Mullion-Transom Structure

Abstract

A mullion-transom structure, especially for facades or glass roofs, includes a supporting profile to which at least one infill element is fastened. An insulating strip is arranged on an end face of the infill element. The insulating strip is held on the supporting profile and has at least one hollow chamber. The insulating strip has at least one mobile cover by which the hollow chamber of the insulating strip can be closed.

         21 . The mullion-transom structure according to  claim 14 , wherein the insulating strip comprises a shaped body which comprises a plurality of breakthroughs in a longitudinal direction of the insulating strip. 
     
     
         22 . The mullion-transom structure according to  claim 21 , wherein the breakthroughs are arranged in a strip-like manner in the longitudinal direction of the insulating strip and an area of the breakthroughs assumes at least 50% in relation to the area of the strip, wherein the width of the strip has the same width as the breakthroughs. 
     
     
         23 . The mullion-transom structure according to  claim 22 , wherein the area of the breakthroughs assumes at least 70% in relation to the area of the strip. 
     
     
         24 . The mullion-transom structure according to  claim 14 , wherein the hollow chamber of the insulating strip is subdivided by at least one separating wall. 
     
     
         25 . The mullion-transom structure according to  claim 14 , wherein a heat-insulating strip is foam-expanded into the hollow chamber of the insulating strip. 
     
     
         26 . The mullion-transom structure according to  claim 14 , wherein a base of a groove of the insulating strip comprises a film hinge by which the insulating strip is pivotable in two halves. 
     
     
         27 . The mullion-transom structure according to  claim 14 , wherein a latch is formed for fixing, in a closed position, a shaped body of the insulating strip on an insert part, which insert part is retained in a screw groove. 
     
     
         28 . The mullion-transom structure according to  claim 14 , wherein the insulating strip comprises a shaped body made of plastic, wherein a wall thickness of the shaped body lies in a range of between 0.3 mm to 1.6 mm, 
     
     
         29 . The mullion-transom structure according to  claim 28 , wherein the wall thickness of the shaped body lies in a range of between 0.5 mm to 1.3 mm. 
     
     
         30 . The mullion-transom structure according to  claim 14 , wherein the structure is configured for a facade or a glass roof.
