Definitions

  • the invention pertains, generally, to door frames and window frames; more particularly, door frames and window frames that can be installed in walls of varying thicknesses.
  • Door frames and window frames (used interchangeably herein) generally come in custom built and prefabricated types.
  • Prefabricated door frame assemblies offer several advantages over custom built frames because they can be mass produced for cost savings, can be made from a variety of materials and finishes, and consist of a minimum number of components, thus making them relatively easy to install. Nevertheless, they have certain disadvantages because they are not manufactured for walls of unusual thicknesses and installers must order a wide variety of frames to fit the exact dimensions of the many sized wall openings into which they designed be installed.
  • Adjustable pre-fabricated door frame assemblies have been developed to address these shortcomings.
  • T e adjustable frames allow installers to use the same basic frame on door openings of varying and unusual widths.
  • These adjustable prefabricated door frames often achieve variability of width through two frame halves that are attached to one another using fasteners, sleeves, clips, or some other attachment mechanism. Consequently, the addition of these fastening mechanisms increases fabrication costs because of the need for additional components and the welding often required to attach the components to the frame.
  • these frame types consist of numerous connected components, their finish can appear unsightly compared to a single piece frame and their can be undesirable play between the frame halves.
  • these designs do not utilize a hairpin-shaped clamp that grips a shaft, in order to firmly clamp the frame halves.
  • the present invention has a much deeper recess into which the rear half may be slid than can be found in any of the prior art.
  • the hairpin-shaped curve is angled beyond one hundred and eighty degrees and assures a positive pinch point with the rear frame half that assures a firm connection between the frame halves.
  • the invention is directed to overcoming the above shortcomings of the prior art by attaching the frame halves to one another through an adjustable hairpin-shaped clamp, which provides a secure connection both during and after assembly.
  • the invention can be installed in wood-stud walls, metal-stud walls, masonry walls, and other wall types. Inexpensive fabrication is achieved because sheet metal parts may be fabricated on a roll former rather than on a press brake.
  • the adjustable hairpin-shaped clamp is integral to the frame halves, no additional part or welding is required during fabrication or installation. Play between the frame halves is minimized because the clamp provides a strong and secure connection between the frame halves.
  • the hairpin-shaped clamp being curved beyond one hundred, and eighty degrees, assures a pinch point with the rear frarrie half.
  • the flange tip at the end of the hairpin-shaped clamp facilitates easier installation by guiding the rear frame half into the clamp and mitigating the effect of dents in the frame, which commonly occur in transit.
  • the front frame half is divided into two surfaces, separated by a ninety degree bend.
  • One surface is flat and serves as a side wall that lays adjacent to the wall board.
  • the other surface is shaped to include an integrated door stop, shaped as an outward channel, and clamp beneath the channel in the shape of a hairpin.
  • the rear frame half is more simply L-shaped with a ninety degree bend.
  • One leg of the "L" serves as a shaft that is inserted into the clamp of the front half at the time of installation while the other leg serves as a side wall that lays adjacent to the wall board.
  • Figure 1 is a perspective view of one embodiment of the invention in assembled form.
  • Figure 2 is an illustration in cross sectional view of one embodiment of the invention as installed in a wood stud frame wall opening.
  • Figure 3 is an illustration in cross sectional view of the prior art adjustable door frame mechanisms utilizing a welded clip to connect the frame halves.
  • Figure 4 is an illustration in cross sectional view of the prior art adjustable door frames utilizing a spring clip to connect the frame halves.
  • Figure 5 is a perspective detail of the guide pins and sleeves utilized by a prior art adjustable door frame to connect frame halves.
  • Figure 6 is an illustration in cross sectional view of a prior art adjustable door frame that utilizes a slot and strip to attach the two frame halves.
  • Figure 7 is a perspective detail of the frame halves according to one embodiment of the invention.
  • Fig. 1 is a perspective view of one embodiment of the invention in assembled form. As shown in Fig.
  • the disclosed embodiment of the door frame assembly 10 includes a header frame 14, a strike frame 18, and a hinge frame 22.
  • a continuous hairpin-shaped clamp 26 is included along each frame portion that serves to attach the two frame halves 54 and 64 to one another.
  • An alternate configuration of the invention includes an additional curve 59 for the installation of weather-stripping on the frame.
  • FIG. 2 is an illustration in cross sectional view of one embodiment of the invention as installed in a wood stud frame wall opening.
  • Fig. 2 shows a cross sectional view of the door frame assembly 10 in the wall 34 constructed with wood stud 44 and wall paneling 52 on either side.
  • the frame assembly 10 is comprised of two halves 54 and 64. Each frame half 54 and 58 has a side wall 58 that lays adjacent to the wall paneling 52.
  • the front half 54 includes a door stop 56 and a hairpin-shaped clamp 60, into which the shaft 64 of the rear door frame is inserted.
  • the clamp 60 has a flange 62 at the end which directs the shaft 64 of the door frame on insertion into the clamp 60.
  • Flange 62 is opposite a curved corner 63 at the extreme other end of the hairpin-shaped clamp 60 which coordinates with the flange 62.
  • the flange 62 lays adjacent to underside of the door stop, because, on insertion, the clamp 60 is expanded from its natural position, it compresses onto the shaft 64 and provides torsional and shear support to the door frame assembly 10.
  • the flange 62 and the curved corner 63 assist the user to guide the male portion of the shaft 64 into the female portion of the clamp 60 quickly and effectively.
  • the strength of the connection provided by the clamp 60 and the shaft 64 allows enough structural rigidity to the door frame assembly 10 that it does not need to lie alongside the wall 34, but is allowed a gap 66 between the door frame assembly 10 and the wall 34.
  • FIG. 3 is an illustration in cross sectional view of the prior art adjustable door frame mechanisms utilizing a welded clip to connect the frame halves.
  • Fig. 3 shows a cross sectional view of adjustable door frame assembly 68 within a wood stud wall 72.
  • Frame width variability is achieved through two frame halves 76 and 80.
  • Spot welded 84 to one half is a tongue 88 that, on installation, is slid inside a clip 92 that is spot welded 96 to the second frame half 80. The friction between the tongue 88 and clip 92 attaches the two frame halves to one another.
  • Figure 4 is an illustration in cross sectional view of the prior art adjustable door frames utilizing a spring clip to connect the frame halves.
  • the door frame assembly 96 that utilizes a retaining clip 100 in order to attach the front 104 and rear 108 frame halves within the wood stud wall 112.

Abstract

L'invention concerne un ensemble réglable formant huisserie de porte ou encadrement de fenêtre, dont les cadres et le linteau peuvent être installés solidement et précisément dans des parois d'épaisseurs variables. La variabilité d'épaisseur du cadre est obtenue du fait que le cadre est constitué de deux moitiés reliés entre elle par une seule attache continue et une tige pouvant entrer et sortir par coulissement dans le sens longitudinal. La pression entre la fixation et la tige donne une rigidité en torsion et une résistance au cisaillement au cadre sans que des attaches supplémentaires et d'autres pièces fixées aux composants du cadre soient nécessaires. L'ensemble huisserie peut être utilisé conjointement avec des portes montées et convient également à l'utilisation avec des fenêtres, du grillage et d'autres articles de ce type.
