Definitions

  • the invention relates to an at least sliding wing of a window, a door or the like.
  • a carriage, a running shoe or the like With at least one roller, a carriage, a running shoe or the like.
  • an associated running track which is in particular attached to a fixed frame, the frame of the wing at least at its lower end consists of a profile made of aluminum, a metal of a metal alloy or plastic comparable to aluminum, a fitting part carrying the roller or the like is mounted lying on the inside of the wing, with the lower area of the profiled lower wing frame
  • Crossbar a reinforcing plate is attached and the fitting part is connected to the reinforcing plate by means of at least one fastening element.
  • a wing of a window, door or the like which can be opened at the bottom is known according to the preamble of claim 1, which can be moved with a carriage on an associated running rail and in which a fitting part carrying the carriage on the inside the wing is mounted on top.
  • a stiffening part is attached to the underside of the frame and the fitting part is connected to the stiffening part at least by means of a fastening element. The stiffening part is attached to the faceplate of the lock.
  • the object of the invention is to develop a wing of the aforementioned type so that when using conventional profiles made of aluminum or the like. Or made of plastic despite the internal mounting of the fitting part with the roller or the like. Even with a larger wing weight, the stability of the casement is guaranteed.
  • the invention proposes that the wing gem.
  • the preamble of claim 1 is formed in accordance with the characterizing part of this claim.
  • the size of the reinforcement plate depends primarily on the available space below the lower cross member or in Gap between sash and frame, as well as the necessary stiffening effect.
  • the reinforcing plate can extend over the entire length of the lower wing cross member in question or only over the directly endangered area.
  • the number of fasteners depends on the size of the reinforcing plate on the one hand and the load that occurs on the other. Preferably, screws, studs on the reinforcing plate, clamping eccentric and the like are used. Known fasteners or a combination thereof.
  • Additional fastening elements in particular fastening screws, which are not screwed into the reinforcement plate, can be screwed directly into a thread of the assigned profile web or using nuts or nut-like elements, which are either used exclusively or serve to reinforce or lengthen the nut thread in the web in question. If it is a reinforced profile with a reinforcement element inserted into a profile chamber, the other screws should also be screwed into a thread or extension thread provided there if possible.
  • the threaded holes required for this must be available in sufficient numbers and lengths and must be installed in such a way that the fastening screws for the fitting part are fully screwed in without hindrance by a fastening screw for the reinforcement plate can.
  • a further embodiment of the invention provides that, in the case of a frame with a wing overlap, each fastening screw screwed into the reinforcement plate passes through a bore in the profile web, which is not a threaded bore, but is a through hole.
  • the relevant profile web forming the flap is kept free from the stressing force and, moreover, a firm pressing of the fitting part against its contact surface is achieved.
  • a further development of the invention is characterized in that the reinforcing plate engages in a profile groove of the wing cross member.
  • profile grooves are usually present and they allow the use of a reinforcing plate thicker at least in this area.
  • a secure hold and optimal utilization of the groove profile cross section is advantageously obtained if the reinforcing plate has a profiled shoulder with which it is held in a positive manner in the profile groove of the corresponding cross section. If necessary, you have to provide at least on a lower wing corner for a possibility of inserting this reinforcing plate into the groove, which according to the embodiment is a constricting e.g. can act in cross-section T-shaped or dovetail-shaped groove.
  • a particularly preferred embodiment of the invention is characterized in that a holder for the roller or the carriage or the like is connected via a vertical support pin or an axis of rotation to the fastening attachment of the fitting part which bears against the profile.
  • a vertical axis of rotation is particularly advantageous because it makes it possible not only to mount the sash, but also to park it in parallel.
  • Switched between the two elements of the fitting part a pivot arm mounted on both ends, one axis of rotation on the carriage or the like and the other on the element of the fitting which is mounted directly on the sash.
  • Advantages arise in the same way with an element of a folding door which is guided by such rollers. When the wings are unfolded, the torsional forces on the screw-on plate are particularly high.
  • the support pin is connected to a height adjustment device for the wing or forms part of the height adjustment device, so that the wing can be aligned with the aid of this height adjustment device in the vertical direction against the wall opening or the fixed frame.
  • the invention is explained below with reference to the drawing.
  • the drawing shows an embodiment of the invention based on a vertical section through the lower cross members of the wing and a fixed frame receiving this.
  • the wing 1 is displaceable in a fixed frame 2 perpendicular to the sheet plane.
  • a fitting part 5 is mounted on the inside 3 of the lower wing cross member 4. It is equipped with at least one roller 6, which is seated on a running rail 7.
  • the latter can be integrally formed on the lower cross member 8 of the fixed frame 2 or screwed on as in the exemplary embodiment.
  • the roller or rollers is or are on a housing 9 trained element of the fitting part 5 rotatably supported, the axis of rotation or a bearing pin of the axis of rotation shown at 10. In the case of several rollers, the housing 9 is a carriage.
  • At least the lower cross bars 4 and 8 of the wing 1 and the fixed frame 2 consist in the drawing of profile bars, which in turn can be constructed from individual profile bar elements as shown. Aluminum or the like or plastic can be used as the material. Because the support plane of the wing 1, which is determined approximately by the vertical center plane of the roller or rollers 6, is laterally offset from the center of gravity of the wing - to the right in the drawing - and the wing bridges the gap 11 between it and the fixed frame 2 , the lower wing cross member 4 has a downward projecting wing overlap 12, against which the fitting part 5 at least partially rests, the weight load leads to a bending or torsional load, in particular on the wing-shaped wing overlap 12, the latter being, as the drawing shows, with a receiving groove 13 is equipped for inserting a sealing element which interacts with the opposite surface of the spar 8 pointing towards the interior of the room.
  • a reinforcing plate 14 is provided on the downward-facing side of the lower cross member 4 mounted. It is preferably screwed on, the fastening screws being denoted by 15.
  • the fastening screws 15 are each screwed into a thread 16 of the profile web 17. If necessary, one can additionally or alternatively use threaded sleeves 18, such as are provided when fastening the profile to the running rail 7.
  • the fitting part 5 is at least screwed to the reinforcing plate 14 with the aid of fastening screws 19.
  • the web-like wing flap 12 is located between the two. It can be provided with a thread or a passage bore 20 at the relevant points. Because of the high load to which the sash and the fitting part 5 are exposed, additional fastening screws 21 are used, which are screwed into the thread 22 of the profile web 23. Reinforcements can also be provided at these points.
  • a dashed line indicates that the fitting part 5 has a mounting plate 24 or may also be designed there as such. Possibly. there you can cover the screw heads or the relevant element of the fitting part 5 by means of a cover cap.
  • the reinforcement plate 14 lies both on the underside of the profile web 17 and on the inner surface of the wing flap 12.
  • the cross section is essentially rectangular.
  • the adjacent side of the reinforcing plate can be designed accordingly, so that an attachment, in particular an attachment profiled according to the groove cross section, engages in the profile groove 25.
  • the fastening screws 15 for the reinforcing plate 14 expediently pass through holes 26, while 5 threaded holes 27 are provided on the reinforcing plate 14 for the fastening screws 19 for the fitting part.
  • the fitting part 5 consists essentially of a bracket 28 for the roller or the housing 9 or a carriage and a mounting boss 30 which is screwed directly to the lower cross member 4, these two parts via a support pin 29 or Axis of rotation are interconnected.
  • the support pin 29 can be connected to a height adjustment device for the wing or be part of such a height adjustment device.
