Description

Adjustable wall

Technical field

The invention relates to an adjustable wall consisting of individual door, esp. wall elements which are used to enclose buildings or parts of buildings. However, during office hours, these adjustable walls are usually moved away from their mutual shifting into a side-by-side or parking position. Door, respectively. the wall elements are hung on a guide rail fixed in the ceiling. Door, respectively. the wall elements can be made as all-glass parts, provided with a top profile rail for topping and a bottom profile rail for securing them, or the entire glass surface can be framed by this profile rail _(> rail). The profiles are then glass table.

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

DE 4041925 discloses a hinged adjustable wall consisting of several elements. The arrangement of the individual elements is carried out by means of so-called movable members which are provided in pairs on each of the elements. These movable members are mounted on a profile rail located at the top of each of the wall elements and are guided in a guide rail fixed to the ceiling. The guide rails are designed such that the movable members are located inside and are therefore not visible to passers-by. The movable members are provided with *

in addition to the hanging rollers, side rollers for precise guidance.

An adjustable wall of this type is further known, for example, from the DORMA documentation. These glass sliding fronts serve as shop windows and entrances to shops or gastronomic operations, including conservatories, where they protect from drafts and prevent the ingress of rain. Do'tzv. In the parking position to which individual sliding wings can be relocated without any problem in order to save space, the individual sliding wings are moved for as long as the entrance facade is to be left ¹ free. The individual sliding wings are not guided in the floor, eliminating the risk of stumbling and trapping dirt. Locks or similar securing elements may be provided within the profile rails adjacent to the floor, which are fastened to the individual wall elements. The blocking is carried out manually. In the floor there are inserts 'for securing elements' resp. The tongues of the locks or plugs into which the buttons, modified by means of the buttons, are inserted. on each of the sliding wings, these locking elements engage. The sliding wings, which are in a row after the shop has been closed, are thus securely fastened by means of these locking elements. However, this type of locking is very costly since each individual sliding leaf must be firmly secured.

The locking of individual door elements, which are automatically locked by means of a locking bolt, is further known from U.S. Pat. No. 314376 0. Here, a recessed locking bolt cooperates in the upper door frame with a rotatably mounted one. a lever system which is loaded by a spring. In this lever system, a control lever protrudes in the door flange of the door which, when the door is approaching the closed position, simultaneously plugs the plug into the opening located in the door leaf. When the locking bolt is inserted into the door leaf insert, the door leaf is locked.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION The object of the invention is to fully automate the hitherto very expensive, manually operated locking of the individual sliding elements.

This object is achieved by at least two consecutive door and / or wall elements being locked in the floor by forced locking. This is accomplished by providing a locking device on the front profile bar to which the tappet is connected. At. By contacting one face of the door leaf with the other face, ^one tappet automatically actuates the locking pin which pushes into the 'housing'recessed; in the floor'. In this case, the locking pin is 'loaded' by the elastic element, so that if it is not. the locking pin is inserted inside the locking device and thus also inside the door or the door. wall element. .

Inside the locking device, a locking pin is mounted vertically in the opening. The locking bolt is in this case loaded by a spring, so that when the locking bolt is not in operation, it is pulled into the locking device by means of a tappet. It further cooperates with the locking pin horizontally arranged _to . the tappet with the control plate connected. -This actuating plate is horizontally displaceable in the recess within the interlocking device: The tappet protrudes out of the interlocking device and thus also from the door or door. wall .wings. Inside the locking device, a through hole is provided in the same axis in which the locking pin moves, through which the guide pin passes. The guide pin passes through the control plate at the same time. an oblique longitudinal through hole formed therein,

As a result of the horizontal movement of the tappet, when the tappet is in the door and door respectively. By means of forced coupling of the guide pin and the oblique longitudinal through hole in the control plate, the locking pin is simultaneously pulled out of the locking device and hence also from the door or door. wall wings. This engages the locking pin in the housing located in the floor. When the pin is inserted into the housing, the guide pin located in the vertical through hole as well as in the oblique longitudinal through hole reaches its lowest position.

In this way, at the contact edges of the two interlocking wings, the tappet is firstly inserted into the corresponding opening of the adjacent leaf, whereupon, as a result of the forced movement, the locking pin is pulled out of the locking device. At the same time, the tappet is pushed into the locking device.

In fact, the tappet remains a certain portion of the blocking device extended by the depth of the opening of the adjacent wing, thereby simultaneously achieving a mutual locking of the two

^T1 'Another solution of the task according to the invention consists in that the locking bolt is permanently loaded by the force of the elastic element, so that when the absence · tappet>lock' automatically retracted bolt · ζ housing in the floor. In addition to the use of the spring element itself, the spring element can be coupled to a lever system to which the spring is attached, thereby achieving a better transmission of forces when the locking pin is pulled out of the housing when unlocked. However, within the scope of the invention, the resilient element can be completely omitted, provided that a push-pull follower is provided on one side of the displacement element, and a corresponding locking device is provided on the opposite side. If it occurs on the door leaf, respectively. the tappet wall having a fork-shaped recess in the top-to-bottom direction is then automatically provided with a fork-like recess. • · '.

By means of a pin located on the locking bolt together with it, it is carried away, i.e. pushed from below from the foot profile rail and inserted into a housing located in the floor. Due to the inclined fork-like design of the carrier, the locking pin is thus locked in the locking position. If the sliding wall element, together with the carrier, is to be moved back to the so-called parking position, the carrier again moves out of the base profile of the next wall element. At the same time, as a result of the design, the locking pin is automatically withdrawn from the locking position, i.e. again. from a case made in the floor. The locking pin is then locked in position inside the foot profile. The locking pin can be secured, for example, by a lateral adjusting pin provided inside the circumferential groove. The retracting force can be adjusted by means of the adjusting pin.

Such a locking device, without being visible to passing persons, is capable of automatically and safely interlocking the sliding wall elements in the floor. This overcomes manually operated locking systems so far, which constitutes a substantial relief for the operator. In the solution according to the invention, no additional tools are also required to block the individual door or door interlocks. of wall elements.

The adjustable wall element, which is the wing 42, is fixedly fixed to the wall by means of the locking device 30. The wings 2 adjoining it may be 'optionally with one another' but at the same time in the floor 3 is blocked by means of a J locking device. Individual wings 2 in this version '.

they can then be displaced in the direction of movement 19, and when the two wings 2 are in contact with each other, it is also possible to lock them in relation to each other and to the floor.

Figure 2 shows the locking device 6 according to the invention, namely in the locking position, with the locking pin 21 being located in the housing 25 formed in the floor 3. The lower end of the housing 25 is fixed to the floor 3 by a screw connection 27 .. For easier insertion of the locking

A pin 24 is formed at the lower end of the pin 21 into the housing 25 at its lower end.

The locking device 6 essentially consists of a base body 7 in which a vertical opening 10 is formed. A sliding bearing 23 is pressed into the bore 10 to better guide the locking pin 21. Inside the base body 7, the locking pin 21 has a larger diameter than the diameter of its outlet portion. A spring 14 is provided on the larger diameter of the locking pin 21 to keep it in the rest position. On the one hand, the spring 14 is supported on the end shoulder 32 of the opening 10 formed in the base body 7, while on the other hand the spring 14 rests on the collar 31 'formed on the locking pin 11. firmly recessed guide-pin 12. The guide pin 12 is of such a length that it projects beyond the diameter of the locking pin 21. The ends of the guide pin 12 protruding from the locking pin 21 are displaceable in a through hole 13 which is formed vertically in the base body. a recess, not shown here. In the recess there is a horizontally displaceable control plate 22 inside the base body 7. The control plate 22 cooperates with the tappet 11, which is also displaceable and protrudes from the wing 2. The tappet 11 is thereby fixedly connected to the control plate. 22. In addition, an inclined recess 28 in the form of a through-hole is formed in the control plate 22, which also extends through the guide pin 12. As the tappet 11 moves in the horizontal direction, the locking pin 21 is displaced in the vertical direction. In this case, both the inclined recess 28 and the through hole 13 are dimensioned relative to each other so as to allow a purely horizontal movement of the control plate. 22, both in the recess 20 and inside the locking pin 21.
