Description

Frame profile for mounting on a carrier body and window or door

The invention relates to a frame profile for mounting on a support body and a window or a door with a Frame and a relative to this movable sash, which holds and holds a glass pane.

Frame profiles can be used in many ways in practice. For example, they can be used to produce picture frames be further processed by skirting boards. Of the Use of frame profiles is also used in the construction of windows or doors realized the look of the windows or doors in a variety of ways to be able to different Being able to combine materials with each other or even around Care and durability optimized materials on the side exposed to the weather Window or the door to be able to use.

Especially with windows and doors it turns out that the Weather resistance of the frame profiles used in windows is limited, so this as a result of weather attack weather after a certain period of time. Also the cleaning and cleaning of conventional window frames, especially if they have been used for a long time are no longer always satisfying feasible, causing undesirable changes in life optical color impression and can come in function, the even by brushing can not be resolved.

In DE 198 16 913 C2 is to avoid the above Problems therefore proposed the window in which Blend and wing frame each have a frame body, on its outside with a profiled shape glass layer to be provided as a glass overlay. This will be an exquisite and permanent weather protection achieved by glass. on the other hand results from the intended profiled shaping the possibility of versatile optical optical Total impressions. As a frame body, i. as a carrier body, for the profiled molded glass layer, plastic or extruded aluminum profiles or wood moldings proposed. The attachment of the profiled molded glass layer on the support body should according to this document either by Bonding, a positive connection or in case that the frame body made of plastic, through Softening of the plastic.

The variants mentioned are within the scope of the manufacturing process Although advantageous, but also associated with disadvantages.

The method of fixing the thermal softening of the frame body could in practice cause reliability problems lead, if the window or the door after its installation one are exposed to strong solar radiation. As the molded glass layer the sun's rays almost unhindered on the frame body lets pass, this heats up, which in turn may lead to a softening of the material, so if necessary a detachment of the mold glass layer is to be feared.

The attachment by means of a positive connection leads to a complicated production of profiled molded glass overlays, so that this variant for cost reasons unfavorable is.

The object of the present invention is therefore to specify an arrangement in which a frame profile to simple Way are inexpensively connected to a carrier body can. Furthermore, a window or a door should be specified be profiled over a shelf life Molded glass layer as a glass surface, wherein from the Prior art known disadvantages should be avoided.

These tasks are defined by a frame profile with the characteristics of claim 1 and by a window or a door solved with the features of claim 11. advantageous Embodiments result from the dependent ones Claims.

The desired effects are achieved by a frame profile with a molding on which the profiled molded glass layer is applied as a glass overlay, wherein the molded part has a material that, in terms of its thermal Properties adapted to the material of the molded glass layer is.

In contrast to the arrangements known from the prior art the profiled shape glass layer is not directly applied to the carrier body, but with interposition a molded part, preferably a corresponding has complementary shape to the molded glass layer. to Clarification should be noted that it is profiled Form glass layer not around a flat glass, but around a glass layer with a deformed surface, the curves and bends.

The interposition of a molded part between the frame profile and the profiled shape glass layer has a row of benefits. Regardless of the shape of the profiled Formglasschicht, the carrier body in a standardized Manufacturing process are manufactured. This means with In other words, a single carrier body profile can with a Variety of different profiled shaped glass layers be combined, since the spatial adjustment and Mounting the profiled molded glass layer through the molded part is taken over. Furthermore, one is in the choice of material the support body no restrictions. This means it can be in terms of their processability or their cost optimal materials for the carrier body be used, regardless of the respective material properties. So can as materials for the carrier body too those are chosen that have a very different thermal expansion coefficient as a glass. By the Molding, which in terms of its thermal properties is adapted to the material of the mold glass layer is then ensured that stress on the profiled Form glass layer can be avoided. This is especially true important if the frame profile in the window or door construction is used.

Adjusting the thermal properties of two with each other Connected materials is not a peculiarity in itself. It wins, however, in the present case of great importance, since the energy converted in the molding over the cross section the profiled molded glass layer considered to a large extent is different. It is, as already mentioned, of it assumed that the profiled shaping glass layer einstrahlendes Sunlight can pass through almost unhindered. The different energy conversion in the molding results from that electromagnetic radiation due to the deformed surface of the profiled molded glass layer in different Angles to these hits. So there are areas in which the radiation is almost at an angle impinges on the mold glass layer and almost unhindered can pass through them. On the other hand, there are areas in which the radiation in a more or less acute angle impinges on the molded glass layer, creating a significant proportion of the radiation reflects and a lesser one Part passes through the mold glass layer. This As a result, areas of the molding of a stronger Are subjected to expansion, while other areas of the Form part have a small extent. Would be that Material of the molding does not adhere to the thermal properties adapted to the material of the molded glass layer, so reliability problems, in particular cracking in the profiled Form glass layer, almost inevitable.

Preferably, the molded part as an essential component a silicate on.

It is further preferred if the molding is made of a glass foam is formed. In this silicate is in a binder, e.g. Epoxy, incorporated. This material has the Advantage on that work it in a particularly simple way leaves. The molding may be in another preferred Design also of a hard foam, e.g. a PU foam or PVC foam, or even made of cork. Suitable are generally such materials that are lightweight and insulating Have properties. The desired complementary Shape of the molding to the profiled molded glass layer can for example, by grinding, cutting or milling done.

Conveniently, for attachment of the frame profile the support body, a fastening means provided with the the molding is in frictional connection. In which Fastener may be an adapter profile that e.g. made of a plastic or a metal, act, which is either over the entire length of the frame profile extends or spaced from each other along the frame profile is arranged. The solvability of fasteners and molding can be accomplished, for example, by that grooves are introduced into the molded part, in the correspondingly shaped projections of the fastener inserted are. Optionally, such a compound by a screw connection from the rear, i. on the invisible Side of the frame profile, after fixing the Shaped on the support body to be supported.

It is particularly advantageous if the fastener and the molding are releasably connected together. This facilitates the replacement of a frame profile, for example other optical effects are to be achieved. A particularly universal use and handling results when the frame profile according to another preferred Embodiment via a connecting means with the carrier body is connectable. The connecting means may be such be configured so that the frame profile solvable or insoluble is connected to the carrier body. A preferred connection method introduces the use of bayonet locks which is an invisible but detachable connection to the Allow carrier body.

To the different expansions of molding and profiled It is advantageous to further reduce the form glass layer if the connection of the molding with the profiled Form glass layer via an elastic adhesive.

It is further preferred, if doing a transparent adhesive is used. This will change the view of the material of the molded part by the profiled shape glass layer possible. The molding itself then contributes a part to the appearance of the Frame profiles and can be modified in the desired manner become. For example, it could be thought of in the Raw material of the molded part to intermix color particles to different to achieve color accents. If necessary could the molded part before applying the profiled molded glass layer be decorated with ornaments and ornaments to to create different visual accents.

The adhesive used is preferably a liquid adhesive, because this can be processed very easily. The term "elastic adhesive" is to be understood as meaning that the adhesive after curing a residual elasticity such as e.g. made by Collano Glue "Collano A8 6400". Particularly preferred is the Use of two-component adhesives.

In a particularly advantageous embodiment is provided in that at least one controllable illuminant, if necessary, together with appropriate line feeds, is embedded, which faces the molding Inside the molded glass layer adjacent. Primarily, but not exclusively, is at the bulb on Light-emitting diodes (LED) to think, since these a particularly low Have energy requirements and a very long life. The introduction can during the manufacture of the molding respectively. This variant is advantageous if the Frame profile is used as a skirting board. So could For example, in public venues, such as Concert halls, cinemas and the like, paths to the emergency exits be marked.

The optical effect can be further enhanced by that the profiled shaped glass layer, preferably on the inside, is provided with a colored paint. Instead can of course also the profiled shape glass layer itself already dyed. A paint job allows the application of motifs in which in a later processing step by means of stencil painting at least partially removed again.

The invention further comprises a window or a door with a frame and a relative to this movable Sash frame that holds and holds a sheet of glass, taking Blend and wing frame each have a frame body, on its outside with a frame profile of the one described above Art is provided. With the window according to the invention or the door according to the invention are the same advantages connected, as described above in connection with the frame profile have been described.

In the following embodiments are respective elements not shown in their actual size. The chosen dimensions and dimensions are rather for the purpose of a clear representation chosen and should not be considered be considered restrictive.

In Figure 1 is a sectional view through an inventive Frame profile 100 shown. The frame profile 100 includes, e.g. made of metal or plastic, fasteners 103, the non-positively with a molding 101 is connected. The adhesion can be provided by the provision of grooves 105 in the molding 101 are effected in which correspondingly shaped projections 108 of the fastener 103 intervene. The fastening means 103 and the molded part 101 are perpendicular to the drawing direction against each other slidable, allowing fasteners and molding can be put together in a simple way. A fixation can for example by a screw (not shown) take place, which by the fastening means 103rd protrudes through into the molding 101.

On the molding 101 is a profiled molded glass layer 102nd applied. Molded part 101 and molded glass layer 102 face each other a complementary shape. In the embodiment of FIG. 1, a region of the molded glass layer overlaps 102 likewise with a region of the fastening means 103. This is only an example and can by appropriate Variation of the design of the fastener 103 as well of the molded part are changed arbitrarily. The attachment of the profiled molded glass layer 102 on the molding 101 is carried out by means of an elastic adhesive 104, preferably is processable in liquid form and its adhesive effect achieved by curing. As adhesives are preferred used such adhesives, which after curing a have some residual elasticity, so that possibly between the molded part 101 and the molded glass layer 102 occurring mechanical Tensions are at least partially absorbed or compensated can be.

An inside 106 of the molded glass layer 102 may be, for example be provided with a colored finish to the To change the overall visual impression advantageous.

The frame profile 100 can over on the fastening means 103rd provided projections 107 with one of any material be connected existing carrier body.

This is better apparent from the figure 2, which is a frame profile 200, which via connecting means 208, which in formed the shape of twistable bayonet locks are connected to a carrier body 210. The between the profiled molded glass layer 202 and the carrier body 210 formed gap 211 may optionally remain open, be sealed by a sealant or by extension the profiled molded glass layer 202 are bridged until it is directly adjacent to the wall of the carrier body 210. In the latter case, it may be advantageous to to widen the attachment means 203 to the molded glass layer to give a stable support.

The connection between the mold glass layer 202 and the molded part 201 takes place in the embodiment of FIG 2 again with a in the cured state a residual elasticity adhesive, which is also transparent.

The transparency is necessary because in the molding 201 Illuminant 209, e.g. in the form of LEDs are. The introduction of the bulbs 209 has in front of the Applying the profiled shape glass layer 202 on the molding 201 to take place.

The material of the moldings 101, 201 is preferably made a glass foam. This consists of about 96% of a mineral (Recycling) granules of silicate hollow microspheres, in an epoxy resin that acts as a binder serves, are embedded. Glass foams allow under Use of simple mechanical processing steps light Production of the desired cross-sectional profile of the molding.

Figure 3 shows a perspective view of a Section through the lower portion of an assembly of a Frame 310 and a sash 320, which is a glass pane 330 stops, with the window or door in the shown position in the closed state. Of the Sash 320 is laterally (not shown in the figure) articulated pivotally on the frame 310, so that he from the closed position shown by the frame 310 through Pivoting can be removed.

If below a window is mentioned, should also a door to be covered with.

Both the frame 310 and the sash 320 exist in the embodiment shown in the figure each of a carrier body (frame body) 311 and 321, preferably made of a plastic, e.g. a hollow chamber extruded profile, consists. Alternative materials for the carrier bodies 311 or 321 may also be wood or metals. On the "outside" of the frame 310 and the sash 320, so on the side that is on the outside of the with such a window to be closed space, the support bodies 311 and 321 are each with a frame profile Covered 301 and 302, wherein the surfaces of the profiled Molded glass layer 315 or 325 on this "outside" of the window final surface of the window frame 310 and the sash 320 form.

The configuration of respective frame profiles 301 and 302 can according to those described in connection with Figures 1 and 2 Embodiments take place. Accordingly, the frame profiles in each case a fastening means 314 or 324 and a Molding 313 or 323 of a thermally profiled to the Glass support 315 or 325 adapted material.

From the illustration of Figure 3 is clearly seen that the profiled glass supports different cross-sectional views to have. The cross section of a profiled glass overlay is primarily determined by the present window functional aspects (ie size), but otherwise can also follow purely optical needs.

The fastening or mounting of the frame profiles 301 and 302, respectively via fastening means 314 or 324, which in the form the aforementioned bayonet locks are formed.

In addition, the embodiment can also be seen, that gaps between the profiled glass overlay and the glass sheet 330 and between the glass support 315 and the Glass cover 325 closed by sealant 332 or 331 can be. Further existing sealant 333, 334 correspond the usual in window or door construction used Seals and require no further explanation, since this the person skilled in the art is known.

The advantages of the invention are particularly well in the embodiment according to Figure 3 for use, since there used frame profiles strongly changing temperatures are exposed. To avoid damage due to mechanical stresses become profiled shaped glass layers not directly applied to glare or casement, but to a complementary trained molding, in terms of its material properties to the profiled Shape glass layer is adapted. For receiving a part of mechanical Tension also becomes an adhesive for attachment the profiled molded glass layer provided on the molding, in the cured state a residual elasticity having.
