Description
Window unit for windows in motor vehicl s and the like Glass windows in motor vehicles and the like are often provided with a plastic frame of a specific cross-sectional profile. This window unit is inserted into a predetermined opening of the motor vehicle, and fastened therein, with the aid of its frame. It is generally the case that the frame also serves, at the same time, for sealing the window unit with respect to the adjoining structural part.
The conventional window units are attached to the structural part by two methods. In one method, the frame is adhesively bonded to the edge region of the opening of the structural part. In the other method, the frame has profile sections which butt against the edge region of the opening of the structural part, on two sides which are directed away from one another, and secure the window unit on the structural part by positive locking.
One method has the disadvantage that the window unit cannot be separated from the structural part at all, or can only be separated therefrom with great difficulty and with corresponding outlay. This applies both for the case where the window unit is to be replaced and for the case where the motor vehicle and the window unit are to be disposed of separately, and in particular are to be fed to recycling. The other method of connecting the window unit and the structural part has the disadvantage that, for the purpose of producing the positive locking between the frame and the structural part, at least part of each of the profile sections of the frame have [sic] to be sufficiently compliant if the two parts are to be attached at al.l. This compliance of the relevant profile sections results in a severe limitationto the retaining force of said profile sections with respect to the structural part. Correspondingly low forces are thus sufficient in order to separate the window unit from the structural part.
The two methods of attaching the window unit to the structural part also have a further disadvantage in common. The frame, which is connected durably to the glass window, is generally produced from a thermoplastic polymer and, in a corresponding injection mold, is integrally formed directly on the glass window by injection molding. For this purpose, the glass window has to be provided beforehand with the bonding agent in the region of the frame. The frame is then connected durably to the glass window to such an extent that it is no longer possible for them to be separated from one another or they can only be separated from one another with untenably high outlay, and it is thus not possible for the glass window and the frame to be disposed of and fed to recycling separately from one another even if the window unit could be easily released from the structural part.

In the other method, the frame has profile sections which butt against the edge region of the opening of the structural part, on two sides which are directed away from one another, and secure the window unit on the structural part by positive locking.

This compliance of the relevant profile sections results in a severe limitationto the retaining force of said profile sections with respect to the structural part. Correspondingly low forces are thus sufficient in order to separate the window unit from the structural part.
The two methods of attaching the window unit to the structural part also have a further disadvantage in common. The frame, which is connected durably to the glass window, is generally produced from a thermoplastic polymer and, in a corresponding injection mold, is integrally formed directly on the glass window by injection molding. For this purpose, the glass window has to be provided beforehand with the bonding agent in the region of the frame. The frame is then connected durably to the glass window to such an extent that it is no longer possible for them to be separated from one another or they can only be separated from one another with untenably high outlay, and it is thus not possible for the glass window and the frame to be disposed of and fed to recycling separately from one another even if the window unit could be easily released from the structural part.
The outlined method of producing the window unit has the additional disadvantage that the bonding agent has to be heated to a temperature of approximately 120°C in order to be activated, on the one hand, with respect to the glass window and, on the other hand, with respect to the material of th.e frame. The plastic for the frame needs to be heated to approximately 200°C in order to be sufficiently free-flowing, and to fill the injection mold completely, without a very high molding pressure being necessary for this purpose. The glass window is subjected to this elevated temperature in the mold during the periods of time which the injected plastic requires in order to cool and thus solidify to the extent where the glass window can be removed, with the frame integrally formed thereon, from the mold without the frame being permanently deformed in the process.
In the case of laminated-glass windows for motor vehicles, there are provided two glass windows of the same shape which are attached purely mechanically to one another, with the interposition of a film, to form the laminated-glass window. This film consists of a thermoplastic polymer. The latter can only withstand a temperature of approximately 70° to 80°C. Under higher temperatures, it changes and becomes cloudy, with the result that, in the relevant surface regions, a laminated-glass window becomes opaque and unsightly. It is thus not possible for laminated-glass windows to be t . _ 4 provided with a frame by injection molding. The only alternative is the separate production of the frame, which is subsequently attached to the laminated-glass window by means of profile sections of corresponding configuration. This severely limits the retaining force between the frame and the laminated-glass window, irrespective of whether the frame and the structural part are connected durably by adhesive bonding or are attached by way of positive locking by means of compliant profile sections, likewise with only a limited retaining force.
The object of the invention is to provide a window unit in which the frame and the glass window, on the one hand, are attached t~o one another with a high retaining force and, on the other hand, can be easily released again from one another. This object is achieved by a window unit having the features specified in Claim 1.
Since the frame is formed from two profile parts, of which the primary profile part encloses the edge region of the glass window on three sides in a positively locking manner, it is possible to dispense with the use of a bonding agent, as a result of which, at a later stage, the frame can be released again from the glass window in order, for example, for the two parts to be disposed of separately from one another. Since the glass window is no longer provided with a bonding agent, it is not necessary for it to be heated to the activation temperature of said agent either. Rather, it can be positioned in the injection mold in the cold state. When the plastic far the primary profile part is injected, it only acts on the glass window briefly at the injection-molding temperature, because it immediately cools and sets on the cold glass window. The high dimensional stability of the primary profile part, on the one hand, ensures a high retaining force between the glass window and the frame, and the different way of encapsulating the edge of the glass window by injection molding, on the other hand, considerably reduces the thermal loading to which said window is subjected. As a result, even laminated-glass windows may be provided with such a frame. It is possible to provide on the secondary profile part such profile sections which, on account of the lower dimensional stability of their material, are sufficiently compliant and can thus form snug-fitting sealing strips. The two profile parts can be connected to one another by positive locking. However, it is more straightforward and expedient for the secondary profile part to be integrally formed on the primary profile part.
Even if this requires a higher processing temperature, the thermal loading to which the glass window is subjected is considerably lower since said window is screened by the material of the primary profile part, which material in any case only butts closely against, but is not bonded to, the glass window.
In the first-mentioned case of the connection of the two profile parts, a configuration according to the following is expedient:
the secondary profile part (15) is produced from a plastic material not bonding with the material of the primary profile part (14), the secondary profile part (15) encloses the primary profile part (14), at least in certain sections, to an extent where there is positive locking between the two profile parts (14; 15) .
In the last-mentioned case, a configuration according to the following is expedient: the primary profile part and the secondary profile part (34; 35) are produced from same type of plastic, the plastic for the primary profile part (34) and the secondary profile part (35) is polypropylene, polyurethane, polyamide or polyvinyl chloride.
In the case of a configuration according to the following:
there is provided a further profile part (81) , which is designed and arranged such that during elastic deformation of this profile part (81), or at least of a profile section (82), it is possible to produce positive locking with a structural part ( 76 ) , the window unit can be connected to the structural part by elastic deformation of a section of its frame profile. Such a window unit is thus suitable for replacing conventional window units in which the frame and the glass window are adhesively bonded to one another.
A configuration according to the following: provided on the primary profile part (54) are selected from the group consisting - 6a -of fastening elements (57), anchoring elements (58), and combinations thereof, by means of which a frame (52) can be connected to a structural part (56) achieves a comparatively high retaining force between the window unit and the structural part. In the case of such a development, the fastening elements or anchoring elements may be produced together with the frame.
The window unit may be connected to the structural part on the structural part [sic], for example, by plastic deformation of the fastening elements, if appropriate under the action of heat.
A configuration according to the following: there are provided further fastening elements (38), made of a same material or a different material, which, can be connected to the fastening elements present on the primary profile part (54) by positive looking or by a bond of materials or anchoring members (36) or by both of them connects the window unit to the structural part with the use of additional fastening elements, which interact with the fastening elements integrally formed on the frame and which may be designed, for example, as self-cutting nuts or as locking plates.
7 _ The invention is explained in more detail hereinbelow with reference to a number of exemplary embodiments illustrated in the drawing, in which:
Figure 1 shows a cross-sectional detail of a window unit with a first exemplary embodiment of the frame;
Figure 2 shows a cross-sectional detail of a window unit with a further exemplary embodiment of the frame together with a structural part;
Figure 3 shows a cross-sectional detail of a window unit with a third exemplary embodiment of the frame together with a structural part; and Figure 4 shows a cross-sectional detail of a window unit with a fourth exemplary embodiment of the frame together with a structural part.
The window unit 10, which can be seen from Figure 1, is formed by a glass window 11 and a frame 12, which extends along the edge 13 of the glass window 11 and forms a continuous ring. The glass window can be made of silicate glass or of acrylic glass.
The frame 12 is designed as a compression molding. It is formed by two profile parts, to be precise the primary profile part 14 and the secondary profile part 15.
The primary profile part 14 has three profile sections, which together give an at least approximately U-shaped overall profile. The first profile section 16 is adjacent to the edge 13 of the glass window 11. The second profile _ g _ section 17 and the third profile section 18 each adjoin one side of the first profile section 16 and are closely adjacent to that surface region of the glass window 11 which borders the edge 13.
Possible materials for the primary profile part 14 are polypropylene, polyurethane, polyamide or polyvinyl chloride. For the primary profile part 14, these plastics are used in a quality with a sufficiently high flexural modules, of at least 1,000 N/mma for the primary profile part 14 to be of a sufficiently high dimensional stability and to ensure, between the glass window 11 and the frame 12, positive locking which is only overcome by the primary profile part 14, or at least one of its lateral profile sections, being destroyed.
The primary profile part 14 is produced in an injection mold by the edge region of the glass window 11 being encapsulated by injection molding. No bonding agent is used in this process, with the result that the primary profile part 14 does butt against the edge region of the glass window 11, but is not firmly bonded thereto.
Provided on the primary profile part 14 are a number of fastening elements 19 which are distributed along the edge region of the glass window 11 in accordance with a predetermined distribution pattern. They are formed, for example as cylindrical pegs, on the inside of the window unit 10 , i . a . on the side which is directed toward the structural part (not illustrated), and, as such, are aligned parallel to one another. They adjoin the profile section 18 of the primary profile part 14, to be precise they are integrally formed thereon. These fastening elements 19 serve the purpose, when the window unit 10 is installed in the structural part, of being fitted into and/or through recesses in the structural part which are adapted to said elements. Provided that these recesses have not already been configured so as to provide sufficient frictional locking once the fastening elements 19 have been introduced, it is expedient to use additional fastening elements, e.g. in the form of self-cutting nuts or in the form of securing plates, which are screwed or fitted onto the peg-like fastening elements 19 and thus produce positive locking.
The secondary profile part 15 has a function which differs from that of the primary profile part 14. It serves, in particular, for the close abutment of the frame 12 against the associated structural part and also for sealing the window unit 10 with respect to the structural part, with the result that it is not possible for any water and/or dirt to penetrate, between the structural part and the frame 12 of the window unit 10, into the interior of the structural part. For this purpose, the secondary profile part 15 is produced from a thermoplastic polymer which has a hardness of less than 90 Shore A.
Provided on the secondary profile part 15 are profile sections 21 and 22 which are shaped such that, in the initial state or rest state, they project into a profile region which, once the window unit 10 has been installed, is at least partly taken up by the structural part, with the result that said profile sections are elastically deformed in parts in the process and, on account of the compliance of their material, fit snugly against the structural part and, in this way, provide good sealing.
If such a profile section, for example the profile section 21, projects to a comparatively great extent, it is expedient for the root region of the profile section 21, which acts as sealing strip, to be reinforced and stiffened by a profile section 23 which projects into the cross-sectional region of the profile section 21 and belongs to the primary profile part 14.
For the reasons explained, use is made, for the secondary profile part 15, of a plastic which has greater compliance than the material of the primary profile part 14, and thus generally is also of lower dimensional stability. It is possible, in principle, to use the same type of plastic as that used for the primary profile part 14, the material properties being adapted correspondingly. In this case, the secondary profile part 15 may be produced, and at the same time connected durably to the primary profile part 14, in that the glass window, with the primary profile part 14 which has been fitted thereon beforehand, is positioned in a correspondingly configured injection mold, and the remaining injection-mold cavity which is adapted for the secondary profile part 15 is filled with the material for said secondary profile part 15. In this case, intimate bonding of the materials of the primary profile part and the secondary profile part takes place at the contact surfaces between the two profile parts. The latter are, as it were, welded to one another.
In the case of-- this method of producing and connecting the two profile parts, it is sufficient if the secondary profile part 15 adjoins the primary profile part 14 at least over a part of the periphery line of the latter. If the plastics of the two profile parts do not bond with one another, it should be ensured that the secondary profile part encloses, or engages around, the primary profile part to the extent where, at least in certain sections, there is positive locking between the secondary profile part and the primary profile part along the linear extent of the frame. The normal profile shape of the primary profile part can be used for this purpose.
However, it is also possible for individual anchoring elements to be integrally formed on the primary profile part, these later being enclosed by the secondary profile part.
In the case of the frame 12 which can be seen from Figure 1, the secondary profile part 15 is configured such that, with the exception of those profile regions in which the glass window 11 and the peg-like fastening elements 19 are located, it fully encloses the primary profile part 14. In the surface regions in which the secondary profile part 15 extends as far as the glass window 11, no bonding agent is used, so that it is also the case that this profile part only butts against the glass window 11, but is not connected thereto.
In the case of the profile configuration which can be seen from Figure 1, use may be made, for the two profile parts, of plastics which bond with one another and of plastics which do not bond with one another.
The window unit 30, which can be seen from Figure 2, is formed by the glass window 31 and the frame 32. In the region of its edge 33, the glass window 31 is enclosed on three sides by the primary profile part 34, which butts closely against the glass window 31, but is not firmly connected thereto. The primary profile part 34 is enclosed, over a part of its profile periphery, by the secondary profile part 35. The plastics for the two profile parts 34 and 35 are of the same type, with the result that, when it is produced, the secondary profile part 35 bonds with the plastic of the primary profile part 34.
Once again, th.e primary profile part 34 is provided with a number of peg-like fastening elements 36. They are each fitted through. a recess of a structural part 37 on which the window unit 30 is provided. In each case one locking plate 38 is fitted onto the peg-like fastening elements 36, and the retaining tongues thereof clamp firmly on the fastening element 36. Instead of such metal locking plates, it is also possible to use plastic plug-on caps, which are adhesively bonded or welded to the peg-like fastening elements 36.
Provided, once again, on one side of the secondary profile part 35 is a projecting profile section 39, which is configured such that, when the window unit 30 is installed in the structural part 37, it deforms elastically to a slight extent and thus fits snugly against the structural part 37 and acts as a sealing strip.
The frame 32 is also provided with an additional seal in the form of a peripheral sealing band 41 which is made of foam rubber and, on that side of the primary profile part 34 which is directed toward the structural part 37, is adhesively bonded on an abutment surface adapted thereto.
When the window unit 30 is installed in the structural part 37, the frame 32 is forced against the structural part 37 to such an extent that the sealing band 41 is elastically deformed in part. It is only after this that the locking plates 38 are pushed onto the fastening elements 36.
The window unit 50, which can be seen from Figure 3, is formed by the glass window 51 and the frame 52. Once again, the frame 52 is formed by the primary profile part 54 and the secondary profile part 55.
A number of fastening elements 57 and anchoring elements 58 are arranged on that side of the primary profile part 54 which is directed toward the structural part 56.
The fastening elements 57 are designed as cylindrical hollow weld pegs which, once they have been fitted through a recess of the structural part 56, are plastically deformed under the action of heat such that, just like a tubular rivet, they form a collar in the vicinity of the recess of the structural part 56, and thus produce positive locking between the fastening peg 57 and the structural part 56.
The anchoring elements 58 are likewise peg-like profile sections, which are provided on one side with one or more hook noses 59. In this case, the recesses in the structural part 56 are adapted to the anchoring elements 58 such that, when fitted into the recesses, the latter can yield elastically by way of their hook noses 59, and that, during the subsequent spring-back action, the hook noses 59 engage behind the edge of the recess of the structural part 56.
On the frame 52, it is possible to use either just the fastening elements 57 or just the anchoring elements 58, or, in individual sections of the frame 52, it is possible to use the fastening elements in some cases and the anchoring elements in other cases, in order thus to make it easier to fulfill special requirements regarding the connection of the window unit 50 to the structural part 56.
A plurality of profile sections which serve for the abutment of the frame 52 against the structural part 56 are provided on the secondary profile part 55. The profile sections 61 and 62 are of relatively long length, and thus have a greater elastic compliance, with the result that they can act as sealing strips. The shorter profile section 63 serves more for the abutment of the frame 52 against the structural. part 56. As regards the compliance of its material, or the capacity thereof for providing a snug f it , said shorter profile section 63 may also act as a seal.
The window unit 70, which can be seen from Figure 4, is s - 16 -formed by the glass window 71 and the frame 72.
The edge 73 and the adjoining surface regions of the glass window 71 are enclosed by the primary profile part 74, which butts closely against said window, but is not firmly connected thereto. With the exception of the region of the glass window 71, the primary profile part 74 is enclosed all the way around by the secondary profile part 75. In this case, a.t is possible to have straightforward positive locking if the plastics of the two profile parts do not bond with one another. With an appropriate selection of materials, however, the two profile parts may also be durably connected to one another by virtue of the materials being welded.
There are no fastening and/or anchoring elements on the primary profile part 74. Apart from this, said profile part is designed largely in the same way as the primary profile part 54 of the frame 52 (Figure 3) . It is also the case that the secondary profile part 75 is designed largely in the same way as the secondary profile part 55 of the frame 52 and, on the sides which are directed toward the structural part 76, it has the profile section [sic] 77, 78 and 79, which serve for sealing purposes with respect to the structural part 76 or for abutment against said structural part.
In the region of the edge of the opening of the a , , _ 17 _ structural part 76, said opening being closed off by the window unit 70, the secondary profile part 75 is adjoined by a further profile part 81, which is made of the same plastic and is produced together with the secondary profile part 75.
The further profile part 81 has a profile section 82 which is spaced apart from the adjacent profile section of the secondary profile part 75 by a small distance, with the result that a narrow slit 83 is provided therebetween, an edge section 84 of the structural part 76 engaging in said slit once the window unit 70 has been installed. For this purpose, the profile section 82 of the further profile part 81 is designed to be elastically compliant to the extent where, in a known manner, it can be drawn up, in certain sections, under the edge section 84 of the structural part 76, by means of a cord which has previously been placed in the slit 83, whereupon, on account of its elasticity, said profile section 82 positions itself against the outside of the edge section 84 and thus secures the window unit 70 against the structural part 76.
In the case of laminated-glass windows for motor vehicles, there are provided two glass windows of the same shape which are attached purely mechanically to one another, with the interposition of a film, to form the laminated-glass window. This film consists of a thermoplastic polymer. The latter can only withstand a temperature of approximately 70° to 80°C. Under higher temperatures, it changes and becomes cloudy, with the result that, in the relevant surface regions, a laminated-glass window becomes opaque and unsightly. It is thus not possible for laminated-glass windows to be t . _ 4 provided with a frame by injection molding. The only alternative is the separate production of the frame, which is subsequently attached to the laminated-glass window by means of profile sections of corresponding configuration. This severely limits the retaining force between the frame and the laminated-glass window, irrespective of whether the frame and the structural part are connected durably by adhesive bonding or are attached by way of positive locking by means of compliant profile sections, likewise with only a limited retaining force.
The object of the invention is to provide a window unit in which the frame and the glass window, on the one hand, are attached t~o one another with a high retaining force and, on the other hand, can be easily released again from one another. This object is achieved by a window unit having the features specified in Claim 1.
Since the frame is formed from two profile parts, of which the primary profile part encloses the edge region of the glass window on three sides in a positively locking manner, it is possible to dispense with the use of a bonding agent, as a result of which, at a later stage, the frame can be released again from the glass window in order, for example, for the two parts to be disposed of separately from one another. Since the glass window is no longer provided with a bonding agent, it is not necessary for it to be heated to the activation temperature of said agent either. Rather, it can be positioned in the injection mold in the cold state. When the plastic far the primary profile part is injected, it only acts on the glass window briefly at the injection-molding temperature, because it immediately cools and sets on the cold glass window. The high dimensional stability of the primary profile part, on the one hand, ensures a high retaining force between the glass window and the frame, and the different way of encapsulating the edge of the glass window by injection molding, on the other hand, considerably reduces the thermal loading to which said window is subjected. As a result, even laminated-glass windows may be provided with such a frame. It is possible to provide on the secondary profile part such profile sections which, on account of the lower dimensional stability of their material, are sufficiently compliant and can thus form snug-fitting sealing strips. The two profile parts can be connected to one another by positive locking. However, it is more straightforward and expedient for the secondary profile part to be integrally formed on the primary profile part.
Even if this requires a higher processing temperature, the thermal loading to which the glass window is subjected is considerably lower since said window is screened by the material of the primary profile part, which material in any case only butts closely against, but is not bonded to, the glass window.
In the first-mentioned case of the connection of the two profile parts, a configuration according to the following is expedient:
the secondary profile part (15) is produced from a plastic material not bonding with the material of the primary profile part (14), the secondary profile part (15) encloses the primary profile part (14), at least in certain sections, to an extent where there is positive locking between the two profile parts (14; 15) .
In the last-mentioned case, a configuration according to the following is expedient: the primary profile part and the secondary profile part (34; 35) are produced from same type of plastic, the plastic for the primary profile part (34) and the secondary profile part (35) is polypropylene, polyurethane, polyamide or polyvinyl chloride.
In the case of a configuration according to the following:
there is provided a further profile part (81) , which is designed and arranged such that during elastic deformation of this profile part (81), or at least of a profile section (82), it is possible to produce positive locking with a structural part ( 76 ) , the window unit can be connected to the structural part by elastic deformation of a section of its frame profile. Such a window unit is thus suitable for replacing conventional window units in which the frame and the glass window are adhesively bonded to one another.
A configuration according to the following: provided on the primary profile part (54) are selected from the group consisting - 6a -of fastening elements (57), anchoring elements (58), and combinations thereof, by means of which a frame (52) can be connected to a structural part (56) achieves a comparatively high retaining force between the window unit and the structural part. In the case of such a development, the fastening elements or anchoring elements may be produced together with the frame.
The window unit may be connected to the structural part on the structural part [sic], for example, by plastic deformation of the fastening elements, if appropriate under the action of heat.
A configuration according to the following: there are provided further fastening elements (38), made of a same material or a different material, which, can be connected to the fastening elements present on the primary profile part (54) by positive looking or by a bond of materials or anchoring members (36) or by both of them connects the window unit to the structural part with the use of additional fastening elements, which interact with the fastening elements integrally formed on the frame and which may be designed, for example, as self-cutting nuts or as locking plates.
7 _ The invention is explained in more detail hereinbelow with reference to a number of exemplary embodiments illustrated in the drawing, in which:
Figure 1 shows a cross-sectional detail of a window unit with a first exemplary embodiment of the frame;
Figure 2 shows a cross-sectional detail of a window unit with a further exemplary embodiment of the frame together with a structural part;
Figure 3 shows a cross-sectional detail of a window unit with a third exemplary embodiment of the frame together with a structural part; and Figure 4 shows a cross-sectional detail of a window unit with a fourth exemplary embodiment of the frame together with a structural part.
The window unit 10, which can be seen from Figure 1, is formed by a glass window 11 and a frame 12, which extends along the edge 13 of the glass window 11 and forms a continuous ring. The glass window can be made of silicate glass or of acrylic glass.
The frame 12 is designed as a compression molding. It is formed by two profile parts, to be precise the primary profile part 14 and the secondary profile part 15.
The primary profile part 14 has three profile sections, which together give an at least approximately U-shaped overall profile. The first profile section 16 is adjacent to the edge 13 of the glass window 11. The second profile _ g _ section 17 and the third profile section 18 each adjoin one side of the first profile section 16 and are closely adjacent to that surface region of the glass window 11 which borders the edge 13.
Possible materials for the primary profile part 14 are polypropylene, polyurethane, polyamide or polyvinyl chloride. For the primary profile part 14, these plastics are used in a quality with a sufficiently high flexural modules, of at least 1,000 N/mma for the primary profile part 14 to be of a sufficiently high dimensional stability and to ensure, between the glass window 11 and the frame 12, positive locking which is only overcome by the primary profile part 14, or at least one of its lateral profile sections, being destroyed.
The primary profile part 14 is produced in an injection mold by the edge region of the glass window 11 being encapsulated by injection molding. No bonding agent is used in this process, with the result that the primary profile part 14 does butt against the edge region of the glass window 11, but is not firmly bonded thereto.
Provided on the primary profile part 14 are a number of fastening elements 19 which are distributed along the edge region of the glass window 11 in accordance with a predetermined distribution pattern. They are formed, for example as cylindrical pegs, on the inside of the window unit 10 , i . a . on the side which is directed toward the structural part (not illustrated), and, as such, are aligned parallel to one another. They adjoin the profile section 18 of the primary profile part 14, to be precise they are integrally formed thereon. These fastening elements 19 serve the purpose, when the window unit 10 is installed in the structural part, of being fitted into and/or through recesses in the structural part which are adapted to said elements. Provided that these recesses have not already been configured so as to provide sufficient frictional locking once the fastening elements 19 have been introduced, it is expedient to use additional fastening elements, e.g. in the form of self-cutting nuts or in the form of securing plates, which are screwed or fitted onto the peg-like fastening elements 19 and thus produce positive locking.
The secondary profile part 15 has a function which differs from that of the primary profile part 14. It serves, in particular, for the close abutment of the frame 12 against the associated structural part and also for sealing the window unit 10 with respect to the structural part, with the result that it is not possible for any water and/or dirt to penetrate, between the structural part and the frame 12 of the window unit 10, into the interior of the structural part. For this purpose, the secondary profile part 15 is produced from a thermoplastic polymer which has a hardness of less than 90 Shore A.
Provided on the secondary profile part 15 are profile sections 21 and 22 which are shaped such that, in the initial state or rest state, they project into a profile region which, once the window unit 10 has been installed, is at least partly taken up by the structural part, with the result that said profile sections are elastically deformed in parts in the process and, on account of the compliance of their material, fit snugly against the structural part and, in this way, provide good sealing.
If such a profile section, for example the profile section 21, projects to a comparatively great extent, it is expedient for the root region of the profile section 21, which acts as sealing strip, to be reinforced and stiffened by a profile section 23 which projects into the cross-sectional region of the profile section 21 and belongs to the primary profile part 14.
For the reasons explained, use is made, for the secondary profile part 15, of a plastic which has greater compliance than the material of the primary profile part 14, and thus generally is also of lower dimensional stability. It is possible, in principle, to use the same type of plastic as that used for the primary profile part 14, the material properties being adapted correspondingly. In this case, the secondary profile part 15 may be produced, and at the same time connected durably to the primary profile part 14, in that the glass window, with the primary profile part 14 which has been fitted thereon beforehand, is positioned in a correspondingly configured injection mold, and the remaining injection-mold cavity which is adapted for the secondary profile part 15 is filled with the material for said secondary profile part 15. In this case, intimate bonding of the materials of the primary profile part and the secondary profile part takes place at the contact surfaces between the two profile parts. The latter are, as it were, welded to one another.
In the case of-- this method of producing and connecting the two profile parts, it is sufficient if the secondary profile part 15 adjoins the primary profile part 14 at least over a part of the periphery line of the latter. If the plastics of the two profile parts do not bond with one another, it should be ensured that the secondary profile part encloses, or engages around, the primary profile part to the extent where, at least in certain sections, there is positive locking between the secondary profile part and the primary profile part along the linear extent of the frame. The normal profile shape of the primary profile part can be used for this purpose.
However, it is also possible for individual anchoring elements to be integrally formed on the primary profile part, these later being enclosed by the secondary profile part.
In the case of the frame 12 which can be seen from Figure 1, the secondary profile part 15 is configured such that, with the exception of those profile regions in which the glass window 11 and the peg-like fastening elements 19 are located, it fully encloses the primary profile part 14. In the surface regions in which the secondary profile part 15 extends as far as the glass window 11, no bonding agent is used, so that it is also the case that this profile part only butts against the glass window 11, but is not connected thereto.
In the case of the profile configuration which can be seen from Figure 1, use may be made, for the two profile parts, of plastics which bond with one another and of plastics which do not bond with one another.
The window unit 30, which can be seen from Figure 2, is formed by the glass window 31 and the frame 32. In the region of its edge 33, the glass window 31 is enclosed on three sides by the primary profile part 34, which butts closely against the glass window 31, but is not firmly connected thereto. The primary profile part 34 is enclosed, over a part of its profile periphery, by the secondary profile part 35. The plastics for the two profile parts 34 and 35 are of the same type, with the result that, when it is produced, the secondary profile part 35 bonds with the plastic of the primary profile part 34.
Once again, th.e primary profile part 34 is provided with a number of peg-like fastening elements 36. They are each fitted through. a recess of a structural part 37 on which the window unit 30 is provided. In each case one locking plate 38 is fitted onto the peg-like fastening elements 36, and the retaining tongues thereof clamp firmly on the fastening element 36. Instead of such metal locking plates, it is also possible to use plastic plug-on caps, which are adhesively bonded or welded to the peg-like fastening elements 36.
Provided, once again, on one side of the secondary profile part 35 is a projecting profile section 39, which is configured such that, when the window unit 30 is installed in the structural part 37, it deforms elastically to a slight extent and thus fits snugly against the structural part 37 and acts as a sealing strip.
The frame 32 is also provided with an additional seal in the form of a peripheral sealing band 41 which is made of foam rubber and, on that side of the primary profile part 34 which is directed toward the structural part 37, is adhesively bonded on an abutment surface adapted thereto.
When the window unit 30 is installed in the structural part 37, the frame 32 is forced against the structural part 37 to such an extent that the sealing band 41 is elastically deformed in part. It is only after this that the locking plates 38 are pushed onto the fastening elements 36.
The window unit 50, which can be seen from Figure 3, is formed by the glass window 51 and the frame 52. Once again, the frame 52 is formed by the primary profile part 54 and the secondary profile part 55.
A number of fastening elements 57 and anchoring elements 58 are arranged on that side of the primary profile part 54 which is directed toward the structural part 56.
The fastening elements 57 are designed as cylindrical hollow weld pegs which, once they have been fitted through a recess of the structural part 56, are plastically deformed under the action of heat such that, just like a tubular rivet, they form a collar in the vicinity of the recess of the structural part 56, and thus produce positive locking between the fastening peg 57 and the structural part 56.
The anchoring elements 58 are likewise peg-like profile sections, which are provided on one side with one or more hook noses 59. In this case, the recesses in the structural part 56 are adapted to the anchoring elements 58 such that, when fitted into the recesses, the latter can yield elastically by way of their hook noses 59, and that, during the subsequent spring-back action, the hook noses 59 engage behind the edge of the recess of the structural part 56.
On the frame 52, it is possible to use either just the fastening elements 57 or just the anchoring elements 58, or, in individual sections of the frame 52, it is possible to use the fastening elements in some cases and the anchoring elements in other cases, in order thus to make it easier to fulfill special requirements regarding the connection of the window unit 50 to the structural part 56.
A plurality of profile sections which serve for the abutment of the frame 52 against the structural part 56 are provided on the secondary profile part 55. The profile sections 61 and 62 are of relatively long length, and thus have a greater elastic compliance, with the result that they can act as sealing strips. The shorter profile section 63 serves more for the abutment of the frame 52 against the structural. part 56. As regards the compliance of its material, or the capacity thereof for providing a snug f it , said shorter profile section 63 may also act as a seal.
The window unit 70, which can be seen from Figure 4, is s - 16 -formed by the glass window 71 and the frame 72.
The edge 73 and the adjoining surface regions of the glass window 71 are enclosed by the primary profile part 74, which butts closely against said window, but is not firmly connected thereto. With the exception of the region of the glass window 71, the primary profile part 74 is enclosed all the way around by the secondary profile part 75. In this case, a.t is possible to have straightforward positive locking if the plastics of the two profile parts do not bond with one another. With an appropriate selection of materials, however, the two profile parts may also be durably connected to one another by virtue of the materials being welded.
There are no fastening and/or anchoring elements on the primary profile part 74. Apart from this, said profile part is designed largely in the same way as the primary profile part 54 of the frame 52 (Figure 3) . It is also the case that the secondary profile part 75 is designed largely in the same way as the secondary profile part 55 of the frame 52 and, on the sides which are directed toward the structural part 76, it has the profile section [sic] 77, 78 and 79, which serve for sealing purposes with respect to the structural part 76 or for abutment against said structural part.
In the region of the edge of the opening of the a , , _ 17 _ structural part 76, said opening being closed off by the window unit 70, the secondary profile part 75 is adjoined by a further profile part 81, which is made of the same plastic and is produced together with the secondary profile part 75.
The further profile part 81 has a profile section 82 which is spaced apart from the adjacent profile section of the secondary profile part 75 by a small distance, with the result that a narrow slit 83 is provided therebetween, an edge section 84 of the structural part 76 engaging in said slit once the window unit 70 has been installed. For this purpose, the profile section 82 of the further profile part 81 is designed to be elastically compliant to the extent where, in a known manner, it can be drawn up, in certain sections, under the edge section 84 of the structural part 76, by means of a cord which has previously been placed in the slit 83, whereupon, on account of its elasticity, said profile section 82 positions itself against the outside of the edge section 84 and thus secures the window unit 70 against the structural part 76.
