Windows for building components

The innovation relates to a window for building components, in particular interior and exterior doors or facade panels according to the generic term of protection claim 1 or 3.

The aim of the innovation is to show a window that is characterized by a particularly attractive and easy-to-install frame. To solve this problem, a window is designed in accordance with protection claim 1 or 3.

Further developments of the innovation are the subject of the subclaims. The innovation is explained in more detail below using the figures of windows for building doors as an example of implementation. They show:

Fig. 1 shows a simplified partial view of a section through the wing or door leaf of a building door and through a window frame with glazing provided in this building door;

Fig. 2 and 3 in a representation like Figure 1 further possible embodiments.

In the figures, 1 is the wing or door leaf of an otherwise not shown building interior door. A recess 2 for a window 3 is made in this door leaf. In the embodiment shown in Figure 1, this recess 2 is circular. The window 3 is accordingly porthole-shaped and consists of a circular window frame 4, in which a circular disk-shaped glazing 5 is held. In the embodiment shown, the glazing 5 is a single glazing consisting of only one pane of glass.

The window frame 4 comprises two circular frame elements 6 and 7, which are identical at least in terms of their cross-sectional profile and are each made as solid profiles from aluminum or an aluminum alloy. The

·

The cross-sectional profile of the frame element 6 is essentially determined by a rectangular profile section which, when the frame 4 is mounted, forms the outer surface of the frame 4 lying parallel to the leaf plane with a surface 6', there has a ring-like projection 8 with which the frame element 6 overlaps the outer side 1' of the door leaf adjacent to this element at the edge of the recess 2. A further annular projection 9 is provided on the rectangular profile section of the frame element 6 on the surface 6" surrounding the window opening. This annular projection 9 also concentrically surrounds the central axis M of the window 3, which is perpendicular to the door leaf or window plane. The profile forming the frame element 7 also has the projections 8 and 9, namely the projection 8 on the outer surface 7' and the projection 9 on the circular surface 7" surrounding the window opening, with the projection 8 covering the edge of the recess 2 on the inside of the door 1".

When the window 3 is mounted on the door leaf, the two frame elements 6 and 7 are spaced apart from one another on their inner surfaces 6'" and 7'" respectively and are clamped together by means of threaded bolts 10 in such a way that these frame elements accommodate the door leaf 1 between their annular projections 8 at the edge of the recess 2 and the glazing 5 is clamped between the two projections 9, in each case by means of an annular elastic seal 11.

The bolts 10 each have a threaded section 10' or 10" at both ends, one of which is designed as a right-hand thread and the other as a left-hand thread. Furthermore, each bolt 10 has a section 10'" in the middle, designed for example as a hexagon, which is accommodated in the space 12 that remains between the two frame elements 5 and 6 when the window 3 is installed, but is closed off from the outside by these frame elements and the seals 11, to the side of the outer edge of the glazing 5. Suitable threaded holes are provided for the threaded sections 10' and 10" on the inner surfaces 6'" or 7'" of the frame elements 6 or 7 facing each other, over which (surfaces) the ring-shaped projections 9 protrude. With a suitable, flat tool that is on the

Bolt section 10'" engages and for this purpose a tool is designed, for example, as a flat wrench, the bolts 10 for clamping the frame elements 6 and 7 on the door leaf 1 and for clamping the glazing 5 between the frame elements 6 and 7 or the projections 9 can be tightened via the seals 11, for which purpose the tool in question is introduced into the space 12 through a gap between this seal and the glazing 5 while elastically deforming a seal 11. The particular advantage of the window 3 is that the bolts 10 clamping the frame elements 6 and 7 are not visible from the outside.

Due to the projections 9, which protrude over the facing inner sides 6'" or 7'" of the frame elements 6 and 7, it is also possible to use different glazings in the glass thickness for a given, e.g. standardized, thickness of the door leaf 1, whereby the projections 9 are then shortened accordingly to compensate for the glass thickness. Furthermore, it is of course also possible to compensate for different thicknesses of the door leaf 1 by shortening the projections 9, and of course again with glazing 5 pressed in between the projections 9 via the seals 11.

The two frame elements 6 and 7 are identical. Only the threaded holes for the threaded sections 10' and 10" are different.

Figure 2 shows a window 3a with a window frame 4a, which differs from the window frame 4 only in that instead of the bolts 10, screws 13 are provided, with which the two frame elements 6 and 7 are clamped together to fix the frame 4a to the door leaf 1 and to clamp the glazing. The screws 13 each engage with their threaded section in a threaded hole provided on the inner surface 6'" of the frame element 6, are passed through holes in the frame element 7 and are supported with their head on this frame element. The

Screws 13 are therefore only accessible from one side of the door, namely from the inside.

Figure 3 shows, in a representation similar to Figures 1 and 2, as a third possible embodiment, a window 3b with the window frame 4b and the glazing 5 held in this window frame via the seals 11. The window 3b is again provided in the circular recess 2 of the door leaf 1. The window frame 4b consists of the two ring-shaped frame elements 14 and 15, each of which is U-shaped in cross-section, and is essentially identical, namely the frame element 14 with the outer leg 14' and the inner leg 14", which are connected to one another by a yoke section 14'". The two legs 14' and 14" of the U-profile are circular and lie in planes perpendicular to the central axis of the circular window 3b or parallel to the planes of the outer surface 1' or inner surface 1" of the door leaf 1. The yoke section 14'" of the U-profile is also ring-shaped, but concentrically encloses the central axis M of the circular window 3b or the opening of the window frame 4b and lies perpendicular to the planes of the door's outer and inner sides 1' and 1".

The legs 14' and 14" extend radially outwards from the yoke section 14'" relative to the central axis M, with the outer leg 14' having a greater length or width than the inner leg. The frame element 15 is manufactured in the same way with a U-profile with the legs 15' and 15" and with the yoke section 15'" connecting these legs. In the assembled state, the outer legs 14' and 15' rest against the outside 1' or inside 1" and the two frame elements 14 and 15 are clamped together by several screws 16, so that the glazing 5 is also clamped between the frame elements or their profile sections 14" and 15" via the two seals 11. Holes 17 and 18 are provided in the legs 15' and 15" for the screws 16. Furthermore, a hole 19 is provided in the leg 14" for each screw. The screws 16 are designed with an extended cylindrical head 16', which extends through the respective hole 17 and is completely removed from the frame element 15'

is received and with its head end facing the threaded shaft rests against the inner surface of the leg 15" in the area of the hole 18. With the threaded shaft, each screw 16 extends into the hole 19, so that by tightening the screws 16, the frame elements 14 and 15 are braced against each other, directly on the inner legs 14" and 15" and thus without visible deformation of the frame elements in their visible areas (legs 14' and 15' and yoke section 14'" and 15'"). The extended head 16' of each screw 16, which lies with its head end flush or approximately flush with the outer surface of the leg 15', also visually closes the holes 17. The frame elements 14 and 15 are made of stainless steel by bending, for example. Due to the inherent elasticity of the material used, the described Designing the frame elements 14 and 15 as a U-profile allows a certain compensation of tolerances in the thickness of the door leaf 1 as well as a certain compensation for different glass thicknesses for the glazing 5.

The legs 14" and 15" rest with their free, ring-shaped edge against the inner surface of the recess 2 and thus secure the frame 4b or the window 3b in the recess 2 against slipping in the window plane.

The screws 16 are designed as self-tapping screws or sheet metal screws with regard to their threaded shaft. Instead of screws 16 with the long cylindrical head 16', screws with a "normal" head and sleeves provided on these screws can also be used.
