Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a device or assembly component for fastening a structure such as a window or a door element in an opening delimited by a bearing surface.
  • a structure such as a window or a door element in an opening delimited by a bearing surface.
  • it comprises a spacer element that can be attached to the support surface, such as a profile rail, and a separate guide part or insert with a sleeve-shaped shaft that can be inserted into an opening in the structure.
  • the shank has an opening which is used to guide a fastening element such as a screw, which allows a non-positive connection to be established between the spacer element and the structure.
  • the present invention further relates to a method for fastening a structure with the device according to the invention.
  • a fastener is often first guided through aligned bores in the structure and a support element in order to produce a non-positive connection between the structure and the support element.
  • the support element is then fixed in relation to the opening in the building on a bearing surface which delimits the opening. It proves to be a disadvantage that the fixing of the structure relative to the support element using the fastener requires high precision with regard to the aligned arrangement of the bores in the structure and the support element requires.
  • Such a device for fixing a structure is for example from DE 20 2006 014 335 U1 known.
  • the task of simplifying the attachment of a building in relation to a limited opening of a bearing surface was therefore as of the DE 10 2013 004 044 A1 described solved by a device for fastening a structure in relation to an opening delimited by a bearing surface, with a spacer element that can be attached to the bearing surface and a fastening element provided with a head, the spacer element having a guide part which, during pre-assembly, can be inserted into a passage of the structure is insertable.
  • the guide part has a through hole in a longitudinal axis and the fastening element is dimensioned such that after the device has been installed in the guide part, the fastening element extends into the through hole and enables a non-positive connection between the spacer element and the structure.
  • the spacer element and guide part are designed in one piece for this purpose and are realized as a plastic injection-molded part. This allows simple production and also optimization of the heat transfer between the structure and the building opening.
  • DE 10 2013 004 044 A1 also disadvantages.
  • the installation position of structures such as windows, doors, etc. is usually individual depending on the design, thickness of insulation, and architectural specifications. Therefore, in the case of one-piece assembly components, a correspondingly large variety of parts must be kept available in order to cover the needs of the market. This is reflected in high tool costs, especially in the case of injection moulding.
  • the known mounting parts made of plastic reach their load limit, especially in the case of structures mounted far in front of the load-bearing building elements.
  • WO 91/14846A1 a method of mounting a door or window frame in a building opening using an adjustable fastener.
  • This is designed as a sleeve-shaped or hollow-cylindrical component with an external thread, which engages in an internal thread of the frame.
  • the outer end has a flange-like head which has a cut-out on the face side.
  • this head When assembled, this head rests on a mounting element, which allows the frame to be placed outside of the reveal provided by the masonry. It also has an annular shape at the end pointing away from the building opening a threaded hole on centrally arranged bead, which cooperates with the recess. A non-positive connection secured against lifting is achieved by a screw that is guided through the hollow-cylindrical opening of the component and engages in the thread of the bead.
  • GB 2 120 713 A describes the attachment of an adjustable, two-part frame.
  • a first frame component fixed to a wall interacts with a second frame component, which can be adjusted relative to the first, in such a way that a closed frame is formed on the outside.
  • There is an adjusting device between the two frame components consisting of a sleeve-shaped block with an internal thread and a separate adjusting screw, which allows the distances between the two frame components to be varied in order to compensate for uneven walls.
  • the object of the present invention is to improve the prior art solutions, particularly with regard to handling and range of use. This object is solved by the features of the independent claims.
  • the device according to the invention is based on the generic prior art -on, with a mounting part being constructed in at least two parts from a guide part and a spacer element. They can thus be designed, optimized, manufactured and stored separately.
  • a spacer element selected for the individual construction situation is selected and equipped with a guide part, i.e. connected in a detachable or non-detachable manner.
  • the connection is made by locking hooks that engage in holes or bores in the spacer element and snap into place.
  • the primary purpose of the spacer element is to be able to vary the distance between the building and the load-bearing structure of the building shell. To do this, it must divert the loads acting on the building into the supporting structure and provide safe diverting points for these forces.
  • the loads include, among other things, the dead weight of the structure, wind pressure and suction as well as loads caused by operating the structure (such as opening, closing and tilting windows/doors).
  • the spacer element and guide part can be connected in a detachable or non-detachable manner, which is reflected in the type of connecting elements.
  • retaining elements are provided on the guide part, on its foot part, which correspond to the corresponding technical features of the spacer element in such a way that a detachable or non-detachable connection can be achieved.
  • the retaining elements are designed as lugs, clamps, bolts, brackets, pins or tabs. Surfaces, projections, retaining lugs or openings are provided on the spacer element itself, which interact with the retaining elements mentioned.
  • the connection is made by locking hooks that engage in holes or bores in the spacer element and snap into place.
  • the spacer element can be designed as a profile rail with a C, U, double T or I or approximately W-shaped cross section.
  • a flat bar ie a strip-shaped spacer element made of solid material with a rectangular cross section, can also be possible.
  • Metals such as steel, aluminum (extruded profiles), plastics, fiber-reinforced plastics or composite materials, e.g. plastic-coated metal parts, can be used as the material.
  • Profile rails can be cheaply produced by cold forming or form rolling. Depending on the static design, a specialist will select a suitable profile/material combination.
  • Such a spacer element will preferably have openings such as holes, elongated holes or bores, with which the spacer can be anchored to a bearing surface of an opening in a building shell.
  • openings can be of various diameters and shapes and allow fasteners (screws, nails, dowels, staples) to pass into the supporting structure of the building envelope.
  • the spacer element also preferably has a further passage opening, into which the fastening element engages during assembly of the structure.
  • This engagement is preferably carried out in a non-positive manner, so that the guide part plays a lesser role in terms of safety than the fastening element when connecting the structural body and the spacer itself.
  • the opening can be a mere bore into which a fastener selected as a screw cuts a thread during assembly of the structure.
  • the opening itself could also have a moulded/pressed-in thread, thus facilitating assembly.
  • parts of the guide element engage in the opening and thus act as dowels in the spacer element when the fastening element is driven in.
  • the fastening element is therefore preferably a screw, a self-tapping, thread-forming or self-tapping screw and/or a drilling screw.
  • the spacer element is assembled with a guide part in a pre-assembly step.
  • the guide part essentially consists of a shaft-shaped sleeve with a foot part that is connected to the spacer.
  • the sleeve has an opening, preferably a through-opening or through-opening, which runs axially in the longitudinal direction of the sleeve.
  • the cross section of this opening is preferably circular, but can also be made polygonal.
  • the diameter is selected in such a way that a fastening element, which must ensure the permanent connection of the structure and spacer element, is aligned when it is inserted in the guide part and the various bores in the structure are aligned.
  • the geometric orientation of the (passage) opening of the spacer element and the longitudinal axis of the opening in the guide part i.e. the alignment in an aligned line when installing the structure of the fastening element
  • the geometric orientation of the (passage) opening of the spacer element and the longitudinal axis of the opening in the guide part are coordinated in such a way that the fastening element when passing through the opening of the spacer element is at least partially can cut a thread or achieve the attachments described above.
  • the guide part has two or more formations with locking hooks that engage in holes or bores in the spacer element and engage there.
  • the guide part can preferably be made of metal or plastic, injection-moulded plastic, die-cast metal or fiber-reinforced plastic or composite materials.
  • the described embodiments of fastening elements for spacer elements and guide parts allow an assignment that is optimized for the application.
  • a longer or shorter design of the sleeve-like shaft may be required.
  • the installation position in the building shell can have different lengths of the profile rail (Spacer) require. Due to the modular, two-piece design of the mounting part according to the invention, it can be combined as required. In addition, the number of catalog parts can be reduced, which simplifies warehousing and distribution.
  • a method according to the invention for assembling the assembly part described above is characterized by essentially 4 steps.
  • the assembly part provided is assembled from a spacer element and a guide part.
  • This connection can be detachable or fixed.
  • the types of connection can preferably include: gluing, clamping, locking, friction welding or clipping and optionally also combinations thereof.
  • This assembly can preferably take place immediately before step 2 on the construction site, but could also take place further ahead in time.
  • the guide part more precisely the sleeve-shaped shaft thereof, is inserted into a passage in the structure.
  • This passage is preferably a hole in the structure, which is designed to be large enough to allow the shaft to be inserted straight, but with little room to maneuver.
  • the guide part is then brought into the assembly position, that is to say it is inserted into the structure and rotated so far that the structure can be easily placed in the opening in the building shell.
  • This process of steps 1 and 2 is repeated as often as assembly components are to be attached to the structure. However, without restricting the inventive idea, this process is only described once.
  • the spacer element is then attached to the support surface of the opening with a fixing element (screw, nail, anchor, ).
  • This fastening can take place, for example, through a hole or slot in the spacer element and is preferably carried out in such a way that an adjustment or fine adjustment of the installation position of the structure is still possible later.
  • the spacer element is preferably anchored at a safety distance from the edge of the supporting surface with at least one fixing element.
  • the fastening element is then introduced into the guide part and advanced so far that it is guided through the axial shaft or the opening therein to reach the connection area with the spacer element and there, as described above, engages in the spacer element in a securing manner.
  • the fastening element cuts a thread in an opening provided for this purpose in the spacer element.
  • the head of the fastening element strikes the structure when the assembly component is mounted, so that the shaft section of the fastening element adjoining the head is fixed in the guide part along the longitudinal axis.
  • the guide part thus achieves two functions during assembly - it allows the spacer to be attached loosely but adjustably to/in the structure and in a further step it guides the fastening element through the structure into the spacer element.
  • the material of the guide part can be at least partially removed or deformed by at least one cutting and/or shaping element (drilling screw or self-tapping screw) attached to the fastening element.
  • the guide part can be at least partially drilled out and/or at least partially removed in the assembly position. In this way, too, the initially provisional relative alignment of the structure with respect to the spacer element can be permanently ensured even after the installation of the device.
  • the spacer element comprises a material that reduces thermal bridges.
  • an insulating effect of the device can be improved.
  • the formation of condensation water can also be reduced or even prevented in this embodiment.
  • the spacer element can also be formed completely from an insulating material, ie a material that reduces thermal bridges.
  • figure 1 shows a mounting element 10 according to the invention in the mounted state.
  • a spacer element 14 rests against the bearing surface 12 of an opening in a building shell.
  • the length of the spacer element is not shown to scale, and the attachment of the spacer element to the support surface has also been omitted from the drawing.
  • a structure 16 has two holes.
  • a guide part 22 pre-assembled on the spacer element 14 was introduced into the opening facing the support surface 12 .
  • the fastening element 20, shown here as a screw was inserted through a further bore in the structure 16, which faces away from the bearing surface 12.
  • the guide part 22 detects the screw 20 during assembly of the structure 16; this is guided specifically in the direction of the spacer element 14 and anchored therein.
  • Feature 26 shows the foot part of the guide part 22, which ensures that the guide part 22 and spacer element 14 can be connected during the preassembly.
  • figure 2 shows the assembly element 10 in the preassembled state before assembly of the structure 16.
  • the guide part 22 has a through hole 30 which is oriented along the longitudinal axis 36.
  • Retaining elements 28 of the guide part 22 are shown in detail A, which act on the connecting areas 32 of the spacer element 14 .
  • the opening 34 in the spacer element 14 is aligned with the bore 30 of the guide part 22.
  • FIG. 3 shows a mounting element 10 in plan view.
  • the spacer element 14 has bores 38, 39, through which attachment to the bearing surface 12 is made possible.
  • the bores can have different diameters, shapes, positions and can have adjustment elements (elongated hole).
  • Guide member 22 is preassembled with spacer member 14 latching hook-like retaining members 28 according to the invention.
  • figure 4 shows a non-preassembled guide part 22. It comprises a sleeve-shaped shaft 24 which (cf. 2 ) accommodates the bore 30 about the central axis 36.
  • the foot part 26 shows hook-like retaining elements 28 according to the invention.
  • figure 5 12 shows the guide part 22 according to the preferred embodiment figure 4 in a view rotated by 90° around the axis 36, fitted with a spacer element 14.
  • figure 5 corresponds to an end view of the mounting element 10 of FIG figure 3 .
