Cable Support Profile With Defined Receptacles for Door Routing
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Cables used to operate electrically operated locks in doors and windows are often laid unprotected and in undefined positions within profile chambers, posing risks of damage during installation and lacking secure, efficient routing solutions.
Innovation Solution
A cable support profile with defined receptacles and a connecting web is introduced, allowing cables to be pre-assembled and securely routed, providing integrated cable management and improved mounting options, including thermal insulation benefits.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If cables are laid unprotected in the profile chamber, then installation is simple, but cables are at risk of damage and remain in undefined positions
Solution Approach 1:
The patent introduces a cable support profile as an intermediary component between the profile chamber and the cables. This support profile includes a rear wall with receptacles and a front wall that bears against the profile side, creating a protected pathway for cables. The connecting web between the walls provides structural support while the receptacles guide and protect the cables from damage during installation and use.
2Manufacturing precision
If cables are laid without defined routing, then installation is quick, but cable positioning is undefined and vulnerable to damage
Solution Approach 1:
The cable support profile is pre-configured with receptacles and structural elements during manufacturing. The rear wall with its receptacles is designed beforehand to receive and position cables in specific locations. The front wall is pre-formed to bear against the profile side, creating a ready-made cable pathway that simplifies installation while ensuring precise cable positioning.
3Strength
If screws are used for installation without cable protection, then mounting is secure, but severe damage to cables can occur
Solution Approach 1:
The cable support profile segments the profile chamber into distinct zones: a protected cable routing area defined by the rear wall with receptacles, and a structural support area provided by the connecting web and front wall. This segmentation allows screws to be used for secure mounting in areas away from the cable receptacles, while the cable-containing receptacles remain protected from screw penetration and associated damage.

AI summary
Cable support profile for use in a profile chamber of a profile of a door, a window or a frame with a rear wall and a front wall, wherein the front wall of the cable support profile is designed to be supported against a side of the profile facing a door or window opening and wherein at least one receptacle for at least one cable is arranged on the rear wall and the rear wall and front wall are connected by at least one connecting web.
