Description

Die Erfindung bezieht sich auf eine Falttür für Duschkabinen, bestehend aus mehreren Blatteilen mit an ihren einander benachbarten vertikalen Längskanten angeordenten Gelenken, die jeweils aus einem hohlzylindrischen Bauteil an einer Längskante des einen Blatteiles und einem am Umfang des hohlzylindrischen Bauteiles zumindest teilweise anliegenden schalenförmigen Bauteil an einer Längskante des anderen Blatteiles bestehen, wobei an den oberen und unteren Enden der Gelenkteile Steckbauteile vorgesehen sind, welche in dem hohlzylindrischen Bauteil lösbar befestigt sind und mit einem Kopfteil die Endstirnkanten der Bauteile überragen und diese gegen eine axiale Verschiebung sichern.The invention relates to a folding door for shower cubicles, consisting of a plurality of leaf parts with joints arranged on their adjacent vertical longitudinal edges, each of which consists of a hollow cylindrical component on a longitudinal edge of one leaf part and a shell-shaped component at least partially abutting the circumference of the hollow cylindrical component Long edge of the other blade part exist, plug-in components are provided at the upper and lower ends of the joint parts, which are detachably fastened in the hollow cylindrical component and protrude with a head part the end front edges of the components and secure them against axial displacement.

Derartige Falttüren sind beispielsweise aus der DE-A-2 312 745 und der US-A-3 670 797 bekannt geworden. In der erstgenannten Schrift wird das innere hohlzylindrische Bauteile von einem dieses fast völlig umgebenden kanalförmigen Bauteil umfaßt. Um einen erwünscht großen Schwenkwinkel zu erreichen, ist das innere hohlzylindrische Bauteil nicht völlig geschlossen, so daß ab einem bestimmten Schwenkwinkel ein Schenkel des kanalförmigen Bauteiles in das hohlzylindrische Bauteil hineingleiten kann. Es ist somit eine sehr genaue Formgebung der ineinandergreifenden Bauteile erforderlich und ein Zusammensetzen der Falttür, d.h. ihrer Gelenke ist nur durch axiales Ineinanderschieben der Bauteile möglich, da während der Benutzung ein radiales Auseinandergleiten der das Gelenk bildenden Bauteile über den ganzen Schwenkbereich des Gelenkes zu vermeiden ist.Such folding doors are known for example from DE-A-2 312 745 and US-A-3 670 797. In the first-mentioned document, the inner hollow cylindrical component is encompassed by a channel-shaped component that almost completely surrounds it. In order to achieve a desired large swivel angle, the inner hollow cylindrical component is not completely closed, so that from a certain swivel angle one leg of the channel-shaped component can slide into the hollow cylindrical component. A very precise shaping of the interlocking components is therefore required and assembly of the folding door, i.e. their joints is only possible by axially pushing the components into each other, since during use a radial sliding apart of the components forming the joint is to be avoided over the entire swivel range of the joint.

In der zweitgenannten US-Patentschrift liegen ein innerer, geschlitzter hohlzylindrischer Bauteil und ein äußerer schalenförmiger Bauteil flächig aneinander an, wobei der äußere schalenförmige Bauteil den zylindrischen Bauteil auf mehr als 180° umgibt, um ein radiales Auseinanderfallen des Gelenkes zu vermeiden. Dadurch kann dieses Gelenk und damit die Falttürteile nur um einen begrenzten Schwenkwinkel zueinander verschwenkt werden. Auch hier ist für einen Zusammenbau der Gelenke ein axiales Ineinanderschieben der Bauteile erforderlich, was fertigungstechnisch aufwendig ist. Das Steckbauteil wird hier durch eine in das innere hohlzylindrische Bauteil eingeschraubte Schraube gebildet, welche mit einem an den Stirnseiten der Bauteile anliegenden Ring die Bauteile gegen axiale Verschiebung sichert.In the second-mentioned US patent, an inner, slotted hollow cylindrical component and an outer shell-shaped component lie flat against one another, the outer shell-shaped component surrounding the cylindrical component at more than 180 ° in order to prevent the joint from falling apart radially. As a result, this joint and thus the folding door parts can only be pivoted to one another by a limited pivoting angle. Here, too, an axial pushing of the components into one another is required for assembly of the joints, which is complex in terms of production technology. The plug-in component is formed here by a screw screwed into the inner hollow cylindrical component, which secures the components against axial displacement with a ring abutting the end faces of the components.

Aus den US-A-35 59 352 und 3 677 322 sind bei als Raumteiler verwendbaren Trennwänden Kappenförmige Kopfteile bekannt, welche auf hohlzylindrische Pfosten zwischen benachbarten Vertikalkanten von Wandblatteilen aufsetzbar sind und eine Gleitrinne bilden, in welcher die Wandblatteile tragende Beschlagteile gleiten können. Diese Beschlagteile umgeben den Pfosten auf weniger als 180°. Damit ist zwar eine gelenkige Verbindung zwischen den Wandblatteilen zu deren wahlweiser winkliger Einstellung zueinander geschaffen. Es ist jedoch ein zusätzlicher von den Wandteilen getrennter Mittelpfosten erforderlich, der eine Abstützung am Boden erfordert. Außerdem sichert die Anbringung der Wandblatteile mittels kurzer Beschlagteile keine spritzwasserdichte Gelenkverbindung zwischen benachbarten Wandteilen. Für eine Falttür für Duschkabinen ist eine solche Gelenkverbindung daher nicht geeignet.From US-A-35 59 352 and 3 677 322 in partition walls which can be used as a partition, cap-shaped head parts are known which can be placed on hollow cylindrical posts between adjacent vertical edges of wall panel parts and form a sliding channel in which the wall panel parts carrying fitting parts can slide. These fitting parts surround the post at less than 180 °. This creates an articulated connection between the wall panel parts for their optional angular adjustment to one another. However, an additional central post separate from the wall parts is required, which requires a support on the floor. In addition, the attachment of the wall panel parts by means of short fitting parts does not ensure a splash-proof joint connection between adjacent wall parts. Such a hinge connection is therefore not suitable for a folding door for shower cubicles.

Der Erfindung liegt die Aufgabe zugrunde, bei einer Falttür für Duschkabinen der eingangs genannten Art die Gelenke so auszubilden, daß ein Schwenkwinkel der Blattteile zueinander bis zu 180° ermöglicht ist, also eine Stellung der Blatteile von parallel aneinanderliegend bis zu einer Stellung in einer Ebene zuläßt.The invention has for its object to provide the joints in a folding door for shower cubicles of the type mentioned in such a way that a pivoting angle of the leaf parts to each other up to 180 ° is possible, thus allowing a position of the leaf parts from parallel to one another to a position in one plane .

Zur Lösung dieser Aufgabe wird erfindungsgemäß vorgeschlagen, daß das schalenförmige Bauteil das hohlzylindrische Bauteil auf weniger als 180° seines Umfanges umgibt und das Kopfteil der Steckbauteile als die Endstirnkanten der Bauteile umgreifende und die Bauteile auch radial in jeder Schwenklage zusammenhaltende Kappe ausgebildet ist, wobei das die Kappe bildende Kopfteil einen zylindrischen, geschlitzten Ansatz aufweist, der in das hohlzylindrische Bauteil paßt und durch einen konischen Mutterkörper einer von außen in das Kopfteil eingesetzten Schraube klemmend in den hohlzylindrischen Bauteil verspreizt wird und der Mutterkörper gegen eine Mitnahme mit der Schraube drehgesichert ist.To achieve this object, it is proposed according to the invention that the shell-shaped component surrounds the hollow cylindrical component to less than 180 ° of its circumference and the head part of the plug-in components as the end end edges of the components and the components are also held together radially in each pivoting position, which is the Cap-forming head part has a cylindrical, slotted approach, which fits into the hollow cylindrical component and is clamped by a conical nut body of a screw inserted into the head part from the outside in the hollow cylindrical component and the nut body is secured against rotation with the screw.

Dadurch, daß die das Gelenk bildenden Bauteile, der hohlzylindrische und der schalenförmige Bauteil, mittels der Steckbauteile sowohl in radialer als auch in axialer Richtung zusammengehalten werden, ist erreicht, daß das schalenförmige Bauteil das hohlzylindrische Bauteil auf weniger als 180° zu umfassen braucht, so daß der Schwenkwinkel der Türblatteile zueinander nicht eingeengt ist. Auch ist der Zusammenbau derartiger Gelenke und damit Türblatteile wesentlich erleichtert, da die Bauteile einfach aneinandergelegt werden können und mittels der in das hohlzylindrische Bauteil eingesetzten und dort festgeklemmten Steckbauteile miteinander verbunden werden können. Damit ist auch das Auswechseln einzelner Türblatteile bei eingebauter Falttür möglich, falls einzelne Türblatteile beschädigt sind.Characterized in that the components forming the joint, the hollow cylindrical and the shell-shaped component, are held together by means of the plug-in components both in the radial and in the axial direction, it is achieved that the shell-shaped component needs to encompass the hollow cylindrical component at less than 180 °, so that the swivel angle of the door panel parts is not restricted to one another. The assembly of such joints and thus door leaf parts is also made considerably easier since the components can simply be placed against one another and connected to one another by means of the plug-in components inserted into the hollow cylindrical component and clamped there. It is also possible to replace individual door leaf parts with a built-in folding door if individual door leaf parts are damaged.

Zweckmässige Ausgestaltungen des Steckbauteiles sind in den Unteransprüchen gekennzeichnet.Appropriate configurations of the plug-in component are characterized in the subclaims.

An example embodiment of the invention is described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Show it
  • Fig. 1 in view of a folding door with three doors leaf parts;
  • Fig. 2 is a view of the folding door of Figure 1 from above.
  • Fig. 3 is a sectional view taken along the line 111-111 in Fig. 1;
  • Fig. 4 is a sectional view taken along the line IV-IV in Fig. 3 and
  • Fig. 5 shows a plug-in component in an exploded view.

Die dargestellte Falttür besteht aus drei Türblattteilen 1, welche beispielsweise aus einem Leichtmetallrahmen 2 mit eingesetzten durchscheinanden Scheiben 3 bestehen. Oben und unten ist der Leichtmetallrahmen 2 jeweils mit einer Gummileiste 3a versehen. Die vertikalen Längskanten jedes Türblatteiles 1 weisen jeweils an der einen Längskante ein hohlzylindrisches Bauteil 4 und an der gegenüberliegenden Längskante ein schalenförmiges Bauteil 5 auf, welches in der Krümmung dem hohlzylindrischen Bauteil 4 angepasst ist und dieses am äußeren Umfang mit weniger als 180° umfasst. Die hohlzylindrischen Bauteile 4 und die schalenförmigen Bauteile 5 benachbarter Türblatteile 1 bilden ein Gelenk. Dieses Gelenk wird jeweils an den oberen und unteren Enden durch Steckbauteile 6 zusammengehalten, wie aus Fig. 3 bis 5 näher ersichtlich.The folding door shown consists of three door leaf parts 1, which consist, for example, of a light metal frame 2 with translucent panes 3 inserted. The light metal frame 2 is provided with a rubber strip 3a at the top and bottom. The vertical longitudinal edges of each door leaf part 1 each have a hollow cylindrical component 4 on one longitudinal edge and a shell-shaped component 5 on the opposite longitudinal edge, which is adapted to the hollow cylindrical component 4 in the curvature and comprises this on the outer circumference with less than 180 °. The hollow cylindrical components 4 and the shell-shaped components 5 of adjacent door leaf parts 1 form a joint. This joint is held together at the upper and lower ends by plug-in components 6, as can be seen in more detail in FIGS. 3 to 5.

Jedes Steckbauteil 6 besteht aus einem Kopfteil 7, welches mit einem Rand 8 versehen ist, welcher die oberen bzw. unteren Stirnkanten der Bauteile 4 und 5 umgreift und eine Kappe bildet. Ferner weist das das Kopfteil einen zylindrischen, mit Schlitzen 9 versehenen Ansatz 10 auf, welcher in das hohlzylindrische Bauteil 4 paßt. Durch einen konischen Mutterkörper 11 mit Gewindebohrung 12, in welcher eine durch das Kopfteil 7 ragende Schraube 13 einschraubbar ist, wird der Ansatz 10 gespreizt und in dem hohlzylindrischen Bauteil 4 verklemmt. Eine in einen der Schlitze 9 eingreifende Nase 14 am Mutterkörper 11 verhindert ein Mitdrehen des Mutterkörpers während des Festziehens der Schraube 13.Each plug-in component 6 consists of a head part 7 which is provided with an edge 8 which engages around the upper and lower end edges of the components 4 and 5 and forms a cap. Furthermore, the head part has a cylindrical extension 10 provided with slots 9, which fits into the hollow cylindrical component 4. By means of a conical nut body 11 with a threaded bore 12, into which a screw 13 projecting through the head part 7 can be screwed, the extension 10 is spread and clamped in the hollow cylindrical component 4. A lug 14 on the nut body 11 engaging in one of the slots 9 prevents the nut body from rotating when the screw 13 is tightened.

Für die Befestigung der Falttür an einer Wand ist eine Leiste 15 vorgesehen, welche zweckmässig ein hohlzylindrisches Bauteil trägt, um mit einem schalenförmigen Bauteil eines ersten Türblatteiles 1 ein Gelenk zu bilden. Es können auch Türblatteile 1 vorgesehen sein, die an beiden Längskanten übereinstimmende Bauteile 4 bzw. 5 aufweisen, je nachdem, wie beabsichtigt ist, die Türblatteile zusammenzusetzen und welcher Endabschluß an der freien Längskante der Falttür erwünscht ist.For fastening the folding door to a wall, a strip 15 is provided, which expediently carries a hollow cylindrical component in order to form a joint with a shell-shaped component of a first door leaf part 1. It can also be provided door leaf parts 1, which have matching components 4 and 5 on both longitudinal edges, depending on how it is intended to assemble the door leaf parts and which end closure on the free longitudinal edge of the folding door is desired.
