Description

La présente invention concerne une fenêtre, porte-fenêtre, ou analogue, dite à châssis respirant, comprenant :

  • un premier cadre apte à assurer une fonction d'ouvrant, comportant une feuillure extérieure pour un vitrage dit extérieur et une feuillure intérieure pour un vitrage dit intérieur confinant une lame d'air entre ces derniers,
  • un deuxième cadre apte à assurer une fonction de dormant dans lequel le premier cadre est destiné à être positionné selon une position de fermeture de la fenêtre, porte-fenêtre ou analogue,
  • des moyens pour établir une connexion fluidique entre la lame d'air et l'extérieur, dans ladite position de fermeture au moins.
The present invention relates to a window, French window, or the like, referred to as a breathable frame, comprising:
  • a first frame adapted to provide an opening function, comprising an outer rabbet for so-called outer glazing and an inner rabbet for a said inner glazing confining a blade of air between them,
  • a second frame adapted to provide a frame function in which the first frame is intended to be positioned in a closed position of the window, French window or the like,
  • means for establishing a fluid connection between the air knife and the outside, in said at least one closed position.

L'art antérieur enseigne de telles fenêtres, portes-fenêtres ou analogue. Généralement, ce type de fenêtre ou porte-fenêtre dit à châssis respirant concerne les fenêtres de type à ouvrant battant ou oscillo-battant, et offre des possibilités multiples en matière d'isolation thermique, phonique, ou de la lumière. Par exemple, dans la lame d'air entre le vitrage dit extérieur et le vitrage dit intérieur, on peut y placer un moyen d'occultation de la lumière, notamment un store à lames. Par le terme fenêtres, portes-fenêtres ou analogue, on entend toutes fenêtres ou portes-fenêtres dont l'ouvrant est fonctionnel mobile ou dont l'ouvrant a été définitivement fixé en position de fermeture, et/ou dont le vitrage extérieur et/ou intérieur a été remplacé par un panneau occultant. Le châssis est dit respirant afin de permettre à la lame d'air une relation fluidique avec l'extérieur, c'est à dire par définition avec le milieu ambiant situé du côté du vitrage ou du panneau dit extérieur, tout en évitant une circulation d'air traversant la surface de la lame comprise entre les deux vitrages intérieur et extérieur. En usage, courant, de telles fenêtres ou portes-fenêtres séparent l'intérieur de l'extérieur d'une construction, et la mise en relation fluidique de la lame d'air avec l'extérieur permet essentiellement un équilibre des pressions dans la lame d'air, et d'éviter ou d'atténuer les risques de condensation à l'intérieur de celle-ci. Le vitrage intérieur peut être un double vitrage destiné à une bonne isolation thermique, et le vitrage extérieur peut être un vitrage unique épais destiné à une bonne isolation phonique de la fenêtre ou porte-fenêtre.The prior art teaches such windows, French windows or the like. Generally, this type of window or French window said to breathable frame concerns windows type swinging leaf or tilt-and-turn, and offers multiple possibilities in terms of thermal insulation, sound, or light. For example, in the air gap between said outer glazing and said inner glazing, there may be placed a means of occultation of light, including a blind blade. By the term windows, patio doors or the like is meant all windows or French windows whose opening is mobile functional or whose opening has been permanently fixed in the closed position, and / or whose outside glazing and / or interior has been replaced by an occulting panel. The frame is said to be breathable in order to allow the air space to have a fluid relationship with the outside, ie by definition with the ambient environment situated on the side of the glazing or the so-called exterior panel, while avoiding a circulation of air passing through the surface of the blade between the two inner and outer glazings. In use, current, such windows or patio doors separate the interior of the exterior of a construction, and the fluid connection of the air gap with the outside essentially allows a balance of pressures in the blade of air, and to avoid or mitigate the risk of condensation inside it. The interior glazing may be double glazing for good thermal insulation, and the outer glazing may be a single thick glazing for good sound insulation of the window or French window.

Plus particulièrement, on connaît les documents FR 2 784 709 , DE-A-1 064 231 ou FR 2 784 710 qui décrivent de telles fenêtres à châssis respirant. Ces fenêtres comprennent, selon le document FR 2 784 709 , d'une part dans le cadre de l'ouvrant au moins un passage ou un orifice disposé dans l'intervalle des vitrages extérieur et intérieur pour permettre l'équilibrage de pression entre la zone inter-vitrages et l'extérieur et, d'autre part, dans le dormant, au moins un passage ou orifice qui met ladite zone inter-vitrages suffisamment en communication avec l'extérieur de la fenêtre pour établir cet équilibrage de pression ou circulation d'air. Selon le document FR 2 784 710 , ledit au moins un passage ou orifice aménagé dans le cadre de l'ouvrant débouche dans la zone inter-vitrages et dans une chambre périphérique qui est délimitée par le cadre de l'ouvrant et le dormant, cette chambre périphérique communiquant par des moyens appropriés avec l'ambiance extérieure de la fenêtre.More particularly, the documents are known FR 2 784 709 , DE-A-1 064 231 or FR 2 784 710 which describe such windows with breathable chassis. These windows include, according to the document FR 2 784 709 on the one hand in the context of the opening at least one passage or orifice disposed in the interval of the outer and inner glazing to allow the pressure equalization between the inter glazing area and the outside and, d ' on the other hand, in the frame, at least one passage or orifice which puts said interglazing zone sufficiently in communication with the outside of the window to establish this balancing of pressure or air circulation. According to the document FR 2 784 710 , said at at least one passage or orifice arranged in the frame of the opening opens into the interglazing zone and into a peripheral chamber which is delimited by the frame of the opening and the frame, this peripheral chamber communicating by appropriate means with the outside atmosphere of the window.

Le document DE-A-1 064 231 décrit une fenêtre qui a toutes les caractéristiques du préambule de la revendication 1.The document DE-A-1 064 231 discloses a window which has all the features of the preamble of claim 1.

De telles fenêtres ou portes-fenêtres à châssis respirant présentent l'inconvénient de nécessiter des usinages spécifiques et des étanchéités dans la feuillure entre l'ouvrant et le dormant. En outre, un tel dispositif de châssis respirant présente l'inconvénient d'interagir avec la quincaillerie et les drainages du cadre respirant. Il y a lieu de noter que le cheminement des orifices ou passages de respiration est long et complexe, occasionnant ainsi des pertes de charge devant être compensées par des sections de passage fluidique plus grandes.Such windows or patio doors with breathable chassis have the disadvantage of requiring specific machining and seals in the rabbet between the opening and the frame. In addition, such a breathable frame device has the disadvantage of interacting with the hardware and drainages of the breathing frame. It should be noted that the path of the orifices or breathing passages is long and complex, thus causing losses to be compensated by larger fluid flow sections.

La présente invention vise à pallier ces inconvénients et à apporter d'autres avantages. Plus précisément, elle consiste en une fenêtre, porte-fenêtre, ou analogue, dite à châssis respirant, telle que définie par la revendication 1.The present invention aims to overcome these disadvantages and to provide other advantages. More specifically, it consists of a window, French window, or the like, referred to as a breathable frame, as defined by claim 1.

L'établissement d'une respiration directe à travers l'ouvrant, permet d'éviter d'avoir à travailler ou usiner le dormant, et permet de simplifier le dispositif de respiration en le rendant plus direct. La fenêtre selon l'invention présente en outre l'avantage de ne pas nécessiter de correspondance, donc d'ajustement pour le dispositif de respiration, entre l'ouvrant et le dormant. La fenêtre selon l'invention fournit une respiration la plus à l'extérieur possible du fait d'un passage à travers l'ouvrant entre la lame et l'extérieur. La fenêtre selon l'invention permet d'éviter tout usinage du dormant relativement au dispositif de respiration, d'où une simplification de fabrication et ainsi notamment un gain de temps de fabrication et une diminution des risques de malfaçon. La fenêtre selon l'invention présente l'avantage de ne nécessiter aucune étanchéité entre l'ouvrant et le dormant, ni aucun usinage ni aucune étanchéité dans la feuillure entre l'ouvrant et le dormant. L'invention permet de minimiser le ou les passages de respiration du fait d'un trajet très court à travers l'épaisseur du vitrage. Par ailleurs, une telle configuration des passages de respiration permet de n'avoir aucune incidence sur le cadre de l'ouvrant. Le vitrage étant généralement fabriqué sur mesure, il serait dans ce cas livré avec les passages fluidiques. La fabrication du châssis est simplifié puisque les passages de respiration sont réalisés dans le vitrage et la ou les parcloses.The establishment of a direct breathing through the opening, avoids having to work or machine the frame, and simplifies the breathing device by making it more direct. The window according to the invention also has the advantage of not requiring correspondence, and therefore adjustment for the breathing device, between the opening and the frame. The window according to the invention provides the outermost breathing possible due to a passage through the opening between the blade and the outside. The window according to the invention avoids any machining of the frame relative to the breathing device, resulting in a simplification of manufacture and thus in particular a saving in manufacturing time and a reduction in the risk of defects. The window according to the invention has the advantage of not requiring any seal between the opening and the frame, nor any machining or sealing in the rabbet between the opening and the frame. The invention minimizes the passage (s) of breathing due to a very short path through the thickness of the glazing. Moreover, such a configuration of the breathing passages makes it possible to have no impact on the frame of the opening. The glazing is generally made to measure, it would in this case be delivered with the fluidic passages. The manufacture of the frame is simplified since the breathing passages are made in the glazing and the or beadings.

  • at least one fluid passage 320, one end 321 of which opens on a surface of the first frame in contact with the outside 307, and the other end 322 of which opens into the air space 304,
  • said at least one fluid passage 320 being formed in the outer glazing 302, and intercepting an edge 341 thereof,
  • the outer glazing 302 being fixed through a baffle 342 having at least one fluid passage therethrough.

Comme pour la figure 1, le cadre 301 du dormant 316 comprend de manière connue un profilé intérieur 328 et un profilé extérieur 315 à rupture de pont thermique fixé au profilé intérieur 328, comme représenté sur la figure 2.As for the figure 1 , the frame 301 of the frame 316 comprises, in known manner, an inner profile 328 and an outer profile 315 with a thermal break fastened to the inner profile 328, as shown in FIG. figure 2 .

Comme représenté sur la figure 2, la feuillure extérieure 326 du profilé périphérique 315 du premier cadre 301, et le vitrage extérieur 302 sont avantageusement alignés dans un même plan formant la surface extérieure de l'ouvrant. Une telle configuration permet de maintenir une esthétique selon les besoins, recherchée de planéité des façades. On remarque sur la figure 2 que, lorsque le dormant 305 comporte une battée externe sur laquelle vient s'appuyer l'ouvrant 316 lorsqu'il est fermé, plus particulièrement la parclose 342 et le profilé périphérique 315 le cas échéant, les passages fluidiques 320 tels que décrits à travers la parclose 342 et le vitrage 302 permettent d'assurer une quasi-continuité de la planéité de la surface extérieure de la fenêtre entre la battée du dormant et le vitrage extérieur.As shown on the figure 2 , the outer rabbet 326 of the peripheral profile 315 of the first frame 301, and the outer glazing 302 are advantageously aligned in a same plane forming the outer surface of the opening. Such a configuration allows to maintain an aesthetic as needed, sought flatness of the facades. We notice on the figure 2 that when the frame 305 comprises an outer flap on which the leaf 316 when it is closed, more particularly the glazing bead 342 and the peripheral profile 315, as the case may be, the fluid passages 320 as described through FIG. bead 342 and glazing 302 provide a quasi-continuity of the flatness of the outer surface of the window between the beating of the frame and the outer glazing.

Les profilés constitutifs du dormant 305, intérieur et extérieur, sont généralement en alliage métallique ou en matériaux plastiques, séparés par des barrettes à rupture de pont thermique, et les profilés constitutifs de l'ouvrant 316, intérieur 328 et extérieur 315, peuvent être respectivement métallique et en matière plastique, afin d'obtenir des profilés à rupture de pont thermique pour le dormant et pour l'ouvrant. La parclose 342 peut être réalisée en matériau métallique ou en matière plastique.The constituent profiles of the frame 305, inside and outside, are generally made of metal alloy or plastic materials, separated by bars with thermal break, and the constituent sections of the opening 316, interior 328 and outer 315, can be respectively metal and plastic, in order to obtain thermal break profiles for the frame and the opening. The bead 342 may be made of metal material or plastic.

Il sera noté qu'avec un tel dispositif, la fonction respiration est rendue indépendante du cadre porteur de l'ouvrant comprenant le profilé à rupture de pont thermique 315 et le profilé intérieur par exemple métallique 328, du dormant 305, du profilé d'étanchéité périphérique 313. La respiration de la lame d'air 304 est assurée que l'ouvrant 316 soit en position ouverte ou en position de fermeture sur le dormant 305.It will be noted that with such a device, the breathing function is made independent of the door frame of the opening comprising the thermal break profile 315 and the inner profile for example metal 328, the frame 305, the sealing profile 313. The breathing of the air knife 304 is ensured that the opening 316 is in the open position or in the closed position on the frame 305.

Comme représenté sur la figure 2, un passage fluidique 320 comporte avantageusement des moyens de filtre 333 anti-poussières qui sont disposés en travers du passage fluidique 320, de préférence contre l'ouverture 322, comme représenté sur la figure 2. Le filtre 333 peut avantageusement être un filtre filant, notamment de type filtre inox mécano connu, qui permet non seulement d'arrêter les poussières mais également et plus largement les insectes afin que tous ces objets ne pénètrent pas dans la lame d'air 304. Le filtre ainsi placé peut être remplacé si nécessaire sans démontage des remplissages. L'étanchéité principale du cadre de l'ouvrant n'est ainsi pas remise en cause lors de cette opération de maintenance.As shown on the figure 2 a fluid passage 320 advantageously comprises dust filter means 333 which are arranged across the fluid passage 320, preferably against the opening 322, as shown in FIG. figure 2 . The filter 333 may advantageously be a spin filter, in particular of the type known mechanical stainless steel filter, which allows not only to stop dust but also and more widely insects so that all these objects do not enter the air gap 304. The filter thus placed can be replaced if necessary without disassembly of the fills . The main seal of the frame of the opening is thus not questioned during this maintenance operation.

Il est à noter que la fenêtre selon la figure 2, peut comporter, ou pas, une étanchéité (non représentée) entre la parclose 342 de fixation du vitrage extérieur 302 et le dormant 305, ce dernier pouvant comporter de manière appropriée et connue des trous 335 d'évacuation d'eau si nécessaire, comme représenté sur la figure 2. Sur la figure 2, aucune étanchéité entre la parclose 342 de fixation du vitrage extérieur 302 et le dormant 305 n'est représenté.It should be noted that the window according to figure 2 , may or may not comprise a seal (not shown) between the glazing bead 342 for fixing the outer glazing 302 and the frame 305, the latter possibly including, in a suitable and known manner, holes 335 for discharging water if necessary, such as represented on the figure 2 . On the figure 2 no sealing between the glazing bead 342 of the outer glazing 302 and the frame 305 is shown.

Le joint d'étanchéité 313 permet en outre d'assurer l'étanchéité entre la lame d'air 304 et la surface interne du vitrage extérieur 302 en vis à vis de la lame d'air 304.The seal 313 further allows sealing between the air gap 304 and the inner surface of the outer glazing 302 facing the air gap 304.

Les passages fluidiques 320 peuvent avantageusement être assurés directement par des ouvertures traversantes réalisées dans l'épaisseur du vitrage extérieur 302, qui peuvent prendre la forme d'entailles dont les dimensions sont déterminées selon les besoins en fonction du volume de la lame d'air 304. Le vitrage extérieur 302 est trempé. Les passages fluidiques 320 sont de préférence disposés sur la partie inférieure du vitrage débouchant dans le fond de la lame d'air 304, comme représenté sur la figure 2. Les passages fluidiques 320 comportent de préférence une ouverture 322 sur la face intérieure du vitrage extérieur 302, débouchant dans la face verticale de la lame d'air, et une ouverture 321 dirigée vers le bas afin d'éviter toute pénétration d'eau dans la lame d'air : à cet effet, les ouvertures traversantes dans le vitrage 302 pourront avantageusement être équipées de bouches protectrices 340, fixées dans les ouvertures du vitrage, et permettant avantageusement d'orienter l'ouverture 321 vers le bas et en outre de fixer à l'intérieur de celles-ci le filtre anti-poussières et anti-insectes 333, par exemple tel que décrit plus haut, comme représenté sur la figure 2. La fixation des bouches 340 peut par exemple être assurée par clipage. Les passages fluidiques 320 dans le vitrage extérieur 302 peuvent adopter respectivement la forme de lumières oblongues en quantité déterminée selon les besoins en vue de permettre la respiration de la lame d'air.The fluid passages 320 can advantageously be provided directly through through openings made in the thickness of the outer glazing 302, which may take the form of notches whose dimensions are determined according to the needs as a function of the volume of the air gap 304 The outer glazing 302 is quenched. The fluid passages 320 are preferably arranged on the lower part of the glazing opening into the bottom of the air gap 304, as shown in FIG. figure 2 . The fluidic passages 320 preferably comprise an opening 322 on the inner face of the outer glazing 302, opening into the vertical face of the air gap, and an opening 321 directed downwards in order to prevent any penetration of water into the air gap: for this purpose, the through openings in the glazing 302 may advantageously be equipped with protective vents 340, fixed in the openings of the glazing, and advantageously to orient the opening 321 downwards and further to fix inside thereof the anti-dust and anti-insect filter 333, for example as described above, as shown in FIG. figure 2 . Fixing the mouths 340 may for example be provided by clipping. The fluid passages 320 in the outer glazing 302 may respectively take the form of oblong slots in a quantity determined according to the needs to allow breathing of the air space.

Les bouches 340 seront par exemple identiques pour un même ouvrant, au nombre de une par passage fluidique 320. Une bouche 340 sera de préférence tubulaire, de forme cylindrique à section circulaire, ou légèrement conique, pouvant comporter une butée 350 en translation du côté de la lame d'air 304 afin d'être bloquée sur la surface intérieure du vitrage extérieur 302, comme représenté sur la figure 2, et pouvant en outre comporter des moyens 351 de clipage sur la parclose 342 également comme représenté sur la figure 2. Une bouche 340 sera avantageusement maintenue en position sur la parclose 342 dans laquelle elle s'insère dans un trou réalisé dans celle-ci correspondant à la section de la bouche 340 afin d'obtenir une esthétique appropriée et une position déterminée de la sortie de la bouche 40 sur la façade extérieure. Du côté de la lame d'air 304, la bouche 340 sera avantageusement maintenue par la butée 350 permettant une sécurité de maintien de la bouche 340 dans le passage fluidique 320. L'inclinaison appropriée de la bouche 340 dans le plan vertical, définie en fonction de la position de sortie 321 de la bouche et de la position de l'entrée 322 de la bouche dans la lame d'air 304 sera rendue possible par la lumière oblongue réalisée dans le vitrage 302 permettant des positions multiples d'inclinaison de la bouche 340 dans le plan vertical. La longueur d'une bouche 340 dépend de l'épaisseur du vitrage extérieur 302, et sera de préférence déterminée en sorte d'être supérieure à l'épaisseur du vitrage 302, additionnée de l'épaisseur de la parclose 342 de fixation de celui-ci. Les bouches 340 pourront avantageusement être mises en place dans chacun des passages fluidiques 320 formés dans le vitrage 302 et la parclose 342, après le montage du vitrage 302 dans sa feuillure 326 et la mise en place de la parclose 342. Les bouches 340 pourront être réalisées en matière plastique, de préférence déformable, en sorte que la butée 350 puisse disposer d'une certaine déformation élastique visant à permettre son franchissement au delà de la lumière de passage du vitrage extérieur 302 et son retour en position d'arrêt après franchissement. Les moyens de clipage 351 pourront également avantageusement fonctionner en utilisant l'élasticité du matériau constitutif de la bouche 340.The mouths 340 will for example be identical for the same opening, one of them per fluid passage 320. A mouth 340 will preferably be tubular, of cylindrical shape with a circular cross section, or slightly conical, which may comprise a stop 350 in translation on the side of the air gap 304 to be locked on the inner surface of the outer glazing 302, as shown in FIG. figure 2 , and may further comprise means 351 clipping on the bead 342 also as shown in the figure 2 . A mouth 340 will advantageously be held in position on the bead 342 in which it fits into a hole made therein corresponding to the section of the mouth 340 in order to obtain a suitable aesthetic and a determined position of the outlet of the 40 mouth on the exterior facade. On the side of the air gap 304, the mouth 340 is advantageously held by the stop 350 allowing a security of maintaining the mouth 340 in the fluid passage 320. The appropriate inclination of the mouth 340 in the vertical plane, defined according to the outlet position 321 of the mouth and the position of the inlet 322 of the mouth in the air gap 304 will be made possible by the oblong light made in the glazing 302 allowing multiple positions of inclination of the mouth 340 in the vertical plane. The length of a mouth 340 depends on the thickness of the outer glazing 302, and will preferably be determined so as to be greater than the thickness of the glazing 302, plus the thickness of the glazing bead 342 thereof. this. The mouths 340 may advantageously be placed in each of the fluid passages 320 formed in the glazing 302 and the baffle 342, after mounting the glazing 302 in its rabbet 326 and the installation of the bead 342. The mouths 340 may be made of plastic material, preferably deformable, so that the stop 350 may have a certain elastic deformation to allow its crossing beyond the passage of the outer glazing 302 and its return to stop position after crossing. The clipping means 351 may also advantageously operate using the elasticity of the material constituting the mouth 340.

Comme représenté sur la figure 2, et décrit ci-dessus, les passages fluidiques 320 formés dans le vitrage extérieur 302 de l'ouvrant 316, interceptent un bord 341 du vitrage extérieur 302, le bord inférieur du vitrage sur la figure 5, de manière préférentielle.As shown on the figure 2 , and described above, the fluid passages 320 formed in the outer glazing 302 of the leaf 316, intercept an edge 341 of the outer glazing 302, the lower edge of the glazing in Figure 5, preferably.

Les différences essentielles entre l'exemple selon l'invention représenté sur la figure 2 et l'exemple de l'art antérieur de la figure 1 résident :

  • en l'absence de tout passage ou conduit de respiration de la lame d'air 304 traversant le dormant 305, ainsi que l'espace 325 compris entre le dormant 305 et l'ouvrant 316,
  • en l'absence avantageuse de tout passage ou conduit de respiration de la lame d'air 304 traversant le profilé 315 à rupture de pont thermique du cadre 301 de l'ouvrant 316,
  • en la présence avantageuse d'une pluralité de passages fluidiques 320 formés dans le vitrage extérieur 302 de l'ouvrant 316, selon un moyen essentiel de l'invention,
  • en la présence d'une pluralité de passages fluidiques 320 traversant la parclose 342 de fixation du vitrage extérieur 302 dans la feuillure extérieure 326 du profilé 315 du cadre 301 de l'ouvrant, en correspondance avec la pluralité de passages fluidiques 320 formés dans le vitrage extérieur 302, comme représenté sur la figure 2, selon un moyen essentiel de l'invention.
The essential differences between the example according to the invention represented on the figure 2 and the example of the prior art of the figure 1 resident:
  • in the absence of any passage or breathing duct of the air gap 304 passing through the frame 305, and the space 325 between the frame 305 and the sash 316,
  • in the advantageous absence of any passage or breathing duct of the air knife 304 passing through the section 315 thermal break of the frame 301 of the leaf 316,
  • in the advantageous presence of a plurality of fluid passages 320 formed in the outer glazing 302 of the sash 316, according to an essential means of the invention,
  • in the presence of a plurality of fluid passages 320 passing through the baffle 342 for fixing the outer glazing 302 in the outer rebate 326 of the profile 315 of the frame 301 of the opening, in correspondence with the plurality of fluid passages 320 formed in the glazing unit outside 302, as shown on the figure 2 according to an essential means of the invention.

Comme représenté sur la figure 2, les passages fluidiques 320 pour la respiration de la lame d'air 304 débouchent avantageusement précisément dans l'angle inférieur de la lame, au niveau du fond de celle-ci, en sorte qu'une partie de l'entrée 322 de la bouche protectrice 340, définissant l'entrée du passage fluidique 320, est alignée avec la surface du fond de la lame 304. Les passages fluidiques 320 comportent avantageusement une inclinaison vers le bas, donnée par une inclinaison de chaque bouche 340, rendue aisée par la forme de lumière verticale allongée de l'ouverture traversant le vitrage 302 et débouchant sur le bord de celui-ci, comme illustrée sur la figure 2. Ainsi, vue de l'extérieur, les orifices de respiration sont situés le plus bas possible tout en étant au dessus du montant 305, c'est à dire au dessus de la battée du dormant 305, lorsque l'ouvrant est en position de fermeture sur le dormant.As shown on the figure 2 , the fluid passages 320 for breathing the air knife 304 advantageously open precisely in the lower angle of the blade, at the bottom thereof, so that a portion of the inlet 322 of the mouth protector 340, defining the inlet of the fluid passage 320, is aligned with the bottom surface of the blade 304. The fluid passages 320 advantageously comprise a downward inclination, given by an inclination of each mouth 340, made easy by the elongated vertical light form of the opening through the glazing 302 and opening on the edge thereof, as illustrated on the figure 2 . Thus, viewed from the outside, the breathing orifices are located as low as possible while being above the upright 305, that is to say above the flap of the frame 305, when the door is in the closed position. on the frame.

L'invention s'applique à toute fenêtre, porte-fenêtre, ou analogue dit à châssis respirant.The invention applies to any window, French window, or the like said to breathable frame.
