DESCRIPTION:
BRIEF SUMMARY
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
The invention relates to a burglary-preventative profile set for a panel which is movably mounted with respect to a frame, comprising two elongated profiled strips for respective attachment to the panel and the frame, which strips mutually cooperate, at least when in the mounted state, so as to cover a chink between the panel and the frame, at least in the closed position of the panel. The invention also relates to a profiled strip for application in such a set.
Such a profile set is generally employed in the case of doors and windows which are attached to a frame so as to be turnable or slidable, and is generally manufactured from metal or another robust material. In such a scenario, one of the two strips is mounted on the lock side of the window or the door, whereas the other strip is attached to the neighboring cornice of the frame. In the closed state of the panel, the two strips engage, or otherwise cooperate in such a manner as to completely cover the chink between the panel and the frame from the outside. The said chink is hereby made inaccessible to a jimmy, crowbar or other such instrument with which the panel could be forced out of the frame.
A set of the type stated in the preamble is known from an international patent application in the name of the current applicant, which was laid open to public inspection under the number 89/04907. The set described therein comprises two profiled metal strips which, at least in the closed state of the panel, close around one another at the lock side of the panel at the location of the chink, thereby closing off the chink. The strips are mounted on the outside of the panel, and thereby render the chink externally inaccessible to a jimmy or other such instrument.
As it is, the known burglary-preventative profile sets offer efficacious burglary prevention. However, in many cases, the known sets are such that the screw or clamping organs with which the strips are attached can also be accessed in the closed state, in the case one or both strips. For this reason, use should be made of burglary-preventative organs, which are relatively expensive and which do not allow subsequent adjustment of the strip concerned.
It is true that the known set of two purely U-shaped strips does not have this drawback, but the covering of the mounting holes in such a set makes mounting considerably more difficult. especially in the case of the strip which is to be attached to the frame.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
It is inter alia an object of the invention to provide a burglary-preventative profile set of the type stated in the preamble, in which the attachment apertures are completely covered in the closed state, and which does not suffer from this drawback. A further object of the invention is to provide a burglary-preventative profile set of the type stated in the preamble, which consists of two profiles of the same form and consequently offers industrial-economic advantages. Another object of the invention is to provide a profile set of the type stated in the preamble, which is relatively compact. A further object of the invention is to provide a profile set of the type stated in the preamble, which, if so desired, can be adjusted with relative ease. Moreover, it is an object of the invention to provide a profile set of the type stated in the preamble, which offers increased burglary prevention.
To this end, a profile set of the type stated in the preamble is characterized according to the invention in that both profiled strips comprise a U-profile with a short leg and a long leg, and that the long leg comprises an inward buckle such that the long leg comprises two parts which are practically mutually parallel and which, at least across the thickness of the profile, lie in displacement with respect to one another and pass into one another via the buckle.
The fact that both strips in this set are of the same form is of great advantage from the point of view of profile production, whereby it is now no longer necessary to adapt machines or to employ a se
