Definitions

  • the present invention generally finds application in the field of heat and sound insulating devices for doors and windows, and particularly relates to a seal for door or window leaves.
  • the invention also relates to a sealing device for door and window leaves which incorporates such seal.
  • Seals are known to be used in door and window leaves for closing off any gap occurring between the leaf and either the floor or the threshold.
  • insulating seals are generally adapted to be applied to the upper and/or lower edges of the leaf.
  • these seals are typically applied to the lower edges of the doors to prevent the passage of air through the gap and enhance heat and sound insulation in the environment.
  • insulating seals are often designed to interact with appropriate actuator means which are adapted to cause vertical translation thereof, as the leaf is opened and closed.
  • actuator means keep the seal away from the floor as the leaf is opened and cause the seal to contact the floor when the leaf is closed.
  • a strong need in the art is that of providing seals for door and window leaves that ensure high insulation even when they have to close off gaps with irregular or indented profiles.
  • seals for door or window leaves have been provided, whose sealing edge is specially designed to fit the irregularities in the floor or the threshold.
  • EP1905938 discloses an insulating seal for doors comprising a rail that is designed to fit into a longitudinal channel formed in the lower edge of the door, and a longitudinal sealing member held within the rail, and adapted to close off the gap between the floor and the door edge.
  • the sealing member is flexible and has one or more continuous downwardly extending lip projections with respective free end edges designed to contact the floor or the threshold.
  • the relatively small thickness of the lip projections allows the end edge to fit the profile of the floor or the threshold even when the latter are uneven or irregular.
  • a first drawback of this arrangement is that the continuous end edge of the lip projection cannot fully conform to the profile of any type of floor or threshold.
  • the sealing effect of the lip projection is considerably reduced when the floor profiles to be insulated comprise tile joints extending to great lengths, of having particularly deep concavities or convexities.
  • a further drawback of this arrangement is that extended use of the seal may lead to a permanent alteration of the shape of the lip projections.
  • the object of the present invention is to obviate the above drawbacks, by providing a seal for door and window leaves that is highly efficient and relatively cost-effective.
  • a particular object of the present invention is to provide a seal for door and window leaves that has high insulation and soundproofing properties irrespective of floor or threshold conformations.
  • a further object of the present invention is to provide a seal for door and window leaves that provides high and substantially consistent efficiency.
  • Another object of the present invention is to provide a seal for door and window leaves that is easily replaceable when worn or damaged.
  • a seal for doors and windows particularly for hinged doors, sliding doors, windows or frames, comprising a profile made of a flexible material, which is designed to be applied to the lower edge of a door or window leaf, said profile having an elongate connecting portion with a longitudinal axis from which at least one lower lip projection extends to interact with the floor or the threshold of the leaf.
  • the seal is characterized in that said at least one lip projection has a plurality of substantially transverse cuts uniformly arranged along the entire longitudinal extent of the projection, and defining a plurality of independent flexible segments, which are adapted to allow the seal to fit the irregularities of the floor or the threshold with low friction.
  • the invention relates to a sealing device for door and window leaves as defined in claim 10.
  • a seal for door and window leaves generally designated by numeral 1, which is designed to be applied to a door or a window S to act as a door bottom seal for weather proofing and for improved heat and sound insulation in the environment.
  • the seal 1 may be advantageously applied to an end edge B of a leaf A of a door or window S, to provide a sealing effect at a gap F with the floor P or a threshold that may have shape irregularities, due to the presence of joints K between tiles T, or flatness or tilt errors.
  • seal 1 may be used to provide insulation and lateral protection in sliding doors Z or may be alternatively used to provide a sealing action on windows or other frames.
  • the seal 1 of the invention comprises a profile 2 made of a flexible material, which is designed to be applied to the lower edge B of the leaf A, and has an elongate connecting portion 3 defining a longitudinal axis L, from which at least one lower projection 4 extends to interact with the floor P or the threshold of the leaf A.
  • the profile 2 may be made of a flexible material selected from the group comprising elastomers and polymeric materials.
  • the profile 2 may be as long as or longer than the leaf A of the door or window S, such as to partially or entirely close off the gap F.
  • the lip projection 4 may extend downwards from the upper portion 3 along a substantially vertical transverse direction V.
  • the lip projection 4 has a plurality of substantially transverse cuts 5 uniformly arranged along the entire longitudinal extent 14 of the projection 4, thereby defining a plurality of independent lip segments 6, which are adapted to impart greater flexibility to the seal 1 and to allow it to fit the irregularities of the floor P or the threshold with low friction.
  • each segment 6 may be elastically deformed in the vertical direction to fit the local profile of the floor P or the threshold, independently of the other profiles.
  • the lip projections 4 may have equal longitudinal extents 14.
  • the cuts 5, as best shown in the figures, may be substantially vertical and perpendicular to the longitudinal axis L.
  • the cuts 5 may be longitudinally arranged with a substantially constant pitch p, to define segments 6 having substantially equal longitudinal extents.
  • the cuts 5 may be arranged with a pitch p ranging from 1 mm to 10 mm, preferably of about 3 mm.
  • the cuts 5 may have an extent w corresponding to part of the maximum height h of the lip projection 4 and the flexible segments 6 may be connected together at the remaining part of the maximum height h of at least one lip projection 4.
  • cuts 5 may have equal transverse extents w.
  • the cuts 5 may be arranged with a variable pitch p and have different transverse extents w to define segments 6 of different sizes.
  • the elongate body 3 may comprise a central tubular body 7 whose bottom face 8 is designed to contact the floor P or the threshold.
  • the seal 1 may have a pair of lip projections, referenced 4, 4' in the figures, extending downwards from the sides of the central tubular body 7.
  • Each lip projection 4, 4' may have a respective plurality of independent segments 6 which are designed to contact the floor P or threshold.
  • the seal 1 will provide an overall sealing action, resulting from the superimposed sealing actions of the tubular body 7 and each of the lip projections 4, 4' on the floor P or threshold.
  • the tubular body 7 may have a plurality of additional substantially transverse cuts 9, not shown, similar to those of the lip projections 4, 4'.
  • Cuts 9 are adapted to define a plurality of independent longitudinal tubular portions 10 in the tubular body 7, for helping the tubular body to fit the irregularities of the floor P or the threshold.
  • tubular portions 10 may undergo differentiated vertical compression to fit the irregularities and inclinations in the floor P or the threshold.
  • the seal 1 may comprise a plurality of substantially parallel lip projections 4, extending downwards from the connecting portion 3.
  • the lip projections 4 may be composed of respective pluralities of lip segments 6, adapted to contact the floor P or threshold.
  • the overall sealing action of the seal 1 results from the sum of the sealing actions of the individual lip projections 4 on the floor P or threshold.
  • the lip projections 4 may have differentiated heights f for selective thereof with the floor P or threshold, upon downward translation of the seal 1, occurring as the leaf A is being closed.
  • the corresponding cuts 5 of the individual lip projections 4 may lie on substantially vertical and longitudinally staggered planes n.
  • the cuts 5 may lie on planes n perpendicular to the longitudinal axis L.
  • Such arrangement of the cuts provides respective sequences of segments 13 aligned in respective horizontal directions X, perpendicular to the longitudinal axis L.
  • the cuts 5 may lie on planes ⁇ perpendicular to the longitudinal axis L, such that the lip segments 6 of the individual projections 4 may be arranged in staggered relationship to respective horizontal directions X perpendicular to the longitudinal axis L, as schematically shown in FIG. 9b .
  • the cuts 5 may lie on planes ⁇ that are substantially vertical and inclined to the longitudinal axis L, at a predetermined inclination angle ⁇ .
  • Such arrangement of the cuts 5, as schematically shown in FIG. 10b provides respective sequences 13 of segments 6 aligned in respective directions Y inclined to the longitudinal axis L at said inclination angle ⁇ .
  • the invention also relates to a sealing device 14 for leaves A of doors and windows S, as best shown in FIGS. 11 and 12 , comprising an elongate support 15, which is adapted to fit into a channel C formed in the lower edge B of the leaf A.
  • the elongate support 15 holds therein a weather and sound proofing type of seal 1 as described above.
  • the seal 1 comprises at least one lip projection 4 having a plurality of substantially transverse cuts 5 uniformly arranged along the entire longitudinal extent of the projection 4, thereby defining a plurality of independent lip segments 6, which are adapted to allow the seal 1 to fit the local irregularities of the floor or the threshold with low friction.
  • the seal 1 may comprise a plurality of longitudinal lip projections 4 in substantially uniformly staggered arrangement, as shown in FIG. 11 , or may comprise a tubular body 7 and a pair of lop projections 4, 4', as shown in FIG. 12 .
  • the elongate support 15 may be substantially U-shaped, to define an inner housing 16 for the seal 1.
  • the latter comprises a substantially longitudinal elongate connecting portion 3, which has a pair of transverse arms 19, 20 at the ends 17, 18, for interaction with the inner wall 21 of the compartment 16 and easier friction fit of the seal 1 therewith.
  • the device 14 may comprise actuator means 22, which are located within the support 15 and act upon the seal 1 to cause vertical translation t thereof, and compression of the lip projection 4 against the floor P or threshold.
  • the actuator means 22 may be designed to cause vertical translation t of the seal from an inoperative position at least partially retracted in the compartment 16 to an operative position at least partially projecting from the compartment 16.
  • the lip projection 4 may be spaced from the floor P or the threshold for the leaf A of the door or window S to be opened.
