Description

[0001] The invention relates to a building opening-closing element, in particular a window, facade element or door, which is designed to close an opening between a first room side - called exterior side I - and a second room side - called interior side II - according to the preamble of claim 1. The invention further relates to a method for producing such a building opening-closing element.

[0002] Windows, doors, and / or facade elements are known from the state of the art whose frame profiles can be provided with decorative wooden elements. This offers the user greater flexibility in selecting the frame surfaces. This makes it possible to visually match the window frames to other interior design elements (e.g., interior doors / flooring / furniture). Examples of prior art include DE 87 17 454 U1, KR 2004 0041899 A, and EP 3 392 440 A1. Wood, for example, can be subject to sorption processes and can change geometrically accordingly, for example, slightly bulge.

[0003] The disadvantage of the solutions from the state of the art is that this wood property is not sufficiently taken into account, so that unwanted warping of the wooden decorative elements or equally undesirable gaps between the wooden decorative elements and the frame profile can occur due to shrinkage.

[0004] According to the known prior art of EP 3 392 440 A1, this is achieved by two parallel webs between which the decorative element is inserted. The two webs act like two fixed bearings, thus hindering dimensional changes due to sorption processes or leading to undesirable gaps. Furthermore, this design complicates the installation of the decorative elements, which often cannot be carried out with sufficient precision due to the two webs, which also leads to visual impairment.

[0005] The object of the present invention is therefore to provide an automatically rotatable, tiltable and / or displaceable building opening and closing element such as a window, a door and / or a facade element, in which this problem is minimized.

[0006] The invention achieves this object by the subject matter of independent claim 1. Advantageous embodiments can be found in the dependent claims.

[0007] Accordingly, a building opening / closing element, in particular a window, facade element or door, is created which is designed to be able to open and close an opening between a first room side - called the outside room side I - and a second room side - called the inside room side II - and which has at least the following features: a frame composed of several frame profiles, a sash frame composed of several frame profiles, which is movable relative to the frame, and which has a surface element that has or forms a main plane, wherein the frame profiles of the sash frame and / or the frame each have a support section parallel to the main plane of the surface element, wherein a decorative strip is fastened to the respective support section of the sash frame and / or the frame - i.e. either on the sash frame or on the outside frame or on both frames.Each decorative strip is then attached to only one single contact rib of the associated frame profile on which it is placed. Preferably, it is attached to this contact rib along its entire length (if necessary, except for its ends, which may be adjacent to other decorative strips in a joint area, as described further below). Furthermore, an adhesive, such as glue, is provided between the strip and the contact rib.

[0008] This allows for the precise installation of one or more decorative strips, thus largely avoiding gaps. A substantially circumferential frame made of decorative strips can be created, which can then be bordered by a similarly circumferential support web.

[0009] According to claim 1, it is further particularly advantageous that the respective decorative strip, which is placed against a respective single contact web of the associated frame profile on which it is placed, is also placed on a support web of the associated frame profile that protrudes from the support section. Or, alternatively, it itself has such a support web that protrudes from it in the direction of the support surface and rests on the support section.

[0010] Furthermore, according to claim 1, the height of the support bar is selected such that the foamed adhesive carrier(s) is / are flush with a free end of the support bar, so that the support bar is completely covered by the decorative element. This results in a visually appealing design of the frame to which the decorative element is applied.

[0011] In addition, a building opening and closing element is preferably created in which the sorption processes of wood can be compensated, so that as a rule there is no undesirable bulging of the decorative strip due to swelling or equally undesirable gaps between the decorative strips and the frame profile due to shrinkage.

[0012] Insofar as a feature of a decorative strip and / or a feature of the frame profile on which it is placed is described below or in the claims, the respective feature can preferably also be provided circumferentially on all sides of the sash frame or frame.

[0013] In a particularly preferred embodiment of the invention, the respective decorative strip is / are mounted on the first and / or second side of the room, or the interior side and / or the exterior side. Accordingly, the decorative strips can preferably be provided all the way around the window or on three sides (in the case of a door).

[0014] This offers users great flexibility in selecting frame finishes, both inside and outside. This allows both visible sides of the frame, inside and out, or even just parts of it, to be fitted with a visually appealing decorative strip.

[0015] In another particularly preferred embodiment, the contact rib can be formed on an inner edge or an outer edge of the support area—that is, toward the surface element or on the side of the respective frame profile facing away from it. This advantageously allows the contact side of the decorative strip to be freely selected—for example, purely based on aesthetic considerations.

[0016] According to another particularly preferred embodiment of the invention, it can advantageously be provided that the support web is attached to the edge of the support section opposite the contact web. This results in a simple structural measure and advantageous flexibility with regard to the contact side of the decorative strip.

[0017] It can advantageously be provided that the respective support section is designed as the outer side of a web that is formed on the respective frame profile of the sash and that completely or partially overlaps the frame in the manner of a block window construction. Here, the respective decorative strip arrangement can be used in a particularly advantageous visual manner, as correspondingly large areas are created for the arrangement of the decorative strips. Analogously, the respective support section can advantageously be designed as the outer side of a web that is formed on the respective frame profile of the sash and that completely or partially overlaps the sash in the manner of a block window construction.

[0018] In a particularly preferred embodiment of the invention, the support section and the contact web can form a fixed bearing with respect to a direction of movement of the decorative strip parallel to the support section. This provides a structurally simple definition of a defined deformation direction for the decorative strip.

[0019] According to another particularly preferred embodiment of the invention, the frame can be provided with a (further) support surface oriented perpendicular to the support section and facing the surface element. This "further" support surface also allows a kind of "secondary visible surface" to be provided with a decorative strip, which can further influence and optimize the visual impression of the building's opening / closing element.

[0020] According to another particularly preferred embodiment of the invention, the support section and the support web can form a type of limited floating bearing with respect to a direction of movement of the decorative strip parallel to the support web—e.g., with respect to expansion or contraction. This makes it possible to compensate for such movements of the decorative strip through a simple structural measure—particularly in conjunction with the previously described fixed bearing—preferably formed by the support web.

[0021] Accordingly, the decorative strip can be made of wood. This advantageously makes it possible to visually match the window frames to other interior elements (e.g., interior doors, flooring, or furnishings). However, the decorative strips can also be made of a different material, such as plastic or metal. They can also be made of several different materials.

[0022] The frame profiles are preferably made of metal, especially aluminum or steel, at least in the area of ​​the support sections on which the decorative strips rest. However, they can also be made of another material, such as plastic, in this area. Further details are explained in the description of the figures.

[0023] In a particularly preferred and visually appealing as well as functionally advantageous embodiment of the invention, it is provided that the respective decorative strip has a rectangular cross-section with two broad sides and two narrow sides and that the decorative strip has, as one broad side, a decorative side which is aligned towards the interior side II or the exterior side I, and, as the other broad side, a fastening side with which the decorative strip is fastened.

[0024] It can then further be advantageously provided - preferably - that the decorative strip rests with its one narrow side against the contact web - preferably over its entire strip length - and that it preferably has the height of the contact web, so that it is aligned with it in a visually appealing and functionally advantageous manner.

[0025] As an alternative to a decorative strip with a rectangular cross-section, according to another particularly preferred embodiment, the decorative strip can be designed with an angled cross-section relative to its strip direction and has a first leg and a second leg. This allows both a main visible surface facing the respective room side and a secondary visible surface angled thereto on a frame of the building opening / closing element to be provided with a single decorative element.

[0026] In conjunction with this, according to another particularly preferred embodiment of the invention, the first leg of the angular decorative element is attached to the support section via its fastening side, and the second leg of the angular decorative element is attached to a support side of the frame profile via its fastening side. This allows for the attachment of a decorative element to both a main visible surface and a secondary visible surface to a frame of the building opening / closing element in a structurally simple manner.

[0027] In another particularly preferred embodiment of the invention, the support side has a contact rib extending perpendicular to the outer side. This creates a defined contact for the decorative element in a structurally simple manner.

[0028] It can further be provided that the decorative strip is fastened on its one broad side and / or its fastening side to the web on which it is / will be attached by at least one adhesive applied to the support section and / or the support side, preferably by at least one or more preferably foamed adhesive carriers and preferably further adhesive as an adhesive.

[0029] It is also advantageous if, in a further particularly preferred embodiment of the invention, the decorative element is fastened via a fastening side by at least one, preferably foamed, adhesive carrier applied to the support section and / or the support side, as well as preferably another adhesive. This results in a flexible element with a simple design that can elastically absorb the deformation of the decorative element due to sorption processes, at least partially, without the attachment of the decorative element to the frame being damaged or even completely loosened by the sorption processes. It can also be particularly advantageous for the decorative strip to be fastened to the web by two adhesive carriers that are provided at a distance from one another. Instead of one or more adhesive carriers, Velcro strips that can be brought together could also be attached to the decorative strip and the profile.

[0030] Another advantage is that, in some advantageous variants, the joint between two adjoining decorative elements can be designed as a butt joint or a miter joint. This allows the decorative element to be adapted to the joints of the frame profiles. However, other types of joints can also be realized.

[0031] The problem is further solved by the independent claim 10. The characterizing feature of claim 10 can be considered as a development of claims 1 to 9 or alternatively as an independent invention.

[0032] Accordingly, it is provided that the decorative strip on one side of the sash frame is divided into at least two sections, with the two sections forming a gap between each other and with a rosette with a handle arranged in the gap. This results in an attractive appearance of the sash frame, even in the area of ​​a handle, in particular of the sash element, the rosette of which is particularly advantageously integrated into the decorative strip arrangement and, for example, does not rest on it. This strikingly characterizes the appearance of the sash. The gap can extend through the entire decorative strip, so that it is divided into two completely separate parts, or it can extend only through part of the height of the decorative strip, so that a type of cuboid-shaped recess is created, which is limited at the bottom by an invisible part of the decorative strip.The rosette then lies in the recess, which is preferably flush with the surface of the two sections to the side of it.

[0033] According to a particularly preferred embodiment, the rosette can have a rectangular cross-section and its width corresponds to that of the decorative strip into which it is inserted. This allows for the rosette to be structurally easily integrated between two decorative strip parts or sections.

[0034] According to another particularly preferred embodiment of the invention, the height of the decorative strip can be dimensioned such that it is flush with the rosette. This also results in an attractive appearance. However, the rosette can also be designed somewhat flatter or higher.

[0035] Another particularly preferred embodiment of the invention also provides for the rosette to be made of a metallic material, such as steel or aluminum. This results in a robust rosette with an attractive appearance.

[0036] The object is also achieved by the method of claim 15. A method for producing a building opening-closing element according to one of the several preceding claims is provided, comprising the following method steps: a) Providing the frame and the sash, the adhesive carriers and the decorative strips; b) Applying the adhesive carriers to the support sections of the sash profile and / or the frame profile; and c) Placing an edge area of ​​the respective decorative strip onto the respective support web and then placing the respective decorative strip onto the respective support web, preferably by a pivoting movement.

[0037] Further advantageous embodiments of the invention can be found in the subclaims.

[0038] The invention is described in more detail below using exemplary embodiments with reference to the drawings. The invention is not limited to these exemplary embodiments, but can also be implemented in other ways, either literally or in other equivalent ways. They show: Figure 1: a spatial view of a building opening / closing element, here a window; Figure 2: in a) a horizontal partial section through a building opening / closing element with a wooden decorative element that is attached to a sash frame, wherein the sash frame profile has a guide element on an outer sash edge, in b) a horizontal partial section through a building opening / closing element with a wooden decorative element that is attached to the sash frame, wherein the sash frame profile has a guide element on an inner sash edge, in c) a horizontal partial section through a building opening / closing element with a wooden decorative element that is attached in the area of ​​the main and secondary visible surface of the sash frame profile, and in d) to f) each a horizontal section through a sash frame profile of a building opening / closing element;Figure 3: in a) to b) each show a perspective view of a section of a casement of a building opening / closing element; Figure 4: in a) and b) each show a section of a front view of a casement of a building opening / closing element.

[0039] The following description of the figures describes various exemplary embodiments. The individual features of these exemplary embodiments can be advantageously used in combination with the respective further features of the exemplary embodiments. However, they can also be combined with other exemplary embodiments shown or not shown and are also suitable as advantageous embodiments of the subject matter described in one or more of the main and subclaims.

[0040] In the following, terms such as "outside" or "inside" refer to the respective drawing plane or to the room sides defined below and shown in the figures.

[0041] The term "guiding surface" used below is to be understood as a surface that deprives a body of translational degrees of freedom in space until the body only has the desired degrees of freedom. A body in space generally has three translational degrees of freedom. Rotational degrees of freedom are not relevant here.

[0042] The terms "loose bearing" and "fixed bearing" used below refer to the reduction of the degrees of freedom of movement at the bearing point described above. A fixed bearing prevents one or more translational movements, while a loose bearing still allows translational movement within a limited range—for example, due to expansion or bulging of a component.

[0043] Fig. 1 shows a building opening / closing element, which here is designed as a window. However, the invention is not limited to building opening / closing elements designed as windows, but also encompasses doors and facade elements.

[0044] The window has a surrounding frame 1. This is composed of several profiles—frame profiles 10—to form a frame shape, in particular a rectangular one. On a door, one of the frame profiles can be designed as a threshold.

[0045] A sash, which is movable relative to the frame 1, is arranged on the frame 1. The sash has a preferably circumferentially closed sash frame 2 and a surface element 3, such as glazing, inserted into the sash frame 2 and received thereby. The surface element 3 extends parallel to or in a plane which is formed by the X and Y axes of the coordinate system in Fig. 1 The sash frame 2 is composed of several sash frame profiles 20 to form a frame shape, in particular a rectangular shape.

[0046] The frame profiles 10 and / or the sash profiles 20 can consist of a single material and profile and be designed, for example, as multi-chamber hollow profiles. However, they can also be designed as so-called composite profiles. In this case, they generally consist of one or more metal profiles - also referred to synonymously here as metal shells - and one or more insulating bars. A construction in which two metal profile levels are connected to one another via at least one insulating bar level, which is generally made of plastic, is preferred. However, other, further designs are also conceivable, in particular designs with one metal profile level and one insulating profile level made of plastic, as well as designs with three metal profile levels and two insulating profile levels. The profiles 10, 20 can also be designed as plastic profiles with hollow chambers.The hollow chambers of the plastic profile can optionally have reinforcement strips made of a metallic material, preferably steel.

[0047] In the respective embodiments, a preferably circumferential frame rebate space F is formed between the frame 1 and the sash frame 2 or their frame profiles 10, 20. This frame rebate space F essentially extends between the outer circumference of the sash frame 2 and the inner circumference of the frame 1.

[0048] A window is used to open and close a room opening in a building (not shown here), separating Room I (e.g., an exterior side of a building) from Room II (e.g., an interior side of the building). Alternatively, each room can also be an interior room, in which case both interior rooms are separated from each other, for example, by a door.

[0049] In the following, the terms "frame profile 10" and "frame 1" as well as "sash frame profile 20" and "sash frame 2" are used interchangeably. The means and configurations discussed below can preferably be formed circumferentially or in sections on the frame 1 or on the sash frame 2. They can be formed on only one of the corresponding frame profiles 10, 20 of the sash frame 2 and the frame 1, or on several of the corresponding frame profiles 10, 20 of the sash frame 2 and the frame 1. Furthermore, they can be formed on the exterior side I or on the interior side II. In the following, they are formed, for example, on the interior side II.

[0050] In the Fig. 2ais a frame profile designated by reference numeral 10 and a casement profile designated by reference numeral 20 of a respective vertical frame member and casement member of the window made of Fig. 1 A coordinate system in Fig. 2a serves for further orientation. The sash is shown here in a closed position. The frame rebate space F is formed between the frame profile 10 and the sash profile 20.

[0051] The frame profile 10 is designed here as a composite profile. It can have an inner metal shell 101 and an outer metal shell 102, which are thermally connected to each other by one or more insulating bars 103, 104.

[0052] The sash frame profile 20 is also designed as a composite profile and also has an inner metal shell 201 to which an insulating bar 202 is attached. The inner metal shell 201 can have one or more hollow chambers. The sash frame profile can have additional levels, such as another metal shell level or the like (not shown here).

[0053] The sash frame 2 overlaps the frame 1 in the closed state with a web 2010, which preferably extends parallel to the main plane of the surface element 3, which is defined by the X-axis and the Y-axis of the coordinate system in Fig. 1 is spanned or lies parallel to it.

[0054] This web 2010 has a support section 2011 facing space II, i.e., a section to which a decorative element, in particular a decorative strip 5, can be applied. In the illustrated embodiment, such a decorative strip 5 is also applied to the support section 2011 of the web 2010.

[0055] In addition, the outer frame 1 can also largely overlap the sash frame 2 with a web 1010. This then forms an overall "block window." The web 1010 also preferably extends parallel to the main plane of the surface element 3. This results in an appealing visual impression of the building's opening / closing element, since the sash frame 2, in particular, is in the visible area. This web 1010 also has a support section 1011, i.e., a section to which a decorative element, in particular a decorative strip 5, could be applied. However, in this example, no such decorative element is applied to this web 1010.

[0056] The inner metal shell 201 of the sash profile 20 further has, on its side facing away from the frame rebate space F, a support section 2011 parallel to the plane of the surface element 3—i.e., the main visible surface of the sash profile 20. This support section is formed on the web 2010, which extends parallel to the main plane of the surface element 3.

[0057] The web 2010 can have a groove on its side facing the frame rebate space F on an outer edge AK, in which a sealing profile 204 can be fastened, which seals the frame rebate space F against the interior side II.

[0058] A decorative element, which is designed as a decorative strip 5, is applied to the support section 2011 of the web 2010.

[0059] This decorative strip 5 covers the support section 2011 entirely or essentially towards room side II. Here, it only essentially covers the support section 2011, as it is attached on one side, and only on one side, to the single - single - support bridge 2012. This support bridge 2012 is visible towards room side II.

[0060] The decorative element embodied as a decorative strip 5 can have a rectangular cross-section. It then has two long sides and two short sides. The decorative element is preferably designed as a wooden decorative element, but decorations other than wood are also conceivable. It is preferably designed as a wooden decorative strip 5.

[0061] The long side of the decorative strip 5 facing the room is also called the decorative side 51. The other side is also referred to below as the fastening side 52. The decorative strip 5 then has a decorative side 51, which here is oriented toward the interior side II, and a fastening side 52.

[0062] The decorative strip 5 rests directly against the landing stage with one of its short sides. The height of the landing stage 2012 preferably corresponds to the height of the short side.

[0063] The contact web 2012 is formed here at the free end of the web 2010, the outer side of which forms the support section 2011. This end is also referred to as the outer edge AK. The contact web 2012 is thus formed here at the end of the support section 2011, which faces the frame 1.

[0064] However, the landing stage 2012 could also be formed at the other end of the support section 2011. The landing stage 2012 would then be formed at the end of the support section 2011 that lies toward the surface element 3.

[0065] Only a single support bar 2012 is provided on each frame side on each profile of the sash frame and / or the outer frame. This allows the decorative strip 5 to be pushed directly onto the support bar 2012 with its straight, short side without a gap. This results in a very attractive appearance towards room side II, where the decorative strip 5 is provided.

[0066] On the other side of the support section 2011, where no support bridge 2012 is provided, a support bridge 2013 may be provided. This end is also referred to as the inner edge IK.

[0067] This 2013 support bridge is significantly shorter than the landing bridge. Its height is only so high that the sum of its height and the height of decorative strip 5 equals the height of the 2012 landing bridge.

[0068] The decorative element 5 rests on the support web 2013 with the edge of the fastening side 52. Both webs 2012, 2013 extend perpendicular to the support section 2011 in the direction of the interior side II or in the Y-direction with respect to the coordinate system in Fig. 2a The support bar 2013 is therefore not visible towards Room II. Rather, essentially only the single support bar 2012 and the decorative strip 5 itself with its decorative side 51 are visible from the sash frame 2.

[0069] The decorative strip 5 can be advantageously and easily fastened between the contact web 2012 and the support web 2013 by means of an adhesive - e.g. by means of one or more adhesive carriers 6 and / or another adhesive on the support section 2011 of the inner metal shell 201 of the sash profile 20.

[0070] The height of the support web 2013 in the Z direction can advantageously and preferably be selected such that the foamed adhesive carrier 6 applied to the support section 2011 is flush with a free end of the contact web 2012. As a result, the support web 2013 is completely covered by the decorative element 5, so that the interaction of the single contact web 2012 and the decorative strip 5 results in a visually particularly appealing overall impression.

[0071] It is further advantageous that the support web 2013 allows movement of the decorative strip 5 parallel to the support section 2011 during initial assembly or during sorption processes of the decorative strip 5, since the support web 2013 is designed accordingly low. In this respect, the support web 2013 forms a loose bearing with respect to a direction of movement parallel to the support section 2011.

[0072] In this way, the decorative strip 5 is positioned via a first guide surface—namely, the support section 2011—and a second guide surface—namely, the contact web 2012, which here form a fixed bearing with respect to a direction of movement parallel to the support section 2011—and is held in position via the foamed adhesive carrier 6 and the adhesive on the two guide surfaces. The foamed adhesive carrier 6 is designed in such a way that it allows movement of the decorative element 5 due to sorption processes.

[0073] To avoid repetition, only changes or additions to the information in Fig. 2a described in the illustrated embodiment.

[0074] In Fig. 2b is a variant of the window made of Fig. 2a Deviating from the design variant according to Fig. 2a Here, the inner edge IK—i.e., the edge facing the surface element 3—of the support section 2011 has the contact web 2012, to which the decorative strip 5 adjoins with its side surface. In this respect, the support section 2011 and the contact web 2012 form a fixed bearing with respect to a direction of movement parallel to the support section 2011.

[0075] The decorative strip 5 also covers the support web 2013, which is attached here to the outer edge AK—that is, the edge facing away from the surface element 3—of the support section 2011. In this respect, the support web 2013 forms a loose bearing with respect to a direction of movement parallel to the support section 2011.

[0076] In this way, the decorative strip 5 is also positioned via two guide surfaces—namely, the support section 2011 and the contact web 2012—and held in position by the foamed adhesive carrier 6 and the adhesive on the two guide surfaces. The foamed adhesive carrier 6 is designed in such a way that it allows movement of the decorative strip 5 due to sorption processes.

[0077] In Fig. 2c is a variant of the window made of Fig. 2a Deviating from the design variant according to Fig. 2aThe decorative strip 5 is angular in cross-section here (as viewed in the figure). It can consist of two sections joined at an angle. The decorative strip 5 is attached via a first leg 5a on the support section 2011 and via a second leg 5b on a support surface 2014 arranged perpendicular to the support section 2011—which corresponds to the secondary visible surface of the sash 20—of the inner metal shell 201 of the sash profile 20, each using one or more foamed adhesive carriers 6 and adhesive.

[0078] Similar to the version according to Fig. 2aOn the outer edge AK—i.e., the edge facing away from the surface element 3—of the support section 2011, the support web 2012 is provided, to which the first leg 5a of the decorative element 5 adjoins with a side surface. Furthermore, the inner edge IK—i.e., the edge facing the surface element 3—of the support section 2011 has the support web 2013, on which the first leg 5a of the decorative element 5 rests with its fastening side 52. The support web 2012 extends perpendicular to the support section 2011 in the direction of the exterior side I. The support web 2013 extends here at an angle of approximately 45° to the support section 2011.

[0079] The support surface 2014 of the inner metal shell 201 of the sash profile 20 facing the surface element 3 has a support web 2015. This support web 2015 extends perpendicular to the support surface 2014. The support surface 2014 and the support section 2011 essentially share the support web 2013, which is oriented at 45° to the support section.

[0080] In this respect, for the first leg 5a of the decorative element 5, a fixed bearing is formed by the contact web 2012 and the support section 2011, and a loose bearing is formed by the support web 2013 and the support section 2011, and for the second leg 5b of the decorative strip 5, a fixed bearing is formed by the contact web 2015 and the support surface 2014, and a loose bearing is formed by the support surface 2014 and the contact web 2013.

[0081] It is advantageous that the support web 2013 allows a movement of the decorative strip 5 on the ground parallel to the support section 2011 or parallel to the outer surface 2014.

[0082] In the Figures 2d to 2f A section through the sash frame profile 20 is shown. In Fig. 2d It is shown how the support section 2011 can be provided with two foamed adhesive carriers 6. In Fig. 2e It is shown how the decorative strip 5 is first placed with its fastening side 52 on the support web 2013 and then, by means of a pivoting movement, can be applied with its fastening side 52 onto the foamed adhesive carrier 6 provided with adhesive, so that it - as in Fig. 2f shown - finally comes to rest with one of its side surfaces against the landing stage 2012. This can be achieved with a prestressing in the direction of the landing stage 2012.

[0083] In the Figures 3a to 3bIt is shown that an operating handle 7 for the sash—that is, the sash frame 2 with inserted surface element 3—is integrated into the construction via a preferably flush rosette 71, with one edge 711a, b of the rosette 71 serving as a guide surface for the decorative elements 5. The flush surface refers to the decorative side 51 of the decorative strips.

[0084] For this purpose, the decorative strip 5 is divided into at least two sections on one side of the sash frame 2, wherein the two sections form a gap between each other and the rosette 71 with the handle 7 is arranged in the gap. The rosette 71 can preferably have a rectangular cross-section. The sections can be completely separate from each other. The rosette 71 can extend across the width of the support section 2011. The height of the decorative strip 5 above the support surface can be dimensioned such that the decorative strip 5 is flush with the rosette 71 - which is advantageous both visually and haptically. The rosette 71 can preferably be made of a metallic material. However, it can also be made of a different material. In this way, it is particularly advantageous and easily integrated into the decorative strip arrangement of the profile on which it is arranged.

[0085] In the Figure 2athe respective decorative element 5 is attached laterally to the longer web 2012 on the outer edge AK of the support section 2011 of the inner metal shell 201 of the sash frame profile 20.

[0086] In the Figures 2b the respective decorative element 5, on the other hand, is attached laterally to the longer web 2012 on the inner edge AK of the support section 2011 of the inner metal shell 201 of the sash frame profile 20.

[0087] In the Figures 4a and 4b It is shown that a joint of two abutting decorative elements 5 is a butt joint ( Fig. 4a ) or as a miter joint ( Fig. 4b ) can be executed.

[0088] Below we will explain some details of the construction which are advantageous but not essential with regard to the decorative element.

[0089] The respective metal shell 101, 102 can have one or more hollow chambers. An additional insulating insert 106 is inserted into a hollow chamber 105 of the frame profile 10, which is formed by the metal shells 101, 102 and the insulating bars 103, 104. A central sealing profile 107 is attached to the insulating bar 104 facing the frame rebate space F. The metal shells 101, 102 are preferably made as extruded profiles from a light metal, such as aluminum. However, it is also conceivable for the metal shells 101, 102 to be made from another metallic material, such as steel, and / or using a different manufacturing process.

[0090] The sash frame profile 20 is also designed as a composite profile and also has an inner metal shell 201 to which an insulating bar 202 is attached. The inner metal shell 201 can have one or more hollow chambers.

[0091] The insulating bar 202 further has a counter-sealing surface 2021, against which the central sealing profile 107 fits when the sash is closed, thereby sealing the frame rebate space F. The surface element 3, which is designed here as glazing, is inserted into the glazing rebate space GF formed by the insulating bar 202. The insulating bar 202 also serves as a glazing bead. It carries a sealing profile 4. The surface element 3 is sealed against the exterior side I by the sealing profile 4. An additional, inner metal shell as a component of the sash frame profile 20 is not provided here, but is conceivable as an option.

[0092] When the sash is closed, the plug-in seal 4 rests against both the surface element 3 and the web 1011 provided by the outer metal shell 102 of the frame profile 10. The surface element 3 can be sealed toward the interior side II by a sealing profile 203, which can be inserted into a groove provided for this purpose, which the inner metal shell 201 of the sash profile 10 can have on its side facing the glazing rebate space GF.

[0093] The following method is advantageous for assembling the decorative element 5: In a first method step, the frame 1 with the sash 2 that can be rotated and / or tilted therein, the at least one adhesive carrier 6 and the required decorative elements 5 are provided. For a rectangular sash 2, five decorative strips 5 are usually required: two for the short sides of the sash 2, one for the long side of the stop, and two for the long side of the handle. If the frame 1 is to be provided with decorative strips 5, the required quantity is reduced to four due to the missing handle 7. The decorative elements 5 can each be provided with a miter cut at the butt joints of the frame profiles 10, 20 or with a cut running perpendicular to the longitudinal extent of the respective decorative strip, so that a butt joint or a miter joint can be formed at the butt joints of the decorative strips.

[0094] In a subsequent process step, the at least one adhesive carrier 6 is applied to the support section 2011 of the sash frame profile 20 or to the support section 1011 of the frame profile 10 or to both frame profiles 10, 20 ( Fig. 2d ). In the case of an angular decorative element 5, at least one adhesive carrier 6 is additionally applied to the support side 2014. Preferably, two adhesive carriers 6 are applied in each case, which in turn can preferably be arranged at a distance from one another. The fixing of the respective adhesive carrier 6 to the respective frame 1, 2 is preferably carried out by means of adhesive, which can, for example, already be applied to the adhesive carrier 6 in the manner of a self-adhesive adhesive 6 and can be exposed by peeling off a protective tape.

[0095] In a further process step, the respective decorative elements 5 are first placed on the respective support web 2013 in an edge area by means of adhesive and then attached to the respective support web 2012, 2015 by a pivoting movement ( Fig. 2e, Fig. 2e ).

[0096] This process allows for simple and precise installation of the decorative strips on the sash frame or the frame. Reference symbol
