OBTURATING STRUCTURES AND PARTS THEREOF

摘要

The present invention relates to a window structure comprising a frame capable of being secured to a window opening, and hinges and latches fitted in the frame. The frame is preferably made up of an aluminum profile having the same cross section all around the frame. A substantial part of the profile consists of the interior part which receives the pane and has the shape of an open tube. Both the hinge and the latch are fitted in the open tube, to which they attach rotatably without any furniture or other fastening means. Both the hinges and the latches can be simply pressed into the open tube and be removed from it without dismantling the window structure in any way. Owing to the symmetry of the window structure the left- or right-handedness of the window can be determined as late as at the installation stage. The invention also relates to a hinge and a latch functioning in an open-tube-shaped frame structure. The invention further relates to a cover profile for the frame part of a window structure or the like. The object of this part of the invention is to provide an inexpensive and easily installable cover profile, which can be adjusted without steps so that the same profile can be used between the window frame part and the adjacent wall or the adjacent window even if this clearance varies in width. This is implemented by using a cover profile according to the invention, at least one edge of which is flat and intended to be pushed into a pocket-like opening in the frame part. The cover profile according to the invention can also be shaped to form a drip sheet for the window.
