Description

[0001] The present invention relates to an arrangement with at least one profile for at least one cover element, preferably for a window, for covering at least one opening in a stationary structure and at least one, preferably substantially rectangular, cover element, according to the preamble of claim 1.

[0002] Profiles, for example for windows, are well-known from the prior art. However, these have a number of disadvantages: The profiles are connected to the fixed structure via fittings, which, for example, allow a pivoting movement around a vertical axis. The fittings are visible to the user in every pivoting position of the profile, which diminishes the aesthetic impression created by the profile and any associated cover element. Furthermore, installation space is required for attaching the fitting to both the profile and the fixed structure, space which is then lost to the surface area of ​​the cover element.

[0003] Another problem, especially with plastic profiles, is that they have reduced torsional stiffness.

[0004] The object of the present invention is to provide a profile that is improved compared to the prior art and in which the disadvantages known from the prior art are at least partially eliminated. Furthermore, an arrangement comprising at least one such improved profile and at least one cover element is to be provided.

[0005] This problem is solved by the features of claim 1.

[0006] Accordingly, it is provided that the profile for at least one cover element, preferably for a window, for covering at least one opening in a fixed structure, comprises at least one interface for fastening the at least one cover element and at least one profile body facing the fixed structure in the assembly state, wherein the at least one profile body has at least one guide rail, which is substantially C-shaped in cross-section, for guiding at least one carriage.

[0007] Because the profile includes at least one guide rail, a connection interface is provided through which the profile can be attached to the fixed structure. Furthermore, the integration of the guide rail into the profile body results in a compact design, saving installation space that can then be used for the surface area of ​​the cover element. At the same time, the guide rail is at least partially concealed by the profile body, allowing for aesthetically pleasing architectural designs. Another significant advantage, particularly with plastic profile bodies, is that the guide rail can be used to stiffen the profile body, thus fulfilling an additional function besides its primary role of guiding a carriage.Furthermore, compared to tilt fittings, the guide rail allows the user to experience harmonious movement patterns of at least one cover element.

[0008] Advantageous embodiments consist in the at least one guide rail being formed integrally within the at least one profile body and / or being integrated into the at least one profile body in the form of at least one insert. In a one-piece design, for example, a channel can be provided in the profile body, which functions as a guide rail. The use of an insert is particularly advantageous when the profile body and the guide rail are made of different materials, e.g., aluminum / steel or plastic / steel.

[0009] Preferably, at least one profile body is made of aluminum, preferably an extruded aluminum profile, and / or of at least one plastic, and / or wherein the profile body is designed as a hollow profile body. Aluminum conveys a high-quality impression, especially in window construction. Plastic has advantageous thermal insulation properties.

By means of such a guide device, the profile and the cover element arranged thereon can be attached to the stationary structure in a technically simple and compact form. Preferably, more than one such guide device is used, e.g., two or four guide devices.In the case of an essentially rectangular cover element, the use of one guide device per corner is advantageous, preferably wherein two of the four guide devices are arranged in a mirror-symmetrical manner to the other two guide devices, so that in two guide devices the support body is arranged on the stationary structure and in the other two guide devices the support body is arranged on at least one cover element.

[0018] According to the invention, the at least one carriage and the at least one support body are connected to each other via at least one articulated lever mechanism, wherein the at least one articulated lever mechanism has at least two support levers articulated to each other via a first articulated axis, and at least two drive levers articulated to each other via a second articulated axis, preferably wherein the first articulated axis and the second articulated axis are essentially orthogonal to each other.

[0019] Additionally, the arrangement may include at least one stock profile body for attachment to the stationary structure, preferably wherein the at least one stock profile body includes at least one stock guide rail for guiding at least one carriage, and particularly preferably wherein the at least one stock guide rail, which is substantially C-shaped in cross-section, is arranged substantially parallel to the at least one guide rail of the at least one profile. The at least one stock guide rail may be formed integrally within the at least one stock profile body and / or be integrated into the at least one stock profile body in the form of at least one insert.
