Profiled element for doors/windows made of plastic material, in particular PVC

A profiled element (1) for doors/windows made of plastic material, in particular PVC, wherein said profiled element (1) comprises:

• at least one main portion (2) made of plastic material extending along a longitudinal direction and defining a holding surface (2a) for a central panel (3) of a door/window (4), said main portion (2) being adapted to form a perimeter frame (5) of said door/window (4);
• at least one retaining portion (6) which extends parallel to said longitudinal direction, defines an abutment surface (6a) of said central panel (3) and is adapted to fasten said central panel (3) to said perimeter frame (5);
• and
• non-removable connection means (7) which connect said main portion (2) to said retaining portion (6), extend along at least one longitudinal axis (A) parallel to said longitudinal direction and are adapted to allow a movement of said retaining portion (6) with respect to said main portion (2) between a raised configuration, wherein said retaining portion (6) frees superiorly said holding surface (2a) for the positioning of said central panel (3), and a retaining configuration, wherein said retaining portion (6) faces said holding surface (2a);
• wherein said main portion (2) is provided with at least one main face (2b) and said retaining portion (6) is provided with at least one secondary face (6b), wherein, in said raised configuration, said faces (2b, 6b) are close to each other;
• wherein said connection means (7) comprises at least one of:
• (1) a connecting strap (10) foldable between said retaining configuration and said raised configuration, wherein said connecting strap (10) is foldable at several points and defines a plurality of longitudinal axes (A) around each of which said retaining portion (6) may rotate to position itself between said retaining configuration and said raised configuration and gives multiple degrees of freedom to said retaining portion (6), and
• (2) at least one flexible foil coating element (11) applied to said secondary face (6b) and said main face (2b), wherein said coating element (11) is foldable at several points and defines a plurality of longitudinal axes (A) and gives multiple degrees of freedom to said retaining portion (6).
