Abstract
Description
- This invention relates to a carriage for sliding doors and windows, in particular forming part of a carriage unit for doors and windows of the type known in the jargon of the trade as "lift and slide".
- These doors and windows normally comprise:
- a fixed frame;
- at least one mobile frame, or sash, that slides horizontally relative to the fixed frame between an open position and a closed position;
- at least one sliding unit, or carriage unit, associated with the bottom horizontal member of the sash and resting on a horizontal base track to enable the sash to slide in both directions to and from the open and closed positions;
- a control handle mounted on the sash and enabling the sash firstly to be lifted so as to move the sides of the track away from the weather-strips at the bottom of the sash to allow the latter to slide to and from the open and closed positions, and secondly to be lowered when it reaches the closed position so that the strips create a substantially weather-tight seal;
- locking/unlocking means acting between the vertical member of the sash and the fixed frame to lock/unlock the sash in the closed position under the action of the handle.
- This specification focuses on the carriage unit which, in most of the constructional solutions currently available on the market, comprises a pair of carriages (main and secondary) so that the weight of the sliding sash can be distributed uniformly.
- Usually, each carriage comprises: a box-shaped frame that supports at its ends a pair of wheels designed to run on the track; and a connecting member interposed between the box-shaped frame and the bottom of the sliding sash to enable the sash to be lifted and lowered relative to the box-shaped frame.
- In particular, in a prior art structure (some embodiments of which are described in publications
DE 7816563U ,EP 1.298.271 ,EP 1.298.272 andEP 1.437.471 ), the connecting member is, on one side, connected to the bottom of the sash and, on the other, connected to the box-shaped frame by a coupling between a pin and an inclined slot (applied to, and formed in, the box-shaped frame and connecting member, or vice versa, depending on the solution adopted). - The movement of the connecting member (and of the sash) relative to the box-shaped frame of the carriage is imparted by the above mentioned control handle through a drive system which changes the relative position between the pin and the inclined slot.
- One of the problems that may be encountered in lift and slide doors and windows of this type is the imprecise alignment between the vertical member of the fixed frame and the vertical member of the mobile sash after assembly.
- This shortcoming, felt particularly strongly in very tall doors and windows, results in visible slanting of the mobile sash relative to the fixed frame when the door or window is closed.
- This defect may be caused by imprecise cutting and/or assembling of the profiles of the mobile sash (or to incorrect compensation of the glazing mounted) tending, however slight the imprecision, to give the sash the shape of a "rhombus" rather than that of a "rectangle", or by a defect or imperfection in the straightness ("levelness") of the brickwork supporting the fixed bottom horizontal frame member; thus, by following incorrect shape (for example, a slight sag), the latter can lead to misalignment between the fixed frame and the sash.
- At present, to correct this defect, in the first situation and in the worst of cases, it is necessary to reassemble the sash altogether, whilst in the second situation, the horizontal alignment of the bottom horizontal member (the one with the tracks on it) mist be corrected using shims or plugs to make the vertical members of the fixed and mobile frames exactly vertical and parallel with each other again.
- This alignment operation must be carried out by an installer with considerable skill and experience and even then, is highly time consuming. In some cases, the mobile sash must be removed and re-installed (before and after adjustment) and this is not always an easy task.
- This invention therefore has for aim to overcome these drawbacks by providing a carriage for lift and slide sliding doors/windows that is quick and easy to adjust in order to align the position of the mobile sash relative to the fixed frame.
- According to the invention, the above aim is achieved by a carriage for sliding doors/windows, in particular doors/windows of the lift and slide type, comprising the characteristics as defined in
claim 1. - The technical features of the invention, with reference to the above aims, are clearly described in the claims below and its advantages are more apparent from the detailed description which follows, with reference to the accompanying drawings which illustrate a preferred non-limiting example embodiment of the invention, and in which:
-
Figure 1 is a schematic side view of a sliding door/window equipped with the carriage according to the invention; -
Figure 2 illustrates a scaled-up detail A of the door/window ofFigure 1 , with some parts in cross section; -
Figures 3 and 4 are side views illustrating a carriage, with reference toFigure 2 , in two different operating configurations; -
Figure 5 is an exploded, perspective view of the carriage ofFigures 3 and 4 ; -
Figure 6 is a cross section through line VI - VI ofFigure 4 . - With reference to the accompanying drawings, in particular
Figures 1 and2 , the carriage according to the invention, labelled 1 in its entirety, can be used on sliding doors/windows of the "lift and slide" type. - These doors/
windows 1 basically comprise: afixed frame 2; at least onemobile sash 3; one or twocarriages control member 12. - More specifically, the
sash 3 is slidable relative to thefixed frame 2 between a closed position (seeFigure 1 ) and an open position (not illustrated). - More in detail, the
sash 3 is slidable horizontally on afixed track 7 positioned at the base of thefixed frame 3 and, in its fully open position (not illustrates), can (purely by way of an example) be superposed over afixed sash 101. - The accompanying drawings illustrate a pair of
carriages horizontal member 6 of thesash 3 and runs in theguide track 7 to enable thesash 3 to move to and from the open and closed positions. - Hereinafter, the
carriage 4 is referred to as the "main carriage", being located, relative to the closing direction F2 of thesash 3, in front of theother carriage 5 which, instead, is referred as the "secondary carriage" connected in series with themain carriage 4. - As already stated, the door/
window 1 comprises acontrol member 12, that is to say, a handle, mounted on thesash 3, firstly enabling: - the
sash 3 to be lifted so as to move the sides of thetrack 7 away from the weather-strips at the bottom of thesash 3 to allow the latter to slide to and from the open and closed positions (see arrow F1); and - secondly enabling the
sash 3 to be lowered when it reaches the closed position so that the weather strips seal the door/window 1 in weather-tight manner (see arrow F2). - Looking more closely at the constructional details, each of the
carriages frame 8 for mounting a pair ofwheels frame 8, and amember 11 for connecting theframe 8 to the bottomhorizontal member 6. - The connecting
member 11 is movably connected to theframe 8 in such a way as to enable thesash 3 to be lifted and lowered relative to themounting frame 8. - More specifically, (see also
Figures 3 to 6 ) the connectingmember 11 is interposed between theframe 8 and thehorizontal member 6 of thesash 3 and comprises a substantially rectangularupper plate 11a coupled to agroove 6a in the underside of the horizontal member 6 (illustrated schematically inFigures 2 ,3 and 4 ). - Each
carriage member 11 and theframe 8 and being in particular in the form of a helical spring M, designed to facilitate the lifting of the sash 3 (not described in detail here since it does not strictly fall within the scope of this invention). - From a middle portion of the
plate 11 a there extends abottom protrusion 11b of the connectingmember 11 by which the latter is movably constrained to a central portion of theframe 8. - More specifically, the
protrusion 11b has an elongated slot-like housing 20 that is inclined in such a way that its lower end is in front of the upper end in the above mentionedsash 3 closing direction F2. - As will become clearer as this description continues, the
slot 20 is engaged by apin 19 through a pair ofbushes 26. - Between the
main carriage 4 and thehandle 12 there is an interposedtransmission system 13 enabling thehandle 12 to be used to lift and lower thesash 3 relative to the mounting frame 8 (this system is not illustrated in detail since it does not strictly fall within the scope of this invention). - Besides the above, one or both the
carriages means 14 for adjusting the distance D of themobile sash 3 relative to thetrack 7. - As illustrated clearly in
Figures 3 to 6 , the adjustment means 14 comprise: - a pair of
grooves 15 located on both sides of the outer longitudinal surfaces of themounting frame 8, eachgroove 15 being provided with a respective first throughslot 16 extending vertically in the vicinity of the area engaged by the connectingmember 11; - an
adjustment slider 17, slidably positioned in the pair ofgrooves 15 and having second throughslots 18 extending in an inclined direction; - the above mentioned
pin 19 for locking theslider 17 to theframe 8, passing through the first andsecond slots like housing 20 made in thebottom protrusion 11b of the connectingmember 11 in such a way as to hold the connectingmember 11 to theframe 8; - movement means 21 acting between the
slider 17 and theframe 8 and designed to enable the latter to move in both directions in such a way as to lower or lift thepin 19 and thereby varying the position of the connectingmember 11 relative to the frame 8 (see arrows F21,Figures 3 and 4 ). - Preferably but without limiting the scope of the invention, the distance D of the
mobile sash 3 relative to thetrack 7 can be adjusted when thesash 3 is either in the raised or in the lowered position: this facilitates better alignment of thesash 3 relative to thefixed frame 2 in the closed position. - In the embodiment illustrated, the adjustment means 14 are located on the
secondary carriage 5. - Obviously, the first and
second slots pin 19. - Looking more closely at the details, the
first slots 16 in the pair ofgrooves 15 in theframe 8 extend vertically, that is to say, perpendicularly to the longitudinal extension of thegrooves 15. - In other terms, the
first slots 16 delimit the vertical stroke of thepin 19, with two, upper and lower, end positions for adjustment of the connecting member 11 (the end positions are shown inFigures 3 and 4 ). - The above mentioned
slider 17 comprises twobranches longitudinal grooves 15, and ahead 22 joining the twobranches front end 8a of theframe 8. - The movement means 21 are positioned between the
head 22 and thefront end 8a in such a way as to enable the pair ofbranches Figures 3 and 4 ), thereby moving thehead 22 towards and away from thefront end 8a. - The
second slots 18 in the pair ofbranches head 22 moves to and fro, produce a pushing or pulling action on thelocking pin 19, which is guided vertically along thefirst slots 16 in such a way as to vary the initial position of the connectingmember 11. - The adjustment means comprise a
screw 21 passing through afirst hole 23 in the connectinghead 22 and rotatably connected and retained by alock nut 24 in a second throughhole 25 made in thefront end 8a of theframe 8. - The
screw 21 can then be driven from the outside of theslider 17 in such a way as to move the connectinghead 22 towards or away from thefront end 8a of theframe 8, depending on the rotation direction, so as to vary the position of the connectingmember 11. - In other terms, with one or
more carriages sash 3 can, when necessary, be aligned with thefixed frame 2. - Once the
sash 3 has been mounted on thetrack 7, the installer can, if necessary, proceed to aligning it using a suitable spanner (for example an Allen key) to turn thescrew 21 in order to lift or lower the connecting member 11 (and hence the sash 3) relative to thetrack 7 according to the position of thesash 3 with respect to thefixed frame 2. - Thus, as mentioned above, the sliding movement of the
slider 17 causes thesecond slots 18 to lift or lower thepin 19, thereby moving the connectingmember 11 which in turn drives or lifts the bottomhorizontal member 6 of thesash 3. - A carriage made in this way thus achieves the above mentioned aims thanks to the presence of a simple, yet very effective adjustment system that does not require corrective action to be taken directly on the door/window frames.
- The adjustment means are made in such a way that the basic structure of the carriages can be maintained. The basic parts, and hence the quality and effectiveness of the carriages thus remains unchanged.
- The invention described above is susceptible of industrial application and may be modified and adapted in several ways without thereby departing from the scope of the appended claims.
