Description

[0001] A teaching device for mounting a window or door is described. The invention relates to a mounting arrangement with such a teaching device. The invention further relates to the use of such a teaching device and a method for mounting a window or door with such a device.

[0002] It is known to use a jig during the installation of a window or door. These known jigs serve to define the spacing of a working area relative to a reference point. For example, it is known to use drilling jigs to create holes at defined intervals during the installation of a window or door.

[0003] It is also known to provide a jig for positioning a control element at a defined position relative to the fixed frame. For windows or doors that have a control element on both the top and bottom, both control elements, i.e., top and bottom, can be mounted on the fixed frame using a known jig. Each control element serves as a stop for a guide assembly of a window or door sash. The two control elements must be positioned relative to each other so that both guide assemblies, i.e., top and bottom, abut the control elements simultaneously to ensure uniform closing of the sash. The bottom control element is mounted at a predetermined distance from a vertical mullion of the fixed frame. The top control element, on the other hand, is mounted at a predetermined distance from the farthest vertical side of the sash.Depending on the wing width, the upper control element must therefore be individually attached to allow simultaneous engagement of the two guide arrangements.

[0004] EP 2 397 631 A2 discloses a sliding door system with an assembly aid which can be arranged between a trolley and a guide rail, wherein the assembly aid fixes the trolley in its intended position when the sliding sash is removed.

[0005] From US Patent 5,640,813 A, a spacer disk system is known that comprises a first spacer disk with opposing, substantially planar first and second surfaces, and a second spacer disk with opposing, substantially planar third and fourth surfaces. The two spacer disks can be arranged relative to each other such that the second surface of the first spacer disk abuts the third surface of the second spacer disk, and the common thickness of the two spacer disks corresponds to the distance between the first surface of the first spacer disk and the fourth surface of the second spacer disk.

[0006] US 7,716,880 B1 teaches the manufacture and use of plastic wedges.

[0007] From EP 1 959 080 A2 a fitting for a sliding sash is known, wherein the sliding sash has drive rods that can be stored in the sash rebate space and moved by a handle element, as well as lower carriages that can be moved on a running rail that can be attached to a frame and upper sliding elements that can be moved in a sliding rail that can be attached to the frame.

[0008] In contrast, the object of the present invention is to create a way to mount a window or door with a sliding sash in such a way that the sash can be easily mounted and precisely closed, regardless of its sash width.

[0009] This problem is solved by an assembly arrangement according to claim 1, the use of a teaching of the assembly arrangement according to claim 6, and a method according to claim 7. The dependent claims describe preferred embodiments.

[0010] The problem according to the invention is thus partially solved by a teaching for mounting a window or a door. The window or door has a fixed frame, a sash that is displaceable relative to the fixed frame by means of a first guide arrangement and a second guide arrangement, a first control element fixedly arranged on the fixed frame for stopping the first guide arrangement, and a second control element that can be fixedly arranged on the fixed frame for stopping the second guide arrangement. The teaching according to the invention is designed to hold the first guide arrangement immovably on the first control element, so that the second control element can be precisely mounted on the fixed frame with respect to the second guide arrangement arranged on the sash.

[0011] According to the invention, it is therefore not provided to position and mount both control elements relative to the fixed frame, but rather to first mount the first control element on the fixed frame, hold the sash against the first control element using the jig, and then, with the sash in a fixed position, arrange the second control element on the fixed frame. This ensures that the sash strikes both the first and second control elements simultaneously during its closing movement.

[0012] Preferably, the teaching can be attached to the first control element by an insertion-sliding movement and removed from the first control element by an extraction-sliding movement. The insertion-sliding movement and the extraction-sliding movement preferably proceed perpendicularly ±10°, and in particular perpendicularly ±5°, to the longitudinal axis of the first guide arrangement.

[0013] The jig features an insertion projection that can be inserted into a recess of the first guide assembly. The recess of the first guide assembly is preferably formed by a guide cam of the first guide assembly. This allows the first guide assembly to be securely locked to the first control element by the jig.

[0014] The gauge is formed in sections in the form of a first U-shape, so that the first control element can be grasped in a U-shape, at least in sections. In the temporarily arranged state of the gauge, the U-shape preferably points downwards.

[0015] The U-shape has two legs that are indirectly connected to each other. According to the invention, a particularly compact design of the teaching is achieved by forming one leg of the first U-shape with the insertion projection.

[0016] The jig is designed section by section in the form of a second U-shape, so that the first guide arrangement can be gripped section by section in a U-shape. In the assembled state of the jig, the second U-shape preferably points downwards.

[0017] One leg of the second U-shape is formed by the insertion projection.

[0018] The problem according to the invention is solved by an assembly arrangement comprising a previously described teaching and a window or door, wherein the window or door has a fixed frame, a sash displaceable relative to the fixed frame by means of a first guide arrangement and a second guide arrangement, a first control element fixedly arranged on the fixed frame for stopping the first guide arrangement, and a second control element fixedly arranged on the fixed frame for stopping the second guide arrangement. The teaching holds the first guide arrangement rigidly on the first control element in order to be able to mount the second control element precisely on the fixed frame with respect to the second guide arrangement.

[0019] The first guide arrangement preferably has a guide projection on which a guide cam is formed. The guide projection is preferably at least partially insertable into the first control element. More preferably, the guide projection is configured to completely penetrate the first control element.

[0020] The first guide arrangement can be in the form of a track that transfers the load of the sash to the underside. The track can include at least one carriage, which is guided, in particular, on a track of the window or door. The second guide arrangement, in contrast, is preferably arranged on the top side of the sash and is particularly designed as a slider arrangement.

[0021] The first control element preferably serves to engage a first scissor stay of the first guide assembly, and the second control element preferably serves to engage a second scissor stay of the second guide assembly. Engaging the first or second scissor stay initiates the closing of the respective scissor stays. When the scissor stays engage with the control elements, the locking mechanism of the scissor stays is released, and the sash can be closed from the closed position.

[0022] The problem according to the invention is further solved by using the previously described teaching of an assembly arrangement for mounting a window or a door.

[0023] The problem according to the invention is further solved by a method for mounting a window or a door, wherein the window or door has a fixed frame and a sash that can be moved relative to the fixed frame by means of a first guide arrangement and a second guide arrangement, comprising the following method steps: A) Mounting a first control element as a stop for the first guide arrangement on the fixed frame; B) Moving, in particular shifting, the open wing into a position immediately before the latch is released, the latch serving to hold the wing in the closed position; C) Arranging a jig to lock the wing in this position according to procedure step B) relative to the first control element; D) Mounting a second control element as a stop for the second guide arrangement on the fixed frame using the locked wing position.

[0024] The procedure is preferably carried out using a previously described assembly arrangement.

[0025] The positioning of the guide in process step C) is carried out by an insertion-sliding movement, by which the guide is partially inserted into the first guide device and / or by which the guide at least partially overlaps the first control element.

[0026] Further features and advantages of the invention will become apparent from the following detailed description of an exemplary embodiment of the invention, from the claims, and from the figures in the drawing, which show essential details of the invention. The various features can be implemented individually or in any combination in variants of the invention. The features shown in the drawing are presented in such a way that the inventive features are clearly visible.

[0027] They show: Fig. 1 a schematic view of an assembly arrangement; Fig. 2 an isometric view of part of the assembly arrangement according to Fig. 1 in the area of ​​a first control element before placing a gauge on the first control element; Fig. 3 an isometric view of the assembly arrangement according to Fig. 1 in the upper area of ​​a fixed frame; Fig. 4 another isometric view of the assembly arrangement according to Fig. 3; Fig. 5 an isometric view of the assembly arrangement according to Fig. 2 after the doctrine has been established; and Fig. 6 a cutaway side view of the assembly arrangement according to Fig. 5;

[0028] Fig. Figure 1 shows an assembly arrangement 10 with a door 12. The door 12 is designed in the form of a sliding door. The door 12 has a fixed frame 14 and a leaf 16 that is movable relative to the fixed frame 14. The leaf 16 is, in particular parallel to the fixed frame 14, displaced from its position in Fig. 1 can be switched off in the closed position shown and, in particular parallel to the fixed frame 14, can be moved in the direction of an arrow 18.

[0029] The sash 16 has fittings (not shown) that allow a user to lift the sash 16 from the closed position away from the fixed frame 14 and move it into an open position. The sash 16 has a handle 20 for operating these fittings. When the handle 20 is in a first position 22a, the sash 16 is securely locked to the fixed frame 14. When the handle 20 is in a second position 22b, the sash 16 can be lifted away from the fixed frame 14 and slid open and closed parallel to the fixed frame 14. When the handle 20 is in a third position 22c, the sash 16 can be tilted, i.e., the bottom of the sash 16 remains against the fixed frame 14 and the top is lifted away from the fixed frame 14. Position 22c could also result in a different opening, for example a slit opening in the wing, or it could be omitted altogether.

[0030] The sash 16 is guided on the fixed frame 14 by a first guide arrangement 24 on its underside and by a second guide arrangement 26 on its upper side. The first guide arrangement 24 is designed as a running gear with a first carriage 28. The first guide arrangement 24 may have one or more additional carriages, for example, a second carriage 30. The carriages 28 and 30 are connected by a connecting rod 32 and guided on a track 34. The second guide arrangement 26, in contrast, is designed as a slider arrangement. When the sash 16 is closed, i.e., when the sash 16 moves in the opposite direction to arrow 18, the first guide arrangement 24 and the second guide arrangement 26 each engage a control element, allowing the sash 16 to pivot and lock into place.

[0031] Fig. Figure 2 shows part of the assembly arrangement 10 with a first control element 36, which is immovably mounted on the fixed frame 14 by means of screws 38a, 38b. The first control element 36 serves as a stop for the first guide arrangement 24. The first guide arrangement 24 comprises the first carriage 28, a first extension scissor 40 with a first extension arm 42 and a first control arm 44. Fig. Figure 2 shows the first extension arm 42 in the retracted position shortly before it is swung in to extend the wing 16 (see Fig. 1) to close. The first control arm 44 is in a detent position of the first guide assembly 24. To achieve a pivoting of the first extension arm 42, the first guide assembly 24 is moved together with the wing 16 (see Fig. 1) opposite the direction of arrow 18 (see Fig. 1) moves so that the first control arm 44 abuts a first stop point 46 of the first control element 36 and is thereby moved from its detent position. A first guide pin 48 can then move in a guide track 50 to pivot the first extension arm 42. The guide track 50 is formed in a guide projection 52 of the first guide arrangement 24. In this case, the guide projection 52 extends through the first control element 36 in the direction of the longitudinal axis of the first guide arrangement 24.

[0032] Fig. Figure 3 shows the mounting arrangement 10 in the upper area of ​​the wing 16 (see Fig. 1) The fixed frame 14 points into this area (see Fig. 1) a guide rail 54 arranged immovably on the fixed frame 14, on which a second control element 56 is arranged.

[0033] Fig. Figure 4 shows an enlarged partial view of this area of ​​the assembly arrangement 10. From Fig. 4 shows that the second control element 56 has a second stop point 58, on which a second guide bolt 60 engages when the wing 16 is closed (see Fig. 1) strikes. The striking of the second guide arrangement 26 at the second stop point 58 initiates a closing movement in which a second extension arm 62 is pivoted. The movement of the second extension arm 62 is guided by a second control arm 64. In the Fig. In the second extension arm 62 shown in the detached position, a control arm bolt 66 is in a detent position in a control arm guide track 68. At least the second extension arm 62 and the second control arm 64, the second guide bolt 60, in particular also the control arm bolt 66 and / or the control arm guide track 68, are part of a second extension scissor 70.

[0034] To ensure a uniform pivoting of the wing 16 (see Fig. 1) when closing door 12 (see Fig. 1) to achieve this, the first control arm 44 (see Fig. 2) at the first anchor point 46 (see Fig. 2) and the second guide pin 60 strikes the second stop point 58. The first control element 36 (see Fig. 2) and the second control element 56 must therefore be positioned accordingly relative to the fixed frame 14 (see Fig. 1) be positioned and mounted. For this purpose, a jig 72 is required (see Fig. 2) provided for, which the first management order 24 (see Fig. 2) in relation to the closing movement of the wing 14 (see Fig. 1) just set position at the first control element 36 (see Fig. 2) locked in order to conveniently attach the second control element 56 to the guide rail 54 in the position in which the second extension scissor 70 was just set down.

[0035] Fig. Figure 5 shows the assembly arrangement 10 with the inserted gauge 72. The gauge 72 can be mounted by an insertion-sliding movement 74 and removed by an extraction-sliding movement 76. An insertion projection 78 is formed (see also Fig. 2) introduced into a recess 80, which in this case is formed in the form of the guide track 50.

[0036] Fig. Figure 6 shows a cross-section through the assembly arrangement 10 according to Fig. 5. From Fig. Figure 6 shows that the gauge 72 has a first U-shape 82 (indicated by a dashed line). One leg of the first U-shape 82 is formed by the insertion projection 78. Furthermore, the gauge 72 has a second U-shape 84, which also has a leg formed by the first insertion projection 78. The first U-shape 82 engages the first control element 36 with an interference fit (see Figure 6). Fig. 2) The second U-shape 84 engages with an interference fit a foremost wall 86 of the guide projection 52 (see also Fig. 2) The two U-shapes 82, 84 prevent movement of the first guide arrangement 24 in its longitudinal direction, i.e. along the running rail 34 (see Fig. 1) or parallel to the running rail 34.

[0037] Furthermore, a blocking projection 88 prevents movement of the first control arm 44 (see Fig. 2) In this case, the locking projection 88 is formed by a leg of the first U-shape 82. The locking projection 88 makes the first guide arrangement 24 particularly securely immobile relative to the first control element 36 (see Figure 2). Fig. 2) held. The second control 56 (see Fig. 4) is therefore particularly precise on the guide rail 54 (see Fig. 4) attachable.

[0038] Considering all the figures in the drawing together, the invention, limited to the scope of the claims, relates in particular to a teaching 72 for locking a first stay arm 40, which is part of a first guide arrangement 24, on a first control element 36 in the retracted position of the first stay arm 40 immediately before it pivots during a closing movement of a sash 16 of a window or door 12. The teaching 72 can be inserted section by section into the first guide arrangement 24. Preferably, the teaching 72 clamps the first guide arrangement 24 relative to the first control element 36. The invention further relates to a method for mounting a window or door 12 in which the first guide arrangement 24 is held locked on the first control element 36 by the teaching 72.
