Description

Die Erfindung betrifft eine Bodendichtung der dem Oberbegriff des Anspruchs 1 entsprechenden Art.The invention relates to a floor seal of the type corresponding to the preamble of claim 1.

Derartige Bodendichtungen, die insbesondere bei schwellenlosen Türen angebracht sein können, besitzen häufig eine stab- oder leistenförmige Dichtungsanordnung, die unter oder in der Türunterkante vorhanden ist. Diese Dichtungsanordnung schließt den Luftspalt zwischen der Türblattunterkante und dem Boden ab. Hierbei kann es sich um eine feststehende oder, wie in der EP 0 424 973 beschrieben, um eine automatische Dichtungsanordnung handeln. Gemeinsam ist beiden Anordnungen ein Dichtungskörper und eine den Dichtungskörper führende Führungsschiene, die über die gesamte Länge der Dichtungsanordnung vorhanden sind, die sich wiederum über die gesamte Breite des Türblatts erstreckt.Floor seals of this type, which can be attached in particular to doors without thresholds, often have a rod-shaped or strip-shaped sealing arrangement which is present under or in the bottom edge of the door. This sealing arrangement closes the air gap between the lower edge of the door leaf and the floor. This can be a fixed or, as described in EP 0 424 973, an automatic sealing arrangement. Common to both arrangements is a sealing body and a guide rail guiding the sealing body, which are present over the entire length of the sealing arrangement, which in turn extends over the entire width of the door leaf.

Türen der in Frage kommenden Art mit einem Holzrahmen weisen im Bereich der Unterkante des Türblatts meist eine Nut auf, in die die Führungsschiene eingesetzt wird. Zur Befestigung der Führungsschiene in den Holztürblättern werden zwei Befestigungsarten bevorzugt. Die erste Art umfaßt stimseitig anzubringende Befestigungswinkel, deren einer Schenkel in das äußere Gehäuse der Dichtung eingreift und deren anderes Ende von der Falzseite des Türblattes her verschraubt wird. Bei dieser Art der Befestigung wird die Türblattunterkante oft mit einer flachen, der Materialstärke des Befestigungswinkels entsprechenden Nut versehen, um den freien Schenkel des Winkels bündig mit der Unterkante des Türblattes abschließen zu lassen.Doors of the type in question with a wooden frame usually have a groove in the area of the lower edge of the door leaf, into which the guide rail is inserted. Two types of fastening are preferred for fastening the guide rail in the wooden door leaves. The first type comprises fastening brackets to be attached on the end face, one leg of which engages in the outer housing of the seal and the other end of which is screwed from the folded side of the door leaf. With this type of fastening, the lower edge of the door leaf is often flat with the material thickness of the fastening angle Provide a groove to allow the free leg of the bracket to be flush with the lower edge of the door leaf.

Bei der zweiten Methode der Befestigung der Führungsschiene der Dichtungsanordnung werden Nägel oder Schrauben durch die Schenkel des dann im Querschnitt hutförmigen äußeren Gehäuses der Führungsschiene in die Unterkante des Türblattes geschlagen oder geschraubt. Diese Befestigungsart wird deswegen bevorzugt, weil keine nachträgliche Bearbeitung des Türblattfalzes erforderlich ist.In the second method of fastening the guide rail of the sealing arrangement, nails or screws are knocked or screwed through the legs of the outer housing of the guide rail, which is then hat-shaped in cross section, into the lower edge of the door leaf. This type of fastening is preferred because no subsequent processing of the door leaf rebate is required.

Um Nägel oder Schrauben einbringen zu können, werden die Schenkel des äußeren Gehäuses in gleichmäßigen Abständen durch Stanzen oder Bohren mit Lochungen versehen. Dabei werden die Lochungen so gesetzt, daß bei der Montage der Führungsschiene in der Türblattunterkante die äußeren Lochungen nahe an den äußeren Stimkanten der Türblattunterkante liegen, um so eine optimale Befestigung zu erreichen. Derartige Bodendichtungen sind z.B. in DE-U- 1 723 722 oder US-A-1948108 beschrieben.In order to be able to insert nails or screws, the legs of the outer housing are perforated at regular intervals by punching or drilling. The perforations are set so that when the guide rail is installed in the lower edge of the door leaf, the outer perforations are close to the outer edges of the lower edge of the door leaf, in order to achieve optimal fastening. Such floor seals are e.g. in DE-U-1 723 722 or US-A-1948108.

Üblicherweise werden aber die Bodendichtungen in sogenannten Lagerlängen angeboten, die den verschiedenen Breiten der Norm-Türblätter entsprechen. Lagerlängen sind jeweils bis zu der darunter liegenden Lagerlänge kürzbar. Beim Kürzen kommt es häufig aufgrund der unterschiedlichen Türbreiten vor, daß die äußeren Lochungen entfallen und somit die Befestigung der Dichtung weiter von der äußeren Stirnseite der Türblattkante entfernt vorgenommen werden muß. Dies führt jedoch je nach der Kraft, mit der die Nägel oder Schrauben eingebracht werden, zu einer Deformation des dünnwandigen äußeren Gehäuses der Dichtung.Usually, however, the floor seals are offered in so-called stock lengths that correspond to the different widths of the standard door leaves. Stock lengths can be shortened up to the underlying stock length. When shortening, it often happens due to the different door widths that the outer perforations are omitted and the seal must therefore be attached further away from the outer end face of the door leaf edge. However, depending on the force with which the nails or screws are inserted, this leads to a deformation of the thin-walled outer housing of the seal.

Daher liegt der Erfindung die Aufgabe zugrunde, auf einfache Weise eine gattungsgemäße Bodendichtung bereitzustellen, bei der die äußeren Befestigungsstellen immer nahe den Enden der Türblattunterkanten liegen.Therefore, the invention has for its object to provide a generic floor seal in a simple manner, in which the outer fastening points are always close to the ends of the bottom edge of the door leaf.

Diese Aufgabe wird durch eine Bodendichtung mit den Merkmalen des Anspruchs 1 gelöst.This object is achieved by a floor seal with the features of claim 1.

Erfindungsgemäß ist erkannt worden, daß durch die Ausgestaltung der seitlichen Schenkel der im Querschnitt hutförmigen Führungsschiene der Bodendichtung mit einer in Längsrichtung durchgehenden Zone mit geringerer Materialstärke, ein gezieltes Durchstoßen der Schenkel mit Nägeln oder dergleichen zur Befestigung der Führungsschiene ohne vorheriges Lochen ermöglicht wird.According to the invention, it has been recognized that the configuration of the lateral legs of the guide rail of the bottom seal, which is hat-shaped in cross section, with a continuous zone in the longitudinal direction with a lesser material thickness, enables a targeted puncturing of the legs with nails or the like for fastening the guide rail without prior punching.

Die Lage und Zahl der Befestigungsstellen kann daher frei gewählt und den jeweiligen Bedürfnissen angepaßt werden, ohne daß es dabei auf die Lage vorher angebrachter Lochungen in der Führungsschiene ankommt.The location and number of attachment points can therefore be chosen freely and adapted to the respective needs, without the position of previously made perforations in the guide rail being important.

Die Führungsschiene, die vorzugsweise aus stranggepreßtem Aluminium besteht, kann somit ohne nachträgliche Bearbeitung bei jeder beliebigen Türbreite verwendet werden.The guide rail, which is preferably made of extruded aluminum, can thus be used with any door width without subsequent processing.

In vielen Ländern ist es üblich, zwischen Türblattunterkante und dem Boden einen Spalt von etwa 1 cm zu belassen. Dieser Spalt wird bei Bedarf durch die vorzugsweise automatische Bodendichtung geschlossen. Im Fall des Einbaus der Bodendichtungen von unten in das Türblatt ist deren Bauhöhe begrenzt. Automatisch absenkbare Bodendichtungen können konstruktiv und durch diese begrenzte Bauhöhe bedingt Türspalte von etwa 1,5 cm schließen. Dies ergibt jedoch in einigen Ländern Probleme, da dort die Türspalte bis zu 2 cm betragen können.In many countries it is common to leave a gap of about 1 cm between the bottom edge of the door leaf and the floor. If necessary, this gap is closed by the preferably automatic floor seal. If the floor seals are installed in the door leaf from below, their height is limited. Automatically lowerable floor seals can close door gaps of about 1.5 cm in terms of design and due to this limited overall height. However, this creates problems in some countries, since there the door gaps can be up to 2 cm.

Dieses technische Problem kann durch eine kastenförmige Ausbildung der äußeren Schenkel der im Querschnitt hutförmigen Führungsschiene gelöst werden (Anspruch 2).This technical problem can be solved by a box-shaped design of the outer legs of the guide rail which is hat-shaped in cross section (claim 2).

Der Türspalt wird dadurch auf eine Höhe von etwa 0,5 bis 1,0 cm reduziert. So kann unter Verwendung einer normalen Mechanik die Bodendichtung den größeren Türspalt schließen.This reduces the door gap to a height of approximately 0.5 to 1.0 cm. Using a normal mechanism, the floor seal can close the larger door gap.

Durch die kastenförmige Ausbildung der Schenkel besteht jedoch die Gefahr, daß bei der Befestigung der Bodendichtung durch Nägel oder Schrauben diese nicht senkrecht zur Türblattunterkante eingeschlagen oder eingeschraubt werden, sondern schräg verlaufen. Da aber die Bodendichtungen in der Nähe der Außenseite des Türblattes angebracht sind, können schräg verlaufende Nägel oder Schrauben aus der Ebene des Türblatts heraustreten oder die Führungsschiene der Bodendichtung verformen und die Mechanik derselben behindern oder beschädigen.Due to the box-shaped design of the legs, however, there is a risk that when the floor seal is fastened by nails or screws, they will not be driven in or screwed in perpendicularly to the lower edge of the door leaf, but will run obliquely. However, since the floor seals are located near the outside of the door leaf, oblique nails or screws can emerge from the plane of the door leaf or deform the guide rail of the floor seal and hinder or damage its mechanics.

Abhilfe könnte durch Lochung der kastenförmigen Schenkel durch Bohren oder Stanzen geschaffen werden. Dies bedingt aber eine aufwendige Nachbearbeitung des stranggepreßten Materials und nach dem Lochen eine weitere Säuberung des Gehäuses, um Späne und andere Materialrückstände im Kasten zu entfemen. Weiterhin tritt beim Kürzen der Lagerlängen auf die jeweilige Türbreite das oben erwähnte Problem mit der Lage der äußeren Lochungen auf.This could be remedied by perforating the box-shaped legs by drilling or punching. However, this requires a complex post-processing of the extruded material and after punching a further cleaning of the housing in order to remove chips and other material residues in the box. Furthermore, when shortening the bearing lengths to the respective door width, the above-mentioned problem with the position of the outer perforations occurs.

Um das seitliche Ausweichen der Nägel bzw. Schrauben oder dergleichen zu verhindem und sie stets ordentlich parallel zu den Seitenwandungen der Führungsschiene in die Türblattunterkante einbringen zu können, besitzen die kastenförmigen Schenkel gemäß der Ausgestaltung nach Anspruch 2 nicht nur die oben erwähnte äußere Längskerbe, sondern im Inneren des kastenförmigen Schenkels eine zweite Zone mit verringerter Materialstärke, die ebenfalls durchstoßen werden kann und so angeordnet ist, daß eine zu den Seitenwandungen der Führungsschiene parallele Ausrichtung des Befestigungsmittels herbeigeführt wird.In order to prevent the lateral evasion of the nails or screws or the like and to always be able to insert them neatly parallel to the side walls of the guide rail into the lower edge of the door leaf, the box-shaped legs according to the embodiment according to claim 2 have not only the above-mentioned outer longitudinal notch but also Inside the box-shaped leg, a second zone with reduced material thickness, which can also be pierced and is arranged so that an alignment of the fastening means parallel to the side walls of the guide rail is brought about.

Das Innere des kastenförmigen Schenkels läuft gemäß Anspruch 4 schräg zu einer Kerbe zusammen, an deren Spitze die der Türblattunterkante benachbarte Kastenwand durchschlagen werden kann und die auf einer durch die erste äußere Kerbe verlaufenden Ebene liegt, die parallel zur Türblatteben ist.The inside of the box-shaped leg converges obliquely to form a notch, at the tip of which the box wall adjacent to the lower edge of the door leaf can be penetrated and which lies on a plane running through the first outer notch, which is parallel to the door leaf plane.

Durchstößt nun zum Beispiel ein Nagel in der ersten äußeren Kerbe die Wand des Kastens, so wird seine Spitze durch die schräg verlaufenden inneren Wände des kastenförmigen Schenkels in die zweite Kerbe geleitet und somit zwangsläufig ausgerichtet. Im nächsten Schritt durchschlägt der Nagel dann die der Türblattunterkante zugewandte Wandung des kastenförmigen Schenkels und dringt parallel zur Türblattebene in die Türblattunterkante ein. Durch die beiden in der ersten und zweiten Kerbe gebildeten Löcher wird der Nagel in seiner Richtung geführt und kann also in der Nähe der Türblattaußenseite bzw. in der Nähe der Führungsschiene der Bodendichtung eingeschlagen werden, ohne daß die Gefahr eines Schrägverlaufens und von Beschädigungen besteht.If, for example, a nail penetrates the wall of the box in the first outer notch, its tip is guided through the sloping inner walls of the box-shaped leg into the second notch and thus inevitably aligned. In the next step, the nail then penetrates the wall of the box-shaped leg facing the lower edge of the door leaf and penetrates the lower edge of the door leaf parallel to the level of the door leaf. Through the two holes formed in the first and second notch, the nail is guided in its direction and can therefore be hammered in near the outside of the door leaf or near the guide rail of the floor seal without the risk of skewing and damage.

Die zweite, innere Längskerbe hat vorteilhaft eine gewisse Tiefe gemäß Anspruch 5, damit die sie bildenden Schrägflächen eine ausreichende Führungswirkung für eine Nagelspitze oder dergleichen entfalten.The second, inner longitudinal notch advantageously has a certain depth, so that the inclined surfaces forming it develop a sufficient guiding effect for a nail tip or the like.

Eine zweckmäßige Bemessung der Höhe des kastenförmigen Schenkels ergibt sich aus Anspruch 6.An expedient dimensioning of the height of the box-shaped leg results from claim 6.

Weitere Einzelheiten, Merkmale und Vorteile der vorliegenden Erfindung im Rahmen der Ansprüche ergeben sich aus der nachfolgenden Beschreibung der zugehörigen Zeichnung. Es zeigen:

  • Fig. 1 einen Vertikalschnitt senkrecht zur Achse einer Bodendichtungsanordnung für eine Tür;
  • Fig. 2 einen entsprechenden Vertikalschnitt durch eine Bodendichtungsanordnung mit einer Führungsschiene, deren Schenkel kastenförmig ausgebildet sind;
  • Fig. 3 einen Vertikalschnitt entsprechend Fig. 2 während des Einschlagens eines Nagels.
Further details, features and advantages of the present invention within the scope of the claims result from the following description of the associated drawing. Show it:
  • Figure 1 is a vertical section perpendicular to the axis of a floor seal assembly for a door.
  • Figure 2 shows a corresponding vertical section through a bottom seal arrangement with a guide rail, the legs of which are box-shaped.
  • Fig. 3 is a vertical section corresponding to Fig. 2 while driving a nail.

Eine Tür weist eine in der Zeichnung insgesamt mit 100 bezeichnete Bodendichtungsanordnung auf, die aus einer im Strangpreßverfahren aus einem Aluminiumwerkstoff hergestellten Führungsschiene 2, aus einem als Ganzes mit 1 bezeichneten Dichtungskörper, der einen aus stranggepreßtem Profilmaterial bestehenden Dichtungsträger 3 und eine darunter befestigte elastische Dichtungsleiste 5 umfaßt, aus einer, die Heb- und Senkbewegung des Dichtungskörpers 1 quer und parallel zu sich selbst bewirkenden Betätigungsvorrichtung (nicht gezeigt) sowie aus zwei zwischen der Innenseite der Führungsschiene 2 und der Außenseite des Dichtungsträgers 3 abdichtenden des Lippenteilen 6 besteht.A door has a floor seal arrangement, designated in the drawing as a whole with 100, which consists of a guide rail 2 produced by extrusion from an aluminum material, from a seal body designated as a whole as 1, which has a seal carrier 3 consisting of extruded profile material and an elastic sealing strip 5 fastened underneath comprises, one, the lifting and lowering movement of the sealing body 1 transverse and parallel to self-actuating actuating device (not shown) and two between the inside of the guide rail 2 and the outside of the seal carrier 3 sealing the lip parts 6.

Alle diese Teile, eventuell mit Ausnahme der Betätigungsvorrichtung, erstrekken sich im wesentlichen über die gesamte Breite eines in den Fig. 1, 2 und 3 nur angedeuteten Türblatts T an dessen Unterkante 12. Türen aus Holz haben meist eine sich entlang der Unterkante 12 erstrekende Nut 13, in die die Führungsschiene 2 eingesetzt wird, so daß sie zwischen den Flanken der Nut 13 verschwindet. Beim Schließen der Tür bewirkt die Betätigungsvorrichtung das Ausfahren des Dichtungskörpers 1 nach unten in Richtung der eine Art Schwelle bildenden Schiene S auf dem Boden B, so daß die Dichtungsleiste 5 die Schiene S berührt und dadurch der Türspalt H geschlossen wird.All of these parts, possibly with the exception of the actuating device, extend essentially over the entire width of a door leaf T, which is only indicated in FIGS. 1, 2 and 3, on its lower edge 12. Wooden doors usually have a groove extending along the lower edge 12 13, in which the guide rail 2 is inserted so that it disappears between the flanks of the groove 13. When the door is closed, the actuating device causes the sealing body 1 to extend downward in the direction of the rail S forming a type of threshold on the floor B, so that the sealing strip 5 touches the rail S and the door gap H is thereby closed.

Die Führungsschiene 2 weist ein hutförmiges Querschnittsprofil mit einem im wesentlichen U-förmigen, in die Nut 13 eingreifenden Teil, aus dem die Dichtungsleiste 5 nach unten hervortritt, und mit zwei von den freien Rändern der U-Schenkel nach außen abgewinkelten flachen, d. h. die Materialstärke der Wandungen der Führungsschiene 2 besitzenden Schenkeln 7 auf, die sich gegen die Türblattunterkante 12 legen. Die beiden Schenkel 7 besitzen je eine Zone mit verringerter Materialstärke in Gestalt einer Längskerbe 8, in deren grund die Materialstärke so gering ist, daß der Schenkel 7 relativ leicht von einem Nagel, einer Schraube oder dergleichen durchstoßen werden kann. Zur Befestigung der Führungsschiene 2 werden nach Einsetzen derselben in die entsprechende Nut 13 in regelmäßigen Abständen zum Beispiel Nägel in die Längskerbe 8 gesetzt und dann senkrecht zu der Türunterkante 12 durch die im Grund der Längskerbe 8 verbleibende geringe Wandstärke hindurch in die Türblattunterkante 12 eingeschlagen. Da die Kerbe 8 in Längsrichtung entlang der Schenkel 7 durchgehend vorhanden ist, können die jeweiligen optimalen Positionen zum Durchschlagen der Befestigungsmittel unabhängig von der Türbreite ausgewählt werden.The guide rail 2 has a hat-shaped cross-sectional profile with a substantially U-shaped part engaging in the groove 13, from which the sealing strip 5 emerges downwards, and with two of the free edges of the U-legs on flat angled outward, ie the material thickness of the walls of the guide rail 2 have legs 7, which lie against the bottom edge 12 of the door leaf. The two legs 7 each have a zone with reduced material thickness in the form of a longitudinal notch 8, in the reason of which the material thickness is so small that the leg 7 can be relatively easily pierced by a nail, a screw or the like. To fasten the guide rail 2, after inserting it into the corresponding groove 13, for example, nails are placed in the longitudinal notch 8 at regular intervals and then hammered into the lower edge of the door leaf 12 perpendicular to the lower edge 12 of the door through the small wall thickness remaining in the base of the longitudinal notch 8. Since the notch 8 is present continuously in the longitudinal direction along the legs 7, the respective optimal positions for penetrating the fastening means can be selected independently of the door width.

In Fig. 2 ist eine Türblattunterkante 12 dargestellt, bei der im Unterschied zu Fig. 1 der herrschende Türspalt H deutlich größer ist. Es sind die seitlichen Schenkel 7' hierbei nicht flach, sondern in einer hohlen Kastenform ausgeführt. Die Gesamthöhe K der Führungsschiene 2 ist in beiden Fällen gleich. Das bedeutet, daß auch der große Türspalt H unter Verwendung der üblichen Mechanik und Befestigungsmittel geschlossen werden kann. Die Führungsschiene 2 steht jedoch um die Höhe I der kastenförmigen Schenkel 7' weiter nach unten vor. Somit ist die Einbautiefe der Führungsschiene in die Türblattunterkante 12 verringert.FIG. 2 shows a lower edge of the door leaf 12, in which, in contrast to FIG. 1, the prevailing door gap H is significantly larger. The side legs 7 'are not flat here, but rather have a hollow box shape. The total height K of the guide rail 2 is the same in both cases. This means that the large door gap H can be closed using the usual mechanics and fasteners. However, the guide rail 2 projects further downwards by the height I of the box-shaped legs 7 '. The installation depth of the guide rail in the lower edge of the door leaf 12 is thus reduced.

Zusätzlich gibt die Kastenform der Schenkel 7' der Dichtungsanordnung eine große Stabilität gegen seitlich wirkende Kräfte, die zum Beispiel durch Steine oder sonstige Hindernisse hervorgerufen werden. Diese Kräfte würden sonst zu einer Deformation und so zu einer Funktionsbeeinträchtigung der Dichtungsanordnung führen.In addition, the box shape of the legs 7 'of the sealing arrangement gives great stability against laterally acting forces which are caused, for example, by stones or other obstacles. These forces would otherwise lead to a deformation and thus to a functional impairment of the sealing arrangement.

Die äußeren Schenkel 7' weisen an ihrer Unterseite ebenfalls eine erste Zone verringerter Materialstärke in Gestalt einer Längskerbe 8 auf, die durch eine zweite Zone verringerter Materialstärke in Gestalt einer an der Innenseite der der Türblattunterkante 12 zugewandten Wandung 17 des kastenförmigen Schenkels 7' angebrachten Längskerbe 11, die sich also im Inneren des Kastens befindet, ergänzt wird. Die Innenseite der Seitenwandungen 14, 15 gehen gegen die Türblattunterkante 12 bei in aufeinander zu verlaufenden Schrägflächen 9, 10 über, die die Kerbe 11 bilden. Die Kerbe 11 hat eine ziemlich große Tiefe L, die indem Ausführungsbeispiel etwa 30% der Höhe des Innenraums des kastenförmigen Schenkels 7' - senkrecht zur Türunterkante 12 gemessen - beträgt. In dem Ausführungsbeispiel ist außerdem die Schrägfläche 9 ausgedehnter als die Schrägfläche 10, so daß sich in der der Führungsschiene 2 und der Türblattunterkante 12 benachbarten Querschnittecke des kastenförmigen Schenkels 7' ein größeres Querschnittsdreieck ergibt, was aus Gründen der Stabilität gegen seitliche Beanspruchungen erwünscht ist.The outer legs 7 'also have on their underside a first zone of reduced material thickness in the form of a longitudinal notch 8, which, due to a second zone of reduced material thickness in the form of a wall 17 of the box-shaped leg 7' on the inside of the lower edge of the door leaf 12 ', is provided , which is located inside the box. The inside of the side walls 14, 15 merges with the lower edge of the door leaf 12 in the case of inclined surfaces 9, 10 which run towards one another and which form the notch 11. The notch 11 has a rather large depth L, which in the exemplary embodiment is approximately 30% of the height of the interior of the box-shaped leg 7 ′ - measured perpendicular to the lower edge 12 of the door. In the exemplary embodiment, the inclined surface 9 is also more extensive than the inclined surface 10, so that there is a larger cross-sectional triangle in the cross-sectional corner of the box-shaped leg 7 'adjacent to the guide rail 2 and the lower edge of the door leaf 12, which is desirable for reasons of stability against lateral loads.

Die Längskerben 8 und 11 liegen im übrigen in einer zur Türblattebene parallelen Ebene A.The longitudinal notches 8 and 11 lie in a plane A parallel to the door leaf plane.

Beim Einschlagen eines Nagels in die Längskerbe 8 durchstößt er die untere Wandung 16 des kastenförmigen Schenkels 7'. Daraufhin wird er an seiner Spitze durch die gegen die Türblattunterkante 12 hin aufeinander zu verlaufenden Schrägflächen 9 und 10 in die Kerbe 11 geleitet, wie in Fig. 3 dargestellt. Durch die erhebliche Tiefe L der Längskerbe 11 wird die Spitze des Nagels N frühzeitig erfaßt und entlang den Schrägflächen 9, 10 zwangsläufig gegen den Grund der Kerbe 11 dirigiert. Obwohl also die Längskerbe 11 von außen nicht zu sehen ist, trifft der Nagel von selbst die richtige Stelle und gelangt in die richtige Position. Nun kann durch einen zweiten Schlag der Nagel N die zweite der Unterkante 12 zugewandten Wandung 17 des kastenförmigen Schenkels 7' in der Kerbe 11 durchschlagen und somit entlang der Ebene A in die Türblattunterkante 12 der Tür T eindringen. Somit wird gewährleistet, daß der Nagel N, immer parallel zu den Außenseiten der Führungsschiene 2 in die Türblattunterkante 12 eintritt, wodurch Beschädigungen sowohl der Mechanik als auch der Tür verhindert werden.When driving a nail into the longitudinal notch 8, it pierces the lower wall 16 of the box-shaped leg 7 '. Thereupon it is guided at its tip into the notch 11 through the inclined surfaces 9 and 10 which run towards the lower edge of the door leaf 12, as shown in FIG. 3. Due to the considerable depth L of the longitudinal notch 11, the tip of the nail N is detected at an early stage and inevitably directed along the inclined surfaces 9, 10 against the base of the notch 11. Thus, although the longitudinal notch 11 cannot be seen from the outside, the nail automatically hits the right place and comes into the right position. Now, by a second blow, the nail N can penetrate the second wall 17 of the box-shaped leg 7 ′ facing the lower edge 12 in the notch 11 and thus penetrate along the plane A into the lower edge 12 of the door leaf T of the door T. This ensures that The nail N always enters the lower edge of the door leaf 12 parallel to the outer sides of the guide rail 2, thereby preventing damage to both the mechanics and the door.
