Lifting system for a liftable sliding leaf

1. A lifting system ( 11 ) for lifting a liftable sliding leaf ( 10 ), in such a way that said liftable sliding leaf ( 10 ) is slidable in a horizontal direction, the lifting system comprising:

a lifting mechanism ( 16 ), connectable to the liftable sliding leaf ( 10 ), said lifting mechanism ( 16 ) being movable between a first configuration and a second configuration, respectively associated with a first condition in which sliding of the liftable sliding leaf ( 10 ) is prevented and a second condition in which sliding of the liftable sliding leaf ( 10 ) is possible, by respectively lowering and lifting said liftable sliding leaf ( 10 ) by means of the movement of said lifting mechanism ( 16 );

a control member ( 12 ) which can be connected to and acts on the lifting mechanism ( 16 ) in such a way as to switch said lifting mechanism ( 16 ) between said first and second configurations, said control member ( 12 ) being located in a fixed part ( 9 a ) of an opening ( 9 ) comprising the liftable sliding leaf ( 10 );

wherein the lifting mechanism ( 16 ) is connectable to a top part ( 10 a ) of the liftable sliding leaf ( 10 );

wherein the lifting mechanism ( 16 ) comprises a tie-rod ( 18 ) connected to the control member ( 12 ) and connected to the top part ( 10 a ) of the liftable sliding leaf ( 10 ), said tie-rod ( 18 ) being able to exert a thrusting or pulling force on said top part ( 10 a ) so as to cause the lowering or lifting of the liftable sliding leaf ( 10 );

wherein the tie-rod ( 18 ) is connectable to the sliding leaf ( 10 ) by means of a linkage ( 22 ) able to exert a lifting or lowering torque on the liftable sliding leaf ( 10 ), pivoting about a fixed pin ( 22 a ) fixed with respect to the opening ( 9 ); and

wherein the linkage ( 22 ) comprises a bracket pivoting about the fixed pin ( 22 a ) and having one end connected to the tie-rod ( 18 ) and one end connectable to a guide ( 14 ), forming an articulated connection so that, when the tie-rod ( 18 ) is pulled, the movement can be transmitted to the guide ( 14 ) by means of pivoting of the bracket about the pin ( 22 a ) so as to lift the guide ( 14 ).

2. The system according to claim 1 , wherein the tie-rod ( 18 ) is connectable to the guide ( 14 ) connected to the top part of the liftable sliding leaf so as to allow horizontal sliding of said leaf ( 10 ).

3. The system according to claim 1 , wherein the tie-rod ( 18 ) is movable by means of a slide ( 20 ), said slide ( 20 ) being connected to the lifting mechanism ( 16 ) so as to be movable between said first and second configurations for lifting and lowering the liftable sliding leaf ( 10 ).

4. The system according to claim 3 , wherein an adjustment mechanism ( 24 ) is arranged between the tie-rod ( 18 ) and the slide ( 20 ), in such a way that the liftable sliding leaf ( 10 ) is liftable by a predetermined amount, the adjustment mechanism ( 24 ) comprising two adjustment elements ( 26 , 28 ) movable relative to each other, at least one of the two elements ( 26 ) being connected to the tie-rod ( 18 ) in such a way as to vary the position of the tie-rod ( 18 ) relative to the slide ( 20 ).

5. The system according to claim 4 , wherein the at least one of the two elements ( 26 ) connected to the tie-rod ( 18 ) is connected to the slide ( 20 ) so as to move integrally with said slide ( 20 ).

6. A liftable sliding leaf ( 10 ) for door or window, associated with a lifting system ( 11 ) according to claim 1 .

7. A door or window ( 9 ), comprising a liftable sliding leaf ( 10 ) according to claim 6 .
