Description

The invention relates to a retaining rail for a French balcony. Furthermore, the invention relates to a holding device with the support rails and an arrangement with the holding device for a French balcony.

A French balcony is understood to mean a floor-to-ceiling window with a parapet, whereby the parapet only minimally protrudes from the facade of a building. The parapet serves as fall protection and can be mounted on the window frame or on the facade.

From the DE 10 2011 120 906 A1 An arrangement for a French balcony is known. The arrangement has two opposing posts, between which a glass sheet is held. The posts are designed in several parts and each have a first profile, which is first attached to a frame, which covers a sash of a floor to ceiling window. Subsequently, a safety bar is attached at the lower end between the two first profiles and then inserted the glass. In a further assembly step, second profiles of the two posts are placed and fastened on the first profiles from the outside.

Object of the present invention is to provide a support rail for a French balcony, which has fewer components, is easier to install and has a visually appealing design. Furthermore, the present invention has the object to provide an easy to mount holding device for a French balcony, which has fewer components, is easier to assemble and has a visually appealing design. Finally, the present invention has for its object to provide an arrangement for a French balcony, which has fewer components, is easier to assemble and has a visually appealing design.

A solution of the problem consists in a support rail for a French balcony, which is made of a particular drawn metal profile, wherein the support rail defines a longitudinal direction and a first leg, a second leg and the two legs interconnecting connecting web, wherein between the first Leg and the second leg extending in the longitudinal direction receiving opening and a holding portion for receiving a surface element, in particular a glass plate is formed, wherein in the first leg and / or in the connecting web mounting holes are formed for attaching the support rail to a building part, and wherein the second Leg has a continuous closed surface.

According to the invention it is thus provided that the retaining rail is made of a one-piece metal profile. The retaining rail can be attached directly to a supporting part of the building area and record the surface element to be held in order to hold the surface element on one side in the assembled state on the building part. The load-bearing part of the building can be, for example, a building wall, in particular the external wall of the building, respectively the facade of the building, or a window frame of a window, in particular floor-to-ceiling. In this case, the retaining rail can be fixed frontally and / or laterally to the building part. Concretely, the retaining rail from the outside to the building part, respectively frontally by means of the fastening holes formed in the first leg, so that the fastening of the support rail is transverse to the longitudinal direction and transverse to a plane spanned by the surface element plane. Additionally or alternatively, the retaining rail can be fastened laterally to the building part, for example in a building opening of the floor-deep window or on a building projection, by means of the fastening bores formed in the connecting web, so that the fastening of the retaining rail takes place in the plane defined by the planar element and transversely to the longitudinal direction. According to the invention, it is furthermore provided that no fastening bores are formed in the second leg. The second leg is in the mounted state of that leg, which is visible from the outside of the building part, for example, the facade of the building, and visually obscured the underlying first leg. This ensures a visually appealing blind fastening of the retaining rail to the building part.

Furthermore, it can be provided that on the first leg directed to the second leg divider is arranged. The divider can be spaced from the second leg and aligned parallel to the receiving opening, wherein between the divider and the receiving opening of the holding area and between the divider and the connecting web, a mounting region in which the mounting holes are arranged, is formed. As a result, the assembly of the surface element, which is preferably introduced from above into the holding rail, is simplified. The term "top" or "bottom" refers to the state attached to the supporting building part, so that insertion "from above" means deflation of the retaining surface element in the direction of gravity. The divider segment divides the holding rail functionally into the holding region, into which the surface element extends in the mounted state, and into the mounting area in which the mounting holes are arranged. For mounting the retaining rail on the building part, for example, screw means can be used, which are used in the mounting holes and hold the retaining rail in the assembled state non-positively on the building part. By means of the separating web it is reliably prevented that the surface element, in particular the glass pane, when inserted into the holding rail, abuts against the fastening means, for example against a screw head, and is thereby damaged. Moreover, by the spacing of the separating web from the second leg, a gap is formed, through which the installer can insert his tool laterally, that is, through the receiving opening, into the fastening area in order to tighten the fastening means, for example a screw or a nut. In this way, the holding rail can be attached to the building part with a commercial wrench without the use of special tools. In addition, the divider also serves as a guide means which guides the surface element when inserted from above in the retaining rail.

In particular, a distance between the separating web and the second leg is smaller than a thickness of the surface element to be held. This prevents accidentally extending into the mounting area during assembly of the surface element and is damaged there by the fastening means with which the retaining rail is fixed in the assembled state on the building part. Conveniently, however, the distance between the divider and the second leg is so large that the fitter can engage laterally in the mounting area with a commercial wrench.

Furthermore, in the fastening region, a transverse web can be arranged, which connects the separating web to the connecting web. This increases the stability of the retaining rail. Preferably, the space bounded between the transverse web, the separating web, the first leg and the connecting web is made hollow for reasons of weight. It is possible and conceivable, however, that this is a solid body.

According to a first mounting possibility can be provided that the mounting holes are formed in the first leg, and that the crosspiece concentric with the mounting holes arranged further holes, wherein the second leg facing outside of the crosspiece has a support surface for fastening means. This embodiment is suitable for fastening the retaining rail on the outside of the building wall. The fastening means extend through the mounting holes and the other holes and are based on the tightening of the fastening means on the support surface of the transverse web. In this way, the fastening means, in particular screws or bolts, threaded rods with nuts, laterally, that is through the receiving opening, easier to reach with the wrench. For a visually appealing design, in this frontal mounting option, in which the attachment of the retaining rail on the building part via the mounting holes in the first leg, not only the second leg, but also the connecting web have a continuous closed surface.

According to a second fastening possibility can be provided that the mounting holes are formed in the connecting web, and that the separating web has concentric with the mounting holes arranged through openings, wherein the separating web facing outside of the connecting web has a support surface for fastening means. This mounting option is suitable for the lateral arrangement of the retaining rail in a building opening, especially in front of a floor to ceiling windows. In this case, the retaining rail is attached to the side of the building, that is, via the connecting web. In order to provide a visually appealing design, not only the second leg, but also the first leg can have a continuous closed surface in this lateral mounting option. Then the fasteners are neither for a viewer who stands outside the building in front of the building part, nor for a viewer who stands inside the building in the building opening. Through the access openings, the fastening means, in particular a screw or a nut, attached or tightened.

In principle, it is possible and conceivable that the two aforementioned fastening options are combined with each other in a retaining rail, so that the retaining rail is suitable both for the lateral attachment to the building part as well as for the frontal attachment to the building part.

Furthermore, the fastening bores can each be keyhole-shaped with a slot-shaped supporting section extending in the longitudinal direction and a circular receiving section. As a result, the mounting of the retaining rail is simplified to the building part. When attaching the retaining rail to the building part screw heads can engage through the receiving portions in the mounting holes. Subsequently, the fitter can release the holding rail down, whereby the screw heads are transferred into the slot-shaped support portion. In addition to a safe installation allows this is a simple orientation of the retaining rail on the building part. Instead of a keyhole-shaped configuration of the mounting holes, these can also be completely round or formed as a slot-shaped slot. This can be of particular advantage if threaded rods are used for fastening the retaining rail to the building part, onto which a nut is screwed on after attaching the retaining rail to the building part.

According to a first embodiment of the present invention can be provided that the retaining rail is formed as an outer rail with a cross section at least partially U-shaped profile. This will provide a lateral finish for a French balcony. If only one surface element is to be held, preferably two of the outer rails are used.

According to a second embodiment of the present invention can be provided that the retaining rail is formed as an intermediate rail with a cross-sectionally at least partially H-shaped profile. In particular, the support rail in extension of the first leg, a third leg and the extension of the second leg on a fourth leg, which are interconnected by the connecting web, wherein between the third leg and the fourth leg extending in the longitudinal direction further receiving opening and a further holding area for receiving a further surface element, in particular a glass pane is formed, and wherein the fourth leg has a continuous closed surface. Thus, the intermediate rail on two holding areas and can hold one side of corresponding two surface elements. The intermediate rail can be fastened frontally to the building part in a manner analogous to the above-described outer rail by means of the fastening bores formed in the first leg.

The fastening bores can be arranged axially adjacent to one another and / or one above the other in the first leg and / or the third leg and / or the connecting web, in each case 1, 2, 3, 4 or 5 fastening bores being formed in the respective leg and / or the connecting web can. For example, in the frontal connection according to the first fastening possibility, two of the fastening bores in the first leg are provided both in the side rail and in the intermediate rail, wherein the fastening bores can be arranged axially one above the other. For example, two of the mounting holes are provided in the connecting web in the lateral connection according to the second mounting option in the side rail, wherein the mounting holes can be arranged axially one above the other.

Furthermore, an edge protection profile can be arranged in the at least one holding area. As a result, damage to the surface element is prevented by the support rail made of the metal profile or by the fastening means with which the retaining rail is attached to the building part. In particular, the edge protection profile can be connected by means of a tongue and groove connection with the retaining rail. As a result, the edge protection profile can be used in a simple manner. The tongue and groove connection can have an axial groove, in particular a trapezoidal axial groove, respectively a dovetail groove into which the edge protection profile can be inserted with a trapezoidal spring. The axial groove may be formed in the first leg and / or in the third leg. In particular, the edge protection profile may be L-shaped. As a result, the edge protection profile in the holding region can cover the outer sides of the first leg or of the third leg as well as of the connecting web and / or of the separating web. Preferably, the edge protection profile lies flat against the connecting web or on the separating web. In addition, a clearance between the surface element and the retaining rail is reduced by the edge protection. Particularly good results were achieved with an edge protection profile made of plastic, in particular polyoxymethylene (POM for short).

Furthermore, it may be provided that the retaining rail comprises a bottom plate and / or a cover plate, wherein at least one retaining hole extending parallel to the longitudinal axis is formed in at least one of the legs and / or the separating web, and in that connecting means for releasably connecting the bottom plate and / or the cover plate are provided on the retaining rail, which extend into the retaining bore. By attaching the bottom plate to the support rail, it can be attached from the outside to the building part without the surface element to be held must be supported at the bottom with other means. In order to provide a particularly stable connection between the bottom plate and the retaining rail, a plurality of retaining holes are provided. Suitable connecting means are, for example, screw means, in particular self-tapping metal screws or metric screws, which are screwed into the retaining holes. The cover plate is used for visual reasons, the weather protection. In principle, it is sufficient if the cover plate is selectively connected, in particular only via a single connection point with the retaining rail, since the cover plate rests flush with the building part by the attachment of the retaining rail to the building part and thus can not be rotated. For example, the connecting means may be a screw or a pin which engages in one of the retaining holes. The cover plate can also as Cover be formed, which can be placed from above on the support rail. Basically, the cover plate, as well as the bottom plate, be glued to the support rail.

In particular, it may be provided that at least one of the retaining holes is formed at a free end of the second leg and / or at a free end of the fourth leg, wherein in the at least one retaining bore in each case a sealing profile for sealing the respective leg relative to the surface element to be held is. This ensures a good seal of the retaining rail on the weather side.

The retaining rail can be made of a drawn metal profile. As a result, the retaining rail is easy to manufacture, since the metal profile over the entire length is constant. Thus, the outer rails can be used both as a left outer rail and a right outer rail. The metal profile may be made of a metallic material, in particular a weather-resistant light metal, in particular aluminum or brass. Preferably, the bottom plate and / or the cover plate of the same material as the support rail made of the metal profile.

The at least one surface element is preferably a glass pane, in particular a laminated safety glass. In principle, the at least one surface element can also be a metal plate, a metal grid, a plastic plate or the like.

Another solution to the above problem is a holding device with at least two of the above-described support rails. By the holding device according to the invention, the same advantages as they have been described in connection with the support rail according to the invention, so here abbreviated to the above description reference is made. It is understood that all mentioned embodiments of the retaining rail can be transferred to the holding device and vice versa. Overall, the holding device according to the invention is reduced component, allows easier installation and provides a visually appealing design.

If only one surface element is to be held, two of the support rails may be formed as outer rails. As soon as a plurality of surface elements are to be held side by side on the building part, two of the support rails, namely the left outer and the right outer, may be designed as an outer rail, wherein the support rails between the individual surface elements may be designed as intermediate rails.

A still further solution of the above object is further an arrangement for a French balcony comprising a holding device of the type described above. The inventive arrangement for a French balcony, the same advantages as they have been described in connection with the support rail according to the invention or the holding device according to the invention, so here abbreviated to the above description reference is made. It is understood that all mentioned embodiments of the retaining rail or the holding device can be transferred to the arrangement for a French balcony and vice versa. Overall, the arrangement according to the invention for a French balcony is component-reduced, easier to assemble and has a visually appealing appearance.

In order to design the assembly of the arrangement particularly simple, the support rails are first attached to the building part. Subsequently, the surface element is inserted from above into the two adjacent retaining rails. In this case, the surface element is dimensioned such that the width of the surface element is greater than the sum of the distance between the two support rails to each other and the depth of at least one of the two holding areas. As a result, the clearance between the surface element and the two retaining rails is dimensioned so small that, after assembly, tilting of the surface element in the retaining device and falling out of the retaining device is reliably prevented.

For mounting the arrangement for a French balcony, at least two of the retaining rails are first fastened to the at least substantially vertical part of the building. For this purpose, fastening means, for example screws or threaded rods, can already be introduced on the building part. The support rails are placed with the mounting holes on the fasteners, so that the fasteners extend through the mounting holes in the support rails inside. Subsequently, the fastening means are tightened, for which a tool, in particular a commercially available wrench laterally, that is, by the receiving opening of the respective retaining rail can be guided to the fastening means. The edge protection profiles can be inserted into the support rails, either before the attachment to the building part or only afterwards. After the retaining rails have been non-positively connected to the building part, the surface element, in particular the glass pane, can be inserted from above into the holding areas of the two retaining rails. For example, if the retaining rails at the bottom end with a window sill, no bottom plate is needed. If the floor panels are needed to secure the respective surface element or are desired for optical reasons, they can be attached to the lower end of the respective retaining rail. After the retaining rails are attached to the building part and preferably after the insertion of the surface elements, the sealing profiles can be used in the support rails. By selecting the thickness of the sealing profiles and / or the edge protection profiles surface elements can be used with different thicknesses in the support rails. In order to dismantle the arrangement again, the surface element must first be removed, since the fasteners are neither visible nor accessible in the assembled state from the outside.

In 1 is a retaining rail 1 for a French balcony according to an embodiment of the present invention. The retaining rail 1 serves to fasten a surface element, in particular a composite glass pane 2 on a vertical part of the building 3 , especially in the 7 and 10 is shown. The building part 3 For example, it may be a window frame of a floor-to-ceiling window or a building wall around a floor-to-ceiling window. The retaining rail 1 has an elongated basic shape and defines a longitudinal direction X. In the assembled state, in which the retaining rail 1 at the building part 3 is attached, the longitudinal direction X is parallel to the building part 3 ,

In the 1 to 3 is the retaining rail 1 shown as an outer rail, which here allows a left lateral closure for the French balcony. The surface element 2 is not part of the retaining rail 1 and here only to illustrate the interaction with the retaining rail 1 located. The retaining rail 1 is made of a drawn metal profile having in the longitudinal direction X at least substantially a constant profile. Thus, in the 1 as a left outer rail shown retaining rail 1 by turning the retaining rail 1 to be used as a right outer rail to a running in the transverse direction Y axis without structural change.

The retaining rail formed as an outer rail 1 has a cross section at least partially U-shaped profile. Specifically, the retaining rail 1 a first leg 4 , a second leg 5 and one of the two legs 4 . 5 connecting connecting web 6 on. Between the first leg 4 and the second leg 5 is a receiving opening extending in the longitudinal direction X. 7 formed, through which the surface element to be held 2 in the retaining rail 1 can extend into it.

On the first leg 4 is one to the second leg 5 directed divider 8th arranged, from the second leg 5 spaced apart to form a gap d. The divider 8th runs parallel to the receiving opening 7 or to the connecting bridge 6 , Between the divider 8th and the receiving opening 7 is a holding area 9 formed in which the surface element to be held 2 is held in the assembled state. In contrast, between the divider 8th and the connecting bridge 6 a mounting area 10 formed in the mounting holes 11 for fastening the retaining rail 1 at the building part 3 are formed. The divider 8th is over a crossbar 12 with the connecting bridge 6 connected. Both the divider 8th as well as the crossbar 12 are integral parts of the drawn metal profile from which the retaining rail 1 is made.

In the 2 it can be seen that the retaining rail 1 for frontal attachment to the building 3 is formed so that the retaining rail 1 in the assembled state with the first leg 4 flat on the building part 3 is applied. Accordingly, the mounting holes 11 in the attachment area 10 of the first thigh 4 arranged. For example, two mounting holes 11 axially spaced apart in the first leg 4 be educated. Furthermore, the crosspiece points 12 concentric with the mounting holes 11 arranged further holes 13 on. In the assembled state, fastening means, in particular on the building part 3 arranged screw means, such as screws 14 or threaded rods, through the mounting holes 11 and the further drilling 13 in the attachment area 10 the retaining rail 1 intervention. The screw 14 is not part of the retaining rail 1 and here only to illustrate the interaction with the retaining rail 1 located. In the 1 is recognizable that a surface 15 of the second leg 5 has no holes and is designed to be closed throughout.

In the sectional view according to the 3 is one of the two in the crossbar 12 trained further drilling 13 recognizable. The holes 13 are keyhole-shaped and have an enlarged circular receiving portion 16 and a narrower slot-shaped support portion extending upwardly in the longitudinal direction X. 17 on. Through the circular receiving section 16 can the retaining rail 1 on one of the respective bore 13 associated screw head 18 the on the building part 3 attached screws 14 be put on. Along the slot-shaped support section 17 can the retaining rail 1 during assembly on the building part 3 be aligned. Instead of attaching the retaining rail 1 by means of screws 14 can on the part of the building 3 For example, be threaded rods attached to the after placing the retaining rail 1 nuts can be screwed in a conventional manner. For this case, the holes 13 also be designed as slots without an extended section. The shape of the holes 13 corresponds to the shape of the underlying mounting holes 11 Thus, the above explanations also for the mounting holes 11 be valid.

At one of the second jetty 5 facing outside 19 of the crossbar 12 is a support surface 20 formed, at the itself the screw head 18 supported in the assembled state. Around the screw head 18 after applying the retaining rail 1 at the building part 3 To be able to tighten is the gap d between the divider 8th and the second leg 5 chosen so large that a fitter his tool, in particular a commercial wrench laterally, that is through the receiving opening 7 , in the attachment area 10 can introduce. However, the distance d between the divider 8th and the second leg 5 preferably smaller than a thickness D of the surface element to be held 2 , In this way can surface element 2 only in the holding area 9 but not accidentally in the mounting area 10 be used.

Furthermore, in the holding area 9 an edge protection profile 21 provided, by means of a tongue and groove connection with the first leg 4 is detachably connected. Concretely, in the first leg 4 between the divider 8th and the receiving opening 7 a trapezoidal axial groove 22 formed, in which a trapezoidal spring 23 of the edge protection profile 21 is inserted. The edge protection profile 21 is formed in cross-section L-shaped and lies in the holding area 9 flat on the connecting bridge 6 and the first thigh 4 at.

Especially in the 1 and 2 it can be seen that the retaining rail 1 several, here four axially extending, slot-shaped retaining holes 24 . 25 . 26 . 27 having. Specifically, one of the retaining holes 24 at a free end of the second leg 5 educated. In this holding hole 24 is a sealing profile 28 used, which in the assembled state, the second leg 5 opposite to the surface element to be held 2 can seal. Furthermore, one of the retaining holes 25 at a free end of the first leg 4 educated. The two further retaining holes 26 . 27 are in the divider 8th educated. Furthermore, a bottom plate 29 provided that the surface element to be held 2 down, that is in the mounted state in the direction of gravity, secures. The bottom plate 29 has a rectangular cross section and is flush with the underside of the retaining rail 1 from. The bottom plate 29 is by means of connecting means, in particular self-tapping metal screws 30 , detachable with the retaining rail 1 connected. The metal screws 30 are at the bottom of the retaining rail 1 in the slot-shaped retaining holes 24 . 25 . 26 . 27 screwed. Around the retaining hole 24 in the second leg 5 both for fixing the bottom plate 29 as well as for holding the sealing profile 28 to use, can in the retaining hole 24 engaging part of the sealing profile 28 around the length of the metal screw 30 be shortened.

In the 7 it can be seen that the upper end of the retaining rail 1 with a cover plate 31 can complete that, as well as the bottom plate 29 , has a rectangular cross section and flush with the top of the retaining rail 1 concludes. The cover plate 31 For example, by means of a self-tapping metal screw 32 , a pin or the like with the retaining rail 1 be connected. Because of the retaining rail 1 in the assembled state flat on the building part 3 is the one with only a single metal screw 32 fixed cover plate 31 sufficiently secured and can not be twisted in the assembled state.

In the 4 and 5 is another trained as an outer rail retaining rail 1 shown, which differs only in that the retaining rail 1 not like in the 1 to 3 shown frontally, but on the side of the building 3 can be mounted. The sealing profile 28 is not shown here for the sake of clarity.

In the lateral mounting option of the retaining rail 1 are the mounting holes 11 not in the first leg 4 but now in the connecting bridge 6 arranged. To when mounting the fixture to the building part 3 the tool laterally, that is through the receiving opening 7 to the screw head 18 to be able to introduce, are in the crossbar 12 concentric with the mounting holes 11 arranged through openings 33 educated. Thus, the connecting bridge 6 at one of the divider 8th facing outside 34 a support surface 20 ' on, at which the screw heads 18 can support in the assembled state.

In the 6 is a trained as an intermediate rail support rail 35 shown, for connecting two of the surface elements 2 . 2 ' serves. The trained as an intermediate rail support rail 35 differs from the trained as an outer rail retaining rail 1 according to the 1 to 5 only in that at the connecting web 6 two more legs, namely a third leg 36 and a fourth leg 37 , are molded. Thus, the trained as an intermediate rail holding rail 35 in cross section at least partially an H-shaped profile.

Specifically, the third leg 36 in extension of the first leg 4 and the fourth leg 37 in extension of the second leg 5 is arranged, wherein between the third leg 36 and the fourth leg 37 a further receiving opening extending in the longitudinal direction X. 7 ' is trained. Furthermore, between the third leg 36 and the fourth leg 37 another holding area 9 ' for receiving the second surface element 2 ' educated.

The intermediate rail 35 points, analogous to the retaining rail 1 according to the 1 to 3 , between the first leg 4 and the second leg 5 the divider 8th on top of the attachment area 10 from the holding area 9 separates. Thus, the intermediate rail 35 frontally to the building part 3 be attached so that the first leg 4 and the third leg 36 flat on the building part 3 issue. In the 6 it can be seen that both the second leg 5 as well as the fourth leg 37 a continuous closed surface 15 exhibit.

In an analogous manner to the outer rail designed as retaining rail 1 is also at the intermediate rail 35 in the further holding area 9 ' in the third leg 36 another axial groove 22 ' formed in the means of a tongue and groove connection another L-shaped edge protection profile 21 ' is included. The further edge protection profile 21 ' lies flat on the connecting bridge 6 and the third leg 36 at.

Furthermore, the retaining rail formed as an intermediate rail 35 in an analogous manner to the trained as an outer rail support rail 1 another sealing profile 28 ' on that in an axial slot-shaped retaining hole 38 is used. Specifically, the retaining hole 38 at a free end of the fourth leg 37 designed so that the sealing profile used therein 28 ' the fourth leg 37 opposite the other surface element 2 ' in the area of the receiving opening 7 ' can seal.

Furthermore, the retaining rail 35 as well as the retaining rail 1 , a floor plate 29 ' and one in which 7 shown, cover plate 31 ' on, each having a rectangular cross-section and the retaining rail 35 flush with the bottom or the top. To add the extra weight through the second surface element 2 ' Support the bottom, is the bottom plate 29 ' in addition to the retaining holes 24 ' . 25 ' . 26 ' . 27 ' also with the retaining hole 38 , another holding hole 39 at a free end of the third leg 36 is formed, and two further retaining holes 40 in the connecting bridge 6 are provided by means of connecting means, here self-tapping metal screws 30 screwed.

The arrangement serves to hold from here two of the surface elements 2 . 2 ' , The two surface elements 2 . 2 ' are on the vertical part of the building 3 , here a floor-deep, double-winged window frame, attached. Specifically, with a view to the 7 , At the left end formed as an outer rail retaining rail 1 and at the right end another trained as an outer rail retaining rail 1 on the window frame 3 attached. These are each one of the in the 1 to 3 shown holding rail 1 , the frontal on the building part 3 can be attached. Between the two surface elements 2 . 2 ' is a trained as an intermediate rail support rail 35 arranged in the 6 is shown. The left surface element 2 is thus between the left outer rail 1 and the intermediate rail 35 and the right surface element 2 ' between the right outer rail 1 and the intermediate rail 35 held. This arrangement is arbitrary to other surface elements 2 . 2 ' expandable by placing between each surface element 2 . 2 ' one more intermediate rail each 35 is set.

The retaining rails 1 . 35 are frontal with the building part 3 , here the window frame, non-positively connected. In the 8th is an enlarged partial section of the arrangement around the left outer rail 1 and in the 9 is an enlarged partial section of the arrangement around the intermediate rail 35 shown.
