Abstract

The cover profile covers the holding profile in the assembled state. A connector element (2) with resilient or elastic parts fixes the cover profile on the holding profile whilst the resilient parts enable certain mobility of the cover profile on the holding profile to compensate for size irregularities.

Description

The invention relates to a covering profile system for window or door profiles, consisting essentially of a holding profile and a cover profile, wherein the cover profile covers the holding profile in the assembled state.

In the design of exterior facades, in particular facade, window or door profiles, surfaces of panels or window or door frames, the existing profiles, frames or the like are usually covered by mounted on new profiles. This is especially the case when the facade, for example, an old building, to be renovated, or door and window facades to be aligned. As a rule, it is not desirable to replace the entire door frame and the like. In order to change the outer design, color, contour and so on, without having to change each time the underlying profile, various profile systems have become known which can be plugged or mounted on the underlying frame and the like.

There are known, for example, clamping heads, which are screwed into the holding profile and on which then the cover profile is attached. In the same way, clip connections are known in which a nose projecting on one component is pressed into the clamping groove of another component, thus resulting in a connection. In the aforementioned measures, however, the problem arises that the position of the clamping heads as well as the position of the clip connection is predetermined by the construction. This means that a relatively high dimensional accuracy of the parts to be joined together is necessary. In the case of strand materials, for example profiles, compliance with such high dimensional accuracies is normally possible without problems since they are taken into account accordingly during production. But it is particularly problematic in flat structures, such as frames or the like, in which due to the assembly of the holding profile and aufzusetzenden cover profile dimensional inaccuracies (for example, in the miter connection) may arise. The aforementioned Klemmkopf- or clip connections can therefore only with highly accurate configurations of the corresponding components, for example in frames, etc., are used.

From the publication CH 650058 A5 is a plastic window with attached to the outside cover profiles made of light metal known. The cover profile is fastened by means of the holder on the plastic profile. The holder is designed as a connecting element with springs or elastic parts and serves, together with the holder, the cover on the Fixing retaining profile.

Furthermore, a frame profile for wood, metal windows or doors from the document: EP 1 026 357 A2 known. The frame profile for the frame and the sash of wood and Metallfenstenr beseteht of serving as a supporting structural element wooden frame legs and a weathered solid, consisting of thin-walled aluminum one or more shell protective cover, which is connected by form-fitting interlocking connection element with the wooden frame legs. The cover profiles are aluminum profiles, which are indeed form-fitting on the wooden substructure in existing recesses used there, but their production is very complex and requires extremely accurate production of both the wooden substructure and the aluminum cover.

The invention has therefore taken on the task of simplifying the known Abdeckprofilsysteme to the effect that in the same way, frames without these must be made with high precision, cover profiles or cover frame are covered.

To achieve this object, the invention proceeds from a covering profile system as described above and proposes a cover profile system for window or door profiles, consisting essentially of a retaining profile, a cover profile, wherein the cover profile covers the retaining profile in the assembled state, and a connecting element, the serving to attach the cover profile on the retaining profile, wherein as a connecting element a clamping seal is provided made of elastic material, which is characterized in that the clamping seal is provided with sealing lips, wherein the clamping seal with a part in a longitudinal groove of the holding profile or of the cover is taken and the sealing lip in undercuts of Abdeckprofiles, respectively of the holding profile geifen and hold them.

According to the invention, a clamping seal made of elastic material is provided as a connecting element. Such a seal is extremely cheap to produce, and here also the seal does not have to extend over the entire length of the holding profile (for example, as a clamping profile), but occupies only portions. But it is also possible to use the clamping gasket over the entire length of the facade, in which case in addition to the holding effect of the clamping gasket, of course, the sealing effect of the seal can be used and utilized, especially if this function is needed for sealing purposes. It is advantageous that in this case can be made of the rich treasure of various sealing profiles to realize the Abdeckprofilsystem invention or fastening system. The embodiment of the clamping gasket will be described below by way of example. The design or the use of the clamping profile is analog.

It has proved to be advantageous if the clamping seal sealing lips is provided, which engage in the undercuts of Abdeckprofiles or the holding profile. Such sealing lips can be easily formed and are substantially known. The advantage is a large Elasitzität while stability, for example, when the sealing lip engages in an undercut. The seal is used with the one part in the groove of the first component, the second part is held on the engagement behind a corresponding projection or the like by the sealing lip. Ultimately, a clip-like connection is achieved in this case, but with the advantage that the effective holding force between the two parts is adjustable by the length of the clamping gasket.

As low, it has turned out here to use a seal which is relatively stiff, that is, has only a low compressibility. As a result, the clamping effect is increased and thus achieved a firmer bond of the two elements to be joined together. It has been found here that in particular seals with a hardness of Shore provide adequate attachment.

The clamping gasket is particularly advantageous in disassembly, as can be dispensed with special precautions to achieve the connecting element in this embodiment. If the cover profile to be replaced or removed, it is simply deducted with a correspondingly high force the cover from the retaining profile and the destruction of the terminal seal accepted. The fact that it is a mass-produced in the terminal seal, this is easy to reinstate, and there would be structurally no measures for the release of the connecting element can be provided. The seal or clamping seal serves as a predetermined breaking point, by the proposal according to the invention, the flexibility in both the construction of a corresponding Facade significantly increased with the cover profile system. Of course, the use of the clamp seal also allows the use of the function seal, although it does not depend on it alone.

By the resilient or elastic parts on the connecting element, which sits between the cover and the holding profile, a mobility is achieved in Aufsteck- or mounting direction, ie at right angles to the profile alignment. In this way, dimensional inaccuracies can be compensated, whereby it is also possible to set up a profile frame, where it does not depend on the high-precision production of this framework. However, the invention not only allows the alignment of the elements to be connected in a plane, but is also suitable to compensate for the altitude, so the distance between cover and profile profile. The elasticity acts not only flat, so in two dimensions, but also spatially, so in three dimensions. The inventive design ensures that relatively large dimensional differences or dimensional tolerances in the construction of the holding profile and / or in the construction of Abdeckprofiles can be allowed, as they are optimally compensated by the resilient connection element. The on-site facilities are obvious. The assembly is also easy to effect. By the property of the compensation of dimensional tolerances and the Committee or waste is significantly reduced. It turns out that individual profile bars can be mounted, which take advantage of a certain position play. It is not only the mounting of a frame (flat part) but also the installation of a rod considerably easier.

In the embodiment according to the invention grooves, undercuts or recesses are provided on the holding profile, or the cover profile, which cooperate with the elastic parts. The provision of grooves, undercuts, etc. in the holding profile as well as in the cover is easily possible in the production of the profiles. Usually, these profiles are produced as extruded profiles (for example metal or plastic) or can be easily milled in the case of profiles made of wood during production. Especially the use of grooves that extend longitudinally over the entire length of the profile, allow use of the connecting element at any point.

It is particularly advantageous, in particular, to design the cover profile as a complete frame and to put it on as a whole. In the case of the connections according to the prior art, only assembly in one direction, for example of a frame part, was possible on a regular basis. The next subsequent frame element in turn had to be plugged separately. On the one hand, such an approach is costly, since under some circumstances four plugging movements must be carried out instead of a plugging movement, and care must subsequently be taken for the miter areas which have to be specially treated or have to be concealed or concealed. The proposal according to the invention but just the assembly of frames is much easier, since they can be prefabricated, for example, industrially as a whole and can be mounted in the simplest way.

In one embodiment of the invention are provided as holding profiles of the frame or the frame parts of a window or a door, the posts and / or transom profiles of a facade or on other substructures patched profiles. Due to the easy mountability and the mobility in mounting direction can inaccuracies of the substructure be easily compensated and, for example, the facade a uniform appearance will be awarded. The use of the invention is very universal and in particular also extends to a general fastening system in which a first and a second part is connected by a connecting element with resilient and / or elastic parts.

In order to achieve a uniform, pleasing appearance, it has proved to be advantageous if the cover profile is formed substantially U-shaped and the cover covering the connecting element and the retaining profile both frontally and laterally. The legs of the U overlap the retaining profile laterally and close, for example, with the wall. There are also other types conceivable.

The preferred embodiments of the invention provide cover profiles of wood, metal, steel, stainless steel, aluminum, plastic or the like or a mixture or a sandwich structure of these materials. In this way, the surface of the Abdeckprofiles can be selected from a variety of materials through a sandwich construction, the necessary stability is ensured in any case. Regardless of the substructure or the retaining profile, the inventive design allows any visible surface.

In this case, the invention extends not only to the covering profile system as described, but also extends in particular to the advantageous use of an elastic clamping seal as a connecting element of a holder profile and a cover profile. Conveniently exploited here is that the production of the seals has long been mastered, that is, through the use of various materials such as EPDM, rubber, silicone, rubber, etc., it is possible to produce the seals in a large variability, although the use of the seals as elastically resilient mechanical component is unknown and the combinations of a mechanical connecting element, in particular with a certain balancing property for dimensional inaccuracies, with a sealing function results in a surprising effect.

Preferably, the seal in a groove or recess of the retaining profile, or Abdeckprofiles inserted. Due to the clamping action (either friction or barbs, that is, engagement of a projection on the seal in a recess) of the clamping gasket, the cover profile is held on the retaining profile.

Preferably, the clamping gasket is made of plastic material, such as neoprene or the like such as EPDM, these plastics have the advantage that they do not rot and are elastic even after a long time. The production and installation of such a clamping gasket is particularly simple and inexpensive, since such a clamping gasket can be manufactured as Endlosteil and must be cut at the site only on the appropriate length.

It is favorable if bilateral grooves are provided on the original profile for the clamping gasket. So this can be done with intervals be inserted into the grooves. In this way, a high stability is achieved.

It should also be noted that now has the clamping gasket not only has a clamping side, as described in the following drawings, but it is quite possible that the clamping gasket two or more, for example, parallel clamping or sealing areas having. In particular, the invention also allows an embodiment of the clamping gasket to the effect that the clamping gasket has a back profile cross-spine and the lateral ends of the clamping gasket are held in grooves on the retaining profile. It is thus also possible, for example, to realize a certain resilient mounting of the covering profile on the retaining profile, the clamping seal in this case has, for example, a hat-shaped or U-shaped configuration. In the same way, such a clamping gasket can also be mounted on the cover profile.

Preferably, one or more sections of the clamping gasket are provided on both back sides of the covering profile. It is of course also possible to provide a clamping gasket consistently, if in addition a sealing effect is desired.

It is particularly advantageous that both the connection between the clamping gasket and the original profile and the connection between the clamping gasket and cover profile is releasable. Again, the solubility is due to the elasticity of the connecting terminal seal, so that an easy replacement of the cover profile can be made.

The invention further extends to the use of an elastic seal as a connecting element of a holding profile with a cover profile. As a connecting element comes, as described above, in addition to the terminal seal a spring in question, which could be used within a profile system both fasteners use.

The advantage of such a construction lies in the game between the individual system parts and in the light attachment, or assembly by simply plugging, with both above-described fasteners, such as spring or clamping gasket, engage in the same grooves or undercuts in holding or covering. There are also differently shaped connecting elements conceivable, such as a seal with a support plate or individual resilient parts for the grooves.

The covering profile system 6 essentially consists of the retaining profile 1, the connecting element 2, which is either the spring 4 or clamping seals 5 and the covering profile. 3

The cover 3 is formed substantially as U, in particular from the Fig. 7 to 9 shows, for example, made of wood, as the profile 33 of the Fig. 7 , In the embodiment of wood, in particular web 34 of the U is made relatively thick, but also the side covers 32 have a thicker cross-section than, for example, the profiles 35, 36, which consist of stainless steel 35 or aluminum 36. In the case of the stainless steel profile 35 (or other metal sheet, which is bent), which except in Fig. 8 also in the Fig. 2 and 5 is shown, the undercuts 30 are achieved by folds 37 on the side covers 32 of the U-shaped profile.

A particular advantage is that the web length 34 can vary, so that an arbitrarily wide profile can be plugged.

If it is a wood profile 33, the undercuts 30 are achieved, for example, by cutouts 38. In aluminum profiles, for example in Fig. 9 , the undercut 30 is achieved by a corresponding protruding nose, which can be easily scheduled in the extruded profile.

The timber construction is except in Fig. 7 also in the Fig. 3 and 6 shown, the aluminum construction except in Fig. 9 also in the Fig. 1 and 4 ,

All cover profiles 3 have in common that they have the undercut 30 on the back 31 of the side cover 32. In these undercuts 30 now engages the resilient member 20, 22 of the connecting element. 2

The connecting element 2 is, for example, a spring 4 made of spring steel, plastic or the like consists and has a support plate 40 and 41 pages. The sides 41 carry alternately terminals 42 or projections 43, the terminals 42 engage in the undercuts 30 of the cover 3.

As a connecting element 2 according to the invention a clamping gasket 5 is provided which in the 4 to 6 is shown, wherein preferably two clamping seals 5 are provided, which engage with projections 50 which are configured for example as sealing lips in the undercuts 30 of the cover profiles 3. The clamping seals 5 are also made of elastic material plastic or the like.

The cover profile system 6 further comprises the retaining profile 1, which may be, for example, the originally intended profile on the facade and has grooves 12 on both sides 10 on the lateral edge 11. These grooves 12 extend in the longitudinal direction of the profile and take, for example, the clamping gasket 5, wherein the elastic parts 21 sit in the grooves 12.

Is selected as the connecting element 2 in addition to the clamping gasket 5, the spring 4, so sits the elastic member 23 which is formed as a projection 43 in the groove 12th

Due to the elastic configuration of the connecting element 2 as a spring 4 or clamping gasket 5, the corresponding elastic or resilient parts 20, 21, 22, 23, a releasable clamping or plug connection is achieved, which is in Aufsteckrichtung, indicated by the double arrow 7, movable. In addition, a certain mobility is achieved via a game in the direction of the double arrow 8, which is ensured by the elasticity of the material of the connecting elements 2. Also by the mobility in the direction of the double arrow 8 can compensate for dimensional inaccuracies, so that, for example, the Cover profile system 6 as a whole frame on a holding profile 1 can be plugged.
