Description

The invention relates to a corner and edge protection, in particular for single and multi-pane insulating glass according to the specified in the preamble of claim 1. Protection Art.

In particular, during transport from the manufacturer to the window manufacturer and in the various operations and operations to the finished installation a special corner and edge protection of the discs is desirable.

From the EP 0 100 558 B1 is a cross-sectionally U-shaped edge protection profile with a central web between two side bars for placement on one end face of a disc known, the side bars each overlap an edge of the disc, while the central web on a applied at the edge between the discs adhesive and Sealant adheres.

These edge protection profiles extend over the entire length of each side of a disc; For each disc so four, with appropriate length at 45 degrees Miter cut profile pieces are required. This is awkward and expensive.

In addition, these four profile pieces must be placed on the four front sides or side edges of the discs that meet at each corner two miter edges. This exact assembly of the four protection profiles is difficult.

Above all, however, these edge protection profiles provide only inadequate protection, namely only at the edges, but not at the corners, in particular, the corners of the discs are at risk:
For a disc often encounters at the end of a movement with a corner, so with a minimal area, on a base or wing, with a corresponding kinetic energy to the weight of the disc - while there is little danger for the longitudinal edges in between. As a result, the area of the corner is often damaged or even destroyed, while there is little danger for the longitudinal edges.

The invention has the object of providing a corner and edge protection for a disc according to the type specified in the preamble of claim in such a way that the corners of the disc are better protected and easier installation of the corner and edge protection is guaranteed.

This object is solved by the characterizing features of claim 1 in conjunction with its preamble features.

The dependent claims form advantageous developments of the invention.

In a known manner, the corner and edge protection in the form of a cross-sectionally U-shaped profile piece is formed. The integrally formed profile piece has two side legs which are of identical design in cross section and which are connected to one another by means of or by means of the central web. According to the invention, both side webs of the U-profile have notches whose cut edges enclose an angle (α), wherein the U-profile piece is formed from a material and / or the middle web of the U-profile piece is designed such that the U-profile around the Angle (α) is bendable.

At each of the four corners of a disc such a profile piece is now recognized according to the invention, while its two legs are pivoted around the corner until the center bar ever comes to rest against an end face of the disc and the side bars overlap the edges of the disc the two edges of the notch at the corner come to rest against each other.

This assembly is amazingly simple, as it were forcibly, automatically guided.

The center bar serves - at the corner - as a flexible and flexible joint, and this joint protects the previously vulnerable corner of the disc by the previously practically remaining gap between the miter cuts is covered by the central web.

Thus, the area of the corner is firmly enclosed and thus protected. This has been achieved with comparatively very simple installation.

Since the profile piece according to the invention extends only over the region of the corner, on the protection of which it depends, and by means of which the remaining length of each side is also sufficiently protected, a corresponding amount of material is saved.

Thus, the problem is solved and the corresponding advantages are achieved, namely to simplify the manufacture, to facilitate the assembly, to save material while still improving the protection, in particular at the endangered during assembly and each handling of the discs corners.

Windows and doors etc. are available in a variety of sizes and qualities. The U-profile piece according to the invention can be formed according to the respective requirements.

The cut edges of the notches preferably enclose an angle (α) of 90 °.

According to one embodiment of the invention, the notches extend into a part of the thickness of the central web of the U-profile. This is favorable for larger windows and thus thicker, stronger U-profiles.

According to a further embodiment of the invention it is provided that extends along the central web at least one anchoring profile.

Preferably, the anchoring profile has the shape of a flattened T-letter. As a result, a particularly firm anchoring in the sealant and adhesive is achieved.

The U-profile piece according to the invention is preferably made of plastic or similar material in order to avoid the problem of thermal bridges associated with metal, especially aluminum.

According to a particularly advantageous embodiment of the invention, the U-profile piece of flexible plastic o. The like. Flexible material.

Such a strip, or piece of flexible plastic is bent around a corner (more precisely around a narrow side) of the disc, thereby adhering the middle part of the flexible, flexible band, in particular with an anchoring profile provided thereon as usual, on the sealing and Adhesive on the edge of the disc and thus sits firmly. As usual, then the further curing takes place.

Preferably, the U-profile made of thermoplastic material in the well-known injection molding process. As a result, a one-piece, suitable for the respective disc and immediately fully operational production is possible in a simple manner. Another advantage is that a Spritzgussbeil can be produced inexpensively according to the specific requirements even at relatively small quantities.

A particularly advantageous embodiment of the invention provides that the U-profile piece has four spaced-apart notches. This embodiment of the U-profile piece has the positive effect that a disk to be protected is encompassed by the U-profile piece, so that a particularly effective protection is provided.

Further advantages, features and possible applications of the present invention will become apparent from the following description in conjunction with the embodiments illustrated in the drawings.

In the description, the claims, and the drawing, the terms and associated reference numerals used in the list of reference numerals below are used.

9 a detailed view of the corner and edge protection according to the invention;

10 a four notches having corner and edge protection, and

10a one with the corner and edge protection 10 protected disc.

1 . 1a shows the known edge protectors - previously four in pairs, with matching lengths cut to 45 degrees mitred 1 , These should be at the corners of the disc 2 along the mites 3 as close to each other as possible; this is very difficult and cumbersome.

Above all, the protection thus achieved is insufficient, as already described.

As 2 . 2a it can be seen, is according to the invention on each of the four mainly to be protected areas of the corners of a one-piece, two-legged profile piece 4 placed.

The thus protected corner of the disc 2 meets with one - from the remaining middlebridge 7 formed - rounding or vaulting 5 to the respective pad, so the shock extends over a rounded tangent surface, and this rounded tangent surface is yielding according to the deformability of the material.

This profile piece thus acts as a shock absorber; it avoids, at least reduces the said damage.

For clarification and explanation in the drawing figures, the side bars of the profile with reference numerals 6 and the central pier with 7 and the cut edges of the notch with reference numerals 8th designated.

According to 3 - 6a each cut edge formed by a notch extend 8th ie the mitres in the side bars 7 to the middle pier 8th but not in these. As a result, the entire material thickness of the center bar for the effect of shock absorbers remains.

Depending on the circumstances of the case, however, an even better effect is achieved when the notch, so the cutting edges 8a respectively. 8b over a certain depth in the middle bridge 7 extends as in 7 respectively. 8th is shown.

This is especially true if there is an anchoring profile on the center bar 9 is provided.

The T-shaped design of the anchoring profile 9 is in particular out 9 refer to. In addition shows 9 that the depth of the notches down to the middle bridge 7 extend, so that at this point a kind of "joint" is formed in the central web, around which the U-profile can easily bend / kink.

A particularly advantageous embodiment of the corner and edge protection according to the invention shows 10 , In this case, the U-profile four spaced notches on. The position of the notches is adapted to the corners of the disc to be protected. This design ensures that the corner and edge protection can be applied circumferentially around the pane to be protected, cf. 10a
