Definitions

  • the invention relates to an elastic strand seal for windows, doors or the like., With a hollow section formed as a head region, which has a profile back, which in turn with a sealing foot with retaining lips for anchoring in a retaining groove of a sash rebate or the like. is provided.
  • the head area in the case of strand seals is designed as a closed hollow profile (such as DE-GM 84 18 539), because stronger restoring forces can be built up in the sealing area, particularly in the case of sealing engagement.
  • the sealing web provided there for sealing against the counter surface to be sealed consists of a plurality of web sections, this web section or at least several of these in succession with the sealing engagement the sealing surface to be sealed come into contact and thus form an improved sealing surface which is particularly suitable for compensating larger tolerances.
  • Strand sections are additionally supported by support webs in relation to the back of the profile or reach the supporting opposite system during sealing engagement (DE-GM 87 02 653).
  • the invention proposes an elastic strand seal for windows, doors or the like, which has a hollow section of a head region with a profile back, which in turn has a sealing foot with retaining lips for anchoring in a retaining groove a sash rebate or the like is provided, wherein the sealing head on its side opposite the profile back has a sealing web consisting of three individual sections, which is connected at one end to one end of the profile back via a bulging in the direction of the inner region of the hollow cross-section or there buckling connecting web and at his the other end opens into a crosspiece which is connected to the profile crosspiece via a support web which projects into it at a distance from the back of the profile and projects obliquely on the same side as the sealing web from the crosspiece, furthermore the individual sections of the sealing web are each pivotably connected to one another , viewed in cross section, run essentially straight and in the non-installed state of the strand seal, the central individual section to the individual section running from
  • An elastic strand seal with the basic structure of the hollow cross-section used in the invention in the head area allows the acceptance of particularly large tolerances, since the sealing web, which lies opposite the profile back and forms the side of the hollow cross-section facing the sealing surface, due to the three individual sections forming it and their mutual Arrangement to each other covers a comparatively large initial width for the hollow cross section, within which a sealing engagement and thus the formation of a sealing effect is ensured.
  • the sealing profile according to the invention also offers a comparatively soft deflection behavior during sealing engagement, for which the special configuration and alignment of the three individual sections of the sealing web are responsible in particular.
  • the alignment of the individual sections of the sealing web in relation to one another in the unloaded state of the seal also ensures that, when there is a sealing engagement, the individual section starting from the connecting web collapses relative to the central individual section of the sealing web and only together when a relatively large relative pivoting of the former individual section to the central section is achieved can be pivoted relative to the third section running out of the crosspiece.
  • a targeted and graded deformation of the individual sections of the sealing web can be produced in succession in a desired sequence, which allows a particularly good design with regard to achieving a good sealing engagement.
  • Due to the pivotability of the individual web sections relative to one another the build-up of undesirable constraints due to the occurrence of bending elements or the like is largely also within the sealing web. avoided.
  • the strand seal according to the invention nevertheless offers a "soft" and comfortable indentation behavior for the user, which permits good closing of the corresponding windows or doors with an excellent sealing effect.
  • the sealing foot can be provided in the extension of the profile back or, for other applications, also approximately in the middle of the profile back and running essentially vertically from it.
  • a further second support web which is positioned obliquely towards the lower end of the sealing foot and which opens into the cross web approximately at the point at which the support web also runs out of the cross web, is preferably attached in the region of the sealing foot. wherein the support web with the profile back and the second support web forms a triangular arrangement.
  • a particularly preferred embodiment of the strand seal according to the invention consists in the fact that the support web on its web section adjacent to the cross web has a bulge that bulges out towards the interior of the hollow cross section of the sealing head, against which the facing side of the individual section of the sealing web connected to the cross web can be applied when swiveling in with sealing engagement .
  • a thickening bulging into the interior of the hollow cross section could additionally be provided on the inside of this individual section (or only on this). This effectively prevents undesired folding up or setting up of the crossbar in the event of a sealing engagement.
  • Another preferred embodiment of the elastic strand seal also consists in the fact that from the end of the profile back from which the connecting web runs, at a distance which is greater than the maximum bulge of the connecting web in the event of a sealing engagement, on the inside of the hollow cross section of the head region Profile back a projecting shape is attached to which the central individual section of the sealing web is not yet in contact with sealing engagement when the individual section of the sealing web connected to the crossbar comes to rest against the thickening of the support web, but with a further narrowing of the Sealing gap, the central individual section of the sealing web can also be supported with respect to the profile back, and then the build-up of a high resistance to further narrowing of the sealing gap occurs.
  • the individual sections of the sealing web are preferably connected to one another or to the respectively associated connecting or transverse web via an articulation point, which are advantageously connected in the form of a depression or keyway that weakens the web cross section.
  • the strand seal according to the invention also consists in the fact that the central individual section of the sealing web runs into the individual section running from the connecting web on its underside facing the profile back, this individual section extending beyond the connection point with the central individual section and the projecting end section, which is in the form of an obliquely projecting sealing lip (in the non-installed state of the seal), in the case of sealing engagement and alignment of the two individual sections with respect to one another in a depression provided on the corresponding outer side of the central web section, such that in the aligned state the The outer sides of both individual sections lying away from the hollow cross section lie essentially in one plane, which makes it possible to form a particularly large sealing surface.
  • the length of the central individual section of the sealing web is preferably selected to be greater than the length of each of the other two individual sections, again, preferably, the central individual section being approximately twice as long as the length of each of the other two individual sections which are substantially equal to one another. It has shown that with such a geometry particularly favorable conditions are created in the case of sealing engagement.
  • crossbar forms a web section which projects beyond the connection point with the one individual section and is directed away from the profile back.
  • the sealing profile shown in cross section (enlarged) in FIG. 1, which preferably consists of a foamed material or of an elastic material such as TPE, soft PVC or APTK, has a head region 1 designed as a hollow cross section with a profile back 2 and a foot region 3 , on which a retaining lip projecting obliquely on one side is attached, which on its underside again has a smaller retaining lip 5 for better anchoring in a (not shown) receiving groove 20 of a sash rebate 21 of a window or a door (see FIG. 7) .
  • the head region 1 designed as a hollow profile is formed on one side by a section of a profile back 2.
  • a sealing web 6 is provided, which consists of three individual sections 6.1, 6.2 and 6.3.
  • the uppermost individual section 6.1 in FIG. 1 is connected at its upper end via a connecting web 7 to the upper end of the profile back 2.
  • the connecting web 7 is bent or bulged in the direction of the interior of the hollow cross section.
  • the sealing web 6 runs on its lower, i.e. the foot region 3 towards the end into a crosspiece 8, which in turn is offset at a small distance from this junction in the direction of the profile back 2 into an oblique support web 9 which in turn projects from the crosspiece 8 to the same side as the sealing web 6 and diagonally connects the crossbar 8 with the profile back 2.
  • a second support web 10 branches off from the crosspiece 8 obliquely downwards in the direction towards the foot end of the profile back 2.
  • the first support web 9, the second support web 10 and the profile back 2 as the figures show well, form a very dimensionally stable triangular cross section, which becomes very stiff at the end of the sealing engagement.
  • the lengths L1, L and L3 of the individual sections 6.1, 6.2 and 6.3 of the sealing web 6 are selected in the exemplary embodiment shown such that the length L of the central individual section 6.2 is twice as long as the length L1 of the section 6.1 or the length L3 of the section 6.3 is, the lengths L1 and L3 of the two individual sections 6.1 and 6.3 are approximately the same size.
  • a projecting profile 12 is formed thereon (and additionally also on the supporting web 9), which in the form of two individual projections projecting there, mirror-symmetrical to one another 12.1 (on the profile back 2) and 12.2 (on the support web 9) is formed.
  • these projections 12.1 and 12.2 protrude equally far into the interior of the hollow cross section and serve in the installed state, as can be seen from FIG. 10 is to provide additional support for the central individual section 6.2 of the sealing web 6, if this should be moved further beyond the sealing engagement position shown in FIG. 10 in the direction of the profile back 2 by particularly great pressure of the counter surface 22 to be sealed.
  • the support is so strong that considerably increased forces are then required for a further reduction of the sealing gap S.
  • the bottom individual section 6.3 running upward from the crosspiece 8 extends approximately parallel to the profile back 2 in the strand seal shown there, while the middle individual section 6.2 is positioned opposite it by an acute angle ⁇ and in a direction that points away from the profile back 2.
  • the uppermost individual section 6.1 is in turn set at an also acute angle ⁇ with respect to the central individual section 6.2, but in an opposite direction, i.e. so that it again slopes towards the (elongated) profile back 2.
  • the section 6.1 coming from the connecting web 7 is extended beyond the connection point with the central section 6.2 of the sealing web 6 by an end section 14, which in the case of sealing engagement with an essentially straight alignment of both sections 6.1 and 6.2 relative to one another a corresponding depression 15 provided on the outside of section 6.2 can be received in such a way that the outside of both sections 6.1 and 6.2 facing away from the hollow cross section lie essentially in one plane.
  • the sealing profile is inserted with its foot region 3 into the receiving groove 20 of a sash rebate 21 of a window or a door, the cross bar 8 covering and sealing the holding groove 20 on the outside thereof at the top.
  • Fig. 7 shows the seal shortly after Berginn of the sealing engagement, at a time at which the counter surface 22 to be sealed has already reduced the sealing gap S to such an extent that the uppermost individual section 6.1 on its outside completely against the outer surface of the counter surface 22 to be sealed (approximately a door or window frame).
  • the uppermost individual section 6.1 and the central individual section 6.2 are tilted together in the direction of the profile back 2, so that in the illustration according to FIG. 8 the three individual sections 6.1, 6.2 and 6.3 are almost continuously aligned with each other.
  • the initial alignment of the individual sections 6.1, 6.2 and 6.3 ensures one another (as can also be seen in the figures without further notice) can) that in this initial step of the sealing engagement, the central individual section 6.2 provides good support with respect to the upper individual section 6.1 and in turn can be excellently supported on the lower individual section 6.3 for transmitting the forces in the longitudinal direction.
  • the sealing engagement is finally carried out up to the end position shown in FIG. 10, in which the lowermost individual section 6.3, with its inner surface lying in the hollow cross section, is supported on top of the thickening 11 of the support web 9.
  • the counter surface of the part 22 to be sealed can still lie at a very small distance from the outer surface of the central web section 6.2 facing it.
  • the thickness of the middle web section 6.2 or the depth a of the depression on the outside of the middle web section 6.2 (cf. FIG.
  • the thickness of the protruding lip 14 on the uppermost web section 6.1 can also be selected such that when folded completely of the upper web section 6.1 and the resultant running in of the sealing lip 14 into the depression a of the middle web section 6.2, a sealing system occurs not only on the outside of the upper web section 6.1, but also on the outside of the middle web section 6.2 (not shown in the figures).
  • a bulge 23 which is only indicated in the figures, can be provided on the profile spine 2, which is so large that, in the final state of the sealing engagement (corresponding to the state in FIG. 10), the bulging inwards there lying leg of the connecting web 7 can be supported on this bulge 23 (not shown in the figures).
  • the three individual sections 6.1, 6.2 and 6.3 are fastened to one another via articulation points 13 in such a way that they can be tilted to one another easily and particularly easily and without transmission of any significant torques.
  • These articulation points which are also formed between the two outermost individual sections 6.1 and 6.3 and the webs connected to them (connecting web 7 or cross web 8), are preferably, as shown in the figures, designed by thinning the cross-section of the sealing web 6 in the form of notches 13 .
  • the shapes of the sealing cross section from FIGS. 5 and 6 differ from one another in that the individual sections 6.1 and 6.2 are shaped differently: in FIG. 5, the middle section 6.2 forms a continuous surface 30 on its upper side, while in FIG. 6 the surface of this individual section 6.2 has a lowering in the end region adjoining section 6.1.
  • section 6.1 is fastened here via a notch groove 31 formed on its underside as a hinge point to the middle section 6.2, while in FIG. 5 this hinge point is realized by providing a notch groove 32.
