Description

Die Erfindung betrifft einen Beschlag mit einer Dichtung gemäß der im Oberbegriff des Patentanspruches 1 angegebenen Art.The invention relates to a fitting with a seal according to the specified in the preamble of claim 1. Art.

Derartige Beschläge dienen beispielsweise als Widerlager oder sind integrale Bestandteile eines Scharniers, Gelenkes o. ä. bzw. Türschilder von Drückergarnituren oder Rosetten. Der Beschlag ist an seiner der Anlagefläche, beispielsweise eine Glaswand, eine Duschkabine, eine Tür, an der der Beschlag anliegt, zugewandten Seite mit einer Dichtung versehen. Unter anderem dient die Dichtung dazu, dass sich keine Feuchtigkeit zwischen Beschlag und Anlagefläche ansammelt, da dies zum einen nicht ästhetisch ist und zum anderen zu Kalkflecken, Schimmelbildung u. ä. führt.Such fittings are used for example as an abutment or are integral parts of a hinge, joint o. Ä. And door signs of lever handles or rosettes. The fitting is provided on its contact surface, such as a glass wall, a shower cubicle, a door on which the fitting is applied, facing side with a seal. Among other things, the seal is used to ensure that no moisture accumulates between the fitting and contact surface, as this is not aesthetically, on the one hand and limescale, mold and u. Ä. leads.

Eine Dichtung der vorgenannten Art ist beispielsweise der DE 43 22 567 C1 zu entnehmen.A seal of the aforementioned type is for example the DE 43 22 567 C1 refer to.

In der US 4,588,652 wird ein Band oder Scharnier für Container beschrieben, das an dem zu bewegenden Flügel angeschweißt wird. Die Dichtung dichtet die nicht verschweißte Seite des Bandlappens ab.In the US 4,588,652 a belt or hinge for containers is described, which is welded to the wing to be moved. The seal seals the unwelded side of the hinge.

Die DE 19609624 A1 beschreibt ein Gebäudefenster oder Tür mit den zugehörigen Rahmenaufbauten. Dabei werden verschiedene Dichtungen verwendet, die den Rahmen zur Tür oder Fenster oder die Glasscheibe innerhalb des Profils fassen und abdichten sollen.The DE 19609624 A1 describes a building window or door with the associated frame structures. Various gaskets are used to grasp and seal the frame to the door or window or the glass sheet inside the profile.

Die DE 9401328 U1 beschreibt die Aufnahme von Dichtungen in Nuten zur Abdichtung von Spalten zwischen einem Rahmen und dem Rahmen zugeordneten Baugruppen.The DE 9401328 U1 describes the inclusion of seals in grooves for sealing gaps between assemblies associated with a frame and the frame.

Problematisch bei den bekannten Beschlägen mit Dichtungen ist jedoch die Herstellung. Bei glatten, insbesondere transparenten Flächen muss die Dichtung gleichförmig ausgeführt und in den Beschlag eingebaut werden, um über den gesamten Dichtungsverlauf eine gleiche Dichtungsqualität zu erreichen. Des Weiteren soll das ästhetische Erscheinungsbild nicht beeinträchtigt werden, was vor allem durch eine gleichförmige Ausführung der Dichtung ermöglicht wird. Mit den bekannten Herstellungsverfahren sind diese Anforderungen jedoch kaum zu realisieren. Die Dichtung wird in der Regel von Hand in eine Aufnahme eingeklemmt. Da sowohl infolge der Herstellung der Dichtung als auch infolge der Herstellung der Aufnahme im Beschlag Toleranzen vorhanden sind, führt dies zur Verformung der Dichtung als auch zu unterschiedlichen Dichtungsqualitäten über den Verlauf der Dichtung, wenn die Dichtung mit dem Beschlag verbunden wird. Aus diesem Grunde wird vielfach in den Hohlraum eine nicht transparente Zwischenplatte als Glasschutz zwischen Beschlag und Glasscheibe eingebracht, damit die Feuchtigkeit sich nicht auf der Glasscheibe ansammeln kann und das ästhetische Empfinden nicht gestört wird.However, the problem with the known fittings with seals is the production. For smooth, especially transparent surfaces, the seal must be made uniform and installed in the fitting to achieve the same seal quality over the entire course of the seal. Furthermore, the aesthetic appearance should not be affected, which is made possible above all by a uniform design of the seal. However, these requirements can hardly be realized with the known production methods. The seal is usually clamped by hand into a receptacle. Since there are tolerances both as a result of the manufacture of the seal and as a result of the manufacture of the receptacle in the fitting, this leads to deformation of the seal as well as to different sealing qualities over the course of the seal when the seal is connected to the fitting. For this reason, a non-transparent intermediate plate is often introduced into the cavity as a glass protection between fitting and glass so that the moisture can not accumulate on the glass and the aesthetic feeling is not disturbed.

Der Erfindung liegt die Aufgabe zugrunde, einen Beschlag gemäß der im Oberbegriff des Anspruches 1 angegebenen Art derart weiterzubilden, dass bei einfacher Konstruktion unter Vermeidung der genannten Nachteile eine hohe Dichtungsqualität erreicht wird.The invention has the object of providing a fitting according to the type specified in the preamble of claim 1 such that a simple design while avoiding the disadvantages mentioned a high seal quality is achieved.

Diese Aufgabe wird durch die kennzeichnenden Merkmale des Anspruches 1 in Verbindung mit seinen Oberbegriffsmerkmalen gelöst.This object is solved by the characterizing features of claim 1 in conjunction with its preamble features.

Die Unteransprüche bilden vorteilhafte Weiterbildungen der Erfindung.The dependent claims form advantageous developments of the invention.

Der Erfindung liegt die Erkenntnis zugrunde, dass sich durch das Verbinden der Dichtung mit dem Beschlag im plastischen Zustand vielfältige Formgebungsmöglichkeiten ergeben und die Toleranzen minimiert werden können. Beispielsweise können die Toleranzen der Aufnahme (Beschlag) durch Einbringen von zusätzlichem Dichtungsmaterial einfach ausgeglichen werden.The invention is based on the finding that the bonding of the seal with the fitting in the plastic state results in a variety of shaping possibilities and that the tolerances can be minimized. For example, the tolerances of the recording (fitting) be easily compensated by introducing additional sealing material.

Nach der Erfindung ist die Dichtung in dem Beschlag in einer Nut verankert und weist insbesondere Hinterschneidungen hierfür auf. Hierdurch wird die Verbindungsqualität der Dichtung mit dem Beschlag erhöht, so dass diese auch bei mechanischer Einwirkung sicher im Beschlag verankert ist. Dies ist insbesondere bei der Montage wichtig, um zu vermeiden, dass sich die Dichtung vom Beschlag löst.According to the invention, the seal is anchored in the fitting in a groove and has in particular undercuts for this purpose. As a result, the connection quality of the seal is increased with the fitting, so that it is securely anchored in the fitting even under mechanical impact. This is particularly important during assembly to avoid that the seal detaches from the fitting.

Damit der Raum zwischen Beschlag und Anlagefläche vollständig abgedichtet werden kann, umgreift die Dichtung den Außenrand des Beschlags mit einem Außenteil.So that the space between fitting and contact surface can be completely sealed, the seal surrounds the outer edge of the fitting with an outer part.

In vorteilhafter Ausgestaltungsform kann das Außenteil auch in eine Ausnehmung am Rand des Beschlags eingreifen. Aus ästhetischen Gründen schließt insbesondere das Außenteil mit der anschließenden Außenfläche des Beschlags bündig ab.In an advantageous embodiment, the outer part can also engage in a recess on the edge of the fitting. For aesthetic reasons, in particular the outer part is flush with the adjoining outer surface of the fitting.

Vorzugsweise ist dabei die Dichtung aus einem Kunststoff, insbesondere einem Elastomer, gebildet, da dieser sich ohne weiteres durch Druck und Hitze in einen plastischen Zustand überführen lässt und mit unterschiedlichsten Beschlagmaterialien verbinden lässt.Preferably, the seal is made of a plastic, in particular an elastomer, formed, since this can be easily converted by pressure and heat in a plastic state and can connect with a variety of fittings.

Vorzugsweise ist eine schwalbenschwanzförmige Nut vorgesehen, in die die Dichtung eingreift. Derartige Formgebungen waren bisher nur möglich, wenn auf die gleichmäßige Dichtungsform über den Verlauf der Dichtung ein nicht zu großer Wert gelegt wurde. Durch das Einbringen in plastischer Form kann aber auch bei dieser Ausführung nun eine hohe Dichtungsqualität erreicht werden.Preferably, a dovetail-shaped groove is provided, in which engages the seal. Forms of this kind have hitherto only been possible if the uniform shape of the seal over the course of the seal was not set too high. By introducing it into plastic form, however, a high sealing quality can now also be achieved in this embodiment.

Um eine einfache Herstellung zu gewährleisten, ist die Dichtung durch Spritzgießen oder Spritzpressen mit dem Beschlag verbunden und in Form gebracht.To ensure easy production, the seal is connected by injection molding or transfer molding with the fitting and brought into shape.

Alternativ hierzu kann die Dichtung auch durch ein Schäumverfahren mit dem Beschlag verbunden und in Form gebracht sein, je nach Anforderung und Anwendungsbereich des Beschlags und der Dichtung.Alternatively, the seal may also be connected and shaped by a foaming process, depending on the requirements and application of the fitting and the seal.

Damit insbesondere ein leichter und einfach herzustellender Beschlag gewährleistet wird, besteht dieser aus Kunststoff, insbesondere Polyamid. Der Beschlag und die Dichtung können nun in einem Verfahren hergestellt werden, ohne dass der Beschlag extra der Werkzeugmaschine zugeführt werden muss. Beispielsweise in der Spritzpressmaschine wird zunächst der Beschlag gefertigt, anschließend das Werkzeug gewechselt und gleich darauf die Dichtung aus einem elastischen Material in den Beschlag eingebracht. Grundsätzlich ist es aber auch möglich, den Beschlag oder das Beschlagteil aus jedem Material zu fertigen.So that in particular a lightweight and easy to produce fitting is ensured, this consists of plastic, especially polyamide. The fitting and the seal can now be produced in one process without the need for the fitting to be supplied to the machine tool separately. For example, in the transfer molding machine, the fitting is first made, then the tool changed and immediately thereafter introduced the seal made of an elastic material in the fitting. In principle, however, it is also possible to manufacture the fitting or the fitting part from any material.

In Fig. 1 ist eine Hälfte eines zum Stand der Technik gehörenden Beschlages 10 in Form eines Bandlappens mit einer Dichtung 12 an einer Glasscheibe 14 dargestellt. Die Glasscheibe 14 ist z. B. Teil einer Duschtür oder Kabine, die über eine Schraube 16, die in ein entsprechendes Gewinde 18 im Beschlag 10 eingreift, mit dem Beschlag verbunden ist. Das Gewinde 18 ist in einen Gewindeblock 20, der fest im Beschlag 10 angeordnet ist, eingebracht.In Fig. 1 is one half of a prior art fitting 10 in the form of a hinge plate with a seal 12 on a glass pane 14 is shown. The glass sheet 14 is z. As part of a shower door or cabin, which is connected via a screw 16 which engages in a corresponding thread 18 in the fitting 10, with the fitting. The thread 18 is in a threaded block 20 which is fixedly arranged in the fitting 10, introduced.

Die Glasscheibe 14 weist zum Durchtritt der Schraube 16 eine Bohrung 22 auf. Ein Kopf 24 der Schraube 16 schließt bündig mit einem Lageraufsatz 26 ab.The glass pane 14 has a bore 22 for the passage of the screw 16. A head 24 of the screw 16 is flush with a bearing cap 26.

Der Beschlag 10 ist einer Anlagefläche 28 der Glasscheibe 14 zugeordnet und weist eine parallel zur Glasscheibe 14 verlaufende Wandung 30 auf. Auf der Wandung 30 ist auf der der Glasscheibe 14 und somit der Anlagefläche 28 zugewandten Seite in einem Randbereich 36 des Beschlages 10 umlaufend die Dichtung 12 eingebracht. Die Dichtung 12 schließt einen Zwischenraum 32 zwischen der Wandung 30 des Beschlages 10 und der Anlagefläche 28 der Glasscheibe 14 vollständig ab. Der Beschlag 10 ist Teil eines die Glasscheibe 14 mit einer Duschkabinenkonstruktion verbindenden Bandes. Über dieses Band kann die durch die Glasscheibe 14 gebildete Glastür verschwenkt und somit geöffnet und geschlossen werden.The fitting 10 is associated with a contact surface 28 of the glass pane 14 and has a parallel to the glass pane 14 extending wall 30. On the wall 30 on the glass pane 14 and thus the contact surface 28 side facing in a peripheral region 36 of the fitting 10 circumferentially the seal 12 is introduced. The seal 12 closes a gap 32 between the wall 30 of the fitting 10 and the contact surface 28 of the glass 14 completely. The fitting 10 is part of a band connecting the glass pane 14 with a shower cubicle construction. About this band can the pivoted through the glass pane 14 glass door and thus opened and closed.

Die Dichtung 12 nach Fig. 1 ist im Querschnitt rechteckig ausgebildet. Die Dichtung 12 wurde im plastischen Zustand durch Spritzpressen auf die Wandung 30 aufgebracht und geformt. Sie hat dadurch eine feste Verbindung mit dem Beschlag 10 und ihre rechteckige Form erhalten.The seal 12 after Fig. 1 is rectangular in cross-section. The seal 12 was applied in the plastic state by transfer molding on the wall 30 and formed. It has thereby obtained a firm connection with the fitting 10 and its rectangular shape.

In Fig. 2 ist eine erfindungsgemäße erste Ausführungsform als Querschnittsansicht eines Beschlages 10 dargestellt. Der Beschlag 10 ist dabei ebenfalls über die Schraube 16 mit der Glasscheibe 14 verbunden, jedoch ist dies aus Gründen der Übersichtlichkeit nicht dargestellt. Während der Beschlag 10 in Fig. 2 als metallische Konstruktion ausgeführt ist, ist der Beschlag gemäß Fig. 1 aus Kunststoff, nämlich Polyamid, gebildet. In die vollwandige Wandung des Beschlags 10, die die Funktion des Gewindeblocks 20 von Fig. 1 übernimmt, ist ebenfalls die Gewindebohrung 18 eingebracht.In Fig. 2 a first embodiment according to the invention is shown as a cross-sectional view of a fitting 10. The fitting 10 is also connected via the screw 16 with the glass pane 14, but this is not shown for reasons of clarity. While fitting 10 in Fig. 2 is designed as a metallic construction, the fitting is according to Fig. 1 made of plastic, namely polyamide. In the solid wall of the fitting 10, the function of the threaded block 20 of Fig. 1 takes over, also the threaded hole 18 is introduced.

Die Wandung 30 weist erfindungsgemäß eine zur Glasscheibe 14 offene Nut 34 auf. In diese Nut 34 greift die Dichtung 12 ein und umgreift den Randbereich 36 des Beschlages 10. Im Teilschnitt ist dies in Fig. 5 dargestellt. Hierdurch wird deutlich, dass aufgrund der Verbindungstechnik Dichtung-Beschlag vollkommen neue Dichtungsformen möglich sind, insbesondere Hinterschnitte.According to the invention, the wall 30 has a groove 34 which is open towards the glass pane 14. In this groove 34, the gasket 12 engages and surrounds the edge region 36 of the fitting 10. In the partial section, this is in Fig. 5 shown. This makes it clear that due to the connection technology seal fitting completely new seal shapes are possible, especially undercuts.

Die Dichtung 12 besteht aus einem T-förmigen Bereich 38 und einem im Schnitt L-förmigen äußeren Bereich 40. Der L-förmige äußere Bereich 40 ist an die Außenkontur angepasst und umgreift den Randbereich des Beschlags. Der T-förmige Bereich 38 greift in die Nut 34 ein.The seal 12 consists of a T-shaped portion 38 and a sectionally L-shaped outer portion 40. The L-shaped outer portion 40 is adapted to the outer contour and surrounds the edge region of the fitting. The T-shaped area 38 engages in the groove 34.

In Fig. 3 ist die Nut 34 schwalbenschwanzförmig ausgebildet und die Dichtung 12 umgreift dieses Mal nicht den Randbereich 34 des Beschlages 10, sondern ist lediglich T-förmig ausgeführt, besteht also nur aus dem T-förmigen Bereich 38.In Fig. 3 the groove 34 is dovetail-shaped and the seal 12 this time does not surround the edge region 34 of the fitting 10, but is merely T-shaped, so there is only the T-shaped area 38th

In Fig. 4 ist der anhand von Fig. 3 beschriebene Beschlag 10 in Form eines Bandes aufgeklappt mit beiden Hälften 42 und 44 in der Draufsicht dargestellt, ohne mit der Glasscheibe und der Duschkabinenkonstruktion verbunden zu sein. Die Dichtung 12 verläuft umlaufend im Randbereich 36 an der jeweiligen Wandung 30, sodass der Zwischenraum 32 vollständig abgedichtet ist, wenn der Beschlag 10 an der Anlagefäche 28 der Glasscheibe 14 anliegt. In die Gewindebohrung 18 kann die Schraube 16 einfach eingebracht werden. Über eine Schwenkachse 46 sind die beiden Hälften 42, 44 des Beschlages 10 zueinander verschwenkbar und somit die Glastür in Form der Glasscheibe 14 gegenüber der Duschkabinenkonstruktion, die hier nicht dargestellt ist. Statt einer Duschkabine kann die Konstruktion auch aus einer Glastür und einem feststehenden Seitenteil bestehen.In Fig. 4 is the basis of Fig. 3 described fitting 10 in the form of a tape unfolded with two halves 42 and 44 shown in plan view, without being connected to the glass and shower cubicle construction. The seal 12 extends circumferentially in the edge region 36 on the respective wall 30, so that the gap 32 is completely sealed when the fitting 10 rests against the contact surface 28 of the glass pane 14. In the threaded hole 18, the screw 16 can be easily inserted. About a pivot axis 46, the two halves 42, 44 of the fitting 10 are pivotable relative to each other and thus the glass door in the form of glass 14 opposite the shower cubicle construction, which is not shown here. Instead of a shower cubicle, the construction can also consist of a glass door and a fixed side part.

Aus Fig. 6 ist eine erfindungsgemäße zweite Ausführungsform in einer Querschnittsansicht eine ähnliche Dichtungsform wie in Fig. 3 und 4 dargestellt. An den T-förmigen Bereich 38 schließt sich ein L-förmiger Bereich 40 an, der den Randbereich 34 des Beschlags 10 umgreift. Die Nut 34 ist wieder im Schnitt schwalbenschwanzförmig ausgebildet.Out Fig. 6 is a second embodiment according to the invention in a cross-sectional view of a similar sealing form as in Fig. 3 and 4 shown. The T-shaped region 38 is adjoined by an L-shaped region 40, which surrounds the edge region 34 of the fitting 10. The groove 34 is again dovetailed in section.

Damit ein bündiger Abschluss zwischen Dichtung 12 und Beschlag 10 gewährleistet werden kann, ist nach einer dritten Ausführungsform eine weitere Nut 48 im Randbereich 36 des Beschlags 10 eingebracht, siehe Fig. 7. Beispielsweise durch das Spritzpressen füllt die Dichtung 12 die Nuten 34 und 48 vollständig aus, die Toleranzen werden ausgeglichen und die Dichtung 12 wird über Hinterschnitte, wie die Schwalbenschwanzführung, nicht nur kraft- sondern auch formschlüssig mit dem Beschlag 10 verbunden.In order for a flush closure between the seal 12 and fitting 10 can be ensured, according to a third embodiment, a further groove 48 is introduced in the edge region 36 of the fitting 10, see Fig. 7 , For example, by the transfer molding, the seal 12 fills the grooves 34 and 48 completely, the tolerances are compensated and the seal 12 is connected via undercuts, such as the dovetail guide, not only force but also form-fitting with the fitting 10.

Durch die unterschiedlichen Formen der Dichtung 12 und die unterschiedlichen Ausbildungen der Nuten 34 und 48 kann den unterschiedlichen Einsatzbedingungen Rechnung getragen und die Dichtung 12 fest mit dem Beschlag 10 verbunden werden. Hierbei ist nicht nur eine kraftschlüssige Verbindung durch Abbinden des plastischen Kunststoffes, sondern auch eine formschlüssige Verbindung durch Vorsehen eines Hinterschnitts oder mehrerer Hinterschnitte, beispielsweise eines Schwalbenschwanzquerschnitts, auf einfache Weise möglich.Due to the different shapes of the seal 12 and the different configurations of the grooves 34 and 48, the different operating conditions are taken into account and the seal 12 are firmly connected to the fitting 10. Here, not only a frictional connection by setting the plastic plastic, but also a positive connection by providing an undercut or a plurality of undercuts, for example, a dovetail cross-section, in a simple manner possible.
