The housing for the drive used to operate a window hinged about a central horizontal axis is of a channel shape formed by a pair of extruded sections (1,2) that latch together. Built into this is a chain drive (6) that provides the opening and closing actions. An additional drive is used as an interlock.

Description

The invention relates to a housing for fastening Actuators on windows, especially for the Operation of turn-tilt windows, with at least one Mounting profile for fastening the actuator and a cover to cover the actuator, the Cover and the mounting profile matched Have form elements that join the two parts enable by sliding and snapping, as well as a Window with at least one actuator in one Casing.

Actuators for remote-controlled actuation of the turning and tilting movements of a window are, for example, from the applicant's utility model application
DE 29706637 U1 known. The inward-opening turn-tilt window shown in this document is typical of multi-storey buildings, both for business and residential purposes. The windows are widespread, as the construction allows the sash to be tilted into a ventilation position, normally tilted around a horizontal axis of rotation in the lower area, as well as pivoting into a cleaning position, in which the window can be cleaned from the inside. The window is swiveled around a vertical axis along the side profile. To move around an axis, the other axis must first be released. This is done by locking and unlocking mechanisms that are attached to the window sash. The actuators provided for actuating the locking and unlocking mechanisms are provided within the window profiles. The actuators must therefore be installed in the window profiles before the windows are manufactured.

Another montage is from the German one Utility model DE 29622922 U1 known. There they are Actuators on the outside of the window frame or Window sash mounted. This makes the engine lighter accessible, for example during repair or Maintenance is an advantage. It is also basically a subsequent installation of such actuators possible.

It is perceived as a disadvantage, however, that the outside installed actuators the aesthetic Affect the appearance of the window. Moreover need the fasteners of each Actuator to those customary in the market Adapted window profiles and their actuators his. This results in a disadvantageously large one Variety of types, which leads to an elaborate inventory of Actuators leads.

Another drive for a wing of a window is the closest version in DE 195 00 945 A1 described the technology. This drive is in one Housing on an extruded profile Base plate attached by an essentially cuboid cover cap is covered and the Base plate for fastening the drive to the wall, door or window. The base plate and the cover cap have coordinated shape elements that a Join the two parts by sliding and snapping them into place enable.

It is perceived as a disadvantage that this Device relatively expensive to manufacture Injection molded caps are used due to the cuboid shape only on a base plate Fit length. Base plates of different lengths each require different length caps and thus an unnecessarily expensive inventory.

The object of the invention is to reduce the To achieve costs.

This object is achieved in that the lid as extruded cover profile (2) is formed. The Training as an extruded profile has the advantage that the adjustment of the cover profile to the individual Dimensions of a window by simple adjustment the cut to length when cutting the extruded profile can be achieved. The necessary functional parts become aesthetically under the intended cover profile hidden, so that designed according to the invention Inset housing in the window structure. The cover profile is preferably U-shaped. It is the only part of it that has a corresponding Coloring adapted to the window facade. The remaining Parts do not need painting.

All-round protection of the actuators is achieved in that at least one side end cap is provided. This end cap is preferably as Injection molded part in a color matched Plastic designed.

In an embodiment of the invention it is provided that a Retaining profile provided to hold the actuator is, which is preferably designed as an extruded profile is. The indirect attachment of the actuator to Installation profile with the interposition of the holding profile allows the outside of the mounting profile to the Many existing window profiles can be adapted can without relying on the outer contour of the actuators To have to be considerate. The actuators facing side of the mounting profile can be shaped this way be that regardless of the window profiles for Attach standard actuators can. The variety of types of actuators is thereby

advantageously reduced. It can also be easier existing windows retrofitted with actuators without resorting to special designs have to.

In connection with that the holding profile has a contour has, the lateral form elements of the Actuator are adapted and to accommodate this will serve to facilitate the assembly of the actuators, so that the variety of types is further advantageously reduced becomes.

The holding profile can be used for different Use actuators, i.e. both for the Actuators that operate the supply and Unlocking elements of the window serve as well the actuators that tilt and close the Window. For this purpose provided that part of the contour as a bearing for pivotable mount of a corresponding counterpart the actuator is designed and preferably as round opening is shaped. The actuator for the Tilting movement can thus be a swivel movement to the shifting of the articulation point when tilting the Adjust window.

For this purpose it is also provided that a Actuator is provided, the housing of which to the Bearing part of the holding profile adapted bearing element has, which is preferably designed as a pin.

The actuator for operating the supply and Unlocking mechanisms in the window sash are said to be maintain relative position to the casement. For this Actuator is provided that another part of the Contour of the holding profile as part of a polygon fixed recording of a corresponding housing part of the Actuator is shaped, preferably as part of a Rectangle is shaped, especially as a U-shaped Extruded profile.

The axially parallel mounting of the profiles can be done without adjustment done when the mounting profile and the holding profile coordinated tongue and groove elements for has mutual fixation. The location of the parts is due to the location of the groove and Spring elements determined. A time-consuming measure and scribing of the parts can thus advantageously be omitted.

If the groove and / or the tongue of the holding profile and / or assembly profile are arranged off-center, can with the opposite orientation of the parts another relative axial position to each other be specified by the tongue and groove. This Possibility for different assembly situations used.

A clean installation of the mounting profile on the Window profile is achieved in that the Mounting profile two spaced baseboards having. The mounting profile is supported by this Skirting on the window profile.

The holes for attaching the mounting profile to the Window sash profile can without further help be introduced if the mounting profile and / or the Retaining profile marking grooves for easier drilling of mounting holes. The provided Marking grooves indicate the position of the hole in the correct axis position. In the other direction it is Location of the hole less important.

The object is also achieved by a window with at least one actuator in a housing, in which the actuator is fastened to an assembly profile on the inside of a window sash, the assembly profile being attached to an inside of the window sash in which the
Mounting profile is covered by a cover profile that extends over the entire side length of the window sash.

The actuators can be hidden particularly inconspicuously if the mounting profile from a cover profile is covered, which extends over the entire side length of the Window sash extends.

The invention is in a preferred embodiment described with reference to drawings, wherein further advantageous details to the drawings are removed.

The housing according to the invention shown in Figure 1 is made essentially from a monthly profile 1, one Cover profile 2, two side end plates 3 and several holding profiles 4.

Two holding profiles each hold an actuator. On Actuator is as a locking drive 5 and a other than chain drive 6 for tilting the window educated. The two drives differ because they serve different purposes, both internally Structure as well as externally.

The chain drive, for example, is used to tilt the Window. It is necessary that this drive can pivot as the drive is on a Circular arc with the tilting Fesner moves while the pivot point on the frame remains fixed. Figure 2 shows such a pivoted chain drive within the housing according to the invention as a section. The chain of the Drive is at its chain end 7 with that window sash shown connected. When tilting the drive 6 moves on a circular arc, so that the chain drive 6 also pivots. For that purpose it is Holding profile with a circular bearing opening 8 provided, in which a laterally on the housing of the Actuator mounted bearing pin 9 engages. For the expert is obviously also an assembly of the Drive possible on the window frame, the then Inverse kinematics.

The holder can be seen more clearly in FIG. 3. As Contact surfaces when mounting on a window sash serve two baseboards 10. Between these are also Fastening holes 11 introduced.

The contour of the mounting profile 1 is clear in Figure 4 recognizable. There are several grooves on the inside of the housing deepened. The lower groove 12 is used for marking when Insert the mounting holes between the Skirting boards 10. The grooves 13, 14, 15 serve for fixation of the holding profile 4. One engages in these grooves spring 16 provided off-center on the holding profile 4 (Figure 6).

The U-shaped cover profile is also available as Extruded profile formed. By the shape the free legs of the open U's can easily spring open. At the ends of the free legs are Sliding surfaces 17 and locking grooves 18 are provided.

Two provided on the mounting profile 1 outside Retaining strips 19 have a locking groove 18 appropriate distance. Assembling the Cover profile 2 and the mounting profile 1 is made by Sliding the sliding surface 17 onto the holding strips 19 until they engage in the locking groove 18 and that Lid profile is thus held resiliently.

The holding profile 4 is a strong u-shaped Extruded profile shaped. The three legs of the U circumscribe three sides of a rectangle. In which the resulting contour can be a correspondingly shaped one Counterpart of an actuator included at a fixed angle become. For swiveling mounting of an actuator is however at the end of a free leg one tubular opening 20 formed as a bearing appropriately shaped bearing pin 9 (Figure 7) is used and picks up this journal. A marking groove 21 facilitates the installation of mounting holes.

The location of the individual parts of the invention The housing relative to one another can be clearly seen in FIG. 7. The spring 16 of the holding profile 4 engages in this Representation in the fixing groove 15. This is the axially parallel position of the chain drive 6 to the profiles 4, 2 and 1 clearly fixed. The fixing grooves 14 and 13 represent two more clearly defined possible locations of the holding profile 4. After turning the holding profile 4 by 180 degrees three more possible locations Are defined. In this way there is a number possible fixed installation variants of the actuators, the for the majority of all practical cases is sufficient and thus avoids custom-made products.

In Figures 8 and 9 are two mounting variants of the housing according to the invention with different Actuators shown in section.

Figure 9 shows the mounting situation of the invention Housing with a chain drive. Here is the housing on the inside of a window sash 22 with not shown screws attached, as before described, cut the axis of the marking groove 12. The holding profile 4 with the spring 16 engages in the Fixing groove 15 a. The chain drive 6 is so high installed that the chain end 7 with a Fastening part of an associated window frame 23 can be connected. In the window sash 22 are in Area of the chain of course corresponding beforehand Make openings.

In Figure 8, the holding profile 4 is rotated by 180 degrees, so that the spring 16 engages in the fixing groove 13. The Locking drive 5 is not shown Fastening elements attached to the holding profile 4. With his actuator arm 24 he can not shown, arranged in the window sash profile Locking mechanism in the axial direction, i.e. perpendicular to the plane of the drawing, shift and thereby lock or unlock the window.

With the same axial position of the mounting profile 1 can thus the two different drives, namely the Chain drive 6 and the locking drive 5 in different axis position to the window sash 22 the same mounting profile 1 can be arranged. You leave advantageous and visually appealing one after the other in the same housing according to the invention accommodate. The cover profile 2 withdraws the drives the direct view. The individual profile parts can advantageously be produced by extrusion.

In this way, a housing has been created that is also universal for the inexpensive retrofitting of Suitable for windows with actuators and beyond allows an aesthetically pleasing attachment.
