Abstract

The sealing strip (10) has a C-shaped profile (12) in cross section, and at least one system clip (14) enclosed by the C-profile. The system clip is held in the C-profile by clamping. The first and second small legs (16,18) of the C-profile are angled in relation to the long side (20). The first and/or second leg are inclined by about 14 degrees inwards from the verticals on the corresponding part of the long side. The long side, close to the second short leg (18), has a bent down section (22).

Description

The invention relates to a closing strip with a cross-sectionally C-shaped profile and at least one system clip, which is surrounded by the C-shaped profile.

Such closing strips are known, for example from DE-A-34 38 861 or FR-A-2 725 753 , They usually have a relatively thin-walled and cross-sectionally C-shaped profile and therefore require at least one system clip for a firm attachment. However, these system clips must be laboriously and time-consuming attached to the C-shaped profile. This is often done by riveting or by gluing. But this has the consequence that with a wrong selection of these system clips can not be removed from the C-shaped profile, without damaging it at least. It may well happen that the system clips have not been attached to the designated position on the C-shaped profile, so that the locking bar can not be mounted in register on the corresponding area of the door. By this usually accidental incorrect attachment of the system clip or the system clip, it is therefore possible that the locking bar does not rest firmly, but can wobble or tilt.

The accidentally incorrect alignment of the system clip with respect to the C-shaped profile can in particular lead to the attachment of the closing strip on the door profile to the fact that the desired investment position of the system clip can not be guaranteed.

The invention is therefore an object of the invention to provide a closing strip of the type mentioned, which always ensures a safe adjustment of the system clips on the C-shaped profile with technically simple means.

This object is achieved according to the invention in a locking strip of the type mentioned in that the system clip is held in a clamping manner in the C-shaped profile.

For the invention, it is essential that the system clip attached to the C-shaped profile is securely held in the desired position in the C-shaped profile before mounting the closing strip on the door profile. This is ensured by the fact that the connection between the system clip and the C-shaped profile is a clamping connection.

A development of the invention provides that the first and second small legs of the C-shaped profile are inclined to the long leg. As a result, the clamping action of the C-shaped profile for the system clip is further increased. The first and second small legs are therefore inwardly inclined, so to speak, and are located outside the perpendicular on the long leg of the C-shaped profile.

In this case, a preferred inclination is given by the fact that the first and / or the second small leg are inclined from the perpendicular to the corresponding part of the long leg by about 14 ° inwards.

In order to further increase the clamping hold of the system clip in the C-shaped profile, it is advantageous if the long leg near the second short leg has a bent portion. In addition, this makes the visual appearance of the closing strip more pleasing.

In order for the system clip to fit even better into the C-shaped profile, it is advantageous if the system clip has a pivotable clip arm adapted to the bent section.

An advantageous development is given when the Klipsarm is connected via a predetermined bending point with the remaining portion of the system clip. As a result, the system clip can adapt even better to the contour of the C-shaped profile, without having to apply large bending forces when attaching the system clip.

In this case, an advantageous development provides that the free end of the Klipsarms is provided with a corresponding with the second short leg legs, which has at least one outwardly directed web. This further increases the fit of the system clip. In addition, due to the at least one existing web dimensional inaccuracies can be compensated without thereby the clamping effect is adversely affected.

It is particularly advantageous if the Klipsarm near the web or the webs has a recess or franking. This facilitates, on the one hand, the introduction of the system clip. On the other hand, this is also another measure to be able to compensate for dimensions and accuracies.

In order to facilitate a fastening of the closing strip, it is advantageous when in the C-shaped profile near a / the first short leg, a first hole for receiving a fastening bolt is present. As a result, the attachment of the closing strip is much easier because the corresponding holes for the bolts no longer need to be created on site. On the other hand, however, the optimum position of the fastening bolts as a function of the corresponding profile of the door can also be optimally predetermined.

So that the heads of the fastening bolts can no longer project beyond the surface of the closing strip or of the C-shaped profile, it is advantageous if the first hole is located in a countersink.

A further embodiment provides that the system clip has a second hole corresponding to the first hole. This has substantially the same advantages as the previous attachment of the first hole in the C-shaped profile.

But if still the system clip has a guide countersink, which rests on the inside of the reduction, an exact positioning of the system clip in the C-shaped profile is even easier to reach.

It is particularly advantageous if the system clip has a centering collar surrounding the second hole, which protrudes through the first hole. This allows a quick and accurate insertion of the system clip in the C-shaped profile. Due to the guide countersinking, the centering collar reaches precisely into the first hole of the closing strip, and the fastening bolt is also centered by the guide hole. As a result, after the introduction of the system clip no more slipping of the same possible.

Thus, when screwing in the fastening bolt while a aufdrückender ridge does not bother and the locking bar remains in the correct position, it is advantageous if the The C-shaped profile side facing away from the Systemklips is provided in the region of the second hole with Spanfreimachungen.

For reasons of material and weight, it is advantageous if cavities are present in the region and around the second hole.

A safety enhancing and visually appealing conclusion is given when the system clip is provided on one end face with an attachable or integral cap.

It is particularly advantageous if the system clip on the surface facing away from the C-shaped profile has a profiling which is adapted to at least one system profile, preferably to a plurality of system profiles. The above cavities also serve this purpose. In particular, when these surfaces of the system clips are adapted to a plurality of system profiles, can be dispensed with the currently required variety of different closing strips, as well as a plurality of system profiles are covered in register with the closing strip according to the invention with a certain shaped system clip.

In some applications, the closing strips are provided on doors or windows that separate an interior from the outside world. In particular, the C-shaped profile, especially if it is made of metal, form a thermal or cold bridge. To exclude this, it is advantageous if the first leg of the C-shaped profile is shorter than the adjoining region of the system clip. Of course, it is also possible to provide that form the second leg of the C-shaped profile shorter than the adjoining region of the Systsemklips or shorter than the corresponding leg of Kliparms.

Of course this can also be combined.

So that the free ends of the first and / or second leg can be better thermally separated, it is advantageous if the end face of the free end of the first and / or the second leg of the C-shaped profile rests or rest on correspondingly formed projections of the system clip ,

A development of the invention provides that the free end of the first and / or second leg are received in the corresponding projections.

In many cases, even the corresponding closing strips receiving frame are provided with a thermal break. It is then advantageous for the clip arm to have at least one profiling projection pointing away from the C-shaped profile, which in the operating state can be brought into contact with a thermal separating device arranged in a window frame.

With the help of the latter five embodiments it is ensured that in the installed state of the closing strip no heat or cold bridge in the region of these closing strips can occur.

There is a variety of materials for the closing strip and their items conceivable, but it is more advantageous if it is made of metal, plastic, reinforced plastic or a combination of these three materials.

The closing strip is of course usable for all areas of the door or sash and not only in the lock area.

Based on Fig. 1 to 12 Reference will now be made to several embodiments of a closing strip 10 reference, this mean, unless otherwise noted, the same reference numerals same technical features.

The closing strip 10 has a cross-sectionally C-shaped profile 12, and at least one system clip 14 which is surrounded by the C-shaped profile 12. The attachment of the system clip 14 in the C-shaped profile 12 is given by the fact that the system clip 14 is clamped in the C-shaped profile 12.

In this case, there is a possibility to make this clamping holder even stronger that first and second legs 16 and 18 of the C-shaped profile 12 are inclined to the long leg 20 back.

For this purpose, be selected as a special feature that the first 16 and / or the second small leg 18 are inclined starting from the perpendicular to the corresponding part of the long leg 20 by about 14 ° inwards.

A further increase in the clamping effect is possible because the long leg 20 near the second short leg 18 has a bent portion 22. As a result, the clamping action of the C-shaped profile 12 is increased.

Thus, the system clip 14 can be easily clipped into the C-shaped profile 12, the system clip 14 has a pivotable, adapted to the bent portion 22 Klipsarm 24.

It may happen that the Klipsarm 24 due to the bent portion 22 has an excessive tension. This is counteracted by the fact that the Klipsarm 24 is connected via a predetermined bending point 26 with the remaining portion of the system clips 14. This predetermined bending point 26 in this case consists of a notch on the C-shaped profile 12 remote surface portion of the system clip 14 is arranged.

It may happen that the dimensions are subject to tolerance variations for both the C-shaped profile 12 and the system clip 14. In order to take care of this, it is provided that the free end of Klipsarms 24 is provided with the second short leg 18 corresponding leg 18 ', which also has at least one outwardly directed web 28.

So that this outwardly directed web 28 has a certain elastic compliance, the clip arm 24 is provided near the web 28 or the webs 28 with a recess or franking 30. This is especially good Figure 3 removable.

Thus, the C-shaped profile 12 of the locking strip 10 is not provided on site for installation with passages for bolts, the C-shaped profile 12 in the vicinity of the first short leg 16 has a first hole 32 for receiving such fastening bolts.

Since the first hole 32 is located in a countersink 34, the heads of the fastening bolts can be arranged to terminate at least with the outwardly facing surface of the C-shaped profile 12 or slightly below it. The system clip 14 is provided with a second hole 36 corresponding to the first hole 32. In addition, this system clip 14 also has a guide countersink 38 in this second hole 36, which rests on the countersink 34 of the C-shaped profile 12 on the inside. This guide countersink 38 enables a quick and accurate insertion of the system clip 14 into the C-shaped profile 12, since a centering collar 40 protrudes through this guide countersink 38. This centering collar 40 surrounds the second hole 36 of the System clips 14 and projects through the first hole 32 of the C-shaped profile 12 therethrough. Therefore, it is ensured that the centering collar 40 projects exactly into the first hole 32 of the C-shaped profile 12. By this arrangement, the fastening bolt, for example, a screw, just centered. Furthermore, this arrangement is to ensure that this connection between the C-shaped profile 12 and the system clip after clipping can no longer slip.

Furthermore, the side of the system clip 14 facing away from the C-shaped profile has a chip clearance 42 in the region of the second hole 36. This Spanfreimachung 42 ensures that when screwing in the fastening bolt or the screw thereby pressing ridge is kept away, so that the locking strip 10 remains in the correct position.

As can be seen in particular from the Fig.5a and c results in 36 cavities 44 are present in the region of the second hole. These cavities 44 serve on the one hand the material savings. On the other hand, they also serve to customize the system clip 14 for a plurality of system profiles to which the closing strip 10 is to be connected. So far, namely, the corresponding closing strips were specially adapted to the profiles. This is now no longer necessary because with a so-called body for the Systemklip 14 more system profiles with the same system clip 14 and thus also with the closing strip 10 can be provided.

As can be seen in particular Figure 4 results, the system clip 14 is provided on one or both ends with an attachable or integral cap 46 and providable.

In the 8 to 11 Third to sixth embodiments of the closing strip 10 are shown which ensure thermal separation.

This in Figure 8 illustrated third embodiment of the locking strip 10 is substantially identical to the first and second embodiments. The difference from these first and second embodiments is that the second leg 18 of the C-shaped profile 12 is not formed as long as the corresponding leg 18 'of the Klipsarms 24. This ensures that this second leg 18 in the installed state of Closing strip 10 does not abut the corresponding frame and thus can make a thermal connection.

At the in Figure 9 shown fourth embodiment of the closing strip 10 is a further measure in comparison to the third embodiment according to Figure 8 intended. This measure consists in that the first leg 16 of the C-shaped profile 12 in this case is also shorter than the corresponding area of the system clip 14. In this fourth embodiment, therefore, both ends of the first and second legs 16 and 18 are formed in that they can no longer contact the window frame when installed.

Of course, it is possible, although not shown in the figures, even shorter only to design the first leg of the C-shaped profile 12.

This in Figure 10 shown fifth embodiment of the closing strip 10 substantially corresponds to the fourth embodiment according to Figure 9 , In contrast, the respective end surfaces of the first and second legs 16 and 18 are supported on protrusions 50 and 52 formed by the system clip 14. Although not shown in the figures, it is also possible here, only one of the two end faces of the first and second leg 16 and 18 with one of the projections 50 and 52 into contact.

In contrast to the fifth embodiment according to Figure 10 has the sixth embodiment of the closing strip 10 according to Figure 11 another measure to the effect that the free end of the second leg 18 is received in the corresponding projection 52. Thus, not only does the end face of the free end of the second leg 18 rest on the projection 52, but the entire free end is surrounded by the material of the projection 52. Although it is also not shown in the figures, but also here it is possible, only a free end of the free legs 16 and 18, so either only the free end of the first leg 16 or both free ends of the first and second legs 16 and 18 with the corresponding material of the projections 50 and 52 to surround.

In Figure 12 is the closing strip 10 according to Figure 8 shown in the installed state. Here it can be clearly seen that the Klipsarm 24 contacted with a direction away from the C-shaped profile 12 profile projection 48, a thermal separator 56. This thermal separator 56 is provided in the frame 54 and ensures that in the frame 54 itself no heat or cold bridges can occur. Out Figure 12 is clearly removable, that the C-shaped profile 12 and the end face of the free end of the first leg 16 rests only on the outwardly facing part of the frame 54, ie only with its first leg 16, whereas the second leg 18 clearly from the corresponding frame area is spaced. So here is clearly a thermal flow through the C-shaped profile 12 is interrupted.

Of course, the embodiments according to the 9 to 11 at the of the Figure 12 shown frame 54 are attached.

It is clearly noted that the third to sixth embodiments of the closing strip 10 can also be combined with the different features of the other embodiments as desired.

For the locking strip 10, metal, plastic, reinforced plastic or combinations of these three materials can be used.

In Figure 7 is a diagram with respect to the introduction of the system clip 14 on the C-shaped profile 12 recognizable. In Figure 7 At the top, the C-shaped profile 12 is still shown without Systemklip 14. This is located directly below the C-shaped profile 12, wherein the Klipsarm 24 has not yet been buckled at its predetermined bending point 26. In order to introduce the system clip 14 into the C-shaped profile 12, the clip arm 24 is now buckled at the predetermined bending point 26. Then the system clip 14 is inserted into the C-shaped profile 12 such that the centering collar 40 protrudes through the first hole 32 and the guide countersink 38 of the system clip 14 rests against the inner wall of the countersink 34 of the C-shaped profile 12. Then the Klipsarm 24 is pivoted so far until it fully rests against the bent portion 22 and the second small leg 18 of the C-shaped profile 12. The webs 28 are moved due to the franking 30 in the direction of this franking 30. Because of the elasticity, then, after complete insertion of the system clip 14, these webs 28 press against the second small leg 18 and additionally clamp the system clip 14 in the C-shaped profile 12. This condition is in Figure 7 shown at the bottom. This description of the installation of a closing strip 10 of course applies to the embodiments according to 8 to 11 ,

As a result, a simple and always secure connection between C-shaped profile 12 and system clip 14 is given.
