Definitions

• a window having one or more panes and an associated attachment frame
• the present invention relates to windows having one or more panes and an associated frame for attaching the window in a wall.
• a window with associated attachment frame in accordance with the invention is so designed that the hinge between the window and the frame comprises hinge parts that are firmly adhered to the upper and lower edge portions of the glass pane, and also hinge parts that are attached to corresponding parts of the upper and lower horizontal parts of the frame.
• Figure 1 shows a window, attachment frame and hinge in accordance with the invention
• Figure 2 shows an enlargement of one corner of the window/ attachment frame in Figure 1
• Figure 3 shows the hinge part to be adhered to the pane
• Figure 4 shows the hinge part to be secured to the attachment frame
• Figure 5 shows a bolt to hold the associated hinge parts movably together
• Figure 6 shows a modified hinge part for securing to the attachment frame
• Figure 7 shows a modified hinge part for adhesion to the pane.
• hinges which, instead of being placed on the side of a window as is usual, are placed in the lower and upper edge of the window.
• the geometry of the hinges is such that contact between existing washers between glass and frame will be “self-closing”.
• a large Teflon washer is used in order to reduce friction between the hinge parts.
• the pane is surrounded by a wooden frame of optional sort to protect it from chipping and to prevent shearing between the panes in multi-glazing windows. This construction also eliminates thermal bridges.
• Figure 1 shows a window 10 and attachment frame 11.
• the hinge 13 between the window 10 and frame 11 comprises hinge parts 131, 132 that are firmly adhered to the upper 101 and lower 102 horizontal edge portions of the glass pane, and also hinge parts 135, 136 that are attached to corresponding parts of the upper 111 and lower 112 horizontal parts of the frame 11.
• the hinge parts are suitably made of aluminium.
• the above is a description of the right-hand part 10 of a composite window which has an equivalent left-hand part 10' with hinge parts 133, 134 adhered to the upper 103 and lower 104 horizontal edge portions of the pane, and hinge parts 137,138 attached to corresponding parts of the upper 111 and lower 112 edge portions of the frame 11.
• the hinge parts 131-134 are adhered to the pane, preferably using an MS polymer adhesive of S55 type.
• the adhesive is adjusted to give a suitable coefficient of expansion and a Shore number of around D 40-50.
• the pressure required during adhesion is suitably about 20 gram/ cm 2 .
• Figure 2 shows an enlargement of the right-hand corner of the window in Figure 1 with the frame 11, the hinge part 136 attached in the lower edge 112 of the frame 11, the hinge part 132 adhered to the lower edge 102 of the pane, and a cantlist 20 to protect the edge of the glass.
• Figure 3 shows the hinge part 132 for adhesion to the lower edge portion 102 of the pane 10.
• the part 132 has a through-hole 30 for a hinge bolt 50, see Figure 5.
• Figure 4 shows the hinge part 136 for attachment to the lower edge portion 112 of the frame 10.
• the part 136 has a through-hole 40 for the bolt 50 and two through-holes 41 and 42 for two attachment screws.
• a Teflon washer (not shown) with a hole corresponding to the holes 30, 40 shall be located between the hinge parts 132, 136.
• Figure 5 shows the bolt 50 for the holes 30 and 40 in the hinge parts 132 and 136.
• the hinge part shown in Figure 6 differs from that in Figure 4 primarily in that it has an upwardly protruding pin 61 designed to fit into a partially open notch 71 in the corresponding (cooperating) hinge part according to Figure 7.
• the object is to prevent the glass pane from being lifted out should anyone manage to remove the bolts holding the hinge parts together, two and two (protection against break-in).
• a hole 70 for a retaining bolt is oval, thus enabling subsequent adjustment of cooperating hinge parts in relation to each other with the aid of an adjusting screw through a transverse hole 72 at right angles to the bolt hole 70;
• a hole 79 for a window stay when the window is to be left open is a hole 79 for a window stay when the window is to be left open.
