WINDOW OR DOOR HAVING AN ACTIVELY PRESSING SEAL AND METHOD FOR CLOSING SAID WINDOW OR DOOR

Abstract

A window or door includes a fixed frame with a first sash arranged displaceable thereon. A seal is arranged on the fixed frame, the sealing lip of which can be moved or pivoted and pressed onto the front or rear of the first sash. The moving process can be carried out by at least one first trigger element or by a plurality of trigger elements. The first trigger element or the trigger elements can be actuated by a first projection or a plurality of projections. A first wedge seal can be provided between the first sash and the fixed frame, which is preferably wedge-shaped both in the main plane of the frame and perpendicular to the main plane of the frame. Between two sashes, in the region of the central break, L-shaped seals can be provided which engage one behind the other in the closed state of the two sashes.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS

[0066] FIG. 1 shows a window 10 from the inside having a fixed frame 12, a first sash 14a, and a second sash 14b. The first sash 14a can be displaced downward in the closing direction 16a, the second sash 14b can be displaced upward in the closing direction 16b. The displacement of the first sash 14a and/or the displacement of the second sash 14b preferably takes place completely within the fixed frame 12. The window 10 is completely closed in FIG. 1, i.e., both sashes 14a, b are closed. The second sash 14b could also be designed in the form of an immovable fixed field.

[0067] FIG. 2 shows the window 10 with the first sash 14a partially open. From FIG. 2, it can be seen that the fixed frame 12 extends in a central main plane 18 of the frame.

[0068] FIG. 3 shows part of the window 10 having the first sash 14a. The first sash 14a is laterally sealed by a seal 20 that can be pivoted in itself. The first sash 14a is sealed on the underside by a static seal 22. A molded corner part 24 is provided between the pivotable seal 20 and the static seal 22.

[0069] FIG. 4 shows the first sash 14a with the static seal 22 in a detailed representation.

[0070] FIG. 5 and FIG. 6 show the seal 20 with a fastening element 26 that can be fastened to the fixed frame 12 (see FIG. 1), a holding element 28 with a sealing lip 30, a joint 32 for pivoting the holding element 28 with respect to the fastening element 26, a first trigger element 34a, a second trigger element 34b, and a third trigger element 34c.

[0071] FIG. 7 shows the window 10 with the first sash 14a, on which a first projection 36a for actuating the first trigger element 34a, a second projection 36b for actuating the second trigger element 34b and a third projection 36c for actuating the third trigger element 34c are arranged. The second trigger element 34b is formed longer than the third trigger element 34c. The first trigger element 34a is formed longer than the second trigger element 34b. The second projection 36b is correspondingly further spaced from the central main plane 18 of the frame and/or the holding element 28 than the third projection 36c. The first projection 36a is correspondingly further spaced from the central main plane 18 of the frame and/or the holding element 28 than the second projection 36b. As a result, the plurality of trigger elements 34a-c, in this case three trigger elements 34a-c, are actuated simultaneously, but only shortly before the first sash 14a is completely closed.

[0072] FIG. 8 shows a part of the window 10, from which it can be seen that the first projection 36a is designed so as to be ramp-shaped for simple actuation of the first trigger element 34a. The first projection 36a is not yet in contact with the first trigger element 34a.

[0073] FIG. 9a and FIG. 9b show the window 10, the first projection 36a being in contact with the first trigger element 34a. As a result, the sealing lip 30 is pivoted toward the first sash 14a.

[0074] FIG. 10a and FIG. 10b correspond to FIGS. 9a and 9b, the first projection 36a being in complete contact with the first trigger element 34a, so that the sealing lip 30 is pressed onto the first sash 14a and reliably seals it.

[0075] FIG. 11a and FIG. 11b show in a synopsis the window 10 in the region of the central break 38 between the sashes 14a, b. The first sash 14a has a first sealing part 40a, which thickens in a wedge-shaped manner counter to the closing direction 16a parallel to the main plane 18 of the frame. The second sash 14b has a second sealing part 40b, which thickens in a wedge-shaped manner counter to the closing direction 16b parallel to the main plane 18 of the frame. From FIG. 11b, it can also be seen that the sealing parts 40a, b thicken in a wedge-shaped manner not only parallel to the main plane 18 of the frame, but also perpendicular to the main plane 18 of the frame against the closing direction 16a or 16b.

[0076] FIG. 12 shows a third sealing part 40c with slopes which correspond to the slopes of the sealing parts 40a, b. The third sealing part 40c can be designed in multiple parts. However, as in the present case, it is preferably designed in one piece.

[0077] FIG. 13a and FIG. 13b show part of the window 10 in the region of the central break 38, the sealing parts 40a-c forming a first wedge seal 42a between the first sash 14a and the fixed frame 12 (see FIG. 1) and forming a second wedge seal 42b between the second sash 14b and the fixed frame 12.

[0078] FIG. 14 is a partial sectional view of the window 10 in the region of the central break 38. From FIG. 14, it can be seen that the first sash 14a has a first seal 44a which is L-shaped in cross section and the second sash 14b has a second seal 44b which is L-shaped in cross section. The two seals 44a, b which are L-shaped in cross section engage behind one another in the closed state of the two sashes 14a, b.

[0079] Taking all the figures of the drawing together, the invention relates in summary to a window 10 or door having a fixed frame 12 and to a first sash 14a arranged displaceable thereon. A seal 20 is arranged or formed on the fixed frame 12, the sealing lip 30 of which can be moved, in particular pivoted, and pressed onto the first sash 14a, in particular onto the front or rear of the first sash 14a. The moving, in particular pivoting, process can be carried out by at least one first trigger element 34a, in particular by a plurality of trigger elements 34a-c. The first trigger element 34a or the trigger elements 34a-c can be actuated by a first projection 36a or a plurality of projections 36a-c. A first wedge seal 42a can be provided between the first sash 14a and the fixed frame 12, which is preferably wedge-shaped both in the main plane of the frame 18 and perpendicular to the main plane 18 of the frame 12. Between two sashes 14a, b, in the region of the central break 38, seals 44a, b which are L-shaped in cross section can be provided, which engage behind one another in the closed state of the two sashes 14a, b.
