Profile Structure. - Profilkonstruktion.

The invention relates to a profile structure for the assembly of windows, doors, partition elements and the like.

Such profiles are suitable both in building construction and, for example, in vehicles such as caravans and mobile homes, for the assembly of windows, doors and partition elements, etc. Traditionally, such an assembly has used a pair of profiles connected to each other by screws. It is an object of the present invention to provide a profile structure which does not require screws for assembling the profile structure, which enables a simple and labor-saving assembly. To achieve this object, the structure according to the invention is characterized by the things set forth in the characterizing part of claim 1.

The advantages of the structure according to the present invention are e.g. the fact that the wedge provides a uniform tight compression all the way, also forming a very rigid housing-like structure. Compared to the screw connection, the wedge provides a higher compressive force. In addition, such a strong attachment to e.g. a door leaf makes it possible to use the element as a load-bearing structure. Detachment of the wedge from the profile structure is preferably prevented by means of a locking projection in the wedge and a corresponding locking cavity in the frame profile.

The invention will now be described with reference to the accompanying drawings, in which:

Figure 1 shows a frame profile, 2 '83253, of a first embodiment of a profile structure according to the invention

Figure 2 shows a wedge profile of a profile structure according to the invention,

Fig. 3 is a cross-sectional view of the profile structure of Figs. 1 and 2 assembled, and

Figure 4 shows another embodiment of a frame profile of a profile structure according to the invention.

According to Figures 1-3, the profile structure comprises a frame profile 1, which is preferably H-shaped in cross section. The transverse part 9 of H divides the cross section of the frame profile into two parts, one opening 3 of which forms a gripping space for a window, door or similar plate 11 while the second opening 4 forms a wedge space 4. A fastening space 6 is further arranged between the wedge space 4 and the transverse part 9 enables, for example, lateral screw connections or the mounting of an angle guide so that the screw or guide cannot affect the wedge 2 or the gripping space 3 with its seals 12 on the plate 11. The gripping space 3 is preferably provided with lips 5 on the inner edge of the H-branches forming the sides. 11 in place of the seal 12 used for fastening. In addition, the wedge space 4 is preferably provided with a locking cavity 8 and the wedge profile 2 is provided with locking projections 7 on the wedge surfaces, respectively, which fit into the locking cavities 8 when assembling the profile structure. In addition, protrusions 13 are formed between the wedge space 4 and the fastening space 6, which facilitate, for example, the fastening of the angle guide to the profile structure in order to make a corner connection. The front edges 15 of the wedge surfaces 14 of the wedge profile 2, i.e. the edges which first settle in the wedge space 4, are preferably chamfered or rounded to facilitate installation. The wedge profile 2 is preferably a tubular profile with a square or rectangular cross-section. This structure makes the wedge relatively light, but at the same time strong.

In the exemplary embodiment of Fig. 4, the frame profile 1 is provided with two gripping spaces 3 opening in opposite directions, between which a wedge space 4 is formed. The wedge space 4 opens laterally with respect to the opening plane defined by the gripping spaces 3, preferably substantially perpendicular to said plane. In this case, the frame profile 1 has two transverse bases 16 between the wedge space 4 and each gripping space 3, which transverse bases 16 at the same time form the walls 4a of the wedge space 4.

When assembling the profile structure of Figures 1-3, the fastening plate 11 with its seals 12 is first mounted in the gripping space 3, so deep that the locking projections 7 settle in the locking cavities 8, whereby the detachment of the wedge, e.g. due to vibration or the like, is prevented. For corner joints, an angle guide (not shown) is preferably installed at each corner, which is placed in the fastening space 6. The fastening space 6 can be used to fasten the profile structure to another structure, for example by drilling a through hole in the frame profile 1 for fastening screws or the like. Due to the fastening space 6, the screw does not affect the wedge profile 2 or the plate 11. The profile structure according to Fig. 4 is assembled in a corresponding manner. In this case, the other frame profiles preferably correspond to e.g. Figures 1-3 and only the profile between the plates is according to Figure 4.

Aluminum, aluminum alloys or other similar light metal alloys are preferably used as the profile structure material, but other metals or possibly plastics are also suitable as the structural material of the profile structure according to the present invention.
