Description

AUSTRALIA Patents Act 1990 ORIGINAL COMPLETE SPECIFICATION INVENTION TITLE: DOOR CLOSER HOUSING The following statement is a full description of this invention, including the best method of performing it known to us:- -2 DOOR CLOSER HOUSING Field of technology The present invention relates to a door closer housing. 5 Prior art Door closers often have a plastic housing that can be fitted to the door closer body with a snap-on coupling. The housing is installed simply by pushing it onto the door closer. Housing solutions also exist where the door closer housing is open at both ends, 10 and the ends are covered with separate end pieces. WO 2005071204 illustrates such a solution. A plastic housing is not appropriate for installation in some countries / regions, for example due to different regulations and other circumstances. For this reason, a metal housing with open ends has often been used in these regions. The ends are covered with 15 separate plastic end pieces. Thus, such solutions correspond to the method illustrated in said WO publication. Grooves, cut-outs etc. are required for fitting the ends and the housing. Due to separate parts, the installation stage is more cumbersome than the installation of an ordinary plastic housing (that also covers the ends). It is relatively difficult to install the 20 end pieces in practice because the tolerances are not generally very precise, the parts can be slightly distorted etc. A corner often remains slightly loose, and the parts do not fit neatly in place. The costs of manufacture become relatively high if effort is put into very precise and delicate production of the end pieces. 25 Short description of invention The objective of the invention is to create a door closer housing that would eliminate the problems with a metallic open-ended housing. The objective will be achieved as described in the independent claim. The dependent claims describe various embodiments of the invention. 10/08/1O,va 18780 speci.doc,2 -3 The invention comprises a plastic subframe arranged for fitting into the inside of a metal frame. The subfrarne comprises end pieces that fit into the ends of the metal frame. The subframe comprising the end pieces is easy to install. 5 List of figures In the following, the invention is described in more detail by reference to the enclosed drawings, where Figure 1 illustrates an example of a door closer housing according to the invention, Figure 2 illustrates a cross-section of the metal frame according to the invention, 10 Figure 3 illustrates a cross-section of the subframe according to the invention, and Figure 4 illustrates a door closer housing according to the invention with the metal frame over the subframe. Description 15 Figure 1 illustrates an example of a door closer housing I according to the invention. The housing comprises an open-ended metal housing 2 and a plastic subframe 3. The subframe is arranged for fitting into the inside of the metal frame. The subframe comprises end pieces 4 that fit into the ends 5 of the metal frame 2, as well as a body part 6 connecting the end pieces together. 20 The subframe 3 has attachment elements 7 for attaching the subframe to the door closer body. Furthermore, the body part 6 of the subframe may have lightening holes 8 to reduce the weight thereof. The subframe may also have reinforcement parts 9 to provide sufficient rigidity. The lightening holes 8, reinforcement parts 9 and/or changes to the wall thickness of the body part 6 can be used to keep the cost of the subframe 3 25 low/reasonable. The frame also has openings 10 for the door closer functions. The frame may also have openings 11 for the necessary fittings. The metal housing 2 may comprise specific attachment elements 12 for fitting the metal housing on the subframe 3. The metal housing also has provisions for openings 10/08/10,va 18780 speci.doc,3 -4 13 for the door closer functions. The metal housing may also have openings 14 for the necessary fittings. Figure 2 illustrates a cross-section of the metal housing 2 shown in Figure 1. The cross-section shows said fastening elements 12 more clearly. In this embodiment, the 5 fastening elements 12 are formed of the edges of the housing 2, which are bent inwards. Figure 3 illustrates a cross-section of the subframe 3 shown in Figure 1. The cross section is taken at the position of said fastening elements 7 in the subframe. In this embodiment, the fastening elements 7 are inward-pointing projections of the frame, containing a recess/several recesses. The fastening elements in both the subframe and 10 the metal housing can also be implemented in ways other than the example illustrated here. The subframe 3 may be readily fitted into the metal frame 2 at the factory, in which case on-site installation of the housing onto the door closer will be similar to that of a plastic housing. Figure 4 illustrates a readily fitted combination. Installation may also 15 be completely carried out at the installation site. Furthermore, an installation plate known from prior art can be used. An integrated plastic subframe comprising the ends is easy to install and manufacture. The installation result is neat because the corners do not remain loose. It is evident from the embodiments presented above that an embodiment of the 20 invention can be created using a variety of different solutions. It is evident that the invention is not limited to the examples mentioned in this text but can be implemented in many other different embodiments within the scope of the presented claims. Throughout this specification and the claims which follow, unless the context requires otherwise, the word "comprise", and variations such as "comprises" and 25 "comprising", will be understood to imply the inclusion of a stated integer or step or group of integers or steps but not the exclusion of any other integer or step or group of integers or steps. The reference to any prior art in this specification is not, and should not be taken as, an acknowledgment or any form or suggestion that the prior art forms part of the common 30 general knowledge in Australia. 10/08/10,va 18780 speci.doc.4
