Description

The invention relates to a method for positioning and / or holding a filling element and a glass holder, as described in claims 1 and 10.

For the glazing of frames, in particular floor and sash of windows and doors, a variety of methods and profile systems or glass holder for fixing the glass or the filling element are known, especially in passive houses increased demands on the tightness exist, even after years should be guaranteed.
In general, two systems are distinguished, namely wet glazing and dry glazing. When wet glazing silicone is introduced according to the joint width in the joints between the frame / metal profile and filling element, in which case no pressure on the outer shell is necessary. A disadvantage of the old system of wet glazing that a specialist is necessary for the siliconizing, as in quality poor siliconizing the tightness of the joint is not guaranteed over the life. Likewise, it requires a skillful worker to produce a visually uniform silicone joint. Furthermore, the wet glazing can not be done below a certain temperature of 5 ° C. A major disadvantage is that the glass strip or wood strip, which is arranged on the inside, is usually destroyed in a disk replacement when removing, so new replacement bars usually look different, since due to the UV radiation, the color of the glass strip ( mostly made of wood) changed over time.

In the new systems, namely the so-called dry glazing, instead of the silicone, a silicone seal profile is applied both externally and internally. However, there is the requirement that a corresponding pressure on the outer seal must be applied via the filling element, so that the tightness is given and the filling element is completely present. However, this must be ensured even with rain and wind pressure against the filling element, so that there are high demands on the pressure generating system or elements. The tightness by simply pressing the filler and subsequent nailing a conventional glazing bead is usually insufficient, especially as glazing beads made of wood due to shrinkage can not permanently ensure the required contact pressure, so that the system can be leaking.

So is in the WO 2015/143462 A1 discloses a glass holder in which the guide of the screw is designed as a two-part sliding body for generating a contact pressure, wherein each sliding body part has a sliding surface formed as an inclined plane. Disadvantages here are mainly in the leadership and positioning of the glass holder and the screws, which can lead to assembly errors or inaccuracies. For example, if you want to be able to adjust the contact pressure on the filling element - and the arrangement of support legs, which serve for a firm hold and a predefined position, not possible because thereby a displacement of the glass holder in the direction of filling element would not be possible. Even a readjustment at later material shrinkage is not or only very slightly possible. However, a major disadvantage is also in the handling during assembly, as for the positioning of the glass holder a developed teaching must be used to achieve the correct distance of the glass holder to the filling element and to simplify the positioning of the Gleitkörperteils the sliding surface.

Further screwed glass holders are from the DE 101 19 446 A1 . DE 10 2008 017 169 A1 and the DE 10 2007 054 445 A1 known, wherein over the inclined in the disk direction screwing the glass holder a contact pressure is achieved. The disadvantage here is that the contact pressure can be built up only to a limited extent and can not be varied, also acts predominantly punctually in the screw area and disadvantages in dimensional stability are given. In an education according to DE 10 2007 054 445 A1 disadvantageous added that the glass retaining strip must be screwed down almost horizontally, so that the retaining anchor is positioned according to fixing the glass bead, whereby here the contact pressure is built up only by positioning the entire glass retaining strip, whereby the glass strip with the frame is no longer flat.

In the DE 10 2014 014 658 A1 a glass retaining strip is shown, which can be easily clipped on the sash profile. The disadvantage here is that the contact pressure on the window glass is not adjustable and / or adjustable, and in particular in case of shrinkage or wear readjustment is not possible. In addition, matched profiles are required here and attachment to a standard frame in such a way is not possible. However, such a system usually can not do enough Create contact pressure on the outer silicone gasket in the outer shell, so that under strong wind pressure, the filling element is pressed by the silicone gasket and can penetrate the rain gap in the resulting gap water at the same time.

From the DE 20 2011 100 184 U1 a glass retaining strip is known, which hangs behind the base profile. Again, there are the disadvantages that neither the contact pressure of the glass retaining strip on the window is adjustable, nor the glass retaining strip can be mounted on a standard frame.

In the FR 1 521 097 A Glass retaining strips are shown, which are clipped or screwed to the base profile. Disadvantages are mainly in the complex construction, the lack of adjustability of the contact pressure and adaptation to different glazing strengths and the lack of ability to readjust the contact pressure on the glazing element positively and easily, especially in case of material loss.

Finally, the US 2010/0307082 A1 and the WO 2015/145477 A1 to take different types of clamping devices in the form of U-profiles for the reception of sheet-like elements with disadvantages resulting from the assembly side.

As already mentioned above, in the case of dry glazings of the type mentioned at the outset, the filling element, in particular the window pane, is at best sealed by way of a silicone foam gasket to the outer profile, in particular usually an aluminum shell. For this purpose, a corresponding contact pressure must be applied and ensured in order to ensure the tightness between the sealing profile in the outer shell (outer seal) and the filling element, in particular the window pane. A disadvantage of the known systems is that, after a prolonged service life or lifetime, shrinkage may occur in the individual profiles or frames or structures and thus in reduced contact pressure on the outer seal and consequently in leaks in the window profile. Especially modern passive houses with environmentally friendly energy return systems, living room ventilation etc., but build on appropriately sealed window and door systems, which should still be air-tight or readjustable after years.

The present invention has for its object to improve a method for positioning and / or holding a filling element and / or a glass holder for carrying out the method of the type mentioned above so that a simple production and assembly on the one hand and an adjustable and permanent contact pressure to achieve a best possible tightness is achieved. Another object of the invention is to avoid the aforementioned disadvantages.

The object is achieved by the invention.

The object of the invention is achieved by a method such that the glass holder, a spreading element is inserted into a receiving area between a support leg and a Anpressschenkel and fastened via a fastening means, due to a displacement of the expansion element in the direction of a base of the glass holder or in the direction of Frame, a contact force is generated and adjusted by pivoting the contact leg in the direction of the filling element.

The advantage here is that the contact pressure is not, as in conventional known systems, significantly achieved by the inclination of the screws in the direction of the filling element, and thus strongly depends on the installation skill and experience of the mechanic or its daily condition, but the fastener or the Screw normal to the frame or at a predefined angle, in particular at approximately the same angle as the support leg, is precisely positioned or guided and the contact pressure, in particular the depth of engagement of the expansion element, can be precisely adjusted. Another advantage is that a very simple handling of the glass holder is possible because this or its body is first placed on the frame to the filling element and then placed the spreader or, with attached spreader, the fastener is used, so this on the body the glass holder, in particular a base, and the expansion element is guided through corresponding holes or openings, so that only the fastening means preferably has to be screwed with a cordless screwdriver. It can be adjusted due to the depth of engagement of the contact pressure.

But are also advantageous measures in which solved by attaching the fastener an expansion element of a main body of the glass holder becomes. It is thereby achieved that the expansion element is held in position by the detachable connection and the fastening means, in particular a screw, simply inserted into the expansion element and are purposefully or guided screwed into the receiving area, wherein in this process, the spreading automatically from the main body of the Glass holder releases. In addition to the ease of handling by a single part of the glass holder when mounting another major advantage is that the manufacturer's profiles and position optimally matched and the contact pressure and the pivoting width of the contact leg on site can be precisely defined or adjusted. Assembly errors in the positioning or guide can be avoided, while still maintaining the adjustability of the contact pressure is maintained and even a later readjustment is possible. Also, in the glass holder according to the invention no teaching for attachment to the frame longer required, but it can simply put on the glass holder and the fastening means are screwed.

Furthermore, measures are also advantageous, according to which the expansion element is fastened to the base body via a predetermined breaking point, since in this way the expansion element is connected to the basic body and positioned precisely and no additional handling steps are required during assembly, such as, for example. the manual insertion and alignment of the spreader or separating a possible connection between the body and spreader. The expansion element is achieved in this way preferably via the fastening means from the base body, so for example simply by screwing by means of a cordless screwdriver. This also a very quick and flawless installation of the glass holder is possible because the expansion element is held in the mounting position over the predetermined breaking point, so that only the glass holder is preferably positioned in a groove on the frame on the support leg, a screw inserted and preferably screwed with the cordless screwdriver must become.

Advantageous measures are also that the spreader is not completely screwed into the receiving area, ie to the base, so that between the base and spreader in the mounted state a space for subsequent attachment is formed when a fading occurs. This ensures that the occurrence of a loss or leakage of the filling element, the fastening means can be readjusted or further screwed. It is also possible that optical symbols are arranged on the expansion element, so that appropriate specifications for Mounting via the screw-in depth is possible. It is also possible that a stop for the optimum depth of engagement is generated by arranging a locking lug in the receiving area, over which you can screw with increased force, however, the spreader deeper.

Also advantageous are measures in which the receiving area is formed with a smaller or narrower cross-section than the expansion element, as characterized by inserting or screwing the expansion element intended by a squeezing the receiving area limiting surfaces, in particular the contact surface on the filling element, and the associated Build up of a contact pressure in the direction of the outer shell, in particular on the outer seal is achieved.

By means of measures in which the support leg and / or a support leg in the mounting position abstützender insertion leg of the expansion element is angularly formed in relation to the normal to the base, in an advantageous manner, the normal to the frame or slightly angled towards the filling force directed at the Fixing process is created, diverted or deflected in the direction of the filling element.

By further measures, by means of which the angle which forms the support leg with the Anpressschenkel is formed between 1 ° and 65 ° and this angle is increased when inserting the expansion element, in particular by deformation or pivoting of the pressing leg, in turn, according to the invention, more advantageous Way a piecewise and construction and assembly side definable pressure build-up of the pressing leg to the filling element and thus from the filling element on the outer sides, in particular outer seal done.

By means of which increased by stronger attachment of the fastener of the contact pressure on the filler and can be reduced by piecemeal release of the fastener pressure, the preferred simple and effective adjustment and Nachjustierbarkeit the contact pressure to ensure a flat contact and tightness and thermal insulation of the window - Or door element taken into account.

Weiters are also measures advantageous to taper the expansion element in its cross-sectional shape at least on one side, in particular trapezoidal or wedge-shaped, form, because of the tapered training or the trapezoidal or wedge shape optimizes the spreading and can be defined exactly by means of the angular surface / n in its strength.

The invention is also achieved by a glass holder for carrying out the method, which comprises at least one main body with preferably at least one plug-in extension arranged thereon and a contact surface for frictionally fixing a filling element.

In this case, the object of the invention is achieved by the glass holder, wherein the glass holder, a support leg and a Anpressschenkel, arranged thereon contact surface, is arranged to form a receiving area for a spreader. Alternatively, the Anpressschenkel can also be arranged or formed on the expansion element. This is the first time achieved by the spreading effect on the two legs, a deformation or pivoting of the expansion element and thus well metered and adjustable power transmission in the direction of the filling element and thereby fastened or fixed the filling element accordingly. Above all, a significant advantage is that in the case of the filling elements, in particular glass panes, very high tolerances, in particular in the width of the filling element, occur which can be compensated for the first time with the glass holder according to the invention. For example, with triple glazing up to +/- 1.2mm between the different panes of glass, but also in a pane of glass in itself, where production-related at the corners usually the glass sheets are stronger than in the middle. So that a safe and suitable contact pressure for the tightness can be ensured with heavy wind pressure with rain, a corresponding structure is used in the dry glazing, in which on the outside of the outer shell, in particular on the aluminum profile, an outer seal, in particular silicone foam gasket is used by the applicant, which works together with the glass holder on the inside. In this case, the silicone foam seal can accommodate high tolerances of the filling element, wherein the glass holder via the expansion element generates the necessary contact force of the filling element to the outer seal, in particular silicone foam seal, by simply screwing the fastener. By such a structure, the glass holder can be used not only for passive house windows, but also for all wood or wood / aluminum windows, especially in fixed glazing. Another very important advantage is that a disassembly of all elements, in particular the cover strip inside nondestructive can be removed and used again because the cover strip is simply attached to the glass holder.

By an embodiment according to which the expansion element is releasably secured or via a predetermined breaking point on the support leg and / or Anpressschenkel, a simple assembly is possible. For this purpose, the glass holder is preferably placed over the support leg in a guide groove in the frame, so that it is already arranged at the correct distance to the filling element. The support leg and the guide groove are at best dimensionally matched to one another such that the glass holder remains stuck in the guide groove after being placed in place so that the glass holder does not fall out of the groove when mounted overhead. Subsequently, the fastening means can be inserted into the holes provided, since the expansion element is held in position on the predetermined breaking point, whereupon this only needs to be screwed. By screwing in the predetermined breaking point is automatically separated, so that the expansion element is fastened in the receiving area of the glass holder by the fastening means.

By an embodiment according to which the support leg is formed more dimensionally stable than the Anpressschenkel, the displacement or pivoting of the contact pressure arm in the direction of filling element is achieved in an advantageous and simple manner. This also ensures that the support leg and the integrally formed on the base body of the glass holder, and preferably facing away from the filling element extending plug extensions for fixing the trim profile remain exactly aligned.

By an embodiment according to which the support leg and contact leg in the unassembled state of the glass holder enclose an angle between 1 ° and 65 ° with respect to each other, this angle being increased when inserting the expansion element, an essentially U- or V- shaped reception area. By applying pressure via the expansion element, the angle between the two legs can be relatively easily increased and, however, also reduced again by removing or piecewise removing the expansion element due to the material-related restoring forces of the angle. As already stated, due to the nature of each change in angle leads to a change in the contact pressure on the filling element. The increase in the angle can be achieved by deformation, in particular by pivoting the contact leg.

An advantage is an embodiment in which the fastening element for variable adjustment of the distance or height between the expansion element and the base body, in particular the base of the glass holder, in particular as a screw element is formed. As a result, an exact relative adjustment to each other and thus also exact contact force on the filling element can be achieved.

Finally, a design of advantage in which the base body a support leg for insertion and positioning to the filling element is arranged in a groove. This ensures that the glass holder is arranged in the correct position to the filling element. At the same time it is achieved that the glass holder is held securely in the frame also laterally and in the top of the groove, so that a considerable ease of assembly is achieved.

The invention will be described in more detail below by means of several exemplary embodiments, the invention not being restricted exclusively to this example shown and described.

By way of introduction, it should be noted that in the various embodiments, the same parts are provided with the same reference numerals or the same component names, wherein the disclosures contained in the entire description can be mutatis mutandis to the same parts with the same reference numerals and component names. Also, the location information chosen in the description, such as top, bottom, side, etc. related to the described figure and are mutatis mutandis transferred to the new situation in a change in position. Also, individual features or combinations of features from the illustrated and described embodiments may represent separate inventive solutions.

In the Fig. 1 to 4 For example, there is shown a method for positioning and / or supporting a filling element 1 or a sheet in a frame of windows, doors and related devices with glazing and a glass holder 2.

It is in Fig. 1 a ready-mounted fixation of the filling element 1 on a frame 3 by means of outer shell 4 and glass holder 2 shown. As outer shell 4 may also be a metal profile 5, in particular an aluminum shell may be formed.

In this case, the filling element 1 is placed or placed on the outer shell 4 and then mounted on the opposite side of the filling element 1 of the glass holder 2 for fixing to the frame 3. The outer shell 4 thus serves as a stop for the filling element 1, which is pressed by a contact surface 6 of the glass holder 2 against the outer shell 4, in particular an outer seal, whereby a contact pressure on the outside and inside of the filling element 1, in particular an outer seal or Silicone gasket consisting of a sealing body 7 made of silicone and a sealing head 8 made of silicone foam, is constructed. The one-piece seal was shown in two parts to better keep the different areas apart, the seal body 7 and the seal head 8 are produced coextruded and the seal head because of the silicone foam used the high Tolerance of the filling element 1 can accommodate. At the contact surface 6 is preferably a protective / sealing layer 9, so an inner seal applied to avoid damage to the filling element 1 or water ingress on the inside.

It should be noted that with the inventive method or glass holder 2 in addition to a filling element 1, other flat structures can be fixed in a frame 3. It should also be noted that filling elements 1 are not limited to components made of glass, but other, preferably transparent, materials may be used, such as acrylic glass, or metal panels, wood panels, etc. Furthermore, the inventive method or the glass holder 2 for Attach suitable for a variety of materials, usually frame 3 made of wood, plastic, aluminum or composite profiles are used.

In essence, the attachment or the positioning and / or holding of the filling element 1 in the frame 3, in particular in a floor or casement of windows, doors and related devices with glazing, thus on the glass holder 2, in particular a so-called dry glazing.

The contact pressure of the glass holder 2 on the filling element 1 and thus of the filling element 1 on the outer seal is achieved or constructed via an expansion element 10, which deflects the pressure or force applied during fastening in the direction of the frame 3 in the direction of the filling element 1.

This is done such that the expansion element 10 is inserted into a receiving area 11 between a support leg 12 and a pressing leg 13 and fastened via a fastening means 14, wherein due to a displacement of the expansion element 10 in the direction of a base 15 of the glass holder 2 and in the direction of the frame 3, a contact force is generated and adjusted by displacement or pivoting of the pressing leg 13 in the direction of the filling element 1. As a result, with greater attachment of the fastening means 14, the contact pressure on the filling element 1 can be increased and the contact pressure can be reduced by piecemeal release of the fastening means 14. That is, the deeper the spreader 10 is screwed, the higher the contact pressure.

Furthermore, on a base body 16 of the glass holder 2, preferably in the direction away from the filling element 1 direction, a plug-in extension 17 is formed, which is designed for preferably releasable attachment of a trim profile 18 and a glass strip. This in Fig. 1 illustrated embodiment, for better positioning and sealing on two plug extensions 17, which are aligned normal to the filling element 1. In principle, however, only a plug-in extension 17 can be used, which is arranged in its position matched to the respective trim profile 18 or glazing bead, or is the reverse variant possible, namely to arrange on the glass holder 2, a plug extension, which engages with a plug-in extension can be brought to the trim profile 18 or on the glass strip. Between the cladding profile 18 and the filling element 1, a further sealing profile 19, in particular an inner seal, is fixed in order to also be able to produce a seal of the system in the interior.

In addition, at least one support leg 20 is preferably formed on the base 15 of the glass holder 2 and the base body 16, which engages in a recess or groove 21 on the frame 3 or frame profile or is guided and fixed therein. As a result, a better positioning to the filling element 1 and dimensioning for more targeted alignment of the contact pressure and easier mounting and positioning of the cover is achieved. A displacement of the glass holder 2 when screwing in the fastening means 14 is thus avoided, whereby falling out of the glass holder 2 in the sides or top of the frame 3 is avoided. Such receiving grooves are usually already provided as standard on the glass inside in the frame 3 or frame profile, which is why two different Stützfußdimensionen are provided for the glass holder. Preferably, two support legs 20 are arranged and formed at such a distance from one another that the distances at the outer edges are preferably 4 mm, 5 mm or 6 mm. But there are also other distances and dimensions of the support legs 20 possible, the size and / or the distance is particularly matched to the groove 21 in order to achieve a tight fit of the glass holder 2.

But it is also possible that the support leg 20 can be omitted entirely in order to achieve a mounting to frame 3, where no groove 21 is provided, ie, that the glass holder 2 is simply placed on the frame 3 and during assembly with easy the fingers, in particular thumb, is pressed slightly towards the filling element 1, wherein with the Another hand that fastener 14 is preferably screwed with a cordless screwdriver.

The inventive method is now in the synopsis of Fig. 2 . 3 and 4 as well as the illustrated final fixation in the framework in Fig. 1 illustrated, wherein the fastening means 14 is preferably formed as a screw. It shows Fig. 2 the predetermined breaking point 35 is formed as a narrow web and holds the expansion element 10 in the starting position in position above the receiving area 11, ie, that the glass holder 2 is preferably made in one piece, in which the expansion element 10 is fixed on the predetermined breaking point 35 on the base body 16 and only when mounting or assembly, in particular when screwing the fastening means 14, the expansion element 10 independently by the force of the fastening means 14 is released, so the predetermined breaking point 35 is separated to the expansion element 10. This considerably simplifies handling during assembly.

Furthermore is in Fig. 3 a partially screwed position and in Fig. 4 finally presented a possible end position. The procedure according to the positions in Fig. 2 . 3 and 4 is the piecewise and guided or directed insertion of the expansion element 10 in the receiving area 11 and the displacement or pivoting of the pressing leg 13 in the direction of filling element 1 to remove. It should be noted that a variety of known from the prior art fastening means 14 may be used, preferably thread-like fasteners 14 are used.

In Fig. 2 is, as already stated, the glass holder 2 shown in its initial position, wherein the expansion element 10 is detachably formed or fixed to the base body 16. The attachment of the expansion element 10 takes place in the receiving area 11, preferably, as shown, the Anpressschenkel 13. Similarly, the expansion element 10 but also elsewhere in the receiving area 11, for example, on the support leg 12 done.

Due to the preferred embodiment, in which only by fixing the fastening means 14, the expansion element 10 is released from the base body 16 of the glass holder 2, a much simplified assembly can be achieved. This takes place in such a way that the glass holder 2 is only inserted and screwed into the groove 21 got to. It is only necessary to pay attention to the depth of engagement, since thereby the contact pressure or contact pressure on the filling element 1 is defined or adjusted. For this purpose, it is possible that when using a cordless screwdriver, a special screwing force is adjusted, with the glass holder 2 is then attached, so that the expansion element 10 is always screwed in the same depth and thus almost always the same force is generated on the filling element 1.

In the embodiment shown in FIG Fig. 2 is at the base 15 in the receiving area 11 a bore 22 for the fastening means 14 (in Fig. 2 not shown), in particular a screw provided by which one end of the fastening means 14 is screwed into the frame 3. Furthermore, 6 holes or recesses are arranged on the contact surface 6, which can serve for the application of a protective / sealing layer 9 and an inner seal. The holes 22 and holes 23 may also be formed as a threaded hole for a screw or in another form of recess, for example, angular or as a slot.

In addition, the expansion element 10 preferably webs 24 to ensure dimensional stability when pressurized and recesses (25, 26), wherein the expansion element 10 has approximately the shape of a trapezoid or rectangle. Due to the design of the recesses 26 between the webs 24 can be saved in comparison to the full-volume training, material significantly. The recess 25, however, serves mainly to sink the fastening means 14 or the screws, that is to say for receiving the screw head, so that it terminates flush with the expansion element 10. Here, a contact surface 27 and the hole direction is formed such that the fastening means 14, matched to the receiving area 11 is guided so that a correspondingly directed, uniform contact pressure of the contact surface 6 is achieved on the filling element 1, whereby assembly errors can be avoided.

The force which is generated essentially via the fastening means 14 or the force effect is achieved by means of an angular arrangement of insertion legs 28 of the expansion element 10 and / or angled arrangement of the support and contact legs (12, 13) in the direction of the pressing leg 13 or filling element 1 directed or redirected.

Furthermore, the contact surface 27 or the hole guide can also be aligned such that the pressure or the forces acts or act more strongly in the direction of the pressing leg 13 and / or the expanding element 10 still tilts in the direction of the pressing leg 13 after complete insertion this is further pressed in the direction of filling element 1. The former can be achieved for example by a slightly oblique guidance of the fastening means 14 in the direction of the filling element 1 and the latter by additional provisions on the expansion element 10, such. Preferably, the fastening means 14 via the recess 25 and bore 22 is guided such that the fastening means 14 perpendicular or normal to the frame 3 or angled in the direction Filling element 1, in particular in the same or approximately the same angle as the support surface 34, is screwed into the frame 3.

In general, by the method according to the invention or the glass holder 2 on the one hand structurally or on-site a very flexible adjustment of the contact pressure on the filling element 1 or Verschwenkweite of Anpressschenkels 13, in particular in relation to the insertion or position of the expansion element 10 in the receiving area 11, allows. On the other hand, the glass holder 2, as already stated, always be mounted in the same and simple way.

Such structural measures can be achieved for example by different angular arrangements.

In principle, an angle 29, which the support leg 12 encloses with the contact leg 13, is preferably formed between 1 ° and 65 ° (FIG. Fig. 2 ), wherein this angle 29 is increased during insertion of the expansion element 10 ( Fig. 4 ). It can be said that the receiving area 11 tapers in the direction of the base 15 or frame 3, wherein by screwing in the expanding element 10, preferably only the pressing leg 13 is pressed or pressed apart.

This means that in order to achieve the required spreading action, the receiving region 11 is preferably formed with a smaller or narrower cross section than the expansion element 10. This can also be achieved in such a way that the insertion legs 28 of the expansion element 10 are preferably arranged at a larger angle 30 to each other than the support leg 12 of the base body 16 to the Anpressschenkel 13th

In essence, furthermore, the support leg 12 and / or the insertion leg 28 of the expansion element 10 supporting the support leg 12 in the mounting position are angularly formed relative to the normal 31 on the base 15 (FIG. Fig. 3 ).

It should be noted that all these angles can not necessarily be formed over the entire surface, but also only over a portion of these surfaces. By the degree of angular arrangement to each other and the degree of power diversion or redirection of the force effect can be defined or adjusted.

As already stated, by the fixed, position-secured spacing of the glass holder 2 by means of the engaging in the groove 21 support legs 20 and the formation of the receiving area 11 and the corresponding expansion element 10 on site a variety of customization options possible. These adjustments can be achieved for example by the angular arrangement between the base body 16 and expansion element 10, the guide direction for the fastening element 14, the selected Hebelarmlängen, in particular the contact leg 13, or in the choice of materials used.

Ultimately, for example, the contact pressure of the pressing leg 13 or the protective / sealing layer 9, the arm length of the pressing leg 13 and the extent of change in the contact pressure on the filling element 1 in relation to the insertion depth of the expansion element 10 in the receiving area 11, so the relationship between mounting or screw-on width to the pivoting width of the pressing leg 13, varies or be adapted to the mounting purpose or the intended types of frame 3, but the assembly always remains the same. With releasable attachment of the expansion element 10 on the base body 16, the assembly thus takes place by merely screwing in the fastening means 14.

In the 3 and 4 is the pivoting of the pressing leg 13 in the direction of the filling element 1 during insertion of the expansion element 10 in the receiving area 11 better visible, wherein FIG. 3 and FIG. 4 show each different insertion and thus contact positions.

In Fig. 3 the expansion element 10 is shown partially inserted from the opening of the receiving area 11 in the direction of the base 15. The positioning and fixing is achieved via a fastening means 14, in the present embodiment, a screw (not shown), whereby the expansion element 10 is held in its position. By concerns of the expansion element 10 on the support leg 12 and the Anpressschenkel 13, a Wegspreizen or pivoting of the Anpressschenkels 13 is achieved upon adjustment of the fastener 14.

The Anpressschenkel 13 is preferably structurally weaker than or not as dimensionally stable as the support leg 12 is formed. This is achieved in the concrete embodiment by means of a recess 32. Equally, however, other measures can be taken to ensure the pivoting of the pressing leg 13, such as built-in vulnerabilities, different material, different material thicknesses or reinforcements in the support leg 12, etc.

If the fastening means 14, in particular the screw, further tightened, there is a further pivoting of the pressing leg 13, as in Fig. 3 represented, whereby a stronger force on the filling element 1 and a stronger contact pressure of the contact surface 6 are achieved on the filling element 1. In Fig. 4 In this case, the preferred end position is shown, it being apparent that a free space 36 is or can be present between the base 15 and the expansion element 10. This ensures that at a later date, for example in the event of shrinkage, a subsequent fastening or screwing and thus a new fixing of the glass holder 2 or increasing the contact pressure on the filling element 1 is possible.

Due to the adjustable distance or screw-in depth 37 between the expansion element 10 and the base 15, the contact pressure of the contact surface 6 on the filling element 1 can be metered.

Due to the material-related restoring forces of the profile formed by the pressing and supporting legs (13, 12), the contact pressure of the contact surface 6 on the filling element 1 can not only be increased via the fastening means 14, but also released again. This is done when choosing a screw as a fastening means 14 such that increases by tightening the screw of the contact pressure and is reduced by loosening the screw again. In this way, the individual profiles or wearing parts or the filling element 1, in particular the glass pane, can be exchanged in a simple manner, without any parts or elements used being destroyed. Such wear parts are for example silicone gaskets or silicone foam gaskets, which are used in particular for dry glazing to achieve the tightness of the transitions between the frame 3 or the individual profiles and the filling element 1. These are preferably formed deformable to ensure a flat abutment on the filling element 1, in particular upon application of force in the direction of the filling element 1 or pressure in this direction. Especially due to material-related shrinkage and weather-related effects, such as sun rain, etc., it can in the long run to leaky profiles or come. These phenomena can be counteracted by the Nachjustierbarkeit the glass holder 2 in a simple manner and the tightness can be restored. Preferably, however, due to glass breakage usually the filling element 1, in particular the glass, even replaced.

In order to allow even further shifts or pivoting of the pressing leg 13, if necessary, the expansion element 10 may for example be more angled or formed overall larger or subsequently be replaced by a larger or differently oriented expansion element 10. Further pivoting paths may be required, for example, due to material shrinkage or weathering influences, or tolerances of the filling element, in particular of the glass element, which are carried out above. Equally, however, this can also be counteracted unusually to the window flight oblique frame structures or frame 3 and the glass holder 2 are also used on such a frame 3 for fixing the filling element 1.

At the in Fig. 2 to 4 shown glass holders 2 which is applied to the frame 3 and frame profile base 15 is formed longer than in Fig. 1 to illustrate that the base length is variable executable, the length of the base 15 can be substantially matched to the respective frame 3 and the frame profile and / or on the trim profile 18.

For example, wooden frame blanks are offered on the market with, inter alia, 74 mm. These wooden frame blanks are normally planed to 68 mm, from which a window of type IV68 is produced. This is currently a very common window type on the market. But it is also possible to plan this 74-blanks only to 70 mm. With the 70 mm profile, a soundproof window with 44 mm soundproof glass can be produced. However, only about 18 mm remain on the inside for the glass strip, as inside 6 mm gap air are required. A flush glass strip is not possible in this very popular combination for wood and wood / aluminum constructions in the prior art solutions, the glass holder 2 according to the invention can be used here, however, since a correspondingly compact design can be created and simultaneously generates sufficient contact force can be.

It should also be mentioned that the expansion element 10, which has the cross-sectional shape of an upside-down trapezoid in the illustrated embodiment, in principle, may be formed in a variety of cross-sectionally tapering at least on one side geometric shapes, such as wedge-shaped, triangular or polygonal, etc. or Similar to V or U shape. In the same way, the U-profile-like receptacle of the glass holder 2 for the expansion element 10 can have a wide variety of cross-sectional shapes, which consist of two legs and are formed parallel or angularly opening in the direction of insertion of the expansion element 10.

Essentially, the receiving area and / or the expansion element 10 is formed angularly over at least one partial area in order to achieve a contact pressure on the contact surface 6 and thus a force on the or in the direction of filling element. 1

In the Fig. 2 to 4 embodiment shown thus represents only a preferred embodiment, wherein other types are possible, in which either the receiving portion 11 is formed over at least a portion of angularly opening and / or the expansion element 10 is formed over at least a portion tapering angle. Some of these remarks are later ( Fig. 6 to 10 ).

An expanding force in the direction of the filling element 1 can be achieved according to the invention even if the pressing leg 13 of the U-shaped receiving area 11 is omitted and instead the spreading element 10 bears directly against the filling element 1 (FIG. Fig. 10 ). In this case, preferably on or in the support leg 12th Guide means 33 ( Fig. 10 ), in particular guide grooves or guide projections, on or molded, on which the expansion element 10 is guided with corresponding guide means 33, in particular guide grooves or guide projections. The fixation of the expansion element 10 on the support leg 12 is in turn releasably formed.

The guide of the expansion element 10 thus takes place along a, to the frame 3 in the direction of filling element 1 ramp-shaped and spaced from the filling element 1 support surface 34 of the support leg 12th

In the Fig. 5 an embodiment of the glass holder 2 is shown without support feet 20 for attachment of the glass holder 2 to the frame 3 or frame profiles, where, for example, no groove 21 is provided.

In Fig. 6 a further embodiment of the glass holder 2 is shown, wherein the expansion element 10 is connected via an elastic or flexible connection 38, in particular a tab, with the base body 16. By the flexible connection 38, a one-piece arrangement of the expansion element 10 is achieved on the base body 16 and moved by tilting or pivoting of the expansion element 10 in the receiving area 11 and attachment of the expansion element 10 of the Anpressschenkel 13 in the direction of filling element 1, wherein the flexible connection 38 now at the assembly is not separated from the base body 16. The elastic flexible connection 38 is fastened in the illustrated embodiment in the upper region of the support leg, wherein such attachment can be done as well on the press-on leg or in the receiving area 11, in particular on the base 15. By using an elastic or flexible connection, the attachment to the base 15 in the receiving area 11, for example, carried out so that expansion element 10 is already held under a certain bias in the receiving area 11, which eliminates the insertion of the expansion element 10 during mounting and on the leg position of the Spreading element 10 and the receiving area limiting Anpressschenkel 13 and support legs 12 a predetermined positioning is made possible. The flexible connection 38 is preferably attached to the upper side of the base 15 in the receiving area 11 on the one hand and on the underside of the spreader 10. Upon selection of a rubber-like flexible connection 38 can be so by slightly pulling or lifting the expansion element 10 from the receiving area 11, the bias reduced or released and the glass holder 2 anschießend be positioned in the groove 21, whereby the Letting go of the expansion of the glass holder 2 in turn assumes its biasing position and so the filling element 1 is held in its position even before fastening by means of the fastening means 14 and the screw by the bias.

Fig. 7 show an embodiment of the glass holder 2 in two separate components, namely the base body 16 and separate spreader 10. Such a structure serves, for example, a greater flexibility in the delivery and assembly. It is thus possible, for example, to insert spreading elements 10 of different sizes into the base body 16 or its receiving area 11 in order to preferably control the pivoting distance, for example when mounting on special shapes of frame 3.

In the 8 and 9 another embodiment variant of the glass holder 2 with a substantially triangular or V-shaped receiving portion 11 and a corresponding expansion element 10 is shown. The base 15 is shown for illustrative purposes shorter than, for example, in Fig. 2 to 4 Especially since 18 different dimensions are possible depending on the frame 3 and / or trim profile.

Fig. 8 represents the original position, in which the expansion element 10 is preferably via a predetermined breaking point 35 in the receiving area 11, in particular in the upper region of the support leg 12 and / or Anpressschenkels 13, attached.

Fig. 9 on the other hand, the preferred end position of the expansion element 10 and of the pressing leg 13 pivoted in the direction of filling element 1. The fastening means 14 is preferably thread-like, in particular designed as a screw, wherein the fastening means 14 is aligned substantially parallel to the support surface 34, to smooth as possible sliding along the support leg 12 to achieve. Again, in turn, the angle between Anpressschenkel 13 and support legs 12 and the insertion leg 28 of the expander 10 - as shown - chosen so that the Anpressschenkel 13 is pivoted towards the filling element 1 and held on the contact surface 6, the filling element 1 and fixed. The attachment or screwing and the different dimensional stability, in particular stronger training of the support leg 12 in relation to the Anpressschenkel 13, provide a reliable Pivoting in the desired direction, wherein the expansion element 10 supports the Anpressschenkel in its position and fixed.

In the preferred end position ( Fig. 9 ) is the contact surface 6, on which preferably a protective / sealing layer 9 (not shown) is applied, aligned parallel to the filling element 1, in the receiving area 11 is still a free space 36 for the subsequent readjustment and closes the expansion element 10 flush with the top the receiving area or with the support and / or Anpressschenkeln 12, 13 from.

Fig. 10 Finally, shows a variant in which the Anpressschenkel 13 is formed directly by the spreader 10. In this case, the guide of the expansion element 10 along the support leg 12 and the support surface 34 of the support leg 12. Preferably, in such a design of the glass holder 2 and the receiving portion 11 and expander 10 extending the force-applying surfaces and means in approximately the same angle. That means that - like out Fig. 10 can be seen - preferably the arranged on the base body 16 support surface 34 and the adjoining insertion leg 28 of the expansion element 10 and the particular thread-like fastening means 14 include substantially the same angle to the filling element 1. Due to the tapering towards the base 15 training of the support leg 12 and the support surface 34 and preferably in the direction of the filling element 1 angularly or slightly obliquely extending fasteners displacement in the direction of filling element 1 and a contact pressure on the contact surface 6 is again achieved. Here, too, a free space 36 between expansion element 10 and base 15 for possible readjustment or readjustment preferably remains.

For better guidance, guide means 33 can be formed on or in the support leg 12 and correspondingly on or in the expansion element 10, and / or the expansion element 10 is positioned on the base body 16 in the initial position via a predetermined breaking point 35 (not shown) be.

Of course it is also possible, the support surface 34, the fastening means 14 and the support surface 34 supported on the surface of the insertion leg 28 on the expansion element 10 with divergent angles in relation to the filling element 1 form. Such training is given, for example, if - based on the presentation and location in Fig. 10 - The spreader 10 at its upper right end is pivotally connected to the support leg 12 of the base body 16 via this point. In such a construction, in which the expansion element 10 via a rotatable or pivotable fixation, for example, a flexible connection 38 (as in Fig. 6 ), is connected at the upper right corner with the base body 16, eliminates the sliding of the expansion element 10 along the support surface 34 and thus also the same angular arrangement described above, since the screw in this case, for example, normal to the frame 3 and parallel to the filling element. 1 can be screwed into the frame 3. Thus, the arrangement of guide means 33 can be omitted and it is also sufficient if only a portion of the insertion leg 28 comes to rest on the support surface 34 after the expansion element 10 has pivoted into the receiving region 11.

The assembly is carried out such that the expansion element 10 is pivoted into the receiving area 11 and then screwed, wherein the fact that the expansion element 10 is formed larger in cross section than the receiving area 11, a contact pressure on the contact surface 6 on the filling element 1 is achieved. When spaced by a free space 36 in the preferred end position can be achieved by further fixing or screwing the fastener readjustment.

It should be noted that the glass holder 2 is preferably made of plastic, in particular an injection molded part, so that a one-piece design with attached expansion element 10 is advantageous. Of course, it is also possible that other materials can be used or that in a two-part design, different materials, for example, a molded plastic base 16 and a metal spreader 10 is used.

Of course, it is possible that in the embodiments described above, the glass holder 2 according to the invention, in particular the expansion element 10, is always completely screwed in, so that the maximum contact pressure is achieved. In order to meet the static requirements in such dry glazing, every 20 to 25 cm, a glass holder 2 must be mounted, whereby a simple handling for the glass holder 2 is necessary to ensure rapid assembly.

It is also possible with the glass holder 2 according to the invention that a non-destructive disassembly and reassembly of the cladding profile 18, in particular a glazing bead, takes place, as described in e.g. is necessary for glass replacement. It is advantageous that, in particular for cladding profiles 18 or glazing beads made of wood, a consistent surface color is maintained. The glazing bead is attached without pressure when using the glass holder 2. The glass holder 2 assumes the static requirements, in particular the generation of the contact pressure, so that the trim profile 18, in particular the glass strip, only provides for the optical termination, which can be easily plugged or removed on the plug-in extensions 17. The cladding profile 18 can also be manufactured in different variants.

The glass holder 2 according to the invention ("preferably with the product name of the applicant G-Fix 02") has significant advantages over the prior art, in particular its own application WO 2015/143462 A1 the first development stage "G-Fix or G-Fix 01". By the support leg 20, which comes into the groove 21, the glass holder 2 holds by itself in the groove 21, after it has been used. Both hands of the mechanic are now free for the fastener 14, in particular the screw, and the cordless screwdriver. Likewise, the horizontal position of the glass holder 2 is fixed. This ensures a constant distance from the frame inner edge, ie the frame 3, and the glazing bead, in particular the trim profile 18, can then be mounted flush and perfectly flush with the frame 3. This avoids a wavy mounted trim profile 18, in particular a glazing bead, which is often the cause of complaints.

In principle, when producing a contact pressure in the previously described embodiments, it is essential that the glass holder 2 pushes or presses the filling element 1, in particular the glass pane, outwards against the outer shell 4, in particular against the outer outer seal, in particular the silicone foam seal, so that the outer seal absorb the tolerances of the filling element 1 and can seal against wind pressure and rain, so that no water between the filling element 1 and the outer seal can penetrate, ie that at a contact pressure of the glass holder 2, the contact pressure via the filling element 1 is forwarded to the outer seal, so they are so is deformed that a secure abutment and sealing on the filling element 1 is ensured, for which purpose a considerable contact pressure must be generated in order to accommodate the tolerances of the filling element 1 of up to +/- 1.2mm and can to counteract acting wind forces. The seal arranged on the inside again serves to prevent water from penetrating during the cleaning of the filling element 1, with inner sides where the requirements are not so high, since no wind pressure can occur here.

For the sake of order, it should finally be pointed out that, for a better understanding of the structure of the fixation in frame 3, the profiles and the glass holder 2 together with the expansion element and components or components thereof have been shown partially unevenly and / or enlarged and / or reduced.

Furthermore, individual features or combinations of features from the illustrated and described different embodiments may form separate, inventive or inventive solutions.
