Abstract

The present invention concerns a door or window element, preferably for the walls of a container intended for use as an office and/or housing. The inventive element comprises a frame (1) for at least one door or window component (2a) to be mounted thereon such as a leaf or wing of a pivot-hung door or window or something similar, and a sunshade interlocked with the door or window element and mounted removably thereon by means of a built-in securing device inside the frame (1) of said window element (2a). The frame (1) is so designed as to limit both the contour of the window component to be mounted thereon (2a) and, beyond that, the contour intended for receiving the removeable sunshade; and the upper frame limit (4') consists of a cross-profile (4) intended for use as a separator between the area for receiving the sunshade and that provided for incorporating the window component (2a).

Description

Door or window element

The invention relates to a door or window element according to the preamble of claim 1.

Door or window elements of the type mentioned have a frame for the arrangement of one or more window parts, such as pivotable or tiltable window or door sashes or fixed glazing. The frames are used particularly in living or office containers.

With prefabricated units of this type, the ease of installation of add-on parts, the space required, the suitability for use and the external visual design of add-on parts play a major role.

Conventional door and window elements are used in corresponding wall cutouts and subsequently with z. B. roller blinds, which are arranged in the shutter boxes to be built and run in clipped on the door or window frames guides. The associated assembly effort is considerable. Due to the front of the roller shutter box, the visual appearance is disturbed.

CLEARANCE COPY DE 32 34 482 AI discloses a frame on which an attached to the top and projecting outwardly box for receiving a blind is placed. The frame ends below the blind box. The roller shutter box forms an additional component connected to the frame. This involves a considerable amount of assembly work for attaching the roller shutter box to the frame. In addition, such a solution is optically unattractive and requires complex fasteners in order to hold the entire unit securely.

DE 29 39 028 AI discloses a prefabricated wall element which delimits a recess for the later use of a roller shutter box and a further recess for the use of a window frame. Here too, a great deal of assembly and sealing work is required for the window frames and separate roller shutter boxes to be inserted into the wall element.

The invention is concerned with the problem of simplifying the assembly of door or window elements and also to achieve high mechanical stability with reduced parts or material requirements. The invention solves this problem with the features of claim 1. With regard to further advantageous refinements, reference is made to claims 2 to 13.

The formation of an integrally surrounding frame both the window parts arranged on it and the receiving area arranged above it for window surface protection, such as a blind, awning or the like, means that only a part has to be inserted into the wall cutout for assembly. It is therefore unnecessary to fit individual parts for the blind, roller blind or awning receptacle on the one hand and for the window part arrangement, in particular window or door leaf receptacle, on the other hand during assembly.

With the formation of a cross profile, which separates the receiving area of the window parts from the receiving area of the blind or the like and at the same time serves as an upper limit for the installation of one or more window parts, a material saving is achieved, since this cross profile fulfills a double function for the previously two Components were necessary. In addition, the overall element is stiffened overall by the integrated cross profile which is firmly connected to the side profiles, and is consequently a component which also withstands the greatest loads. By integrating the recording area in the frame, the blind or the like can be completely pre-assembled. The frame with the complete sun protection can then be used as a finished unit in the wall cutout.

The transverse profile is preferably offset inwards relative to the outer surfaces of the frame profiles delimiting the frame, and when a cover which closes the blind area on the front side can be fitted, the front of the cover can be essentially flush with the outer surface of the edge profiles. As a result, a through-channel for a blind, a blind, an awning or the like can be provided between the cross profile and the cover, which is also overlapped by the edge profiles and therefore does not protrude beyond the front surface of the window element.

Furthermore, guide rails for this blind or similar window surface protection can be provided on vertical spars of the edge profiles.

The frame of the door or window element is particularly advantageously designed in such a way that it comprises an outer and an inner frame part, which can be connected to one another in different positions and therefore one Allow adjustment of the frame width to different wall thicknesses.

Further advantages and details emerge from the drawing and the following description of exemplary embodiments.

The drawing shows:

2 is a diagrammatic detailed view of the upper corner area of the window element,

3 is an exploded view of a window element according to the invention in rear view,

Fig. 5 shows an alternative embodiment of one in the

Mounting area for blinds to be mounted, 6 shows a front frame part with slat blinds to be mounted thereon and movable on vertical rails,

7 is a view similar to FIG. 6 with a roller blind to be mounted in the receiving area,

FIG. 8 shows a representation similar to FIG. 7 with an awning that can be set up in certain areas as window surface protection.

Specifically, the frame 1 of the door or window element has an area 2 for receiving the window parts, in particular tiltable and pivotable window sashes, and a receiving area 3 for receiving a roll-out or roll-up blind, a roller blind, an awning or a similar window surface protection . The areas 2 and 3 are delimited from one another by a cross profile 4, the cross profile 4 closing off the receiving area 3 on the underside and forming an abutment 4 ¹ for the window or door leaf to be mounted in the receiving area 2 for window parts. The receiving area 3 is arranged stationary with respect to the frame 1, ie it does not pivot in or out with the wing or can be tilted with the latter. Instead of swiveling or tilting window or door surface parts, for example fixed glazing can also be used, in which the windows cannot be opened, as is often used for commercial building facades with air conditioning systems.

In any case, the frame 1 with its edge profiles 6 encompasses both the area 2 for receiving the window parts and the receiving area 3. This results in a uniform mounting element, preferably optically highlighted by the continuous course of the vertical bars 10 of the edge profiles 6.

The transverse profile 4 is offset inwards relative to the front faces 5 of the edge profiles 6. The receiving area 3 is covered on the front by a cover 7, which can be flexible or rigid and can be clipped onto pins 8, for example, so that the cover 7 can be easily dismantled in order to also allow access to the receiving area 3 from the front. In the sense of burglary protection, the screen 7 can also be mounted behind the front vertical bars 10, so that opening from the outside is excluded. The aperture 7 will then consist in particular of a stable sheet, for example aluminum. At the rear, the receiving area 3 is closed off by a cover 7 ', which can also be removed and preferably with parts molded onto the frame 1 locked. The cover 7 'can be provided with a ventilation grille 22.

The front cover 7 closes with its front side substantially flush with the outer surface 5 of the edge profiles 6, so that there is a uniform front surface. In addition, the cover 7 overlaps the cross section 4 at least in some areas, so that when the blinds are rolled up or retracted or the like, the latter becomes completely invisible, since it is completely stored behind the cover 7.

This arrangement, together with the inwardly displaced cross profile 4, forms a through-channel 9 between the cross profile 4 and the cover 7, through which the blind or the like can be moved in and out.

To guide the retraction and extension of the blind 20, 6 guide rails 11 for the blind 20 are formed on the vertical spars 10 of the edge profiles, in which the latter runs during their retraction or extension. These guide rails can be integrally formed on the edge profiles 6 or form additional components. The guide rails 11 are particularly advantageously molded in one piece behind the front surfaces 5 of the vertical spars 10 in the edge profiles 6, so that a further assembly effort is also unnecessary here. 4, the blind 20 can be rolled up onto a shaft 23, which is held in the receiving area 3. A crank 24 can be led out laterally and fixed in a clip part 25 on the frame 12. The cover 7 'can be designed differently (Fig. 4, Fig. 5), wherein a ventilation unit 22 can be provided.

In the embodiment according to FIG. 6, the blind 26 is moved up and down in external lateral guide rails 11b and does not roll up on a shaft. These guide rails 11b can be held in front of the vertical bars 10 of the edge profiles 6. Inner guide rails 11 of the edge profiles 10 can then be closed by clip-in panels 27. The upper end element 26b of the blind 26, in which the pulling mechanism for the movement of the blind 26 is arranged, protrudes with a partial area over the front of the frame 1, so that the receiving space 3 is extended towards the front in this case, for which purpose spacers 7b are provided, which ensure a distance of the panel 7 from the front of the frame 1. However, the blind 26 does not run completely in front of the frame, but can use the interior of the frame for the rear areas of the slats due to the inward displacement of the cross section 4 relative to the front of the frame 1. This is a only minimal protrusion of the blind 26 secured to the outside. In order to increase the width of the receiving space 3 in the frame 1 for receiving the closing element 26b, a partial area of the edge profiles 6 can be excluded, for example milled out.

7, the assembly of a roller blind 28 is provided, the lower transverse end 29 of which can also be guided in lateral guide rails 11 and which has a shaft 30 for winding, which is mounted in the receiving area 3.

According to FIG. 8, an awning 30 is provided as window surface protection, which can first be moved downwards in lateral guides 31, in which case its lower transverse end 32 can be swung out by means of a swivel bracket 33 held in the guides 31. Since the profiles 31 can be placed on the longitudinal spars 10 on the front, the integrated guide rails 11 can in turn be optically closed by clips 27 that can be clipped on. In this version too, the recording room 3 is extended towards the front. For this purpose, spacers 7b are used again as spacers for the front cover 7. It is also possible, for example, to combine an awning 30 with a blind 20 on a window element, in which case the blind 20 in the guide rails 11 and the march kise 30 runs in the front guide rails 11b.

In the formation of a roller blind 28 or an awning 30 or a blind 26 that can only be moved up and down vertically, the extent of the area 3 for receiving the window surface protection inwards can be kept small, so that there is no box with a cover 7 in the interior of the building 'protrudes. Rather, the rear cover 7 ″ of the area 3 can be flush with the back of the frame 12.

The assembly variability is also particularly facilitated in that the frame 1 can be adapted to different wall thicknesses, for which purpose it forms an outer frame part 12 and an inner frame part 13, which can be connected to one another in different positions. In the present example, the front and rear frame parts 12, 13 form cross legs 14, 15 which are directed towards the wall and have latching profiles 16, 17 on their mutually facing sides. The latching profiles are sawtooth-shaped in cross-section, so that only a small force has to be used to push the frame parts 12, 13 into one another, whereas the pulling apart of the frame parts 12, 13 is inhibited. During assembly, the individual frame parts 12, 13 are inserted into the wall cutout from the front or rear and then compressed when the wall parts delimiting the cutout are encompassed, so that the web-like formations 18, 19 are supported on the wall parts delimiting the wall cutout. The web-like projections 18, 19 are formed by partial areas of the edge profiles 6 or the corresponding counterparts of the inner frame part 13, an additional structural design is therefore unnecessary. The sawtooth profiling 16, 17 on the transverse legs 14, 15 prevents the assembled frame 1 from accidentally falling apart.

Preferably, the cross legs 14, 15 are completely surrounded over the entire frame 1 with the locking profiles 16, 17, so that the largest possible engagement surface between the front and rear frame parts 12, 13 results in the connected position of the parts.

If standards are adhered to, frames 1 with a front frame part 12 and a rear frame part 13, which encompass the wall parts delimiting the wall cutout with web-like projections 18, 19, can significantly reduce the assembly effort, since lateral foaming can be dispensed with, the frame lies essentially closer to the wall parts, so that the thermal insulation is improved. The locking of the front and rear frame parts 12, 13 can of course also be achieved in other ways, for example by screw connections which are accessible from one side of the frame. However, the locking system presented here has the advantage that the complete assembly of the door or window elements can be carried out with a single pushing movement directed towards the wall.
