The fluid passage 120 shown in Figure 2 it flows into the air chamber 104 on a vertical face of the chamber and no longer over the peripheral seal 113 of said air chamber, as in the example of figure 1, and that essentially allows fluid and thermal tightness between the interior 123 and the air chamber 104.

As shown in Figure 2, the steps fluids 120 are formed in an intermediate profile 124 associated with the first frame 101, advantageously interposed between the profile peripheral lower outer peripheral 115 constituting the first frame 101, comprising the outer frame 126, and the outer glass panel 102

The intermediate profile 124 is fixed in the frame exterior 126 of the peripheral profile 115 constituting the first frame 101, by means of a reed 127 or similar.

Therefore, the essential differences between the example of figure 2 and that of figure 1 reside:

-

in the absence of any passage or ventilation duct of the chamber air 104 passing through frame 105, as well as space 125 between fixed frame 105 and sheet 116,

-

in the advantageous absence of any ventilation opening of the chamber of air 104 in the peripheral sealing profile 113,

-

in the advantageous absence of any passage or ventilation duct of the air chamber 104 that crosses the bridge break profile 115 thermal of frame 101 of sheet 116,

-

in the advantageous presence of an intermediate profile 124 according to a means essential of the present invention, advantageously fixed in a frame 126 of the peripheral profile 115 of the first frame 101, by means of a jib 127 or similar, and comprising means 108 of air chamber ventilation 104,

-

in a exterior glass panel 102 of different dimension, which is the consequence of the attachment of intermediate profile 124 and the taking in consideration of its dimensions.

As in Figure 1, frame 101 of sheet 116 comprises in an known way an inner profile 128 and an outer profile 115 with rupture of the thermal bridge fixed to the inner profile 128, as shown in figure 2, the outer frame 126 being formed in the outer profile 115.

As shown in Figure 2, the profile intermediate 124 comprises an intermediate frame 129 in which the panel outer glass 102 is housed by a gasket 130 of the panel crystal, a male part 131 that simulates a panel edge of glass and intended to be housed in the outer frame 126 of the profile 115 of frame 101 of sheet 116, a coating 132 that links the intermediate frame 129 and the male part 131, in which they are formed advantageously the fluid passages 120 as described previously. The male part 131 of the intermediate profile 124 may be constituted of two distant walls equivalent to the value of glass panel thickness that could be inserted into the frame exterior 126, as depicted in the example of Figure 2. The link coating 132 may consist of two perforated walls arranged on the inner side and on the side exterior in order to ensure fluid passage 120. As is represents in figure 2, the male part 131, the coating 132, and intermediate frame 129 are advantageously aligned in a same plane, arranged vertically when intermediate profile 124 it is mounted on the outer peripheral profile 115 of the first frame 101 of sheet 116; thus, the outer frame 126 of the profile peripheral 115 of the first frame 101, intermediate profile 124, and the outer glass panel 102 are advantageously aligned in the same flat, which forms the outer surface of the sheet, that the profile intermediate 124 is mounted on lower, upper, and / or parts lateral. A configuration of these characteristics allows maintain an aesthetic according to the needs, when looking for The facades are flat. It is observed in figures 2 and 3 that, when the fixed frame 105 comprises an external swing on the that sheet 116 is supported when it is closed, more particularly the jib 127 and the peripheral profile 115, the intermediate profile 124 allows to substantially ensure the continuity of the flatness of the exterior surface of the window between the swing of the fixed frame and the glass panel Exterior.

During the completion of the intermediate profile 124, it must be ensured that the fluid passages 120 lead to fully in the air chamber 104, preferably at the bottom of the same as shown in Figure 2. The openings 121 and 122 of the coating 132, respectively on the outer side 107 and on the side in contact with the air chamber 104, they can adopt the shape of a plurality of circular holes or oblong lights distributed along the profile, in appropriate quantity depending on of the volume of the air chamber in order to ensure ventilation correct of it. The opening 121 on the outer side can be carried out, alternatively, continuously throughout of the profile, and in this case only the inner covering 132 ensures the mechanical resistance of the intermediate profile to the weight of the glass panel, and presenting the appropriate openings 122 such as described above.

It will be noted that with such a device features, the ventilation function is performed regardless of the frame carrying the sheet comprising the profile with rupture of the thermal bridge 115 and the internal profile by metallic example 128, of the fixed frame 105, of the profile of peripheral tightness 113, to be confined to a single profile intermediate 124 which, according to needs, can be arranged, to choice, alternatively or additionally, at the bottom of the leaf frame, at the top as represented in  Figure 3, on the side parts (not shown). The Air chamber ventilation ensures whether the blade is found in the open position as in the closed position on The fixed frame.

As shown in Figure 2, the profile intermediate 124 advantageously comprises filter means 133 of dust protection that are arranged through the steps fluids 120, preferably in the part of intermediate profile 124 which constitutes the link covering 132, and against the openings 122 in the inner part of the coating 132, such as is shown in figure 2. Filter 133 may be advantageously an elongated filter, particularly of the type of Known mechanical stainless filter, which not only allows intercept the dust but also allows intercepting, and more widely, insects so that none of such objects penetrate the air chamber 104. The filter arranged in this way It can be replaced if necessary, without disassembling the fillings. From this way, the main tightness of the leaf frame is not committed during said maintenance operation.

Advantageously, intermediate profile 124 may be provided with ventilation holes, be it a finish unique, be a color intended by the architect.

As shown in Figure 3, the profile intermediate 124 advantageously disposed at the top of the sheet 101, may allow the fixing of a blind 134, in the link covering 132 between intermediate frame 129 and the male part 131, as depicted in the figure. Profile Upper intermediate 124 is fixed as its lower pendant in the outer frame 126 of upper profile 115, and inner space of the coating 132 is advantageously used for the insertion of a fixing element of the blind 134. For this, the profile intermediate 124 is mounted inverted in relation to the profile lower intermediate 124 so that opening 121 is located on the side of the air chamber 104. The upper intermediate profile 124, contrary to the lower intermediate profile, does not present no ventilation opening 122 in the clamping wall exterior of the coating (in the upper position of figure 3), and this in order to remain in the frame of application of the frame denominated with ventilation that does not present an air circulation at the height of the air chamber 104, the profile function being upper intermediate 124 provide a uniformity of aesthetics of the leaf, a fixation of the blind 134 or other device concealer inserted in the air chamber 104, and masking, seen from the outside, from the top of the blind 134 like the one depicted in figure 3.

It should be noted that the window according to the figures 2 and 3 may or may not have a tightness (not shown) between the fixing pin 127 of the intermediate profile 124 and the fixed frame 105, being able to present the latter, in a way appropriate and known, water discharge holes 135 if It was necessary.

The profiles that constitute the frame 105, inside and outside, they are usually a metal alloy or of plastic materials, separated by break pins of the thermal bridge in the case of the use of an alloy metal, and the profiles that constitute sheet 116, interior 128 and exterior 115, can be metallic and plastic material respectively, in order to obtain break profiles of the thermal bridge for the frame and for the leaf. Profile intermediate 124 can be made of a metallic material or of a plastic material.
