Description

The invention relates to a window or a door with a casement frame and a glazing held in the casement under a partial interlayer of glazing blocks and a method for producing such windows.
Windows or doors are manufactured in a manner known per se, in that, according to the building opening to be filled, a window frame and a wing frame which can be opened open on strips are assembled from profile sections and glazing is introduced into the sash frame. In this case, the glazing must have a certain distance in the region of its circumferential end face towards the sash frame in order, for example, to allow independent thermal expansion between the glazing and sash frame. For this purpose, usually glazing blocks between the sash and the glazing in the region of the end faces thereof are arranged to ensure this distance. In addition, the gap between the glazing and the sash is set via the glazing blocks, which are held at different heights, not only seeking a uniform gap width, but also a desired angular orientation of the sash to the glazing. Moreover, in the case of an openable sash, the glazing blocks are often selected so that the sash surrounds in the region of its handle side a certain amount, for example, 1 to 5 mm is raised, so that it can set or lower in the course of its useful life by this measure, without the functionality of the window is impaired.
From the prior art, it is known vorzuhalten Glazing blocks of different heights, which act on the glazing while exerting a slight bias, for example on the DE 42 07 108 C2 is referenced.
A disadvantage of the known prior art, however, is that the introduction of the glazing blocks in the desired heights is a manually consuming and experience of the window maker conditional activity that hinders a rational production hinder.

EP 1 843 003 A2 revealed in FIG. 4 a window or door according to the introductory part of claim 1.

The object of the invention is therefore to propose a window or a door of the aforementioned type and a method for producing such windows, in which the glazing effort is reduced.
To achieve the object, a window or a door according to the features of claim 1 is proposed according to the invention.
Advantageous embodiments and modifications of the invention are the subject of the dependent claims.
Windows or doors within the meaning of the invention also include French doors, entrance doors, interior doors, sliding doors and the like. In the following, the invention will be explained with reference to a window, but the explanations also apply correspondingly to doors, French doors, house or entrance doors, interior doors, sliding doors and the like.

The invention proposes that at least one of the glazing blocks is designed as a clamping block in the form of a cylinder segment, wherein the axis of the imaginary cylinder of the cylinder segment is parallel to the main plane of the glazing. Notwithstanding the hitherto consistently used rectangular shape of the glazing blocks, the invention proposes to form at least one of the glazing blocks used in the sash of the window according to the invention as a clamping block, which has a cylindrical segment-like shape. This makes it possible to press the glazing in the region of the clamping block in the desired mounting position within the sash, the design of the clamping block as a cylinder segment ensures easy pressability of the glazing in the sash and beyond the clamping block is elastically deformable, so that a corresponding elastic restoring force between the glazing and sash is generated, which automatically ensures the desired bias and / or the desired gap profile between the glazing and sash in this area. The external introduction of different glazing blocks, in particular at different heights with the aid of lever tools and the like, can therefore be dispensed with in the window according to the invention. As a result, a significant simplification of the production is achieved, which also can be easily performed by handling robots, since it is only necessary to press the glazing in the sash frame after attaching the glazing blocks and clamping blocks.

According to a proposal of the invention, the at least one tensioning block is attached to the casement and arched in the direction of the end face of the glazing, so that it is compressible when the glazing is pressed into the casement in the direction of the glazing depression formed in the casement.

The attachment of the clamping block on the casement serves only as an assembly aid and prevents unintentional falling out of at least one clamping pad before the introduction of the glazing. The attachment can accordingly be made by a clamping connection within the sash profile with a suitable contour of the same, by an adhesive or screw connection or by a plug connection. For example, the clamping block may be formed with a cylindrical or dowel-shaped plug-in projection on its side facing the casement and is in a inserted accordingly in the casement in the desired position introduced bore, whereby it is prevented from moving or accidentally falling out of the sash.

According to an alternative proposal of the invention, however, it is also possible to attach the at least one clamping block on the front side of the glazing, for example, to stick, wherein it is curved in the direction of the glazing unit of the surrounding sash.

In both cases, the cylinder-segment-like configuration of the clamping block with the corresponding orientation of the curvature ensures that when pressing the glazing the front side thereof slides on the curved surface of the clamping block, so that sets a desired gap between the glazing and the sash and possibly the clamping block is deformed elastically against its curvature, whereby a desired bias between the glazing and sash adjusts due to the then adjusting elastic restoring forces within the deformed clamping pad. Accordingly, when the glazing is pressed in, the clamping block has a slight excess of its curvature in relation to the gap desired between the glazing and the sash and is compressed to this gap when the glazing is pressed in.

According to an embodiment, it is proposed that the at least one clamping block has a curvature with a clear height of about 2 to 10 mm. The clear height can be determined, for example, by the clamping block is placed on a straight surface, so that the curvature rises from the base. The largest distance between base and clamping block then defines the clear height.

Of course, other plastics, possibly also fiber-reinforced plastics are used. It is also conceivable to produce the clamping block from other materials, for example suitable metals.
According to the invention it is further proposed to glue the glazing after insertion into the casement with this.
The method according to the invention for producing a window is based on the fact that glazing with the interposition of glazing blocks is used in the casement having a hinge side and a handle side. The method according to the invention comprises the steps:

1. 1. Providing the sash and the glazing in accordance with the predetermined building opening
2. 2. introduction of glazing blocks between the sash and glazing in the region of the front of the glazing facing Verglasungseinstandes the sash, wherein at least one glazing block is designed as a clamping block in the form of a cylinder segment and the axis of the imaginary cylinder of the cylinder segment is aligned parallel to the main plane of the glazing.

a further embodiment of the invention

From the FIG. 1 is a sash 1 of a window, not shown in further details, which is set in a conventional manner of mitred together sash section sections, namely an upper horizontal sash section 12, a lower horizontal sash section 15 and vertical sash sections 13 and 14 together. The sash 1 is assembled with a frame, not shown, to form a window according to the invention.

Reference numeral 10 designates the handle side of the casement on which the window handle 4 is also arranged, while reference numeral 11 represents the hinge side of the casement on which the hinges 3 are arranged so that the casement 1 can be opened within the window ,

In the wing frame 1 thus formed a glazing 2 is used in the manner shown in more detail below.

As for example from the representations of Figures 2a to 3b can be seen, the illustrated different sash profiles for this purpose a so-called glazing unit 100, which faces the end face 20 of the glazing.

In order to keep the glazing 2 at a certain distance from the glazing unit 100, moreover glazing blocks 5 are provided between the front side 20 of the glazing and the glazing unit 100 of the sash frame 1 in a manner known per se. The from the FIG. 1 Glazing blocks 5 which are visible in the area of the lower horizontal sash frame section 15 are formed in a manner known per se approximately parallel with the glazing recess 100 and the front side 20 of the glazing, in order to ensure a full-surface support of the glazing 2, which in the illustrated embodiment consists of three Single discs exists to form a common bearing surface for these individual discs.

If, as far as is customary, the sash 1 has a rectangular design, the length of the A and B in FIG. 1 designated, crossing diagonals be the same. In practice, however, it is endeavored to carry out the extending from the lower hinge side 11 to the upper handle side 10 diagonal A at least as long as the crossing diagonal B perform, preferably even slightly larger, so that sets a difference of 0 to 5 mm. This results in a slight twisting of the sash to the effect that the sash is raised approximately 1 to 2 mm with respect to the glazing on the handle side 10. This gives the casement a certain slump, around which it can fall in the course of its life, without the mobility suffers when designed as a sash 1 within such a window. For this purpose, in the prior art, in particular at the transition region between the upper horizontal sash frame portion 12 and the handle-side vertical sash portion 14 glazing blocks, which are slightly higher than necessary to set the desired difference in the length dimension of the two diagonals A and B. This selection of higher glazing blocks requires an empirical approach and extensive experience of the person performing the work.

To simplify this Verklotzen the glazing 2 within the sash 1, the invention proposes at least in these relevant areas, such as in the transition region between the upper horizontal sash section 12 and the vertical handle side sash section 14 to use glazing blocks, which are formed as clamping blocks 6 and according to the representation in FIG. 4 or 5 are executed in the form of a cylinder segment.

In a first from the FIGS. 2a and 2b apparent embodiment, the clamping block 6 is designed so that it can be fixed by clamping in the region of the glazing unit 100 by, for example, with one of its ends with a Wasserablaufnut 104 engages and is supported opposite to a sealing groove or a projection provided therefor.

The fastening of the clamping block designed as a cylinder segment takes place in such a way that the curvature thereof projects beyond the glazing unit 100 in the direction of the end face 20 of the glazing 2 to be used.

Like from the FIG. 4 it can be seen, the curvature is designed so that, for example, with respect to a pad U, a clear height H from 2 to 10 mm sets, the clamping block 6 can be made for example of a plastic material of a wall thickness of 2 to 6 mm.

If, according to arrow E, the glazing 2 is inserted in the wing frame equipped in this way with clamping blocks 6 and glazing blocks 5 of conventional design, then the end face 20 of the glazing 2 slides along the curved surface of the clamping block 6 along the curved surface of the clamping block 6 until it is in the desired position Installation position according to FIG. 2b comes to rest on the clamping block, in the area of the largest curvature. As a result, not only does the desired gap dimension between the front side 20 of the glazing 2 and the glazing unit 100 of the sash adjusts itself, but it can also cause a certain elastic deformation of the clamping block 6 in the direction of the glazing unit 100, resulting in corresponding elastic Restoring forces between glazing unit 100 and glazing 2 expresses. This raises the sash, for example, the sash 1 according to FIG. 1 automatically to the desired level on the handle side 10, since the dimension of the diagonal A relative to the diagonal B increases in the desired manner. On the previously required manual introduction of glazing blocks 5 different heights in the transition region between the upper horizontal sash section 12 and the handle side vertical sash section 14 can thus be dispensed with and it is only necessary, with a certain effort, the glazing 2 in the thus prepared Push in sash frame 1. Such an introduction of the glazing requires only little manual effort and, in particular, can also be carried out robotically in the sash frame of an automated production.

After the glazing 2 is placed in the sash, according to FIG. 2b Glass retaining strips 7 used in a conventional manner for fixing the glazing and optionally also causes a bond between the glazing 2 and the sash 1.

In the in the FIGS. 3a and 3b illustrated alternative embodiment of the invention, a clamping block 6 is used, which is not automatically clamped within the sash profile, here the handle side vertical sash section 14, since the profile contour used here does not allow such a jamming.
In such a case is suggested, as well as from the FIG. 5 it can be seen to form the clamping block in the region of its underside with at least one protruding pin-shaped or dowel-like insertion projection 60, which is inserted into a bore 102 introduced correspondingly in the casement profile, for example in the region of the prechamber 101. Also, such a fixed clamping block 6 is then fixed to the sash profile and allows the introduction of the glazing 2 in the already using the FIGS. 2a and 2b explained way under possibly elastic deformation of the clamping block 6, as shown in FIG. 3b seen.
Finally, it is also conceivable to determine the clamping block 6 within the Entwässerungsnut 103 with appropriate profile construction, for example, clamp.

It is understood that the selection and arrangement of the clamping blocks 6 within the sash can be selected by the skilled person according to the respective installation situation and also by the arrangement according to FIG. 1 may differ or other clamping blocks 6 can be used at other positions of the sash.
Instead of the determination of the clamping blocks on the sash shown in the figures before the onset of glazing can of course also be provided to set the clamping blocks on the glazing, for example, the front side glue before it is introduced into the sash, which in Fig. 6 is shown. Also in this way is an insertion in sash profiles according to FIGS. 2a or 3a possible.

The above-explained invention makes it possible to produce the desired diagonal dimension of the sash without the need for additional blocks of different heights by selecting the corresponding curvature of the cylinder blocks designed as clamping blocks when pressing the glazing. As a result, the assembly is significantly simplified and can be carried out in particular by robots.
Instead of the previously explained window doors of all kinds, such as French doors, entrance and interior doors and sliding doors can be formed with such clamping blocks 6.
