Abstract: In order to improve operability and user comfort for vertically sliding or displaceable facade components, a weight compensation device for vertically displaceable facade components includes a spring element for at least partial compensation of its own weight of a vertically displaceable facade component and a compensator. The spring element provides a spring force as a driving force (FAN) for lifting the vertically displaceable facade component. The spring element is movable between a compressed state (PK) and an expanded state (PE). The spring force has a decreasing value when moving from the compressed state to the expanded state. The compensator at least partially compensates for the decrease in the input force and provides an output force (FAB) that decreases less than the input force.

Abstract: A hardware for a slidable facade component includes at least two guide pins for a first side and at least two guide pins for a second side of the component. An actuating rod arrangement for transmitting an actuating force includes a first actuating rod and a second actuating rod for the first side and the second side, respectively, of the component. An actuating device is coupled to the drive rod assembly for transmitting the actuating force to the first and second drive rods with an actuation. The guide pins are eccentric bearing pins with an eccentrically arranged axis of rotation for rotatable attachment to the component and are provided for engagement with a guide groove arrangement arranged in the frame area. The eccentric bearing pins are each coupled to one of the drive rods via a coupling element and are rotatable via a longitudinal movement of the drive rods.

Abstract: To provide improved sealing of slidable facade components, a hardware (10) for a slidable facade component is provided. The hardware comprises a guide pin arrangement (12) for the slidable facade component with at least two guide pins (18a) for a first side of the slidable facade component and at least two guide pins (18b) for a second side of the slidable facade component opposite the first side. Furthermore, an actuating rod arrangement (14) for transmitting an actuating force is provided with a first actuating rod (20a) for the first side of the slidable facade component and a second actuating rod (20b) for the second side of the slidable facade component. Further provided is an actuating device (16) coupled to the drive rod assembly for transmitting the actuating force to the first and second drive rods with an actuation.

In order to improve operability and user comfort for vertically displaceable facade components, a weight compensation device (10) for vertically displaceable facade components comprises a spring element (12) for at least partial compensation of its own weight of a vertically displaceable facade component and a compensator (14). The spring element provides a spring force as a driving force (FAN) for lifting the vertically displaceable facade component. The spring element is movable between a compressed state (PK) and an expanded state (PE). The spring force has a decreasing value when moving from the compressed state to the expanded state. The compensator at least partially compensates for the decrease in the input force and provides an output force (FAB) that decreases less than the input force.
