Description

"Fenster- oder Türwandeinheit""Window or door wall unit"

Die Erfindung betrifft eine Fenster- oder Türwandeinheit aus gelenkig miteinander verbundenen, ziehharmonikaartig faltbar gegeneinander geführt verschiebbaren Flügeln aus zwei schal igen wärmegedämmten Profilen, die durch Eckverbinder miteinander verbunden sind, wobei durch einzelne Eckverbinder jeweils die Treibstange einer Feststellvorrichtung geführt ist.The invention relates to a window or door wall unit made of hinged, accordion-like, foldable, sliding wings made of two shell-like, thermally insulated profiles that are connected to one another by corner connectors, whereby the drive rod of a locking device is guided through individual corner connectors.

Eine solche Einheit ist aus dem DE-GM 90 01 083 bekannt. Sie wird als Fenster- oder Türfaltwand in Räumen von Wohnhäusern eingesetzt, die vornehmlich im Sommer als offener Raum und im Winter als geschützter Raum in der Art eines Wintergartens benutzt werden. Die einzelnen Flügel bestehen jeweils aus zwei schal igen , wärmegedämmten Profilen,Such a unit is known from DE-GM 90 01 083. It is used as a window or door folding wall in rooms of residential buildings that are primarily used as an open space in summer and as a protected space in winter, like a winter garden. The individual wings each consist of two shell-like, thermally insulated profiles,

die durch Eckverbinder miteinander verbunden sind, wie sie aus dem DE-GM 88 OO 543 bekannt sind. Diese Eckverbinder sind blockartig ausgebildet und mit Einsteckzapfen jeweils in den benachbarten Rahmenprofilen eingesteckt. An einzelnen Flügeln sind Feststel!vorrichtungen mit einer vertikal bewegbaren Treibstange vorgesehen, die in der Verriegelungsstellung durch den entsprechend ausgenommenen Eckverbinder hindurchragt und in die decken- oder bodenseitige Führungsschiene eingreift.which are connected to one another by corner connectors, as known from DE-GM 88 OO 543. These corner connectors are designed in blocks and are inserted into the adjacent frame profiles using insertion pins. On individual leaves, locking devices with a vertically movable drive rod are provided, which in the locking position protrudes through the correspondingly recessed corner connector and engages in the ceiling or floor-side guide rail.

Die Aufgabe der Erfindung besteht darin, für eine solche bekannte Fenster- oder Türwandeinheit eine wärmegedämmte Eckverbindung vorzuschlagen, die zur Führung der Treibstange einer Feststellvorrichtung geeignet i st.The object of the invention is to propose a thermally insulated corner connection for such a known window or door wall unit, which is suitable for guiding the drive rod of a locking device.

Gelöst wird die Erfindungsaufgabe mit einer Fensteroder Türwandeinheit mit den Merkmalen des AnspruchsThe inventive task is solved with a window or door wall unit with the features of the claim

Aufgrund der Trennung des Eckverbinders in zwei zueinander parallele Tei1 verbinder, die wiederum durch ein Kunststoffelement miteinander verbunden sind, ist eine wärmegedämmte Eckverbindung geschaffen Das verbindende Kunststoffelement bildet gleichzeitig die Führung für eine Treibstange.Due to the separation of the corner connector into two parallel parts, which in turn are connected to each other by a plastic element, a thermally insulated corner connection is created. The connecting plastic element also forms the guide for a drive rod.

Nach einer bevorzugten Ausführungsart der Erfindung ist ein solches Kunststoffelement ringförmig ausgebildet und bildet damit die Führung für das relativ lange Ende der Treibstange, welches zur Festsetzung relativ genau geführt sein muß.According to a preferred embodiment of the invention, such a plastic element is ring-shaped and thus forms the guide for the relatively long end of the drive rod, which must be guided relatively precisely in order to be fixed.

Anhand eines abgebildeten Ausführungsbeispieles wird die Erfindung im folgenden näher erläutert. Es zeigenThe invention is explained in more detail below using an illustrated embodiment.

In den Abbildungen sind mit den Ziffern 1 und 2 Türflügel angedeutet, die gelenkig miteinander verbunden sind und die sich in der Art einer Faltwand gegeneinander verschieben lassen. Eine Führung bildet dabei mit der Ziffer 8 angedeutete obere Flügelführungsschiene, an der einzelne Flügel 1 auch mit einer Feststellvorrichtung, deren Treibstange die Ziffer 6 trägt, festgesetzt werden können.In the illustrations, the numbers 1 and 2 indicate door leaves that are connected to one another by hinges and that can be moved against one another like a folding wall. The upper leaf guide rail, indicated by the number 8, forms a guide, to which individual leaves 1 can also be secured with a locking device whose drive rod bears the number 6.

Die Türflügel 1 und 2 sind aus zwei schal igen senkrecht gegeneinander angeordneten Rahmenprofilen 11 und 12 bzw. 21 und 22 gebildet, die jeweils durch die insgesamt jeweils mit den Ziffern 3 und 4 bezeichneten Eckverbindern jeweils zu einem Rahmen miteinander verbunden sind.The door leaves 1 and 2 are made up of two shell-like frame profiles 11 and 12 or 21 and 22 arranged vertically against each other, which are each connected to one another to form a frame by the corner connectors designated with the numbers 3 and 4.

Diese Eckverbinder 3 bzw. 4 bestehen jeweils aus zwei zueinander parallel angeordneten Tei1 verhindern 31, 32 bzw. 41, 42, die mit entsprechenden Einsteckzapfen 311, 321 bzw. 411 und 421 in den benachbarten Schalen der Rahmenprofile eingesteckt und befestigt gehalten sind. In Querrichtung sind diese Tei1 verbinder 31 und 32 bzw. 41 und 42 durch leistenartig, im Querschnitt ringförmige Kunststoffelemente 5 verbunden, die die Führung für die Treibstange bilden können. An diesen Kunststoffelementen 5 sind außen T-Stege 51 angeformt, die in entsprechende Nuten 322 bzw. 422 der Tei 1 verbinder eingreifen.These corner connectors 3 and 4 each consist of two parts 31, 32 and 41, 42 arranged parallel to one another, which are inserted and secured with corresponding insertion pins 311, 321 and 411 and 421 in the adjacent shells of the frame profiles. In the transverse direction, these part connectors 31 and 32 and 41 and 42 are connected by strip-like, cross-sectionally ring-shaped plastic elements 5, which can form the guide for the drive rod. T-bars 51 are formed on the outside of these plastic elements 5, which engage in corresponding grooves 322 and 422 of the part connectors.

Jeweils an zwei Tei1 verhindern 31 und 41 der benachbarten Eckverbinder 3 und 4 sind Scharnierlappen 312 bzw. Scharnierböckchen 412 angeformt, die zusammen mit einem Scharnierbolzen 7 jeweils ein Gelenk bilden. An den zueinander gerichteten Stirnkanten der Tei 1 verbinder 31, 32 bzw. 41, 42 sind Nuten ausgebildet, die jeweils eine Dichtung 9 aufnehmen können. Die T-Stege 51 aufnehmenden Nuten der Tei1 verbinder sind mit den Ziffern 313 und 413 bezeichnet.Hinge tabs 312 and hinge brackets 412 are molded onto two parts 31 and 41 of the adjacent corner connectors 3 and 4, which together with a hinge pin 7 form a joint. Grooves are formed on the facing edges of the part connectors 31, 32 and 41, 42, which can each accommodate a seal 9. The grooves of the part connectors that accommodate the T-bars 51 are designated with the numbers 313 and 413.
