Description

Threshold

technical field

The invention relates to a sill, in particular for sliding doors or windows, comprising a base profile and a cover profile.

Background technique

Such a sill is known, for example, from GB 2 297 112 A. The bottom sill has a base profile on which a cover sill is seated. Ribs supporting the covering sill are arranged on the covering sill. In this case, the cover sill is designed in the form of a roof, so that it cannot be used as a bottom sill for sliding doors or sliding windows. Furthermore, the covering sill becomes difficult to manufacture since the ribs must be installed separately.

Contents of the invention

It is an object of the invention to provide a sill which is suitable for use with sliding doors or windows and which allows simple drainage of the sill.

According to the invention, this object is achieved by a sill, in particular for sliding doors or windows, which sill comprises a base profile and a cover profile, wherein between the base profile and the cover profile a plurality of Insert supports which are oriented transversely to the longitudinal direction of the sill and which support the covering profile. Whereas the sills known from the prior art for sliding doors and windows have ribs oriented longitudinally along the sill for load-bearing purposes, in the sill according to the invention the ribs are oriented transversely to the longitudinal direction, so that Drainage of the sill is simplified. Since the insert support is a separate component that can be inserted into the base profile, the production of not only the base profile but also the cover profile becomes extremely simple. In particular these profiles can be produced by extrusion. By using inset supports, it is also possible to provide a different number of inset supports depending on the length of the sill. An adaptation to the weight of the sliding window or sliding door to be used can also be achieved by changing the distance between the individual insert supports. For example, a smaller spacing can be chosen when higher loads are expected. As a result, the sill according to the invention can be adapted very well to the sliding window or the sliding door to be used. In addition, manufacturing becomes particularly simple and efficient.

It is particularly preferred that the inlay supports have a defined distance from one another. It is particularly advantageous if the same spacing is always provided between adjacent insert supports. This achieves a uniform load transfer of the sliding window or sliding door.

Other advantages are obtained if adjacent embedded supports are spaced apart by at least one spacer. Preferably, the embedded supports are spaced apart by two equally long spacers. This ensures that the insertion supports are oriented parallel to one another. The use of spacers of the same length also ensures that all insert supports are at the same distance from one another. In addition, the spacers make assembly easy because the assembler does not have to measure the spacing between embedded supports. The spacing is predetermined by the spacer.

In this case, the spacers can be designed to be tensile or compressively rigid. In particular, the spacers can be configured to be rigid in the longitudinal direction.

If at least two insert supports are connected to one another, unintentional movement of these insert supports relative to one another can be prevented. In addition, a particularly simple storage and transport of the insert supports before their use in the sill is made possible.

At least two embedded supports are detachably connectable to each other. For example, two insert supports can be snapped into each other. In addition, a predetermined breaking point can also be provided, so that the embedded supports can be separated from each other at the predetermined breaking point.

For example, multiple embedded supports may be interconnected. Depending on the length of the sill for which the inlay support is to be used, the connected inlay support chain can be cut to length accordingly, for example by breaking off the rated breaking point, so that it is adapted to the length of the sill. In this way, the assembly of the sill is particularly simple, since the interconnected insert supports, which are now overall of suitable length, can be simply inserted into the sill without them having to be aligned with each other or Insert each individually.

According to a further embodiment, it can be provided that at least one spacer is fixedly connected to the first insert support and latches with the second insert support. In this case, the spacer is preferably of rigid design. By snapping the spacer into the second insert support, the insert supports are connected to one another and are kept at a defined distance from one another. In addition, a different number of insert supports can be locked into one another, so that an adaptation to the length of the sill is possible. Optionally, the locking mechanism can be designed in such a way that in this position a pivotal connection between the spacer and the insert support is produced. In this way, the interconnected embedded supports can be rolled up. As a result, the insert support can be stored and transported in a particularly space-saving manner.

Additional advantages are obtained if the embedded supports are connected to each other by flexible connecting elements. In this way, there is the possibility of rolling up the interconnected insert supports, whereby the above-mentioned advantages are obtained. Insertion of the insert support is also made easier in this way, since the already rolled insert support can be simply unwound (unrolled) and thus inserted into the basic profile.

For example, embedded supports may be interconnected by straps or cords. It is particularly preferred that the embedded supports are connected to each other by two parallel straps or cords. The defined spacing is also maintained and fixed by tensioning the strap or cord between the two embedded supports.

As an alternative, it is conceivable that the insert supports are connected to one another by means of film hinges. It is also conceivable that an inherently rigid spacer is connected at one end via a film hinge to an insert support and can be latched with the other end to a further insert support. In this way, the insert supports that are likewise interlocked, or whose spacers are engaged with the other insert supports, can be rolled up and unwound.

In a further embodiment of the invention it can be provided that at least one spacer is flexurally elastic. In this way it is also possible to roll up the interconnected insert supports. The spacers may be rigid or stiff as viewed in the longitudinal direction.

It is particularly preferred if the basic profile is configured in the form of a channel without partitions. Drainage from the base profile can thus be realized particularly easily. In particular, stagnant water can be avoided. The embedded supports oriented transversely to the longitudinal direction do not prevent lateral drainage from the basic profile.

Furthermore, the channel-shaped basic profile can also be produced particularly simply, for example by means of extrusion.

At least one slide rail for the sliding leaf can be attached to the cover profile and can be screwed to the cover profile and at least one embedded support arranged therebeneath. It is advantageous here if the covering profile is flat, in particular has a flat, horizontally oriented surface. One or more slide rails can be placed on this surface, which can then be screwed together from above. In this case, the bolts are preferably arranged at a distance which corresponds to the distance of the individual insert supports. In this way a great stability is achieved.

In order to avoid puddles due to rainwater, the covering profile has drainage holes or drainage slots. Falling water can thus flow through the cover profile into the door (window) sill/basic profile. Preferably the base profile has at least one opening to which a drain hose can be connected. Water falling into the basic profile can thereby be drained off in a controlled manner. A thread can be provided in the region of the opening so that a corresponding hose connection can be screwed in.

The sill can be produced particularly economically if the base profile and/or the cover profile are extruded or pultruded.

detailed description

FIG. 1 shows a sill 1 with a base profile 2 and a cover profile 3 . An embedded support 4 is arranged between the basic profile 2 and the covering profile 3 , which will be described in detail later. The inlay support 4 is oriented transversely to the longitudinal direction of the sill 1 , so that water entering the sill through the drainage holes or drainage slots in the covering profile can escape parallel to the inlay support 4 , as indicated by the arrows 5 , 6 as indicated. The outflow of water is facilitated in that the basic profile 2 has a section 2.1 which is oriented obliquely to the horizontal. In order to compensate for this inclination, the insert support 4 is wedge-shaped at least in one section, so that the covering profile 3 has a flat, horizontally oriented surface 7 .

Drainage of the basic profile 2 can be carried out at position 8 by machining a corresponding hole. A drain hose can also be connected here.

FIG. 2 shows a perspective view of the embedded support 4 . The embedded support 4 is provided with two spacers 10 , 11 , which are rigid viewed in their longitudinal direction, but flexurally elastic. In particular, the embedded support 4 is integrally connected with the spacers 10 , 11 . The insert support 4 can be produced together with the spacers 10 , 11 by injection molding. The spacers 10 , 11 have detent heads 12 , 13 at their free ends, with which they can be detented with the other insert support 4 . For this purpose, the insert support 4 also has detent recesses 14 , 15 . It can be seen that the detent recesses 14 , 15 have pin-shaped elements 16 , 17 . According to this, when fastening the locking heads 12, 13 on the locking recesses 14, 15, a certain pivoting movement can be achieved about the elements 16, 17, which makes it possible to roll up a plurality of connected embedded supports 4 made easy. A defined distance between two adjacent insert supports 4 is fixed by spacers 10 , 11 .

It can be seen from FIG. 3 that a plurality of insert supports 4 can be connected to one another via spacers 10 , 11 , in particular snap-locked. In particular, a plurality of embedded supports 4 can be connected to each other in the manner of a chain. Manufacturing of the sill is thus simplified. The interconnected insert supports 4 can be unfolded and thus inserted into the channel-shaped basic profile 2 . It can be seen from FIG. 3 that the basic profile 2 has no longitudinal ribs on its upper side (except at the front and rear ends). As a result, water can flow unhindered between the insert supports 4 to the lowest point of the basic profile 2 . For drainage, drainage openings (not shown here) can be provided in the front longitudinal ribs 20 .

According to FIG. 4 , the individual insert supports 4 are inserted completely into the base profile 2 . The cover profile 3 can then be installed, as can be seen in FIG. 5 . After the insertion support 4 has been inserted, the cover profile 3 can be snapped or pushed onto the base profile 2 . The covering profile 2 can be supported on the base profile 2 by means of embedded supports 4 .

Preferably, the upper sides of the spacers 10 , 11 are flush with the upper side of the inlay support 4 , so that the covering profile 3 is thereby additionally supported.

The spacers 10 , 11 always ensure the same spacing of the insert supports 4 from each other. If the insert supports 4 are arranged in a series on the belt at the same distance from one another, they (spacers) can also be omitted. For space-saving storage and transport, the insert support 4 can be rolled up like a chain. The embedded support 4 undertakes the task of transmitting loads across its wall thickness along the length of the sill (window).

It can be seen from FIG. 6 how a plurality of insert supports 4 interconnected by spacers 10 , 11 can be rolled up. It can also be seen here that the spacers 10 , 11 are flexurally elastic. Furthermore, it can also be seen here that the insert support 4 has a substantially U-shaped cross section. As a result, great stability of the embedded support 4 can be achieved while using less material.
