Abstract

The protection system for a door (100), especially an overhead swing or folding door, covers and seals the zones between two sections (1,2,5) with relative movements and especially the gap (21) between the frame (1) and the door panel (2), or between the frame (1) and the swing/tilt lever mechanism (5). A carrier or support (24), of a rigid and impact-resistant material, secures the protection (24) or a component part (22,23) of it at one of the moving sections (1,2,5), or is bonded to it. It has at least one protective bar or lip (25) at the carrier/support (24), with a relative movement between them. Should an object pass into the gap zone (21), such as a hand or a finger, the bar or lip can be displaced to prevent clamping or squeezing whatever is present.

Description

The invention relates to a protective device for a especially overhead tilting or swinging arm for protective sealing and / or covering an intermediate or transition area between two relative to each other movable sub-elements of the tilt or Swing gates, in particular an intermediate area between the frame and the door leaf or between the frame and a swivel or rocker arm mechanism. Also concerns the invention has such a protective device Tilt or swing gate, in particular a single-leaf overhead door, comprising a frame and a pivoting or tiltable and in particular held overhead Door leaf.

There are protective devices of the type mentioned at the beginning for example in the case of known tilting or swinging gates Shape of a contact strip that goes to the door leaf directed, especially those parallel to the reveal Trending frame sides are attached to the movement of the door leaf or the frame and the door leaf in front by the movement of the door leaf to protect caused grinding or impact marks. On another example of a known protective device are stop bars, especially on the side areas the frame is arranged as a stop for the door leaf and the gate gap, i.e. the intermediate area between Cover the door leaf and frame when the door is closed and thus to some extent protection against the weather and ingress of dirt or the like Offer. In recent times, however, not only that Protection of the gate itself against the quality impairing Influences or by cover (and especially by insulation or sealing) Protection against weather influences is very important, it will also be particularly with regard to product liability recognizing and avoiding even when improper Handling occurring sources of danger for people using the gate are becoming increasingly important. Tilting and Swing gates should not only be used in wind and weather Protect and hold for a long time, each of the gates also applies outgoing danger for people in the vicinity to avoid.

The object of the invention is to provide a protective device to create the kind mentioned by the operation the danger of the gate is reduced. Farther should create a safer tilting or swinging arm become.

To solve this problem, a protective device is the initially mentioned type characterized by at least one preferably from a first, rigid, unyielding and / or existing shock-insensitive material Support or support element that is used to fix the protective device or a part of it on one of the two Partial elements can be attached or - possibly in one piece executed with it - connected to it, and through at least one protective strip or lip element, the such on the support or support element or one of several Support or support elements attached and relative to the support or support element so movable or resilient is that one is in transition or Foreign bodies located in between, in particular a hand or a finger of a person, in the course one to move towards each other to move the sub-elements can cause jamming or crushing of the foreign body to decrease or prevent.

The protective device therefore has a more rigid part, the support or support element, with which they are attached to the Frame, the door leaf or any other particularly movable Partial element of the gate, e.g. the tipping or Swing lever mechanism, is attached and the other Features such as a cover to protect against mechanical stress or interference, in particular by fingers or the like. Besides this more rigid part, the protective device includes a compliant part in the form of a protruding lip or -strip element, which in particular sealing functions, but also additional or alternative covering functions to protect against interference. The compliance is by a movable suspension or preferably by choosing a softer or more elastic Material guaranteed. It is important to ensure that the protective strip or protective lip element foreign bodies, which are in the space between the relative to each other movable sub-elements can. So is a person's finger e.g. in the intermediate area to be sealed or covered, so becomes in the course of moving the partial elements towards each other first the protective lip or strip element the finger capture, but not squeeze it, but dodge due to its compliance. Let it through injuries in the swivel or tilt area Avoid people stopping the gate and risk of crushing can be defused.

Advantageous embodiments of the invention are the subject of subclaims.

An embodiment in which the Protection device has a material mix, so to speak consists of two components. Accordingly, there is one preferred embodiment of the invention, the support or Support element made of a first, the more rigid material, while the attached protective lip or strip element consists of a second material or a has such to ensure its compliance. The second material is more flexible than the first Made of material, in particular elastic or softer. It is particularly advantageous if related Materials such as hard and soft rubber (Hard rubber and rubber) or hard and soft PVC or the like more are used that are made together or have it processed, for example together let extrude. On the other hand, too many other material combinations possible. For example could use metal for the support or support element the (soft) rubber lips or (soft) PVC strips or the like glued, injection molded or otherwise be attached protruding.

The invention is essentially for two purposes Particularly advantageous at the gate: on the one hand for covering or sealing the door gap between the frame and the door leaf or on the other hand to cover a pivot lever mechanism, in both cases a finger intervention, if not at all avoided, but still less dangerous (for nonetheless intervening Fingers) should be made.

Accordingly, there are two particularly preferred basic embodiments the invention. A first basic design is in the form of one or more sealing strips in particular instead of or in addition to the usual one or more on frame side rails or side door leaf edges existing contact strip (s) provided, whereby in a particularly advantageous embodiment of the Invention the support or support element the function of Contact strip with met. A second basic Design is as a cover or cover for executed the swing lever mechanism, there especially for the area where the counterbalance spring engages and which in the course of the door leaf closing movement of the Frame approaches. Of course, there is also one Protective device conceivable, which both the invention (s) Sealing strip (s) as well as one or more according to the invention Cover shells or caps as individual sub-elements includes and thus the advantages of the two basic ones Designs connects together.

The first basic embodiment of the invention, the invention Sealing strip is in a preferred embodiment formed as a profile strip, for example essentially with L or Z-shaped cross section. Thereby forms a first profile section thereof, for example the Main web of the L-shaped cross section, the supporting or Support element, wherein a second profile section protruding therefrom forms the protective lip element. The second Profile section, which in the example of the L-shaped cross section can be formed by the short leg, is particularly suitable as a sealing lip or stop flag for executed the other sub-element, the Sealing lip or stop lug preferably from such Compliant material is that instead of a finger squeezing it, evades, e.g. him soft encloses. In addition to the protective function for itself in the intermediate area fingers (or an entire hand or another foreign body) has the protective lip element naturally in his training as a sealing lip also sealing functions, i.e. it covers the Intermediate space or sealingly engages in this. Also because of its sealing effects, the preferred one is used compliant second material of the two-component sealing strip advantageous so that the sealing lip can also be used is suitable in which it has no finger protection function Fulfills. In principle, although this is preferred is not the entire second profile section consist of the softer material. It is e.g. for finger protection also sufficient if an end range or a Connection area consists of such material, as long as thereby evading the protective lip element upon finger intervention or the like can be guaranteed.

The first profile section, which is the support or support element forms, can be used to attach the sealing strip to the Frame or door leaf can be designed differently. Advantageously it includes a particularly strip-shaped straight, load-bearing piece, e.g. the wide profile web an essentially L-shaped sealing strip, of which except the protective lip element also a fastening section protrudes, with the help of which the attachment of the Sealing strip can be carried out on the door leaf or frame.

In a further advantageous embodiment the usual for attaching sanding strips to the frame Holding grooves used, then the fastening section to intervene in such, usually at the frame face parallel to the reveal and facing the door leaf existing groove is formed. On the other hand can be on the frame or the door leaf on others Place retaining grooves for attaching the invention Sealing strips are provided, e.g. at the in the inside of the frame side facing the locked room, then the fastening section accordingly is trained.

In addition to or instead of one for (especially resting or jamming) trained in holding grooves Fastening section can be another or further fastening section may be provided, which itself on an edge of the gate element, on which the sealing strip is to be attached, supported or embraced. The encompassing fastening section can in particular be longer be executed and with screws or the like Fastening devices on the frame or door leaf be determined, the groove engagement then also entirely can be omitted. The entire sealing strip can be Z-shaped be designed, preferably the sealing or Stop lip at one end and a fastening section at the other end of the load-bearing center piece in protrude different directions.

The encompassing free end area of the fastening section can also be specified again. So are screw connections, bonds, rivets and the same more conceivable. In a further preferred embodiment are from the gate part element on which the sealing strip to be attached, protruding devices such as pillow blocks, Track holders, roller bearings or other Bearings or guides for the door leaf, the swivel or Rocker arm mechanism, the weight compensation spring element or the like, each with a recess or recess provided in which the free end of the encompassing Fastening section introduced and possibly also can get stuck in it.

In the second basic embodiment of the invention, in which the protective device a cover for the at least partial coverage of the swivel or rocker arm mechanism includes, this is preferably directly on the Swivel or rocker arm or thus for joint movement connected parts attachable. The preferably in Cover form in the form of a cap or shell more preferably a support or main body made of metal or the like tough first material. Also the main body has a profiled in a preferred embodiment Form on, which varies depending on the protective function Shape can be. A very good one because it is comprehensive Protection is provided by a U-shaped cross-sectional shape with a straight profile web and two profile legs protruding from it reached.

The end regions of the legs or other in particular edge areas of the cover pointing towards the frame are preferred as the protective strip elements according to the invention trained, i.e. so resilient that a located in the vicinity of the frame Finger or hand area from injury from these edge areas is protected. In particular, they consist of (Soft) rubber or (soft) PVC or the like.

In a further preferred embodiment, the cover is on one end of a pivot lever or one existing there Lever arm bearing and / or a spring band acting on it attached. Such a spring band is used to Swivel lever with an existing one for weight compensation Expansion spring element, e.g. a coil spring or a spring assembly, in particular adjustable to connect. To attach the cover is one on the (rear, short) lever end, the lever arm bearing and / or the spring band existing or attachable fastening device for positive or frictional fastening the cover provided on the lever mechanism. The fastener preferably includes locking or clamping elements or press nipple. This is the end of the lever locking or clamping element to be connected or with the press-on nipple to be connected to the lever end is further preferred provided with a loop or gripping element that on a crossbar or the like on the lever arm which the spring band attacks, or on which to attack lever arm bearings for the weight balancing device can be clipped on under tension. Then is still one second press nipple or the like on the spring band available, so the cover at the end of the lever be clipped onto the lever arm bearing, then by Swiveling around this lever arm bearing into the final one Attachment position are brought and there by clipping (Jamming, locking, ...) on the on the spring band existing press nipple or the like set become.

with the representations in FIGS. 1, 2, 3 and 9 comparable views of a swing gate in a third embodiment.

In the figures there are partial areas or partial elements represented by swing gates 100, 200, 300 for garages. The swing gates 100, 200, 300 shown each have a frame 1 and a door leaf that can be moved overhead 2 on. The door leaf 2 is at the top when installed Area over rollers 3 (Fig. 6) in on the ceiling or not like the garage in the horizontal direction illustrated but well known manner attached Runs 4 out. The door leaf swings to open 2 in such a way that its lower edge 2a describes an arch that extends outwards from the gate opening, until it's essentially through the running tracks 4 defined largely horizontal opening position reached. This swiveling overhead movement will guided by a pivot lever mechanism 5, which on each side area of the swing gate 100, 200, 300 one on the respective side frame member 6 mounted pivot lever 7 and a weight compensation device 8 comprises.

The pivot lever 7 engages with one end 9 on the lower corner 10 of the door leaf 2 (see e.g. Fig. 1). The pivot lever 7 is on a bracket 11 for pivoting mounted about a pivot axis A (Fig. 2). The other End 12 of the pivot lever 7 is a lever arm bearing 13 is provided on which the weight compensation device 8 attacks to balance the door leaf weight.

The weight compensation device 8 has an expansion spring element 14, and a spring band 15 for adjustable fastening of the spring element 14 at the end 12 of the Swivel lever 7 on. The expansion spring element 14 is at the versions shown formed by a spring assembly and has several parallel tension springs 16, 16 'on the tie rods 17, 17' and 18, 18 'together on the frame 1 (see Fig. 1, 10) or the Spring band 15 (e.g. Fig. 2, 11) are attached. The first, 1 to 6 shown and the third, in Figs. Embodiment 100, 300 of the swing gate shown in FIGS. 10 to 13 differ essentially only in that Number and type of their coil springs 16, 16 'and through their respective adapted tie rods 17, 18 and 17 ', 18'.

The individual sub-elements 1, 2 and 5 of the swing gate 100, 200, 300, i.e. frame 1, door leaf 2 and that Swiveling lever mechanism 5, move in the course of the opening and Closing movement relative to each other. To the individual Sub-elements 1, 2 and 5 before from this relative movement resulting mechanical stress due to grinding together to protect or bump or the like, and / or for the protective sealing and covering of intermediate areas between these sub-elements 1, 2 and 5 is the swing arm 100, 200, 300 with a protective device 20 provided in the following based on the illustration 1, 2 and 4 to 8 is explained.

The protection device 20 comprises in the gap area, i.e. in the Area of the gate gap 21 between the frame 1 and the Door leaf 2, sealing or stop strips 22 and 23 and at the second embodiment 200 of the swing gate additionally another cover 60 for the rocker arm mechanism 5.

First, they are used for protective covering and sealing of the door leaf gap 21 serving sealing strips 22 and 23 described. They include a stop bar on the frame side or sealing strip 22 and a stop or sealing strip 23 on the door leaf side.

The frame-side sealing strip 22 is formed by a Profile bar that as a first profile section on the side frame 6 fixed supporting profile web 24, from which a second profile section in the form of a freely ending flange or profile leg 25 protrudes. The profile web 24 is for gripping on the frame spar 6 with two fastening sections 26 and 27 provided perpendicular to one of the frame 1 project from the facing side of the profile web 24. The first Fastening section 26 is with barb elements 28 provided and for insertion and fixed rest or holding into a face 29 at the end of the door opening (which are usually arranged parallel to the reveal opening is) of the frame 6 existing retaining groove 30 is formed. With some door leaves of known type, such serve Grooves 30 to hold contact strips, which for Protection against grinding damage by grinding the Frame 1 and door leaf 2 on the door leaf 2 facing Pages 29 of the side rails 6 are attached. At an embodiment not shown is additional or instead of the groove 30 a retaining groove on the one to be closed Room facing inside 31 of the side member 6 arranged, in which groove a corresponding Extension engages on the fastening portion 27.

In the embodiment shown, the second fastening section protrudes 27 in such a way from that through the profile web 24 formed first profile section that he the door leaf side Inner edge 32 of the frame spar 6 in particular gripping around. As from the circled detail II of Fig. 2 can be seen, the bearing block 11th on its side facing the door leaf 2 for receiving this fastening section 27 with a recess 33 Mistake. With such a recess 33 is also a 4 and 5 stop block 34 shown, the for guiding the door leaf movement, especially for limiting the same or serves as a stop for the door leaf 2.

The stop block 34 is in the area of the inner edge 32 in the height at which the initial Swivel axis of the door leaf 2 is located. I.e. When opening from the closed position, the door leaf 2 moves above the upper edge 35 of the stop block in the gate opening in and out of it. For the below this initial pivot axis The edge area of the door leaf 2 serves the sealing strip 22 in Closed state as a sealing stop. For this is the Sealing strip 22 from its beginning at the lower corner 10 of the swing gate up to the bracket on the Stop block 34 with the forming the second profile section Profile leg 25 provided as a sealing lip works. Also the second mounting section 27, the Inner edge 32 is non-gripping, ends at the Stop block 34. In addition, the first profile section, i.e. the profile web 24, the frame side Sealing strip 22 in the area of the stop block 34 as explained in more detail below. As from Fig. 5, the stop block 34 is on its stop side 36 for receiving the end 37 of the second profile section (the profile leg 25) and the formed by the narrowing paragraph 38 of the first Profile section (of the supporting profile web 24) provided with a recess 39 into which the ends 37, 38 are fitted. A definition of the sealing strip on the frame side 22 is also in particular embodiments possible that the second attachment portion 27 and / or the ends 37, 38 by tightening the for mounting the bearing block 11 or the stop block 34 serving screws 40, 41 in the recesses or recesses 33 and 39 can be clamped.

Overall, the sealing strip 22 has in the area between the corner 10 and the stop block 34 due to the load-bearing profile web 24 and the one acting as a sealing lip Profile leg 25 substantially approximately an L-shaped Cross-sectional shape when looking at the mounting sections 26, 27 once out of consideration. The main one Profile web 24 is reinforced in the region of the groove 30 executed. For this he is how to look at the different shown cross sections can be seen with a Provide thickening 42. As can be seen from FIGS. 4 and 5, this reinforced area continues at the Groove 30 also beyond the stop block 34 upwards away. Thus, the reinforced area and if necessary the entire first profile section as protection against Traces of grinding or impact or designed as a grinding guide. The sealing strip 22 thus serves in the illustrated Embodiment not only for sealing and covering the Gate gap 21, it also replaces the conventional contact strips and performs their function.

Protection from grinding marks is on the whole Length of the gate gap 21 through the frame-side sealing strip 22 ensures, which also bumps and noise be reduced. In contrast, the sealing lip ends, i.e. the protruding profile leg 25 in the area of the stop block 34. The area above the gate gap 21 is through the sealing strip 23 on the door leaf side sealed covering.

This sealing strip 23 needs, since it is the one shown here Examples do not fulfill an anti-slip function must not necessarily also protrude into the gate gap 21. It therefore points in the example shown in essentially a Z-shaped cross-section, with a central profile web 43, of which on the door leaf side a third mounting section 44 and toward the frame 1 to act as a sealing lip or stop lug freely ending profile leg 45 protrudes.

The third fastening section 44 engages around the inner edge 46 of the door leaf 2 and is on the to be completed Room facing inside 47 of the edge of the door leaf attached with fasteners 48. As fastening devices 48 are anyway existing screw connections or the like are used, like a screw 49 of the roller bearing block 50 or that of a door leaf-side stop block 51, the 100, 200, 300 barely in the closed state of the swing gate to lie above the frame-side stop block 34 comes (see detail view IVb of Fig. 4). The door leaf side Stop block 51 and the roller bearing block 50 are also on their sides facing the door leaf 2 Provide recesses for receiving the sealing strip 23. When the swing gate 100, 200 is closed, 300 is the profile leg designed as a sealing lip 45 sealing against the frame 1.

In addition to the through the sealing effect, the shock and wear reducing Effect and coverage guaranteed The sealing strips 22 and 23 have protective functions but another protective function, namely that fingers located in the vicinity of the gate gap 21 or similar foreign bodies before crushing To protect closing the door leaf 2. For this, the Sealing lip or stop flag, i.e. the profile handle 25 or 45, not rigid but as indicated by the arrows in the Detailed views I of Fig. 1 or Fig. 10 or IVa of 4 indicated, movable from the profile web 24 or 43 from. As shown, the profile leg 25, 45 is there can be moved sideways out of its rest position, i.e. can be folded away in the examples shown. This can he when touching a foreign body, such as a hand or of a finger, yielding softly so that bruises on the sealing lip or on the one formed by the sealing lips Stop for the other gate part element 1, 2 can be prevented. A mere attack of sharp edges on the foreign body or shear of the foreign body between the edges (especially the inner edges 32 and 46) is omitted.

The different functions of the sealing strips 22, 23 are thereby easily accessible that, as it were, as a support or Supporting element for the entire sealing strip 22 acting first profile section, i.e. the profile web 24 or 43, made of a material that has other properties has than that for the one acting as a protective lip element second profile section, i.e. the profile leg 25 or 45, material used. With the first material it comes down to resilience and the stiffness useful for load-bearing elements, while the second material ensure a certain flexibility got to. This then becomes a two-component seal, so to speak educated. Particularly suitable material pairs for this are hard and soft rubber or hard and Soft PVC. Let such related materials also extrude together so that the sealing strip 22, 23 can be produced in one operation.

Also those in FIGS. 7 and 8 with a swing arm 200 in cover 60 shown in a second embodiment injuries to fingers or a hand happen to be in the vicinity of the swing gate 200 or to help avoid. The cover 60 is as executed essentially U-shaped shell. With a load-bearing profile web 66 and protruding from U-profile leg formed side walls 64 it covers the Storage area and the rear lever arm area of the Swing lever mechanism 5. This is a manual intervention between the lever arm 61 and the spring band 15 largely prevented. In addition, the cover or cover shell 60 at their edge regions 62 facing the frame 1 similar to those that act as protective or sealing lips Profile legs 25, 45 of the sealing strips 22, 23 in particular compliant to run between the frame 1 and the swiveling lever mechanism to avoid 5 bruises. The Compliance of these edge areas 62 of the side walls 64 of the cover 60 is the same as for the sealing strips 22, 23 by selecting a compliant second material ensures that with a more rigid first material in the Composite together forms the cover shell 60. As the first Material serves metal (sheet steel) or the like, from which a covered or covered by the cover shell 60 Main body 65 with a substantially U-shaped cross section is formed. To form the side walls 64 are U-profile leg of this main body 65 by gluing or spraying or other fastening of protective strips 63 extended from the second material, which Is or comprises soft rubber or soft PVC or the like. The supporting profile web 66 of the U main body 65 instructs for attachment to the rear lever arm 61 or the spring band 15 openings 67. There are four in total Openings 67 are provided, only two for attachment are required in each case. Because of the other two openings 67, the cover tray 60 can also be offset Layer are attached so that the cover shell 60 e.g. both as shown on the left side of the swing gate (from can be used on the outside as well as on the right side is.

A latching device is provided for fastening the cover shell 60 68 provided, which engages on the lever arm bearing 13 first press nipple 69 and one on the spring band 15 attacking second press nipple 70 comprises. The first press nipple 69 has for attachment to the Lever arm bearing 13 a preload on the round Crossbar 71 of the lever arm bearing 13 clip-on loop element 72 on. The second press nipple 70 engages with its end opposite the cover shell 60 in a first opening 73 provided on the spring band 15 on.

As can be seen from the detailed views III of FIGS. 3 and 12, is the spring band 15 itself with a first essentially rectilinear section 74, the free End is connected to the lever arm bearing 13, and one second substantially straight section 75, which as Perforated tape is designed and with a series of eyelets or Holes 76 for one selectable to adjust the tension Engagement of the upper tie rod 18, 18 'is provided, and a step 77 in between. With the stage 77 engages the spring band 15 in the closed position of the swing gate 100, 200, 300 in those shown in FIGS. 2 and 11 Versions around the pivot axis A defining Pivot lever bearing 78 around such that the expansion spring element 14 the swivel lever 7 straight down acted upon. The system is in or close to top dead center. The rear lever arm 61 is thus with the door leaf closed, neither forwards nor forwards Prestressed behind, it remains in its unstable rest position. The weight balance is only when moving the Door leaf 2 properly active from its closed position. This setting is for the engine operation of the Swing gates 100, 200, 300 advantageous because the gate so easily by the motor drive in its closed position bring and keep there.

With manual operation, however, it can be very advantageous if the door leaf 2 a certain preload at a slight open state. In this case swings the door leaf 2 after releasing a locking device (not shown) first a little forward its closed position and can then be opened more easily become. A selectable setting of such The bias is shown in the Schwenktor shown in Fig. 3 100, 300 by a gate preload adjuster 79 on the spring band 15 allows. Through the gate preload adjuster 79 the spring band 15 in the closed state of the swing gate 100, 300 in one to the rear (into the room to be locked) held inclined position. The expansion spring element 14 then not only acts on the spring band 15 straight after below, but also with a small forward-facing one Component over the spring band 15 and the Swivel lever 7 is transferred to the door leaf 2. In the The embodiment shown includes the setting device 79 one into a second one, in particular with a thread Opening 80 on the spring band 15, more precisely on the first Section 74 of the same, engaging adjusting screw 85, their free end at an adjustable depth on the pivot lever bearing Attack 78 of the bearing block 11 can. In further embodiments, not shown includes the gate preload adjuster 79 on the spring band 15 attachable coasters or the like Level 77 underpinnings.
