Definitions

• the present invention relates to a set of metal section bars for door and window frames with sliding panels.
• door and window frames made of metal with sliding panels are accomplished with a fixed frame formed by a pair of upper and lower horizontal section bars and by a pair of vertical side section bars, and with one or two mobile frames formed by similar pairs of horizontal and vertical section bars and by incorporated glass panes, that define respective sliding panels.
• section bars are made in one piece in a material such as, say, alluminiun alloy.
• each section bar is, on the other hand, accomplished in two distinct parts corresponding to the internal front and to the external front of the door and window frame.
• the two parts are connected together through insulating strips made, say, in polyamide.
• each vertical section bar is constituted by a main casing provided on one side with wall hooking means, on the other side by a pair of end fins and by a pair of connecting fins with a rectilinear shape, destined to sngage with an adjacent vertical section bar of the mobile frame of a sliding panel.
