Description

Sealing strip for a facade and/or a roof

The invention relates to a sealing strip for a facade and/or a roof with a metal framework, in particular a glass support sealing strip for a facade and/or a roof with a metal framework, the frame fields of which can preferably be provided with insulating glass panes, according to the preamble of claim 1.

Despite improved thermal insulation of glass panes and panels for transom/post facades and skylight constructions as well as for verandas, the collection of condensate in the edge area of the pane and its removal is still of particular importance.

Particularly in the case of sloping roof surfaces or facade surfaces that are inclined horizontally, it is necessary to collect and drain the condensate in the lower area of the sloping surface. The horizontal or sloping transom profiles are mainly affected by the running or dripping condensate.

The generic German patent DE 34 19 538 describes a facade and a roof in a metal-glass design, in which the mullion and transom profiles each have condensate gutters arranged on both sides of the side edges.

The levels of the condensate gutters are arranged in such a way that when the transom profile is connected to the post profile, the groove base of the transom profile's condensate gutter rests on the groove boundary wall of the post's condensate gutter, so that the condensate is transferred from the transom profile into the post profile and then drained together via the post's condensate gutter at a suitable location. Due to the overlapping principle, the post profile's condensate gutter runs unconstrained all the way to the floor area or a drainage area of a roof.

What has turned out to be less than optimal about this construction is that the transom and mullion profiles have to be wider than the profile width actually technically required by the glass support, since the respective condensate channels have to form a partially open channel, projecting vertically beyond the glass support area.

This means more material is required for the profiles and more visible surface, which in turn is reflected in the cost of the coating. The wider profiles also run counter to the architects' desire for narrow profile views.

In order to overlap the condensate gutter of the transom on the post, additional notching work is required on the transom profile, which places special demands on the processor and leads to considerable additional costs.

The invention has the task of providing a structurally simple and reliable condensing

Registration text dated 28.12.2000 Page 3

to create a data collection and drainage system that allows the construction widths of the metal mullion profile and the metal transom profile to match.

The invention solves this problem by the subject matter of claim 1.

According to this, at least one or more sealing strips of the transom profile and/or the mullion profile have a drainage channel integrally formed on a glass support area of the seal, in particular for condensate, with a substantially rectangular, U-shaped cross-section.

Since the condensate channels are surprisingly no longer attached to the metal profiles but rather to the sealing strips in a simple and cost-effective manner, it is possible to react flexibly to construction situations, particularly where the facade transitions into sloping and horizontal areas - i.e. into skylight areas, or where a particularly high level of condensate is to be expected. Due to its shape, it is possible to use the sealing strip according to the invention to safely drain away even heavier amounts of condensate.

The condensate channel of the sealing strip is constructed at right angles in a visually appealing and functional manner and is preferably dimensioned according to the subject matter of the further subclaims in such a way that it is in a particularly advantageous relationship with the other sealing strips of the post profiles.

The sealing strip of the invention also makes it possible to use one and the same profile combination in the vertical facade area and in the horizontal skylight area.

The seals, which are made of elastic material, can be processed using simple tools such as knives and scissors and ensure a high degree of tightness without requiring any special requirements from the processor.

The condensate channel on the sealing strip of the rung visually compensates for the height differences of the seals towards the post.

Excessively precise length machining of the seals is not necessary, as a slight oversize of the seals is elastically compensated for over the entire length by compression. A slight overlength of the seals, preferably 1 - 2%, even provides additional elastic sealing of the joints between the seals and between the corner or end pieces.

Particularly in the case of straight sloped surfaces with horizontal transom profiles, a sealing strip for the transom with a condensate channel is all that is needed. This seal is to be mounted on the top of the transom profile towards the rising surface and is usually sufficient for draining and collecting condensate. In the case of low-insulated glass or filling panels or in the case of relatively flat-sloping roof structures, it may be necessary to equip the compartments with condensate collecting channels all around or at least on three sides.

The sealing strip with the condensate channel can be used wherever condensate is to be expected, especially on the underside of inclined glass panes and filling panels where the condensate flows towards the transom profile.

A tight sealing layer and glass support can be created with simple means using additional parts, which are the subject of further subclaims. 30

Since the condensate channel is formed integrally onto the sealing strip in a cost-effective and practical manner that does not complicate installation, it is not even necessary to install an additional element, although the invention can be usefully supplemented by useful accessories from the other subclaims. 5

It has also proven to be advantageous if the condensate channel of the transom profile extends directly or indirectly into the glass support area of the mullion profile and is designed to drain in grooves in the mullion profile. In this way, the advantageous drainage technology is retained as the state of the art and yet the components of the transom profile are reduced.

In the following, embodiments are described in more detail with reference to the drawing. It shows:

Fig. 1 shows a part of a facade in metal-glass design with a metal framework made of mullion profiles 1 and transom profiles 2 aligned at an angle to the mullion profile 1.

The post profile 1 and the transom profile 2 each have a central web 100 on the front sides, which serves to attach cover shells 101. These cover shells 101 hold infills such as panes, e.g. insulating glass panes 102.

The transom profile 2 is notched at the end in such a way that the profile wall 3 facing the insulating glass pane, which forms the base for the seepage water groove 4 and the sealing groove 5, rests on the sealing groove 6 of the post profile 1 in the assembled state.

The sealing groove 6 of the post profile 1 is located - viewed from the building side of the facade - above a hollow chamber 7. The sealing groove 6 and the hollow chamber 7 together limit the seepage water groove 8 of the post profile 1. 30

Registration text dated 28.12.2000 Page 7

According to the variant shown as an example on the right side of the post profile 1 in Fig. 1, the sealing groove 6 on the post profile 1 can also be designed to be open towards the bottom, so that the sealing groove 6 extends into the area of the hollow chamber 7 and the sealing groove 6 is virtually combined with the hollow chamber 7 to form a sealing groove 9 that combines the functions of the sealing groove and the hollow chamber.

The sealing strip 10 with the actual glass support area 10a and the sealing foot 10b of the locking profile 2 advantageously has a condensate channel 11 which is integrally formed on the glass support area 10a and which preferably has a rectangular shape.

The condensate channel 11 lies tightly against the outer surface of the locking profile 2 with the groove wall facing the sealing body of the sealing strip 10. The underside of the groove base 12 is flush with the underside of the profile wall 3. In principle, the condensate channel 11 can also have any other shape, for example a round cross-section, although the rectangular shape is preferred because of its appearance and stability. It is important that the channel cross-section is dimensioned in such a way that sufficient water drainage and sufficient stability can be achieved. The one-piece design of the sealing strip 10 is particularly advantageous. However, multi-part versions of the sealing strip are theoretically also conceivable.

The sealing strip 10 is guided into the area of the sealing strip 13 of the post 1 and there comes into contact with a sealing corner piece 14, to which the glass contact seal 13 of the post 1 is also connected or attached.

The sealing corner piece 14 has an extension 15 corresponding to the condensate channel 11 on the sealing strip 10 of the transom profile 2, which encloses the condensate channel 11 laterally and from below and thus supports and aligns it.

LOESENBECK · STRACKE · SPECHT · DANTZ - PATENT ATTORNEYS - EUROPEAN PATENT AND TRADEMARK ATTORNEYS

Registration text dated 28.12.2000 Page 8

The sealing corner piece 14 comprises a condensate channel facing the locking profile, which opens into a closed hollow channel in the alignment area of the sealing strip 13, from which a drain 16 is led downwards and passes through the groove base 17 of the sealing groove 6 and opens into the hollow chamber 7. Alternatively, the drain 16 opens into the sealing groove 9 which is open at the bottom. In this case, the drain 16 in the sealing corner piece 14 can also be dispensed with, so that only a drain hole is present in the sealing body of the sealing corner piece 14.

In the facade construction shown in Fig. 1 with the new seal, a structurally simple, cost-effective condensate drainage system is created that works reliably and separately from the seepage water drainage of the seepage water channels 4 and 8.

Fig. 2 shows a facade construction in which the mullion and transom profiles 1, 2 are not changed compared to Fig. 1. In addition to Fig. 1, the sealing strip 21 of the mullion profile 1 here also has a condensate channel 18 formed directly on the glass support area of the sealing strip, which in turn is encompassed and supported by an extension 19 of a sealing corner piece 20.

The sealing corner piece 20 comprises a type of foot which engages both in the sealing groove 5 of the transom profile and in the sealing groove 6, 9 of the post and is fixed there in a form-fitting manner.
25

The sealing corner piece 20 further comprises, in alignment with the condensate channel 11, a channel which extends the condensate channel and which passes through the leg of the sealing corner piece which is aligned with the sealing strip 21.

LOESENBECK · STRACKE · SPECHT · DANTZ - PATENT ATTORNEYS - EUROPEAN PATENT AND TRADEMARK ATTORNEYS

Registration text dated 28.12.2000 Page

In this way, the seepage gutter 8 of the post is directly connected to the condensate drainage system, i.e. the condensate is drained directly into the seepage drainage system.

The sealing corner piece 20 can have a drainage extension 22 for the seepage water groove 8.

According to Fig. 2, the drainage systems for the condensate and the seepage water are no longer separated but combined into one comprehensive system.

This also makes it possible to reduce the air exchange between the seepage gutter 8 and the condensate channel 11,18 to a minimum. For this purpose, a fibrous filter insert 25 (see below) is inserted into the channel that connects the condensate channels with the seepage gutter 8 of the post. This filter insert inhibits the air exchange, but on the other hand drains the condensate that accumulates into the seepage water drainage via the adhesion and capillary action of the filter material.

The two different drainage systems of Fig. 1 and 2, i.e. the combined or separate drainage, as well as the arrangement of a condensate channel 18 on the sealing strip 21, can be used and exchanged as desired.

The sealing strip 10 with the condensate channel 11 for the transom profile 2 is to be arranged at least on the top of the transom profile on inclined surfaces. If the roof surfaces or facade surfaces are slightly inclined, this seal can also be arranged on both sides of the transom profile. The same applies to facades, where condensate that has formed on the top of the transom profiles can be covered and drained away by the condensate channel.

The structure and functions of the facade drainage system will be described in more detail below using the following drawing.

Fig. 3 shows the top view of a profile intersection point of post 1 and transom. The sealing strip 21 with the integrated condensate channel 18 is located on post 1. The sealing strips 10, 21 are connected via the sealing corner piece 20. The condensate channels 11, 18 are enclosed and supported by the extensions 15, 19, which also provide the corresponding sealing. In addition, there are correspondingly enlarged adhesive surfaces for connecting the seals to the sealing corner piece.

Fig. 3 shows the separate drainage of the seepage water into the space 9 or the cavity 7 under the sealing strip 21. Here, the drainage channel 23 can also be seen, which leads in extension of the condensate channel 11 into the sealing corner piece 20 to the drain 16.

In contrast to Fig. 3, Fig. 4 again shows a sealing strip or here a glass support seal 13 for the post 1 without a condensate gutter.

Fig. 5 shows a top view of a facade of the type shown in Fig. 2. In this top view of a profile intersection point, the drainage channel can be clearly seen, which is aligned with the condensate channel 11 and opens into the seepage groove 8 of the post 1. This drainage channel is filled with a filter insert 25, which essentially prevents the exchange of air between the seepage grooves 8, also called the rebate space, and the condensate channels, also called the interior space. Only the condensate is drained off via adhesion to the fibers and capillary action in channels formed by fibers.

Fig. 6 corresponds largely to the structure according to Fig. 1, only the sealing strip 13 is designed without a condensate channel and the drainage takes place - as in Fig. 5 - via the drainage channel 24 and the built-in filter insert 25.

According to Fig. 7, only the sealing strip 13 is to be inserted into the post 1. The sealing strip 10 with the condensate channel 11 rests against a sealing end piece 26, which extends the transom seal 10 into the area of the post profile 1. The sealing end piece 26 engages with a foot formation in the sealing groove 5 of the transom profile and is fixed there with the seal 10. The width of the sealing end piece 26 corresponds to the total width of the sealing strip 10 including the condensate channel 11, so that on the outside of the sealing end piece

26 the seal 13 can be in sealing contact with the front side under pre-tension. In extension of the condensate groove 11, the seal end piece 26 comprises a drainage channel 27, which can be preceded by a condensate gutter 11. The drainage channel 27 opens into an outlet 16, which in turn leads the condensate into the space 9 or the hollow chamber 7 of the post separately from the seepage water.

Fig. 8 shows, like Fig. 7, the intersection point of a post profile 1 with a transom profile 2. Shown is a sealing end piece 28 which is provided in the overlap area between the transom profile and the post and whose drainage channel

27 opens into the drainage channel 8 or into the fold of the post profile. This sealing end piece 26 is particularly suitable for transom profiles that abut at an angle, since the sealing end piece 26 can be cut to match the abutment angle of the profiles.

The sealing end piece 26 has a smooth surface towards the sealing strip 13, to which the glass contact seal 13 can be tightly attached. The drainage channel 27 is - as already shown in Fig. 5 and 6 - equipped with the filter insert 25.

Fig. 9 and 10 also reveal in this context that the sealing end piece 26 primarily serves the crossing points at which the transom profile 2 joins the post profile at an angle. For this purpose, the sealing end piece 26 is designed to be correspondingly longer than is necessary for the right-angled joint in order to be able to be adapted to changed conditions in the simplest way.

Fig. 9 shows the already mentioned oblique joint of the transom profile on the post profile and thus corresponds to the previously described Fig. 7. Only the sealing end piece 26 and the sealing strip 13 are adapted to the joint angle of the profiles.

Fig. 10 shows the top view of an oblique joint between transom and post and otherwise corresponds in the description to Fig. 8. Only the sealing end piece 28 and the sealing strip 13 of the post are adapted to the crossing angles.

Fig. 11 shows the structure of a transom post connection of a facade in a perspective and exploded view. The transom profile 2 overlaps the lattice profile 1 in the sealing groove area. The height compensation is achieved by the different heights of the seal 10 and the seal 13, 13.1. This height difference is compensated for by the sealing corner piece 14. A sealing corner piece 14 and a sealing strip that does not have a condensate channel 18 as shown in Fig. 2 are shown. The sealing corner piece 14 can be seen particularly clearly. The sealing corner piece has centering cams 29, 30, 31 on its legs in the joint area with the respective sealing strips 10, 13, which interact with and engage in corresponding hollow chambers of the glass support profiles and thus secure the position of the individual components in relation to one another. The cams also simultaneously form an enlargement of the contact surfaces for possible gluing of the components to one another.

Either the drainage outlet 16 or the drainage extension 22 with the drainage channel 27 closed by a filter insert 25 can be arranged on the sealing corner piece 14 or alternatively on the sealing corner piece 20.

Fig. 12 also shows a perspective and exploded view of a crossing joint of a transom/mullion facade. In this figure, the sealing end piece 26 is shown, which also has a centering cam 29 that interacts with a hollow chamber of the glass support profile 10. The glass support profile 13 is elastically supported on the outer surface of the sealing end piece 26.

The sealing end piece 26 can be equipped with the drain 16 for separate condensate drainage or, in the case of merging with the seepage water, with the drainage channel 27 and the filter insert 25.

Fig. 13 shows the sealing corner piece 14 as a representative of the sealing corner piece 20, from which the details already described above can be taken. Instead of the drainage channel 27 and the sealing insert 25 shown, the sealing corner piece is to be equipped with the drain 16 for separate condensate drainage.

The same applies to Fig. 14, which shows the sealing end piece 26.

Instead of sealing corner pieces or sealing end pieces, the sealing strip 10 together with the condensate channel 11 can run through to the overlapping area of the transom 2 and the mullion 1 (not shown here). The sealing strip 13 of the mullion profile is then guided under pre-tension to the outside of the condensate groove 11, whereby an adapter part is inserted into the condensate channel 11 in the area of the sealing strip 13, which on the one hand compensates the construction height up to the glass support and closes the condensate channel 11, so that via a hole punch in the

The condensate can be drained from the groove bottom of the condensate channel 11 into the space 9 under the sealing strip 13 or into the chamber 7.

However, the adapter part can also form a channel in which a filter insert 25 is arranged, which causes the drainage into the fold or the seepage water groove 8.

In particular in this last described embodiment, but also in embodiments according to Fig. 7, 8, 9, 10, 12 and 14, which all relate to the sealing end piece 26, the height adjustment between the transom profile and the mullion profile to the glazing support level can also be carried out by means of a two-part mullion seal 13 (see Figure 18). In particular, the combination of an aluminum base strip and a corresponding sealing strip 10 without a condensate channel is intended here.

The structure of the sealing strips, or in particular the sealing strips with a drainage channel attached or molded onto them, will be described in more detail below.

Fig. 15 shows an enlarged cross-section of the sealing strip 10, which rests with its plane X on the two upper edges of the sealing groove 5 and is held in the locking profile 2 by the sealing foot in a form-fitting manner. The sealing body - i.e. the glass support area 10a, which is essentially designed in a known manner, with the sealing foot 10b formed thereon for engagement in the sealing groove 5, which (not shown here) can also be connected to one another in a foldable manner via a type of film hinge in order to be able to easily separate the glass support area in the overlap area with the post profile from the foot area - is followed by a web 10c, which is formed directly on the side of the glass support area 10a and which has essentially the height of the glass support area 10a. The stable web 10c, which forms the outer lateral edge

Registration text dated 28.12.2000 Page

The condensate channel 11, which is open on one side towards the insulating glass pane but otherwise rectangular and essentially "U-shaped", is formed over the sealing groove 5 and is formed by the groove walls 12, 200 and the groove base 130 and which is supported on the locking profile 2 with its side 12 facing the locking profile 2. The plane Y of the groove wall 12 facing the sealing body thus forms the lateral fixing and contact plane on the locking profile 2.

The sealing body or the glass support area 10a has a height "a" - viewed from the plane X, i.e. the upper edge of the sealing groove 5 - while the seepage water groove has the dimension "b" starting from the plane X to the lower edge of the groove base 130. The effective construction height "H" of the sealing strip 13 for the post profile 1 is made up of the height of the glass support area and the dimension "b" of the seepage water groove, i.e. the sum "a+b".

The dimensions a and b are selected such that the groove base 130 of the seepage water groove rests on the upper edges of the sealing groove 6 of the post profiles. In this case, the groove wall 200 is also perpendicular to the groove base 130 and, in the special design case, forms part of the contact surface for the sealing strip 13.

In an advantageous embodiment, the height "h" of the groove wall 200 is equal to the dimension "b" for the condensate channel 11.

Fig. 16 to 18 allow a comparison of the installation dimensions of the various seals. Fig. 16 shows the sealing strip 10 for the transom profile 2, Fig. 17 shows the sealing strip 13 for the mullion profile and Fig. 18 shows a combined sealing unit 13.1 for the mullion profile. Fig. 16 to 18 are positioned next to each other in such a way that it can be seen that the glass support profile 10 for the transom profiles including the condensate channel 11 has the same height as the mullion seals according to Fig. 16 and 17.

Therefore: H = a + b.

According to Fig. 18, the sealing strip or the sealing strip 13.1 is constructed in two parts, i.e., it has a sealing strip 21 consisting of sealing material and a rebate reduction profile 220, which is usually made of the material of the transom profile and mullion profile, e.g. or preferably of aluminum.

The fold reduction profile 220 has a height b which, in a particularly advantageous embodiment, corresponds to the groove wall 200 of the seal 10.

In this configuration, the sealing strip 21 can run through to the groove web or base 12 of the sealing strip 10, whereby the sealing foot of the sealing strip 21 is removed in the overlap area with the condensate channel 11. The corresponding drainage channel is filled with the filter insert 25 or closed with a sealing piece. This ensures that the condensate is drained either into the seepage water groove 8 or into the chamber under the sealing strip 7, 9 of the post profile.

Fig. 19 shows a section of the sealing strip 10, into which a sealing molding 230 can be inserted at the end in the area of the condensate channel 11. This sealing molding 230 completes the condensate channel up to the upper sealing surface of the sealing strip 10 and at the same time ends flush with the groove wall 20 on the outside, so that in the overlap area between the transom profile 2 and the post profile 1, the sealing strip of the post profile forms a smooth overall contact surface for the sealing finish. In this case, the sealing strip 10 is led into the overlap area of the profiles without providing additional sealing corner pieces or sealing end pieces.

The sealing molding 230 leaves a channel free so that a punched hole in the bottom of the condensate groove 11 is accessible for draining the condensate.

Registration text dated 28.12.2000 Page

According to Fig. 20, the sealing molding 240, unlike in Fig. 19, has a continuous channel so that the condensate can be passed through into the seepage water intake of the bar profile. The filter insert 25 made of a synthetic PA filter medium can be inserted into this free channel.

Fig. 21 again shows a facade crossing point or area. The sealing strip 10 is again guided into the overlap area so that the condensate channel 11 rests on the sealing groove of the post profile.

The sealing fitting 230, 240 forms the closed contact surface in order to bring the sealing strip 13 into sealing contact with the sealing strip 10 or the condensate channel 11.
