The bridge part is an injection-molded part made of fiber-reinforced plastic, and in that the bridge part (3) is injection-molded around the wall part (1) and the façade part (2) so as to encapsulate them in certain areas. ## Claims ### Claim 1 A console for joining a façade to a building wall, comprising: a metal wall part for mounting on the building wall; a metal façade part for joining to the façade; and a bridge part joining the façade part to the wall part, the bridge part including a plastic material and forming a heat barrier between the wall part and the façade part, the bridge part being an injection-molded part made of fiber-reinforced plastic, and the bridge part being injection-molded around the wall part and the façade part so as to encapsulate the wall part and the façade part at least in certain areas. ### Claim 2 (depends on 1) The console as recited in claim 1 wherein the bridge part has two support flanges at a distance from each other and joining the façade part and the wall part, the two support flanges of the bridge part being injection-molded around the wall part and the façade part so as to encapsulate the wall part and the façade part in the certain areas. ### Claim 3 (depends on 2) The console as recited in claim 2 wherein the bridge part has four bars arranged in a cross joining the two support flanges are joined together. ### Claim 4 (depends on 3) The console as recited in claim 3 wherein the cross is a diagonal cross. ### Claim 5 (depends on 3) The console as recited in claim 3 wherein the four bars can encompass two crosswise fields opening towards the support flanges and two lengthwise fields opening towards the wall part or the façade part, a material thickness of the bridge part in the lengthwise fields being less than on the bars, or the material thickness of the bridge part in the crosswise fields being less than on the bars. ### Claim 6 (depends on 5) The console as recited in claim 5 wherein the lengthwise fields have at least one opening, and the crosswise fields are closed. ### Claim 7 (depends on 3) The console as recited in claim 3 wherein a fiber orientation of the fiber-reinforced plastic in the bars is approximately parallel to individual bars of the four bars. ### Claim 8 (depends on 3) The console as recited in claim 3 wherein a gate mark of the bridge part is situated in an intersection area of the four bars. ### Claim 9 (depends on 1) The console as recited in claim 1 wherein the wall part has a wall plate element with two opposing flat sides and two opposing lengthwise sides, and the façade part has a plate element having two opposing flat sides and two opposing lengthwise sides, the opposing lengthwise sides of the wall part or the opposing lengthwise sides of the façade part being enclosed in some areas by the bridge part. ### Claim 10 (depends on 9) The console as recited in claim 9 wherein the façade part runs coplanar to the wall plate element of the wall part. ### Claim 11 (depends on 9) The console as recited in claim 9 wherein the bridge part creates a snug fit for the opposing lengthwise sides of the wall part or for the opposing lengthwise sides of the façade part. ### Claim 12 (depends on 9) The console as recited in claim 9 wherein the fiber-reinforced plastic has a matrix and a plurality of fibers, whereby a coefficient of thermal expansion of the matrix is greater than a coefficient of thermal expansion of the of the wall plate element and the plate element, and a coefficient of thermal expansion of the fibers is smaller than the coefficient of thermal expansion of the wall plate element and the plate element. ### Claim 13 (depends on 1) The console as recited in claim 1 wherein the wall part and the façade part have a ribbed structure encapsulated by the bridge part via injection-molding. ### Claim 14 (depends on 1) The console as recited in claim 1 wherein the bridge part is configured as a single piece. ### Claim 15 (depends on 1) The console as recited in claim 1 wherein the bridge part includes an overmolding encapsulating the wall part and the façade part in the certain areas.
