Definitions

  • the invention relates to a front door with a frame with an attached therein Filling, which by means of several hinges on a door frame or -frame is rotatably attached or attachable.
  • Such fastening systems are known and are used, for example, in front doors used in the form of light insect screens.
  • a fiberglass fabric is used as the filling or a fabric covering used to penetrate To prevent insects from entering the house.
  • Such front doors are common attached to the outside of the door frame or door frame and allow the problem-free opening of the front door to the inside. At the same time protects the outside front door against flying insects.
  • the one on the outside can Frame can be swung open.
  • the frame points to one On the long side there are several hinges that are used to fasten the frame serve on the door or window frame. After going through the door can be closed again. It has been shown in practice that children often forget to close the door, so the protective function against insects. It can also happen that the door is ajar, but not completely on the door frame or frame rests so that a narrow opening gap remains that it insects allows to get into the house.
  • the invention is therefore based on the problem of a front door at the beginning specified type that avoids the disadvantages mentioned and in particular ensures that the door closes securely.
  • the front door that between the frame and the door frame or frame at least a spring element is attached or attachable that when opening the front door is twisted and with the door released by the action of in the spring element stored energy closes the front door automatically. In this way a completely automatic closing of the front door is achieved, even if the user forgets to close the door.
  • the spring element is designed as a torsion bar and with its first end section rotatably with the frame of the front door and with its second end section rotatably with the door frame or frame is connected or connectable.
  • a torsion bar creates a particularly space-saving structure.
  • the torsion bar is in the Attached near the axis of rotation of the front door so that the longitudinal axis of the torsion bar is arranged essentially parallel to the axis of rotation of the front door. This has the advantage of a very small space requirement and a small one Installation depth. This feature is particularly important because such doors are very can often be closed on the outside by a roller blind.
  • the front door together the torsion bar must therefore be particularly space-saving to the Allow closing of a blind or blind. Accordingly the rotary movement of the front door in the front door according to the invention a torsional movement of the torsion bar is converted. In contrast to known ones Door closers in the front door according to the invention are the installation depth not increased.
  • the torsion bar expediently has at least outside its end sections a round cross-section.

  • a fastening system is, for example known from the subsequently published patent application DE 199 61 980.8.
  • the second receiving fitting arranged on the door frame or frame fixed, for example screwed to the frame.
  • the torsion bar at each end section of the torsion bar two mutually parallel surfaces formed by reshaping are in correspondingly oppositely shaped insertion openings of the receiving fittings are insertable. This forming process is necessary so the torsion bar can transmit a torque.
  • the two parallel surfaces are to be understood as examples, but the invention is not restricted to them. It further modifications are conceivable, the torsion bar can e.g. B. at its ends also be square or star-shaped and fit accordingly Receptacle fittings can be inserted.
  • the use of two parallel to each other Surfaces also offers the advantage of being easy to manufacture.
  • the torsion bar is twisted when the door is opened and then turns back to its original position with the door released. by virtue of of friction losses in the hinges and due to the material damping However, it can happen that the front door after the end of the closing movement is not yet fully closed.
  • the torsion bar therefore mountable under a preload.
  • front doors are preferred in which the parallel surfaces of the first End portion of the torsion bar opposite to that of the second end portion with respect to the longitudinal axis of the torsion bar by a certain angle of rotation are twisted.
  • This angle of rotation is used in the manufacture of the torsion bar the forming process is taken into account.
  • the torsion bar can closed door so that there is a closing moment on the door Front door exercises.
  • a certain amount of pre-tension acts on the front door, which, even with lighter gusts of wind, opens the front door unintentionally prevented.
  • Rotation angles that are between 5 ° and 20 ° are particularly favorable, preferably a rotation angle of 10 ° is selected.
  • the specification of the angle of rotation depends of course on the diameter and length of the torsion bar.
  • the mentioned angles of rotation refer to a diameter of 3 mm and a torsion bar length of 700 mm. If you deviate from these parameters, the angle of rotation must be adjusted accordingly.
  • the spring constant of the Torsion bar can be by its length or by choosing another one Cross-section can be set. For larger or heavier front doors also use a correspondingly stronger torsion bar.
  • a maximum opening angle can be achieved with the front door according to the invention from 110 ° to 130 °, with an opening angle of 120 ° being preferred.
  • the torsion bar In terms of corrosion resistance, it is recommended to use the torsion bar to produce from steel, in particular from a stainless steel.
  • a light metal alloy can be used for the fitting fittings.
