Abstract

A multi-purpose window system which opens inwards and outwards and in a variety of new modes in a triple frame format with a cross-connector linking the three frames and providing a credible alternative to the 'tilt and turn' mechanisms currently employed in the window industry to achieve regulation compliance. The triple frame format and cross-connector allows for many different windows to be created. For example, a window which can be deployed vertically as in a house wall or dwelling or non-vertically as in a roof structure from a single fabrication.

Description

MULTI PURPOSE WINDOW SYSTEM
This invention relates to a system for constructing windows which may be deployed in vertical or non vertical locations, for example, in the rafters of a pitched or flat roof. In accordance with its unique triple frame format, this Multi Purpose Window system allows for a window to be opened fully outwards, fully inwards and in a variety of new modes. The profiles for this window system can be made in a wide range of materials for example, U.P.V.C., wood, resin wood etc., and will take standard ironmongery.
Windows currently available on the market have a restrictive double frame format and open using "tilt and turn" mechanisms and/or friction stay hinge mechanisms. These window mechanisms, especially when involving larger windows, are frequently subject to breakdown if not handled carefully or are operated in high wind conditions.
The Multi Purpose Window System offers the facility to create a robust, versatile, high performance window which matches or exceeds current regulations or building code requirements, which will not readily breakdown even in high wind conditions.
I shall now describe the present invention by way of example with reference to the accompanying drawings.
According to another aspect of the present invention is provided a triple frame format comprising an outer (1), middle (2) and inner (3) frame as shown on figure 1.
The opposite side of this frame is shown in figure 2. This window is operational from both sides when vertically deployed. However when non vertically deployed, as in a pitched roof, the side as shown in figure 2 is preferable to form the outside, while the window shown on figure 1 the inside.
According to another aspect of the present invention the window may be operated with (a) one handle or (b) two handles and from either side as shown on figures 3,4,5 and 6 of the accompanying drawings. Due to the present invention's triple frame format and special internal grooves and ironmongery linkage as shown in figure 7 which I shall presently describe in detail, the window may also be operated from any side and any quadrant an example of this is shown in figures 8 and 9. I shall now describe the movement and linkage of the espagnolette type ironmongery used in a one handled vertically located window.
POSITION ONE
When the handle (5) figure 7 is in the downward position and parallel to the frame (3) all the studs (8) in all the "espagnolettes" are in their highest position, all frames are locked within their respective Keeps (not shown) but are located opposite the studs (8) .
POSITION TWO
When the handle is in position two, all the studs (8) are in their middle position, the handle is at right angles to the inner frame (3), the inner frame (3) is free to move outwards, the middle and outer frames are locked in their respective Keeps also the cross - connector (11) which links all the "espagnolettes" (12) is free to move downwards due to a slot (10) provided in the middle frame (2) also the central stud (8) located nearest the cross - connector is free to move outwards due to another slot (13) located at the back of the cross - connector and indicated by a line which appears to point to the central stud as the slot is at the back of this stud on the cross - connector also, the Keep opposite the central stud and fixed to middle frame (2) does not in this position retain the central stud and again the inner frame is free to move outwards. Further, the inner frame is then pulled shut and the handle is pushed upwards engaging position three.
POSITION THREE
When the handle is in the uppermost position all the studs are now at their lowest position, middle and inner frames are locked together and at the same time freed from frame (1), frames (2) and (3) may now be pulled inwards. It should be noted in accordance with and as shown on figure 7, (7) is a corner drive mechanism and (9) as shown on figure 7 is a three way gearbox also the two handled versions of this window only require a two way gearbox (not shown). SECTIONS Figure 10 shows a one handle example of the profiles necessary to make frames (1), (2) and (3) also the alignment and position of the three eurogrooves (6) the glazing bead housing (16) and the gasket slots (17).
Figure 11 shows a two handle example of the profiles necessary to make frames (1), (2) and (3) and is similar to figure 10. As shown on figure 11 this version requires only two eurogrooves (6) .
According to another aspect of the present invention a wide range of movements and ironmongery may be used in a variety of ways.
With reference to figure 12 I shall now show an example of a two handled window suitable for use in a non vertical application. This movement for example uses a combination of friction stay (18) and storm hinges
(not shown).
Another example of the versatility of this window system is shown in figure 13 this one handled version employs friction stay (18) and storm hinges (19) in a different orientation and on the opposite side to that shown in figure 12 further, a large number of other orientations are available using the triple frame format also a handle or handles may be employed on any side or quadrant to drive and operate the mechanism.
In the case of large windows deployed in a pitched roof it is necessary to make provision for explosive opening for example the user of such a window when turning the handle to open inwards, will receive almost the full weight of the frame and glazing. A restraint is necessary.
According to another aspect of this invention is provided a restraining system based on the principle of the inertia reel and operating in much the same way as a car seat belt. Figure 14 shows the inertia reel belt attached to frame (3) and connected through the inertia reel box housing (21) to the inertia reel mechanism (not shown) contained inside the housing (21) which is secured to frame (1) as shown in figure 14. When the window is fully opened extra belt may be pulled out from the housing so the belt will not present an obstruction in an emergency. According to another aspect of this invention is provided an alternative method of preventing explosive opening for large windows an example of this is shown in figure 15. A cord (23) is connected to frame (3) and through frame (1) and around a double pulley (24) and is attached to a counter - balanced weight (25) another cord is connected to frame (3) as shown in figure (15) and through frame (1) and around a single pulley (22) and up and around the double pulley (24) then connected to the counter - balance the workings are contained in a duct housing (27) and secured to the rafter (28).
According to another aspect of the present invention is provided a special transom (30) FIG 16 this detail is primarily but not exclusively for low pitched roofs to avoid water penetration. The primary gaskets (31) FIG 16 are also shown.
FIG 17 shows a section through the bottom of the window. A plate (35) is fixed to the adjoining member (2) by means of screws (34). This plate (35) houses the primary and secondary gaskets (31) and (32) respectively. This special transom (30) is a moulded member which houses the opposing primary and secondary gaskets (31) and (32) respectively, should any water get past the primary gaskets (31) then drainage holes (33) allow water to pass through the special transom (30) but not beyond the vein (36).
Another aspect of the present invention provides for circular and non-square window fabrications examples as shown on FIGS 18, 19, 20.

2) A multi-purpose window system as in claim 1 which from a single fabrication may be deployed vertically as in the walls of a dwelling house or non vertically as in a pitched roof structure.
3) A multi-purpose window system as in claims 1 and 2 employing two or more handles for operational purposes.
