Abstract: The invention presents a composite profile for use in the production of windows, doors, facade elements or the like, having inner and outer metallic profiles spaced at a specific distance from each other by a plastic profile. The invention further proposes that the plastic profile contain a surface of a solid, non-porous first plastics material, in a core region, a fine-pored cellular structure of a second plastics material. Additionally, the plastic profile may either be a solid, multilayer profile or a hollow profile. Such plastics profiles are particularly adapted to absorb tensile, bending and/or pressure loads.

Abstract: In a process for extruding polymer melts (25) to form hollow chamber sections (21) by pressing the polymer melt through a shaping tool (24) with an internal shaping mandrel (26) and by subsequently sizing and cooling the hollow chamber section strand in a sizing and cooling unit (31) it is provided for the sizing and cooling of the hollow chamber section strand to be carried out in the sizing and cooling unit under extrusion pressure. A device for carrying out this process is characterized in that shaping tool (24) and sizing and cooling unit (31) are rigidly connected to form a closed system so that the strand extrusion pressure prevailing in the shaping tool can be propagated into the sizing and cooling unit, and that the shaping mandrel (26) protrudes out of the shaping tool (24) into the sizing and cooling unit (31).

Abstract: A composite section for frames of windows, doors, facade elements and the like consists of two metal section parts and at least one plastic insulating web which joins these metal section parts and is held with its ends in corresponding grooves of the metal section parts. The plastic material forming the insulating web is combined with a composite fiber skeleton consisting of heat-resistant fibers. The composite fiber skeleton is anchored in a positively and/or frictionally connected manner in the grooves of the metal section parts so as to also ensure cohesion of the metal section parts when the plastic material of the insulating web degenerates. The composite fiber skeleton is at least one band with thickened edge sections which are anchored in a positively connected manner in the grooves of the metal section parts.
