Description

[0001] The invention relates to an adjustment aid for pivoting doors and windows, as well as doors and windows with such an adjustment aid. Technical field

[0002] Hinged doors and windows consist of a frame, which is attached to the masonry, and a sash. To ensure a tight seal, they typically have gaskets between them, which seal the frame against the sash at linear contact points. Often, there is an outer gasket on the exterior side and an inner gasket on the interior side. In some cases, there is also a center gasket in the rebate area.

[0003] The sash usually has a surrounding frame which holds the glazing.

[0004] The frames are often made of wood or PVC. Aluminum frames or shells are frequently attached to these frames. Other frames are covered with adhesive films.

[0005] During the construction of a door or window, the position of the sash relative to the frame can deviate slightly for various reasons. The deviations due to the tolerances of the frame profiles are relatively minor. The pivot hardware and the alignment performed by the window installer have a significantly greater impact.

[0006] When aluminum frames or shells are attached, the gap that needs to be sealed with the gasket is reduced. As a result, in some cases the aluminum frames or shells end above the gasket, or the aluminum parts thin out in the area of ​​the gasket.

[0007] Nevertheless, it cannot be ruled out that these relative deviations subject the seal to different stresses than when the nominal dimensions are maintained or without extension shells or foil. In unfavorable cases, the seal adheres to the other frame part upon contact and, during further closing, is subjected not only to compression as intended, but also to torsion. This leads to the seal being twisted or otherwise incorrectly deformed. The deformation can occur towards the masonry or in another direction. As a result, the seal may become clogged more quickly over time. Furthermore, in unfavorable cases, water can accumulate at the indentations. Ultimately, even a locally varying deformation of the seal will be visually perceptible to an observer. State of the art

[0008] From EP 2957699 B1, a mounting aid for windows is known which is inserted into the rebate area of ​​the frame and locked into the hardware or glazing bead receiving groove. The mounting aid is connected to a marking flag. When properly installed, the sash frame slides past the top of the mounting aid and the marking flag is flush horizontally with the sash frame overlap. Task

[0009] The object of the present invention is to create an aid which ensures a defined gap between the frame and the sash frame. Description of the invention

[0010] The invention solves this problem by means of a system according to the invention as defined in independent claim 1, which includes an adjustment aid according to the invention.

[0011] A system according to the invention comprises at least one sash frame and a frame, wherein the frame has an inner visible surface and the sash frame has an inner sash frame overlap. When installed as intended, the sash frame overlap partially covers the inner visible surface of the frame; this means that only a portion of the sash frame overlap vertically covers the inner visible surface of the frame when installed as intended, while another portion of the sash frame overlap above the overlap in the direction of the glazing and another portion of the inner visible surface of the frame below the overlap in the direction of a wall do not vertically overlap when installed as intended.In the system according to the invention, the sash frame further comprises an outer visible surface and the frame an outer sash frame overlap, wherein, when installed as intended, the frame overlap partially and vertically covers the outer visible surface of the sash frame by means of a counter surface. This means that, when installed as intended, only a portion of the frame overlap vertically covers the outer visible surface of the sash frame by means of a counter surface, while another portion of the frame overlap below the overlap, in the direction of the masonry, does not vertically cover another portion of the outer visible surface of the sash frame above the overlap, in the direction of the glazing. "Above" and "below" here refer to the illustration in the figure, which depicts the lower profiles of a frame.However, the orientation of the side and top profiles towards the glazing inside or towards the surrounding masonry remains unchanged.

[0012] According to the invention, at least one adjustment aid is provided. This adjustment aid has means for fastening itself in a rebate area extending between the frame and the sash frame and a stop lug. In the intended installed state, the stop lug of the adjustment aid projects beyond the inner visible surface of the frame by a defined distance A and abuts the sash frame overlap when the system is closed.

[0013] This creates a defined position between the sash frame and the frame.

[0014] Advantageous configurations result from the characteristics of the dependent claims.

[0015] Advantageously, the means for attaching the adjustment aid are a snap-fit ​​or clamping fastening, which allows for a defined attachment of the adjustment aid to the frame.

[0016] In an advantageous design, the adjustment aid is manufactured in one piece from plastic.

[0017] In another advantageous embodiment, the adjustment aid is multi-part. A uniform base body can thus be combined with stop lugs of varying lengths as needed to accommodate different thicknesses of aluminum shells or frames, or foil coverings. The connection between the base body and the stop lug can advantageously be made via a snap-fit ​​or screw connection. This can be implemented particularly advantageously using plastic.

[0018] Preferably, the defined distance A is selected such that, when the system is closed, the outer visible surface of the sash frame and the opposing surface of the frame at the outer sash frame overlap have a defined horizontal distance B. This distance B is essential for the deformation of the outer stop seal. By selecting a suitable distance A, the distance B can be adjusted. This allows the system to be specifically adapted to certain thicknesses of aluminum cladding panels or frames, or foil coverings. Thus, different adjustment aids with stop lugs of varying lengths can be used.

[0019] The sash frame is usually attached to the frame by at least one hinge. Advantageously, at least one adjustment aid is attached near at least one hinge.

[0020] The tip of the stop nose can optionally be insulated, preferably rubberized, so that when used as intended, it makes no noise or only a quiet, pleasant noise when it comes into contact with the sash frame.

[0021] The adjustment aid preferably has a width of 5 to 30 mm.

[0022] The adjustment aid can be permanently attached to the frame. However, it can also be attached only for a limited period, preferably a few days, and then removed. Typically, after extrusion, stop seals have a shape that changes both elastically and plastically after the first loads. Consequently, these stop seals do not fully return to their original shape after being subjected to a load. As a result, the problem described above generally only occurs in newly installed systems. If a system according to the invention with at least one adjustment aid remains closed for one or more days, the at least one adjustment aid can be removed, as the effect described above no longer occurs. Brief description of the drawing

[0023] The invention is explained in more detail below with reference to exemplary embodiments and the drawing. The figure shows a system, in this case a door or window, comprising a sash frame 11 and a frame 14. The sash frame 11 is based on four sash frame base profiles 7 connected at right angles to each other, which accommodate glazing 4. The glazing 4 is held in the sash frame 11 by glazing beads 5, which are connected to the sash frame base profiles 7 by means of a snap-fit ​​connection. The sash frame 11 has an outer visible surface 21 oriented vertically to the surroundings (left in the figure) and an inner sash frame overlap 12 facing the interior of the building. An aluminum cover 3 is fitted over the sash frame 11, particularly in the area of ​​the outer visible surface 21. The frame 14 consists of four frame base profiles 19 connected at right angles to each other.The frame 14 has an external frame overlap 22 at the upper, inwardly directed end of which – in the section shown in the figure – an external stop seal 6 is arranged. The frame 14 also has an internal visible surface 15 facing the interior of the building.

[0024] The frame 14 and sash 11 are aligned such that they seal the door or window on the side facing the environment via the outer stop seal 6 and on the room side via an inner stop seal 17 at the sash rebate 12. A rebate area 18 is located between the frame 14 and the sash 11. When properly installed, the sash rebate 12 partially covers the inner visible surface 15 of the frame 14; the inner stop seal 17 is located in this area. Next to the inner stop seal 17, a hardware and glazing bead receiving groove 16, open at the top in the section shown in the figure, is arranged in the frame base profile 19. The hardware and glazing bead receiving groove 16 of the frame serves to receive a glazing bead in fixed glazing and, in the case of a casement window or door, to receive hardware.When installed as intended, the frame overlap 22 partially covers the outer visible surface 21 of the sash frame 11 by means of a counter surface 23; the outer stop seal 6 is located in this area.

[0025] At least one adjustment aid 1 is connected to the frame 14 in the rebate area 18 extending between the frame 14 and the sash frame 11. The adjustment aid 1 has a base body 2, which, in the exemplary embodiment, also has feet 9 for placing on the frame base profile 19 and a locking foot 10 for engaging with the hardware and glazing bead receiving groove 16; in the locked or clamped state, the adjustment aid 1 should be firmly connected to the frame base profile 19 with as little play as possible. Furthermore, the adjustment aid 1 has a stop lug 8.

[0026] In its intended installed state, the stop nose 8 of the adjusting aid 1 projects beyond the inner visible surface 15 of the frame 14 towards the interior of the building (on the right in the figure) by a defined distance A and, when the system is closed, abuts the sash frame overlap 12.

[0027] In the exemplary embodiment, the adjusting aid 1 is a single piece and preferably made of plastic. However, it can also be made of several parts. These parts can, in turn, be snapped or screwed together. A uniform base body 2 can be combined with stop lugs 8 of varying lengths as needed to accommodate the different thicknesses of various aluminum shells 3 or frames, or of a foil covering.

[0028] The adjustment aid 1 must be designed with stop lugs 8 such that the stop lug 8 projects beyond the inner visible surface 15 of the frame 14 by a defined distance A. Thus, when the sash frame 11 abuts the stop lug 8 in such a way that a specific horizontal distance B is inevitably established between the outer visible surface 21 of the sash frame 11 and the opposing surface 23 of the frame 14 at the outer sash frame overlap 22, based on the geometry of the sash frame 11 and the frame 14. This distance B is crucial with regard to the deformation of the outer stop seal 6. A specific distance B is required depending on the thickness of the aluminum cover 2 or any foil coating. This distance, in turn, necessitates a corresponding distance A.

[0029] The sash frame 11 is attached to the frame 14 via two hinges (not shown) on a vertically arranged frame base profile 19. Preferably, at least one adjustment aid 1 is attached near at least one hinge on a usually lower, horizontally arranged frame base profile 19.

[0030] The adjustment aid 1 has a width of approximately 20 mm.

[0031] The contact of the stop lug 8 with the sash frame 11 can cause a clanging noise. To prevent this noise permanently, the adjustment aid can be attached only temporarily, preferably for a few days, and then removed. After a few days, the outer stop seal 6 will have deformed to such an extent that it will no longer return to its original shape when the load is removed, and the initially described risk will no longer exist when the load is reapplied. The adjustment aid 1 can then be removed.

[0032] To avoid noise, the tip of the stop nose 8 can be dampened, for example by being rubberized.

[0033] The invention is not limited to the two exemplary embodiments, but includes functioning combinations of features. legend 1 Adjustment aid 2 basic shapes 3 aluminum front panels 4 Glazing 5 Glass retaining strip 6 Outer stop seal 7 wing frame base profile 8 Stop nose 9 feet 10 Resting foot 11 wing frames 12 sash frame overlap 13 sealing grooves 14 bezel frames 15 Interior visible surface of frame 16 Fitting and glazing bead mounting groove 17 inner stop seal 18 Folding area 19 Frame base profile 20 21 Exterior visible surface 22 Frame overlap 23 Opposite surface A Distance between the tip of the stop nose and the inner visible surface of the frame B Distance between counter surface, frame overlap to outer visible surface QUOTES INCLUDED IN THE DESCRIPTION
