Definitions

  • the invention relates to a weather protection rail for windows and doors, which is placed on a window or door frame and has a web projecting essentially at right angles in the direction of the window or door leaf, against which a seal attached to the window or door leaf can be placed is.
  • a weather protection rail of this type is known from DE-U-80 00 834.
  • this weather protection rail is made in one piece and made of a metallic material, it does not provide an insulating effect. Condensation can also form to a considerable extent on the metal weather protection rail.
  • a cover strip made of plastic or metal can be snapped onto the outside of the weather protection rail, but this does not prevent the cold from being conducted through the metallic part of the weather protection rail into the contact area of the seal and thus into the rebate area. This also does not reduce the formation of condensation.
  • This weather protection rail has no insulating effect in any way despite the snap-on cover strip.
  • DE-OS 33 47 050 discloses a threshold to be inserted into the screed, into which a seal arranged in a door frame can be placed. So that as little cold as possible is led into the interior and freezing of the door seal to the threshold is avoided, in this embodiment, a surface made of an insulating material is attached to the surface of the threshold and its door stop surface facing the interior, which is fastened by means of a clamp connection . In this way, a thermal separation between the outer and the inner floor covering is sought, but the threshold made of a metallic material is large and extends far into the fold area into the immediate vicinity of the seal, so that strong cold radiation is unavoidable and therefore adequate insulation is sometimes not provided despite the fact that the insulating material is overlaid. Condensation can easily form on the threshold made of aluminum. And since the overlay made of the insulating material bears against the metal rail over a large area, the cold is also transferred to the overlay due to the large contact surface, the desired insulation is thereby adversely affected.
  • the object of the invention is therefore to provide a weather protection rail of the aforementioned type, by means of which it is always possible to achieve satisfactory insulation in the rebate region of a window or a door with little construction effort.
  • the formation of condensation on the weather protection rail should be largely avoided and good thermal separation should be ensured in its area.
  • a weather protection rail of the aforementioned type in that the weather protection rail is composed of two profile parts which can be locked together in the area of the support on the window or door frame and of which this is on the outside of the window or the door Profile part to be arranged made of a metallic material and the profile part to be arranged on the inside are made of an insulating material, the system for the seal being formed by the web formed on the profile part made of insulating material.
  • one of the profile parts with a receiving opening, preferably running parallel to the support of the window or door frame, and the other profile part with a molded-on attachment, which is adapted to the receiving opening and held therein.
  • the receiving opening and the extension can be equipped on one or both sides with interacting locking projections, undercuts, gears or the like, and the two profile parts can also be glued together in the receiving opening.
  • the profile part made of the insulating material preferably by means of two integrally formed webs, on the support of the window or door frame and to fasten the weather protection rail to the window or door frame by means of screws penetrating the profile part made of the insulating material, the bores receiving the screws should be arranged in the profile part made of de, insulating material that the profile part made of metallic material is partially covered by the heads of the screws.
  • the profile part made of the metallic material can be provided in the region of the receiving opening with a support flange which is supported on the support of the window or door frame.
  • the profile part made of the insulating material with a web attachment which overlaps the support of the window or door frame, which forms a leg of the receiving opening and on which the profile part made of the metallic material is supported.
  • the weather protection rail designed in accordance with the invention is not only simple in terms of its structural design and therefore also economical to produce without difficulty, but above all it also ensures a always satisfactory thermal separation and insulation in the rebate region of a window or a door.
  • a weather protection rail is composed of two interlocking profile parts, of which the profile part arranged on the outside consists of a metallic material and the other profile part consists of an insulating material, and the system for the seal is formed by a web formed on the profile part made of insulating material is, the cold-radiating metallic profile part of the weather protection rail is largely on the one hand attached outside the fold area, on the other hand, the contact surface with the profile part made of the insulating material is kept small, so that good insulation is given, almost no condensation can occur and furthermore the cold transfer to the profile part made of the insulating material is low.
  • weather protection rails of different dimensions can be assembled from the profile parts without any problems and the inventory must therefore be reduced.
  • the processing of the proposed weather protection rail and the connection of the two profile parts to one another can also be accomplished without difficulty.
  • the weather protection rail shown in FIG. 1 and designated by 11 is placed on a frame 1 of a window or a door and acts to prevent cold in the rebate area from getting into the interior of a room, together with a seal 4 which is in a groove 3 of a wing 2 is arranged.
  • the frame 1 is provided with a support 5 on which the weather protection rail 11 is supported.
  • the weather protection rail 11 is composed of two profile parts 12 and 13, of which the profile part 12 arranged on the outside of the window or the door made of a metallic material, e.g. B. made of aluminum, and the arranged on the inside of the profile part 13 made of an insulating material, for example made of polyamide.
  • a receiving opening 14 is provided in the profile part 12, which has a locking projection 16, and an extension 15 is formed on the profile part 13, which corresponds to the receiving opening 14 is adapted and intervenes in this.
  • the approach 15 is equipped with an undercut 17, which cooperates with the locking projection 16. In this way, a firm bond is given, especially since the two profile parts 12 and 13 can optionally be additionally glued in the region of the receiving opening 14.
  • the profile part 13 is further supported by means of two integrally formed webs 18 on the support 5 of the frame 1 and screwed to it by screws 6.
  • the holes 18 receiving the screws 6 are arranged in such a way that the heads 6 'of the screws 6 overlap the profile part 12 made of the metallic material in a segment-like manner, so that this should also be supported on the screws 6 if a tilting moment occurs.
  • a web 19 projecting in the direction of the wing 2 is also attached, which forms a system 2ß for the seal 4.
  • Metallic parts are therefore not in contact with each other, rather the fold area between the frame 1 and the wing 2 is isolated in a satisfactory manner.
  • a contact flange 28 is formed on the profile part 22 made of metallic material, by means of which it is supported on the support 5 of the frame 1.
  • the receiving opening 24 of the profile part 22 and the shoulder 25 of the profile part 23 are equipped with mutually associated toothings 26 and 27.
  • the weather protection rail 21 is fastened to the frame 1 by means of screws 29 which pass through the profile parts 22 and 23 in the region of the shoulder flange 28.
  • the system 30 for a seal to be arranged in a wing is again formed by a projecting web 30.
  • the receiving opening 34 is provided in the profile part 33 made of the insulating material, while the profile part 33 made of the metallic material has an extension 35 which engages in the receiving opening 34.
  • One leg of the receiving opening 34 is formed here by a web attachment 38, by means of which the weather protection rail 41 is to be supported on a frame.
