Abstract

The extractable frame securing means, which can be fitted in through all building openings by means of fixing levers, ensures, by means of the covering which is to be fitted, the protection and covering of openings - in particular in the building industry. It stands out from all other prior-art processes due to a considerable saving in time as a result of simple handling, and it thus has the effect of lowering costs. By means of said frame securing means, not only is a large proportion of the costs avoided, but the costs which are due can be calculated more reliably. Moreover, the use and handling of said frame securing means itself does not produce any damage, but is a professional and user-friendly means of protection. The frame securing means - with the cover in place - for closing openings renders superfluous the emergency aids, which have been used hitherto, which themselves, in turn, cause damage (holes/adhesive residues, inter alia) and entail time-consuming and costly repairs. <IMAGE>

Description

Die Rahmenhalterung besteht aus vier äußeren und vier inneren geraden Rahmenschenkeln, die an den Ecken untereinander mit abgerundeten Eckverbindungen verbunden sind. In den Eckverbindungen sind Abstandhalter als Feststellpunkt nach außen eingegossen.The frame bracket consists of four outer and four inner straight frame legs, which are connected to each other at the corners with rounded corner connections. Spacers are cast into the corner connections as a fixing point to the outside.

Eine derartige Rahmenhalterung ist durch DE-U-8709683 bekannt. Die Erfindung bezweckt mit den Merkmalen des Anspruchs 1, die Handhabung zu erleichtern.Such a frame holder is known from DE-U-8709683. The invention aims with the features of claim 1 to facilitate handling.

Der Feststellteil besteht insbesondere aus einer Halterung in U-Form mit einem Hebel als Feststeller,der durch eine Niete befestigt ist. In jeder der vier Führungsrahmenstangen befindet sich eine öffnung für den konischen Teil des Feststellhebels, der beim Herunterdrücken in eine als Gegenlager verwendete, zwischen Führungsstange und Feststellhebel in die öffnung fixiert eingelegte Rundscheibe, eingepresst wird.The locking part consists in particular of a holder in a U-shape with a lever as a lock, which is fastened by a rivet. In each of the four guide frame rods there is an opening for the conical part of the locking lever which, when pressed down, is pressed into a round disk inserted between the guide rod and the locking lever and used as a counter bearing.

Für den Gebrauch wird eine Rahmenhalterung in die zu schließende Öffnung (nach Lösen der Feststellhebel) eingepasst. Abdeckmaterial (z.B. Folie, Stoff) wird hinter die Rahmenhalterung gezogen, so daß sie zwischen öffnung und Vorrichtung abdichtet. Der so bespannte Rahmen wird in die öffnung gedrückt, bis die Halterung in der vorhandenen öffnung derart festsitzt, daß sich die Eckstifte in die vorhandene Ecke/ Wand einklemmen und so der Konstruktion Halt geben, indem sich der Rahmen einspannt. Zur Fixierung der Anpassung werden die vier an den Rahmenstangen angebrachten Feststellhebel umgelegt und somit fixiert. Die nach vorne um die Rahmenstangen umgelappte Abdeckung wird befestigt, z.B. durch Festklemmen mittels Aufdrücken der passgerechten Feststellklammern.For use, a frame bracket is fitted into the opening to be closed (after loosening the locking lever). Covering material (e.g. film, fabric) is pulled behind the frame holder so that it seals between the opening and the device. The frame covered in this way is pressed into the opening until the holder is firmly seated in the existing opening in such a way that the corner pins clamp into the existing corner / wall and thus give the structure support by clamping the frame. To fix the adjustment, the four locking levers attached to the frame rods are flipped over and thus fixed. The cover that is lapped forward around the frame rods is attached, e.g. by clamping by pressing on the fitting clamps.

Handelsübliche Abdeckmaterialen ohne Rahmenhalterung in die Öffnungen (z.B. Fenster / Türen) zu befestigen, war und ist bis heute zeitaufwendig. Die hier vorliegende Rahmenhalterung schützt zeitsparend, Folgeschäden vermeidend und zuverlässig in der Anwendung.Fastening commercially available cover materials into the openings (e.g. windows / doors) without a frame bracket was and still is time-consuming. This frame holder protects time-saving, prevents consequential damage and is reliable in use.

Bei herkömmlichen Methoden werden Nägel, Klebebänder, Heftvorrichtungen u.ä. benutzt, die ihrerseits keinesfalls einen reißsicheren Schutz bieten, sondern zusätzlich die Holz - o.a. - Rahmen beschädigen. Dadurch werden Nachbesserungen, oft sogar mehrfache, notwendig. Auch werden Klebereste / Nägel / Klemmen nicht oder nur teilweise - mit entsprechendem Zeitaufwand - entfernt.Conventional methods use nails, adhesive tapes, staplers and the like. used, which in turn by no means offer tearproof protection, but also the wood - o.a. - Damage the frame. This means that improvements, often even multiple, are necessary. Adhesive residues / nails / clamps are also not removed or only partially - with a corresponding amount of time.

Durch die vorgestellte Rahmenhalterung entfällt die oftmals notwendige Erneuerung der Abdeckung, z.B. durch Sturm/nicht haftende Klebebänder. Auch die bisherige Zerstörung der Abdeckung durch Fensteröffnungsversuche der Mieter tritt nicht mehr auf, da mit dieser Vorrichtung ein Belüftungsabstand von 0,3 bis 0,7 cm rund um das Fenster durch die in die Eckverbindungen des Rahmens eingegossenen Eckstifte - die obigen Abstand von der öffnungsleibung einstellen - erzielt wird.The frame holder presented eliminates the often necessary renewal of the cover, e.g. by storm / non-adhesive tapes. The previous destruction of the cover by attempts to open the window by the tenant no longer occurs, since with this device a ventilation distance of 0.3 to 0.7 cm around the window through the corner pins cast into the corner connections of the frame - the above distance from the opening reveal adjust - is achieved.

Diese Rahmenhalterung erlaubt nun einen sauberen und Bausubstanz schonenden Schutz von Fenstern, Türen u.a.m. Sie ist langfristig immer neu einsetzbar.This frame holder now allows a clean and structural protection of windows, doors, etc. It can always be used in the long term.

Dabei gestaltet sich die Handhabung einfach und zeitsparend im Gegensatz zu den bisher üblichen komplizierten und zeitaufwendigen Konstruktionen.The handling is simple and time-saving in contrast to the previously complicated and time-consuming designs.

Bei Wohnungssanierungen kann diese Rahmenhalterung auch als Raumteiler Anwendung finden. Für den Durchgang der Handwerker dient ein mit Scharnieren versehener Rahmen mit einer zusätzlichen Teleskopstange verbunden, als Tür, die passgerecht in den Raumteiler eingesetzt wird. Die Tür wird mit Abdeckmaterial bespannt, analog dem oben aufgeführten (Fenster/Tür) öffnungsschutz.This frame bracket can also be used as a room divider for apartment renovations. A hinged frame connected to an additional telescopic rod serves as a door for the craftsmen to pass through, which is inserted into the room divider to fit. The door is covered with cover material, analogous to the opening protection listed above (window / door).

Am bodenseitigen Teil der Rahmenhalterung ist auf die Vier-kantstange eine Stufe fugenlos aufsetzbar, die beidseits in einer schrägen Ebene sich dem Bodenniveau annähert und durch diese rampenähnliche Abstützung der Stufe Stabilität und Sicherheit gewährleistet.On the bottom part of the frame bracket, a step can be placed seamlessly on the square rod, which approaches the floor level on both sides in an inclined plane and ensures stability and safety through this ramp-like support of the step.

Für die Vorrichtung einige Anwendungsmöglichkeiten:

  • a) Wetterschutz bis zum Einsetzen neuer Fenster.
  • b) Schutz von öffnungen (Fenster/Türen) während Fassadenrenovierungen.
  • c) Am Neubau, bis Türen und Fenster eingesetzt werden, vor allem bei zu erwartender Schlechtwetterperiode.
  • d) Innen wie außen können alle Fenster schonend und ohne bleibende Schäden vor Verschmutzung geschützt werden. Auch ist die Konstruktion leicht zu entfernen und umzusetzen bei gleicher Öffnungsgröße, so daß z.B. beim Spritzen von Decken- / Wandflächen eine Abdeckung unverändert nacheinander für gleichgroße öffnungen verwendet werden kann. Differenzen können nachgestellt werden!
  • e) Fensteranstricharbeiten erfordern längeres Offenstehen der Flügel. Hierbei kann die bespannte Rahmenhalterung als Schutz bei feuchter Witterung von großem Vorteil sein.
Some possible uses for the device:
  • a) Weather protection until new windows are installed.
  • b) Protection of openings (windows / doors) during facade renovations.
  • c) On new buildings until doors and windows are used, especially when the bad weather is expected.
  • d) Inside and outside, all windows can be gently protected from dirt and without permanent damage. The construction is also easy to remove and implement with the same opening size, so that, for example when spraying ceiling / wall surfaces, a cover can be used unchanged one after the other for openings of the same size. Differences can be adjusted!
  • e) Window painting work requires the sash to be open for a longer period. The covered frame holder can be of great advantage as protection in damp weather.
