Description

Die Erfindung betrifft die Verwendung einer Profilschiene nach dem Oberbegriff des Patentanspruchs 1.The invention relates to the use of a rail according to the preamble of patent claim 1.

Bei Wandöffnungen in Wänden, z.B. einem Mehrschalenmauerwerk, wird vielfach eine Montage von Fenster- oder Türrahmen unmittelbar im Bereich von Abschnitten aus nicht tragendem Material verlangt. Um diese Abschnitte aus nicht tragendem Material zu überbrücken, werden bisher zumindest an der unteren Begrenzung einer Wandöffnung Plattenelemente aus Holz aufgelegt. Anschließend wird der Tür- oder Fensterrahmen mittels Keilen oder zusätzlichem Unterlegmaterial in der Höhe einjustiert. Zusätzliche Verstellmöglichkeiten sind bei einer solchen Konstruktion jedoch nicht mehr möglich.For wall openings in walls, e.g. a multi-shell masonry, a mounting of window or door frame is often required directly in the range of sections of non-supporting material. In order to bridge these sections of non-load-bearing material, plate elements made of wood have hitherto been placed on at least the lower boundary of a wall opening. Then the door or window frame is adjusted in height by means of wedges or additional backing material. However, additional adjustment options are no longer possible with such a construction.

Zwar sind einige Ausführungsvarianten von zur Abstützung eines Fenster- oder Türrahmens geeigneten Verstellelementen bekannt, welche jedoch ebenfalls keine Möglichkeit der Abstützung unmittelbar auf einem Wandabschnitt aus nicht tragfähigem Material bieten. Bei solchen Konstruktionen handelt es sich zumeist um eine Art Schlauder, welche jedoch lediglich dazu dient, einen Fenster- oder Türrahmen quer zu dessen Ebene unverschiebbar mit der Begrenzung einer Wandöffnung zu verbinden. Derartige Ausführungen sind beispielsweise aus der DE-U-296 19 703 , der DE-A-196 31 016 , der DE-U-297 09 238 , der EP-A-0 787 880 und der EP-B-0 491 010 bekannt.Although some embodiments of suitable for supporting a window or door frame adjusting elements are known, which, however, also provide no possibility of support directly on a wall section of non-sustainable material. In such constructions is usually a kind of sly, but which only serves to connect a window or door frame transversely to its plane immovably with the boundary of a wall opening. Such embodiments are for example from the DE-U-296 19 703 , of the DE-A-196 31 016 , of the DE-U-297 09 238 , of the EP-A-0 787 880 and the EP-B-0 491 010 known.

Das vorstehend letztgenannte Dokument betrifft ein Verfahren und eine Einrichtung zum dauerhaften einstellbaren Verbinden von zwei Strukturelementen wie einem Tür- oder Fensterrahmen einerseits und einer umgebenden stationären Gebäudestruktur andererseits, die gegeneinander versetzt angeordnet sind. Für diese Verbindung wird ein Profilelement verwendet, das eine Platte oder einfach ein Flacheisen sein kann, welche(s) auf gewünschte Weise gebogen werden kann, also z. B. zu einer Art Winkelschiene. Das Profilelement hat außer einem Langloch und einem runden Loch eine an dem Profilelement angeformte oder angebrachte Gewindebüchse, die ein Loch aufweist und in einer Ausnehmung eines Verstellelements aufgenommen wird. Das Profilelement dient also zusammen mit der vorstehenden Gewindebüchse zum Abstützen des Verstellelements in einer bestimmten Position.The above-mentioned document relates to a method and a device for permanently adjustable connection of two structural elements such as a door or window frame on the one hand and a surrounding stationary building structure on the other hand, which are arranged offset from one another. For this compound, a profile element is used, which may be a plate or simply a flat iron, which (s) can be bent in a desired manner, ie z. B. to a kind of angle rail. The profile element has except a slot and a round hole formed on the profile element or threaded bushing, which has a hole and is received in a recess of an adjusting element. The profile element thus serves together with the projecting threaded bushing for supporting the adjusting element in a specific position.

Eine Profilschiene, wie sie bei der Verwendung der eingangs genannten Art eingesetzt wird, ist aus dem Dokument FR-A-2 725 263 bekannt. Ein durch diese Profilschiene abgestützter Fenster- oder Türrahmen ist mit einem auf der Profilschiene verschiebbaren Verstellelement in der Längsrichtung der Profilschiene verstellbar.A profile rail, as used in the use of the aforementioned type, is from the document FR-A-2 725 263 known. A supported by this rail window or door frame is adjustable with a sliding on the rail adjustment in the longitudinal direction of the rail.

Aus dem Dokument DE 295 10 005 U ist eine zweiteilige Profilschiene bekannt, mit der ein Fenster- oder Türrahmen in einer gewünschten Höhe über dem Boden, auf den noch ein Estrich aufzubringen ist, fixierbar ist, indem die beiden Teile der Profilschiene fest miteinander verschraubt werden.From the document DE 295 10 005 U is a two-piece rail is known with which a window or door frame at a desired height above the ground on which a screed is still applied, can be fixed by the two parts of the rail are firmly bolted together.

Die vorliegende Erfindung hat sich nun zur Aufgabe gestellt, eine Profilschiene so auszubilden, dass sich bei einer Verwendung der eingangs genannten Art Fenster- oder Türrahmen auch bei Anordnung direkt im Bereich von nicht tragfähigem Material variabler abstützen lassen.The present invention has now taken on the task of designing a rail so that when using the type mentioned in the window or door frame can be supported even in arrangement directly in the field of non-sustainable material variable.

Erfindungsgemäß gelingt dies durch eine Verwendung der eingangs genannten Art mit den Merkmalen des kennzeichnenden Teils des Anspruchs 1.This is achieved by a use of the type mentioned above with the features of the characterizing part of claim 1 according to the invention.

Durch die Erfindung wird die Möglichkeit geschaffen, einen nicht tragfähigen Abschnitt an der Begrenzung einer Wandöffnung in einer Wand zu überbrücken oder aber frei auskragend von einer Seite her anzuordnen. Die bei der Verwendung vorgesehene Profilschiene kann fest mit einem Wandabschnitt aus tragfähigem Material verbunden werden, so dass die Profilschiene dank der biegesteifen Ausbildung auch dann, wenn sie lediglich frei auskragend in den Wandabschnitt aus nachgiebigem, nicht tragfähigem Material hineinragt, für eine ausreichende Abstützung eines Fenster- oder Türrahmens herangezogen werden kann.By the invention, the possibility is created to bridge a non-load-bearing section at the boundary of a wall opening in a wall or freely cantilever to arrange from one side. The provided during use rail can be firmly connected to a wall section of load-bearing material, so that the rail thanks to the rigid training even if it protrudes freely cantilevered in the wall portion of resilient, non-load-bearing material, for a sufficient support of a window - Or door frame can be used.

Trotz der biegesteifen Ausbildung kann eine derartige Profilschiene aus einem relativ kleinen Querschnitt gebildet sein, so dass die Profilschiene in dem auf der Begrenzung der Wandöffnung aufliegenden Zustand für ein nachträgliches Aufbringen von z.B. Abschlussleisten, eines Verputzes, von Fenstersimsen oder Türschwellen usw. nicht hindernd im Wege steht.Despite the rigid construction, such a rail can be formed of a relatively small cross-section, so that the profile rail in the resting on the boundary of the wall opening condition for a subsequent application of e.g. End strips, a plaster, by window sills or thresholds, etc. does not obstruct the way.

Nicht mehr von Belang ist nunmehr, in welcher konstruktiven Ausgestaltung ein Verstellelement zur einstellbaren Abstützung eines Fenster- oder Türrahmens ausgeführt ist - eine solche einfache, biegesteife Profilschiene kann mit allen Ausführungsvarianten zusammenwirken. Dabei ist es auch möglich, ein Verstellelement z.B. bereits vorab form- und/oder kraftschlüssig oder aber nach der Montage der Profilschiene mit dieser in Wirkverbindung zu bringen.No longer of concern is now in which structural design an adjustment for adjustable support of a window or door frame is executed - such a simple, rigid profile rail can cooperate with all variants. It is also possible to use an adjusting element, e.g. already in advance positively and / or non-positively or bring after assembly of the rail with this in operative connection.

Bei der Verwendung nach Anspruch 1 ist die Lage des Verstellelements bezüglich der Profilschiene variabel und somit ist die Lage des zu befestigenden Fenster- oder Türrahmens bezüglich des Mauerwerks variabel. Erfindungsgemäß wird zum Erreichen dieser Variabilität das Verstellelement mit einem freien Ende mit der einen oder anderen der Öffnungen in Eingriff gebracht.When used according to claim 1, the position of the adjusting element with respect to the rail is variable and thus the position of the window or door frame to be fastened with respect to the masonry is variable. According to the invention, to achieve this variability, the adjusting element is brought into engagement with one or the other of the openings with a free end.

Eine Möglichkeit sieht vor, dass die Profilschiene als Hohlprofilelement ausgebildet ist. Dadurch kann eine relativ große Biegesteifigkeit der Profilschiene erzielt werden, und zwar selbst dann, wenn ein freies Ende derselben frei auskragend im Bereich eines Wandabschnittes aus nicht tragfähigem Material einen Fenster- oder Türrahmen abstützen soll. Eine ausreichende Biegesteifigkeit einer Profilschiene kann ebenfalls dann erreicht werden, wenn die Profilschiene als im Querschnitt etwa U-, C- oder I-förmiges Profilelement ausgebildet ist.One possibility provides that the profile rail is designed as a hollow profile element. As a result, a relatively large bending stiffness of the rail can be achieved, even if a free end of the same freely cantilever in the region of a wall portion of non-load-bearing material to support a window or door frame. A sufficient bending stiffness of a rail can also be achieved if the rail is formed as a cross-section approximately U-, C- or I-shaped profile element.

Durch das erfindungsgemäß vorgesehene Langloch besteht die Möglichkeit, die biegesteife Profilschiene im Bereich des Langloches an einem Wandabschnitt aus tragfähigem Material zu befestigen, wobei z.B. eine Schraube nur so weit angezogen wird, dass sich die Profilschiene noch in deren Längsrichtung verschieben lässt. Wenn der Fenster- oder Türrahmen über das Verstellelement auf der biegesteifen Profilschiene abgestützt ist, kann dieser in einfacher Weise in einem bestimmten Bereich, welcher auf die Länge der Langlöcher begrenzt ist, quer zu dessen Ebene bewegt werden. Das Befestigungselement wird erst nach dem endgültigen Einstellen des Tür- oder Fensterrahmens fest angezogen, so dass sich die biegesteife Profilschiene nicht mehr verschieben kann. In einem losen Zustand der Profilschiene ist aber nicht nur die Möglichkeit gegeben, diese noch in deren Längsrichtung verschieben zu können, sondern die Profilschiene kann sich in diesem Zustand ebenfalls um die Achse des Befestigungselementes verschwenken, wodurch ein Verschieben eines Tür- oder Fensterahmens in dessen Ebene möglich ist.By means of the oblong hole provided according to the invention, it is possible to fasten the rigid profile rail in the region of the oblong hole to a wall section of load-bearing material, e.g. a screw is only tightened so far that the rail can still move in the longitudinal direction. If the window or door frame is supported on the adjusting element on the rigid profile rail, this can be moved in a simple manner in a certain area, which is limited to the length of the elongated holes, transversely to its plane. The fastener is tightened only after the final setting of the door or window frame, so that the rigid profile rail can not move. In a loose state of the rail but not only given the opportunity to move them still in the longitudinal direction, but the rail can also pivot in this state about the axis of the fastener, thereby moving a door or window frame in the plane is possible.

Eine besondere Verwendungsvariante sieht vor, dass die im Querschnitt als C-förmiges Profilelement ausgebildete Profilschiene an den freien Randbereichen mit gegeneinander gerichtet nach innen abragenden Stegen zur Bildung von beidseitigen Führungsnuten versehen ist. Damit wird einerseits eine besondere Biegesteifigkeit erzielt, andererseits ergeben sich weitere Einsatzvarianten.A particular variant of use provides that the profile rail formed in cross-section as a C-shaped profile element at the free edge regions with oppositely directed inwardly projecting webs to form bilateral guide grooves is. Thus, on the one hand, a particular bending stiffness is achieved, on the other hand, there are more use variants.

In diesem Zusammenhang ist eine vorteilhafte Ausgestaltung der Verwendung gekennzeichnet durch eine in die Profilschiene oder in Führungsnuten derselben formschlüssig einschiebbare Halteschiene. Eine solche zusätzliche Konstruktion ist dann möglich, wenn die Profilschiene als Hohlprofilelement ausgebildet ist oder aber entsprechende Führungsnuten aufweist. Mittels einer Halteschiene können zusätzliche Befestigungsmöglichkeiten geschaffen werden. Beispielsweise kann dies nur eine Verlängerung der biegesteifen Profilschiene sein, welche dann sozusagen teleskopartig ausziehbar verlängert werden kann. Dabei ist es grundsätzlich möglich, die Halteschiene lediglich aus einem stabilen Flachmaterial oder aber als biegesteifes Element auszuführen. Deshalb ist es denkbar, dass die Halteschiene als Hohl- oder Vollprofil oder aber als Flachprofil ausgeführt ist. Je nach Einsatzzweck und Einsatzart werden verschiedene Ausführungsvarianten vorgesehen.In this context, an advantageous embodiment of the use is characterized by a in the rail or in guide grooves of the same form-fitting retractable retaining rail. Such an additional construction is possible if the rail is designed as a hollow profile element or has corresponding guide grooves. By means of a retaining rail additional mounting options can be created. For example, this can only be an extension of the rigid profile rail, which can then be telescopically extendable, so to speak. It is basically possible to perform the support rail only from a stable sheet or as a rigid element. Therefore, it is conceivable that the retaining rail is designed as a hollow or solid profile or as a flat profile. Depending on the purpose and Einsatzart different versions are provided.

Eine spezielle Verwendungsvariante sieht vor, dass die Halteschiene zwei in einem annähernd rechten Winkel zueinander stehende Abschnitte aufweist, wobei der eine Abschnitt in die Profilschiene einschiebbar und der andere Abschnitt zur Befestigung an einem an die Wandöffnung angrenzenden Wandabschnitt ausgebildet ist. Damit kann eine Art Winkellasche gebildet werden, mit welcher das eine Ende der biegesteifen Profilschiene erfasst und gegen die Begrenzung der Wandöffnung angedrückt und der andere Abschnitt beispielsweise an der Innenbegrenzung einer Wand mit einem Befestigungselement festgelegt werden kann. Eine solche Ausführung ist insbesondere dann von Vorteil, wenn die Wandabschnitte aus tragfähigem Material beispielsweise von Ziegeln mit vertikal durchgehenden Kanälen gebildet sind. Diesfalls ist eine Befestigung quer zu den durchlaufenden Kanälen wesentlich einfacher und wirksamer möglich.A special variant of use provides that the holding rail has two sections which are approximately at right angles to one another, wherein one section is insertable into the profile rail and the other section is designed for attachment to a wall section adjoining the wall opening. Thus, a kind of angle bracket can be formed, with which detects the one end of the rigid profile rail and pressed against the boundary of the wall opening and the other section can be set, for example, on the inner boundary of a wall with a fastener. Such a design is particularly advantageous if the wall sections are formed of load-bearing material, for example, of bricks with vertically continuous channels. In this case, an attachment across the continuous channels is much easier and more effective possible.

Gerade bei zusätzlich einschiebbaren Halteschienen ist ebenfalls die Möglichkeit gegeben, die biegesteife Profilschiene und die Halteschiene gegenseitig beispielsweise über eine Feststellschraube miteinander unverschiebbar zu verbinden, sobald die ordnungsgemäße Ausrichtung des Fenster- oder Türrahmens erfolgt ist.Especially with additionally retractable retaining rails is also possible to connect the rigid profile rail and the support rail mutually immovably, for example via a locking screw with each other, as soon as the proper alignment of the window or door frame is done.

Betreffend die Halteschiene ist es zudem vorteilhaft, wenn diese zum Einsetzen von Befestigungselementen mit einem oder mehreren Löchern, z.B. auch als Langlöcher ausgeführt, versehen ist. Einerseits können diese Löcher zur Verbindung zwischen der Profilschiene und der Halteschiene herangezogen werden, andererseits werden dadurch mehrere Befestigungsmöglichkeiten an dem entsprechenden Wandabschnitt geschaffen.With regard to the retaining rail, it is also advantageous if these are suitable for inserting fastening elements with one or more holes, e.g. also designed as slots, is provided. On the one hand, these holes can be used for connection between the rail and the support rail, on the other hand, this creates multiple mounting options on the corresponding wall section.

Eine weitere Verwendungsvariante sieht vor, dass die Halteschiene unverlierbar an der Profilschiene gehalten und an dieser in deren Längsrichtung verschiebbar geführt und feststellbar ist. Mit einer derartigen Ausgestaltung ist es möglich, Halteschiene und Profilschiene als eine Einheit zur Baustelle zu bringen. Speziell zum genauen Ausrichten der bei der erfindungsgemäßen Verwendung eingesetzten Vorrichtung ist es sinnvoll, wenn diese beiden Teile unverlierbar miteinander verbunden sind, jedoch in einem relativ großen Bereich gegenseitig verstellt werden können. Dadurch ist es auch in einfacher Weise möglich, die Halteschiene bereits fest mit der Begrenzung einer Wandöffnung zu verbinden, wobei ein Verschieben der Profilschiene gegenüber der Halteschiene trotzdem noch durchführbar ist. Der zu befestigende Fenster- oder Türrahmen kann damit optimal eingestellt werden.A further variant of use provides that the retaining rail is held captive on the rail and slidably guided in this direction in the longitudinal direction and lockable. With such a configuration, it is possible to bring holding rail and rail as a unit to the site. Especially for precise alignment of the device used in the inventive use, it makes sense if these two parts are captively connected to each other, but can be mutually adjusted in a relatively large area. This also makes it possible in a simple manner, the retaining rail already firmly connected to the boundary of a wall opening, with a displacement of the rail relative to the retaining rail is still feasible. The window or door frame to be fastened can thus be optimally adjusted.

In konstruktiver Hinsicht liegt eine vorteilhafte Ausgestaltung dieser Verwendungsform darin, dass die Halteschiene an ihrem einen mit der Profilschiene in Wirkverbindung stehenden Abschnitt ein Langloch aufweist, durch welches hindurch eine Schraube in eine Gewindebohrung an der Profilschiene eingreift. Einerseits ist durch das Langloch eine Verstellung in einem relativ großen Verschiebebereich möglich, andererseits kann durch einfaches Festsetzen der durch das Langloch hindurch geführten Schraube eine weitere Relativverschiebung zwischen Halteschiene und Profilschiene unterbunden werden.In constructive terms, an advantageous embodiment of this form of use lies in the fact that the retaining rail has at its one active with the profile rail section an elongated hole through which engages a screw in a threaded bore on the rail. On the one hand, an adjustment in a relatively large displacement range is possible through the slot, on the other hand can be prevented by simply setting the guided through the slot screw a further relative displacement between support rail and rail.

Bei einer in den Fig. 1 bis 3 dargestellten Wand ist ein mehrschichtiger Aufbau vorgesehen, wobei hier beispielsweise ein Mauerwerk 2, eine Dämmstoffschicht 3 und eine Außenverkleidung 4 vorgesehen sind. Die Außenverkleidung 4 kann auch als zusätzliches Mauerwerk ausgeführt sein. Die so aufgebaute Wand 1 ist mit einer entsprechenden Wandöffnung versehen, in welche ein Fensterrahmen 5 oder ein Türrahmen eingesetzt werden soll. Die Begrenzung 6 der Wandöffnung wird von der Oberseite des Mauerwerkes 2, der Dämmstoffschicht 3 und gegebenenfalls einer Außenverkleidung 4 gebildet. Ein Problem stellt sich hier, weil der Fensterrahmen meist exakt oberhalb der Dämmstoffschicht 3, d.h. im Bereich eines nachgiebigen, nicht tragfähigen Materials montiert werden soll. Da sich keine Abstützungsmöglichkeiten ergeben, müssen die entsprechenden Kräfte auf daneben liegende Wandabschnitte aus tragfähigem Material übertragen werden, um eine von der Wärmeisolation her gesehen günstige Montage eines Fensterrahmens 5 beibehalten zu können.At one in the Fig. 1 to 3 wall shown a multi-layer structure is provided, in which case, for example, a masonry 2, an insulating layer 3 and an outer lining 4 are provided. The outer lining 4 can also be designed as additional masonry. The thus constructed wall 1 is provided with a corresponding wall opening, in which a window frame 5 or a door frame to be used. The boundary 6 of the wall opening is from the top of the masonry 2, the insulating layer 3 and optionally an outer lining 4 formed. A problem arises here, because the window frame is usually mounted exactly above the insulation layer 3, ie in the region of a resilient, non-load-bearing material. Since there are no Abstützungsmöglichkeiten, the corresponding forces must be transferred to adjoining wall sections of sustainable material in order to maintain a favorable from the heat insulation ago assembly of a window frame 5 can.

Vorgesehen wird nun eine biegesteife Profilschiene 7, welche einerseits Löcher zum Durchtritt von Befestigungselementen 8 zum Einsatz in Wandabschnitte aus tragfähigem Material und andererseits Öffnungen zum Eingriff oder zum Abstützen eines Verstellelementes 9 für die einstellbare Abstützung eines Fensterrahmens 5 aufweist. Für den Eingriff oder zum Abstützen eines Verstellelementes 9 können auch Öffnungen vorgesehen werden, in welche ein freies Ende des Verstellelementes 9 formschlüssig eingreifen kann. Auch eine direkte form- und kraftschlüssige Verbindung zwischen einem solchen Verstellelement 9 und der Profilschiene 7 ist möglich. In einem solchen Falle müsste die Profilschiene 7 jedoch bereits mit dem Verstellelement 9 versehen an die Baustelle angeliefert werden. Eine Variante für eine formschlüssige Verbindung kann der Fig. 4 entnommen werden, wo an dem unteren Ende eines Verstellelementes 9 eine Querlasche 10 vorgesehen ist, welche in einer besonderen Ausbildung der Profilschiene 7 verschiebbar geführt gehalten wird. Da es hier nicht um die Konstruktion des Verstellelementes 9 geht, soll nicht näher auf dessen Funktion eingegangen werden.Provided is now a rigid profile rail 7, which on the one hand has holes for the passage of fasteners 8 for use in wall sections of load-bearing material and on the other hand openings for engagement or support of an adjusting element 9 for the adjustable support of a window frame 5. For the engagement or for supporting an adjusting element 9 also openings can be provided, in which a free end of the adjusting element 9 can engage positively. A direct positive and non-positive connection between such adjustment element 9 and the rail 7 is possible. In such a case, however, the rail 7 would have to be delivered to the construction site already provided with the adjusting element 9. A variant for a positive connection, the Fig. 4 taken where a transverse tab 10 is provided at the lower end of an adjusting element 9, which is held displaceably guided in a particular embodiment of the rail 7. Since this is not about the construction of the adjusting element 9, will not be discussed in detail on its function.

Bei der gezeigten Ausführungsvariante ist die Profilschiene als im Querschnitt C-förmiges Profilelement ausgebildet. Es ist durchaus denkbar, die Profilschiene als Hohlprofilelement oder beispielsweise als im Querschnitt etwa U- oder I-förmiges Profilelement auszubilden. Für eine zusätzliche Verstellmöglichkeit der Profilschiene 7 sind in dieser Langlöcher 11 vorhanden, durch welche das Befestigungselement 8 eingesetzt wird.In the embodiment shown, the profile rail is designed as a cross-sectionally C-shaped profile element. It is quite conceivable to design the profile rail as a hollow profile element or, for example, as a profile element which is approximately U-shaped or I-shaped in cross-section. For an additional adjustment of the rail 7 are provided in these slots 11 through which the fastener 8 is used.

Wie schon erwähnt, ist die Profilschiene 7 beim gezeigten Ausführungsbeispiel als im Wesentlichen im Querschnitt C-förmiges Profilelement ausgebildet. Dabei sind an den freien Randbereichen der Profilschiene 7 gegeneinander gerichtet nach innen abragende Stege 12 vorgesehen, welche an beiden Längsrändern der Profilschiene Führungsnuten 13 bilden.As already mentioned, the profile rail 7 is formed in the embodiment shown as a substantially cross-sectionally C-shaped profile element. Here are at the free edge regions of the rail 7 against each other directed inwardly projecting webs 12 are provided, which form guide grooves 13 at both longitudinal edges of the rail.

Aufgrund dieser Ausgestaltung kann eine Halteschiene 14 formschlüssig in die Profilschiene 7 eingeschoben werden. Ein solches Einschieben einer Halteschiene 14 ist natürlich auch dann möglich, wenn die Profilschiene 7 als Hohlprofil ausgebildet ist.Due to this configuration, a retaining rail 14 can be positively inserted into the rail 7. Such insertion of a retaining rail 14 is of course also possible if the rail 7 is formed as a hollow profile.

Die Halteschiene 14 kann als Hohl- oder Vollprofil oder aber als Flachprofil ausgebildet sein. Ob die Halteschiene 14 ebenfalls biegesteif sein soll oder muss oder eben nicht, wird je nach Einsatzzweck gewählt.The retaining rail 14 may be formed as a hollow or solid profile or as a flat profile. Whether the support rail 14 should also be rigid or must or not, is chosen depending on the application.

Weiter kann die Halteschiene 14 als geradliniges Element ausgebildet werden und in einem solchen Falle beispielsweise als Verlängerung der Profilschiene 7 dienen. Bei der gezeigten Ausführungsform weist die Halteschiene 14 zwei in einem annähernd rechten Winkel zueinander stehende Abschnitte 15 und 16 auf. Der eine Abschnitt 15 ist in die Profilschiene 7 einschiebbar und der andere Abschnitt 16 dient zur Befestigung an einem an die Wandöffnung angrenzenden Wandabschnitt 17. Gerade bei Ziegeln 18 mit Hohlkammern 19 ist eine Befestigung quer zu den Hohlkammern 19 wesentlich wirkungsvoller. Die Art der Befestigung mit einem Befestigungselement 20 kann den Fig. 1 und 2 entnommen werden.Further, the support rail 14 may be formed as a straight-line element and serve in such a case, for example, as an extension of the rail 7. In the embodiment shown, the retaining rail 14 has two mutually at approximately right angles to each other sections 15 and 16. The one section 15 is inserted into the rail 7 and the other section 16 is used for attachment to a wall portion adjacent to the wall portion 17. Especially with bricks 18 with hollow chambers 19 is an attachment transverse to the hollow chambers 19 much more effective. The type of attachment with a fastener 20 can the Fig. 1 and 2 be removed.

Die Halteschiene selbst kann mit einem oder mehreren Löchern 21 versehen werden, wobei solche Löcher teilweise auch als Langlöcher ausgeführt sein können. Die Löcher 21 dienen zum Einsatz des Befestigungselementes 20 oder aber zur gegenseitigen Verbindung zwischen einer Halteschiene 14 und einer Profilschiene 7.The support rail itself can be provided with one or more holes 21, wherein such holes can be partially designed as slots. The holes 21 are used to insert the fastener 20 or for mutual connection between a support rail 14 and a rail 7th

Bei einer Konstruktion mit einer Profilschiene 7 und zusätzlich einer Halteschiene 14 ist es denkbar, dass die Profilschiene 7 gar nicht auf der Begrenzung 6 der Wandöffnung, d.h. auf der Oberseite des Mauerwerkes 2 abgestützt ist, sondern freitragend mit geringem Abstand angeordnet ist und über die Halteschiene 14 und den entsprechenden Abschnitt 16 an der Innenbegrenzung 17 der Wand befestigt wird.In a construction with a profiled rail 7 and additionally a retaining rail 14, it is conceivable that the profiled rail 7 does not extend on the boundary 6 of the wall opening, i. is supported on the top of the masonry 2, but is arranged cantilevered with a small distance and is attached via the support rail 14 and the corresponding portion 16 on the inner boundary 17 of the wall.

Für die Abstützung eines Fensterrahmens 5 im Bereich eines Wandabschnittes aus nicht tragfähigem Material mittels einer Profilschiene 7 bestehen also mehrere Möglichkeiten der Befestigung der Profilschiene 7 an einem Wandabschnitt aus tragfähigem Material. Die Fig. 1 bis 3 zeigen Möglichkeiten der direkten Befestigung der Profilschiene 7 und der Befestigung über eine Halteschiene 14. Natürlich kann die Profilschiene 7 auch als Überbrückungselement herangezogen werden, wenn beidseitig einer Dämmstoffschicht 3 ein entsprechendes Mauerwerk vorhanden ist. Diesfalls hat die biegesteife Profilschiene beidseitig eine feste Auflage und kann mit einem Wandabschnitt aus tragfähigem Material verbunden werden. In einem Bereich aus nicht tragfähigem Material, d.h. im Bereich der Dämmstoffschicht 3, kann der Fensterrahmen 5 dann an irgendeiner gewünschten Stelle über ein Verstellelement 9 abgestützt werden.For the support of a window frame 5 in the region of a wall section of non-load-bearing material by means of a rail 7 so there are several ways of securing the rail 7 on a wall section of sustainable material. The Fig. 1 to 3 Of course, the rail 7 can also be used as a bridging element, if on both sides of an insulating material layer 3, a corresponding masonry is present. In this case, the bending-resistant rail has a solid support on both sides and can be connected to a wall section made of load-bearing material. In a range of non-load-bearing material, ie in the region of the insulating material layer 3, the window frame 5 can then be supported at any desired location via an adjusting element 9.

Die Ausgestaltung nach Fig. 5 ist im Wesentlichen mit der Konstruktion nach Fig. 1 identisch. Auch hier ist eine in die Profilschiene 7 oder in Führungsnuten derselben formschlüssig einschiebbare Halteschiene 14 vorgesehen. Zudem kann diese Halteschiene ebenfalls zwei in einem annähernd rechten Winkel zueinander stehende Abschnitte 15, 16 aufweisen, wobei der eine Abschnitt 15 in die Profilschiene 7 einschiebbar und der andere Abschnitt 16 zur Befestigung an dem an die Wandöffnung angrenzenden Wandabschnitt 17 ausgebildet ist. Die Halteschiene 14 ist bei dieser Ausführung unverlierbar an der Profilschiene 7 gehalten und somit in Längsrichtung derselben verschiebbar geführt, jedoch gegenüber dieser feststellbar.The design after Fig. 5 is essentially following the design Fig. 1 identical. Here too, a retaining rail 14 which can be inserted in a form-locking manner into the rail 7 or in guide grooves thereof is provided. In addition, this retaining rail may also have two mutually at approximately right angles to each other portions 15, 16, wherein the one portion 15 inserted into the rail 7 and the other portion 16 for attachment to the wall opening adjacent to the wall portion 17 is formed is. The support rail 14 is held captive in this embodiment on the rail 7 and thus guided in the longitudinal direction thereof slidably, but with respect to this detectable.

Die dargestellte Ausführungsvariante sieht vor, dass die Halteschiene 14 an ihrem einen mit der Profilschiene 7 in Wirkverbindung stehenden Abschnitt 15 ein Langloch 22 aufweist. Die Profilschiene 7 weist eine Gewindebohrung 7 auf, wobei auch mehrere mit Abstand aufeinander folgende Gewindebohrungen vorgesehen werden können. Durch das Langloch 22 hindurch wird eine Schraube 23 in eine Gewindebohrung an der Profilschiene 7 eingesetzt. Die Schraube 23 wird nicht von vorneherein fest angezogen, so dass die Halteschiene 14 und die Profilschiene 7 relativ zueinander verschiebbar bleiben, bis die endgültige Lage fixiert ist. Anschließend kann die Schraube 23 in einfacher Weise festgezogen werden, so dass Halteschiene 14 und Profilschiene 7 gegenseitig festgelegt sind.The illustrated embodiment provides that the retaining rail 14 at its one with the rail 7 in operative connection section 15 has a slot 22. The rail 7 has a threaded hole 7, wherein a plurality of spaced successive threaded holes can be provided. Through the slot 22 through a screw 23 is inserted into a threaded bore on the rail 7. The screw 23 is not tightened from the outset, so that the retaining rail 14 and the rail 7 remain relatively displaceable until the final position is fixed. Subsequently, the screw 23 can be tightened in a simple manner, so that support rail 14 and rail 7 are mutually determined.

Es ist auch denkbar, anstelle der Schraube 23 eine Art Niet vorzusehen, der ein gegenseitiges Verschieben zwischen Profilschiene 7 und Halteschiene 14 in einem Ausmaß zulässt, das durch die Länge des Langloches 22 begrenzt ist. Zum gegenseitigen Festlegen der Profilschiene 7 und der Halteschiene 14 kann dannzumal eine zusätzliche Schraube durch das Langloch 22 hindurch in eine zur Verfügung stehende Gewindebohrung in der Profilschiene 7 eingedreht werden.It is also conceivable, instead of the screw 23, to provide a type of rivet which permits a mutual displacement between the profile rail 7 and the retaining rail 14 to an extent which is limited by the length of the elongate hole 22. For mutual fixing of the rail 7 and the support rail 14 then an additional screw can then be screwed through the slot 22 into an available threaded hole in the rail 7.

Nicht nur die Profilschiene 7, sondern auch die Halteschiene 14 kann als Metallelement oder aus Kunststoff gefertigt werden. Gerade dann, wenn Wärme- oder Kältebrücken gänzlich ausgeschaltet werden sollen, erweist sich die Verwendung von Kunststoffelementen, beispielsweise von glasfaserverstärkten Kunststoffelementen, als vorteilhaft.Not only the rail 7, but also the support rail 14 can be made as a metal element or plastic. Especially when heat or cold bridges are to be completely switched off, the use of plastic elements, such as glass fiber reinforced plastic elements, proves to be advantageous.
