Abstract
Abstract A composite section that the frames of a window or a door are made out of or that are used to construct a facade consist of a plastic rail section and of a metal rail section. The metal rail sections face inward when the composite section is employed to construct a window or a door frame, whereas the plastic rail sections constitute the outer shell. The plastic rail section has anchoring webs with free edges that engage recesses in the metal rail sections. The anchoring webs are secured in the recesses because the outer recess webs and/or inner recess webs conform to the shape of the anchoring webs. The plastic rail sections are angular in cross-section and have outer flanks that in the case of a window or door constitute motion-limiting webs or glass-securing strips. The fittings that connect the casement to the window frame and the fittings that anchor the window frame are attached only to the metal rail sections.

Claim 1
Independent Claim
210 words
A heat insulated window casement and frame construction comprising: a plurality of struts forming a frame and abutting casement, wherein the struts comprise plastic rail sections on the side thereof facing outwardly and metal rail sections on the side thereof facing inwardly and means connecting the plastic and metal rail sections for the casement and frame struts including recesses in the metal rail sections and anchoring webs on the plastic rail sections secured in the recesses; connecting fittings only connected to metal rail sections; means forming an antechamber between the plastic rail sections of the frame and casement struts including a strip of sealing material contacting the frame and casement and demarcating the antechamber at one side toward the inside to define a sealing plane and means mounting the sealing strip comprising an attachment foot on the strip and means, including the plastic and metal rails of the window frame, forming a C-shaped anchoring recess receiving the attachment foot and having the base portion thereof formed by one anchoring web of the plastic rail section; and wherein the means connecting the metal and plastic rail section are disposed in the vicinity of the sealing plane and the metal rail sections are disposed behind the sealing plane as seen from outside.
