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 track arrangement, in particular for an automatic sliding door with at least a wing according to the preamble of claim 1.

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

In a corresponding U-shaped cross-section at the top and lower edge of the track profile carrier can the edge a glass pane with a given suitable thickness become.

A track arrangement for an automatic sliding door with at least one wing is from DE 44 00 940 C1 became known. It is a cross section essentially angular track, which as Profile carrier is formed, and at the vertical Profile wall section lying on one essentially transversely projecting track support section one in cross section spherical track is formed. The previously known Track arrangement also has at its top essentially horizontally protruding profile carrier legs a correspondingly curved in opposite directions another track section on which one in the Height to the other castors further shifted up unrolled securing roller rolls.

Such profile beams are usually on a Structure attached further support profile permanently mounted.

The object of the present invention is one in contrast to create improved track arrangement.

The task is according to the invention in accordance with the claim 1 specified features solved. Advantageous configurations of the invention are in the subclaims specified.

The running track arrangement according to the invention clearly shows Advantages over conventional solutions.

The track arrangement according to the invention has one self-supporting profile carrier, for example only still on the opposite end of the masonry must be anchored. A separate attachment of the Profile carrier on an actual rail profile supporting wall-side support beam is no longer required.

Above all, however, the profile support according to the invention offers the advantage that in the immediate vicinity below and / or corresponding wall sections above the profile beam, i.e. Wall panels, for example in the form of Glass walls, wooden panels etc., to the profile support can be mounted, including the profile carrier on its lower and / or upper side in cross section has a U-shaped profile receiving section. One in Connection to the glass panel to be mounted or marble slab is then mounted so that its edge in engages the corresponding U-shaped profile section.

To be able to adapt to different wall thicknesses, for example, to enable glass thicknesses Profile beam at least in its top and bottom Connection area, i.e. in the area of its U-shaped connecting profile section divided in two, the cover profile and the profile beam in different relative distances can be mounted transversely to their vertical extent. This allows the width of the U-shaped connecting profile section to accommodate different wall thicknesses to adjust. This offers advantages especially in terms of directly to the side of the movable door leaves lockable door provided fixed walls, for example in the form of glass or in the form of before Masonry wall cladding, for example using stone or marble slabs.

In a particularly preferred embodiment, the actual profile beam double-walled and several in the longitudinal direction of the profile carrier are preferred extending chambers provided, resulting in a higher Stiffness can be achieved.

In a particularly preferred embodiment, the minimum width between the connecting profile webs in the area of the U-shaped connection profile in cross section the width of the profile beam in its central area limited.

The end or cover profile is preferably panel or plank-shaped and points to the top and / or lower edge offset to the center of the profile a transversely projecting web, which in the assembled state on the double-walled section of the profile Profile carrier in different relative position is attached. This also makes one in the vertical direction exact positioning of the cover profile in relation to the profile carrier reachable.

In the space between the profile beam and the Cover profile can be adapted to the different Width a spacer, for example in the form of an im essential non-elastic insulation material introduced be. This can be self-adhesive on both sides be what the cover profile on the actual profile carrier can be attached indirectly.

The track arrangement according to the invention also has the Another advantage is that different cover profiles can be used, for example, by distinguish different color designs. Especially a profile carrier and in particular a cover profile is suitable made of aluminum, which then in different Colors can be anodized.

Finally, the profile carrier according to the invention is distinguished also characterized in that on the top of the door drive side easily an overhead one essentially horizontal aligned cover wall profile can be anchored can. This only has to be attached to the profile beam can be secured with screws become.

Finally, can be connected to the profile beam Running track support section the actual running track or Track surface integral and in one piece with the profile carrier be connected. But it is also possible a substantially U-shaped groove for receiving a exchangeable or retrofittable rail profile. This can be done in one in the track section anchored damping material.

In a particularly preferred embodiment, the Rail profile that can be anchored separately on the running rail support section have a 180 ° rotational symmetry in cross section, so that after wear of the actual track surface by rotating the track by 180 ° unused underside used as track surface can be. Has the track body one in cross section 90 ° rotational symmetry, so there is a total four running surfaces, depending on the rotation of the running rail body.

In Figure 1 is a sliding door in a schematic external view with two sliding door leaves 1 in the closed state shown. Both sliding doors 1 can go in opposite directions be moved outside. Above the sliding door leaf 1 is therefore a track arrangement 3 is provided, about what the two sliding door leaves 1 on an overhead Track can be moved using rollers.

A can be seen from the outside on the guide rail arrangement 3 cover profile to be explained in detail below 5 attached.

Left and right of the sliding door leaves 1 are fixed wall sections in the embodiment shown 7 provided in the embodiment shown are made of glass. Above the track arrangement 3, i.e. is shown above the cover profile 5 Embodiment provided a wall section 9, the can consist of stone slabs.

With the help of the following figures, the further one is now Structure of the track assembly 3 explained, the particular a convenient connection of the wall section 7 or 9 allowed below or above the track arrangement 3.

The running track arrangement is in cross section on the basis of FIG 3 and extracts an upper end profile 1 ' a movable sliding door leaf 1 and an associated Drive shown.

From Figure 2 it can be seen that the track assembly 3 comprises a profile beam 11, which is in vertical cross section transversely to the longitudinal extent of the profile beam 11 has a central section section 13 which is double-walled. In the embodiment shown are several internal crossbars 15 below Formation of several chambers running in the longitudinal direction 18 formed, which results in a higher rigidity of the Profile carrier 11 can achieve.

On the right in the cross-sectional illustration according to FIG. 2, i.e. usually inside the building, is in the middle Area of the beam 11 a horizontally protruding Running track support section 19 formed on which a U-shaped receiving groove 21 formed in cross section which is inserted into the actual running rail 23 becomes. In the embodiment shown, the Track 23 in a damping body 25 which in the Receiving groove 21 is inserted, and to an inside the cross-sectional shape of the running rail 23 is adapted.

The profile carrier 11 has on its upper and lower Side on a single-walled web 27, the wall section with the inside wall section 13 ' flees. Because in the middle area of the rail profile beams 11 is double-walled and thus its outer profile support wall 13 '' to the upper and lower web 26 comes to lie with transverse offset, is between the rear profile support wall 13 "and with the front Profile wall 13 'aligned webs 27 a step heel 29 formed.

A profiled beam 11 formed in this way can be in the illustration according to FIG. 1 left and right, for example via a mounting bracket, not shown be anchored to a wall on the building side. The profile carrier 11 is self-supporting.

The explained profile carrier 1 also acts with the cover profile 5 together, which is plate or plank-shaped is designed.

The cover profile 5 has the profile carrier 11 on it facing rear side an upper and lower Cross bar 33 on. The upper and lower crossbar 33 is to the top and bottom of the cover profile 5 offset running in the longitudinal direction of the cover profile 5 and aligned perpendicular to its plane. The The height of the crosspiece 33 corresponds in the exemplary embodiment shown the height of the step heel 29 on the profile beam 11. The internal vertical distance between the two Crosspieces 33 corresponds to the external distance between the opposite step heels 29 on the profile beam 11, so that - as shown in Figure 2, 3 and 4 - the cover profile 5 with its upper and lower crosspiece 33 the double-walled thickened central section section 13 can be postponed.

In Figure 4 it is shown that the cover profile 5 so far the profile carrier 11 can be pushed until the im Embodiment shown single-walled middle wall section of the covering profile 5 over the entire surface of the wall section 13 "of the profile support 11 rests. With the aid of FIGS. 2 and 3 it is also shown that especially with the interposition of a spacer 35 (which in the space between the cover profile 5 and between the two crosspieces 33 and the adjacent profiled girder wall 13 "of the profile beam 11 is introduced) the covering profile 5 transversely in different relative positions for vertical alignment of the profile beam 11 with this is connectable. Through the crossbars 33 is always a constant height for mounting the cover profile 5 based on the profile carrier 11 guaranteed. The spacer 35 can for example consist of a dimensionally stable insulation material, which z. B. on both sides is provided with an adhesive layer or self-adhesive is formed to the distance profile 5 below sandwich-like recording of the spacer thus formed 35 indirectly to anchor to the profile beam 11.

By the remaining above and below the crossbars 33 and longitudinal edges belonging to the cover profile or Longitudinal webs 37 and those belonging to the profile beam 11 and to the longitudinal webs 37 laterally offset longitudinal webs 27 becomes one through the crossbars 33 or the step heel 29 limited, U-shaped receiving groove in cross section 39 formed.

The actual passage shown in Figure 1 laterally delimiting glass walls 7 can now be assembled in this way be that the upper edge of the groove in the bottom 39 of those shown in FIGS. 2 to 4 and from the composite profile carrier 11 and the cover profile 31 engages existing track arrangement. About the entire width of the track arrangement can be one above the track arrangement 3 provided further wall cover 9 for example in the form of glass or stone slabs inserted into the upwardly facing receiving groove 39 become. Adapting to the different wall thicknesses insofar as the cover profile 5 is different pushed far onto the profile carrier 11, the preferred one stable connection and attachment of the cover profile 5 on the profile support 11, the mentioned spacer 35 can be used.

Furthermore, on the profile carrier 11 on the top Actuator lying on the top (inside) Longitudinal web 27, a small in height Angular approach 41 formed in which an upper in Figure 2 shown cover profile 43 with an opposite Bracket 45 can be used and anchored. There the cover profile 43 shown in Figure 1 also below of the bracket 45 one serving for support Has support leg 47, this cover profile 43 easily attached and anchored to the profile rail 11 become. In the anchoring position shown in Figure 2 the cover profile 43 is provided by the Support leg 47 held in the desired position, the itself on the adjacent inner profile wall 13 'of the profile body 13 supports. Secure attachment can by means of screws 49 which are in corresponding with an internal thread provided sliding blocks 51 screwed can be. For this purpose, the at least upper chamber 18 'in the Profile carrier section 13 'with an inside Longitudinal slot 53 provided, the height of which is smaller is as the inner height of this upper chamber 18 '. Thereby can have a greater height than the slot height having sliding blocks 51 via the slot 53 in the Upper chamber 18 'can be used, by turning the screws 49 without making any holes firm and permanent installation of the cover profile 43 on the profile carrier 11 can be performed.

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

For the sake of completeness, it is also noted that that in Figure 2 another one of at least two in a row arranged brackets 61 is shown, what about that upper end profile 1 'of a door leaf to be moved 1 with at least two in the longitudinal direction of the track arrangement staggered carriage 63 in connection stands and is supported above. The carriages point in generally several rollers 65 seated one behind the other on that roll on the rail 23 mentioned.

From Figure 2 it can also be seen that the method the sliding door 1 via the drive unit 55 a Drive roller 69 is rotatable in opposite directions, over which a rotating toothed belt moves accordingly , which is firmly connected to a driver 71, the again in connection with the carriage assigned to it stands.

Based on Figure 5 it is also shown that others Track 23 can be used. The track 23 according to FIG. 5 shows a 180 ° symmetry with two in cross section Track surfaces so that by turning the track 23 by 180 ° the bottom rail surface in Figure 5 can be brought up. Especially at increased wear can affect the overall lifespan of the Running track can be doubled.

Deviating from this, the left as well as the right Side surface of the running rail 23 shown in FIG. 5 also with the corresponding track surface profile provided, so the total life of the track can even be increased by a factor of 4. Regardless of that but it is also possible to have a running rail 23 in one piece and form in one piece with the profile carrier 11 or connect.
