Description

Title of the invention: FRAME FOR A DORMANT, THE UPRIGHTS OF WHICH ARE EQUIPPED WITH A TAPEE PROFILE Technical field of the invention

[0001] The invention relates to a frame intended to be installed against a wall pierced with an opening, the frame comprising at least one vertical upright having:

[0002] - a body of which a front facing face is intended to rest against a wall of the wall, and of which an interior side wall is directed towards the inside of the frame of the sleeper,

[0003] - a frame wing which projects inwardly from the frame from the inner side face of the body, a rear face of the frame wing delimiting a rear rebate intended to house an opening, and a front face of the frame wing delimiting a front rebate intended to be turned towards the wall. Technical background

[0004] The frame is the fixed part of the window on which a sash is mounted movable. The fixing of a surface-mounted window frame is done on the internal part of the wall which surrounds the opening. When the window is in the closed position, the frame is in contact with the internal wall of the wall which surrounds the opening. Surface-mounted fixing means that the frame is fixed directly on the internal wall of the wall, without being embedded in the wall.

[0005] Surface mounting can be done in a variety of ways, but the most common is the use of mounting brackets that screw onto the wall. These brackets are attached to the back of the frame and are usually made of metal. Once the brackets are attached to the wall, the frame is positioned over them and held in place with screws or clips.

[0006] [Fig. 3] shows an example of an upright 20' of a frame 12' of a frame made according to the state of the art and installed as a surface-mounted part. The upright 20' has in profile a body 24' which has a front facing face 26' and an interior lateral face 28' which is directed transversely towards the interior of the frame 12' of the frame. The profile forming the upright 20' also comprises a frame wing 30' which projects transversely towards the interior of the frame from the interior lateral face 28' of the body 24' to a free edge 36'. The frame wing 30' divides the interior lateral face 28' into a front portion 28A' and a rear portion 28B'.

[0007] A rear face 34' of the wing 30' of the frame delimits, with the rear portion 28B' of the inner lateral face 28' of the body 24', a rear rebate 38' intended to house the opening 16' in the closed position.

[0008] The front face 32' of the wing 30' of the frame delimits, with the front portion 28A' of the inner lateral face 28', a front rebate 40' intended to be turned towards the wall 15'. The rebate 40' is used to house a guide rail 41' for the slats of a roller shutter (not shown).

[0009] The frame 12' of the frame is here intended to be installed as an applique against a rear wall 42' of the wall 15' around the opening. The opening is delimited transversely by two vertical lateral walls 44'. More particularly, the facing face 26' of each upright 20' is pressed against the rear wall 42' of the wall 15'. The frame 12' of the frame is fixed to the wall 15' by any known means, for example by screwing metal tabs distributed around the perimeter of the frame 12' of the frame against the wall 15'.

[0010] After its installation, the 15' wall is then covered with a 45' cladding generally comprising insulation and a plasterboard.

[0011] To ensure that there is no water infiltration between the frame 12' and the bottom of the wall 15', the bottom of the opening has an outwardly sloping edge (not shown), called a rejingot, which projects relative to the internal wall 42' of the wall 15'. The lower crosspiece of the frame is arranged above this edge to allow water flows to be directed towards the outside of the wall 15'.

[0012] To ensure a good seal between the frame 12' of the frame and the wall 15', it is known to insert the sealing gasket 46' between the upright 20' and the rear wall 42' of the wall 15'. This gasket 46' must be arranged close to the opening. The sealing gasket 46 must be arranged in line with the edge to avoid any risk of water infiltration. Thus, the water flowing along the sealing gasket 46' is collected by the edge and evacuated to the outside.

[0013] As shown in [Fig. 3], in the state of the art, the positioning of the sealing joint 46' requires the facing face 26' to be positioned in the immediate vicinity of the opening, so that the front portion 28A' of the inner lateral face 28' is flush with the inner lateral wall 44' of the opening. As a result, the wing 30' of the frame projects transversely towards the inside of the opening. The projecting part of the wing 30' of the frame is commonly called a "pignonnet". This arrangement reduces the passage section available for light (called "glazing clear").

[0014] There is therefore a need to produce sleeper frames that are simple to produce but which allow the jack to be reduced at the level of the uprights. It is also necessary to provide the possibility of installing a guide rail without increasing the jack. Summary of the invention

[0015] The invention proposes a frame for a frame intended to be installed against a wall pierced with an opening, the frame for a frame comprising at least one vertical upright presenting:

[0016] - a body of which a front facing face is intended to rest against a wall of the wall, and of which an interior side wall is directed towards the inside of the frame of the sleeper,

[0017] - a frame wing which projects inwardly from the frame from the inner side face of the body, a rear face of the frame wing delimiting a rear rebate intended to house an opening, and a front face of the frame wing delimiting a front rebate intended to be turned towards the wall;

[0018] characterized in that the front rebate houses over its entire length a tapping profile of complementary shape which has a front face which extends substantially in the same plane as the facing face of the upright and a rear face which is clamped against the front face of the frame wing.

[0019] According to another characteristic of the invention, the tapped profile has an inner lateral face directed towards the inside of the frame which is flush with a free edge of the frame wing.

[0020] According to another characteristic of the invention, the inner lateral face of the tapped profile has a guide groove which extends over its entire length and which is intended to guide the slats of a roller shutter.

[0021] According to another characteristic of the invention, the inner lateral face of the tapping profile is solid.

[0022] According to another characteristic of the invention, the taped profile has a covering wing which extends transversely outwards in the extension of its front face, a rear face of the covering wing bearing against the facing face of the upright.

[0023] According to another characteristic of the invention, the front face of the taped profile is equipped with a sealing joint.

[0024] According to another characteristic of the invention, the taped profile is fixed to the upright by screwing.

[0025] According to another characteristic of the invention, the upright is a hollow profile made of PVC.

[0026] According to another characteristic of the invention, the tapping profile is made of aluminum.

[0027] The invention also relates to an arrangement of a frame, produced according to the teachings of the invention, applied against a wall pierced with an opening delimited transversely by two vertical side walls,

[0028] characterized in that the free end edge of the frame wing is arranged in the same plane as the side walls of the bay, the front face of the taped profile being supported against the wall, a sealing joint being inserted between the wall and the front face of the tapped profile.

[0031] [Fig.2] is an axial sectional view along section plane 2-2 which represents an upright of the frame equipped with a tapping profile produced and applied according to the teachings of the invention.

[0032] [Fig. 3] is a view similar to that of [Fig. 2] which represents a frame upright made and installed in surface according to the state of the art. Detailed description of the invention

[0033] In the remainder of the description, elements having similar functions or identical structures will be designated by the same reference.

[0034] In the remainder of the description, the longitudinal, vertical and transverse directions will be adopted without limitation with reference to the trihedron (L, V, T) shown in the figures.

[0035] The terms “front” and “rear” will also be used in reference to the longitudinal direction, as well as “upper” and “lower” or “top” and “bottom” in reference to the vertical direction and finally “left” and “right” in reference to the transverse direction.

[0036] The terms “interior” and “exterior” will be used to designate elements located respectively towards the interior of the frame 12 or towards the exterior of the frame 12.

[0037] [Fig.l] shows a joinery 10 such as a window or a French window. This is a window.

[0038] Such a joinery 10 comprises a frame 12 of a fixed part which is intended to be fixed in an opening 14 open in a wall 15 and an opening 16 which is intended to be mounted movably on the frame 12 of the fixed part to close the opening 14. This is a joinery 10 with a casement or leaf in which the opening 16 is pivotally mounted on an upright of the frame 12 of the fixed part by means of a hinge 18, for example a hinge with hinges, around a vertical axis “A”.

[0039] The invention is also applicable to a frame for a joinery comprising only a frame which carries a fixed panel.

[0040] The frame 12 of the sleeper which is produced by assembling profiles made of thermoplastic material, in particular profiles made of polyvinyl chloride (PVC).

[0041] As shown in Figures 1 and 2, the invention is applicable to such a frame 12 of a sleeper made by assembling profiles made of thermoplastic material, in particular polyvinyl chloride (PVC).

[0042] In a variant not shown, the frame 12 can also be made of wood, aluminum or steel.

[0043] Such a frame 12 of a sleeper comprises at least two uprights 20 and at least two crosspieces 22.

[0044] As shown in Figures 2 and 3, each upright 20 is formed by a hollow PVC profile. Each upright 20 is arranged so that its axis is vertical.

[0045] Each upright 20 has in profile a body 24 which has a front facing face 26 and an interior lateral face 28 which is directed transversely towards the interior of the frame 12 of the frame. The facing face 26 forms a front end face of the upright 20.

[0046] The body 24 here has a generally rectangular shaped profile, however depending on the uses, the body 24 may have a different shape. In particular the face opposite the inner lateral face 28 may have a “U” shaped profile.

[0047] The profile forming the upright 20 also comprises a frame wing 30 which projects transversely towards the inside of the frame 12 from the inner lateral face 28 of the body 24. This frame wing 30 extends substantially over the entire height of the upright 20. The frame wing 30 divides the inner lateral face 28 into a front portion 28A and a rear portion 28B.

[0048] The frame wing 30 has a front face 32 and a rear face 34. It also has a free transverse end edge 36 which extends vertically. The free edge 36 of the frame wing 30 forms an inner transverse end edge of the upright 20.

[0049] The rear face 34 of the wing 30 of the frame delimits, with the rear portion 28B of the inner lateral face 28 of the body 24, a rear rebate 38 intended to house the opening 16 in the closed position, as shown in [Fig. 3]. The rebate 38 is in the form of an “L” shaped corner. The rear face 34 of the wing 30 of the frame thus forms a stop for closing the opening 16.

[0050] The front face 32 of the wing 30 of the frame delimits, with the front portion 28A of the inner lateral face 28, a front rebate 40 intended to be turned towards the wall 15. The rebate 40 is in the form of an “L” shaped corner. The rebate 40 can possibly be used to house a guide rail for the slats of a roller shutter (not shown).

[0051] The frame 12 of the sleeper is here intended to be placed against a rear wall 42 of the wall 15 around the opening 14. The opening 14 is delimited transversely by two vertical lateral walls 44. More particularly, the facing face 26 of each upright 20 is pressed against the rear wall 42 of the wall 15. The frame 12 of the frame is fixed to the wall 15 by any known means, for example by screwing metal tabs distributed around the perimeter of the frame 12 of the frame against the wall 15.

[0052] The frame 12 of the frame thus projects rearwardly relative to the wall 15. After its installation, the wall 15 is then covered with a cladding 45 generally comprising insulation and a plasterboard. The cladding 45 has a thickness slightly less than that of the frame 12 of the frame.

[0053] To ensure a good seal between the frame 12 of the frame and the wall 15, it is known to insert a seal 46 between the upright 20 and the rear wall 42 of the wall 15. This seal 16 must be arranged close to the opening 14. Indeed, the opening 14 is delimited downwards by a support (not shown) which has a rim, called a rejingot, which projects rearward relative to the rear wall 42 of the wall 15 and which is intended to guide the flow of water forward. The seal 46 must be arranged in line with this rim to avoid any risk of water infiltration.

[0054] As shown in [Fig. 3], in the state of the art, the positioning of the sealing gasket constrains the positioning of the facing face 26 in the immediate vicinity of the opening 14, so that the front portion 28 A of the inner lateral face 28 is flush with the inner lateral wall 44 of the opening 14. As a result, the wing 30 of the frame projects transversely towards the inside of the opening 14. The part of the wing 30 of the frame that projects is commonly called a “pig”. This arrangement reduces the passage section available for light (called “glazing clear”).

[0055] As shown in [Fig.2], the invention proposes to solve this problem by housing in the rebate 40 in front of each upright 20 over its entire length a profile 48 of complementary shape.

[0056] The tapped profile 48 is here made of a metallic material such as aluminum.

[0057] In a variant not shown, the taped profile can also be made of wood, PVC or steel.

[0058] The tapped profile 48 is delimited longitudinally by a front face 50 which extends substantially in the same plane as the facing face 26 of the upright 20 and by a rear face 52 which is clamped against the front face 32 of the frame wing 30.

[0059] The tapped profile 48 here has a generally rectangular section.

[0060] The frame profile 48 is delimited transversely by a lateral face 54 in inner side directed towards the inside of the frame 12 of the sleeper and by an opposite outer side face 56.

[0061] The inner lateral face 54 is substantially flush with the free edge 36 of the frame wing 30. Thus, the inner lateral face 54 extends substantially into the pro- length of the inner side wall 44 of bay 14.

[0062] The outer lateral face 56 is arranged near or against the front portion 28A of the inner lateral face 28 of the body 24 of the upright 20.

[0063] To enable the glazing clearance to be increased, the upright 20 is arranged on the wall 15 so that the free end edge 36 of the frame wing 30 is substantially in the same plane as the corresponding interior side wall 44 of the opening 14. This thus enables the entire width of the opening 14 to be used to let light through when the opening 16 is open.

[0064] Thus, when the frame 12 of the sleeper is placed against the wall 15, the front face 50 of the profile 48 of the taped part is in abutment against the rear wall 42 of the wall 15.

[0065] The taped profile 48 has a covering wing 58 which extends transversely outwards projecting relative to the outer lateral face 56, in the extension of the front face 50 of the taped profile 48. When the taped profile 48 is housed in the front rebate 40, a rear face of the covering wing 58 bears against the front facing face 26 of the upright 20. The covering wing 58 is thus interposed between the facing face 26 of the upright 20 and the rear wall 42 of the wall 15.

[0066] The fact that the covering wing 58 and the rear face 52 of the taped profile 48 are in abutment against the upright 20 in offset planes makes it possible to guarantee good sealing between the taped profile 48 and the upright 20.

[0067] The taped profile 48 is fixed to the upright 20, in particular by screwing. In a variant of the invention not shown, the taped profile 48 is fixed to the upright 20 by gluing, by elastic interlocking or by any other suitable means.

[0068] The tapée profile 48 is preferably fixed to the frame 12 of the frame before it is installed on the wall 15. The tapée profile 48 is preferably fixed to the frame 12 of the frame during its manufacture so that the frame 12 of the frame can be delivered as a block already equipped with the tapée profile 48.

[0069] When the joinery 10 is not equipped with a roller shutter, the inner lateral face 54 of the taped profile 48 is solid.

[0070] When the joinery 10 is intended to be equipped with a roller shutter, the inner lateral face 54 of the tapped profile 48 has a guide groove (not shown) which extends vertically over its entire length. This groove is intended to guide the apron of a roller shutter.

[0071] To ensure good sealing of the window, the sealing gasket 46 is inserted between the rear wall 42 of the wall 15 and the front face 50 of the taped profile 48.

[0072] The sealing gasket 46 may be a separate element from the frame 12 of the frame which is arranged at the time of installation.

[0073] As a variant, the front face 50 of the tapped profile 48 is equipped with the seal 46 sealing during its manufacture. The sealing gasket 46 then forms part of the frame 12 of the frame.

[0074] The invention thus makes it possible to reduce the jack without having to modify the profile of the uprights 20. Furthermore, the invention makes it possible to easily produce frame 12 suitable for both joinery 10 equipped with rolling shutters or without such shutters.
