Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a sealing device particularly for casements and the like.
  • the gaskets to be used for casements with extruded aluminum profiled elements are different from those to be used for casements with thermal insulation, since the coupling regions of the gaskets on the casements are modified.
  • the gaskets can be stiffened only in the region where they couple to the profiled elements, since the amount of material, generally rubber or similar plastic material, which forms the coupling tangs is increased; however, such gaskets generally have the drawback that they are easily subject to deformations, once they have been installed on the casement, so that poorly sealed regions unavoidably form on the casement.
  • Another drawback is furthermore constituted by the fact that spacer bars made of insulating plastic material are used, especially with thermally insulating profiled elements, and unavoidably widen the gasket coupling region, with consequent connection problems and difficulty in producing a correct abutment region for said gasket.
  • NL-A-8 801 999 discloses a sealing device including a combination of features as recited in the preamble of the appended claim 1.
  • the present invention renders the use of such a sealing device in combination with a gasket in the form of a sealing profiled element more variable.
  • a particular embodiment of the invention is directed to a sealing device which allows to significantly improve the coupling in the corner regions, consequently improving the seal, since it is possible to form a complete joint for said gasket.
  • Another embodiment of the present invention is directed to a sealing device wherein the particular structure of the gasket allows to insert said gasket directly on the aluminum profiled elements or bars prior to bar cutting, thus simultaneously cutting the bar and the gasket, with consequent improved manufacturing precision.
  • Another embodiment of the present invention is directed to a sealing device which allows to configure the sealing gaskets so as to avoid subjecting them to deformations and furthermore allows, in the case of thermally insulating casements, to make the gasket act on a part made of thermally insulating material instead of on the metal part, as instead currently occurs.
  • the sealing device particularly for casements and the like, according to the invention, comprises a sealing profiled element, generally designated by the reference numeral 1, which has a body constituted by a coupling region, generally designated by the reference numeral 2, made of semirigid material.
  • the coupling region 2 is provided with two arms 2a and 2b which merge toward the free end and are connected to the coupling end by means of a bridge 3.
  • An internal cavity 5 is formed inside the coupling body 2 in order to allow the insertion of L-shaped elements 6 for joining the sealing profiled elements at the corner regions of the casement.
  • the coupling portion at its free end, is rigidly associated with an end portion 10 which is made of relatively soft material and preferably but not necessarily is shaped so that its end flap 11 is folded with respect to the connecting portion 12, which is rigidly associated with respect to the coupling body 2.
  • the end flap 11 is directed toward the gasket coupling body and is connected to the connecting portion 12 by means of a raised portion 13 which in practice allows to increase the sealing surface in order to produce optimum coupling to the facing profiled element.
  • a different embodiment is provided for and entails the adoption of a stiffening cross-member 15 arranged in the cavity 5 and mutually joining the two oppositely arranged arms 2a and 2b.
  • FIG 7 there is a sealing profiled element, generally designated by the reference numeral 16, wherein the two arms, again designated by the reference numerals 2a and 2b, are not mutually joined by the bridge 3 at the coupling region, thus allowing elastic contraction of one arm with respect to the other for insertion into the cavity from the front.
  • the sealing device according to the invention is designed so that it is possible to use the same sealing profiled element both for thermally insulating casements and for casements with no thermal insulation.
  • the bars which join the two portions 20a and 20b of a profiled element with thermal insulation, generally designated by the reference numeral 20, are formed so that one bar 22 is of a conventional type and is connected to the related parts of the profiled element, whereas the other bar 23 has, on one of its faces, a tab 24 which protrudes laterally with respect to the body of the bar 23 and ends with a tooth 25 extending parallel to the extension of the body of the bar 23.
  • Said tab 24 performs a double function, as more clearly shown in figure 5.
  • the back or extrados of the tab 24 acts as an abutment edge for said gasket 1, so that in the forming of the so-called "open joint” the gasket couples directly, forming a seal, on a thermally insulating material; furthermore, the tooth 25 arranged at the free end of the tab 24 has the purpose of forming, directly on the profiled element, a seat 30 for the connection of the gasket.
  • the same sealing profiled element is usable both for casements without thermal insulation and for casements with thermal insulation.
  • the sealing device described above which is based on the use of a particular shape of a bar made of thermally insulating material in the manufacture of profiled elements with thermal insulation and cooperates with a gasket shaped so that it is substantially rigid in the coupling region and soft in the sealing region, allows to optimize the seals.
  • the sealing profiled element designed so that it is substantially rigid, allows to absolutely avoid any deformation of the gasket and furthermore, in combination with the above described bar, is usable indifferently on profiled elements with thermal insulation and on profiled elements without thermal insulation.
  • the materials employed, as well as the contingent shapes and dimensions may be any according to the requirements.
