Abstract

A window, door, or facade element includes an outer frame composed of out frame bars and a leaf frame composed of leaf frame bars. One or more of the outer frame bars and/or of the leaf frame bars has/have at least the following features: a base profile, on which two fastening grooves that are open in the same direction are formed for fixing a corresponding fastener of a fitting arrangement, which bridges the intermediate space between the fastening grooves. The two fastening grooves have at least one latch for at least one counterpart latch, which can be attached without tools, of a fitting part arrangement. The fitting arrangement has a functional fitting on a fitting plate and at least one support element for supporting the fitting. The support element is designed for direct or indirect latching in the fastening grooves by means of the counterpart latch.

Claims (24)

1. A window, door, or façade element comprising:

a frame made of frame spars;

a sash made of sash spars;

a fitting assembly, wherein a first side of the fitting assembly has a lock screen and a second side of the fitting assembly has first and second fasteners, wherein the first side of the fitting assembly is opposite the second side of the fitting assembly; and

a main profile comprising first and second fastening grooves that open in a same direction, wherein the first and second fasteners of the fitting assembly are fixed in first and second fastening grooves so that the fitting assembly bridges an intermediate space between the first and second fastening grooves,

wherein the first and second fastening grooves have at least one catch for at least one counter catch of the fitting assembly, and

wherein the fitting assembly has a lock on a striker plate and at least one carrier element for carrying the striker plate, wherein the carrier element locks in the first and second fastening grooves via the counter catch.

2. The window, door, or façade element of claim 1 , wherein the striker plate and the at least one carrier element comprise multiple pieces and are fastened on one another.

3. The window, door, or façade element of claim 1 , wherein the striker plate and the at least one carrier element are a single piece.

4. The window, door, or façade element of claim 1 , wherein two of the carrier elements are formed on the striker plate.

5. The window, door, or façade element of claim 1 , wherein the first and second fastening grooves extend over an entire length of the main profile in a main extension direction of the main profile.

6. The window, door, or façade element of claim 1 , wherein the fitting assembly is displaceable with the carrier element after locking on the main profile in the first and second fastening grooves in a main extension direction of the main profile.

7. The window, door, or façade element of claim 1 , wherein the fitting assembly is additionally fixed and/or secured against slipping on the main profile using a profile clamp arranged vertically below the fitting assembly.

8. The window, door, or façade element of claim 1 , wherein the carrier element has, in cross-section, a U shape having a main leg and two parallel longitudinal legs.

9. The window, door, or façade element of claim 1 , wherein

the two parallel longitudinal legs are spaced apart from one another such that they are engageable in the first and second fastening grooves of the main profile, and

the counter catch for interacting with the catch of the first and second fastening grooves are formed directly or indirectly at the ends of the two longitudinal legs.

10. The window, door, or façade element of claim 9 , wherein the two longitudinal legs have thickened areas at the ends thereof, which each engage in securing clips, which are lockable in the two fastening grooves.

11. The window, door, or façade element of claim 10 , wherein the securing clips consist of a plastic material.

12. The window, door, or façade element of claim 1 , wherein the at least one carrier element is a profile section of a metal profile.

13. The window, door, or façade element of claim 1 , wherein the fitting assembly is installable without tools on the main profile.

14. The window, door, or façade element of claim 1 , wherein the lock screen has inwardly protruding webs on its inner circumference, which are engageable behind the striker plate.

15. The window, door, or façade element of claim 1 , wherein the first and second fastening grooves are part of function contours, each of which have a transverse leg protruding perpendicularly from a short leg of the main profile or a long leg of the main profile, respectively, and also at least one angled web.

16. The window, door, or façade element of claim 15 , wherein the transverse leg is formed entirely or partially as at least one separate insulating web or multiple insulating webs, which is/are connected in an interlocking and frictional manner to the short leg and the long leg such that a shear-resistant composite is formed.
