Darüber hinaus bezieht sich die vorliegende Erfindung auf eine Verbindung zwischen einem Rahmenprofil und einem Pfosten-, Kämpfer- oder Sprossenprofil, wobei die Verbindung ein Rahmenprofil, ein Pfosten-, Kämpfer- oder Sprossenprofil und einen erfindungsgemäßen Verbinder.The present invention thus relates to a connector for the mechanical connection of a frame profile with a mullion, transom or transom profile in window and door construction, the connector having a connecting plate for resting on the frame profile and at least one bearing element for bearing on a wall of the mullion -, fighter or rung profile, wherein the connector is characterized according to the invention in that the at least one contact element is designed to be movable about an axis. In addition, the present invention relates to a connection between a frame profile and a mullion, transom or transom profile, the connection being a frame profile, a post, transom or transom profile and a connector according to the invention.
Die Drehachsen der Anlageelemente liegen dabei bevorzugt in der Ebene der Verbindungsplatte. Wenn ein erfindungsgemäßer Verbinder mehr als eine Drehachse aufweist, um die jeweils ein Anlageelement gedreht werden kann, sind diese Drehachse bevorzugt parallel zueinander. Bei einem L-förmigen Querschnitt des Anlageelement liegt die Drehachse, um die dieses Anlageelement gedreht werden kann, vorzugsweise in der Schnitt gerade der Schenkel.The axes of rotation of the contact elements preferably lie in the plane of the connecting plate. If a connector according to the invention has more than one axis of rotation about which a contact element can be rotated, these axes of rotation are preferably parallel to one another. In the case of an L-shaped cross section of the contact element, the axis of rotation about which this contact element can be rotated lies preferably in the straight section of the leg.
In besonders bevorzugten Ausführungsformen der vorliegenden Erfindung weist der erfindungsgemäße Verbinder zwei Anlageelemente auf, die jeweils um eine Achse beweglich ausgebildet sind. Besonders bevorzugt sind diese Anlageelemente derart angeordnet, dass sie in der fertigen erfindungsgemäßen Verbindung an zwei einander gegenüberliegenden Wänden des Pfosten-, Kämpfer- oder Sprossenprofils anliegen.In particularly preferred embodiments of the present invention, the connector according to the invention has two contact elements, which are each designed to be movable about an axis. These contact elements are particularly preferably arranged in such a way that, in the finished connection according to the invention, they rest against two opposing walls of the mullion, transom or transom profile.
In Bezug auf den erfindungsgemäßen Verbinder kann es sich als vorteilhaft erweisen, wenn das mindestens eine Anlageelement einen im wesentlichen L-förmigen Querschnitt aufweist. Auf diese Weise lassen sich die Anlageelemente besonders leicht aufrichten, wenn ein Pfosten-, Kämpfer- oder Sprossenprofil während des Erzeugens der erfindungsgemäßen Verbindung auf sie gedrückt wird. In diesem Zusammenhang kann es besonders bevorzugt sein, wenn der L-förmige Querschnitt des Anlageelements/der Anlageelemente einen großen Schenkel und einem im Wesentlichen senkrecht dazu angeordneten kleinen Schenkel umfasst. Bei einem derartigen L-förmige Querschnitt lässt sich der kleine Schenkel leicht in einer entsprechenden Ausnehmung in der Verbindungsplatte des erfindungsgemäßen Verbinders aufnehmen. Dadurch wird die Stabilität der mit dem erfindungsgemäßen Verbinder gebildeten Verbindung erhöht. Daher ist es in diesem Zusammenhang besonders bevorzugt, wenn die Verbindungsplatte Ausnehmungen zur Aufnahme der kleinen Schenkel aufweist. So entspricht die Anzahl der Ausnehmungen in der Verbindungsplatte bevorzugt der Anzahl der in dem Verbinder vorhandenen Anlageelemente.With regard to the connector according to the invention, it can prove to be advantageous if the at least one contact element has an essentially L-shaped cross section. In this way, the contact elements can be erected particularly easily if a post, transom or rung profile is pressed onto them during the creation of the connection according to the invention. In this context, it can be particularly preferred if the L-shaped cross section of the bearing element/elements comprises a large leg and a small leg arranged essentially perpendicular thereto. With such an L-shaped cross section, the small leg can easily be accommodated in a corresponding recess in the connecting plate of the connector according to the invention. This increases the stability of the connection formed with the connector according to the invention. It is therefore particularly preferred in this connection if the connecting plate has recesses for receiving the small legs. The number of recesses in the connecting plate preferably corresponds to the number of contact elements present in the connector.
Zusätzlich oder alternativ dazu kann es auch günstig sein, wenn der erfindungsgemäße Verbinder weiter mindestens ein Einbringelement zum Einbringen in eine Hohlkammer des Rahmenprofils umfasst. In eine Hohlkammer, vorzugsweise in die Armierungskammer, des Rahmenprofils eingebracht erhöht ein derartiges Einbringelement die Stabilität der einen solchen Verbinder umfassenden erfindungsgemäßen Verbindung beträchtlich. Daher wird ein derartiges Einbringelement oft auch als Stützkörper bezeichnet. Dabei kann es besonders hilfreich sein, wenn das Einbringelement mindestens ein Überführungselement zum erleichterten Überführen des Pfosten-, Kämpfer- oder Sprossenprofils über das Einbringelement umfasst. Beim Verbinden von Pfosten-, Kämpfer- oder Sprossenprofil mit dem Rahmenprofil wird der Verbinder an dem Rahmenprofil fixiert und der Pfosten, der Kämpfer oder die Sprosse durch Aufschieben auf das Einbringelement bzw. auf den Stützkörper in den Rahmen eingebracht. Dazu ist kann es notwendig werden, dass der aus den Rahmenprofilen gebildete Rahmen auseinandergedrückt werden muss, was insbesondere bei kleinen Fenstergrößen aufwendig ist und Spreizhilfsmittel zum Aufspreizen des Rahmens erfordert. Ein derartiges Überführungselement am Einbringelement bzw. am Stützkörper vereinfacht das Überführen des Pfosten-, Kämpfer- oder Sprossenprofils über das Einbringelement signifikant. Das abgelängte Stück des Pfosten-, Kämpfer- oder Sprossenprofils lässt sich dann mithilfe des Überführungselements leicht über den erfindungsgemäßen Verbinder bewegen, sodass es eines Aufspreizens des Rahmens, in den der Pfosten, der Kämpfer oder die Sprosse eingesetzt werden soll, nicht mehr bedarf. Dabei ist es besonders hilfreich, wenn das Überführungselement als schiefe Ebene oder Einführungsschräge ausgebildet ist. Eine derartige Ausgestaltung des Überführungselements als schiefe Ebene oder Einführungsschräge am erfindungsgemäßen Verbinder lässt sich besonders leicht realisieren. Darüber hinaus wird der Zweck des Überführungselements, nämlich das hilfsmittelfreie Einbringen eines Pfostens, eines Kämpfers oder einer Sprosse in einen Rahmen, besonders stark erleichtert.In addition or as an alternative to this, it can also be favorable if the connector according to the invention further comprises at least one insertion element for insertion into a hollow chamber of the frame profile. Inserted into a hollow chamber, preferably into the reinforcement chamber, of the frame profile, such an insertion element considerably increases the stability of the connection according to the invention comprising such a connector. Such an insertion element is therefore often also referred to as a support body. It can be particularly helpful here if the insertion element comprises at least one transfer element for easier transfer of the mullion, transom or transom profile via the insertion element. When connecting the post, transom or transom profile to the frame profile, the connector is fixed to the frame profile and the post, transom or transom is inserted into the frame by sliding it onto the insertion element or onto the support body. For this purpose, it may be necessary for the frame formed from the frame profiles to be pressed apart, which is expensive, particularly in the case of small window sizes, and requires spreading aids for spreading the frame open. Such a transfer element on the insertion element or on the support body significantly simplifies the transfer of the post, transom or transom profile via the insertion element. The cut-to-length piece of the post, fighter or rung profile can then be easily moved over the connector according to the invention using the transfer element, so that the frame into which the post, fighter or rung is to be inserted no longer needs to be spread apart. It is special helpful if the transfer element is designed as an inclined plane or lead-in slope. Such a configuration of the transfer element as an inclined plane or insertion bevel on the connector according to the invention can be implemented particularly easily. In addition, the purpose of the transfer element, namely the insertion of a post, a transom or a rung into a frame without the use of tools, is made particularly easy.
Es kann auch hilfreich sein, wenn die dem mindestens einem Überführungselement gegenüberliegende Seite des Einbringelements zumindest abschnittsweise im Wesentlichen parallel zu einer Wand der Hohlkammer des Rahmenprofils verläuft, in die das Einbringelement eingebracht werden soll. Dadurch kann das Stück des Pfosten-, Kämpfer- oder Sprossenprofils nach dem Überführen über das Einbringenelement des erfindungsgemäßen Verbinders das Einbringelement hinterrasten. Dies trägt erheblich zur Stabilität der erfindungsgemäßen Verbindung bei. Darüber hinaus ist eine solche erfindungsgemäße Verbindung auch vor dem Verspannen, insbesondere dem Verschrauben, zunächst stabil.It can also be helpful if the side of the insertion element opposite the at least one transfer element runs, at least in sections, essentially parallel to a wall of the hollow chamber of the frame profile into which the insertion element is to be inserted. As a result, the piece of the post, transom or transom profile can snap behind the insertion element after it has been transferred via the insertion element of the connector according to the invention. This contributes significantly to the stability of the compound according to the invention. In addition, such a connection according to the invention is initially stable even before bracing, in particular screwing.
In bevorzugten Ausführungsformen des erfindungsgemäßen Verbinders liegt die Höhe des Eindringelements über der Verbindungsplatte im Bereich von 5 % bis 40 % der Breite der Hohlkammer des Rahmenprofils in die das Eindringelement eindringt. Insbesondere liegt die Höhe des Eindringelements über der Verbindungsplatte im Bereich von 10 % bis 25 % der Breite der Hohlkammer des Rahmenprofils in die das Eindringelement eindringt. Eine derart flache Bauform des Eindringelements vereinfacht die Montage einer erfindungsgemäßen Verbindung weiter, weil das Überführen des in den Rahmen einzusetzenden Profilstücks über das Eindringelement leicht erfolgen kann.In preferred embodiments of the connector according to the invention, the height of the penetrating element above the connection plate is in the range of 5% to 40% of the width of the hollow chamber of the frame profile into which the penetrating element penetrates. In particular, the height of the penetrating element above the connecting plate is in the range of 10% to 25% of the width of the hollow chamber of the frame profile into which the penetrating element penetrates. Such a flat design of the penetrating element further simplifies the assembly of a connection according to the invention, because the profile piece to be inserted into the frame can be easily transferred via the penetrating element.
Zusätzlich oder alternativ dazu kann es von Vorteil sein, wenn die Verbindungsplatte und/oder das Eindringenelement zusätzlich mindestens eine Verspannbohrung aufweist, in die eine Spannschraube zur Verspannung der Verbindungsplatte mit dem Rahmenprofil einschraubbar ist. Dies gewährleistet eine besonders stabile Verbindung des erfindungsgemäßen Verbinders zum Rahmenprofil.In addition or as an alternative to this, it can be advantageous if the connecting plate and/or the penetrating element also has at least one bracing hole into which a clamping screw for bracing the connecting plate with the frame profile can be screwed. This ensures a particularly stable connection of the connector according to the invention to the frame profile.
Gemäß einer bevorzugten Ausführungsform der vorliegenden Erfindung ist der erfindungsgemäße Verbinder ein Bauteil aus Aluminium, Edelstahl, einer Aluminium-Druckgusslegierung, einer Zink-Druckgusslegierung, einer Aluminium-Zink-Druckgusslegierung, Acrylnitril-Styrol-Acrylester (ASA), Polyamid (PA), Polyoxymethylen (POM) oder faserverstärkten Polymeren, insbesondere glasfaserverstärkten Polymeren, sowie Gemischen der vorgenannten Materialien. Dabei können insbesondere verschiedene Abschnitte oder Bereiche des erfindungsgemäßen Verbinders aus unterschiedlichen Materialien hergestellt sein. Die genannten Materialien haben sich als besonders geeignet erwiesen, wobei sich insbesondere um ein Bauteil aus eine Aluminium-Zink-Druckgusslegierung als besonders widerstandsfähig erwiesen hat. Insbesondere ist die Verbindungsplatte des erfindungsgemäßen Verbinders aus Metall, vorzugsweise aus Zink oder einer Zink-Druckgusslegierung ausgebildet.According to a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the connector according to the invention is a component made of aluminum, stainless steel, an aluminum die-cast alloy, a zinc die-cast alloy, an aluminum-zinc die-cast alloy, acrylonitrile-styrene-acrylic ester (ASA), polyamide (PA), polyoxymethylene (POM) or fiber-reinforced polymers, in particular glass fiber-reinforced polymers, and mixtures of the aforementioned Materials. In particular, different sections or areas of the connector according to the invention can be made of different materials. The materials mentioned have proven to be particularly suitable, with a component made of an aluminum-zinc die-cast alloy in particular having proven to be particularly resistant. In particular, the connecting plate of the connector according to the invention is made of metal, preferably made of zinc or a die-cast zinc alloy.
Es kann sich des Weiteren als vorteilhaft erweisen, wenn das Einbringelement bzw. der Stützkörper an der dem Rahmenprofil zugewandten Seite mindestens eine von ihr wegragende Erhebung aufweist. Dadurch kann erreicht werden, dass bei Erzeugung der Verbindung zwischen Verbinder und Rahmenprofil die Erhebungen in das Rahmenprofil gedrückt werden und dadurch zusätzlich zur Flächenverbindung zwischen Verbinder und Rahmenprofil eine formschlüssige Verbindung erzielt wird. Dabei kann es von besonderem Vorteil sein, wenn die Erhebung kegelförmig aus dem Einbringelement herausragt. Durch die Kegelform der Erhebung wird das Eindringen der Erhebung in das Rahmenprofil gefördert. Diesbezüglich kann es sich als besonders günstig erweisen, wenn der Werkstoff des Einbringelements der dem Rahmenprofil zugewandten Seite, die die aus dem Einbringelement herausragenden Erhebungen aufweist, aus einem härteren Werkstoff besteht als der Werkstoff des Rahmenprofils. Dadurch wird das Eindringen der Erhebungen in das Rahmenprofil und damit der Formschluss zwischen Verbinder und Rahmenprofil weiter gefördert.Furthermore, it can prove to be advantageous if the insertion element or the supporting body has at least one elevation protruding from it on the side facing the frame profile. In this way it can be achieved that when the connection between connector and frame profile is created, the elevations are pressed into the frame profile and a form-fitting connection is thereby achieved in addition to the surface connection between connector and frame profile. It can be of particular advantage if the elevation protrudes conically from the insertion element. The penetration of the elevation into the frame profile is promoted by the conical shape of the elevation. In this regard, it can prove to be particularly favorable if the material of the insertion element on the side facing the frame profile, which has the elevations protruding from the insertion element, consists of a harder material than the material of the frame profile. This further promotes the penetration of the elevations into the frame profile and thus the form fit between the connector and the frame profile.
Es kann hilfreich sein, wenn die Verbindungsplatte des erfindungsgemäßen Verbinders an ihrer dem einbringen elementabgewandten Seite ein Dichtungselement umfasst. Dieses Dichtungselement kann vorzugsweise als aufgeklebtes Dichtkissen, insbesondere aus aus EPDM-Zellkautschuk oder PE, ausgebildet sein. Alternativ kann auch ein umspritztes TPE zur Abdichtung eingesetzt werden.It can be helpful if the connecting plate of the connector according to the invention comprises a sealing element on its side facing away from the inserting element. This sealing element can preferably be designed as a glued-on sealing cushion, in particular made of EPDM cellular rubber or PE. Alternatively, an overmoulded TPE can also be used for sealing.
In Bezug auf die erfindungsgemäße Verbindung kann es günstig sein, wenn das Pfosten-, Kämpfer- oder Sprossenprofil an seiner vor dem Einsetzen des Pfosten-, Kämpfer- oder Sprossenprofils in einen aus dem Rahmenprofil gebildeten Rahmen dem Verbinder zugewandten Seite eine Einbringhilfe umfasst. Auch dies erleichtert die Herstellung der erfindungsgemäßen Verbindung beträchtlich, weil das Pfosten-, Kämpfer- oder Sprossenprofil noch leichter über das Einbringelement geführt werden kann. Dabei kann es sich als nützlich erweisen, wenn die Einbringhilfe als Abflachung oder Abrundung einer Profilkante des Pfosten-, Kämpfer- oder Sprossenprofils ausgebildet ist.With regard to the connection according to the invention, it can be advantageous if the mullion, transom or sash profile comprises an insertion aid on its side facing the connector before the insertion of the mullion, transom or transom profile into a frame formed from the frame profile. This also considerably facilitates the production of the connection according to the invention, because the post, impost or rung profile can be guided even more easily over the insertion element. This can come in handy prove if the insertion aid is designed as a flattening or rounding of a profile edge of the mullion, transom or transom profile.
Es kann auch hilfreich sein, wenn die Verbindung weiter Spannelemente, insbesondere Schrauben, zur Verbindung des Rahmenprofils sowie des Pfosten-, Kämpfer- oder Sprossenprofils mit dem Verbinder umfasst. Derartige Spannelemente dienen zur endgültigen Fixierung der erfindungsgemäßen Verbindung.It can also be helpful if the connection includes additional tensioning elements, in particular screws, for connecting the frame profile and the post, transom or transom profile to the connector. Such clamping elements are used for the final fixation of the connection according to the invention.
Darüber hinaus kann es von Vorteil sein, wenn das mindestens eine Anlageelement des erfindungsgemäßen Verbinders mindestens eine Erhöhung, umfasst, die jeweils in eine entsprechende Ausnehmung, insbesondere eine Bohrung, des Pfosten-, Kämpfer- oder Sprossenprofil eingreift. Auf diese Weise wird das Pfosten-, Kämpfer- oder Sprossenprofil bei der Erzeugung der erfindungsgemäßen Verbindung leicht in seine richtige Position am Rahmenprofil geführt. In besonders bevorzugten Ausführungsformen der erfindungsgemäßen Verbindung ist die Erhöhung in Form eines Doms ausgebildet. Die Erhöhung bzw. der Dom ist dabei bevorzugt am großen Schenkel der L-förmigen Anlageelemente ausgebildet.In addition, it can be advantageous if the at least one contact element of the connector according to the invention comprises at least one elevation, which engages in a corresponding recess, in particular a bore, of the post, transom or transom profile. In this way, the post, transom or rung profile is easily guided into its correct position on the frame profile when creating the connection according to the invention. In particularly preferred embodiments of the connection according to the invention, the elevation is in the form of a dome. The elevation or dome is preferably formed on the large leg of the L-shaped contact elements.
Darüber hinaus gelten die in Bezug auf den erfindungsgemäßen Verbinder erläuterten Merkmale und Vorteile auch für die erfindungsgemäße Verbindung entsprechend.In addition, the features and advantages explained in relation to the connector according to the invention also apply correspondingly to the connection according to the invention.
Bevorzugt handelt es sich bei dem Rahmenprofil um ein mehrere Hohlkammern umfassendes Hohlkammerprofil, insbesondere um ein mehrere Hohlkammern umfassendes Kunststoff-Hohlprofilkammerprofil und damit bei einem Fenster um ein Kunststofffenster und bei eine Tür um eine Kunststofftür.The frame profile is preferably a hollow chamber profile comprising several hollow chambers, in particular a plastic hollow profile chamber profile comprising several hollow chambers and thus a plastic window in the case of a window and a plastic door in the case of a door.
Der erfindungsgemäße Verbinder, die erfindungsgemäße Verbindung sowie einzelne Teile davon können auch zeilenweise oder schichtweise unter Verwendung eines zeilenaufbauenden oder schichtaufbauenden Fertigungsverfahrens (z. B. 3D-Druck) hergestellt werden, bevorzugt ist jedoch die Herstellung des erfindungsgemäßen Verbinders mittels Spritzguss und der an der erfindungsgemäßen Verbindung weiter beteiligten Profile mittels Extrusion.The connector according to the invention, the connection according to the invention and individual parts thereof can also be produced line by line or in layers using a line-building or layer-building manufacturing process (e.g. 3D printing), but preference is given to the production of the connector according to the invention by means of injection molding and to the according to the invention Connection further involved profiles by means of extrusion.
