Definitions
- the invention relates to a door with the features of the preamble of claim 1.
- Doors of this type can be used for closing larger surfaces, with the door extending in a horizontal plane, above the passage, in its open condition.
- the panels which are guided in rails on either side of the passage, are tilted, starting with the lower(most) panel. During said tilting, panels positioned adjacently to each other will hinge with respect to each other.

Description
- The invention relates to a door with the features of the preamble of
claim 1. - Doors of this type can be used for closing larger surfaces, with the door extending in a horizontal plane, above the passage, in its open condition. When the door is being closed, the panels, which are guided in rails on either side of the passage, are tilted, starting with the lower(most) panel. During said tilting, panels positioned adjacently to each other will hinge with respect to each other.
- The term inside surface as used herein is understood to mean the side of the door that faces the side where the door is present in its open condition, and the term outside surface is understood to mean the other side of the door, which usually faces the outside when the door is installed on the outside of a building.
- The drawback of such a door as described in US-A-3,941,180 is the fact that a person's fingers may become wedged between the two panels when the panels move towards each other during their relative hinging movement. Another drawback is the fact that two adjacent panels cannot hinge any further than the position in which the lateral surfaces of the panels touch each other near the outside surface of the door, in which position the panels are in line, so that the door extends in a flat plane. It may be desirable, however, for the two adjacent panels to be able to hinge slightly further, in particular when the door occupies a horizontal, open position.
- With the door which is disclosed in EP-A-0 304 642 the above drawbacks have been avoided by shaping the lateral surfaces such that a U-shaped recess is present between the panels at the outside surface of the door in the closed position thereof, which recess extends in horizontal direction. The dimensions of said U-shaped recess should be large so that it is not possible for a person's finger(s) to become wedged therein. However, the presence of the U-shaped recess between the panels according to EP-A-0 304 642 may be undesirable, because it forms a considerable relief on the outside surface of the door, in which dirt and other undesirable materials may accumulate. Furthermore such recess requires special sealings at the vertical edges of the door opening to obtain a water and air tight closing of the door. WO 99/16997 discloses a door with the features of the preamble of
claim 1. - The object of the invention is to provide a door comprising hinged-together panels, wherein no recess is present between the panels on the outside surface of the door, when the door is closed, and wherein the risk of a person's finger(s) becoming wedged is minimal. This is accomplished by a door according to
claim 1 and a panel according toclaim 7. A panel according to the invention comprises a strip of an elastic, flexible material which is present in deformed condition between the two panels at the outside surface of the door in the closed condition of said door. The flexible material will deform when the lateral surfaces of two adjacent panels move towards each other, such that part of the material of the strip will move in the direction of the outside surface of the door, thus pushing out any objects that may be present at that location, such as a person's finger(s). - Preferably, the dimension of the flexible material that is present near the outside surface of the door, measured in vertical direction in the closed condition of the door, is less than 6 mm, more preferably less than 4 mm, and in a preferred embodiment said dimension is about 2 mm.
- Preferably, said sloping portion is curved cylindrically, with the hinge axis forming the central axis of the cylinder. This will be explained more fully as yet by means of an example.
- In one preferred embodiment, said lateral surface comprises a first portion adjacent to the outside surface of the door, which extends substantially perpendicularly to said outside surface, with said sloping portion adjoining said first portion. The strip of flexible material thereby abuts against said first portion.
- Said strip of flexible material is attached at the location of the sloping portion of the lateral surface of the panel, whereby said strip of flexible material may be provided in a slot which is present in the lateral surface of a panel.
- In one preferred embodiment, the strip of flexible material is compressible, that is, the volume of the material will decrease under pressure. To that end, the material may be provided with hollow spaces. Preferably, the strip of flexible material has a cross section comprising an enclosed space. The strip may thereby comprise a hollow space which extends along the length of the strip, as will be explained more fully as yet by means of an example.
- The invention furthermore relates to a panel according to
claim 7 and a method for closing a door, said method being claimed in claim 8. - In order to explain the invention more fully, an embodiment of the connection between two adjacent panels of a door will be described hereafter with reference to the drawing.
- Figure 1 shows the connection between two panels in the closed position of a door; and
- Figure 2 shows the same connection, wherein the two panels extend at an angle with respect to each other.
- The figures are merely schematic representations, which only show those parts that are relevant for the explanation.
- The figures show, in vertical sectional view, the upper part of a
first panel 1 and the lower part of asecond panel 2, which is positioned above said first panel.Panel 1 comprises anoutside surface 3 and an inside surface 4, andpanel 2 comprises anoutside surface 5 and aninside surface 6. -
First panel 1 andsecond panel 2 are interconnected by means of ahinge 7, which is secured tofirst panel 1 with a part 8 and tosecond panel 2 with apart 9, for example by means of screws. - The lower side of the second panel comprises a
lateral surface 10, and the upper side offirst panel 1 comprises alateral surface 11, which are shaped such that at least part oflateral surface 11 can extend to within arecess 12 insecond panel 2 which is formed bylateral surface 10. A strip of aflexible material 13, for example plastic or rubber, abuts againstlateral surface 11, nearoutside surface 3. - Figure 2 shows the strip of
material 13 in undeformed condition, with ahollow space 14 being enclosed therein, seen in cross-sectional view ofmaterial 13, so that the strip ofmaterial 13 is compressible, that is, that the volume thereof will decrease under pressure. Strip ofmaterial 13 extends with another part into aslot 15, in which said strip is attached with a clamped fit to abut againstlateral surface 11. - When the two
panels material 13 is thereby clamped between the twopanels material 13, which is positioned between the twopanels outside surface panels - When the two
panels panels inside surfaces 4,6, so that they are supported one against another at that location and/or inhinge 7.Panels outside surfaces flexible material 13, as a result of which the relative position ofpanels - As is apparent from Figure 1, the
outside surfaces panels flexible material 13, a nearly continuous outside surface of the door. This offers both visual and practical advantages. - When the two
panels lower edge 16 ofsecond panel 2, which is positioned near outsidesurface 5, will move along acylindrical part 17 oflateral surface 11 offirst panel 1. As soon aslower edge 16 touches the strip of flexible material, said material will deform, whereby part of said material will move in the direction of theoutside surfaces panels panels flexible material 13. -
Lateral surface 11 ofpanel 1 is provided, near outsidesurface 3, with aportion 18 which extends substantially perpendicularly tooutside surface 3.Flexible material 13 is clamped between saidportion 18 andlower edge 16. - The embodiment as shown in the figures should be considered as an example, many other embodiments are possible within the scope of protection claimed in the appended claims.
