Description

A building window that is used in a building wall is described.

Buildings, especially residential buildings, usually have windows. Windows can be designed differently, for example as fixed windows or as openable windows. Openable windows are usually designed to be pivotable, tiltable and / or slidable. Such windows usually have one or more window sashes which are movably arranged on a window frame. Conventional windows have the disadvantage that they offer a limited field of vision, as they are usually built into a common plane with the masonry. To expand the field of vision, bay windows and other porches such as winter gardens are known, which are complex in terms of statics, sealing and construction.

In times of dense living space in city centers, people have less and less living space on average. For the residents, this means that the small area means that they suffer limited options and restrictions in the usability of the space.

Solutions to increase the flexibility of usability are often sought, especially for small rooms, so that areas can be used multiple times, e.g. Living-dining room, living-bedroom etc. To achieve flexibility, some pieces of furniture are variable and can, for example, allow different uses through pull-out or fold-out elements. Furniture can also be slidable or rollable. Other solutions provide for partition walls to be designed to be movable in order to have enough space available for the respective use.

As a rule, there is an air space in the horizontal direction in front of a window on the outside of the building, which could be used under building regulations in many places.

With regard to windows, various solutions are known in which, for example, a window can be converted into a balcony. Such a solution is for example in the DE 60 2004 011 065 T2 described. Furthermore, windows with an accordion-like mechanism for displaying the same are known

From the DE 10 2009 023 149 B3 an outer wall system of a building is known that has a movable outer wall and a bearing for the movable outer wall. The movable outer wall separates an inner space from an accessible outer space and is reversibly adjustable between at least two closed positions and can be locked in each of the closed positions, the movable outer wall separating the inner space from the outside in each of the closed positions. The mounting is designed such that the movable outer wall is movable between an inner closed position and an outer closed position, and in the outer closed position at least part of the outer space merges into the inner space and thus increases its base area.

The disadvantage here is that a complete wall has to be moved to enlarge the living space.

Thus, the task arises of developing a building window of the type mentioned at the outset such that it allows variable use and an increase in the usability of a building equipped with a corresponding window.

The object is achieved by a building window according to claim 1. Further refinements are the subject of the dependent claims.

A building window is described with a window frame which is designed to be fixed on or in an opening in a building wall, the window frame having a first side and a second side, which are arranged on different sides of the building wall in the assembled state of the building window, and one Window module with at least one window, wherein the window module is arranged horizontally displaceably on the window frame by means of at least one guide, the window module being displaceable from an initial position in a first direction, which points from the first side to the second side of the window frame, with a stroke limiter for Limitation of the stroke of the window module in the first direction is provided.

In the case of an external window, the first side is an inside of the building, the second side an outside. The first side thus defines an interior space, the second side an exterior space. The window module can then be moved outwards, which increases the volume of space inside the building. For windows inside a building, the first and second sides define two different interiors.

A corresponding building window can be inserted into an existing wall opening or into an existing breakthrough and can thus be installed without extensive changes in the building fabric and often without the need for a building permit. The corresponding building window can thus in particular can also be retrofitted by replacing a conventional window with a building window described above.

The stroke limiter can be used to ensure that the window module cannot be pushed too far in the first direction. The stroke limitation can be designed differently depending on the further development and can be designed as a stop according to a first further refinement.

Such a building window can be installed in a residential building, a hall, a commercial building, a mixed-use building, in commercial buildings, etc., for example.

In another further refinement, it can be provided that the window module can be displaced from the starting position in a second direction opposite to the first direction, the maximum displacement path in the second direction being greater than or equal to the depth of the window module. The direction in which the window module is moved is referred to as the depth direction.

In order to support the window module in the position displaced in the second direction, support elements can be provided at one or more locations in the window module, e.g. Leveling feet, be or will be arranged.

In another refinement, it can be provided that the window frame has at least one flange for support on the building wall and / or for positioning the window frame, the flange being arranged on the first side. In this way, any torque generated by the shifting of the center of gravity of the building window to the outside can be supported on the masonry. The flange can support the assembly of the building window, since the flange represents a stop in the assembly position.

In another further refinement, at least one seal can be provided which seals the window frame and the window module from one another towards the second side. In addition or at the same time, the seal can also perform insulating functions. This can prevent moisture and / or drafts from penetrating as well as heat losses through the building window.

In another further refinement, it can be provided that the building window is sealed and insulated on the second side in all positions of the window module. For this purpose, several insulating elements and seals can be provided, for example sealing edges between the window frame and the masonry, as well as corresponding insulating volumes that can be filled with insulating foam, for example.

In a further embodiment, the window frame can be stiffened in order to be able to divert loads from an extended window module into the masonry.

In another further refinement, it can be provided that the window module has several sides, in particular five, of which at least one side has a window that is fixed or movable with respect to the window module. In particular, several sides of the window module can be equipped with windows that are partly fixed, partly movable, e.g. tiltable, can be executed. A view can thus be given in different directions when the window module is in an extended position in the first direction. In addition, the corresponding building window can be used for ventilation.

In another further refinement, it can be provided that the window module has a top side with a slope pointing in the first direction. This gradient prevents the build-up of water at the transition between the window module and the window frame, which increases the durability of the seal and at the same time reduces the risk of large amounts of rainwater ingress if the seal fails.

In another further refinement, it can be provided that the window module has an underside with a usable area, in particular a seating or lying area. In this way, the building window can be integrated into the room as an additional usable area, which increases the usability.

If the usable area is to be a seating or lying area, the underside in the interior area can be upholstered according to a further development. Padding can be permanently installed or designed as a removable insert.

In a further refinement that goes beyond this, an insert can be provided which can be inserted into the window frame when the window module is extended in the first direction. The insert can in particular have a height that compensates for a height difference between a bottom of the window frame and a bottom of the window module in order to create a flat surface. In particular, the insert can have a usable surface, in particular a seating and / or lying surface or a corresponding sitting or lying element.

The insert can extend into the window module on the underside in order to achieve a one-piece seating and lying surface.

According to a further embodiment, the insert can be plugged into rails, fastened to the window frame and / or the frame by means of Velcro fasteners, clips, screw connections and / or latching connections. Alternatively, the insert can be clamped.

In another further refinement, it can be provided that the insert is designed as a circumferential frame that rests on all inner sides of the window frame. The inside of the window frame are the sides facing each other. The frame can consist of individual elements.

Most windows are square in shape. In another further embodiment, the building window can have a special shape, e.g. as a round, semicircular, oval, trapezoidal window. The other developments described here can also be used for windows in special forms. In this way, on the one hand, further sealing and insulation of the building window and, on the other hand, an attractive appearance of the building window can be achieved.

In another further refinement, it can be provided that at least one guide rail is let into the window frame, the window module having at least one guide carriage guided in the guide rail. The guide rail and / or the guide carriage can be sealed or insulated in a further embodiment. In this way, the window module can be moved back and forth between the positions with little friction without impairing the seal. In the context of this embodiment, the stroke limitation can be defined by the length of the guide rail, provided that it is designed to be closed at the corresponding end.

In another further refinement, the building window can provide at least one drive for moving the window module. The drive can be electrical or mechanical, for example. An electric drive can for example have a motor. A stroke limitation can consist of a defined motor stroke, for example steps of a stepping motor, and / or a stop in the drive; it is also conceivable to switch off the drive using appropriate switches.

A mechanical drive can have a crank, for example.

The drive can be designed as a linear drive, for example, which has a spindle that is axially fixed relative to the window frame and rotatable by means of the crank or by means of a motor, the spindle cooperating with a non-self-locking internal thread fixed relative to the window module.
