Abstract

The rail arrangement has a rail (23) which is formed on, or anchored to, a self- supporting profile beam (11). The latter works in combination with a covering profile (5), which is able to be connected and anchored to the beam on the opposite side from the rail, at least indirectly. The upper and / or lower edges of the profile beam and the covering profile form a groove (39) with a U-shaped cross section. The width of the groove can be preselected by mounting the covering profile in different side positions, relative to the beam. The self-supporting beam is double walled at its middle section, and has a vertical running stem on its top or bottom side at the same height as a stem as an upper or lower stem on the covering profile. In the mounted condition, the two stems come together under formation of th groove lying in between.

Description

The invention relates to a running rail arrangement, in particular for an automatic sliding door with at least one wing according to the preamble of claim 1.

A generic head rail has become known from DE 26 01 728 B2. It comprises a track arrangement for a bath or shower tray partition, the track profile carrier being self-supporting. A cover profile can be attached to the rail on the rail side.

In a corresponding U-shaped cross-section on the upper and lower edge of the slide rail, the edge of a glass pane with a predetermined suitable thickness can be used.

A track arrangement for an automatic sliding door with at least one wing is known from DE 44 00 940 C1. It is a cross-section essentially angled running rail, which is designed as a profile carrier, and on the vertical profile wall section lying underneath on a substantially transversely projecting running rail support section, a cross-sectionally running running rail is formed. The previously known running rail arrangement also has on its upper, essentially horizontally projecting profile support leg a correspondingly oppositely curved, spherical further running rail section, on which a securing roller rolls, which is further offset in height from the other running rollers.

Profile supports of this type are usually permanently mounted on a further support profile attached in the building.

The object of the present invention is to provide an improved track arrangement.

The object is achieved according to the features specified in claim 1. Advantageous embodiments of the invention are specified in the subclaims.

The running track arrangement according to the invention has clear advantages over conventional solutions.

The running track arrangement according to the invention has a self-supporting profile carrier which, for example, only has to be anchored on the opposite end sides of the masonry. A separate attachment of the profile beam to an actual wall-side support beam that supports the rail profile is no longer possible required.

Above all, however, the profiled beam according to the invention has the advantage that corresponding wall sections, i.e. Wall panels, for example in the form of glass walls, wooden panels, etc., can then be mounted on the profile carrier, for which purpose the profile carrier has a U-shaped profile receiving section in cross section on its lower and / or upper side. A glass plate or marble plate to be mounted next to the profile carrier is then mounted so that its edge engages in the corresponding U-shaped profile section.

In order to enable adaptation to different wall thicknesses, for example glass thicknesses, the profile support is at least in its top and bottom connection area, i.e. divided in two in the area of its U-shaped connection profile section, the cover profile and the profile support being mountable at different relative distances transversely to their vertical extension. This allows the width of the U-shaped connecting profile section to be adapted to accommodate different wall thicknesses. This offers advantages above all with regard to the fixed walls provided directly to the side of the door that can be closed by the movable door leaves, for example in the form of glass or in the form of wall cladding in front of the masonry, for example using stone or marble slabs.

In a particularly preferred embodiment, the actual profile carrier is double-walled and preferably a plurality of chambers running in the longitudinal direction of the profile carrier are provided, as a result of which a higher one Stiffness can be achieved.

In a particularly preferred embodiment, the minimum width between the connecting profile webs in the region of the cross-sectionally U-shaped connecting profile is limited by the width of the profile carrier in the central region thereof.

The end or cover profile is preferably plate-shaped or plank-shaped and has a transversely projecting web offset to the upper and / or lower edge towards the center of the profile, which in the assembled state is attached to the double-walled profile section of the actual profile carrier in a different relative position is. As a result, exact positioning of the cover profile in relation to the profile carrier can also be achieved in the vertical direction.

A spacer, for example in the form of an essentially non-elastic insulating material, can be introduced into the spacing space between the profile carrier and the cover profile in adaptation to the different width. This can be self-adhesive on both sides, by means of which the cover profile can be attached indirectly to the actual profile carrier.

The running track arrangement according to the invention also has the further advantage that different cover profiles can be used which are distinguished, for example, by different color designs. In particular, a profile carrier and in particular a cover profile made of aluminum are suitable, which can then be anodized in different colors.

Finally, the profile support according to the invention is also distinguished by the fact that an overhead, essentially horizontally aligned top wall profile can be anchored on its upper side on the door drive side without any problems. This only has to be attached to the profile beam and can be secured with screws without any problems.

Finally, the actual running rail or running surface can be integrally and integrally connected to the running beam on the running rail support section connected to the running beam. However, an essentially U-shaped groove is also possible for receiving an interchangeable or subsequently insertable rail profile. This can be used in a damping material anchored in the track section.

In a particularly preferred embodiment, the rail profile which can be anchored separately on the running rail support section can have a 180 ° rotational symmetry in cross-section, so that after the actual running surface of the running rail has been used, the underside, which is still unused, can be used as running surface by running through 180 °. If the running rail body has a 90 ° rotational symmetry in cross section, there are a total of four running surfaces, depending on the rotation of the running rail body.

a partial cross-sectional view through another rail profile.

In Figure 1, a sliding door with two sliding door leaves 1 is shown in the closed state in a schematic external view. Both sliding doors 1 can be moved in opposite directions to the outside. A running rail arrangement 3 is therefore provided above the sliding door leaf 1, by means of which the two sliding door leaves 1 can be moved on an overhead running rail by means of rollers.

A cover profile 5, which will be explained in detail below, is attached to the running rail arrangement 3 from the outside.

To the left and right of the movable sliding door leaves 1, fixed wall sections 7 are provided in the exemplary embodiment shown, which consist of glass in the exemplary embodiment shown. Above the track assembly 3, i.e. In the exemplary embodiment shown, a wall section 9, which can consist of stone slabs, is provided above the cover profile 5.

With the help of the following figures, the further structure of the running rail arrangement 3 will now be explained, which in particular allows a favorable connection of the wall sections 7 and 9 below and above the running rail arrangement 3.

2 shows in cross section the track arrangement 3 and extracts an upper end profile 1 'of a movable sliding door leaf 1 and an associated drive.

It can be seen from FIG. 2 that the running rail arrangement 3 comprises a profile carrier 11 which, in vertical cross section, has a central profile carrier section 13, which is of double-walled design and transverse to the longitudinal extent of the profile carrier 11. In the exemplary embodiment shown, a plurality of internal transverse webs 15 are formed with the formation of a plurality of chambers 18 running in the longitudinal direction, as a result of which a higher rigidity of the profile beam 11 can be achieved.

On the right in the cross-sectional illustration according to FIG. 2, In other words, as a rule on the inside of the building, a horizontally projecting running rail support section 19 is formed in the central region of the profiled beam 11, on which a receiving groove 21 with a U-shaped cross section is formed, which is inserted into the actual running rail 23. In the exemplary embodiment shown, the running rail 23 is seated in a damping body 25 which is inserted into the receiving groove 21 and which is adapted to an inside of the cross-sectional shape of the running rail 23.

The profile carrier 11 has on its upper and lower side a single-walled web 27, the wall section of which is flush with the inner wall section 13 '. Since in the central region of the rail section support 11 is double-walled and its outer section support wall 13 ″ comes to lie with the upper and lower web 26 with transverse offset, between the rear section support wall 13 ″ and those aligned with the front section support wall 13 ′ Webs 27 a step 29 is formed.

A profiled beam 11 formed in this way can be be anchored on the left and right in the illustration according to FIG. The profile carrier 11 is self-supporting.

The explained profile carrier 1 also cooperates with the cover profile 5, which is designed in the form of a plate or plank.

The cover profile 5 has on its rear side facing the profile carrier 11 an upper and lower transverse web 33. The upper and lower crossbar 33 is provided offset to the upper and lower edge of the cover profile 5 in the longitudinal direction of the cover profile 5 and aligned perpendicular to the plane thereof. In the exemplary embodiment shown, the height of the transverse web 33 corresponds to the height of the step shoulder 29 on the profiled beam 11. The internal vertical distance between the two transverse webs 33 corresponds to the outer distance between the opposing step steps 29 on the profiled beam 11, so that - as shown in FIGS. 2, 3 and 4 is - the cover profile 5 with its upper and lower crosspiece 33 can be pushed onto the double-walled, thickened central profile section 13.

In FIG. 4 it is shown that the cover profile 5 can be pushed onto the profile carrier 11 until the single-walled central wall section of the cover profile 5 in the exemplary embodiment shown lies fully over the outside of the wall section 13 ″ of the profile carrier 11. 2 and 3, it is also shown that, in particular with the interposition of a spacer 35 (which is introduced in the space between the cover profile 5 and between the two crosspieces 33 and the adjacent profile support wall 13 '' of the profile support 11), the cover profile 5 in different relative position transversely to the vertical orientation of the profile beam 11 can be connected to this. The transverse webs 33 always ensure a constant height for the mounting of the cover profile 5 in relation to the profile carrier 11. The spacer 35 can for example consist of a dimensionally stable insulating material, which, for. B. is provided on both sides with an adhesive layer or is designed to be self-adhesive in order to anchor the spacer profile 5 with sandwich-like accommodation of the spacer 35 thus formed on the profile carrier 11.

By the above and below the transverse webs 33 and belonging to the cover profile longitudinal edges or longitudinal webs 37 and the longitudinal webs 27 belonging to the profile beam 11 and laterally offset from the longitudinal webs 37, a cross-section U is delimited by the cross webs 33 or the step shoulder 29 -shaped receiving groove 39 formed.

The glass walls 7 shown in FIG. 1, which laterally delimit the actual passage, can now be mounted so that their upper edge engages in the underlying receiving groove 39 of the guide rail arrangement shown in FIGS. A further wall covering 9 provided above the running rail arrangement 3 can be inserted over the entire width of the running rail arrangement, for example in the form of glass or stone slabs, into the upwardly facing receiving groove 39. To adapt to the different wall thicknesses, the cover profile 5 is pushed onto the profile carrier 11 to different degrees, the aforementioned spacer 35 being able to be used for the preferred stable connection and attachment of the cover profile 5 to the profile carrier 11.

Furthermore, on the upper side of the profile carrier 11 facing the drive (i.e. on the inside) on the upper longitudinal web 27, an angular extension 41 of low height is formed, in which an upper cover profile 43 shown in FIG. 2 is inserted with an opposite holding bracket 45 and can be anchored. Since the cover profile 43 shown in FIG. 1 also has a support leg 47 below the holding bracket 45, this cover profile can thereby 43 can be easily attached and anchored to the profile rail 11. In the anchoring position shown in FIG. 2, the cover profile 43 is held in the desired position by the provided support leg 47, which is supported on the adjacent inner profile wall 13 'of the profile body 13. Secure fastening can be carried out by means of screws 49, which can be screwed into corresponding sliding blocks 51 provided with an internal thread. For this purpose, the at least upper chamber 18 'in the profile support section 13' is provided with an internal longitudinal slot 53, the height of which is smaller than the inner height of this upper chamber 18 '. As a result, the sliding blocks 51, which have a greater height than the slot height, can be inserted into the upper chamber 18 'via the slot 53, firm and permanent mounting of the cover profile 43 on the profile carrier 11 being possible by screwing in the screws 49 without making any bores.

From the exemplary embodiment shown it can also be seen that the drive unit 55 can also be fastened with suitable means via this cover profile 43 which extends over the entire length of the running rail arrangement 3 (which can also consist of several cover profile parts).

For the sake of completeness, it is also noted that FIG. 2 also shows one of at least two brackets 61 arranged one behind the other, via which the upper end profile 1 'of a door leaf 1 to be moved is connected to at least two carriages 63 which are offset in the longitudinal direction of the running rail arrangement and is supported above it. The carriages generally have a plurality of rollers 65 seated one behind the other on that roll on the rail 23 mentioned.

From Figure 2 it can also be seen that to move the sliding door 1 via the drive unit 55, a drive roller 69 can be rotated in opposite directions, via which a rotating toothed belt is moved accordingly, which is firmly connected to a driver 71, which in turn is associated with it Carriage communicates.

Based on Figure 5 it is also shown that other rails 23 can be used. The cross section of the running rail 23 according to FIG. 5 has a 180 ° symmetry with two running rail surfaces, so that the running rail surface in FIG. 5 can be brought up by rotating the running rail 23 by 180 °. Particularly with increased wear, the total service life of the running track can be doubled.

If, in addition to this, the left and right side surfaces of the running rail 23 shown in FIG. 5 are also provided with the corresponding running rail surface profile, the overall service life of the running rail can even be increased by a factor of 4. Irrespective of this, it is also possible to form or connect a running rail 23 in one piece and in one piece to the profile carrier 11.
