  • Another montage is from the German one Utility model DE 29622922 U1 known. There they are Actuators on the outside of the window frame or Window sash mounted. This makes the engine lighter accessible, for example during repairs or Maintenance is an advantage. It is also basically a subsequent installation of such actuators possible.
  • the object of the invention is to provide a housing for To describe actuators that are as universal as possible can be used with different window profiles can, a reduced variety of types of actuators enables and moreover in the outline a visually appealing window surface.
  • the housing at least one mounting profile for fastening the Actuator and a cover profile to cover the Actuator, with at least one of the Profiles preferably designed as an extruded profile is.
  • the indirect attachment of the actuator under Interposition of the mounting profile allows the Outside of the mounting profile to the multitude existing window profiles can be adjusted without take the outer contour of the actuators into account to have to.
  • the side facing the actuators the mounting profile can be shaped so that it regardless of the window profiles for fastening standardized actuators can serve.
  • the Design of the mounting profile as an extruded profile finally enables a particularly inexpensive Manufacturing.
  • the adaptation of the mounting profile to the individual dimensions of a window can by easy adjustment of the cut-off dimension when cutting of the extruded profile can be achieved.
  • the necessary Functional parts are aesthetically provided under the intended Cover profile hidden, so that the invention designed housing inconspicuously in the window structure inserts.
  • the cover profile is preferably U-shaped educated. The only part of it is a appropriate color scheme adapted to the window facade. The other parts do not require painting.
  • All-round protection of the actuators is achieved in that at least one side end cap is provided.
  • This end cap is preferably as Injection molded part in a color matched Plastic designed.
  • the cover profile and the mounting profile advantageously have coordinated form elements that create a joint of the two parts by sliding and snapping into place enable.
  • a holding profile for Bracket of the actuator is provided is preferably designed as an extruded profile.
  • the holding profile has a contour has that on lateral form elements of the Actuator are adapted and to accommodate this will serve to facilitate the assembly of the actuators, so that the variety of types is further advantageously reduced becomes.
  • the holding profile can be used for different Use actuators, i.e. for both Actuators that operate the supply and Unlocking elements of the window serve as well the actuators that tilt and close the Window.
  • the actuator is designed and preferably as round opening is shaped.
  • the actuator for the Tilting movement can thus be a swivel movement to the shifting of the articulation point when tilting the Adjust window.
  • a Actuator is provided, the housing of which to the Bearing part of the holding profile adapted bearing element has, which is preferably designed as a pin.
  • the actuator for operating the supply and Unlocking mechanisms in the window sash are said to be maintain relative position to the casement.
  • another part of the Contour of the holding profile as part of a polygon fixed recording of a corresponding housing part of the Actuator is shaped, preferably as part of a Rectangle is shaped, especially as a U-shaped Extruded profile.
  • the axially parallel mounting of the profiles can be done without adjustment done when the mounting profile and the holding profile coordinated tongue and groove elements for has mutual fixation.
  • the location of the parts is determined by the location of the groove and Spring elements determined. A time-consuming measure and scribing of the parts can thus advantageously be omitted.
  • groove and / or the tongue of the holding profile and / or assembly profile are arranged off-center, can with the opposite orientation of the parts another relative axial position to each other be specified by the tongue and groove. This Possibility for different assembly situations utilized.
  • a clean installation of the mounting profile on the Window profile is achieved in that the Mounting profile two spaced baseboards having.
  • the mounting profile is supported by this Skirting on the window profile.
  • the holes for attaching the mounting profile to the Window sash profiles can be used without further help be introduced if the mounting profile and / or the Retaining profile marking grooves for easier drilling of mounting holes.
  • the provided Marking grooves indicate the position of the hole in the correct axis position. In the other direction it is Location of the hole less important.
  • the task also solves a window with at least one Actuator in a housing in which the actuator is attached to a mounting profile that on a Window sash of a building window is attached.
  • the mounting profile is advantageous on one Installed inside the window sash.
  • the actuators can be hidden particularly inconspicuously if the mounting profile from a cover profile is covered, which extends over the entire side length of the Window sash extends.
  • the housing according to the invention shown in Figure 1 is made essentially from a monthly profile 1, a Cover profile 2, two side end plates 3 and several holding profiles 4.
  • a Actuator is as a locking drive 5 and a other than chain drive 6 for tilting the window educated.
  • the two drives differ because they serve different purposes, both internally Structure as well as externally.
  • the chain drive for example, is used to tilt the Window. It is necessary that this drive can swivel as the drive is on a Circular arc with the tilting Fesner moves while the pivot point on the frame remains fixed.
  • Figure 2 shows such a pivoted chain drive within the housing according to the invention as a section.
  • the chain of the Drive is at its chain end 7 with that illustrated window sash connected.
  • When tilting the drive 6 moves on a circular arc, so that the chain drive 6 also pivots.
  • it is Holding profile with a circular bearing opening 8 provided, in which a laterally on the housing of the Actuator mounted bearing pin 9 engages.
