Abstract

Abstract A process for the fitting of sections, particularly sections for metal carpentry, intended for the building of frames, the section being cut at 45*, comprising the steps of executing on the sections a local recessing of the cage in order to provide the sections with at least one notch and a corresponding number of oriented straps, inserting into each of the sections to be put together a fitting-element of an almost trapezoidal shape provided with at least one snug on the opposite side to the one provided with tenons and slots, the at least one snug serving the purpose of lateral guiding, this same element being also provided with a drilling perpendicular to the miter of the section cut at 45*, drilling to be found on the tenons and slots side and in the longitudinal axis of the section; bringing the at least one snug of the fitting element to the at least one corresponding notch provided on the section, at least one strap serving as guide for the purpose; fitting the sections together by joining the miters, and fitting the tenons and slots of the fitting element already inserted into the cage of a first section, into the slots and tenons of a similar fitting element previously placed in the cage of another section; introducing a tightening part into the drilling made on the two fitting elements, which in this manner prolong each other, and tightening the part into situ.

Claims Analysis

Total Claims: 6
Claim 1
Independent Claim 239 words
A process for the fitting of sections, particularly sections for metal carpentry, intended for the building of frames, the section being cut at 45*, comprising the following steps of: executing on the section a local recessing of the cage in order to provide the sections with at least one notch and a corresponding number of oriented straps; inserting into each of the sections to be put together a fitting-element of an almost trapezoidal shape provided with at least one snug on the opposite side to the one provided with tenons and slots, the at least one snug serving the purpose of lateral guiding, this same element being also provided with a drilling perpendicular to the mitre of the section cut at 45*, drilling to be found on the tenons and slots side and in the longitudinal axis of the section; bringing the at least one snug of the fitting-element to the at least one corresponding notch provided on the section, at least one strap serving as guides for the purpose; fitting the sections together by joining the mitres, and fitting the tenons and slotS of the fitting-element already inserted into the cage of a first section, into the slots and tenons of a similar fitting element previously placed in the cage of another section; introducing a tightening part into the drilling made on the two fitting-elements, which in this manner prolong each other, and tightening the part into situ.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim 239 words
A process for the fitting of sections, particularly sections for metal carpentry, intended for the building of frames, the section being cut at 45*, comprising the following steps of: executing on the section a local recessing of the cage in order to provide the sections with at least one notch and a corresponding number of oriented straps; inserting into each of the sections to be put together a fitting-element of an almost trapezoidal shape provided with at least one snug on the opposite side to the one provided with tenons and slots, the at least one snug serving the purpose of lateral guiding, this same element being also provided with a drilling perpendicular to the mitre of the section cut at 45*, drilling to be found on the tenons and slots side and in the longitudinal axis of the section; bringing the at least one snug of the fitting-element to the at least one corresponding notch provided on the section, at least one strap serving as guides for the purpose; fitting the sections together by joining the mitres, and fitting the tenons and slotS of the fitting-element already inserted into the cage of a first section, into the slots and tenons of a similar fitting element previously placed in the cage of another section; introducing a tightening part into the drilling made on the two fitting-elements, which in this manner prolong each other, and tightening the part into situ.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim 36 words
A process according to claim 1, comprising the step in the case of ''''open sections,'''' of a recessing of the two strips of the open cage, in order to obtain two notches and two oriented straps.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim 58 words
A process according to claim 1, comprising in the case of ''''tubular sections,'''' the step of a recessing on one of the large surfaces of the section, in order to obtain at least one notch and at least one strap, respectively, executing at the same time an axial drilling to allow for the insertion of the tightening piece.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim 31 words
A process according to claim 1, said at least one notch being two notches; said at least one snug being two snugs; said at least one strap being two straps, respectively.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim 29 words
A process according to claim 3, said at least one notch and said at least one strap in said step of recessing being two notches and two straps, respectively.
