Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to a sill system for doors or windows, particularly for sliding doors or windows, having a sill element having a lower side facing the building body and having at least one adapter profile arranged on the lower side of the sill element for height adjustment of the sill system, the sill element being supported on the building body by the adapter profile, wherein the sill element and the adapter profile have their respective coupling sections through which the adapter profile is releasably coupled to the sill element. Background Technology

[0002] This type of sill system is specifically used to support the fixed frame (blendrahmen) or sash assembly of doors or windows directly or indirectly to the ground. The sill element can be connected to the building structure, such as a concrete floor, for example, via fastening corner brackets or the like. Height adjustment via the adapter profile ensures, for example, that the surface of the sill element or the surface of the intermediate profile fixed to the sill element is flush with the floor surface in a desired manner. For this purpose, a suitable adapter profile can be selected, for example, from a set of adapter profiles of different heights.

[0003] A wide variety of adapter profiles are available on the market, often differing in the design of their coupling sections. Sill system manufacturers therefore dedicate themselves to preparing various types of sill elements with correspondingly designed coupling sections to enable the use of all types of adapter profiles. This involves a considerable amount of work. Even more problematic is that profile manufacturers sometimes change the design of the coupling section, necessitating the redesign and manufacture of new sill elements. Summary of the Invention

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to simplify the manufacture of the type of sill system.

[0005] This objective is achieved by a sill system having the features of claim 1.

[0006] According to the present invention, the sill element has a base and a separate adapter profile fixed on the base, and the coupling section of the sill element is formed on the separate adapter profile.

[0007] Therefore, adapter profiles can be used to adapt sill components to different adapter profiles. In other words, different sill components are not required. The design, manufacturing, and storage of adapter profiles are simpler and less costly than those for sill components. Subsequent adaptation of existing sill components to match a given adapter profile is also straightforward.

[0008] Preferably, the separate adapter profile is releasably fixed to the base so that the adapter profile can be easily replaced when needed.

[0009] The individual adapter profile can be secured to the base via a plug-in connection. This makes connecting the base and the adapter profile particularly quick and easy, and allows the adapter profile to be easily detached from the base when needed.

[0010] According to a specific configuration of the invention, the separate adapter profile is fixed to the substrate via a plug-in connection and additionally bonded to the substrate. This bonding provides greater stability to the sill element, which is necessary in certain applications.

[0011] Preferably, at least one groove is formed on the substrate, extending along the longitudinal axis of the sill element, and a rib of a separate adapter profile is inserted into the groove. The groove and the rib work together to form a particularly simple plug-in connection.

[0012] One embodiment of the present invention specifies the provision of at least two different, selectively fixed individual adapter profiles on a substrate, each having a different coupling section, wherein the adapter profiles fixed on the substrate are selected from the at least two different adapter profiles. Therefore, the adapter profile can be fixed to the substrate according to the adapter profile to be used, with its coupling section matching the coupling section of the adapter profile. This improves the flexibility in the manufacture of the sill system.

[0013] The coupling sections of the adapter profile and the matching profile can work together to form a snap-fit ​​connection, allowing the matching profile to snap into or onto the base. This simplifies the installation of the sill system.

[0014] It can be specified that the individual adapter profile includes a flat base section with two opposing flat sides, one flat side for abutting against the underside of the sill element, and at least one snap-fit ​​tongue extending from the other flat side for snap-fit ​​connection. This forms a particularly simple structure. Preferably, multiple snap-fit ​​tongues extend from the respective flat sides to ensure particularly stable retention of the adapter profile on the adapter profile, and / or to achieve synergy with corresponding snap-fit ​​elements of different adapter profiles.

[0015] The individual adapter profile and / or fitting profile can be designed as an extruded profile. This makes manufacturing particularly fast and inexpensive, especially when the adapter profile is designed as a flat component.

[0016] According to another embodiment of the invention, the sill element has an upper side facing away from the lower side, on which a guide rail is arranged for carrying and / or guiding a movable wing of a door or window. Along the guide rail, for example, the movable wing can be pushed in front of the fixed wing to release the passage. The guide rail can be bonded and / or screwed to the sill element.

[0017] The substrate can include a solid profile made of closed-cell foam material. Therefore, there are no channels in the sill element that could absorb moisture and guide it to the wall. The closed-cell structure of the foam material also prevents the sill element from absorbing moisture. To manufacture different sill systems, only one type of solid profile needs to be provided, as adapter profiles allow for compatibility with different profiles, and these adapter profiles have a unified interface with the substrate.

[0018] The sill element may also have at least one cover plate profile that rests against the solid profile. This cover plate profile is used to reinforce the foam portion and provide a scratch-resistant surface.

[0019] Another embodiment of the invention specifies that at least two different, selectively arranged adapter profiles are provided on the underside of the sill element, having different coupling sections and / or different heights, wherein the adapter profiles arranged on the underside of the sill element are selected from the at least two different adapter profiles. Therefore, a height-fitting sill system can be provided in a simple manner. It is not necessary to provide a dedicated sill element for each different adapter profile.

[0020] The present invention also relates to a door or window having a sill system and a wing fan, particularly a sliding door or window, wherein the wing fan is movable relative to the sill system, particularly movable on the sill system by means of a roller device.

[0021] According to the present invention, the sill system is configured as described above.

[0022] Further improvements to the present invention can be derived from the dependent claims, the specification, and the drawings. Attached Figure Description

[0023] The present invention will now be described by way of example with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0024] Figure 1 This is a schematic diagram of a sliding door with a sill system according to the present invention.

[0025] Figure 2 The cross-sections of the base of the sill system according to the present invention and two different transition profiles are shown.

[0026] Figure 3 Two sill elements of a sill system according to a first embodiment of the present invention are shown, having different heights of fitting profiles.

[0027] Figure 4 Two sill elements of a sill system according to a second embodiment of the present invention are shown, having different heights of fitting profiles. Detailed Implementation

[0028] Figure 1A sliding door 11 is shown, which has a horizontally movable wing 15. The wing 15 includes a wing frame profile 17 and a glass element 19 held by the wing frame profile. For moving the wing 15, a device consisting of multiple trolleys is provided; however, in… Figure 1 It cannot be seen from the text.

[0029] To support the wing fan 15 and a fixed wing fan (not shown) on the building structure (such as a concrete floor), a sill system 20 with an elongated sill element 25 is provided. The sill element 25 has a lower side 26 facing the building structure and an upper side 27 facing away from the lower side 26. A guide rail 21 for supporting and / or guiding the movable wing fan 15 is fixed on the upper side 27 of the sill element 25. In particular, the guide rail 21 supports and guides the rollers of the wing fan 15's trolley in a manner known in principle, so that the wing fan 15 can move along the sill system 20.

[0030] Two fitting profiles 28 are arranged at the lower side 26 of the bottom sill element 25. Figure 1 Only one of them can be seen in the image. The adapter profile 28 is used for height adjustment of the sill system 20, as described in more detail below.

[0031] The sill element 25 includes a base 31 and two separate adapter profiles 32 and 33 fixed to the base 31. The two different configurations of the adapter profiles 32 and 33... Figure 2 The image is shown as a separate view from the substrate 31. The substrate 31 preferably comprises a solid profile made of a closed-cell foam material (e.g., expanded PET foam). The transition profiles 32 and 33 can be designed as extruded profiles made of plastic, metal, or composite materials.

[0032] Two grooves 35 are formed on the base 31, extending parallel to each other at a spacing of 37 along the entire length of the base 31. Ribs 39 provided on the transition profiles 32 and 33 can be inserted into the grooves 35.

[0033] Each adapter profile 32, 33 includes a flat base section 41 with two opposing flat sides 42, 43. The upper flat side 42 is used to abut against the lower side 26 of the base 31. Ribs 39 extend from the upper flat side 42. Multiple differently shaped snap-fit ​​tongues 45 extend from the lower flat side 43 of each adapter profile 32, 33.

[0034] Figure 3 and Figure 4Various sill systems 20 according to the invention are shown, having ribs 39 inserted into recesses 35. Adapter profiles 32, 33 may additionally be bonded to the base 31. A snap-fit ​​tongue 45 should engage with a corresponding snap-fit ​​tongue 47 arranged on the adapter profiles 48, 49, 58, 59. The snap-fit ​​tongues 45 and corresponding snap-fit ​​tongues 47 here form coupling sections for releasably coupling the base 31 to the adapter profiles 48, 49, 58, 59.

[0035] Figure 3 The height of the adapter profile 48 shown in the upper part is lower than Figure 3 The lower half shows the adapter profile 49. Therefore, the total height of the sill system 20 can be adjusted according to predetermined values ​​by selecting appropriate adapter profiles 48 and 49.

[0036] from Figure 3 It can be seen that, Figure 3 The upper part shows the adapter profile 48 and Figure 3 The adapter profile 49 shown in the lower half differs in design from the corresponding snap-on tongue 47. Due to the number and arrangement of the snap-on tongues 45 on the adapter profile 32, both variants of the adapter profiles 48 and 49 can still be releasably coupled to the base 31. If an adapter profile with a corresponding snap-on tongue 47 that is incompatible with the snap-on tongue 45 of the adapter profile 32 is to be used, only a suitable adapter profile needs to be provided. There is no need to replace the base 31 or, if necessary, the guide rail 21.

[0037] Figure 4 An alternative design adapter profile 33 is illustrated, through which adapter profiles 58 and 59 are coupled to the base 31. For example... Figure 3 As shown, Figure 4 The adapter profile 58 shown in the upper image area and the adapter profile 59 shown in the lower image area differ in the design of the corresponding snap-fit ​​tongue 47. The corresponding snap-fit ​​tongue 47 also... Figure 3 The corresponding latch tongue 47 differs for the compatible profiles 48 and 49. Furthermore, Figure 4 The height of the adapter profile 58 shown in the upper part is greater than Figure 4 The height of the adapter profile 59 shown in the lower half.

[0038] The releasable coupling between the adapter profiles 48, 49, 58, 59 and the transition profiles 32, 33 that can be separated from the base 31 provides great flexibility in the construction of the sill system 20, especially in the use of different types of adapter profiles 48, 49, 58, 59.

[0039] The transition profiles 32 and 33 are advantageous not only for the sill system 20 used in the sliding door 11, but also for other types of sills in the field of building technology, such as sills used in revolving doors, windows or doors.
