Abstract
Description
- Sliding door consisting of at least two sections.
- The invention relates to a sliding door of the type in which the rollers to which the door is suspended will descend into recesses in the guide rail before the door opening when closing the door, so that the door can rest sealingly against the wall in which the door opening is present and against the floor.
- When closing the door the latter moves towards the wall and the floor, so that a hermetic closing of the door opening can be achieved by flexible strips mounted on the door.
- So when the door is opened a certain force has to be exerted on the door to lift the rollers out of the recesses in the guide rail onto the running surface of this rail. As a considerable force has to be exerted in case of somewhat large doors, a lever may be used to that end, which is provided with an operating handle at one end and with a press cam at the other end, which can be pressed against the door frame by means of the operating handle, so that the door can still be opened with a relatively small force.
- With such a door the disadvantage may occur, that adjacent to the door opening there is too little space for receiving the door in its slided-open position.
- It has been attempted to remove this disadvantage by the application of two doors, each having the width of about half the door opening and moving along the same rail to both sides of the door opening.
- It is obvious that also in this case next to the door opening a space has to be present which is at least equal to the width of the door opening, though this space may be divided over both sides of the door opening. An additional disadvantage of this solution, however, is that when opening one door a force has to be exerted onto the other door, so that one will not be sure that the desired door is opened while after opening one door no point of support is available for the press cam of the lever of the other door, so that other opening devices, in particular motoric opening devices, will have to be applied.
- The invention avoids these disadvantages by providing that the door is composed of at least two sections, each being provided with their own rollers moving over their own guide rail such that the sections may move along each other and may be moved to one side of the door opening when opening the door, means being provided by which in the closed position of the door sections these are mutually coupled in such a way that the rollers of all door sections may be simultaneously lifted out of the recesses of the related guide rail, while after a door section has reached its final position, the coupling between this section and the subsequent section lying beside it, is released and this subsequent section may be displaced to the completely opened position.
- So this implies that when e.g. two sections are used the largest length of one of the sections will be only a little larger than half the width of the door opening, so that beside the door opening a much smaller space will suffice than if an undivided door is used.
- Though the door is divided into sections one operating handle will suffice for opening the door, the press cam of which can be pushed against the frame, so that the rollers of all door sections are simultaneously lifted out of their recesses and the door is opened as one unit.
- A simple construction is achieved if the door section, which is positioned at that side of the door opening towards which all door sections are displaced when opening the door, is located between the subsequent section and the wall in the opened position of the door, with which for sealing the vertical edges of the door sections lying near each other in the closed position of the door, these are provided with opposite edge portions, one of which is supporting a flexible sealing element, applied such that when bringing the door sections in the closed position, the flexible element connected to the one section will abut against the edge portion of the other door section, the shape of the upper edge of the door opening and the position of the vertical edges thereof being adapted to the staggered positioned door sections.
- In this way it may be achieved that a vertical edge of a door section is sealingly slided against a vertical edge of a door section which is positioned closer to the wall in the opened position of the door. For obtaining a sealing of the upper part of the vertical end edge of the door section positioned closer to the wall, the upper edge of the door opening has a stepped configuration such that said upper edge of the door section will sealingly abut the stepped part of the upper edge of the door opening, of course using a flexible sealing element.
- Preferably the provision will be made that the flexible sealing element is attached to the edge portion of a door section in such a way, that when bringing the door sections to the closed position, it is bent in a direction opposed to the direction of movement of the door sections. In this way the flexible sealing element will be allowed to function optimally.
- In order to guarantee that at the lower edges of the door sections a proper sealing is achieved as well, it may be provided that the lower edge of a door section is slidingly coupled with an immediately adjacent door section by means of a guide element.
- In this way the danger is avoided that the lower edges of the door sections are somewhat pressed away from each other by the flexible sealing element so that no proper sealing by the door would be guaranteed any longer.
- In this connection it is worth noting that dividing a door into sections has the advantage that each section in itself is more rigid than a long door out of one piece, even if the latter is build-up in the same way as the door sections individually.
- According to the invention the means by which two door sections are coupled in the closed position of the door, is formed by a spring biassed pivotable pin extending substantially vertically upwards from its pivot, and being mounted on that end face of the relevant door section which is transverse to the plane of the door section and which is directed towards that side of the door opening to which all door sections are moved when opening the door, said pin cooperating with a slot provided in a locking plate in a direction perpendicular to the plane of the door section, said plate being positioned on the immediately adjacent door section in which the cooperation between pin and locking plate can be broken by an abutment plate, which is connected to the upper edge of the door opening or to another part fixed to the wall, and which extends obliquely outward from the wall in the direction in which the door sections are moved when opening the door.
- In the closed position of the door the pin connected to a door section is positioned in a slot of the locking plate of the subsequent section, so that when opening the door the sections are forming one unit. If now the section being positioned at that side of the door opening towards which the whole door is moved, reaches its end position, the pin which is connected to the subsequent section simultaneously is engaging the slanting surface of the abutment plate, so that the pin is brought out of the slot and the subsequent section freely can move along the door section which has come to rest. If more than two door sections are present, the same takes place when the second door section has reached its final position. It being obvious that then use is made of another abutment plate.
- In order to assure that when bringing the door sections to the closed position a mutual coupling of the door sections takes place again, the locking plate may be provided with a slanting surface for bringing the pivoting pin of a section into the slot of the locking plate of the section adjacent thereto. Thus the coupling of the sections then automatically will take place.
- Preferably it will be provided that in the completely opened position of the door all door sections are mutually coupled-in such a way that when closing the door the door sections start to move simultaneously and are brought into the closed position one by one. Thus it is prevented that when closing the door the flexible element attached to the vertical end edge of it is pressed continuously against the end edge of the adjacent door section to take this door section along towards the closed position.
- For coupling the door sections in the completely opened position of the door favourably use can be made again of the pivotable pin, which then may cooperate with a coupling plate mounted to the other vertical end edge of the adjacent section as the locking plate with which the pin cooperates when opening the door sections, said coupling plate having a slanted surface for the pin and an abutment edge perpendicular to the plane of the door behind which the pin will come to lie for the coupling of two door sections, while for interrupting the coupling an abutment plate is used which is connected to the upper edge of the door opening or to another part fixed to the wall and which extends obliquely outward from the wall in the direction in which the door sections are moved when closing the door.
- In an advantage manner the locking plates being connected to the upper edge of the door opening or to another part fixed to the wall may be formed by a single element. Because of this the costs of manufacturing are decreased and in particular the mounting of the two locking plates is simplified.
- The invention will now be further elucidated by means of an embodiment, shown in the drawing, in which
- Fig. 1 schematically shows a front view of a sliding door according to the invention, consisting of two sections, shown in the closed position;
- Fig. 2 shows a cross-section at an enlarged scale over the line II-II of Fig. 1;
- Fig. 3 shows an end view of the doors in the direction of the arrow III in Fig. 1, in which, however, certain parts are deleted for the sake of clearness;
- Fig. 4 schematically shows a plan view of the doors only in their closed position; and
- Fig. 5 shows a part of Fig. 4 with some parts in another position.
- The sliding door shown in the drawing consists of the two
door sections opening 3 in awall 4, said opening being limited by thefloor 5, thevertical posts 6 and 7 respectively and the horizontalupper beam 8, which has a stepped configuration. - The
door section 1 is suspended fromsupports 9, which are provided withrollers 10, moveable over arail 11, into whichrecesses 12 are present. The recesses are located such that therollers 10 will come to lie in them when thedoor section 1 is in the closed position, as this is shown in Fig. 1. On arrival of therollers 10 in therecesses 12 they also move towards thewall 4, so that the whole door section comes to rest sealingly against thefloor 5 and thewall 4 or thevertical post 6 limiting the door opening 3. As shown in Fig. 2 aflexible sealing element 13 serves for sealing thedoor section 1 with respect to thepost 6, to thehorizontal beam 8 and to a part of thedoor section 2, which part will be described more in detail hereafter. For sealing of thedoor section 1 with respect to thefloor 5 theflexible sealing element 14 is serving, which is connected to the lower edge of the door as appears from Fig. 3. - In a similar manner the
door section 2 is provided withsupports 15 withrollers 16, which are received intorecesses 17 of therail 18 in the closed position of the door section. When therollers 16 are present in therecesses 17 thedoor section 2 is abutting thepost 17 and thehorizontal beam 8 by means of aflexible sealing element 19, said sealingelement 19 extending along the stepped part of said beam as shown in Fig. 2 with dash-dot-lines. Thedoor section 2 is sealed with respect to the floor by means of a sealingelement 20. To obtain sealing between thedoor sections door section 2 is provided with theedge portion 21 which is engaged by thesealing means 13, connected to thedoor section 2, in the closed position of the door sections. - As appears in particular from Fig. 2 the
sealing element 13 of thedoor section 1 is attached to anedge portion 22, which is connected to thedoor section 1 at the position of theedge portion 21. By this a proper engagement of thesealing element 13 against theedge portion 21 is obtained in the closed position of the door sections. - As appears in particular from Fig. 5, the
door section 2 will come to rest completely behind thewall 4 in the opened position of the door. In connection with this thedoor section 2 is supported by threerollers 16, which are received in threerecesses 17 in the closed position of thedoor section 2. When sliding thedoor section 2 towards the opened position thecentral roller 16 will now move over the most right hand recess 17, as seen in Fig. 1, as the mostleft hand roller 16 is not present above arecess 17. In similar manner the most left hand roller will move across the most right hand recess 17 when moving thedoor section 2 towards the right. For thedoor section 1 two rollers suffice because as seen in Fig. 1 the mostleft hand roller 10 does not move beyond therecess 12 when opening thedoor section 1. - For guiding the lower edge of the
door section 2guides 23 are mounted on the floor, see Figs. 1 and 3. These guides, however, should not be positioned in the door opening, so that they cannot serve as guidance for thedoor section 1. In connection with this thedoor section 1 is provided with theguide plate 24, see Fig. 3, into which aslot 25 is present in which astrip 26, connected to thedoor section 2, can slide. Theslot 25 and thestrip 26 are slanted, the oblique angle corresponding with the one onedoor section 1 is following when therollers 10 are received in therecesses 12. - The means for mutually coupling and decoupling the
door sections - They have been deleted from Figs. 1 and 2 for the sake of clearness.
- The
door section 1 is provided with amounting plate 27, to which in the point 28 apin 29 is pivotally connected in such a way that the pin will assume the position as shown in Fig. 3, while the pin can be rotated in the direction of the arrow P against the action of a spring, not shown, present in the hinging-point 28. In the mounting plate 27 aslot 30 is present through which alocking plate 31 may move connected to thedoor section 2. - As appears in particular from Fig. 4 the
locking plate 31 is provided with aslot 32 in which thepin 29 is present when thedoor sections - The coupled position is shown in Fig. 4, in which position the
door sections rollers door sections lever 34, thedoor sections - If now the
door section 2 approaches its extreme right hand position, as this is shown in Fig. 5, thepin 29 will come to rest against a slantingsurface 35 of theabutment plate 36, which in a manner not shown is connected to therail 18 and which is thus present at a fixed position with respect to thewall 4. - By this the
pin 29 is pivoted till outside theslot 32 of the lockingplate 31 so that thedoor section 1 can be displaced further on its own. It will be obvious that thedoor section 2 in the final position will come to rest against an abutment, not shown. - When the
door section 1 is further moved towards the right thepin 29, which has returned to its starting position, will come to rest against a slantingsurface 38 of acoupling plate 39 connected to thedoor section 2, when thedoor section 1 has also nearly reached its final position. In the completely opened position of thedoor section 1 thepin 29 is coming to lie behind theabutment edge 40 so that thedoor sections - If now the door has to be closed again, the
door section 1 is pulled towards the closed position by means of thelever 34, while it takes along thesection 2 with it. - When the
door section 2 approaches the position shown in Fig. 4, thepin 29 engages a slantingsurface 41 of theabutment plate 36, so that thepin 29 is pushed away behind theabutment edge 40 of thecoupling plate 39 and thedoor section 1 separately can move further towards the left until it achieves the closed position. Just before this happens thepin 29 is engaging the slantingsurface 42 of the lockingplate 31 so that the pin will come to lie again in thegroove 32 of the lockingplate 31 and thedoor sections - It will be obvious that also more than two door sections may be applied. As seen in Fig. 2 the left hand side of the
section 1 then may be provided with an edge portion corresponding to theedge portion 21 ofsection 2, while thesection 1 then is provided with the lockingplate 31 and with thecoupling plate 39 and the subsequent, additional section with apin 29. - Further it will be obvious that only a possible embodiment of the invention is shown in the drawing and has been described above and that many modifications may be made without departing from the inventive concept.

that the means by which two door sections (1,2) are coupled in the closed position of the door, is formed by a spring biassed pivotable pin (29) extending substantially vertically upwards from its pivot (28), and being mounted on that end face of the relevant door section (1) which is transverse to the plane of the door section and which is directed towards that side of the door opening (3) to which all door sections (1,2) are moved when opening the door, said pin (29) cooperating with a slot (32) provided in a locking plate (31) in a direction perpendicular to the plane of the door section, said plate (31) being positioned on the immediately adjacent door section (2) in which the cooperation between pin (29) and locking plate (31) can be broken by an abutment plate (36), which is connected to the upper edge (8) of the door opening (3) or to another part fixed to the wall (4), and which extends obliquely outward from the wall (4) in the direction (R) in which the door sections are moved when opening the door.
that for bringing the door sections (1,2) in the coupled position when closing the door the locking plate (31) is provided with a slanting surface (42) for bringing the pivoting pin (29) of a section (1) into the slot (32) of the locking plate (31) of the section (2) adjacent thereto.
that in the completely opening position of the door all door sections (1,2) are mutually coupled in such a way that when closing the door the door sections (1,2) start to move simultaneously and are brought into the closed position one by one.
that for coupling the door sections (1,21 in the completely opened position of the door the pivotable pin (29) cooperates with a coupling plate (39) mounted to the other vertical end edge of the adjacent section (2) as the locking plate (31) with which the pin (29) cooperates when opening the door sections (1,2), said coupling plate (39) having a slanted surface (38) for the pin (29) and an abutment edge (40) perpendicular to the plane of the door behind which the pin (29) will come to lie when totally opening the door, while for interrupting the coupling an abutment plate (36) is used which is connected to the upper edge (8) of the door opening (3) or to another part fixed to the wall (4) and which extends obliquely outward from the wall in the direction in which the door sections (1,2) are moved when closing the door.
