Profile system for a sliding door or sliding window arrangement, especially roof sliding doors or roof sliding windows

Description

[0001] The invention relates to a profile system for a sliding door or sliding window arrangement for installation in an inclined window opening of a building, for example a sliding door or roof sliding window.

[0002] US Patent 3,946,524 A discloses a design for sliding windows and sliding doors comprising a frame and a sash guided thereon. The frame and sash consist of multi-chamber profiles, each of the profile elements of the frame and the profile elements of the sash having identical cross-sectional configurations on all sides of the respective frame and sash.

[0003] Such sliding window arrangements are known in various forms. For example, EP 2 650 453 A1 describes a sliding window arrangement, in particular a roof sliding window, with a guide frame and a sliding window frame comprising a window pane, which is mounted in the guide frame so as to be displaceable in a sliding direction by means of a guide.

[0004] From DE 202 17 594 U1 a sliding window with a window sash for installation in a cutout of an inclined surface, i.e. a roof window, is known, wherein the window sash has a sash frame comprising a glass pane with an upper and a lower horizontal sash frame leg as well as a right and a left sash frame leg, wherein the sash frame is slidably mounted in the upper and lower frame leg.

[0005] From DE 10 2009 017 178 A1, a sliding window is known with a surface cutout in a frame surrounding the roof, which has two guide legs arranged parallel to the sliding direction and two transverse legs arranged perpendicular to the guide legs, connecting the guide legs at their ends, and with a window sash that can be moved along the frame, which comprises a sliding frame with two longitudinal legs arranged parallel to the guide legs, wherein the window sash is designed to be movable parallel to the guide legs, at least in some areas beyond a pivot leg and with its longitudinal legs leaving the frame at least in some areas.

[0006] From DE 10 2005 050 022 A1, a sliding window arrangement as a roof or facade window is known, comprising a window profile frame that is slidably guided in a guide frame. Two or three windows can also be held in the guide frame, each slidably guided to both sides. The window frame(s) can also be motor-driven and sealed against each other by sealing strips.

[0007] From EP 1 338 717 B1, a frame with a sliding opening for a roof is known, with a roof-side frame that laterally limits the opening. A sash is movable in its plane relative to the frame, parallel to the roof slope, above the sliding opening. The sash has two identical half-elements that can be moved relative to each other into an opening and closing position of the opening by means of an actuator.

[0008] Finally, DE 103 53 287 A1 discloses a sliding window with a single and multiple window sash for installation in a cutout of a sloping roof surface, wherein the window sash is arranged in a sliding plane parallel to the sloping surface, has a sash frame comprising a glass pane and is mounted on a frame comprising the cutout in the sliding plane so as to be slidable from a closed position to an open position, wherein the frame is arranged on the roof surface.

[0009] However, the design of the profiles of glazing and sliding sash or sliding frames is not described in the prior art.

[0010] A disadvantage of conventional sliding window designs is that a large number of profiles are required for each specific application. This leads to higher manufacturing costs, but also higher storage costs.

[0011] Based on this, the invention aims to develop a profile system for sliding door and sliding window arrangements that can be used for a wide variety of installation positions and for individual designs without having to keep a large number of profiles on hand.

[0012] This problem is solved by a profile system with the features of claim 1.

[0013] According to the invention, a profile system is proposed comprising a frame having two horizontally extending frame legs, each formed by a main profile, and at least one sash frame accommodating a glass pane, the upper and lower horizontally extending sash legs and the single vertically extending sash leg of which are each formed by a first sash profile. The two horizontally extending first sash profiles are guided in guides of the horizontally extending frame legs or the corresponding main profiles.

[0014] The invention creates a modular system in which a single main profile, i.e., profiles with identical or the same cross-sections, can be used for the upper and lower horizontal frame members. The sash frame supporting the glass pane consists of three sides: the two horizontal sides and one vertical side, which are also formed from a first sash profile, i.e., profiles with identical or the same cross-sections. Only the second sash frame member requires a different profile type, depending on the specific embodiment.

[0015] The invention provides a modular system that allows for the creation of a wide variety of roof sliding doors and windows without requiring numerous profile types. Consequently, the production of these sliding door and window assemblies requires only a few tools, such as milling cutters, knives, stops, clamping jaws, etc., significantly reducing both technical and financial costs compared to conventional profile systems. Storage costs are also reduced, as only a few profile types are needed.

[0016] In one embodiment of the invention, a vertical frame leg extends between the horizontally extending frame members, which is also formed by the main profile. The guides in the frame members, in which the sash is guided, form a receptacle in the case of the vertical frame leg, into which the sash engages with its vertically extending sash leg or sash profile in the closed position. Even this sliding door or sliding window arrangement consists of two profile types, namely the main profile and the first sash profile, which leads to an optimization of manufacturing and storage costs.

[0017] Since sliding doors or sliding windows with identical dimensions are often found on a building for reasons of symmetry, the horizontal frame legs formed by the main profile and the one vertical frame leg can be joined together and prefabricated to form a frame module.

[0018] This simplifies the setup of the machines and also reduces the cycle time in production.

[0019] According to the invention, a sash frame module and a frame module are provided, the horizontally extending upper and lower frame legs and the one vertical frame leg of which are each formed by a single profile type, on the one hand the main profile and on the other hand the first sash profile.

[0020] According to the invention, a sealing module is provided with a second sash profile that forms the outer vertical sash frame leg when the sash frame is open and interacts with a connecting profile extending between the horizontally extending main profiles of the frame when the sash frame is closed. For this purpose, seals are provided on the second sash profile and on the connecting profile, which engage with each other in a sealing position.

[0021] In addition to the frame module and the sash profile, two further profile types are added to complete a frame: the connecting profile extending between the horizontal frame legs and the second sash profile, which closes off the sash frame on its outward-facing vertical side.

[0022] These two additional profile types, the connecting profile and the second sash profile, are necessary to allow the sash profile to slide over the connecting profile and, in the closed position, to create a seal between the sash frame and the frame. The corresponding seals are held in place by protruding recesses of the second sash profile and the connecting profile, respectively, so that they interact with each other in the closed position.

[0023] According to the invention, an insulating module is further provided, comprising a brush holder arranged on the outwardly facing longitudinal side of the second sash profile of the sash frame, the brushes of which interact with the connecting profile when the sash frame is in the closed position. This insulating module can be easily prefabricated and attached to the outwardly facing longitudinal side of the second sash profile, for example by clipping it on.

[0024] These modules make it easy to create different sliding door and sliding window arrangements.

[0025] For example, in a double-leaf sliding door or window arrangement with sash frames that slide in opposite directions when open, these are each formed by sash frame modules, with the outer legs of each sash frame being formed by the two sash profiles, the outer surfaces of which are each sealed by sealing modules. The frame has a continuous upper and a lower main profile, with external vertical connecting profiles completing the frame.

[0026] The design stipulates that the opposing, vertically extending inner sash frame legs of the two sash frames, each formed by the first sash profile, are held in the closed position by means of a locking module. For this purpose, clamping profiles are attached to one of the two opposing vertical sash frame legs. In the closed position, these clamping profiles engage a rod attached to the opposing sash frame leg of the other sash frame. This securely and weatherproofs the two sash frames. This measure makes it possible to utilize the first sash profile for the opposing vertical sash frame legs, thus enabling the use of sash frame modules.

[0027] According to the invention, holders for brushes can be provided on the clamp profiles, which come into contact with opposite sides of the rod when the two wing frames are in the closed position, thereby further improving the weather resistance of the system.

[0028] In a double-leaf sliding door or window arrangement with a fixed sash frame and a sash frame that can be moved underneath it when viewed from the outside in the open position, the fixed sash frame is mounted on the frame, for example, by screwing it on. Both sash frames are each formed by a sash frame module, wherein the vertically extending inner sash frame leg of the fixed sash frame is formed by the second sash profile and that of the moving sash frame by a third sash frame profile. An additional third sash profile is required, which, in the closed position, interacts with the vertically extending second sash profile of the fixed sash frame to create a weatherproof seal.

[0029] Preferably, the insulating modules described above are arranged on the second and third wing frame profiles, the brushes of which interact with the respective frame of the other wing frame in the closed position.

[0030] It should be noted that an insulating module is usually attached to the vertical outer side of the second sash frame module. However, for manufacturing reasons, the insulating module is produced separately.

[0031] According to the invention, it is also possible for the brush holder arranged on the vertically extending sash frame leg of the fixed sash frame to be designed as a cover that extends outwards over the frame profile. This is intended to achieve both a tight seal and insulation.

[0032] The modular system according to the invention can also be advantageously used for a four-panel sliding door or sliding window arrangement, with two centrally arranged, oppositely sliding sash frames and two outer fixed sash frames. The two centrally arranged, oppositely sliding sash frames of the sliding door or sliding window arrangement are held in the closed position by the locking module.

[0033] Here again, the advantage of the modular system becomes apparent: the profile system described above is used for a double-leaf sliding door or window assembly with a fixed sash frame and a sash frame that, when open (viewed from the outside), slides beneath it. The fixed sash frame is mounted on the frame, and both sash frames are formed by the sash frame module. The vertical inner sash frame leg of the fixed sash frame is simply doubled or mirrored by the second sash profile, and that of the sliding sash frame by a third sash frame profile. Only the locking module is used, as is the case with double-leaf sliding door or window assemblies where the sashes slide in opposite directions when open.

[0034] As for the profiles themselves, the first sash profile can consist of a lower shell and an upper shell made of aluminum or an aluminum alloy. Preferably, two plastic webs are inserted between the two shells, and insulation is placed in the resulting cavity to achieve the required U-value, i.e., heat transfer coefficient, of the window or door.

[0035] The second sash profile consists of the same upper shell as the first. The lower shell additionally has a recess for the seal, which, depending on the design of the sliding door or sliding window assembly, interacts either with the seal on the connecting profile or with the seal on the third sash profile in the closed position. In the second sash profile, the inner plastic web is designed like that of the first sash profile, while the outer web has an additional extension for clipping onto the brush module. Insulation is again inserted in the area of ​​the plastic webs to further insulate and prevent thermal bridging.

[0036] The third sash profile consists of the lower shell of the first sash profile. The upper shell has an additional receptacle for the seal, which, in the embodiment with a sash frame that is slidable beneath a fixed sash frame, interacts with the seal of the fixed sash frame or with the second sash profile. The inner plastic web is designed as in the first sash profile, while the outer web again has an additional extension for clipping to the brush module. In order to achieve a seal with the corresponding frame leg of the other sash in the closed position, the third sash profile, unlike the second profile, now has a receptacle for the seal on its lower shell, which interacts with the seal of the sash frame leg of the other sash frame in the sealed position. Insulating material is again inserted in the area between the at least two webs.

[0037] The main profile of the frame also consists of a lower shell made of aluminum or an aluminum alloy with a chamber to house the motor or guide the manual drive, as will be described later. Two plastic ribs are attached to the lower shell, to which an upper shell made of aluminum or an aluminum alloy is connected. Insulating material is inserted into the space between the ribs to achieve the required thermal transmittance value.

[0038] The electric drive, which will be described later, may have a cutout in the lower section of the main profile to allow the motor to be placed and secured or screwed into the profile. The other necessary components can be inserted into the lower shell through the opening at the ends of the profile. Once the motor is installed, the cutout can be closed again with a cover or similar.

[0039] As described above, the profile system can also be equipped with a manual or motorized drive, wherein the main profile of the sliding door or sliding window arrangement has at least one chamber for receiving a manual or motorized drive for the sliding sash frame(s).

[0040] From a manufacturing and assembly perspective, it is particularly advantageous for a manual drive to include at least one carriage that can move along a rail and is connected to the respective sliding sash frame via a connecting link. This design makes the drive very smooth-running.

[0041] The connecting element between the slide and the wing profile can be L-shaped, with a sliding piece, preferably made of plastic, in particular polyamide, provided on the leg of the L-shaped connecting element that is connected to the movable wing frame. This sliding piece slides on a profile section of the main profile when the drive is actuated. This also contributes to the smooth operation of the mechanical drive.

[0042] In the case of a motor drive, this is preferably designed as a spindle drive, which is provided in the chamber of the main profile for moving the respective wing profile and is connected to the movable wing frame via one, preferably two, spindle nuts arranged at axial distances from each other.

[0043] Both motorized and manual drives allow for silent opening and closing of the sash frames. The drive mechanism is designed for very smooth operation. The inventive design of both drive types also enables large opening areas with correspondingly large sash frame dimensions.

[0044] Further objectives, advantages, features, and applications of the present invention will become apparent from the following description of exemplary embodiments with reference to the drawings. All features described and / or illustrated, individually or in any meaningful combination, constitute the subject matter of the present invention, even independently of their compilation in the claims or their cross-references.

The sash frame 5 also has two horizontally extending sash frame legs 6, 7, as well as one shown in the illustration according to Figure 1vertical left wing frame leg 8, all of which are formed by a first wing profile 10 with identical profile cross-section, as shown in Figures 3, 3a , shown and described in more detail below. The sash frame 5 can have a glass pane 9.

[0051] This sash frame 5 is completed by a second vertical sash frame leg, which in the single-leaf sliding door or sliding window arrangement shown here is formed by a second sash profile 14, as shown in Figures 4, 4a is shown.

[0052] The sash frame 5 slides with its horizontal sash frame legs 6, 7 in a guide 11 of the main profile 10 of the horizontal upper and lower frame leg 2, 3 when moving from the opening and closing positions. In the closed position, one vertical sash frame leg 8, which is also formed by the first sash profile 10, engages in the guide 11 or in the receiving of the vertically running frame leg 12.

[0053] As from Figure 1c As can be seen, a seal 63 is provided on the first wing profile 10 of the vertical wing frame leg 8.

[0054] The in Figure 1The right vertical sash frame leg 15 shown is formed by a second sash profile 14, which interacts with the connecting profile 16 of the frame in the closed position. Seals 17 are arranged on the connecting profile 16 and on the second sash profile 14, which come into a sealing position when the sash frame 5 is closed.

[0055] In addition, the outer vertical wing frame leg 15 formed by the second wing profile 14 has an insulating module 13 with brush holders 18 arranged on its outwardly facing longitudinal side, the brushes of which interact with the connecting profile 16 in the closed position of the wing frame 5, thereby creating both a weatherproof seal and thermal insulation.

[0056] Sliding pieces 64 are inserted into the first wing profiles 10 of the horizontal wing frame legs 6, 7, by means of which the wing frame 5 slides in the horizontal frame legs 2, 3 or on corresponding supports or attachments of the main profile 10 when opening and closing.

[0057] As from Figures 2 and 2a As can be seen, the main profile 4 of the frame 1 consists of a lower shell 47, which is connected to an upper shell 49 via two plastic webs 48. The lower and upper shells 47, 49 are made of aluminum or an aluminum alloy. Insulation can be inserted into the space between the webs 48 to achieve the required thermal transmittance. The lower shell 47 has a chamber 40, which is designed to accommodate a mechanical component, cf. Figures 2b to 2d , or an electric drive, cf. Figures 2e , 2f, serves. In the case of the electric drive, a (not shown) cutout can be provided in the lower shell 47, which facilitates the placement and fixing of the motor drive and can be closed after installation by a (not shown) cover.
