Definitions

  • the invention relates to a frame for windows, Doors or facades, with a glass edge bracket for the edge of a glazing, in particular a multi-pane insulating glazing weather side with a glass stop, in Area of the glazing essentially L-shaped or U-shaped trained glass holding profile, which on an element of a Window or door frame or a facade construction is detachably connected, the glass holding profile a plastic of high strength and less There is thermal conductivity, the front of which Glazing area approximately in the middle of a recess which has a running in the plane of the glazing Drainage channel forms the rest of the front largely lies flush, with the glass holding profile on its end facing away from the glass stop Has connection profile.
  • GB 2 259 323 A is a window with a wooden frame known in which the double glazing Disk using a rebate base profile in the glass receiving rebate the frame is held.
  • the folding base profile is weather side with the disc Sealing elements provided and is the bottom of the Glass pick-up fold over several support ridges.
  • the rebate base profile is also fixed in direction perpendicular to the frame plane by means of a nail.
  • a disadvantage of such a construction is that it is unsuitable for use in facade construction because it is unable to get there under wind load absorbing suction forces occurring or in the frame be reconciled. These forces would deform the Sealing elements lead and could even one Shifting the fold base profile cause something Detach the inner sealing strip from the glazing pulled.
  • the invention has for its object a To create a glass rim holder of the type mentioned at the beginning, those in facade construction, especially when used metallic frame, can be used and the required Thermal insulation guaranteed, in addition to the
  • stepped glass can be dispensed with also drainage and vapor pressure compensation ensures and is also easy to assemble.
  • the advantage achieved by the invention is essential in that through the plastic trained glass holding profile with which the connection to Frame producing connection profile on the insulation level outside front is pulled. Furthermore there is a possibility that the contiguous Glazing elements with a small mutual distance to be placed next to each other, thereby creating an all-glass facade there are hardly any disturbing gaps.
  • connection profile expediently is positively received on the frame, so relieved this not only the assembly, but also admits a generally complementary non-positive connection increased hold.
  • the connection profile can advantageously in essentially perpendicular to the plane of the glazing be aligned.
  • the Drainage channel one from a fluidic point of view optimized, minimal cross-section.
  • the Drainage channel advantageously in cross section Edge contour of approximately trapezoidal, arched, oval or transitional forms from it have a forming shape, so that only a small Weakening of the glass holding profile is achieved.
  • the glass holding profile on that of the drainage channel opposite side has a projection that the contour the drainage channel roughly follows, causing the through the drainage channel weakening of the Glass holding profile is balanced. It is expedient the glass holding profile in the area of the drainage channel Provide drainage holes.
  • connection profile has a Cross-sectional expansion with which the glass holding profile on the window or door frame or the Façade construction intervenes. It can the connection profile on the facing away from the glazing Side concave in cross section and on the opposite lying side be flat, the free Edge of the connection profile, the cross-sectional expansion forms. This contour also facilitates the Assembly of the glass holding profile through the concave Design undergoes a pivoting movement when inserted. This also turns on the glass stop Contact pressure is generated on the glazing.
  • connection profile of two with Distance from each other, parallel to each other aligned ledges is formed between themselves a protruding profile rail of the window or Door frame or the facade construction.
  • the facing surfaces of the strips and / or the profile rail advantageously a Have teeth that self-releasing prevent each other.
  • connection profile adjacent pressure profile can be provided, the detachable or firmly on the window or door frame or the Facade construction connected and with the Connection profile is screwed.
  • the screw takes here However, no load, but only backs up the form fit.
  • the glass holding profile with a sheet steel in particular a stainless steel sheet insert is provided.
  • This sheet steel insert is one of the Glass holding profile giving a higher strength Reinforcement and on the other hand serves as Fire protection measure than the glazing even then is held by the sheet steel insert when the Plastic is already destroyed.
  • the Sheet steel insert is perforated, so that through the Sheet steel insert separated halves of the Glass holding profile through the perforation an intimate Connect with each other.
  • the sheet steel insert can be an endless profile through the whole Extend the length of the glass holding profile or only as a short one Sections be formed so that at one Glazing element, for example, two short each Sheet steel inlays in the horizontal, upper ones and lower glass holding profiles are provided.
  • the glass holding profile can also at its Glass stop adjacent edge of an undercut Have receiving groove for a sealing profile that one corresponding sealing profile of the adjacent Glass stop is applied and thus for a seal in the area of the outer front.
  • the glass holding profile can be made of plastic materials of different types, provided they are have sufficient strength. As advantageous in In this sense, it has proven to be the case Glass holding profile made of glass fiber reinforced polyamide.
  • the Glass stopper from the from the glass holding profile protruding sheet steel insert is formed. It can the area of the glass stop Sheet steel insert by folding inwards or outwards be double-layered.
  • the embodiments shown in the drawing show glass edge brackets in the form of a Glass holding profile 1, the edge of the glazing 2, in particular a multi-pane insulating glazing grip around on the weather side with a glass stop 3.
  • This glass edge bracket can be used for windows, Doors as well as facades.
  • the glass holding profile 1 is in the Area of the glazing 2 essentially L-shaped or U-shaped trained and on an element of a window or Door frame 4 or a facade construction 5 detachable connected.
  • the glass holding profile 1 consists of a Plastic of high strength and less Thermal conductivity.
  • the glass holding profile 1 End face of the glazing 2 essentially over its entire width flush.
  • a connection profile 6 forming end is the glass holding profile 1 in positive connection with the window or Door frame 4 or the facade construction 5.
  • the glass holding profile 1 has on its end face Glazing 2 side facing one in the plane of the Glazing 2 running drainage channel 7.
  • This Drainage channel 7 is in the shape Conveniently designed so that they are as possible slight weakening of the glass holding profile 1 leads. Cheap is therefore approximately in cross section circular arc or oval edge contour.
  • To one Weakening of the glass holding profile 1 in the area of Avoid drainage channel 7 is in the Embodiments of FIGS. 1 and 2 on the Drainage channel 7 facing away from a rib-shaped Projection 8 provided.
  • connection profile 6 may also only have one very weakly developed cross-sectional expansion, with the glass holding profile 1 on the window or door frame 4 or the facade construction 5 engages positively.
  • connection profile 6 on the facing away from the glazing 2 Side concave in cross section and on the opposite lying side trained. This widens the free edge of the connection profile 6 slightly, the thus also forms the cross-sectional expansion.
  • connection profile 6 of two with Distance from each other, parallel to each other aligned ledges 10 is formed between them record a mounting rail 11 by the Facade construction 5 protrudes.
  • the one another facing surfaces of the strips 10 and / or the Profile rail 11 is not shown in the drawing have teeth shown.
  • a sheet steel insert 13 can be inserted into the glass holding profile 1 be introduced, as is dashed in FIGS. 1 to 3 is indicated.
  • This sheet steel insert 13, which - also from Heat conduction reasons - in particular made of stainless steel, is expediently provided with a perforation through which the steel sheet insert 13 on both sides located plastic areas in connection stand and thus ensure a higher strength.
  • This sheet steel insert 13 serves as the one hand Reinforcement that promotes rigidity, on the other hand as complementary fire protection measure.
  • the glass holding profile 1 is also at its Glass stop 3 adjacent edge with a undercut receiving groove 14 for a sealing profile 15 provided that to seal against an adjacent arranged glazing 2 is used.
  • the glass holding profile 1 itself can consist of different types of plastics, as far as they have sufficient strength. Cheap is to provide glass fiber reinforced polyamide for this.
  • Glass holding profile 1 on a Window frame 4 is inserted. It sits here too Glass holding profile 1 in turn form-fitting in frame 4, however, additionally has a projection 16 which at closed window of a protruding frame Sealing lip 17 is present.
  • the glass stop (3) can, as shown in Fig. 5, also from that emerging from the glass holding profile (1) Steel sheet insert (13) be formed.
  • Liner strips 18 may be arranged of low hardness, the along the entire edge or only in the to the Glazing corners extending adjacent edge areas. As a result, those that are usually always present Tolerances of the glass edge can be compensated without greater loads or tensions the glazing affect.
  • the insert strip 18 can consist of EPDM, for example.
