Description

Frameless glass door with frameless side panel

description

The invention relates to a frameless glass door, which is equipped with a frameless side part, and which are each provided with two parallel spaced glass panes and each with a circumferential spacing profile on the outside, which tightly encloses the air gap and the spacing profile to the outer edges of the two Has panes of open space for installing fittings and at least one intermediate piece is present on each longitudinal side between the respective two glass panes, on which strips, a lock, lock counter case and a side part locking / unlocking mechanism are concealed by an inlet piece and are used within the free spaces

The frameless glass door known from German patent 44 00 196 is characterized by excellent sound and heat insulation properties, since it is in particular possible to fill the interior between the two panes with dry air. The area of the frame of the fittings, the door lock and / or the like can be visually veneered, so that the door also has a very good visual appearance in this edge region. Furthermore, the doors can be designed in various ways with regard to the glass panes, in particular decorations and patterns can be applied, it is also possible to design the door panes so that the door is translucent but opaque

The door is usually constructed so that the inner pane is somewhat larger than the outer pane, so that the structure and dimensions are the same as for a conventional door leaf with rebate. The glass door can thus can be used in connection with commercially available door frames. It is common for the pane of the glass door facing the interior of the room to be larger than the pane facing outwards, since the larger pane on the inside can carry the fittings, the door lock and / or the like If the inner larger pane is damaged, a condition arises in which the outer smaller pane is no longer held by the fittings, door locks and / or the like. The pane can thus get into an uncontrolled state and possibly even fall over. This can lead to undesirable side effects lead to body damage

DE 36 33 618 C2 describes frameless glazing for walls in which the spaced glass panes have no frame parts on the outside. However, a profile is attached behind one of the two spaced insulating glass panes by means of an adhesive

DE 40 29 497 A1 describes a spring-operated hinge which tensions a spring when the door is opened and thereby supports the subsequent closing process. The hinge is constructed in such a way that a hinge bracket is provided in which the hinge tab is rotatably supported by a hinge pin suitable to be embedded in a cutout, for example a profile or a wooden door

Another hinge arrangement for self-closing doors is given again by DE 40 38 259 A1, in which a hinge arrangement is present within a frame profile of a framed glass revolving door

A multiple glazing unit is disclosed in DE 195 47 444 A1. At least two sheets of glass-like material are positioned opposite each other by a spacer

Such a spacer has also become known from DE 43 00 481 A1 and DE 195 02 877 A1. DE 195 02 877 A1 shows a profile between two panes which has, at least in sections, an outside groove for receiving known fittings

The invention has for its object to provide a frameless door with a frameless side part in which the door and side part are made of insulating glass, and at the same time all the bands and actuating devices except the printer are not visible According to the invention, the object is achieved according to the characterizing part of claim 1. On the one hand, a long profile is used as an intermediate piece on the long side of the spaced glass panes within a space that is present between the spacing profile of the two glass panes and the end of the glass panes. This intermediate piece is a profile made of solid material, which consists of light metal, which spreads over the entire height of the door. In the intermediate piece, at the points where a hinge is to be fastened, there are holes with a corresponding thread, for known pieces of hinge around inlet pieces, such as those found in wooden doors can be used to take up a screw connection The hinge flap which is fastened in the inlet piece is designed so that it is invisibly embedded within a pocket which is located within the frame. With such a door, there is no type of hinge or hinge parts or hinge fastenings when closed si as the case with the prior art. The pivot point of the hinge lies within the frame and is stationary. The hinge is cranked and has an angled end that is connected to or in the inlet piece. The inlet pieces are constructed in this way that they allow the connected hinge flaps to be adjusted in height, to the side and in the angle of inclination. In this way, both the door leaf and the pivotable side part are attached

In order to be able to fix the side part, because it is not always opened, there is an invisible adjustment / release control between the two glass panes The intermediate piece made of solid material is fitted with guide pieces for guiding the drive rods emanating from the seat locking / unlocking system. In the area of the door leaf lock on the opposite side, a lock counter case is concealed in the side part Since the inlet pieces are only available in partial areas of the entire door height, the area in between is closed by gluing. The outer end is formed by an end profile to be inserted between the spaced panes. This end profile, like the intermediate piece, is non-positively and positively connected to the two glass panes by means of a UV-stable crosslinking adhesive in the form of a two-component adhesive. Due to the selected screwability of the inlet pieces with the holes of the intermediate piece, it is possible to replace the inlet pieces.

The invention is explained in more detail with reference to a schematically illustrated possible embodiment that is not described in detail. It shows

The door leaf 28 and the movable side part 33 essentially consist of two spaced-apart individual glass panes 5, 10, 32, 42 which each delimit the air gap 18 enclosed between them by circumferential spacer profiles 6. Following the distance profile 6 there is an adhesive 7 This adhesive 7 gives the entire door leaf 28 and the side part 33 greater stability. The spacer profile 6 is not used on the outer edge, as is usually the case with insulating glass panes, but jumps off the glass edge back and thus creates gaps (free space 26) between the glass panes 5, 10, 32, 42 Within one of these gaps following the gluing 7, the intermediate piece 8 according to the invention in the case of the door leaf 28 in the form of a light metal rod is non-positive and positive with its Adhesive surfaces 19, 21 also connected to the glass panes 5, 10 on the side where the door leaf 28 is to be attached. In the intermediate piece 8, bores with corresponding threads are present at the above-mentioned locations where strips are to be fastened in order to fasten them here To make banders

According to the invention, the band flap 13 of the band is struck here. This can be done directly or indirectly. If it is done indirectly as described in the exemplary embodiment, the band with its band flap 13 and subsequent angled portion 12 with a fastening screw 11 on a fastening piece is made using an inlet piece 9 16 of the inlet piece 9 fastened Between the bend 12 and the fastening piece 16 there is a compensating piece 15. The inlet piece 9 is also connected to the intermediate piece 8 by means of corresponding fastenings 20 in a non-positive and positive manner. The inlet piece 9 is designed so that it is both a Adjustment of the band tab 13 in the height, laterally and in its inclination angle is permitted. Thus, an exact adjustment of the bands used is possible

An inlet piece 9 is shown, for example, in FIG. 4, in which the band tab 13 is inserted within the inlet piece 9

In the exemplary embodiment in FIG. 2, the hinge flap 13 has such an offset that an opening of the door leaf 28 is ensured by approximately 90 °

The respective strap flap 13 is struck on the peripheral frame 1 by means of a guide pin (not shown) to be inserted in the pivot point 14 of the strap eye 30 emer pocket 3, which is located in the frame 1, the pocket 3 is delimited, for example in the case of steel frames as a weld-in pocket or insert pocket, with its walls 4 with respect to the underlying wall area. Inside the frame 1 there is also a circumferential seal 2, which ensures that when the door is closed there is a secure closure. A door of this type equipped with the above-described door leaf 28 and its structure thus has an invisible fastening and, moreover, good sound and insulation properties in the closed state

In the same way, for the side part 33, the band is attached to an intermediate piece 36 extending over the entire length of the side part 33 between the spaced glass panes 32, 42. Here there are also inlet pieces 35 to which the band tabs, not shown, are provided in an analogous form As with the door leaf 28, they are fastened in pockets 34 in the peripheral frame. On the opposite side of the intermediate piece 36 there is also a continuous intermediate piece 37 in the end region between the spaced glass panes 32, 42. The intermediate pieces 36, 37 are with the Glass panes 32, 42 are connected to one another in a force-locking and positive-locking manner by means of a UV-stable two-component glue For this reason, corresponding fastening options in the form of bores and screw connections are embedded in the intermediate piece 37

Let us first turn to the area of the lock 29. In the illustration in FIG. 5, this lock 29 is shown in section between the spaced glass panes 5, 10. In the exemplary embodiment, the glass pane 10 has a somewhat larger dimension than the glass pane 5, so that in the In the present case it is a folded door. However, the entire construction can also be transferred to unfolded doors. The latch 57 protruding from the lock 29 engages in an opening located in the lock counter-box 41, a The lock counter-box 41 is embedded within the spaced glass panes 32, 42 of the side part 33. The lock counter-box 41 is fastened within the intermediate piece 37 via fastening options (not shown). The lower drive rod 40 also runs through the lock counter-box 41

Above the lock 29, however, there is an invisible arrangement in the side part 33 between the glass panes 32, 42 Verπegelungsgehause 50 has in the outer area a Stülp 47, in which troughs 48 are included to pivot the actuating lever 53, the Stülp 47 is fastened via the fasteners 49 also on the adapter 37 From the Vegegelungsgehause 50 protruding rod connections 51 on each long side , 52, in which a thread 56 is contained. The drive rods 39, 40, which have a corresponding thread, can thus be screwed into this thread 56

The end region of one end of a drive rod, in this case the drive rod 39, with its connection can be seen in FIG. 6. In order to guide the drive rods 39, 40, guide pieces 45 are connected in a non-positive and positive manner in the end regions to the longitudinally extending intermediate piece 37 Within the guide pieces 45 there is a guide sleeve 46, which ensures safe guiding of the drive rods 39, 40

In Figure 8, the side part 33 is shown in a side view. In this representation, the drive rods are not in the extended state, which means that the drive rods 39, 40 are not anchored in the floor or in the frame. If the lever 53 is pivoted, then at the same time the drive rods 39, 40 are brought into the actuating direction 54, which means that the drive rods 39, 40 are locked in the floor and in the frame. In this position, the side part 33 is fixed and can only be released again by pivoting the lever 53 in the form that the drive rods 39, 40 are retracted into the Betatigungsπchtung 55

The area between the inlet pieces 9, depending on the number used, is moreover closed with an adhesive by means of an adhesive 22. This also makes the door more stable

In order to give the door a pleasing appearance even in the edge region, ie that the adhesive bond 22 is not visible, the spaced glass panes 5, 10 have a closure profile 23 between their end regions and the glass panes 32, 42 a closure profile 44. These closure profiles 23, 44 are preferably designed as a U-shaped light metal profile. The free legs 24, 25 derived from the U-shape are matched to the spacing of the spacing profile 6 and thus to the air gap 18. This end profile 23 is also attached to the glass panes by its legs 24, 25 5, 10 connected by means of an adhesive connection in a force-locking and positive-locking manner, no silicone being used for the bonding. The end profile 44 can, however, also have a different shape, as shown in FIGS. 5 and 6. A buffer can be attached to the end profile 44 at the same time 43 be attached

Since the spaced glass panes 5, 10, 32 42 can be provided with a color coating or screen printing towards the air gap 18, the area of the connection is thus not visible in the aforementioned manner. The glass panes 5, 10 32 can also be used as Safety glass, both toughened safety glass and laminated safety glass
