Abstract

In the case of a window or door element ( 1 ) having a metal frame and an insulated glass pane ( 7 ) inserted into the frame ( 2 ), a solution is to be created, with which such window or door elements can be produced without requiring cold-forming, extrusion production of light-metal profiles, or another form of production of the frame elements. This is achieved in that the outer and/or inner surface of the frame ( 2 ) is formed, in each instance, by a flat metal frame ( 4, 5 ), wherein an insulation body ( 3 ) is positioned between the frame elements ( 4, 5 ), using sandwich construction.

Claims (13)

1. A window or door element having a metal frame and an insulated glass pane inserted into the frame,

wherein the frame comprises an outer flat metal frame having an inner cutout, an inner flat metal frame having an inner cutout, and an insulation body positioned between the outer flat metal frame and the inner flat metal frame, using sandwich construction; and

wherein the inner cutout of the outer flat metal frame is slightly smaller than the inner cutout of the inner flat metal frame, in order to form a circumferential contact ridge for the insulated glass pane.

2. The window or door element according to claim 1 , wherein each of the outer flat metal frame and the inner flat metal frame is formed by being cut out from a planar metal plate or a metal strip.

3. The window or door element according to claim 1 , wherein the insulation body is formed from rods, wherein the rods are connected with one another in frame-like manner.

4. The window or door element according to claim 1 , wherein the insulation body has face sides equipped with adhesive and/or adhesive strips for fixation of the flat metal frames that lie on them.

5. The window or door element according to claim 1 , wherein the flat metal frames are equipped with attachment tabs for rivets, screws, or the like, for attachment to the insulation body.

6. The window or door element according to claim 1 , wherein the flat metal frames are equipped with welded bolts for attachment to the insulation body, which is provided with dead-end bores.

7. The window or door element according to claim 1 , wherein the inner cutouts of the flat metal frames are cut out via a laser.

8. The window or door element according to claim 1 , wherein the contact ridge for the insulated glass pane formed by the outer flat metal frame is equipped with an adhesive and/or with an adhesive strip.

9. The window or door element according to claim 1 , wherein the insulated glass pane has a surface that faces inward and is equipped, on its outer edge, with an adhesive and/or with an adhesive strip for fixation of a glass holding frame.

10. The window or door element according to claim 1 , wherein the insulated glass pane is directly fixed in place on or in the insulation body, and the flat metal frames are applied subsequently.

11. The window or door element according to claim 1 , wherein the insulation body is equipped with a standardized “Euro-groove” for attaching the window or door hardware.
