Definitions

  • the aligning bracket in question is advantageously intended to be used in the sector for the production of frames, such as door and window fixtures, in order to connect together the sections.
  • the invention falls generally within the industrial sector relating to the production of frames and in particular the sector relating to the production of accessories for fixtures.
  • a frame whether it be made of metal or PVC, generally consists of several sections which are fixed together in pairs at the ends in the region of the vertices by means of suitable connection means.
  • the latter consist of generally L-shaped angular parts which are made of metal or plastic and are usually known by the name of "tightening brackets" or “force-fitting brackets”.
  • the alignment means ensure restoration of the continuity between the surfaces of the sections to be joined together angularly.
  • the abovementioned aligning brackets are inserted into longitudinal seats where they are fixed using fixing means, such as screws or bolts, or, more recently, by means of locking cam parts which are pivotably mounted on the arms of the brackets.
  • each of these cam parts is able to pass from a release position, where it is retracted inside the contour of the arm in order to allow insertion of the latter inside the section, into a locking position, where it is rotated so as to engage with its projecting cam portion against the section so as to pull the latter towards the joining cross-section and fix it in the desired position adjacent to the other section.
  • the aligning bracket described in the patent EP 1048816 has the drawback that the force exerted by the tongues on the sections is transmitted onto the bracket via the pin and therefore onto a plane which is different from that where gripping against the section occurs, resulting in a moment which may cause extraction of the cam part from its seat in the bracket.
  • a further drawback of this known bracket consists in the fact that the locking position of the cam is ensured only by the engagement of the teeth provided on the edge of the tongue against the section. Between the pin and the seat where the force transmitted by the tongue is applied there are in fact no fastening means for preventing the cam from moving backwards and releasing the section.
  • a further object of the present invention is to provide an aligning bracket which is simple and inexpensive to produce.
  • bracket 1 denotes the aligning bracket for joining together sections according to the invention.
  • This bracket 1 is intended, in particular, for the assembly of frames for thermal break fixtures, but may also be used as a force-fitting bracket during the assembly of frames of any type, form and size and in particular for cold section fixtures, on its own or in addition to other brackets also of the conventional tightening type.
  • Each thermal break section is composed of a main portion, intended to form the outer surround of the fixture, and a secondary portion, intended to form the inner surround.
  • the two portions are connected together by a further heat-insulating portion.
  • the aligning bracket 1 according to the invention is mounted, in the non-limiting example of a thermal break frame, in the zone where the secondary portions of a first and second section I and II are joined together with the aim of moving together the two sections and keeping them in a coplanar relationship.
  • the actual structural connection between the two sections I and II is performed in the region of their main portions by means of an ordinary force-fitting bracket (not shown).
  • the aligning bracket 1 is associated with the two sections I and II at the same time as the abovementioned force-fitting bracket during assembly of the frame.
  • Each section I and II is provided with a special longitudinal seat S formed in the abovementioned inner portion.
  • Said seat extends longitudinally along the entire length of the section I and II and is bounded by two parallel facing edges, one of which, indicated by B2, is situated closer to the inner edge of the section than the other one indicated by B1.
  • the aligning bracket 1 is formed mainly by an angle piece 2 in the form of a flat plate, preferably made of aluminium alloy or, where appropriate, steel, having two mutually perpendicular arms 3a and 3b forming an L-shaped section.
  • the two arms are intended to be inserted inside the seats S of the first and second section I and II, respectively. This insertion is performed with the sections separated, by means a direct translatory sliding movement longitudinally with respect to the individual section I, II.
  • the abovementioned means are formed as a locking piece 4 mounted in a seat 5 provided on each arm 3a, 3b and able to move between a release position A, where it does not intercept the section, leaving the arm 3a, 3b free to slide inside the longitudinal seat S, and a locking position B, where it acts against the section I, II, forcing it to be joined to the other section.
  • the pin portion 7 is able to slide in a guided manner inside a track 11 provided in the bottom 12 of the seat 5 of the corresponding arm 3a, 3b of the angle piece 2.
  • the locking piece 4 is preferably mushroom-shaped, with the cap which defines the head portion 6 and the stem which defines the pin portion 7.
  • the retaining surface 8 and the sliding surface 10 of the head portion 6 are divided in mirror-image fashion by the axis of symmetry, allowing the locking piece to have an identical functional capacity in the two directions of rotary/translatory movement corresponding to mounting on the right-hand or left-hand arm of the angle piece 2.
  • the pin portion 7 has the shape substantially of a cylinder fixed on the axis of symmetry X below the head portion 6.
  • the track 11 has the width of the stem so as to constrain the sliding movement thereof inside it, performed by engagement of the cam surface 9 with the sliding surface 10.
  • the locking piece 4 owing to its symmetry, is able to work correctly in both directions of rotation and therefore it may be arranged equally well on the two arms 3a, 3b of the angle piece 2, resulting in a significant ease of assembly of the bracket 1 which does not require, as in solutions of the known type, the provision of different locking pieces each solely able to be associated with one arm of the bracket.
  • the locking piece 4 may also have a non-symmetrical form and the sliding surface 10 may also be formed not parallel to the edge of the arm 3a,3b of the angle piece 2, but suitably angled so as to allow the fastening element to achieve an optimum grip inside the section.
  • the locking pieces 4 will be provided two in number on each arm 3a, 3b and on a same inner side 13 or outer side 14.
  • Figures 1-9 show a first example of an aligning bracket 1 according to the invention with the locking pieces 4 mounted on the inner side 13 of the arms 3a and 3b of the angle piece 2, while Figures 10-18 show a second example of an aligning bracket 1 according to the invention with the locking pieces 4 mounted on the outer side 14 of the arms 3a and 3b of the angle piece 2.
  • the locking position B is particularly stable owing to the dual engagement between the cam surface 9 and sliding surface 10 and between the retaining surface 8 and the section I, II, onto which the entire force is transmitted.
