Description

Technical area

The invention relates to a door system according to the preamble of patent claim 1 and a door seal according to the preamble of patent claim 8.

State of the art

There are a variety of floor seals for doors known. Simple forms form the sliding seals, which are attached to the side of the door or in a door groove. Furthermore, magnetic door seals are known. Self-releasing mechanical door seals, such as those used, for example, have also proven successful EP 0 338 974 are described.

Such as in EP 1 122 394 shown, such seals are arranged in a U-shaped door groove and screwed at both ends of the door groove with a mounting bracket to the door.

EP 1 486 639 proposes to push a spring-trained clip over an upper web of the seal housing and to attach this clip with attached nails from below into the door groove.

US 3,871,133 discloses a steel door with a lowering seal disposed therein. Between the two side walls of the door a lying c-shaped profile is screwed into which a corresponding guide rail of Absenkdichtung can be inserted.

Also EP 0 609 755 describes a profile rail which is screwed in a groove of a door on the ceiling side to receive a correspondingly shaped seal housing form fit. In one embodiment, the rail and the seal housing on lateral sawtooth profiles, wherein the seal housing is introduced by being knocked or pushed into the rail.

Other seals and their mounts in a door leaf are in DE 815 538 . GB 2 231 360 . EP 1 138 865 and EP 1 772 586 described.

These door seals are either not suitable for mechanical or automatic attachment, their installation is time consuming and / or it will be needed for the assembly tools. The machine-mountable seals described are constructed relatively complicated. They can not be cut and they are more expensive and more prone to failure than simple door seals. Furthermore, the fixation in screwless mounted seals is inadequate, especially in the case of wooden doors. Another disadvantage is that many of these seals can only be dismantled if the door is lifted out of their hinges.

Usually these gaskets and doors are packaged separately and not delivered to the construction sites at the same time and assembled there or the gaskets are already assembled in the door and are delivered together.

Further reveal DE 36 25 834 and DE 203 00 265 Seals, which are held in a raised position in the door groove for transport. For this purpose, however, relatively complex devices are necessary.

Presentation of the invention

It is therefore an object of the invention to simplify the storage and transport of the door seal.

This object is achieved by a door system and a door seal with the features of claims 1 and 8.

The door seal according to the invention can be retained on or in the door leaf in a position of use intended for use, the door seal having a housing and a sealing element held therein, which is directed downwards in this intended position of use. According to the invention, the door seal is held in a storage position and / or transport position in or on the door leaf, which differs from the position of use.

Preferably, it is arranged in reverse orientation to its position of use or orientation, so that the sealing element is directed upwards. However, it is also possible that the sealing element is held rotated by 90 ° or at a different angle with respect to their orientation in the position of use. By these arrangements, the sealing element is protected in the transport position and not exposed.

The seal does not have to be packed separately. It can also be mechanically introduced into the door leaf by the door manufacturer. Since the door seal is already connected to the door leaf, it does not need its own storage space. Furthermore, it is ensured that the door leaf is delivered in any case together with its door seal. Furthermore, it is possible to optimally protect the door seal and in particular the soft sealing element, so that it is not damaged during storage and during transport as well as during assembly of the door.

In a preferred embodiment, the door seal is inserted laterally in the transport position into a groove of the door leaf and held, in which it is also laterally inserted and held in the position of use, but in a different orientation. As a result, no special recesses must be provided on the door leaf for receiving the door seal in its transport position. Preferably, the groove has a substantially U-shaped cross-section.

It is also advantageous that the door seal can be brought out of their transport position in their operating position when mounted in the door frame door. The entire assembly time can be reduced thereby.

In the case that the mounted door leaf is pivotable by approximately 120 °, the door seal is preferably attached on the door hinge side or in the door leaf. As a result, in the case of a door seal which can be actuated on one side, only one stop is sufficient to compensate for the pressure generated by the actuating rod of the door seal. The door seal does not have to be screwed to the door leaf and can therefore be removed more easily and quickly. As a stop element, a separate, connectable to the housing of the door seal part, for example, an angle element serve. The housing of the door seal can itself have one or more stop elements. Furthermore, the groove of the door leaf can not be formed completely continuous and serve as a one-sided at least upper stop for the inserted door seal.

If the assembled door leaf can be swiveled by less than 120 °, the door seal is preferably fastened on the door side or on the door leaf. In this case, the seal is preferably screwed to the door leaf, in particular if it is actuated on one side.

Preferably, the door seal is a lowering seal. In particular, it is a lowering seal, which automatically lowers by means of an actuating rod when closing the door against a spring force and automatically raises again when opening. In the housing of the seal, a lowerable and liftable sealing strip is preferably arranged, to which one or more sealing elements are attached. In the position of use, the sealing element seals in the lowered state a lower door gap relative to a floor, and in the raised state it ends at a distance to the ground.

However, the door seal may also be, for example, a sliding seal or a magnetic seal.

Preferably, the door seal is in its transport position the end face on one end face or both end faces by means of a retaining element, in particular an adhesive tape, attached to the door leaf.

In a preferred embodiment, the door leaf has a groove in which the door seal is held in its transport position, said groove additionally serving to hold the door seal in its position of use.

In one embodiment, the door seal is held in the groove of the door leaf by means of a tongue and groove joint. It can be arranged freely suspended in the transport system and / or in its position of use in the door leaf. The groove-and-mortise joint forms a lanyard protection element for the door seal. Nut-mortise connections are understood in this application to be both positive and non-positive connections in which lugs, ribs or other protruding elements are received in corresponding receptacles to hold a part in a position.

In another embodiment, this groove of the door leaf at its lower end on both sides inwardly projecting projections or ledges, on which rests the door seal with a seal housing. The groove is stepped and thus designed substantially T-shaped. These projections or ledges form an overflow protection element which prevents the inserted seal from falling down out of the door leaf.

A preferred embodiment of the inventive door seal for a door, in particular for use in the above-mentioned door system, has a cross-sectionally substantially U-shaped, in the intended position of use downwardly open housing with two side walls and an upper web connecting the two side walls. The door seal also has a sealing element held in the housing. According to the invention, the housing has lugs and / or grooves in order to hold the door seal in its position of use in a groove of the door leaf. The housing has lugs and / or grooves to keep the door seal in the groove of the door leaf in a transport position, which differs from the intended use position.

The lugs and / or grooves for holding in the position of use can be identical to the lugs and / or grooves for holding the door seal in its transport position. However, different lugs and / or grooves may be used to achieve the two orientations or positions become. Corresponding counterparts are each provided at a suitable location in the groove of the door leaf.

Preferably, the grooves or lugs for holding the door seal in its transport position on the outer sides of the two side walls, preferably arranged at their lower in use position ends.

Preferably, the lugs or grooves for holding the door seal in its position of use are arranged on the web of the housing.

In one embodiment, the door leaf at its lower end in the intended use position on a downwardly open groove, which has lugs and / or grooves to keep the door seal in a groove and sliding block in its position of use and its transport position. Preferably, the groove has a substantially U-shaped cross-section, wherein the side walls over the entire depth of the groove have a constant distance from each other, d. H. they are plane-parallel to each other.

In a preferred embodiment, a stop or fastening means for fixing the door seal in a groove of a door in a proper position of use is provided, wherein the stop or fastener is pre-mounted on the door seal for use in position of use already in the transport position. However, it may also be easily held together with the door seal in the door and be connected only at or just before mounting the door seal in its position of use with the door seal.

The stop or fastening means is preferably an angular element, which is insertable with a first leg in the housing of the door seal and can be brought with a second leg to bear against an end face of the door leaf. The housing or its upper web has a hole or a retaining lug and the stop or fastening means has on the first leg in the position of use upwardly projecting retaining lug or a hole, wherein the retaining lug of one part with the hole of the other part into engagement can be brought. The second leg preferably has a hole. Preferably, the housing or its upper web is provided at both front ends with a hole or a retaining lug. The stop or fastener is thus snapped into the door seal.

The stop or fastening means may also be designed differently. It does not necessarily have to be an angle element with two legs. It may for example also be formed as a wire part, which is present with two ends laterally on the front side of the door leaf and is hooked with a middle bent to a tab portion in a retaining lug of the seal housing.

If previously and in the following is spoken by door leaves, it is meant a door leaf, which can be used in a door frame. The door leaf can be pivoted with respect to the door frame or moved longitudinally. It also means any kind of sliding doors and folding walls.

Further advantageous embodiments will become apparent from the dependent claims.

Ways to carry out the invention

In 3 is an automatic, by mechanical means releasable lowering seal 2 known type, as shown for example in EP 1 122 394 is described. It has a housing 20 having a substantially U-shaped cross-section, which is designed to be open at the intended use position down. The housing 20 is essentially formed by two mutually parallel side walls and a web connecting them. In this case 20 is a lowering bar 21 . 22 arranged, which via a spring mechanism, not shown, relative to the housing 20 can be raised and lowered. The Absenkleiste consists essentially of a rigid Absenkprofilschiene 21 and a one or more parts attached thereto sealing element 22 ,

casing 20 and lowering profile 21 are preferably made of aluminum, the sealing elements 22 made of an elastomeric material. Preferably, the housing 20 designed so high that the Absenkleiste 21 . 22 is completely absorbed in her in the raised state and thus not surmounted.

The lowering and raising is done by a in 5 illustrated actuating rod or a button 23 triggered, which (r) in the mounted state of the door seal the door hinge side of the door leaf 1 protrudes. This operation button 23 is pressed in closing the door in this and thereby actuates the lowering mechanism. When the door leaf is opened, it is pushed out of the door leaf by spring force, so that the sealing strip is raised again thanks to the lowering mechanism.

The door seal shown here is purely exemplary in nature. The teaching of the invention can also be applied to other known door seals, in particular by means of a mechanism automatically lowerable seals, and in particular on one-sided operable door seals. It can equally be applied to sliding seals, in particular those having a housing and a sealing element held therein.

In 3 is the door seal 2 shown in its raised position of use, the door seal in a groove 11 a partially illustrated door leaf 1 is arranged. The groove 11 is on the bottom of the door leaf 1 arranged and formed open to the lower end side of the same. The groove has a substantially U-shaped cross section with mutually parallel side walls and an upper web. Sidewalls and web preferably form substantially planar surfaces. The groove is designed essentially T-shaped. The side walls of the groove 11 are for this purpose in the lower area, each with an inwardly projecting projection 10 Mistake. The ledge or ledge 10 can be over the entire width of the door leaf 1 extend or only partially or only be arranged in the region of the two vertically extending end faces of the door leaf.

The width of the groove 11 is equal to or slightly larger than the width of the housing 20 , The projections 10 have a distance from each other, which is dimensioned such that the Absenkleiste 21 . 22 is narrower and between the two projections 10 can be lowered through, so that the sealing element 22 can rest on the floor and seal the gap between the door leaf and the floor. The housing 10 lies however with its side walls 201 on the tabs 10 on and so is in the groove 10 held.

A front-side pushing out of the door seal is in the position of use by a stop or fastener 3 prevents it like that for example in the 4 and 5 is shown. This will be explained in more detail below.

In 1 is now the door seal 2 in reverse position in the groove 10 held. This is the door seal 2 again with her case 20 , now with the jetty 200 , on the projections 10 on. In this position, the door seal can be 2 in the door 1 store and transport. This situation is therefore referred to below transport layer.

In this position is in the lower open side of the groove 11 only the rigid bridge 200 of the housing 2 accessible. The soft and thus more susceptible to damage sealing element is directed upward and thus protected from damage inside the groove 11 , between upper web of the groove 11 and housing 20 the door seal 2 , held.

To a lateral falling out of the door seal 2 during transport, it is preferably frontally with a retaining means on the door leaf 1 attached. This is in this example, see 2 , a tape 4 which is on the front of the door leaf 1 over the door seal 2 is glued. Preferably, both front ends of the door seal 2 fixed with such adhesive tapes. Other types of retaining means are possible, however. For example, an edge guard also used for the transport of the door leaf can be designed so that the door seal is kept the same. Furthermore, for example, the lower area or the whole door can be wrapped with a film that holds the door seal in place.

Preferably, in the transport position additionally the stop or fastening means 3 in the groove 11 held. It may, like this in 2 is shown in the upper region of the groove 11 be arranged. As a stop or fastener 3 an angle element is preferably used, as it is in 7 is shown. The angle element 3 has a first leg 32 , Also called insertion legs, and a, preferably arranged at right angles to second leg 34 on, which is also called attack leg. The second leg 34 is with a mounting hole 30 provided for receiving a screw 31 in order of use of the door seal 2 the second leg 34 on a front side of the door leaf 1 to fix.

The first leg 32 serves the firm, but preferably releasable connection with the door seal 2 , He points to the second leg 34 directed back retention nose 33 on. The housing 20 points, like this in 6 is shown, a corresponding hole 204 and a groove, which through the bridge 200 and two on the side walls 201 arranged inwardly projecting ribs 205 is formed. The first leg 32 can be inserted into this groove to assemble the door seal in the door leaf until the retention nose 33 in the hole 204 locks. This intervention can be solved if necessary by means of a suitable tool again. For attachment of the stop or fastener 3 No tools are required on the door seal thanks to the snap connection.

The door seal can be attached either to the door hinge-side end face of the door leaf or to its lock-side end face. 4 shows the attachment to the lock side. Here is the stop or fastener 3 by means of the screw 31 screwed to counteract the pressure of the actuating rod when closing the door leaf and to hold the housing of the door seal so in its position. This arrangement is chosen especially for door leaves, which can not be opened completely enough or enough to push the seal on the door hinge side. This is usually the case with an opening angle of less than 120 °.

The door leaf 1 Now use the door seal in its transport position 1 hang in his fishing. Subsequently, the door seal can be on the door lock side end side of the groove 11 out of the door 1 Pull out laterally, turn around and in the position of use according to 3 again laterally in the groove 11 Push. Subsequently, the stop or fastener can be 3 by means of the screw 31 fix. Also, retrofitting already hinged doors or replacing a door seal can be done in a simple and fast way. The door seal can thus be mounted without the door having to be unhooked from its hinges. Also, the removal of the door seal is easy because after loosening the stop or fastener 3 The seal is simply pushed out of the groove. Of course, it is still anyone free to bring the seal before hanging the door in its position of use.

In 5 is the stop or fastener 3 on the door hinge-side end face of the door leaf 1 arranged. No screw is necessary for this. The second leg 34 serves as a stop and takes the by the operating button 23 generated pressure. This type of attachment is mainly used for door leaves, which can be fully opened or enough to push the seal. This type of attachment can of course be used even if the door seal is mounted before hanging the door leaf. This arrangement has several advantages. On the one hand, the seal can be completely assembled and fastened without tools. On the other hand, the visual appearance of the Improved door system, since the door lock side only the groove and the seal therein, but no mounting bracket and no screws are visible.

It therefore suffices a single stop or fastener 3 and those with the protrusions 10 stepped groove 11 to the door seal 2 in its intended use position in the door leaf 1 to keep.

In the 8th to 11 a second embodiment is shown. It is essentially the same design as the upper embodiment. The angle element used 3 However, it has a relatively short leg whose length X (see 11 ) is equal to or smaller than the height Y of the projections 10 the groove 11 (please refer 9 ). As a result, the stop or fastener 3 already in the transport position on the door seal 2 be preassembled, as in the 8th and 10 is shown. It may in particular be pre-assembled by machine. Again, a single stop or fastener is sufficient again 3 to the door seal 2 in its position of use in the groove 11 to be fixed in position. This is the door seal 2 either mounted before hanging the door or it must be swiveled by at least 120 ° in the suspended state. The assembly and disassembly of this seal is the same as in the example above.

The embodiments described above are particularly suitable for wooden door leaves. In the 12 to 18 an embodiment is shown, which is particularly suitable for metal doors or plastic doors, in particular made of PVC.

The metal door wing 1 again has a downwardly open groove 11 on, which can now have any shape. In this groove is a profile retaining rail 12 attached or molded, as shown in 12a is recognizable. The retaining rail 12 preferably extends over the entire width of the door leaf 1 , However, it can also sections, especially in the area of both end faces of the door leaf 1 be arranged.

This retaining rail 12 serves the door seal 2 both in their position of use ( 12a ) as well as in their transport position ( 14a ) to keep. The housing 20 the door seal 2 has appropriate means for this.

As in the 12a and 17 can be seen, the housing has 20 at his dock 200 molded, upstanding noses 203 on, which preferably over the entire length of the housing 20 and thus the seal 2 extend. The retaining rail 12 shows how these in the 12a and 16 recognizable, on both sides a corresponding groove 121 on. nose 203 and grooves 121 form a groove-groove stone connection. This connection makes the door seal 2 held in their position of use, as well as in 13 is shown.

As in the 12a and 12b is recognizable, are the side walls 201 of the housing 20 at its lower in use position ends with outwardly projecting lugs 202 provided, which also preferably over the entire length of the housing 20 extend. The retaining rail 12 again has a suitable double-sided groove 120 on to those noses 202 to receive in a groove-groove connection. That is in the 14a and 14b as well as in the 15 and 18 recognizable. In this transport position is the seal 2 thus hanging freely in the groove 11 of the door leaf 1 arranged.

Again, thus, the seal, as already described in the other examples, mount by simply pushing in the front side and remove it by pulling or pushing out again. A lateral falling out can be prevented again by stop or fasteners. This stop and fasteners can on the support rail 12 be formed on the housing 20 be formed or fastened as a separate part on the housing or on the retaining rail. Furthermore, the end-side end wall of the metal door can also form the stop for the seal.

Here are two different grooves in the holding means available. With a suitable arrangement of the lugs of the door seal but also the same groove in the holding means can be used for both the position of use as well as for the transport position of the door seal.

Furthermore, an area, in particular the middle area of the side walls, may also be provided with projecting noses or ribs, and the side walls of the groove of the door leaf may each have a groove for receiving these noses. As a result, the door seal is held by the same means both in its position of use as well as in its transport position. This variant is particularly suitable for wooden doors, in which case the projections 10 omitted in the lower part of the groove. The groove can thus have a relatively small depth.

A corresponding example is in the 19 and 20 shown. The housing 20 the seal 2 has on both side walls at half height depending on an outwardly projecting rib or sliding block 24 which runs preferably at a constant height over the entire length of the seal. Matching is in the sidewalls of the groove 11 of the door leaf 1 one fastening groove each 12 ' present, which also on more consistent Height extending over the entire length of the groove 11 extends. This fastening groove 12 ' can be located exactly halfway up the groove. But it can also, as shown here, closer to the upper web of the groove 11 lie, or it may be closer to the lower edge of the door leaf. In any case, there must be sufficient space on both sides of the groove, ie up and down, to fully accommodate the seal both in its position of use and in its transport position. Of course, it is also possible to provide the housing with the mounting groove and the door with the ribs.

As an alternative to the approximately centrally arranged fastening groove, grooves or ribs can also be arranged at the upper and lower end of the side walls. As a result, the housing would be held both in the transport and in the use position in the lower and upper regions.

Of course, in each case the nose, the nose and the groove can be arranged on the respective other part, so that again a groove-groove stone connection is formed. Furthermore, the grooves of the groove and sliding block connection in all variants described above can be arranged on the housing of the seal and the lugs or sliding blocks in the door groove. Of course, in all examples described, the housing is preferably made of aluminum.

The inventive door system and the inventive door seal thus allow a simplified storage and transport of the door seal and increase their protection.
