Description

Die vorliegende Erfindung betrifft ein Dichtelement zum Bereitstellen einer durchgehenden Abdichtung eines Übergangsbereiches zwischen der Stirnseite eines Pfostenprofils und der Stirnseite eines Rahmenprofils, wobei das Dichtelement einen ersten Ausleger aufweist, der an der Stirnseite des Pfostenprofils mit einer zum Pfostenprofil gehörenden Außenschalen verbindbar ist, und wobei das Dichtelement einen zweiten Ausleger aufweist, der an der Stirnseite des Pfostenprofils mit einer zum Pfostenprofil gehörenden Innenschale verbindbar ist. Die Erfindung betrifft des weiteren ein Fenster-/Türrahmensystem mit einem an einem Rahmenprofil angeordneten Pfostenprofil, wobei das Fenster-/Türrahmensystem ferner zumindest ein Dichtelement aufweist, welches am oberen oder unteren Ende des Pfostenprofils aufseitig in das Pfostenprofil eingesteckt ist.The present invention relates to a sealing element for providing a continuous sealing of a transition region between the end face of a post profile and the front side of a frame profile, wherein the sealing element has a first arm, which is connectable to the front side of the post profile with an outer shell belonging to the post profile, and wherein the Sealing element has a second arm, which is connectable to the front side of the post profile with an inner shell belonging to the post profile. The invention further relates to a window / door frame system with a post profile arranged on a frame profile, wherein the window / door frame system further comprises at least one sealing element which is inserted at the top or bottom of the post profile on the side in the post profile.

Bei Fenster-/Türrahmensystemen die einerseits ein Rahmenprofil zum Halten von beispielsweise einer Isolierverglasung und andererseits ein Pfostenprofil aufweisen, an welches das Rahmenprofil anstößt oder anschlägt, ist es erforderlich, am oberen sowie am unteren Ende des Pfostenprofils ein Abdichtungselement einzusetzen, um am oberen bzw. unteren Abschlussbereich des Pfostenprofils eine durchlaufende und möglichst einwandfreie Abdichtung des Fenster-/Türrahmensystems sicherzustellen.In window / door frame systems on the one hand have a frame profile for holding, for example, a glazing and on the other hand, a post profile to which the frame profile abuts or strikes, it is necessary to use a sealing element at the top and at the bottom of the post profile to the upper or ensure a continuous and perfect as possible sealing of the window / door frame system lower termination area of the post profile.

Als ein derartiges Tür-/Fensterrahmensystem kommt beispielsweise eine Tür oder ein Fenster in einer Stulpflügelausführung in Frage, bei welcher an einem Stulpflügel ein Stulpprofil angeordnet ist. Dieses Stulpprofil öffnet sich zusammen mit dem Stulpflügel und wird deshalb auch als "loses Pfostenprofil" bezeichnet. Andererseits ist es allerdings auch denkbar, dass ein feststehendes Pfostenprofil verwendet wird, also ein Pfostenprofil, das sich nicht mit dem Rahmenprofil öffnen lässt.As such a door / window frame system, for example, a door or a window in a Stulflügelausführung in question, in which a Stulpügel a Stulpprofil is arranged. This cuff profile opens together with the curb and is therefore also referred to as "loose post profile". On the other hand, it is also conceivable that a fixed post profile is used, so a post profile that can not be opened with the frame profile.

Fig. 1 zeigt in einer perspektivischen, teilgeschnittenen Ansicht ein Beispiel eines herkömmlichen Fenster-/Türrahmensystems, bei welchem ein feststehendes oder loses Pfostenprofil 1 im Anschlagbereich mit einem Rahmenprofil 3 verbunden ist. Fig. 1 shows in a perspective, partially sectional view of an example of a conventional window / door frame system, in which a fixed or loose mullion profile 1 is connected to a frame profile 3 in the stop area.

An dem in Fig. 1 gezeigten oberen Ende des Pfostenprofils 1 wird ein vorzugsweise aus Kunststoff hergestelltes Dichtelement 110 aufseitig in das Pfostenprofil 1 eingesetzt. Das Dichtelement 110 ist dabei mit einem ersten Ausleger 111 versehen, dessen Querschnitt dem Querschnitt eines zu dem Außenschalenprofil 1a des Pfostenprofils 1 gehörenden Teils, wie etwa einer Anschlagdichtung, entspricht. Dieser erste Ausleger 111 des Dichtelements 110 schließt an der Ober- und and der Unterseite des Pfostenprofils 1 jeweils an eine im Übergangsbereich zwischen dem Rahmenprofil 3 und dem Pfostenprofil 1 vorgesehene Anschlagdichtung an, so dass eine durchlaufende und einwandfreie Abdichtung gewährleistet ist. Hierzu ist erforderlich, dass sich das Dichtelement 110 über die gesamte Breite des Pfostenprofils 1 bzw. des Rahmenprofils 3 erstreckt.At the in Fig. 1 shown upper end of the post section 1, a preferably made of plastic sealing element 110 is inserted on the side into the post section 1. The sealing element 110 is in this case provided with a first arm 111 whose cross-section corresponds to the cross-section of a part belonging to the outer shell profile 1a of the post profile 1, such as a stop seal. This first arm 111 of the sealing element 110 connects at the top and at the bottom of the post section 1 respectively to a provided in the transition region between the frame section 3 and the post profile 1 stop seal, so that a continuous and perfect seal is guaranteed. For this purpose, it is necessary for the sealing element 110 to extend over the entire width of the post profile 1 or of the frame profile 3.

Zu diesem Zweck ist vorgesehen, dass das herkömmliche Dichtelement 110, wie es beispielsweise in Fig. 1 dargestellt ist, zusätzlich zum ersten Ausleger 111 noch einen zweiten Ausleger 112 aufweist, der mit dem ersten Ausleger 111 über einen Brückenabschnitt 113 verbunden ist, wobei die Länge des Brückenabschnittes 113 derart gewählt ist, dass der zweite Ausleger 112 an der innenliegenden Seite der Innenschale 3b des Rahmenprofils 3 anstößt. Somit stellt das aus dem Stand der Technik bekannte und vorstehend beschriebene Dichtelement 110 eine durchlaufende Abdichtung zwischen dem Pfostenprofil 1 einerseits und dem Rahmenprofil 3 andererseits sicher.For this purpose, it is provided that the conventional sealing element 110, as shown for example in FIG Fig. 1 is shown, in addition to the first arm 111 still a second arm 112 which is connected to the first arm 111 via a bridge portion 113, wherein the length of the bridge portion 113 is selected such that the second arm 112 on the inner side of the inner shell 3b of the frame profile 3 abuts. Thus, the sealing element 110 known from the prior art and described above ensures a continuous seal between the post profile 1 on the one hand and the frame profile 3 on the other hand.

Die bekannte Lösung allerdings weist Nachteile auf, wenn bei dem Fenster-/Türrahmensystem beispielsweise Rahmenprofile 3 verwendet werden, die verschiedene Breiten aufweisen, wie es in Fig. 2 angedeutet ist. Im Einzelnen zeigt Fig. 2a einen horizontal Schnitt durch eine Fenster-/Türrahmensystem, bei welchem ein erstes Rahmenprofil 3 zum Halten einer ersten Isolierverglasung 5 und ein zweites Rahmenprofil 3' zum Halten einer zweiten Isolierverglasung 5' vorgesehen sind. Zwischen diesen beiden Rahmenprofilen 3, 3' ist ein Pfostenprofil 1 angeordnet.However, the known solution has disadvantages when, for example, frame profiles 3 are used in the window / door frame system, which have different widths, as in Fig. 2 is indicated. In detail shows Fig. 2a a horizontal section through a window / door frame system in which a first frame section 3 for holding a first insulating glazing 5 and a second frame profile 3 'for holding a second insulating glazing 5' are provided. Between these two frame sections 3, 3 'a post profile 1 is arranged.

Bei dem in Fig. 2a gezeigten System handelt es sich um ein System, bei welchem die Außenschalen 3a, 3a' der jeweiligen Rahmenprofile 3, 3' jeweils über Isolierstege 6, 6' mit den zugehörigen Innenschalen 3b, 3b' verbunden sind. In gleicher Weise ist das Pfostenprofil 1 aus einer Außenschale 1a und einer Innenschale 1b aufgebaut, wobei zu deren Verbindung ebenfalls Isolierstege 2 verwendet werden. Die Breite der jeweiligen zum Verbinden der Außenschalen mit den Innenschalen zum Einsatz kommenden Isolierstege 2, 6, 6' bestimmt dabei den Abstand zwischen der Außenschale 1a und der Innenschale 1b des Pfostenprofils 1 bzw. den Abstand zwischen der Außenschale 3a, 3a' des Rahmenprofils 3, 3' und der Innenschale 3b, 3b' des Rahmenprofils 3, 3'.At the in Fig. 2a shown system is a system in which the outer shells 3a, 3a 'of the respective frame profiles 3, 3' in each case via insulating webs 6, 6 'with the associated inner shells 3b, 3b 'are connected. In the same way, the post profile 1 is constructed from an outer shell 1a and an inner shell 1b, wherein insulating webs 2 are also used for their connection. The width of the respective insulating webs 2, 6, 6 'used for connecting the outer shells to the inner shells determines the distance between the outer shell 1a and the inner shell 1b of the post profile 1 or the distance between the outer shell 3a, 3a' of the frame profile 3 , 3 'and the inner shell 3b, 3b' of the frame profile 3, 3 '.

Bei einer im Hinblick auf die Ausführung gemäß Fig. 2b leicht abgeänderten Form sind die jeweiligen Isolierstege 2, 6, 6' weniger breit ausgeführt, was beispielsweise dann erfolgt, wenn die von den Rahmenprofilen 3, 3' gehaltenen Isolierverglasung 5, 5' eine geringere Gesamtstärke aufweisen. Bei dem in Fig. 2b gezeigten Fenster-/Türrahmensystem ist dies beispielsweise der Fall.With respect to the execution according to Fig. 2b slightly modified shape, the respective insulating webs 2, 6, 6 'are made less wide, which takes place, for example, when the of the frame profiles 3, 3' held insulating glazing 5, 5 'have a lower overall thickness. At the in Fig. 2b For example, this is the case with the window / door frame system shown.

Ein Vergleich der Figuren 2a und 2b zeigt eindeutig, dass durch die Verwendung der schmaleren Isolierstege 2, 6, 6' in der Ausführungsform gemäß Fig. 2b auch der Abstand zwischen der Außenschale 1a und der Innenschale 1b des Pfostenprofils bzw. der Abstand zwischen der Außenschale 3a, 3a' und der Innenschale 3b, 3b' der Rahmenprofile 3, 3' entsprechend verringert ist.A comparison of FIGS. 2a and 2b clearly shows that by the use of the narrower insulating bars 2, 6, 6 'in the embodiment according to Fig. 2b Also, the distance between the outer shell 1a and the inner shell 1b of the post profile or the distance between the outer shell 3a, 3a 'and the inner shell 3b, 3b' of the frame profiles 3, 3 'is reduced accordingly.

Da allerdings, wie bereits ausgeführt, das am oberen sowie am unteren Ende des Pfostenprofils 1 aufseitig in das Pfostenprofil 1 einzusetzende Dichtelement stets eine Länge aufweisen muss, die auf den Abstand zwischen der Außenschale 1a und der Innenschale 1b des Pfostenprofils 1 bzw. auf den Abstand zwischen der Außenschale 3a, 3a' und der Innenschale 3b, 3b' des an das Pfostenprofil 1 angrenzenden Rahmenprofils 3, 3' bezogen ist, sind für unterschiedlich breit ausgeführte Fenster-/Türrahmensystem jeweils unterschiedliche Dichtelemente zu verwenden. Dies ist im Hinblick auf Lagerungskosten etc. von Nachteil.However, as already stated, the sealing element to be used on the upper and lower ends of the upright profile 1 in the upright profile 1 must always have a length which depends on the distance between the outer shell 1a and the inner shell 1b of the upright profile 1 or on the spacing between the outer shell 3a, 3a 'and the inner shell 3b, 3b' of the adjoining the post profile 1 frame profile 3, 3 'is to be used for differently wide running window / door frame system each different sealing elements. This is disadvantageous in terms of storage costs, etc.

Demnach liegt der vorliegenden Erfindung die Aufgabe zugrunde, ein Dichtelement anzugeben, welches universell für unterschiedliche Fenster-/Türrahmensysteme einsetzbar ist, wobei insbesondere ein und dasselbe Dichtelement für Rahmensystem mit unterschiedlich weit beabstandeten Außen- und Innenschalen verwendet werden kann. Ferner soll ein Fenster-/Türrahmensystem mit einem an einem Rahmenprofil angeordneten Pfostenprofil angegeben werden, wobei das Fenster-/Türrahmensystem ferner zumindest ein Dichtelement aufweist, welches - unabhängig von dem Abstand zwischen der Außen-und Innenschale des Rahmenprofils - am oberen oder unteren Ende des Pfostenprofils aufseitig in das Pfostenprofil eingesteckt ist.Accordingly, the present invention seeks to provide a sealing element which is universally applicable to different window / door frame systems, in particular one and the same sealing element for frame system with differently spaced outer and inner shells can be used. Furthermore, a window / door frame system is to be specified with a arranged on a frame profile post profile, wherein the window / door frame system further comprises at least one sealing element, which - regardless of the distance between the outside and Inner shell of the frame profile - is inserted at the top or bottom of the post profile on the upright in the post profile.

Im Hinblick auf das Dichtelement wird diese Aufgabe mit einem Dichtelement der eingangs genannten Art dadurch gelöst, dass das Dichtelement ferner einen den ersten und zweiten Ausleger verbindenden Brückenabschnitt aufweist, welcher den Abstand zwischen dem ersten und dem zweiten Ausleger festlegt, wobei die Länge des Brückabschnittes, und somit der Abstand zwischen dem ersten und dem zweiten Ausleger variabel einstellbar ist.With regard to the sealing element, this object is achieved with a sealing element of the type mentioned above in that the sealing element further comprises a bridge section connecting the first and second arms, which defines the distance between the first and the second arm, wherein the length of the bridge section, and thus the distance between the first and the second boom is variably adjustable.

Die mit der erfindungsgemäßen Lösung erzielbaren Vorteile liegen auf der Hand. Dadurch, dass der Abstand zwischen dem ersten und dem zweiten Ausleger des Dichtelements nicht mehr auf die Breite des Pfostenprofils bzw. Rahmenprofils bezogen ist, ist es möglich, das erfindungsgemäße Dichtelement bei unterschiedlichen Fenster-/Türrahmensysteme zu verwenden, bei welchen die Außenschalen und Innenschalen der Rahmenprofile unterschiedlich weit beabstandet sind. Insbesondere ist es möglich, das Dichtelement einerseits bei Rahmensystems einzusetzen, bei denen - beispielsweise aufgrund einer erhöhten Wärmedämmung - die Außenschale des Rahmenprofils über relativ breit ausgeführte Isolierstege mit der zugehörigen Innenschale verbunden ist. Gleichzeitig eignet sich das Dichtelement auch für Rahmensysteme, bei denen der Abstand zwischen der Außenschale des Rahmenprofils und der Innenschale des Rahmenprofils entsprechend geringer ist. Dadurch, dass das Dichtelement gemäß der vorliegenden Erfindung universell für verschiedene Rahmensysteme verwendbar ist, entfällt somit die Notwendigkeit der Bereitstellung unterschiedlich ausgeführter Dichtelemente für spezielle Rahmensysteme.The achievable with the inventive solution advantages are obvious. The fact that the distance between the first and the second arm of the sealing element is no longer based on the width of the post profile or frame profile, it is possible to use the sealing element according to the invention in different window / door frame systems, in which the outer shells and inner shells of Frame profiles are spaced at different distances. In particular, it is possible to use the sealing element on the one hand in frame system in which - for example, due to increased thermal insulation - the outer shell of the frame profile is connected via relatively wide running Isolierstege with the associated inner shell. At the same time, the sealing element is also suitable for frame systems in which the distance between the outer shell of the frame profile and the inner shell of the frame profile is correspondingly lower. Characterized in that the sealing element according to the present invention is universally usable for various frame systems, thus eliminating the need to provide differently designed sealing elements for special frame systems.

Vorteilhafte Weiterentwicklungen der erfindungsgemäßen Lösung sind in den Unteransprüchen angegeben.Advantageous further developments of the solution according to the invention are specified in the subclaims.

In einer besonders bevorzugten Realisierung des zum Verbinden der beiden Ausleger des Dichtelementes verwendeten Brückenabschnittes ist vorgesehen, dass der Brückenabschnitt einen mit der ersten Ausleger fest verbundenen ersten Armabschnitt und einen mit dem zweiten Ausleger fest verbundenen zweiten Armabschnitt aufweist, wobei die beiden Armabschnitte des Brückenabschnittes einen Teleskopabschnitt bilden und teleskopartig miteinander wechselwirken, so dass die Länge des Brückenabschnittes durch den teleskopartigen Aufbau der beiden Armabschnitte variabel einstellbar ist. Insbesondere kann somit die Länge des Brückenabschnittes auf einen beliebig vorgebbaren Wert zwischen einem Maximalwert, bei welchem die beiden Armabschnitte des Brückenabschnittes relativ zueinander teleskopartig auseinandergezogen sind, und einem Minimalwert, bei welchem die beiden Armabschnitte des Brückenabschnittes relativ zueinander teleskopartig zusammengeschoben sind, annehmen.In a particularly preferred realization of the bridge section used for connecting the two arms of the sealing element, it is provided that the bridge section has a first arm section fixedly connected to the first arm and a second arm section firmly connected to the second arm, wherein the two arm sections of the bridge section comprise a telescopic section form and interact telescopically, so that the length of the bridge portion is variably adjustable by the telescopic structure of the two arm portions. In particular, therefore, the length of the bridge section to an arbitrarily predetermined value between a maximum value at which the two arm portions of the bridge portion are telescopically extended relative to each other and a minimum value at which the two arm portions of the bridge portion are telescopically collapsed relative to each other.

Bei der zuletzt genannten Ausführungsform, bei welcher der Brückenabschnitt die beiden teleskopartig miteinander wechselwirkenden Armabschnitte aufweist, ist besonders bevorzugt vorgesehen, dass der Brückenabschnitt ferner zumindest einen dritten Abschnitt aufweist, welcher zwischen dem ersten Armabschnitt und dem zweiten Armabschnitt angeordnet und mit diesen beiden Armabschnitten derart zusammenwirkt, dass die beiden Armabschnitt und der dritte Abschnitt einen dreisegmentigen Teleskopabschnitt bilden. Diese Ausführungsform ist insbesondere dann bevorzugt, wenn der Abstand zwischen der Außenschale des Pfostenprofils bzw. Rahmenprofils und der Innenschale des Pfostenprofils bzw. Rahmenprofils überdurchschnittlich groß ausgeführt ist. Selbstverständlich ist aber auch denkbar, dass der im Brückenabschnitt ausgebildete Teleskopabschnitt weitere Teleskopsegmente beinhaltet.In the last-mentioned embodiment, in which the bridge section has the two telescopically interacting arm sections, it is particularly preferred that the bridge section further has at least one third section which is arranged between the first arm section and the second arm section and interacts with these two arm sections in that the two arm sections and the third section form a three-segment telescopic section. This embodiment is particularly preferred when the distance between the outer shell of the mullion profile or frame profile and the inner shell of the mullion profile or frame profile is designed to be larger than average. Of course, however, it is also conceivable that the telescopic section formed in the bridge section contains further telescope segments.

Um zu erreichen, dass der im Brückenabschnitt des Dichtelements vorgesehene Teleskopabschnitt stufenweise aus- bzw. eingefahren werden kann, ist in einer besonders bevorzugten Weiterentwicklung vorgesehen, dass die beiden Armabschnitte des Brückenabschnittes eine sich in Längsrichtung des Brückenabschnittes erstreckende Teleskopführung bilden, welche an vorgegebenen Stellen Rastglieder etc. aufweist, wobei diese Rastglieder das stufenweise Aus- bzw. Einfahren des Teleskopabschnittes ermöglichen. Bei dieser bevorzugten Weiterentwicklung handelt es sich somit um ein Dichtelement, bei dem der Abstand zwischen dem ersten und dem zweiten Ausleger verschiedene und insbesondere vorab festgelegte (und mit Hilfe der Rastglieder definierte) Abstände annehmen kann. Dies ist insbesondere dann von Vorteil, wenn das Dichtelement bei Rahmensystemen angewandt werden, deren Breiten, also der Abstand zwischen der Innen- und Außenschale des Rahmenprofils, stufenweise variiert.In order to achieve that the telescopic section provided in the bridge section of the sealing element can be extended or retracted stepwise, it is provided in a particularly preferred further development that the two arm sections of the bridge section form a telescopic guide extending in the longitudinal direction of the bridge section, which locking elements engage at predetermined locations etc., wherein these locking members allow the stepwise extension or retraction of the telescopic section. This preferred further development is therefore a sealing element in which the distance between the first and the second arm can assume different and in particular predetermined (and defined with the aid of the locking members) distances. This is particularly advantageous if the sealing element are used in frame systems whose widths, ie the distance between the inner and outer shell of the frame profile, varies stepwise.

Grundsätzlich ist bevorzugt, dass bei der Ausführungsform des erfindungsgemäßen Dichtelements, bei welcher der Brückenabschnitt als Teleskopabschnitt ausgebildet ist, der Brückenabschnitt ferner ein vorzugsweise lösbares Sperrelement aufweist, welches am Teleskopabschnitt angeordnet und mit diesem derart zusammenwirkt, dass die Relativbewegung der beiden Ausleger des Dichtelements zueinander bei einer vorgebbaren Länge des Brückenabschnittes blockierbar ist. Durch das Vorsehen eines derartigen, vorzugsweise lösbaren Sperrelementes ist somit eine besonders sichere Fixierung des Dichtelementes an der Stirnseite des Pfostenprofils möglich.In principle, it is preferred that, in the embodiment of the sealing element according to the invention, in which the bridge section is formed as a telescopic section, the bridge section further comprises a preferably releasable blocking element, which is arranged on the telescopic section and cooperates therewith such that the relative movement of the two arms of the sealing element to each other a predetermined length of the bridge portion is blocked. By providing such, preferably detachable blocking element is thus a particularly secure fixation of the sealing element on the front side of the post profile possible.

In einer bevorzugten Realisierung der zuletzt genannten Ausführungsform, bei welcher der Brückenabschnitt des Dichtelements ferner mit einem vorzugsweise lösbar ausgeführten Sperrelement versehen ist, ist vorgesehen, dass das Sperrelement einen Raststift aufweist, welcher an einem der beiden Armabschnitte, beispielsweise am ersten Armabschnitt, ausgebildet ist, und dass das Sperrelement ferner zumindest ein Rastloch aufweist, welches komplementär zum Raststift ausgeführt und einer vorgegebenen Position in dem anderen der beiden Armabschnitte, beispielsweise in dem zweiten Armabschnitt, ausgebildet ist, wobei der Raststift in dem Rastloch aufnehmbar ist, um bei einer vorgebbaren Länge des Brückenabschnittes eine Relativbewegung der beiden Armabschnitte zueinander und somit eine Relativbewegung der beiden Ausleger des Dichtelements zueinander zu blockieren.In a preferred realization of the last-mentioned embodiment, in which the bridge section of the sealing element is furthermore provided with a preferably releasably designed blocking element, it is provided that the blocking element has a latching pin which is formed on one of the two arm sections, for example on the first arm section, and that the blocking element further comprises at least one detent hole, which is complementary to the detent pin and a predetermined position in the other of the two arm portions, for example in the second arm portion is formed, wherein the detent pin is receivable in the detent hole to a predetermined length of Bridge section a relative movement of the two arm portions to each other and thus to block a relative movement of the two arms of the sealing element to each other.

Alternativ oder zusätzlich hierzu ist es ebenfalls denkbar, dass das Sperrelement zumindest eine Schraube aufweist, welche derart in den im Brückenabschnitt des Dichtelements vorgesehenen Teleskopabschnitt einschraubbar ist, dass die Schraube die beiden Armabschnitte des Brückenabschnittes miteinander verbindet und somit eine Relativbewegung der beiden Armabschnitte zueinander und eine Relativbewegung der beiden Ausleger des Dichtelements zueinander blockiert. In diesem Zusammenhang wäre es zusätzlich denkbar, dass diese Schraube des Sperrelements gleichzeitig zum Befestigen des Dichtelements am Pfostenprofil dient.Alternatively or additionally, it is likewise conceivable that the blocking element has at least one screw which can be screwed into the telescopic section provided in the bridge section of the sealing element such that the screw connects the two arm sections of the bridge section to one another and thus a relative movement of the two arm sections relative to one another and one another Blocked relative movement of the two arms of the sealing element to each other. In this context, it would additionally be conceivable that this screw of the blocking element also serves to fasten the sealing element on the post profile.

Andererseits ist es allerdings auch möglich, dass das Dichtelement der vorliegenden Erfindung zusätzlich oder alternativ zu dem zuvor beschriebenen Teleskopabschnitt im Brückenabschnitt einen im Brückenabschnitt integrierten elastischen Abschnitt aufweist. Dieser elastische Abschnitt sollte dabei derart im Brückenabschnitt integriert sein, dass bei Einwirken einer mechanischen Kraft in Längsrichtung des Brückenabschnittes der Abstand zwischen den beiden Auslegern des Dichtelements verringerbar ist.On the other hand, it is also possible that the sealing element of the present invention additionally or alternatively to the previously described telescopic section in the bridge section has an integrated in the bridge section elastic portion. This elastic portion should be integrated in the bridge section such that when a mechanical force acts in the longitudinal direction of the bridge section, the distance between the two arms of the sealing element can be reduced.

Im Hinblick auf den zumindest einen elastischen Abschnitt, der in der zuletzt genannten bevorzugten Ausführungsform des Dichtelements im Brückenabschnitt integriert ist, ist vorzugsweise vorgesehen, dass dieser zumindest eine elastische Abschnitt derart ausgeführt ist, dass bei Entlastung des Brückenabschnittes die Länge des Brückenabschnittes einen Maximalwert annimmt, bei welchem die beiden Ausleger am weitesten voneinander beabstandet sind, wobei andererseits bei Belastung des Brückenabschnittes der elastische Abschnitt derart verformbar ist, dass die beiden Ausleger einen vorgebbaren minimalen Abstand zueinander aufweisen.With regard to the at least one elastic section, which is integrated in the last mentioned preferred embodiment of the sealing element in the bridge section, it is preferably provided that this at least one elastic section is designed such that when the bridge section is relieved the length of the bridge section assumes a maximum value, in which the two arms are spaced furthest from each other, on the other hand, under load of the bridge portion of the elastic Section is deformable such that the two arms have a predetermined minimum distance from each other.

Auch bei der zuletzt genannten Ausführungsform, bei welcher der Brückenabschnitt zumindest einen elastischen Abschnitt aufweist, ist es bevorzugt, dass der Brückenabschnitt ferner ein vorzugsweise lösbares Sperrelements umfasst, welches am elastischen Abschnitt angeordnet und mit diesem derart zusammenwirkt, dass die Relativbewegung der beiden Ausleger zueinander bei einer vorgebbaren Länge des Brückenabschnittes blockierbar ist.Also in the last-mentioned embodiment, in which the bridge section has at least one elastic section, it is preferred that the bridge section further comprises a preferably releasable locking element which is arranged on the elastic section and interacts therewith in such a way that the relative movement of the two arms relative to one another a predetermined length of the bridge portion is blocked.

Im Hinblick auf die derzeit üblichen Rahmenprofile ist es bevorzugt, dass der Brückenabschnitt des Dichtelements eine Maximallänge von ca. 58 mm, und vorzugsweise 53 mm, und eine Minimallänge von ca. 48 mm und vorzugsweise 43 mm aufweist, um somit das Dichtelement bei den üblichen, auf dem Markt vorhandenen Rahmensystemen anwenden zu können.With regard to the currently customary frame profiles, it is preferred that the bridge portion of the sealing element has a maximum length of about 58 mm, and preferably 53 mm, and a minimum length of about 48 mm and preferably 43 mm, thus the sealing element in the usual to be able to use existing frameworks on the market.

Im Hinblick auf die Befestigung des Dichtelements an der Stirnseite des Pfostenprofils ist es bevorzugt, dass der erste Ausleger des Dichtelements derart ausgeführt ist, dass er zumindest in einen Teil der zum Pfostenprofil gehörenden Außenschale einsteckbar und so mit der Außenschale verbindbar ist. Dieses zumindest eine Teil der zum Pfostenprofil gehörende Außenschale kann entweder eine im Innern der Außenschale ausgebildete Hohlkammer sein; denkbar wäre es auch, dass der erste Ausleger in ein Anschlagprofil zur Aufnahme einer Anschlagdichtung etc. eingreift.With regard to the attachment of the sealing element on the end face of the post profile, it is preferred that the first arm of the sealing element is designed such that it can be inserted at least into a part of the outer shell belonging to the post profile and can thus be connected to the outer shell. This at least part of the outer shell belonging to the post profile can either be a hollow chamber formed in the interior of the outer shell; It would also be conceivable that the first arm engages in a stop profile for receiving a stop seal etc.

Alternativ oder zusätzlich hierzu ist es ferner bevorzugt, dass der zweite Ausleger des Dichtelements derart ausgeführt ist, dass er zumindest in einen Teil der zum Pfostenprofil gehörenden Innenschale einsteckbar und so mit der Innenschale verbindbar ist. Insbesondere ist es auch hier denkbar, dass der zweite Ausleger in eine zur Innenschale des Pfostenprofils ausgebildete Hohlkamm eingreift. Selbstverständlich sind aber auch andere Ausführungsformen denkbar.Alternatively or additionally, it is further preferred that the second arm of the sealing element is designed such that it can be inserted at least into a part of the inner shell belonging to the post profile and can thus be connected to the inner shell. In particular, it is also conceivable here that the second arm engages in a formed to the inner shell of the post profile hollow comb. Of course, other embodiments are conceivable.

Um zu erreichen, dass das erfindungsgemäße Dichtelement möglichst sicher mit der Stirnseite des Pfostenprofils verbindbar ist, ist vorgesehen, dass der erste Ausleger ein Querschnittsformgebung aufweist, die der Querschnittsformgebung desjenigen Teils der Außenschale des Pfostenprofils entspricht, in welches der erste Ausleger einsteckbar ist. Alternativ oder zusätzlich hierzu ist ferner bevorzugt, dass der zweite Ausleger des Dichtelements eine Querschnittsformgebung aufweist, die der Querschnittsformgebung desjenigen Teils der Innenschale des Pfostenprofils entspricht, in welches der zweite Ausleger des Dichtelements einsteckbar ist. Selbstverständlich ist es hierbei auch denkbar, dass die beiden Ausleger des Dichtelements, beispielsweise mittels einer Silikonmasse etc., mit den entsprechenden Teilen des Pfostenprofils verklebt werden. Auch ist möglich, dass die Ausleger mit den jeweiligen Teilen des Pfostenprofils verschraubt werden.In order to achieve that the sealing element according to the invention as safe as possible with the front side of the post profile is connectable, it is provided that the first arm has a cross-sectional shape corresponding to the cross-sectional shape of that part of the outer shell of the post profile, in which the first arm can be inserted. Alternatively or additionally, it is further preferred that the second arm of the sealing element has a cross-sectional shape, the cross-sectional shape corresponds to that part of the inner shell of the post profile, in which the second arm of the sealing element can be inserted. Of course, it is also conceivable that the two arms of the sealing element, for example by means of a silicone compound, etc., are glued to the corresponding parts of the post profile. It is also possible that the arms are bolted to the respective parts of the post profile.

Um zu erreichen, dass mit Hilfe des Dichtelements eine durchlaufende und möglichst einwandfreie Abdichtung des Übergangbereiches zwischen der Stirnseite des Pfostenprofils einerseits und der Stirnseite des Rahmenprofils andererseits sichergestellt werden kann, ist bevorzug vorgesehen, dass das erfindungsgemäße Dichtelement auf seiner den beiden Auslegern entgegengesetzten Seite eine Profilierung aufweist, wobei diese Profilierung des Dichtelements im wesentlichen der Profilierung des Rahmenprofils am Übergangsbereich entspricht. Denkbar wäre es aber auch, dass diese Profilierung des Dichtelements im wesentlichen der Profilierung einer zum Pfostenprofil gehörenden Außenschale im horizontalen oberen oder unteren Bereich entspricht.In order to achieve that with the help of the sealing element a continuous and as perfect as possible sealing of the transition region between the end face of the post profile on the one hand and the front side of the frame profile on the other hand can be ensured Favor is provided that the sealing element according to the invention on its side opposite the two arms profiling has, wherein this profiling of the sealing element substantially corresponds to the profiling of the frame profile at the transition region. It would also be conceivable, however, that this profiling of the sealing element substantially corresponds to the profiling of an outer shell belonging to the post profile in the horizontal upper or lower region.

Besonders bevorzugt wird das Dichtelement der erfindungsgemäßen Lösung bei einem Fenster-/Türrahmensystem verwendet, welches ein Rahmenprofil beispielsweise zum Halten einer Isolierverglasung und ein an dem Rahmenprofil angeordnetes Pfostenprofil aufweist, wobei das Dichtelement der vorliegenden Erfindung am oberen oder unteren Ende des Pfostenprofils aufseitig in das Pfostenprofil eingesteckt ist. Wie bereits erwähnt, ist es denkbar, dass das Pfostenprofil eine Außenschale und eine Innenschale aufweist, die mit Hilfe von zumindest einem Isoliersteg miteinander verbunden sind. Da das Dichtelement nicht mehr (wie beim Stand der Technik) auf die jeweilige Breite des Pfostenprofils bzw. Rahmenprofils bezogen ist, eignet sich das erfindungsgemäße Dichtelement für diverse Fenster-/Türrahmensysteme, die unterschiedlich breit ausgeführte Isolierstege zum Verbinden der Außen- und Innenschale des Pfostenprofils aufweisen.Particularly preferably, the sealing element of the inventive solution in a window / door frame system is used, which has a frame profile, for example, for holding a glazing and arranged on the frame profile post profile, wherein the sealing element of the present invention at the top or bottom of the post profile on the side in the post profile is plugged in. As already mentioned, it is conceivable that the post profile has an outer shell and an inner shell which are connected to one another with the aid of at least one insulating web. Since the sealing element is no longer (as in the prior art) based on the respective width of the mullion profile or frame profile, the sealing element according to the invention is suitable for various window / door frame systems, the differently wide running Isolierstege for connecting the outer and inner shell of the mullion profile exhibit.

Die erfindungsgemäße Lösung ist selbstverständlich nicht auf Rahmensysteme in Stulpflügelausführung beschränkt, bei welchen ein Dichtelement (Stulpdichtung) im Anschlagbereich zwischen dem Rahmenprofil (Stulpflügelprofil) und dem Pfostenprofil (Stulpprofil) angeordnet ist, um bei einem geschlossenen Fenster auch im unteren und im oberen Abschlussbereich eine durchgehende und einwandfreie Abdichtung des Fensters sicherzustellen. Vielmehr eignet sich die erfindungsgemäße Lösung auch für Rahmensysteme, bei welchen das Pfostenprofil nicht an einem vertikalen Holm des Rahmenprofils befestigt, sondern als ein feststehendes Pfostenprofil ausgeführt ist.The solution according to the invention is of course not limited to frame systems in Stulflügelausführung in which a sealing element (forend seal) in the attack area between the frame profile (Stulflügelprofil) and the mullion profile (Stulpprofil) is arranged to a closed window in the lower and upper end of a continuous area and to ensure perfect sealing of the window. Rather, the solution according to the invention is also suitable for frame systems in which the post profile is not attached to a vertical spar of the frame profile, but is designed as a fixed post profile.

Nachfolgend wird eine bevorzugte Ausführungsform des erfindungsgemäßen Dichtelements anhand der beigefügten Zeichnungen näher beschrieben.Hereinafter, a preferred embodiment of the sealing element according to the invention will be described with reference to the accompanying drawings.

Fig. 1 zeigt in einer perspektivischen, teilgeschnittenen Ansicht ein Beispiel eines herkömmlichen Fenster-/Türrahmensystems, bei welchem ein feststehendes oder loses Pfostenprofil 1 im Anschlagbereich mit einem Rahmenprofil 3 verbunden ist. An dem in Fig. 1 gezeigten oberen Ende des Pfostenprofils 1 wird ein vorzugsweise aus Kunststoff hergestelltes Dichtelement 110 aufseitig in das Pfostenprofil 1 eingesetzt. Das Dichtelement 110 ist dabei mit einem ersten Ausleger 111 versehen, dessen Querschnitt dem Querschnitt eines zu dem Außenschalenprofil 1a des Pfostenprofils 1 gehörenden Teils, wie etwa einer Anschlagdichtung, entspricht. Dieser erste Ausleger 111 des Dichtelements 110 schließt an der Ober- und and der Unterseite des Pfostenprofils 1 jeweils an eine im Übergangsbereich zwischen dem Rahmenprofil 3 und dem Pfostenprofil 1 vorgesehene Anschlagdichtung an, so dass eine durchlaufende und einwandfreie Abdichtung gewährleistet ist. Hierzu ist erforderlich, dass sich das Dichtelement 110 über die gesamte Breite des Pfostenprofils 1 bzw. des Rahmenprofils 3 erstreckt. Wie bereits dargelegt, weist die bekannte Lösung Nachteile auf, wenn bei dem Fenster-/Türrahmensystem beispielsweise Rahmenprofile 3 verwendet werden, die verschiedene Breiten aufweisen, wie es in Fig. 2 angedeutet ist. Fig. 1 shows in a perspective, partially sectional view of an example of a conventional window / door frame system, in which a fixed or loose mullion profile 1 is connected to a frame profile 3 in the stop area. At the in Fig. 1 shown upper end of the post section 1, a preferably made of plastic sealing element 110 is inserted on the side into the post section 1. The sealing element 110 is provided with a first arm 111, the cross section of the Cross-section corresponding to the outer shell profile 1a of the post section 1 part, such as a stop seal corresponds. This first arm 111 of the sealing element 110 connects at the top and at the bottom of the post section 1 respectively to a provided in the transition region between the frame section 3 and the post profile 1 stop seal, so that a continuous and perfect seal is guaranteed. For this purpose, it is necessary for the sealing element 110 to extend over the entire width of the post profile 1 or of the frame profile 3. As already stated, the known solution has disadvantages when, for example, frame profiles 3 are used in the window / door frame system, which have different widths, as shown in FIG Fig. 2 is indicated.

Im Einzelnen zeigt Fig. 2a einen horizontal Schnitt durch eine Fenster-/Türrahmensystem, bei welchem ein erstes Rahmenprofil 3 zum Halten einer ersten Isolierverglasung 5 und ein zweites Rahmenprofil 3' zum Halten einer zweiten Isolierverglasung 5' vorgesehen sind. Zwischen diesen beiden Rahmenprofilen 3, 3' ist ein Pfostenprofil 1 angeordnet. Bei einer im Hinblick auf die Ausführung gemäß Fig. 2a leicht abgeänderten Form sind die jeweiligen Isolierstege 2, 6, 6' weniger breit ausgeführt, was beispielsweise dann erfolgt, wenn die von den Rahmenprofilen 3, 3' gehaltenen Isolierverglasung 5, 5' eine geringere Gesamtstärke aufweisen. Ein Vergleich der Figuren 2a und 2b zeigt eindeutig, dass durch die Verwendung der schmaleren Isolierstege 2, 6, 6' in der Ausführungsform gemäß Fig. 2b auch der Abstand zwischen der Außenschale 1a und der Innenschale 1b des Pfostenprofils bzw. der Abstand zwischen der Außenschale 3a, 3a' und der Innenschale 3b, 3b' der Rahmenprofile 3, 3' entsprechend verringert ist.In detail shows Fig. 2a a horizontal section through a window / door frame system in which a first frame section 3 for holding a first insulating glazing 5 and a second frame profile 3 'for holding a second insulating glazing 5' are provided. Between these two frame sections 3, 3 'a post profile 1 is arranged. With respect to the execution according to Fig. 2a slightly modified shape, the respective insulating webs 2, 6, 6 'are made less wide, which takes place, for example, when the of the frame profiles 3, 3' held insulating glazing 5, 5 'have a lower overall thickness. A comparison of FIGS. 2a and 2b clearly shows that by the use of the narrower insulating bars 2, 6, 6 'in the embodiment according to Fig. 2b Also, the distance between the outer shell 1a and the inner shell 1b of the post profile or the distance between the outer shell 3a, 3a 'and the inner shell 3b, 3b' of the frame profiles 3, 3 'is reduced accordingly.

Die nachfolgend im einzelnen beschriebene bevorzugte Ausführungsform des erfindungsgemäßen Dichtelements ist hingegen universell für unterschiedliche Fenster-/Türrahmensysteme einsetzbar ist, wobei insbesondere ein und dasselbe Dichtelement für Rahmensystem mit unterschiedlich weit beabstandeten Außen- und Innenschalen verwendet werden kann.The preferred embodiment of the sealing element according to the invention described in detail below, however, is universally applicable for different window / door frame systems, in particular one and the same sealing element for frame system with differently spaced outer and inner shells can be used.

Die in den Zeichnungen dargestellte bevorzugte Ausführungsform des erfindungsgemäßen Dichtelements 10 dient zum Bereitstellen einer durchgehenden Abdichtung eines Übergangsbereiches zwischen der Stirnseite eines Pfostenprofils 1 und der Stirnseite eines Rahmenprofils 3, 3'. Das erfindungsgemäße Dichtelement 10 weist einen ersten Ausleger 11 auf, der an der Stirnseite des Pfostenprofils 1 mit einer zum Pfostenprofil 1 gehörenden Außenschale 1a verbindbar ist. Des Weiteren umfasst das Dichtelement 10 einen zweiten Ausleger 12, der an der Stirnseite des Pfostenprofils 1 mit einer zum Pfostenprofil 1 gehörenden Innenschale 1a verbindbar ist. Die beiden Ausleger 11, 12 des Dichtelements 10 sind miteinander über einen Brückenabschnitt 13 verbunden. Dieser Brückenabschnitt 13 legt den Abstand D zwischen dem ersten und dem zweiten Ausleger 11, 12 fest.The illustrated in the drawings preferred embodiment of the sealing element 10 according to the invention serves to provide a continuous sealing of a transition region between the end face of a post section 1 and the end face of a frame profile 3, 3 '. The sealing element 10 according to the invention has a first arm 11, which is connectable to the front side of the post section 1 with an outer shell 1a belonging to the post profile 1. Furthermore, the sealing element 10 comprises a second arm 12, which on the front side of the post section 1 with a post profile 1 belonging inner shell 1a is connectable. The two arms 11, 12 of the sealing element 10 are connected to each other via a bridge section 13. This bridge section 13 defines the distance D between the first and second arms 11, 12.

Um zu erreichen, dass das Dichtelement 10 für verschiedene Rahmensysteme anwendbar ist (vergl. Figuren 2a, 2b), ist erfindungsgemäß vorgesehen, dass die Länge des Brückenabschnittes 13 des Dichtelementes 10, und somit der Abstand D zwischen den beiden Auslegern 11, 12 des Dichtelements 10 variabel einstellbar ist. Hierzu weist das Dichtelement 10 gemäß der dargestellten bevorzugten Ausführungsform einen Brückenabschnitt 13 auf, der einen mit dem ersten Ausleger 11 fest verbundenen ersten Armabschnitt 14 sowie einen mit dem zweiten Ausleger 12 fest verbundenen zweiten Armabschnitt 15 umfasst. Diese beiden Armabschnitte 14, 15 des Brückenabschnittes 13 bilden einen Teleskopabschnitt, da die beiden Armabschnitte 14, 15 teleskopartig miteinander derart wechselwirken, dass die Länge des Brückenabschnittes durch den teleskopartigen Aufbau der beiden Armabschnitte 14, 15 variabel einstellbar ist und einen vorgebbaren Wert annehmen kann.In order to achieve that the sealing element 10 is applicable to various frame systems (see FIG. FIGS. 2a, 2b ), the invention provides that the length of the bridge portion 13 of the sealing element 10, and thus the distance D between the two arms 11, 12 of the sealing element 10 is variably adjustable. For this purpose, according to the illustrated preferred embodiment, the sealing element 10 has a bridge section 13 which comprises a first arm section 14 fixedly connected to the first arm 11 and a second arm section 15 fixedly connected to the second arm 12. These two arm sections 14, 15 of the bridge section 13 form a telescope section, since the two arm sections 14, 15 interact telescopically with one another such that the length of the bridge section can be variably adjusted by the telescopic structure of the two arm sections 14, 15 and can assume a predefinable value.

Dieser vorgebbare Wert liegt zwischen einem Maximalwert, bei welchem die beiden Armabschnitte 14, 15 des Brückenabschnittes 13 relativ zueinander teleskopartig auseinandergezogen sind, wie es in den Figuren 3a bis 3c gezeigt ist. Vorzugsweise beträgt im vollständig auseinandergezogenen Zustand der beiden Armabschnitte 14, 15 der Abstand D zwischen den beiden Auslegern 11, 12 des Dichtelements 10 53 mm. Selbstverständlich sind aber auch andere Längen denkbar.This predefinable value lies between a maximum value at which the two arm sections 14, 15 of the bridge section 13 are telescopically pulled apart relative to one another, as shown in FIGS FIGS. 3a to 3c is shown. In the fully extended state of the two arm sections 14, 15, the distance D between the two arms 11, 12 of the sealing element 10 is preferably 53 mm. Of course, other lengths are conceivable.

Andererseits wirken die beiden Armabschnitte 14, 15 des Brückenabschnittes 13 derart teleskopartig miteinander zusammen, dass in einem Zustand, wenn die beiden Armabschnitte 14, 15 des Brückenabschnittes 13 relativ zueinander teleskopartig zusammengeschoben sind, der Abstand zwischen den beiden Auslegern 11, 12 des Dichtelements 10 einen Minimalwert von vorzugsweise 43 mm annimmt, wie es in den Figuren 4a bis 4c gezeigt ist. Auch hier gilt selbstverständlich, dass der Wert für den Minimalabstand zwischen den beiden Auslegern bei Bedarf anders gewählt werden kann.On the other hand, the two arm portions 14, 15 of the bridge portion 13 telescope together such that in a state when the two arm portions 14, 15 of the bridge portion 13 telescopically pushed together, the distance between the two arms 11, 12 of the sealing element 10 a Minimum value of preferably 43 mm, as it is in the FIGS. 4a to 4c is shown. Again, it goes without saying that the value for the minimum distance between the two arms can be chosen differently if necessary.

Bei der bevorzugten Ausführungsform des erfindungsgemäßen Dichtelements sind insbesondere die beiden Armabschnitte 14, 15 des Brückenabschnittes 13 derart ausgeführt, dass sie eine sich in Längsrichtung des Brückenabschnittes 13 erstreckende Teleskopführung 16 bilden, welche mehrere an vorgegebenen Stellen angeordnete Rastglieder 17 aufweist, um einen stufenweise Aus- und Einfahren des Teleskopabschnittes zu ermöglichen. In den Figuren 3 und 4 ist lediglich ein Rastglied 17 zu erkennen, welches die Relativbewegung der beiden Armabschnitte 14, 15 mit den an diesen verbundenen Auslegern 11, 12 begrenzt und somit den Minimalabstand der beiden Ausleger 11, 12 definiert. Andere Rastglieder 17 sind innerhalb des in den Zeichnungen verdeckt dargestellten Bereiches der Teleskopführung 16 angeordnet.In the preferred embodiment of the sealing element according to the invention, in particular the two arm sections 14, 15 of the bridge section 13 are designed such that they form a telescopic guide 16 extending in the longitudinal direction of the bridge section 13, which has a plurality of latching elements 17 arranged at predetermined locations, to allow a gradual extension and retraction of the telescopic section. In the Figures 3 and 4 is only a locking member 17 can be seen, which limits the relative movement of the two arm portions 14, 15 with the arms 13 connected thereto, 12 and thus defines the minimum distance between the two arms 11, 12. Other locking members 17 are arranged within the area of the telescopic guide 16 shown hidden in the drawings.

Selbstverständlich ist es allerdings auch denkbar, dass der Teleskopabschnitt ohne Rastglieder ausgeführt ist, so dass die Länge des Brückenabschnittes 13 auf einen beliebigen Wert zwischen einem Maximalwert, bei welchem die beiden Armabschnitte 14, 15 des Brückenabschnittes 13 relativ zueinander teleskopartig auseinander gezogen sind, und einem Minimalwert, bei welchem die beiden Armabschnitte 14, 15 des Brückenabschnittes 13 relativ zueinander teleskopartig zusammen geschoben sind, annehmen kann.Of course, it is also conceivable that the telescopic section is executed without locking members, so that the length of the bridge portion 13 to any value between a maximum value at which the two arm portions 14, 15 of the bridge portion 13 are pulled apart telescopically, and a Minimum value at which the two arm portions 14, 15 of the bridge portion 13 are slid together telescopically relative to each other, can assume.

Wie in den Figuren 3 und 4 dargestellt, ist bei der bevorzugten Ausführungsform des erfindungsgemäßen Dichtelements 10 ferner vorgesehen, dass der Brückenabschnitt 13 zusätzlich mit einem lösbaren Sperrelement 18 in Gestalt einer Schraube versehen ist. Im Einzelnen ist das Sperrelement 18 am Teleskopabschnitt des Brückenabschnittes 13 angeordnet, wobei das Sperrelement 18 mit diesem Teleskopabschnitt derart zusammenwirkt, dass die Relativbewegung der beiden Armabschnitte 14, 15 des Brückenabschnittes 13 bei einer gewünschten Länge des Brückenabschnittes 13 durch Anziehen der Schraube 18 blockiert werden kann.As in the Figures 3 and 4 is shown in the preferred embodiment of the sealing element 10 according to the invention further provided that the bridge portion 13 is additionally provided with a releasable locking element 18 in the form of a screw. In detail, the blocking element 18 is arranged on the telescopic section of the bridge section 13, wherein the blocking element 18 cooperates with this telescopic section such that the relative movement of the two arm sections 14, 15 of the bridge section 13 can be blocked at a desired length of the bridge section 13 by tightening the screw 18 ,

Hierbei sei darauf hingewiesen, dass in den Figuren 5 und 6 die Schraube 18, die vorzugsweise mit einer Gegenmutter wechselwirkt, nicht dargestellt ist.It should be noted that in the FIGS. 5 and 6 the screw 18, which preferably interacts with a locknut, is not shown.

Als Sperrelement 18 kommen selbstverständlich aber auch andere Ausführungsformen in Frage. Insbesondere ist es möglich, einen Rastmechanismus zu verwenden, der beispielsweise einen an einen der beiden Armabschnitte 14, 15 angeordneten Raststift sowie zumindest ein Rastloch umfasst, welches komplementär zum Raststift ausgeführt und an einer vorgegebenen Position in dem anderen der beiden Armabschnitte 15, 14 ausgebildet ist. Dabei sollte der Rastmechanismus so ausgeführt sein, dass der Raststift in dem Rastloch aufnehmbar ist, um bei einer vorgebbaren Länge des Brückenabschnittes 13 eine Relativbewegung der beiden Armabschnitte 13, 14 zueinander und somit eine Relativbewegung der beiden Ausleger 11, 12 des Dichtelements 10 zueinander zu blockieren.As blocking element 18, however, other embodiments are of course also possible. In particular, it is possible to use a latching mechanism which comprises, for example, a latching pin arranged on one of the two arm sections 14, 15 and at least one latching hole which is complementary to the latching pin and formed at a predetermined position in the other of the two arm sections 15, 14 , In this case, the latching mechanism should be designed so that the locking pin is receivable in the detent hole to block at a predetermined length of the bridge portion 13, a relative movement of the two arm portions 13, 14 to each other and thus a relative movement of the two arms 11, 12 of the sealing member 10 to each other ,

Die bei der dargestellten bevorzugten Ausführungsform des Dichtelements 10 als Sperrelement 18 verwendete Schraube kann selbstverständlich auch zum Befestigen des Dichtelements 10 am Pfostenprofil 1 verwendet werden.The screw used in the illustrated preferred embodiment of the sealing element 10 as a locking element 18 can of course also be used for fastening the sealing element 10 on the post profile 1.

Bei der bevorzugten Ausführungsform des erfindungsgemäßen Dichtelements 10 ist vorgesehen, dass der erste Ausleger 11 des Dichtelementes 10 derart ausgeführt ist, dass er in eine in der Außenschale 1a des Pfostenprofils 1 vorgesehenen Hohlkammer einsteckbar und so mit der Außenschale 1a des Pfostenprofils 1 verbindbar ist. Selbstverständlich ist es aber auch denkbar, dass der erste Ausleger 11 bspw. in ein Anschlagprofil der Außenschale 1a des Pfostenprofils 1 eingreift. Der zweite Ausleger 12 des Dichtelements 10 ist bei der dargestellten bevorzugten Ausführungsform derart ausgeführt, dass er zumindest in einen Teil der zum Pfostenprofil 1 gehörenden Innenschale 1b einsteckbar und derart mit der Innenschale 1b verbindbar ist. Denkbar hierbei wäre es wiederum, eine zur Innenschale 1b des Pfostenprofils 1 zugehörige Hohlkammer 4b zu verwenden, an welcher der zweite Ausleger 12 des Dichtelements 10 aufgenommen wird. Selbstverständlich sind aber auch andere zur Innenschale 1b des Pfostenprofils 1 zugehörigen Teile denkbar, um den zweiten Ausleger 12 des Dichtelementes 10 aufzunehmen.In the preferred embodiment of the sealing element 10 according to the invention it is provided that the first arm 11 of the sealing element 10 is designed such that it can be inserted into a hollow chamber provided in the outer shell 1a of the post profile 1 and can thus be connected to the outer shell 1a of the post profile 1. Of course, it is also conceivable that the first arm 11, for example, engages in a stop profile of the outer shell 1a of the post profile 1. The second arm 12 of the sealing element 10 is designed in the illustrated preferred embodiment such that it can be inserted at least into a part of the inner shell 1 b belonging to the post profile 1 and can thus be connected to the inner shell 1 b. In this case, it would be conceivable to use a hollow chamber 4b belonging to the inner shell 1b of the post profile 1, on which the second arm 12 of the sealing element 10 is received. Of course, other parts associated with the inner shell 1b of the post profile 1 are also conceivable in order to receive the second arm 12 of the sealing element 10.

An dieser Stelle sei darauf hingewiesen, dass die derzeit üblicherweise verwendeten Rahmensysteme (vergl. Fig. 2a, Fig. 2b) zwar unterschiedliche Abstände zwischen den verwendeten Außen- und Innenschalen aufweisen können, die Außen- bzw. Innenschalen selber allerdings sind in der Regel durch gleiche Profile ausgebildet, so dass unabhängig von der Breite des Rahmensystems grundsätzlich entsprechende zur Außenschale bzw. zur Innenschale gehörende Profilteile vorhanden sind, welche zur Aufnahme der zugehörigen Ausleger 11, 12 des Dichtelementes 10 herangezogen werden können.It should be noted at this point that the frame systems currently used (cf. Fig. 2a, Fig. 2b ) may have different distances between the outer and inner shells used, the outer and inner shells themselves, however, are usually formed by the same profile, so that regardless of the width of the frame system basically corresponding to the outer shell or the inner shell belonging profile parts available are, which can be used to receive the associated boom 11, 12 of the sealing element 10.

Demnach ist bevorzugt vorgesehen, dass der erste Ausleger 11 und der zweite Ausleger 12 des Dichtelements 10 jeweils eine Querschnittsformgebung aufweisen, die der Querschnittsformgebung desjenigen Teils der Außenschale 1a bzw. der Innenschale 1b des Pfostenprofils 1 entsprechen, in welches die jeweiligen Ausleger 11, 12 aufnehmbar bzw. einsteckbar sind.Accordingly, it is preferably provided that the first arm 11 and the second arm 12 of the sealing element 10 each have a cross-sectional shape corresponding to the cross-sectional shape of that part of the outer shell 1a and the inner shell 1b of the post profile 1, in which the respective arm 11, 12 can be accommodated or can be inserted.

Die Erfindung ist nicht auf das im Zusammenhang mit den beigefügten Figuren beschriebene Dichtelement 10 beschränkt; vielmehr sind sämtliche hierin offenbarten Merkmale einzeln oder in Kombination miteinander bei einer Realisierung des Dichtelementes 10 denkbar.The invention is not limited to the sealing element 10 described in connection with the attached figures; Rather, all features disclosed herein are conceivable individually or in combination with each other in a realization of the sealing element 10.

Insbesondere eignet sich das erfindungsgemäße Dichtelement 10 für ein Fenster-/Türrahmensystem mit einem an einem Rahmenprofil 3, 3' angeordneten Pfostenprofil 1, wobei das Pfostenprofil 1 eine Außenschale 1a und eine Innenschale 1b aufweist, die vorzugsweise mit Hilfe von zumindest einem Isoliersteg 2 miteinander verbunden sind, wobei das Fenster-/Türrahmensystem ferner zumindest ein Dichtelement 10 gemäß der vorliegenden Erfindung aufweist, welches am oberen oder unteren Ende des Pfostenprofils 1 aufseitig in das Pfostenprofil 1 einsteckbar ist.In particular, the sealing element 10 according to the invention is suitable for a window / door frame system with a post profile 1 arranged on a frame profile 3, 3 ', the post profile 1 having an outer shell 1a and an inner shell 1b, which are preferably connected to one another with the aid of at least one insulating web 2 are, wherein the window / door frame system further comprises at least one sealing element 10 according to the present invention, which at the top or bottom of the post profile 1 on the side in the post profile 1 can be inserted.

Allerdings ist es selbstverständlich auch denkbar, dass die Außenschale 1a des Pfostenprofils 1 mit der Innenschale 1b des Pfostenprofils 1 nicht über ein Isoliersteg 2 verbunden ist, sondern dass die Außenschale 1a und die Innenschale 1b einstückig ausgebildet sind.However, it is of course also conceivable that the outer shell 1a of the post section 1 is not connected to the inner shell 1b of the post section 1 via an insulating web 2, but that the outer shell 1a and the inner shell 1b are integrally formed.

Wie in den Figuren 3a bis 3c und 4a bis 4c gezeigt, weist das Dichtelement 10 gemäß der bevorzugten Ausführungsform auf seiner den Auslegern 11, 12 entgegengesetzten Seiten eine Profilierung 19 auf, wobei diese Profilierung 19 ausgelegt ist, im Übergangsbereich zwischen der Stirnseite des Pfostenprofils 1 und der Stirnseite des Rahmenprofils 3, 3' eine durchlaufende Abdichtung bereitzustellen. Insbesondere entspricht die Profilierung 19 des Dichtelements 10 im wesentlichen der Profilierung des Rahmenprofils 3, 3' am Übergangsbereich.As in the FIGS. 3a to 3c and 4a to 4c shown, the sealing element 10 according to the preferred embodiment on its the arms 11, 12 opposite sides of a profiling 19, said profiling 19 is designed in the transition region between the end face of the post section 1 and the front side of the frame profile 3, 3 'is a continuous To provide sealing. In particular, the profiling 19 of the sealing element 10 substantially corresponds to the profiling of the frame profile 3, 3 'at the transition region.

Zwar ist in den Figuren dargestellt, dass die beiden Ausleger 11, 12 des Dichtelements in die der Profilierung 19 entgegengesetzte Richtung ausgebildet sind. Dies ist allerdings nicht zwingend erforderlich. Vielmehr wäre es auch denkbar, dass beispielsweise der zweite Ausleger 12 im Vergleich zum ersten Ausleger 11 in die entgegengesetzte Richtung zeigt, wenn dies erforderlich ist, um zur Befestigung des Dichtelementes 10 in ein entsprechendes Teil der Innenschale 1b des Pfostenprofils 1 einzugreifen.Although it is shown in the figures that the two arms 11, 12 of the sealing element are formed in the profiling 19 opposite direction. However, this is not mandatory. Rather, it would also be conceivable that, for example, the second arm 12 points in the opposite direction compared to the first arm 11, if this is necessary in order to engage the fastening of the sealing element 10 in a corresponding part of the inner shell 1 b of the post profile 1.
