Abstract
Description
The invention relates to a holding system for holding an object according to the preamble of claim 1. DE 10 2009 052 532 A1 discloses a holding system for holding an object, comprising at least one holding element, wherein the holding element comprises a fastening element and a connecting element, and wherein the fastening element is connected to a fixed profile of a window or door. DE 20 2015 102 179 U1 describes the fastening of a roller shutter box to a house wall. DE 20 2013 100 325 U1 describes a window handle, DE 10 2007 003 518 B4 a screw for fastening a frame to a building wall, and DE 10 2007 013 437 A1 the fastening of a flower box. The object of the invention is to propose a holding system for an object, the method of attachment of which is not visible from the outside and which is removable without leaving any visible traces in the visible exterior or interior area of the window or door, or on a building facade. Furthermore, the object of the invention is to enable a particularly robust holding, especially securing the object against falling. This problem is solved by means of the characterizing features of claim 1, starting from the features of the preamble of claim 1. Advantageous and expedient embodiments are specified in the dependent claims. The invention relates to a holding system for securing an object, wherein the connecting element is guided through a passage between the stationary profile and a rotatable or sliding locking element of the window or door into an exterior area located in front of the window or door. This allows the connecting element to be attached to its associated fastener in a way that conceals the type of fastening from the outside, thus meeting high aesthetic standards and also hindering theft attempts, as time must be spent discovering the type of fastening. Furthermore, the holding system can be dismantled without leaving any visible traces due to the concealed arrangement of the fastener from both the inside and outside, and can therefore also be used in rental properties without incurring high subsequent costs for cosmetic repairs. It is also intended that the fastener is in a positive-locking and / or force-locking connection with a building wall adjacent to the fixed profile. This makes the holding system particularly robust, as it provides a direct connection to the building and does not rely on a potentially undefined anchoring of the fixed profile. Furthermore, this also improves the connection of the fixed profile of the window or door to the building. Furthermore, the connecting element is designed with a central section in which the connecting element has a thickness of at most 2 mm over a length of at least 0.5 cm and, in particular, at least 2 cm. When the mounting system is installed, the central section lies within the passage area of the window or door. The connecting element in its central section has a width, measured along the longitudinal extent of the fixed profile, of at least 5 mm and at most 70 mm. This ensures that the connecting element passes through the passage area without impairing the closing behavior of the rotating or sliding locking element and / or the seal between the fixed profile and the rotating or sliding locking element. According to the invention, the object is reliably and securely held by connecting it to the connecting means. Furthermore, it is provided that the fastening element is arranged at a first end section of the connector and that the object is arranged at a second end section of the connector. This makes it possible to design the connector to be slim and elongated, so that its shape is optimally suited to being guided through the passage area. According to the invention, the connecting element between a first end section and the central section is bent by 90°, and the connecting element between a second end section and the central section is particularly bent by 90°, wherein a first bending edge and a second bending edge formed thereby run parallel. Such a connecting element can be manufactured simply and therefore cost-effectively from a strip-shaped semi-finished product. Furthermore, it is stipulated that the fastener for creating a threaded connection and / or a positive-locking connection comprises either a screw, a screw and a dowel, or a pin and a dowel. The exclusive use of a screw is advantageous when the fastener is connected only to the fixed profile. The use of a screw and dowel or a pin and dowel is particularly advantageous when the fastener extends through the fixed profile and into the building wall. A pin and dowel fastener can be quickly installed and removed by pushing or pulling the pin in or out, respectively. Furthermore, it is intended that the fixed profile is designed as a frame or as a roller shutter track. Such profiles are positioned adjacent to the building wall, thus enabling reliable attachment of the fastener. It is also provided that the passage area is formed by a rebate between a frame and a sash, or by a gap between a roller shutter track and a roller shutter curtain. Such passage areas allow the insertion of fasteners without affecting the function of the window or door. Finally, it is provided that the holding system comprises at least two holding means and in particular at least four holding means, wherein it is either in particular provided that the holding means are arranged in particular opposite directions on mullions of a frame and in particular on vertically extending mullions of a frame of the window or door or in particular arranged in particular opposite directions on roller shutter tracks of the window or door or wherein it is in particular provided that the holding means are arranged on at least one mullion of a frame and in particular on at least one vertically extending mullion of a frame of the window or door as well as on at least one roller shutter track of the window or door.wherein the object is connected to all fastening means and is designed in particular as a railing or fall protection or flower box or window garden or fly screen or burglar protection or sun protection or weather protection or flag holder or adapter. By using at least two or at least four fastening means to hold an object, it is possible, especially when the fastening means is in a positive-locking and / or force-locking connection with a building wall adjacent to the fixed profile, to attach objects absolutely reliably in front of the window or door without obstructing the visible exterior or interior of the window or door with visible fastening means. Moreover, the retaining means are arranged in particular opposite each other at the bottom and top of parts of a frame and especially on horizontally running mullions of a window or door frame. For the purposes of the invention, a window or door optionally also includes roller shutter tracks and a roller shutter curtain. In accordance with the invention, the connecting element can be permanently connected to the fastening element, e.g. by welding. Furthermore, according to the invention, the connecting element can also be multi-part, in particular composed of several profile elements. This allows for adjustment of the leg length of the connecting element. Further details of the invention are described in the drawing with reference to schematically illustrated embodiments. Figure 1 shows a schematic view of a first embodiment of a holding system installed in the area of a window frame; Figure 2 shows a schematic view of a second embodiment of a holding system installed in the area of a window frame; Figure 3 shows a schematic view of a third embodiment of a holding system installed in the area of a roller shutter track of a window; and Figure 4 shows a schematic view of a fourth embodiment of a holding system installed in the area of a roller shutter track of a window. Fig. 1 shows a section view of a window 1, to which a first embodiment of a holding system 2 for holding an object 3 is attached. The holding system 2 comprises at least one holding element 4, wherein the holding element 4 comprises a fastening element 5 and a connecting element 6. The fastening element 5 and the connecting element 6 are detachably connected to one another, the fastening element 5 comprising a screw 8a and being connected to a fixed profile 9, namely a frame 10a of the window 1, via a threaded connection 7. The section through the window 1, which is installed in a building wall 11, is such that it is drawn horizontally through a vertically extending mullion 12a of the frame 10a. For the sake of clarity, the cut surfaces are not hatched.The section also shows the aforementioned building wall 11 and a locking element 13, which forms a rotating sash 14a of the window 1. The fastener 5 is guided through a passage area 15, which exists between the frame 10a and the sash 14a as a rebate area 15a. The fastener 6 has a thickness D6b of no more than 2 mm in a central section 6b, through which it passes through the passage area 15, so that the fastener 6 can traverse the passage area 15 of the window 1 without impairing the closing function of the window 1. A first end section 6a and a second end section 6c adjoin the central section 6b at its ends.In the first end section 6a of the fastener 6, a through-hole 16 is provided through which the screw 8a is guided, so that, when screwed in, its head 17 presses the fastener 6 against the stationary profile 9. Between the first end section 6a and the middle section 6b, the fastener is bent by 90°, so that it has a first bend 18a. Between the middle section 6b and the second end section 6c, the fastener is also bent by 90°, so that it has a second bend 18b. The two bends 18a and 18b run parallel to each other.The connecting element 6 is supported by a contact surface 19 of its central section 6b against an inner surface 20a of a rebate 21a of the frame 10a, and is thereby prevented from rotating about a longitudinal axis L4 of the retaining element 4 even when loaded by the object 3, so that it maintains its orientation even under load without an additional support element. The screw 8a is screwed into a bore 22. According to an embodiment not shown, it is also provided that the screw is screwed directly into the frame. Measured into the plane of the drawing, the connecting element 6 has a width between 5 mm and 70 mm, which is determined in particular by the load exerted by the object 3 and / or the shape of the object. The object 3 is arranged in an exterior area 23 located in front of the window 1. From the exterior area 23, the retaining element 4 or...The bore 22 for the retaining element 4 is not visible when the wing 14a is closed. Therefore, the retaining system 2 can be disassembled without leaving any traces on the building facade 24 indicating that a retaining system 2 was previously installed there. The second embodiment of a holding system 202 shown in Fig. 2 differs from the first embodiment shown in Fig. 1 in that the fastening element 205 comprises a screw 208a and a dowel 208b, and that a bore 222 for the fastening element 205 extends into the building wall 11, and that the screw 108a and the dowel 208b also extend into the building wall 11 when installed. For further details, please refer to the description of Fig. 1. Fig. 2 is also provided with the reference numerals used therein. Because the fastening element 205 extends into the building wall 11, a particularly reliable connection of the connecting element 6, and thus also of the object 3, is ensured.

The section through the window 301 installed in a building wall 311 is such that it is guided horizontally through a vertically extending mullion 312a of a frame 310a and the roller shutter track 310b. To maintain clarity in the presentation, hatching of the cut areas was omitted.The section also shows the aforementioned building wall 311 and closure elements 313, which are formed by a rotating sash 314a and a roller shutter curtain 314b of the window 301. The fastening element 305 is guided through a passage area 315, which exists as a gap area 315a between the roller shutter track 310b and the roller shutter curtain 314b. The connecting element 306 has a thickness D306b of no more than 2 mm in a central section 306b, through which it passes through the passage area 315, so that the connecting element 306 can pass through the passage area 315 of the window 301 without impairing the closing function of the roller shutter curtain 314b. A first end section 306a and a second end section 306c adjoin the central section 306b at its ends. In the first end section 306a of the fastener 306, a through-hole 316 is provided through which the screw 308a is guided, so that, when screwed in, its head 317 presses the fastener 306 against the stationary profile 309. Between the first end section 306a and the middle section 306b, the fastener 306 is bent by 90°, so that it has a first bend edge 318a. Between the middle section 306b and the second end section 306c, the fastener 306 is also bent by 90°, so that it has a second bend edge 318b. The two bend edges 318a and 318b run parallel to each other.The connecting element 306 is supported by a contact surface 319 of its central section 306b against an inner surface 320b of a groove 321b of the roller shutter track 310b, and is thereby prevented from rotating about a longitudinal axis L304 of the retaining element 304 even when loaded by the object 303, so that it maintains its orientation even under load without an additional support element. The screw 308a is screwed into a bore 322. According to an embodiment not shown, it is also provided that the screw is screwed directly into the roller shutter track 310b. Measured into the plane of the drawing, the connecting element 306 has a width between 5 mm and 70 mm, which is determined in particular by the load exerted by the object 303 and / or the shape of the object 303. The object 303 is arranged in an exterior area 323 located in front of the window 301. From the outside area 323, the holding device 304 orThe bore 322 for the retaining device 304 is not visible. Therefore, the retaining system 302 can be dismantled without leaving any traces on the building facade 324 indicating that a retaining system 302 was previously installed there. The fourth embodiment of a holding system 402 shown in Fig. 4 differs from the third embodiment shown in Fig. 3 in that the fastening element 405 comprises a screw 408a and a dowel 408b, and that a bore 422 for the fastening element 405 extends into the building wall 311, and that the screw 408a and the dowel 408b also extend into the building wall 311 when installed. For further details, please refer to Fig. 3 and its description. Because the fastening element 405 extends into the building wall 311, a particularly reliable connection of the connecting element 306, and thus also of the object 303, is ensured. In all depicted versions, the object is designed as a battery-operated motion detector with a spotlight. In principle, any object suitable for placement in an outdoor area in front of or next to a window or door is suitable. In all depicted embodiments, the fastening element and the connecting element are detachably connected. This has the advantage that, depending on the application, different connecting elements can be combined with different fastening elements. According to another embodiment, not shown, the connecting element and a component of the fastening device are also designed as a single piece. In this case, the connecting element and a pin are specifically designed as a single piece. Accordingly, another component of the fastening device is designed as a dowel or sleeve, which is received in a bore, so that the connecting element, with the pin permanently attached to it, can be pressed into the dowel or sleeve with a straight movement. Figures 1, 2, 3 to 4 are to be understood as schematic drawings, in which, for the sake of clarity, the depiction of seals, insulation and insulating materials, which are usually installed on modern windows and doors, has been omitted. If two or four retaining devices are used, it is intended, for example, to attach them in a mirror image to two opposing, vertically aligned mullions of the window frame. If two or four retaining devices are used, it is also possible, for example, to attach them in a mirror image to two opposing roller shutter rails of the window. For example, if four retaining devices are used, it is also possible to attach one pair of retaining devices in a mirror image to two opposing, vertically oriented mullions of the window frame and another pair of retaining devices in a mirror image to two opposing roller shutter tracks of the window. This allows, for example, the use of identical retaining devices to achieve a tilted position of the object, which may be designed as a sunshade. Mounting of the retaining devices at the top and bottom is also provided for. Alternatively, mounting on a door is also possible.
