Description

Die Erfindung betrifft eine Kupplungsvorrichtung für aneinanderstoßende Stulpschienen- und Treibstangenabschnitten nach dem Oberbegriff des Anspruchs 1 und ein Verfahren zur Fertigstellung einer derartigen Kupplungsvorrichtung nach dem Oberbegriff des Anspruchs 7.The invention relates to a coupling device for abutting faceplate and drive rod sections according to the preamble of claim 1 and a method for completing such a coupling device according to the preamble of claim 7.

Stulpschienen und Treibstangen werden häufig als Baueinheit vereinigt, in einer abgestufte Längsnut eines Flügelrahmens von Türen oder Fenster eingesetzt und dienen hier im Zusammenwirken mit Antriebs- und Verriegelungselementen zum Schließen oder Öffnen von Fenster- oder Türflügel in verschiedenen Stellungen oder Funktionen. Zur einfachen Fertigung und jeweiligen Anpassung der Stulpschienen-Treibstangenanordnung an die verschiedenen Höhen und Breiten der Flügel werden diese in verschiedenen Fixlängen hergestellt und durch Kürzen auf das jeweilige Flügelrahmenmaß angepaßt. Die Verbindung der jeweiligen Treibstangen- bzw. Stulpschienenabschnitte geschieht beispielsweise formschlüssig über Zahnkupplungen. Die AT 380 516 B zeigt eine derartige Kupplungsvorrichtung.Forend rails and drive rods are often combined as a unit, used in a graduated longitudinal groove of a sash frame of doors or windows and are used here in conjunction with drive and locking elements to close or open window or door sashes in various positions or functions. For simple manufacture and adaptation of the faceplate drive rod assembly to the different heights and widths of the sash, these are manufactured in different fixed lengths and adapted to the respective sash frame size by shortening. The connection of the respective drive rod or faceplate sections takes place, for example, in a form-fitting manner via toothed couplings. AT 380 516 B shows such a coupling device.

Nachteilig bei dieser bekannten Kupplungsvorrichtung ergibt sich, daß sowohl die Treibstange als auch die Stulpschiene mit einer Verzahnung ausgebildet werden muß, die länger sein muß als das längste zum Ausgleich der Fensterhöhe oder -breite abzuschneidende Kürzungsmaß. Dabei ergibt sich nachteilig, daß der Querschnitt der Treibstange geschwächt wird und insbesondere bei einer Drückbewegung schneller ausknicken kann. Bei der Stulpschiene ergeben sich nachteilig Schmutzecken in der umlaufenden Nut des Flügelrahmens.A disadvantage of this known coupling device is that both the drive rod and the faceplate must be formed with a toothing that must be longer than that Longest cut to be cut to compensate for the window height or width. The disadvantage here is that the cross-section of the drive rod is weakened and can buckle more quickly, in particular when a pushing movement occurs. With the faceplate, there are disadvantageous dirt corners in the circumferential groove of the casement.

Der Erfindung liegt die Aufgabe zugrunde, die vorbeschriebenen Nachteile auszuräumen und eine einfache und funktionssichere Kupplungsvorrichtung über Verzahnungselemente oder sonstige Formschlußelemente zu finden. Weiterhin besteht die Aufgabe darin, ein einfaches Fertigungsverfahren für diese Kupplungsvorrichtung zu finden.The invention has for its object to overcome the disadvantages described above and to find a simple and reliable coupling device via gear elements or other positive locking elements. Furthermore, the task is to find a simple manufacturing process for this coupling device.

Die Aufgabe wird erfindungsgemäß durch die kennzeichnenden Merkmale des Anspruchs 1 oder 2 gelöst. Vorteilhafte Aus- und Weiterbildungen sind in den Ansprüchen 3 und 6 aufgezeigt. Die Lösung für das Fertigstellungsverfahren ist im kennzeichnenden Teil des Anspruchs 7 beschrieben. Vorteilhafte Weiterbildungen des Verfahrens sowie die vorteilhafte Ausbildung von Werkzeugen zur Durchführung des Verfahrens beschreiben die Ansprüche 8 bis 15.The object is achieved by the characterizing features of claim 1 or 2. Advantageous training and further developments are shown in claims 3 and 6. The solution for the completion process is described in the characterizing part of claim 7. Advantageous further developments of the method and the advantageous configuration of tools for carrying out the method are described in claims 8 to 15.

Die mit der Erfindung erzielten Vorteile bestehen insbesondere darin, daß der Querschnitt von Stulpschiene und Treibstange sich nicht mehr bestimmen durch den von der Verzahnung geschwächten Querschnitt. Dadurch kann die gesamte Einheit dünner ausgebildet werden bzw. es können größere Kräfte übertragen werden.The advantages achieved by the invention consist in particular in that the cross section of the faceplate and drive rod is no longer determined by the cross section weakened by the toothing. As a result, the entire unit can be made thinner or larger forces can be transmitted.

Weiterhin vorteilhaft entfällt der Arbeitsgang des Verzahnens bei der Herstellung des Stulpschienen-Treibstangenverbandes als Produktionsschritt bei der Herstellung. Dieser Arbeitsgang wird auf der Baustelle oder beim Fensterhersteller direkt mit dem sowieso notwendigen Arbeitsgang des Ablängens durchgeführt. Darüber hinaus vorteilhaft ist die Vorratshaltung der Fensterbeschläge wesentlich vereinfacht, da die Enden von Stulpschiene und Treibstange eben und glatt verlaufen. Erst beim Ablängvorgang erfolgt die Ausbildung der Verzahnung oder sonstigen Formgebung, die dann in beliebiger Form dem zugehörigen Kupplungsstück angepaßt werden kann. Dabei ist es auch möglich, wenn eine formschlüssige Verbindung nicht erforderlich ist, auf eine Verzahnung an der Stulpschiene ganz zu verzichten.The gearing operation in the manufacture of the faceplate drive rod assembly is also advantageously eliminated as a production step in the manufacture. This operation is carried out on the construction site or at the window manufacturer directly with the cutting operation which is necessary anyway. About that In addition, the storage of the window fittings is advantageously simplified, since the ends of the faceplate and drive rod are flat and smooth. The toothing or other shaping takes place only during the cutting process, which can then be adapted in any shape to the associated coupling piece. It is also possible, if a positive connection is not necessary, to dispense with toothing on the faceplate.

Ein Ausführungsbeispiel der Erfindung ist in der Zeichnung dargestellt und wird im folgenden näher beschrieben.An embodiment of the invention is shown in the drawing and will be described in more detail below.

Fig. 1 und 2 zeigen die Ansicht einer Stulpschienen-Treibstangenanordnung im Kupplungsbereich mit verschiedenen Verzahnungsausbildungen.1 and 2 show the view of a faceplate drive rod assembly in the coupling area with different toothing designs.

Fig. 3 zeigt verschiedene Ausbildungsvarianten der Verzahnung oder sonstigen Formgebung an den Enden des ablängbaren Treibstangenabschnittes 8 oder Stulpschienenabschnittes 9.3 shows various design variants of the toothing or other shaping at the ends of the cut-to-length drive rod section 8 or faceplate section 9.

Eine Stulpschienen-Treibstangenanordnung 1 wird als Baueinheit in eine außen umlaufende abgestufte Nut 2 eines Flügelrahmens 3 eingesetzt und über Schrauben 4 mit diesem verschraubt. Die Treibstange 5 dient als Bewegungselement dazu, Funktionseinheiten, beispielsweise Verriegelungen zu bewegen. Die Bewegung der Treibstange wird durch ein mit dem Handgriff verbundendes Getriebe eingeleitet. Die Stulpschiene 6 trägt und führt die Treibstange und schließt die Nut 2 nach außen ab. Sie liegt in der äußeren breiteren Nutstufe 7. Die Befestigungsschrauben 4 durchgreifen meistens Stulpschiene 6 und Treibstange 5.A faceplate drive rod assembly 1 is used as a structural unit in an outer circumferential stepped groove 2 of a casement 3 and screwed to it with screws 4. The drive rod 5 serves as a movement element for moving functional units, for example locks. The movement of the drive rod is initiated by a gear connected to the handle. The faceplate 6 carries and guides the drive rod and closes the groove 2 from the outside. It lies in the outer, wider groove step 7. The fastening screws 4 usually reach through the faceplate 6 and drive rod 5.

In den meisten Anwendungen einer Stulpschienen-Treibstangenanordnung, die in einer abgestuften Nut eingesetzt werden, laufen diese wenigstens um drei umlaufende Kanten des Rahmens. Daher müssen beispielsweise Eckumlenkungen an Treibstange und Stulpschiene angekoppelt werden. Diese Ankopplung geschieht üblicherweise durch Zahnstangenverbindungen, die in Zahnaufnahmen des Gegenteils eingreifen. Um zu vermeiden, daß für jedes Rahmenmaß separate Längen der einzelnen Teile gefertigt werden müssen, hat es sich eingespielt, daß einige abgestufte Längen gefertigt werden, die durch Ablängen auf die erforderliche Länge gebracht werden. Dabei hat sich beispielsweise für die Treibstange 5 und die Stulpschiene 6 bewährt, daß der ablängbare Treibstangenabschnitt 8 bzw. Stulpschienenabschnitt 9 mit einer Außenverzahnung 10 bzw. 11 ausgebildet ist, der mit einem Kupplungsschuh 12 bzw. 13 des anderen Treibstangenabschnittes 14 bzw. Stulpschienenabschnittes 15, der mit einer Innenverzahnung versehen ist, zusammenwirkt. Andere Verzahnungsformen oder formschlüssige Verbindungen wie z. B. Schwalbenschwanzverbindungen sind möglich.In most applications of a faceplate drive rod assembly that are used in a stepped groove, these run at least around three circumferential edges of the frame. Therefore, for example, corner drives on the drive rod and faceplate must be used be coupled. This coupling is usually done by rack and pinion connections that engage in tooth receptacles on the contrary. In order to avoid that separate lengths of the individual parts have to be produced for each frame dimension, it has become common practice to produce some graded lengths which are cut to the required length. It has proven useful, for example, for the drive rod 5 and the faceplate 6 that the cut-to-length drive rod section 8 or faceplate section 9 is formed with external toothing 10 or 11, which is connected to a coupling shoe 12 or 13 of the other drive rod section 14 or faceplate section 15, which is provided with an internal toothing, cooperates. Other forms of toothing or positive connections such. B. Dovetail connections are possible.

Für die Verbindung der Stulpschienenabschnitte 9, 15 überdeckt eine Verbindungsplatte 16 den Stoß 17 zwischen den Stulpschienenabschnitten. Diese Verbindungsplatte 16 trägt den Kupplungsschuh 13, der die formschlüssige Verbindung mit dem ablängbaren Stulpschienenabschnitt 9 bildet und wird im anderen Stulpschienenabschnitt 15 längs- oder drehbeweglich gehalten. Im Ausführungsbeispiel weist der Stulpschienenabschnitt 15 einen zentralen Längsschlitz 18 auf, der durch einen Schuh 19 der Verbindungsplatte 16 durchgriffen wird. Über diesen Schuh ist die Verbindungsplatte 16 mit dem Stulpschienenabschnitt 15 verbunden.For the connection of the faceplate sections 9, 15, a connecting plate 16 covers the joint 17 between the faceplate sections. This connecting plate 16 carries the coupling shoe 13, which forms the positive connection with the cut-to-length faceplate section 9 and is held in the other faceplate section 15 in a longitudinally or rotationally movable manner. In the exemplary embodiment, the faceplate section 15 has a central longitudinal slot 18, which is penetrated by a shoe 19 of the connecting plate 16. The connecting plate 16 is connected to the faceplate section 15 via this shoe.

In der Ausbildung nach Fig. 1 weist das Ende 20 des ablängbaren Treibstangenabschnittes und das Ende 21 des ablängbaren Stulpschienenabschnittes jeweils eine seitliche Außenverzahnung 10, 11 auf. Diese seitliche Außenverzahnung faßt jeweils in einen Kupplungsschuh 12, 13 des nicht ablängbaren Treibstangenabschnittes 14 bzw. Stulpschienenabschnittes 15. Die Kupplungsschuhe 12, 13 sind jeweils mit einer Innenverzahnung 22, 23 ausgebildet. Die Außenverzahnungen 10, 11 sind geringfügig länger ausgebildet als die Innenverzahnungen 22, 23.In the embodiment according to FIG. 1, the end 20 of the drive rod section which can be cut to length and the end 21 of the cut-to-length rail section which can be cut to length each have a lateral external toothing 10, 11. This lateral external toothing each fits into a coupling shoe 12, 13 of the drive rod section 14 or faceplate section 15 which cannot be cut to length. The coupling shoes 12, 13 are each formed with internal toothing 22, 23. The external teeth 10, 11 are designed to be slightly longer than the internal teeth 22, 23.

Bei der Ausbildung nach Fig. 2 ist die Treibstangenverbindung entsprechend Fig. 1 ausgebildet. Die Verzahnung der Stulpschiene ist jedoch nicht seitlich angeordnet, sondern an der jeweiligen Anlagefläche 24, 25 zwischen ablängbaren Treibstangenabschnitt 8 und Verbindungsplatte 16. In der Verbindungsplatte sind quer zur Erstreckungsrichtung der Nut 2 Zahnlücken 26 angeordnet, in die ein beim Ablängen des Stulpschienenabschnittes 9 geprägter Zahn 27 eingreift.2, the connecting rod connection is designed in accordance with FIG. 1. However, the toothing of the faceplate is not arranged laterally, but on the respective contact surface 24, 25 between the drive rod section 8 which can be cut to length and the connecting plate 16. In the connecting plate 2 tooth gaps 26 are arranged transversely to the direction of extension of the groove, into which a tooth embossed when the faceplate section 9 is cut to length 27 engages.

Fig. 3 zeigt verschiedene Ausbildungsformen von Verzahnungen, Ausprägungen oder Ausnehmungen, die nach dem beschriebenen Verfahren beim Ablängen hergestellt werden können. Damit kann den verschiedensten Forderungen der Verbindung von Treibstangenabschnitten oder Stulpschienenabschnitten Rechnung getragen werden. In der Ausbildung a sind beidseitig schwalbenschwanzförmige Ausnehmungen ausgeschnitten. In Fig. b sind diese Ausnehmungen ledigleich einseitig ausgebildet. Je nach Erfordernis können auch alle nachfolgend beschriebenen Verbindungsformen einseitig angeordnet sein. Nach c sind Rechteckzähne vorgesehen und nach d eine beidseitige Spitzverzahnung an den Kanten des ablängbaren Treibstangenabschnittes 8 oder Stulpschienenabschnittes 9. Besonders für die Ausbildung der Stulpschienenverbindung eignet sich auch die Ausbildung einer Verzahnung an der Anlagefläche 25 zur Verbindungsplatte 16. In der Ausbildung nach e und f ist vorgesehen, im Randbereich Zähne 27 auszuschneiden und hochzubiegen. In der Ausbildung nach g und h sind diese Zähne 27 mittig ausgeschnitten und hochgebogen.Fig. 3 shows various forms of training of toothing, features or recesses that can be produced by cutting to length using the method described. This allows the most diverse requirements of the connection of connecting rod sections or faceplate sections to be taken into account. In training a, dovetail-shaped recesses are cut out on both sides. In Fig. B, these recesses are formed on one side only. Depending on requirements, all of the connection forms described below can also be arranged on one side. According to c, rectangular teeth are provided, and after d, double-sided serration at the edges of the cut-to-length drive rod section 8 or faceplate section 9. The formation of teeth on the contact surface 25 to the connecting plate 16 is also particularly suitable for forming the faceplate connection. In the embodiment according to e and f it is provided to cut out teeth 27 in the edge region and to bend them up. In the formation according to g and h, these teeth 27 are cut out in the middle and bent up.

Abbildung i zeigt eine weitere Ausbildungsform, vorzugsweise zum Verbinden des ablängbaren Stulpschienenabschnittes 9 mit dem Stulpschienenabschnitt 15. Dabei weist der Stulpschienenabschnitt 15 an seinem Ende eine zentrale Führungsnase 28 auf, die in einen Führungsschlitz 29 eingreift. Weiterhin weisen beide Abschnitte zentrale Bohrungen 30, 31 auf, in die entsprechend ausgebildete Halte- und Befestigungsmittel der aufliegenden Verbindungsplatte 16 eingreifen. Durch die Bohrung 30 greift beispielsweise eine Schraube 4 entsprechend Fig. 1 oder 2. In die Bohrung 31 greift beispielsweise eine zylindrische Nase, wobei der Abstand zwischen Nase und Schraube variabel sein muß.Figure i shows a further embodiment, preferably for connecting the cut-to-length section 9 with the forend section 15. The section 15 has a central guide lug 28 at its end, which engages in a guide slot 29. Furthermore, both sections have central bores 30, 31 into the correspondingly designed holding and fastening means of the overlying connecting plate 16 intervene. For example, a screw 4 according to FIG. 1 or 2 engages through the bore 30. A cylindrical nose engages in the bore 31, the distance between the nose and the screw having to be variable.
