The invention relates to an actuating gear for window and / or door fittings with adjusting and / or locking rods or the like.

• with a housing which can be fastened to the sash or frame, preferably to be placed on the end face thereof,
• with a pinion rotatably mounted in the housing, which is provided with a toothing area over part of its circumference and can be rotated by an operating handle,
• with a tooth piece which is guided in a longitudinally displaceable manner and meshes with the toothing area of the pinion and
• with at least one driver tab protruding from the tooth piece for the actuating and / or locking stands or the like, which projects out of the housing, for example through a slot in a base plate, and
• wherein the housing is designed symmetrically to a transverse plane going through the axis of rotation of the pinion or operating handle - in the longitudinal direction.

Actuators of this type are already widely known and - mainly in connection with light metal and Plastic windows and doors - in practical use.

EP 0 491 133 B1 is a generic actuation gear as known, in which a on the end face of the Wing or frame attachable housing one Operating handle rotatably mounted. The operating handle is connected with a pinion, which over its entire circumference - 360 ° - is provided with a toothing. Two in the case in opposite directions, guided longitudinally and diametrically opposite peripheral sides meshing with the pinion Tooth pieces each have one protruding from the back and one Slot in a base plate detachably connected to the housing outstanding driver tabs, which with a positioning and / or Locking rods can be coupled. To convert enable the direction of stop of this actuating gear, are the tooth pieces to a one laid by their driving lobes Transverse plane designed symmetrically and can be optionally in two relative to each other relative to the transverse plane of the housing insert longitudinally offset layers into the housing without twisting and couple with the pinion gear via their teeth. Actuators of this type are used to drive two mutually oppositely movable actuating and / or Locking rods used.

The maximum achievable stroke that the actuating and / or Locking rod can produce, is naturally by determines the pitch circle diameter of the pinion. It is from Disadvantage that for a large stroke of the pinion diameter and so that the housing dimensions are increased accordingly have to.

The main object of the invention is therefore for actuating gear the genus specified at the beginning with minimized Gear dimensions to generate a maximum stroke.

It is often the same with conventional actuating gearboxes disadvantageous if the achievable actuating force on the actuating and / or Locking linkage across the entire switching path stays the same. For certain switching positions, e.g. indenting in the locked position, however, it is desirable to have one achieve higher actuation force to reduce the frictional resistance overcome the interacting locking elements more easily to be able to.

The invention is therefore also based on the object Actuate transmission with a large stroke so that in that Angle of rotation range of the operating hand lever with strong transfer the greatest possible operating force to mechanical loads can be.

Windows, doors or the like, which deal with a generic Have actuating gear equipped, for example the brochure "GU parallel sliding and tilting fitting G.U.-966 for doors and windows made of wood ". There is for one sliding wing that is initially perpendicular to the opening Level of the frame can be lifted off this and then parallel to the frame level behind an adjacent sash or a fixed field is movable, an actuating gear used, which is placed on the end face of the wing and drives a fitting arranged in the sash rebate, which with upper display devices is connected. With a 90 ° turn the twist grip turns the wing into a locked one Tilt position transferred, the upper flap the Forcibly shut down the sash. To open the wing fully, can the lower wing fixation by a further rotation of the Operating lever by approx. 40 °. The wing can now too issued in parallel at its lower end and then be moved laterally. The operating handle is over a Spring system automatically returned to the 90 ° position and then remains in a horizontal position.

It is unsatisfactory that with such actuators not the vast majority of Espagnolette fittings common 180 ° rotation of the Operating lever is possible. Another disadvantage is that for windows and doors with to the right or to the left sliding wings each have a special operating gear is required. This results in a considerable one Manufacturing and storage expenses.

It is therefore a further object of the invention, the known Actuating gearbox to improve that in addition to a The smallest possible size and a large stroke are universal Can be used for both right and left wings Offer.

DE 91 12 079 U1 is an actuating gear for longitudinally movable connecting rods on fittings of windows and Doors or the like. Become known that works as a large-stroke gearbox and the operating handle can be swiveled through 180 °. At a special translation mechanism makes him one for the Dimensions of the gearbox produces a relatively large stroke. This gearbox is intended for installation in the sash rebate requires chiseling or milling work to form a Carrying pocket on the wing for inserting the gearbox.

Fig. 1 shows a purely schematic representation Embodiment of an actuating gear 1, with its Housing 2 is attached to the end face 3 of a wing 4. The actuating gear 1 has at least two Switch positions. Are in the illustrated embodiment a closed position A, a first open position B, e.g. a tilt position and a second open position C, for example a turning or sliding position for the wing 4 provided, which is set by an operating handle 5 can be. In the closed position A, the wing 4 by means of locking parts, which are adjusted and / or Locking rods are movable, firmly with the - not shown - frame connected. For the tilt position (Open position B) these latch parts are released, then the wing 4 about a horizontal axis at its lower end can be tilted. The open position C allows the illustrated embodiment, for example, the wing 4th altogether parallel to yourself from the frame and in to shift this parking level sideways.

In Fig. 2 it can be seen that the housing 2 of the Actuating gear 1 is box-shaped and of one Cover cap 6 is surrounded on all sides. The cover cap 6 on the housing 2 by - not shown - snap-in connections being held. The operating handle 5 is e.g. rotated in the housing 2 by an angle of 180 °. His Axis of rotation 7 extends axially through a drive pin 8 the inside of the housing 2 a pinion 9 with a complementary to the cross-sectional shape of the drive mandrel 8 receptacle 9a is also axially aligned. The pinion 9 has one Gear region 10, which with a gear region 11 a combs in the housing 2 longitudinally movable tooth piece 12.

The toothed area 10 of the pinion 9 extends at example shown over an angular range of less than 180 °, e.g. over 115 ° and is at one end 13 with a tooth 14 equipped, one compared to the other teeth 15 - in this representation not visible - larger tooth width 14a having. At the other end 16 of the toothing area 10 is a Tooth 17 is provided, the pitch circle diameter 18 is smaller than the pitch circle diameter 19 of the remaining teeth 14, 15. The Tooth 17 has the same tooth thickness as teeth 15.

The toothed piece 12 has one to the plane of rotation of the pinion 9 parallel and its toothing area 11 on the head side towering boom 20. This contains a section or a groove 21 with which the - not visible here - over the flat surface of the pinion 9 projecting section 27 of Tooth 14 cooperates.

The operation of such an actuating gear 1 explained below with reference to FIGS. 3a to 3d, where better overview of all not immediately needed Gear components were omitted.

3a shows the actuating gear 1 in the closed position A, in which the pinion 9 meshes the tooth piece 12 with its tooth 17. Since the pitch circle diameter 18 of the tooth 17 is dimensioned smaller as the pitch circle diameter 19 of the remaining teeth 15 results for the power transmission in this position a cheaper one Relationship. In the present case, this fact is used, in the switching direction to the closed position of the actuating and / or Locking linkage, the locking elements under a positive increase in engagement with each other bring. By shortening the lever arm from Pitch circle diameter 19 becomes a pitch circle diameter 18 naturally transfer higher torque, albeit that from it resulting stroke of the tooth piece 12 is smaller.

If the actuating gear 1 from the closed position A in the Tilt position B transferred, the engagement position results according to Fig. 3b. The tooth piece 12 is around the stroke 25 from its previous one Location shifted. The tooth 14, which has the larger tooth width 14a is with its over the flat surface of the pinion 9th projecting section 27 in the cutout or the groove 21 of the Boom 20 immersed and is almost in the embodiment on the right guide contour 26 of the cutout or the groove 21 on.

In Fig. 3c, an intermediate position is shown, the reveals that the tooth 14 is also fully in the Interlocking area 11 of the tooth piece 12 engages. Since the Cutout or the groove 21 into the toothing area 11 of the Tooth piece 12 extends into it, so that tooth 14 comes over his larger tooth width 14a completely with the tooth piece 12 in Intervention.

If the operating gear 1 by the operating handle 5th rotated still further, so that one compared to the starting position The end position is swiveled 180 °, then the tooth moves 14, as FIG. 3d clearly shows, from the toothing area 11 of the Tooth piece 12 out and slides with his on the bottom of the pinion 9 above its flat surface projecting section 27 along the right guide contour 26 of the cutout or Groove 21 in the bracket 20. This will the tooth piece 12 by one additional stroke 29 moves, although the tooth 14 no longer meshes with the toothing region 11 of the tooth piece 12, but out of this.

In a 180 ° with respect to the starting position according to FIG. 3a pivoted end position of the pinion 9 is the tooth 14 and thus also its protruding section 7 almost on a right angle extending to the guide contour 26 and both the axis of rotation 7 of the Operating handle 5 or pinion 9 and the longitudinal edge 20a of the boom 20 intersecting line.

This ensures that the tooth piece 12 relative to the Pinion 9 cannot be moved from right to left. The would be, for example, by indirectly on the control and / or Locking forces attacking forces possible, the indirect act on the tooth piece 12.

By the interaction of the with the larger tooth width 14a equipped tooth 14 over its projecting portion 27th with the guide contour 26 of the boom 20 is a permanent Engagement of the pinion 9 in the tooth piece 12 ensures, although the Gear area 10 of the pinion 9 is only one Angle range extends, which is not significantly larger than 90 ° is, e.g. B. is 115 °.

A special feature of the illustrated embodiment of the Guide contour 26 of the cutout or of the groove 21 in the arm 20 it is that they are over a certain angular range 30 forms an arc 31, and that the center 31a of this Circular arc 31 in the open position C shown in Fig. 3d of the actuating and / or locking linkage with the axis of rotation 7 of the pinion 8 is aligned.

When actuating the actuating gear 1 in reverse The projecting section 27 of the tooth initially slides in the direction 14 without moving the tooth piece 12 from right to left cause along the guide contour 26 until it hits a wall 32 strikes which the cutout or the groove 21 on the Guide contour 26 opposite left side limited. As soon as the projecting section 27 of the tooth 14 with the wall 32 comes into contact, the tooth piece 12 is carried until the Tooth areas 10, 11 come fully into engagement again.

The guide contour 26 adjoins a tooth flank in the Tooth area 11 of the tooth piece 12 over a circular arc section 28, the one opposite to the circular arc 31 Has curvature. This results in a slightly S-shaped curve Course of the entire guide contour 26, which has good sliding thrust kinematics has the consequence.

4 and 5 show the actuating gear 1 in each case a bottom view for right or left hinging, the Housing 2 closing base plate is not shown.

In order to be able to adapt one and the same actuation gear 1 to the two different stop situations, for example in the case of a sliding sash which is positioned parallel to the left sash which is shifted to the right or for right sash which is shifted to the left, special precautions have been taken. This is because the pinion 9 can be pulled axially out of the position 36 according to FIG. 4 from the drive mandrel 8, which is at least partially formed as a square 35, and plugged back together with the drive mandrel 8 in a position 36 ' according to FIG. 5 which is turned through 180.degree , or be reinserted in the housing 2. In order to remove the pinion 9 from the housing 2, it is also necessary to remove the toothed piece 12 together with the pinion 9. For this purpose, the middle switching position (tilt position B) is expediently set on the operating lever 5.

The tooth piece 12 as can be seen from FIGS. 3a to 3d, too a central transverse plane 37-37 symmetrical and has one on both sides of this transverse plane 37-37 in the boom 20 Cutout or a groove 21 (a) or 21 (b) with one projecting portions 27 of the tooth 14 associated Guide contour 26 on.

It is also important that the pinion 9 according to FIGS. 7 and 8 a total of 38-38 with respect to its rotational center plane is performed in mirror image and in the area of the tooth 14 Section 27 (a) and (b) each of the two plane surfaces (100 (a) and 100 (b) of the pinion 9 protrudes.

The housing 2 is with respect to a transverse plane 39-39 the center plane of rotation leads, designed symmetrically.

The use of the drive mandrel 8 designed as a square 35 allows a non-rotatable, but detachable positive Plug connection with the pinion 9.

3a to 3d are the pinion 9 and the toothed piece 12 with each other for an actuating gear 1 in actuating engagement brought, as shown in Fig. 4 in the bottom view and for Right stop on the wing is suitable (see Fig. 1).

Should the actuating gear 1 be converted or assembled in this way be that with the from the bottom view of FIG .. 5 apparent arrangement of the gear links for left stop is suitable, then pinion 9 and tooth piece 12 must be so brought together that they in Figs. 3a to 3d corresponding switch positions with each other one for this purpose have a mirror-image engagement position. This is because of that characterized in that not the over the flat surface 100 (a) of the Pinion 9 protruding portion 27 (a) of the tooth 14 with the Cutout or groove 21 (a) of the bracket 20 cooperates, rather, the one over the face surface 100 (b) of the pinion protruding cutout 27 (b) of the tooth 14 with the cutout or the groove 21 (b) of the bracket 20 corresponds.

By axially pulling the pinion 9 from the square 35 of the Drive mandrel 8 and removing the tooth piece 12 from the Housing 2 can regroup the two functional parts (Pinion 9 and tooth piece 12) to each other outside the housing 2 can be made easily.

As can be seen from Fig. 1, several z. B. three Switch positions A, B, C of the actuating gear 1 possible. Around an operator reaching each of these switch positions A, B, C at least to signal is intended, special To use locking means 40. These locking means 40 can, like FIG. 8 shows in a handle neck 42 of the operating handle 5 are housed and with recesses 41 on the housing 2nd work together. By the number and distribution of Remaining recesses 41 are the different switching positions A, B, C of the control and / or locking linkage marked.

For fastening the actuating gear 1 with its housing 2 on the end face of a window or door leaf 4, fastening elements penetrate through bores 45 in the housing cover 46. These through bores 45 are accessible when the cover cap 6 is removed from the housing 2. The through bores 45 are each provided in pairs on a plurality of planes 48, 48 ′ , 48 ″ , which are offset laterally from one another and parallel to a longitudinal axis 47 of the housing 2, one of which, for example plane 48 ″, coincides with the axis of rotation 7 of the operating handle 5 and the pinion 9 going longitudinal plane 47 of the housing 2 can coincide.

As can be seen in FIGS. 6a, 6b and 6c, the equipment of the housing 2 with several pairs of through bores 45 for fastening elements 54 located on mutually offset planes 48, 48 ' , 48 '' results from the different installation conditions on different wing profiles 50 .

6a shows e.g. B. the installation situation for a plastic hollow profile 51 with a metal reinforcing profile 52 seated in the plastic hollow profile 51. The plastic hollow profile 51 has an undercut fitting groove 53 receiving the actuating and / or locking linkage. According to FIG. 6 a, fastening elements 54 penetrate the through bores 45 lying on the plane 48 ′ and fasten the housing 2 of the actuating gear 1 on the end face 3 of the hollow plastic profile 51 by anchoring them in the metal reinforcing profile 52.

In the embodiment shown in FIG. 6b, the plastic hollow profile 51 is also stiffened with a reinforcement profile 52, but this does not extend along the profile wall forming the rear face 3. Here, the attachment of fastening elements 54 on the plane 48 'can be difficult because a profile web 56 abuts the profile wall having the end face 3 perpendicularly on this plane 48'. According to FIG. 6b, the fastening elements 54 are therefore introduced on one of the other levels 48 or 48 ″ . However, it is also possible, for. B. with large forces to be transmitted from the actuating gear 1, fasteners 54 on several levels (48 and 48 '' ) at the same time. This ensures a permanently secure hold of the actuating gear 1 on the end face 3 of the wing profile 50.

6c, the actuating gear 1 is attached to the end face 3 of a wing profile 50 made of wood or other solid material. There it can be seen that each of the three levels 48, 48 ' , 48 '' would be possible for the attachment of fastening elements 54, although their arrangement there is only shown on level 48 ' .

It can also be seen in Fig. 6c that the for transmission the translational generated by the actuating gear 1 Movement to the actuating and / or locking linkage 62 serving driver 61 of the tooth piece 12 through a longitudinal slot of the wing profile 50, for. B. in the range of Wing flap 55, reaches through.

7 shows a cross section through the actuating gear 1. His operating handle 5 has one in his handle neck 42 recess 66 formed complementarily to the drive mandrel 8, in which the drive mandrel 8 sits positively. At the end of 67 Handle neck 42 is, for example, by a riveting process fixed ring 68 attached to its outer circumference Locking recesses 41 carries. The handle neck 42 is in a bore 69, which penetrates an approach 70, rotatably mounted. Through the Arrangement of the ring 68 and the design of the bore 69 is the Operating handle 5 rotatable, but axially immovable with the Housing 2 connected. The pinion 9 is seated on the drive mandrel 8, which meshes with the tooth piece 12 by toothing.

The drive mandrel 8 can at its free end 75 with a cylindrical pin 76 are provided, almost a seat 77 of the pinion 9 is enough. The cylindrical pin 76 protrudes into complementary shaped bearing hole 78 of the housing 2 closing bottom plate 79 into it.

This ensures that the relatively high side forces, that arise with gear connections of the type described above can safely intercept. The one stored as a double Shaft acting drive mandrel 8 is thereby before deformation protected.

The largest possible receptacle 80 around the cylindrical pin 76 to offer, is on the base plate 79 made of sheet metal inward stop 81 formed.

Fig. 8 shows on a larger scale a cross section of the Actuating gear 1 through the handle neck 42 and the housing 2 along the section line VIII-VIII in FIG. 2.

Here, the locking means 40 consists of a parallel to the axis of rotation 7 directed compression spring 90 which acts on a ball 91. The different switching positions of the operating handle 5 are separated by four each at a 90 ° angle Locking recesses 41 on the flat surface 92 of the extension 70 marked. Moves in each of the four possible recesses 41 the spring 91 ball partially into the Locking recess 41 and causes a clear for the user noticeable rest.

8, the connection of the Operating handle 5 with the housing 2 by one in one circumferential groove 93 of the handle neck 65 locking ring 94 accomplished. The snap ring 94 is a washer 95 upstream, which is larger with its outer dimensions than that in Approach 70 introduced bore 69. The flat surface 92 is from a plate 96 covering the end face 92 closable material formed, the rotationally z. B. by a protruding from neck 92 and into the bottom of a Locking recess 41 projecting pin 97 is held.

It can also be seen in Fig. 8 that the tooth 14 is a larger one Teeth width than the other teeth of the pinion 9 has. Therefore section 27 (a) and (b) projects above each of the two Flat surfaces 100 (a) and (b) of the pinion 9 in front.

8 also shows that the Tooth piece 12 in a U-shaped guide 101 of the housing 2 is kept longitudinally displaceable. The boom 20 understands that Pinion 9 on the underside of the housing 2 above the Base plate 79. It can also be clearly seen that the pinion 9 has a Seat 77 has a thickness 102 greater than the pinion thickness can. This ensures that the pinion 9 effortlessly over the cylindrical pin 76 is pushed onto the drive mandrel 8 can be, if the pin 76 slightly smaller in diameter is measured as the side distance on the square trained drive mandrel 8. The bottom plate 79 closes the Housing, whereby not only fixing pin 103 of the housing 2, but also a coupling driver through appropriate holes 104 of the tooth piece 12 through a slot 105 this protrude through.

The fixing pins 103 fit into holes in the Wing profile and serve to secure the position of the Actuating gear 1 on the end face of the wing 4 its assembly and later operation. Usually the Holes and that of the clutch driver 104 penetrated - seen from Fig. 6c - longitudinal slots 60th brought in by means of combined drilling and milling templates to ensure a clear mutual allocation.

The assignments shown in the exemplary embodiments of Toothed areas 10, 11 of the pinion 9 and the tooth piece 12 and one with a larger 15 compared to the other teeth Tooth width 14a equipped tooth 14 to each other can of course also be chosen differently, if special, at a specific switching position, tasks performed Need to become. This can be the case, for example, if particularly high switching forces or special Intermediate switch positions bound lifting movements on the actuating and / or Locking linkage should be transmitted.

The application of one, as in the exemplary embodiments illustrated, actuating gear can on any window or Door fittings were made.

However, there are special advantages when using the Actuator on doors or windows according to the Fig. 9a to 11b.

9a to 11b of the drawing each show a balcony or Patio door, which in a fixed frame 110 has fixedly mounted wings or a fixed door field 111 and which is also equipped with a movable wing 4.

The movable wing 4 can be relative to the fixed Frame 110 and to the fixed wing or door panel 111 the closed position indicated in FIGS. 9a and 9b on the one hand in the tilt opening position are brought, as shown in Fig. 10a and 10b can be seen. He can be compared to the fixed Frame 110 and the fixed wing or fixed door panel 111 but also in a parallel position bring and then from the area of the through hole 112 of the fixed frame 110 in the horizontal direction in front of the fixed move the built-in sash or the fixed door panel 111 as 11a and 11b can be seen.

So that these three positions of the wing 4 relative to fixed frame 110 and to the fixed wing or to the door panel 111 are possible between the wing 4 and the fixed frame 110 a special fitting arrangement, namely a so-called tilt-parallel parking sliding fitting provided, of the or in FIGS. 9a to 11b of the For the sake of simplicity, only the actuating gear 1 on the wing 4 as well as the upper display device 113 and the lower one Display device 114 between wing 4 and fixed Frame 110 are hinted at.

The upper display device 113 and the lower one Display device 114 can be kinematically similar to one another be interpreted. But you can also fundamentally different Receive refinements.

The upper opening device 113 must ensure that that their articulation points in a horizontal Sliding guide 115 on the upper cross member of the fixed frame 110 constantly intervene and a synchronous movement of their Extension arms is secured.

The lower opening device 114 is in any case interpret that the weight of the movable wing 4 safely carries while she is running with a running rail 116 on the lower cross member of the fixed frame 110 cooperates.

The actuating gear 1 drives this - not visible here Actuator and / or locking linkage 62, which in the Locked position A according to FIGS. 9a and 9b with in the frame fold 117 fixed locking elements 118 - as in Fig. 11a recognize - interacts. If the wing 4 in the 10a and 10b are transferred the actuating gear 1 in the corresponding switch position B. brought according to Fig. 10a and 10b. About the positioning and / or Locking linkage 62 become the upper display devices 113 actuates and cause the wing 4 to be lowered from the frame 110. The lower horizontal end of wing 4 is through - here invisible - locking elements in this switch position held on frame 110.

If the wing 4 from the open position B in the Open position C, here parallel storage position, transferred by the Operating gear 1 in the illustrated embodiment these locks are also operated 90 ° solved and the wing 4 can at its lower horizontal end now also turned off and then moved sideways become.

To forcibly turn off the wing 4 from the Closed position A in the open position B or vice versa Pulling it into the closed position A to achieve special display devices 113 are necessary, which with the from the actuating gear 1 from controllable actuating and / or Locking linkage 62 are connected. About the exhibition movement each of the top and possibly even the bottom On the one hand, it is possible to control opening devices 113 large movement forces and on the other hand large lifting movements of the Actuator and / or locking linkage 62 necessary by the actuating gear 1 are generated.

It can also be derived from FIGS. 9a, 10a and 11a that for one Wing 4, one of the illustrated in the embodiment Opening direction (to the right) opposite opening direction (to the left), the actuating gear 1 also opposite installation direction must receive.

As can already be seen from FIGS. 4 and 5, this can be achieved are removed by first removing the base plate 79 from the housing 2, then the pinion 9 and the tooth piece 12 are removed from the housing 2 and after turning and moving the pinion 9 together again be used. Finally, the bottom plate 79 reassembled.

In this context, interpretation is of particular importance as switchable by 180 ° actuating gear 1.
