Abstract

A partition, more particularly for a corner-shower, with a rounded entrance area, contains door-elements by means of which the entrance-area may be closed off or opened. The door-elements are arranged displaceably in guide-rails which are curved in the entrance area and are connected to at least one wall-element. It should be possible to produce a partition of this kind inexpensively and to obtain reliable guidance and accurate alignment of the door-elements with as few components as possible. The door-elements are curved to match the guide-rails and the guide-elements of each door-element is arranged at a predetermined distance from the longitudinal edges. A total of two door-elements is provided and these are curved over an angular range of approximately 45 DEG . They are adjustable in height by means of at least one guide-element, more particularly an eccentric pin.

Description

Die Erfindung bezieht sich auf eine Trennwand, insbesondere für eine Eckdusche, gemäß den im Oberbegriff des Patentanspruchs 1 angegebenen Merkmalen.The invention relates to a partition, in particular for a corner shower, according to the features specified in the preamble of claim 1.

Aus der DE-A-33 09 606 ist eine derartige Trennwand bekannt, welche vier plane Türelemente aufweist. Es sind jeweils zwei dieser Türelemente an ihren Längskanten aneinander gelenkt. Die derart gebildeten Paare mit jeweils zwei planen Türelementen sind gegeneinander in der Führungsschiene verschiebbar, um den Einstiegesbereich abzuschließen oder freizugeben. Jedes Türelement ist mittels separaten Führungselementen in der Führungsschiene verschiebbar gelagert. Ferner weist jedes Türelement einen Rahmen auf, in welchen eine transparente Scheibe oder dergliechen eingesetzt ist, wobei sich ein relativ hoher Aufwand für die Fertigung und Montage ergibt. Ferner erfordert das Aneinanderlenken von jeweils zwei Türelementen einen entsprechenden Aufwand, zumal mittels flexiblen Bändern oder dergleichen auch eine zuverlässige Abdichtung im Bereich der Längskanten zu erfolgen hat. Um eine zuverlässige und leichte Bewegbarkeit zu gewährleisten, müssen die Führungselemente sämtlicher Türelemente sehr exakt montiert und eingestellt werden, um ein Klemmen der Führungskörper in der Führungsschiene zu vermeiden; auch insoweit ist der Montageaufwand nicht unterheblich groß.Such a partition is known from DE-A-33 09 606, which has four flat door elements. Two of these door elements are hinged together at their longitudinal edges. The pairs formed in this way, each with two flat door elements, can be displaced in relation to one another in the guide rail in order to complete or release the entry area. Each door element is slidably mounted in the guide rail by means of separate guide elements. Furthermore, each door element has a frame in which a transparent pane or the like is inserted, which results in a relatively high outlay for production and assembly. Furthermore, the hinging of two door elements in each case requires a corresponding effort, especially since a reliable seal in the region of the longitudinal edges must also be provided by means of flexible strips or the like. In order to ensure reliable and easy mobility, the guide elements of all door elements must be mounted and adjusted very precisely in order to avoid the guide bodies jamming in the guide rail; the assembly effort is not insignificant.

Ferner ist aus der FR-A-751 229 eine Telefonzelle mit gebogenen Türen bekannt. Diese Türen erstrecken sich jeweils über einen Winkelbereich von 45 Grad. Zu beiden Seiten des Einstiegsbereichs ist jeweils ein gleichfalls über einen Winkelbereich von 45 Grad gebogenes Wandelement vorhanden. Hinter diese gebogenen Wandelemente werden die gebogenen Türelemente beim Freigeben des Einstiegsbereiches geschwenkt. In Verlängerung der beiden gebogenen Wandelemente ist in Richtung zur Rückwand der Telefonzelle hin jeweils ein ebenes Wandelement angeordnet; diese beiden ebenen Wandelemente sind im wesentlichen parallel zueinander ausgerichtet und stehen jeweils im rechten Winkel zur Rückwand der Telefonzelle. Die Führungselemente der Türelemente sind in der Nähe der jeweiligen vertikalen Längskante des Türelementes angeordnet.Furthermore, a telephone booth with curved doors is known from FR-A-751 229. These doors each extend over an angular range of 45 degrees. On both sides of the entry area there is a wall element that is also bent over an angular range of 45 degrees. The curved door elements are pivoted behind these curved wall elements when the entry area is released. As an extension of the two curved wall elements, a flat wall element is arranged in the direction of the rear wall of the telephone booth; these two flat wall elements are aligned essentially parallel to one another and are each at right angles to the rear wall of the telephone booth. The guide elements of the door elements are arranged in the vicinity of the respective vertical longitudinal edge of the door element.

Aus dem DE-U-85 12 641 ist eine Duschkabine aus vorgefertigten zylindrischen Teilen bekannt, welche vertikal übereinander angeordnet sind. Die Einstiegsöffnung kann mittels einer gebogenen Schiebetür abgeschlossen werden, deren Krümmungsradius entsprechend den zylindrischen Teilen vorgegeben ist. Mit den zylindrischen Teilen der Duschkabine liegt auch der Krümmungsradius der Schiebetür fest. Eine Anpassung der Tür an unterschiedliche Krümmungsradien oder Größen in einem Einstiegsbereich erfolgt nicht. Zur Aufhängung oder Führung der Schiebtür sind dem genannten DE-U keine Angaben zu entnehmen.DE-U-85 12 641 discloses a shower cubicle made of prefabricated cylindrical parts which are arranged vertically one above the other. The entry opening can be closed by means of a curved sliding door, the radius of curvature of which is predetermined in accordance with the cylindrical parts. With the cylindrical parts of the shower cubicle, the radius of curvature of the sliding door is also fixed. The door is not adapted to different radii of curvature or sizes in an entry area. No information can be found in the DE-U mentioned for the suspension or guidance of the sliding door.

Ferner ist aus dem DE-U-8416939 eine Duschkabine mit einer etwa quadratischen Grundplatte und mit kreisringförmigen Führungsschienen für entsprechend gebogene Türen bekannt. Diese Duschkabine weist ein als Formteil ausgebildetes Wandelement auf, das an einer geraden Wand, also nicht in einer Ecke, eines Duschraumes angeordnet wird. Die Duschkabine erfordert einen großen Platzbedarf und große Türen, welche sich über einen Winkelbereich von wenigstens 120 Grad erstrecken müssen. Hierdurch ergeben sich ein entsprechender Fertigungsaufwand und hohe Lagerhaltungs- und Transportkosten.Furthermore, from DE-U-8416939 a shower cubicle with an approximately square base plate and with circular guide rails for correspondingly curved doors is known. This shower cubicle has a wall element designed as a molded part, which is arranged on a straight wall, ie not in a corner, of a shower room. The shower cubicle requires a large amount of space and large doors, which must extend over an angular range of at least 120 degrees. This results in a corresponding manufacturing effort and high storage and transportation costs.

Ferner ist aus der DE-C-34 29 053 eine Duschabtrennung mit Türelementen bekannt, welche in der Höhe einstellbare Führungselemente bzw. Führungsrollen aufweisen. Diese Führungsrollen sind auf Exzenter-Bolzen angeordnet, die jeweils in einer Führungsleiste des Türelements festgelegt sind. Hierzu ist in der Führungsleiste jeweils vom Ende her ein Langloch eingebracht, in welches der Exzenter-Bolzen einführbar und mittels eines Eingriffselements festgelegt ist. Die Festlegung des Exzenter-Bolzens und somit des Führungselements erfolgt also im Bereich der vertikalen Längskante des Türelements und ein sich über eine größere Länge der genannten Führungsleiste erstreckendes Langloch ist im Hinblick auf die geforderte Stabilität nicht zweckmäßig. Da des Eingriffselement Bestandteil eines Verbindungsteils zwischen der genannten Führungsleiste und einem vertikalen Rahmenprofil ist, kann die Festlegung nur im Bereich der vertikalen Längskante des Türelements erfolgen.Furthermore, from DE-C-34 29 053 a shower partition with door elements is known which have height-adjustable guide elements or guide rollers. These guide rollers are arranged on eccentric bolts, which are each fixed in a guide rail of the door element. For this purpose, an elongated hole is made in the guide bar, from which the eccentric bolt can be inserted and fixed by means of an engagement element. The eccentric bolt and thus the guide element are therefore fixed in the region of the vertical longitudinal edge of the door element, and an elongated hole extending over a greater length of the said guide strip is not expedient in view of the required stability. Since the engaging element is part of a connecting part between said guide bar and a vertical frame profile, the fixing can only be made in the area of the vertical longitudinal edge of the door element.

Der Erfindung liegt die Aufgabe zugrunde, die Trennwand der eingangs genannten Art mit geringem Aufwand dahingehend weiterzubilden, daß die Anzahl der Einzelteile reduziert wird und bei geringem Montageaufwand eine exakte Ausrichtung der Türelemente ermöglicht werden kann.The invention has for its object to develop the partition of the type mentioned with little effort to the extent that the number of individual parts is reduced and an exact alignment of the door elements can be made possible with little installation effort.

Die Lösung dieser Aufgabe erfolgt gemäß den im Kennzeichen des Patentanspruchs 1 angegebenen Merkmalen.This object is achieved according to the features specified in the characterizing part of patent claim 1.

Die erfindungsgemäße Trennwand zeichnet sich durch einen funktionsgerechten Aufbau aus und gewährleistet bei einfacher Konstruktion eine spritzwasserdichte Absperrung des Einstiegsbereichs. Die beiden jeweils koaxial zum gebogenen Teil der Führungsschiene gebogenen Türelemente ermöglichen ein ansprechendes Design, wobei mit wenigen Bauteilen und in einfacher Weise eine vertikale Ausrichtung vorgenommen werden kann. Die beiden Türelemente erstrecken sich über einen Winkelbereich zwischen 40 bis 50 Grad und erfordern kein allzugroßes Transportvolumen ung gleichwohl ergibt sich eine vergleichsweise einfache Handhabung bei der Montage. Die in dem ersten Abstand zueinander angeordneten Führungselemente weisen jeweils zu der benachbarten vertikalen Längskante des Türelements einen vorgegebenen zweiten Abstand auf, wobei der erste Abstand um einen Faktor zwischen 1, 4 und 2 größer ist als der zweite Abstand. Hierdurch wird gewährleistet, daß die Führungselemente klein ausgebildet werden können und ferner wird eine stabile Aufhängung erreicht. Die gebogenen Türelemente können somit möglichst nahe an den Führungsschienen angeordnet werden, ohne beim Freigeben des Einstiegsbereiches mit den geraden Endbereichen der Führungsschienen in Kontakt zu gelangen. Mittels des in der Höhe einstellbar ausgebildeten Führungselements kann eine genaue vertikale Ausrichtung der Türe hergestellt werden.The partition according to the invention is characterized by a functionally appropriate construction and, with a simple construction, ensures that the entry area is sealed off from splashing water. The two door elements, each curved coaxially to the curved part of the guide rail, enable an appealing design, whereby vertical alignment can be carried out with a few components and in a simple manner. The two door elements extend over an angular range between 40 to 50 degrees and do not require an excessively large transport volume and nevertheless there is a comparatively simple handling during assembly. The guide elements arranged at the first distance from one another each have a predetermined second distance from the adjacent vertical longitudinal edge of the door element, the first distance being a factor between 1, 4 and 2 greater than the second distance. Hereby it is ensured that the guide elements can be made small and also a stable suspension is achieved. The curved door elements can thus be arranged as close as possible to the guide rails without coming into contact with the straight end regions of the guide rails when the entry area is released. A precise vertical alignment of the door can be produced by means of the height-adjustable guide element.

Die Führungselemente weisen zur jeweiligen Längskante zweckmäßig jeweils den gleichen Abstand auf und bei freigegebenem Einstiegsbereich befindet sich das Türelement entsprechend symmetrisch hinter dem feststehenden Wandelement. Pro Türelement wird bevorzugt nur ein einziges Führungselement mit einem Exzenter- Bolzen oder einer vergleichbaren Einrichtung zur Höheneinstellung versehen. Das andere Führungselement ist mit dem Türelement starr verbunden, wodurch eine einfache Konstruktion und gleichwohl eine einfache Ausrichtung des Türelements erreicht wird.The guide elements are expediently at the same distance from the respective longitudinal edge and when the entry area is released, the door element is correspondingly symmetrically behind the fixed wall element. Only one guide element per door element is preferably provided with an eccentric bolt or a comparable device for height adjustment. The other guide element is rigidly connected to the door element, whereby a simple construction and nevertheless a simple alignment of the door element is achieved.

Zu beiden Seiten des Einstiegsbereichs können an den dort vorhandenenen Seitenprofilen Stege angeordnet sein und in Verbindung mit Dichtelementen, die an den äußeren Rändern der beiden gegeneinander aufschwenkbaren Türelemente angeordnet sind, wird mit geringem Aufwand eine funktionssichere Abdichtung in geschlossenem Zustand gewährleistet. Die Stege weisen im wesentlichen die gleiche Breite wie die Führungsschienen auf und das jeweilige Dichtungselement hintergreift die Rückseite der Stege, wobei ein großer Überlappungsbereich zwecks sicherer Abdichtung gegeben ist.On both sides of the entry area, webs can be arranged on the side profiles provided there, and in conjunction with sealing elements which are arranged on the outer edges of the two door elements which can be pivoted open to one another, a functionally reliable seal in the closed state is ensured with little effort. The webs have essentially the same width as the guide rails and the respective sealing element engages behind the back of the webs, a large overlap area being provided for the purpose of secure sealing.

In einer besonderen Ausgestaltung weist jedes Türelement eine obere horizontale Profilschiene mit einer sich in Längsrichtung erstreckenden inneren Hohlkammer auf, in welche die Führungselemente eingesetzt sind. Sowohl das feste als auch das in der Höhe einstellbare Führungselement werden von den Stirnseiten bzw. Längskanten her in die Profilschiene eingeschoben und dort mittels Schrauben oder ähnlichem verankert. Eine kostengüngstige Montage kann mit wenigen Handgriffen durchgeführt werden. Das verstellbare Führungselement weist zweckmäßig auf der Außenseite des Exzenterbolzens eine Rastfläche auf, auf welcher ein verstellbarer Rastarm oder dergleichen aufliegt. Damit ist in einfacher Weise eine Drehsicherung des Exzenterbolzens und damit eine Fixierung der Höheneinstellung gewährleistet. Andererseits kann der Exzenterbolzen mit einem relativ geringen Kraftaufwand zur Vorgabe der Höheneinstellung gedreht werden.In a special embodiment, each door element has an upper horizontal profile rail with an inner hollow chamber which extends in the longitudinal direction and into which the guide elements are inserted. Both the fixed and the height-adjustable guide element are inserted into the profile rail from the end faces or longitudinal edges and anchored there by means of screws or the like. Inexpensive assembly can be carried out in just a few simple steps. The adjustable guide element expediently has a latching surface on the outside of the eccentric bolt, on which an adjustable latching arm or the like rests. This ensures that the eccentric bolt is secured against rotation and thus fixes the height adjustment in a simple manner. On the other hand, the eccentric bolt can be rotated with a relatively small effort to specify the height setting.

Um eine einfache und gleichwohl stabile Ausbildung der Führungselemente zu erhalten, sind diese in einer besonderen Ausgestaltung zur Mittenebene aus der jeweiligen Radialebene um einen vorgegebenen kleinen Winkel verschwenkt. Dieser Winkel liegt zweckmäßig im Bereich zwischen 3 bis 7°. Durch diese Ausbildung kann auch bei fester Anordnung der Führungselemente, die also nicht um eine vertikale Achse drehbar sein müssen, eine leichte Verschiebbarkeit der Türen sichergestellt werden. Die Türen sind in der Profilschiene, und zwar sowohl in dem geraden als auch in dem gebogenen Bereich bei geringem Kraftaufwand leichtgängig zu verschieben, wobei zu hohe Reibungskräfte oder gar ein Klemmen zuverlässig vermieden werden.In order to obtain a simple and nevertheless stable design of the guide elements, they are pivoted in a special embodiment to the center plane from the respective radial plane by a predetermined small angle. This angle is advantageously in the range between 3 to 7 °. With this design, easy movement of the doors can be ensured even with a fixed arrangement of the guide elements, which therefore do not have to be rotatable about a vertical axis. The doors can be moved easily in the profile rail, both in the straight and in the curved area with little effort, reliably avoiding excessive friction or jamming.

Fig. 1 zeigt eine Duschwanne 2 mit zwei rechtwinklig zueinander angeordneten hinteren Rändern 4 und einem vorderen gebogenen Rand 6. Auf dem gebogenen Rand 6 ist die Trennwand mit einer unteren Führungsschiene 8 und einer oberen Führungsschiene 10 angeordnet. Die Trennwand enthält zwei ebene, feststehende seitliche Wandelemente 12, 14, die mit den beiden Führungsschienen 8, 10 mittels Schrauben oder dergleichen fest verbunden sind. Die Führungsschienen 8, 10 sind an den Rückseiten der ebenen Wandelemente 12, 14, also für einen außerhalb der Duschwanne 2 befindlichen Betrachter hinter den Wandelementen 12, 14, angeordnet. In der oberen Führungsschiene sind zwei gebogene Türelemente 16, 18 mittels nachfolgend noch zu erläuternden Führungselementen aufgehängt und verschiebbar gelagert. Die Wandelemente 12, 14 und ebenso die Türelemente 16, 18 enthalten jeweils einen aus Profilschienen aufgebauten Rahmen, in welchen in gewohnter Weise eine transparente Scheibe aus einem Kunststoff oder Glas eingesetzt ist. Die Türelemente 16, 18 können entlang der Führungsschienen zur Seite hinter die eben ausgebildeten Wandelemente 12, 14 geschoben werden, um so den Einstiegsbereich 20 frei zu geben.1 shows a shower tray 2 with two rear edges 4 arranged at right angles to one another and a front curved edge 6. The partition wall with a lower guide rail 8 and an upper guide rail 10 is arranged on the curved edge 6. The partition contains two flat, fixed side wall elements 12, 14, which are firmly connected to the two guide rails 8, 10 by means of screws or the like. The guide rails 8, 10 are arranged on the rear sides of the flat wall elements 12, 14, that is to say for an observer located outside the shower tray 2, behind the wall elements 12, 14. Two curved door elements 16, 18 are suspended and slidably mounted in the upper guide rail by means of guide elements to be explained below. The wall elements 12, 14 and also the door elements 16, 18 each contain a frame constructed from profile rails, in which a transparent pane made of a plastic or glass is inserted in the usual way. The door elements 16, 18 can be pushed along the guide rails to the side behind the wall elements 12, 14 which have just been formed, in order to free up the entry area 20.

Fig. 2 zeigt eine Aufsicht auf die Trennwand samt Duschwanne 2 von oben, welche in die Ecke zweier Raumwände 22, 24 eingebaut sind. Es ist hier gut die gebogene Ausbildung der Türelemente 16, 18 entsprechend dem gebogenen Bereich 26 der oberen Führungsschiene 10 zu erkennen; entsprechend weist auch die untere Führungsschiene eine gebogenen Bereich auf. Die horizontalen oberen und unteren Profilschienen 28, 30 der Türelemente sind entsprechend gebogen. Die vertikalen Profilschienen 31,33 sind gerade. Die Führungsschienen sind im Bereich der ebenen Wandelemente 12, 14 gerade ausgebildet. Die Türelemente 16, 18 sind in der oberen Führungsschiene 10 mittels zwei Führungsele menten 32, 34 verschiebbar aufgehängt, wobei das eine Führungselement 32 fest angeordnet und das Führungselement 34 einstellbar ist. Die beiden Wandelement 12, 14 weisen vertikale Seitenprofile 13, 15 auf, welche den Einstiegsbereich begrenzen. Die Türelemente 16, 18 sind jeweils über einen Winkelbereich 35 von näherungsweise 45° gebogen. Erfindungsgemäß sind die beiden Profilschienen 28, 30 koaxial zu dem gebogenen Bereich 26 der oberen bzw. unteren Führungsschiene 10 bzw. 8 angeordnet, und zwar in Blickrichtung von außen auf die Duschwanne 2 hinter den genannten Führungsschienen.Fig. 2 shows a top view of the partition including shower tray 2 from above, which are installed in the corner of two room walls 22, 24. The curved design of the door elements 16, 18 corresponding to the curved region 26 of the upper guide rail 10 can be clearly seen here; Accordingly, the lower guide rail also has a curved area. The horizontal upper and lower rails 28, 30 of the door elements are corresponding bent. The vertical profile rails 31, 33 are straight. The guide rails are straight in the area of the flat wall elements 12, 14. The door elements 16, 18 are slidably suspended in the upper guide rail 10 by means of two guide elements 32, 34, the one guide element 32 being fixed and the guide element 34 being adjustable. The two wall elements 12, 14 have vertical side profiles 13, 15 which limit the entry area. The door elements 16, 18 are each bent over an angular range 35 of approximately 45 °. According to the invention, the two profile rails 28, 30 are arranged coaxially to the curved region 26 of the upper and lower guide rails 10 and 8, in the direction of view from the outside of the shower tray 2 behind the guide rails mentioned.

Fig. 3 zeigt eine Aufsicht ähnlich Fig. 2, wobei nunmehr die beiden Türelemente 16,18 hinter die feststehenden Wandelemente 12, 14 geschoben sind, um den Einstiegsbereich 20 frei zu geben. Die Führungselemente 32, 34 sind je in einem Abstand 36, 38 zu den Längskanten 40, 42 derart angeordnet, daß die obere Profilschiene 28 einen hinreichend kleinen Abstand zum geraden Bereich der oberen Profilschiene 28 aufweist, um eine Berührung zu vermeiden. Entsprechendes gilt auch für die untere Profilschiene und dort angeordneten Führungselemente bzw. Gleiter. Der Abstand 39 zwischen den beiden Führungselementen 32, 34 ist um einen Faktor kleiner 2, zweckmäßig im Bereich zwischen 1,4 und 1,6 größer als der obengenannte Abstand 36, 38. Hierdurch wird einerseits eine stabile Aufhängung erreicht und andererseits kann die freie Länge der Führungselemente und ebenso der Gleiter klein gehalten werden.FIG. 3 shows a top view similar to FIG. 2, the two door elements 16, 18 now being pushed behind the fixed wall elements 12, 14 in order to expose the boarding area 20. The guide elements 32, 34 are each arranged at a distance 36, 38 from the longitudinal edges 40, 42 in such a way that the upper profile rail 28 is at a sufficiently small distance from the straight region of the upper profile rail 28 in order to avoid contact. The same also applies to the lower profile rail and guide elements or sliders arranged there. The distance 39 between the two guide elements 32, 34 is a factor of less than 2, expediently in the range between 1.4 and 1.6 greater than the above distance 36, 38. In this way a stable suspension is achieved on the one hand and the free length on the other hand the guide elements and the glider are kept small.

Fig. 4 zeigt einen Schnitt entlang Schnittlinie IV, wobei das Wandelement 12 nur schematisch angedeutet ist. Die obere Profilschiene 28 weist im Inneren einen Hohlraum auf, in welchem das feste Führungselement 32 eingeschoben und mit einer Schraube befestigt ist. Das Führungselement 32 enthält an einem starren Arm 44 eine mittels Kugellagern drehbar angeordnete Führungsrolle 46, welche in eine Führungsbahn 48 der oberen Führungsschiene 10 abrollen kann. Die Führungsschiene 10 ist als ein Hohlkammerprofil ausgebildet, und in der gleichen Führungsbahn 48 laufen auch die entsprechend ausgebildeten Führungselemente des anderen Türelementes. An der Unterseite vom Türelement 16 ist ein weiteres Führungselement, das als ein Gleiter 50 ausgebildet ist, zu erkennen. Dieser Gleiter 50 greift von unten in eine Führungsbahn 52 der unteren Führungsschiene 8 ein. Der Gleiter 50 befindet sich vertikal unterhalb des Führungselemente 32. Mit der strichpunktierten Linie ist ein Steg 49 vom vertikalen Seitenprofil des Wandelementes 12 angedeutet. Dieser Steg 49 liegt vor der Zeichenebene und weist eine Breite 51 auf, die im wesentlichen gleich groß ist wie die Breite der Führungsschienen 8 oder 10. Die Höhe 53 vom Steg 49 entspricht dem lichten Abstand zwischen den Führungsschienen 8, 10. Dieser erfindungsgemäße Steg dient zum Abschluß des freien Raumes zwischen den beiden Führungsschienen 8, 10 an der Seite der Einstiegsöffnung, wobei das Türo/gmgnt ein nachfolgend noch 2u erläuterndes Dichtelement aufweist.Fig. 4 shows a section along section line IV, wherein the wall element 12 is only indicated schematically. The upper profile rail 28 has a cavity inside, in which the fixed guide element 32 is inserted and fastened with a screw. On a rigid arm 44, the guide element 32 contains a guide roller 46 which is rotatably arranged by means of ball bearings and which can roll into a guide track 48 of the upper guide rail 10. The guide rail 10 is designed as a hollow chamber profile, and the correspondingly designed guide elements of the other door element also run in the same guide path 48. A further guide element, which is designed as a slider 50, can be seen on the underside of the door element 16. This slider 50 engages from below in a guide track 52 of the lower guide rail 8. The slider 50 is located vertically below the guide elements 32. A web 49 from the vertical side profile of the wall element 12 is indicated by the dash-dotted line. This web 49 lies in front of the drawing plane and has a width 51 which is essentially the same size as the width of the guide rails 8 or 10. The height 53 from the web 49 corresponds to the clear distance between the guide rails 8, 10. This web according to the invention serves on the side of the access opening, wherein the Tuero / g m g nt having a still below 2 u explanatory sealing element closing the free space between the two guide rails 8, 10th

Fig. 5 zeigt einen Schnitt ähnlich Fig. 4, jedoch im Bereich des einstellbaren Führungselementes 34, wobei der Einfachheit halber die gebogene Ausbildung des Türelementes 16 nicht dargestellt ist. Das Führungselement 34 enthält einen Exzenterbolzen 54, der wiederum in die Hohlkammer der oberen Profilschiene 28, und zwar von der Längskante des Türelementes her, eingesetzt ist. Die obere Profilschiene 28 weist eine sich über die gesamte Länge erstreckende Längsnut 56 auf, so daß der Exzenterbolzen 54 entsprechend in den Hohlraum eingeschoben werden kann. Der Exzenterbolzen 54 enthält einen exzentrisch angeordneten Zapfen 58, auf welchem wiederum mittels eines Kugellagers eine Führungsrolle 60 drehbar angeordnet ist. Die Profilschiene 28 enthält an ihrer Innenseite 62 eine Bohrung 64, durch welche ein geeignetes Werkzeug, insbesondere ein Schraubenzieher, in einen Schlitz 66 einführbar ist. Durch Drehen des Exzenterbolzens 54 um seine zentrale Achse 68 wird der vertikale Abstand des Zapfens 58 zur Mittensachse 68 geändert, wodurch das Türelement 16 auch seine Höhenausrichtung bezüglich der oberen Führungsschiene 10 ändert. Vergleicht man die Darstellungen von 4 und 5, so ist gemäß Fig. 5 das Türelement 16 etwas tiefer aufgehängt. Insgesamt würde also das Türelement 16 entsprechend schief in der Trennwand hängen. Es ist ersichtlich, daß folglich bei nicht exakt horizontaler Ausrichtung der oberen Führungsschiene 10 durch Verstellung des einstellbaren Führungselementes 34 die exakte vertikale Ausrichtung des Türelementes vorgegeben werden kann. Im Inneren der oberen Profilschiene 28 befindet sich ein Befestigungsteil 70, mit welchem die Festlegung des Exzenterbolzens 54 sowohl in Längsrichtung der Profilschiene 28 als auch bezüglich dessen Drehstellung um die Achse 68 erfolgt. Die obere Führungsschiene 10 weist im Bereich der Führungsbahn 48 in der Mitte einen vertikalen Steg 80 auf, der zwei vertikal beabstandete Kastenprofilteile 82, 84 miteinander verbindet. Hierdurch wird eine wesentliche Versteifung der Profilschiene 10 erreicht. Die obere Profilschiene 10 ist ebenso wie die untere Profilschiene 8 quer zur Führungsbahn 48 relativ schmal ausgebildet. Erfindungsgemäß ist die vertikale Höhe wenigstens doppelt so groß wie die horizontale Breite der beiden Führungsschienen 8, 10. Die Führungsschienen 8,10 können folglich mit geringem Aufwand in der erläuterten Weise gebogen werden. Entsprechend dem oben genannten Gleiter ist unter dem Führungselement 34 ein weiterer Gleiter 55 angeordnet. Auch diese beiden Gleiter weisen zueinander bzw. zu den Längskanten in Rahmen der Erfindung die gleichen Abstände auf, wie die Führungselemente an der oberen Profilschiene 28.FIG. 5 shows a section similar to FIG. 4, but in the region of the adjustable guide element 34, the curved configuration of the door element 16 not being shown for the sake of simplicity. The guide element 34 contains an eccentric bolt 54, which in turn is inserted into the hollow chamber of the upper profile rail 28, specifically from the longitudinal edge of the door element. The upper profile rail 28 has a longitudinal groove 56 extending over the entire length, so that the eccentric bolt 54 can be inserted accordingly into the cavity. The eccentric pin 54 contains an eccentrically arranged pin 58, on which in turn a guide roller 60 is rotatably arranged by means of a ball bearing. The profile rail 28 contains on its inside 62 a bore 64 through which a suitable tool, in particular a screwdriver, can be inserted into a slot 66. By rotating the eccentric bolt 54 about its central axis 68, the vertical distance of the pin 58 from the central axis 68 is changed, as a result of which the door element 16 also changes its height orientation with respect to the upper guide rail 10. Comparing the representations of FIGS. 4 and 5, the door element 16 is suspended somewhat lower according to FIG. 5. Overall, the door element 16 would hang accordingly crooked in the partition. It can be seen that consequently, if the upper guide rail 10 is not exactly horizontally aligned, the exact vertical alignment of the door element can be predetermined by adjusting the adjustable guide element 34. Inside the upper profile rail 28 there is a fastening part 70, with which the eccentric bolt 54 is fixed both in the longitudinal direction of the profile rail 28 and with respect to its rotational position about the axis 68. The upper guide rail 10 has a vertical web 80 in the middle of the guide track 48, which connects two vertically spaced box section parts 82, 84 to one another. As a result, a substantial stiffening of the profile rail 10 is achieved. The upper profile rail 10, like the lower profile rail 8, is designed to be relatively narrow transversely to the guideway 48. According to the invention, the vertical height is at least twice as large as the horizontal width of the two guide rails 8, 10. The guide rails 8, 10 can consequently be bent in the manner explained with little effort. In accordance with the above-mentioned slider, a further slider 55 is arranged under the guide element 34. Within the scope of the invention, these two sliders also have the same distances from one another or from the longitudinal edges as the guide elements on the upper profile rail 28.

In Fig. 6 ist die Profilschiene 28 teilweise aufgeschnitten, so daß hier die Längsnut 56 auf der der Führungsschiene 10 zugewandten Seite der Profilschiene 28 gut zu erkennen ist. Der Befestigungsteil 70 enthält zwei Rastarme 72, welche die mit Zähnen oder Rastnuten 74 versehene Außenfläche des Exzenterbolzens 54 umgreifen. Die Rastarme 72 weisen innen entsprechende Zähne oder dergleichen auf, welche in die besagten Zähne oder Rastnuten 74 eingreifen und eine Arretierung des Exzenterbolzens in der jeweiligen Drehstellung ergeben. Der Befestigungsteil 70 besteht aus einem geeigneten elastischen, nachgiebigen Werkstoff, insbesondere Kunststoff. Wird ein Schraubenzieher in den Schlitz 66 eingefuhrt, so kann der Exzenterbolzen zwecks Höheneinstellung des Türelementes 16 gedreht werden. Die Rastarme und Rastnuten sowie die Elastizität sind derart aufeinander abgestimmt, daß einerseits eine zuverlässige Arretierung gewährleistet wird und andererseits mit einem nicht allzu hohen Kraftaufwand die Einstellung vorgenommen werden kann. Der Befestigungsteil 70 ist mittels einer Schraube 76 in der Profilschiene 28 festgelegt. Vor der Montage wird der Befestigungsteil 70 mit seinen Rastarmen 72 auf den Exzenterbolzen, und zwar in Richtung der zentralen Achse, also senkrecht zur Zeichenebene, aufgeschoben. Nachfolgend werden der Befestigungsteil 70 und der Exzenterbolzen 54 gemeinsam von der Längsseite 78 her in den Hohlraum eingeschoben und mittels der Schraube 76 in der dargestellten Weise befestigt. Dies erfolgt vor dem Zusammenbau mit der vertikalen Profilschiene 80 des Rahmens von Türelement 16. Mit dem Befestigungsteil 70 erfolgt somit einerseits die Festlegung längs der Profilschiene 28 und andererseits auch die Drehsicherung des Exzenterbolzens 54. Der an der unteren Profilschiene 30 angeordnete Gleiter 55 befindet sich vertikal unterhalb des Exzenterbolzens 54 und weist zu der seitlichen Längskante 42 den gleichen Abstand wie das obere einstellbare Führungselement 34 auf.6, the profile rail 28 is partially cut open, so that here the longitudinal groove 56 on the side of the profile rail 28 facing the guide rail 10 can be clearly seen. The fastening part 70 contains two locking arms 72 which engage around the outer surface of the eccentric bolt 54 provided with teeth or locking grooves 74. The latching arms 72 have corresponding teeth or the like on the inside, which engage said teeth or latching grooves 74 and result in the eccentric bolt being locked in the respective rotational position. The fastening part 70 consists of a suitable elastic, resilient material, in particular plastic. If a screwdriver is inserted into the slot 66, the eccentric bolt can be rotated for the purpose of adjusting the height of the door element 16. The locking arms and locking grooves and the elasticity are coordinated with one another in such a way that on the one hand a reliable locking is ensured and on the other hand the adjustment can be carried out with a not too great effort. The fastening part 70 is fixed in the profile rail 28 by means of a screw 76. Before assembly, the fastening part 70 with its latching arms 72 is pushed onto the eccentric bolt, specifically in the direction of the central axis, that is to say perpendicular to the plane of the drawing. Subsequently, the fastening part 70 and the eccentric bolt 54 are pushed together from the longitudinal side 78 into the cavity and fastened by means of the screw 76 in the manner shown. This takes place before assembly with the vertical profile rail 80 of the frame of door element 16. With the fastening part 70, on the one hand the fixing along the profile rail 28 and on the other hand also the rotation lock of the eccentric bolt 54 takes place. The slider 55 arranged on the lower profile rail 30 is located vertically underneath the eccentric bolt 54 and is at the same distance from the lateral longitudinal edge 42 as the upper adjustable guide element 34.

Fig. 7 zeigt vergrößert eine Aufsicht auf das Türelement 18 sowie einen horizontalen Schnitt durch das Wandelement 14, und zwar in der Stellung entsprechend Fig. 3. Die Führungselemente 32, 34 sind bezüglich der jeweiligen Radialebene 86, 88 um einen Winkel 92, 94 in Richtung zur Mittenebene 90 des Türelements 18 versetzt angeordnet. Die Drehachsen 87, 89 der Führungsrollen 46, 47 sind entsprechend zur Mittenebene 90 im Rahmen dieser Erfindung geschwenkt. Die Führungsbahn 48 der oberen Führungsschiene, welche vor der Zeichenebene liegt, ist durch gestrichelte Linien angedeutet. Die Führungsrolle 46 weist zur Führungsbahn 48 einen Winkel 93 auf. Ohne Schrägstellung entsprechend dem Winkel 92 wäre der genannte Winkel 93 der Führungsrolle 46 zur Führungsbahn 48 und folglich auch der Rollwiderstand im geraden Bereich der Führungsschiene erheblich größer. Hingegen wäre ohne die erfindungsgemäße Verschwenkung der Führungsrollen 46, 47, also bei Ausrichtung der Drehachsen 87, 89 in den Radialebenen, der Rollwiderstand im gebogenen Bereich der Führungsschiene beträchtlich niedriger. Mit anderen Worten, wird ohne die erfindungsgemäße Verschwenkung der Führungsrollen das Türelement aus dem geraden Bereich zu dem gebogenen Bereich geschoben, so wird der Rollwiderstand im Laufe dieser Bewegung immer kleiner. Beim Schließen der Türelemente müßte der Benutzer zuerst eine große Kraft aufwenden mit der Folge, daß im gebogenen Bereich die Türen dann sehr leichtgängig rollen und in der Mitte mit erheblicher Wucht aufeinander prallen. Große Belastungen und ein erheblicher Verschleiß wären die Folge. Aufgrund der erfindungsgemäßen Schrägstellung der Führungselemente wird mit geringem konstruktivem Aufwand sichergestellt, daß der Rollwiderstand beim Verschieben der Türelemente sowohl im geraden als auch im gebogenen Bereich der Führungsschiene weitgehend gleich groß ist. Aufgrund der oben erläuterten Abstände der Führungselemente 32, 34 zu den Längskanten 40, 42 bzw. untereinander kann die Länge 99 relativ kurz gehalten werden und gleichwohl wird eine stabile Aufhängung erreicht. Wären die Führungselemente 32, 34 jeweils näher zur Mittenebene 90 angeordnet, so könnten zwar die Führungselemente kürzer ausgebildet werden, doch wäre dann die Stabilität der Aufhängung des Türelements nicht mehr sichergestellt. Bei einem größeren Abstand der Führungselemente 32, 34 zueinander müßten die Führungselemente entsprechend länger ausgebildet werden. Im geschlossenen Zustand würde dann das Türelement einen zu großen Abstand zur Führungsschiene aufweisen und es waren zusätzliche Maßnahmen erforderlich, um im Bereich der unteren Führungsschiene ein Herausspritzen von Wasser zu vermeiden. Durch die angegebene Auslegung wird eine diesbezüglich günstiger Kompromiß mit geringem Aufwand erzielt.FIG. 7 shows an enlarged plan view of the door element 18 and a horizontal section through the wall element 14, in the position corresponding to FIG. 3. The guide elements 32, 34 are at an angle 92, 94 in with respect to the respective radial plane 86, 88 Direction to the center plane 90 of the door element 18 is arranged offset. The axes of rotation 87, 89 of the guide rollers 46, 47 are pivoted corresponding to the center plane 90 in the context of this invention. The guideway 48 of the upper guide rail, which lies in front of the plane of the drawing, is indicated by dashed lines. The guide roller 46 has an angle 93 to the guide track 48. Without inclination corresponding to the angle 92, the aforementioned angle 93 of the guide roller 46 to the guide track 48 and consequently also the rolling resistance in the straight region of the guide rail would be considerably greater. On the other hand, without the pivoting of the guide rollers 46, 47 according to the invention, that is to say when the axes of rotation 87, 89 are aligned in the radial planes, the rolling resistance in the curved region of the guide rail would be considerably lower. In other words, if the door element is pushed from the straight area to the curved area without the pivoting of the guide rollers according to the invention, the rolling resistance becomes smaller and smaller in the course of this movement. When closing the door elements, the user would first have to exert a large force with the result that the doors then roll very smoothly in the curved area and collide with one another with considerable force in the middle. Large loads and considerable wear would be the result. Due to the inclined position of the guide elements according to the invention, it is ensured with little design effort that the rolling resistance when moving the door elements is largely the same both in the straight and in the curved region of the guide rail. Due to the distances of the guide elements 32, 34 to the longitudinal edges 40, 42 or to one another, the length 99 can be kept relatively short and nevertheless a stable suspension is achieved. If the guide elements 32, 34 were each arranged closer to the center plane 90, the guide elements could be made shorter, but the stability of the suspension of the door element would then no longer be ensured. If the guide elements 32, 34 are at a greater distance from one another, the guide elements would have to be made correspondingly longer. In the closed state, the door element would then be too far apart from the guide rail and additional measures were required to prevent water from splashing out in the region of the lower guide rail. The specified design enables a compromise that is favorable in this regard to be achieved with little effort.

Vom feststehenden Wandelement 14 sind das vertikale Seitenprofil 15 sowie die Kunststoffplatte 95 gut zu erkennen. Der Steg 49 vom Seitenprofil weist im wesentlichen die gleiche Breite wie die Führungsschiene 8 auf. Im oberen Teil der Fig. 7 ist durch strichpunktierte Linie 96 das Türelement 18 in der geschlossenen Position entsprechend Fig. 2 augedeutet. Die vertikale Profilschiene 33 ist ebenso wie ein Dichtungselement 97 im Schnitt dargestellt. Das Dichtungsprofil 97 ist in einer hinterschnittenen Längsnut der vertikalen Profilschiene 33 befestigt und weist einen Arm 98 auf, welcher an der Rückseite des Steges 49 mit Überlappung anliegt. Der Arm 98 greift im Rahmen der Erfindung über einen wesentlichen Teil der unteren Führungsschiene 8 und natürlich auch entsprechend der oberen Profilschiene 10, so daß dieser Bereich zuverlässig abgedichtet werden kann. Wie ersichtlich, liegt das Türelement in der geschlossenen Position koaxial zur Führungsschiene 8. Die untere und die obere Profilschiene liegen koaxial hinter der unteren bzw. oberen Führungsschiene.The vertical side profile 15 and the plastic plate 95 can be clearly seen from the fixed wall element 14. The web 49 from the side profile has essentially the same width as the guide rail 8. In the upper part of FIG. 7, the door element 18 in the closed position corresponding to FIG. 2 is indicated by dash-dotted line 96. The vertical profile rail 33 is shown in section, as is a sealing element 97. The sealing profile 97 is fastened in an undercut longitudinal groove of the vertical profile rail 33 and has an arm 98 which bears against the back of the web 49 with an overlap. In the context of the invention, the arm 98 engages over a substantial part of the lower guide rail 8 and, of course, also corresponding to the upper profile rail 10, so that this area can be reliably sealed. As can be seen, the door element is in the closed position coaxial to the guide rail 8. The lower and the upper profile rail are coaxial behind the lower and upper guide rail.
