Abstract
Description
[0001] The invention relates to a frame element for a building locking device, comprising several frame members supporting glazing, in which a glazing receptacle of the frame element is formed, which is bounded in one direction by a glass support surface, in particular a circumferential glass support surface, upon which the glazing rests, wherein glazing beads are attached to the frame members on a side of the glazing opposite the glass support surface, so that the glazing is arranged between the glass support surface of the frame members and the glazing beads. The invention further relates to a method for manufacturing a frame element for a building locking device and to a building locking device for a building.
[0002] For example, the prior art document DE 10 2009 058 120 A1 describes a profile arrangement, particularly for a window or door, comprising an inner profile, an outer profile with a glazing bead, wherein the inner profile and the glazing bead form a support for a surface element. It is provided that the glazing bead is a solid glazing bead.
[0003] Furthermore, a glazing bead for attachment to the frame of a window or door is known from German patent application DE 10 2007 054 445 A1, wherein the glazing bead serves to hold a glazing element in position from the inside of the building. It is provided that the glazing bead has a base that serves as a mounting surface on the frame; the glazing bead includes a glazing retainer that serves to fix the glazing element; the glazing bead has retaining means for an external glazing bead, comprising at least two retaining lugs; and the glazing retainer serves as a retaining lug for the internal glazing bead.
[0004] Furthermore, German patent application DE 10 2018 131 997 A1 discloses a window with a frame formed from frame profiles and a plate-shaped glass element, which is fixed to the frame by at least one glazing bead held in a groove or web of a frame profile. The glazing bead is secured to the frame profile by at least one screw.
[0005] Finally, the publication DE 20 2006 004 123 U1 describes insulating glass units in the plastic window sash, whereby a foamed double-sided adhesive tape is applied between the insulating glass unit and the outer window sash.
[0006] The object of the invention is to propose a frame element for a building closure device which has advantages over known frame elements, in particular ensuring excellent statics of the frame element with low material usage and enabling particularly simple manufacturing.
[0007] Experience has shown that this is achieved with a frame element for a building closure device of a building with the features of claim 1. It is provided that the glazing is fixed in the glazing receptacle by means of an adhesive and / or sealant inserted between the glazing and the glazing receptacle, which limits the glazing in a further direction, and the glazing receptacle.
[0008] Advantageous embodiments with expedient further developments of the invention are specified in the dependent claims. It should be noted that the exemplary embodiments described in the description are not limiting; rather, any variations of the features disclosed in the description, the claims, and the figures are possible.
[0009] The frame element preferably forms part of the building locking device, but can of course also exist separately from it, particularly until the frame element is mounted on or in the building locking device. The building locking device, in turn, is designed and configured for mounting on or in the building. The building has a building envelope in which a building envelope opening is created. The building envelope lies between the building's exterior environment and its interior, thus separating them. The building envelope is designed, for example, as the building's wall or—preferably—as its roof. The building envelope opening is therefore either a wall opening or a roof opening. The building locking device is arranged in the building envelope opening.The building closure device serves to close the building at least temporarily, in particular to close the building envelope recess formed in the building envelope at least temporarily.
[0010] The building closure device is designed, for example, as a door or – preferably – as a window. The window can be a facade window or, in a preferred embodiment, a roof window or skylight, in particular a residential roof window or skylight. The building closure device is designed to allow light to pass through and close the opening in the building envelope, and is therefore at least partially and in certain areas translucent. For this purpose, the building closure device has glazing that is translucent and is, for example, single glazing or multiple glazing, in particular double glazing or triple glazing.
[0011] The building locking device preferably comprises several frame elements, namely a first frame element and a second frame element. Each of the frame elements has several frame members. The frame members preferably each have a hollow profile made of a frame material. For example, a plastic is used as the frame material, so that the hollow profile is a plastic hollow profile. Preferably, reinforcement made of a reinforcing material different from the frame material is arranged in a chamber of the hollow profile. Preferably, metal, in particular steel, is used as the reinforcing material. For example, the reinforcement is in the form of a U-profile or the like.
[0012] The frame members are attached to one another in such a way that they enclose a section of the building closure device between them. Each frame member thus forms a closed frame or frame element. The frame elements, or the multiple frame members, are specifically designed to overlap and / or cover the building envelope opening. Preferably, the frame members are arranged and designed such that they, particularly together with the glazing, at least temporarily, and preferably completely, close the building envelope opening. For this purpose, the glazing is supported by the frame element, particularly the second frame element. Specifically, it is enclosed by the frame members of the frame element or the second frame element.
[0013] The building locking device is preferably openable and closable, meaning it can be opened and closed, and is designed accordingly. Consequently, the building locking device can exist in different states in which the two frame elements of the building locking device are arranged differently relative to each other. For example, the building locking device is closed in a first state and at least partially or even completely open in a second state. The first state can therefore also be referred to as the closed state and the second state as the open state. In the first state of the building locking device, particularly in the closed state, an opening bounded by the first frame element is further closed by the second frame element than in the second state, particularly in the open state.Preferably, the opening of the first frame element is completely closed by the second frame element in the closed state, particularly together with the glazing.
[0014] The second frame element is displaceable relative to the first frame element, in particular pivotable or rotatable. For this purpose, the second frame element is pivotably mounted about at least one pivot axis relative to the first frame element, especially on the first frame element. For example, the building locking device is designed to pivot about only one pivot axis, around which the two frame elements can be pivoted relative to each other by means of a rotational displacement. In the case of a facade window, the pivoting can occur within the framework of a turn-opening or a tilt-opening mechanism; in the case of a roof window, within the framework of a top-hung or swing-opening mechanism. In another embodiment of the building locking device, the two frame elements are pivotably mounted relative to each other about several different pivot axes, namely about at least or exactly two pivot axes.
[0015] In a first variant, used particularly in facade windows, the pivot axes are angled relative to each other or are skewed. Preferably, the multiple pivot axes form an angle of approximately or exactly 90° with each other. One of the pivot axes serves as the rotation axis for turn-opening, and the other as the tilt axis for tilt-opening. Such a window can also be called a tilt-and-turn window. In a second variant, used for roof windows, the pivot axes are parallel and spaced apart from each other. One of the pivot axes can be called the tilt axis for turn-opening, and the other as the pivot axis for pivot-opening. A window whose frame elements can pivot around the two parallel pivot axes relative to one of them can be called a top-hung, top-hung window.
[0016] The frame element described in this document is preferably the second frame element and is therefore mounted so as to be displaceable relative to the first frame element, particularly on the first frame element. It comprises the multiple frame members that support the glazing. For this purpose, the glazing receptacle is formed in the frame members, in which the glazing is arranged. The glazing receptacle is bounded by the glass support surface in a direction also referred to as the first direction. The first direction is preferably perpendicular to the glazing or a glass surface of the glazing, pointing from the interior towards the exterior environment and vice versa.In the first direction, the glazing has a thickness that is smaller than the dimensions in a second direction perpendicular to the first direction, and smaller than the dimensions in a third direction perpendicular to both the first and second directions.
[0017] The second and third directions each lie entirely within an imaginary plane parallel to the glazing or glass surface, respectively. The dimensions of the glazing in the second and third directions can be described, for example, as its width and height. The glass bearing surface is preferably continuous, meaning it is located on each of the frame members of the frame element. Accordingly, the glass bearing surface completely and continuously surrounds an opening defined by the frame element in the circumferential direction with respect to the first direction. In particular, each frame member has a portion of the glass bearing surface, and these portions are seamlessly connected.
[0018] During the assembly of the frame element, the glazing is placed onto the glass support surface so that it is supported by it, particularly in the circumferential direction, completely and continuously. Glazing beads are arranged and attached to the frame members opposite the glass support surface. Specifically, one such glazing bead is arranged on each of several frame members. The glazing beads serve, among other things, to hold the glazing against the frame members. For example, the glazing beads press the glazing towards the frame members and hold it against the glass support surface.
[0019] Viewed in cross-section through each of the frame members, the glazing is held between the glass support surface of the respective frame member and the glazing bead attached to that frame member. Here, it rests against the glass support surface; in particular, when the frame element or building closure device is properly installed, it is forced towards the glass support surface by the force of gravity. The glazing bead also prevents the glazing from lifting off the glass support surface by bearing directly or at least indirectly against the glazing. This indirect bearing is achieved, for example, by sealing lips that extend from the glazing beads and rest against the glazing. Each glazing bead has such a sealing lip.
[0020] It may be intended that the glazing beads are designed and intended solely for securing the glazing to the frame members. However, this results in a relatively flexible connection between the glazing and the frame members, so the overall rigidity of the frame element is comparatively low. Furthermore, the glazing must be connected to the frame members early in the manufacturing process, which can cause mechanical stresses within the glazing during manufacturing steps carried out after the glazing has been mounted to the frame members. For this reason, it is recommended that the glazing be secured in the glazing receptacle using adhesive and / or sealant.The adhesive and / or sealant can be any substance that is fundamentally suitable for creating a material-bonded connection between the glazing and the frame members, in particular a flexible and / or fluid-tight connection.
[0021] For example, silicone or a silicone mixture is used as an adhesive and / or sealant. This has the advantage that, firstly, the glazing is held to the frame members with minimal stress, and temperature-related differences in expansion between the frame members and the glazing are compensated for. Secondly, the connection is sufficiently rigid to utilize the mechanical strength of the glazing to stiffen the frame members. Accordingly, a high-strength frame element is achieved with minimal material usage for the frame members. Furthermore, the adhesive and / or sealant ensures that the glazing is fluid-tightly bonded to the frame members, preventing any fluid, especially water, from the outside environment, from penetrating between the glazing and the frame members. Consequently, the frame element is extremely weather-resistant.
[0022] The described properties are achieved primarily through the specific arrangement of the adhesive and / or sealant. This is applied between the glazing and the side walls of the frame members. The side walls define the frame members in a direction further away from the direction already mentioned. This further direction is preferably perpendicular to the direction already mentioned. Additionally, it is preferably perpendicular to a longitudinal center axis of the respective frame member and / or preferably runs parallel to the glass surface or parallel to the imaginary plane that completely encompasses the second and third directions mentioned above. The glazing is thus installed in the glazing receptacle in such a way that it is supported by the glass bearing surface but is spaced apart from the side walls of the frame members.
[0023] This creates a gap or space into which the adhesive and / or sealant is applied, particularly before the glazing beads are attached to the frame members. This means that the glazing is first inserted into the glazing receptacle and then secured using the adhesive and / or sealant. The glazing beads are then attached to the frame members in such a way that they overlap the adhesive and / or sealant. Preferably, the glazing beads are positioned at a distance from the adhesive and / or sealant, so the glazing is held separately to the frame members by the adhesive and / or sealant and the glazing beads. This method has the advantage that further processing of the frame element is possible relatively quickly, as this can be done even before the adhesive and / or sealant has fully cured, because the glazing is additionally held by the glazing beads.
[0024] Preferably, the adhesive and / or sealant is selected such that it holds the glazing to the frame members during normal use of the frame element, even without the glazing beads. The glazing beads, in this respect, merely provide additional security and serve, in particular, to hold the glazing to the frame members during the manufacturing of the frame element, as long as the adhesive and / or sealant has not yet fully cured. For example, the glazing beads are attached to the frame members when the adhesive and / or sealant has cured to at most 40%, at most 60%, or at most 80%, i.e., when it has a strength that is at most 40%, at most 60%, or at most 80% of its final strength or its maximum strength over the entire service life of the frame element. This achieves the advantages already mentioned.
[0025] A further development of the invention provides that the adhesive and / or sealant is spaced apart from the glazing beads. In particular, it is not intended that the glazing beads come into contact with the adhesive and / or sealant when they are attached to the frame members, so that the glazing beads are subsequently bonded to the frame members by the adhesive and / or sealant. Rather, the glazing beads are to be attached to the frame members, or be attachable, reversibly. They essentially serve to hold the glazing to the frame members until the adhesive and / or sealant has sufficiently cured, and subsequently to protect the adhesive and / or sealant from environmental influences. Accordingly, sufficient strength of the adhesive and / or sealant is permanently ensured.
[0026] A further development of the invention provides that the adhesive and / or sealant is arranged in a gap between the glazing and the side walls, which is bounded by a limiting lip extending from the side wall and bearing against the glazing. The gap between the glazing and the side walls has already been mentioned. For example, the gap has dimensions of at least 3 mm, at least 5 mm, or at least 7 mm in the wider direction. This gap compensates for manufacturing tolerances of the glazing and the frame members. The adhesive and / or sealant is applied to the gap during the assembly of the frame element, specifically after the glazing has been inserted into the glazing receptacle, and in particular after the glazing has been pressed against the glass bearing surface.
[0027] To ensure uniform application of the adhesive and / or sealant, and in particular to avoid uneven distribution, the gap is limited by a limiting lip, especially in the first direction. Preferably, one of several such limiting lips is arranged on each of the frame members. The limiting lip extends from the respective side wall and rests against the glazing. The limiting lip is preferably made of a material different from that of the frame members, in particular a flexible material. For example, it is injection-molded onto the respective frame members. With such a design of the frame element, the advantages already described are achieved.
[0028] A further development of the invention provides that the glass support surface is provided with an adhesive layer, so that the glazing is bonded to the frame members even apart from the adhesive and / or sealant. The adhesive layer is located between the glazing and the glass support surface, bonding the glazing to the glass support surface or the frame members. Accordingly, the glazing is bonded to the frame members at several spaced-apart points, namely by means of the adhesive layer and the adhesive and / or sealant. The adhesive layer serves in particular to hold the glazing in the glazing receptacle or on the glass support surface until the adhesive and / or sealant has sufficiently cured.Firstly, the adhesive layer ensures a tolerance compensation for manufacturing tolerances of the glazing and frame members, and secondly, it seals the glazing and the frame members against each other, reliably preventing moisture from penetrating the gap, especially from the interior.
[0029] A further development of the invention provides that the glazing beads have mounting lugs which are arranged in lug grooves of the frame members and fastened to the frame members by means of screws. Each glazing bead has a base body from which one of the mounting lugs extends. The respective mounting lug extends into one of the lug grooves of the frame members and is fastened therein by means of one of the screws. The lug grooves extend in the direction of the longitudinal center axes of the frame members; thus, each frame member has a longitudinal center axis in the direction of which one of the lug grooves extends. In particular, the respective lug groove has its largest dimensions in the direction of the corresponding longitudinal center axis.
[0030] Each of the mounting grooves preferably has an opening through which it connects to the glazing receptacle. The opening is bounded on opposite sides by webs of the respective frame member, against which the base of the respective glazing bead preferably rests to support the glazing bead against the frame member. Each mounting web is attached to the respective frame member by one of the screws. A screw connection is understood to be a screw connection with any number of screws. The screw connection can consist of just one screw or several screws. The mounting webs engaging in the mounting grooves and the screws ensure that the glazing beads are reliably held to the frame members.
[0031] A further development of the invention provides that the screw connections each have several screws spaced apart in one direction by a distance of at most 25%, at most 20%, or at most 15% of the total extent of the respective glazing bead in that same direction. This ultimately means that each glazing bead is attached to the respective frame member by means of several screws. The screws are preferably arranged evenly distributed along the frame member. In any case, they are spaced relatively close together, so that each glazing bead is rigidly connected to the respective frame member at several points. This means that the glazing beads contribute to the rigidity of the frame members, allowing the frame members themselves to be manufactured with less rigidity and thus using less material.
[0032] A further development of the invention provides that sealing lips are arranged on the glazing beads, bearing against the glazing at a distance from the adhesive and / or sealant. The sealing lips consist, for example, of a sealing material that differs from the material of a base body of the glazing beads. Preferably, the sealing lips are injection-molded onto the base body. The sealing lips serve to seal the frame element against the external environment, in particular to seal the gap to the external environment. The sealing lips are arranged in such a way that they protect the adhesive and / or sealant from environmental influences, thus ensuring a high fatigue strength of the frame element.
[0033] A further development of the invention provides that the glazing beads are made of a weather-resistant plastic and / or composite material. The glazing beads are arranged on the outside of the frame element, meaning they face the outside environment after the building locking device has been properly installed. Accordingly, they are exposed to environmental influences and weather conditions. To prevent negative effects of these environmental influences on the glazing beads, they are made of weather-resistant plastic and / or a weather-resistant composite material.
[0034] Polyvinyl chloride (PVC) is one example of a plastic used. The composite material consists of a matrix and a reinforcing material embedded within the matrix. This reinforcing material is, for example, a fiber material, specifically one containing reinforcing fibers such as glass fibers, carbon fibers, ceramic fibers, aramid fibers, or metal fibers. The reinforcing fibers are embedded in the matrix and serve to increase the strength of the composite material. If the composite material contains reinforcing fibers, it can also be called a fiber-reinforced composite. The use of this material, particularly the composite material, further increases the strength of the frame element, meaning that the glazing beads contribute significantly to the overall strength of the frame. This allows the frame members to be manufactured with less material.
[0035] A further development of the invention provides that at least one of the glazing beads extends in the direction of its longitudinal center axis beyond the frame member to which it is attached, in particular extending beyond a cover of another frame member. The glazing bead has its largest dimensions in the direction of its longitudinal center axis. It projects axially beyond the frame member with respect to its longitudinal center axis, thus projecting beyond it. It is possible for the dimensions of the glazing bead in the axial direction to be at least equal to, or even larger than, the dimensions of the frame member in this direction. However, it is also possible for the dimensions of the glazing bead to be smaller than those of the frame member, but for the glazing bead to be offset from the frame member.
[0036] The frame member is preferably a lateral longitudinal member that defines the transverse boundary of the glazing receptacle. The other frame member adjoins this frame member; for example, the other frame member serves as the lower transverse member. The cover is arranged on the other frame member, and in particular, the cover completely overlaps the other frame member in at least one direction. Specifically, in cross-section, the cover extends from the glazing and beyond the frame member, so that any liquid on the glazing is drawn off by gravity onto the cover and carried away from the frame element, for example, onto the roof. The glazing bead preferably extends onto the cover, ensuring reliable drainage of liquid from the glazing onto the cover.With the described design of the frame element, the frame rail can be made comparatively short, thus saving material.
[0037] A further development of the invention provides that at least one electrical conductor is arranged in an edge gap between the side walls and the glazing, which is bounded on opposite sides by the glass bearing surface and the adhesive and / or sealant. The electrical conductor serves, for example, to electrically connect a heating device for heating the glazing and / or a sensor of an alarm system, such as a glass breakage sensor or a vibration sensor, which is arranged on the glazing. By arranging the conductor in the edge gap, it is reliably protected from environmental influences and is also visually unobtrusive.
[0038] A further development of the invention provides that the glazing beads are present on several of the first frame members and at least one second frame member is free of glazing beads, so that the glazing beads are only partially arranged around the perimeter. The frame members can thus be subdivided into the several first frame members and the at least one second frame member.
[0039] For example, there are three first frame members and exactly one second frame member. The first frame members are, for example, longitudinal members and an upper transverse member, whereas the second frame member is a lower transverse member. The glazing beads are arranged on the first frame members, but not on the second frame member. Accordingly, the glazing beads are only partially arranged around the perimeter; in particular, they are arranged together in a U-shape. The second frame member is preferably provided with the aforementioned cover and is overlapped by the cover. The advantages already mentioned are achieved with such a design.
[0040] A further development of the invention provides that the glazing is a stepped glazing system comprising several glass panes that have different dimensions in at least one direction parallel to a glass surface of the glazing. The glazing is, for example, double glazing with two glass panes or triple glazing with three glass panes. Other numbers of glass panes are also possible. One of the glass panes is, for example, a laminated glass pane composed of several partial panes. The partial panes are preferably bonded together, in particular by adhesive bonding.
[0041] For example, the laminated glass pane is designed as a heating pane. For this purpose, an electrically conductive heating element is arranged between the panes. Preferably, a first pane is first provided with the heating element, in particular, the heating element is applied to the first pane in the form of a coating. Subsequently, the other second pane is connected to the first pane in such a way that the heating element is contained between the panes. This embeds the heating element in an adhesive located between the panes, thus reliably protecting it from environmental influences, especially moisture.
[0042] The glass panes are stepped, meaning they have different dimensions in at least one direction, and especially in exactly one direction. For example, the glass panes are flush with each other on three sides of the glazing, but on a fourth side, at least one of the glass panes protrudes beyond the others. It may be designed so that the protruding glass pane extends beyond the cover, ensuring reliable drainage of water from the glazing.
[0043] A further development of the invention provides that a first of the glass panes projects beyond at least one second frame member in a longitudinal direction of the glazing present when the building closure device is arranged as intended, and at most a second of the glass panes abuts the least second frame member in the same direction. The glazing thus overlaps the second frame member with the first glass pane, but is simultaneously supported by the second glass pane against it, namely not only in the first direction at the glass bearing surface, but also in a direction different from the first direction, in particular the longitudinal direction. The longitudinal direction is angled relative to the first direction, in particular it is perpendicular to it.This ensures that the glazing is reliably held to the frame element, especially against the influence of gravity on the glazing when the building locking device is arranged as intended.
[0044] The invention further relates to a method for manufacturing a frame element for a building locking device, in particular a frame element as described in this description, wherein the frame element has several frame members supporting glazing, in which a glazing receptacle of the frame element is formed, which is limited in one direction by a glass support surface, in particular a circumferential glass support surface, on which the glazing rests, wherein glazing beads are attached to the frame members on a side of the glazing opposite the glass support surface, so that the glazing is arranged between the glass support surface of the frame members and the glazing beads.It is intended that the glazing will be fixed in the glazing receptacle by means of an adhesive and / or sealant inserted between the glazing and the glazing receptacle, which limits the glazing in a further direction, and the side walls of the frame members.
[0045] The advantages of such a procedure or such a design of the frame element have already been mentioned. Both the frame element and the method for its manufacture can be further developed as explained in this description, and reference is made to these explanations in this regard.
[0046] The invention further relates to a building closure device for a building, comprising a first frame element and a second frame element that is displaceable relative to the first frame element, in particular a second frame element as described in this description, wherein the second frame element has several frame members supporting glazing, in which a glazing receptacle of the frame element is formed, which is limited in one direction by a glass support surface, in particular a circumferential glass support surface, on which the glazing rests, wherein glazing beads are attached to the frame members on a side of the glazing opposite the glass support surface, so that the glazing is arranged between the glass support surface of the frame members and the glazing beads.The design provides that the glazing is fixed in the glazing receptacle by means of an adhesive and / or sealant applied between the glazing and the glazing receptacle, which also defines the side walls of the frame members in a further direction. For further information regarding the advantages and possible beneficial developments, please refer to the explanations in this description.
[0047] The features and combinations of features described in the description, in particular those described in the following figure description and / or shown in the figures, are not only usable in the combinations specified, but also in other combinations or individually, without departing from the scope of the invention, in particular the scope of the claims. Thus, embodiments that are not explicitly shown or explained in the description and / or the figures, but which emerge from or can be derived from the explained embodiments, particularly within the scope of the claims, are also to be considered as encompassed by the invention.
[0048] The invention is explained in more detail below with reference to the exemplary embodiments shown in the drawing, without limiting the invention. The drawing shows: Figure 1 is a schematic representation of a building locking device for a building in the form of a roof window, Figure 2 is a schematic representation of an area of the building locking device, wherein a part of a frame element, in particular a frame member and a glazing bead attached to it, is shown, and Figure 3 is a schematic sectional view of the frame element of the building locking device.
[0049] The Figure 1Figure 1 schematically shows a section of a building locking device 1, namely a frame element 2 of the building locking device 1. The building locking device 1 is designed as a roof window or skylight, and frame element 2 is the sash frame of this skylight. Frame element 3 has several frame members 3, 4, 5, and 6, with frame members 3 and 5 being longitudinal members and frame members 4 and 6 being transverse members. Frame member 4 is an upper transverse member, and frame member 6 is a lower transverse member. Frame members 3, 4, 5, and 6 support glazing 7 of frame element 2. It can be seen that the glazing 7 is, purely by way of example, a stepped glazing. Accordingly, it has several panes of glass 8, 9, and 10, of which an outer pane 8 projects beyond panes 9 and 10 in one direction and thus extends over frame member 6.
[0050] The glazing 7 is held to the frame members 3, 4, and 5 by means of glazing beads 11, 12, and 13. Glazing bead 11 is attached to frame member 3, glazing bead 12 to frame member 4, and glazing bead 13 to frame member 5, each by means of a screw 14, each screw 14 containing several screws 15. Only a few of the screws 15 are shown as examples. The glazing beads 11 and 13 extend beyond the frame members 3 and 5, respectively, so that they reach over the frame member 6 or a cover 16 that overlaps it. This ensures that liquid is reliably channeled from the glazing 7 to the frame member 6.
[0051] The Figure 2Figure 1 shows a detailed view of an area of the building locking device 1, namely the frame members 5 and 6 of the frame element 2. It can be seen that the glazing bead 13 projects beyond the frame member 5 and overlaps the cover 16 of the frame member 6. Preferably, it engages in a recess 17, which serves to guide a liquid that is discharged via the glazing bead 13 towards the frame member 6.
[0052] The Figure 3Figure 1 shows a schematic sectional view of the building locking device 1, in which the frame element 2 with its glazing 7 is again essentially visible. Additionally, a cover plate 18 is shown, which is located on another frame element, in particular on a frame member. It can be seen that the cover plate 18 overlaps the glazing bead 11 and thereby forms a labyrinth seal 19 together with the glazing bead 11. The frame member 3 has a hollow profile, in particular a plastic hollow profile. A reinforcement 21 is arranged in a cavity 20 of the hollow profile. This serves to stiffen the frame member 3.
[0053] The frame member 3 has a glazing receptacle 22 in which the glazing 7 is arranged. The glazing receptacle 22 is bounded in a first direction by a glass support surface 23. This surface preferably has an adhesive layer 24, which forms a positive connection between the glazing 7 and the frame member 3. On its side opposite the glass support surface 23 in the first direction, the glazing receptacle 22 is bounded by the glazing bead 11. The glazing bead 11 has a sealing lip 24 that seals against the glazing 7 to prevent moisture from penetrating the frame element 2.
[0054] In a second direction perpendicular to the first direction, the glazing receptacle 22 is bounded by a side wall 26 of the frame member 3. The glazing 7 is spaced apart from the side wall 26 in the second direction, creating a gap 27 between them. An adhesive and / or sealant 28 is applied to this gap 27, bonding the glazing 7 to the side wall 26. The adhesive and / or sealant 28 preferably consists of silicone or at least contains silicone. To prevent the adhesive and / or sealant 28 from penetrating too far into the gap 27, a limiting lip 29 is arranged in the gap 27. This lip preferably extends from the frame member 3 and rests against the glazing 7, thus interrupting the gap 27.
[0055] The adhesive and / or sealant 28 is covered by the glazing bead 11, so that it is separated from the external environment by means of the sealing lips 25.
