The invention relates to a cover assembly for windows and to a window having a cover assembly.
Windows typically have an outer frame, which is fastened on the building or on the structure. An opening casement having a casement frame and often having a window pane is arranged in a fixed or openable manner in this outer frame. For this purpose, the opening casement is mounted rotatably and/or tiltably on the outer frame by means of fittings.
There is furthermore a frequently known practice, especially in the case of wooden windows, of covering the outer frame and opening frame on the weather side with aluminum profiles or sometimes also plastic profiles, these then also ultimately being referred to, in the case where aluminum profiles are used, as wood-aluminum windows. There is also a known practice, in the case of plastic windows, of covering the outer frame and the opening frame with aluminum profiles on the outside. The overall intention in covering them with aluminum profiles is to increase durability while, at the same time, extending or eliminating maintenance intervals.
More recently, according to another trend, there is a desire to minimize the proportion of a window made up of the frame surface relative to the proportion of the window made up of the pane, thereby making it possible to enlarge the proportion made up of the pane surface, enlarging the area for the entry of light, thereby in principle also increasing the solar energy yield. Moreover, there is a desire among architects, for reasons of appearance, that no frame material of a window frame should be visible on the outside of the façade of a building. The intention is by this means to achieve a uniform modern appearance of the building because, apart from the outer cladding of the building, only the glass of the windows is visible.
A significant additional aspect here is also that the frame material of the window frame may have a negative effect on the thermal insulation value of the window. In some cases, therefore, very large cross sections of wood are required in the depth of the window from the outside to the inside, or window scantlings or the covering shells are provided with additional thermal insulation cores to achieve the desired thermal insulation value in the outer frames or opening frames. However, such integrated insulating materials increase production costs and, depending on the insulating material used, can also increase the cost of the subsequent disposal of the window or make it more difficult. Such windows have been disclosed by DE 101 00 101 C1 and AT 396 385 B, for example.
The problem addressed by the present invention is that of creating a cover assembly for windows and a window having a cover assembly of this kind, which can meet the requirements for weather protection, thermal insulation and a modern appearance and is/are nevertheless of simple construction and can be produced at low cost.
This problem in respect of the cover assembly is solved by the features of claim 1.
One embodiment example of the invention relates to a cover assembly for covering an outer frame, an outer frame and an opening frame, or two opening frames of at least one window, having a first profiled cover, which can be fastened on the outer frame or on one of the opening frames and by means of which an outer cladding can be fastened, wherein the profiled cover at least partly covers the outer frame, the outer frame and the at least one opening frame, or the two opening frames, wherein the outer cladding connected to the profiled cover covers the profiled cover and the outer frame, the outer frame and the opening frame, or the two opening frames. This provides a simple and low-cost cover assembly which enables an outer frame and/or an opening frame, or two opening frames to be covered with a very high-grade appearance. Here, it is possible to use a sheet-like, flat material as an outer cladding with a very high-grade appearance. As an alternative, a three dimensionally shaped material can also be used. As a further alternative, it is also possible to assemble a flat material to achieve a desired shape.
In a preferred embodiment example, it is expedient if the profiled cover has at least one first fastening element and optionally one second fastening element, by means of which the profiled cover can be connected to a frame or to an opening frame. It is thereby possible to provide a permanent and secure connection, especially in the region of the exterior of a building, which also meets the thermal and weather-related requirements in respect of stability, safety and durability.
Thus, it is also advantageous if the first fastening element and optionally the second fastening element is or are arranged on a first lateral end region of the profiled cover. Secure fastening is thereby achieved and there is no interference from other functions since the functions are distributed over the profiled cover.
It is also advantageous if the profiled cover has a third fastening element, by means of which the outer cladding can be connected to the profiled cover. In this way, secure connection to the outer cladding is achieved. Here, the term “outer cladding” is intended to indicate that the cladding is arranged on the outside of the profiled cover, i.e. away from the window. In this case, the outer cladding can be arranged both on an exterior side of a building and on an interior side of a building.
It is also preferred if the third fastening element is arranged on a second lateral end region of the profiled cover. In this way, the fastening of the profiled cover itself is separated spatially from the connection of the outer cladding.
It is also particularly advantageous if the profiled cover has a fourth fastening element and optionally a fifth fastening element, by means of which a first sealing element and optionally a second sealing element can be connected to the profiled cover. It is thereby possible to seal off the window with respect to the outside.
According to another concept according to the invention, it is also advantageous if a fastening profile and/or a second profiled cover are/is furthermore provided. It is thereby possible to fasten an outer cladding in the manner required, such as on a building connection, on an outer frame or on an opening frame or on several outer frames in a bridging manner or on several opening frames in a bridging manner.
It is also advantageous if the fastening profile and/or the second profiled cover have/has at least one first fastening element and one second fastening element. This serves to fasten the fastening profile or the second profiled cover itself and/or to fasten the outer cladding.
Thus, it is also advantageous if the first fastening element of the fastening profile and/or of the second profiled cover serves to connect the fastening profile and/or the second profiled cover to an outer frame or to an opening frame.
It is also advantageous if the second fastening element of the fastening profile and/or of the second profiled cover serves to connect an outer cladding to the fastening profile and/or to the second profiled cover.
It is likewise preferred if at least one of the fastening elements is provided as at least one web and/or at least one pocket. This makes assembly simple and enables the profiled cover and/or the fastening profile to be produced in a simple manner. For example, a profile of this kind can be produced as an extruded profile made of plastic or of metal, e.g. aluminum.
It is also advantageous if the at least one web projects in a lateral direction or in a normal direction, wherein the lateral direction lies in a plane which is defined by the window surface of the window and the normal direction is aligned perpendicularly to the window surface. This allows secure fastening, especially if one web projects in the lateral direction and a second web in a normal direction. Thus, fastening diagonally on an outer frame or on an opening frame or in some other way would be possible.
It is also advantageous if the window surface is defined by a pane or by an insert which is arranged in an outer frame or in an opening frame.
It is also advantageous if the at least one pocket is of open design in a lateral direction or in a normal direction. It would thereby also be possible to achieve secure and space-saving fastening, especially of the outer cladding.
It is furthermore expedient if a filling and/or insulating material is arranged between the outer cladding and the outer frame and/or the opening frame and/or the profiled cover and/or the fastening profile. This makes it easier to comply with energy parameters on the building and excessively large cavities, which are in many respects disadvantageous, would not be formed.
It is also advantageous if the outer cladding has an element which is aligned substantially normally to the window surface and by means of the extent of which the space for a filling and/or insulating material can be specified.
The outer cladding can advantageously be composed of one of the following materials or mixtures or compositions thereof: metal, aluminum, plastic, wood and/or glass. This may advantageously also be considered to be an independent invention which could be interpreted independently of the features of independent claim 1.
It is furthermore advantageous if the profiled cover has openings, such as holes or slots or the like, for draining water, such as condensate and/or rainwater. This may advantageously also be considered to be an independent invention which could be interpreted independently of the features of independent claim 1.
The problem in respect of the window having a cover assembly is solved by the features of claim 19.
An embodiment example of the invention relates to a window, in particular a window having an outer frame and/or, in particular, having at least one opening frame, wherein a cover assembly as claimed in any one of the preceding claims is provided.
It is particularly advantageous if a drainage device is integrated into the outer cladding and/or into at least one profiled cover in order to enable water that arises to be drained out of the outer cladding and/or out of the at least one profiled cover.
Thus, it is expedient if the drainage device has at least one tube, which is let into the outer cladding and/or into at least one profiled cover and carries water out of the outer cladding and/or out of the at least one profiled cover.
The invention also advantageously relates to a window, in particular a window having an outer frame and/or, in particular, having at least one opening frame, wherein an additional element is inserted into or connected to the outer frame and/or the opening frame in order to increase the stability of the outer frame and/or of the opening frame. This is advantageous particularly if the dimensions of the profile of the outer frame and/or of the opening frame are reduced to give a narrow appearance.
It is also advantageous here if the additional element is a reinforcing profile, which is preferably composed of metal and is connected to the outer frame and/or to the opening frame and, in particular, is inserted into a recess in the outer frame and/or in the opening frame. This may advantageously also be considered to be an independent invention which could be interpreted independently of the features of independent claim 19.
Further advantageous embodiments are described by the following description of the figures and by the dependent claims.
The invention is explained in greater detail below on the basis of at least one illustrative embodiment with reference to the figures of the drawing. In the drawing:
The window 1 has an outer frame 4, which is arranged in the opening 2 of the building 3 and is connected in a fixed manner to the building 3 in order to position the window 1 in a sealed manner in the opening 2 of the building. To seal off the window 1 with respect to the building 3, a sealing element 8 is provided, which rests in a sealing manner both against the outer frame 4 and against the housing in an interspace between the outer frame 4 and the housing 3. The outer frame 4 is formed by outer frame profiles 6, which are connected to one another and form the outer frame 4 as a frame-type element.
The window 1 also has an opening frame 5, which is arranged in the outer frame 4. For this purpose, the opening frame 5 can be arranged movably in the outer frame 4, in particular can be arranged tiltably and/or pivotably and/or slidably. In the present embodiment example in
It is advantageous if the outer frame profiles 6 of the outer frame 4 and/or the opening frame profiles 7 of the opening frame 5 are made of wood, plastic, metal, such as aluminum or the like, or of any combination of such materials or from mixtures of such materials in the form of hybrid or composite materials. Reinforcing additions, such as fiber components, cores etc., may also be provided.
The opening frame 5 has a recess 10, which is open on one side for insertion of a pane 11, which is held in the recess 10 by means of the holding element 12. For this purpose, the holding element 12 is screwed to the opening frame 5, for example, see the screw 13. The pane 11 is arranged in a manner sealed with respect to the opening frame 5, for which purpose a seal 14 is provided between the pane 11 and the opening frame 5.
Arranged on the outside of the outer frame 4 is a profiled cover 15, which is firmly connected to the outer frame and extends laterally from the outer frame 4, via the opening frame 5, to an edge region of the pane 11 and likewise covers this edge region of the pane 11.
Visible in
The profiled cover 15 is configured in such a way that it has at least one fastening element 18 in one of its two lateral end regions 20, in the present embodiment example the profiled cover 15 has two fastening elements 18, in the lateral end region 20. However, it is also possible for more than two such fastening elements 18, 19 to be provided. The fastening element or fastening elements 18, are used to fasten the profiled cover 15 on the outer frame 4.
Here, the lateral direction 21 is defined as the direction which is parallel to the plane of the pane 11. The normal direction 22 is defined as the direction which is aligned perpendicularly to the plane of the pane 11.
In this case, fastening element 18 is perpendicular to fasting element 19, thus enabling the two fastening elements 18, 19 to be screwed on in one corner of the outer frame 4. As an alternative to screw fastening, it is also possible to use some other connection method, e.g. riveting, clipping or adhesive bonding etc. For this purpose, correspondingly suitable connection elements can be used instead of the screws 13 illustrated.
A further, third fastening element 24, which is used to fasten an outer cladding 16, for example, is provided in the other lateral end region 23. Here, the third fastening element 24 is designed as a pocket, which is of open design on one side in the normal direction 22. An element of the outer cladding or a fastening element, for example, can engage in this pocket in order to fasten the outer cladding. The pocket is preferably a groove in the profiled cover 15.
A fourth fastening element 25, which is used to fasten a sealing element 26, for example, is provided adjacent to the third fastening element 24. Here, the fourth fastening element 25 is designed as a pocket, which is of open design on one side in the normal direction 22 and is of open design toward the pane 11. An element of the sealing element 26, for example, can engage in this pocket in order to fasten the sealing element 26 on the profiled cover 15. This pocket is preferably a groove in the profiled cover 15. The sealing element 26 serves to rest against the pane 11 when the window is closed.
A fifth fastening element 27, which is used to fasten a sealing element 28, for example, is furthermore provided in the first lateral end region 20. Here, the fifth fastening element 27 is designed as a pocket, which is of open design on one side in the lateral direction 21 and is of open design toward the opening frame 5. An element of the sealing element 28, for example, can engage in this pocket in order to secure the sealing element 28 on the profiled cover 15. This pocket is preferably a groove in the profiled cover 15. The sealing element 28 serves to rest against the outer frame 4 and against the opening frame 5 when the window is closed.
A straight section 29 of the profiled cover 15, which is arranged opposite the holding element 12 and covers the latter, is provided between the fourth fastening element 25 and the fifth fastening element 27.
The outer cladding 16, together with the profiled cover 15, covers the entire window frame with the outer frame 4 and the opening frame 5 when viewed from the outside, with the result that, when viewed from the outside, the building 3 is provided with windows which are installed without visible frames.
The third fastening element 124, which is arranged in the other lateral end region 23 and is used to fasten an outer cladding 16, for example, is likewise designed as a pocket but is of open design on one side in the lateral direction 21. An element of the outer cladding 16 or a fastening element, for example, can engage on or in this pocket in order to fasten the outer cladding 16. The pocket is preferably a groove in the profiled cover 15. In
The profiled covers 15 are accordingly configured in such a way that an end profile or a receiving profile, i.e. an open fastening element 24, 124 as a receptacle or as a bearing surface, is provided for this purpose in the end region of the overlap.
The outer claddings can be fastened on the profiled cover 15 of the outer frame 4 in various ways, being screwed or clipped etc., for example. The profiled cover 15 can preferably be fastened on the outside of the outer frame 4 or of the outer frame profile 6 or from the inside thereof. Fastening on the outside has the advantage that manufacturing tolerances do not weigh as heavily. Fastening on the inside has the advantage that additional regions of the outer frame profile 6 can be protected against moisture. As a result, the illustrated seal 28 would not have to project so far outward and the profiled cover could possibly also be of simpler configuration.

The visible width of the outer frame is thereby kept as small as possible. This ensures a minimum visible width of the window frame, especially in the case of coupled windows like those shown in
The window 1001 has a first window casement 1002 having an opening frame 1003 and a further window casement 1004 with a further opening frame 1005, wherein the two opening frames 1003, 1005 are shown in the astragal region without an intermediate pillar arranged in between.
A surrounding outer frame is typically arranged around the opening frames 1003, 1005 shown, but this outer frame is not shown. The window 1001 has a first opening frame 1003, which is arranged movably, e.g. in particular tiltably and/or pivotably and/or slidably, in particular in an outer frame that is not shown. The window 1001 furthermore has a second opening frame 1005, which is likewise arranged movably, e.g. in particular tiltably and/or pivotably and/or slidably, in particular in the outer frame that is not shown.
In the present embodiment example in
It is advantageous if the opening frame profiles 1006, 1007 of the opening frame 1003, 1005 are made of wood, plastic, metal, such as aluminum or the like, or of any combination of such materials or from mixtures of such materials in the form of hybrid or composite materials. Reinforcing additions, such as fiber components, cores etc., may also be provided.
The opening frame 1003, 1005 in each case has a recess 1010, which is open on one side for insertion of a pane 1011, which is held in the recess 1010 by means of the holding element 1012. For this purpose, the holding element 1012 is screwed to the opening frame 1003, for example, see the screw 1013, or is adhesively bonded to the opening frame 1005. The respective pane 1011 is arranged in a manner sealed with respect to the respective opening frame 1003, 1005, for which purpose a seal 1014 is in each case provided between the respective pane 1011 and the respective opening frame 1003, 1005.
Arranged on the outside of the opening frame 1005 is a first profiled cover 1015 and a second profiled cover 1050, which are each firmly connected to the opening frame 1005 and extend laterally from the opening frame 1005. In this case, the first profiled cover 1015 also extends via the opening frame 1003 as far as an edge region of the pane 1011, which is likewise covered.

The fastening element or fastening elements 1018, 1019 are used to fasten the first profiled cover 1015 on the opening frame 1005.
Here, the lateral direction 1021 is defined as the direction which is parallel to the plane of the panes 1011. The normal direction 1022 is defined as the direction which is aligned perpendicularly to the plane of the panes 1011.
In this case, fastening element 1018 is perpendicular to fasting element 1019, thus enabling the two fastening elements 1018, 1019 to be screwed on in one corner of the opening frame 1005. As an alternative to screw fastening, it is also possible to use some other connection method, e.g. riveting, clipping or adhesive bonding etc. For this purpose, correspondingly suitable connection elements can be used instead of the screws illustrated.
A further, third fastening element 1024, which is used to fasten the outer cladding 1016, for example, is provided in the other lateral end region 1023 of the first profiled cover 1015. Here, the third fastening element 1024 is designed as a pocket, which is of open design on one side in the lateral direction 1021. An element or section of the outer cladding 1016 or a fastening element, for example, can engage in this pocket in order to fasten the outer cladding 1016. The pocket is preferably a groove in the first profiled cover 1015.
The second profiled cover 1050 is configured in such a way that it has at least one fastening element 1052 in one of its two lateral end regions 1051. In the present embodiment example, the first profiled cover 1015 also has just one fastening element 1052 in the lateral end region 1051. However, it is also possible for more than one such fastening element 1052 to be provided. The fastening element 1052 is used to fasten the second profiled cover 1050 on the opening frame 1005.

The outer frame 1204 is formed by outer frame profiles 1206, which are connected to one another and form the outer frame 1204 as a frame-type element.
In this embodiment example, the window 1201 does not have an opening frame, which is arranged in the outer frame. In the present embodiment example in
It is advantageous if the outer frame profiles 1206 of the outer frame 1204 are made of wood, plastic, metal, such as aluminum or the like, or of any combination of such materials or from mixtures of such materials in the form of hybrid or composite materials. Reinforcing additions, such as fiber components, cores etc., may also be provided.
The outer frame 1204 has a recess 1210 for insertion of a pane 1211, which is held in the recess 1210 by means of the holding element 1212. For this purpose, the holding element 1212 is screwed to the outer frame 1204, for example, see the screw 1213. The pane 1211 is arranged in a manner sealed with respect to the outer frame 1204, for which purpose a seal 1214 is provided between the pane 1211 and the outer frame 1204.
Arranged on the outside of the outer frame 1204 is a profiled cover 1215, which is firmly connected to the outer frame 1204 and extends laterally from the outer frame 1204 to an edge region of the pane 1211 and likewise covers this edge region of the pane 1211.

The profiled cover 1215 is configured in such a way that it has at least one fastening element 1218 in one of its two lateral end regions 1220, in the present embodiment example the profiled cover 1215 has two fastening elements 1218, 1219 in the lateral end region 1220. However, it is also possible for more than two such fastening elements 1218, 1219 to be provided. The fastening element or fastening elements 1218, 1219 are used to fasten the profiled cover 1215 on the outer frame 1204.
Here, the lateral direction 1221 is defined as the direction which is parallel to the plane of the pane 1211. The normal direction 1222 is defined as the direction which is aligned perpendicularly, i.e. normally, to the plane of the pane 1211.
In this case, fastening element 1218 is perpendicular to fasting element 1219, thus enabling the two fastening elements 1218, 1219 to be screwed on in one corner of the outer frame 1204. As an alternative to screw fastening, it is also possible to use some other connection method, e.g. riveting, clipping or adhesive bonding etc. For this purpose, correspondingly suitable connection elements can be used instead of the screws 1213 illustrated.
