EP2251519B1 - Connection device for a partition element - Google Patents

Description

The invention relates to a connecting device for a plate-shaped separating element, in particular a glass plate, as well as a provided with the connecting device separating element.

For partitioning or designing rooms or for closing room or window openings often provided with a plate walls, scenes, doors or shops are used (hereinafter referred to as separating elements), which are fixedly mounted or mounted on slidable along a rail drives and optionally rotatably supported are.

For assembly, handling, aesthetic design or protection of such separators, it is often necessary to provide them peripherally with profile elements.

By profile strips, e.g. a frame is formed, which protects or carries the glass plate.

From [1], DE 35 09 187 A1 , It is known that a wing frame formed by moldings can form the supporting element of a separating element or a glass plate. For attachment of profile strips, these were clamped, for example, with the glass plate and then completed with a sealant. It was found that laminated glass is not suitable for this type of compounds because its edge does not withstand the jamming.

To avoid disturbing stresses in the connection of profile elements with laminated glass is provided in [1] that the profile strips have at least one groove which serves to receive the edge of the glass plate, which is fixed within the channel by means of an adhesive.

The disadvantage of this solution is that various problems can occur when handling the adhesive. On the one hand, make sure that the glue is evenly in the gutter and all retaining grooves provided therein are distributed. When placing the profile strip on the edge of the glass plate is hardly avoidable that the adhesive enters the outside and contaminates the exposed surface of the glass plate. If impurities occur, these must be eliminated with a correspondingly high expenditure. Due to the use of the adhesive typically result in irregular edge terminations, which are to be avoided, in particular for aesthetic reasons. Furthermore, it is not only important to ensure that an adhesive bead with a uniform cross-section is introduced into the channel, but also that it runs as centrally as possible within the channel, which is hardly feasible in practice.

Furthermore, the profile strip after bonding with the glass edge to secure until the adhesive has cured. Furthermore, the edge of the glass plate within the channel of the profile strip is to be positioned by auxiliary means, so that the glass plate is held in a desired position and can not get into direct contact with the metal profile element.

Furthermore, it is hardly avoidable that the profiled strips are easily positioned differently from separating element to separating element, in particular adopting different layers to the front side of the glass plate. In addition, profile elements can take an undesirable inclination relative to the glass plate or extend transversely within the channel. These mispositioning is particularly disadvantageous if further profile elements or covers are mounted or if adjacent separating elements are provided, the profile elements are mounted differently. In such cases, the device parts are not aligned in a plane and / or parallel to a straight line, which leaves an unfavorable aesthetic impression in multi-part glass fronts.

From [2], US 6'0520867, a device for connecting a glass plate to a guided in a rail guide device is also known. For this purpose, a first and a second fastening part are provided, which protrude into a cutout in the glass plate and are connected via a connecting screw with the guide device. This type of connection of the glass plate with the guide device requires a relatively complex processing of the glass plate. Furthermore, the said fasteners protrude into the glass plate and may be perceived as disturbing.

The present invention is therefore based on the object to provide an improved connection device for plate-shaped separating elements, in particular glass plates, which is not associated with the disadvantages described.

In particular, a connection device comprising at least one profiled strip is to be provided which can be installed quickly and easily and ensures always precise positioning of the glass plate within the profiled strip. In addition, it should be ensured that even with different thicknesses of the glass plate, the distance between one side of the glass plate to the profile element is always the same. Furthermore, should be excluded by the connecting device, a direct contact between the metal profile strip and the glass plate.

When using the connecting device also post-processing, such as cleaning or sealing work should be avoided.

Furthermore, a fixed or displaceably mounted separating element is provided, which is provided with at least one such connecting device.

By the connecting device, it should also be advantageously possible that separating element with other devices or device parts, in particular with a handle and / or to connect at the bottom and / or the top, with a guide device and thereby displaceably support the separating element.

This object is achieved with a connecting device and with a separating element, which have the features specified in claim 1 or 12 features. Advantageous embodiments of the invention are specified in further claims.

The connecting device, which is provided for a separating element with a plate, in particular a glass plate, comprises at least one profiled strip, which has a back element and a first and a second side member defining a groove within which the edge of the plate held by means of an adhesive becomes.

According to the invention, the profiled strip has an anchor channel which is connected to the channel by a passage slot, within which a separating profile provided with window openings through which the inserted adhesive can penetrate into the anchor channel, with a central part the back element and with a first and a second side part separates the first and second side element of the profile strip from the plate.

Due to the separation profile, the profile strip is therefore reliably separated from the glass plate. It is prevented that the metal profile strip, preferably an extruded aluminum profile, can come into contact with the glass plate and damage it.

The applied in the gutter or the front side on the edge of the glass plate adhesive bead, such as a silicone adhesive sealant, can be evenly distributed during insertion of the glass plate into the gutter, with excess adhesive displaced into the anchor channel and is evenly distributed there. In places with excess adhesive this is therefore in the Anchor channel inside and not pressed outwards over the glass plate.

After curing, the adhesive enclosed in the anchor channel adhesive is held there form-fitting, so that a detachment of the adhesive from the inner profile of the profile strip is prevented even under heavy loads. For this purpose it is provided that the anchor channel has a larger diameter than the passage slot, so that e.g. a T-profile is formed.

Already through the separation profile, a good connection between the glass plate and the profile strip can be achieved. The connection of the separating profile with the inner profile of the profile strip can be made positive or non-positive. Preferably, each of the side elements of the profile strip has at least one anchoring groove which is open against the channel and in particular serves to receive a preferably provided anchoring element, which is provided on the side of the separating profile facing the profile strip. If anchoring elements are provided on the dividing profile and introduced into the associated anchoring groove in the profiled strip, the dividing profile will be sufficiently maintained during installation inside the groove even if the adhesive has not yet hardened. By using the inventive separation profile of the installation process is therefore significantly easier.

Additionally or alternatively, armature slots can also serve to receive adhesive, which is held in a form-fitting manner after curing by the armature channel and the armature slots. For example, serve a first anchoring the inclusion of an anchor element of the separation profile and a second anchoring the inclusion of adhesive. In preferred embodiments, the separating profile has additional openings through which the adhesive can be pressed, for example, into an anchoring groove. In this way, it is ensured that the release profile is held in a form-fitting manner at several points by the cured adhesive.

The dividing profile is preferably produced by means of an extrusion process of elastic or inelastic plastic. In this case, the separating profile can already be brought into a form which is adapted to the groove provided in the profile strip. The separating profile can therefore already have a U or C profile after production.

Preferably, however, the separating profile is made as an elastic strip, which is brought by the user in the final shape. This happens when inserting the separating profile in the channel by the side parts of the separating profile against the central part are folded by 90 ° against each other. In order for this to be possible and not to result in any further deformations of the separating profile, the two side parts are made in one piece by hinge zones, e.g. Film hinges with reduced diameter, connected to the middle part. The strip-shaped separating profile can therefore be stored in layers or wound up on rolls.

In a preferred embodiment, at least one of the side parts of the separating profile is provided on the side facing the channel or plate with at least one lamella or with at least one sealing rib. Preferably, a sealing rib is arranged on the first side part and the at least one lamella on the second side part. Alternatively, either slats or sealing ribs may be provided on both side parts.

The lamellae or sealing lips, of which, for example, three pieces are guided in parallel along the dividing profile, on the one hand serve as sealing elements which prevent the adhesive from leaving the trough. On the other hand, the slats press against the glass plate, whereby this is positioned. If slats are provided on both side elements, the glass plate is centered within the channel. However, if only the first side element is provided with lamellae, the glass plate is against the second Pressed side member on which preferably a sealing rib is provided. As a result, the voltage applied to the sealing rib side of the glass plate is always the same regardless of the diameter of the glass plate, which is why it is always guaranteed even with different diameters of the glass plates that the device parts are flush with each other and no aesthetically or functionally disturbing projections occur.

The window openings provided in the separating profile at least partially cover the middle part or also partially the side parts. This ensures that a large proportion of the adhesive is pressed by the glass plate directly against the profile strip and there may optionally penetrate into the anchor channel additionally in Ankernuten.

The profile strip has an inner profile adapted to the separating profile and an outer profile which can be connected to an auxiliary profile, such as a grab handle or a further frame element, and / or to a guiding device. For example, the connection device is connected via a coupling device to a guided in a rail drive. The drive can slide or roll within the track or guide rail.

The outer profile of the profile strip can be completely covered by the auxiliary profile or by the coupling device. Alternatively, the outer profile may have at least one mounting groove or a retaining groove into which the auxiliary profile or the coupling device can engage in a form-fitting manner. Furthermore, alternative mounting options can be realized.

By means of the connecting device according to the invention, it is therefore possible to hold glass plates securely on a relatively narrow edge on the upper side and / or lower side of a glass plate and to connect them to conventional guiding devices.

Instead of mounting elements that protrude relatively far into the glass plate, instead narrow profile strips are used, which hardly appear visually. It is particularly advantageous that a processing of the glass plate, with the introduction of holes and recesses, completely eliminated. The connecting elements can be configured as desired and connected in any way with the profile strip and locked.

By means of the inventive profile strips, the glass plate can be completely framed. It is also possible that profile strips are provided only on one side or on opposite sides. The mounting of the connecting device on the sides of the glass plate is done, for example, to protect the glass plate.

The ends of the profile strips are preferably provided with end parts which have an opening for receiving a corner of the glass plate. For attachment, the end parts preferably have a screw channel into which a mounting screw can be inserted. The mounting screw is preferably received by the anchor channel, which has a plurality of thread ribs, between which the mounting screw can be screwed.

The termination part is preferably connectable to two profile strips. Alternatively, the end part can only be connected to a profile strip and adapted to a perpendicular extending cover profile and hold this if necessary. It is preferably provided that all device parts are flush with each other, so that irregular projections that occur disturbing in appearance are avoided.

a slidably mounted separating element 1000 with a glass plate 4 (shown inclined), on whose upper side a connecting device 100 according to the invention is mounted with a profiled strip 2, which has a holding groove 212 within which a connecting element 71 connected to a drive 61 is held.

FIG. 1 shows a connecting device 100 according to the invention, which comprises a profiled strip 2 and a separating profile 1, which are connected by means of an adhesive 3 to the glass plate 4.

The profile strip 2, the tail in FIG. 1a shows enlarged, comprises a back member 21 and a first and a second side member 22, 23 which form an inner profile 20 and an outer profile 200 which extend over the entire length of the profiled strip 2. The inner profile comprises a groove 24 which serves to receive the glass plate 4 and which is connected via a passage slot 2111 to an anchor channel 211 which is incorporated in the back element 21. Each of the side members 22, 23 has an anchoring groove 221, 231 opened against the channel 24, which serves to hold the separating profile 1 introduced into the channel 24.

The outer profile 200 of the profiled strip 2 has on the side members 22, 23 depending on a mounting groove 222 and 232, which serve the assembly of auxiliary profiles 70, such as handles, covers, panels, other frames, mounting elements, or coupling devices 71 (see FIGS. 7 and 8 ). The outer profile 200 can be configured as desired.

Furthermore, the profile strip 2 in this preferred embodiment, a profile arm 25 with a sealing groove 251st on which serves to receive a plastic seal or brush seal.

With regard to the connection of the profiled strip 2 with the glass plate 4, however, the inner profile 20 of the profiled strip 2 and the dividing profile 1 are important, by which the profiled strip 2 is reliably separated from the glass plate 4.

The separation profile 1, in the Figures 1, 1b and 3a-c is shown in a first preferred embodiment is, for example, as a plastic strip, which can be manufactured inexpensively by means of an extrusion process.

The illustrated separation profile 1, the in FIG. 1b is shown enlarged, has a central part 11, which is separated by hinge zones, in this embodiment by film hinges with a thinner layer diameter of a first and a second side part 12, 13. The side parts 12, 13 can be folded upwards by 90 °, as shown in FIG FIG. 3a is shown.

The differently designed side parts 12, 13 of the separation profile of Figur3a have on the profile strip 2 side facing each an anchor element 121, 131, which engage in associated Ankernuten 221, 231 in the profile strip 2 and hold the separation profile 1 within the groove 24 positively. In addition, the anchoring elements 121, 131 prevent the adhesive 3 from emerging from the channel 24 along the side elements 22, 23.

The first side part 12 has on the side facing the channel 24 also a sealing rib 16, which rests after mounting on the glass plate 4 and prevents the adhesive 3 can escape from the channel 24 on this side. The second side part 13 has on the channel 24 side facing three fins 15, which also prevent the exit of the adhesive 3 from the channel 24 and at the same time the held glass plate 4 against the other side of the channel 24 at Press the sealing rib 16 as shown in FIG FIG. 2a is shown.

In FIG. 1 It is further shown that the separation profile 1 is provided with regularly arranged, rectangular window openings 14 which pass through the middle part 11 of the separating profile 1 transversely and project into the side parts 12, 13. The distances between the window openings 14 correspond approximately to the width of a window openings 14. The window openings 14 are for the inventive connecting device 100 is essential because the applied adhesive bead 3 pass through them and can connect with the profiled strip 2.

1. a) das Trennprofil 1 in die Rinne 24 der Profilleiste 2 eingelegt,
2. b) eine Klebstoffraupe 3 entweder innerhalb der Rinne 24 auf das Trennprofil 1 oder zuvor auf die Stirnseite der Glasplatte 4 aufgetragen,
3. c) die Glasplatte 4 randseitig in die Rinne 24 eingeführt,
   und
4. d) die Profilleiste 2 gegen das Trennprofil 1 gepresst wird, wie dies in Figur 2 gezeigt ist.

The connecting device 100 according to the invention can be mounted extremely simply by preferably

1. a) the separating profile 1 is inserted into the channel 24 of the profiled strip 2,
2. b) an adhesive bead 3 applied either within the channel 24 on the separating profile 1 or previously on the front side of the glass plate 4,
3. c) the glass plate 4 is inserted at the edge into the channel 24,
   and
4. d) the profiled strip 2 is pressed against the dividing profile 1, as shown in FIG FIG. 2 is shown.

By pressing the profiled strip 2, the adhesive 3 penetrates, on the one hand, along the edge of the glass plate 4 as far as the fins 15 and the sealing rib 16. On the other hand, the adhesive 3 passes through the window openings 14 into direct contact with the profiled strip 2 and is partially displaced by the passage slot 2111 in the anchor channel 211, as in FIG. 2a is shown. This results in two advantages. On the one hand escapes excess Glue 3 from the channel 24 only in the anchor channel 211 and not along the glass plate 4 forward. An excessive pressure within the channel 24, which could affect the sealing rib 16 or the fins 15, is avoided. On the other hand, the adhesive 3 is held in a form-fitting manner after its curing in the anchor channel 211, so that the adhesive 3 can no longer detach from the profiled strip 2 under load.
