Description

The invention relates to a device for supporting the leaves of a gate, such as, for example, an at least double-leaf fence gate or the like, or other door or window leaves or the like, in the closed state of these leaves, with the features of the preamble of claim 1 .

Furthermore, the invention relates to a device for locking the leaves of a gate, such as, for example, gate gates or the like, or other door or window leaves or the like, in their open state, with the features of the preamble of claim 6.

The state of the art:

For use with fence gates, a height-adjustable support bolt device is already known, which serves to support the two door leaves in the closed state in a mutual adjustment so that they are aligned with one another, that is to say that the door leaves are arranged at the same height and on the same side, and lifting of the gate leaves is prevented.

For this purpose, the known support bolt device has locking means in the form of an adjusting claw, which is pushed over the, for example, trapezoidal wing frame profile tube of the fence gate and can be attached to this profile tube in a height-adjustable manner, with the manual control lever designed in the form of a support and stop angle being closed when the support bolt device is closed is held under this claw so that the entire support bolt device can not move upwards in the vertical direction, and that in this closed state, as it were, the middle of the fence gate, that is, where the two sash profile tubes meet, is supported downwards . Furthermore, the base plate arranged for fixing the support bar in the ground in the known device is designed in such a way that it enables the support bar to be inserted or inserted by means of the manual actuation lever, such that when the support bar is pivoted into the closed position, it moves into a closed position engages shoe-shaped recess of the base plate, which prevents a vertical upward movement of this support bar, that is, this support bar is practically locked in the ground.

However, this known support bolt device for fence gates has the major disadvantage that when the manual control lever is operated, that is to say when the entire support bolt device is closed or opened, by pivoting this lever about the axis of the support bolt rod - in that the lever closes in one to the sash frame profile tube and engaging position below the claw and when opening must be moved out of this position by a reverse movement - there is a risk that the operator grasping the manual operating lever suffers bruises on his hand, whereby a not inconsiderable risk of injury to this known support bolt device exists.

In addition, the assembly of the known support bolt device is particularly cumbersome because the locking claw must be pushed over the casement profile tube to lock the support bolt device, which leads to considerable difficulties in terms of retrofitting.

There are also so-called side locks for gates, doors, flaps, shops or the like, which are used to hold or lock the leaves of the gates or the like in an open state so that they do not move independently due to wind or weight and close to prevent objects or persons in the swing area of the wings from being endangered be det. The known side locks generally consist of a support which extends essentially vertically in the final assembly position and to which a sliding wedge and a locking hook cooperating with it are attached. The Aufgleitkeil serves to bring a counter element of the gate wing or the like. In the latching position in the latching process and to fix it so that the latch hook can engage securely in a corresponding latch opening of the counter element. If we speak of a sliding wedge in the following, it should be understood to mean all elements with the same function, which can cause the counter-element interacting with the latching hook to be pre-fixed.

It has already become known as prior art to form the support from two plates which run essentially parallel to one another and which are fastened to one another in their lower region with webs in such a way that they are spaced apart. The latching hook and the sliding wedge are arranged as a displaceable unit between the plates. A displacement of this unit is made possible in that the plates are provided with elongated holes, which are penetrated by a bolt which also passes through the unit consisting of locking hooks and sliding wedge. This known side lock is quite disadvantageous in that its manufacture is relatively complex and in particular height adjustment is only possible over a very limited range, which is determined by the length of the elongated hole.

The invention is based on the object, an improved device with the features of the Oberbe handle of claim 1 to create and train them in such a way that firstly there are no longer any risk of injury to the operator, secondly that this device can be retrofitted in any way and that thirdly there are further adjustment options with regard to the height adjustability along a casement profile tube are.

This object is achieved by the characterizing features of claim 1.

Advantageous developments of the invention emerge from claims 2-5.

It is considered to be the core of the device according to the invention to arrange the locking means for the support bolt device in the area between the guide tabs or tabs for the pivotable support bolt rod and to design such that the locking means consist of at least one cuboid locking body fastened to the rod and at least one on the casement profile tube arranged locking element for vertically upward support of the locking body.

As a result, the locking means for the support bolt device are removed from the area of the manual control lever, so that a practically safe operation of this manual control lever is ensured.

In addition, the height-adjustable parts of the locking means are no longer completely arranged on one of the frame profile tubes of the gate or door leaf, as is the case in the prior art, but in the device according to the invention, these components of the locking means are in the form of the cuboid locking body attached to the pivotable support bar, which in turn is mounted in the guide bores of the guide plates or tabs attached to the profile tube. This provides the simple possibility of attaching the cuboid locking body in a detachable manner to or on the rod, in particular in that the locking body has a bore with which it is pushed onto the rod and then fastened to this rod with the aid of a locking screw.

Finally, a height adjustment of the cuboid locking body along the rod in the area between the two guide tabs or tabs is possible in a simple and arbitrary manner.

This practically arbitrary adjustability of the locking means can be further favored in that several locking elements cooperating with the locking body are arranged on the casement profile tube, such a locking element preferably being in the form of a web directed parallel to the guide tabs or tabs, but which is significantly shorter than those guide tabs or tabs.

In this case, the space between the lower guide plate and the one web-shaped locking element or the space between two locking elements can preferably be predetermined such that this space allows the cuboid locking body to be received in such a way that a vertically upward support is provided in any case this locking body and thus the entire support bolt device results.

Another particular advantage of the device according to the invention results from the fact that the base plate is designed in the form of a double-profile shoe, which ensures a particularly good hold for the support bolt of the support bolt device inserted into it.

Furthermore, there is also a reduction in the risk of injury because this base plate nestles very well against the ground and is otherwise designed so that it can no longer damage car tires or the like, with a T-shaped groove inside the double-profile shoe has proven to be very beneficial.

The invention is also based on the object of developing a device with the features of the preamble of claim 6 such that this device is easy to manufacture and assemble and allows height adjustment of the locking hook and sliding wedge substantially over the entire length of the carrier. This object is achieved by the characterizing features of claim 6, advantageous developments of the invention result from claims 7-10.

As the core of the solution according to the invention for a device for locking gate leaves or the like in its open state, it is considered to form the support by two U-shaped profiles, which are fastened to one another with their U-leg ends facing one another and between them Take up sliding wedge and locking hook formed sliding unit. The two U-shaped supports form a sliding groove between them, which enables the sliding unit to be guided and held. The sliding unit can be locked in the desired height by screws or the like, but the sliding unit is advantageously held in the groove formed by the two U-beams by a clamp fit, so that a really sensitive adjustment and adjustment up and down is possible. For this purpose, it is advantageous if the supports are clamped against one another by means of clamping screws, so that the unit is clamped either by the U-cross legs or the longitudinal ends of the U-legs. The displaceable unit advantageously consists of two clamping plates running parallel to one another, to the lower end of which the sliding wedge is fastened, preferably welded on. A particularly simple manufacture and assembly results when the locking hook is mounted on a bolt which lies loosely in the bores of the clamping plates. This bolt can not fall out of the holes, since the holes through the U-cross legs of the movable unit in the state of Final assembly encompassing U-shaped profiles to be completed.

It is also within the scope of the invention to create a component set for gate, door, window or the like wing, this component set being characterized in that it comprises the components of at least one device according to one of claims 1-5 and / or comprises at least one device according to one of claims 6-10.

The following description of preferred exemplary embodiments is used to explain the invention, its further features and advantages with reference to the accompanying drawings, in which the same reference numerals designate the same components and parts throughout.

As can be seen from FIG. 1, the height-adjustable support bolt device 1, which is used, for example, to support the gate leaves of a fence gate or the like at the same height and side, essentially consists of a vertically arranged rod 2 which is designed as a round rod, a support bar 3 arranged on the lower end of the rod 2 facing the ground, a manual control lever 4 arranged on the other, opposite end of the rod 2 in the horizontal direction, and a substantially cuboidal locking body 5 pushed onto the rod 2 The locking body 5 has the purpose a preferably eccentrically arranged through bore 12 (see FIG. 2), which essentially corresponds to the cross section of the round rod 2. The locking body 5 is arranged on the rod so as to be longitudinally displaceable and can be fastened by means of a locking screw 13, the locking body for this purpose having a threaded bore running perpendicular to the bore 12 for screwing in the locking screw 13, which is designed, for example, as an Allen screw or Allen screw.

The support bolt device also includes guide tabs or tabs 7 and 8 which are fastened to a profile tube 6 of a gate wing frame, preferably welded on. Here, the lower guide plate 8 is fastened to the lower end of the casement profile tube 6 facing the ground, while the second guide plate 7 is arranged at a predetermined vertical distance above the guide plate 8. The two guide tabs or tabs 7 and 8 each have aligned guide bores 9 and 10, which are used to receive and support the vertical rod 2 running parallel to the profile tube 6, which is accommodated with play in the guide bores 9 and 10, such that the rod 2 is pivotable relative to the casement profile tube 6.

In the height range between the two guide tabs or tabs 7 and 8, a locking element 11 is also arranged on the casement profile tube 6 in a predetermined height position, which is designed in the form of a web directed parallel to the two guide tabs or tabs 7 and 8, which however shorter than the guide tabs or tabs 7 and 8. Furthermore, this locking element 11 is arranged in such a way that the space between the lower guide plate 8 and the locking element 11 has a dimension which corresponds to the height of the cuboid locking body 5 on the rod 2. As a result, the space between the lower guide plate 8 and the web-shaped locking element 11 is just so large that it can accommodate the locking body 5 with play.

The horizontally aligned support bar 3 is fastened to the lower end of the vertical rod 2 in such a way that it cooperates with a base plate which can be embedded in the ground in the region below the casement profile tube, as shown, for example, in FIG. 6 can be seen, practically in the floor below the wing frame profile tube 6 can be fixed.

The configuration of the manual control lever 4 for pivoting the support bar 2 relative to the casement profile tube 6 can be seen from FIG. 5, which shows a top view of the arrangement according to FIG. 3.

In the arrangement shown in FIGS. 3 and 5, the entire support bolt device is in the closed state, in which, as shown in FIG. 3, the locking body 5 is in a position between the lower guide plate 8 and the web-shaped locking element 11, such that the locking body 5 is supported in a direction vertically upwards by the locking element 11. In this Position is at the same time, as is not shown in the figures for the sake of simplicity, the support bar 3 itself in engagement with the base plate 15 (see FIG. 6) in an area below the casement profile tube 6, so that this support bar 3 also is fixed in order to firmly support the colliding profile tubes of the gate leaf frame from below.

The opening position of the support bolt device is achieved in that the manual operating lever 4 is pivoted relative to the sash profile tube 6, which results in a pivoting of the rod 2 about its longitudinal axis, which simultaneously moves or unscrews the locking body 5 sitting on the rod 2 from the space is connected between the lower guide plate 8 and the web-shaped locking element 11, furthermore a sliding out or pulling out of the support bar 3 from the fixing area of the base plate 15 when the manual operating lever 4 is pulled up accordingly.

This base plate 15, which can be seen in the context of an exemplary embodiment from FIG. 6, essentially consists of a double-profile shoe 16 which is arranged on a carrier 18, which can be designed, for example, as a profile carrier such as a double-T carrier, wherein with the help of this support 18, the base plate 15 can be anchored in the ground. The double-profile shoe 16 is rounded on its two opposite longitudinal side edges and has a recess in the area between the rounded edges in the form of a T-groove 17 which is open at the top. This T-groove 17 is used for Inserting or sliding in or engaging the support bolt 3 with the base plate 15, thereby locking and fixing the support bolt in this base plate when the entire support bolt device is brought into its closed state, as has already been explained in detail above .

The embodiment shown in FIG. 4 of a height-adjustable support bolt device differs from the embodiment according to FIG. 3 in that two locking elements 11 and 14 in the form of the same on the casement profile tube 6 in the area between the two guide plates or tabs 7 and 8 Long webs attached to the sash profile tube 6, in particular welded, these two locking elements 11 and 14 have a predetermined vertical distance from each other, such that a space is again formed for receiving the locking body 5 seated on the rod 2 when the Support bolt device is in its closed state. In this case, the locking body 5 has been adjusted to a corresponding height in the vertical direction of the rod 2, so that a vertically upward support is ensured by the locking element 14.

The height adjustment of the locking body 5 along the rod 2 can be accomplished in a simple manner by loosening the locking screw 13, by moving the locking body 5 along the rod 2 and then tightening the locking screw 13.

Since, moreover, the locking means 5 and locking element 11 or 14 for locking the supporting bolt device are located exclusively in a region vertically below the manual control lever 4, there is no risk of injury for the operator.

There is also the possibility within the scope of an embodiment variant that the locking element cooperating with the locking body 5 is formed by the upper guide plate 7.

Another advantage of the invention is that the locking screw 13 for the locking body 5 is hidden in the closed state of the support bolt device between the locking body 5 and the sash profile tube 6 and is well protected.

A very special advantage of the invention also results from the further development according to claim 5, that the entire support bolt device can be attached in any way in the course of retrofitting on gate, door or similar wings (see. Fig. 1).

A side lock 21 shown in the drawing figures 7 and 8 essentially consists of a vertically extending support 22, on which a sliding wedge 23 and a locking hook 24 cooperating therewith are arranged as a unit 25 which can be moved together. The carrier 22 is formed by two U-shaped profiles 26 and 27 formed with their U-leg ends 28 and 29 facing each other and fixed at a distance parallel to each other and the sliding unit 25 formed from sliding wedge 23 and locking hook 24, so that the sliding wedge 23 and locking hook 24 are approximately at right angles to the Projecting longitudinal direction 30 of the U-shaped profiles 26 and 27 between the U-leg ends 28 and 29. The displaceable unit 25 is clamp-fastened between the U-shaped profiles 26 and 27, for which purpose these profiles are fastened to one another by means of clamping screws 31. To accommodate these clamping screws, the U-shaped profiles 26 and 27 are provided at regular intervals with bores 32 which pass through the profiles essentially centrally between the U-legs 33 and 34.

Locking hooks 24 and slide-on wedge 23 are fastened to form the displaceable unit 25 between two clamping plates 35 and 36 lying between the U-legs 33 and 34, slide-on wedge 23 and clamping plates 35 and 36 being welded to one another and thereby forming a solid, U-shaped unit and the locking hook 24 is fixed between the upward-facing U-shaped parts formed by the clamping plates 35 and 36. The locking hook 24 has a smaller width than the Aufgleitkeil 23, so that it can be mounted in the manner of a two-armed lever on a bolt 37, which preferably lies loosely in holes 38 and 39 of the clamping plates 35 and 36, these holes 38 and 39 off-center are arranged between the U-legs 33 and 34 of the U-shaped profiles 26 and 27.
