Description

Die Erfindung bezieht sich auf eine bodenseitige Dichtungsvorrichtung für eine Tür mit den Merkmalen nach dem Oberbegriff des Anspruchs 1.The invention relates to a bottom sealing device for a door with the features according to the preamble of claim 1.

Bekannt sind automatische Dichtungsvorrichtungen (DE-B-24 58 496) bei denen das mit dem Absenkmechanismus versehene Dichtungsgehäuse unmittelbar durch Anschrauben unten am Türblatt befestigt wird. Zu diesem Zweck sind am Dichtungsgehäuse lotrechte Flansche vorgesehen. Es ist darüber hinaus bekannt, bei automatischen Dichtungsvorrichtungen das den Absenkmechanismus aufnehmende Gehäuse mittelbar mit Hilfe einer vorher am Türblatt angeschraubten Schiene zu befestigen. Diese Schiene kann bereits bei der Fabrikation der Tür angeschraubt werden. Das Dichtungsgehäuse kann später durch Einschieben in die Schiene am Türblatt befestigt werden, auch dann noch, wenn das Türblatt bereits in der Zarge aufgehängt ist.Automatic sealing devices (DE-B-24 58 496) are known in which the sealing housing provided with the lowering mechanism is attached directly to the door leaf by screwing it down. For this purpose, vertical flanges are provided on the seal housing. It is also known, in the case of automatic sealing devices, to indirectly secure the housing accommodating the lowering mechanism with the aid of a rail previously screwed onto the door leaf. This rail can already be screwed on when the door is manufactured. The seal housing can later be attached to the door leaf by pushing it into the rail, even if the door leaf is already suspended in the frame.

Bekannt ist (US-A 38 71 133) eine Dichtungsvorrichtung der vorgenannten Art, mit einer Schiene, bei der durch zur Mitte hin gerichtete Stege Nuten gebildet sind, in welche am Dichtungsgehäuse angeformte Leiste eingreifen. Die Leisten füllen dabei den gesamten Querschnitt der Nuten aus.Known (US-A 38 71 133) is a sealing device of the aforementioned type, with a rail in which grooves are formed by webs directed towards the center, into which engage molded bar on the seal housing. The strips fill the entire cross-section of the grooves.

Die Aufgabe der vorliegenden Erfindung ist in einer Weiterentwicklung des vorgenannten Standes der Technik im Hinblick auf eine Erleichterung des Einschiebvorganges zu sehen.The object of the present invention is to be seen in a further development of the aforementioned prior art with a view to facilitating the insertion process.

Diese Aufgabe wird durch eine Dichtungsvorrichtung mit den Merkmalen des Anspruchs 1 gelöst.This object is achieved by a sealing device with the features of claim 1.

Der Anspruch 2 hat eine dazu alternative Lösung dieser Aufgabe zum Inhalt.The claim 2 has an alternative solution to this problem for the content.

Nach der Erfindung ist der Kontakt zwischen den Gleitpartnern, nämlich Schiene einerseits, und Leisten andererseits im wesentlichen auf Linienberührungen beschränkt. Im übrigen Bereich ist Spiel vorgesehen. Aufgrund der Linienberührung ergibt sich eine geringe Reibung. Dadurch können sich Toleranzen in den Profilen nur geringfügig störend auswirken. Eventuelle Toleranzen werden durch elastische Verformungen ausgeglichen. Auch bei breiten Türen, z.B. bei Krankenhaustüren mit einer Bereite von 1,50 m ist das Einschieben kein Problem.According to the invention, the contact between the sliding partners, namely rail on the one hand, and strips on the other hand is essentially on line contact limited. In the rest of the area, play is planned. Due to the line contact, there is little friction. This means that tolerances in the profiles can only have a slightly disruptive effect. Any tolerances are compensated for by elastic deformations. Even with wide doors, for example hospital doors with a width of 1.50 m, insertion is no problem.

Im folgenden werden Ausführungsbeispiele der Erfindung näher beschrieben unter Bezugnahme auf die beiliegenden Zeichnungen

Fig. 1
zeigt in vergrößertem Maßstab einen lotrechten Schnitt durch den unteren Bereich einer Tür nach der Erfindung mit einer bodenseitigen automatischen Dichtungsvorrichtung;
Fig. 2
stellt in noch weiter vergrößertem Maßstab den Bereich II aus Fig. 1 dar;

zeigt ebenfalls im vergrößerten Maßstab einen lotrechten Schnitt durch eine weitere Ausführungsform der Erfindung.
Exemplary embodiments of the invention are described in more detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings
Fig. 1
shows on an enlarged scale a vertical section through the lower region of a door according to the invention with an automatic sealing device on the bottom;
Fig. 2
represents the area II of Fig. 1 on an even larger scale;
Fig. 3
also shows on a larger scale a vertical section through a further embodiment of the invention.

Bei einem Türblatt 1 ist ein Rahmen bestehend aus kastenförmigen Profilstäben 2 durch Bleche abgedeckt. Man erkennt in Fig. 1 eine Verriegelungsstange 5 und als unterer Abschluß und als weiterer Teil der Tür einen unten offenen Profilstab 3 mit U-Querschnitt. Der Raum in dem Profilstab 3 dient zur Aufnahme eines rechteckigen Dichtungsgehäuses 20, das unten offen ist und das einen Absenkmechanismus 23 aufnimmt, durch den ein Absenkstab 24 mit einem Dichtungselement beim Schließen der Tür abgesenkt wird. Im Bereich der Gehäusedecke 21 sind Leisten 22 angeformt, geeignet zum Einschieben in eine Schiene 10, die mit Schrauben 11 am Profilstab 3 des Türblattes befestigt ist.In the case of a door leaf 1, a frame consisting of box-shaped profile bars 2 is covered by metal sheets. One can see in Fig. 1 a locking rod 5 and as a lower end and as a further part of the door a profile bar 3 open at the bottom with a U-cross section. The space in the profile rod 3 serves to accommodate a rectangular seal housing 20 which is open at the bottom and which receives a lowering mechanism 23, through which a lowering rod 24 with a sealing element is lowered when the door is closed. In the area of the housing cover 21, strips 22 are formed, suitable for insertion into a rail 10 which is fastened to the profile bar 3 of the door leaf with screws 11.

Hinsichtlich der Beschaffenheit von Schiene und Leiste erkennt man aus Fig. 2 weitere Einzelheiten. Die Schiene 10 hat beiderseits Flansche 12, die sich in zur Mitte hin gerichteten Stegen 13 fortsetzen, so daß beidseitig jeweils eine Nut 14 gebildet wird. An der Gehäusedecke 21 sind Leisten 22 gebildet, die sich nach außen erstrecken, passend in die Nut 14, so daß die Verbindung von Schiene und Gehäuse durch Einschieben stattfinden kann. Beim Einschieben ist eine Führung gegeben im Bereich der Stirnfläche 22a, sowie im Bereich der Stirnfläche des Steges 13. Im Hinblick auf den Ausgleich von Toleranzen sind unterhalb der Nutdecke 15 und über dem Nutboden 16 Toleranzen eingehalten. Durch diese Toleranzen soll für den Fall, daß die Schiene 10 durch Ungleichmäßigkeiten am Profilstab 3 nach dem Anschrauben nicht mehr exakt gerade ist, das Einschieben nicht behindert sein.With regard to the nature of the rail and bar, further details can be seen from FIG. The rail 10 has flanges 12 on both sides, which are continued in webs 13 directed towards the center, so that a groove 14 is formed on each side. On the housing cover 21 strips 22 are formed, which extend outwards, fitting into the groove 14, so that the rail and housing can be connected by insertion. When inserted, guidance is provided in the area of the end face 22a and in the area of the end face of the web 13. With regard to the Compensation of tolerances are maintained below the groove ceiling 15 and above the groove bottom 16 tolerances. These tolerances should not impede the insertion in the event that the rail 10 is no longer exactly straight after screwing due to irregularities on the profile bar 3.

Bei dem Ausführungsbeispiel nach Fig. 3 ist an einer Schiene 50 jeweils seitlich ein aufgebogener Steg 51 gebildet mit einer konkaven Stirnfläche 51a. An der Gehäusedecke 52 des Dichtungsgehäuses ist jeweils seitlich eine gekrümmte Führungsleiste 53 gebildet, deren Spitze in die Stirnfläche 51a eingreift.In the exemplary embodiment according to FIG. 3, a bent web 51 is formed on the side of a rail 50 with a concave end face 51a. On the housing cover 52 of the seal housing, a curved guide strip 53 is formed laterally, the tip of which engages in the end face 51a.

Bei dieser Ausführungsform ist es möglich bei Auswahl elastischer Werkstoffe das Dichtungsgehäuse auch durch Aufdrücken auf die Schiene zu befestigen, wobei sich durch elastische Verformungen eine Rastverbindung ergibt.In this embodiment, when selecting elastic materials, it is also possible to fasten the seal housing by pressing it onto the rail, a latching connection resulting from elastic deformations.

Die Erfindung ist anwendbar bei Türen aus Aluminium, Kunststoff, Holz oder anderen Werkstoffen, die ähnlich wie bei diesen Türen einen unten offenen Hohlraum haben, sowie bei Holztüren, wo ein Hohlraum durch nachträgliche Bearbeitung geschaffen wird.The invention is applicable to doors made of aluminum, plastic, wood or other materials that have a cavity open at the bottom, similar to these doors, and to wooden doors, where a cavity is created by subsequent processing.
