  • Patent number: 9021754
    Abstract: The invention relates to a foam sealing strip (2, 2?, 2?) which is suitable for sealing, for example, a window frame (5) and which is impregnated for delayed elastic recovery, wherein the foam sealing strip (2, 2?, 2?) has, with reference to a cross section, two opposite narrow sides (3, 4) which, in the fitted state, each face the inner side or the outer side of the window frame (5), and wide sides suitable for bearing against the side of the window or soffit (6), wherein, furthermore, in the fully recovered state, at least one edge region of the cross section, which edge region is designed as a vertical region (15), is at a greater height from a base surface (F) provided on the wide side than an adjoining low-lying region in the width direction, wherein the vertical region and the low-lying region run in alignment with a longitudinal direction of the foam sealing strip (2, 2?, 2?) and, in the fully recovered state, a surface profile which is curved in cross section is provided on the surface opposite the ba

  • Publication number: 20110185661
    Abstract: The invention relates to a window (1) comprising a frame (2), wherein a sealing strip (3) made of an elastic, optionally, resilient foam is applied to the outer side of the window frame (2). The aim of the invention is to provide a window frame that is used to construct a window, a sealing strip made of an elastic resilient foam being applied to the outer side of said window frame that can be inserted in an advantageous manner during simple pre-assembly. The invention is characterised in that the foam is maintained in the compressed form on the window frame (2) by means of a holding part (4) and precompression can be released by destructive effects on said holding part (4) that is elastically prestressed in the direction of extension or that is made of a brittle material.
