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 device which can be moved, in particular, overhead Tilting or swinging arm for the protective sealing and / or covering of a Intermediate or transition area between two movable relative to each other Partial elements of the tilting or swing gate, in particular an intermediate area between the frame and the door leaf or between the frame and one Swing or rocker arm mechanism. In addition, the invention relates to such Tilting or swinging gate having a protective device, in particular a single-leaf overhead door, comprising a frame and a pivotable or tiltable therein and in particular Door leaf kept moveable overhead.

Protective devices of the type mentioned at the outset exist, for example, in known ones Tilting or swinging gates in the form of a contact strip attached to the door leaf directed, especially the frame sides running parallel to the reveal are attached to grind the movement of the door leaf or the Frame and the door leaf in front of grinding or caused by the movement of the door leaf Protect shock marks. Another example of a known protective device are stop bars, especially on the side areas of the frame are arranged as a stop for the door leaf and the gate gap, i.e. the intermediate area cover between the door leaf and frame when the door is closed and thus in a way a protection against weather influences and penetration of Provide dirt or the like. In recent times, however, not only protection of the door itself against influences that impair quality or the by covering (and in particular by insulation or sealing) Protection against the effects of the weather is very important, it is also particularly important with regard to product liability, the detection and avoidance itself only if the door is used with improper handling People more and more important. So tilting and swinging gates should not only be Protect from wind and weather and keep it for a long time Avoid danger to people in the vicinity.

The object of the invention is to provide a protective device of the type mentioned to create, which reduces the risk posed by the operation of the gate. Furthermore, a safer tilting or swinging arm is to be created.

To solve this problem, a protective device with the features of the attached Claim 1 provided.

The protective device thus has a more rigid part, the support or support element, with which they are in particular on the frame, the door leaf or any other movable part of the gate, e.g. the rocker arm or rocker arm mechanism, is attached and that other functions such as a cover to protect against mechanical stress or interference, in particular by Fingers or the like. In addition to this more rigid part, the Protective device a compliant part in the form of a protruding protective lip or -strip element, which in particular sealing functions, but also additionally or can alternatively perform covering functions to protect against tampering. The Compliancy is provided by a movable suspension, or preferably by Selection of a softer or more elastic material guaranteed. It is on it to ensure that the protective strip or protective lip element foreign objects itself in the space between the sub-elements movable relative to each other can avoid. So is a person's finger e.g. in the to be sealed or intermediate area to be covered, so in the course of each other to move the sub-elements first the protective lip or -bar element grasp the finger, but do not squeeze it, but due to it to dodge its compliance. This can cause injuries from Avoid people in the swiveling or tilting area of the gate, and the risk of crushing can be reduced.

The basic idea of the invention is essentially for two purposes at the gate Particularly advantageous: on the one hand to cover or seal the gate gap between Frame and door leaf or on the other hand to cover a pivot lever mechanism, in both cases a finger intervention, if not avoided, is so should be made harmless (for fingers still engaging).

Accordingly, there are two particularly preferred basic embodiments of the invention. A first basic configuration is in the form of one or more Sealing strips in particular instead of or in addition to the or the usual Frame side rails or side door leaf edges of existing grinding strip (s) provided, in a particularly advantageous embodiment of the invention the support or support element also fulfills the function of the contact strip. One here the second basic embodiment in the foreground is a cover cap or cover for the swivel lever mechanism, in particular for the area where the counterbalance spring engages and which The door leaf closing movement approaches the frame. Of course, there is also one Protection device conceivable that both the sealing strip (s) according to the invention as also one or more cover shells or caps according to the invention as individual Includes partial elements and thus the advantages of the two basic configurations connects with each other.

Advantageous embodiments of the invention are the subject of the dependent claims.

An embodiment in which the protective device mixes materials is particularly advantageous has, so to speak, consists of two components. Accordingly, there is in a preferred embodiment of the invention, the support or support element from a first, the more rigid material, while the attached protective lip or - last element consists of a second material or such to ensure its compliance. The second material is included more flexible than the first material, in particular elastic or softer. It is particularly advantageous if related materials such as Example hard and soft rubber (hard rubber and rubber) or hard and soft PVC or the like can be used, which produce together or Have it processed, for example, let it extrude together. on the other hand however, many other material composites are also conceivable. For example, for that Support or support element metal are used on the (soft) rubber lips or (soft) PVC strips or the like glued, injection molded or otherwise be attached protruding.

The first basic embodiment of the invention, the sealing strip according to the invention, is designed in a preferred embodiment as a profile strip, for example essentially with L or Z-shaped cross section. This forms a first profile section of which, for example the main web of the L-shaped cross section, the support or Support element, wherein a second profile section protruding therefrom the protective lip element forms. The second profile section, which in the example of the L-shaped Cross-section can be formed by the short leg is in particular as Sealing lip or stop lug executed for the other partial element, wherein the sealing lip or stop lug preferably made of such compliant material is to avoid a finger instead of squeezing it, e.g. him soft wraps. In addition to the protective function for those in the intermediate area Fingers (or an entire hand or another foreign body) the protective lip element in its design as a sealing lip naturally also Sealing functions, i.e. it covers the gap in a sealing manner or has a sealing effect in this one. 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 is also suitable for applications in which it has no finger protection function Fulfills. In principle, although this is preferred, not the entire second profile section consist of the softer material. It is e.g. For Finger protection is also sufficient if an end area or a connection area consists of such material, as long as this results in a deflection of the protective lip element can be guaranteed in the event of finger intervention or the like.

The first profile section, which forms the supporting or supporting element, can be fastened the sealing strip on the frame or the door leaf can be designed differently. Advantageously, it comprises a load-bearing, straight, in particular strip-shaped Piece e.g. the wide profile web of an essentially L-shaped sealing strip, from which, in addition to the protective lip element, a fastening section also projects, with the help of which the sealing strip can be attached to the door leaf or frame is.

In a further advantageous embodiment, the for attaching Contact strips used on the frame usual holding grooves, then the fastening section for engaging in one, usually on the one parallel to the reveal, existing groove formed the door face facing the door face is. On the other hand, the frame or the door leaf can also be used in other places Retaining grooves are provided for fastening the sealing strip according to the invention, e.g. e.g. on the frame side pointing into the interior of the room to be locked, the fastening section then being designed accordingly.

In addition to or instead of one for (especially latching or jamming) Engagement in retaining grooves formed fastening section can also be another or further fastening section can be provided, which is located on an edge of the Gate part element on which the sealing strip is to be fastened, supported or encompasses it. The encompassing fastening section can in particular be made longer be and with screws or similar fasteners on the frame or the door leaf are fixed, in which case the groove engagement is also completely eliminated can. The entire sealing strip can be Z-shaped, wherein preferably the sealing or stop lip at one end and a fastening section at the other end of the load-bearing center piece into different ones Get directions.

The encompassing free end region of the fastening section can therefore again must also be specified. So are screw connections, bonds, rivets and the same more conceivable. In a further preferred embodiment of the gate part element, to which the sealing strip is to be attached, protruding devices such as bearing 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 the free end of the encompassing fastening section introduced and possibly jammed in it.

In the second basic embodiment of the Invention in which the protective device is a cover for the at least partially Cover of the swivel or rocker arm mechanism is or has, this is preferred directly on the swivel or rocker arm or thus for joint movement connected parts attachable. The preferably in the form of a cap or Shell present cover further preferably includes a support or main body made of metal or the like resistant first material. Also the In a preferred embodiment, the main body has a profiled shape, which depends on Protective function can take various forms. 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 protruding profile legs reached.

The end regions of the legs or other points in particular to the frame Edge areas of the cover are preferred than those of the invention Protective strip elements are formed, i.e. held so resiliently that a Finger or hand area close to the frame before being injured these edge areas is protected. They consist in particular of (Soft) rubber or (soft) PVC or the like.

In a further preferred embodiment, the cover is at one end Swivel lever or an existing lever arm bearing and / or one thereon attacking spring band attached. Such a spring band is used to Swivel lever with an existing spring element for weight compensation, e.g. e.g. a coil spring or a spring assembly, in particular adjustable to connect. To attach the cover, one is attached to 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 includes preferably locking or clamping elements or press-on nipples. It is with the lever end to be connected locking or clamping element or with the Press-on nipples to be connected to the lever end are further preferred with a loop or Provide gripping element that on a crossbar or the like on the lever arm, on which the spring band engages, or on which to engage the weight compensation device serving lever arm bearings can be clipped on under pre-tension is.

In the figures, partial areas or partial elements of swing gates 100, 200, 300 shown for garages. The swing gates 100, 200, 300 shown each have a frame 1 and a door leaf 2 which can be moved overhead. The door leaf 2 is in the installed state at the top via rollers 3 (Fig. 6) in the ceiling or the like of the garage in the horizontal direction in a not shown but sufficient fastened guide rails 4 guided. Swivels to open the door leaf 2 such that it has a lower edge 2a one from the door opening describes outward-reaching arch until it is essentially in its largely horizontal opening position defined by the running rails 4. This swiveling movement upwards is carried out by a swiveling lever mechanism 5 performed, one on each side area of the swing gate 100, 200, 300 the respective side rail 6 pivot lever 7 and a weight compensation device 8 includes.

The pivot lever 7 engages with one end 9 at the lower corner 10 of the Door leaf 2 (see e.g. Fig. 1). The pivot lever 7 is on a bearing block 11 mounted for pivoting about a pivot axis A (Fig. 2). At the other end 12 of the pivot lever 7, 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 Spring band 15 for the adjustable fastening of the expansion spring element 14 the end 12 of the pivot lever 7. The expansion spring element 14 is at the versions shown formed by a spring assembly and has several parallel attacking 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, shown in Figs. 1 to 6 and the third, in the 10 to 13 shown embodiment 100, 300 differentiate the swing gate essentially only by the number and type of their coil springs 16, 16 ' and by 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, that is Frame 1, the door leaf 2 and the pivoting lever mechanism 5 move in the course of Opening and closing movements relative to each other. To the individual sub-elements 1, 2 and 5 before mechanical stress resulting from this relative movement to protect due to grinding or bumping or the like, and / or for the protective sealing and covering of intermediate areas between these sub-elements 1, 2 and 5 is the Schwenktor 100, 200, 300 with a Protective device 20 provided, the following based on the illustration in the 1, 2 and 4 to 8 will be 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 in the second embodiment 200 of the swing gate another one Cover 60 for the rocker arm mechanism 5.

First of all, they are used to protectively cover and seal the door leaf gap 21 serving sealing strips 22 and 23 described. They include a frame side Stop bar or sealing strip 22 and a door leaf-side stop or Sealing strip 23.

The frame-side sealing strip 22 is formed by a profile strip, which is the first Profile section a load-bearing attached to the side frame member 6 Has profile web 24, from which a second profile section in the form of a free ending flange or profile leg 25 protrudes. The profile web 24 is for gripping provided on the frame spar 6 with two fastening sections 26 and 27, the perpendicular of one of the frame 1 facing side of the profile web 24th protrude. The first fastening section 26 is provided with barb elements 28 and for inserting and locking or holding onto the door opening bordering end face 29 (which is usually parallel to the reveal opening is arranged) of the frame 6 existing retaining groove 30 is formed. With some Known type of door leaves use such grooves 30 to hold contact strips, to protect against grinding damage by grinding the frame 1 and the Door leaf 2 attached to the side 29 of the door frame 6 facing the door leaf 2 are. In an embodiment, not shown, is in addition or instead the groove 30 is a holding groove on the inside facing the space to be closed 31 of the frame 6 arranged in which groove a corresponding Extension engages on the fastening portion 27.

In the embodiment shown, the second fastening section 27 projects in this way from the first profile section formed by the profile web 24, that he the door leaf side The inner edge 32 of the frame spar 6 engages in a particularly clamping manner. As can be seen from the circled detail II of Fig. 2, the bearing block 11 on its side facing the door leaf 2 for receiving this fastening section 27 provided with a recess 33. With such a recess 33 and a stop block 34 shown in FIGS. 4 and 5 is provided to guide the door leaf movement, in particular to limit it or serves as a stop for the door leaf 2.

The stop block 34 is arranged in the area of the inner edge 32 at that height, in which the initial pivot axis of the door leaf 2 is located. That when opening from the closed position, the door leaf 2 moves above the upper edge 35 of the stop block into the gate opening and below it this addition. For the one below this initial pivot axis The edge area of the door leaf 2 serves as a sealing strip 22 in the closed state Attack. For this purpose, the sealing strip 22 is from the beginning at the lower corner 10 of the swing gate starting up to the bracket on the stop block 34 provided with the profile leg 25 forming the second profile section, the acts as a sealing lip. Also the second fastening section 27, which is the inner edge 32 is formed encompassing, ends at the stop block 34. In addition also 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 narrower. 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) as well as the paragraph 38 formed by the narrowing the first profile section (the supporting profile web 24) with a recess 39 provided, in which the ends 37, 38 are fitted. A definition of the frame side Sealing strip 22 is also thereby in special embodiments possible that the second fastening portion 27 and / or the ends 37, 38th by tightening the to fix the bearing block 11 or the stop block 34 serving screws 40, 41 in the recesses or recesses 33 or 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 as a sealing lip acting profile leg 25 substantially approximately an L-shaped cross-sectional shape on, if one disregards the fastening sections 26, 27. The load-bearing profile web 24 is reinforced in the area of the groove 30. This is how it can be seen from the different cross sections shown can, provided with a thickening 42. As can be seen from FIGS. 4 and 5, sets this reinforced area on the groove 30 also passes over the stop block 34 away above. So the reinforced area and possibly the whole first profile section as protection against grinding or impact marks or as a grinding guide designed. 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 ones Sanding strips and performs their function.

Protection against grinding marks is thus applied over the entire length of the gate gap 21 guaranteed by the frame-side sealing strip 22, which also causes shocks and noise are reduced. In contrast, the sealing lip ends, i.e. the protruding Profile leg 25 in the area of the stop block 34. The one above it The area of the gate gap 21 is sealed by the sealing strip 23 on the door leaf side.

This sealing strip 23 needs, since it does not in the examples shown here Must perform anti-slip function, not necessarily to protrude into the gate gap 21. In the example shown, it therefore has essentially a Z-shaped shape Cross-section on, with a central profile web 43, of which on the door leaf side a third fastening section 44 and in the direction of the frame 1 protruding freely ending profile leg 45 acting as a sealing lip or stop lug.

The third fastening section 44 engages around the inner edge 46 of the door leaf 2 and is on the inside 47 of the edge of the door leaf pointing towards the room to be locked attached with fasteners 48. As fastening devices 48 existing screw connections or the like are used anyway, such as a screw 49 of the roller bearing block 50 or that one door leaf-side stop block 51, which in the closed state of the swing gate 100, 200, 300 comes to lie just above the frame-side stop block 34 (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 provided with cutouts for receiving the sealing strip 23. In the closed The state of the swing gate 100, 200, 300 is the profile leg designed as a sealing lip 45 sealing against the frame 1.

In addition to the sealing effect, the impact and wear-reducing effect and the protective functions guaranteed by the cover strips 22 and 23 but still another protective function, namely that near the gate gap 21 fingers or similar foreign bodies from crushing to protect when closing the door leaf 2. For this, the sealing lip or stop lug protrudes, i.e. the profile leg 25 or 45, not rigid but as by the Arrows indicated in the detailed views I of FIG. 1 or FIG. 10 or IVa of FIG. 4, movable from the profile web 24 or 43. The profile leg is as shown 25, 45 can be moved sideways out of its rest position, i.e. in the illustrated Examples can be folded away. This means that if it is in contact with a foreign body, like a hand or a finger, yield softly, causing bruises on the sealing lip or on the stop formed by the sealing lips for the other gate part element 1, 2 can be prevented. A mere attack sharp edges on the foreign body or shear of the foreign body between the edges (in particular the inner edges 32 and 46) is omitted.

The various functions of the sealing strips 22, 23 are therefore easily accessible, that as it were as a support or support element for the entire sealing strip 22nd acting first profile section, i.e. the profile web 24 or 43, made of one material exists, which has different properties than that for the protective lip element acting second profile section, ie the profile leg 25 or 45 used Material. With the first material, the main thing is resistance and the stiffness useful for load-bearing elements, while the second material must ensure a certain flexibility. This will then a two-component seal, so to speak. Particularly suitable material pairs for this are hard and soft rubber or hard and soft PVC. Such related materials can also be extruded together, so that the Sealing strip 22, 23 can be produced in one operation.

7 in a second embodiment Cover 60 shown is used to injure fingers or a Hand that happens to be in the vicinity of the swing gate 200, to help avoid. The cover 60 is substantially U-shaped Shell executed. With a load-bearing profile web 66 and protruding from it U-profile leg formed side walls 64 it covers the storage area and the rear lever arm area of the swivel 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 is on the frame 1 facing edge areas 62 similar to those acting as protective or sealing lips Profile legs 25, 45 of the sealing strips 22, 23 are particularly flexible, around 5 bruises also between the frame 1 and the pivoting lever mechanism to avoid. The compliance of these edge areas 62 of the side walls 64 of the cover 60, as with the sealing strips 22, 23, is selected of a resilient second material, that with a more rigid first Material together forms the cover shell 60. As the first material serves here metal (steel sheet) or the like, from which one of the cover 60 enclosed support or main body 65 with a substantially U-shaped cross section is formed. To form the side walls 64 are U-profile legs of this main body 65 by gluing or spraying or otherwise attaching protective strips 63 extended from the second material, which is soft rubber or soft PVC or the like is or includes. The supporting profile web 66 of the U main body 65 points for attachment to the rear lever arm 61 or to the spring band 15 openings 67. A total of four openings 67 are provided only two are needed for mounting each. Because of the other two openings 67 the cover tray 60 can also be attached in an offset position, so that the cover shell 60 e.g. both as shown on the left side of the swing gate (seen from the inside out) as well as usable on the right.

A latching device 68 is provided for fastening the cover shell 60 a first press-on nipple 69 engaging on the lever arm bearing 13 and one on the spring band 15 engaging second press nipple 70. The first Press-on nipple 69 has a pretension for attachment to the lever arm bearing 13 can be clipped onto the round crosspiece 71 of the lever arm bearing 13 Loop element 72. The second press-on nipple 70 engages with the cover shell 60 opposite end in a provided on the spring band 15 first opening 73 a.

As can be seen from the detailed views III of FIGS. 3 and 12, the spring band 15 even with a first substantially rectilinear section 74, the free one End is connected to the lever arm bearing 13, and a second substantially straight section 75, which is designed as a perforated band and with a series of eyelets or holes 76 for selectable engagement to adjust the tension of the upper tie rod 18, 18 ', and a step 77 between them. With step 77, the spring band 15 engages in the closed position of the swing gate 100, 200, 300 in the embodiments shown in FIGS. 2 and 11 around the Pivot lever bearings 78 defining pivot axis A around such that the expansion spring element 14 acts on the swivel lever 7 straight down. The The system is at or near top dead center. The rear lever arm 61 is thus neither forwards nor backwards when the door leaf is closed biased, it remains in its unstable rest position. The weight balance is only really active when the door leaf 2 is moved out of its closed position. This setting is advantageous for the motor operation of the swing gate 100, 200, 300, because the door can easily be brought into its closed position by the motor drive and let stop there.

In manual operation, however, it can be very advantageous if the door leaf 2 has a certain Prestressed to a slightly open state. In this case pivots the door leaf 2 after releasing a locking device (not shown) initially a little forward from its closed position and can then easier to open. A selectable setting of such a bias is in the Schwenktor 100, 300 shown in Fig. 3 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 (in the ones to be locked Room) held in an inclined position. The expansion spring element 14 acts then the spring band 15 not only straight down, but also with one small forward-facing component, which over the spring band 15 and the pivot lever 7 is transferred to the door leaf 2. In the embodiment shown includes the setting device 79 in a second, in particular with Threaded opening 80 on the spring band 15, more precisely on the first Section 74 of the same, engaging set screw 85, the free end of which is adjustable Attack depth on the pivot lever bearing 78 of the bearing block 11 in a supportive manner can. In further embodiments, not shown, the gate preload setting device comprises 79 support blocks that can be attached to the spring band 15 or similar considerations for level 77. In still other not shown Embodiments are depending on whether motor or manual operation is desired is, the stepped spring band 15 or a straight or less The extent of the graduated spring band is used.

9 and 13 is finally one for the protection of the swing gate 100, 200, 300 during transport and to protect against crushing fingers or the like by people who have moved or pre-assembled the swing arm during transport Assemblies of the swing gate 100, 200, 300 in the course of its manufacture touch, suitable transport securing device 81 shown. The transport security device 81 comprises a transport bracket 82, which is used for the transport of the Swing gates 100, 200, 300 the individual sub-elements 1, 2, 5 and here additionally still holds the running rail 4 folded up to frame 1 securely. The Transport bracket 81 is designed such that it partially swivels the lever mechanism 5 encompasses and partially encompasses. At at least two points 83, 84 this becomes Swiveling lever mechanism 5 secured and space-saving in such a way that it in the the position corresponding to the closed door leaf 2 remains, and this also in the case in which the stretch spring element already preassembled in the tensioned state 14 urges the door leaf 2 to open. Since there are no relative movements of the Sub-elements 1, 2, 5, 4 are possible during transport, there is also the risk of crushing or of spring elements that kick back. The Schwenktor 100, 200, 300 can already in all essential parts without danger are delivered pre-assembled, so that only a minimal installation effort on site necessary is.

The transport bracket 82 encompasses the second section, which is designed as a perforated belt 75 of the spring band 15 such that the expansion spring element 14 closer to the frame is pulled to save space. In addition, the expansion spring element 14 outwards, i.e. to the outer side of the frame spar 6 pulled out so that the sealing strip 22 is not acted upon.

In the illustrated embodiment, the transport bracket 82 is only one (releasable) screw 91 and only on the circumferential outer frame side 86 attached. The transport bracket 82 has a first angle section 87 on the inside 31 of the frame spar 6 guided and engages under the folded Track 4. With a second angle section 88, the transport bracket 82 then away from the frame member 6 and guided over the spring band 15, which he holding and encompasses the frame 1 and pushes outwards. The second angular range 82 is the shape of the various tie rods 18 that can be used or 18 'adapted.

At the area of the second angular section leading away from the frame 1 is a Detent 92 executed, which engage in the guide rail under tension can, so that the running rail 4 is held in its folded position. The running rail 4 is not on the upper region of the frame in illustrated manner pivotally held and can so from the open position folded over a small run-up shoulder of the locking lug 92 into that shown Position. The track is a little too elastic on the door leaf biased so that they also in the position engaging behind the latch 92 remains.

With a third angle section 89, the transport bracket 82 is finally out again led to the frame 1 or the door leaf 2 to the front, where it is the front, with the Door leaf 2 connected lever arm or the articulated rod connected to door leaf 2 90 of the pivot lever 5 engages and this (s) in its closed position urges so that the pivot lever mechanism 5 at a pivot in the open position is prevented.

At its upper and lower edge areas is the transport bracket with incisions 95 or recesses, which in particular as a detection device positive locking of the upper tie rod 18 'serve. The incisions 95 are arranged such that other tie rods, e.g. the tie rod 18 the first embodiment are detectable. Characterized in that the cuts 95 at the top and lower edge area are present, the transport bracket 82 is both like shown on the left side frame member 6 as well as in an inverted arrangement usable on the right side rail.

The transport securing device 81 is not only ready for the transport of the assembled swing gates 100, 200, 300 towards the construction site, but also for internal use Handling in the manufacturing plant interesting. With the help of the transport bracket can namely simple and safe to handle subpackages or assemblies or modules are preassembled that only become part of the final assembly Schwenktor 100, 200, 300 are assembled. This is how it is made a whole series of finished assemblies possible, which then for very different Gates can be used. For example, the side rail 6 can already be used the swivel lever mechanism 5 and the weight compensation device 8 pre-produced in stock and are kept in a manageable condition by the transport bracket. The resultant, already with the expected spring preload Preassembled modules can then be used with frame cross bars of different lengths 93, 94 (see Fig. 1 or 10 or 6) and door leaves 2 of different widths pivoting gates 100, 200, 300 of different widths can be joined together.

It goes without saying that embodiments differing from the depictions shown possible. Most using the example of a swing gate 100, 200, 300 explained features can also be realized with a tilting gate, at which the door leaf does not swing out of the door opening when it is opened. All Features of the described or shown embodiments are arbitrary new embodiments can be combined with each other.

Important aspects of the protective device described here and the one provided with it Tilting or swinging gates are described below with the aid of the illustration in Fig. 4 summarized again:

To avoid the risk of injury on a tilting or swinging arm (100, 200), a protective device (20) for covering or sealing an between intermediate space (1, 2) which is movable relative to one another (21) proposed an essentially rigid support or support element (24, 43) and a protective strip or lip element arranged thereon (25, 45) for covering or sealing the space (21), the is so flexible or flexible that it is in the intermediate space (21) foreign objects, especially the fingers or hand of a person can dodge. In the preferred embodiment, the protective device comprises at least a sealing strip (22, 23) for the gate gap (21) and / or a cover for a Swing lever mechanism (5) and more preferably consists of a composite softer and hard materials.
