Description

DESCRIPTION

Profile frame system with thermal break

The invention relates to a thermally broken profile frame system, such as can be used on doors, gates, conservatories and windows to support panels, in particular glass, composite or wood panels. Such profile frame systems are preferably made of metal or a metal alloy and are exposed to strong temperature fluctuations and different weather conditions, at least on their outside. Additional mechanical loads are due to doors, gates or windows being able to open or close.

A large temperature difference between the outside of the profile frame system, ie that which is arranged on the outside of the building, and the inside of the profile frame system is problematic. In the event that the profile frame system is built in one piece, a high outside temperature could cause the interior of the building to heat up more quickly. On the contrary, in winter the interior of the building would cool more quickly.

For this reason, such profile frame systems are often built in two pieces. These comprise a first profile and a second profile. The first profile is separated from the second profile by an insulating material. Such profile frame systems are known from the prior art. For example, reference is made to EP 2085557 A2 or Ep 1327 739 A2 or EP 2573307 A1 or DE 102010017586 A1 or DE 102010 023607 A1. In all these profile frame systems, the first profile contacts a surface on the front side of the glass panel and the second profile contacts a surface on the rear side of the glass panel. An insulating rib connects both profiles to one another, the insulating rib being arranged perpendicular to the front-side surface or the rear-side surface of the glass pane. Both profiles have, in this respect, a parallel course with respect to the glass panel.

The drawback of such a construction is that the outward-facing profile can be elongated by several millimeters compared to the inward-facing profile at high outdoor temperatures. This creates a bending force that presses on the front side surface of the glass panel. This and additional mechanical loads, for example, when opening or closing the door or window, can cause the glass panel to crack.

From DE 2 103 904 A a profile frame system is known which has a first profile and a second profile. Both profiles have a first and a second profile section. The first two sections of the profile run parallel to each other and parallel to a glass panel. The two second profile sections run in the direction of the in each case another profile and rest there on a U-shaped bearing shoulder and are fixed there accordingly. The two second profile sections also still have sections running parallel to each other with respect to the first profile sections and ending to form a gap between them. In this case, the ends have a concave shape and surround, at least in part, a profile bar that is inserted into this gap.

A window and door frame are known from AT 170382 B. These comprise a first and a second profile, each having a first and a second profile section. The first sections of the profile extend parallel to the glass, while the second sections of the profile extend perpendicular to the glass in the direction of each other profile. In this case, one profile comprises two second profile sections, so that together they form a U-shape. The second profile section of the other profile protrudes into this U-shape. A seal is formed between the respective profile sections. , in particular, in the form of textile materials. In this respect, the second profile sections have a variable cross section, which increases the stability of the entire arrangement.

DE 26 34 668 A1 shows two profile rails that are connected to one another by means of a connecting piece. Both profile rails have a first and a second profile section, which are shown without overlapping with a view to the central plane.

In DE 27 29 287 A1 a metal profile for door or window frames is shown which includes a thermal break. The metal profile comprises two profile elements, only one first profile element being indirectly attached to both sides of a glass panel.

AT 403827 B describes a roof gable window with the corresponding profile structure. The profile includes an inclined drainage surface that forms a channel arranged inside the profile, which has openings for the passage of water.

From DE 36 18482 A2 a corner element for the production of sanitary cells is known.

This corner element is used to accommodate two profiles that are fixed at an angle of 90° to each other.

DE 2103904 A1 describes a metal window frame made of thin-walled sheet metal profiles. The metal frame of the window also comprises two profiles with, in each case, a branch. The branches of the two profiles are directed towards each other and, at least in sections, surround a profile bar consisting of a plastic. The same is true of document US 4 018 022 A and document DE 24 14720 A1. A similar structure is known from GB 768499 A. However, a plastic bar can still be attached to two profile sections.

Therefore, the object of the present invention is to provide a profile frame system for doors, gates, conservatories, windows and the like, which is suitable for supporting panels or panes, such as glass, composite or wood panels, and whereby the mechanical load on the front side surface and/or the rear side surface of the panels is reduced. The thermal insulation between the outer and inner profile in this regard must not be deteriorated.

The object is solved by the profile frame system according to the invention according to independent claim 1. Further advantageous embodiments of the profile frame system according to the invention can be found in the dependent claims.

The profile frame system according to the invention for supporting a panel arrangement can be used, for example, in doors, gates, conservatories, windows and the like, in particular for supporting panels and panes, for example in the form of glass panes or panes, or in the form of wood or composite panels. It comprises a first profile having a first profile section and a second profile section. The first profile section of the first profile has a contact area that directly or indirectly contacts or can contact a first side surface of the panel arrangement. A second profile has a first profile section and a second profile section. The first profile section of the second profile also has a contact area that is directly or indirectly in contact or can be brought into contact with a second side surface of the panel arrangement. The second lateral surface of the panel arrangement runs parallel to the first lateral surface. The second profile section of the first profile and the second profile section of the second profile are arranged facing a front side of the panel arrangement or facing the direction of a central plane overlapping, but not abutting to form a separation frame from each other. In this case, at least one supporting element is arranged in the partition frame at least in a part-length area of the profile frame system, whereby the second profile section of the first profile and the second profile section of the second profile are connected to each other and/or are kept at a distance and/or are attached to each other. The support element comprises a first clamping device for clamping in the second profile section of the first profile and a second clamping device for clamping in the second profile section of the second profile. The first and second holding devices consist of or comprise an adhesive bond, whereby the support element is attached to the second profile section of the first and second profile, the support element itself being made or comprised of foam material. plastic.

In an embodiment not according to the invention, the first and second clamping devices are configured as form-fitting clamping devices and/or consist of or comprise an adhesive connection, e.g. whereby the support element is attached to the second profile section of the first and of the second profile. The support element in this connection comprises or consists of plastic, in particular in the form of a continuous cast part or an extrusion part.

Furthermore, a profile frame corner connector is shown, by means of which two profile frame systems are preferably connected to one another not transversely and as a rule perpendicular to the plane of the panel, but preferably in an angle rotated 90° with respect to this, in such a way that the mechanical load on the first side surface and/or the second side surface of the panel arrangement is minimized and these forces are now applied on the front side of the panel arrangement. panels, in any case, not transversely or perpendicular to the arrangement of panels.

It is particularly advantageous in this respect if the first profile does not introduce the bending forces that occur transversely or perpendicularly to the panel arrangement therein, but in the direction of a central plane that runs through the arrangement. of panels. For this, it is advantageous if the two second profile sections overlap in view of the front side of the panel arrangement, forming a gap. In the event that there is a large difference in temperature between the first profile and the second profile, that is to say, that the first profile is exposed to direct solar radiation, for example, it is elongated with respect to the second profile. This elongation, together with the support element and the second profile sections, results in the generation of a bending force that does not act, as in previous profile frame systems, exclusively transversely or perpendicularly on the side surfaces. of the panel arrangement, but above all on the front side or parallel to the central plane of the panel arrangement. In particular, a glass panel is clearly more robust in terms of its resistance to the absorption of forces if these forces are applied to the front side or parallel to the central plane and do not act transversely or perpendicular to the front side. This means that a glass panel supported in this way is clearly more resistant to additional mechanical loads, such as those that occur, for example, when the door or window is closed, thus cracking less frequently or not at all. crack at all. Composite panels can bend when forces act transversely or perpendicularly to the side surface. The expression that the contact area of the second profile section of the first profile is in contact or can be brought into contact "directly" or "indirectly" with the front side of the panel arrangement is to be understood in such a way that in the case of direct contact, the support area of the second profile section touches the front side of the panel arrangement, while in the case of "indirect" contact, a further element, which is preferably inelastic, lies between the bearing area of the second profile section of the profile and the front side of the panel arrangement. In the case of the additional element it can be air or, for example, a block. By the expression that the contact area of the first profile section of the first and/or second profile is in "indirect" contact with the first and/or second lateral surface of the arrangement of panels, it is to be understood that one more additional element , such as, for example, a joint paste, can be arranged in the middle, which would not be the case with "direct" contact. In the context of the present application, the profile frame system is installed above all in a building in such a way that the first profile is exposed to greater temperature fluctuations and/or higher maximum or lower minimum temperatures than the second profile. . This means that the first profile preferably forms a part of the outside of the building, while the second profile projects towards the inside of the building.

A profile frame corner connector is used to connect two profile frame systems that face each other, for example at an angle of 90°, whereby, for example, a profile that runs horizontally it can be attached to a profile that has a vertical run in the corner area. In this case, the profile frame corner connector comprises a connecting device which is firmly connected to a first profile frame system and extends the same in the longitudinal direction and/or protrudes from it. The second profile section of the first profile of the second profile frame system is firmly connected to this connection kit via at least one screw connection. The term "approximately" is to be understood in the sense that the angle may comprise 90° ± 2° or less.

In one embodiment of the profile frame system, the second profile section of the first profile also has a bearing region that directly or indirectly contacts or can contact a front side of the panel arrangement. The second profile section of the second profile is arranged further away from the front side of the panel arrangement than the second profile section of the first profile. The panel arrangement comprises one panel or several panels, the several panels being directly superimposed and/or adhered to one another.

In an embodiment according to the further invention of the profile frame system, the panel arrangement consists of at least two panels arranged spaced apart from each other and parallel to each other. The first panel and the second panel each comprise an inner side and an outer side, the inner sides of the first and second panels facing towards each other and the outer sides of the first and second panels facing away from each other. . The first profile section of the first profile mates with the inside of the first panel and the first profile section of the second profile mates with the inside or outside of the second panel. Complementarily, the first and/or the second profile and/or at least one spacer are fully or partially arranged between the two panels. As an alternative or additionally, the second profile section of the first profile has a bearing zone which is or can be directly or indirectly brought into contact with a front side of the second panel.

In one embodiment of the profile frame system, the first panel side surface is formed by a panel front side surface and the panel second side surface by a panel rear side surface. As an alternative, the panel has a groove-shaped recess on its front side, into which the profile frame system fits or can be inserted at least in part, thus forming two further side areas that run parallel to each other along the groove-shaped notch and the first side surface of the panel forming the first side area and the second side surface of the panel forming the second side area.

In another embodiment according to the invention of the profile frame system, the supporting element made of foamed material is arranged in the entire hollow space between the first and second profiles or only in the gap. The plastic foam material is preferably softer and therefore more elastic than commercially available construction foam. The non-inventive support element in the form of plastic, in particular in the form of a continuous cast part or an extrusion part, is formed as a single piece in cross section. The support element in this case can also be formed as a single part in the longitudinal direction of the profile frame system over the entire length of the profile frame system. It is also possible that several support elements are used along the entire length of the profile frame system, it being possible to select the distance between the individual support elements. It can be less than 50 cm, less than 40 cm, less than 30 cm, less than 20 cm, less than 10 cm or less than 5 cm. The individual support elements can also be directly adjacent to each other so that they touch. In this case, an individual support element can have a length that corresponds to the length of the profile frame system. However, the support element can also have a shorter length. In particular, it can have a length of less than 2 m, less than 1.5 m, less than 1 m, less than 80 cm, less than 60 cm, less than 40 cm, less than 30 cm.

In an exemplary embodiment not according to the invention, the first and/or second fastening equipment of the support element has two mutual ridges or ribs projecting towards or away from each other, which can be inserted or fit into two recesses in the shape of a slot that have a course moving away from or coming closer in the second profile section of the first and/or second profile. This means that the support element can be very easily integrated into the profile frame system when it is mounted. Here, advantage is taken of the fact that the two second profile sections run approximately parallel, in any case transverse, to the first profile sections and overlap when viewed from one end of the panel arrangement.

In this regard, the first and second clamping devices have different structures. For example, it is possible for the first or second holding device to comprise two feet that preferably move towards each other at an angle, the ribs or ribs being configured in each case at a first end of each of the two feet. that are projected moving away or coming closer. The second or the first fastening equipment, that is to say, the one in which the feet are not configured, comprises a base body in which the ridges or ribs that project towards or away from each other are also configured, the two feet being attached to the body. base at its second end. A first and a second clamping device structured in this way can be inserted together with the ribs formed on the base body into the corresponding slots in the first or second profile. The ridges, which are formed at the first ends of the two feet, can in this connection be designed in such a way that these feet can also be inserted into the grooves. Preferably, the feet are pre-stressed and tend to spread apart, so that the fastening equipment comprising the feet can additionally or alternatively be hooked or snapped into the corresponding grooves.

In another exemplary embodiment not according to the invention, both the first and the second holding equipment each comprise two feet, each of which moves towards the other at an angle. At a first end of each one of the feet, the ridges or ribs are configured that project away and/or toward each other. The support element comprises a central body that is attached to the second end of all the feet. The feet are preferably of the same length in both the first and second exemplary embodiments.

In addition, the feet of the first and/or second fastening equipment can also be connected to each other at their first end via a rib or panel. This rib or panel can protrude in both directions, forming the two ridges.

In an embodiment not according to the invention of the profile frame system, it has a locking receiving space which is arranged between the two feet next to the base body and is used to accommodate a bolt of a locking device so that the door or gate or window cannot be opened. Depending on the configuration of the support element, this lock housing space can also be arranged inside the central body, serving in turn to house a locking device bolt so that the door or gate or window does not can be opened. Locking equipment in this regard is not subject to the profile frame system. The locking receiving space preferably does not extend through the entire profile frame system, but only through a part of the profile frame system. Due to the fact that the locking accommodation space is arranged between two feet of the support element or in the central body of the support element, there is effective protection against theft, since the entire support element and thus , the entire profile frame system would have to be disassembled to access or expose the locking hardware bolt.

In another embodiment according to the invention of the profile frame system, the second profile section of the first profile or the second profile section of the second profile comprises a receiving area which, in cross section in plan view, corresponds or approximates a square or a rectangle or a trapezoid or an oval or a circle or a regular or irregular n-sided polygon. This receiving area serves to provide a locking receiving space for receiving a bolt of a locking device so that the door or gate or window cannot be opened. The first profile and the second profile are preferably configured in each case as a single cross-sectional part.

In another exemplary embodiment of the profile frame system, the two second profile sections are arranged completely or at least partly parallel to one another. The two second profile sections run transverse to the center plane of the panel arrangement and thus transverse to the first and second lateral surfaces of the panel arrangement. In this regard, they enclose an angle with respect to the central plane that is preferably greater than 30°, preferably greater than 40°, more preferably greater than 50°, more preferably greater than 60°, more preferably greater than 70°, most preferably greater of 80°. Preferably, this angle corresponds exactly to 90°.

In order to guarantee a sufficient thermal insulation capacity between the first and the second profile, the support element has a lower thermal conductivity than the first and the second profile. In order to be able to better absorb the forces and/or better transmit them to the front side of the panel arrangement, in particular a glass, composite or wooden panel, the support element is at least partly elastic.

The second profile section of the first profile and the second profile section of the second profile overlap in their width transversely to the longitudinal direction of the profiles to an extent that is greater than 50%, preferably greater than 60%, more preferably greater than 70%, more preferably greater than 80%, more preferably greater than 90%, but preferably less than 98% of the front side width and/or thickness of the panel arrangement. In this way it is ensured that the bending forces are transmitted above all to the front side or at least parallel to the central plane of the panel arrangement.

It is also possible that the first profile is made up of a number of parts over the length of the profile frame system, which are spaced apart from one another in the transverse direction relative to its longitudinal direction. This makes the maximum of the bending forces smaller, since the magnitude of the bending forces is proportional to the length of the first profile. If the first profile consists of several section sections separated from each other in the transverse direction transversely to its longitudinal direction, then each of these section sections exerts a force on the front side of the panel arrangement that is less than the magnitude force that the first profile would exert if it had a continuous path in the longitudinal direction.

The second profile section of the first profile or the second profile section of the second profile extends from the respective first profile section in the direction of the opposite first profile section of the second profile or of the first profile, thereby forming a distance which is less than 30%, preferably less than 25%, more preferably less than 20%, more preferably less than 15%, more preferably less than 10%, but preferably more than 2% of the width of the front and/or back side thickness of the panel arrangement. This ensures that the bending forces are introduced above all on the front side of the panel arrangement or at least parallel to the center plane in the panel arrangement and that the resistance to heat transfer between the first and second profile is high.

In another embodiment of the profile frame system, the path of the first profile section of the second profile is adapted, at least in part, to the path of the first profile section of the first profile, whereby the distance between the two sections in profile is approximately constant.

In a further embodiment of the profile frame system, at least part of a path of the second profile section of the first and/or second profile is symmetrical to the central plane through the panel arrangement.

Both profiles are preferably made of metal or a metal alloy, preferably aluminum or steel. The first profile is formed as a single piece with its first and second section sections in the transverse direction and, optionally, in the longitudinal direction. The second profile is formed in one piece also with its first and second profile sections in the transverse direction and preferably also in the longitudinal direction.

In a further embodiment of the profile frame system, it comprises a sealing device, which bears against the second profile section of the second profile in a force-fit connection and/or form-fit connection and seals the interior of the profile frame system. outward profile frame. In this case, the sealing device preferably consists of an elastic material, in particular rubber.

1A shows a spatial representation of a door frame with the profile frame system 1 with thermal break according to the invention. The profile frame system 1 is placed at the edge of an arrangement of panels 2, in particular a panel 2 made of glass, composite or wood. In FIG. 1A, a panel arrangement 2 is shown in the form of exactly one glass panel 2, which has a first side surface 3 in the form of a front side surface 3a and a second, opposite side surface 3' in the form of a front surface. from the posterior side 3'a. After the profile frame system 1 has been installed, the surface of the front side 3a preferably faces outwards, so that this side is particularly exposed to weathering and temperature fluctuations. Preferably, the profile frame system 1 is arranged on all four sides of the perimeter of the panel arrangement 2. The panel arrangement 2 can also have several glass panels 2 that are arranged directly one above the other. The glass panels 2 can also be glued together.

Figure 1B shows a spatial representation of, for example, a glass pane or a composite or wooden panel 2, illustrating the course of a central plane 4, which in this case is a central plane of symmetry 4. The plane central 4 passes through the glass or wooden panel 2 and is arranged parallel to the first and second side surfaces 3, 3', ie parallel to the front side surface 3a or the rear side surface 3'a. Hereinafter, reference is often made to a glass or wooden panel 2, although all shapes and configurations of panels and glass are understood, without any limitation that, as a general rule, they are poor conductors of heat.

The panel arrangement 2 also has a front side 5 which, as explained in detail later, is important for the placement of the profile frame system 1.

Figure 2A shows a cross section through the profile frame system 1 according to the invention with two separate profiles 10, 11, which are connected to each other via a support element 12. The first profile 10 comprises a first profile section 101 and a second profile section 1O2. The first profile section 1O1 of the first profile has a contact area 6 which is or can be brought into contact directly or indirectly with the first side surface 3, ie the front side surface 3a of the panel arrangement 2. It is It is possible that the end of the first profile section 101 of the first profile 10 becomes narrower in diameter.

The first profile section 101 of the first profile 10 is preferably aligned parallel to the central plane 4, that is, the central plane of symmetry 4. The second profile section 102 of the first profile 10 is preferably aligned perpendicular to the first section of profile 101.

The second profile 11 also comprises a first profile section 111 and a second profile section 112. The The first profile section 11i of the second profile 11 in turn has a contact area 7 which is in direct or indirect contact or can be brought into contact with the second lateral surface 3', that is to say the rear surface 3'a. of the panel arrangement 2. The rear side surface 3'a of the panel arrangement 2 is arranged parallel to the front side surface 3a and can be seen in Fig. 2E.

The second profile section 102 of the first profile 10 has a bearing area 8 which is directly or indirectly in contact or can be brought into contact with the front side 5 of the panel arrangement 2. In this exemplary embodiment, the support 8 has several support surfaces 60 that rise towards the front side 5 of the panel arrangement 2. Consequently, in this exemplary embodiment, the panel arrangement 2 does not bear on the entire surface of the second profile section 102 of the first profile 10.

The second profile section 112 of the second profile 11 is arranged further away from the front side 5 or a center of the panel arrangement 2 than the second profile section 102 of the first profile 10. The center can be the middle of the arrangement of panels 2. The center can coincide with the center of gravity. It is particularly important in this connection that the second profile section 102 of the first profile 10 and the second profile section 112 of the second profile 11 are arranged so that they overlap one another as viewed from the direction of the center plane 4 or as viewed look from the front side 5 of the arrangement of panels 2, but without contact, forming a gap 35 from each other.

At least one support element 12 is arranged within this gap 35. This at least one support element 12 can extend along the entire length of the profile frame system 1 or only along at least one length. partial length. By means of this support element 12, the second profile section 102 of the first profile 10 and the second profile section 112 of the second profile 11 are connected to one another and/or held at a distance from and/or clamped to one another.

In figure 2A, this support element 12 is again shown as a free drawing.

In this exemplary embodiment, the support element 12 consists of plastic, in particular in the form of a continuous casting. In this exemplary embodiment, the gap 35 is not completely filled by the support element 12. It would therefore be possible for the support element 12 to be additionally supplemented with adhesive material or plastic foam material, so that the gap 35 will be mostly or completely filled.

The contact zone 6 of the first profile section 101 of the first profile 10 and the contact zone 7 of the first profile section 111 of the second profile 11 preferably extend along a length of the first profile section 101, 111 of the first and/or second profile 10, 11 which is less than half the length of the first profile section 101, 111 of the first and/or second profile 10, 11. With reference to figures 2I and 2J, the Contact zones 6, 7 of the first profile section 101, 111 of the first and/or second profile 10, 11 can also extend over the entire length of the first profile sections 101, 111.

The support element 12 is formed, in particular, in the form of a continuous plastic casting and is preferably designed as a single piece in cross section. The same occurs with the first profile 10 and the second profile 11. The first two and second profile sections 101, 102; 111, 112 are in each case preferably configured as a single piece in cross section.

The support element 12 comprises a first clamping device 13 and a second clamping device 14. The first clamping device 13 serves to clamp the supporting element 12 in the second profile section 102 of the first profile 10. The second support device The clamping element 14 of the support element 12 is used for clamping in the second profile section 112 of the second profile 11.

The first and/or second clamping device 13, 14 is designed in this case as a clamping device 13, 14 in positive and/or form-fitting connection.

This means that the first and/or second clamping device 13, 14 is preferably in the form of or comprises a clip connection or a sliding or plug-in connection. It would also be possible for the first and/or second fastening device 13, 14 to be made of or comprise an adhesive connection and/or a riveted or screwed connection. In this way, the first and/or second clamping equipment 13, 14 is connected to the second profile section 102, 112 of the first and/or second profile 10, 11.

In this exemplary embodiment, the first and second clamping devices 13, 14 of the support element 12 each comprise two ridges or ribs 17 projecting away, which can be inserted into or snapped into two slot-shaped cavities 26, 27 running towards each other in the second profile section 102, 112 of the first and second profiles 10, 11. It would also be possible for the ridges or ribs 17 to move closer to each other instead of moving away. In this case, the slot-shaped cavities 26, 27 in the second profile section 102, 112 of the first and/or second profile 10, 11 would extend away from each other.

In this exemplary embodiment, both the first and the second clamping equipment 13, 14 each comprise two feet 18, 19 that move towards each other at an angle. At respectively a first end of each of the feet 18, 19, the ridges or ribs 17 are configured, projecting away. Furthermore, the support element 12 comprises a central body 15 that is attached to the second end of all the feet 18, 19.

In this exemplary embodiment, the feet 19 of the second holding device 14 are additionally connected to each other at their first end via a panel-shaped rib 16.

Preferably, all feet 18, 19 also extend in the longitudinal direction of the profile frame system 1. The feet 18, 19 preferably extend the same length as the support element 12 in the longitudinal direction through the profile frame system. profile 1. It would also be possible for interruptions to be formed in the longitudinal direction, so that the feet 18, 19 do not extend continuously over the entire length of the support element 12.

In this exemplary embodiment, the central body 15 has the shape of a cross-sectional circle in plan view. However, it could also correspond to or approximate the shape of a regular or irregular square, rectangle, oval, trapezoid, or n-sided polygon. Inside the central body 15, a lock receiving space 25 is formed which serves to accommodate a bolt 36 of a locking device so that the door or gate or window cannot be opened. This locking receiving space 25 therefore preferably does not extend over the entire length of the profile frame system 1, but is only arranged in direct proximity to the locking device. This occurs mainly in the corners of the panel layout 2.

In figure 2A, the two second profile sections 102, 112 are almost completely parallel to each other. The distance from the second profile section 102 of the first profile 10 to the first profile section 111 of the second profile 11 is approximately the same as the distance from the second profile section 112 of the second profile 11 to the first profile section 101 of the first profile 10. The term "about" may comprise a deviation of preferably less than 5%, more preferably less than 3%, most preferably less than 1%.

The support element 12 is configured and/or installed symmetrically with respect to the central plane 4, i.e. with respect to the central plane of symmetry 4. The second profile section 102 of the first profile 10 and the second profile section 112 of the second profile 11 are also configured symmetrically or mainly symmetrically with respect to the center plane 4. This means that the two second profile sections 102, 112 extend transversely to the center plane 4 of the panel arrangement 2 and thus transversely to the first and second side surfaces 3, 3', i.e. transversely to the front and rear side surfaces 3a, 3'a of the panel arrangement 2. The bending forces act mainly along the central plane 4 on the support element 12 and thus on the front side 5 of the panel arrangement 2 and/or along the central plane 4 on the side surfaces 3, 3'.

In principle, it would also be possible here for the two second profile sections 102, 112 and, alternatively or optionally, the support region 8 of the second profile section 102 of the first profile 10 to run wholly or partly at an angle to to the central plane 4 of the panel arrangement 2 and thus at an angle a to the first and second side surfaces 3, 3', i.e. to the front and rear side surfaces 3a, 3'a of the arrangement of panels 2, which is greater than 30°, preferably greater than 40°, more preferably greater than 50°, more preferably greater than 60°, more preferably greater than 70°, most preferably greater than 80° and preferably corresponds at 90°.

The second profile section 102 of the first profile 10 is connected to the first profile section 101 of the first profile 10 at exactly one point. The same applies here also to the second profile section 112 in connection with the first profile section 111 of the second profile 11.

The two profile sections 102, 112 of the first and second profiles 10, 11, which preferably run parallel or at least in sections or partially parallel to each other, overlap (viewed vertically) in their width transverse to the longitudinal direction of the profiles 10 , 11 to an extent that is greater than 50%, preferably greater than 60%, more preferably greater than 70%, more preferably greater than 80%, most preferably greater than 90% of the width of the front side 5 and/or of the thickness of the layout of panels 2.

Preferably, the first two profile sections 101, 111 are of equal thickness. The same preferably also applies to the two second profile sections 102, 112. It is also possible that the profile sections 101, 102; 111, 112 individual have different thicknesses. However, it is preferable that all profile sections 101, 102; 111, 112 have approximately the same thickness.

The profile frame system 1 further comprises a sealing device 9 that bears against the second profile section I I2 of the second profile 11 in force fit connection and/or form fit connection and seals the inside of the profile frame system 1 to the outside. The sealing device 9 is preferably attached to the second profile section 112 of the second profile 11 by clamping in a force-fit connection and/or form-fit connection. To do this, the second profile section 112 of the second profile 11 can have additional grooves, which preferably come close to one another, into which ridges formed on the sealing device 9 fit, corresponding to the grooves. The sealing device 9 is preferably made elastic, in particular of a rubber.

Figure 2B shows another cross section of the profile frame system 1 with two separate profiles 10, 11, which are connected to each other via a support element 12. The support element 12 again comprises a first and a second piece of equipment. clamping devices 13, 14. In this exemplary embodiment, the first clamping device 13 comprises two feet 18 which preferably move towards each other at an angle. At respectively a first end of the two feet 18 are formed the ridges or ribs 17 projecting away. The second fastening equipment 14 of the support element 12 comprises a base body 20 on which the ridges or ribs 17 are formed, protruding away. The two legs 18 are connected at their second ends to this base body 20. It would of course also be possible for the first holding device 13 to comprise the base body 20, while the second holding device 14 has feet 18. In principle, two base bodies 20 connected to each other by two or more feet 18 would also be conceivable.

In this exemplary embodiment, the profile frame system 1 also has a locking receiving space 25, which is arranged between the two feet 18 next to the base body 20 and is used to accommodate a bolt 36 of the locking device, e.g. what door or gate or window cannot be opened. The lock accommodation space 25 is formed by a separate casing 22. This independent casing 22 is then located between the two feet 18 and the base body 20. The independent casing 22 can be connected to the second profile section 102 of the first profile 10, for example by means of an adhesive connection. The casing 22 in this respect is preferably separate from the feet 18 and the base body 20.

The second profile section 102 of the first profile 10 has at least one, preferably several, additional bearing surfaces 61 rising in the direction of the gap 35. The housing 22 is arranged on this additional bearing surface 61.

The feet 18 are preferably at least partly elastic. This preferably applies to all feet 18, 19.

The two second profile sections 102, 112 of the two profiles 10, 11 run at least partly parallel to one another in this exemplary embodiment.

The distance from the second profile section 102 of the first profile 10 to the first profile section 111 of the second profile 11 is less than the distance from the second profile section 112 of the second profile 11 to the first profile section 101 of the first profile 10.

The distance from the casing 22 to the feet 18 and preferably to the base body 20 is equal and moreover preferably constant.

Also within figure 2B it would be possible to close other hollow spaces between the first profile 10 and the second profile 11 by means of additional adhesive material and/or plastic foam material.

Figure 2C shows a cross section through the profile frame system 1 according to the invention with two separate profiles 10, 11, which are connected to each other via a support element 12. In this exemplary embodiment, the Support element 12 is one consisting of or comprising plastic foam material. In this exemplary embodiment, the entire space between the first and the second profile 10, 11 is filled with the support element 12. It would also be possible for the support element 12, particularly if it is made of plastic foam material, to be configured alone in the gap 35.

In this exemplary embodiment, the second profile section 102 of the first profile 10 comprises, in cross section, at least one receiving area corresponding to a trapezoid in plan view. A housing 22 is inserted into this receiving area, which has a locking receiving space 25, which is used to accommodate a bolt 36 of a locking device so that the door or gate or window cannot be opened. The housing 22, which contains the locking receiving space 25, is engaged in a form-fit connection with the second profile section 102 of the first profile 10 within the receiving area. It would also be possible for the accommodation area to be formed in the second profile section 112 of the second profile 11. The accommodation area can also have the shape or approximate a square, a rectangle, an oval, a circle or a polygon of n regular or irregular sides in cross section and in plan view.

The path of the second profile section 112 of the second profile 11 is also adapted, at least in part, to the travel of the second profile section IO2 of the first profile 10. This means that the distance between the two second profile sections 102, 112 is approximately constant. Thus, the second profile section 112 of the second profile 11 not only has a section that moves towards the first profile section 101 of the first profile 10, but also additionally moves towards the front side 5 of the panel arrangement. 2.

The second profile section 102 of the first profile 10 extends from the first profile section 101 of the first profile 10 towards the first profile section 111 of the second profile 11. It thus ends a distance in front of the first profile section profile 111 of the second profile 11, this distance being less than 30%, preferably less than 25%, more preferably less than 20%, more preferably less than 15%, more preferably less than 10%, but preferably more than 2% of the width of the front side 5 and/or the thickness of the panel arrangement 2. The same applies to the second profile section 112 of the second profile 11, which extends in the direction of the first profile section 101 of the first profile 10 .

The trapezoidal receiving area is preferably located approximately in the center of the second profile section 102 of the first profile 10.

Figure 2D shows a cross section of the profile frame system 1 with two separate profiles 10, 11, which are connected to each other via a support element 12. In this exemplary embodiment, the second profile section 102 of the first profile 10 consists of at least a first and a second segment 301, 302, whereby both segments 301, 302 start with their first end from different points in the first profile section 101 of the first profile 10 and extend in the direction of the first profile section 112 of the second profile 11, where they connect to each other at their second end and where the first segment 301 is arranged closer to the front side 5 of the panel arrangement 2 or closer to a center of the arrangement of panels 2 than the second segment 302 and wherein the first segment 301 runs approximately parallel to the front side 5 of the panel arrangement 2, so that the second segment 302 runs obliquely to the front side 5 panel 2.

In the same way, it is also for the second profile section 112 of the second profile 11. It also consists of at least a first and a second segment 311, 312. Both segments 311, 312 start with their first ends from different points of the first section. section 111 of the second profile 11 and extend in the direction of the first profile section 101 of the first profile 10. The first segment 311 is connected with its second end to the second segment 312. The second segment 312 has a minimum distance from the front side 5 or the center of the panel arrangement 2 smaller than the first segment 311. The second segment 312 is arranged for most of its length approximately parallel to the second segment 302 of the second profile section 102 of the first profile 10, the gap 35 being formed between both segments 302, 312 to house the support element 12.

It has already been explained that the support element 12 is, as a rule, configured and/or installed symmetrically with respect to the central plane 4. The second profile section 102 of the first profile 10 and the second profile section 112 of the second profile 11 are configured symmetrically or in particular symmetrically with respect to the central plane 4. This means that the two second profile sections 102, 112 extend transversely to the central plane 4 of the panel arrangement 2 and thus therefore transversely to the first and second side surfaces 3, 3', i.e. transversely to the front and rear side surface 3a, 3'a of the panel arrangement 2. The bending forces act mainly along the plane center 4 on the support element 12 and thus on the front side 5 or the side surfaces 3, 3' of the panel arrangement 2.

In principle, however, it would also be possible for the two second profile sections 102, 112 or their segments 302, 312 and thus the alignment and active surfaces of the support element 12 to run wholly or partly in one angle p with respect to the central plane 4 of the panel arrangement 2 and thus at an angle p with respect to the first and second side surfaces 3, 3' and thus to the front side surface and rear 3a, 3'a of the arrangement of panels 2, which is greater than 30°, preferably greater than 40°, more preferably greater than 50°, more preferably greater than 60°, more preferably greater than 70°, most preferably greater at 80° and in this respect less than 90°.

This also means that the two second profile sections 102, 112 or their segments 302, 312 do not extend perpendicular to the center plane 4 of the panel arrangement 2 and thus perpendicular to the first and second side surfaces 3, 3 ', in this case, perpendicular to the surface of the front and rear side 3a, 3'a of the panel arrangement 2. That is, now only an angle-dependent force component of the bending forces along the plane of central symmetry 4 acts on the front side of the panel arrangement 2 via the support element 12. However, the force component of the force vector running parallel to the central plane 4 is greater than the force component running perpendicular to the central plane 4.

Preferably, however, the angle p corresponds to 90°, so that then the two second profile sections 102, 112 or their segments 302, 312 extend perpendicular to the central plane 4 of the panel arrangement 2 and thus , perpendicular to the first and second side surfaces 3, 3', in this case, perpendicular to the front and rear side surfaces 3a, 3'a of the panel arrangement 2.

Again, it would be possible to provide between the first and second segments 30i, 302 of the second profile section IO2 of the first profile 10 a locking accommodation space 25 which serves to accommodate a bolt 36 of a locking device so that the door or the gate or window cannot be opened.

2F shows a cross section through the profile frame system 1 with two separate profiles 10, 11, which are connected to one another via a support element 12, the profile frame system 1 being inserted at least in part in a groove-shaped recess 28 of the panel arrangement 2. The groove-shaped recess 28 passes through the panel arrangement 2 over the entire length of the area in which the profile frame system 1 is to be attached As a rule, the profile frame system 1 is, with the exception of the sealing device 9, almost completely immersed in the groove-shaped recess 28 . In contrast to this, the profile frame system 1 can also be completely immersed in the groove-shaped recess 28 with the sealing device 9. The groove-shaped recess 28 forms two further parallel side areas 3b, 3'b with each other, whereby the first lateral surface 3 of the panel arrangement 2 in this exemplary embodiment forms the first lateral area 3b and the second lateral surface 3' of the panel arrangement 2 forms the second lateral area 3'b . The two side areas 3b, 3'b together with a part of the front side 5 of the panel arrangement 2 define the slot-shaped accommodation space 28 in three directions. The side of the first profile section 101 of the first profile 10, which does not point in the direction of the first profile section 111 of the second profile 11, rests on the first side area 3b of the panel arrangement 2. The same is true with the second profile 11. The side of the first profile section 111 of the second profile 11, which does not point in the direction of the first profile section 101 of the first profile 10, rests on the second lateral area 3'b of the panel arrangement 2. The first profile section 101 of the first profile 10 ends, like the second profile section 102 of the first profile 10, on the front side 5 of the panel arrangement 2. The first profile section 111 of the The second profile 11 also ends, like the second profile section 102 of the first profile 10, on the front side 5 of the panel arrangement 2.

In this exemplary embodiment, the panel arrangement 2 is configured as a single piece. However, it can also be configured in two parts or, in general, in several parts. For example, the slot-shaped cutout 28 can be formed by a panel that has small dimensions in relation to two other panels between which it is arranged.

In this case, the sealing device 9 covers not only the first two profile sections 101, 111, but also the front side part 5 of the panel arrangement 2 that protrudes relative to the other part already covered by the second section. of profile 102 of the first profile 10. The exemplary embodiment of FIG. 2E can be combined with the other exemplary embodiments relating in particular to the support element 12.

Figures 2G and 2H show a cross section through the profile frame system 1 with two separate profiles 10, 11 connected to each other by a support element 12, the panel arrangement 2 being separated from the second profile section 102 of the first profile 10. Between the front side 5 of the panel arrangement 2 and the second profile section 102 of the first profile 10, a hollow space is formed in FIG. 2G, which is filled with air. In figure 2h, a block 37, which is preferably inelastic, is located between the front side 5 of the arrangement of panels 2 and the second profile section 102 of the first profile 10.

Figure 2I shows a cross section through the profile frame system 1 with two separate profiles 10, 11, which are connected to each other via a support element 12, the panel arrangement 2 being composed of two panels 2a, 2b separated, preferably arranged parallel to each other, between which the profile frame system 1 is arranged.

The first panel 2a and the second panel 2b each comprise an inner side 3b, 3'b and an outer side 3a, 3'a, wherein the inner sides 3b, 3'b of the first and second panels 2a, 2b are oriented the towards each other and wherein the outer sides 3a, 3'a of the first and second panels 2a, 2b are oriented away from each other. The first profile section 101 of the first profile 10 rests on the inside 3b of the first panel 2a and the first profile section 111 of the second profile 11 rests on the inside 3'b of the second panel 2b.

In FIG. 2J, on the other hand, the first profile section 111 of the second profile 11 rests on the outer side 3'a of the second panel 2b.

In figure 2I, the first and second panels 2a, 2b of the panel arrangement 2 are coupled along the entire length of the first profile sections 101, 111 of the first and second profiles 10, 11. In figure 2J , this applies only to the first panel 2a in the first profile section 101 of the first profile 10. The second panel 2b instead only engages along a partial length of the first profile section 111 of the second profile 11.

In figure 2J there is still a joint 39 between the outer side 3'a of the second panel 2b and the first profile section 111 of the second profile 11. Therefore, the second panel 2b only indirectly engages with the first profile section 111 of the second profile 11. This can, in principle, apply to all areas and exemplary embodiments between the side surfaces 3, 3' of the panel arrangement 2 and the first profile sections 101, 11i of the first and second profiles 10, 11. The front side 5 of the second panel 2b is separated from the second profile section 102 of the first profile 10 by the block 37. Therefore, the support zone 8 of the second section of profile 102 of the first profile 10 only comes into contact indirectly with the front side 5 of the second panel 2b.

Furthermore, the profile frame system 1 of figure 2J comprises a spacer 38. The spacer 38 is arranged wholly or partly between the two panels 2a, 2b. It can be made of an elastic or inelastic material. Preferably, it comes into contact with both the block 37 and the first two profile sections 101, 111.

Fig. 3 shows a cross section in spatial representation through the profile frame system 1 with two separate profiles 10, 11, which are connected to each other by a support element 12. The individual elements are shown, in this respect, offset with each other in different ways, which clearly shows how the support element 12 fits into the two second profile sections 102, 112 of the two profiles 10, 11. The support element 12 is the support element 12 explained in the figure 2A, to which reference is made.

Here the longitudinal extension of the feet 18, 19 of the support element 12, ie along the profile frame system 1, as described in connection with Fig. 2A, can be seen very clearly. A bolt 36 of a not shown locking device fits into the locking receiving space 25 configured in the central body 15.

To mount the profile frame system 1, the support element 12 can be inserted into the corresponding slots 27 of the second profile section 102 of the first profile 10. The second profile 11 can then be slid onto the second clamping device 14 of the support element 12 through its profile section 112 and its slots 26.

In addition, the sealing device 9 is inserted into the second profile section 112 of the second profile 11 via a corresponding receiving device, preferably in the form of interlocking grooves. Since the support element 12 is in contact with the two second profile sections 102, 112 over a greater length, the profile frame system 1 is stable and can be mechanically stressed.

4 shows a spatial representation of a profile frame corner connector 40, by means of which two profile frame systems 11, 12 can be connected to one another at an angle of approximately 90°. The purpose of the profile frame corner connector 40 is to maintain the thermal insulation of the first profile 10 with respect to the second profile 11 even through several profile frame systems 11, 12. Thus, the frame corner connector of profile 40 ensures that only the first profiles 10 and the second profiles 11 are in contact with each other. The profile frame corner connector 40 comprises, in this connection, a connecting piece 41 which is firmly connected to the first profile frame system 11 and extends the same in the longitudinal direction and/or protrudes from it. The second profile section of the first profile of the second profile frame system 12 is firmly connected to the connection kit 41 via at least one screw connection 44. The profile frame corner connector 40 additionally has at least one spacer sleeve 43, which rests with a first end on the side of the second profile section of the first profile of the second profile frame system 12, which is spaced from the support area. The at least one spacer sleeve 43 is traversed by the at least one screw connection 44. Furthermore, the profile frame corner connector 40 comprises an insulating panel 42 which is attached to the spacer sleeve 43 at the second end thereof by means of at least one bolted connection 44. The insulating panel 42 extends in a transverse direction transversely to the longitudinal direction of the second profile frame system. The second profile section 502 of the second profile of the second profile frame system 12 rests on the side of the insulating panel 42 which is arranged closest to the connecting device 41 and is, as it were, nestled under the insulating panel 42 and held in position by itself. The bolted connections 44 have contact only with the first profile, in particular with the second profile section of the first profile of both profile frame systems 11, 12. The insulating panel 42 prevents a low resistance to heat transfer between the first profile of the second profile frame system 12 to the second profile of the second profile frame system 12.

5 shows a spatial representation of a door frame with the profile frame system 1 with thermal break according to the invention. The first profile 10 consists of several parts 51 along the profile frame system 1, which are spaced apart from one another in the transverse direction transversely to the longitudinal extent of the profile frame system 1. The bending forces that occur due to This does not add up over the entire length of the profile frame system 1, but only over the length of the individual parts 51 of the first profile 10. The forces that are produced by this, which are transmitted from each piece to the front side 5 of the panel arrangement 2 or along the center plane 4 to the side surfaces 3, 3' of the panel arrangement 2 are therefore smaller than in a profile frame system 1 comprising a first continuous profile 10.

The profile 10, 11 according to the invention or the profile frame system 1, 11, 12 can be used, for example, in the described door, in particular in a sliding door, to frame the commonly used rectangular glass pane , and, in fact, both as a vertical running profile (for example, on the main and/or secondary closing edge) and as a horizontal running profile on the upper and/or lower side of the glass or panel.

Since the vertical length of the door leaf is, as a rule, greater than its horizontal length, the profile according to the invention is preferably installed at least on the longest delimiting edge of a panel arrangement 2, i.e. say, for example, on the vertical edges.

Advantageously, the two profiles 10, 11 of the profile frame system 1 overlap in the direction of the heat flow, so that the bending center of gravity of the two profiles 10, 11 is preferably very close to each other or preferably at the axis of the glass or close to it, that is, in the center plane 4. In other words, the bending centers of gravity (or bending axes), which are parallel to the center plane 4, are located in the center plane 4 or, preferably, have a lateral distance from it that is less than 40%, preferably less than 30%, 20% or less than 10% of the thickness of the profile frame system 1 (measured perpendicular to the plane of the arrangement of panels 2). The support element 12, with its clamping devices 13, 14, serves so that the profiles 10, 11 remain connected to each other even under the action of tensile forces. In the event that the support element 12 is made of or comprises a plastic foam material, the tensile forces can be applied arbitrarily. Both profiles 10, 11 can be slightly displaced (less than 1 cm or 0.8 cm or 0.5 cm or 0.3 cm) relative to each other in the longitudinal direction. If the support element 12 consists of or comprises a plastic, the profiles 10, 11 can only be displaced relative to one another in the longitudinal direction when tensile forces occur.

The central plane 4 extends at least through the area in which the second profile section 102 of the first profile 10 and the second profile section 112 of the second profile 11 overlap.

The first profile 10 and the second profile 11 each have exactly one first and/or a second profile section 101, 102, 111, 112.

An area between the end of the second profile section 102 of the first profile 10 which is arranged closer to the first profile section 111 of the second profile 11 is free from the support element 12. An area between the end of the second profile section profile 112 of the second profile 11 which is arranged closer to the first profile section 101 of the first profile 10 is free from the support element 12.

The locking device preferably consists of or comprises plastic or metal and delimits the locking receiving space 25 which extends along the longitudinal direction of the profile frame system 1. The locking device can be formed as a single part with the support element 12 or with the first and/or second profile section 101, 102, 111, 112 of the first or second profile 10, 11. It can also be formed by a separate element that is attached to the support element 12 or to the first and/or second profile section 101, 102, 111, 112 of the first or second profile 10, 11, for example by means of an adhesive bond. The lock accommodation space 25 serves to accommodate a bolt 36 so that the door or gate or window cannot be opened. The bolt is inserted through an opening in the profile frame system 1 from the outside of the profile frame system 1 into it and serves so that the profile frame system 1 together with the panel arrangement can no longer be move relative to the wall. This bolt, together with the corresponding movement drive for the bolt, can also be considered part of the locking equipment.

In the following, some embodiments according to the invention of the profile frame system 1 are highlighted again separately.

An advantage of the 1 profile frame system is that:

- the first and/or the second profile 10, 11 and/or at least one spacer 38 are arranged totally or partially between the two panels 2a, 2b; I

- the second profile section 102 of the first profile 10 has a bearing area 8 which is directly or indirectly in contact or can be brought into contact with a front side 5 of the second panel 2b.

An additional advantage of the 1 profile frame system is that:
