| Details |
Inventors: Habicht, Siegfried; Reppert, Rainer; Hocker, Eitel-Friedrich;
Assignee: Schuco International GmbH & Co. (DE)
Primary Examiner: Friedman; Carl D.
Assistant Examiner: Mai; Lan
Attorney, Agent or Firm: Laubscher, Presta & Laubscher
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. In the alternative or in addition, at least one frame of the frame arrangement may be provided with a plurality of internal chambers which are delimited by lateral limiting surfaces that extend at an acute angle with respect to the plane of the pane and which may accommodate respective inserts, or such frame may include a plurality of parts that contact each other at contact surfaces which extend at least in part at an acute angle with respect to the plane of the pane, such as by extending along sawtooth-shaped courses. |

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENT Referring now to the drawing in detail, and first to FIG.
1 thereof, it may be seen that the reference numeral 1 has been used therein to identify a pane of an impact-impeding structure of the present invention which will be described below as embodied in a casement window.
However, it is to be understood that the present invention is equally applicable for use in other types of windows, such as sash windows, in doors, or even in conjunction with stationarily mounted window panes.
In the construction depicted in FIG.
1, as well as in the modified constructions which will be described later in conjunction with FIGS.
2 to 5, the pane 1 has front and rear sides and has impact-impeding properties.
In the construction of FIG.
1, the pane 1 is surrounded at its marginal portion by a casement frame 2 which consists of heat-insulated composite profiled sections.
The inner casement frame 2 is received in an outer window opening frame 3 which is also constituted by heat-insulated composite profiled sections.
The casement frame 2 and the window opening frame 3 are provided at the inner side of the window with respective customary aluminum profiled sections 4 and 5 that are provided with receiving grooves 6 and 7 for marginal bulges 8 and 9 of insulation rods 10, 11, 12 and 13.
Respective outwardly situated metallic webs 14 and 15 are pressed against the marginal bulges 8 and 9 of the insulation rods 10, 11, 12 and 13 for connecting the insulation rods 10, 11, 12 and 13 to the aluminum profiled sections 4 and 5.
The insulation rods 10, 11, 12 and 13 further include additional marginal bulges 16 and 17 which are connected to respective metallic profiled impact-impeding sections 19 and 20 in the same manner as described above by being received in respective grooves and by having respective metallic webs 18 deformed against them.
The metallic profiled sections 19 and 20 of the window opening frame 3 and of the casement frame 2, which are constructed in an impact-impeding manner, delimit a labyrinthine gap 21 which includes three steps 22, 23 and 24 that extend parallel to a main plane 25 of the panel for a window, door or a similar structure
