DE8715989U1 - Front cover of a standard garage door, usually made of thin, galvanized sheet steel, or another large-area door - Google Patents

Abstract

The garage door (2) is covered with metal support elements (3 to 5) of different possible stamping, and aligned with the aid of magnetic plates; the free space between the support plates (3.2) and the visible plates (3.1) is filled with insulating materials (3.7). <IMAGE>

The innovation concerns an additional front cover of a standard garage door, usually made of thin/galvanized sheet steel, or of another large-area door.

Convertible prefabricated garages are often only equipped with doors of the simplest design. For example, the door frame is given the necessary rigidity by a corrugated door leaf, whereby the door leaf is 0.5 to 0.75 mm thick and preferably galvanized.

These single garages are usually satisfactory for a few years, but later they lose the necessary rigidity and weather resistance, in connection with the usually inadequate foundations of these prefabricated garages, which then, due to warping, no longer allow the door to be closed sufficiently securely.

It needs to be realigned and usually a new coat of paint needs to be applied.

This is often difficult due to the uneven detachment of the zinc layer and uneven corrosion, as the new coat does not adhere evenly over the entire surface.

However, it cannot be described as adequate in view of the almost non-existent thermal insulation, although many builders protect the lightweight prefabricated building panels somewhat better by plastering them.

The often crooked, groaning gate more or less relegates all of these measures to the realm of futility.

Taking this situation into account, it is the task
This innovation is a front cover of the type described above, which, in addition to a clearly good insulating effect, remains practically corrosion-free and whose surface structure and color can be designed in a wide range and is maintenance-free

The innovative solution to this problem is
before,

that the door frame, which is stiffened by a corrugated or ribbed door leaf, is reinforced by
the level of the door leaf and/or the level of the
Gate frame arranged, square or rectangular shaped, mi-f from the arrangement level outwards, directed, circumferentially increasing stepped cross-sections having support elements with the
Gate leaf and the gate frame are connected
are and

that in the space between the visible panels of the support elements and the door leaf, support panels are arranged at a distance from the door leaf,

The space between the supporting panels and the visible panels is filled with insulating materials.

This design largely meets the requirements of the task in terms of insulation and the possibility of designing the surface structure, whereby the support elements can be made from thin steel sheet as well as from light metal sheets that are usually anodized in different colors. Differently colored plastics, especially fiber-reinforced plastics, can also be used.

can be adjusted and fixed.

This design ensures that partial unevenness of the door leaf, e.g. dents _, can be easily compensated by adjusting the support bolts.

This largely avoids the need for individual adjustments.

The difference between these elements relates to the edge design.

Thus, the corner elements 3 with two stop strips offset by 90°, the edge elements 4 with one stop strip and the inner elements 5, i.e. the extension panels, only have to have a comprehensive border, whereby in the case of elements 3 the two stop strips grip around the lateral border of the gate frame 2..2, while the edge elements 4 only overlap the gate frame with one stop strip.

The stop strips of elements 3 and 4 are connected to the gate frame 2.2 by sealing compound connections 3.8*

The stepped face plate 3.1 or 4.1 or 5.1 is fitted with the support plate 3.2, to which two or four sleeves 3.3 are connected in such a way that the support bolts 3.4 received by it each receive a magnetic plate 3.5 with a sealing compound 3.10 on top and enable the support elements to be laid flat, parallel to the plane of the gate frame 2.2 *

Any dents in the recessed door leaf 2*1 can be easily "covered up" by the adjustable distance between the visible panels 3*1 and this.

92/1/87

The subsequent positioning assigned to the support element 3 from 3.1 to 3.10 is to be transferred mentally to the basic positions of the support elements 4 and 5 since these support elements are designed equivalently.

In the support plates 3.2, whose visible panels 3.1 generally have only one peripheral edge 3.2.2 directed towards the visible panel, one or more filling openings 3.6, preferably at the same height, are provided for injecting or pouring in a mass forming insulating foam 3.7.

The joints between the support elements 3 to 5, i.e. between the adjacent elements, are sealed by the sealing compound connections 3.9.

The visible panels 3.1, 4.1 and 5.1 of the support elements 3, 4 and 5 can be designed in any color and shape, whereby the support elements up to 5, viewed as a whole, offer outstanding thermal protection for the garage.
