Definitions

  • the invention relates to a window or door with a pane and aluminum frame in bullet-resistant design, the sash and frame on the outside and / or inside are provided with bullet-resistant plates or bullet-resistant profile rails made of an aluminum alloy and the gap between the Glare and the sash frame in the area of the bullet-resistant components is labyrinthine with a step running parallel or approximately parallel to the window or door level.
  • the invention further relates to a fixed glazing provided with an aluminum frame in bullet-resistant design.
  • window or door of the type mentioned (DE-PS 28 18 745), in which or in which the sash and the frame are made of aluminum rails and on the outside or inside of the aluminum profiles of the sash and the frame bullet-proof plates made of an aluminum alloy are glued or welded on.
  • the bullet-proof plates in the area of the gap between the casement and the window frame are designed such that a fold is formed in the width of the gap, which has a step at the height of the center of the bullet-proof plates, which is parallel to the window or door plane.
  • the frames of a window, a door and fixed glazing from thermally insulated composite profiles, in which an aluminum profile is designed as a bullet-resistant component, has a greater wall thickness than the second metal profile and consists of a special aluminum alloy.
  • the insulating bars arranged between the two metal profile bars are connected to the metal profile bars by pressing metal bars of the metal profile bars onto the longitudinal edges of the insulating bars.
  • the bullet-resistant metal profile rails form a stop in the form of a step that runs parallel to the window or door level.
  • the invention has for its object to improve the bullet resistance with simple structural measures without changing the overall thickness of the bullet-resistant components.
  • the width of the labyrinth gap differs between the individual steps.
  • the gap width can also narrow from the bombardment side to the opposite side.
  • the gap parts lying between two steps can run at an angle deviating from the right angle to the window or door plane.
  • the projectile hitting the first step is countered by a greater effective material thickness of the bullet-resistant component.
  • a projectile that hits vertically must have several outer contours in the area of the labyrinth gap. run at an angle, penetrate, each deflecting the projectile. With each deflection, the projected area of the projectile increases in relation to its direction of movement, which on the other hand leads to the fact that by increasing the area more energy of the projectile can be destroyed in the bullet-resistant component.
  • the bullet resistance can be intensified by the fact that the bullet-resistant components have inner chambers with boundary surfaces running at an acute angle to the window or door plane, or the bullet-proofing components are of multi-part design and partial areas of the connecting surfaces under one acute angle to the window or door level. These measures to improve the bullet-resistant effect can also be used in the framework of fixed glazing.
  • the inner chambers can be fitted with inserts made of layered slats.
  • the pane 1 is designed to be bullet-resistant. It is enclosed by a casement 2, which consists of thermally insulated composite profiles.
  • the frame 3 is also formed by thermally insulated composite profiles.
  • the window frame and the sash frame have the usual aluminum profiles 4 and 5 on the inside of the window, which are provided with grooves 6.7 for edge strips 8.9 of insulating rods 10, 11, 12, 13.
  • the external metal webs 14, 15 are pressed onto the edge strips of the insulating bars to connect the insulating bars with the aluminum profiles 4 and 5.
  • edge strips 16, 17 of the insulating rods are also fixed by molding the metal webs 18 in the receiving grooves of the bullet-proof metal profiles 19, 20.
  • the bullet-proof metal profiles 19 and 20 of the window frame and the sash frame delimit a labyrinth gap 21 which is provided with three steps 22, 23, 24 which run parallel to the door plane 25.
  • the width of the labyrinth gap between the individual steps is different.
  • the width of the gap between the individual steps decreases from the outside inwards.
  • the different gap widths a, b, c and d, which decrease from a to d, are entered in FIG. 1.
  • FIG. 2 differs from that of FIG. 1 essentially in that the bullet-resistant metal profiles 26 of the frame 3 and 27 of the casement 2 are equipped with inner chambers 28,29. These inner chambers have boundary surfaces 30 running at an acute angle ⁇ to the window plane 25. These inner chambers have relatively large dimensions in the illustration according to FIG. 2. They can also be designed in the form of a gap and can be provided in large numbers.
  • the projectile penetrating into such an inner chamber is deflected from the previous direction of movement when it hits an oblique boundary surface, with the advantage that the bullet-proof effect of the metal profiles 26, 27 is increased.
  • the inner chambers are filled in by inserts 31, 32.
  • inserts 31, 32 consist of individual sheet metal layers, which thus form a large number of dividing surfaces that can contribute to the deflection of a projectile.
  • the separating surfaces of the sheets forming the inserts can run at right angles to the boundary surfaces 30 of the inner chambers or parallel to the boundary surfaces.
  • the first-mentioned embodiment is shown in FIG. 3, the second embodiment in FIG. 4.
  • the inner chambers can also be filled with components which are made of a special aluminum alloy or of steel, ceramic or glass.
  • Fig. 5 branches a bullet-resistant window in which the bullet-resistant profiles 33 and 34 of the frame provided on the outside 3 and the sash 2 in several parts, namely in the embodiment shown are formed in two parts.
  • the connecting surface of the parts 35, 36 and 37, 38 forming a bullet-proof profile runs like a saw tooth.
  • the parts 35, 36 and 37, 38 are connected by means of screws, by gluing or by welding.
  • Sheets or slats can also be inserted into this column, which consist of a different bullet-resistant material than the profile parts mentioned.
  • Extruded or rolled profile parts have a different density and texture on the surface, which leads to greater hardness and toughness. If these surfaces are arranged obliquely at an angle inside the bullet resistance, then a projectile striking these surface areas is initially braked more strongly and is further deflected from its direction of movement, so that the bullet resistance is improved in two respects.
  • the measures described in the exemplary embodiments on the basis of window representations are to be used for doors and fixed glazing.
  • the bullet-resistant components can also be single-part or multi-part plates, which are connected and optionally encapsulated with profile rails made of aluminum, another metal, wood, plastic or combinations of these materials.
