Description

Die Erfindung betrifft eine Falttür, insbesondere für Duschabtrennungen und dergleichen, aus wenigstens zwei Flügeln, die im Bereich benachbarter Ränder über Scharnierbänder aneinander angelenkt sind, deren Befestigungslaschen im gestreckten Zustand in einer Ebene liegen.The invention relates to a folding door, in particular for shower enclosures and the like, comprising at least two wings which are hinged to one another in the region of adjacent edges by means of hinge straps, the fastening tabs of which lie in one plane in the stretched state.

Derartige Falttüren sind z.B. aus der DE-A-Nr. 2952574 bekannt und werden als Eingangs-oder Durchgangstüren insbesondere zu Duschkabinen, aber auch als Faltwände im Bereich von Badewannen oder dergleichen eingesetzt. Ein Problem bei derartigen Falttüren ist ein zumindest spritzwasserdichter Anschluss der beiden Flügel, wenn diese sich in gestreckter Position, d.h. bei geschlossener Tür befinden. Bei Verwendung herkömmlicher Scharnierbänder bleiben nämlich zwischen den Rändern der benachbarten Flügel Spalte oder Fugen, durch die Wasser, insbesondere Spritzwasser austreten kann.Such folding doors are e.g. from DE-A-No. 2952574 are known and are used as entrance or passage doors, in particular to shower cubicles, but also as folding walls in the area of bathtubs or the like. A problem with such folding doors is an at least splash-proof connection of the two wings when these are in the extended position, i.e. with the door closed. When using conventional hinge straps, gaps or joints remain between the edges of the adjacent wings, through which water, in particular splash water, can escape.

Aufgabe der Erfindung ist es, eine Falttür der eingangs beschriebenen Gattung so zu verbessern, dass sie einen besseren Spritzwasserschutz gewährleistet.The object of the invention is to improve a folding door of the type described in the introduction so that it ensures better protection against splashing water.

Diese Aufgabe wird dadurch gelöst, dass sich die einander zugeordneten Ränder der beiden Flügel überlappen und dass die Flügel überdie Scharnierbänder so angelenkt sind, dass die eine Befestigungslasche am zugeordneten Flügel innenseitig im Überlappungsbereich und die andere Befestigungslasche am anderen Flügel ausserhalb des Überlappungsbereiches und mit Abstand von Rand des Flügels befestigt ist.This object is achieved in that the mutually assigned edges of the two wings overlap and that the wings are articulated via the hinge straps in such a way that one fastening tab on the associated wing on the inside in the overlap area and the other fastening tab on the other wing outside the overlap area and at a distance of Edge of the wing is attached.

Bei dieser Falttür sind in geschlossenem Zustand keinerlei Spalte oder durchgehende Fugen zwischen den benachbarten Flügeln vorhanden, weil die Ränder der Flügel einander überdecken. Gleichwohl können die beiden Flügel in dicht nebeneinanderliegenden Ebenen angeordnet werden und kann die Tür, insbesondere zum Inneren der Duschkabine hin, durch Faltung geöffnet werden, weil die beschriebenen Scharnierbänder eingesetzt werden, die diese Funktionen ermöglichen.With this folding door, there are no gaps or continuous joints between the adjacent wings when closed, because the edges of the wings overlap one another. Nevertheless, the two wings can be arranged in closely adjacent levels and the door, in particular to the inside of the shower cubicle, can be opened by folding, because the hinge straps described are used, which enable these functions.

Ohne weiteres ist es möglich, Flügel verschiedener Breitefürdie Falttürzu verwenden. Insbesondere wenn der Rand des jeweils äusseren Flügel verschiedener Breite für die Falttür zu verwenden. Insbesonderewenn der Rand des jeweils äusseren Flügels bengeschlossenerTür mittig zur Falttür angeordnet sein soll, wird der innere Flügel zur Bildung des Überlappungsbereiches breiter sein als der äussere Flügel.It is easily possible to use wings of different widths for the folding door. Especially when using the edge of the outer wing of different widths for the folding door. In particular, if the edge of the respective outer wing of the closed door is to be arranged centrally to the folding door, the inner wing will be wider than the outer wing to form the overlap area.

Es empfiehlt sich, wenn die Schwenkachse des Scharnierbandes stirnseitig vor dem Rand des einen Flügels angeordnet ist - aus optischen Gründen und auch um Platz zu sparen.It is advisable if the swivel axis of the hinge band is arranged on the face in front of the edge of one wing - for visual reasons and also to save space.

Zweckmässig werden die Flügel im Anschlussbereich der Scharnierbänder zwischen einer Befestigungslasche und einer zugeordneten Gegenplatte eingespannt, wobei Schrauben vorgesehen sind, die Bohrungen des Flügels durchdringen und die in Gewindebohrungen des jeweils gegenüberliegenden Bauteils eingedreht sind. Dazu können die Befestigungslaschen oder die Gegenplatten in die Bohrungen ragende Buchsen mit Gewindebohrungen aufweisen. Auf diese Weise ist es möglich, zumindest eine Seite der Flügel so auszuführen, dass Schrauben oder Schraubenköpfe oder andere Befestigungselemente nicht sichbar sind. Im übrigen können die Schrauben Senkkopf-Inbus-Schrauben sein, deren Stirnfläche im wesentlichen bündig mit der Oberfläche der zugeordneten Befestigungslasche oder Gegenplatte abschliesst, so dass auch auf dieser Seite keine vorstehenden Befestigungsteile vorhanden sind.The wings are expediently clamped in the connection area of the hinge straps between a fastening tab and an associated counterplate, screws being provided which penetrate the holes in the wing and which are screwed into threaded holes in the respective opposite component. For this purpose, the fastening tabs or the counter plates can have bushes with threaded holes projecting into the bores. In this way it is possible to design at least one side of the wing so that screws or screw heads or other fastening elements are not visible. Otherwise, the screws can be countersunk Allen screws, the end face of which is essentially flush with the surface of the associated fastening tab or counterplate, so that no protruding fastening parts are present on this side either.

Zweckmässig bestehen die Scharnierbänder, die Gegenplatten und die Schrauben aus rostfreiem Stahl, damit Korrosionen vermieden werden.The hinge straps, the counter plates and the screws are expediently made of stainless steel so that corrosion is avoided.

Einer der Flügel kann mit gleichartigen Scharnierbändern an einer Wand gehalten sein, wobei die Scharnierachse sich innerhalb des von Wand und Flügel gebildeten Winkels befindet und die Befestigungslaschen auf den einanderzugewandten Seiten der Wand und des Flügels angeordnet sind. Dieser Flügel, der dann in das Innere der Duschkabine schwenkbar ist, kann folglich an einer Wand, die eine Wand aus ESG-Sicherheitsglas, Acrylglas oder anderen hochfesten und geeigneten Materialien bestehen kann, derart befestigt werden, dass eine besondere Randeinfassung oder ein besonderes Randprofil für diese Wand überflüssig ist. Im Schwenkbereich des an die Wand angelenkten Flügels sind in der Regel keine Armaturen, so dass auch keine Gefahr besteht, dassdieser Flügel mit Armaturen kollidiert. Der andere Flügel wird ohnehin gegen den aufgeschwenkten Flügel geschwenkt und berührt die Armaturen ebenfalls nicht.One of the wings can be held on a wall with similar hinge bands, the hinge axis being located within the angle formed by the wall and wing and the fastening tabs being arranged on the sides of the wall and the wing facing one another. This wing, which can then be swiveled into the interior of the shower cubicle, can therefore be attached to a wall, which can be a wall made of toughened safety glass, acrylic glass or other high-strength and suitable materials, in such a way that a special edge surround or a special edge profile for this wall is superfluous. There are generally no fittings in the swivel range of the wing hinged to the wall, so that there is also no risk of this wing colliding with fittings. The other wing is pivoted against the opened wing anyway and does not touch the fittings either.

Im Folgenden wird ein in der Zeichnung dargestelltes Ausführungsbeispiel der Erfindung erläutert; es zeigen:

  • Fig. 1 einen Horizontalschnitt durch zwei Flügel einer Falttür für eine Duschkabine im Anschlussbereich eines Scharnierbandes,
  • Fig. 2 eine Draufsicht auf ein Scharnierband,
  • Fig. 3 eine Draufsicht auf eine Gegenplatte,
  • Fig. 4 einen Schnitt in Richtung IV-IV durch den Gegenstand nach Fig. 3,
  • Fig. 5 einen Horizontalschnitt durch einen an einer Wand angelenkten Flügel der Falttür,
  • Fig. 6 teilweise einen Horizontalschnitt durch eine an einer Wand angeschlossene Falttür mit zwei Flügeln.
An exemplary embodiment of the invention illustrated in the drawing is explained below; show it:
  • 1 is a horizontal section through two wings of a folding door for a shower cubicle in the connection area of a hinge band,
  • 2 is a plan view of a hinge band,
  • 3 is a plan view of a counter plate,
  • 4 shows a section in the direction IV-IV through the object according to FIG. 3,
  • 5 shows a horizontal section through a wing of the folding door hinged to a wall,
  • Fig. 6 partially a horizontal section through a folding door connected to a wall with two wings.

Die in der Zeichnung dargestellte Falttür dient als Abschluss von Duschkabinen oder dergleichen. Die Falttür besitzt zwei Flügel 1,2 aus Glas. Der eine Flügel 1 ist an einer gläsernen Seitenwand 3 angelenkt, der andere Flügel 2 ist mit dem Flügel 1 schwenkbar verbunden. Die Flügel 1, 2 können jeweils um vertikale Achsen schwenken.The folding door shown in the drawing serves as the end of shower cubicles or the like. The folding door has two wings 1,2 made of glass. One wing 1 is hinged to a glass side wall 3, the other wing 2 is pivotally connected to the wing 1. The wings 1, 2 can each pivot about vertical axes.

Zum gelenkigen Anschluss der beiden Flügel 1, 2 dienen Scharnierbänder mit Befestigungslaschen 4, 5, die in gestrecktem Zustand des Scharnierbandes in einer Ebene liegen, wie das aus Fig. 1 ersichtlich ist. Die Scharnierachse 6 liegt ausserhalb der von den beiden Befestigungslaschen 4, 5 gebildeten Ebene.For the articulated connection of the two wings 1, 2, hinge straps with fastening tabs 4, 5 are used, which lie in the stretched state of the hinge strap in one plane, as can be seen from FIG. 1. The hinge axis 6 lies outside the plane formed by the two fastening tabs 4, 5.

Wie man insbesondere aus den Fig. 1 und 6 entnimmt, überlappen sich die beiden Flügel 1, 2 im Bereich der einander zugeordneten Ränder 7, 8.As can be seen in particular from FIGS. 1 and 6, the two wings 1, 2 overlap in the region of the mutually assigned edges 7, 8.

Die Befestigungslasche 4 ist am Flügel 1 innenseitig, d.h. auf der dem Flügel 2 zugewandten Seite im Bereich des Randes 7 derart befestigt, dass die Scharnierachse 6 sich im wesentlichen unmittelbar vor dem Rand 7 befindet.The fastening tab 4 is on the inside of the wing 1, i.e. fastened on the side facing the wing 2 in the region of the edge 7 in such a way that the hinge axis 6 is essentially immediately in front of the edge 7.

Im Bereich der Befestigungslasche 4 weist der Flügel 1 Bohrungen 9 auf, in die unter Zwischenschaltung eines Polsters 10 eine Buchse ragt, die fest mit einer Gegenplatte 12 verbunden ist. Die Gegenplatte 12 sitzt folglich auf der Aussenseite des Flügels 1. Von der Innenseite des Flügels 1 her ist durch eine zugeordnete versenkte Bohrung 13 der Befestigungslasche 4 eine Senkkopf-InbusSchraube 14 in die Sack-Gewindebohrung der Buchse 11 eingedreht. Damit ist abgesehen von der glatten Gegenplatte 12 die Befestigung des Scharniers am Flügel 1 aussenseitig nicht zu erkennen.In the area of the fastening tab 4, the wing 1 has bores 9 into which a bushing projects, with the interposition of a cushion 10, which is firmly connected to a counterplate 12. The counter plate 12 is consequently seated on the outside of the wing 1. From the inside of the wing 1, a countersunk Allen screw 14 is screwed into the tapped blind hole of the bushing 11 through an associated countersunk bore 13 in the fastening tab 4. So apart from the smooth counter plate 12, the attachment of the hinge to the wing 1 is not visible on the outside.

Die andere Befestigungslasche 5 ist am Flügel 2 ausserhalb des Überlappungsbereiches in gleicher Weise befestigt, wobei jedoch die Buchse 11 mit der Gewindebohrung zur Aufnahme der Schraube 14 an der Befestigungslasche selbst befestigt ist und die innenseitig am Flügel 2 angeordnete Gegenplatte 12 die versenkte Bohrung zur Aufnahme des Schraubenkopfes aufweist.The other mounting bracket 5 is attached to the wing 2 outside the overlap area in the same way, but the bushing 11 is fastened to the mounting bracket itself with the threaded hole for receiving the screw 14 and the counterplate 12 arranged on the inside of the wing 2 is the countersunk hole for receiving the Has screw head.

Aus den Fig. 2 und 3 entnimmt man, dass jede Befestigungslasche 4 bzw. 5 und jede zugeordnete Gegenplatte 12 jeweils zwei Buchsen 11 bzw. versenkte Bohrungen 13 aufweist, die in entsprechende Bohrungen der Glasflügel eingreifen.From FIGS. 2 and 3 it can be seen that each fastening tab 4 or 5 and each associated counterplate 12 each have two bushes 11 or countersunk bores 13 which engage in corresponding bores in the glass wing.

In Fig. 5 ist dargestellt, wie der Flügel 1 unter Einsatz des oben beschriebenen Scharnierbandes an einer die Duschkabine begrenzenden Seitenwand 3 befestigt ist. Man erkennt, dass die Befestigungslaschen 4 und 5 jeweils an den einander zugewandten Seiten des Flügels 1 und der Seitenwand 3 in der beschriebenen Weise befestigt sind. Die Schwenkachse 6 des Scharnierbandes befindet sich in dem zwischen Flügel und Seitenwand 3 gebildeten Winkel.5 shows how the wing 1 is fastened to a side wall 3 delimiting the shower cabin using the hinge strap described above. It can be seen that the fastening tabs 4 and 5 are each fastened to the mutually facing sides of the wing 1 and the side wall 3 in the manner described. The pivot axis 6 of the hinge band is at the angle formed between the wing and the side wall 3.

Fig. 6 zeigt die beiden Flügel 1, 2 der Falttür vor einer Duschkabine, die von der Seitenwand 3 begrenzt ist. Gleiche Bezugszeichen bezeichnen wiederum gleiche Teile.Fig. 6 shows the two wings 1, 2 of the folding door in front of a shower cubicle which is delimited by the side wall 3. The same reference symbols again designate the same parts.

Bei der in Fig. 6 dargestellten Position ist die Falttür geschlossen. Zum Öffnen wird der Flügel 1 in Richtung des Pfeils 15 nach innen, d.h. in Richtung auf die Seitenwand 3 verschwenkt. Dabei verschwenkt der Flügel 2 in Gegenrichtung, nämlich in Richtung des Pfeils 16. Die beiden Flügel 1, 2 werden dabei gefaltet und legen sich übereinander gegen die Seitenwand 3, ohne Armaturen, die an der nicht dargestellten Rückwand der Duschkabine angeordnet sind, zu berühren oder damit zu kollidieren.In the position shown in Fig. 6, the folding door is closed. To open the wing 1 in the direction of arrow 15 inwards, i.e. pivoted towards the side wall 3. The wing 2 pivots in the opposite direction, namely in the direction of the arrow 16. The two wings 1, 2 are folded and lie one above the other against the side wall 3 without touching fittings which are arranged on the rear wall of the shower cubicle, not shown, or to collide with it.
