CLOSING INSULATION SYSTEM IN SLIDING WINDOWS AND DOORS

The invention is about a closing system that ensures insulation between the wing and the frame in sliding window and door systems made of aluminum and other materials, and its feature is that it is composed of; closing sealing strip component that can be produced in different sizes and forms (1), mechanism box (2), mechanism box-force transmission element connection (2.1), mechanism box body (2.2), mechanism box pin (2.3), mechanism box transmitter (2.4), mechanism box arm (2.5), mechanism box joint (2.6), force transmission element (3), handle (4), frame (5) and wing (6).

In the state of the art, there are two types of systems used in all sliding window and door systems existing in the domestic and foreign markets: simple sliding system and tift-and-slide system. The simple sliding system offers the ability to use only the bristle brush for insulation purposes due to its working principle based on sliding the wing. On account of the fact that the insulating property of bristle brushes is low, air and water can easily leak into the sliding system, and this also reduces the heat and sound performances. Furthermore, due to opening and closing of the wing in the sliding system, the materials are worn out, become deformed, and ultimately the low performance decreases even more over time. Therefore, the simple sliding system provides very low insulation performance. In the lift-and-slide system on the other hand, in order to meet the performance requirements (air, water, heat and sound) that the simple sliding system cannot meet, a rubber or plastic brush with high insulation value is used on tke wing, and in order to ensure the operation of the system under friction, a wing lifting mechanism is used and this way a lift-and-slide system is created on the wing. However, in order for the mechanism to lift the wing it is needed to apply much force on the closing handle. Therefore, it is compulsory to use a big handle. The lift-and-slide system that was invented to increase the insulation performance has eliminated the friction along the horizontal wing rail but has not been able to eliminate the point frictions. Although the performance has reached to a satisfactory level in the lift-and-slide systems, there are performance losses in this system as well due to wear and tear caused by use of the system. The high cost of the mechanism has made the general cost of the joinery expensive. Additionally this system can bear weights up to maximum 400 kg, therefore this limits the door dimensions.

The closing insulation system increasing the insulation performance, which is the subject matter of this invention, distinctly from the state of the art, has increased substantially the air, water, heat and sound insulation performances compared to the other sliding window and door systems existing in the market. The mechanism is located in the wing top and bottom horizontal profiles. By virtue of the force applied on the handle (4) the force transmission element (3) moves linearly and transmits the load to the mechanism box (2) that can be produced in different sizes and forms. By virtue of the movement of the mechanism box-force transmission element connection (2.1), the mechanism box arm (2.5) moves around the mechanism box joint (2.6). The mechanism box pin (2.3) connected to the mechanism box arm (2.5) moves towards outside of the wing (6), and the closing sealing strip component (1) connected to the mechanism box pins (2.3) ensures insulation by closing the gap between the frame (5) and the wing (6). In case a force in the opposite direction is applied on the handle (4), the closing sealing strip component (1) releases the frame (5) and the wing (6), and the wing sliding can be performed. On account of the fact that friction is eliminated, the performance of the system can be sustained for a long time. Contrary to the lift-and-slide, by virtue of the system which is the subject matter of this invention any performance loss in the air, water, heat and sound insulation is not encountered. Thus, the window and door system has a longer lifetime by virtue of the invention.

The invention provides high sound insulation and prevents air ingress for the purpose of getting rid of the noise pollution generated due to the environment conditions in the inhabited space, saves heating costs in the wintertime and cooling cots in the summertime by virtue of its high heat insulation, and provides high performance water insulation by preventing water intake by pressing on and closing the insulation sealing strips. By virtue of the invention, it is possible to manufacture sliding windows and doors which are more economic and have higher performances compared to all the present lift-and-slide systems. It offers the ultimate consumer the high performance product having lower accessory costs in an economic way. Since the existing accessories are not depended on, due to the higher bearing capacity of the invention, it is possible to manufacture sliding door wings with bigger dimensions, thus it is possible to create more spacious areas/spaces with broad field of vision (field of view).

It provides the opportunity to use fire-resistant insulation materials in order to retard passage of flame, heat and smoke during fire. On account that the system does not require much force, the invention offers also the option of using small size handles. It can also be applied for the suspended sliding systems that have been developed for the situations where any barriers are not wanted on the floor. Depending on the desired performance choice (water, air, sound, heat, fire etc.) the components of the system and the sealing strips connected to the mechanism can be manufactured from diverse materials.
