EP2735688B1 - Window, door or facade element with a sealing profile with integrated light - Google Patents

Description

The present invention relates to a window, a door or a facade element according to the preamble of claim 1.

Such elements are known in the art.

In addition, bulbs of various types and sizes arranged at or near the window constructions to illuminate the panels (e.g., patched lights) are known.

The term "emdelight glass" glass panes are known, which are also referred to as light glass. Here, LED lamps are mounted on the edge of the window, which emit their light by refraction in the glass on the disc surfaces again.

However, the known products are relatively expensive and difficult to assemble. In the known light glass, the disk edges must be processed consuming. Since the load transfer of the glasses / discs also takes place at the edge of the disc, constructive problems arise here. In general, electricians must make connections in the window constructions, so that for the installation of the window constructions and for the surface elements, the participation of professionals from different disciplines is required and therefore the installation of such products is correspondingly expensive.

In addition, in the DE 20 2012 004 705 U1 discloses a fluorescent or phosphorescent sealant, inter alia for windows.

Such a window discloses all the features of the preamble of claim 1.

Furthermore, in the EP 0 755 040 A2 discloses an edge-illuminated light panel for illuminated signs, light tables or similar devices, which at least partially has the light-reflecting, light-transmitting elements in dense distribution, which are applied to a visible surface of the light panel.

The elements are u.a. fluorescent crystals illuminated with a rod-shaped light source fixed to an edge of an acrylic glass plate body. The opposite edge of the plate body has a light-reflecting coating.

The lighting is achieved in the above-described solutions according to the prior art thus by coating or admixtures of light-active substances that absorb light initially and emit spontaneously with appropriate excitation, but do not represent a light source that generates light itself.

The disadvantage of the above-mentioned prior art is therefore u.a. It is based on the fact that the illumination is not specifically controllable for certain areas of a surface element and also sections of different light colors are difficult or impossible to realize.

The invention is therefore based on the object to provide a window, door or facade element, which overcomes the aforementioned disadvantages.

The invention solves the problem by a window, door or facade element according to claim 1.

A particularly advantageous embodiment of the sealing profile according to the invention is obtained when LEDs, in particular SMD LEDs are used as the light source.

The bulbs are so integrally integrated into the sealing profile according to the invention by gluing or form-fitting by a correspondingly pronounced geometry of the sealing profile that they are not visible in the assembled state of the sealing profile and thus protected from environmental influences or from damage.

In principle, a sealing profile according to the invention can advantageously be designed as a plant seal or as a plug-in seal. Likewise advantageously, the arrangement of a sealing profile according to the invention is possible both on the room side and on the outside of a surface element of a building facade. By an advantageous choice of material and an equally advantageous production on the basis of coextrusion or post-coextrusion one or more conductors for power supply of the lighting means or in an inventive sealing profile can be integrated.

In order to further improve the optical properties of a sealing profile according to the invention in a particularly advantageous manner, a gel reservoir may be present in the sealing profile, which bursts during assembly of the sealing profile, so that the gel lays or flows there between the illuminant and the surface element. Thereby, the refractive index jump between air and e.g. reduced or avoided the glass of the surface element. In addition, a sealing profile according to the invention can also have a reflection surface, by which the light of the luminous means is reflected onto the surface element.

Preferably, the one or more bulbs are not arranged or formed as part of the surface element, in particular an insulating glass, so that it is possible to realize a lighting without an insulating glass pane having a light source, as for example from DE 103 22 561 A1 is known.

Further advantageous embodiments of the window, door or facade element can be found in the dependent claims.

Embodiments of a window according to the invention with a sealing profile with integrated lighting means are shown in the drawings and will be described in more detail below.

In Fig. 1 is a basic structure of a window 1, shown here with an outside sealing profile 42 with integrated bulb 43.

Hereinafter, a window 1 will be described for the sake of simplicity. However, this is only to be understood as an example. In principle, the invention can also be used on correspondingly designed doors or facade elements. The window 1 has a frame 2 and a sash 3. The frames 2, 3 are formed from frame profiles 4 or sash profiles 5. For this purpose, the profiles 4, 5 are cut to length according to the requirements and assembled into corresponding frames 2, 3, so that the frames 2, 3 have a closed circumferential contour line from the corresponding frame profiles 4, 5.

The window frame profile 4 in each case has a separate inner shell 6, which is assigned to an interior of a building, and a separate outer shell 7, which as a rule is assigned to the weather-exposed side of a building. The inner shell 6 and the outer shell 7 each have at least one cavity 8, 9, which is in each case crossed by a plurality of struts 10.

The inner shell 6 and the outer shell 7 are each in the in Fig. 1 illustrated example made of a light metal by extrusion. However, the frame profile 4 can in principle also be made of other suitable materials for window profiles-such as plastic or wood-by suitably suitable manufacturing methods-such as extrusion or a machining process.

The inner shell 6 and the outer shell 7 are positively connected to one another by a first insulating strip 11 and preferably by a second insulating strip 12. The first insulating strip 11 and the second insulating strip 12 are preferably made of a plastic material, e.g. produced by extrusion. The first insulating strip 11 and the second insulating strip 12 are each held in two grooves 13, 14, and 15, 16, which are arranged in the inner shell 6 and in the outer shell 7, respectively.

Between the first insulating strip 11 and the second insulating strip 12, a cavity 20 is formed, which has a heat insulation foam profile 21 to improve the thermal insulation properties of the frame profile 4, which is positioned and held by appropriate geometric expression of the first insulating strip 11. With the first insulating strip 11, a seal 19 is connected by a snap connection 22.

Overall, the frame profile 4 here has a basic cross section, which can be described by an "L".

The sash profile 5 also has in each case a separate inner shell 23, which is assigned to an interior of a building, and a separate outer shell 24, which is generally associated with the weather-exposed side of a building. The inner shell 23 and the outer shell 24 each have at least one cavity 25, 26, which is traversed by a plurality of struts 27. The inner shell 23 and the outer shell 24 are each in the in Fig. 1 illustrated example made of a light metal by extrusion. The casement profile 5 can, however, in principle also be made of other suitable materials for window profiles-such as, for example, plastic or wood-by means of suitably suitable production methods, such as, for example, extrusion or a cutting process.

The inner shell 23 and the outer shell 24 are in turn positively connected to one another by a first insulating strip 28 and preferably a second insulating strip 29. The first insulating strip 28 and the second insulating strip 29 are preferably made of a plastic material by, for example, extrusion. The first insulating strip 28 and the second insulating strip 29 are respectively held in two grooves 30, 31, and 32, 33, which are arranged in the inner shell 23 and in the outer shell 24. By joining the inner shell 23, the outer shell 24 and the two insulating strips 28, 29, a glass fold 17 is formed, in which a surface element 18, such as an insulating glass pane with dreischeibigem structure, is held. The second insulating strip 29 also forms a sealing stop 34. Accordingly, a cavity 35 is formed between the first insulating strip 28 and the second insulating strip 29, which has a heat insulation foam profile 36 to improve the thermal insulation properties of the sash profile 5, which is positioned and held by appropriate geometric expression of the second insulating strip 29.

Overall, the casement profile 5 here has a basic cross-section which can be described by a "Z".

The frame profile 4 and the sash profile 5 form a folded space 37 in the closed state of the window 1. Furthermore, the frame profile 4 and the sash profile 5 have a plurality of T-shaped grooves which are respectively arranged in the respective inner shell 6, 23 or outer shell 7, 24 are. The groove 38 in the inner shell 23 of the sash profile 5 receives a seal 39 which seals a gap 40 between the inner shell 23 of the sash profile 5 and the inner shell 6 of the frame profile 4. By this seal 39 of the rebate space 37 is sealed against the room side of the window 1.

A further sealing plane is located in the rebate space 37 between the two heat-insulating foam profiles 21 and 36. The weather-stressed exterior of the window 1 is sealed against the rebate space 37 by the seal 19 and the sealing stop 34.

Another groove 41 in the region of the outer shell 24 of the sash frame profile 5 receives an outside, inventive sealing profile 42 with integrated lighting means 43, with which the outer gap between the surface element 18 and outer shell 24 of the sash profile 5 is sealed. The outside sealing profile 42 with integrated lighting means 43 is designed as a so-called system seal.

In a further groove 44 in the inner shell 23 of the sash profile 5 engages a Glashalteleiste 45, which is a part of the inner shell 23 of the sash profile 5.

The glass retaining strip 45 is provided with a room-side sealing profile 46, which seals the room-side gap between the facade element 18 and glass retaining strip 45. The room-side sealing profile 46 is designed as a plug-in seal and has a groove 47 through which the room-side sealing profile 46 is supported on a web 48 of the glass retaining strip 45.

The light-emitting means 43 of the outside sealing profile 42 according to the invention is arranged in the outer sealing profile 42 such that its main radiation direction is set so that on a surface element 18 designed as an insulating glass pane, taking into account the refractive index of window glass with respect to air, by exceeding the critical angle of total reflection, preferably a total reflection of Light results and thereby a substantial part or even the entire surface of the surface element 18 is illuminated. Preferably, the lighting means 43 is realized by an LED chain which extends over the entire length of the outside sealing profile 42. Particularly preferred as LEDs SMD LEDs are provided. As a result, the luminous means 43 can be arranged on the entire circumference of the surface element 18. In principle, however, other suitable bulbs 43 can be used.

By arranging discrete lighting means 43 -such as LEDs-over the entire length of the outside sealing profile 42, or on the entire circumference of the surface element 18, locally different light intensities can be generated on the surface element 18 by varying the quantity of lighting means 43 per unit length.

Moreover, it is also possible to arrange LEDs with different colors of light or to use RGB SMD LEDs, so that the light colors are e.g. can be changed by a control unit and thus dynamic lighting effects on the surface element 18 can be realized.

According to the invention, the size of the LEDs is at most 6 × 6 mm, preferably 5 × 5 mm, preferably 4 × 4 mm and particularly preferably 3 × 3.5 mm.

The use of an outside sealing profile 42 according to the invention with integrated lighting means 43 in a sash frame 3 is to be understood merely as an example. In principle, the invention is also in a window 1 without sash, so in a fixed frame, such as the frame 2 can be installed.
In Fig. 2 is an outside sealing profile 42 with an integrated lighting means 43 shown in section. The outside sealing profile 42 has a C-shaped base cross-section. The two flange portions of the C-shaped cross section are formed as sealing lips 49, 50. The sealing lips 49, 50 nestle in the mounted state of the outside sealing profile 42 and the surface element 18 (not shown) to the surface element 18 and thus seal the glass fold 17 against the environment. The outside sealing profile 42 also has a T-shaped retaining foot 51, which engages in the assembled state of the outside sealing profile 42 in a groove 41 in the outer shell 24 of the sash profile 5 (not shown) with corresponding geometry. In order to facilitate the mounting of the outside sealing profile 42 into the groove 41, the T-shaped holding foot 51 has a cavity 52 which allows a deformation of the T-shaped holding foot 51 required for assembly. The outer sealing profile 42 is supported in the mounted state via its base 53 on the outer shell 24 of the sash profile 5 from. Above all, in order to ensure the permanent sealing function, but also for assembly reasons, the outside sealing profile 42 is preferably made of an elastic, particularly preferably made of a rubber-elastic material by extrusion.

As already described above, the lighting means 43 is arranged in the web region of the C-shaped cross section, which results in a total reflection of the light in the main radiation direction of the lighting means on a surface element 18 embodied as an insulating glass pane. Preferably, the lighting means 43 is realized by LEDs. In principle, however, other suitable bulbs 43 can be used. The lighting means 43 is in the inventive embodiment according to Fig. 2 connected by an adhesive layer 54 cohesively with the outside sealing profile 42. Due to the selected arrangement of the luminous means 43 in the inner region 55 of the outer sealing profile 42 formed by the two sealing lips 49, 50, the luminous means 43 is protected against environmental influences but also against damage and, moreover, is not visible from the outside.

In Fig. 3 a further embodiment of the invention is shown. In this embodiment, the illuminant 43 is inserted into the interior region 55 of the outside sealing profile 42 in a form-locking manner in a T-shaped groove 56 surrounding the illuminating means 43 on three sides.

In Fig. 4 is a further embodiment of the outer side sealing profile 42 according to the invention with integrated lighting means 43 shown. In this embodiment variant of the invention, the groove bottom of the T-shaped groove 56, which surrounds the light-emitting means 43 on three sides, has two electrical conductors 57, 58 for supplying voltage to the light-emitting means 43. The conductors 57, 58 can be produced particularly advantageously by co-extrusion or post-coextrusion of an electrically conductive, rubber-elastic plastic such as, for example, carbon-compounded EPDM with the sealing profiled material.

In Fig. 5 is a further embodiment of the outer side sealing profile 42 according to the invention with integrated lighting means 43 shown. In this embodiment of the invention, the groove bottom of the T-shaped groove 56, which surrounds the light-emitting means 43 on three sides, has an electrical conductor 59 for supplying voltage to the light-emitting means 43. The conductor 59 can be formed by the concatenation of the lamp 43 via the sash profile 5 and the glass retaining strip 45, a corresponding wire connection.

Another conductor may then be an electrically conductive, rubber-elastic plastic, e.g. be carbon compound EPDM of the sealing profile material, which realizes the power supply of the lamp 43 via the sash profile 5 and the glass retaining strip 45.

In Fig. 6 is a further embodiment of the outer side sealing profile 42 according to the invention with integrated lighting means 43 shown. In this embodiment variant of the invention, the interior region 55 of the outside sealing profile 42 is filled with a transparent gel 60 after insertion of the illuminant 43, so that the illuminant 43 is completely enclosed by the gel 60. By reaction with the ambient air, the gel 60 forms a thin skin 61 which, when mounting the surface element 18 (not shown), acts as a plant seal designed external sealing profile 42 is destroyed. As a result, the gel 60 flows or settles between the luminous means 43 and the surface element 18. As a result, the refractive index jump between air and, for example, the glass of the surface element 18 is reduced or avoided.

In Fig. 7 is a further embodiment of the outer side sealing profile 42 according to the invention with integrated lighting means 43 shown. In this embodiment of the invention, the interior region 55 of the outside sealing profile 42 is filled with a transparent gel 60 after insertion of the illuminant 43, so that the illuminant 43 is completely enclosed by the gel 60, so that in the unmounted state of the outside sealing profile 42 a thin adhesive strip 62, the gel 60 in the inner region 55 of the outer sealing profile 42 holds and so a gel reservoir is formed. The adhesive strip 62 is destroyed during assembly of the surface element 18 (not shown) to the designed as a plant seal outside sealing profile 42 or removed by hand, for example, by pulling away. As a result, gel 60 flows or is placed between illuminant 43 and surface element 18. This reduces or avoids the refractive index jump between air and, for example, the glass of surface element 18.

In Fig. 8 a further embodiment of the room-side sealing profile 46 according to the invention with integrated lighting means 43 is shown. In the embodiment according to Fig. 8 is the room-side sealing profile 46 with integrated bulb 43 designed as a plug-in sealing profile.

The room-side sealing profile 46 has a C-shaped base cross-section. The two flange portions of the C-shaped cross section are formed as sealing lips 63, 64. The sealing lips 63, 64 nestle in the mounted state of the room-side sealing profile 46 and the surface element 18 (not shown) to the surface element 18 and thus seal the glass fold 17 (not shown) against the space of a building. The room-side sealing profile 46 further has a groove 47, which in the mounted state of the room-side sealing profile 46, a web 48 (not shown) of the inner shell 23 of the sash frame profile 5 encloses. The installation of the room-side sealing profile 46 is effected by inserting the room-side sealing profile 46 in the gap between the glass retaining strip 45 (not shown). and surface element 18. The room-side sealing profile 46 is supported in the assembled state via its base surface 65 on the glass retaining strip 18 from. Above all, to ensure the permanent sealing function, but also for assembly reasons, the room-side sealing profile 46 is preferably made of an elastic, particularly preferably made of a rubber-elastic material by extrusion.

The room-side sealing profile 46 has in the web region of the C-shaped base cross-section on an inner region 66 which is filled with a likewise C-shaped foamed sealing region 67 for better thermal insulation. The light-emitting means 43 is arranged in the foamed sealing region 67 in such a way that a total reflection of the light results in the main radiation direction of the light-emitting means 43 on a surface element 18 embodied as an insulating glass pane. Due to the selected arrangement of the luminous means 43 in the inner region 66 formed by the two sealing lips 63, 64 or in the foamed sealing region 67 of the room-side sealing profile 46, the luminous means 43 is protected against environmental influences but also against damage and beyond not visible from the outside. The C-shaped foamed sealing region 67 can be produced in a manufacturing step by coextrusion with the C-shaped base cross section of the room-side sealing profile 46.

According to the invention, the room-side sealing profile 46 in the embodiment according to Fig. 8 also be provided with a transparent gel 60 (not shown) that surrounds the bulb 43. By the gel 60, the refractive index jump between air and, for example, the glass of the surface element 18 is reduced or avoided.

Likewise, the sealing profile 42, 46 may be particularly advantageously obtained by co-extrusion or post-coextrusion of an electrically conductive, rubber-elastic plastic such as e.g. carbon-compounded EPDM.

In Fig. 9 is a further embodiment of the outer side sealing profile 42 according to the invention with integrated lighting means 43 shown. The outer sealing profile 42 has an overall C-shaped base cross-section. The outside sealing profile 42 is thereby from an L-shaped part of a formed rubber-elastic material, which forms an upper sealing lip 49. In the inner region of the L-shaped cross-section, a C-shaped sealing region made of an open-pore, foam-like elastic material 68 is arranged congruently, which forms the outer boundary of the outside sealing profile 42 in its lower region and forms a lower sealing lip 50. Both parts of the outside sealing profile 42 can be produced for example by coextrusion in one process step.

The lighting means 43 is received in the upper portion of the C-shaped sealing region of open-pored, foam-like elastic material 68 of the outside sealing profile 42 in a groove 69 and held by an adhesive layer 54.

In the main radiation direction, the light of the luminous means 43 strikes a reflection surface 70 arranged in the lower section of the C-shaped sealing region made of open-pore, foam-like elastic material 68 of the outside sealing profile 42, which reflects the light onto the surface element 18. The reflection surface 70 can be produced, for example, by metal vapor deposition of the lower region of the sealing region of open-pore, foam-like elastic material 68 of the outer sealing profile 42 which is provided for the reflection surface 53. Other manufacturing methods, such as e.g. the cohesive joining of prefabricated reflection surfaces 70 are also possible.

The reflection surface 70 can also be continued up to the light source 43 on the side of the foamed sealing region 68 facing the inner region 66 and thus also assume an additional function as an electrical conductor.

The C-shaped inner region 66 of the sealing region of open-pore, foam-like elastic material 67 is filled according to the invention with gel 60, that surrounds the illuminant 43 and the reflection surface 70. By the gel 60, the refractive index jump between air and e.g. reduced or avoided the glass of the surface element 18.

The reflection surface 70 can have different geometric shapes. In particular, concave or convex reflection surfaces 70 are possible. About that In addition, the reflective surface 70 may also include prisms or lenses. A double-angled reflection surface 70 whose basic geometry is reminiscent of a parabolic mirror is also possible. Overall, a particularly steep angle of incidence can be achieved by the reflection surface 70.

In Fig. 10 a variant embodiment of the not according to the invention outside sealing profile 42 is shown with integrated bulb 43. In this embodiment, the illuminant 43 is inserted into the outer side sealing profile 42 in a form-fitting manner in the region visible in the mounted state in a T-shaped groove 56 surrounding the illuminant 43 on three sides. The light-emitting means 43 is arranged in the outer-side sealing profile 42, which results in a total reflection of the light in the main beam direction of the light source on a surface element 18 (not shown) embodied here as an insulating glass pane.

In Fig. 11 is a further embodiment of the not according to the invention outside sealing profile 42 is shown with integrated bulb 43. In this embodiment, the illuminant 43 is inserted in a form-locking manner in the region of the sealing profile 42 visible in the mounted state in a T-shaped groove 56 enclosing the illuminant 43 on three sides. The lighting means 43 is arranged in the outside sealing profile 42, which results in a main radiation direction of the lighting means 43 parallel to the surface of the surface element 21 (not shown).

Preference is given to use as surface elements 18 insulating glass panes, which are provided with reflective nanoparticles or scattering particles. As a result, the lighting effects are improved or targeted.
