OBJECT OF THE INVENTION
[0001] The present invention relates to the registration of a device for the transmission
of the closing movement of the "Cremona" (system locks or vertical bolts) to the seals
/ gasket of tightness (a form of lid to seal connections) on sliding aluminium windows,
PVC, wood, steel, polyurethane, and generally all kinds of materials.
[0002] More specifically, the invention relates to a fixture of steel, divided into several
independent elements interconnected, that are responsible for transmitting the movement
of the locking fittings to the inner sealing gaskets leaves thus aiming sliding windows
forms a better seal between said sheets and fixed elements or frames.
[0003] The window that is proposed is particularly suitable for installation in areas of
particularly severe weather, and more energy efficient.
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
[0004] To date, the known sliding windows sealing of tightness characteristics based on
the interposition of felts (small rod of cloth sewn to a rigid base) between the sheets
(movable elements) and the frame (fixed elements).
[0005] However, this configuration has the main drawback connected to the limited effectiveness
of such high wear felts, which results in reduced efficiency in terms of tightness.
[0006] A second set of sliding windows that are using rubber gaskets as interposer, which
requires "elevate" the leaves where these are housed together in order to separate
them from the frames and get a proper sliding without friction. In this case, the
biggest drawback is "raising" the leaves, which requires the use of reinforced fittings,
able to withstand the loads due to the weight of the glass, this will have to oversize
sheets and frames employees, which in most cases makes it impractical to install in
usual buildings.
[0007] Finally, a third set of sliding windows based on the opening and closing movement
of the internal rubber gaskets, using special fittings built into a specific channel
in the interior of leaves. This system limits dramatically, both building materials
(aluminium only), and possible variations in construction measures leaf and frame,
so that it is applicable only in a narrow range of measures. Also the use of unique
hardware and special dimensions make little versatile with a higher cost of production,
so it is almost commercially non-viable.
DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
[0008] The present invention has been developed in order to provide a device that solves
the previously stated disadvantages, in addition providing other additional advantages
that will be apparent from the accompanying description below.
[0009] It is therefore an object of the present invention to provide a device for transmitting
movement of closure sliding windows of the type which comprises a fixed rectangular
outer frame and an inner rectangular frame containing the sheet horizontally sliding
window along the inside the outer frame, the inner frame including one Cremona/handles
to block and / or releasing the inner framework from the outer framework. In particular,
the device is characterized by the fact that it comprises sealing gaskets
(tightness) disposed above and below between the outer frame and inner frame slid
able, said seals (tightness) being movable by sealing means connected to the Cremona/handle,
such that said means actuating transform the rotational movement of the Cremona/handle
in an up / down linear motion of the sealing (tightness) rings so that in a closing
position, the seals are in direct contact with the inside of the outer frame while
a second release position, the seals are spaced apart a distance or predetermined
height relative to the outer frame.
[0010] Thanks to these characteristics, a reliable and easy to manufacture device that provides
a greater degree of tightness of the window when in a closed condition, without the
need to oversize sheets and frames used in the manufacture of the window is provided.
[0011] According to a preferred embodiment of the invention the drive means comprises:
a vertically accommodated inside a recessed portion situated in a horizontal plate
which runs between an inner profile and an outer profile, in which the horizontal
plate has at least two horizontal sections at different levels interconnected by a
sloping section actuator displaceable bolt, acting on the actuator pin,
a movable vertical shaft coupled to the Cremona/handle vertically so moved vertically
by the rotary action of the Cremona/handle, and
an elastic strap that passes partially about a guide at right angles and which is
supported at the outer profile of the inner frame, the horizontal and vertical shaft
of the elastic strip coupled integrally by means of respective rivets being.
[0012] Preferably, the actuator slides inwardly bolt through a self-lubricating bushing
fixed on the outer profile of the inner frame.
[0013] According to another aspect of the invention, the vertical plate has a latch bolt
which moves on a frame disposed in the outer housing, making the latch bolt pin actuator
and movement are synchronized.
[0014] To complement the description being made and with the object of helping to better
understand the features of the invention according to a preferred practical embodiment
thereof, accompanying as an integral part of said description, a set of drawings that
are illustrative and not limiting were represented:

DESCRIPTION OF A PREFERRED EMBODIMENT
[0016] As shown in the accompanying figures, a device for the transmission of the closing
movement is provided in sliding windows, said windows being of the type comprising
mainly an outer rectangular frame (1) fixed to a wall and an inner rectangular frame
(2 ) containing the foil window, sliding horizontally along the interior of the outer
frame (1), including the inner frame (2) an Cremona/handle (3) attached to a handle
(4) which serves to lock and / or release the inner frame relative to the outer frame.
In Figure 1 shows the handle (4) separated from the cremona/handle (3) to be lighter.
[0017] Additionally, sealing gaskets (5), made of rubber, rubber or the like, are arranged
above and below between the outer frame (1) and the slid able inner frame (2), said
gaskets (5) movable by a means connected to the cremona/handle (3) described below.
Such drive means are the same for the top and the bottom of the window.
[0018] Now, with particular reference to the actuation means comprise a metal actuator bolt
(6) that acts as a cam, such that it can move vertically and is housed inside a metallic
slotted portion located in a horizontal plate (7) that elapses between an inner profile
(21) and an outer profile (22) of the inner frame (20), wherein the horizontal flange
has two horizontal sections at different levels connected by an inclined portion,
which act on the actuating bolt (6) , so that it moves up and down. It also has a
vertical metal plate (8) which moves vertically and is coupled to the cremona/handle
(3) so it is scrolled by the rotating action of Cremona (3). In Figures 3a and 3b
can be clearly seen as operating the vertical and horizontal strips with respect to
the sealing rings (5), so that in Figure 3a the seal (5) is separated from the outer
frame (1) while 3b that the seal (5) is in contact with the outer frame (1), so it
provides a sealing condition.
[0019] Additionally, an elastic band passes partially about a guide (9) at right angles
and which is supported at the outer profile of the inner frame, the horizontal and
vertical plate coupled to the elastic strip integrally by means of respective rivets
(12) being.
[0020] As shown, the vertical plate (8) comprises a latch bolt (10) moving on a housing,
also known as keeper (11) disposed at the inside of the outer frame (1) of the window.
[0021] The horizontal plate (7) and the vertical shaft (8) has at one end a toothed portion
(71) and (81) respectively oriented to face to the outside profile (22).
[0022] At the bottom of Figure 1 can be a pair of adjustable bearings (14) located in ends
of the inner frame (2), so as to allow sliding of the inner frame (2) along the length
of the outer frame (1).
[0023] Mentioned that the device described herein is compatible with fastening systems known
in the art such as those called "sixteen channel" applicable in the field of woodworking
(windows, etc.).
