Estimating the term…
A glazing profile strip (1) which has a foot (9) with a toothing (10) for anchoring the strip (1) on a spacer (2) connected to the structure (4) of the building, has a slot (11) in that foot (9). This slot initiates at the outside (12) of the two sealing lips (6) protruding from the foot (9) and first forms a though-like enlargement (13). This enlargement serves for receiving a filler profile strip (17) that is connected to the sealing lips (6) only by thin bridges (18). The slot then continues below that enlargement by forming a narrow portion (14) having a flared mouth (141) and terminates in a larger groove (15). The narrow portion (14) is formed by two ribs opposed to each other which have a lower side (25) formed as an undercut. That side (25) serves as a rest for a head of a replacement filler profile strip which is inserted into the slot. Prior to this insertion, the present filler profile strip (17) is removed by separating its thin bridges (18) from the walls of the enlargement. The lower side (25) of the narrow portion secures the head of the replacement profile strip and with it the strip itself against being pulled out of the slot. Thanks to the possibility of replacing the filler profile strip (17) by another one of different design, different dimensions and different aspect the glazing profile strip can be used for different requirements without altering its basic concept.
A glazing profile strip for simultaneous holding and sealing of solid glazing or filler elements on planar or vaulted outer faces of buildings, securable against a spacer attached to the structure of the building for sealing said glazing or filler elements on their outer sides, said glazing profile strip having a substantially mushroom-shaped cross section with an anchoring foot and two sealing lips radiating therefrom, the glazing profile strip comprising a slot of variable width which beginning at a convex upper side of the glazing profile strip between the two sealing lips and, having at its beginning its greatest width for creating a trough-shaped enlargement having opposite longitudinally extending walls, said slot continuing at a reduced width into the anchoring foot, the glazing profile strip further comprising a filler profile strip inserted in said trough-shaped enlargement, said filler profile strip being connected to at least one of the walls delimiting said enlargement at most by a thin bridge uniting with the glazing profile strip and with said filler profile strip facilitating removal of the filler profile strip from said enlargement.
