Abstract

The gate fields (2) comprise a metal shell (3) with supporting edge profiles (5) and an insulating filling (4). In the thrust areas (8) between adjoining gate fields (2), seals (13) and fire protection laminates (14) are fitted. In the length area of the gate fields connecting profiles (6,7) are applied to the edge profiles (5). The connecting profiles (6,7) on the one hand form a convex, and on the other hand a concave outer contour (9,10) and at least the one (6) of them has accommodations (11,12) for seals (13) and fire protection laminates (14). The edge profiles (5) have an outwardly open, U-shaped cross-section and the connecting profiles can be clipped into the edge profiles.

Description

Die Erfindung bezieht sich auf ein Sektionaltor mit mehreren über die Torbreite oder -höhe sich längserstreckenden, längsseitig gelenkig aneinandergereihten Torfeldern, die jeweils aus einer metallenen Schale mit tragenden Randprofilen und einer Isolierfüllung bestehen, wobei in den Stoßbereichen zwischen benachbarten Torfeldern Dichtungen und Brandschutzlaminate eingelegt sind.The invention relates to a sectional door with a plurality of door panels extending longitudinally and articulated along the door width or height, each consisting of a metal shell with load-bearing edge profiles and an insulating filling, seals and fire protection laminates being inserted in the joint areas between adjacent door panels.

Sektionaltore sind in vielen Ausführungsbeispielen als Garagentore, Hallentore od. dgl. bekannt und gemäß der AT-B 394 881 wurde auch schon vorgeschlagen, ein solches Sektionaltor als feuerhemmendes Tor bzw. als Brandschutztor auszubilden. Dazu sind die einzelnen Torfelder mit einem Innenrahmen verstärkt, der mit einem die Schale einfassenden Außenrahmen verbunden ist. Die aus Blechen bestehende und damit brandfeste Schale nimmt eine entsprechende Isolierfüllung auf, die eine geforderte Standzeit bei im Brandfall auftretender Hitzeeinwirkung mit sich bringt, und im Stoßbereich vorgesehene Dichtungen und Brandschutzlaminate machen die Fugen zwischen den Torfeldern Rauch- und Gasdicht, welche Dichtungen und Laminate in geeigneten Aufnahmen der Außenrahmenprofile eingesetzt sind. Diese Torfelder bedürfen somit vor allem wegen der speziellen Randgestaltung eines beträchtlichen Herstellungsaufwandes und es ist eine verhältnismäßig schwere Konstruktion in Kauf zu nehmen, die Schwierigkeiten bei der Führung und beim Antrieb der Sektionaltore befürchten läßt.Sectional doors are known in many exemplary embodiments as garage doors, hall doors or the like, and according to AT-B 394 881 it has also been proposed to design such a sectional door as a fire-retardant door or as a fire protection door. For this purpose, the individual gate fields are reinforced with an inner frame which is connected to an outer frame enclosing the shell. The sheet, which is fireproof, contains a corresponding insulating filling, which provides a required service life in the event of heat in the event of a fire, and seals and fire protection laminates provided in the joint area make the joints between the door fields smoke and gas tight, which seals and laminates in suitable recordings of the outer frame profiles are used. These gate fields therefore require a considerable amount of production, above all because of the special edge design, and a relatively heavy construction must be accepted, which gives rise to fears of difficulties in guiding and driving the sectional doors.

Der Erfindung liegt daher die Aufgabe zugrunde, diese Mängel zu beseitigen und ein Sektionaltor der eingangs geschilderten Art zu schaffen, das den Anforderungen eines feuerhemmenden Tores bzw. eines Brandschutztores voll genügt und sich dabei durch seine vergleichsweise einfache und aufwandsarme Bauweise auszeichnet.The invention is therefore based on the object of eliminating these deficiencies and creating a sectional door of the type described at the outset which fully meets the requirements of a fire-retardant gate or a fire-protection gate and which is distinguished by its comparatively simple and inexpensive construction.

Die Erfindung löst diese Aufgabe dadurch, daß im Längenbereich der Torfelder auf die Randprofile eigene Anschlußprofile aufsetzbar sind, welche paarweise die Stöße bildenden Anschlußprofile in an sich bekannter Weise einerseits eine konvexe, anderseits eine konkave Außenkontur bilden und von welchen Anschlußprofilen wenigstens die einen Aufnahmen für Dichtungen und Brandschutzlaminate aufweisen. Da die stoßbildenden Längsprofile der Torfelder nicht mehr integrierende Bestandteile dieser Torfelder sind, sondern aus eigenen Anschlußprofilen bestehen, können die Torfelder in rationeller Weise aus einem einfachen Grundelement hergestellt werden, auf das dann lediglich die Anschlußprofile mit den erforderlichen Dichtungen und Laminaten für die Stoßausbildung aufgesetzt zu werden brauchen. Die konvexe bzw. konkave Außenkontur der Anschlußprofile ergibt dabei eine im wesentlichen gleichbleibende, gut abzudichtende Stoßfuge, die auch bei einem gegenseitigen Verschwenken der Torfelder während des Öffnens oder Schließens nicht klafft und daher auch keine Verletzungsgefahr mit sich bringt.The invention solves this problem in that in the length range of the gate fields on the edge profiles own connection profiles can be placed, which in pairs form the connection profiles forming joints on the one hand a convex, on the other hand a concave outer contour and of which connection profiles at least the one receptacles for seals and have fire protection laminates. Since the joint-forming longitudinal profiles of the gate fields are no longer an integral part of these gate fields, but rather consist of their own connection profiles, the gate fields can be produced in a rational manner from a simple basic element, onto which only the connection profiles with the required seals and laminates for impact formation are then placed will need. The convex or concave outer contour of the connection profiles results in an essentially constant, well-sealed butt joint, which does not gap even when the door fields pivot when opening or closing and therefore does not pose any risk of injury.

An sich können die Anschlußprofile auf jede geeignete Weise mit den Randprofilen der Torfelder verbunden werden, doch ist es besonders zweckmäßig, wenn die Randprofile einen auswärts offenen u-förmigen Querschnitt aufweisen und die Anschlußprofile in die Randprofile einklipsbar sind. Dadurch lassen sich die Anschlußprofile mit wenigen Handgriffen montieren und an der Außenseite der Torfelder ist ein fluchtender Übergang von der Schale zum Anschlußprofil möglich.As such, the connection profiles can be connected to the edge profiles of the gate fields in any suitable way, but it is particularly expedient if the edge profiles have an outwardly open U-shaped cross section and the connection profiles can be clipped into the edge profiles. This means that the connection profiles can be installed in just a few simple steps and there is an aligned one on the outside of the door panels Transition from the shell to the connection profile possible.

Entspricht die Außenkontur der Anschlußprofile im Querschnitt etwa einem Viertelkreis, dessen Radius an die Torfelddicke angepaßt ist und der tangential in die Schalenaußenfläche übergeht, wird im Stoßbereich bei vergleichsweise geringer Profilhöhe eine verhältnismäßig stark gekrümmte Stoßfuge erreicht, die eine einwandfreie Abdichtung erlaubt und von der Außenseite kaum merkbar zwischen den Torfeldern verläuft.Corresponds to the outer contour of the connecting profiles in cross-section approximately a quarter circle, the radius of which is adapted to the thickness of the peat field and which merges tangentially into the outer shell surface, a relatively strongly curved butt joint is achieved in the joint area with a comparatively low profile height, which allows a perfect seal and hardly from the outside runs noticeably between the peat fields.

In der Zeichnung ist ein erfindungsgemäßes Sektionaltor beispielsweise an Hand eines schematischen Vertikalschnittes durch den Stoßbereich zweier benachbarter Torfelder näher veranschaulicht.In the drawing, a sectional door according to the invention is illustrated in more detail, for example, using a schematic vertical section through the joint area of two adjacent gate fields.

Ein Sektionaltor 1 umfaßt mehrere über die Torbreite durchgehende, mit Hilfe nicht weiter dargestellter Scharniere der Höhe nach gelenkig aneinandergereihte Torfelder 2, die jeweils aus einer metallenen Schale 3 und einer Isolierfüllung 4 bestehen, wobei die Schale 3 zumindest im Längenbereich der Torfelder 2 mit tragenden Randprofilen 5 ausgestattet ist. Diese Randprofile 5 besitzen einen auswärts offenen u-förmigen Querschnitt, so daß in die Randprofile 5 eigene Anschlußprofile 6, 7 eingeklipst werden können. Die Anschlußprofile 6, 7 bilden paarweise die Stöße 8 zwischen den Torfeldern 2, wobei die einen Anschlußprofile 6 eine konvexe Außenkontur 9 und die anderen 7 eine konkave Außenkontur 10 aufweisen. Außerdem sind die Anschlußprofile 6 im Bereich der Außenkontur 9 mit Aufnahmen 11, 12 zum Einsatz von Dichtungen 13 und Brandschutzlaminaten 14 ausgestattet.A sectional door 1 comprises a plurality of door panels 2 that are hinged together in height along the door width and are hinged together with the aid of hinges (not shown), each of which consists of a metal shell 3 and an insulating panel 4, the shell 3 having load-bearing edge profiles at least in the length region of the gate panels 2 5 is equipped. These edge profiles 5 have an outwardly open U-shaped cross section, so that 5 own connection profiles 6, 7 can be clipped into the edge profiles. The connecting profiles 6, 7 form the joints 8 in pairs between the gate fields 2, the one connecting profiles 6 having a convex outer contour 9 and the other 7 having a concave outer contour 10. In addition, the connection profiles 6 in the area of the outer contour 9 are equipped with receptacles 11, 12 for the use of seals 13 and fire protection laminates 14.

Die Torfelder 2 mit ihren in den Randprofilen 5 einklipsbaren Anschlußprofilen 6, 7 ermöglichen die rationelle Herstellung eines die Anforderungen an ein feuerhemmendes Tor bzw. ein Brandschutztor voll genügendes Sektionaltor.The gate fields 2 with their connecting profiles 6, 7 which can be clipped into the edge profiles 5 enable the rational production of a sectional door which fully satisfies the requirements for a fire-retardant gate or a fire protection gate.
