Abstract
Modular case and frame sections for assembly into a self-supporting case and frame for lifting and/or sliding doors and/or windows, the case section being a hollow generally rectangular element having a pair of main chambers and a smaller chamber therebetween, first recess means on said element and guide means received therewithin. Said frame is defined by a pair of hollow side parts and a hollow bridging part, second and third recess means defined by said side and bridging parts, said second recess means being larger in cross section than the first recess means and capable of receiving connection means, closing means and carriage means therein.
Claims16
In a lifting and/or sliding closure assembly such as windows and/or doors of the type which include case and frame sections formed of modular elongate first and second hollow elements, the first elements arrangeable end to end within a building opening to define a casement construction and said second elements arrangeable end to end to define a sash construction receivable within said casement construction for defining said closure, a running carriage mechanism and a closing mechanism, and means operable to couple the sash construction within the casement construction, the invention comprising each of said sections having plural enclosed chambers therein, said first and second elements each having circumferential walls defining a generally rectangular cross-sectional configuration, a plurality of elongate guide sections, first flange means formed on said guide sections and first recess means formed along the length of one of said circumferential walls of said first element receiving said first flange means coupling said guide sections to said first element, the running carriage mechanism being received within a selected one of said second elements, the closing mechanism being received within a selected one of said second elements, an elongate hollow connection section coupled to said guide section and outwardly opening channel defining means formed on said guide section along the length thereof receiving a portion of said connection section, second recess means formed in said second element of size and configuration to receive a selected one of said connection section, a running carriage mechanism and closing mechanism recpectively therein, said second recess means being of conforming cross-sectional configuration to the cross-sectional configuration of said connection section, and plural groove means formed in said second elongate elements along the length thereof and plural sealing members seated within said grooves and extending outward therefrom.
