Description

The invention relates to a device for arrangement between a frame of a window or a door and a frame associated with the frame. The invention also relates to a frame with such a device.

From the prior art it is known to use window or door frames in associated soffits, wherein the space between the frame and the soffit is subsequently filled with foam material and / or silicone. Since the introduction of foam and / or silicone is usually done manually, there is a risk that too little or too high material input takes place. This depends essentially on the care of the installer.

Furthermore, it is necessary to bring the frame in an end position before foaming; For this purpose, for example, Unterlegklötze or wedgewood are used, which are manually introduced, for example by means of a hammer, in the space between the frame and reveal in such a way that the frame is keyed in its end position in the soffit. To achieve a precise wedging of the frame in the reveal, special skill is required.

From EP 1 300 536 A2 it has become known to provide a seal made of a plastic profile between a floor of a window or a door and an outer wall for bridging the connecting joint, wherein the plastic profile has an integrally formed, substantially rigid connecting leg for the outer wall, via an elastic film hinge is connected to the rest of the profile body.

From EP 39 88 55 A2 has become known to pivotally insert a substantially rigid connecting leg in a circumferential groove in the frame profile of the window frame, which can be pivoted from a voltage applied to the frame profile transport position in a projecting from the window frame functional position in which he the outer wall on the Outer reaches over to bridge the connecting joint with overhang.

The present invention has for its object to provide a device of the type mentioned above such that the arrangement for a simple and safe to install and on the other hand, the window frame together with the window, or the door frame velvet door, securely held in the reveal during assembly is.

This object is achieved by a device having the features of claim 1.

Such a device comprises a base part for abutment against the reveal and a lifting section arranged on the base part via at least one hinge-like section. The hinge-like web portion is deflectable via deflection such that the lifting portion for adjusting and wedging the frame in the reveal away from the base or on the base to be moved. Due to the at least one hinge-like web portion, which is movable via deflection means, an accurate and defined arrangement of the frame in the soffit can take place. By the invention, a targeted movement of the lifting section can be achieved, whereby the setting of the frame in the reveal and the wedging is largely independent of the experience and skill of the mechanic. The frame can thus be fixed by the inventive device positionally accurate by wedging in the soffit before it is permanently and permanently attached, for example by means of reaction foam in the reveal.

According to an advantageous embodiment of the invention it is provided that the web portions are V-shaped, wherein the free ends of the individual V-legs are arranged on the base part and the lifting portion and the connecting portion of the legs between the base and the lifting portion are arranged. In this case, the ends of the V-legs and the connecting sections of the respective associated limbs, which are arranged on the base part or on the lifting section, act as hinge sections. It is advantageous if two opposite V-shaped web sections are provided, in which the connecting portions of the legs in each case to each other or facing away from each other. Overall, therefore, three hinge axes are provided, namely one in the transition region of the one leg to the lifting section, one in the connecting portion of the two legs and one in the transition region of the other leg to the base. In the event that the base together with the legs and the lifting portion is integrally formed of plastic, the areas of the hinge axes can be formed like a film hinge. The actual web region can be designed to be stronger than the region of the film hinge-like hinge axes. By such a scissor-like design results in a uniform deflection of the web portions and thus a smooth movement of the lifting section.

It is advantageous if a deflection in each case in the region of the connecting portions of the opposing legs so engages that the connecting portions to each other or away from each other are movable. It is conceivable that the connecting portions are arranged in a middle stroke position facing each other or facing away from each other. The fact that the deflection means engages in the region of the connecting sections results in an advantageous movement of the lifting section.

In particular, can be provided as a deflection a set screw. The set screw then advantageously engages at two opposite V-shaped web portions at the respective connecting portions. When turning the one screw then the two web sections are deflected, that is, at two opposite web sections, the web sections towards each other or moved away from each other such that the lift portion is raised or lowered relative to the base. Advantageously, the adjusting screw can pass through a web section and can be screwed into a thread present on the other web section. The adjusting screw advantageously has at least one free end face on an actuating head over which by means of a suitable tool or by hand, the screw can be rotated. Advantageously, the set screw is arranged perpendicular to the frame plane, so that it is easily accessible.

In a further embodiment of the invention, it can be provided that the base part and the lifting section provide contact surfaces arranged essentially parallel to one another. In this case, the web sections are preferably selected such that upon actuation of the deflection means the contact surface of the lifting section is moved largely parallel to the contact surface of the base part. This is possible, as described above, in particular with two opposite, V-shaped web sections.

Furthermore, it can be provided that the base part comprises a sash stop, with which the device can be struck at one edge of the soffit. This has the advantage that the device can be inserted at a predetermined distance from the edge of the soffit in the soffit. The installation depth of the frame in the reveal is thus predeterminable.

According to the invention it is further possible that the base part and / or the lifting portion comprises a frame stop, which is provided for abutment of the frame on the device in the direction transverse to the frame plane. This has the advantage that not only is the facility facing the reveal in a predetermined position can be brought, but that the frame relative to the device, and thus also with respect to the reveal, can be brought into a predetermined installation position. Overall, therefore, the installation depth of the frame relative to the reveal can be specified.

For additional fixation and wedging of the frame, the device may provide a securing element with which the lifting part and / or the frame can be secured in the soffit after arrangement and adjustment of the frame. The securing element can be designed, for example, as a securing screw, which braces the lifting section or the frame against the base part. The locking screw can be arranged on the base and have a sleeve-like adjusting nut which is movable according to the stroke direction of the lifting portion upon rotation. After arranging and adjusting the frame via the deflection means, consequently, the adjusting nut of the locking screw can be rotated until it rests against the lifting section or the frame.

The base can have a receiving rail for rotationally secure receiving the screw head of the locking screw. Advantageously, then the sleeve-like adjusting nut by means of a key, in particular a fork wrench, rotatably mounted on the locking screw.

A particularly preferred embodiment of the invention provides that the base part together with web sections and Hubabschnitten is formed as a one-piece hollow profile, and in particular as a plastic hollow profile.

In order to achieve optimum isolation of the device, it can be provided according to the invention that the elements of the Facility formed cavities are at least partially filled with foam.

It is advantageous if the foam is attached to the device reaction foam, which can be activated after arrangement and adjustment of the frame in the reveal. For final and permanent setting of the frame in the soffit, the reaction foam can be triggered. Triggering can be done for example by a mechanical contact, for example by pulling on a reaction trigger line. The reaction foam can advantageously be arranged as a triggerable reaction foam packet at corresponding locations on the device.

According to a further advantageous embodiment of the invention, holding portions for holding a drain water rail are arranged on the base. In this way, it can be achieved that a positionally accurate and predeterminable arrangement of a water drainage rail on the device is possible. Since the frame is advantageously applied to the device in a predetermined position, the arrangement of the water drain rail is also positionally accurate relative to the frame.

The device according to the invention can extend at least substantially over at least one side of the frame facing the soffit. Advantageously, the device extends beyond the lower side of the frame facing the reveal. The device is located during installation between the soffit and the frame. By operating the deflection means, the lift section is raised until the frame is placed in its final position in the soffit. According to the invention can also be provided that on the other sides of the frame corresponding facilities are provided. It is conceivable that the facilities then surround or include the frame on all sides.

The lifting portion of the device may advantageously be releasably connectable to the frame. This has the advantage that the device can be placed on the frame before insertion of the frame into the soffit and then inserted into the soffit together with the frame.

According to the invention it is also conceivable that the device is formed integrally with a frame of a window or a door. In particular, in the case of plastic frames, the device, which in particular is likewise made of plastic, can also be molded onto the frame.

As mentioned above, the invention also relates to a frame, in particular a window or door frame, which comprises a device according to the invention.

In the figure 1, a window 10 is shown, which is arranged in a reveal 12 of a masonry. The window 10 comprises a window pane 18 enclosed in a casement 16 by hinges 14. The window 10 also comprises a frame 22 facing the brickwork 20, which is surrounded by four devices 24 according to the invention. The four devices 24 can be embodied as four individual devices or as a device enclosing the frame. According to the invention, it is also conceivable to provide a device 24 according to the invention only on one or two sides, for example on the underside and / or on a lateral side of the frame 22. The devices 24 advantageously lie directly against the sides of the frame 22 facing the reveal 12. It is conceivable, however, that between the devices and the frame further components may be present, such as films, sealants, insulating or the like.

On the masonry 20 facing side of the devices 24, the devices each have a base 26, on which via web portions 28, a lifting part 30 is arranged. For moving the lifting part 30 relative to the respective base part 26, deflection means in the form of adjusting screws 32 are provided.

As is clear from FIG. 1, the devices 24 according to the invention each extend over the entire length Length of the masonry facing sides of the frame 22. Each inventive device 24 provides a total of two screws 32, with each of which a lifting element 30 can be moved relative to a respective base 26. Depending on the longitudinal extent of the device according to the invention, further adjusting screws 32 can be used. Likewise, along a line, two or more devices according to the invention may be arranged between the frames of a window and the associated masonry.

In the figure 2, which reproduces the section II enlarged according to Figure 1, the two screws 32 are clearly visible. The adjusting screws 32 are arranged in the connecting portion 34 of cross-sectionally V-shaped, opposite web portions 28.1 and 28.2. The cross-sectionally V-shaped web sections 28.1 and 28.2 can be clearly seen in particular in FIG. The web portions 28.1 and 28.2 each have two transverse V-legs 36, wherein the opposite edges 38 and 40 of the V-legs 36 are arranged on the one hand on the base 26 and on the other hand on the lifting portion 30. As shown in Figure 6, the edge portions 38 and 40 may be formed like a film hinge; the edges 38, 40 then each form a hinge axis. Likewise, as shown in Figure 6, the mutually facing edges of the V-leg 36, that is, the connecting portions of the two V-legs 36, be formed like a film hinge. This results in a third hinge axis. Overall, a scissor-like arrangement results.

As is clear from the figure 4, the V-shaped web portions 28.1 and 28.2 are arranged so that their connecting portions 34 are remote from each other.

In a neutral stroke position, as shown in Figure 4, the V-legs 36 each enclose an angle of 60 to 120 °, and in particular an angle α of about 90 °. The respective V-legs 36 are arranged at an angle of about 30 to 60 °, and in particular an angle β of 45 ° to the base part 36 and the lifting portion 30.

As is also clear from FIG. 4, the adjusting screws 32 each engage in the region of the connecting sections 34 of the web sections 28. 1 and 28. 2. For this purpose, the web section 28.1 provides a through-hole 42 for the screw 32. In the region of the connecting portion of the web portion 28.1, a thread 44 is provided into which the screw 32 can be screwed.

When screwing the screw 32, the two connecting portions 34 of the two web portions 28.1 and 28.2 are moved towards each other, whereby the lifting portion 30 is raised relative to the base 26. Due to the provision of the oppositely disposed and substantially symmetrical to each other scissor-like web portions 28.1 and 28.2 is carried out when screwing the screw 32, a uniform increase of the lifting section 30. The lifting section 30 moves substantially parallel to the base 26. The lifting section 30 looks on its side facing the frame 22, a contact surface 46 for the frame 22 before; the base 26 provides on its masonry 20 side facing a parallel extending abutment surface 48 before.

As is clear in particular from FIGS. 1 and 2, the V-legs 36 extend over the entire length the device 10. Only in the area of the screws 32 see the web sections 28.1 holes for receiving the screw 32 before.

As is also clear from FIG. 4, on the base part 26 there is a release stop 50, with which the base part 26, and thus the entire device 24, abuts against the edge 52 of the masonry 20. Thus, a predeterminable installation depth of the frame 22 in the reveal 12 can be achieved.

In addition, the base 26 provides a frame stop 54 to which the frame 22 is struck. As a result, a predeterminable relative position of the frame 22 to the base 26, and thus the masonry 20, allows.

As is also clear from FIG. 4, a securing element in the form of a securing screw 56 together with the associated sleeve-type adjusting nut 58 is arranged on the base part 26. As can be seen from FIG. 5, which shows the securing screw 56 in different views, the securing screw 56 provides an elongated screw head 60 on which a threaded bolt 62 is arranged.

The screw head 60 of the locking screw 56 can be inserted into a molded-on rail 26 on the base 64. The rail 64 is formed in the cross section, as shown in Figure 4, a T-slot-like manner. The screw head 60 can be used in this T-groove-like training. A twisting of the screw head is not possible due to the elongated design of the head 60. Consequently, a rotation of the adjusting nut 58, for example by means of a fork wrench, possible. The guide rail 64 for the Locking screw 58 can be clearly seen in FIG. The locking screw 62 can be moved in the guide rail 64 to a seemingly favorable place and used there to secure the frame. In addition, several locking screws 56 together with associated adjusting nuts 58 can be used.

To mount the frame 22, the screws 32 are rotated so far until the frame 22 is seated in its optimum position in the reveal 12. To secure this position then the adjusting nuts 58 are turned off so far from the locking screws 58 in a next step until the base 26 facing away from the end face of the adjusting nut 58 acts against the frame 22. The position of the frame 22 in the reveal is thus secured.

In a next step, the frame in the soffit can be permanently and permanently fixed by reaction foam. The reaction foam advantageously also fills the cavities of the device 10. The reaction foam can be arranged, for example, as active foam packets on the device 24. These foam packets are activated to trigger the foam.

After the frame 22 is finally fixed in the reveal 12 with reaction foam, plastering can take place.
According to FIG. 4, the base part 26 provides two holding sections 66 and 68, on which a water drainage rail 70 is arranged. Due to the holding sections 66 and 68, the rail 70 can be arranged with exact position on the device 10. Due to the stops 50 and 54, the rail is also positioned accurately relative to the masonry 20 and the frame 22. The rail 70 may additionally with other Fasteners, such as with fastening screws or rivets, be attached to the base or masonry.

Advantageously, the device according to the invention is manufactured in one piece from plastic. However, according to the invention it is also conceivable that the device 24 is composed of several components. In particular, conventional hinged hinges can be used instead of film hinges.
