Definitions

  • the invention relates to a sealing profile strip made of elastic material, with at least one sealing lip, a root area from which the sealing lip springs and which forms a first sealing point formed as a rib, further with a foot and two legs which are at least approximately at right angles to one another on their common Form a further sealing point and are connected to the remaining cross section of the sealing profile strip by means of constrictions.
  • Windows for buildings usually consist of several, usually two or three, adjacent window panes (double or triple glazing), a frame enclosing these panes and an intermediate sealing profile strip, which surrounds the panes on all sides and creates the seal between them and the frame.
  • this bar In order for this bar to be able to fulfill its task, it must lie exactly on the panes.
  • the sealing profile strip which is usually produced as an endless profile by extrusion, cannot simply be bent around these corners. The expansion of the radially outer zones and the compression of the radially inner zones would cause it to warp and thus lose its sealing effect.
  • their production is relatively expensive.
  • the object of the invention is therefore to provide a sealing profile strip of such a cross section that it can be cut at the locations provided for this purpose, but that the areas of this cross section which are decisive for the sealing effect are retained throughout despite the bending of the sealing profile strip by 90 °.
  • Such a sealing profile strip is characterized according to the invention by the features of claim 1.
  • the bar is shown in its undeformed state.
  • a window frame 1 and the glass pane 2 to be sealed are also shown.
  • the strip must be pressed into the gap 3 in between, where it deforms accordingly.
  • the width of the joint 3, that is to say the distance between the pane 2 and the frame 1 can vary considerably from window to window as a result of tolerances in production.
  • the cross section of the sealing profile strip shows a first sealing lip 4, the tip 5 of which bears against the pane 2. Because it has to be relatively long because of the widely varying width of joint 3 and is therefore too elastic for application under pressure, a mushroom-shaped head 6 is provided, which is formed from two opposing sealing lips 7, 8. The first sealing lip 4 can bear against the sealing lip 7 and is supported thereby. The force thus transmitted to the head 6 is absorbed by the other sealing lip 8, which is supported on the frame 1. This construction is known from the past.
  • Sealing lip 4 and head 6 have a common root area 9, which is very wide and therefore strong. At its lower end there is a foot 10, which is curved towards the pane 2 and, like the first sealing lip 4, also bears with its tip 11 against the pane 2 in the deformed state in order to achieve a further sealing effect.
  • the root region 9 is provided on its outer side with a projecting rib 12, which is also shown in the remaining figures with its upper edge 12a and lower edge 12b for reasons that can still be seen. Its tip 12c forms a sealing point with the frame 1.
  • the two sections 19a, 19b are connected to one another by an arc piece 19c. This arc piece 19c is essential; the two sections 19a, 19b must not be connected to one another in a straight line.
  • the width of the root area 9 is only insignificantly reduced, which would not be the case if the cavity 18 were exactly parallelogram-shaped.
  • the two legs 13, 14 form a type of rib 22 at their connection point, which like the rib 12 also forms a sealing point, but which bears against the pane 2. As can be seen, it forms at approximately the same height as the tip 12c of the rib 12, which acts as a sealing point. This condition has an influence on the position and arrangement of the two legs 13, 14.
  • the indentation 15 in particular moves obliquely upwards, while the indentation 17 moves very slightly downwards.
  • the leg 13 is also pulled obliquely upwards, while the leg 14 practically only pivots about the indentation 17.
  • the leg 13 is shorter than the leg 14, these movements have the result that the connection of the two legs and thus the sealing point 22 moves practically horizontally towards the sealing point 12, that is to say remains at the same height.
  • the shape of the side 19 of the root area 9 also contributes to this.
  • the section 19a can be regarded as a continuation of the underside of the sealing lip 4.
  • the sealing point 22 Due to its horizontal movement, the sealing point 22 always remains within a hatched area 23 with a dashed border, which can also be referred to as a neutral zone in view of the bend to be mentioned and its position approximately in the middle of the cross section. Any other shape of the cavity 18 would have the consequence that the sealing point 22 would move up or down and thus leave this narrowly defined area 23. As can be seen, the region 23 forms approximately in the middle of the entire cross section.
  • the upper cut 24 is made V-shaped, in such a way that the two cut surfaces 24a, 24b are exactly at 90 ° to each other. Each cut surface is therefore at 45 ° to the longitudinal axis of the bar.
  • the lower cut is made as a narrow groove 25. Both cuts are made so deep that they extend to the upper or lower edge of the area or the neutral zone 23. Now the bar can be bent by 90 ° according to Figure 3. The two cut surfaces of the upper cut come to lie on one another, while the groove 25, as indicated by the arrow in FIG. 3, is widened to a right-angled corner.
  • the neutral zone 23 is maintained throughout and thus also the sealing effect at the sealing points 12 c and 22. Because the sealing point 22 moves almost horizontally, as mentioned, the zone 23 can be kept very narrow. This makes it possible to lay the cuts 24 and 25 very deep, which not only facilitates bending over, but also leads to the sealing profile strip fitting snugly against the frame 1 and the pane 2 even in the areas immediately adjacent to the cuts.
  • This sealing profile strip can therefore be used from a roll; special measures for the formation of corners such as vulcanizing the cut pieces of the bar or the procurement of special corner pieces are therefore no longer necessary.
