Abstract
The invention relates to a method for producing window or door elements that have a profile frame made up of profile pieces, and that have at least one glass pane attached thereto. The profile pieces are pre-affixed to each other in order to form corner joints, and subsequently, the at least one glass pane is glued to the pre-affixed profile frame, so that the corner joints attain their stability from the glued-in glass pane.

(canceled)
The method according to claim 16, characterized in that, due to the glued-in glass pane, the corner joints have the stability needed for a window or door element and/or at least the same stability as conventional corner joints at a strength of at least 35 N/mm2, without a stabilizing glass pane.
The method according to claim 16, characterized in that at least one of the corner joints—without the glued-in glass pane—has a stability that is lower than the stability required for a window or door element, and/or in that the corner joints have a strength of less than 35 N/mm2.
The method according to claim 16, characterized in that the affixing is carried out in such a way that the profile sections are joined so as to be essentially liquid-tight.
The method according to claim 16, characterized in that the profile pieces are affixed by welding.
The method according to claim 16, characterized in that the profile pieces are affixed by gluing.
The method according to claim 16, characterized in that the profile pieces are selected from the group consisting of:
- weldable plastic profiles, polyvinyl chloride profiles, hollow profiles, hollow profiles made of metal, hollow profiles made of aluminum, and wood profiles.
The method according to claim 16, characterized in that a hot-melt adhesive is used as the adhesive.
A window or door element produced according to the method of claim 16.
A window or door element comprising a profile frame made up of profile sections that have been pre-affixed to each other and to which a glued-in glass pane has been joined, whereby the pre-affixing has created corner joints that attain the stability required for a window or door element from the glued-in glass pane, or the corner joints attain at least the same stability as conventional corner joints from the glued-in glass pane, namely, a strength of at least 35 N/mm2, without a stabilizing glass pane.
(canceled)
A method for making a window or door element, comprising:
- affixing two or more profile pieces to each other to form an individual corner joint of a profile frame;
- forming the profile frame from multiple corner joints of affixed profile pieces;
- and
- subsequently gluing with adhesive at least one glass pane to the profile frame to form the window or door element so that the corner joints attain stability from the glued-in glass pane.
A method for shortening production cycle time for making a window or door element, comprising:
- pre-affixing two or more profile pieces to each other to form an individual corner joint of a profile frame;
- forming the profile frame from multiple corner joints of pre-affixed profile pieces;
- and
- joining a window pane to the profile frame to form the window or door element.
