Abstract
Description
[0001] The invention relates to a door or window according to the preamble of claim 1 and to a method according to claim 22.
[0002] Due to suboptimal installation of doors or windows and / or the use of very heavy glass inserted into the sash frame of the doors or windows, a misalignment can occur between the sash and the frame in an upper or lower corner on the lock side. An upper sash frame corner can then lift slightly from the frame, resulting in a small gap between the sash and the frame, which is not optimal from an optical and functional perspective (e.g., ensuring sufficient smoke or air tightness).
[0003] To correct such a defect, the frame usually has to be subsequently adapted to the sash, which may involve tearing open the joint between the building structure and the building. Alternatively, the installed glazing must be replaced with more rigid glazing, which also involves considerable effort, or similarly complex, property-specific measures must be taken.
[0004] The invention aims to solve this problem using simple constructive means.
[0005] This object is achieved by the subject matter according to claim 1.
[0006] Accordingly, a door or window is created with a frame composed of frame profiles, and with a sash comprising a sash frame, wherein the sash frame is composed of sash frame profiles, wherein the sash frame profile has a first, outer profile structure on an outer side - which can be provided with a first hollow chamber - and a second, inner profile structure on an inner side - which can optionally be provided with a second hollow chamber - wherein the two profile structures are connected to one another via one or more wall sections, thereby forming a central hollow chamber, and wherein a surface element is inserted into the sash frame, wherein at least one adjusting device is provided for pressing a corner of the sash and / or for lifting the sash, wherein the respective adjusting device has at least one adjusting unit,which is at least partially or completely inserted into the sash frame profile, wherein the respective adjustment unit has at least one spindle drive, via which the respective adjustment unit is operatively connected to a base unit, which in turn acts on a blocking element of the surface element, so that an adjustment of the surface element can be generated by the spindle drive, whereby the corner of the sash is pressed towards the frame and the sash is raised, wherein the adjustment unit has at least one sliding block which is mounted in the central hollow chamber of the sash frame profile, wherein the sliding block is mounted on the side of the inner wall of the first, outer profile structure of the sash frame profile facing the central hollow chamber and / or on the side of the inner wall of the second, inner profile structure of the sash frame profile facing the central hollow chamber.
[0007] The adjustment device therefore enables easy readjustment if the sash has settled, which can happen after a certain period of use and therefore needs to be lifted or blocked up. The adjustment device advantageously simplifies such maintenance or readjustment work. Furthermore, the adjustment device creates a beneficially simple option for pressing the surface element and thus the upper lock-side corner of the sash on a sash already installed in a building towards the closing surface or frame, which at least reduces gaping of the sash. The adjustment device is particularly advantageous when the surface element is inserted into an open-rebate profile system. The open-rebate profile system allows for particularly easy installation of the adjustment device, as it can also be retrofitted to an existing door.All you have to do is remove a rebate panel and dismantle the surface element.
[0008] Thanks to the at least one advantageously arranged sliding block, several spindle drives can be easily and space-savingly accommodated in the central hollow chamber of the sash profile. By arranging the sliding block on the inside of the central hollow chamber facing the outside of the sash profile, the surface element of the door or window can be both raised and tilted. However, it can also be provided that the adjustment unit has a sliding block that is attached to an outside of a central hollow chamber of the sash profile. For outward-opening sashes, the attachment is preferably on the outside; for inward-opening sashes, it is preferably on the inside.
[0009] The two profile structures can be connected as a single piece across wall sections, or a multi-piece arrangement with two metal shells as profile structures and one or more insulating bars connecting the metal shells can be selected. Single-piece profiles can also be provided, where two profile structures are connected as a single piece across one or more wall sections and additionally via insulating bars. This construction can particularly well meet increased fire protection requirements.
[0010] According to a particularly preferred embodiment of the invention, it can also be provided that the slot nut is fixed or secured in the central hollow chamber of the sash profile by a positive and / or frictional connection. This results in a particularly robust fixation of the slot nut, which is capable of reliably absorbing the resulting forces when adjusting the surface element.
[0011] According to another particularly preferred embodiment of the invention, the sliding block can have at least one first groove, in the respective groove base of which a nut thread is introduced. The groove and the thread at the groove base of the sliding block achieve a particularly space-saving arrangement of the respective spindle drive with a few components.
[0012] It is also advantageous if the T-slot nut has a second groove with a nut thread into which a fastening screw is screwed for securing the T-slot nut in the central hollow chamber of the upper, horizontal sash profile. The fastening screw is thus fixed or secured in the sash profile, creating a frictional connection. This creates a structurally simple frictional connection when securing the T-slot nut in the hollow chamber of the sash profile.
[0013] Furthermore, according to a further, particularly preferred embodiment of the invention, the sliding block can have a recess on its upper side, so that a type of spring is formed on the upper side of the sliding block, which, when the sliding block is pivoted in, engages in a downwardly open groove of the upper, horizontal sash profile located on an outer side II of the sash profile, thus forming a positive connection. This creates a structurally simple and robust positive connection when fastening the sliding block in the hollow chamber of the sash profile.
[0014] Alternatively, according to a further, particularly preferred embodiment of the invention, the sliding block can be designed as a single piece with a U-shaped cross-section. This single piece advantageously reduces the assembly effort required for arranging the sliding block on both sides in the hollow chamber. When using a rebateless sash frame profile, such a single-piece sliding block, which is arranged on both sides of the central hollow chamber of the sash frame, can advantageously be designed simply as a slide-in element.
[0015] According to an advantageous embodiment of the invention, the spindle drive can be used to indirectly push the corner of the sash toward the frame. This provides an advantageously simple way of pushing the surface element and thus a corner, in particular an upper or lower corner—for example, the upper lock-side corner of the sash on a sash already installed in a building—toward the closing surface or the frame, thereby at least reducing any gaping of the sash.
[0016] Alternatively, the adjustment unit can also compensate for an offset in the lower corner on the lock side: Depending on how it is installed, an offset can also form in the lower corner of the sash (and the upper corner is pushed over). This means that the sash including the surface element is slightly crooked. By tightening the adjustment unit, the surface element (which can be designed as a rigid plate) can be tilted slightly on the lock side. The pivot point is essentially a central locking point, which can usually correspond to the latch of a lock. The adjustment unit, on the other hand, is preferably located at the top of the vertically aligned sash; depending on whether the upper or lower corner is to be pushed down, the adjustment unit can be arranged on the inside or outside (related to the opening direction of the sash) in a hollow chamber in the profile. The arrangement therefore depends on whether the sash opens from the top or bottom.whether the door or window opens inwards or outwards).
[0017] It would also be conceivable to install adjustment units for each sash corner (preferably in the area of the corresponding glazing blocks)
[0018] Furthermore, according to another, particularly preferred embodiment of the invention, the spindle drive can be used to easily lift the sash. This allows for advantageously simple readjustment if the sash has settled.
[0019] According to another particularly preferred embodiment of the invention, the respective spindle drive can be formed by an adjusting screw, each of which is inserted into a nut thread, with the respective adjusting screw acting on the base unit. This creates a structurally simple, robust, space-saving, and continuously adjustable adjustment option for the adjustment device.
[0020] It is also advantageous if the base unit is assigned a base plate and the base plate is operatively connected to the spindle drives, so that the spindle drives or the spindle drive adjusting screws act on the base plate, with the base plate being operatively connected to the blocking element. The base plate converts the point load of the adjusting screw into a distributed load, which then acts on the respective blocking element. This provides long-term, simple and advantageous protection for the blocking element against damage or even destruction.
[0021] According to another particularly preferred embodiment of the invention, the fastening or fixing of the T-slot nut can be achieved by means of a T-slot nut screw. This is a simple and advantageous fastening method, particularly for compact, material-saving T-slot nuts, which are therefore fastened without a positive fit.
[0022] According to another particularly preferred embodiment of the invention, the spindle drive can be realized with a female thread of a rivet nut, each of which accommodates an adjusting screw, with the respective adjusting screw acting on the base unit. This embodiment is advantageously used where a spindle drive is to be positioned in a web of the virtually rebateless sash frame profile or a conventional composite profile.
[0023] Another advantage is that the T-slot nut has threaded bushings for the set screws and the fastening screw. This allows the T-slot nut to be made of a less rigid material, such as plastic.
[0024] Furthermore, according to a further, particularly preferred embodiment of the invention, the base plate is screwed to a glazing rebate of the sash profile on the opposite side of the insulating profile relative to the slotted nut. This advantageously allows for easy positioning of the base plate and prevents it from shifting when the blocking element is tilted under load.
[0025] Alternatively, the base plate can be secured with two screws. By screwing the base plate twice, any displacement or twisting of the base plate due to turning the screw to secure the base plate can be prevented.
[0026] It's also advantageous if the base plate is flat. This makes it easy to manufacture.
[0027] Alternatively, according to a further, particularly preferred embodiment of the invention, the base plate can be U-shaped, so that the base plate has two legs, wherein the legs of the U-shaped base plate engage in downwardly open grooves in the sash frame profile after the U-shaped base plate has been installed. This allows the base plate to be easily and advantageously positioned securely on the sash frame profile.
[0028] As an alternative to fastening with screws, the U-shaped base plate can be secured by covering it with an insulating layer or similar material. This creates a particularly easy-to-install base plate mounting system without tools.
[0029] The invention further provides the method according to claim 18, which is characterized by the following method steps: Providing a door with a frame and a sash that can be rotated relative to the frame by means of hinges, the sash having a sash frame into which a surface element is inserted, the sash frame being composed of sash frame profiles and at least one sash frame profile having at least one adjusting device; Optional: removing a respective rebate panel on the sash frame so that the respective adjusting screw of a spindle drive of the adjusting device is accessible using a suitable tool; adjusting the respective adjusting screw of the respective spindle drive such that a respective base plate of a base unit of an adjusting unit and thus also a respective blocking element of the surface element is located at an angle to a horizontal blocking plane or an insulating profile of the sash frame profile; Optional: mounting the rebate panel in the sash frame profile.
[0030] The method enables advantageously simple readjustment if the sash has settled. The method advantageously simplifies such maintenance or readjustment work because it creates an advantageously simple option for pressing the surface element and thus the upper lock-side corner of the sash on a sash that has already been installed in a building towards the closing surface or the frame, thereby at least reducing gaping in the sash. The method is particularly advantageous when the surface element is inserted into a profile system that is open at the rebate - i.e. open towards the surface element - because this allows particularly simple installation of the adjustment device, as the adjustment device can also be retrofitted into an existing door. To do this, only a rebate panel needs to be removed and the surface element dismantled.
[0031] The removal and reinsertion of the rebate panel can be omitted and is particularly optional if the respective spindle drive is implemented with a nut thread of a rivet nut, which is inserted in a web between two recesses of the sash frame profile.
[0032] Further advantageous embodiments of the invention can be found in the remaining subclaims.
[0033] The invention is described in more detail below using several 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.

[0034] The following description of the figures describes several exemplary embodiments. Individual features of these exemplary embodiments can also be combined with exemplary embodiments not shown and are also suitable as advantageous embodiments of the subject matter described in one or more of the main and subclaims. In the following, the term "door" can be replaced by "window" in each case.
[0035] The terms used below, such as "top", "bottom", "right", "left", "horizontal", "vertical", "radial", "axial", "inside" or "outside" refer to the representation of the figures. Coordinate systems in the Fig. 1 , 2a and 2b serve as further orientation.
[0036] In Fig. 11 A state-of-the-art door is shown. The door is preferably designed as a fire or smoke protection door.
[0037] The door has a frame 1a, to which a leaf 2a is pivotally attached via hinges 3a. The frame 1a is composed of several frame profiles 10a to form a frame shape, in this case a U-shape. Preferably, each of the frame profiles 10a is mitered at at least one end. Alternatively, the frame shape can also be different, in particular, a continuous rectangle. A lower frame profile 10a can then be designed as a threshold (not shown).
[0038] The sash 2a has a preferably circumferentially closed sash frame 4a and a surface element 5a inserted into the sash frame 4a and received thereby, such as glazing, which can preferably be designed as fire-resistant glazing.
[0039] The surface element 5a extends parallel to or in a plane spanned by the sash frame 4a. This plane corresponds to an xy-plane according to the coordinate system in Fig. 1 The sash frame 4a is composed of several sash frame profiles 40a to form a continuous frame. Each of the sash frame profiles 40a can be mitered at its respective ends, as shown in Fig. 11 Other designs of the frame corners are conceivable.
[0040] The sash 2a can be moved relative to the frame 1a from a closed position manually using a handle - which is designed here as a door handle - or optionally (not shown) motorically via a drive into an open position and from this back into a closed position.
[0041] As in Fig. 11 As indicated, an offset can occur in an upper corner on the lock side between the sash 2a and the frame 1a. When the sash 2a is closed, an upper corner of the sash frame 4a then protrudes slightly from the frame 1a, resulting in a local gap (also called "gaping") between the sash 2a and the frame 1a. The cause of this is the heavy surface element 5a, which here is usually designed as a multi-pane fire-resistant glazing and can therefore be heavy.
[0042] Fig. 1 shows a door system according to the invention, which is preferably designed as a fire or smoke protection door system. The term "door" can also be replaced by the term "window" in the context of this application.
[0043] The door system comprises a frame 1, to which a leaf 2 is rotatably mounted via one or more hinges 3. The frame 1 is composed of several frame profiles 10 to form a frame shape, in this case a U-shape. Preferably, each of the frame profiles 10 is mitered at at least one end. Alternatively, the frame can also be rectangular. The lower of the frame profiles 10 is then designed as a threshold.
[0044] Wing 2 of the Fig. 1 has the casement 4 and a surface element 5 inserted into the casement 4 and held by it, such as glazing, which here is preferably designed as fire-resistant glazing. In this respect, reference can first be made to the description of the door of the Fig. 11 be referred to.
[0045] The frame profiles 10 and / or the sash profiles 40 are preferably manufactured as composite profiles. The composite profiles are described in more detail below.
[0046] The leaf 2 is pivotally mounted on the frame 1 by means of the pivoting hinges 3. The pivot axis is preferably a vertical axis, depending on the installation position of the door system in a building. The leaf 2 can optionally or alternatively also pivot about another axis.
[0047] The door system here also has, purely by way of example, a fixed side panel 6 and a fixed skylight 7. The fixed side panel 6 and the fixed skylight 7 each have a frame 60, 70, in which a surface element 8, 9, such as glazing, is inserted. The respective glazing here is also preferably designed as fire-resistant glazing. The glazing can be held by glazing bars 421.
[0048] In Fig. 2a A section of an upper, horizontal sash frame profile 40 of sash 2 is shown. The upper, horizontal sash frame profile 40 can be designed as a "rebate-open composite profile," whereby the term "rebate-open" should not be interpreted too narrowly, as will be explained below. The sash frame profile 40 can also be designed in a different way, which will be explained below.
[0049] The sash frame profile 40 can extend continuously metallically at least in the area of webs to be described vertically over the entire construction depth of the sash frame 4, which according to the coordinate system in Fig. 2a as viewed in the z-direction, i.e., preferably from "outside to inside." The sash profile 40 can particularly preferably be made from a light metal, particularly preferably from an aluminum material or an aluminum alloy, by an extrusion process as a one-piece profile. However, it can also have one or more insulating bars 403. Alternatively, the sash profile 40 can also be made from a different material, such as steel, or by a different process.
[0050] The following describes a continuous metallic sash profile 40 which has the insulating bar 403 in the area of a glazing rebate 422. The sash profile 40 can have one or more hollow chambers 401, 402 which are advantageous for statics and thermal insulation. These hollow chambers 401, 402 are located in sections which, in the case of a composite profile (not shown here), are in the area of separate metal shells which are each connected by insulating bars 403. The insulating bar 403 extends in a main direction of extension - which here is in or parallel to the x-direction of the coordinate system in Fig. 2a - continuously over the entire length of the sash frame profile 40.
[0051] The continuously metallic sash frame profile 40 described here, which has the insulating web 403 in the area of the glass rebate 422, also has a first, outer profile structure 41 with the first hollow chamber 401 on the side of an outer side II and a second, inner profile structure 42 with the second hollow chamber 402 on an inner side I, wherein the respective profile structure 41, 42 is modeled on the metal shells of a composite profile.
[0052] The two lateral profile structures 41, 42 can be connected to each other via one or more - here two - wall sections 404, 405 running in the z-direction (see also Fig. 2b und Fig. 2c ). These wall sections 404, 405 can run exactly or substantially parallel to each other. The wall sections 404, 405 extend to a respective inner wall 4011, 4021 of the two profile structures 41, 42. In addition to one of the two wall sections 404, 405, an insulating web or an insulating profile 403 connecting the profile structures 41, 42 is also provided.
[0053] In alternative designs, these wall sections 404, 405 could also be designed as insulating webs as a composite profile, which would then connect two metal shells "inside" and "outside" (not shown).
[0054] The sash profile 40 can also optionally have at least two spaced-apart, in particular undercut, grooves 406, 407 for inserting two geometrically corresponding, bead-like sections of the single insulating strip 403. One wall section 405 of the aluminum profile 1 can be formed between the grooves 406, 407. The grooves 406, 407 can each be supported on their opposite sides by one or more wall sections 408, 409. These extend essentially obliquely to the wall section 405.
[0055] The sash frame profile 40 can further have recesses 411 on its side facing the glazing, which can be arranged in the wall section 405 next to and between the grooves 406, 407 (see Fig. 2b und Fig. 2c ). The sash profile 40 may further comprise, on its side facing away from the glazing 5, further recesses 410 formed in the wall section 404 between webs 412, 413.
[0056] The wall section 404 is provided with the webs 412, 413, which are arranged perpendicularly and on both sides of the wall section 404.
[0057] The webs 412, 413 delimit the recess 410 laterally - i.e. in the z-direction. The webs 412, 413 each form two grooves 414, 415 and 416, 417. The grooves 414 and 415 are open upwards - i.e. in the positive y-direction - while the grooves 416, 417 are open downwards - i.e. in the negative y-direction. The grooves 414, 415 can be used to engage a rebate panel 418, as used, for example, in Fig. 4 is shown. The optional rebate cover 418 covers the recesses 410, 411.
[0058] The recesses 411 are designed in such a way that webs 419 remain between them ( Fig. 2a , Fig. 10 ). Accordingly, the recesses 411 form a quasi-rebate-free sash frame profile 40, with the "rebatelessness" being interrupted only by the webs 419.
[0059] Between the wall sections 404, 405 and the respective inner wall 4011, 4021 delimiting the respective profile structure 41, 42 in the z-direction, a further - central - hollow chamber 420 is formed in the sash frame profile 40 (see Fig. 2b und Fig. 2c ). The main extension direction of this central hollow chamber 420, like that of the other two hollow chambers 401, 402 in the profile structures 41, 42, lies in the x-direction or parallel to the main extension direction of the sash profile 40.
[0060] The central hollow chamber 420 is opened upwards - i.e. in the positive y-direction - through the recesses 411, whereby the insulating web 403 is accessible from the outside - i.e. via the recesses 410, 411.
[0061] An adjustment unit 110, which is assigned to an adjustment device 100 according to the invention, is inserted and secured into the central hollow chamber 420 through the recesses 411. The adjustment unit 110 here has a strip-like sliding block 1101. In this respect, the sliding block 1101 is part of the adjustment unit 110. The sliding block 1101 is attached here to the inner wall 4011 of the first, outer profile structure 41 of the sash frame profile 40, facing the central hollow chamber 420.
[0062] The adjustment unit 110 further comprises a first spindle drive 120 and a second spindle drive 120. The respective spindle drive 120 is formed by an adjusting screw 1201a, 1201b, which is inserted into a nut thread 1202a, 1202b, as shown in Fig. 3 The nut thread 1202a, 1202b is each introduced into a groove base of a first groove 1102a, b of the sliding block 1101. In Fig. 3 It also shows how the adjusting screw 1201a can be set into a rotary motion by a tool.
[0063] The sliding block 1101 can also have more or fewer than two first grooves 1102a, b with female thread 1202a, b. A surface of the groove base of the respective first groove 1102a, b in the sliding block 1101 extends parallel to a horizontal blocking plane of the surface element 5, in other words parallel to the wall sections 404, 405 of the sash profile 40 or - based on the coordinate system in Fig. 2b - in an xz-plane (see also Fig. 3 ).
[0064] The sliding block 1101 further comprises a second groove 1103 with a nut thread into which a fastening screw 1104 is screwed for fastening the sliding block 1101 in the central hollow chamber 420 of the upper, horizontal sash frame profile 40 (see also Fig. 2c ). The fastening screw 1104 is designed here as a grub screw, but it can also be designed differently. The sash profile 40 has a through hole at the positions of the adjusting screws 1201a, 1202b (not shown here). A groove base of the second groove 1103 also extends parallel to the horizontal blocking plane of the surface element 5, in other words parallel to the wall sections 404, 405 of the sash profile 40 or - based on the coordinate system in Fig. 2b - in an xz-plane (see also Fig. 3 ).
[0065] In Fig. 2b und Fig. 2c The upper horizontal sash frame profile 40 is shown in section as well as the installation of the sliding block 1101. In Fig. 2b shows how the sliding block 1101 is pivoted into the upper, horizontal sash frame profile 40.
[0066] The sliding block 1101 has on its upper side - i.e. its positive y-direction according to the coordinate system in Fig. 2b facing side - a recess 1105, so that a type of spring 1106 is formed on the upper side of the sliding block 1101. When the sliding block 1101 is pivoted in, the spring 1106 engages in the downwardly open groove 416 of the upper, horizontal sash frame profile 40, facing the outer side II of the sash frame profile 40.
[0067] The sliding block 1101 has on its underside 1107 - i.e. on its negative y-direction according to the coordinate system in Fig. 2b facing side - a bevel 1108. In Fig. 2c It shows how the sliding block 1101 is inserted into the upper, horizontal sash profile 40. To this end, the sliding block 1101 engages with its tongue 1106 in the groove 416 of the upper, horizontal sash profile 40. The sliding block 1101 rests with its underside 1107 and the bevel 1108 on the beveled wall section 408 of the sash profile 40.
[0068] The sliding block 1101 is thus on the side of the inner wall 4011 of the first outer profile structure 41 of the sash profile 40 facing the central hollow chamber 420 in the plane of an upper, horizontal blocking position (see also Fig. 1 ) and fixed or secured in the sash frame profile 40 with the fixing screw 1104. Optionally or additionally also in the plane of an upper, vertical blocking position
[0069] Accordingly, the sliding block 1101 is fixed or secured by a positive and / or frictional connection to the side of the inner wall 4011 of the first, outer profile structure 41 of the sash profile 40 facing the central hollow chamber 420. The positive connection is achieved by the engagement of the tongue 1106 of the sliding block 1101 in the groove 416 of the upper, horizontal sash profile 40, while the frictional connection is achieved by pressing the upper recess 1105 of the sliding block 1101 against a lower side of the web 412 by turning the fastening screw 1104, which is designed here as a grub screw. In this respect, the positive connection acts with respect to the coordinate system in Fig. 2b in the y- and z-direction, while the force closure acts in the x-direction.
[0070] The adjustment device 100 further comprises a base unit 130, to which a base plate 1301 is assigned, as shown in Fig. 2b und Fig. 2c The base plate 1301 is flat here. The base unit 130 and thus the base plate 1301 are operatively connected to the two spindle drives 120a, b (see Fig. 3 ), so that the spindle drives 120a, b, more precisely the adjusting screws 1201a, b of the spindle drives 120a, b act on the base plate 1301. The base plate 1301 is screwed with a screw 1302 with respect to the sliding block 1101 below the wall section 405 of the sash profile 40 in the glass rebate 422 of the sash profile 40.
[0071] After proper blocking of the surface element 5 of the door - which here is preferably designed as fire-resistant glazing - in which the surface element 5 is placed in the sash frame 4 and is pressure-tightly blocked at certain points with blocking elements 423 (see also Fig. 1 ), the adjustment device 100 can be actuated when necessary - i.e. when the upper corner of the sash 2 protrudes or the sash 2 has to be lifted so that the gap dimensions fit.
[0072] By evenly turning the two adjusting screws 1201a, b (see Fig. 2a and Fig. 3 ) the surface element 5 experiences a one-sided load via the respective base plate 1301 and the respective blocking element 423, so that a "slanted blocking" occurs (see Fig. 4 ). The base plate 1301 and the pressure-resistant blocking element 423 transfer the applied force to the surface element 5. In this respect, an adjustment of the surface element 5 can be generated by the spindle drive 120 or by the adjusting screws 1201a, b.
[0073] This creates a resulting force vector that acts obliquely to the horizontal blocking plane or the insulating web 403, whereby this obliquely acting force vector can in turn be broken down into a vertical force vector Fv and a horizontal force vector Fh, as shown in Fig. 4 is shown. The vertical force vector Fv causes the wing 2 to be lifted and / or the horizontal force vector Fh presses the surface element 5 of the door and thus the upper lock-side corner of the wing 2 towards the closing surface or the frame 1, whereby gaping of the wing 2 is at least reduced.
[0074] The adjustment device 100 can be continuously adjusted by means of the spindle drives 120, whereby a gradual or step-by-step adjustment of the spindle drives 120 is advantageous in the sense of an iterative approach to an optimal setting of the spindle drives 120. By turning back the adjusting screws 1021a, b, the wing 2 can also be relieved back to its initial position (see Fig. 3 ).
[0075] The respective base plate 1301 allows a "tilting" of the respective blocking element 423 as a result of the load being applied by the adjusting screws 1021a, b, without the respective blocking element 423 being damaged or even destroyed.
[0076] The adjustment device 100 thus creates the possibility of pressing the surface element 5 and thus the upper corner of the sash 2 on the lock side of a sash 2 already installed in a building towards the closing surface or the frame 1, whereby gaping of the sash 2 is at least reduced.
[0077] In the Fig. 5a und 5b In each case, a variant of the adjustment device 100 is shown. The base plate 1301 can also be fixed by two screws 1302 (not shown here, see Fig. 2a , 2b , 3, 4 ). By screwing the base plate 1301 twice, displacement or twisting of the base plate 1301 as a result of turning the screw 1302 to secure the base plate 1301 can be avoided.
[0078] As an alternative to a second screw 1302, the base plate 1301 can also be U-shaped for the structure described above. Accordingly, the base plate 1301 has Fig. 5a und Fig. 5b two legs 1303, 1304. The U-shaped base plate 1301 can thus be inserted into the glazing rebate 422, whereby the legs 1303, 1304 of the base plate 1301 engage in downwardly open grooves of the sash profile 40, which then serve as a guide when tightening the adjusting screws 1201a, b. The U-shaped base plate 1301 is not screwed, but is covered by an intumescent layer 424 and thus held in place, as shown in Fig. 5a und Fig. 5b The functionality of the adjustment device 100 and the inclination of the base plate 1301 are not affected by this.
[0079] In the Fig. 6a und 6b A further embodiment of the adjustment device 100 is shown, in which a sliding block 1101 is provided both on the side of the inner wall 4011 of the first, outer profile structure 41 of the central hollow chamber 420 of the sash profile 40 facing the central hollow chamber 420 and on the side of the inner wall 4012 of the second, inner profile structure 42 of the central hollow chamber 420 of the sash profile 40 facing the central hollow chamber 420, without creating a thermal bridge. The two sliding blocks 1101 are inserted into the central hollow chamber 420 of the sash profile 40 in a mirror-symmetrical manner.
[0080] Even in the case that a lower corner of the sash gapes on the lock side, the sliding block 101 would be located on the inside of the hollow chamber - relative to the opening direction of the sash 2 - and Fh would have the opposite effect (see also Fig. 6b .) The over-pressed upper sash corner is pushed out, and the lower corner is pushed in. The pivot point is the locking point (usually the latch of a lock on the frame).
[0081] When blocking surface elements 5, especially glazing with sensitive glass edges—for example, glazing that cannot tolerate angled blocking—this design variant advantageously provides expanded adjustment options by evenly tightening the adjusting screws 1201a, b on both sides. For example, angled blocking, either toward or away from the frame 1.
[0082] In Fig. 7 A further embodiment of the adjustment device 100 is shown. The use of the adjustment device 100 is therefore also conceivable with an off-center and thinner surface element 5, for example if the surface element 5 is designed as fire protection glass of fire protection class F 30, as shown in Fig. 7 The position of at least one of the adjusting screws 1201a, b is located above the surface element 5, so that no "slanted blocking" can occur. This is not a disadvantage here, since in this design variant, the function of lifting the sash 2 is primarily required. The base plate 1301 can be either straight or U-shaped.
[0083] In Fig. 8 is a further embodiment of the adjustment device 100 to the embodiment according to Fig. 6a und 6b shown. The sliding block 1101 is provided here both on the side of the inner wall 4011 of the first, outer profile structure 41 of the central hollow chamber 420 of the sash profile 40 facing the central hollow chamber 420 and on the side of the inner wall 4012 of the second, inner profile structure 42 of the sash profile 40 facing the central hollow chamber 420 - i.e. on both sides in the sash profile 40 - and is designed as a single piece with a U-shaped cross-section. The sliding block 1011, designed here as an insert, can be made of plastic. In such a case, the sliding block 1011 can have threaded bushings (not shown here) for receiving the adjusting screws 1201a, b as well as for the fastening screw 1104 (not shown here, e.g. Fig. 2c ).
[0084] In Fig. 9 A further embodiment of the adjusting device 100 is shown. This embodiment is similar to the embodiment according to the Figuren 2a bis 5b . In the version according to Fig. 9 The sliding block 1101 of the adjustment unit 110 is advantageously material-saving with small dimensions in the y-direction with respect to the coordinate system in Fig. 2b The fastening or fixing of the T-slot nut 1101 is done here by a T-slot nut screw 1109.
[0085] In Fig. 10 A further embodiment of the adjustment device 100 is shown. The embodiment according to Fig. 10 does not have a slotted nut 1101. The spindle drive 120 is realized here with a nut thread 1202a of a rivet nut 1110, which accommodates a respective adjusting screw 1201a, b. The rivet nut 1110 thus forms the adjustment unit 110. Figur 10 Describes the use in a profile without a rebate. The positioning of the spindle drive depends on the position of the blocking (which, in turn, is specified by the glass manufacturer).
[0086] The adjustment device 100 is preferably concealed beneath a rebate panel 418 (see Fig. 5b ), but is nevertheless - through a rebate-open profile system, as it is in the Fig. 2a bis 10 shown - optimally accessible. The open-rebate profile system also allows for easy installation of the adjustment device 100. Furthermore, the adjustment device 100 can also be retrofitted into an existing door. For this purpose, only the surface element 5 needs to be dismantled. Readjustment can be carried out without great effort both directly during the installation of the surface element 5, as well as after the installation of the surface element 5 if an offset occurs between the sash 2 and the frame 1. For this purpose, only the sash 2 needs to be opened, the rebate cover 418 needs to be loosened, and the two adjusting screws 1201a, b need to be tightened with a suitable tool, as shown in Fig. 3 is shown.
[0087] The adjustment device 100 thus enables easy readjustment if the sash 2 has settled, which can occur after a certain period of use and therefore requires lifting or blocking. The adjustment device 100 advantageously simplifies such maintenance or readjustment work.
[0088] Furthermore, the adjustment device 100 creates the possibility of pressing the surface element 5 and thus the upper corner of the sash 2 on the lock side of a sash 2 already installed in a building towards the closing surface or the frame 1, whereby gaping of the sash 2 is at least reduced.
[0089] The following method is specified for pressing a corner of the sash 2 onto the frame 1 and / or for lifting the sash 2: In a first method step, the door is provided with a frame 1 and a sash 2 which can be rotated relative to the frame 1 by means of hinges 3, the sash 2 having a sash frame 4 into which a surface element 5 is inserted, the sash frame 4 being composed of sash frame profiles 40 and at least one sash frame profile 40 having at least one adjusting device 100.
[0090] In a second method step, the respective rebate panel 418 of the sash profile 40 is removed so that the respective adjusting screw 1201a, b of a spindle drive 120 of the adjustment device 100 is accessible with a suitable tool.
[0091] In a subsequent process step, the respective adjusting screw 1201a, b of the respective spindle drive 120 is adjusted using the appropriate tool so that the respective base plate 1301 of a base unit 130 of the adjustment unit 100 and thus also the respective blocking element 423 of the surface element 5 is located obliquely to the horizontal blocking plane or the insulating web 403 of the sash frame profile 40.
[0092] In a further process step, the door is closed and checked to see whether any gap between the sash 2 and the frame 1 has been eliminated or at least reduced by adjusting the respective adjusting screw 1201a, b. If this is not yet the case, the previous process step is repeated until the gap is eliminated or at least reduced.
[0093] In a final process step, the rebate panel 418 is remounted into the sash frame profile 40.
[0094] The process steps of removing and installing the rebate cover 418 can be omitted if the respective spindle drive 120 is implemented with the female thread 1202a of a rivet nut 1110, which is inserted into a web 419 between two recesses 410 of the sash profile 40. It is also conceivable to create a piece of rebate cover as a separate item, which corresponds to the length of the adjustment unit and has corresponding recesses through which the adjustment unit can be operated, so that the rebate cover 418 does not have to be dismantled. If necessary, installation information could also be printed / embossed on the rebate cover 418 (e.g., screw drive TX10, etc., maximum tightening torque, etc.). Bezugszeichenliste
