Abstract

The invention relates to construction elements (10) for decorative and stylistic designs or embellishments of buildings, said elements comprising wood-plastic composite materials (WPC).

Description

components

The invention relates to components for the decorative and stylish design or beautification of buildings.

Such components or stylistic elements have long been known and are available in various shapes and designs. So far these are made of stones, for example granite or marble, concrete and sometimes also to a small extent made of wood.

These components also serve the decorative and stylish design or embellishment of facade surfaces and find their particular use in the border of windows, doors and components.

However, these components described above are extremely expensive to manufacture and can be produced only with great effort. In addition, they are very heavy and can therefore be processed only with difficulty. For all these reasons, these components described above are therefore extremely expensive not only in the production but also in the processing. The invention is therefore based on the object to provide components of the type mentioned, which are extremely inexpensive to produce, have low weights and can be mounted extremely easily.

This object is achieved by components of the type mentioned above, when they are made of wood-plastic composite materials. However, in general, the abbreviation of the English name Wood Plastic Composites, in short WPC, has become common in Germany and will be used in the following.

These components made of WPC include window sills, window frames, door frames, base plates, sill profiles, columns, skirting boards, decorative profiles, wall coverings, design elements and decorative parapets.

In general, WPC consists of different types of wood, plastics and additives and can therefore be produced and processed by thermoplastic molding processes due to the proportion of plastics.

Among others, extrusion, injection molding, rotational casting, pressing or thermoforming are the above mentioned molding processes.

The particular advantage of WPC is the low cost of raw materials, the significant weight reduction compared to conventional components as well as the design possibilities and environmental aspects, since they can be produced with "waste products". Components are particularly advantageous if they are window sills, window walls or door frames, which can be placed or the facade can be attached at an angle. It is meant with attachable that complete the window walls and the door frames with the facade. By contrast, it is meant at an angle that on the one hand the surface of the wall opening and on the other hand a small part of the facade are covered with these window walls or door frames.

Due to the material and also because of the low weight, it is of particular advantage that they can be fastened by gluing, screwing, welding or by clipping on corresponding counterparts.

According to one embodiment of the invention, it is provided that the door frames or window walls are provided with grooves for receiving seals. As a result, it can be prevented with complete certainty that water can occur between the masonry and the component, which can then have the known undesired effects.

If the windows or doors equipped with these components are provided with shutters and / or insect screens, then it is particularly advantageous if the door frames or window walls are provided with first and second recesses for receiving and guiding shutters and / or insect screens. As a result, subsequent working out of these corresponding grooves is unnecessary. Also, this eliminates attaching appropriate mostly U-shaped guide rails to these components for this purpose just mentioned. A further facilitation and time-saving attachment of these components is given when the seals are pre-compressed bands. 5

According to one embodiment of the invention, it is provided that the door frames or window walls are provided with an insulating layer, which are arranged in the assembled state between the window walls and the masonry 10.

In order to meet the taste wishes of the buyers if possible, it is advantageous if at least the surfaces visible in the assembled state are coated with varnish 15, or have a coextruded color mixture. Also films are applicable with appropriate technology as surface and weather protection.

Furthermore, for the same reason it is advantageous if at least the surfaces which are visible in the mounted state are provided with a cover which can be glued or clipped on.

It may be advantageous if the cover consists of metal and / or plastic.

A further embodiment of the invention provides that the door frames or window walls are provided with window frames, which are either attached to the components or can also be formed integrally therewith. As a result, the assembly time for the components and windows is reduced even more, since the frame can then be fastened simultaneously with the components. Depending on the need, it is still possible to provide the frame with corresponding internal reinforcements.

A development of the invention provides that in two-leaf windows or doors, a T-piece is connected to the frame or integrally formed therewith.

Again, it is possible that the tee has an internal reinforcement.

Another particularly advantageous embodiment provides that the wings of the windows or doors are made of hollow plastic composite materials (WPC).

It is also possible that also the glazing beads of the windows or doors as above consist of wood-plastic composites (WPC).

As energy production becomes more and more expensive and the components, in particular the doors and windows of a house, are increasingly provided with power-consuming devices, it is particularly advantageous if they are provided with energy-generating devices.

It has proven to be particularly advantageous if the energy supply devices are solar foils or solar cells.

A development of the invention provides that the energy generating devices on the surface of the components or in recordings formed in the surface are, are arranged. Of course, the choice for the end user is whether he wishes a relatively smooth surface or, if several rows of solar cells are arranged at a distance from each other, a kind of relief-like formation. It is also intended for solar foils. Of course, can be formed with the films due to their small thickness, a relief-like surface, although a recording for the entire film is advantageous in that the edges of the film complete with the other surface areas and can not be easily removed.

It is advantageous if the energy generating devices are attached to the components during or after the thermoplastic molding processes.

Depending on the material properties, it is therefore quite possible, even in the manufacture of the components, for example, by extrusion, injection molding, Rotationsgießverfahren, pressing techniques or Thermoformver- drive, the power generation devices to attach simultaneously to the components. However, it is also possible in these molding process even grooves or entire recesses, which are meant with the recordings to produce, and then subsequently attach the power generation facilities at the desired locations.

Of particular advantage, in particular in terms of

Strength and thermal insulation is when the sills, window walls and door frames also window and

Door elements made of metal, plastic or wood or any combination thereof can accommodate. Further features and advantages of the invention will become apparent from the following description of several embodiments and from the figures to which reference is made. Show it:

With reference to the figures 1 to 15 are now different

Embodiments of components 10 described. These

Components 10 serve as style elements for facade construction and serve the decorative and stylish design or

Beautification of the corresponding facade surfaces.

Unless otherwise stated, identical reference numbers refer to identical objects, at least similar objects.

Although in the figures only door frames 16 or window walls 14, partially with window sills 12, are shown. are, these components 10 may well still be base plates, Simsprofile, columns, baseboards, decorative profiles, wall coverings, design elements or Zierpostamente.

In the following, however, only window walls 14 or door frames 16 will be described without acting with respect to the other components 10.

Fig.l and 2 show two basic shapes for window walls 14 and Türumrahmungen 16, wherein in Fig.2 also in addition a sill 12 is shown, which is also to count the above-mentioned components 10.

As already indicated above, the components 10 serve for the decorative and stylish design or beautification of buildings. All components 10 have in common that they are made of wood-plastic composites, which in the following only with WPC (Wood-Plastic-composite -) - are called - ^" because ^" this term WPC has become naturalized.

Due to the proportion of plastic, it is possible that these components 10 can be manufactured and processed by means of thermoplastic molding processes.

These shaping processes may be extrusion, coextrusion in different colors, for example, injection molding, rotational casting, compression molding or thermoforming. These thermoforming processes can be used, for example, for the horseshoe-shaped building elements 10 shown in FIG. 3 shortly before complete curing in order to ensure this horseshoe-shaped form. The remainder of the description relates to components 10 which are window sills 12, window wains 14 or door frames 16. In this case, a distinction is once made roughly between window casings 14 or door frames 16 which can be placed on the facade 18 and can be placed in the mutually facing surfaces of the wall opening and also surround the facade 18 at an angle.

These components 10 or window frames 14 or door frames 16 can either be glued to the corresponding location of the facade 18 and the masonry 36, so screwed, welded or clipped onto corresponding counterparts 20. 5, a counterpart 20 is indicated.

Both FIGS. 4 and 5 have in common that the corresponding components 10 have no further grooves or the like, except for the small example of FIG. 5, the counterpart 20. However, as shown in FIG. 6, the window walls 14 or door frames can be used 16 be provided with grooves 22, in which engage the masonry 36 and on the facade 18 mounted seals or bands 24. Of course, these grooves 22 are aligned in the installed state in the direction of the masonry 36 and the facade 18.

6, the window lining 14 or the door frame 16 is shown with a first recess 26 for receiving a roller shutter 30 and a second recess 28 for receiving an insect screen 32 on the side facing a frame 40. The window frame 14 shown in FIG. 6 or the illustrated door frame 16 is attached to the masonry and additionally has a roller shutter 30 and insect screen 32 in the corresponding first and second recesses 26 and 28, is illustrated particularly clearly in FIG.

Of course, it is not necessary that both a roller shutter 30 and an insect screen 32 must be present. This is only the choice of the customer.

As can be seen in particular from FIG. 12b, the seals can be pre-compressed strips 24, which have a web 52 facing the masonry 36. By removing this web 52, the seal can then expand and thus seal the component 10 or the window covering 14 or the door frame 16.

Another way of sealing is shown in Fig.11. The window facing 14- or-. - Provided the Türumjfähmüng 16 on the side facing the opening side of the masonry 36 side with an insulating layer 34. This insulating layer 34 forms at the corresponding surface of the device 10 is a coating to seal the masonry 36 and / or dam.

Although not apparent in the figures, it is possible that at least the surfaces visible in the assembled state are coated with paint. It is also possible to provide by coextrusion a color mixing at the corresponding desired locations. But it is also possible to apply with appropriate techniques films as surface and weather protection. A further possibility of protection of the free surface of the component 10 is given by the fact that at least the surfaces visible in the assembled state are provided with a cover 38, this cover 38 either being glued or clipped on.

Preferably, this cover 38 is made of metal and / or plastic.

Previously, the window walls 14 and door frames 16 were used only as an exclusive ornament.

FIGS. 9, 10 and 12, however, show a further variant in which the window covering 14 or the door frame 16 is extended so far that a part of it forms the frame 40 '.

Here, this frame 40 'may either be connected to the rest of the component 10, preferably this ^frame' 40 'but ^"integrally connected with this device 10 and therefore is made of the same material, namely WPC.

As can be seen from FIGS. 9, 10 and 12, a series of seals or corresponding grooves 24 are provided in the region of the frame 40 'made of WPC in order to securely seal the frame relative to a wing 48.

Basically, in FIG. 10, substantially the same image is shown as in FIG

Frame is formed flush with the outer surface of the wing 48, to ensure a safe drainage of water Afford. The remaining components are identical to those of FIG.

FIG. 12 a shows a sectional plan view of a window or door 44.

Again, the frame 40 'integrally formed with the window walls 14 and the Türumrahmungen 16.

In addition, since these are double-leafed windows or doors 44, a so-called T-piece 46 is still present in the center, which in this particular case also consists of the same WPC material as the others in this figure shown window walls 14 and Türumrahmungen 16.

Furthermore, the frame 40 'and the T-piece 46 are provided with corresponding internal reinforcements 42, which may well have different shapes, - as shown in Fig.12a-clearly.

Another possibility of the design, which is not shown in the figures, however, is that the wings 48 of the windows or doors 44 are made of WPC. It is then also possible to produce the glazing beads 50 also of this material. This ensures a uniform, visually pleasing image.

Since electrical components are increasingly being used, in particular, for doors and windows of a house, such as, for example, electrical interlocks or possibly blind settings or even alarm systems, in one of these like house of electricity consumption increased. In order to produce this stream as cheaply as possible, it is provided according to a further embodiment of the components 10 to provide them with power supply means 54. 5 The currently most widespread power generation devices 54 are either solar foils 56 of the solar cells 58. These power generation devices 54 are shown in FIGS. 13, 14, 15 merely by way of example. In FIG. 13, a window covering 14 or a door frame 16 is shown

10, in which, for example, a strand of a plurality of solar cells 58 is arranged. Of course, all outwardly facing surfaces can be provided by the window trim 14 or door frame 16 with such strands.

15

The strands of solar cells 58 can be arranged either flush or at a distance to each other, depending on how much are needed or even desired.

For example, FIG. 14 shows how a window sill 12 can be provided with solar cells 58. Here, too, it is possible to provide the entire window sill or only the edge pieces with these solar cells 58 with cell segments of solar cells 58. What of Figures 13 and 14

25 is not apparent, is the possibility that these solar cells 58 as a strand or as a cell segment or the entire surface on the surface of the components 10 or in so-called shots, which are formed in the surface, are arranged.

30

In Fig. 15 is applied as a power generating device 54, a solar film 56 on a window trim 14 or door frame 16 in this case over the entire surface. It is self- understand that the solar film 56 can be attached only partially to the window trim 14 or the door frame 16 and of course also on a windowsill 12 can be attached.

Even with the solar film 56, it is possible to carry out the education and molding options mentioned in connection with the solar cells 58. The individual components 10 are therefore provided with energy-producing solar foils 56 or solar cells 58, for example in the form of cell segments, in order to generate an additional energy for as long as possible for 24 hours.

The individual components 10 are produced by means of thermoplastic molding processes. At the same time, it is also possible to install the energy generating devices 54 at the same time as this shaping method, which however depends on the materials for the energy generating devices 54.

It is therefore possible, depending on the chosen material, to fix the energy generating devices 54 already during the production of the components 10.

Not shown in the figures, the possibility in the molding process also already grooves or entire recesses for receiving the film sections or the films or the solar cell rods or the solar cell plates form, which then only with the final end Energieerzeugungseinrichtugen 54 must be provided. This creates a smooth surface that does not have large cracks. In terms of strength and thermal insulation, it is particularly advantageous if the sills, window walls and door frames also window and door elements

Metal, plastic or wood or any combination thereof.

According to the invention it is therefore possible to produce the previously extremely expensive and laborious to install components much cheaper and also much easier to install. Furthermore, of course, this also a cost-effective retrofitting of wall openings, which had no components, possible. Furthermore, it is possible according to the invention to provide the components with energy generating devices that generate the required power cost for a variety of electrical equipment on the doors or windows.

Another major advantage of using WPC for the devices is that WPC has high strength and high thermal insulation.
