Description

Die Erfindung betrifft einen elastischen Abstandshalter für einen Fensterrahmen, der zu einer Anordnung in einem Spalt zwischen dem Fensterrahmen und einer Fensterzarge vorgesehen ist. Bei einem Einbau eines Fensters ohne Fensterzarge kann der Abstandshalter auch in einem Spalt zwischen dem Fensterrahmen und einer Fensterlaibung, also einer zum Einbau eines Fensters vorgesehenen Maueröffnung, angeordnet werden. Des Weiteren betrifft die Erfindung die Anordnung des Abstandshalters in dem Spalt zwischen dem Fensterrahmen und der Fensterzarge, und ein Verfahren zur Anordnung solcher Abstandshalter in dem Spalt zwischen dem Fensterrahmen und der Fensterzarge.The invention relates to an elastic spacer for a window frame, which is provided for arrangement in a gap between the window frame and a window frame. When installing a window without a window frame, the spacer can also be arranged in a gap between the window frame and a window reveal, that is to say a wall opening provided for installing a window. The invention further relates to the arrangement of the spacer in the gap between the window frame and the window frame, and a method for the arrangement of such spacers in the gap between the window frame and the window frame.

US 3 041 678 A und GB 2 526 592 A offenbaren elastische Abstandshalter zur Anordnung zwischen einem Fensterrahmen und einer Fensterzarge. US 3,041,678 A and GB 2 526 592 A disclose elastic spacers for placement between a window frame and a window frame.

Mit "Fensterrahmen" ist hier ein fest in beispielsweise eine Fensterlaibung einzubauender Rahmen gemeint, und nicht ein eine Glasscheibe fassender Rahmen, der schwenk- und/oder kippbar oder fest in den fest in beispielsweise der Fensterlaibung eingebauten Fensterrahmen eingesetzt wird. Solche fest in beispielsweise eine Fensterlaibung einzubauende Fensterrahmen werden üblicherweise als Fensterzargen bezeichnet, hier jedoch als Fensterrahmen zur Unterscheidung von einer Fensterzarge, die den Fensterrahmen umschließend in oder an einer Fensterlaibung angebracht wird. Auch umfasst der Begriff "Fensterrahmen" hier Türrahmen."Window frame" here means a frame to be permanently installed in, for example, a window reveal, and not a frame that holds a glass pane, which can be swiveled and / or tilted or fixedly inserted into the window frame permanently installed in, for example, the window reveal. Such window frames that are to be permanently installed in a window reveal, for example, are usually referred to as window frames, but here as window frames to distinguish them from a window frame that is attached to the window frame in or on a window reveal. The term "window frame" here also includes door frames.

Die Fensterzarge ist ein den Fensterrahmen mit einem Spalt umschließender Rahmen, der beispielsweise aus T- oder L-Profilen zusammengesetzt ist. Er dient in Wärmedämmverbundsystemen (WDVS) dazu, ein Fenster in einer Dämmebene einer Wand zu befestigen. Die Profile der Fensterzarge sind an einem tragenden Teil der Wand befestigt und ragen in eine Fensterlaibung in der Dämmstoffebene. Als "tragender Teil" einer Wand wird hier ein beispielsweise gemauerter oder betonierter Teil der Wand bezeichnet, der ausreichend fest ist, um ein Fenster zu tragen, und der nicht Dämmstoff ist.The window frame is a frame enclosing the window frame with a gap, which is composed, for example, of T or L profiles. In thermal insulation composite systems (ETICS), it is used to fasten a window in an insulation level of a wall. The profiles of the window frame are attached to a load-bearing part of the wall and protrude into a window reveal in the insulation level. As "supporting Part "of a wall is here a part of the wall, for example bricked or concreted, which is sufficiently firm to support a window and which is not insulating material.

Der Fensterrahmen muss mit einem umlaufenden und vorzugsweise auf allen Seiten gleich breiten Spalt in der Fensterzarge angeordnet werden. Aufgabe der Erfindung ist, einen Abstandshalter und ein Verfahren für die Montage eines Fensterrahmens mit einem umlaufenden Spalt in einer Fensterzarge vorzuschlagen.The window frame must be arranged in the window frame with a circumferential gap, preferably the same width on all sides. The object of the invention is to propose a spacer and a method for the assembly of a window frame with a circumferential gap in a window frame.

Diese Aufgabe wird erfindungsgemäß durch die Merkmale des Anspruchs 1 gelöst. Der erfindungsgemäße Abstandshalter mit den Merkmalen des Anspruchs 1 ist elastisch und weist eine erste Anlagefläche zu einer Anlage an einer Fensterzarge und eine zweite Anlagefläche zur Anlage an einem Fensterrahmen auf. Vorzugsweise sind die beiden Anlageflächen einander abgewandt und parallel zueinander. Durch seine Elastizität lässt sich der Abstandshalter so verformen, dass sich ein Abstand der beiden Anlageflächen voneinander ändert. Dadurch passt sich der Abstand der Anlageflächen des Abstandshalters an eine Breite eines Spalts zwischen dem Fensterrahmen und der Fensterzarge an, wenn der Abstandshalter mit seiner ersten Anlagefläche an der Fensterzarge und mit seiner zweiten Anlagefläche am Fensterrahmen in dem Spalt zwischen dem Fensterrahmen und der Fensterzarge angeordnet wird bzw. ist. Werden gleich viele Abstandshalter auf gegenüberliegenden Seiten des Fensterrahmens in dem Spalt zwischen dem Fensterrahmen und der Fensterzarge angeordnet, richten sie den Fensterrahmen mit gleicher Spaltbreite auf beiden Seiten in der Fensterzarge aus. Werden gleich viele Abstandshalter oben und unten in einem Spalt zwischen einem Fensterrahmen und einer Fensterzarge angeordnet, ist aufgrund eines Gewichts des Fensterrahmens ein Spalt zwischen dem Fensterrahmen und der Fensterzarge oben etwas größer als unten, was normalerweise nicht stört. Zum Ausgleich kann eventuell unten im Spalt ein oder mehrere Abstandshalter mehr als oben angeordnet werden.This object is achieved according to the invention by the features of claim 1. The spacer according to the invention with the features of claim 1 is elastic and has a first contact surface for contact with a window frame and a second contact surface for contact with a window frame. The two contact surfaces are preferably facing away from one another and parallel to one another. Thanks to its elasticity, the spacer can be deformed in such a way that the distance between the two contact surfaces changes. As a result, the spacing of the contact surfaces of the spacer adjusts to a width of a gap between the window frame and the window frame if the spacer is arranged with its first contact surface on the window frame and with its second contact surface on the window frame in the gap between the window frame and the window frame or is. If the same number of spacers is arranged on opposite sides of the window frame in the gap between the window frame and the window frame, they align the window frame with the same gap width on both sides in the window frame. If the same number of spacers are arranged at the top and bottom in a gap between a window frame and a window frame, a gap between the window frame and the window frame at the top is slightly larger than at the bottom due to the weight of the window frame, which normally does not bother. To compensate, one or more spacers may be arranged at the bottom of the gap than at the top.

Die Anlageflächen des erfindungsgemäßen Abstandshalters sind mindestens doppelt so lang wie ihr Abstand voneinander. Durch eine ausreichende Länge der Anlageflächen wird einem Kippen des Abstandshalters im Spalt zwischen einem Fensterrahmen und einer Fensterzarge entgegengewirkt. Eine Ausgestaltung der Erfindung sieht vor, dass die Anlageflächen mindestens 40 mm lang sind. Eine weitere Ausgestaltung der Erfindung sieht vor, dass die Anlageflächen mindestens halb oder 2/3 so lang sind wie ein typischer Fensterrahmen dick ist, für dessen Montage in einer Fensterzarge oder in einer Fensterlaibung der Abstandshalter vorgesehen ist. Als typische Dicke eines heutzutage üblichen Fensterrahmens eines Mehrscheiben-Isolierglasfensters werden 6 bis 8 cm, eventuell auch 5 cm, normalerweise aber nicht weniger als 4 cm oder auch 10 cm und selten mehr angesehen. Wie erwähnt ist der fest in eine Fensterlaibung eingebaute Fensterrahmen und nicht ein schwenk- und/oder kippbar eingesetzter, Isolierglas fassender Rahmen gemeint. Die in diesem Absatz genannten Längenangaben für die Anlageflächen des Abstandshalters können einander aus- oder einschließen.The contact surfaces of the spacer according to the invention are at least twice as long as their distance from one another. A sufficient length of the contact surfaces counteracts tilting of the spacer in the gap between a window frame and a window frame. An embodiment of the invention provides that the contact surfaces are at least 40 mm long. A further embodiment of the invention provides that the contact surfaces are at least half or 2/3 as long as a typical window frame is thick, for which the spacer is provided in a window frame or in a window reveal. As a typical thickness one Window frames of a multi-pane insulating glass window that are common today are viewed from 6 to 8 cm, possibly also 5 cm, but normally not less than 4 cm or also 10 cm and rarely more. As mentioned, the window frame fixed in a window reveal and not a pivotable and / or tiltable inserted insulating glass frame is meant. The length specifications for the contact surfaces of the spacer mentioned in this paragraph can exclude or include one another.

Eine Ausgestaltung der Erfindung sieht vor, dass der Abstandshalter zwei voneinander beabstandete Leisten aufweist, deren einander abgewandte Flächen die beiden Anlageflächen für die Fensterzarge einerseits und den Fensterrahmen andererseits bilden. Die einander abgewandten und die Anlageflächen bildenden Flächen der beiden Leisten sind vorzugsweise parallel zueinander. Unter "Leisten" sind insbesondere ebene und streifenförmige Elemente mit vorzugsweise über ihre Länge gleichbleibendem, rechteckigem Querschnitt zu verstehen, die länger als breit und breiter als dick und insbesondere ein Mehrfaches länger als breit und/oder ein Mehrfaches breiter als dick sind. Um den Abstand der Anlageflächen durch elastische Verformung des Abstandshalters zu verändern, sind die beiden voneinander beabstandete Leisten durch elastisch verformbare Verbinder verbunden. Die Verbinder können beispielsweise schräg zu den Leisten angeordnet und/oder von einer Seite des Abstandshalters gesehen S-förmig sein und vergleichbar Blattfedern durch elastische Biegung der Verbinder einen Abstand der beiden Leisten und damit der beiden Anlageflächen ändern. Allgemein können die elastisch verformbaren Verbinder auch als Federelemente aufgefasst werden.An embodiment of the invention provides that the spacer has two spaced strips, the surfaces of which face away from one another and form the two contact surfaces for the window frame on the one hand and the window frame on the other. The surfaces of the two strips facing away from one another and forming the contact surfaces are preferably parallel to one another. "Laths" are to be understood in particular as flat and strip-shaped elements with a rectangular cross-section that is preferably constant over their length, which are longer than wide and wider than thick and in particular several times longer than wide and / or several times wider than thick. In order to change the spacing of the contact surfaces due to the elastic deformation of the spacer, the two spaced strips are connected by elastically deformable connectors. The connectors can, for example, be arranged obliquely to the strips and / or be S-shaped when viewed from one side of the spacer and, similarly to leaf springs, can change a distance between the two strips and thus the two contact surfaces by means of elastic bending of the connectors. In general, the elastically deformable connectors can also be understood as spring elements.

Damit die beiden Anlageflächen des Abstandshalters immer einen Mindestabstand voneinander aufweisen, sieht eine Weiterbildung der Erfindung einen oder mehrere Distanzhalter vor, der oder die die beiden Leisten in einem Mindestabstand voneinander halten.So that the two contact surfaces of the spacer are always at a minimum distance from one another, a development of the invention provides one or more spacers which keep the two strips at a minimum distance from one another.

Zu einer Vereinfachung der Montage sieht die Erfindung eine mechanische Steckvorrichtung vor, mit der der Abstandshalter auf einen Flansch einer Fensterzarge gesteckt werden kann, so dass seine erste Anlagefläche an dem Flansch der Fensterzarge anliegt. Als Flansch wird ein streifenförmiger Teil einer Fensterzarge mit einer Dicke von etwa 2 bis 3 mm bezeichnet, der in einem Wärmedämmverbundsystem (WDVS) senkrecht zu einer Wand in eine Fensterlaibung einer Dämmschicht ragt. Die Steckvorrichtung des Abstandshalters lässt sich so auf den Flansch der Fensterzarge stecken, dass die erste Anlagefläche des Abstandshalters auf einer Innenseite der Fensterzarge an dem Flansch anliegt und sich die zweite Anlagefläche mit Abstand von dem Flansch der Fensterzarge auf der Innenseite der Fensterzarge befindet.To simplify assembly, the invention provides a mechanical plug-in device with which the spacer can be plugged onto a flange of a window frame, so that its first contact surface lies against the flange of the window frame. A flange is a strip-shaped part of a window frame with a thickness of about 2 to 3 mm that projects perpendicularly to a wall in a window reveal of an insulation layer in a thermal insulation composite system. The plug-in device of the spacer can thus be placed on the Insert the flange of the window frame so that the first contact surface of the spacer on the inside of the window frame lies against the flange and the second contact surface is at a distance from the flange of the window frame on the inside of the window frame.

Die Erfindung sieht eine Federklemme als mechanische Steckvorrichtung vor. Die Federklemme weist insbesondere die Form eines elastischen, U-förmigen Bügels auf, der klemmend auf einen Flansch einer Fensterzarge gesteckt werden kann.The invention provides a spring clip as a mechanical connector. The spring clip has in particular the shape of an elastic, U-shaped bracket, which can be clamped on a flange of a window frame.

Als Einführhilfe sieht eine Ausgestaltung der Erfindung vor, dass eine oder beide Anlageflächen an einem Ende des Abstandshalters zu einander hin verlaufen, ihren Abstand also verringern. Durch die Einführhilfe lässt sich der Abstandshalter einfach in einen Spalt zwischen einem Fensterrahmen und einer den Fensterrahmen umschließenden Fensterzarge stecken oder der Fensterrahmen in die Fensterzarge einsetzen, wenn ein oder mehrere Abstandshalter an verschiedenen Stellen an einem Umfang des Fensterrahmens oder der Fensterzarge angeordnet, beispielsweise mit einer mechanischen Steckvorrichtung aufgesteckt, sind.As an insertion aid, an embodiment of the invention provides that one or both contact surfaces at one end of the spacer run towards one another, ie reduce their distance. With the insertion aid, the spacer can easily be inserted into a gap between a window frame and a window frame surrounding the window frame, or the window frame can be inserted into the window frame if one or more spacers are arranged at different locations on a circumference of the window frame or the window frame, for example with one mechanical plug-in device are attached.

Eine Ausgestaltung der Erfindung sieht einen Anschlag an einem Ende einer der beiden Anlageflächen vor, der auf einer Außenseite des Abstandshalters von der Anlagefläche absteht. Die "Außenseite" ist der jeweils anderen Anlagefläche abgewandt. Diese Ausgestaltung der Erfindung verhindert, dass ein Fensterrahmen beim Einsetzen in eine Fensterzarge durch die Fensterzarge durch bewegt wird und auf einer gegenüberliegenden Seite herausfällt. Der Anschlag ist insbesondere gegenüber einer Einführhilfe, wie sie oben genannt ist, bezüglich der Längserstreckung der Anlageflächen angeordnet.One embodiment of the invention provides a stop at one end of one of the two contact surfaces, which stops on the outside of the spacer from the contact surface. The "outside" faces away from the other contact surface. This embodiment of the invention prevents a window frame from being moved through the window frame when inserted into a window frame and falling out on an opposite side. The stop is arranged in particular with respect to an insertion aid, as mentioned above, with respect to the longitudinal extent of the contact surfaces.

Der erfindungsgemäße Abstandshalter ist vorzugsweise einstückig aus Kunststoff hergestellt.The spacer according to the invention is preferably made in one piece from plastic.

Eine Ausgestaltung der Erfindung sieht die Anordnung eines Abstandshalters der vorstehend erläuterten Art in einem Spalt zwischen einem Fensterrahmen und einer den Fensterrahmen umschließenden Fensterzarge vor. Vorzugsweise sind mehrere Abstandshalter in dem Spalt angeordnet, insbesondere jeweils zwei oder bei größeren Fensterrahmen mehr Abstandshalter auf beiden Seiten des Fensterrahmens und/oder jeweils zwei oder mehr Abstandshalter oben und unten. Die Abstandshalter richten den Fensterrahmen seitlich und in einer Höhe in der Fensterzarge aus.One embodiment of the invention provides for the arrangement of a spacer of the type explained above in a gap between a window frame and a window frame surrounding the window frame. A plurality of spacers are preferably arranged in the gap, in particular two or, in the case of larger window frames, more spacers on both sides of the window frame and / or two or more spacers at the top and bottom. The spacers align the window frame laterally and at a height in the window frame.

Vorzugsweise weisen die Abstandshalter mechanische Steckvorrichtungen auf, wie sie oben erläutert worden sind, und sind bzw. werden auf einen Flansch der Fensterzarge gesteckt, bevor der Fensterrahmen in die Fensterzarge eingesetzt wird. Die Abstandshalter halten den Fensterrahmen durch Reibung in der Fensterzarge, was auch für Ausführungen ohne mechanische Steckvorrichtung gilt. Der Fensterrahmen kann durch Verschieben senkrecht zu einer von ihm aufgespannten Fläche und durch Schwenken um eine Quer- und/oder Hochachse in der Fensterzarge ausgerichtet werden.The spacers preferably have mechanical plug devices, as have been explained above, and are or are plugged onto a flange of the window frame before the window frame is inserted into the window frame. The spacers hold the window frame by friction in the window frame, which also applies to versions without a mechanical plug-in device. The window frame can be aligned in the window frame by moving perpendicular to a surface spanned by it and by pivoting about a transverse and / or vertical axis.

Eine Ausgestaltung der Erfindung sieht vor, dass der Fensterrahmen mit Schrauben in der Fensterzarge befestigt wird, wenn er in die Fensterzarge mit den Abstandshaltern eingesetzt und ausgerichtet worden ist. Zu einem Verfüllen des Spalts zwischen dem Fensterrahmen und der Fensterzarge werden die Abstandshalter gemäß einer Ausgestaltung des erfindungsgemäßen Verfahrens aus dem Spalt entfernt, wenn der Fensterrahmen mit Schrauben in der Fensterzarge befestigt worden ist.An embodiment of the invention provides that the window frame is fastened with screws in the window frame when it has been inserted and aligned in the window frame with the spacers. In order to fill the gap between the window frame and the window frame, the spacers are removed from the gap according to an embodiment of the method according to the invention when the window frame has been fastened with screws in the window frame.

Die Erfindung wird nachfolgend anhand eines in der Zeichnung dargestellten Ausführungsbeispiels näher erläutert. Es zeigen:

The invention is explained in more detail below with reference to an embodiment shown in the drawing. Show it:
Figure 1
a spacer according to the invention in a perspective view; and
Figure 2
a window frame in a window frame with two spacers Figure 1 in a gap between the window frame and the window frame according to the invention in a perspective view in a different viewing direction than in Figure 1 .

Der in Figur 1 dargestellte, erfindungsgemäße Abstandshalter 1 ist einstückig beispielsweise durch Spritzgießen aus Kunststoff hergestellt. Er weist zwei in einem Abstand voneinander und parallel zueinander angeordnete Leisten 2 auf, die durch Stege miteinander verbunden sind, die hier als Verbinder 3 bezeichnet werden. Von einer Seite auf den Abstandshalter 1 gesehen verlaufen die Verbinder 3 S-förmig und können auch als Federelemente oder Blattfedern aufgefasst werden, die durch elastische Verformung eine Änderung eines Abstands der beiden Leisten 2 ermöglichen. Die Verbinder könnten beispielsweise auch gerade und schräg zu den Leisten 2 sein (nicht dargestellt).The in Figure 1 The spacer 1 according to the invention shown is produced in one piece, for example by injection molding, from plastic. It has two strips 2 arranged at a distance from one another and parallel to one another, which are connected to one another by webs, which are referred to here as connectors 3. Seen from one side of the spacer 1, the connectors 3 run in an S-shape and can also be understood as spring elements or leaf springs, which allow a change in the spacing of the two strips 2 by elastic deformation. The connectors could, for example, also be straight and oblique to the strips 2 (not shown).

Die Leisten 2 weisen über ihre gesamte Länge einen gleichbleibenden, niedrigen Rechteckquerschnitt auf, sie sind ein Mehrfaches länger als breit und ein Mehrfaches breiter als dick. Einander abgewandte Außenflächen der beiden Leisten 2 bilden zwei Anlageflächen 4, 5 für eine Fensterzarge 14 und für einen Fensterrahmen 13.The strips 2 have a constant, low rectangular cross section over their entire length, they are several times longer than wide and several times wider than thick. External surfaces of the two strips 2 facing away from one another form two contact surfaces 4, 5 for a window frame 14 and for a window frame 13.

Zwischen den Verbindern 3 stehen von einer der beiden Leisten 2 Rippen als Distanzhalter 6 in Richtung der anderen Leiste 2 ab, die die beiden Leisten 2 und damit die Anlageflächen 4, 5 in einem Mindestabstand voneinander halten.Between the connectors 3 there are 2 ribs from one of the two strips as spacers 6 in the direction of the other strip 2, which hold the two strips 2 and thus the contact surfaces 4, 5 at a minimum distance from one another.

An einem Ende des Abstandshalters 1 verlaufen die beiden Leisten 2 bogenförmig aufeinander zu, wobei bogenförmige Abschnitte der Leisten 2 eine Einführhilfe 7 des Abstandshalters 1 bilden.At one end of the spacer 1, the two strips 2 run towards each other in an arc shape, with arcuate sections of the strips 2 forming an insertion aid 7 of the spacer 1.

An einem anderen Ende des Abstandshalters 1 ist eine der beiden Leisten 2 rechtwinklig von der anderen Leiste weg abgewinkelt, wobei die Abwinklung einen Anschlag 8 des Abstandshalters 1 bildet.At another end of the spacer 1, one of the two strips 2 is angled at right angles away from the other strip, the angled portion forming a stop 8 of the spacer 1.

Am gleichen Ende des Abstandshalters 1 wie der Anschlag 8, also der Einführhilfe 7 gegenüber, weist die andere der beiden Leisten 2, die nicht den Anschlag 8 aufweist, eine mechanische Steckvorrichtung 9 in Form eines U-förmigen Bügels 10 auf, dessen einer Schenkel die Leiste 2 bildet und dessen anderer Schenkel 11 sich auf einer Außenseite dieser Leiste 2 befindet. Als "Außenseite" wird jeweils die Seite einer Leiste 2 bezeichnet, die den Verbindern 3 abgewandt sind. An einem freien Ende weist der Schenkel 11 der Steckvorrichtung 9 einen Widerhaken 12 auf. Die Steckvorrichtung 9 bzw. der U-förmigen Bügel 10 werden auch als Federklemme aufgefasst.At the same end of the spacer 1 as the stop 8, i.e. the insertion aid 7 opposite, the other of the two strips 2, which does not have the stop 8, has a mechanical plug-in device 9 in the form of a U-shaped bracket 10, one leg of which Forms bar 2 and the other leg 11 is located on an outside of this bar 2. The “outside” is the side of a strip 2 that faces away from the connectors 3. The leg 11 of the plug-in device 9 has a barb 12 at a free end. The plug device 9 or the U-shaped bracket 10 are also understood as a spring clip.

Wie in Figur 2 zu sehen, ist der Abstandshalter 1 bzw. sind mehrere solche Abstandshalter 1 zu einer Montage eines Fensterrahmens 13 in einer Fensterzarge 14 vorgesehen. Die Fensterzarge 14 dient einer Befestigung des Fensterrahmens 13 bzw. eines Fensters in einer Dämmebene einer nicht dargestellten Wand eines Wärmedämmverbundsystems (WDVS). Die Fensterzarge 14 ist in einer nicht dargestellten Fensterlaibung, also einer Wandöffnung für das Fenster, in der Dämmebene angeordnet. Im Ausführungsbeispiel ist die Fensterzarge 14 ein rechteckiger Rahmen aus L-Profilen aus Kunststoff.As in Figure 2 can be seen, the spacer 1 or several such spacers 1 are provided for mounting a window frame 13 in a window frame 14. The window frame 14 is used to fasten the window frame 13 or a window in an insulation level of a wall, not shown, of a thermal insulation composite system (ETICS). The window frame 14 is arranged in a window reveal, not shown, that is to say a wall opening for the window, in the insulation plane. In the exemplary embodiment, the window frame 14 is a rectangular frame made of L-profiles made of plastic.

Der Fensterrahmen 13 ist ein ebenfalls rechteckiger Rahmen aus Hohlkammerprofilen für ein im Übrigen nicht dargestelltes Mehrscheiben-Isolierglasfenster. Der Fensterrahmen 13 wird mittels der Fensterzarge 14 fest in der Fensterlaibung befestigt und in den Fensterrahmen 13 wird oder werden nach seiner Befestigung ein oder mehrere nicht dargestellte, schwenk- und/oder kippbare oder feststehende Rahmen eingesetzt, die Mehrscheiben-Isoliergläser fassen. Der Fensterrahmen 13 wird von der Fensterzarge 14 umschlossen, wobei allseitig ein Spalt 15 zwischen dem Fensterrahmen 13 und der Fensterzarge 14 besteht, in dem die Abstandshalter 1 angeordnet sind.The window frame 13 is also a rectangular frame made of hollow chamber profiles for a multi-pane insulating glass window, not otherwise shown. The window frame 13 is securely fastened in the window reveal by means of the window frame 14 and in the window frame 13, one or more, not shown, pivotable and / or tiltable or fixed frames are used, which hold multi-pane insulating glasses, after it has been fastened. The window frame 13 is enclosed by the window frame 14, wherein there is a gap 15 on all sides between the window frame 13 and the window frame 14, in which the spacers 1 are arranged.

Es werden links und rechts sowie oben und unten jeweils mindestens zwei Abstandshalter 1 in dem Spalt 15 zwischen dem Fensterrahmen 13 und der Fensterzarge 14 angeordnet. Zu einer Montage werden die Abstandshalter 1 mit ihren Steckvorrichtungen 9 auf einen Flansch 16 der Fensterzarge 14 gesteckt, so dass sie mit ihren ersten Anlageflächen 4 an einer Innenseite des Flanschs 16 anliegen. "Innenseite" bezieht sich auf die Fensterzarge 14. Als "Flansch" 16 wird ein zu einer von der Fensterzarge 14 aufgespannten Ebene senkrechter, streifenförmiger Schenkel der L-Profile bezeichnet, aus denen die Fensterzarge 14 zusammengesetzt ist. Beim Stecken der Steckvorrichtung 9 des Abstandshalters 1 auf den Flansch 16 der Fensterzarge 14 rastet der Widerhaken 12 der Steckvorrichtung 9 an einer in einer Längsrichtung des L-Profils verlaufenden Kante des Flanschs 16 der festen Fensterzarge 14 ein, die eine Hinterschneidung 17 bildet.At least two spacers 1 are arranged in the gap 15 between the window frame 13 and the window frame 14 on the left and right and above and below. For assembly, the spacers 1 are plugged with their plug devices 9 onto a flange 16 of the window frame 14, so that their first contact surfaces 4 rest against an inside of the flange 16. “Inner side” refers to the window frame 14. The “flange” 16 is a strip-shaped leg of the L-profile, which is perpendicular to a plane spanned by the window frame 14 and from which the window frame 14 is composed. When the plug device 9 of the spacer 1 is plugged onto the flange 16 of the window frame 14, the barb 12 of the plug device 9 engages on an edge of the flange 16 of the fixed window frame 14 which runs in a longitudinal direction of the L-profile and forms an undercut 17.

Wenn die Abstandshalter 1 an der Innenseite des Flanschs 16 der Fensterzarge 14 angeordnet sind, wird der Fensterrahmen 13 senkrecht zu der Fläche, die die Fensterzarge 14 aufspannt, in die Fensterzarge 14 eingebracht. Der Fensterrahmen 13 wird von der Seite eingebracht, auf der sich die Einführhilfen 7 der Abstandshalter 1 befinden. Der den Fensterrahmen 13 in der Fensterzarge 14 umschließende Spalt 15 ist enger als ein Abstand der beiden Anlageflächen 4, 5 des Abstandshalters 1 voneinander, wenn der Abstandshalter 1 bzw. seine elastischen Verbinder 3 unverformt sind. Beim Einbringen des Fensterrahmens 13 in die Fensterzarge 14 werden die elastischen Abstandshalter 1 bzw. ihre elastischen, Federelemente bildenden Verbinder 3 so verformt, dass sich der Abstand ihrer Anlageflächen 4, 5 an die Breite des Spalts 15 zwischen dem Fensterrahmen 13 und der Fensterzarge 14 anpasst.If the spacers 1 are arranged on the inside of the flange 16 of the window frame 14, the window frame 13 is introduced into the window frame 14 perpendicular to the surface which the window frame 14 spans. The window frame 13 is inserted from the side on which the insertion aids 7 of the spacers 1 are located. The gap 15 enclosing the window frame 13 in the window frame 14 is narrower than a distance between the two contact surfaces 4, 5 of the spacer 1 from one another when the spacer 1 or its elastic connectors 3 are undeformed. When the window frame 13 is introduced into the window frame 14, the elastic spacers 1 or their elastic, spring elements forming connectors 3 are deformed so that the distance between their contact surfaces 4, 5 adjusts to the width of the gap 15 between the window frame 13 and the window frame 14 .

Die Abstandshalter 1 halten den Fensterrahmen 13 klemmend in der Fensterzarge 14, so dass der Fensterrahmen 13 nicht in der Fensterzarge 14 gehalten werden muss und senkrecht zu der von der Fensterzarge 14 aufgespannten Ebene verschoben werden kann. Dadurch lässt sich der Fensterrahmen 13 senkrecht zu der von der Fensterzarge 14 aufgespannten Ebene verschieben und um eine Quer- und eine Hochachse schwenken und dadurch ausrichten.The spacers 1 hold the window frame 13 in a clamping manner in the window frame 14, so that the window frame 13 does not have to be held in the window frame 14 and can be displaced perpendicularly to the plane spanned by the window frame 14. As a result, the window frame 13 can be displaced perpendicular to the plane spanned by the window frame 14 and pivoted about a transverse and a vertical axis and thereby aligned.

Der Anschlag 8 der Abstandshalter 1 verhindert, dass der Fensterrahmen 13 versehentlich durch die Fensterzarge 14 durchgeschoben und auf einer den Einführhilfen 7 der Abstandshalter 1 abgewandten Seite heraus fällt.The stop 8 of the spacers 1 prevents the window frame 13 from being accidentally pushed through the window frame 14 and falling out on a side facing away from the insertion aids 7 of the spacers 1.

Links und rechts sorgen die Abstandshalter 1 für gleich breite Spalte 15 zwischen dem Fensterrahmen 13 und der Fensterzarge 14, oben ist der Spalt 15 wegen eines Gewichts des Fensterrahmens 13 vernachlässigbar breiter als unten.On the left and right, the spacers 1 provide gaps 15 of the same width between the window frame 13 and the window frame 14, the gap 15 above being negligibly wider than below because of the weight of the window frame 13.

Nachdem der Fensterrahmen 13 in der Fensterzarge 14 ausgerichtet ist, wird er mit nicht dargestellten Schraubenbefestigt, die durch den Fensterrahmen 13 in die Fensterzarge 14 oder umgekehrt geschraubt werden. Danach können die Abstandshalter 1 aus dem Spalt 15 entfernt und der Spalt 15 mit einem Isolierschaum ausgefüllt oder in anderer Weise isoliert werden. Grundsätzlich können die Abstandshalter 1 auch im Spalt 15 zwischen dem Fensterrahmen 13 und der Fensterzarge 14 verbleiben.After the window frame 13 is aligned in the window frame 14, it is fastened with screws, not shown, which are screwed through the window frame 13 into the window frame 14 or vice versa. The spacers 1 can then be removed from the gap 15 and the gap 15 filled with an insulating foam or insulated in some other way. In principle, the spacers 1 can also remain in the gap 15 between the window frame 13 and the window frame 14.

Wie in Figur 2 zu sehen, ist der Abstandshalter 1 und seine beiden Anlageflächen 4, 5 etwas länger als der Fensterrahmen 13 dick ist und ungefähr so lang wie der Flansch 16 der Fensterzarge 14 breit ist. Der Abstandshalter 1 und seine beiden Anlageflächen 4, 5 sind ein Mehrfaches länger als der Abstand der Anlageflächen 4, 5 voneinander, im Ausführungsbeispiel ist der Abstandshalter 1 und seine beiden Anlageflächen 4, 5 etwa fünfmal so lang wie der Abstand der Anlageflächen 4, 5 voneinander.As in Figure 2 can be seen, the spacer 1 and its two contact surfaces 4, 5 is somewhat longer than the window frame 13 is thick and approximately as long as the flange 16 of the window frame 14 is wide. The spacer 1 and its two contact surfaces 4, 5 are several times longer than the distance between the contact surfaces 4, 5 from one another, in the exemplary embodiment the spacer 1 and its two contact surfaces 4, 5 are approximately five times as long as the distance between the contact surfaces 4, 5 from one another .
