Description

DESCRIPTION

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present invention relates to a method and device for glazing of a door.

[0002] The door has a through opening in which a unit of glass is arranged and mounted by means of one or two strips.

BACKGROUND ART

[0003] It is previously known from glazing of doors to apply a unit of glass in one in a door arranged through opening. The unit of glass is held in place by means of strips which lie in contact with the unit of glass and the door. The strips are attached to the door by means of glue and/or nail or screw.

[0004] A problem with previously known solutions is the use of glue since glue has the risk of soiling personnel, machines and the objects to be produced. The method thus requires inspection after production and personnel prepared to remove surplus glue. A problem with using nail or screw is that the strip has to be brought and held in the correct position in order to be nailed or screwed. Such a method requires either advanced machinery and/or a large number of employees.

[0005] Document GB2289708A discloses a glazing strip with a channel arranged to receive the outer skin of the door blade, and an anchor element arranged to penetrate the inner foam of the door blade to lock the glazing strip to the foam. The body of the glazing strip helps to prevent the glazing strip being sprung out and provides a good weather seal. The glazing strip is also provided with a retaining element which engages the glass panel to retain it.

[0006] Document EP1069274A2 discloses decorative profiles framing glazed openings in the door blade. In one embodiment the decorative profile is an ornamental profile ring provided with notches engaging with grooves and notches on the circular opening in a door blade upon turning the ornamental profile ring.

[0007] There thus exists a request for an improved and simplified method for glazing of doors where the problem of prior art are eliminated, and an improved door with a unit of glass.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION

[0008] The present invention aims to solve the problems from prior art with the intention to simplify and improve a method for glazing together with an improved door with a unit of glass.

[0009] The problem is solved through a method for glazing a door comprising a first outer layer comprising a first outer side and a first inner side, a second outer layer comprising a second outer side and a second inner side and an insulating layer arranged between the first inner side and the second inner side, the method comprising the steps: • to place a unit of glass in an existing through opening in a door: • to place a strip to lie in contact with the glass plate and to lie in contact with the door: • to attach the strip against the door by that one of the strip existing flange by means of a snap function is placed on the first inner side of the first outer layer between the unit of glass and the first outer layer, the first outer layer comprises a first edge defining the opening in the first outer layer, where the first edge comprises second protrusions, and wherein the method further comprising the step: • to place the first flange on the first inner side of the first outer layer at least against the second protrusions, and wherein the first flange is snapped into place against the first inner side by means of the first strip and/or parts of the first flange elastically give way to the pressure that arises between the first flange and the first outer side of the first outer layer as the first strip by means of pressure is placed in the opening and/or the first flange is snapped into place against the first inner side by means of that the second protrusions elastically give way for the pressure that arises between the first flange and the first outer side of the first outer layer as the strip by means of pressure is placed in the opening.

[0010] The snap function gives a simplified production where the need for glue or other adhesive means are eliminated or at least strongly reduced.

[0011] According to one embodiment not being part of the invention the snap function is possible as the flange comprises a first part of an edge comprising first protrusions intended to be placed on the first inner side of the first layer. The outer layer comprises a first edge defining the opening of the first layer. With the snap function is meant that the first protrusions are able to pass through the first edge by means of that the strip is arranged to admit a temporary and elastic deformation of the strip as the first protrusions pass the first edge, to later admit that the strip retains its original shape with the first protrusions between the unit of glass and the first inner side of the first outer layer.

[0012] The flange is thus snapped into place against the first inner side by means of that the first protrusions elastically give way for the pressure that arises between the flange and the first outer side of the first layer as the strip by means of pressure is placed in the opening. The strip can be produced using injection-moulding, or using mechanical processing of a straight flange. The mechanical processing can for instance be carried out by means of milling, grinding, etching, etc. The strip can then preferably be continuously cast, which gives straight, inexpensive products.

[0013] When the first protrusions are small enough the elastic forces in the strip may admit that the insulating layer is displaced, but if the first protrusions are many or has a large contact surface against the insulating layer, the insulating layer may have to be removed or be made smaller.

[0014] The insulating layer can comprise of air or a material with the same, higher or lower density, depending on what kind of door is concerned (for instance if it is an exterior door or interior door) and what kind of insulation need that has to be met. The insulating layer can be sound proof, heat-insulating, cold-insulating or be of another insulating kind.

[0015] In an embodiment of the invention the snap function is executed by means of that the first edge of the first layer comprises second protrusions, whereupon the flange is placed on the inside of the first layer at least against the second protrusions. In this embodiment the first part of the edge of the flange can be straight, i.e. lack first protrusions. The flange is thus snapped into place against the first inner side by means of the first strip and/or parts of the flange elastically give way to the pressure that arises between the flange and the first outer side of the first layer as the strip by means of pressure is placed in the opening. The flange can also be snapped into place against the first inner side by means of that the first the second protrusions elastically give way for the pressure that arises between the flange and the first outer side of the first layer as the strip by means of pressure is placed in the opening. The flange can also be snapped into place through a combination of the above mentioned elastic properties of the different included parts of the door composition.

[0016] An advantage of this embodiment is that the production of the strip is simplified as the strip does not have to comprise the first protrusions which admit that the strip can be manufactured using continuous casting. Another advantage is that the second protrusions simply can be manufactured as the opening of the door is made or through a simple processing procedure of the different layers in the door after that the through opening has been made. As an example milling can be mentioned as a suitable procedure for obtaining the second protrusions. The second protrusions can also be shaped in the second outer layer in the same way as indicated for the first outer layer. Another advantage with the embodiment comprising the second protrusions is that the in the door existing layers can be processed separately whereupon a variation of the first strip can be used against the first outer layer and another variation of the first strip can be used against the second outer layer. Through the procedure to shape at least the first outer layer with the second protrusions, the insulation layer preferably simultaneously can be processed in such a way that the unit of glass can be placed in the through opening with different kinds of contact against the insulating layer. The insulating layer can for instance be modelled with an L-shaped profile which gives that the unit of glass by means of a surrounding edge abut against a part of the insulating layer that defines a part of the through opening, and that the unit of glass by means of a part of the plane surface of the unit of glass is abut against a flange of the insulating layer. The L-shaped profile can be determined using the functional depth of the tool processing the first outer layer.

[0017] In one embodiment not being part of the invention the flange of the strip comprises the first protrusions and the first outer layer and/or the second outer layer comprises the second protrusions. The first and the second protrusions interact during the locking of the strip in the opening. The above mentioned snap function is valid in its different variations for this embodiment also.

[0018] The strip comprises a first contact surface brought in direct or indirect contact with unit of glass. The flange comprises a second contact surface intended to directly or indirectly abut against the first inner side of the first layer. The first contact surface is arranged at a first distance from the first contact surface, said first distance is determined in relation to a second distance between the first inner side of the second outer layer and the unit of glass in such a way that the flange exerts pressure against the first inner side of the first outer layer and where the first contact surface exerts pressure against the unit of glass.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0020] Fig.1 schematically shows a door 1 which is glazed according to the invention. The door 1 comprises a through opening 2, a unit of glass 3 placed in the opening 2 and a first strip 4 placed in the opening 2 to keep the unit of glass in place. The door 1 can also comprise a second strip (see figure 3) arranged on the opposite side of the unit of glass 3. The door 1 comprises a first outer layer 5 comprising a first outer side 6 and a first inner side 7. The door 1 has an extension in a plane defined by a vertical vector Y and a lateral vector X and a thickness in depth Z.

[0021] Fig.2 schematically shows a first strip according to an embodiment not being part of the invention. In figure 2 the strip is laid out in the same plane as the door in figure 1, i.e. the first strip 4 has an extension in a plane defined by a vertical vector Y and a lateral vector X and a thickness in depth Z. The first strip 4 comprises a main body 8, a first flange 9 extending from the main body 8 in the plane X-Y and an overlapping part 10 extending from the main body 8 in the plane X-Y. Figure 2 shows the first flange 9 towards an observer.

[0022] According to the embodiment, the first flange 9 comprises first protrusions 11. Figure 2 shows that the first protrusions 11 are formed by that the first flange 9 in the plane X-Y has an undulating surrounding first part of an edge 12. The first protrusions 11 comprise the outer parts of the first flange 9. The first protrusions 11 are not limited to such a shape that is described in figure 2, but can, with the main body 8 as a base, be square, triangular, polygonal, oval, round or any other suitable shape. With reference to figure 1, the first protrusions 11 are in all cases intended to be placed on the first inner side 7 of the first outer layer 5 by means of a snap function. With "snap function" it is meant that when the first strip 4 is placed in the opening, the first protrusions first will abut against the first outer side 6 of the first outer layer 5 but when the pressure between the first strip 4 and the first outer layer 5 increases and passes a threshold value one part of the first strip 4 shall elastically give way in such a way that the first protrusions 11 can pass the first layer in order to be able to operate against the first layer's first inner side 7. By "one part of the first strip" means for instance that the first protrusions 11 give way in depth Z and /or that the main body 8 gives way in vertical direction Y or lateral direction X.

[0023] Fig. 3 schematically shows a cross section along the line ll-ll in figure 1 according to a first example. The door comprises the first outer layer 5, comprising the first outer side 6 and the first inner side 7, another outer layer 13 comprising a second outer side 14 and a second inner side 15 and an insulating layer 16 arranged between the first inner side 7 and the second inner side 15. The first outer layer 5 comprises a first edge 17 which defines the opening 2 in the first outer layer 5.

[0024] Figure 3 shows that the first strip 4 is attached to the door 1 by means of that the first flange 9 is placed on the first inner side 7 of the first outer layer 5 between the unit of glass and the first outer layer 5.

[0025] The first strip 9 comprises a first contact surface 18 which is in direct or indirect contact with the unit of glass 3. The first flange 9 comprises a second contact surface 19 which is in direct or indirect contact with the first inner side 7 of the first outer layer 5. With indirect contact is meant that there between the first contact surface 18 and the unit of glass 3 may exist a first distancing element 20 which transfers the force from the first strip 4 against the unit of glass 3 in such a way that the unit of glass 3 is held in place. The first distancing element 20 may be constituted by a sealing strip that may be rigid or somewhat yielding.

[0026] Figure 3 shows that the first contact surface 18 of the first strip 4 abuts against the first distancing element 20 which in turn abuts against the unit of glass. The second contact surface 19 of the first flange 9 abuts directly against the first inner side 7 of the first outer layer 5. The first contact surface 18 is arranged at a first distance L1 from the second contact surface 19, said first distance L1 being determined in relation to a second distance L2 between the first outer layer 5 and the unit of glass 3 in such a way that the second contact surface 19 exerts pressure on the first inner side 7 of the first outer layer 5 and where the first contact surface 18 exerts pressure on the unit of glass 3.

[0027] Figure 3 shows that the second outer layer 13 comprises a second edge 21 that in the second outer layer 13 defines the opening 2 in the second outer layer 13. The insulating layer 16 comprises a third edge 22 which defines the opening 2 in the insulating layer 16.

[0028] In figure 3 it is shown that the first protrusions 11 displaces the corresponding parts of the insulating layer 16 in the third edge 22 as the first protrusions 11 is placed on the first inner side 7 of the first outer layer 5. In a different embodiment not being part of the invention at least parts of the insulating layer 16 are placed at a distance from at least parts of the first edge 17. The insulating layer 16 can be processed, i.e. be removed by means of a suitable method, for instance by milling, in such a way that parts of the insulating layer, i.e. the third edge, will be positioned at a distance from the first edge in such a way that the first protrusions easily can be snapped into place. The opening 2 in the insulating layer can also be larger than the opening 2 of the first outer layer 5, which means that the third edge is placed at a distance from the first edge surrounding the opening.

[0029] Figure 3 shows that the opening 2 in the insulating layer comprises a first opening 2a and a second opening 2b where the first opening transitions into the opening in the first outer layer 5 and the second opening 2b transitions into the opening 2a in the second outer layer 13. The second outer opening 2b and the opening 2 in the second outer layer 13 are smaller than the first opening 2a and the opening 2 in the first layer 5 and are smaller than the extension in the X-Y plane of the unit of glass 3, which means that the insulating layer 16 has a L-shaped cross section comprising a third contact surface 23 with an extension in the plane X-Y. In figure 3 the unit of glass 3 is arranged in the opening 2 in such a way that the unit of glass 3 abuts against the third contact surface 23. An advantage with this is that the insulating layer 16 forms a seal against the unit of glass 3, which makes it possible for a simpler kind of strip to be arranged at the second outer side 14 of the second outer layer 13. Another advantage with the embodiment is that the L-shaped part of the insulating layer 16 together with the outer layer 13 provides a strong unit, which may be advantageous when the second outer layer 13 is used as an outer side of an exterior door. In a different embodiment not being part of the invention (not shown) the opening 2 in the insulating layer 16 is of the same size the whole way through the insulating layer 16, but the opening 2 in the second outer layer 13 is smaller than the rest of the opening 2. The unit of glass then abuts directly or indirectly against the second inner side 15 of the second outer layer 13. A sealing strip or similar can be arranged between the unit of glass and the second inner side.

[0030] Fig. 4 schematically shows a cross section along the line ll-ll in figure 1 according to a second example. Figure 4 shows the same thing as figure 3, but with the difference that in the opening of the second outer layer 13 a second strip 24 by means of the above describe snap function is placed. The second strip 24 can differ from the first through colour, material, size, etc., but a common feature is that the second strip 24 is designed in the same way as the first strip 4 with reference to the snap function.

[0031] Figure 4 shows that the first edge 17 of the first outer layer 5 is chamfered X1 in order to facilitate the snap function. When the first strip 4 is put into place a pressure on the first strip 4 is exerted in depth, i.e. in the Z direction, and the chamfered X1 first edge 17 makes the forces between the first flange 9 and the first outer side 6 transit into force components in depth Z and in a direction coinciding with the plane X-Y. The force components together form a total force component essentially perpendicular to the chamfered first part of the edge 12. The chamfered X1 first edge 17 is thus chamfered in such a way that a part of the part of the edge 12 fits into the opening formed by the chamfered X1 first edge 17. The second edge of the second outer layer may be chamfered in the same way and for the same reason that the first edge is chamfered. If the first edge and the second edge are chamfered, the first part of the edge and the second part of the edge may not necessarily be chamfered, but they can be.

[0032] Figure 4 shows on one side of the opening 2 that the first part of the edge 12 of the first strip 4 is chamfered X2 to facilitate the snap function, but shows on the second side that the first part of the edge is not chamfered, i.e. it is essentially straight. The reason that both of the variants are shown is to make the possibilities of the invention clearer and in practise the choice is made to either chamfer the first part of the edge or not. When the first part of the edge 12 is not chamfered the corner of the part of the edge rides upon the chamfered X1 first edge and when the first part of the edge 12 is chamfered the chamfered surfaces ride upon each other. When the strip is put into place a pressure on the strip is exerted in depth, i.e. in the Z direction, and the chamfered first part of the edge 12 makes the forces between the first flange 9 and the first outer side 6 transit into force components in depth Z and in a direction coinciding with the plane X-Y. The force components together form a total force component essentially perpendicular to the chamfered first part of the edge 12. The chamfered first part of the edge 12 is thus chamfered in such away that a part of the chamfered first part of the edge 12 fits into the opening 2, while a different part of the chamfered first part of the edge 12 protrudes over the first outer side. Figure 4 shows that a corresponding second part of the edge 26 of the second strip 24 is not chamfered and that the second outer layer 13 is not chamfered, but that the snap function in spite of this is made possible.

[0033] Fig. 5 schematically shows a cross section along the line ll-ll in figure 1 according to a third example. Figure 5 shows the same thing as figure 4, but with the difference that the opening 2 in the second outer layer 13 is of the same size as both the opening 2 in the insulating material and the opening 2 of the first outer layer 5 and with the difference that the unit of glass 3 abuts directly against the first contact surface 18. Figure 5 shows that a second distancing element 25 is placed between the overlapping part 10 of the first strip and the first outer side 6 of the first outer layer 5. Figure 5 shows that the second distancing element is placed between the overlapping part 10 of the second strip 24 and the second outer side 14 of the second outer layer 13. The second distancing element 25 can be constituted by a sealing strip that may be rigid or somewhat yielding. The second distancing element 25 can be combined with the first distancing element 20 according to figures 3, 4 or 6.

[0034] Figure 5 shows that the first part of the edge 12 of the first strip 4 is chamfered to facilitate the snap function. When the first strip 4 is put into place a pressure on the first strip in depth, i.e. in the Z direction, is exerted and the chamfered first part of the edge 12 makes the forces transit into force components in depth and in a direction coinciding with the X-Y plane. The force components together form a total force component essentially perpendicular to the chamfered first part of the edge 12. The chamfered first part of the edge 12 is thus chamfered in such away that a part of the chamfered first part of the edge 12 fits into the opening 2, while a different part of the chamfered first part of the edge 12 protrudes over the first outer side. Figure 5 shows that a corresponding second part of the edge 26 of the second strip 24 is chamfered in the same way and of the same reason.

[0035] In another embodiment not being part of the invention (not shown) of the invention the first edge of the first outer layer and the second edge of the second outer layer are chamfered in the same way and for the same reason that the first part of the edge and the second part of the edge are chamfered. If the first edge and the second edge are chamfered, the first part of the edge and the second part of the edge does not have to be chamfered, but they can be.

[0036] Fig. 6 schematically shows a cross section along the line ll-ll according to a fourth example. Figure 6 shows the same thing as figure 5 but with the difference that the first part of the edge 12 and the second part of the edge 26 are not chamfered and with the difference that the second distance elements are missing, i.e. the overlapping part 10 of the first strip 4 abuts directly against the first outer side 6 and the overlapping part 10 of the second strip 24 abuts directly against the second outer side 15. Another difference to figure 5 is that the first distancing elements 20 described in conjunction with figure 3 and 4 are arranged between the unit of glass and the first strip 4 and between the unit of glass 3 and the second strip 24.

[0037] Fig. 7 schematically shows a first strip according to an embodiment of the invention. Figure 7 shows the same thing as figure 2, but with the difference that the first protrusions have a different design than in figure 2. In figure 7 it is shown that the first strip 4 comprises fewer but pointier first protrusions than in figure 2. The first protrusions 11 are suitably placed in the vicinity of the in the hole existing corners, such that the strip after being snapped in to place keeps the unit of glass in place. The description of the in figure 2 and 7 shown first strip is also valid for the in figures 4-6 shown second strip.

[0038] Fig.8 schematically shows as door glazed with a first strip according to figure 2 or 7. In figure 8 it is shown that at least a part of the first protrusions 11 after snapping of the first strip into the opening 2 is located between the unit of glass 3 and the first inner side 7.

[0039] Fig. 9 schematically shows a door according to figure 5 or 6. Figure 9 shows that the first edge 17 of the first outer layer 5 comprises second protrusions 27, where the first flange 9 is placed on the inside of the first outer layer 5 against at least the other protrusions 27. The second protrusions can be designed in the same way as the first protrusions 11, i.e. undulating, square, triangular, semicircle shaped, semi elliptical etc. The embodiment shown in figure 9 can be used in combination with the embodiments shown in figures 1-8.

[0040] The first and the second protrusions 11, 27 can be arranged in respective detail with the same relative distance such that the first and second protrusions abut against each other after that the strip (first strip and/or second strip) is placed in the opening. The strip can be placed by means of that the strip is displaced in vertical direction Y or lateral direction X in such a way that the first protrusions and the second protrusions are not aligned with each other after which the strip is displaced backwards in such a way that the first protrusions and the second protrusions are aligned and thereupon are in mesh with each other. The last thing remaining is then to snap an edge of the strip in place according to what has been described in conjunction with the figures 1-8.

[0041] In figure 9 it is shown that the opening 2 is through and through, according to figure 5 and 6, and that the second outer layer 13, as far as the opening 2 is concerned, has the same design as the first outer layer 5.

[0042] Figure 10 schematically shows a first strip 4 according to an embodiment not being part of the invention. In figure 10 the first strip is identical to the first strip 4 described in conjunction with any of figures 1-9, but with the difference that the first flange 9 lack the first protrusions. In figure 10 the first part of the edge 12 of the first flange 9 is essentially straight and is intended to interact with the second protrusions 27 shown in figure 9.

[0043] Fig. 11 schematically shows a glazed door 1 with components according to figure 9 and 10. Figure 11 shows that the second contact surface 19 of the first flange 9 abuts directly or indirectly against the first inner side 7 of the first outer layer 5 in conjunction with the second protrusions 27 shown in figure 9. The first strip 4 has by means of the previously described snap function been brought into place.

[0044] Fig. 12 schematically shows a door according to figure 3 or 4. In figure 12 it is shown that the opening 2 is through and through according to figure 5 and 6 and that the second outer layer 13, as far as the opening 2 is concerned, has a different design than the first outer layer 5. The opening 2 is smaller in the second outer layer 13 than in the first outer layer 5, but the second edge 21 comprises second protrusions 27. The insulating layer 16 has a L-shaped cross section, i.e. comprises a second flange 28 where the second flange 28 comprises a third contact surface 23 against which a part of the unit of glass is intended to abut.

[0045] Below follows an example of a glazed exterior or interior door according to the invention with a strip comprising an essentially straight flange according to figure 10, i.e. without first protrusions, and a first outer layer comprising second protrusions according to any of figures 3-6 and 9-12. The invention can of course be used on different sizes and materials than those mentioned in the example.

[0046] The unit of glass is approximately 550 mm wide and 950 mm tall. There are units of glass that are larger or smaller, e.g. a unit of glass in a terrace door can be of the size 600 mm x 1800 mm.

[0047] It is approximately 100 mm between the second protrusions (L4 in figure 12).

[0048] Each of the second protrusions are approximately 20 mm wide at the base (L5 in figure 12) and protrudes (L6 in figure 12) approximately 3.5 mm from the other first layer in the first plane of the layer. The second protrusions have a tip that is essentially flat and which is approximately 15 mm wide (L7 in figure 12). The same applies to the second outer layer.

[0049] The first layer is approximately 3.5 mm thick (L3 in figures 3-6).

[0050] The flange is approximately 3 mm thick (L1 in figures 3-6).

[0051] The distance between the unit of glass 3 and the first contact surface 18 is approximately 1.5 mm, i.e. the first distancing element 20 has after assembly of the unit of glass 3 and the first strip 4 a thickness of approximately 1.5 mm (L2 in figures 3, 4 and 6).

[0052] The distance (L8 in figure 12) from one corner of the opening to the centre of the closest second protrusion is approximately 40 mm.

[0053] Materials: The surface layer of the door is made of "high density fibre board" or of "medium density fibre board" or of plywood or of plastic (glass fibre, PVC, etc) or of metal. These surface layers are often combined with some kind of stabilising metal such as aluminium or steel to prevent the door from becoming warped. The strip can be made of said materials.

[0054] The invention is not limited to the embodiments described in conjunction to figures 1-11 but can be varied within the frame of the adjoining patent claims. As an example can be mentioned that the hole does not have to be square, but it can be polygonal, round, oval, etc. The unit of glass can comprise one or several translucent and/or transparent sheets of suitable material, e.g. glass or plastic. As the unit of glass comprises several sheets they are suitable joined along the existing edges of the unit of glass.

[0055] The in conjunction with figure 4 and 5 described chamfering of the first part of the edge and the first edge can refer to the whole or parts of the first protrusions and/or the second protrusions.
