That edge of the cap 25 is then pushed up until the cap 25 on the recessed Flange edge 33 of the mounting rail 26 strikes.
  • This flange edge can be drilled or have the same or it can be coated with an adhesive or can be pierced be so that the sealing cap 25 resting thereon at this flange edge 33 can be attached.
  • Figure 11 shows a slightly different embodiment, in which a mounting rail 27 a U-shaped receptacle 34 for the edge or the edge of a sealing cover 25 has.
  • the rail 27 is therefore with its U-shaped receptacle 34 on the edge of a appropriate cover 25 slid on and then the opposite, free edge of the closure lid 25 inserted into the groove 32 of a window frame 31, such as it is shown in Figure 11.
  • FIG. 12 shows yet another fastening rail 35 for a sealing bead 19.
  • the fastening rail 35 is essentially L-shaped and has a lower rail section on which in turn the pins 9a, 9b are fastened in such a way that they fit into a groove 17 an outer wall 4 can be inserted if the rail 35 fits with the lower Edge profile 16 is aligned.
  • a sealing bead 19 is attached, which the space between the Outer surface of a roller shutter 30 and the inner surface of the outer wall 4 of the roller shutter box bridged. In this way it is prevented that any drafts in the cavity 1 of the Roller shutter box penetrates.
  • the end plate 5 is made of plastic, namely thin-walled Plastic and it has cavities (not shown in the figures) for receiving Thermal insulation material. You no longer need nails through the walls of the roller shutter box to be driven through to attach any parts, so that thereby also thermal bridges be avoided.
  • the lower end profiles 6 and 16 are at least very in shape simple plaster end rails available anyway, these plaster end rails are conventional only from the lower, horizontal rail section and possibly one more Anchoring section consist of the polystyrene material from the outer wall 4 or inner wall 2 is embedded.
  • edge profiles 6 and 16 are somewhat more complex than they are additionally have the downwardly open, undercut groove 7 or 17, the undercut is simply formed by inwardly projecting groove edges.
  • the upright and anchoring parts with inwardly bent edges ensure a firm connection this edge profiles 6 and 16 with the polystyrene material of the outer and inner wall of the Roller shutter box.
  • the edge profiles 6 and 16 typically consist of thin-walled aluminum material, but of course they can also be made of plastic or any other Material.
