English Abstract


ABSTRACT OF THE DISCLOSURE
The metal part (A) of the composite profile is
clipped onto the plastic connecting part (B,B1) or pushed
onto it lengthwise in such a manner that when a suitable
load is applied to the anchoring elements (8, B2) the metal
part (A) can bend elastically and thus move or slide in the
transverse direction (16) and return to its initial position
automatically when the load is removed without the anchorage
being loosened and longitudinal sliding under load being
prevented. The return of the metal part (A) to its initial
position can be undertaken or assisted by flanges (17,18,
18a) on the metal part itself.


Claims

Note: Claims are shown in the official language in which they were submitted.


AMENDED CLAIMS
1. Connection system for the production of composite
profiles, in particular for window frames door frames and
the like, wherein the anchorage is furnished between the metal
part (A) and the plastic connection part (B) by way of
elastic anchoring elements, extending over the complete
profile length, which will enable a mutual sliding of these
parts in profile longitudinal direction under a certain
loading in the same direction as well as a limited sliding
or shifting in cross direction (16) of the same profile
parts, upon occurrence of a certain loading in this
direction, wherein, in case of a decreasing load in a
direction cross to the profile longitudinal extension there
is performed an elastic restoring in two directions cross
to the profile longitudinal extension of the shifted profile
part into its starting position parallel to the remaining
profile parts (B, C), and wherein this elastic restoring is
performed based on the elasticity of the anchoring elements

themselves (8, B2 in Figs. 1 - 3; 10, 11, 14) and/or by
specially furnished elastic restoring flanges (17, 18, 18a
in Figs. 4 - 8, 9 ) or by soft elastic projections (D)
furnished at spacer flanges (21) of the connection part
(B1 in Fig. 12) which projections (D) are supported at the
metal part (A).
2. Connection system for the production of composite
profiles according to claim 1, wherein the anchorage is
secured by the geometric disposition of the anchoring
projection (6) and of a support rib (2) such that the
distance in cross direction relative to the longitudinal
direction of the profile part (A) of those staggered
disposed projections (2, 6) is slightly larger as compared
to the thickness of the anchoring flange (8) and is smaller
as compared to the thickness of the flange and including
insertion projection (11).
3. Connection system for the production of composite
profiles according to claim 1, wherein the anchorage is
secured by a limiting of the sliding motion in cross
direction (16), which anchorage is furnished with at least a
rigid spacer flange (18a) or with a support flange (1),

protruding from a metal part (A) which protrudes into a
correspondingly wider guide groove (19) at the plastic
connection part (B) (in Figs. 10, 14), wherein the face at
the bottom of the groove represents the sliding face (4).
4. Connection system for the production of composite
profiles according to claim 1, wherein the anchorage is
secured by projections (22) which are formed in particular
extruded on at the anchoring elements (B2 in Figs. 13, 14),
which projections are supported elastically at a planar face
at a metal part (A) in assembled position of the composite
profile parts such that a contact pressure is achieved at
the mutual suspension faces of the suspension ends of
(6, 14) and that a displacement of the suspension ends of
the anchoring elements in relation to the metal part is
hindered.
5. Connection system for production of composite
profiles according to claim 1, wherein the soft-elastic
projections (D) are molded on as anchoring elements at rigid
spacer flanges of a plastic connection part (B1 in Fig. 12),
which are propped and braced at the metal part (A) in
joined position of the parts of the composite profile such

that, in case of a loading in cross direction (16), one of
the projection (D) is elastically compressed, while the
second projection (D) can release itself tension at the
opposite side, whereby a cross shifting occurs with the
elastic restoring effect of the metal part (A) with
reference to the remaining parts of the composite profile.
6. Connection system for the production of composite
profiles according to claim 1, wherein the restoring flange
(17, 18, 18a) can be molded on at the metal part (A),
(Figs 7 and 8 ), at the plastic connection part (B, B1)
(Figs. 4 - 6), or can be inserted into one of these parts
(Fig. 9).
