Definitions

  • the invention relates to the attachment of a gear to a sash of a window, a door or the like.
  • the sash frame consists of extruded profiles with at least one fitting groove arranged in the rebate surface and provided with undercuts, which delimits through side webs projecting from the rebate surface and delimiting the groove opening Cross bars is formed, the cross bar adjacent to the rollover is also extended in the direction of the rollover beyond the side bar and the gearbox, which is housed in a housing, is placed lying on the crossbars of the fitting groove and can be moved longitudinally with a pinion into one in the fitting groove guided rack engages and is fixed by means of additional fasteners against the crossbars and the rollover with at least one opening for carrying out the drive pin to be coupled to a pinion of the gearbox of an actuation to be placed on the visible surface of the rollover handle is provided.
  • the gearbox is still screwed into the locknuts not fully tightened clamping screws can be freely moved along the fitting groove. It can only be fixed in its vertical position on the wing or in its longitudinal position, based on the profile, if the actuating handle is mounted on the flap, since the drive pin of the actuating handle determines the exact position of the gearbox on the wing. Even when tightening the clamping screw, jamming can occur, since there is no stop for the correct arrangement of the housing due to the housing resting on the flat crossbars.
  • the known type of fastening requires a special configuration of the profiles forming the casement, since a nut channel must be present on both sides of the fitting groove.
  • the invention has for its object to significantly facilitate and simplify the attachment of a generic gear while ensuring the correct assignment of the gear to the wing.
  • the retaining bar comes into the area of the fitting groove.
  • the extension of the projection of the housing of the gearbox which is oriented in the direction of the rollover, slides into a passage opening of the rollover, at the same time the retaining web engages under the crossbar of the fitting groove which is adjacent to the rollover.
  • the insertion movement of the extension is finished when the collar of the attachment on the back of the flap has come to rest.
  • the securing bracket which serves as a fastening means, engages over the shoulder and is in turn expediently gripped behind by the housing.
  • the gear is thus held in all directions on the profile in spite of the support on flat crossbars provided without a stop, and it is already secured in a sufficiently secure position even without an operating handle mounted on the wing.
  • the assembly is much easier and faster, since when the gearbox is placed on the crossbars and when the extension is inserted into the through opening of the flap, the correct assignment to the sash is inevitable, and this assignment is secured by attaching a single fastening element formed by the securing bracket.
  • an attachment is arranged on the housing of the gearbox, both attachments are equipped with a threaded hole for receiving the fastening screws for the rosette of the actuating handle and the securing bracket is one through the axis of the drive pin extending and perpendicular to the plane of the plane standing cross-symmetrical.
  • This enables the use of a commercially available operating handle with a rosette, which is placed on the visible surface of the flap.
  • Each mounting screw for the rosette is assigned a threaded hole in one approach.
  • the use of two approaches further improves the definition of the gear on the profile of the wing.
  • the securing bracket is formed in one piece and overlaps both approaches at the same time, with the cross-symmetry fixing web and locking web also being assigned to each approach.
  • the lugs of the housing of the transmission are each preferably provided with a recess on the end face, rosettes with collar lugs can be used, which then project into the recesses on the lug side in a form-fitting manner. This not only improves the fixation of the gearbox on the profile, but at the same time also significantly increases the hold of the actuating handle placed on the flap.
  • the securing bracket is engaged in the direction of the rollover on the gearbox housing side.
  • the attachment is provided with a recess running in the direction of the fold surface for the non-positive reception of the fixing web of the securing bracket.
  • the non-positive and preferably also form-fitting design of the cross section of the fixing web resting on the end face of the crossbar extension and supported there there against the recess of the extension prevents the gear from moving in the direction away from the rollover and thus serves to secure the position of the gear.
  • the extension is provided with an opening which is aligned parallel to the recess and which touches the threaded bore, and a projection of the transverse flange of the securing bracket which substantially fills the opening engages in this opening. Recess and breakthrough of the approach extend in parallel planes, so that the application of the safety bracket is facilitated.
  • the protrusion of the securing bracket, which fills the opening, protrudes slightly into the cross section of the threaded bore for receiving the fastening screw for the actuating handle and thus serves as a thread lock.
  • the transverse flange, fixing web, locking web and projection are made in one piece and made of thermoplastic.
  • the securing bracket can thus be attached to the lugs of the housing under pretension, the latching web can be snapped under the crossbar extension due to its spring elasticity, and the thread of the fastening screws for the actuating handle can cut automatically into the material of the projection.
  • the transmission 1 In its housing 2 consisting of two shells, the transmission 1 contains two gear wheels, namely a pinion provided with an internal square and a further pinion 3, which is intended to interact with a rack 4.
  • the gear 1 is to be fastened lying in the fold of a profile 5 of a casement 6.
  • the profile 5 of the casement 6, which is produced from an aluminum alloy by extrusion, has a rollover 7 and a fold surface 8 arranged perpendicularly thereto on, which is provided with a fitting groove 9.
  • the fitting groove 9 is limited by side webs 10 projecting perpendicularly from the rebate surface 8 and transverse webs 11 delimiting the groove opening.
  • the transverse web 11, which is closer to the rollover 7, is formed beyond the side web 10 in the direction of the rollover 7 to form a crossbar extension 12.
  • the other crosspiece 11 is provided with a crosspiece extension 13 pointing away from the rollover 7, so that the groove is limited by crosspieces which are T-shaped in cross section.
  • the crossbar extension 13 has a raised edge strip 14 at the free end.
  • a central opening 15 and two through openings 16 are arranged, which are each formed by bores.
  • the central opening 15 serves to carry out the drive mandrel, which is designed as a square, of an actuating handle 17, which consists of a handle 18 and a rosette 20 placed on the visible surface 19 of the flap 7.
  • This drive mandrel is coupled to the inner square of the pinion of the transmission 1.
  • the transmission 1 carries a retaining strip 22 with an essentially L-shape, the free leg 23 pointing in the direction of the flap 7.
  • Two projections 25 protrude from the narrow side 24 of the housing 2 arranged parallel to the rollover 7, which end in an extension 26.
  • the lugs 25 each form a collar 27 arranged parallel to the narrow side 24 of the housing 2.
  • a recess 29 with a circular cross section extends from the end face 28 of the extension 26.
  • a threaded bore 31 is arranged from the bottom 30 thereof.
  • each attachment 25 has a recess 32 with a rectangular cross section, which is aligned parallel to the narrow side 24 of the housing 2, the recesses 32 being arranged parallel to one another and on front sides 33 facing away from one another.
  • each extension 25 is provided with an elongated opening 34, which in each case touches the threaded bore 31 and is thus opened against the threaded bore 31.
  • the securing bracket 35 which is constructed with a transverse symmetry, has a vertically projecting fixing web 37 on its transverse flange 36 near its free ends, which is rigid.
  • a locking web 38 projects from the transverse flange 36, which carries a locking lug 39 at the free end.
  • two projections 40 with an essentially triangular cross section are formed on the transverse flange 36, the cross section of which essentially corresponds to the cross section of the openings 34.
  • the gear 1 is to be placed against the openings 15, 16 in the rollover 7 approaches 25 on the crossbars 11 of the fitting groove 9 with the engagement of the pinion 3 in a rack 4 mounted longitudinally displaceably in the fitting groove 9 .
  • the housing 2 resting on the crossbars 11 with its underside 21 is to be displaced in the direction of the flap 7, whereby on the one hand the holding web 22 engages under the crossbar 11 adjacent to the flap 7 of the fitting groove 9 and on the other hand the extensions 26 of the extensions 25 into the Through openings 16 are introduced.
  • This sliding movement of the housing 2 is due to the striking of the collar 27 of the lugs 25 on the back 41 of the flap 7 ended.
  • the gear 1 is fixed in its assignment with respect to the length of the profile 5 or the height of the casement 6 by the positive connection between the extensions 26 and the passage openings 16.
  • the end faces 28 of the extensions 26 do not protrude beyond the visible surface 19 of the flap 7.
  • the gear 1 is prevented from being lifted off the fitting groove 9 by reaching under the cross piece 11 of the fitting groove 9 by the holding piece 22.
  • the securing bracket 35 is used. It is fed in a plane arranged parallel to the rollover 7.
  • the fixing webs 37 engage in the recesses 32 of the lugs 25 and fill the recesses 32 in a form-fitting manner in the direction perpendicular to the rollover 7.
  • the fixing web 37 also bears against this end face 43 under prestress.
  • the fixing web 37 thus, in cooperation with the recess 32 of the lugs 25, prevents the gear 1 from moving back and the locking web 38 serves to hold the securing bracket 35 in place, so that no greater forces act on it. At the same time, part of the projections 40 protrude into the threaded bores 31.
  • the application of the safety bracket 35 is simple and does not require a great deal of time, since only one simple insertion is required and its hold on the profile 5 and thus on the transmission 1 takes place automatically.
  • the transmission 1 is fixed so far that it can be transported with the casement 6 in the installed state.
  • An additional securing by fastening the operating handle 17 is not required.
  • the cross flange 36 lies on the shoulders 25 in particular also under prestress and on.
  • the operating handle 17 can still be installed later.
  • the drive mandrel is passed through the central opening 15 and coupled to the inner square of a pinion of the transmission 1.
  • collar projections 44 of the rosette 20 protrude through the passage openings 16 of the flap 7, which in turn are held in a form-fitting manner in the recess 29 of the projections 25.
  • the collar lugs 44 are penetrated by the fastening screws 45, which are screwed into the threaded bore 31 of the lugs 25 and thereby independently cut their threads in the area of the projections 40 of the securing bracket 35, with material displacement, so that the securing bracket 35 also assumes the function of a screw locking device.
