Description

ADJUSTABLE VERTICAL REINFORCEMENT ELEMENT FOR A SLIDING SASH THAT IS MOVABLE FROM ONE PLANE TO A PLANE PARALLEL TO THE FRAME}

The present invention relates to a vertical reinforcing element for a sliding door or sliding window (as a method and apparatus invention). The lower horizontal chassis hinge is connected to one or more carriages located on the rails of the window frames with rollers through extension arms. A corresponding torque occurs when opening the chassis, which, in conjunction with the load of the chassis in the open position (= parallel tilting), exerts a tremendous twisting action on the lower horizontal posts of the chassis.

Vertical reinforcement elements require corner reinforcement in the drive area of the chassis, which in turn acts against the torsion of the lower chassis doorposts. This works against twisting, which increases the consumption of enormous force when closing the chassis.

Edge reinforcement in this manner is known, for example, from EP-A 1 132 562 (HAUTAU) and EP-A 1 391 576 (HAUTAU). Such reinforcement elements are known which have a fixed and constant contact with the chassis when the reinforcement elements are assembled. This means that for different chassis materials such as plastic, wood and metal or for different chassis weights, for example due to the weight of glass, the torsion generated cannot be uniform and comparably relaxed.

It is an object of the present invention to provide a vertical reinforcement element that can be used in different door posts in which the vertical reinforcement elements function properly, and which can be adjusted irrespective of what structure the door sill of the window chassis is formed of and made of which material. will be.

This object of the invention is solved through the features of claims 1 or 10 as a method having the features of claims 11 or 12.

An adjusting means (as a regulating device) at the upper end of the vertical reinforcing element (bolt of the vertical reinforcing element) affects this upper end and because of the spacing of the vertical reinforcing element Change the angle For example, when the angle is adjusted to a negative value, the lower horizontal chassis doorpost is lifted with a carriage arranged on the doorpost.

The parallel position of the vertical jamb and the bolt corresponds to an angle corresponding to zero.

The parallel position is only relative to the chassis. The parallel position may be slightly different in the small angle region (claim 13) when the insertion region (insertion opening) for the bolt is inclined with respect to the plane of the support surface of the support profile for the horizontal chassis jamb. This may occur in the region of ± 5 °, preferably ± 2 °. "Parallel position" should limit this range.

The horizontal plane extending perpendicular to the extension of the window frame is not perpendicular to the extension of the bolt. It is possible to recognize deviations due to subsidence in the tilting arm for the carriage and in particular for the steady state of non-compensation. The larger the flat horseshoe, the greater the weight of the chassis (in some cases, including chassis inserts, for example, glass). The bolt is clearly inclined at a positive positive angle with respect to the surface of the vertical doorpost, and the parallel position raises the horizontal surface "settled" in a direction that is actually vertical, hypothetical to the perfect horizontal plane relative to the window frame. A situation that is not fully compensated may result in pre-compensation. When the settled plane becomes high (accordingly: when warped) in the insertion region of the support profile (claim 12 or 10) so that the settled plane coincides with the horizontal and vertical planes with respect to the surface of the window frame. Full compensation is achieved.

The selective confinement of the pressure change at the upper end of the vertical reinforcing element is in varying the upper end spacing of the bolt relative to the surface of the vertical chassis door, so that a path controlled torque is formed in the insertion region of the support profile, the torque Formation is rewarded. Such compensation may be expressed as “spaced controlled settling compensation” in connection with the extension arms of the carriage.

The bolt concept, which can have different cross-sectional shapes (claim 4), is functionally understandable. The bolt extends in the longitudinal direction and is inserted at the bottom of the support profile. The bolt supplies torque to the profile. In addition, thick plates extending in the longitudinal direction fulfill this purpose. In general terms, the "bolt" represents a torque lever extending in the longitudinal direction, which is clamped downward and adjusted upward (in angle position or spacing to the vertical doorpost). The bolt executes torque in the clamping position (claim 10), and the clamping position can achieve and adjust the "settling" compensation of the chassis.

The connection of the bolt and the support profile at one or both corners is at least in shape fit according to claim 1. In addition, the connection for the condensation fit connection may also be effected as a condensation fit or an interference fit, including the shape fit. An integral connection, ie attaching the bolt directly to the support profile (as part), can also be understood as "at least a shape fit". This is not a standalone, but an overlapping configuration. The integral type (claim 4) is also carried out by welding or bonding. The rivet process cannot produce a one-piece, but it can be forced fit. All these connections are possible and the bolt can only be removed if it is inserted into a vertical or slightly inclined insertion opening in the support profile. The removal of such bolts for the reinforcement element is not necessary, but rather fulfills the purpose of the vertical reinforcement element, in which the integral part in the corner region can be converted.

The insertion can supply higher torque to a wider altitude section of the support profile. For example, it may be conceivable to initially fit the shape by inserting an additional connection process by welding. This connection process combines the stability and elasticity of the connection. Instead of the welding, the adhesion can likewise fulfill both functions with respect to insertion without tolerance.

There is another dependent claim here.

Further details and advantages of the adjustable vertical reinforcement element are described in detail below in connection with the corresponding embodiment.

According to the present invention, a vertical reinforcing element can be used for different door posts in which the reinforcing element suitably functions, and a vertical reinforcing element that can be adjusted irrespective of what structure the door sill of the window chassis is formed of and made of which material is provided. .

FIG. 3 shows the device for the vertical reinforcement element in the same position as in FIG. 2 where the device does not correspond to the identifiable twist of the lower chassis jamb 1a, and FIG.
FIG. 4 shows how the lower chassis jamb is lifted with the arm 5 of the carriage 4 arranged on the chassis jamb through the operation of the device as in FIG.

5a, 5b show longitudinal cross sections along the vertical cutting plane AA of FIG. 5 in the two angle positions of the adjusting element as bolts 7 ′,
5c shows a top view of the device according to FIG. 5,
FIG. 5d shows the device of the opposite side (lower surface or assembly surface) according to FIG. 5.

For a better understanding, the device according to the embodiment of the present invention is shown in the assembled state of the lower right corner region of the chassis 1 in Figures 2 to 4, wherein the horizontal door post (1a) and vertical door post ( 1b) are connected to each other. This assembly state corresponds to the embodiment of FIG. 5, but is not described above.

FIG. 1 shows the lower region of the sliding chassis 1, in which the horizontal jamb 1a of the sliding chassis is connected with two vertical jambs 1b. In the window frame 2, a rail 3 is tightly connected to the track 3a, and a carrier 4 is placed on the rail, and the carrier is arranged rigidly (not sliding) on the horizontal door post of the chassis frame. It is pivotally connected (swivel shaft 50) via a sliding chassis and an extension arm 5 on each of the supported support profiles 6. The vertical reinforcement element of FIG. 1 and the auxiliary means for the adjustment of the vertical reinforcement element are implied by (7, 8).

2 to 4 show the vertical cross section of the adjustable reinforcing element, in the case of the sash 1 tilted from the window frame 2, each of which is described identically but with respect to each other of the bolts 7 relative to the vertical scaffold 1b. It has another angle (alpha). This corresponds to different torques in the insertion region 6a of each support profile.

2 shows the carrier 4 with the extending arm 5 pivoted outward and the carrier connection via the support profile 6 in the chassis. In the latter case, the lower section 7b of the longitudinally extending torque-lever 7, which can be used as a reinforcing element, can be inserted into the insertion opening 6a without tolerances. This lever is a long, strong bolt 7 with a transverse cross section in the form of a circle or several corners.

Each of the two support profiles 6 is a plate-shaped web 6 ′ which lowerly engages the lower jamb at the side facing the lower jamb 1a and the lever 7 with a predetermined, preferably It has a profile for fixing at a distance "e" parallel to the support surface E. Figure 2 shows the device in the first position corresponding to partial compensation, so that the section of the lever 7 (hereafter referred to as bolt 7) protruding upwards through the support profile shows The same and parallel spacing X = e from the outer face of 1b) lies in the cutting plane of the figure shown above the end of the bolt 7 to understand a comparison with another situation shown in FIGS. 3 and 4. It is denoted by an angle α (α is 0 in FIG. 2).

A similar situation in FIG. 2 relates to the insertion region 6a in which the bolt 7 is inserted. The insertion zone has a gap e that remains the same when the insertion zone extends parallel to the surface E of the support profile 6. In another embodiment, not shown, the insertion region 6a may be slightly inclined relative to the surface E, for example in relation to the angle surface of the support profile in the angle region associated with the direction and axis of the insertion region 6a. -5 degrees to +5 degrees. (e) does not change in correspondence with the angle α. The axis of the insertion zone 6a is the cut surface of the axis 700 of the bolt 7.

At its upper end the bolt 7 has a cross section 7a in the form of a web (parallel) which is generally parallel to the outer surface of the doorpost. In this cross section a similar one is provided for the insertion of the adjustment member, such as the screw 8 inserted in the bore 7c or the chassis door post 1b. The head 8 'of the screw 8 is arranged on the outer surface of the web-shaped cross section 7a.

If the insertion region 6a is slightly inclined relative to the surface E of the support profile 6, the cross section 7a of the web shape is also not completely parallel to the surface of the vertical scaffold 1a. It can be based on the fact that this web cross section 7a generally extends parallel to the surface in the case of the inclined angle of the insertion region 6a due to the short extension of the web shaped cross section in the vertical direction.

Partial compensation of the chassis weight shown in FIG. 2 originates from the device of the head 8 ′ in the cross section 7a of the web form. Already here pressure is provided in the cross section of the web shape, the pressure being generated by screwing the screw 8 into the vertical chassis jamb 1a, thereby lifting the lower end of the chassis (the torque is in the right direction). Headed, mathematically negative).

 This pressure generation in relation to the extension arm 5 of the carriage 4 can be evident through the two planes 500 and 501 indicated, which planes are not extended in parallel, but at each other at an angle of> 0. Facing in the opposite direction. 500 is a plane lying on the vertical plane of the window frame 2 in the vertical direction. The plane extends "ideally" beyond the center of the extension arm. The chassis weight F1 causes the chassis to twist the extension arm 5 itself, which causes the left outer end of the chassis arm to lie deeper than the flat 500 described above. The central plane of the loaded arm 5 is the plane 501, which plane has the angle shown, ie: an angle error and the screw 8 is already screwed in in FIG. It is partially compensated for by being provided in the upper web section 7a, which causes the bolt 7 to rotate to the right, resulting in the corresponding torque of the support profile 6 insertion region 6a.

The angle deviation when the load shown in FIG. 3 is applied becomes clear, in which case the chassis weight F1 will generally affect the settling position of the extension arm 5 of the carriage 4. It corresponds to a situation in which the compensation (two itself, namely the arm 5 and the carriage 4) has not been carried out.

In FIG. 3, which is shown identically to FIG. 2, the lower region of the chassis is inclined in the direction of the window frame 2 due to the position and load F = F1, and the vertical reinforcement elements are shown in correspondingly uncompensated positions. The chassis position and the load of the chassis have the result of the angle α1 between the bolt 7 and the vertical chassis jamb 1b. This causes the closure of the chassis from the fitted position generally requiring the use of greater force. However, this is suppressed due to the adjustment of the vertical reinforcement element.

The advantage of the adjustable reinforcing element is clearly shown in FIG. 4, which is of the type as shown in FIGS. 2 and 3. In FIG. 4, the adjusting screw 8 is tightened tightly, and the lower door post 1a of the sash is separated from the window frame 2 through the upper end face 7a of the bolt 7 which is correspondingly applied with transverse pressure. Rotating, which generally facilitates the closing process of the chassis.

The bolt 7 is known as a torque-lever and is of elongated geometry and may be formed as a polygon-bolt or circular bolt or elongated plate. In the partially compensated position shown in FIG. 2 the bolts are generally arranged parallel to the surface of the chassis. Due to the inclination of the chassis, which is inclined due to the weight of the chassis, the screw head 8 'is fixed to the flat surface 7a and placed in a pressure (compression force) state. Tightening the screw 8 has the result that the angle α moves to a negative angle, ie the bolt 7 moves adjacent to the surface. The spacing between the web 7a and the jamb 16 is (a2) with respect to FIG.

Reference may also be made to the dash path which has an effect through the lever arm 7 as a force of the support profile 6 and a force provided through the adjusting member 8. The spacing a between the flat face 7a and the chassis face affects the torque. The larger the gap, as shown in FIG. 3, the smaller the gap, as shown in FIG. In other words, this is the spacing adjustment torque, which abuts on the support profile 6 and can be adjusted to the dimensions of the support profile for adjustment to different chassis.

The pressure in contact with the upper end as lever 7 (which is essentially a whole vertical reinforcement element) can be understood that a path-adjustment or spacing change occurs at the upper end with respect to the chassis, the change in spacing being accompanied by Causing a change in height of the chassis in the support profile area.

5 shows another improved form of the vertical reinforcement element. The vertical reinforcing element is shown in a front view with a bolt 7 ′ and an axis 701 of the bolt.

A particularly stable assembly plate 9 is included, the assembly plate having two shoulders 13, 13 ′ arranged at intervals at the lower end of the assembly plate, the shoulder being supported by the support profile 6 during assembly. And a corresponding mounting profile, the support profile is attached to the lower chassis hinge and assembled (see FIGS. 1 and 4). The assembly plate 9 has an opening or bore 10 for inserting screws in the upper region to secure the upper region to the vertical chassis door, which openings or bores are "opposite" spacing in pairs. It is provided. In the example shown, two pairs are shown, one arranged at a horizontal interval and the other at a vertical interval.

The upper end of the assembly plate 9 has a groove 8a ″ for fixing the head 8a ′ of the powerful screw bolt 8a on the rear side. A bulging area of the plate is provided in the opposite face area of the plate 9), the bulging area being adjusted or correspondingly shaped to the shape and thickness on the top face 7 * of the bolt 7 '. (12b) is meshed. This bolt is provided with threaded bores 8b corresponding to the threads of the threaded bolts 8a at the flat side.

On the side opposite to the bolt 7 ′ there is a groove 12a in which the plate 9 extends downwards, the outline of which is indicated by dashed lines in FIG. An elongated opening 11 is provided in the upper region of the groove in the plate 9. This opening can be seen from the ones shown in figures 5a and 5b-corresponding to the vertical cross-section AA of figure 5 and likewise showing a view of the opposite side of the vertical reinforcement element with the corresponding adjustment as compared to figure 5. It can also be seen in FIG. 5D.

FIG. 5c shows an arrangement with side (outwardly bent) projections 9a, 9b according to FIG. 5 viewed vertically from above. The bolt 7 'can identify a flat surface 12b that is chamfered upwards (7 ") and lies opposite.

Figure 5a shows the device in a neutral (parallel) functional position, in which the assembly plate 9 with the bolt 7 'forms an angle 0 (parallel position). Figure 5d shows the device in a pretensioned position, in which the threaded bolt 8a is fully fitted in the threaded bore 8d of the bolt 7 'and the screwed bolt is assembled to the assembly plate 9 Inclined to In the case of this slope, the upper section is slightly lowered below the groove 12a and opening of the plate 9.

A through portion 9c is located in the lower region of the plate 9, which is formed as a support surface for the bolt 7 '. The bolts 7 'are arranged in a relaxed state to allow the bolts to pivot as shown clearly in FIG. 5B. Arranging the bolts on the penetrations (right side of FIGS. 5A and 5B) allows the bolts to pivot even without bearings. The bolts are themselves fixed upwards by threaded bolts 8a and are arranged at least downwardly in a shape fit in the support profile 6 of the chassis.

The side guides of the bolt arise from the two protrusions 9a, 9b of Fig. 5c (viewed from above). These two bent lugs, which are bent outwardly from the plate 9, are spaced from each other and arranged on both sides of the bolt 7 ′. This corresponds approximately to the middle of the overall height of the base plate 9. In this way, the bolt acquires a side guide, which can likewise be pivoted. The side scissor of the bolt is blocked through these fastening elements 9a, 9b. In addition, the horizontal force of the bolt 7 ′ can thus be transmitted to the plate 9.

With respect to the screw bolt 8a, the head 8 'of the screw bolt is inserted through the plate 9 to the rear, i.e. the window frame side, and still has a tolerance even after the plate assembly, so that the screw bolt Can be rotated. Rotation is effected in the axial direction of the screw bolt by inserting the tool into the opening profile 8d, which opening profile may be a number of corners and preferably passes completely through the screw bolt 8a. In addition, only a front opening is possible (depending on the type of profiled blind).

Another kind of insertion of a tool into this threaded bolt, which causes a torque change of the lower sector 7b 'of the torque-lever as bolt 7', is also possible.

Due to the tolerance of the threaded bolt 8a the spacing "b" of the torque lever and the plate 9 in the upper region is changed and the changed torque in the lower region of the torque lever is generated as a bolt 7 ', In the above, the bolts are arranged in the support profile (insertion area 6a).

Obviously, the two embodiments shown in FIGS. 1 to 4 and 5 illustrate the device's reinforcement action and the device's pre- or post-assembly action at the corner reinforcement and the device's reinforcement against torsion of the lower door sash of the chassis affected by the material and construction of the window frame. Making adjustments in the fitted position is possible without difficulty.

With this. Compensation for the use of a large force when closing the device and the chassis fitted with it when using a suitable edge reinforcement is possible.
