Abstract:
1. An apparatus comprising a glazing provided with an encasement pivotally mounted about a pivot axis in a fixed opening frame, said glazing having an inner face and an outer face, said inner and outer faces being respectively positioned inside and outside a building in a closed position of the encasement, said encasement being arranged so as to enable the glazing to pivot about said pivot axis by 180 degrees, said encasement being sealable and lockable with respect to the frame, characterized in that the fixed opening frame includes one inner frame element and one outer frame element each having a quadrangular shape, said frame elements being formed by rectilinear segments and positioned against each other, the inner frame element being closer to the inside of the building relative to the outer frame element, in that said pivot axis of the encasement is borne by the outer frame element, in that the encasement includes segments, each provided with two first opposite flanges used for guiding and holding said glazing in the encasement, said first flanges being parallel to a vertical plane defined by the glazing and said pivot axis disposed between said two first opposite flanges, each of said encasement segments further including two second opposite flanges, each one of said second flanges being perpendicular to said vertical plane, a respective pair of said two second opposite flanges being symmetrical relative to said vertical plane and each of said second flanges being provided with a groove filled by a sealing member, for each of said respective pair of said second opposite flanges one of said grooves being positioned closer to the inside of the building relative to the other groove when the encasement is in said closed position, and in that the inner frame element is provided with mobile flat blades mounted on said rectilinear segments of said inner frame element, said mobile flat blades each define a surface and are moveable parallel to said pivot axis between a first position and a second position, said mobile flat blades being closer to said second flanges in the second position than in the first position and cooperating in said second position with said sealing members of said closer grooves when the encasement is in said closed position so as to provide the sealing of the encasement with respect to the frame.
