Abstract

A leaf, of a sliding window or sliding door, has a top profile that is provided with at least one hardware component and which has a side profile perpendicular to the top profile, whereby the top of the top profile has a groove with undercut flanks extending in the longitudinal direction of the top profile, whereby the hardware component or hardware components is or are fastened to a first part of a connecting piece, whereby the first part has a shape that is at least partly complementary to the groove, the first part being held in the groove and locked in the longitudinal direction of the groove.

Claims (36)

1. A leaf ( 4 ) of a sliding window ( 1 ) or sliding door, the leaf ( 4 ) comprising:

a top profile ( 14 ),

a side profile ( 13 ) perpendicular to the top profile ( 14 ),

wherein a top of the top profile ( 14 ) has a first groove ( 15 ) with first undercut flanks ( 16 ) extending in a longitudinal direction of the top profile ( 14 ),

wherein the side profile ( 13 ) has a second groove ( 15 ) with second undercut flanks ( 16 ) extending in a longitudinal direction of the side profile ( 13 ),

a connecting assembly ( 8 ) comprising a first part ( 19 ) held in the top profile ( 14 ) and a second part ( 22 ) held in the side profile ( 13 ),

wherein at least one hardware component ( 10 , 11 ) is fastened to the first part ( 19 ) of the connecting assembly ( 8 ),

wherein the first part ( 19 ) has a shape that corresponds to the first groove ( 15 ) of the top profile ( 14 ) and that allows the first part ( 19 ) to slide in the first groove ( 15 ) of the top profile ( 14 ) in the longitudinal direction of the top profile,

wherein the second part ( 22 ) has a shape that corresponds to the second groove ( 15 ) of the side profile ( 13 ) and that allows the second part ( 22 ) to slide in the second groove ( 15 ) of the side profile ( 13 ) in the longitudinal direction of the side profile ( 13 ),

wherein the first part ( 19 ) of the connecting assembly ( 8 ) is provided with a cutaway ( 21 ),

wherein the second part ( 22 ) of the connecting assembly ( 8 ) is provided with a lip ( 23 ),

wherein the lip ( 23 ) is inserted through the cutaway ( 21 ), and

a catch ( 24 ) is affixed to the lip ( 23 ) so that the lip ( 23 ) cannot slide out of the cutaway ( 21 ) thereby locking the first and second parts ( 19 , 22 ) of the connecting assembly ( 8 ) together.

2. The leaf according to claim 1 , wherein the second undercut flanks ( 16 ) are not present in at least one portion of the second groove ( 15 ) of the side profile ( 13 ).

3. The leaf according to claim 2 wherein the at least one hardware component is coupling ( 11 ) for a drive belt ( 7 ) or a drive chain.

4. The leaf according to claim 2 , wherein the at least one hardware component is lock plate ( 10 ) for a lock ( 9 ).

5. The leaf according to claim 1 , wherein the at least one hardware component includes a lock plate ( 10 ) for a lock ( 9 ).

6. The leaf according to claim 5 , wherein the at least one hardware component further includes a coupling ( 11 ) for a drive belt ( 7 ) or a drive chain.

7. A sliding window or sliding door ( 1 ), comprising:

a frame;

a leaf ( 4 ), the leaf ( 4 ) comprising:

a top profile ( 14 ),

a side profile ( 13 ) perpendicular to the top profile ( 14 ),

wherein a top of the top profile ( 14 ) has a first groove ( 15 ) with first undercut flanks ( 16 ) extending in a longitudinal direction of the top profile ( 14 ),

wherein the side profile ( 13 ) has a second groove ( 15 ) with second undercut flanks ( 16 ) extending in a longitudinal direction of the side profile ( 13 ),

a connecting assembly ( 8 ) comprising a first part ( 19 ) held in the top profile ( 14 ) and a second part ( 22 ) held in the side profile ( 13 ),

wherein at least one hardware component ( 10 , 11 ) is fastened to the first part ( 19 ) of the connecting assembly ( 8 ),

wherein the first part ( 19 ) has a shape that corresponds to the first groove ( 15 ) of the top profile ( 14 ) and that allows the first part ( 19 ) to slide in the first groove ( 15 ) of the top profile ( 14 ) in the longitudinal direction of the top profile,

wherein the second part ( 22 ) has a shape that corresponds to the second groove ( 15 ) of the side profile ( 13 ) and that allows the second part ( 22 ) to slide in the second groove ( 15 ) of the side profile ( 13 ) in the longitudinal direction of the side profile ( 13 ),

wherein the first part ( 19 ) of the connecting assembly ( 8 ) is provided with a cutaway ( 21 ),

wherein the second part ( 22 ) of the connecting assembly ( 8 ) is provided with a lip ( 23 ),

wherein the lip ( 23 ) is inserted through the cutaway ( 21 ),

a catch ( 24 ) is affixed to the lip ( 23 ) so that the lip ( 23 ) cannot slide out of the cutaway ( 21 ) thereby locking the first and second parts ( 19 , 22 ) of the connecting assembly ( 8 ) together,

wherein the at least one hardware component ( 10 , 11 ) includes a coupling ( 11 ) which is coupled to a drive belt or a drive chain;

a motor ( 5 ), wherein the leaf ( 4 ) is disposed in the frame ( 2 ), and

wherein the motor ( 5 ) is located within the frame ( 2 ) and is adapted to move the leaf ( 4 ) via the coupling ( 11 ) and the drive belt or the drive chain ( 7 ).
