Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a kit for a frame and in particular to a kit for a frame of an (insect) protection device.
  • a protective screen (insect, pollen and/or sun screen) is usually attached to such a frame of a protective device, which screen spans the opening defined by the frame.
  • the protective device can then be mounted on a frame (in particular a window or door frame) of a building opening (in particular a window or door).
  • a kit for a frame of an insect protection device comprising four frame assemblies and each frame assembly having an inner profile bar and an outer profile bar which are connected to one another via a corner connector comprising a pivot axis.
  • the inner profile strips and the outer profile strips of the four frame assemblies are each aligned parallel to one another.
  • the end user must unfold the frame assemblies delivered in this way around the axis of rotation of the corner connector, so that the inner profile bar and the outer profile bar are arranged at a 90° angle to one another.
  • the end user has to align the profile strips of the frame groups with one another and push them into one another so that the frame is formed, with the inner profile strip of one frame assembly being aligned with the outer profile strip of an adjacent one Frame assembly is telescopic.
  • the frame can be easily adapted to windows of different sizes.
  • a frame consisting of four frame assemblies is also off US 4,279,288A known. Even if the assembly for the end user is considerably simplified by such kits, the presence of four frame assemblies means that he still has to assemble a large number of frame assemblies.
  • EP 3 835 539 A1 also a kit of exactly two frame assemblies, each of which can be placed in a perpendicular position for assembly.
  • a plug connection is formed at the free ends in the area of the corner connectors.
  • other corner connector components are therefore necessary than such corner connector components for forming a pivot joint within a frame assembly.
  • a larger number of different components is therefore required to provide such a kit with exactly two frame assemblies.
  • EP 3 690 177 A1 and EP 3 910 155 A1 a solution is known in each case as to how a foldable corner connector can be protected against unintentional folding back in its unfolded position. That's how it looks EP 3 690 177 A1 a separate fixing element, which can be inserted into both connecting legs of a corner connector in the unfolded assembly position.
  • EP 3 910 155 A1 suggests that the corner connector have a clip design onto which an attachment device can be clipped. But there is also the wish that according to EP 3 690 177 A1 fixation element that can be formed as a hanging element is itself secured against accidental loosening.
  • the object of the present invention is therefore to eliminate the disadvantages described in relation to the prior art and in particular to specify a kit which is even easier to assemble for an end user, and also to specify profile connectors in which the components mounted on the profile connector can be protected against unintentional loosening are secured.
  • kits with the features of claim 1 and with profile connectors with the respective features of claims 10 and 14.
  • Other solutions and advantageous developments of the kit and the profile connector are specified in the dependent claims and in the description, with individual features of the description and the dependent claims being able to be combined with one another in a technically meaningful manner.
  • the object is achieved in particular by a kit for a frame and in particular by a kit for a frame of an insect protection device.
  • the kit includes a first pre-assembled frame assembly and a second pre-assembled frame assembly.
  • Each of the two frame assemblies comprises a first free profile bar, a second free profile bar and a connecting device that has at least one other profile bar.
  • the first free profile strip is connected to the connecting device via a first rotary joint having an axis of rotation.
  • the second free profile strip is connected to the connecting device at a second end of the connecting device via a second rotary joint having a pivot axis.
  • each frame assembly is designed in such a way that in an initial position the two free profile strips and the connecting device are aligned parallel to one another and that the free profile strips can be transferred by pivoting to the connecting device about the respective axis of rotation into an assembly position in which the frame assembly U is shaped. In the assembly position, in which the two frame assemblies are U-shaped, the free profile strips of the first frame assembly and the free profile strips of the second frame assembly can be telescoped into one another.
  • the basic idea of the invention is that only exactly two modules (first pre-assembled frame assembly and second pre-assembled frame assembly) are provided to the end user for assembly of the frame, which the end user brings into a U-shaped position by opening the free profile strips can, in which the free profile strips of the two modules can be pushed into each other.
  • the essentially parallel orientation of the free profile strip to the connecting device in the initial position ensures on the one hand that the kit can be made available to the end customer in a compact form in a container (packaging), while the end customer has less assembly work.
  • the at least one axis of rotation it would be conceivable for the at least one axis of rotation to be aligned in the plane spanned by the frame and at an angle of approximately 45° to the direction in which the free profile strip extends.
  • the axes of rotation of the rotary joints of both frame assemblies are aligned parallel to one another (in the assembled state of the frame) and orthogonally to a plane spanned by the frame.
  • the free profile strips are also arranged during the transfer from the initial position into the assembly position in the plane which is defined by the free profile strips and the connecting device in the assembly position. In the last-mentioned embodiment, a particularly stable connection of the free profile strips with the connecting device is possible in the assembled position.
  • the (free) profile strips are designed as an inner profile strip or as an outer profile strip, with the inner profile strip of one frame assembly being able to be pushed into the outer profile strip of the other frame assembly in the assembled position.
  • the free profile strips of the first frame assembly can be designed as an inner profile strip and for the free profile strips of the second frame assemblies to be designed as an outer profile strip.
  • the two frame assemblies each have an outer profile strip and an inner profile strip as free profile strips.
  • the profile strips can be designed as tubes that can be slid into one another (with a circular or angular cross-section).
  • the profiled strips have at least one contour which extends along their longitudinal extension and which enables the attachment of a seal and/or a protective grille.
  • a Be provided in the direction of the longitudinal extent of the profile strip extending groove for receiving a (brush) seal.
  • a contour projection or recess can be provided, which extends along the length of the profile strip, to which a (insect) protective screen can optionally be fixed by means of additional components (such as a fixing strip).
  • the outer contour of the inner profile bar is matched to the inner contour of the outer profile bar so that they can be telescoped into one another.
  • the free profile strips of the frame assembly are preferably arranged essentially parallel but offset to one another and to the connecting device.
  • the free profile strips of a frame assembly can be offset from one another orthogonally to the plane and arranged on the same side of the connecting device.
  • the free profile strips are arranged in one plane in the assembly position, they can therefore be arranged directly next to one another (in the orthogonal direction to the plane) in the initial position due to slight tension.
  • the length of the connecting device it is possible for the length of the connecting device to be unchangeable.
  • the frame could only be resizable in one direction.
  • the connecting device of a frame assembly comprises at least one inner profile strip and at least one outer profile strip.
  • the frame is adjustable in size in its plane in two mutually orthogonal directions.
  • the rotary joint having the axis of rotation can be designed in one piece with a profile strip. It is preferred, however, that the swivel joint can be replaced by an independent component, namely a profile connector is trained.
  • the first profile strip and the second profile strip are each connected to the connecting device via a profile connector forming the swivel joint.
  • a first connecting leg of a profile connector is inserted into a free profile strip and a second connecting leg of the profile connector, pivotable about the axis of rotation relative to the first connecting leg, is inserted into a profile strip of the connecting device.
  • the two frame assemblies are each secured in their assembly position by a fixation.
  • the frame assemblies can have catches in the area of the pivot joint, which engage in one another in the assembly position, so that accidental pivoting back is prevented.
  • the fixation can be realized by a separate fixation element, which secures the rotary joint against unintentional swiveling back in its unfolded position.
  • the kit include packaging (e.g. a carton) in which the two frame assemblies are placed in their initial position.
  • packaging e.g. a carton
  • Other components of the kit such as fixing elements, hanging elements and/or insect screens, can of course be arranged in the packaging.
  • the invention also relates to a profile connector for a frame and in particular for a frame assembly of the kit described above.
  • the Profile connector comprises at least a first connecting leg, which can be inserted in particular into a profile strip, and a second connecting leg, which can in particular be inserted into a profile strip.
  • the profile connector also comprises a rotary joint, which has at least one axis of rotation, between the first connecting leg and the second connecting leg, which is designed in such a way that the first connecting leg and the second connecting leg can be transferred from a starting position into an assembly position by means of a relative pivoting movement about the at least one rotating axis in which the first connecting leg and the second connecting leg are arranged in a plane at right angles to one another.
  • a first aspect relating to the profile connector provides that the profile connector comprises a functional element (such as a suspension element), at least the first connecting leg having a receptacle for the functional element and the receptacle being arranged in such a way that the functional element is in the receptacle in the starting position can be inserted and that the functional element inserted into the receptacle is secured in the assembled position by the second connecting leg against removal from the receptacle.
  • a functional element such as a suspension element
  • a further aspect relating to the profile connector provides that at least one connecting leg has a terminating receptacle for accommodating one end of a seal, with the terminating receptacle extending into the plane.
  • Both aspects relating to the profile connector envisage that an additional component (functional element or seal) thereby against a unintentional loosening is secured that the connecting legs are mutually pivotable and in the assembly position, the additional component is secured.
  • the profile connector has, in particular, a connecting leg which can be inserted at least partially into a previously described profile strip, in particular in a non-positive manner.
  • the outer profile of the section of the connecting leg that can be inserted into the profile strip is therefore adapted to the inner profile of the corresponding profile strip.
  • the profile connector has the at least one axis of rotation for forming the swivel joint. If the movement of the connecting legs from the initial position into the assembly position takes place in the plane defined by the assembly position, exactly one axis of rotation is preferably formed.
  • the profile connector has exactly two connecting legs that can be brought into a right angle to one another, it is also referred to as a corner connector. However, it can also be provided that the profile connector has three connecting legs, in which case each connecting leg is arranged at a right angle to at least one further connecting leg in the assembly position.

  • the closing receptacle can be formed, which preferably adjoins the receiving groove.
  • the end receptacle is thus designed in such a way that one end of the seal can be inserted into the end receptacle, the end of the seal being oriented approximately at right angles to the section of the seal located outside of the end receptacle when inserted into the end receptacle.
  • the terminating receptacle therefore has an opening, in particular on the surface of the connecting leg which faces the window frame in the installed state, through which the end of the seal can be inserted into the terminating receptacle.
  • the terminating receptacle is arranged on the associated connecting leg in such a way that the terminating receptacle is accessible from the corresponding end face in the initial position and is covered by the other connecting leg in the assembled position, with the other connecting leg in particular being able to have a locking element with which the end of the Seal is fixed in the final recording in the assembly position.
  • the terminating receptacle therefore has an opening on the end face, through which a locking element of the other connecting leg (for example a projection on the other connecting leg) reaches through in the assembled position.
  • the final receptacle can thus be designed as a type of groove in the end face of the connecting leg.
  • the receptacle for the functional element is arranged in such a way that the functional element can be inserted into the receptacle in the starting position is.
