Definitions
- the present invention refers to a sliding door according to the preamble of claim 1.
- Sliding doors of the general type outlined above are used in many different applications in and on. buildings and premises of the most varied nature, their purpose being to form entrances to and exits from for instance shopping markets and commercial centres, shops, offices, stair openings and the like and/or to serve as passages-through in e.g. corridors, underground walkways, and the like.
- US-A-2 485 296 discloses a sliding door essentially according to the preamble of claim 1.
- the gasket comprises on the other hand a further metal profile section comprising a flange that is arranged, upon closing of the door, to be moved into fire-resisting and sealing abutment against the side walls of the outwardly open, essentially U-shaped channel of the strip seal.
- the subject-matter of claim 1 differs from the sliding door known from US-A-2 485 296 in that the further metal profile section is of an essentially U-shaped configuration comprising a further metal profile section web portion and two further metal profile section flanges.
- the further metal section profile flanges are connected, by means of their two free ends, to the front edge of the second door leaf.
- DE 26 25 270A discloses a folding door with a gasket between the meeting front edges of the door leaves providing the through-passage opening.
- the gasket comprises on the one hand a strip seal according to the preamble of claim 1.
- a metal profile section of an essentially U-shaped configuration is provided, comprising a metal profile section web portion and two metal profile section flanges. The metal section profile flanges are connected, by means of their two free ends, to the front edge of the second door leaf.
- the main object of the present invention is to provide a sliding door according to the preamble of claim 1, which door is sufficiently fire-resistant to be classified as being of fire resistance class.
- a further object of the present invention is to provide a sliding door, in which the strip seal is maximally protected against the effects of fire.
- the principal components of the sliding door in accordance with the invention are a door frame 2 and two door leaves 3 and 4.
- Each of the frame 2 and the door leaves 3, 4 comprises essentially vertical and horizontal interconnected metal profile sections 5 of steel or other fire-resistant material, and surface elements 6 enclosed/framed by said metal sections 5.
- the surface elements 6 consist of fire-retardant sheets of glass having a thickness of 21 mm, for instance PYROSTOP® glass.
- the fire-retardant glass sheets could of course be thicker or thinner than 21 mm, as required or requested.
- the fire-retardant glass sheets forming the surface elements 6 at least some of them could consist of sheet metal plates or panels of other fire-resistant material.
- fire-retardant glass sheets When fire-retardant glass sheets are used as the surface elements 6 they are mounted in the frame 2 and the respective door leaves 3 and 4 by means of glazing beads 7 which are secured to their associated metal profile section 5 by means of fasteners, such as fastening screws 8. It should be appreciated that the glazing beads 7 could be mounted on the metal profile sections 5 in other ways than by means of fasteners, such as by welding, glueing or the like.
- the fire-retardant glass sheets 6 are also secured with the aid of bottom and top seals 9 and 10 of a fire-resistant material, preferably a sealing compound of silicone or the like which is difficult to ignite.
- Intermediate the bottom and top seals 9 and 10 glazing strips 11 are provided, also of a fire-resistant material.
- the door leaves 3 and 4 are suspended in alignment from the door frame 2 in such a manner as to be displaceable forwards and backwards by means of a sliding door opener, generally designated by numeral reference 12 and not described in closer detail herein. More precisely, the door leaves 3, 4 are displaceable forwards and backwards betweeen a closed position C, see Fig. 4, wherein their essentially vertical opposed front edges 13 and 14 abut against each other via a gasket generally designated by 15 to be described in more detail in the following, serving to seal a through-traffic opening 16 in the frame 2, and an open position D, see Fig. 5, to allow passage-through through the opening 16.
- the gasket 15, see Figs 4 and 4A comprises at least one essentially vertical strip seal 17 of essentially U-shaped configuration, the web portion 18 of which is connnected to the front edge 13 of one 3 of the door leaves while the two flanges 19 of the seal are directed outwards, towards the front edge 14 of the opposite door leaf 4, the free ends 20 of said flanges arranged, upon closing of the door leaves 3 and 4, to be moved into fire-resisting and sealing abutment against the front edge 14 of said opposite one 4 of the door leaves.
- the strip seal 17 is made from a material which is well adapted for its purpose, such as e.g. chloroprene rubber or the like.
- a longitudinal groove 21 is formed in the web portion 18 of the strip seal 17 for reception therein of at least one elongate support 22, in this case preferably in the shape of a flat bar of steel, and fasteners, not shown, such as e.g. screws, pop rivets or the like, may be inserted through holes, not either shown, formed in the support 22 and through the part of the web portion 18 that is turned towards the associated front edge 13 so as to be secured to said front edge in order to fasten the strip thereto.
- fasteners not shown, such as e.g. screws, pop rivets or the like
- the gasket 15 also comprises at least one metal profile section 24, see Figs 4, 4A and 5, preferably made from steel or other fire-resistant material.
- the metal profile section 24 has an essentially U-shaped configuration, the two flanges 25 of which are connected, by means of their two free ends 26, to the front edge 14 of the other door leaf 4 opposite the strip seal 17 and the web portion of which 27 is arranged, upon closing of the door leaves, to be moved together with the flanges 25 into fire-resisting and sealing abutment against the side walls 28 of the outwardly open, essentially U-shaped channel 29 of the strip seal 17, which channel 29 is delimited by the web portion 18 and the flanges 19 of the seal 17.
- the free ends 26 of the flanges 25 of the metal profile section 24 are connected to the front edge 14 of the associate door leaf 4, e.g. by tack welding or the like or by means of suitable fasteners, not shown.
- At least two protective flanges 30 are provided, said protective flanges projecting towards the front edge 14 of the opposite door leaf 4 and preferably they are made from steel and suitably formed integrally with the associated metal profile section 5.
- the strip seal 17 is placed between these protective flanges 30, said protective flanges 30, as appears from Figs 4 and 5, resting on the external faces of the outwardly directed flanges 19 of the strip seal 17 in order to protect as far as possible the strip seal 17 against the effects of fire.
- the protective flanges 30 preferably are arranged to project from the associated front edge 13 by a distance E which is only slightly shorter, say by about 1 mm, than the height F of the strip seal 17.
- a gap sealing member 33 is provided in the gap G between the facing sides 31, 32 of the frame 2 and the door leaves 3, 4, respectively, see Figs 3, 3A, 4 4B, said member sealing the gap G in the closed position C in a fire-resisting manner to be described in closer detail below.
- the gap sealing member 33 comprises at least one vertical strip seal 34, see Figs 4 and 4B, which like the strip seal 17 of the gasket 15 could be made from chloropene rubber or a similar material.
- the strip seal 34 has a generally U-shaped configuration, and in a manner to be described in more detail in the following the web portion 35 of the U-shaped seal is joined to the side 32 of the respective door leaf 3, 4 that is turned towards the frame 2, in the area adjacent the rear edge 36 of the respective door leaf, whereas the two flanges 37 of the seal are directed towards the frame, their free ends 38 sealingly abutting against the frame 2 in the closed position C of the door leaves 3, 4.
- the gap seal 33 comprises at least one further vertical strip seal 39, see Fig. 4B, which like the strip seals 17 and 34 may be made from chloropene rubber or a similar material.
- strip seal 39 has an essentially U-shaped configuration the web portion 40 of which is connected to the side 31 of the frame 2 that is turned towards the respective door leaf 3, 4, in the area of the opening 16 in the frame 2, whereas the two flanges 41 of the seal are directed towards the corresponding door leaf 3, 4, their free ends 42, in the closed position of the door leaves 3, 4, sealingly abutting against the corresponding door leaf in the area adjacent the rear edge thereof and interiorly of the strip seal 34 of the corresponding door leaf 3, 4 as seen in the closing direction.
- the gap seal 33 also comprises, in accordance with the shown and described embodiment, a horizontal strip seal 43, see Figs 3 and 3A, also preferably made from chloropene rubber.
- the strip seal 43 essentially is of U-shaped configuration including a web portion 44 which is connected to the side 32 of the respective door leaf 3, 4 that is turned towards the frame 2, in the area adjacent the upper edge 45 of the respective door leaf, whereas the two flanges 46 of the seal are directed towards the frame, their the free ends 47 sealingly abutting against the frame 2 in the closed position C of the door leaves 3, 4.
- a horizontal strip seal 48 likewise preferably of chloropene rubber, is provided.
- this strip seal has an essentially U-shaped configuration, its web portion 49 being connected to the side 31 of the frame 2 that is turned towards the respective door leaf 3, 4 in the area adjacent and above the opening 16 in the frame 2, whereas its two flanges 50 are directed towards the respective door leaf 3, 4, the free ends 51 of of the flanges, in the closed position C of the door leaves 3, 4, sealingly abutting against the corresponding door leaf 3, 4 in the area adjacent the upper edge 45 thereof and below the strip seal 43 connected to the respective door leaf.
- an elongate support 55 is provided in accordance with the referred embodiment on the bottom of the outwardly open, essentially U-shaped channel 54 delimited by the web portions 35, 40, 44, 49 and the flanges 37, 41, 46, 50 of the respective strip seals 34, 39, 43, and 48, said support 55 preferably being in the form of a fire-resistant flat metal bar, preferably of steel.
- Fasteners such as e.g. screws, pop rivets or the like, may be inserted through holes, not either shown, formed in the supports and the web portions 35, 40, 44, 49, respectively, for secure attachment to the respective door leaf 3, 4 and to the frame 2.
- At least one of the gap strip seals 34, 39, 43, 48 on the respective door leaf 3, 4 and the frame 2 - in accordance with the shown and described embodiment the vertical gap strip seals 34 on the door leaves 3, 4, see Fig. 4B - has a fire strip 56 associated therewith, for example of type INTUMEX® L which is a fire-expandable silicone strip seal.
- the fire strip seal or seals 56 expand(s) when exposed to fire after closing of the door leaves 3, 4 in response to the sounding of a fire alarm, in order to prevent fire, smoke and hot gases from spreading by way of the gap G.
- a fire strip 59 corresponding to strip 56 may be provided along the lower edges of each door leaves 3, 4, see Fig.
- this fire strip 56 is arranged to expand upon fire exposure of the closed doors 3, 4 in order to prevent fire smoke and hot gases from spreading by way of the bottom gap I between the support or floor 60 and the respective lower edges 57.
- the invention must not be regarded as limited to the above described embodiments illustrated in the drawing figures but that it may be modified in a variety of different ways within the scope of the claimed protection.
- the number of door leaves 3, 4 obviously could be increased or lowered and for example amount to four door leaves interconnected in pairs, in case the opening 16 in the frame 2 is very large.
- an arrangement comprising two pairs of door leaves positioned in parallel juxtaposed relationship and opening and closing in synchrony or with some delay with respect to one pair, is likewise conceivable.
- the number of strip seals may vary, as may also their positions and shapes, which is, of course, equally true as regards the fire-expandable fire strips 56 and 59.
