Description

The invention relates to a sealing arrangement of a window or a door with a fixed enclosure and an openable and closable wing, according to the preamble of claim 1.

There are known sealing arrangements which are part of a fitting arrangement. Such arrangements are pre-assembled prior to insertion into a fitting part. Depending on the door or window width to be produced, an individual adaptation must take place. Often, sealing elements can be driven via a cross slide of the fitting arrangement. The seal members are often preassembled with the cross slide, which can cause movement of the seal member in the creasing transverse direction, see, for example EP 0 945 581 A ,

Object of the present invention is to provide a seal assembly that is easy to manufacture and inexpensive.

This object is achieved by a sealing arrangement according to claim 1. A clip connection can be made very easily without tools. In addition, it is now possible to first produce the sealing element and the cross slide separately and deliver a window or door builder. Depending on the window or door width, different numbers of fitting assemblies with a cross slide may be necessary. Since the cross slide and the sealing element are initially separated, the number of cross slides can be suitably selected according to the width of the window or door. In addition, the sealing element can be cut to length as needed. For example, the window or door builder can Sealing elements are supplied with a length of 6.5 m, so that it can cut the sealing element to the extent required by him. Due to the clip connection, a simple connection of the sealing element with the transverse slides can take place.

In a preferred embodiment of the invention, it is provided that the transverse slide has at least one latching element movable against a restoring force, which is engaged behind by a rear engagement section of the sealing element. By this measure, the sealing element is held particularly safe at the cross slide. The fact that the locking element is engaged behind by a rear gripping portion of the sealing element, a trigger safety is realized, which prevents in particular when frozen sealing element that this is withdrawn during a movement of the cross slide from the cross slide.

A particularly good retention of the sealing element on the transverse slide results when the transverse slide has at least one latching element at opposite ends as seen in the hinge circumferential direction.

In a preferred embodiment it can be provided that the transverse slide has at least one depth stop, against which the sealing element rests with a corresponding stop. By this measure, it is ensured that in the manufacture of the clip connection, the sealing element in the Assembly is not moved too far relative to the cross slide. The depth stop determines the position of the sealing element with respect to the cross slide. In addition, the cross slide can attack on the depth stop on the sealing element and thereby move in Falzquerrichtung.

In an advantageous embodiment of the invention can be provided that the cross slide has a lift-off for the sealing element. This ensures that the sealing element does not come off the cross slide when it moves the sealing element in Falzquerrichtung. The lift-off can be designed as a notch-like incision on the cross slide, which cooperates with a corresponding notch-like recess of the sealing element.

It is particularly preferred if the cross slide is symmetrical with respect to a central plane. This means that sealing elements on opposite sides of the cross slide can be attached to this via a clip connection. Thus, at least two sealing elements can be attached to the cross slide. With such a sealing arrangement, an improved sealing effect can be achieved.

In one embodiment of the invention can be provided that the seal assembly is arranged in a fitting part and is movable transversely to the groove longitudinal direction. Around the gap between the sash and fixed enclosure for air passage To release, therefore, the seal assembly can be sunk in the fitting part. To close the gap, the seal assembly from the fitting part, ie in Falzquerrichtung, are moved out of the fitting part until it comes into contact with an opposite sealing plane.

In a further development it can be provided that the sealing element with one side indirectly, e.g. via a seal, or directly abuts a groove flank of the fitting part and is held on the opposite side to the cross slide. This means that the sealing element slides during retraction and extension of the seal assembly on the groove flank of the fitting part along. About the cross slide, the sealing element is held in the fitting part. The above-mentioned anti-lifting device ensures that the sealing element, when it is moved out a little way out of the fitting part groove together with the cross slide, does not come loose from the cross slide.

A particular advantage of the invention lies in the fact that the clip connection can be produced from the slot opening side when the cross section is mounted in the fitting part groove, ie from the outside. This means that the assembly of the seal assembly can be done with mounted fitting. Due to the mirror-image or symmetrical design of the cross slide, a seal is produced separately on the inside or on the outside. The fabricator can therefore choose where to put the seal install. He can also choose to install one or two gaskets.

In Fig. 1 a cross slide 1 is shown in a frontal plan view. The cross slide has locking elements 2, 3, which are movable against a restoring force when introducing a sealing element in the direction of arrow 4, 5. After the sealing element is introduced, they take their starting position again. The movement against a restoring force is through facilitates a relatively narrow web of material 6. The cross slide 1 has lower depth stops 7, 8, which determine how far the sealing element can be moved relative to the cross slide 1. Furthermore, upper depth stops 9, 10 are provided. The depth stops 9, 10 are notched, ie they have surfaces 11, 12 which extend obliquely to a center plane 13. With this configuration, the depth stops 9, 10 together with corresponding notch-like depressions of the sealing element is a lift-off. The latching elements 2, 3 are engaged behind with a clipped sealing element by a rear engagement portion of the sealing element and thus constitute a trigger safety. The cross slide is symmetrical with respect to the center plane 13 educated.

In the Fig. 2 is a side view of the cross slide 1 is shown. It can be seen that locking elements 2, 3 are not only formed on both sides of the center plane 13 but also seen in Falzumfangsrichtung both ends locking elements 2, 15 are provided so that the cross slide 1 has a total of four locking elements 2, 3, 15. The locking elements 2, 15 are each separated by a slot 16, 17 from the body 18, whereby they receive a flexibility that allows it to be displaced against the restoring force when clipping the sealing elements.

In the Fig. 3 a cross section through a sealing element 20 is shown. The sealing element 20 has a rear engagement portion 21 which can engage behind a latching element 2, 3, 15. On the rear side, the rear engagement section 21 has a stop 22, which bears against the depth stop 7, 8 when the clip connection is formed. Furthermore, a notch-like incision 23 is formed, which cooperates with the depth stops 9, 10 and thereby constitutes a lift-off. If the sealing element 20 is clipped on the cross slide 1, it is no longer movable in the direction of arrow 24 relative to the cross slide 1, so that the notch-like recess 23 can not solve in the direction of arrow 25 from the cross slide 1. The sealing element 20 further has an anchoring receptacle 26 for a seal.

In the FIGS. 4a to 4c a method for producing a seal assembly is shown. First, one or more cross slide 1 in a fitting part 30 of a door leaf 31 bzw.einer fixed enclosure a door or window, optionally together with a fitting mounted. On the width of the window or door cut sealing elements 20a, 20b, are then inserted from the Nutöffnungsseite in a gap between the groove flank 32 and the cross slide 1 and the groove flank 33 and the cross slide 1. Here, the rear engagement portions 21a, 21b displace the locking elements 2, 3. The sealing elements 20a, 20b are pushed until the depth stops 7, 8, 9, 10 are reached. In this Position the clip connection is formed because the locking elements 2, 3 have moved back into their original position due to their restoring force and are engaged behind by the rear engagement portion 21a, 21b.

The trained clip connection is in the Fig. 4b to see the seal member 20a. In the Fig. 4b the sealing element 20b is not yet fully inserted, so that no clip connection is formed yet. Here, however, it can be seen that the latching element 30 is displaced towards the middle of the groove.

In the Fig. 4c the complete seal arrangement is shown, are introduced in the seals 35, 36. The seals 35, 36 each have two anchoring sections 37 to 40, which are anchored in corresponding anchoring receivers 41 to 44 of the sealing elements 20a, 20b and the door leaf 31, respectively. The cross slide 1 may be part of a fitting arrangement, via which the transverse slide 1 together with the sealing elements 20a, 20b is movable in Falzquerrichtung. The cross slide 1 is thus from the in the Fig. 4c shown sealing state in the fitting part 30, ie to the groove bottom and thus in the open state movable.
