer frame 17 and 18, respectively. As will be seen from Figs. 2-4, the engaging means 22a and 22b on the one hand and engaging means 23a and 23b on the other hand are arranged to cooperate with each other so that the glass door 7 and the glass door 8, respectively, when the engaging means 22a and 22b and 23a and 23b engage with each other, bringing the glass door 6 and the glass door 7, respectively, upon displacement in the direction of the arrow P2, ie in the direction of the first end position. Correspondingly, of course, the glass door 6 and the glass door 7 in this engaging position carry the glass door 7 and the glass door 8, respectively, when displaced in the direction of the arrow P1, ie in the direction of the other end position. As will also be seen from Figures 2-4, the glass doors 6-8 are displaceable relative to each other in the opposite directions regardless of whether the engaging means engage with each other or not.

As mentioned above, the inner frames 13, 14 and 15 are pivotally arranged in their outer frame 16, 17 and 18, respectively. As can be seen from Figs. the balcony, to the open position but not turned outwards.

In the first end position shown in Fig. 3 for the glass doors 6, 7, 8, only the inner frame 13 can be swung into the open position, while the inner frame 14 can be swung into the open position only when the glass door 7 has been moved so far to the right (arrow P1) from the position shown in Fig. 3, that it has passed the glass door 6. Correspondingly, the inner frame 15 can be swung into the open position only when the glass door 8 has been moved so far to the right (arrow P1) from the position shown in Fig. 3 that it has passed both the glass door 7 and the glass door 6.

In the second end position of the glass doors 6, 7, 8 shown in Fig. 4, the inner frame 13 can be swung into the open position only when the glass door 6 has been moved a short distance towards (arrow P2) the frame 14 can be swung into the open position only when the glass door 6 has been displaced so far to the left (arrow P2) from the position shown in Fig. 4 that it has passed the glass door 7 (it should be noted that the glass door 7 due to the engaging means 22a and 22b coming into engagement with each other can not be displaced so far to the left, that it passes the glass door 6). The inner frame 15 can correspondingly be pivoted into the open position only when both the glass door 6 and the glass door 7 have been moved so far to the left (arrow P2) that they have passed the glass door 8.

In the full-coverage position shown in Fig. 2 for the glass doors 6-8, the inner frame 13 can be pivoted into the open position only when the glass door 6 has been moved a short distance to the left to be released from the frame part 4. The inner frame 529 745 left (arrow P2) the frame 14 can be swung into the open position only when the glass door 6 has been moved further to the left (arrow P2) and passed the glass door 7. The inner frame 15 can be swung into the open position only when both the glass door 6 and the glass door 7 has been displaced so far to the left that they have passed the glass door 8, which means that this must also have been displaced to the right (arrow P1). to be released from the frame part 4. Inner- Because the inner frames 13, 14 and 15 can be swung towards the balcony, the window cleaning is considerably facilitated.

As mentioned above, the front of the balcony is maximally opened, as the glass shutters 6-8 are in the first end position (Fig. 3) and in the second end position (Fig. 4). In the example described and shown, however, as much as just over a third of the front side of the balcony is still covered by the glass shutters 6, 7 and 8, as these are in the end positions according to Figs. 3 and 4.

Description of a Preferred Embodiment The sliding window device shown in Figs. 5-7 is arranged at the front side of a balcony and is included in a balcony glazing, which in the usual way 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 101 and 102, respectively, which extend between two vertical posts 103 and 104. The guide rails 101 and 102 support a plurality - in the example shown here three - arranged next to each other, vertical shutters 105, 106 and 107, which are laterally displaceable.

Each shutter 105, 106 and 107 consists of a rectangular window pane 108, 109 and 110, respectively, preferably of glass, a rectangular inner frame 111, 112 and 113, respectively, in which the window pane is inserted, and a rectangular outer frame 114, 115 and 116, respectively, in which inner frame is pivotally mounted about a vertical pivot axis located at one vertical side edge of the shutter (the right one in Figs. 5-7). The pivot axes of the inner frames 111, 112 and 113 are defined in this embodiment by an upper and a lower pivot pin 117a, b, 118a, b and 19a, respectively. B. Each inner frame 111, 112 and 113 is pivotable between a closed position, in which it extends along the guide rails 101 and 102, and an open position, in which it is swung in on the balcony and in which plastering of the outside of the window panes is considerably facilitated. 115, 116 and thus the shutters 105, 106, 107 as a whole are displaceable back and forth along each rectilinear path. The displacement paths of the outer frames 114, 115, 116 extend parallel to the outer frames 114, and adjacent to each other along the entire length of the horizontal guide rails 101 and 102. The displacement paths are defined by upper guide strips 120a, 12la and 122a, which are formed on the underside of the upper guide rail 101 (see Fig. 8), and by lower guide strips 120b, 12b and 122b, which are formed on the underside of the upper guide rail 101. the upper side of the lower guide rail 102 opposite the corresponding upper guide strip. The outer frames 114, 115 and 116 are supported on their lower guide strips 120b, 12b and 122b, respectively, in a known manner by means of rollers 123 and are guided in a known manner by means of their upper guide strips 120a, 121a and 122a, respectively.

Each shutter 105, 106 and 107 is slidable between a first end position, in which it is in the vicinity of the internally left vertical post 103, and a second end position, called the opening end position, in which it is in the vicinity of the internally right vertical post 104. In this case, each door is displaceable in a first direction P3 from the first end position to the opening end position and in the direction P4 opposite this direction. When the shutters 105, 106 and 107 are in the displacement positions shown in Fig. 5, they cover the front side of the balcony over its entire width. When they are in the above-mentioned end positions, in the same way as in the known balcony glazing described above, just over a third of the width of the front side is still covered by the shutters 105, 106 and 107.

Each of the two shutters 105 and 106, which are the two outermost, ie closest to the outside of the balcony doors, has at the vertical side edge where its pivot axis (pivots 117a, b and 118a, b) is located an engaging member formed on the inside of the outer frame 124 and 125, respectively. Each of the two shutters 106 and 107, which are the two innermost, i.e. the shutters located closest to the inside of the balcony, have at their second vertical side edge, i.e. at the vertical side edge which is opposite the vertical side edge where the pivots 118a, b and 119a, b, respectively, are located, an engaging member 124 'and 125', respectively, formed on the outside of the outer frame. As can be seen from Fig. 9, the engaging means 124 and 124 'on the one hand and the engaging means 125 and 125' on the other hand are arranged to cooperate with each other so that the shutter 106 and the shutter 107, respectively, when the engaging means 124 and 124 'and 10 respectively 529 745 10 125 and 125 'engage with each other, bringing the shutter 105 and the shutter 106, respectively, when displaced in the direction of the arrow P3, ie in the direction of the opening end position.

Correspondingly, of course, the shutter 105 and the shutter 106 in this engaging position of the engaging members 124 and 124 'and 125 and 125', respectively, carry the shutter 106 and the shutter 107, respectively, when displaced in the direction of the arrow P4, ie in the direction of the first end position. As also shown in Fig. 9, the shutters 105, 106 and 107 are displaceable relative to each other in the opposite directions regardless of whether the engaging means engage with each other or not.

Each shutter 105, 106 and 107 is so constructed that the vertical frame side of the inner frame and outer frame at said second second edge edge (i.e. the vertical side edge opposite the vertical side edge where the pivots are located) is formed by one and the same, and thus common, frame part 126, 127 and 128, respectively. Each such common frame part 126, 127 and 128 is releasably connected to the upper horizontal frame part 114a, 115a and 116a of the outer frame 114, 115 and 116, respectively, and the lower horizontal frame part 114b, 115b and 116b by means of a locking device 129 of a suitable type. As an example, Fig. 10 shows a locking device 129 of the espagnolette type. In addition, each such common frame part 126, 127 and 128 is fixedly connected to the two horizontal frame parts of the inner frame 111, 112 and 113, respectively, so that, after being actuated by the locking device 129, it is released from both outer frame 114, 115 and 116, respectively. horizontal frame parts, are carried in the oscillation of the inner frame relative to the outer frame.

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 front side of the balcony over its entire width, ie to achieve the condition shown in Fig. 7.

This is done as follows: Starting from the displacement position of the shutters 105, 106 and 107 shown in Fig. 5, the window shutter 105 located closest to the outside of the balcony is displaced to the right (in the direction of arrow P3) to the opening end position. , where its inner frame 111 is pivoted from the closed position shown in Fig. 5 to the open position, after the two inner shutters 106 and 107 have been displaced slightly to the left (in the direction of the arrow P4). The resulting displacement positions of the shutters 105, 106 and 107 are shown in Fig. 6. Thereafter, the intermediate shutter 106 is displaced to the opening end position, where its inner frame 112 is pivoted to the open position. Finally, the innermost shutter 107 is also displaced to the opening end position, where its inner frame 113 is pivoted to the open position. Thus, the condition shown in Fig. 7 has been achieved, in which the front side of the balcony is open over its entire width. As can be seen from Fig. 12, the inner frames of the shutters in the open position are angled approximately 90 ° relative to the guide rails 101 and 102.

The shutter, the sliding window device and the balcony glazing can be modified in various ways within the scope of the invention, as this is defined in the following claims. In particular, the shutter window pane can be mounted in any way in the outer frame, ie not necessarily by means of an inner frame, even if this is preferred. The essential thing for the invention is that the outer frame part of the outer frame at the side edge, which is opposite the side edge where the pivot axis is located, consists of a separate frame part, ie separated from the other frame parts of the outer frame, which is releasably connected to the other frame parts. fixedly connected to the window pane so that after release from the other frame parts of the outer frame it is carried along in the pivoting of the window pane relative to the outer frame.
