Abstract

The frame (2-5) of a door (1) is larger than the wall opening (14) in association with which the door is to be mounted. Consequently, the frame cannot be mounted within the wall opening. Instead it is mounted at one side of the wall (11).

Description

  • The present invention relates to a structural assembly of a door in combination with a wall having an opening which is to be closed and opened by means of a leaf of the door, said leaf being hinged to a surrounding frame.
  • The usual manner of mounting doors in wall openings is to position the frame in a slightly larger wall opening in which it is secured by wedges, nails and/or screws whereupon there is mounted a lining covering the joint between the frame and the door opening on both sides, possibly after adding ledges to increase the thickness of the frame to the same thickness as the wall. Such a mounting requires many parts and operational steps. Above all it is cumbersome to adjust the door if the building settles, since the lining must then first be removed.
  • The object of the present invention is to provide a door which simplifies the mounting operation and provides a more effective construction of the building, while at the same time being easily adaptable to modern interiors.
  • The door assembly according to the invention is characterized in that the lateral frame members or jambs have approximately the same thickness as the door leaf and lie substantially in the plane thereof, the width of the jambs in the said plane is substantially greater than their thickness perpendicular to the said plane and the door is secured to the wall on one side thereof with the jambs mounted against the wall surface adjacent the opening and a sealing strip is provided between the frame and the wall surface and extends a distance inside the frame in order to form a rabbet for the door leaf.
  • German Patent Specification DE-C-890,711 published in 1953 discloses a door leaf hinged to a jamb of approximately the same thickness and of a width in the plane of the door leaf substantially greater than its thickness. The jamb is clamped to one side of the wall adjacent the door opening and the door is held closed by a spring to form a temporary shutter protecting a room in the course of construction against draughts and cold. The use of clamps, with provision for them to pass between the door and the jamb, and the lack of a frame make this prior device wholly unsuitable as a permanent door assembly.
  • Further features and advantages of the present invention will appear from the following specification, reference being had to the drawing which illustrates an embodiment of the door according to the invention.
    • Fig. 1 is a sectional view of a wall with a door according to the invention.
    • Fig. 2 is a horizontal section on a larger scale along the line II-II in Fig. 1.
    • Figs. 3 and 4 are vertical sections along the lines III-III and IV-IV respectively in Fig. 2.
  • The door illustrated in the drawing consists of a door leaf 1 and a frame which has about the same thickness as the door leaf 1. The frame is constituted by two vertical pilasterstrip-like, relatively wide lateral frame members or jambs 2 and 3, respectively, which at the top and the bottom are interconnected by a thin top frame member or lintel 4 and a thin sill bar 5, respectively, both being made of metal. The lintel 4 may preferably have an angular cross-section for greater stiffness, whereas the sill bar 5 may be covered by a low-profiled covering rib 6 of plastic material which may preferably have a curved upperface to facilitate passage of trolleys, wheeled chairs and the like through the door opening.
  • The door leaf 1 may in the usual manner be hinged to one of the jambs by means of hinges 7, and in order to provide a larger stability and rigidity the hinge flap 8 that is to be attached to the jamb 2 may take the form of an angularfitting having a leg 9 extending along the inner side of the jamb 2.
  • Rabbets for the door leaf 1 may be provided in the jambs 2 and 3, but may also as indicated in the drawing be provided by flat strips 10 mounted between the wall 11 and each of the jambs 2 and 3. A corresponding strip 10' may be provided between the jamb and the wall at the outer edge of the jamb in order to provide a uniform spacing of the jamb from the wall 11.
  • The door according to the invention may be mounted on one side or the other of the wall 11, for instance by means of two bolts or screws 12 through each of the jambs 2 and 3. As indicated in the drawing the screws or bolts 12 may be secured in expanding plastic plugs 15. The drilled holes 15 and 17 in the wall 11 and the jamb 2, respectively, may have the same diameter and may be drilled in one operation, whereupon the plastic plug 15 may be inserted in the wall 11 through the hole 17 in the jamb 2. The screws or bolts 12 may also be covered by plugs 13 of the same material as in the jambs 2 or 3 or of another material. As illustrated in Fig. 2, it is preferred to mount the door so that the lateral edges of the door leaf 1 extend in substantially the same planes as the lateral edges of the opening 14 in the wall 11.

Claims (4)

1. A structural assembly of a door (1-5) in combination with a wall (11) having an opening (14) which is to be closed and opened by means of a leaf (1) of the door, said leaf being hinged to a surrounding frame (2-5), characterized in that the lateral frame members or jambs (2, 3) have approximately the same thickness as the door leaf (1) and lie substantially in the plane thereof, the width of the jambs (2, 3) in the said plane is substantially greater than their thickness perpendicular to said plane, the door is secured to the wall (11) on one side thereof with the jambs (2, 3) mounted against the wall surface adjacent the opening (14), and a sealing strip (10) is provided between the frame (2, 3) and the wall surface and extends a distance inside the frame (2, 3) in order to form a rabbet for the door leaf (1).
2. An assembly according to claim 1 characterized by the frame having a top member or lintel (4) having an angular cross-section.
3. An assembly according to any of the preceding claims, characterized by the frame having a flat metal sill bar (5) covered by a covering rib (6) on the portion between the jambs (2, 3) said covering rib having a curved upper face.
4. An assembly according to any of the preceding claims, characterized in that a hinge connecting the door leaf (1) with one of the jambs (2) has a flap (8) that is permanently connected to a flat leg (9) positioned on the side of the jamb (2) facing the wall (11), mounting screws (12) for mounting the jamb (2) on the wall extending through said leg.
