Description

Die Erfindung betrifft ein Fenster, entsprechend dem Oberbegriff des unabhängigen Patentanspruchs 1.The invention relates to a window, according to the preamble of independent claim 1.

Demgemäß handelt es sich um ein Fenster mit einem Flügelrahmen und einem Blendrahmen, wobei der Flügelrahmen in einem geschlossenen Zustand des Fensters in Fluidverbindung mit dem Blendrahmen steht und an der Unterseite des Blendrahmens eine Entwässerungsöffnung zum Abführen von im Rahmen befindlichem Wasser vorgesehen ist.Accordingly, it is a window with a sash and a frame, wherein the sash is in a closed state of the window in fluid communication with the frame and on the underside of the frame, a drainage opening for discharging in-frame water is provided.

Mit der Verbesserung der Luftdichtigkeit von Gebäuden, der Entwicklung neuer Fenster und einer verbesserten Außenwandung geht auch eine Reduzierung der Luftwechselraten in Gebäuden einher. Aus diesem Grund ist eine Abführung von Kondenswasser über Entwässerungsvorrichtungen in Fenstern und Türen unerlässlich. Darüber hinaus lässt es sich trotz der in Fenster und Türen vorgesehenen Dichtungsprofile nicht vermeiden, dass Regenwasser oder Kondenswasser am Dichtungsprofil vorbei eindringt und aus dem Zwischenbereich der Verglasung herausgeführt werden muss. Selbstverständlich muss die Entwässerung dabei derart ausgeführt werden, dass das abzuführende Kondenswasser in Richtung der Außenseite des Fensters beziehungsweise der Tür abgeleitet wird.Improving the airtightness of buildings, developing new windows, and improving the exterior wall is also accompanied by a reduction in indoor air exchange rates. For this reason drainage of condensation water via drainage devices in windows and doors is essential. In addition, despite the sealing profiles provided in the windows and doors, it is unavoidable that rainwater or condensation water penetrates past the sealing profile and has to be led out of the intermediate area of the glazing. Of course, the drainage must be carried out in such a way that the condensate to be discharged is discharged in the direction of the outside of the window or the door.

Die aus dem Stand der Technik bekannten Entwässerungsvorrichtungen stellen häufig lediglich Schlitze oder Bohrungen im Rahmenprofil von Fenstern und Türen dar. Diese Schlitze oder Bohrungen befinden sich in der Regel an der Unterseite der Rahmenprofile und bilden eine Schnittstelle zur Außenseite des Fensters. Um Wasserablagerungen über die Entwässerungsöffnung aus dem Rahmenprofil abführen zu können, ist es jedoch erforderlich eine zweite Öffnung im Rahmenprofil anzubringen. Diese zweite Öffnung (auch als "Entlüftungsöffnung" bezeichnet) dient dazu, bei der Abfuhr von Kondenswasser aus dem Rahmenprofil, einen Druckausgleich zu ermöglichen. Die Entlüftungsöffnungen werden vorzugsweise im oberen Teil des Blendrahmens angebracht. Ein Fenster mit einer zweiten Öffnung im Rahmenprofil ist beispielsweise aus der GB 1 295 535 A bekannt, welche einen Gegenstand gemäß dem Oberbegriff des Anspruchs 1 beschreibt. Bei den aus dem Stand der Technik bekannten Entwässerungsvorrichtungen ist es nachteilig, dass durch das Anbringen einer separaten Entlüftungsöffnung die Wärmeisolation des Rahmenprofils verringert wird. Weiterhin ist es möglich, dass bei starkem Windgang das abzuleitende Wasser durch den Luftstrom ins Rahmenprofil hineingedrückt wird. Dessen ungeachtet ist es bei der aus dem Stand der Technik bekannten Entlüftungsöffnung nicht möglich für eine schnelle Entwässerung zu sorgen. Dies ist vor allem dann als problematisch anzusehen, wenn eine direkte Durchgangsverbindung zwischen der außenseitigen und der innenseitigen Profilkammer des Rahmenprofils besteht. Eine direkte Durchgangsverbindung kommt häufig bei Rahmenprofilen in Leichtbauweise vor, da diese möglichst wenige Strukturelemente im Inneren des Rahmenprofils aufweisen. So wird beispielsweise auf zusätzliche Dichtungselemente im Innenraum der Flügel- oder Blendrahmenprofile verzichtet und somit eine direkte Durchgangsverbindung zwischen der außenseitigen und der innenseitigen Profilkammer geschaffen. Diese Durchgangsverbindung kann dazu beitragen, dass das Wasser nicht - wie gewohnt - außenseitig sondern raumseitig abläuft.The known from the prior art drainage devices often represent only slots or holes in the frame profile of windows and doors. These slots or holes are usually located on the underside of the frame profiles and form an interface to the outside of the window. In order to remove water deposits on the drainage opening from the frame profile, however, it is necessary to attach a second opening in the frame profile. This second opening (also referred to as "vent") is used to allow for the removal of condensation from the frame profile, a pressure equalization. The vents are preferably mounted in the upper part of the frame. A window with a second opening in the frame profile is for example from the GB 1 295 535 A known, which describes an article according to the preamble of claim 1. In the case of the dewatering devices known from the prior art, it is disadvantageous that the thermal insulation of the frame profile is reduced by the provision of a separate vent opening. Furthermore, it is possible that in strong wind the water to be discharged is forced by the air flow in the frame profile. Nevertheless, it is not possible with the known from the prior art vent opening to ensure rapid drainage. This is especially problematic if there is a direct passage connection between the outside and the inside profile chamber of the frame profile. A direct through connection often occurs in frame profiles in lightweight construction, since they have as few structural elements in the interior of the frame profile. Thus, for example, to dispense with additional sealing elements in the interior of the sash or frame profiles and thus created a direct passage connection between the outside and the inside profile chamber. This through-connection can contribute to the fact that the water does not - as usual - on the outside but on the room side.

Aus der geschilderten Problemstellung hervorgehend liegt der vorliegenden Erfindung die Aufgabe zugrunde, ein Fenster anzugeben, bei welchem die zuvor genannten Nachteile nicht auftreten. Dementsprechend ist es Aufgabe der Erfindung, ein Fenster mit einer Entwässerungsöffnung zu konstruieren, welches eine schnelles Abführen von Kondenswasser ermöglicht und einfach zu implementieren ist.From the problem described above, the present invention seeks to provide a window in which the aforementioned disadvantages do not occur. Accordingly, it is an object of the invention to construct a window with a drainage opening, which allows a quick discharge of condensed water and is easy to implement.

Das der vorliegenden Erfindung zugrunde liegende technische Problem wird durch ein Fenster gemäß dem unabhängigen Patentanspruch 1 gelöst.The technical problem underlying the present invention is achieved by a window according to independent claim 1.

Dementsprechend zeichnet sich das erfindungsgemäße Fenster dadurch aus, dass die Entwässerungsöffnung einen ersten Bereich zum Ablauf von im Rahmen befindlichem Wasser, sowie einen zweiten Bereich zum Druckausgleich aufweist.Accordingly, the window according to the invention is characterized in that the drainage opening has a first area for the outlet of water in the frame, and a second area for pressure compensation.

Ein Vorteil der erfindungsgemäßen Vorrichtung ist die schnelle Abführbarkeit von Wasserablagerungen im Inneren des Rahmenprofils. Darüber hinaus ist es nicht nötig, eine separate Entlüftungsöffnung vorzusehen, was die Isolationseigenschaften des Fensters bzw. der Tür erhöht. Durch weniger Bohrungen an der Außenseite der Rahmenkonstruktion, ergibt sich ein ästhetischeres Gesamterscheinungsbild der außenseitigen Front des Fensters. Über dem zweiten Bereich der Entwässerungsöffnung ist ein Schachtelement vorgesehen, welches dazu ausgelegt ist, den zweiten Bereich der Entwässerungsöffnung, zur Abschirmung gegen das im Rahmen befindliche Wasser, zumindest teilweise zu umgeben. Durch das Vorsehen eines Schachtelements ergibt sich ein Höhenversatz zwischen den beiden Bereichen der Entwässerungsöffnung. Mit anderen Worten liegt die Öffnung des zweiten Bereichs auf einem höheren Niveau als die Öffnung des ersten Bereiches. Demnach ist es selbst bei einer Ansammlung von Kondenswasser im Bereich der Entwässerungsöffnung ausgeschlossen, dass der zweite Bereich der Entwässerungsöffnung (d.h. die Entlüftungsöffnung) von besagtem Kondenswasser überdeckt ist. Folglich ist es auch bei größeren Wasserablagerungen jederzeit möglich, für einen Druckausgleich über den zweiten Bereich der Entwässerungsöffnung zu sorgen, um einen Ablauf von Kondenswasser zu ermöglichen.An advantage of the device according to the invention is the rapid drainability of water deposits in the interior of the frame profile. In addition, it is not necessary to provide a separate vent, which increases the insulating properties of the window or the door. Less drilling on the outside of the frame construction results in a more aesthetic overall appearance of the outside front of the window. Above the second region of the drainage opening, a shaft element is provided, which is designed to at least partially surround the second region of the drainage opening, for shielding against the water in the frame. The provision of a shaft element results in a height offset between the two areas of the drainage opening. In other words, the opening of the second area is at a higher level than the opening of the first area. Thus, even with accumulation of condensation in the drainage hole, it is impossible for the second portion of the drainage hole (i.e., the vent hole) to be covered by said condensation water. Consequently, it is always possible to provide pressure equalization over the second region of the drainage opening, even in the case of larger water deposits, in order to allow drainage of condensed water.

Bevorzugte Weiterbildungen der erfindungsgemäßen Vorrichtung sind in den Unteransprüchen angegeben.Preferred developments of the device according to the invention are specified in the subclaims.

Nach einer vorteilhaften Ausführungsform des erfindungsgemäßen Fensters weist das Schachtelement eine quaderförmige, in horizontaler Richtung geöffnete Struktur auf. Ein so konstruiertes Schachtelement bietet den Vorteil der einfachen Herstellung und lässt sich darüber hinaus, z. B. im Falle einer Verstopfung, sehr einfach reinigen. Das quaderförmige Schachtelement kann dabei auf den zweiten Bereich der Entwässerungsöffnung aufgeklebt oder angeschraubt werden. Selbstverständlich ist es auch möglich, das Schachtelement zusammen mit dem Rahmenprofil aus einem Stück zu fertigen.According to an advantageous embodiment of the window according to the invention, the shaft element has a cuboid, open in the horizontal direction structure. Such a constructed shaft element offers the advantage of ease of manufacture and can be in addition, z. B. in the case of constipation, very easy to clean. The cuboidal shaft element can be glued or screwed onto the second region of the drainage opening. Of course, it is also possible to manufacture the shaft element together with the frame profile from one piece.

In einer weiteren Realisierung des erfindungsgemäßen Fensters, ist das Schachtelement dazu ausgelegt, den zweiten Bereich der Entwässerungsöffnung gegenüber dem ersten Bereich um mindestens 5 mm in vertikaler Richtung zu versetzen. Das Kondenswasser im Hohlraum kann sich demnach bis zu einer maximalen Höhe von 5 mm stauen, bevor das Schachtelement und damit der zweite Bereich bedeckt wird. Diese Höhe ist besonders vorteilhaft, da sie der Höhe der Glasaufnahmeleiste gängiger Rahmenkonstruktionen entspricht.In a further realization of the window according to the invention, the shaft element is designed to offset the second region of the drainage opening in the vertical direction by at least 5 mm relative to the first region. The condensation in the cavity can thus accumulate up to a maximum height of 5 mm, before the shaft element and thus the second area is covered. This height is particularly advantageous because it corresponds to the height of the glass receiving bar common frame structures.

In einer vorteilhaften Weiterentwicklung weist das Schachtelement weiterhin eine Endkappe auf, welche an der Oberseite des Schachtelements angebracht und dazu ausgelegt ist, ein Verstopfen des zweiten Bereichs der Entwässerungsöffnung durch herabtropfendes Kondenswasser zu vermeiden. Eine derartige Endkappe ist dazu vorgesehen, die Öffnungsrichtung des Schachtelements von der vertikalen Ebene in die horizontale Ebene zu transformieren. Demnach ist es nicht möglich, dass das Kondenswasser, welches in der vertikalen Ebene herabfließt, den zweiten Bereich der Entwässerungsöffnung bedeckt und damit einen Druckausgleich verhindert. In anderen Worten schützt die Schutzkappe das Schachtelement vor herabtropfendem Kondenswasser. Alternativ ist es jedoch auch denkbar, dass die Schutzkappe einteilig mit dem Schachtelelement ausgeführt ist.In an advantageous further development, the shaft element further comprises an end cap which is attached to the top of the shaft element and designed to prevent clogging of the second region of the drainage opening by dripping condensation water. Such an end cap is intended to transform the opening direction of the manhole element from the vertical plane to the horizontal plane. Accordingly, it is not possible that the condensation, which flows down in the vertical plane, covering the second region of the drainage opening and thus prevents pressure equalization. In other words, the protective cap protects the shaft element from dripping condensation water. Alternatively, however, it is also conceivable that the protective cap is made in one piece with the box element.

In einer besonders vorteilhaften Umsetzung des erfindungsgemäßen Fensters weist das Fenster außenseitig einen Schichtschutz auf, welcher dazu ausgelegt ist, die Entwässerungsöffnung zu überdecken. Da Entwässerungsöffnungen zwangsläufig außenseitig am Rahmenprofil angebracht sein müssen, ist es aus ästhetischen Gründen vorteilhaft die Bohrung bzw. den Schlitz der Entwässerungsöffnung mit einem Schichtschutz auszustatten. Ein solcher Sichtschutz kann entweder einteilig mit dem Blendrahmen ausgeführt sein oder eine Verschlusskappe, welche nachträglich auf den Blendrahmen aufgesetzt werden kann, darstellen. Dieser Sichtschutz verdeckt die Entwässerungsöffnung und bietet darüber hinaus Schutz vor Windeinfall von der Außenseite des Fensters.In a particularly advantageous implementation of the window according to the invention, the window on the outside on a layer protection, which is designed to cover the drainage opening. Since drainage holes must necessarily be mounted on the outside of the frame profile, it is advantageous for aesthetic reasons To equip the hole or the slot of the drainage hole with a layer protection. Such a screen can either be made in one piece with the frame or a cap, which can be subsequently placed on the frame, represent. This screen conceals the drainage opening and also provides protection against wind from the outside of the window.

Nachfolgend wird unter Bezugnahme auf die Darstellungen in den beiliegenden Zeichnungen eine Entwässerungsvorrichtung für Fenster und Türen näher beschrieben. In den beiliegenden Zeichnungen sind gleiche oder gleich wirkende Bauteile mit gleichen Bezugszeichen versehen.Hereinafter, a drainage device for windows and doors will be described in detail with reference to the drawings in the accompanying drawings. In the accompanying drawings, identical or equivalent components are provided with the same reference numerals.

Ein aus dem Stand der Technik bekanntes Fenster 1 einer Entwässerungsöffnung 4 ist in Fig. 1 dargestellt. Gezeigt wird ein Querschnitt durch das Fenster 1, in welchem ein Schnitt durch Rahmenprofil eines Flügelrahmens 2 und das Rahmenprofil eines Blendrahmens 3 zu erkennen ist. Der Flügelrahmen 2 ist mit der Fensterglasscheibe 10 verbunden, während der Blendrahmen 3 an einer nicht explizit dargestellten Hausfassade angebracht ist. Der Blendrahmen sowie auch der Flügelrahmen weißen jeweils innenseitige sowie außenseitige Profilkammern auf, welche durch die Isolierstege 11a, 11b miteinander verbunden sind unterbrochen, um die Isolationseigenschaften des Rahmenprofils zu erhöhen. In der geschlossenen Stellung des Fensters, befinden sich an den Kontaktpunkten zwischen Flügelrahmen 2 und Blendrahmen 3 Dichtungen 7a, 7b, welche dazu dienen die Luftdichtigkeit der Fenster zu erhöhen. Im Zwischenraum zwischen Flügelrahmen 2 und Blendrahmen 3 ist im geschlossenen Zustand des Fensters ein gemeinsamer Hohlraum 6 ausgebildet, in welchem Kondenswasser, das sich im Rahmenprofil oder zwischen den Fensterglasscheiben 10 sammelt, in Richtung der Entwässerungsöffnung 4 ablaufen kann.A well-known from the prior art window 1 a drainage opening 4 is in Fig. 1 shown. Shown is a cross section through the window 1, in which a section through the frame profile of a casement 2 and the frame profile of a window frame 3 can be seen. The sash 2 is connected to the window glass 10, while the frame 3 is attached to a not explicitly shown house facade. The frame as well as the wing frame white respectively on the inside and outside profile chambers, which are interconnected by the insulating webs 11a, 11b interrupted to increase the insulating properties of the frame profile. In the closed position of the window, located at the contact points between sash 2 and frame 3 seals 7a, 7b, which serve to increase the air-tightness of the windows. In the space between casement 2 and frame 3, a common cavity 6 is formed in the closed state of the window, in which condensation, which collects in the frame profile or between the window glass panes 10, can proceed in the direction of the drainage opening 4.

Mit Bezug auf die Entwässerungsöffnung 4 ist in Fig. 1 an der Unterseite des Blendrahmens, im unteren Rahmenteil, eine Bohrung bzw. ein Schlitz dargestellt. Durch eine derart konstruierte Entwässerungsöffnung 4 kann aus dem Rahmenprofil abzuführendes Kondenswasser in der Vertikalen ablaufen.With respect to the drainage opening 4 is in Fig. 1 at the bottom of the frame, in the lower frame part, a hole or a slot shown. Through a drainage opening 4 constructed in this way, condensate water to be discharged from the frame profile can run off in the vertical direction.

Um ein Abführen von Kondenswasser aus der Entwässerungsöffnung 4 zu ermöglichen, muss im Rahmenprofil eine Entlüftungsöffnung 5 vorgesehen sein. Eine solche Entlüftungsöffnung 5 dient dazu, beim Ablassen des Kondenswassers durch die Entwässerungsöffnung 4, einen Druckausgleich im Innenraum des Rahmenprofils herzustellen. Wie in Fig. 1 dargestellt, ist es aus dem Stand der Technik bekannt, die Entlüftungsöffnung 5 im oberen Teil des Blendrahmenprofils 3 vorzusehen. Dabei ist es beispielsweise üblich, dass die Entlüftungsöffnung 5 durch das Entfernen einer Dichtung 7a, am oberen Teil des Blendrahmenprofils 3 realisiert wird. Selbstverständlich ist eine solche Lösung nur dann möglich, wenn der obere Rahmenteil fluidleitend mit dem unteren Rahmenteil verbunden ist. Das heißt bei dieser Ausführungsform ist es nicht möglich das Rahmenprofil durch weitere Isolationsstege, beispielsweise in den Eckbereichen des Fensters, zu unterbrechen.In order to allow a discharge of condensed water from the drainage opening 4, a vent opening 5 must be provided in the frame profile. Such a vent opening 5 serves to produce a pressure equalization in the interior of the frame profile when draining the condensate through the drainage opening 4. As in Fig. 1 shown, it is known from the prior art to provide the vent 5 in the upper part of the frame profile 3. It is customary, for example, that the vent opening 5 is realized by removing a seal 7 a, at the upper part of the frame profile 3. Of course, such a solution is only possible if the upper frame part is fluid-conductively connected to the lower frame part. That is, in this embodiment, it is not possible to interrupt the frame profile by further isolation webs, for example in the corner regions of the window.

Bei dem erfindungsgemäßen Fenster ist es nicht nötig eine Entlüftungsöffnung 5 im oberen Teil des Blendrahmenprofils 3 vorzusehen. Wie in Fig. 2a dargestellt, beschränkt sich die Entwässerungsöffnung 104 des erfindungsgemäßen Fensters 100 ausschließlich auf den unteren Rahmenteil 3. Im einzelnen weist die Entwässerungsöffnung 104 einen ersten Bereich 104.I zum Ablauf von Kondenswasser sowie einen zweiten Bereich 104.II zum Druckausgleich auf. Bei diesen beiden Bereichen 104.I, 104.II kann es sich beispielsweise um zwei parallele Schlitze bzw. Langlöcher handeln, welche entlang des unteren Teils des Blendrahmenprofils 3 angeordnet sind. Die Entwässerungsöffnung 104 ist also in zwei Teile unterbrochen, von denen der erste Bereich 104.I einen Weg für den Ablauf des Wassers bildet, während ein zweiter Bereich 104.II als Entlüftungsöffnung dient.In the window according to the invention, it is not necessary to provide a vent opening 5 in the upper part of the frame profile 3. As in Fig. 2a shown, the drainage opening 104 of the window 100 according to the invention is limited exclusively to the lower frame part 3. In detail, the drainage opening 104 has a first portion 104.I for the discharge of condensed water and a second area 104.II for pressure equalization. These two areas 104.I, 104.II may, for example, be two parallel slots or elongated holes which are arranged along the lower part of the window frame profile 3. The drainage opening 104 is therefore interrupted in two parts, of which the first area 104.I forms a path for the drainage of the water, while a second area 104.II serves as a vent opening.

Um zu verhindern das der zweite Bereich 104.II mit Kondenswasser bedeckt wird, weist dieser ein Schachtelement 110a, 110b auf, welches dazu ausgelegt ist, die Öffnung des zweiten Bereichs 104.II gegenüber der Öffnung des ersten Bereichs 104.I in der Höhe zu versetzen. In anderen Worten schirmt das Schachtelement 110a, 110b den zweiten Bereich gegen das im Hohlraum 6 befindliche Kondenswasser ab und garantiert somit, dass jederzeit ein Druckausgleich über den zweiten Bereich 104.II möglich ist.In order to prevent the second area 104.II from being covered by condensation water, it has a shaft element 110a, 110b which is designed to increase the height of the opening of the second area 104.II in relation to the opening of the first area 104.I. offset. In other words, the shaft element 110a, 110b shields the second area against the condensation water in the cavity 6 and thus guarantees that a pressure equalization over the second area 104.II is possible at any time.

Vorteilhafterweise ist das Schachtelement 110a, 110b dabei derart ausgelegt, dass es den zweiten Bereich 104.II gegenüber dem ersten Bereich 104.I um mindestens 5 mm versetzt. Das heißt, dass sich das Kondenswasser im Hohlraum 6 bis zu einer maximalen Höhe von 5 mm stauen kann, bevor das Schachtelement 110a, 110b und damit der zweite Bereich 104.II bedeckt werden. Selbstverständlich ist es möglich die Höhe des Schachtelements 110a, 110b im Rahmen der Profilausmessungen beliebig zu gestalten und somit auf ein anwendungsgemäßes maximales Kondenswasserniveau anzupassen. Die oben erwähnten 5 mm Versatz entsprechen dabei beispielsweise der Höhe der Glasaufnahmeleiste.Advantageously, the shaft element 110a, 110b is designed in such a way that it displaces the second region 104.II by at least 5 mm in relation to the first region 104.I. That is, the condensed water may accumulate in the cavity 6 to a maximum height of 5 mm before covering the well element 110a, 110b and thus the second region 104.II. Of course, it is possible to make the height of the shaft element 110a, 110b as desired in the context of the profile dimensions and thus to adapt it to an application-specific maximum condensate level. The above-mentioned 5 mm offset correspond, for example, the height of the glass receiving strip.

In einer ersten Ausführungsform, wie in Fig. 3a dargestellt, weist das Schachtelement 110a eine quaderförmige, in horizontaler Richtung geöffnete Struktur auf. Wie in der Figur 2a schematisch dargestellt ist, überdeckt die in Figur 3a angedeutete Bodenöffnung 111 den gesamten Öffnungsbereich des zweiten Bereiches 104.II der Entwäserungsöffnung 104 und schirmt diesen bis auf die Höhe der Kopföffnung 112 gegen das Kondenswasser ab.In a first embodiment, as in Fig. 3a illustrated, the shaft member 110a has a cuboid, open in the horizontal direction structure. Like in the FIG. 2a is shown schematically, covers the in FIG. 3a indicated bottom opening 111 the entire opening area of the second portion 104.II the Entwäsungsungsöffnung 104 and shields this up to the height of the head opening 112 against the condensation.

Eine Weiterbildung des Schachtelements 110b ist in der Fig. 3b dargestellt. Das Schachtelement 110b weist dabei, im Gegensatz zum Schachtelement 110a, eine Schutzkappe 113 auf, welche den zweiten Bereich 104.II vor herablaufendem Kondenswasser schützt. Die Schutzkappe 113 ist an der Oberseite des Schachtelements 110b angebracht. Der Ausgleichsluftstrom wird durch das Schachtelement 110b von einer vertikalen Strömungsrichtung in eine horizontale Strömungsrichtung umgelenkt und verlässt das Schachtelement 110b über die Seitenöffnung 114. Vorteilshafterweise ist auch bei dieser Ausführungsform die Seitenöffnung 114 auf einer Höhe von 5 mm angebracht.A development of the shaft element 110b is in the Fig. 3b shown. In this case, in contrast to the shaft element 110a, the shaft element 110b has a protective cap 113 which protects the second region 104.II from condensation water that runs down therefrom. The protective cap 113 is attached to the top of the well element 110b. The equalizing air flow is deflected by the shaft member 110b from a vertical flow direction in a horizontal flow direction and leaves the shaft member 110b via the side port 114. Advantageously, also in this embodiment, the side port 114 is mounted at a height of 5 mm.

Aus ästhetischen Gründen kann, wie in Fig. 2a und 2b dargestellt ist, ein Sichtschutz 120 vorgesehen sein. Der Sichtschutz 120 ist dabei an der Außenseite des Fensters angebracht und dient dazu die Entwässerungsöffnung 104 abzudecken. Insbesondere kann der Sichtschutz 120 als ein Teil des Blend- oder Flügelrahmens 2, 3 ausgeführt sein. Alternativ ist es denkbar, dass der Sichtschutz 120 ein separates Bauteil darstellt, welches bei Bedarf am Blendrahmen lösbar befestigt werden kann. Ein solcher Sichtschutz 120 kann weiterhin derart ausgestaltet sein, sodass er gleichzeitig als Windschutz fungiert. In diesem Zusammenhang schirmt der Sichtschutz 120, welcher als Windschutz ausgestaltet ist, die Entwässerungsöffnung 104 vor Windstößen ab. Demnach kann verhindert werden, dass das ablaufende Kondenswasser im ersten Bereich 104.I durch den Wind wieder in das Innere des Rahmenprofils zurückgedrückt wird.For aesthetic reasons, as in Fig. 2a and 2 B is shown, a screen 120 may be provided. The privacy 120 is attached to the outside of the window and serves to cover the drainage opening 104. In particular, the privacy screen 120 may be implemented as part of the glare or sash frame 2, 3. Alternatively, it is conceivable that the privacy screen 120 is a separate component, which can be releasably attached to the frame if necessary. Such a screen 120 may further be configured so that it also acts as a windbreak. In this context, the screen 120, which is designed as a windshield, shields the drainage opening 104 from gusts of wind. Accordingly, it can be prevented that the running condensation in the first region 104.I is pushed back by the wind in the interior of the frame profile.

Die Erfindung ist nicht auf die in den Zeichnungen dargestellten und vorstehend beschriebenen Ausführungsformen beschränkt, sondern ergibt sich aus einer Zusammenschau sämtlicher hierin offenbarter Merkmale.The invention is not limited to the embodiments shown in the drawings and described above, but results from a synopsis of all features disclosed herein.
