Description

The invention relates to a facade, a facade module of this facade and an insulator profile, which is used in particular in the aforementioned facades.

For the manufacture of facades, essentially two different principles are known in the prior art. In the so-called mullion-transom façade, vertically extending posts are connected with horizontally extending ties and the facade areas thus formed are filled with facade filling elements, for example glass panes and the like. This procedure is well known in the art. This procedure assumes that a glass pane can only be used on the façade if the basic structure formed from posts and bars exists. As a result, the actual construction of the facade at the construction site is made of a plurality of individual components, which is naturally relatively expensive and also dangerous. This also leads to a considerable effort, since the building must be fully scaffolded from the outside, since the windows are to mount with their considerable weight from the outside.

Furthermore, so-called element facades are known in the prior art, the façade consisting of individually prefabricated facade modules. These façade modules are already completely glazed. Since these works can be prepared workshop side, the cost price of such facades are naturally much lower. Also, the effort to mount such elements on the site, is less, since they can be lifted into the building with appropriate cranes. Between the individual modules remains a constructional and assembly-related gap, which is afterwards to close. The solutions known here do not satisfy. On the one hand, this results in an optical inhomogeneity on the outside as well as on the inside, since the fields of the facade modules are subdivided differently than the connection area to the neighboring module. On the other hand, the gap between the individual facade modules constitutes a risk of leakage.

From the publication DE 101 35 510 A1 an outer wall construction for building is known in which fastened to mullion and transom profiles Fassadenfüllelemente. In the fold region between the Fassadenfüllelementen a one-piece cross-section insulator profile is arranged to allow the lowest possible heat loss in the Glasfalzbereichen. However, this insulator profile can only be installed between the façade modules during the final assembly of the façade. An on-site pre-assembly of the facade elements is therefore not possible.

The present invention has set itself the task of improving the state of the art and reducing the installation effort on site.

For this purpose, the invention proposes an insulator profile which has a connection area in order to cooperate with a profile, in particular the fastening channel of a facade or module profile, wherein the insulator profile has a contact surface, which for direct or indirect installation of a Fassadenfüllelementes, in particular an insulating glass pane, serves, is formed in the section substantially L-angled and a first leg of the plant surface and a second leg has the connection area.

The second leg occupying the connection area preferably extends at right angles to the plane formed by the facade filling element. The first leg is against this substantially parallel to this plane defined by the Fassadenfüllelemente.

In the known solutions ultimately a conventional structure of the facade module is realized. That is, the glass sheet or the Fassadenfüllelement is held in a conventional manner by a pressure bar arranged on the outside. According to the invention, an insulator profile is now provided which performs this task at least for the transport of the facade module from the workshop to the site. When installed, the insulator profile according to the invention then serves to considerably improve the insulating effect, especially in the edge region of the facade filling elements or glass panes.

An indirect installation of a facade filling element on the abutment surface of the insulator profile is understood to mean an arrangement in which a seal, for example an outer seal, is provided between the abutment surface and the facade filling element. On the use of a corresponding seal can in an inventive. Variant also be waived, which then leads to an immediate investment of Fassadenfüllelementes on the contact surface of the insulator profile.

In a preferred embodiment of the invention it is provided that the connection region has a foot, which is designed in particular U-shaped or realized as Einsteckfuß. With the help of the so-equipped connection area a mechanically strong and stable connection with the module profile, in particular its attachment channel is made.

There are several variants for the design of the foot. In a first variant of the foot is U-shaped and is placed on a suitably designed base or strip-like mounting channel such that the legs of the foot rest on the outside channel.

In another variant, it is provided that the foot is realized as Einsteckfuß and tubular or tube-like and has a certain elasticity. This allows the Einsteckfuß clamped between two legs of the longitudinal mounting channel can be pressed and also finds such a secure fit. Of course, it is possible that additional fastening screws are provided for fastening the insulator profile.

In order to increase the improvement of the connection between the foot and the mounting channel or the module profile, at least one clamping leg on the inside of the foot on a nose-like bar, which acts like a clip connection and engages snapping into the corresponding opposite parts of the module profile or mounting channel.

In a preferred embodiment it is provided that the isolation chamber has an opening and thus forms a groove-like recess. In this recess, a seal can be used. The arrangement of this opening is preferably on the façade or module profile facing away from the end of the insulation profile.

The opening can be understood as a surface having a surface normal. Cleverly, this includes an angle, in particular a right angle, with the longitudinal extent of the clamping leg, but this can alternatively also be considered perpendicular to the installation direction of the insulator profile on the module profile or substantially parallel to a plane parallel to the facade filling element level.

As will also be described later in connection with the façade module or the entire façade, the insulator profile according to the invention has a multiplicity of functions. In particular, in one variant it is also used simultaneously as a pressure bar, in particular in the completely assembled facade. On a separate addition to be attached pressure bar can be omitted after this proposal. This saves material accordingly. For this combined component which integrally realizes two functions (as insulator profile and as a pressure bar), then a cover strip can be arranged with the known means, which then also covers the gap resulting between the facade modules visually but also technically (waterproof).

In a preferred embodiment it is provided that the first leg has on its side facing away from the foot at its leg end a receiving groove. The opening of this receiving groove is, for example, parallel to the level of Fassadenfüllelementes or at an angle or at right angles thereto. This receiving groove is provided, for example, at the area remote from the kink of the L-like insulator profile. Equivalent to this embodiment is an arrangement in which a longitudinal web or strip, in particular for fastening and / or sealing purposes on the first leg is arranged in the same way. At this point, reference 212 in FIG Fig. 5 referenced for the positioning of the receiving groove.

With the help of the receiving groove in a variant, a cover strip is attached. The cover strip covers the resulting between the facade modules gap, advantageously, a clamping rubber is inserted into the receiving groove, which on the one hand provides a sufficient secure attachment of the cover and on the other hand by its elasticity also compensates for corresponding dimensional tolerances.

In a further embodiment, it is provided that the first leg is bounded on its side facing away from the foot by longitudinally extending strips. These serve for example for receiving a fixing plate. The fixing plate is preferably made of metal and is arranged flush with and embedded in the upper region of the insulator profile. This fixing plate is preferably made of short pieces and is used for stable prefixing of the glass during transport and are designed so that they do not need to be removed. In addition to their function as a fixation, so stiffening, provide the fixing plates, which are arranged in quite a larger number on the insulator profile, also a mounting base for the pressure bar.

In a preferred embodiment, it is provided that the insulator profile, in particular the second leg, which is oriented at an angle, in particular at right angles to the façade filling plane, carries a fastening which serves for the arrangement of an inner seal. This attachment can be realized, for example, as a fastening groove or as a fastening web. The inner seal is located between the façade or module profile arranged on the inside and the facade filling element. It is achieved by a secure seal between the rebate and the module profile. In particular, this arrangement is easy to install, since the individual elements can be gradually installed with each other. Cleverly, the isolator profile is subsequently screwed into the module profile or its fastening channel and at the same time acts as a pressure bar, whereby a ready transportable element is created.

Furthermore, the object of the invention is achieved by a facade module, which consists of frame-like module profiles, the facade module at least one Fassadenfüllelement, in particular an insulating glass, having between Fassadenfüllelement and the module profiles an inner seal is disposed and the Fassadenfüllelement by an insulator profile, preferably like described, is held positively and / or positively on the module profile. Through the use according to the invention of the insulator profile in the façade module also belonging to the invention it is achieved that a ready-to-install and also transportable façade module is available, the insulator profile arranged over the entire edge length of the façade filling element not only fulfilling a holding task, but at the same time also providing transport protection Façade filling element or the glass pane just at the sensitive edges.

As far as subsequently is often spoken only of an insulating glass or glass, so this does not limit the invention to this particular application. However, there are always all possible Fassadenfüllelemente, regardless of what design and material, thereof also includes and described according to the invention.

Cleverly it is provided that the insulator profile is held non-positively and / or positively on the module profile. There are a large number of different variants available for this purpose. This can be done, for example, by clipping, clamping, by fastening screws, gluing, etc.

In an advantageous embodiment of the invention it is proposed that the insulator profile acts as a pressure bar and is held by fastening screws positively on the module profile and in particular secures the Fassadenfüllelement during transport. The structure of the facade module according to the invention is considerably simplified by this proposal, since the separate arrangement of a pressure bar is not necessary. The insulator profile surprisingly takes over this additional task and can also meet this problem mechanically. The result is a well transportable, largely finished pre-assembled object that is factory-prepared and as a finished component in the building only to install.

Alternatively, it is provided that a separate from the insulator profile pressure bar is provided, which is held with fastening screws form fit on the module profile and in particular secures the Fassadenfüllelement during transport. The arrangement in this variant is chosen so that the fastening and isolation task is in turn distributed over two components. However, each façade module itself has a completely effective pressure bar. The invention is very variable in that the task of the pressure bar is taken over in a first variant of the insulator profile either. In a second variant, a pressure bar is used, which is screwed onto the insulator profile on this and holds the pressure bar on the insulator profile with its contact surface the Fassadenfüllelement.

In these two aforementioned cases, each facade module has its own pressure bar, either actually objectively or functionally coupled with the insulator profile.

In the third variant (this is explained again in particular in the façade according to the invention), a common pressure strip is provided, which covers and secures the two adjoining and tightly acting insulator profiles of two adjacently arranged facade modules.

In particular, in the variant where each facade module is assigned an independent pressure bar, but also in the variant in which a pressure bar is used for both insulator profiles, it is proposed that the pressure bar has a receiving groove in which a clamping rubber can be inserted. The receiving groove is cleverly oriented in each case so that it is directed to the Fassadenfüllelemente. In the composite façade modules of the facade, therefore, the receiving grooves adjacent pressure bars are oriented in opposite directions, a clamping rubber, which is used there, is suitable for fastening the cover and easily permits appropriate tolerance compensation in the transverse direction.

In a further advantageous embodiment of the invention, it is provided that a sealing profile or sealing strip is provided between insulator profile and pressure bar. This sealing tape or sealing profile increases the tightness and is used in particular in arrangements in the roof area to achieve a high density.

Furthermore, the object described above is achieved by a facade, which consists of at least two adjacently arranged facade modules, preferably as described, wherein a pressure bar is arranged above the gap between the facade modules. By the invention it is possible to realize an elementary transom-post facade or elemental post and beam facade. The advantage of the invention lies in the fact that the design image of a mullion-transom façade (equivalent to a transom post façade) is achieved with the help of the proposal according to the invention, however, the cost of producing such an elementary facade is considerably lower than at the prior art element facades known.

The pressure bar is therefore provided jointly for two adjacent facade modules and leads to the advantage that the appearance of the façade according to the invention, although it consists of individual prefabricated facade modules, of the appearance a construction designed for example as a mullion-transom façade does not differ. This, moreover, opens up the possibility of outstripping and subdividing the façade module defined by the frame of the module profiles with the corresponding post and beam profiles in the usual way and thus of resorting to proven components and procedures.

In addition to this design advantage, however, the invention also achieves an improvement in the impermeability of the façade according to the invention, wherein the outer pressure strip also reliably and reliably covers the gap present between the façade modules by design and thus also seals them. Since the pressure bar is usually made of plastic, hard plastic or metal, this is also sufficient impact rain.

Finally, the installation of the pressure bar must finally be carried out from the outside, if the facade modules are mounted in each case, but because of the simplicity of the work (no heavy glass panes have to be inserted from the outside into the facade) via a work basket, for example a hoist, be executed.

The insulator profile proposed according to the invention initially results in a considerable improvement of the thermal insulation in the gap region of the facades according to the invention. It serves to pre-fix the insulating glass panes, especially for transport. It cleverly picks up the outer glass seal, the outer seal. Since the entire assembly work is carried out in the workshop, assembly errors are significantly lower and the production of the elements is absolutely weather-independent. As is known, a workshop-side production is always cheaper than a site-side creation of the component.

In a preferred embodiment of the façade according to the invention, it is proposed that the cover strip is held directly or by a clamping rubber inserted in a receiving groove by a respective insulator profile acting as a pressure bar. The variant described here is particularly evident in Fig. 5 , Functionally, the isolator profile additionally takes over the task of the pressure bar, a separate pressure bar is not provided in this case. In the edge region of the adjoining facade modules, the insulator profile pressure strips lie symmetrically to one another and extend longitudinally to one another cleverly possess in a variant according to the invention in each case a receiving groove for receiving a clamping rubber, which alternatively holds the cover strip clamping elastically or snapping with barbs. The cover strip covers the resulting between the two modules gap.

The invention comprises several objects, namely the insulator profile, the facade and the facade module. In order to avoid repetition, not all feature combinations that are conceivable are listed individually, but partially described only in one or the other subject. However, this does not limit the invention and the application in any way only to this case described here in a particular case, features that are described in connection with the insulator profile are, of course, to be combined in the context of the facade or façade module as well as features that Façade module are described, can also be used on the facade or in the insulator profile. Of course, features that are described only in connection with the facade, nevertheless, to be regarded as disclosed with the insulator profile or the facade module. All of these combinations are the subject of the invention and the disclosure of this application.

Preferred embodiments of the invention are described in the subclaims.

In the drawing, the invention is shown schematically. Show it:

each in a cross section different variants of the insulator profile according to the invention and

Fig. 3 to 7

in each case in a cross section a section of the facade according to the invention, consisting of two adjacently arranged facade modules according to the invention using the insulator profile according to the invention.

In Fig. 1 the insulator profile according to the invention is shown schematically. The insulator profile 1 is preferably made of a hard plastic, for example polyvinyl chloride or polyamide. It is, as shown here, integrally formed, but it can also consist of several components. This in Fig. 1 The illustrated insulator profile is already configured with two seals, the seal 28 and the outer seal 70. Preferably, the insulator profile 1 is produced as an extruded component, as described, for example, in US Pat Fig. 2 is shown.

This in Fig. 1 . 2 shown insulator profile is formed substantially L-like and has a vertically oriented here second leg 204 and a horizontally oriented here first leg 203. In the sectional illustration shown here is the connection region 2 in the lower region of the second leg 204. The connection area is used holding the insulator profile, for example, positive or non-positive, to connect to the mounting channel of a facade or module profile.

In the embodiment shown here, the connecting region 2 has a U-shaped foot 20, wherein the opening of the U is oriented downwards. The U is formed by two clamping legs 22, 22 ', which are interconnected by a web 21. On the side facing away from the U of the web 21, a recess 201 is provided in the web 21, which is formed like a channel. It serves as a guide for screwed through the insulator profile 1 screws. The thus formed foot 20 is attached, for example, to a fastening channel 40 such that the clamping legs 22, 22 'engage over the fastening channel 40 on the outside.

Above the foot 20, a substantially square cross-section insulation chamber 26 connects. It is bounded at the bottom by the web 21 and at the top by an intermediate wall 25. Sideways side walls 24, 24 'are provided. The side walls 24, 24 'go over into the clamping legs 22, 22'. Above this first isolation chamber 26 there is a second isolation chamber 26 ', which in turn is bounded by two partitions 25 and by the sidewall 24 and 24 "The right side wall 24 is angled such that the second leg 204 is in the middle or upper The result is a cross-sectionally trapezoidal insulation chamber 26 '.

Also, this partition wall has a groove-like recess 201, which serves as the lower recess to a better guide for einzudrehende screws. Above this second isolation chamber 26 'there again follows an isolation chamber 26 ", which is bounded at the top by the head wall 202 and at the bottom by the partition wall 25. In the left region, the isolation chamber is defined by a groove-like opening 206 (better in FIG Fig. 2 to see) so opened that a groove-like recess 27 results. The opening 206 allows a recess 28 (see FIG. Fig. 1 ) can be inserted. Of course, the seal 28 of course closes the opening 206 again and there is a circulation-free and well-insulating isolation chamber 26 ".

The opening 27 is assumed to be an imaginary area between the respective ends of the wall parts 200. On this imaginary surface is the normal 209 (dashed in Fig. 2 drawn in) vertically. This standard 209 is pointed or obtuse with the clamping legs 22 and 22 ', in particular at right angles. Thus, the effective direction of the seal 28, based on the leg extension defined.

The upper insulation chamber 26 "with the opening 206 is already at the upper end of the second leg 204 and thus in the head portion 29 of the Isolatorprofiles 1. Parts of this second isolation chamber 26" but also belong to the first leg 203, which is substantially horizontal or perpendicular to the second Leg 204 is arranged to extend.

In the embodiment shown here then the first leg 203 extends to the right, wherein the thickness of the leg 203 is slightly smaller than the foot width of the foot 20 and also slightly narrower than the width of the second leg in the upper region after the taper by the oblique On this first leg 203, the contact surface 3 is provided, which directly or indirectly with the Fassadenfüllelement 7 (in Fig. 1 . 2 not shown) interacting. The insulator profile 1 acts here as a glass retaining strip.

The underside of the first leg 203, which faces the downwardly projecting second leg 204, has a receiving arrangement for the attachment of an outer seal 70. In the embodiment shown here, the receiving arrangement is formed as a receiving groove 207.

The opening 206 is bounded by strip-like wall parts 200, which, as shown for example in FIG Fig. 1 is shown, engage in corresponding grooves of the seal 28. The strip-like wall parts 200 act as Hintergreifleisten for holding the seal 28th

A similar arrangement is also provided in the receiving groove 27, which is also C-like, as the recess 27. Again, there are ribs 208 which engage in corresponding recesses of the seal 70.

When installed, the facade filling element, not shown, is located on the side at which the first leg 203 protrudes laterally beyond the foot 20. It is the task of the contact surface 3 to hold the facade filling element or the insulating glass pane arranged underneath. The advantage of the embodiment according to the invention is that the insulator profile shown here can be inserted both with the first leg 203 protruding to the right or projecting to the left. The profile may then only be installed in reverse.

In a variant, it is provided that the head wall 202 is thinner, as the underlying first partition 25. The slightly smaller wall thickness does not impair the good insulating effect of the Isolatorprofiles 1, but offers the advantage that mounting screws sunk through the top wall 202 therethrough can be, for example, on a head resting on the top surface 210 pressure bar to allow a rich concern. Since the insulator profile is preferably produced in an extrusion process, the variation of the wall thicknesses is not a technical problem.

The cross section of the various isolation chambers 26 is chosen to be relatively small. In addition to the here horizontally extending partition walls 25, of course, perpendicular partition walls are conceivable to achieve a further subdivision. It has proven to be beneficial to limit the cross-sectional area of the isolation chambers to about 1 cm ² , so as to avoid the formation of a negative air circulation, which promotes heat transfer. The recesses 27 or receiving groove 207 which are closed by the seals 28 and 70, respectively, also act as isolation chambers in the sense of the invention.

For fastening the insulator profile 1 on the profile, preferably the fastening channel of the profile, there are several possibilities. By a frictional connection, for example, the resilient action of the clamping legs 22, 22 'used.

But it could also be a clip connection (which would be a variant of a positive connection) are used, as for example in Fig. 4 is indicated. There, the leg has an inwardly projecting nose-like strip and thus forms part of a clip connection with a groove in the inner seal 71st

However, this also constitutes a form-locking connection or mounting of the connecting region of the insulator profile 1 with a profile, in particular the fastening channel or screw channel of a facade or module profile.

According to the invention, at least two different types of insulator profiles 1 are used. For example, this can be seen very clearly in the two different application examples Fig. 3 and 4 ,

In Fig. 3 . 4 is shown in section the edge region of a facade module according to the invention. The façade module consists of frame-like arranged module profiles 4, wherein the facade module at least one Fassadenfüllelement 7, 7 ', in particular an insulating glass pane having. Between the Fassadenfüllelement 7 'and the module profile 4, an inner seal 71 is arranged. The Fassadenfüllelement 7 is held by the insulator profile 1 on the module profile 4 non-positively and / or positively.

In Fig. 3 . 4 is the connection area of a facade according to the invention, consisting of the two adjacently arranged facade modules according to the invention shown. Here, the left elements in the reference numerals on a dash, otherwise the numbering is the same. It therefore results in a substantially symmetrical structure, but with some interesting differences, in particular with regard to the seal 28, which is used only in the recess 27 of the right Isolatorprofiles 1. The crescent-shaped sealing surface 212 of the seal 28 bulges outwardly, so that it closes the opening 206 'of the left insulator profile 1' nevertheless tight and insulating. The existing due to the assembly gap or gap 42, 43 between the two insulator profiles 1, 1 'is reliably sealed by this arrangement.

In a variant, it is provided that a plurality of recesses 27 are provided one above the other on the insulator profile and optionally one or both lying at a height recesses 27, 27 'of the insulator profiles 1, 1' each carry a seal 28 and so give a labyrinth sealing system. The gap 43 in the region of the two insulator profiles 1 is thereby securely and reliably closed.

In addition, however, the invention also provides that cleverly a common pressure bar 5 is installed. The pressure bar 5 is thereby screwed alternately into one or preferably both fastening channels 40 or screw channels 40.

These are the same fastening channel 40, which also holds, for example non-positively and positively, with the connection region 2 of the insulator profiles 1, 1 'cooperates. In this case, the U-shaped foot 20 of the insulator profiles 1 on the other way oriented U-shaped screw 40 or mounting channel 40 plugged or attached and, for example, by a clip connection with a barb arrangement or due to elastic action of the clamping legs 22, 22 'fixed sufficiently fixed thereto.

For example, for transport purposes, the insulator profiles 1 with further fastening screws 41 in the module profile 4, for example, in the mounting channel 40, be screwed and thus give a secure, stable connection for transport. The advantage of the invention lies in particular in the fact that the longitudinal screw channel or fastening channel 40 is thus supplied to a multiple utilization. He holds not only the insulator profile 1, whether embracing by clamping effect or screwed with mounting screws 41, but takes in a known manner, the mounting screws whose screw heads 51 press the pressure bar 5 against the profile.

Since the pressure strip rests satisfactorily on the top surface 210 of the upper shorter limb 203 lying on top, a full-surface pressing of the insulator profile 1 on the one hand takes place against the profile 4 and, on the other hand, directly or indirectly through the contact surface 3 or the optionally provided thereon outer seals 70 to the facade filling elements. The result is a very stable and tight attachment of the facade modules with each other. In addition, the integral pressure strip 5 completely covers the gap 43 between the two insulator profiles 1, 1 'and acts as an additional sealing plane, in particular if it is equipped on the back, for example with a rubber pad, etc.

In a known manner, the pressure bar 5 has on its side facing away from the facade filling elements a snap-in or clip connection for easy pressing a cover strip 50th

Another essential advantage of the invention is in particular that, although this is a façade modules made from different prefabricated façade modules, the appearance of the finished façade according to the invention corresponds exactly to that of a façade constructed in conventional post and transom construction. The invention therefore combines the concept of the post and transom façade, which is very popular in terms of design, with the very favorable production method of a modular façade. There are no optical or design restrictions necessary. The sealing surfaces are not directly exposed to weathering, but are protected by the pressure bar 5 and the cover 50.

Furthermore, the gap 42 lying between the two profiles 4, 4 'can be closed on the inside of the facade by a spring 52. The spacing of the two profiles 4, 4 'is also intended to provide corresponding compensation lengths due to thermal expansion. For this purpose, grooves 43, 43 'are incorporated in the profiles 4, 4' in the region facing the inside, into which are inserted essentially U-shaped clamping rubbers 44 which hold the spring 52 by clamping, but longitudinally movably.

The construction according to the invention of the facade modules is not fixed to a design of the module profiles made of metal, preferably for example extruded aluminum profile. The invention can be realized in the same way in any sandwich combinations or even in steel profiles or wood profiles. Thus, it is possible, for example, to carry out the fastening channel 40 in a timber construction as a separate component, so that it can be fastened on the wood profile, in order to then there the known structure shown here to realize with the help of Isolatorprofiles 1. The resulting half-post arrangement also allows for certain tolerances a certain length correction or a mounting dimension.

The difference between the in Fig. 3 embodiment shown and in Fig. 4 embodiment shown is that in the in Fig. 3 variant shown between the Fassadenfüllelement 7 and the profile 4, a strip-like inner seal 71 is provided and the insulator profile 1 directly, so directly to the U-shaped mounting channel 40, for example, clamped or positive with screw or clip connection, etc., is placed.

On the other hand shows Fig. 4 in that, in addition to the sealing area 72 between the facade filling element 7 and the profile 4, the inner seal 71 has a sealing part 73 which extends from the edge of the profile 4 inwards over the fastening channel or screw channel 40 and pulls it down on the side of the fastening channel 40 facing the gap 42 is. The insulator profile 1 is placed in this embodiment on this seal member 73 and forms an additional sealing plane in conjunction with the inner seal 71. Penetrating water is thus reliably kept away from the mounting channel 40. Of course, the L-like insulator profile on the outside also carries the outer seal 70 as described. Another difference between the two variants after Fig. 3 and 4 results from the fact that the web 21 in the insulator profile after Fig. 4 not only has a recess 201 on the insulator chamber 26 facing side, but also a curvature in the direction of the opening portion of the U-shaped foot 20. This curvature is centrally located above the U-shaped mounting channel 40 and the design of the sealing member 73 aligned. There is a rich as possible, full-surface concerns of the web 21 on the seal member 73rd

In Fig. 5 is a comparison to the comparable variant Figure 4 yet a slightly different, erfindunsgemäße variant shown. The variant shown here combines the task of isolator profile 1 with the task of pressing bar in an integrally formed component. That causes a separate pressure bar, as in Fig. 3 and 4 is used, here is no longer necessary.

The insulator profile 1 used here has even more special features. Enlarged, this insulator profile is 1 in Fig. 8 out drawn.

First, the foot 20 is in contrast to the one in Fig. 1 shown insulator profile designed differently, namely it is realized as Einsteckfuß 211. It is easy to see that this hose-like Einsteckfuß 211 clampingly engages in the limited by the two walls of the mounting channel 40 gap and is positively and frictionally held. In addition, the insulator profile 1 is held by the fastening screw 51. This results in a space-saving arrangement of the mounting foot.

Just above the mounting foot 20, a fastening 215, realized here as a fastening groove 215, connects. The inner seal 71, which is arranged between the Fassadenfüllelement and the profile 4, has a sealing flap 74, the edge strips on the attachment 215 seals. By impressing the edge strip of the sealing flap 74 in the attachment 215, a watertight connection between the inner seal 71 and the insulator profile 1 was produced.

Further shows Fig. 5 at the substantially parallel to the facade filling surface plane extending legs 203 adjacent to the angular range a receptacle 212, which is realized here as a receiving groove. Alternatively, the recording can also be realized as a bar or bridge. The receptacle 212 allows a firm connection of the cover strip 50 to the insulator profile. For this purpose, a clamping rubber 213 is provided in the receiving groove 212.

Fig. 6 shows the somewhat similar structure of the insulator profile as Fig. 5 , the insulator profile after Fig. 6 is as Fig. 9 magnified drawn out. The difference between the insulator profile after 8 and 9 respectively Fig. 5 and 6 lies in the fact that in the variant Fig. 6 a Einsteckfuß 211 is provided, but no recording or receiving groove 212. This is realized here in the pressure bar 5, 5a. The opening of the receiving groove is again parallel to a plane defined by the facade filling surface.

As shown here, the receiving grooves 212a and 212b of the left and right pressing bars 5a, 5b are oriented in opposite directions. Both grooves 212a, 212b, take one each Clamping rubber 213a, 213b, on. They work together to keep the cover strip 50 safe and reliable, but easy to assemble and disassemble.

To improve the seal, a sealing strip 14 is provided between the pressure bar 5 and the insulator profile 1.

In Fig. 7 is an insulator profile 1 in use, as shown in Fig. 10 is shown. It essentially corresponds to the insulator profile after Fig. 9 (ie with Einsteckfuß 211 and attachment 215 for the inner seal 71). However, on the first leg 203, which is arranged horizontally extending here, on the side facing away from the foot 20, the legs finishing strips 214, 214 'are provided. They thus limit a lowering or bed 216 into which one or many fixing plates 12 can be inserted. They serve for stable prefixing of the glass pane during transport.

Fig. 11 shows an insulator profile 1, which similar to the solution according to Fig. 12 respectively Fig. 1 , without a fixing 215 is equipped.

In comparison between FIGS. 11 and 12 you can also see the two different types of mounting feet, the 211 plug-in foot Fig. 11 and the U-shaped, downwardly open mounting foot 20 with the two legs 22, 22 'to Fig. 12 ,

The difference between FIGS. 13 and 12 lies in that Fig. 12 on the second leg 204 in the upper region (at the bend) the Aufnehmung 27, the at Fig. 13 does not exist.

In Fig. 6 forms in an alternative of the invention between the two abutting pressure strips 5a, 5b, a gap which is covered only by the cover strip 50. The clamping rubber 213a, 213b also serves to seal.

In order to improve the sealing effect between the two module profiles 4, additional module seals are further provided between the module profiles, which are fastened to the module profiles (for example, by a separate component) or glued on, for example. It is not only important that the seals are kept for sealing of the insulator profile, even such solutions are part of the invention.
