Abstract

The frame comprises hollow profile metal sections which areconnected by an insert connector (3) pressed into the butting ends of the sections. Holes (5) through the sections line up with holes (4) on one side of each hollow section and enable adhesive (6) to be injected into the joint to spread between the connector and the inner wall of the frame. The injection holes also take hollow stud fasteners (8) pressed into the holes. This holds the fitting for applying the adhesive. The connector can be a casting with the injection ducts embedded in the casting.

Description

Die Erfindung betrifft einen Rahmen für Fenster, Türen, Fassaden oder dergleichen, mit vorzugsweise aus Metall bestehenden Hohlprofilen sowie mit einem in die Hohlprofile greifenden Verbindungselement, insbesondere einem Eckverbinder, wobei das Verbindungselement für jedes der Hohlprofile wenigstens einen von der Rahmenaußenseite zur Rahmeninnenseite hin sich erstreckenden Kanal für einen zwischen das Verbindungselement und das Hohlprofil einzubringenden Kleber aufweist, wozu im Hohlprofil an der Rahmenaußenseite eine an den Kanal anschließende Einspritzöffnung für den Kleber vorgesehen ist, und wobei der Kanal in jedem der Schenkel des Verbindungselements in Form einer sich innerhalb und quer zur Längsrichtung des Schenkels erstreckenden, an der Rahmeninnenseite mündenden Einspritzbohrung ausgebildet ist, die im Bereich der Einspritzöffnung senkrecht zur Längsrichtung des Hohlprofils ausgerichtet ist und zur Einspritzöffnung fluchtet.The invention relates to a frame for windows, Doors, facades or the like, with preferably made Metal existing hollow sections as well as with one in the Hollow profiles cross-connecting element, in particular a corner connector, wherein the Connecting element for each of the hollow sections at least one from the frame outside to Frame inside extending channel for one between the connecting element and the Hollow profile to be introduced adhesive, including in Hollow profile on the frame outside one to the channel subsequent injection opening for the adhesive is provided, and wherein the channel in each of Leg of the connecting element in the form of a within and across the longitudinal direction of the leg extending, opening at the frame inside Injection hole is formed in the region of Injection opening perpendicular to the longitudinal direction of Hollow profile is aligned and the injection port flees.

Aus der EP 0 722 034 ist ein Fertigungsverfahren zur Herstellung von Rahmen für Fenster, Türen, Fassaden und dergleichen bekannt. Dazu ist vorgesehen, daß der Kleber bei der Montage der Rahmen bereits mit in die Rahmenteile eingebracht wird. Der Kleber befindet sich bei der Montage - in gekapselter Form - in einer Aufnahmeaussparung am Verbindungselement, so daß weder bei der Montage noch bei der anschließenden Verklebung Lösungsmittel - jedenfalls in nennenswertem Maße - frei werden, noch direkte Hautkontakte mit dem Kleber auftreten können. Es ist auch kein Öffnen irgendwelcher Umhüllungen erforderlich, die anschließend als Abfallprodukt zu entsorgen wären.From EP 0 722 034 a manufacturing method for Production of frames for windows, doors, facades and the like are known. It is envisaged that the Glue in the assembly of the frame already in the Frame parts is introduced. The glue is located during assembly - in encapsulated form - in one Receiving recess on the connecting element, so that neither during assembly still during the subsequent bonding Solvent - at least to a significant extent - become free, still direct skin contacts with the glue may occur. It is not open either any servings required subsequently be disposed of as a waste product.

Die Größe der Aufnahmeaussparung ist so bemessen, daß für die nach der mechanischen Verbindung der Teile miteinander vorzunehmende Verklebung eine vorherbestimmbare und als ausreichend ermittelte Klebermenge zum Einsatz kommt.The size of the recording recess is such that for after the mechanical connection of the parts bonding to be performed together Predictable and determined as sufficient Amount of glue is used.

Bei der Verklebung wird der in der Aufnahmeaussparung angeordnete Kleber mittels eines Auspreßteils in den Spalt zwischen dem Hohlprofil und dem Verbindungselement gedrückt, wobei dieser Spalt der mechanischen Stabilität wegen natürlich sehr schmal und in Bereichen, in denen sich die verklebenden Teile unmittelbar aneinander anliegen, überhaupt nicht vorhanden ist. Der Fluß des Klebers beim Auspressen ist somit einigermaßen unbestimmt und folgt dem geringsten Widerstand, kann also unter Umständen auch in Hohlräume gehen oder in Bereiche, in denen eine Verklebung nicht vorgesehen war. Darüber hinaus steht die - vergleichsweise große - Fläche der Aufnahmeaussparung für die Verklebung nicht zur Verfügung, da sich hierin das nicht fest mit dem Hohlprofil verbundene Auspreßteil befindet.When gluing is in the receiving recess arranged adhesive by means of a squeezing in the Gap between the hollow profile and the Pressed connecting element, said gap of the mechanical stability because of course very narrow and in areas where the bonding parts are to touch each other directly, not at all is available. The flow of glue during squeezing is thus somewhat indefinite and follows the least resistance, so may also go into cavities or into areas where one Gluing was not provided. In addition it stands the - comparatively large - area of Receptacle for bonding not to Available, since this is not fixed with the Hollow profile connected extrusion is located.

Bei einer aus der DE 43 03 877 bekannten Eckverbindung von auf Gehrung geschnittenen Hohlprofilen ist jeweils ein Kanal auf der Flankenfläche des Eckverbinders vorgesehen. Der Kanal erstreckt sich dabei unterhalb der Gehrungsfuge und mündet an der Rahmenaußenseite an einen Verteilungskanal, der eine Verbindung zwischen den beiden an den Flankenflächen vorgesehenen Kanäle schafft. Dieser Verteilungskanal befindet sich in der Rahmenecke und wird von einer Abflachung des Eckverbinders gebildet. In diesen Verteilungskanal mündet im übrigen die Einspritzöffnung. Im Bereich der Flankenflächen sind darüberhinaus Abstandsstücke vorgesehen, die zwischen dem Eckverbinder und den Innenflächen der Hohlprofile Spalträume zur Aufnahme des Klebers bilden. Die Verklebung erfolgt daher an den Flankenflächen des Rahmens, wodurch die Gefahr besteht, daß Kleber aus der Gehrungsfuge nach außen austreten kann und damit zu einer Verschmutzung an den Sichtflächen des Rahmens führt. Darüberhinaus ist es notwendig, weitere Bohrungen in die Hohlprofile einzubringen, um die zur Verklebung zusätzlich erforderliche mechanische Verbindung zwischen dem Eckverbinder und den Hohlprofilen herstellen zu können.In one known from DE 43 03 877 corner joint of mitred hollow sections is respectively a channel on the flank surface of the Corner connector provided. The channel extends below the miter joint and opens at the Frame outside to a distribution channel, the one Connection between the two on the flank surfaces creates provided channels. This distribution channel is located in the frame corner and is from a Flattening of the corner connector formed. In these Distribution channel flows into the rest of the Injection port. In the area of flank surfaces are In addition, spacers provided between the the corner connector and the inner surfaces of the hollow sections Form a gap for receiving the adhesive. The Bonding therefore takes place on the flank surfaces of the Frame, whereby there is a risk that glue out the miter joint can escape to the outside and thus to contamination on the visible surfaces of the frame leads. Moreover, it is necessary to have more Holes in the hollow sections bring to the Bonding additionally required mechanical Connection between the corner connector and the To produce hollow profiles.

Der Erfindung liegt die Aufgabe zugrunde, einen Rahmen der eingangs genannten Art so zu verbessern, daß das Einbringen des Klebers an die innere Gegenfläche des Rahmens bei einfacher Zugänglichkeit von außen möglich ist und dabei dünne Kleberschichten zur Gewährleistung größerer Adhäsionskräfte erreicht werden.The invention is based on the object, a frame to improve the type mentioned so that the Applying the adhesive to the inner counter surface of the Frame with easy accessibility from the outside possible is thin while adhesive layers to ensure greater adhesion forces can be achieved.

Diese Aufgabe wird nach der Erfindung dadurch gelöst, daß die Einspritzöffnung gemeinsam mit der Einspritzbohrung einen als Hülse ausgebildeten Verbindungsbolzen aufnimmt und die Einspritzbohrung in zur Rahmenebene senkrechter Richtung gesehen etwa mittig im Schenkel des Verbindungselements angeordnet ist und in eine im Verbindungselement an der Rahmeninnenseite vorgesehene flache, taschenartige Aussparung mündet.This object is achieved according to the invention characterized that the injection opening together with the Injection bore designed as a sleeve Connecting pin receives and the injection hole seen in the direction perpendicular to the frame plane approximately arranged centrally in the leg of the connecting element is and in a in the connecting element at the Inside frame provided flat, pocket-like Recess opens.

Der durch die Erfindung erreichte Vorteil besteht im wesentlichen darin, daß der Kleber innerhalb der rundum geschlossenen Einspritzbohrung zur Innenseite des Rahmens hin in die dort vorgesehene Aussparung geleitet wird. Der Rand der Aussparung sorgt dafür, daß der Kleber im für die Verklebung vorgesehenen Bereich, nämlich der durch die Aussparung gebildeten Kleberverteilfläche bleibt, also nicht undefiniert verteilt wird und somit genau an die zu verklebenden Flächen gelangt. Damit ist auch sichergestellt, daß im Bereich der Sichtfläche der Gehrungsfuge kein Kleber nach außen austreten kann. Auch Prägungen am Rahmen mit Hilfe von Messern werden dadurch nicht beeinträchtigt. Im übrigen ist hierdurch das Einbringen von Füllstücken in das Verbindungselement entbehrlich, soweit dieses Hohlräume aufweist. The advantage achieved by the invention consists in essential in that the adhesive within the completely closed injection bore to the inside of the frame in the recess provided there is directed. The edge of the recess ensures that the adhesive is provided for the bonding Area, namely formed by the recess Adhesive distribution surface remains, so not undefined is distributed and thus exactly to the glued Surfaces. This also ensures that in the area of the visible surface of the miter no Glue can escape to the outside. Also imprints on the Frames with the help of knives will not impaired. Otherwise, this is the Introducing patches in the connecting element dispensable, as far as it has cavities.

Je nach Rahmenbreite kann es vorteilhaft sein, wenn die Einspritzbohrung im Anschluß an den senkrecht zur Längsrichtung des Schenkels ausgerichteten, zur Aufnahme des Verbindungsbolzens vorgesehenen Bereich schräg in Richtung zum freien Ende des Schenkels hin gerichtet verläuft. Dieser schräge Verlauf stellt gerade bei breiten Rahmen sicher, daß die Mündung der Einspritzbohrung ausreichenden Abstand von der Gehrungsfuge einhält.Depending on the frame width, it may be advantageous if the injection hole following the perpendicular to the Lenght of the thigh aligned, to Recording the connecting bolt provided area diagonally towards the free end of the thigh directed runs. This oblique course presents especially with wide frames make sure the mouth of the Injection hole sufficient distance from the Miter gap complies.

Nach einer ersten vorteilhaften Weitergestaltung der Erfindung kann bei als Gußteil ausgebildetem Verbindungselement die Einspritzbohrung integraler Bestandteil des Formteils sein. Nach einer anderen Ausgestaltung besteht jedoch auch die Möglichkeit, daß das Verbindungselement von zwei in der Rahmenebene geteilten Formteilen gebildet ist, die an ihrer gegenseitigen Anlagefläche zwei korrespondierende Zylinderhalbschalen aufweisen, die gemeinsam die Einspritzbohrung bilden.After a first advantageous development of the The invention can be embodied as a casting Connecting element the injection hole integral Be part of the molding. After another However, there is also the possibility that the connecting element of two in the frame plane divided moldings formed on their mutual contact surface two corresponding Have cylindrical half shells, which together the Form injection hole.

Soweit das Einbringen der Einspritzbohrung in das Verbindungselement unmittelbar bei der Herstellung zu aufwendig ist, beispielsweise dann, wenn das Verbindungselement durch Ablängen von einem geeignet geformten, stranggepreßten Profil erfolgt, kann es günstiger sein, wenn die Einspritzbohrung von einer in Ausnehmungen des Verbindungsprofils eingesetzten Hülse gebildet ist. Dann ist es darüberhinaus sogar möglich, daß die Hülse aus einem anderen Material als das Verbindungselement, also z. B. aus Kunststoff besteht. As far as the introduction of the injection hole in the Connecting element immediately during manufacture too is expensive, for example, if that Connecting element by cutting one of suitable shaped, extruded profile, it can be cheaper, if the injection hole of an in Recesses of the connection profile inserted sleeve is formed. Then it is even possible that the sleeve of a different material than that Connecting element, ie z. B. consists of plastic.

Die in der Zeichnung dargestellte Eckverbindung ist Teil eines Rahmens für beispielsweise Fenster, Türen, Fassaden oder dergleichen. Der Rahmen wird gebildet von vorzugsweise aus Metall bestehenden Hohlprofilen 1, 2 sowie von hier als Eckverbinder ausgebildeten Verbindungselementen 3, die in die Hohlprofile 1, 2 greifen. Diese Eckverbinder 1, 2 sind in der Regel zunächst mechanisch mit den Hohlprofilen 1, 2 verbunden, beispielsweise in Form eines von außen in eine entsprechende Bohrung eingepreßten Bolzens oder einer in eine Aussparung des Verbindungselements eingeprägten bzw. eingestanzten Lasche. Zusätzliche Festigkeit erhält der Rahmen durch eine Verklebung im Eckbereich, wofür wenigstens ein von der Rahmenaußenseite zur Rahmeninnenseite hin sich erstreckender Kanal vorgesehen ist, über den zwischen das Verbindungselement 3 und das Hohlprofil 1, 2 der Kleber 6 eingebracht wird. Da der Kleber 6 erst nach der Montage des Rahmens eingespritzt wird, ist im Hohlprofil 1, 2 an der Rahmenaußenseite eine an den Kanal anschließende Einspritzöffnung 4 für den Kleber 6 vorgesehen.The corner joint shown in the drawing is Part of a frame for, for example, windows, doors, Facades or the like. The frame is formed preferably made of metal Hollow profiles 1, 2 and from here as corner connectors formed connecting elements 3, in the Hollow sections 1, 2 grip. These corner connectors 1, 2 are usually first mechanically with the Hollow sections 1, 2 connected, for example in shape one from the outside into a corresponding hole Pressed bolt or one in a recess of the Affixed or punched element Tab. Additional strength is given to the frame a gluing in the corner area, for which at least one from the frame outside to the frame inside itself extending channel is provided over the between the connecting element 3 and the hollow profile 1, 2 of Adhesive 6 is introduced. Since the adhesive 6 only after The assembly of the frame is injected in the Hollow section 1, 2 on the outside of the frame a to the Channel adjoining injection port 4 for the Glue 6 provided.

Der Kanal ist im einzelnen als Einspritzbohrung 5 ausgebildet, die sich innerhalb und quer zur Längsrichtung des Schenkels erstreckt und an der Rahmeninnenseite mündet. Dabei verläuft die Einspritzbohrung 5 so, daß sie jedenfalls im Bereich der Einspritzöffnung 4 zunächst senkrecht zur Längsrichtung des Hohlprofils 1, 2 ausgerichtet ist und zur Einspritzöffnung 4 fluchtet. Hierdurch bildet die Einspritzöffnung 4 gemeinsam mit der Einspritzbohrung 5 eine Aufnahme für den Verbindungsbolzen 8. Auf diese Art und Weise erübrigt es sich, für die mechanische Verbindung zwischen dem Hohlprofil 1, 2 und dem Verbindungselement 3 mittels des Verbindungsbolzens 8 hierfür zusätzliche mechanische Bearbeitungen vorzunehmen. Da in der Regel der Rahmen zunächst fertig montiert und im Anschluß daran der Kleber 6 eingespritzt wird, ist es günstig, wenn der Verbindungsbolzen 8 als Hülse ausgebildet ist, da dann durch diesen hindurch das Einspritzen des Klebers 6 erfolgen kann. The channel is in detail as injection hole. 5 trained, in and across Lengthwise of the leg extends and at the Inside the frame opens. It runs the Injection hole 5 so that they at least in the area the injection port 4 initially perpendicular to Longitudinal direction of the hollow profile 1, 2 is aligned and is aligned with the injection port 4. This forms the injection port 4 together with the Injection hole 5 a receptacle for the Connecting bolt 8. This is unnecessary it is, for the mechanical connection between the Hollow profile 1, 2 and the connecting element 3 by means of the connecting bolt 8 for this additional make mechanical work. As a rule the frame initially assembled and connected because the glue 6 is injected, it is convenient when the connecting bolt 8 is formed as a sleeve is because then through this the injection of the Glue 6 can be done.

Die Einspritzbohrung 5 ist in zur Rahmenebene senkrechter Richtung gesehen etwa mittig im Schenkel des Verbindungselements 3 angeordnet, wie sich dies aus den Fig. 2, 4 und 6 ersehen läßt. Die Einspritzbohrung 5 mündet dabei in eine im Verbindungselelement 3 an der Rahmeninnenseite vorgesehene flache, taschenartige Aussparung 7, die in Fig. 2 im Querschnitt, in den Fig. 4 und 6 in Draufsicht erkennbar ist. Diese Aussparung 7 dient der Aufnahme des Klebers 6 und schafft zugleich mit ihrem Rand eine Begrenzung, über die hinaus der Kleber 6 in der Regel nicht fließen wird, so daß insbesondere ein Austreten des Klebers 6 aus der Gehrungsnut verhindert wird.The injection hole 5 is in to the frame plane vertical direction seen approximately in the middle of the thigh arranged the connecting element 3, as this is can be seen from Figs. 2, 4 and 6. The Injection hole 5 opens into a in Verbindungselelement 3 on the inside of the frame provided flat, pocket-like recess 7, which in Fig. 2 in cross section, in Figs. 4 and 6 in Top view is recognizable. This recess 7 serves the Recording the glue 6 and creates at the same time with her Edge a boundary beyond which the glue 6 in usually will not flow, so that in particular a Exiting the adhesive 6 from the miter groove prevented becomes.

Bei einer größeren Breite des Rahmens und damit auch des Eckverbinders kann, wie dies in Fig. 7 dargestellt ist, die Einspritzbohrung 5 im Anschluß an den senkrecht zur Längsrichtung des Schenkels ausgerichteten, zur Aufnahme des Verbindungsbolzens 8 vorgesehenen Bereich schräg in Richtung zum freien Ende des Schenkels hin gerichtet verlaufen. Dadurch tritt auch bei größerer Rahmenbreite der Kleber 6 mit ausreichendem Abstand von der Gehrungsfuge in die Aussparung 7 aus.With a larger width of the frame and therefore also of the corner connector can, as shown in Fig. 7 is, the injection hole 5 following the perpendicular to the longitudinal direction of the leg aligned, for receiving the connecting bolt. 8 provided area obliquely towards the free End of the thigh directed towards. Thereby occurs with larger frame width of the adhesive 6 with sufficient distance from the miter joint in the Recess 7 off.

Bei als Gußteil ausgebildetem Verbindungselement 3 kann die Einspritzbohrung 5 integraler Bestandteil des Formteils sein. Das Verbindungselement 3 kann jedoch auch, wie dies in den Fig. 5 und 6 dargestellt ist, von zwei in der Rahmenebene geteilten Formteilen gebildet sein, die an ihrer gegenseitigen Anlagefläche zwei korrespondierende Zylinderhalbschalen aufweisen, die gemeinsam die Einspritzbohrung 5 bilden. Schließlich kann, wie dies insbesondere aus der Fig. 3 zu ersehen ist, die Einspritzbohrung 5 von einer in Ausnehmungen des Verbindungselements 3 eingesetzten Hülse 9 gebildet sein. Diese Hülse 9 kann sogar aus andersartigem Werkstoff als das Verbindungselement 3, beispielsweise aus Kunststoff bestehen.When trained as a casting connecting element. 3 can the injection hole 5 integral part of the Be molding. However, the connecting element 3 can also, as shown in Figs. 5 and 6, of two molded parts divided in the frame plane be formed at their mutual contact surface have two corresponding cylinder half-shells, which together form the injection hole 5. Finally, as can be seen in particular from FIG. 3 can be seen, the injection hole 5 of a in Recesses of the connecting element 3 used Sleeve 9 may be formed. This sleeve 9 can even off other material than the connecting element 3, for example, consist of plastic.

Der Arbeitsablauf bei der Montage eines Rahmens nach der Erfindung gestaltet sich so, daß nach dem Vorbereiten der Profile 1, 2 und dem Einbringen der Bohrung zum Einspritzen des Klebers 6 zunächst im Bereich der Gehrungsschnittfläche ein Kleber- oder Dichtstoffauftrag erfolgt, dann der Eckwinkel eingeschoben und somit der komplette Rahmen zusammengefügt wird. Als nächstes wird der hülsenförmig ausgebildete Bolzen 8 in die Einspritzbohrung 5 eingeschlagen und schließlich der Kleber 6 eingespritzt.The workflow when mounting a frame after The invention is such that after the Preparing the profiles 1, 2 and the introduction of the Bore for injecting the adhesive 6 first in Area of miter cut surface an adhesive or Sealant is applied, then the corner angle pushed in and thus the complete frame is joined together. Next is the sleeve-shaped bolts 8 in the Injection hole 5 taken and finally the Glue 6 injected.
