Description

Die Erfindung betrifft ein Tor mit einem einstückigen Torblatt, daß beidseitig mittels Rollen in etwa vertikal und/oder horizontal verlaufend anzuordnenden Führungsschienen und Lenkergestängen über Kopf bewegbar geführt und mit Hilfe einer Federeinrichtung gewichtsausgleichend gehalten ist, wobei das Torblatt mit Verbindungselementen direkt am Mauerwerk und/oder an einer bereits vorhandenen Zarge befestigbar ist.The invention relates to a gate with a one-piece door leaf that is guided on both sides by means of rollers approximately vertically and / or horizontally extending guide rails and handlebar linkages movable overhead and is held with the aid of a spring device to counterbalance the weight, the door leaf with connecting elements directly on the masonry and / or can be attached to an existing frame.

Die hier angesprochenen Tortypen sind in der Regel als sogenannte Einblatt-Überkopftore bekannt und weisen eine Reihe von konstruktiven Ausgestaltungen auf, die je nach Platzbedarf innerhalb eines Raumes, insbesondere einer Garage, oder außerhalb dieses Raumes unterschiedlich bewegbar geführt sind.The door types mentioned here are generally known as so-called single-leaf overhead doors and have a number of constructive designs which, depending on the space requirement, are guided in different ways within a room, in particular a garage, or outside this room.

Ein erster Tortyp dieser Art ist in den oberen Seitenkantenbereichen des Torblattes jeweils mit einer Laufrolle versehen, welche Laufrollen in horizontal ins Garagen innere geführte Führungsschienen eingreifen. Im Höhenmittelbereich des Torblattes ist an der Zarge eine Schwenkachse für einen zweiarmigen Hebel festgelegt, dessen eines Ende im unteren Kantenbereich des Torblattes angelenkt ist und an dessen anderem Ende über ein Lochband eine Gewichtsausgleichsfeder angreift.A first type of door of this type is provided in the upper side edge regions of the door leaf with a roller, which rollers engage in guide rails which are guided horizontally into the garage. In the central area of the height of the door leaf, a pivot axis is fixed to the frame for a two-armed lever, one end of which is articulated in the lower edge region of the door leaf and the other end of which acts on a weight compensation spring via a perforated band.

Ein zweiter Torblatttyp arbeitet mit in seinen unteren Eckbereichen angeordneten Rollen, die in etwa vertikal, also parallel zur Zarge verlaufenden Führungsschienen geführt sind. Eine weitere Führung besteht darin, daß auf jeder Seite des Torblattes ein Lenker vorgesehen ist, der mit seinem einen Ende im oberen Eckbereich der Zarge und mit seinem anderen Ende im Höhenmittelbereich des Torblattes angelenkt ist. Desweiteren ist bei einem solchen Tortyp bekannt, zusätzlich ein horizontales Führungsschienenpaar vorzusehen, in welches Rollen eingreifen, und zwar dergestalt, daß die Lenker längenveränderlich sind, um die in diesem Zusammenhang auftretende besondere Bewegungsbahn im Höhenmittelbereich des Torblattes in bezug auf das obere Seitenzargenende gesehene Bewegungsbahn zu ermöglichen.A second type of door leaf works with rollers arranged in its lower corner areas, which are guided approximately vertically, that is to say parallel to the frame, guide rails. Another guide is that a handlebar is provided on each side of the door leaf, which is articulated with one end in the upper corner region of the frame and with its other end in the central height region of the door leaf. Furthermore, it is known in such a door type to additionally provide a pair of horizontal guide rails in which rollers engage, in such a way that the handlebars are variable in length in order to take into account the particular path of movement occurring in this connection in the central height region of the door leaf with respect to the upper side frame end enable.

Der weitere, hier aufgeführte Tortyp zeichnet sich dadurch aus, daß im seitlichen Höhenmittelbereich des Torblattes Rollen vorgesehen sind, die in vertikalen, sich etwa vor diesem Höhenmittelbereich noch oben hin erstreckenden Führungen laufen. Darüberhinaus ist wieder ein Lenker vorgesehen, der im Bereich etwa des unteren Drittels des Torblattes von der Schließlage aus gesehen angelenkt ist und anderen Endes im oberen Zargenbereich verschwenkbar gelagert ist. Ein solches Torblatt weist eine Gewichtsausgleichseinrichtung mit oberhalb der zu verschließenden Toröffnung etwa sich horizontal erstreckenden Torsionsfedern und um eine entsprechend verlaufende Achse angeordnete Seitrommeln auf, wobei das am Torblatt zu befestigende Seilende etwa im Bereich der Rollen, insbesondere an deren Achsen, angreift. Diese Rollen sind bei einer praktischen Ausführung etwa im Mittelbereich zwischen der Hälfte der Höhe und dem unteren Drittel des Torblattes (im Schließzustand betrachtet) angeordnet. Aufgrund der Lage der Rollen ist es ohne weiteres ersichtlich, daß im Offenzustand dieser "Drittelbereich" und etwas mehr des Torblattes nach außen hin wie ein vorstehendes Dach übersteht. Von Vorteil ist jedoch, daß das Torblatt bei der Überführung von der Schließlage in die ÖfInungslage und umgekehrt nicht so viel Innenraum des zu verschließenden Gebäudeteils, beispielsweise Garage, benötigt wie das vorstehend geschilderte Tor, je nach Konstruktion auch weniger dieses Raumes, als dies bei dem eingangs geschilderten Tor der Fall ist.The further type of door listed here is characterized in that rollers are provided in the lateral central height region of the door leaf, which run in vertical guides which extend approximately upstream from this central height region. In addition, a handlebar is again provided, which is articulated in the area of the lower third of the door leaf as seen from the closed position and is pivotally mounted at the other end in the upper frame area. Such a door leaf has a weight compensation device with torsion springs which extend approximately horizontally above the door opening to be closed and side drums arranged around a correspondingly extending axis, the cable end to be fastened to the door leaf acting approximately in the region of the rollers, in particular on their axes. In a practical version, these rollers are arranged approximately in the middle area between half the height and the lower third of the door leaf (viewed in the closed state). Due to the position of the rollers, it is readily apparent that in the open state this "third area" and a little more of the door leaf protrude outwards like a protruding roof. It is an advantage, however, that the door leaf does not need as much interior space of the part of the building to be locked, e.g. garage, when transferring from the closed position to the opening position and vice versa, depending on the construction, less of this space than that of the door described above gate described above is the case.

Für den Fall, daß die Abmaße der zu verschließenden Gebäudeöffnungen übereinstimmen, können die Torblätter selbst für alle diese Tore gleich ausgestaltet sein. Lediglich der Anbau der Beschläge bzw. Führungselemente oder dergleichen entscheidet dann, zu welchem dieser drei Tortypen das Torblatt ausgestaltet wird.In the event that the dimensions of the building openings to be closed match, the door leaves themselves can be designed identically for all of these gates. Only the attachment of the fittings or guide elements or the like then decides which of these three door types the door leaf is designed for.

Es ist grundsätzlich bekannt, Tore der in Rede stehenden Art mit der zugehörigen Zarge zu einer Transporteinheit vorgefertigt zusammenzubauen, und zwar mit dem Ziel, einen raumsparenden Transport zu ermöglichen und am Einsatzort nur noch wenig Montagearbeiten durchführen zu müssen. Solche Tore werden für den Transport auf Paletten auf einen hinsichtlich der Torblattdicke möglichst geringen Raum beschränkt ausgestaltet, ggfs. werden Führungsschienen, beispielsweise bei dem eingangs geschilderten Tortyp, mit Rollen etc. als Anbaupaket mitgeliefert, insbesondere dann, wenn ein Nachrüsten von Toren in Frage kommt.It is known in principle to prefabricate gates of the type in question with the associated frame prefabricated to form a transport unit, with the aim of enabling space-saving transport and requiring only a small amount of assembly work to be carried out at the place of use. Such gates are designed for transport on pallets in a space that is as small as possible with regard to the door leaf thickness; if necessary, guide rails, for example in the case of the type of gate described at the outset, are supplied with rollers, etc. as an attachment package, in particular when retrofitting gates is an option .

Beispielsweise ist der DE-A-30 14 414 ein Überkopftor, insbesondere für Garagen bekannt, welches ein Torblatt, zum Einbau dienende senkrechte Seitenteile, Führungen und ein Gestänge aufweist, an dem eine Feder zum Kompensieren des Gewichts des Torblattes angeordnet ist. Bei diesem vorbekannten Überkopftor weist das Gestänge zwei längenveränderliche, einarmige Hebel auf, deren eine Enden im oberen Bereich der Seitenteile und deren andere Enden längenveränderlich an dem Torblatt angelenkt sind, wobei die Fedem zwei Gasfedern sind, deren eine Enden an dem Seitenteil und deren anderen Enden an dem Hebel angelenkt sind.For example, DE-A-30 14 414 has an overhead door, in particular for garages, which has a door leaf, vertical side parts used for installation, guides and a linkage on which a spring is arranged to compensate for the weight of the door leaf. In this known overhead door, the linkage has two variable-length, one-armed levers, one end of which is articulated on the door leaf in the upper region of the side parts and the other ends of which are articulated in length, the springs being two gas springs, one end of which is on the side part and the other ends of which are hinged to the lever.

Unter Berücksichtigung bestehender Gewohnheiten und/oder in Anpassung an individuelle Ausgestaltungen besteht jedoch vielfach der Wunsch, die mittels des Torblattes zu verschließende Toröffnung bauseitig zu gestalten, beispielsweise dadurch, daß man grundsätzlich einen Holzrahmen vormontiert, der als Zarge für das Torblatt, das mit einer Holzbeplankung in Anpassung an diese Vorstellung versehen werden kann, dienen soll. Es ist ebenso möglich, die Laibung der Torblattöffnung so zu gestalten, daß man auf eine gesonderte Zarge bzw. einen Zargenrahmen verzichten kann, beispielsweise durch die Herstellung als entsprechend maßgetreue Sichtbetonkonstruktion.Taking existing habits into account and / or adapting to individual designs, however, there is often a desire to design the door opening to be closed by means of the door leaf, for example by basically pre-assembling a wooden frame, which acts as a frame for the door leaf, which is covered with wood planking can be provided in accordance with this idea. It is also possible to design the reveal of the door leaf opening in such a way that a separate frame or frame frame can be dispensed with, for example by producing it as a correspondingly true-to-size exposed concrete structure.

Unter Berücksichtigung dieses Umstandes ist es Aufgabe der Erfindung, ein weitgehend vormontiertes Tor zur Verfügung zu stellen, das vormontiert wenig Raum für den Transport und eine evtl. Zwischenlagerung verlangt und am Einsatzort einfach montierbar ist.Taking this circumstance into account, it is an object of the invention to provide a largely preassembled door which, when preassembled, requires little space for transport and possible intermediate storage and is easy to install at the place of use.

Diese Aufgabe wird erfindugnsgemäß durch die Merkmale des Anspruchs 1 gelöst. Auf diese Weise wird es möglich, die Tore ohne Zarge zu liefern und am Einbauort durch entsprechendes Aufstellen und Einrichten der Transporteinheit zugleich als Schablone für das Anbringen von Befestigungsbolzen und dergleichen Verbindungselemente zur ortsfesten Zarge bereitzustellen. Lediglich die zargenseitigen Abdeckbleche können als ansonsten nicht mit dem Torblatt bzw. dessen Beschlägen verbundene Einheit am Einbauort im Zargenbereich festgelegt werden müssen. Dies gilt für die beiden Tortypen zumindest, die mit vertikalen Führungsschienen arbeiten. Demgegenüber können bei dem zuerst genannten Tortyp die Abdeckbleche jeweils eine Einheit mit dem Lagerbock für den zweiarmigen Hebel bilden und sind dann ebenfalls zur Gänze an dem Torblatt gehalten.This object is achieved according to the invention by the features of claim 1. In this way it becomes possible to deliver the gates without a frame and to provide them at the installation site by setting up and setting up the transport unit as a template for attaching fastening bolts and similar connecting elements to the stationary frame. Only the cover plates on the frame side, as a unit that is not otherwise connected to the door leaf or its fittings, can be determined at the installation location in the frame area. This applies at least to the two types of doors that work with vertical guide rails. In contrast, in the case of the door type mentioned first, the cover plates can each form a unit with the bearing block for the two-armed lever and are then also held in their entirety on the door leaf.

Unter Bezugnahme auf die vorstehend beschriebenen Tortypen wird im Folgenden beispielsweise eine solche vormontierte Einheit eines Tores ohne Zargenrahmen beschrieben.With reference to the door types described above, such a preassembled unit of a door without a frame is described below, for example.

Bei einem Torblatt mit im oberen Kantenbereich angeordneten Rollen, die in etwa horizontal im Garageninnenraum angeordnete Führungsschienen eingreifen, und das mittels eines Schwenkarmpaares gehalten sind, dessen Schwenkarme im unteren Randbereich des Torblattes angelenkt und schwenkbar an einer an der Zarge festzulegenden Konsole gelagert sind, werden die als zweiarmige Hebel ausgeführten Schwenkarme parallel zur Torblattebene ausgerichtet, was auch - zwangsläufig - für die später etwa horizontal auszurichtenden Laufschienen gilt. Dadurch erreicht man eine in Torblattdicke gesehen eng gepackte Transportstellung des Torblattes. Die Abdeckbleche sind im oberen Bereich am Torblatt und im unteren Bereich weit über die Mitte nach oben hinaus erstreckt an dem Lagerbock befestigt. Zur Lagestabilisierung dieser Transportausrichtung ist zwischen den oberen Eckbereichen des Torblattes und den in die Parallelausrichtung zum Torblatt verschwenkten, jeweils zugehörigen Führungsschienen je ein Metallstreifen vorgesehen, der an beiden Enden mit dem Torblatt einerseits und der Führungsschiene andererseits über eine jeweils geeignete Schraubeinrichtung festgelegt ist. Um den Lagerbock zu halten, ist das untere Abdeckblech an dem Torblattseitenbereich festgeschraubt. Schließlich ist in den unteren Eckbereichen, dort wo die Federhaken für das Einhängen der bei diesem Tortyp vorgesehenen Gewichtsausgleichs-Schraubenfedern angeordnet sind, ein Winkelblech vorgesehen, das den Federhaken mit dem torblattseitigen Ende des jeweiligen Hebels verbindet, und zwar in Richtung einer Versetzbewegung parallel zur Torblattebene und horizontal. Im übrigen hintergreift das Torblatt mit federbelasteten Klinken, die zentral vom Türgriff aus betätigt werden, die unteren Abdeckungen.In the case of a door leaf with rollers arranged in the upper edge area, which engage in approximately horizontally arranged guide rails in the garage interior, and which are held by means of a pair of swivel arms, the swivel arms of which are articulated in the lower edge region of the door leaf and are pivotably mounted on a bracket to be fixed to the frame Swivel arms designed as two-armed levers are aligned parallel to the door leaf level, which also - inevitably - applies to the later horizontally aligned rails. This results in a tightly packed transport position of the door leaf as seen in the door leaf thickness. The cover plates are attached to the bearing block in the upper area on the door leaf and in the lower area extending far beyond the center. To stabilize the position of this transport orientation, a metal strip is provided between the upper corner areas of the door leaf and the respective guide rails pivoted into the parallel orientation to the door leaf, which has a suitable strip at both ends with the door leaf on the one hand and the guide rail on the other hand Screw device is set. In order to hold the bearing block, the lower cover plate is screwed onto the door leaf side area. Finally, an angle plate is provided in the lower corner areas, where the spring hooks for attaching the weight compensation coil springs provided for this type of door are arranged, which connects the spring hook to the end of the respective lever on the door leaf side, in the direction of an offset movement parallel to the door leaf level and horizontal. In addition, the door leaf engages behind the lower covers with spring-loaded latches that are operated centrally from the door handle.

Am Montageort wird das Torblatt so wie es ist an die dortige Zargenausbildung bzw. Toröffnungslaibung gehalten, und es werden die Bohrungen vorgenommen bzw. Dübel gesetzt, die nach den vorgebohrten Öffnungen in den zargenseitigen Beschlägen funktionsmäßig und abmessungsgerecht durch die angelieferte Torblatttransportheit vorgesehen sind. Dann werden die Verbindungen im oberen Eckbereich zwischen Torblatt und Führungsschiene, die Verbindung zwischen dem Torblatt und der unteren Abdeckung und die Verbindung im Bereich des Federhakens entfernt. Nach Verschwenken der Fürungsschienen in etwa die Horizontale und Festlegung daselbst ist das Tor betriebsfertig.At the installation site, the door leaf is held as it is by the frame or door opening reveal there, and the holes are drilled or dowels are placed, which are provided according to the function and dimensions provided by the door leaf transport after the pre-drilled openings in the frame-side fittings. Then the connections in the upper corner area between the door leaf and guide rail, the connection between the door leaf and the lower cover and the connection in the area of the spring hook are removed. After swiveling the guide rails approximately horizontally and fixing them there, the gate is ready for operation.

Bei dem zweitgenannten Tortyp sind die vertikalen Fürungsschienen bereits in der richtigen Lage, und zwar sowohl für den Betrieb als auch für die Transportstellung. In der Schließ- und Transportstellung des Torblattes erstrecken sich also die etwa vertikalen Führungsschienen parallel zur Ebene des Torblattes. Hier genügen zwei Verbindungen, eine im oberen und eine im unteren Eckbereich - natürlich jeweils auf beiden Torblattseiten. Die Verbindung im oberen Eckbereich zwischen Torblatt und zugehöriger vertikaler Führungsschiene kann ähnlich erfolgen, wie dies bereits im Zusammenhang mit dem ersten Ausführungsbeispiel dargelegt wurde. Im unteren Bereich genügt es, von der Führungsschiene her in den unteren Rollenhalterbock ein fluchtendes Bohrungspaar vorzusehen und eine Schraube hindurchzuführen.With the second type of door, the vertical guide rails are already in the correct position, both for operation and for the transport position. In the closed and transport position of the door leaf, the approximately vertical guide rails extend parallel to the plane of the door leaf. Two connections are sufficient here, one in upper and one in the lower corner area - of course on both sides of the door leaf. The connection in the upper corner area between the door leaf and the associated vertical guide rail can take place in a similar manner, as has already been explained in connection with the first exemplary embodiment. In the lower area, it is sufficient to provide an aligned pair of bores from the guide rail in the lower roller holder bracket and to pass a screw through it.

Da dieses Torblatt nicht im Zuge der Öffnungsbewegung aus der zu verschließenden Gebäudeöffnung austritt, bedarf es keiner Abdeckbleche. Es ist lediglich im Randbereich des Torblattes eine Dichtung für den Anschlag an der Zarge oder der Laibung vorgesehen.Since this door leaf does not emerge from the building opening to be closed in the course of the opening movement, no cover plates are required. A seal for the stop on the frame or reveal is only provided in the edge area of the door leaf.

Beim dritten geschilderten Tortyp wird zunächst ebenfalls die Verbindungsschraube vorgesehen, und zwar im unteren Bereich der nach unten hin kürzer ausgebildeten vertikalen Führungsschiene und dem Lagerbock für die in diesem Mittelbereich angeordnete Laufrolle. Bei diesem dritten Tortyp, der mit der Torsionsfeder-Gewichtsausgleichseinrichtung arbeitet, wird mit Hilfe von drei "verlorenen" Winkelstücken haltend gearbeitet, und zwar in der richtigen, später bei Festlegung an der Zarge bzw. der Laibung benötigten Zuordnung der Beschläge, insbesondere auch der Halterung der Gewichtsausgleichs-Federwelle. Darüber hinaus ist es lediglich noch erforderlich, im Bereich der Laufrolle, im unteren hälftigen Bereich also, wieder eine Schraubverbindung zwischen dem Lagerbock für die Rolle an dem Torblatt und der an der Zarge festzulegenden vertikalen Führungsschiene, herzustellen um letztere zu halten. Hier ist der obere Teil des Abdeckbleches torblattfest und damit vormontiert, während hier, wie auch bei dem vorstehenden, zweiten Typ die vorhandenen unteren Abdeck- bzw. Anschlagleisten, die zargenseitig festgelegt werden, gesondert oder an irgendwelchen anderen Teilen der Transporteinheit gehalten mitgeliefert werden.In the third type of door described, the connecting screw is also initially provided, specifically in the lower region of the vertical guide rail, which is shorter at the bottom, and the bearing block for the roller arranged in this central region. In this third type of door, which works with the torsion spring weight compensation device, work is carried out with the help of three "lost" elbows, in the correct assignment of the fittings, in particular also the holder, which will later be required when fixing to the frame or reveal the counterbalance spring shaft. In addition, it is only necessary to produce a screw connection between the bearing block for the roller on the door leaf and the vertical guide rail to be fixed on the frame in the area of the roller, in the lower half area, in order to hold the latter. Here the upper part of the cover plate is fixed to the door leaf and thus pre-assembled, while here, as with the second type above, the existing lower cover or stop strips, which are fixed on the frame side, are supplied separately or held on any other parts of the transport unit.

Zum letztgenannten Tortyp ist noch darauf hinzuweisen, daß die Federwelleneinrichtung in Richtung der Torblattdicke des geschlossenen Torblattes gesehen, praktisch nicht größer bemessen ist, als dessen Erstreckung bzw. die Breite der zargenseitig festzulegenden Führungsschienen. Da das Seil dieser Federausgleichseinrichtung an der Rolle und damit grob gesehen im Mittelbereich des Torblattes angreift, ergibt sich nur eine verhältnismäßig kleine Hubstrecke, so daß der Durchmesser der Seiltrommeln entsprechend gering gehalten werden kann.Regarding the latter type of door, it should also be pointed out that the spring shaft device, viewed in the direction of the door leaf thickness of the closed door leaf, is practically no larger than its extension or the width of the guide rails to be defined on the frame side. Since the cable of this spring compensation device acts on the roller and thus roughly seen in the central region of the door leaf, there is only a relatively small stroke distance, so that the diameter of the cable drums can be kept correspondingly small.

Die Figuren 1 bis 3 zeigen ein erstes Ausführungsbeispiel mit dem Torblatt 1, das mit oberen Rollen 2 in Führungsschienen 3 geführt ist, die im gezeigten Transportzustand sich etwa parallel zur Ebene des im Schließzustand gedachten Torblattes 1 befinden und die im Gebrauchszustand in etwa horizontale Ausrichtung verschenkt werden. Dies geschieht hinsichtlich der angedeuteten Halterung 4, die der Festlegung an dem nicht gezeigten Rahmen bzw. Laibung der Toröffnung dienen.Figures 1 to 3 show a first embodiment with the door leaf 1, which is guided with upper rollers 2 in guide rails 3, which are in the transport state shown located approximately parallel to the plane of the door leaf 1 intended in the closed state and which are given away in the horizontal state in the use state. This is done with regard to the indicated bracket 4, which are used to fix the frame or reveal of the door opening, not shown.

Zwischen dem Torblatt 1 und der Führungsschiene 3 ist ein Verbindungsstück 11 vorgesehen, das die Führungsschiene 3 mit dem Torblatt 1 in der Transportstellung verbindet. Dies erfolgt mit Hilfe einer Schraube 12 in einer vorhandenen Öffnung der Führungsschiene 3 - beispielsweise für deren Festlegung - und mittels einer Schraube 13, die im Bereich des Halters 14 der zugeordneten Rolle 2 angreift bzw. in ein dort vorgesehenes Gewinde eingeschraubt ist.Between the door leaf 1 and the guide rail 3, a connecting piece 11 is provided which connects the guide rail 3 with the door leaf 1 in the transport position. This is done with the aid of a screw 12 in an existing opening of the guide rail 3 - for example for fixing it - and by means of a screw 13 which engages in the area of the holder 14 of the associated roller 2 or is screwed into a thread provided there.

In jedem unteren Eckbereich des Torblattes 1 ist ein Verbindungsstück 24 mittels einer Schraube 25 auf den zugehörigen Federhaken aufgeschraubt und sorgt für die entsprechende, abstandsgerechte Halterung.In each lower corner area of the door leaf 1, a connecting piece 24 is screwed onto the associated spring hook by means of a screw 25 and ensures the appropriate, distance-appropriate mounting.

Wie aus der dritten Teildarstellung ersichtlich, verbindet eine Schraube 26 in etwa halber Torblatthöhe die untere Deckleiste mit dem Torblatt.As can be seen from the third partial illustration, a screw 26 connects the lower cover strip to the door leaf at approximately half the height of the door leaf.

Im Ausführungsbeispiel nach den Figuren 4 bis 6 ist das Torblatt 1 mit dem Wellenhalter 33 über ein Verbindungsstück 31 festgelegt, und zwar über Schrauben 32, wie dies Figur 4 erkennen läßt. Mittels eines weiteren Verbindungsstückes 43 wird das andere Halterungsende 44, das der Seiltrommel 46 zugewandt ist, mit dem Torblatt 1 verbunden, und zwar über entsprechende Schrauben 45 und 47. Etwa in 1/3-Torblatthöhe wird die Führungsschiene 48 mit Hilfe einer Schraube 49 und einer Distanzbuchse 50 am Rollenhalter 51 festgelegt.In the exemplary embodiment according to FIGS. 4 to 6, the door leaf 1 is fixed to the shaft holder 33 via a connecting piece 31, specifically by means of screws 32, as can be seen in FIG. 4. By means of a further connecting piece 43, the other holder end 44, which faces the cable drum 46, is connected to the door leaf 1, specifically by means of corresponding screws 45 and 47 At 1/3 door leaf height, the guide rail 48 is fixed on the roller holder 51 with the aid of a screw 49 and a spacer bush 50.
