Description

The Invention relates to a security window according to the preamble of Protection claim 1.

The Security of people and property against attacks is experienced increasing importance. Accordingly, there are security windows in diverse versions known and in use, for example, the secured building Secure against burglary and / or the effects of explosives. What is common to these security window designs is that they mostly unite optically unsightly Leave an impression. The thickness of the safety glass panes as well as due to the high weight of the safety glass panes, as well as the deposits usually required in the frame frame thicknesses such security window in an unfavorable manner. Let it be optically negative influences in modern buildings compensate, however, such compensation is historical or listed buildings rather difficult. However, there is a claim to such structures to protect against external influences. Significant difficulties have been shown, especially in listed buildings, where mostly windows are used, which are separated by lattice frames are separated. Here must several safety glass panes fixed against each other in a narrow space be, the requirements for interchangeability of individual Safety glass panes must be taken into account. A simple glue or an unsolvable Fastening of safety glasses, like this with conventional Glasses, for example is possible by nailed window strips, can not here be implemented.

The The object of the invention is to create a security window develop the necessary security classes against external External influences fulfilled and also the interchangeability of the safety glass panes in easier Way. About that in addition, the invention was intended to create the possibility Security stronger especially for listed building to be able to use.

The Task is due to the technical characteristics of the protection claim 1 solved.

Further Embodiments of the invention are given in the subsequent subclaims.

Corresponding the presented invention proposes a security window, which has a window frame in which at least one casement with safety glass panes included therein, the Develop shape that the edge of the safety glass panes from one in the casement recorded reinforcing element is held. The reinforcing element has a first contact surface to put on the safety glass and a corresponding second one contact area to fix the safety glass on the reinforcing element. The fixation the safety glass on the reinforcing element is preferred a detachable connection represent what is made possible by a fuse link used for this purpose.

With the solution according to the invention can the installation of safety-relevant safety glasses in simple Way become. An external attack from the outside through which the safety glass panes removed from the sash frame carrying them is excluded. This is due to that in the casement integrated reinforcement element, that's a contact area the surface of the safety glass, effectively prevented. The simple and uncomplicated assembly of the safety glass panes in such a way Security windows also allow a cost-effective option for various security glass panes mount side by side in a security window like this especially for Security window with rungs makes sense. These are preferred in listed buildings for Deployed, so that such buildings or those in them located people can be effectively protected.

According to one Embodiment of the invention is proposed, a security window To provide, which is designed as a sliding window. Accordingly points this window has at least two casements with housed therein Safety glass panes, at least one of the casement in one to the other casement parallel planes is slidably disposed in the window frame. Also for this embodiment the safety glass panes according to the invention by means of a reinforcing element attach that a first contact surface to the safety glass and a corresponding second contact surface for fixing the safety glass on the reinforcing element having.

In order to be able to insert the reinforcement element into the frame parts in a manner that is not visually visible, it is particularly advantageous if the reinforcement element has an approximately L-shape when viewed in cross section, the leg of the reinforcement element projecting at right angles from the contact surface of the safety glass pane being the first contact surface and at least one , after inserting the safety glass pane, this safety element, which attaches to the reinforcing element, has or forms the second contact surface. The Si Fuse member, which has or forms the second contact surface, can preferably be releasably attached. However, a material connection is also conceivable.

consequently the securing member can be a screw, a sword, a rivet, a Pen or one applied after inserting the safety glass pane Adhesive or weld seam his.

are for the Securing a historic building Security windows that have rungs are required it to increase the security of such security windows is particularly advantageous if the casement at least one rung with one from the outside of the security window not have visible safety insert. The so designed From the outside, security windows give the impression that as if it the well-known historical security window with rung arrangements wooden. In the wood-based material, however, the aforementioned safety insert is used introduced and complete covered by the wooden pad, so that a visually appealing design is guaranteed. Just as the rungs can have safety deposits it advantageous with the casement to provide such security deposits.

to increase the overall security of the security window according to the one presented here Invention comes over it in addition, the safety deposits of the rungs and the the casement connect with each other. Such an integrated network of several or all Securing deposits, which can also include the reinforcing elements, increases overall stability of the security window according to the invention to a considerable extent.

For the sliding window versions Security window according to the invention it is necessary to slide at least one of the casement frames. In the contact area between the casement there should be at least one seal, the safety glass pane is sealed with sealing putty that completely the securing member includes. This measure will also a visually appealing design of the security window as a whole guaranteed. The securing members are preferably from the inside of the window assembled here so that even after removing the sealing putty leaching the safety glass panes due to external influences possible is.

at sliding window sashes A major problem arises from the fact that cleaning is mostly difficult. Characteristic of such sliding windows is because that at least one of the casement in one to the other casement parallel plane is slidably executed. Such are known Windows as vertical sliding windows or as double windows. sliding window can be easily opened, however, only a limited opening cross-section is provided for cleaning. The cleaning of such windows is therefore difficult outdoors.

Also the invention remedies this, because according to one embodiment proposed that the movable casement at least on one long side the security window a vertically movable, with the movable Casement coupled, and thus the mobility of the sash overall Sword has, the wing frame at least on one of the long sides can be attached to the sword rotatable about an axis. This one a component called a sword can perform several functions simultaneously To run. For one, it secures, for example, the side areas of the casement and guaranteed thus protection against rain, wind or attacks, respectively Foreign influences. This is particularly guaranteed when the sword executed as a metal sword becomes. About that the sword also improves the guidance of the movable casement to a significant extent, so the sword on the frame side can have a leg that between is guided along two guide seals and the at least one end in at least one guide receptacle is slidably guided. Through this sliding guidance can the movable casement of the sliding window moved very evenly become. In a way, the sword also provides a counterweight to the casement represents.

to To improve the comfort of the mobility of the casement, it makes sense this sash by a drive coupled to an adjusting device move or support the movement. As a drive can in the simplest case a hand-operated crank, but also a gas pressure spring, a torsion spring, a counterweight or an electric motor for Come into play. The adjustment device is, for example, a belt drive, as a toothed belt drive or chain or cable mechanism executable, whereby a train diversion should be used to reverse the reversal to ensure the direction of movement. The sword can be used here to adjust the adjustment device, for example to attach a pull chain to the sword and so the sash movable, preferably sliding.

In the case of so-called vertical sliding windows, it is also an advantage and increases the security of the person living in the house to be secured NEN, if the movable sash has a safety device against automatic closing. This can effectively prevent the sash from coming loose and thus injuring a person in the window area. The problem arises in particular in the case of vertically movable casements of such security windows in a sliding design. In the simplest case, the safety device can be a roll-off safety device with a pillow block or a clamping device, as is known per se, for example, in seat belts in motor vehicles.

there will when crossing mechanics triggered at a certain movement speed prevents further shutdown of the vertical sliding window part.

Farther it makes sense to provide a sensor unit that at least consists of one component for signal generation and one corresponding to it There is a component for signal recording, these components on the one hand on the casement, or an associated movable part of the security window and on the other hand on the fixed part of the security window, so for example on the window frame, the associated window sash or are present on the windowsill. Leave with such a sensor unit several very useful functions in a security window according to the invention integrate.

On the one hand there is the possibility an external attack, for example in an attempt to open the Security window can exist to signal.

To the others, the sensor unit can be coupled to a braking device be the for the case comes into action, for example, that a person is in the opening area between the open casement and the windowsill while the casement its closing motion takes place. By activating the sensor system, which is also in this Case could be executed as a motion sensor system applied the brake, so the casement its closing motion stops. So that can effectively prevent injuries to the persons concerned.

All in all Fulfills a security window according to the invention the security requirements WK2 according to DIN EN V 1627.

following intended to be a special embodiment of the security window according to the invention based on the figures to be discribed. It is the security window shown around a vertical sliding window in a security version WK2 according to the DIN standard EN V 1627.

It demonstrate:

1 a view from the inside and a view from the outside of a security window according to the invention,

2 : the section line II - II from 1 .

3 : the section line III - III from 1 .

4 : the section course IV - IV from 1 , in a simplified schematic representation,

5 : a section course V - V from 1 such as

6 : the section VI - VI from 1 ,

This in one view from the inside of the building and one view from the outside of the building in 1 shown security window in a version as a vertical sliding window initially consists of a window frame 1 , which is embedded in the masonry of the building to be secured. In the window frame 1 are two casement frames 2 and 3 added with the casement 3 is designed as a vertically movable casement. The movability of the wing frame 3 was shown by the arrow representations in the 1 indicated. The sash 3 is in one to the casement 2 parallel plane slidable, in the window frame 1 stored. Accordingly, the wing frame 2 and 3 in a horizontal cross-sectional plane an offset "s" to each other. The peculiarity of the in 1 Security window shown is that this was designed as a historical version and accordingly several rungs running in an intersecting arrangement 11 having. Between the rungs 11 are each safety glass panes 4 classified.

In the 2 it can be seen how the contact area between the casement frames arranged in parallel planes 2 and 3 is designed. The movable casement 3 is in the 2 shown in the right part of the picture. Each of the casement 2 and 3 takes safety glass panes 4 on. The special feature of the present invention is that the peripheral edge of the safety glass pane 4 on a contact surface 8th of the reinforcing element 5 is applied. The reinforcing element 5 is L-shaped in cross-section and accordingly has one leg 9 on that is at right angles from the contact surface 8th protrudes and thus also a first contact surface 6 for the direct installation of the safety glass surface. The safety glass pane 4 is based on the first contact area 6 of the reinforcing element 5 and on the contact surface 8th of the reinforcing element. Corresponding and opposite to the first contact surface 6 has the reinforcing element 5 a second contact area 7 on that together with the first contact area 6 the safety glass pane captive and undetachable in the reinforcing element 5 fixed. To form the second contact surface 7 became a safety link 10 into the reinforcing element 5 used. This security link 10 is a rivet that is the reinforcing element 5 penetrates and partly also in the casement 3 , or the casement 2 intervenes. Thus, the fuse link 10 in the reinforcing element 5 and the sash 2 . 3 held. For an attractive design, the entire safety pane edge area is sealed with a sealant 15 covered.

The casement frames arranged in parallel planes 3 and 2 have the already mentioned offset "s" to each other. In the casement parts 2 and 3 are also security deposits 13 brought in. These metal inserts with an L-shaped cross section ensure, for example, a high level of security against break-ins. Between the security deposits 13 are on both sash parts 2 or 3 seals 14 arranged, which come into contact with each other and thus hermetically seal the window from the outside.

The sectional view in 3 shows a section in a simplified version by a rung 11 of a security window according to the invention. The peculiarity of this is that the rung also has a metallic safety insert 12 performed reinforcement. The wooden part of the rung 11 covers the complete safety insert in a visually appealing way 12 from. The rung forms 11 a first contact area 6 and the securing member 10 the second, corresponding and the contact area 6 opposite second contact surface 7 , The security deposit is also in the present case 12 and the securing member 10 completely in a visually appealing way from a sealing putty 15 covered.

In the simplified sectional view in 4 the the course IV - IV in 1 corresponds, a further, very essential special feature of a security window according to the invention is shown. This is that the movable casement 3 on one of its long sides around an axis 16 rotatable on a sword 17 is arranged. On the axis 16 , which was designed as a hinge, there is a band that holds the casement 3 wearing. To improve the guiding properties of the casement 3 during its vertical sliding movement, the sword shown is 17 with one leg 18 equipped that slidably in a guide holder 20 and at least between two guide seals 19 is led. This way of guiding the sword 17 can the mobility of the casement 3 to a significant extent compared to known designs. The details that are otherwise identical in construction to the previous representations are not to be discussed in more detail here. In contrast to the previous figures, the 4 a gear 29 , being on the opposite side of the window frame 1 a corresponding gear is present, which is not shown here in the figure. A chain is turned over these gears by means of a train deflection 26 laid and moved. Gears and chain together form an adjustment device. The chain has a coupling with the sword 17 on, so that the connection from the adjustment device to the casement 3 he follows. The adjustment movement of the adjustment device can take place, for example, by an electric motor. In the 4 is also a connection 31 recognizable for a hand crank, by means of which this adjustment mechanism can also be operated. The entire adjustment mechanism is in one housing box 32 housed the in the wall 30 was integrated, which also included the window frame 1 receives.

In the 5 a belt drive is shown in simplified form, which can be driven by means of an electric motor and thus the movable casement 3 vertically displaceable. The strap 26 is about a drive pulley 24 placed. This part of the mechanics is in one housing 25 added. The drive pulley 24 is by means of a wave 23 moves, which is driven by an electric motor, not shown.

Such a drive can be designed, for example, as a tubular motor, as is also known from roller shutters or electrically adjustable garage doors. This tubular motor is directly coupled to a vertical shaft. At the ends of this shaft are the inner pulleys or gears, which move laterally attached chains or toothed belts. These chains or timing belts are deflected with the vertical swords 17 connected. The swords 17 are preferably on both sides of the movable casement 3 intended. So that the movable casement 3 in the embodiment shown 1 be moved up and down in the vertical while the swords 17 additionally offer the security against burglary already mentioned, but also against wind or rain.

In the 5 an additional safety function is shown in a schematically highly simplified embodiment, as it is on an inventive security window can be used. Here is on the movable casement part 3 that in the reinforcing element 5 the safety glass pane 4 carries a component 21 arranged in the edge area for signal generation. Opposite this and therefore corresponding to the component 21 for signal generation, is in the sole or window sill 28 a component 22 available for signal recording. The components 21 and 22 together form a sensor unit with which, for example, a movement in the opening area between the window sill 28 and open sash 3 is sensible if the sensor unit is designed as a motion sensor system.

This sensor unit can also be used during the vertical movement of the casement 3 to close the security window, to protect people or animals moving into the opening area from being trapped between the closing window parts. In such a case, the sensor unit would thus have to be combined with a braking mechanism of the security window. This would result in the progressive closing of the movable casement in the event that a movement is sensed 3 is ended by the brake mechanism. This minimizes the risk of injury.

The mentioned Sensor unit can also be used, for example a closing signal to proceed that the proper closure of the security window signaled.

The Signal processing and control is carried out by a central control and processing unit (CPU).

In addition, the sash has 3 in 5 a groove-shaped recess in its lower edge area, in which a window seal 27 intervenes as soon as the sash 3 closed is. This window seal 27 is in a groove of the sole bank or window sill 28 inserted.
