Description

[0001] The invention relates to a sealing device for a displaceable sash profile as a sliding sash or a displaceable lift-sliding sash of a window or a door, with a sealing strip which is arranged in a joint area of ​​a so-called closing side on a vertical frame member of a frame profile and seals and secures a gap between a vertical sash member of a closed sash profile of the window or a door according to the preamble of claim 1.

[0002] Sliding sash profiles as sliding sashes or sliding lift-sliding sashes of a window or door are known in a wide variety of designs and in the simplest case consist of a sash profile that is arranged so that it can be moved in an outer frame profile for opening and closing and of another door or window element, for example a passive sash or fixed field, that is also arranged in the frame profile.

[0003] The closed sash profile can be locked on the side facing away from the door or window element by activating an operating mechanism on the frame profile, thus securing it against unauthorized opening. Sliding sashes are usually mounted so they can slide above or below the frame profile. When opened, usually with an operating handle on the sash profile of lift-and-slide sashes, the sash profile is lifted along with the seals, making it easier to move. The opened sash profile can then be slid in front of an adjacent fixed part. Depending on the design, sliding sashes or lift-and-slide sashes can either only be slid or can also be tilted. When closed, the sliding sash is lowered, pressing the seals back on. Opening and closing can also be achieved using electric, hydraulic, or pneumatic actuators.

[0004] However, a weak point against unauthorized opening is the joint area of ​​the locking side, where the closed sash profile, whether a sliding sash or lift-and-slide sash, connects to the frame profile of the window or door. Using a suitable tool, an attempt can be made to force the closed sash profile apart from the frame profile in this joint area, thus forcing open the door or window.

[0005] In order to prevent this and also to close a vertical gap on the locking side between the sash profile and the frame profile, safety devices for the joint area are already known. They take the form of a sealing device attached to the vertical frame stile of the frame profile. In the case of windows or doors, this is made of a wooden material, also made of wood. Occasionally, a sealing device made of plastic is used for a wooden window or a wooden door. For this purpose, the sealing device has a first profile section in cross-section, which can be joined in a form-fitting manner to a second profile section in cross-section on a vertical sash stile of the sash profile. This allows the gap to be closed on the locking side when the window or door is closed.By simultaneously overlapping and engaging the sash profile with the sealing device attached to the frame profile, any attempt to force the closed sash profile apart from the frame profile for forced opening is counteracted. Furthermore, to protect against forced opening attempts, the window or door requires locking elements arranged on the frame profile, which interact with locking elements movably arranged on an actuating mechanism in a locked closed position. For this purpose, the locking elements arranged on the frame profile side are positioned and attached to the sealing device and the frame stile.

[0006] In addition to the complex installation of the locking elements to the sealing device and thus to the vertical frame stile of the frame profile, which requires a new positional adjustment of the locking elements for each subsequent window or door stop, fastening them to the predefined position also proves to be very challenging. Windows or doors made of wood in particular require time-consuming machining when installing the locking elements on the side of the vertical frame stile, which increases the cost of the element. Furthermore, for the sake of simplicity, locking elements with locking elements, for example, with a bolt or mushroom head, are preferably used for installation on the frame stile and the sealing device arranged on the frame stile, since the locking elements can be screwed in through a pre-prepared hole.An arrangement on the vertical frame profile with locking engagements that have a recess or cutout for the insertion and / or engagement of a locking element is not used for windows or doors made of wood due to the complex processing and assembly involved.

[0007] This problem is well known, and corresponding sealing devices are available on the market that also allow the attachment of locking elements with a locking element or a locking engagement to a sealing device arranged on the vertical frame member for a sliding sash or a sliding lift-and-slide sash of a window or door. However, these are still complex to install, require multiple design variants due to the different dimensions of windows or doors, generate more waste when cutting the sealing device, and adversely affect the appearance of the passageway between the frame profile and the sash profile opened by sliding.

[0008] DE 102016119515 A1 discloses a sliding door unit with a frame and a sliding door that can be moved within the frame, in which at least one fitting is installed. A plurality of locking bolts are provided along the height of a frame profile of the frame, which can be brought into engagement with an associated locking element on the sash profile of the sliding sash. Alternatively, a plurality of locking bolts can also be provided along the height of a frame profile of the sliding door, each of which can be brought into engagement with a lock housing on the frame. In one embodiment, a blocking element is provided that blocks actuation of a sliding door lock when the locking bolt is in a retracted position. The sliding door is locked when the locking bolt is in the extended position and can lock with the locking element.The locking element can be engaged with the locking bolt or a component connected to the locking bolt to lock an actuating element for locking the sliding door when the locking bolt is in the retracted position. The actuating element for locking the sliding door is then fully movable only when the locking bolt is in the extended position.

[0009] The locking elements attached to the frame profile are mounted with conventional fastening screws. Furthermore, the locking elements are placed in elaborately milled recesses on the vertical frame member of the frame profile or are screwed onto the frame member. The milled version offers an advantageous appearance, but the effort involved comes at the expense of very high manufacturing costs. No other version with a good appearance, minimal assembly effort, and cost-effective production is known.

[0010] Also known from EP 1571282 B1 is a profile system for a sliding door or a sliding window, comprising a profiled element which is connected to a first receptacle arranged on the bottom of a frame profile, projects into it in one direction, and is substantially parallel to a first and a second receiving tab and extends vertically over almost the entire length of the vertical frame member, further comprising a locking block which projects parallel to the first and second tab in the direction of the inner opening of the door or window.

[0011] The known arrangement has the disadvantage that, with the profile arrangement shown in the application for lift and / or sliding windows or doors, additional profiles must be provided to seal and lock the window or door. Due to the large number of profiles, this affects the manufacturing and storage costs, thereby increasing the overall cost of the window or door. Furthermore, the known profile arrangement results in increased assembly work, with the fastening elements for the profile arrangement and / or for the locking elements being visible on the visible side facing the frame member between the frame profile and the sash profile, which also has a detrimental effect on the appearance. In addition, the type and position of the locking elements must be repeatedly readjusted to the profile arrangement due to the profile cross-section.

[0012] None of the known profile assemblies features a sealing device that can be installed independently of the window or door manufacturing process and unaffected by possible manufacturing tolerances, nor can the sealing device and locking elements be mounted on the frame member of the frame profile at the same time and separately from each other. Furthermore, none of the known profile assemblies features a sealing device that completely covers the fastening means for the sealing device, fills the joint area and the gap or space between the vertical frame member of the frame profile and the sliding sash profile, and achieves a good appearance and increased security against unauthorized intervention when the sash profile is locked to the frame profile, with a sealing function, particularly in driving rain.

[0013] The invention is based on the object of providing a functionally reliable and compact sealing device for a sliding sash profile as a sliding sash or a sliding lift-sliding sash of a window or door, which eliminates the above disadvantages and is cost-effective with a good appearance for the window or door and improves the locking function and adjustment of the locking elements of the sliding or lift-sliding fitting in a simple, fast, safe and precise manner with little installation space and at the same time contributes to the sealing function.

[0014] According to the invention, the object is achieved by the sealing device for a sliding sash profile as a sliding sash or a sliding lift-and-slide sash of a window or door according to claim 1. Advantageous embodiments of the invention emerge from the features of the subclaims.

[0015] What is essential here is that the sealing device for a sliding sash profile, either as a sliding sash or a sliding lift-and-slide sash of a window or door, consists of a sealing strip and a filler piece, which are arranged in a joint area of ​​a so-called locking side on a vertical frame member of a frame profile and seal and secure a gap between a vertical sash member of a closed sash profile of the window or door. For this purpose, the sealing strip preferably accommodates locking elements at a specific distance from one another. These locking elements, operatively connected to locking elements attached to the sash profile and movable with an actuating mechanism, achieve locking when the window or door is in the closed position.A particular advantage is that, despite the different shapes due to different design variants of a guide rail on the lower horizontal frame member of the frame profile, the sealing strip can be shortened to suit the height of the window or door with a straight cut at the respective free ends. For this purpose, the filler piece according to the invention is arranged at at least one end of the vertical frame member between the sealing strip and the transition to the horizontal frame member, in particular the lower horizontal frame member with a threshold, the so-called joint area.To accommodate a wide variety of design variants with different track contours and to ensure simple and cost-effective production of the sealing device, the filler consists of two components: a base plate provides positioning and fastening of the filler, and a cover profile covers the design variants in terms of color and shape for the window or door. Furthermore, the filler according to the invention, thanks to its two-part design, enables a force-locking connection to the base plate using fastening elements, preferably fastening screws. The cover profile conceals the base plate and the fastening elements for a good appearance.By connecting the filler piece to the vertical frame member using fastening elements, the sealing device with the sealing strip and the filler piece achieves a functionally secured effect against unauthorized access and a positive sealing result against climatic influences in the area of ​​a lockable closing position of the sash profile to the frame profile of the sliding lift-sliding sash of the window or door.

[0016] Preferably, prefabricated and pre-positioned holes are provided on the base plate of the filler piece for the guiding installation of the fastening screws. To protect against possible unauthorized access from the outside of the window or door, the fastening screws are advantageously concealed and inaccessible by the cover profile. Sectoral holes are arranged along the entire length of the sealing device, allowing the positioning of the fastening screws and the screw-type attachment of the sealing strip and filler piece without the need for additional assembly aids.

[0017] Furthermore, when the sliding sash is closed, the sealing strip, consisting of the sealing device, and the filler piece according to the invention form an operatively connected system on the locked locking side of the window or door by engaging over or behind the oppositely arranged vertical sash member of the sash profile and the seals attached to it. In the area where the respective free ends of the sealing strip and the filler piece according to the invention meet at the vertically arranged frame member, the components advantageously connect almost seamlessly to form a structural unit and seamlessly secure the open joint area. The continuous transition of the sealing device from the upper horizontal frame member to the lower horizontal frame member or the floor sill also primarily prevents the penetration of air and moisture through the frame system of the window or door.This also makes the sealing device more important in thermal insulation, as energy leakage is also a critical factor. A high level of tightness against possible water penetration due to wind loads and driving rain is additionally achieved by the compressed contact of the sealing strip and the filler piece when the sliding sash is closed.

[0018] An undesirable leakage when the sliding sash is closed at the point of the joint area, especially in the transition area from the horizontal area to the vertical area, is finally avoided by the positive closure of the connected sealing device, in particular by the filler piece.

[0019] A simple and easily positioned connection between the base plate and the cover profile is achieved through a positive connection. For this purpose, the base plate has an undercut in cross-section into which the cover profile extends with a web. The undercut and the web are congruent to one another, whereby the cross-sectional shape of the undercut and the web can be designed differently while achieving the same effect. A first preferred embodiment in cross-section is a web-like projection on the base plate, which is encompassed by a groove on the cover profile or engaged behind by a projection. Also conceivable is an embodiment with a dovetail shape in cross-section, wherein the shape tapers towards the cover profile.A circular design is also possible, which tapers down to the cover profile over the outer diameter, creating an undercut for a positive connection. In all possible versions, the cover profile assumes a position secured against further displacement relative to the base plate, forming an integral structural unit.

[0020] When the filler piece and sealing strip are mounted on the vertical frame member of the frame profile, a gap that opens up within the joint area of ​​a so-called closing side of the vertical sash member of the sash profile and the vertical frame member of a frame profile is closed. The sealing device, consisting of the sealing strip and the filler piece according to the invention, seals against the upper and lower horizontal frame members, with all fastening elements of the sealing device for connection to the frame profile being concealed.

[0021] In a preferred appearance, the sealing device forms a seamlessly flush plane with a visible surface of the filler piece and a visible surface of the sealing strip, wherein the base plate of the filler piece is almost completely encompassed by the cover profile in cross-section.

[0022] The filler piece proves to be simple to manufacture and cost-effective when the outer visible surface of the cover profile is formed by two side bars and a cover rail, which form a U-shaped contour in cross-section. The free ends of the cover profile's side bars, facing the base plate, are supported in the installed position by the groove base of a groove located on the vertical frame member. Due to the supporting effect of the cover profile with the base plate on the groove base, resulting transverse forces, for example, when the sash profile is closed against the frame profile, are easily absorbed.

[0023] The cover profile is preferably made of plastic. Other materials, such as metal, are also conceivable. The base plate, on the other hand, is preferably made of metal, although other materials are also possible.

[0024] A high level of tightness of the sealing device, particularly the filler piece, between the transitions of the component connection with the sealing strip and the so-called floor sill located on the lower frame member is achieved by placing a sealing pad that is identical in shape to the contact surface of the base plate facing the frame member. The sealing pad is preferably made of an abrasion-resistant rubber material. The sealing pad can also be made of soft PVC or a rubber material, which, due to the materials, proves to be particularly weather-resistant.

[0025] The filler piece is easy to install and cost-effective to manufacture thanks to the second free end being adapted to the shape of a guide rail arranged on the horizontal frame member. The guide rail is available in various versions, with the guide rail being raised, flush, or recessed. In order to accommodate all design variants of the guide rail for use with the sealing device with the filler piece according to the invention, the shape of the cover profile is adapted to the different versions of the guide rail, with the base profile being designed with a corresponding recess to reflect all possible design variants and retaining the original shape. The size of the recess is based on the largest cross-section of the guide rail. Since the recess is completely covered by the cover profile, there is no visual disadvantage.

[0026] The filler piece according to the invention is easy to install thanks to a snap-in connection between the base plate and the cover profile. When joined, the base plate and the cover profile form an integral component with a seamless, flat surface on the visible face. A clamping connection, created during the sliding connection of the two components, is also conceivable. Regardless of the possible connection types, the cover profile can be removed from the base plate in the reverse order of assembly.

[0027] In a latchable method for fixing an end position of the cover profile on the base plate, a latching device is preferably formed from latching grooves and latching projections, wherein the latching grooves are arranged on guide surfaces of the base plate and the latching projections are assigned to the respective inner walls of the cover profile, which are operatively connected to one another in the end position and secure the base plate with the cover profile against further displacement in the longitudinal direction.

[0028] Furthermore, it has proven advantageous for the function, installation and cost of the fitting that the sealing device can be installed independently of the fitting of the operating rod and independently of the manufacture of the window or door.

[0029] Further advantageous embodiments are shown in the drawings. They show: Fig. 1 a perspective view of a front view of a window or door in a slightly open state, shown from the inside of the room, with a sealing device according to the invention on the vertical frame member of the frame profile with the filling piece and an actuating mechanism concealed on the sash profile but shown visibly for identification purposes, and a displacement device for a sliding sash profile as a sliding sash or a sliding lift-sliding sash and with a fixed sash on the frame profile, Fig. 2 a perspective view in detail according to Fig. 1 with the sealing device arranged on the frame profile, consisting of a sealing strip with locking elements and the filling piece according to the invention according to Fig. 1, Fig. 3 an enlarged section of the filler piece according to the invention with a view of a cover profile of the filler piece according to Fig. 2, Fig. 4 a section in a sectional view and an enlarged section on the vertical frame member of the window or door according to Fig. 2 in section of the filler piece according to the invention with identification of the individual parts of the filler piece with the cover profile, a base plate and a sealing pad, Fig. 5 a perspective view in detail according to Fig. 1 with the sealing device arranged on the frame profile, consisting of a sealing strip with locking elements and the filler piece according to the invention in pre-assembled position, Fig. 6 an enlarged section of the filler piece according to the invention with a view of a cover profile and a base plate of the filler piece according to Fig. 5, Fig. 7 a perspective view of a cover profile of the filler piece according to the invention with a view of a contact surface, Fig. 8 a perspective view of a base plate of the filler piece according to the invention, Fig. 9 a perspective view of a sealing pad of the filler piece according to the invention, Fig. 10 a perspective view of a further embodiment of a cover profile of the filler piece according to the invention in the direction of view of a visible surface, Fig. 11 a perspective view of a further embodiment of a cover profile of the filler piece according to the invention in the direction of a visible surface, Fig. 12 a perspective view of a further embodiment of a cover profile of the filler piece according to the invention in the direction of view of a visible surface, Fig. 13 an enlarged section in a sectional view of the vertical frame member of the window or door according to Fig. 1 and Fig. 2 in section of the filler piece according to the invention in a second embodiment variant with identification of a connection between the individual parts of the filler piece with the cover profile and a base plate, Fig. 14 a perspective view in an enlarged section of the filling piece according to the invention with a view of a cover profile and a base plate in the pre-assembled position of the filling piece according to Fig. 13.

[0030] The window or door designated by 3 in the figures essentially consists of an outer stock or frame profile 7, in which a sash profile 2, which can be moved to open and close the window or door 3, as a sliding sash or lift-sliding sash, and a fixed field 40 are provided.

[0031] The wing profile 2 according to Fig. 1, has a wing spar 41 and a glazing 42 provided within this frame. The fixed field 40 essentially consists of the fixed frame 43 and the associated glazing 44.

[0032] When the sash profile 2 is closed - not shown -, it is locked to the frame profile 7 by locking elements 13' of the frame profile 7 with engaging locking elements 13 of an actuating mechanism 12 provided on the sash profile 2, at least on the vertical side of the sash profile 2. The problem here is Fig. 1 the transition or a gap 8 forming joint area 5 on the locking side between the closed sash profile 2 and the frame profile 7. The transition on the so-called locking side between the sash profile 2 on the vertical sash spar 9 and the frame profile 7 on the vertical frame spar 6 must be secured and sealed.

[0033] The Fig. Figure 1 of the drawing shows a perspective view from the inside of a room of the window or door 3 with the profile arrangement, which has the stationary sash profile or a fixed field 40 in the fixed frame profile 7 on a first side. On a second side of the frame profile 7, in contrast, there is the lockable closed position of the movable sash profile 2, in particular the displaceable sash profile 2 as a sliding sash or the displaceable lift-slide sash, with a sealing device 1 fastened to the vertical frame member 6 of the frame profile 7, which sealing device consists of a sealing strip 4 and a filler piece 11, 11' according to the invention. The movable sash profile 2 is relative to the fixed frame profile 7 and to the permanently mounted sash profile orFixed field 40 from the not shown locked closed position of the vertical wing spar 9 and from an at least sealing position of the vertical wing spar 10 to the fixed field 40 in the according to . Fig. 1 shown shifted position adjustable. In this case, the movable sash profile 2 moves from the area of ​​the passage opening of the fixed frame profile 7 in the horizontal direction in front of the fixed sash profile or the fixed fixed field 40 with a fixed frame 43, as shown in the Fig. 1 with the indication of the arrow direction 45.

[0034] In order to enable these two positions for lifting in the direction of arrow 46 and sliding in the direction of arrow 45 of the sash profile 2 relative to the fixed frame profile 7 as well as to the fixed sash profile or the fixed field 40, a special actuating mechanism 12, namely a so-called sliding fitting or lift-slide fitting, is provided between the sash profile 2 and the fixed frame profile 7. This has Fig. 1 an actuating handle 35 on the sliding sash profile 2, an actuating mechanism 12 with an actuating gear and a running element 36, 36'. In addition, on the frame profile 7 according to Fig. 1 on the lower and upper horizontal frame members 47, 48, a guide rail 37, 38 is attached for the running element 36, 36' arranged on the lower guide rail 37 and for a sliding element not shown on the upper guide rail 38. A locking device with locking elements 13 on the actuating gear of the actuating mechanism 12 in conjunction with locking elements 13' arranged on the frame profile 7 according to Fig. 1 and Fig. 2, contribute to the locking and promote the longitudinal movement of the sliding sash profile 2, if necessary in cooperation with the actuating mechanism 12 by means of bevelled locking members and / or locking engagements on the sealing device 1 of the frame profile 7.

[0035] The sealing device 1 attached to the frame profile 7 according to Fig. 1, Fig. 2 and Fig. 5, is arranged opposite the sash profile 2, separated by a rebate area 49 in a rebate circumferential direction. For a displacement of the displaceable sash profile 2 relative to the frame profile 7 in a direction transverse to the main plane of the window or door 3, the actuating mechanism 12 is arranged on the sash profile 2 so as to be movably connected to further functional components in the rebate circumferential direction, wherein at least the running element 36, 36' with rollers is assigned to the sash profile 2 for a displaceable displacement relative to the frame profile 7. The actuating mechanism 12 arranged on the sash profile 2 comprises, for a locked closed position on the closing side, displaceable locking elements 13, which form a locked closed position of the window or door 3 with locking elements 13' each assigned to the frame profile 7 and the sealing device 1.With a vertical arrangement of the sealing device 1, consisting of a sealing strip 4 and the filler piece 11, 11' according to the invention, on the vertical frame member 6 of the frame profile 7, the locking elements 13, 13', which consist of locking members and / or locking engagements, can be positively and / or non-positively positioned in predetermined profiled shapes of a receiving groove (not shown) in the sealing device 1 according to . Fig. 1 and Fig. 5. The sealing strip 4 and the filler piece 11, 11' according to the invention close the gap 8 between the functional components, dip into the rebate area 49 of the sash profile 2 and, with closing engagement in the locked closed position of the window or door 3, ensure improved sealing and increased burglary protection.

[0036] Depending on the size of the window or door 3, or security against unauthorized or forced opening, the sealing strip 4 takes Fig. 1 has a number of locking elements 13' at a predetermined distance, which, in operative connection with locking elements 13 fastened to the sash profile 2 and displaceable with the actuating mechanism 12, achieve secure locking in the locked closed position of the window or door 3.

[0037] Despite different shapes due to different design variants of a guide rail 37 on the lower horizontal frame member 47 of the frame profile 7, the sealing strip 4 can be adjusted according to the height of the window or door 3. Fig. 1 with a straight cut at the respective free ends. For this purpose, the filler piece 11, 11' is arranged at at least one end of the vertical frame member 6 between the sealing strip 4 and the transition to the horizontal frame member 47, the so-called joint area 5. In order to accommodate a variety of design variants with different guide rail contours and for a simple and cost-effective production of the sealing device 1, the filler piece 11, 11' according to the invention consists of Fig. 4 to Fig. 8 and Fig. 13 to Fig. 14 consists of two components, wherein a base plate 14, 14' fulfills the positioning and fastening of the filler piece 11, 11' and a cover profile 15, 15' covers the design variants in color and shape for the window or door 3. In addition, the filler piece 11, 11' according to the invention enables a force-locking connection by fastening elements 16 according to Fig. 6, preferably by means of fastening screws, to the base plate 14, 14', whereby the cover profile 15, 15' connects the base plate 14, 14' with the fastening elements 16 for a good appearance after Fig. 3, Fig. 4 and Fig. 13. For easy mounting and guiding of the fastening elements 16, the base plate 14, 14' points Fig. 8 according to holes 17. By connecting the filler piece 11, 11' through the fastening elements 16 on the vertical frame member 6 according to Fig. 6 and Fig. 14, the sealing device 1 with the sealing strip 4 and the filling piece 11, 11' in the area of ​​a lockable closing position of the sash profile 2 to the frame profile 7 of the sliding lift-sliding sash of the window or door 3 functionally achieves a secured effect against unauthorized intervention and a positive sealing result against climatic influences.

[0038] When the sliding sash of the sash profile 2 is closed - not shown - the sealing strip 4 consisting of the sealing device 1 and the filling piece 11, 11' according to the invention on the locked closure side of the window or door 3 form an operatively connected system by engaging over or behind the oppositely arranged vertical sash beam 9 of the sash profile 2 and the seals attached thereto. In the area where the sealing strip 4 and the filling piece 11, 11' according to the invention meet on the vertically arranged frame beam 6 at the respective free ends 18, 19 according to Fig. 2 and Fig. 3, the components connect almost seamlessly to form a single structural unit and seal the joint area seamlessly. The flush transition of the sealing device 1 from the upper horizontal frame member 48 to the lower horizontal frame member 47 or the floor sill also primarily prevents the penetration of air and moisture through the frame system of the window or door 3. This also makes the sealing device 1 more important for thermal insulation, as energy loss is also a critical issue. A high level of tightness against possible water penetration due to wind loads and driving rain is additionally achieved by the compressed fit of the sealing device 1 when the sliding sash of the sash profile 2 is closed.

[0039] Even the location of the joint area of ​​the sealing strip 4 and the filler piece 11, 11' with the respective free ends 18, 19 according Fig. 3, is sealed with the precise form fit of both components.

[0040] A positive connection of the base plate 14, 14' with the cover profile 15, 15' is achieved by shaping both components according to Fig. 4 to Fig. 8. For this purpose, the base plate 14 has a cross-section Fig. 4 has an undercut 20, into which the cover profile 15 extends with a web 21. The undercut 20 and the web 21 are designed to match each other, so that an effective connection against further displacement in the longitudinal direction of a longitudinal axis 39 and a secure hold transversely to the vertical frame member 6 is achieved. The cross-sectional shape of the undercut 20 and the web 21 can be designed differently with the same effect. A first preferred embodiment in cross section is a web-like projection 22 on the base plate 14 according to Fig. 4 and Fig. 8, which is engaged behind by a projection 23 on the cover profile 15 or, according to a further embodiment not shown, is encompassed by a groove. Also conceivable is a further form-fitting connecting embodiment of a filler piece 11' with a base plate 14' and a cover profile 15' according to Fig. 13 and Fig. 14, which has a dovetail cross-section 24, with the shape tapering toward the cover profile 15'. A circular design (not shown) is also possible, which tapers across the outer diameter down to the cover profile, forming an undercut for a positive connection.

[0041] In all possible design variants, the cover profile 15, 15' assumes a position secured against further displacement relative to the base plate 14, 14' and together form an integral structural unit.

[0042] In the mounted position of the filler piece 11, 11' and the sealing strip 4 on the vertical frame member 6 of the frame profile 7, a Fig. 1, which is depicted within the joint area 5 of a so-called closure side of the vertical wing spar 9 of the wing profile 2 and the vertical frame spar 6 of the frame profile 7. The sealing device 1, consisting of the sealing strip 4 and the filler piece 11, 11' according to the invention, lies sealingly against the upper and lower horizontal frame spars 48, 47, with all fastening elements 16 of the sealing device 1 for connection to the frame profile 7 being arranged concealed.

[0043] All illustrated embodiments of the filler piece according to the invention also correspond to the properties described below. Only the reference numerals of the first embodiment are used below.

[0044] After the Fig. 1 and Fig. 2, the sealing device 1 according to the first embodiment forms a seamlessly flush plane with a visible surface 25 of the filler piece 11 and the visible surface 26 of the sealing strip 4, with the base plate 14 of the filler piece 11 being almost completely encompassed by the cover profile 15 in cross-section. All embodiments also correspond to the described properties.

[0045] The outer visible surface 25 of the filler piece 11, which is the visible surface 25 of a cover rail 28 of the cover profile 15, is adjoined in cross-section on both sides by two side webs 27, 27' which are angled by approximately 90° and which in cross-section Fig. 4 and Fig. 13 form a U-shaped contour. The free ends 29, 29' of the side webs 27, 27' of the cover profile 15, pointing towards the base plate 14, 14', are supported in the mounted position Fig. 4 with the base plate 14 on a groove base 50 of a groove 51 arranged on the vertical frame member 6. Due to the supporting effect of the cover profile 15 and the base plate 14 on the groove base 50 in the groove 51, resulting transverse forces, for example during the closing process of the sash profile 2 to the frame profile 7, are absorbed.

[0046] To allow for a variety of possible designs in different colors and for easy installation, the cover profile 15 is made of plastic. Other materials, such as metallic materials, are also conceivable. The base plate 14, which is made according to the Fig. 2 to 4, which is covered by the cover profile 15 when mounted on the vertical frame member 6, is made of a metallic material to ensure functional stability. Due to the concealed position of the base plate 14, the appearance of the base plate 14 can be neglected, with the emphasis on stability being placed on the base plate 14.

[0047] For a high tightness of the sealing device 1, in particular the filling piece 11 according to the invention between the transition of the component connection with the sealing strip 4 and the floor sill arranged on the lower frame member 47 on the contact surface 30 of the base plate 14 facing the vertical frame member 6 has Fig. 4 and Fig. 9 has a sealing pad 31 that is identical in shape to the contact surface 30. The sealing pad 31 is made of an abrasion-resistant rubber material. Other materials with good sealing properties can also be used.

[0048] Depending on the design of the sliding sash or the sliding lift-sliding sash of a window or door 3, the guide rail 37 is raised, flush or recessed on the horizontal frame beam. Fig. 7 to 12, the filler piece 11 adapts to the second free end 32 of the shape of the guide rail 37 arranged on the horizontal frame member 47. In order to accommodate all design variants of the guide rail 37 for the use of the sealing device 1 with the filler piece 11 according to the invention, the cover profile 15 is designed to adapt to the different variants of the guide rail 37, wherein the base profile 14 according to Fig. 6 and Fig. 8 is designed with a corresponding recess 55 to accommodate all possible design variants while retaining the original shape. The size and shape of the recess 55 adapt to the largest cross-section of the guide rail.

[0049] The base plate 14 is connected to the cover profile 15 in a locking manner to prevent further displacement of the filler piece 11 according to the invention in the direction of the longitudinal axis 39. In the joined state, the base plate 14 and the cover profile 15 form an integral component with a seamless, flat surface on the visible surface 25. A clamping connection, which is created during the sliding connection of the base plate 14 to the cover profile 15, is also conceivable. Regardless of the possible connection types, the cover profile 15 can also be removed from the base plate 14 in the reverse order of assembly.

[0050] A fixed end position of the cover profile 15 on the base plate 14 is determined by Fig.6 to 8 is achieved by connecting locking grooves 52, 52' and locking projections 53, 53'. For this purpose, the locking grooves 52, 52' are arranged on the inner walls 54, 54' of the side surfaces 27, 27' of the cover profile 15, 15', and the locking projections 53, 53' are arranged on guide surfaces 33, 33' of the base plate 14, 14'.

[0051] Furthermore, it has proven advantageous for the function, assembly and cost of the fitting that the sealing device 1 can be mounted independently of the fitting of the actuating mechanism 12 and independently of the manufacture of the window or door 3.
