Abstract: A fire resistant frame structure for a facade or glass roof, includes a column profile, and a beam profile connectable to the column profile to form a support construction and so positioned relative to the column profile as to form spaces for receiving fire protection glasswork. The column profile and the beam rofile are each made of aluminum and comprised of a supporting core member for receiving static loads, an enclosure surrounding the core member, connecting members joining the core member to the enclosure at formation of a hollow chamber, and adsorbent material received in the hollow chamber and having heat absorbing and hydrophilic properties. The connecting members are formed by bridge members which provide a low heat conductivity to effect a low heat flux from the enclosure to the core member. Thus, crystal water can be released when the adsorbent material is subject to a certain temperature level to thereby cool the metallic framework.

Abstract: A heat-insulated composite section for doors, windows and facades, includes a plurality of metal rail sections so connected as to form a frame, at least one insulating rod arranged between the rail sections and having longitudinal edges secured to the metal sections, and a compensation structure provided in a longitudinal connection zone between interconnected components for eliminating a flexure of the rail sections when subject to uneven temperature rise. The compensation structure effects a slight resistance to longitudinal displacement, or resistance to longitudinal displacement that approaches zero, or is formed by a sliding-type guidance.

Abstract: A fire resistant frame structure for windows, doors, facades or glass roofs, includes a metallic structural element for connection to at least one other metallic structural element to form a frame. Secured to the outside and/or inside of the frame are slabs of adsorbent material which retain a high water content and exhibit heat absorbing and hydrophilic properties. The slabs of adsorbent material react or are activated at a certain temperature level to release their water content in order to cool the frame.

The frame has at least one T-joint part that extends into the at least one cavity. The at least one T-joint part is fixedly connected to the groove. The lower face of the rung faces the frame and is disposed adjacent to the upper edges of the groove. At least one sealing cushion is disposed in the gap. The at least one sealing cushion is made from an elastic material and is fixedly connected to the frame such that the gap is sealed by the sealing cushion.

The at least one T-joint part has at least one transverse opening which extends toward the at least one cavity wall such that the at least one fill opening, the at least one glue distribution channel and the at least one transverse opening are in fluid communication.

Abstract: The connecting section includes two metal sections held spaced from each other by at least one isolating bar having at least one recess extending longitudinally therein. Each of the metal sections are provided with at least one isolating bar-receiving groove and at least one grooved longitudinal member. Each of the grooved longitudinal members of the metal sections are fitted in a recess in the isolating bars by elastic deformation and each of the isolating bars have at least one slot opening to the adjacent metal section. The metal wire is sunk into the metal section and the isolating bar on deformation of the grooved longitudinal member.

Abstract: An impact-impeding structure includes a pane which extends along a plane and has a front and a rear side, and an impact-impeding frame for the pane. The frame may include an outer frame member and an inner frame member received in the outer frame member, the frame members being provided at least at one of the front and rear sides of the pane with impact-impeding elements, and defining with one another a labyrinthine gap situated at a region of the impact-impeding elements and including a plurality of steps extending at least substantially parallel to the plane. The parts of the gap which interconnect the steps extend at an angle deviating from the normal to the plane of the pane and may have different widths which may decrease from the exterior to the interior of the frame arrangement.

Abstract: An insulating strip for a heat-insulated composite section with two metal rail sections and at least one insulating strip positioned between them and intended for windows, doors, or facades. The insulating strip has a rectangular basic cross-section with anchoring webs along the edge that are accommodated on at least one side in recesses in the metal rail sections. The anchoring webs at at least one end of the insulating strip end at a distance from the face that corresponds to the rectangular basic cross-section.

Abstract: A device for fastening together the parts of a heat-insulated composite section consisting of two metal sections and of at least one insulating rod has knurling rollers that shape exterior groove webs, forces them against the insulating rod, provides them with a knurled strip. The knurling roller has conical, toothed, circumferential surfaces. The bottom land between each pair of teeth parallels the conical circumferential surface. The knurling rollers are mounted in a tensioning mechanism that consists of two annular disks in such a way that it can be displaced along its axis. It can be displaced 0.5 to 1 mm to each side out of an intermediate position. The axial flotation make it possible to compensate for errors in alignment between the knurling roller and the composite section that occur while the groove webs are being shaped as a result of undesirable superimposition of the tolerances of the separate parts. The knurling rollers are mounted in such a way that they cannot rotate on powered shafts.

Abstract: A composite section that the frames of a window or a door are made out of or that are used to construct a facade consist of a plastic rail section and of a metal rail section. The metal rail sections face inward when the composite section is employed to construct a window or a door frame, whereas the plastic rail sections constitute the outer shell. The plastic rail section has anchoring webs with free edges that engage recesses in the metal rail sections. The anchoring webs are secured in the recesses because the outer recess webs and/or inner recess webs conform to the shape of the anchoring webs. The plastic rail sections are angular in cross-section and have outer flanks that in the case of a window or door constitute motion-limiting webs or glass-securing strips. The fittings that connect the casement to the window frame and the fittings that anchor the window frame are attached only to the metal rail sections.

Abstract: A fire resistant door has at least one swingable leaf which includes a glass plate. The swingable leaf comprises an inner frame composed of one or two tubular subframes having a general plane and a rigid outer cover frame. The outer frame has lateral walls surrounding the inner frame. The inner frame is formed with walls extending parallel to the general plane of the sub-frame, which walls together with lateral walls of the outer sub-frame form grooves. A support element is mounted in each groove which has an arresting projection whereas the lateral walls are formed with arresting webs extending towards the arresting projections and connected to the latter forming a force and form-locking connection.

Abstract: A composite frame particularly for windows, doors or the like is composed of two metal sub-frames spaced apart from each other. Each of the sub-frame is formed with outwardly extending flanges to define the respective recesses therebetween. A pair of elongated insulating members are inserted into said respective recesses to interconnect the sub-frames to each other. The insulating members are provided with grooves of circular shape to receive the outwardly extending flanges which are deformed to engage the insulating members. At least one elongated gripping element is provided in the assembly which is inserted into a recess formed in each insulating member; the gripping element bears against the respective one of the outwardly extending flanges thereby increasing the coefficient of friction of the insulating member relative to the metal sub-frames.
