Description

Die Erfindung betrifft eine Stahltür, deren Türblatt mittels zargenaußenseitig angeordneten Scharnierbändern - insbesondere jeweils aus einem mittleren, türblattseitig befestigten Bandbereich und zwei beidseitig des mittleren Bandbereiches angeordneten zargenseitig befestigten Bandbereichen - an einen Zargenholm schwenkbar festgelegt ist.The invention relates to a steel door, the door leaf of which is hinged to a frame spar by means of hinge hinges arranged on the outside of the frame - in particular each consisting of a central hinge area fastened on the door leaf side and two hinge-side hinged areas arranged on both sides of the central hinge area.

Bei den hier in Rede stehenden Türblättern besteht der Falz aus drei Lagen ca. 0,8 mm dicken Bleches. Diese Dicke reicht nicht aus, um die Bänder in diesem Bereich stumpf anzuschweißen. Deshalb wird derzeit der Falz um die Dicke des türblattseitig zu befestigenden Bandlappens ca. 4 mm durchgedrückt und das Band hinter den Falz gelegt - von der Scharnierbandachse aus gesehen - sowie das Band mit dem Falz und auch mit dem im Türkasten eingelegten stirnseitigen Flachstahl-Rahmen verschweißt. Eine solche Ausbildung bekannter Art ist aus den Figuren 1a) bis c) zu ersehen.In the case of the door leaves in question, the rebate consists of three layers of approximately 0.8 mm thick sheet metal. This thickness is not sufficient to butt weld the strips in this area. That is why the rebate is currently pushed through by the thickness of the hinge to be fastened on the door leaf side by approx. 4 mm and the hinge is placed behind the hinge - seen from the hinge hinge axis - as well as the hinge is welded to the hinge and also to the flat steel frame on the front side inserted in the door case . Such a known type of training can be seen from FIGS. 1a) to c).

Durch das Durchdrücken des Türblatt-Falzes im Bereich der türblattseitig zu befestigenden Bänder bzw. Bandlappen der Scharnierbänder ergeben sich Spannungen im Türblatt, wodurch in diesem Bandbereich gewisse Beulen im Deckelblech nach außen hin vorgewölbt auftreten. Weiterhin ist beim Aufeinanderstapeln der Türen der Stoß auf der Bandseite um 4 mm je Tür höher, was dazu führt, daß der Stapel zunehmend eine Schräglage erhält, bei zwanzig Türen in einem Stapel auf der Bandseite somit eine Erhöhung von 80 mm erfährt. Dies führt zu Transportschwierigkeiten bishin zum seitlichen Verrutschen solcher Stapel mit der Folge der Beschädigung der Türblätter und einer für ein Fahrzeug ggfs. gefährlichen Gewichtsverlagerung.By pushing through the door leaf rebate in the area of the hinges to be fastened on the door leaf side or band flaps of the hinge hinges, tensions arise in the door leaf, as a result of which certain bulges in the cover plate appear bulging outwards in this area of the band. Furthermore, when stacking the doors, the impact on the hinge side is 4 mm higher per door, which leads to the stack increasing receives an inclined position, with twenty doors in a stack on the hinge side thus experiencing an increase of 80 mm. This leads to transport difficulties up to the side slipping of such stacks with the result of damage to the door leaves and a possibly shifting weight for a vehicle.

Aus der GB-A-2051191 ist bspw. eine Tür- und Rahmenkonstruktion bekannt, bei der der Türrahmen aus Hohlprofilen aus Metall besteht. Die Tür dieser vorbekannten Konstruktion paßt in einen ausgefalzten Teil des Rahmens, wenn sie in ihrer geschlossenen Stellung steht. Diese vorbekannte Tür verfügt über ein Scharnierband, bestehend aus einem mittleren, türblattseitig befestigten Bandbereich und zwei beidseitig des mittleren Bandbereiches angeordneten zargenseitig befestigten Bandbereichen, welches mit dem Rahmen verbunden ist. Hierzu durchgreift der mittlere Bandbereich, der an der Stirnseite der Tür befestigt ist, eine der Stirnseite zugewandte Ausnehmung im Türrahmen. Die Befestigung des mittleren Bandbereiches an der Stirnseite der Tür erfolgt hierbei über ein mit der Stirnseite der Tür verschraubtes Blech, in das ein einstückig mit dem mittleren Bandbereich ausgebildetes Hakenelement eingreift. Es ist erkennbar, daß diese vorbekannte Tür nicht mittels zargenaußenseitig angeordneten Scharnierbändern an dem Zargenholm schwenkbar festgelegt ist.From GB-A-2051191, for example, a door and frame construction is known in which the door frame consists of hollow profiles made of metal. The door of this known construction fits into a folded part of the frame when it is in its closed position. This previously known door has a hinge band consisting of a middle hinge area fastened on the door leaf side and two hinge-side fastened band areas arranged on both sides of the middle hinge area, which is connected to the frame. For this purpose, the middle hinge area, which is fastened to the front of the door, passes through a recess facing the front in the door frame. The middle hinge area is fastened to the front of the door by means of a sheet metal screwed to the end of the door, into which a hook element formed in one piece with the middle hinge area engages. It can be seen that this known door is not pivotally attached to the frame spar by means of hinge straps arranged on the outside of the frame.

Ferner ist aus der US-A-3566539 eine gattungsgemäße Stahltür bekannt, deren Torblatt mittels zargenaußenseitig angeordneten Scharnierbändern an einem Zargenholm schwenkbar festgelegt ist. Hierzu weist das Türblatt einen Falz auf, der aus zwei Blechlagen besteht, die in eine korrespondierende Ausnehmung eines türblattseitig befestigten Bandbereichs eingreifen. Der türblattseitig befestigte Bandbereich weist einen L-förmig ausgebildeten Steg auf, der sowohl an dem Falz als auch an der Stirnseite des Türblattes befestigt ist.Furthermore, a generic steel door is known from US-A-3566539, the door leaf of which is pivotally attached to a frame spar by means of hinge bands arranged on the outside of the frame. For this purpose, the door leaf has a fold which consists of two sheet metal layers which engage in a corresponding recess in a hinge area fastened on the door leaf side. The hinge area fastened on the door leaf side has an L-shaped web which is fastened both to the fold and to the end face of the door leaf.

Es ist Aufgabe der Erfindung, eine Tür der in Rede stehenden Art so auszubilden bzw. bandseitig anzuschlagen, daß die Breitseiten des Türblattes glattflächig ausgebildet sind, um durch Falzarbeiten entstehende Aufwölbungen im Deckelblech des Türblattes zu vermeiden und daß Aufeinanderstapeln der Türen derart zu erleichtern, daß eine Schräglage von mehreren aufeinandergelegten Türen vermieden wird.It is an object of the invention to provide a door of the type in question form or hinge on the hinge side that the broad sides of the door leaf are smooth to avoid bulges in the cover plate of the door leaf caused by folding work and to facilitate stacking of the doors in such a way that an inclined position of several stacked doors is avoided.

Ausgehend von einer Stahltür mit den Merkmalen des Oberbegriffes des Anspruches 1 wird diese Aufgabe erfindungsgemäß dadurch gelöst, daß der die Scharnierbänder aufnehmende Zargenholm im Einschwenkbereich der türblattseitig befestigten Bandbereiche ausgespart ausgebildet ist, wobei die türblattseitig befestigten Bandbereiche der Scharnierbänder bei geschlossenem Türblatt in die in dem der Scharnierbandachse zugewandten Zargenspiegel ausgebildeten Aussparungen eingreifen.Starting from a steel door with the features of the preamble of claim 1, this object is achieved according to the invention in that the frame spar receiving the hinge straps is recessed in the pivoting-in area of the hinge straps fastened on the door leaf side, the hinge straps fastened on the door leaf side when the door leaf is closed into the in which the Engage recesses formed on the hinge band axis facing frame mirror.

Dabei sind die Aussparungen vorzugsweise als Ausschnitte des Zargenholmes ausgebildet, wie dies Figur 2a) bis e) erkennen läßt. Wie insbesondere aus Figur 2 e) ersichtlich ist, greifen die türblattseitig befestigten Bandbereiche 3 der Scharnierbänder 2, die in Achsrichtung jeweils von den zargenseitig zu befestigenden Bandlappen 5 flankiert sind, in in dem der Scharnierbandachse zugewandten Zargenspiegel ausgebildete Ausschnitte 4 ein und sind an dem stirnseitigen Rahmen 6 des Türblattkastens sowie an der der Zarge zugewandten Innenseite des Falzes 9 angeschweißt, wobei der Falz 9 außenseitig glatt in die Ebene des Türblattbleches 8 des Türblattes übergeht, also ohne eine verformende Ausdrückung bleibt.The cutouts are preferably designed as cutouts of the frame spar, as can be seen in FIGS. 2a) to e). As can be seen in particular from FIG. 2 e), the band regions 3 of the hinge bands 2 fastened on the door leaf side, which are flanked in the axial direction in each case by the band tabs 5 to be fastened on the frame side, engage in cutouts 4 formed in the frame mirror facing the hinge band axis and are on the front side Frame 6 of the door leaf box and welded to the inside of the fold 9 facing the frame, the fold 9 smoothly passing on the outside into the plane of the door leaf plate 8 of the door leaf, that is to say without a deforming expression.
