Method for positioning a doorcase with skylight as well as a positioned doorcase

Description

[0001] The invention relates to a method for positioning a doorcase with skylight in a rectangular aperture in a wall of a building, in which one provides two side door posts with shiftable adaptors at their upper ends and positions them apart from each other against the vertical limitations of the aperture along their whole length and in which one positions a lintel between the side posts above the doorway, as well as attaches by means of glass fillets a glass pane or the like between the side posts, the lintel and the ceiling.

[0002] A main part of said method is known from the Dutch Patent 138,215 of applicant, intended for a doorcase the components of which are manufactured from aluminum. Therewith it is possible to saw the side posts in the correct length at the building site. This became more difficult when one was going to roll the components from steel plate preferably provided with a surface coating. Then, one is going to work with adaptors being shifted in the upper end of the side posts (FR-A-1 219 295). Then, the side posts themselves are delivered in standard lengths and the tolerance differences at the building site are accommodated by the adaptors being shifted more or less far in the side posts.

[0003] In the method according to the Dutch Patent 138,215 and also in the modified known method the side posts of correct length are arranged between ceiling and floor with adaptors or not and attached to the wall with the correct spacing. Subsequently the glass fillets are brought in the correct length and connected to the upper portions of the posts. Preferably, said attachment of the glass fillets is carried out by snapping on punched lips of the side posts.

[0004] Then, on the upper edge of the glass pane of the skylight a glass channel section is provided having flexible upward lips or edges and the glass pane is shifted upwards from beneath. Thereafter, at the lower side of the glass pane a lintel is positioned being screwed fixedly at the lower ends of the glass fillets.

[0005] Thus, with this known method the glass fillets still should be brought in the correct length at the building site. Further fixing the lintel by screwing is quite time consuming.

[0006] The invention has the object to improve further the known method, by which mounting of the doorcase may occur quicker and thus cheaper.

[0007] According to the invention this is obtained in that first one connects the lintel to the side posts at the correct height above the floor by inserting in apertures provided therein, that one positions on the upper edge of the glass pane or the like an upper member the edges of which engage around the adaptors and form therewith a fitting connection and that one positions the lower edge of the glass pane or the like in the lintel and tilts the glass pane with upper member in the doorcase, after which the glass fillets are provided by snapping.

[0008] In this way nothing needs to be adapted and screwed fixedly at the building site.

[0009] The invention as described in claims 2 to 5 relates also to a doorcase positioned thus and to a lintel, an adaptor and an upper member destined to it.

[0010] The invention will be elucidated by reference to the drawing, in which:

Fig. 1 is a view of the positioned doorcase having suspended therein a door;

Fig. 2 an enlarged cross-section along the line II-II of Fig. 1;

Fig. 3 an exploded view of the detail according to the circle A in Fig. 1; and

Fig. 4 an exploded view of the detail according to the circle B in Fig. 1.

[0011] In Fig. 1 the ceiling of the building has been referred by 1, the floor by 2 and the wall by 3.

[0012] The side door posts manufactured from rolled steel plate are referred by 4 and provided at their upper ends with adaptors 5. The door is indicated with 6, the lintel with 7, the upper member with 8, the skylight with 9 and the glass fillets with 10.

[0013] Such a doorcase is generally known.

[0014] Doorcases having a skylight constitute up to 85-90% of all inner doorcases in the present building.

[0015] Thus, each saving in assembling such doorcases has the influence of a high cost improvement in the whole building industry.

[0016] All of the components, such as side door posts 4, adaptors 5, lintel 7, upper member 8 and glass fillets 10 may, as known, be completely finished and provided with a surface coating already in delivering at the building site.

[0017] Then, painting is not necessary anymore.

[0018] In delivering the adaptor 5 has already been shifted in the upper end of each side post 4. The shape of said adaptor 5 known per se appears clearly from Fig. 3. The new feature is represented by the cutting 11 and the lip 12.

[0019] The upper member 8 is entirely new.

[0020] The rectangular cross-section of the upper member 8 appears clearly from Fig. 3. The lower wall defines two troughs 13 having therebetween a slot for receiving the upper edge of the glass pane 9, preferably clamped by resilient pressure means not shown and known per se, and to be arranged in the slot.

[0021] At both ends of the upper member 8, from the one trough the bottom and a short upstanding wall is cut away along a portion of the length, whereas from the other trough a portion of the long upstanding wall is cut away, said cuttings being indicated by 14 and 15.

[0022] The glass fillet 10 is in U-shape with snapping edges 16 directed inwards and adapted to snap in known way over lips 17 bended from the side posts 4.

[0023] In one wall of the U a groove 18 is provided for receiving a sealing section 19, sealing against the glass pane 9, see Fig. 2.

[0024] Now, the lintel 7 will be discussed by reference to Fig. 4.

[0025] The lintel 7 consists of a high rectangular duct 20 and a low rectangular duct 21, connected by a body portion 22.

[0026] The upstanding walls facing to each other of the ducts 21 and 20 define with the body portion 22 a slot in which the glass pane 9 can seat.

[0027] At both ends a piece is removed from the low duct 21.

[0028] At the correct distance above the lower end of each side post 4, in each side post 4 a rectangular aperture 23 is provided in which the high duct 20 fits. Then, the end face of the low duct 21 lies against the face 24 of the side post 4.

[0029] The assembling of the doorcase is carried out as follows:

In the rectangular wall aperture both of the side door posts 4 having in it the adaptors 5 are arranged vertically and fixed by known adjusting means.

[0030] Thereby, the lower ends of the side posts 4 rest on the floor 2.

[0031] The apertures 23 are at a correct spacing from the floor 2 corresponding to the height of the door 6 having standard dimensions.

[0032] The adaptors 5 are shifted outwards such that their upper ends engage against the ceiling 1. This can take place by means of the upper member 8.

[0033] For clearness sake of the.drawing, in Fig. 3 the lip 12 of the adaptor 5 is shown in rearward direction. Actually, said lip 12 is directed to that side of the doorcase from which the assembling takes place, thus in Fig. 1 frontwardly.

[0034] By shifting the upper member 8 onto the adaptors 5 from the right in Fig. 3 parallel to itself, the lips 12 engage in the cuttings 15.

[0035] Now, one may tap the upper member 8 upwardly upto against the ceiling 1, in which the adaptors 5 are taken along and shifted out of the side posts 4 by the correct distance.

[0036] The side posts 4, at least one thereof is initially positioned closer to the wall 3 then necessary in using condition.

[0037] By said initially larger spacing of the side posts 4 it is possible to provide the lintel 7.

[0038] By bringing the side posts 4 to each other again until the head faces of the low ducts 21 of the cross beam 7 engage against the faces 24 of the side posts 4 and the faces 24 of the side posts 4 and the head faces of the upper member 8 against the corresponding faces 24 of the adaptors 5 and by fixing the side posts 4 in this position, the doorway for the door 6 is exactly correct. Then, the door 6 can be suspended in the doorcase by conventional means.

[0039] Now, the upper member 8 is removed again and positioned on the upper edge of a glass pane 9 or the like.

[0040] The lower edge of the glass pane 9 is positioned in the lintel 7 in a frontwardly inclining position into the slot between the ducts 20 and 21.

[0041] Now, the glass pane 9 is tilted rearwardly upto the vertical position, together with the upper member 8 positioned thereon. The ends of the upper member 8 then grips again around the lips 12 of the adaptors 5.

[0042] Finally, the glass fillets 10 are snapped on the lips 17 of the side posts 4.

[0043] Said glass fillets 10 need not to be sawed in length, because the oversize is accommodated again into the cuttings 14 of the upper member 8.

[0044] Thus, at the building site nothing needs to be sized. Also, the height of the glass pane 9 is not critical, because in the upper member 8 and/or eventually in the lintel 7 resilient pressure means may be provided.
