The current invention is a device for the easy installation of a doorsill or windowsill supported by the exterior wall, also called a "fagade". As is known, a windowsill or doorsill is made of natural stone, wood, metal, concrete and PVC. Known sills for windows and doors are typically made of natural stone, usually blue stone and/or granite.

Currently, a windowsill or doorsill is installed on the horizontal underlying side of a wall opening, also called an exterior wall.

The windowsill or doorsill is anchored using a mortar bed on the horizontal underlying masonry of the exterior wall opening.

A disadvantage of this type of mortar bed is that it is difficult to keep the windowsill or doorsill in a good position without the windowsill or doorsill sinking completely or along one side into the mortar due to its heavy weight. As a result, the windowsill or doorsill will not slant to the outside at the stipulated angle. In order to install these types of sill on a mortar bed, one must also always use a spirit level and a gauge to install the sills. The installation of a series of sills at the same angle and at the same depth is therefore not self-evident. An additional disadvantage is that the windowsill or doorsill can be smeared with mortar, which causes permanent spots which are not aesthetically pleasing, resulting in delays in the final installation.

A solution for this was found in a sill support according to the current invention, which replaces the mortar bed.

For this, the sill support is secured using adhesive on the horizontal underlying side of the external wall opening, whereby the sill support has relief elements on the underside for good glue adhesion. In addition, the current sill support has a raised edge and reference points, which ensure that each windowsill or doorsill can be simply and simultaneously installed.

The objective of the current invention is to provide a sill support which can be installed easily using adhesive or glue so that the windowsill or doorsill can be installed easily using adhesive or glue resulting in a good angle toward the outside.

DESCRIPTION

A detailed description of the present invention is given below with reference to the attached drawings.

Figure 1 shows a side view of a device according to one embodiment of the present invention. In this embodiment, the present invention comprises a sill support (3) to function as a support for a windowsill or doorsill (2), wherein the windowsill or doorsill (2) is installed at a low angle to the exterior side (1 a) of the exterior wall, and wherein a window or door (4) is installed on the windowsill or doorsill on the backside (1 b) of the exterior wall (1 ) near the interior wall (6) and insulation (5).

Figure 2 shows a specific embodiment of the present invention, wherein the wedge narrows in the direction of the corner between the long rectangular side (3a) and the oblique side (3b). In particular, the wedge is more narrow at the angle between the long rectangular side (3a) and the oblique side (3b) and this wedge runs out to the grove (3e).

The sill support (3), according to the present invention, is characterized by a wedge formed by a long rectangular side (3a) and an oblique side (3b), wherein there is a raised edge (3f) on the long rectangular side (3a) at the height of the corner between the long rectangular side (3a) and the oblique side (3b). In a specific preferred form, as shown in figures 2, 4, 7 and 9, the wedge is not evenly wide throughout. In particular, the wedge narrows in the direction of the angle between the long rectangular side (3a) and the oblique side (3b), or is narrower at the angle between the long rectangular side (3a) and the oblique side (3b). In the embodiments represented in figures 1 , 3, 5, 6 and 8, the wedge does not end in a point, but is cut off close to the end, forming a short side (3c) at the angle between the long rectangular side (3a) and an oblique side (3b). In a preferential form of the present invention, and as shown in figure 1 , the aforementioned raised edge (3f) is located in the extension of this short side (3c). In addition, the oblique side (3b) of the sill support (3) in the present invention has a groove (3e) in the longitudinal direction and reference points (3d). In a specific embodiment and as shown in figures 4 and 7, the aforementioned narrowing is consistent with the width of the groove (3e), and the aforementioned raised edge (3f) is present at the end of the groove (3e).

The sill support (3) is mounted on the horizontal underlying side (1 c) of an exterior wall opening using adhesive or glue, which is applied on the long rectangular side (3a) of the sill support (3). In a specific embodiment and as visible in figure 2, the sill support (3) is mounted both on the exterior wall (1 ) as well as on the interior wall (6). After installation of the sill support (3) according to the present invention, the windowsill or doorsill (2) is affixed to the oblique side (3b) of the sill support (3). The sill support (3) according to the present invention therefore serves for the easy installation of a windowsill or doorsill (2) on a horizontal underlying side (1 c) of an exterior wall (1 ).

As seen in figures 1 and 5, the sill support (3) in a preferred embodiment is characterized pursuant to the present invention by having a wedge with a raised edge (3f) on the long rectangular side (3a) at the angle between the long rectangular side (3a) and the oblique side (3b); preferably in the extension of the short side (3c). In addition, the oblique side (3b) of the sill support (3) in the present invention has a groove (3e) in the longitudinal direction and reference points (3d). In another preferential embodiment according to the present invention and as shown in figures 4 and 7, the present invention is characterized by having a wedge shape, wherein the oblique side (3b) has a groove (3e) in the longitudinal direction and reference points (3d), and wherein there is a raised edge (3f) at the end of this groove (3e). In addition, in this embodiment, the wedge is not evenly wide throughout, but narrows at the angle between the long rectangular side (3a) and the oblique side (3b) to the width of the groove (3e).

In a specific embodiment and as shown in figures 1 , 5, 6 and 8, the oblique side (3b) is longer than the rectangular side (3a). In this embodiment, the windowsill or doorsill can rest completely on the sill support (3) on the side adjacent to the interior side of the wall (1 ). Also in this embodiment, and as shown in figure 1 , the sill support (3) can be installed right up to the insulation (5). In another embodiment, and as shown in figures 2, 4, 7 and 9, the oblique side (3b) and the rectangular side (3a) are the same length and the sill support (3) in this embodiment can rest both on the interior wall (6) and the exterior wall (1 ). In this embodiment as well, the windowsill or doorsill can rest completely on the sill support (3) on the side adjacent to the interior side of the wall (1 ).

As described above, the sill support (3) according to the present invention has a raised edge (3f) on the long rectangular side (3a) at the angle between the long rectangular side (3a) and the oblique side (3b). In a specific embodiment, and as shown in figure 5, 6 and 7, the width of the groove (3e) and the raised edge (3f) is a maximum of one third of the maximum width of the wedge. In a specific embodiment, and as shown in figures 4 and 7, the wedge narrows in the direction of the angle between the long rectangular side (3a) and the oblique side (3b), whereby the narrowing of the wedge only runs over a distance of a maximum of one tenth of the total length of the long rectangular side (3a). When installing the sill support (3), this is positioned along the outer side of the wall (1 a) using the raised edge (3f), so that the sill support (3) is always correctly placed relative to the exterior side of the wall as a reference point.

In an additional embodiment of the present invention, the long rectangular side (3a) and the oblique side (3) form an angle of 2° to 10°. This angle ensures that the windowsill or doorsill (2) can always be placed under the correct and consistent angle (a), and runs to the outside.

In a specific embodiment, the sill support (3) is of plastic or rubber or a combination of these materials. Preferably, the sill support (3) according to the present invention is made of plastic. Considering the application as a sill support (3) for windowsills and doorsills, it will be clear to the professional that the sill support (3) must be made of sufficiently strong materials. Without wanting to limit ourselves in this area, the sill support is preferably made of a plastic material. Figure 3 shows a top view of multiple sill supports (3) to support a sill (2) according to one of the embodiments of the present invention. As shown in figure 3, the sill support (3) has reference points (3d) on the oblique side (3b) of the sill support (3). In a specific embodiment, these reference points (3d) are transverse measuring grooves. In an additional preferential embodiment, the reference points (3d) are also at a set distance from each other. In particular, these reference points 93d) are set consistently at 10 mm from each other. In an additional embodiment, the reference points (3d) are present on both sides of the groove (3e) at the level of the oblique side (3b) of the sill support (3). In yet another embodiment, the reference points (3d) are staggered on both sides of the groove (3 ^e ) so that one can read them from left to right every 5 mm. In an even more specific embodiment, there are measuring numbers at the level of these reference points (3d). These reference points (3d) of the sill support (3) have the function of enabling the placement of the backside (2a) of the sill (2) at a correct and even depth distance from the backside (1 b) of the exterior wall (1 ).

The sill support (3) according to the present invention is characterized by a wedge shape, wherein the oblique side (3b) of the sill support (3) has a groove (3e) in the longitudinal direction. In a specific embodiment, and as shown in figures 4 and 7, the wedge narrows in the direction of the angle between the oblique side and the long rectangular side to the width of the groove (3e) over a distance of a maximum of one tenth of the total length of the long rectangular side (3a), whereby the long rectangular side (3a) has a raised edge (3f) at the end of this groove (3e). In an additional embodiment, the width of the groove (3e) and the raised edge (3f) is a maximum of one third of the maximum width of the wedge. The groove (3e) has the function of catching the percolating water pooling between two adjacent sills and draining it to the outside. In particular, the raised edge (3f) has a triangular shape, wherein the oblique side of this triangular shape is placed against the outside of the wall (1 a). As a result of this placement, the end of the raised edge (3f) does not rest against the outside of the wall, so that the percolating water drained off via the groove (3e) and this raised edge (3f) does not come into contact with the outside of the wall (1 a).

As shown in figures 3, 4, 5, 6 and 7, both the oblique side (3b) and the long rectangular side (3a) have relief elements in a specific embodiment. In particular, these relief elements are round recesses. These relief elements ensure that the sill support (3) can be securely glued to the horizontal underlying side (1 c) of the exterior wall (1 ) and that the windowsill or doorsill (2) can be glued to the sill supports (3). In particular, the relief elements on the long rectangular side (3a) ensure good adhesion of the underside of the sill support (3) to the horizontal underlying side (1 c) of the exterior wall (1 ). In addition, the relief elements on the oblique side (3b) of the sill support (3) ensure that the windowsill or doorsill (2) can be glued to the sill support (3). For the professional, it is also clear that the sill supports (3) lie at set distances from each other for good support of the window and doorsills (2). Figures 6 and 7 show a top perspective view of the placement of two sill supports (3) pursuant to the present invention on the horizontal underlying side (1 c) of an exterior wall (1 ). Here it is clear that the sill support in the present invention is mounted with the long rectangular side (3a) on the horizontal underlying side (1 c) of an exterior wall opening using adhesive, which is applied on the long rectangular side (3a) of the sill support (3). In a specific embodiment and as visible in figure 7, the sill support (3) is mounted both on the exterior wall (1 ) as well as on the interior wall (6).

Figures 3 and 4 show a top view of the placement of sill supports (3) pursuant to the present invention, after which a windowsill or doorsill (2) is mounted. Specific to this invention, and visible on figures 3 and 4, is that the oblique side of the sill support (3) has a groove (3) in the longitudinal direction. This groove (3e) has the function of catching the percolating water pooling between two adjacent sills and draining it to the outside. The professional can clearly see that the windowsill and doorsill (2) can be easily mounted at depth distance without a measuring device from the backside (2a) of the sill with regard to the backside (1 b) of the exterior wall (1 ).

The present invention also comprises the use of multiple sill supports (3) according to one of the embodiments as described above, for the easy installation of a window or door profile (2) on a horizontal underlying side (1 c) of an exterior wall (1 ). In a specific embodiment of the present invention, the sill supports (3) are first placed on the horizontal side (1 c) of the exterior wall (1 ). These sill supports (3) are placed at regular distances from each other on the horizontal side (1 c) of an exterior wall (1 ) and are glued to the relief elements of the long rectangular side (3a) using adhesive at the horizontal underlying side (1 c) of an exterior wall, and optionally on the horizontal underlying side of the interior wall (6). In addition, the sill support (3) with the raised edge (3f) is placed up against the exterior side (1 a) of the wall. Considering that the exterior side (1 a) of the wall (fagade) is always laid out in a straight line, the multiple sill supports, where the raised edge (3f) of these sill supports are placed up against the exterior side of the wall, and thus multiple sill supports can be installed at the same depth distance from the wall. Also included in the present invention is the use of multiple sill supports (3) according to one of the aforementioned embodiments, whereby a windowsill or doorsill (2) is installed by applying adhesive to the relief elements of the oblique side (3b) of the sill supports (3). More specifically, the windowsill or doorsill (2) is installed at depth distance from the back side (2a) of a windowsill or doorsill (2) into the depth dimension of the back side (1 b) of an exterior wall (1 ) using reference points (3d), in particular the measuring grooves of the sill supports (3).

There are many advantages to the use of multiple sill supports (3) according to the present invention for the easy installation of a window or door profile (2) on a horizontal underlying side (1 c) of an exterior wall (1 ) and optionally on the interior wall (6). The windowsills or doorsills can be easily installed without using a mortar bed, but simply by adhering enough sill supports (3) to the horizontal underlying side (1 c) of the exterior wall (1 ) and optionally on the internal wall (6). After that, the windowsills or doorsills can be installed quickly and easily by adhering them to the oblique side (3b) of the installed sill supports (3). As a result, these windowsills or doorsills can thus be installed easily and quickly, and this can even be done in poor weather conditions. In addition, the presence of the reference points on the oblique side (3b) of the sill support (3) ensure that the sills (2) can always be placed at a correct and even depth distance from the back side (1 b) of the exterior wall (1 ), making the use of a classical ruler superfluous. Also, the angle formed between the long rectangular side (3a) and the oblique side (3b) is between 2° and 10°, so that the angle of the sills installed remains constant during the installation of multiple windowsill or doorsills (2). For the professional, this ensures quick and easy installation of the sills. It also provides the possibility to install all sills in the same way and at the same angle. Another advantage of the use of multiple sill supports (3) according to the present invention is that the presence of a groove (3e) in the oblique side (3b) ensures that percolating water collecting between two adjacent sills is caught up and drained to the outside via the raised edge (3f). In addition, in a specific embodiment of the present invention, and as seen in figures 2 and 7, the end of the raised edge (3f) does not rest against the outside of the wall, so that the percolating water drained off via the groove (3e) and this raised edge (3f) does not come into contact with the outside of the wall (1 a). This also has the advantage that there is no risk of the percolating water permeating onto the wall via the outside of the wall (1 a). It must be clear that a drip gutter can also be created in other ways, such as a double raised edge, whereby the first is set back a bit more and is placed against the wall, and is separated from the second, which is in line with the short side (3c). Ultimately, the use of multiple sill supports (3) according to the present invention also has an aesthetic advantage. Considering that, in a specific embodiment, the sill support (3) according to the present invention is characterized by a narrowing of the wedge in the direction of the angle between the long rectangular side (3a) and the oblique side (3b), only the narrow end of the wedge with the raised edge (3f) and the optional groove (3e) will be visible in the front view of the wall and the sills after the installation of the sills on the sill supports at an angle of 2° to 10°. Other parts of the sill support according to the present invention will no longer be visible.

Ultimately, this invention also includes a method for simple installation of window sills and doorsills as described above, without using a mortar bed. Accordingly, the present invention includes a manner for quick and easy installation of window and doorsills which can also occur in poor weather conditions. In addition, the present invention also includes a method for the simple installation of multiple sill supports (3), whereby a sill support (3) as described above is used in the various embodiments. The attached figures show a schematic diagram using examples of an embodiment of a sill support to support and for the installation of window and doorsills, whereby this procedure is quick and easy according to the stipulated rules of angle, so that the sill is positioned angled down and from inside out.

In the drawings:

Figure 1 is a side view of a sill support according to the invention for the simple installation of a windowsill or doorsill (2) using multiple sill supports (3) which are installed on the horizontal underlying side (1 c) of an exterior wall (1 ). In the figure we can see that the sill support (3) in this embodiment is a wedge, which has a raised edge (3f) along the length of the short side (3c) at the level of the corner between the long rectangular side (3a) and the oblique side (3b). Also specific to this embodiment is that the oblique side (3b) runs longer than the long rectangular side (3a). In figure 1 , we can also see that the long rectangular side (3a) and the oblique side (3b) form an angle between 2° and 10°. As a result, and as shown on the figure, the installed windowsill or doorsill (2) is angled from inside out.

Figure 2 is a side view of a specific embodiment of a sill support according to the present invention. On the figure one can also see that the wedge narrows at the level of the corner between the long rectangular side (3a) and the oblique side (3b) to the width of the groove (3e) and that the raised edge (3f) is present at the end of the groove (3e). Also shown is that the raised edge (3f) in this specific embodiment has a triangular shape, whereby the oblique side of this triangular shape is placed against the outside of the wall (1 a). As a result of this placement, the end of the raised edge (3f) does not rest against the outside of the wall, so that the percolating water drained off via the groove (3e) and this raised edge (3f) does not come into contact with the outside of the wall (1 a).

Figures 3 and 4 are top views of one embodiment of the sill support (3). In these embodiments, it is clear to see that the oblique side of the sill support (3) and a groove (3e) in the longitudinal direction and has reference points (3d). These reference points in the specific embodiment are spacer grooves set at equal distances from each other and which are placed on both sides of the groove (3e). The reference points (3d) are staggered on both sides of the groove (3d). These reference points (3d) on the sill support (3) allow for the installation of the sill (2) with its backside (2a) at the stipulated depth to the backside (1 b) of the exterior wall (1 ). In figure 4 one can also see that the wedge narrows at the angle between the long rectangular side (3a) and the oblique side (3b) and that the width of the wedge at this narrowing equals the width of the groove (3e).

Figure 5 is a perspective top view (3A), a top view (3B) a side view (3C) and a bottom view (3D) of an embodiment of the sill support (3). In figure 3D it is clear to see that the long rectangular side (3a) has relief elements (3g) which ensure that the sill support can be adhered to the underlying wall. In addition, figures 3A and 3B show that the oblique side (3b) also have relief elements (3g) which ensure that the windowsill or doorsill (2) can be adhered to the sill support (3). Figures 3A and 3B show that the sill support (3) has a groove (3e) in the longitudinal direction. This groove (3e) has the function of catching the percolating water pooling between two adjacent sills and draining it to the outside.

Figures 6 and 7 show a perspective of multiple sill supports (3) providing support on the horizontal underlying side (1 c) of an exterior wall (1 ) and optionally on the interior wall (6). The sill support (3) can be easily adhered by its long rectangular side (3a) to the horizontal underlying side (1 c) of an exterior wall (1 ). The sill support (3) is also installed with the raised edge (3f) placed against the exterior side (1 a) of the wall (1 ). The various sill supports (3) are installed at set distances from each other for good support of the sill (2). As shown in figure 7, the raised edge (3f) in a specific embodiment has a triangular shape, whereby the oblique side of this triangular shape is placed against the outside of the wall (1 a). In this manner, the end of the raised edge (3f) does not rest against the outside of the wall, so that the percolating water drained off via the groove (3e) and this raised edge (3f) does not come into contact with the outside of the wall (1 a).

Figures 8 and 9 show a perspective of the exterior view (1 a) of an exterior wall (1 ), with the installed sill (2) on the sill support (3) installed on the horizontal underlying side (1 c) of the wall. One can clearly see that the sill (2) is positioned at a slight angle to the outside. Here one can also clearly see that a seam is created during the installation of the second sill against the sill side (2b) of the sill (2). It is clear that the percolating water is caught in the groove (3e) of the sill support (3) from the side (2b) of the two adjacent sills and will then be drained off to the outside via this groove (3a) and the raised edge (3f).

It will be evident to the professional that the figures above are merely illustrative of an embodiment according to the present invention, and that the latter is in no way restricted at any moment to the details of these embodiments but also extends to other equivalent embodiments which incorporate the innovative contribution of the invention. The scope of the invention is given by the attached claims and includes all modifications within the meaning and scope of equivalence of the claims.
