In the figures, partial areas or partial elements of swing gates 100, 200 are respectively shown for garages. The illustrated swing gates 100, 200 each have one Frame 1 and an overhead movable gate 2. The door leaf 2 is installed in Condition at the top above rollers 3 (Fig. 6) in the ceiling or like the garage in the horizontal direction in unrepresented but sufficient known way fixed rails guided. To open it pivots Door leaf 2 on such that it with its lower edge 2a one from the door opening outward-reaching arc describes it until it is essentially through the bow Run rails defined largely horizontal opening position passes. These Swinging movement upside down is guided by a swivel lever mechanism 5, that at each side portion of the swing gate 100, 200 one at the respective lateral frame member 6 mounted pivot lever 7 and a counterweight device 8 includes.

The pivot lever 7 engages with its 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 11th mounted for pivoting about a pivot axis A (Fig. 2). At the other end 12 of the pivot lever 7 is a Hebelarmlager 13 is provided on which the weight compensation device 8 acts to equalize the Torblattgewichts.

The weight balancing device 8 has an expansion spring element 14, and a Spring band 15 for adjustably attaching the expansion spring element 14 at the end 12 of the pivot lever 7. The expansion spring element 14 is at the illustrated embodiments formed by a spring assembly and has several parallel attacking Schraubenzugfedem 16, 16 'on the tie rods 17, 17' and 18, 18 'together on the frame 1 (see Fig. 1, 10) and the spring band 15th (e.g., Figs. 2, 11).

The individual sub-elements 1, 2 and 5 of the swing gate 100, 200, so the frame 1, the door leaf 2 and the swivel lever mechanism 5, move in the course of the opening and closing movement relative to each other. For the protective covering of Intermediate areas between the individual sub-elements 1, 2 and 5 is the Pivoting 100, 200 provided with a protective device 20, the following will be explained with reference to the illustration in the drawings.

The protective device 20 comprises a cover 60 for the swivel lever mechanism 5.

The sealing strips 22 and 23 in the region of the door gap 21 comprise a frame-side Stop bar or sealing strip 22 and a gate leaf-side stop or sealing strip 23rd

The frame-side sealing strip 22 is formed by a profile strip, which serves as a first Profile section attached to the side frame member 6 supporting Profile web 24 has, from which a second profile section in the form of a free protruding flange or profile leg 25 protrudes. The profile web 24 is to attack provided on the frame beam 6 with two attachment portions 26 and 27, the perpendicular of one of the frame 1 facing side of the profile web 24th protrude. The first attachment portion 26 is provided with barb elements 28 and for insertion and locking or retention in one of the door opening bordering end face 29 (which is usually parallel to the reveal opening is arranged) of the Zargenholmes 6 existing retaining groove 30 is formed. For some Torblättem known type serve such grooves 30 to hold abrasive strips, to protect against abrasive damage by sanding the frame 1 and the Door leaf 2 attached to the door leaf 2 facing sides 29 of the Zargenholme 6 are. In an embodiment not shown is in addition to or instead of the Groove 30 a holding groove on the inside to be closed facing the inside 31 of Zargenholms 6 arranged, in which groove a corresponding extension engages the attachment portion 27.

In the illustrated embodiment, the second attachment portion 27 projects in such a way from the first profile section formed by the profile web 24, that it is the door leaf side Inner edge 32 of the Zargenholms 6 in particular by clamping surrounds. As can be seen from the circled detail II of Fig. 2, the bearing block 11 at its the door leaf 2 facing side for receiving this attachment portion 27 provided with a recess 33. With such a recess 33 is also a Figs. 4 and 5 shown stop block 34 is provided, the for guiding the Torblattbewegung, in particular for limiting the same or serves as a stop for the door leaf 2.

The stop block 34 is arranged in the region of the inner edge 32 in 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 top edge 35 of the stop block in the door opening into and below the same this one out. For the below this initial pivot axis lying Edge region of the door leaf 2 is the sealing strip 22 in the closed state as a sealing Attack. For this purpose, the sealing strip 22 from its beginning at the bottom corner 10 of the swing gate starting up to the holder on the stop block 34 provided with the profile section forming the second profile leg 25, the acts as a sealing lip. Also, the second attachment portion 27, which is the inner edge 32 formed encompasses ends at the stop block 34. In addition also the first profile section, i. the profile web 24, the frame-side sealing strip 22 in the area of the stop block 34 as hereinafter explained in more detail narrower. As can be seen from Fig. 5, the stop block 34 is at its stop side 36 for receiving the end 37 of the second profile section (of the profile limb 25) and the shoulder 38 formed by the narrowing first profile section (of the supporting profile web 24) with a recess 39 provided in which the ends 37, 38 are fitted. A determination of the frame side Sealing strip 22 is also characterized in particular embodiments possible that the second attachment portion 27 and / or the ends 37, 38 via Tighten the attachment of the bearing block 11 or the stop block 34th serving screws 40, 41 in the recesses or recesses 33 and 39th can be clamped.

Overall, the sealing strip 22 in the area between the corner 10 and the Stop block 34 due to the supporting profile web 24 and the sealing lip acting profile leg 25 is substantially about an L-shaped cross-sectional shape on, once the fastening sections 26, 27 out of consideration leaves. The supporting profile web 24 is reinforced in the region of the groove 30 executed. For this he is, as you can see at the various cross sections shown can recognize, provided with a thickening 42. As can be seen from FIGS. 4 and 5, this reinforced area at the groove 30 is also over the stop block 34 continues upward. Thus, the reinforced area and, where appropriate the entire first profile section as protection against grinding or shock marks or designed as a grinding guide. The sealing strip 22 thus serves in the illustrated Embodiment not only for sealing and covering the Torspaltes 21, it also replaces the traditional sanding strips and performs their function.

The protection against grinding marks is thus on the entire length of the gate gap 21st ensured by the frame-side sealing strip 22, which also still shocks and sounds are reduced. In contrast, the sealing lip ends, i. the towering Profile leg 25 in the area of the stop block 34. The overlying Area of the door gap 21 is sealed by the door leaf-side sealing strip 23 covering.

This sealing strip 23 needs, since they are no in the examples shown here Abrasive function must meet, not necessarily hineinzuragen in the gate gap 21. It therefore has in the example shown essentially a Z-shaped Cross-section on, with a central profile web 43, of which on the Torblattseite a third attachment portion 44 and in the direction of the frame 1 to a protrudes as a sealing lip or stop flag acting freely ending profile leg 45.

The third attachment portion 44 surrounds the inner edge 46 of the door leaf 2 and is on the side of the door to be closed 47 facing the Torblattrandes attached with fasteners 48. As fastening devices 48 are used anyway existing fittings or the like, as a screw 49 of the roller bearing block 50 or one of door leaf-side stop block 51, which in the closed state of the swing gate 100, 200 just above the frame-side stop block 34 comes to rest (see Detail view IVb of Fig. 4). The door leaf-side stop block 51 and the roller bearing block 50 are also on their the door leaf 2 facing sides Recesses for receiving the sealing strip 23 provided. In the closed State of the swing gate 100, 200 is the running as a sealing lip profile legs 45 abutting the frame 1 sealingly.

In addition to by the sealing effect, the shock and wear-reducing effect and the cover ensures the protective functions have the sealing strips 22 and 23 but another protective function, namely, the one near the gate gap 21 located fingers or the like foreign bodies from bruising to protect when closing the door leaf 2. For this purpose, the sealing lip or stop flag protrudes, i.e. the profile leg 25 or 45, not rigid but as by the Arrows in the detail views I of Fig. 1 or IVa of Fig. 4 indicated, movable from the profile web 24 and 43, respectively. As shown, the profile leg 25, 45 here From its rest position laterally movable away, i. in the illustrated Examples wegknickbar. This allows him to invest in a foreign body, such as a hand or a finger, yielding yielding, causing bruising the sealing lip or on the stop formed by the sealing lips for each other goal part element 1, 2 can be prevented. A mere attack of sharp edges on the foreign body or a 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 thus easily accessible, that as it were as a support or support element for the entire sealing strip 22nd acting first profile section, i. the profile bar 24 or 43, made of one material exists, which has different properties than that for the protective lip element acting second profile section, so the profile leg 25 or 45 used Material. The first material mainly depends on its resistance and the stiffness useful for structural elements, while the second material must ensure a certain compliance. This will then formed a two-component seal, so to speak. Particularly suitable pairs of materials These are hard and soft rubber or hard and soft PVC. Such Similar materials can also be extruded together, so that the Sealing strip 22, 23 can be produced in one operation.

Also in Figs. 7 and 8 at a pivot 200 in an inventive Embodiment shown cover 60 serves to injury to fingers or a hand that happens to be in the vicinity of the swing gate 200 or is to help avoid. The cover 60 is as substantially U-shaped Shell executed. With a supporting profile web 66 and protruding from it made of U-profile leg side walls 64 it covers the storage area and the rear lever arm portion of the pivot lever mechanism 5. This will a hand engagement between the lever arm 61 and the spring band 15 largely prevented. In addition, the cover or cover 60 is at its the frame 1 facing edge portions 62 similar to those as protective or sealing lips acting profile legs 25, 45 of the sealing strips 22, 23 particularly yielding executed to 5 bruises between the frame 1 and the swivel mechanism to avoid. The compliance of these edge portions 62 of the side walls 64 of the cover 60 is as well as in the sealing strips 22, 23 by Selection of a yielding second material ensures that with a more rigid first composite material together forms the cover 60. As the first Material is used here metal (steel sheet) or the like, from which one of the cover shell 60 included support or main body 65 with a substantially U-shaped Cross section is formed. To form the side walls 64 U-profile legs are this Main body 65 by gluing or molding or other fastening extended by protective strips 63 of the second material, which is soft rubber or plasticized PVC or the like. The supporting profile web 66 of U- main body 65 has for attachment to the rear lever arm 61 or the spring band 15 openings 67. Overall, four openings 67 are provided, only two are required for attachment. Due to the rest two openings 67, the checker 60 but also secured in a staggered position so that the cover 60 is e.g. both as shown on the left Swingarm side (seen from inside to outside) as well as right side usable is.

For fixing the cover 60, a latching device 68 is provided which an acting on the Hebelarmlager 13 first Aufdrücknippel 69 and a on the spring band 15 engaging second Aufdrücknippel 70 includes. The first Aufdrücknippel 69 has for attachment to the Hebelarmlager 13 under a bias aufklipsbares on the round transverse web 71 of Hebelarmlagers 13 Loop element 72 on. The second Aufdrücknippel 70 engages with its cover 60 opposite end in a provided on the spring band 15 first opening 73 a.

As can be seen from the detail views III of FIG. 3, the spring band 15 itself with a first substantially rectilinear portion 74, the free end with the Hebelarmlager 13 is connected, and a second substantially straight Section 75, which is designed as a perforated belt and with a series of eyelets or Holes 76 for a selectable to adjust the tensile stress engagement of the upper Tie rod 18, 18 'is provided, and a step 77 executed in between. With the step 77 engages the spring band 15 in the closed position of the swing gate 100, 200 at The embodiments shown in FIG. 2 about the pivot axis A defining Pivot lever bearing 78 around so that the expansion spring element 14 the Swivel lever 7 is applied straight down. The system is there that is, in or near top dead center. The rear lever arm 61 is thus closed Door leaf biased neither forward nor backward, he remains in his unstable rest position. The weight balance is only when moving the Torblatts 2 from its closed position really active. This setting is for the motor operation of the swing gate 100, 200 advantageous because the gate so through easily bring the motor drive in its closed position and keep it there.

In manual operation, it may be very advantageous if the door leaf 2 a certain Bias to a slightly open state. In this case pivots the door leaf 2 after releasing a locking device (not shown) initially a little bit forward out of its closed position and can then be opened more easily. A selectable setting of such a bias is in the illustrated in Fig. 3 pivot 100 by a Torvorspannungseinstelleinrichtung 79 on the spring band 15 allows. By the Torvorspannungseinstelleinrichtung 79, the spring band 15 in the closed state the swing gate 100, 300 in a backward (in the space to be closed held in) inclined position. The expansion spring element 14 acts then the spring band 15 not only straight down, but also with a small Forward facing component, via the spring band 15 and the Swing lever 7 is transmitted to the door leaf 2. In the illustrated embodiment the adjusting device 79 comprises a second, in particular threaded provided opening 80 on the spring band 15, more precisely on the first portion 74 of the same, engaging adjusting screw 85, the free end in adjustable Depth on the pivot lever bearing 78 of the bearing block 11 abutment attack can. In further embodiments, not shown, the Torvorspannungseinstelleinrichtung 79 fastened on the spring band 15 Untersetzklötzchen or the like Underlays for the stage 77. In still other embodiments not shown Depending on whether engine or manual operation is desired, the stepped Spring band 15 or a straight or to a lesser extent stepped spring band used.

Of course, the embodiments shown are also deviating embodiments possible. Most explained using the example of a swing gate 100, 200 Features can also be realized in a tilt gate, in which the Door leaf does not swing out of the door opening when opening.

Important aspects of the protection device and the device provided herewith Tilting or pivoting gates are described below with reference to the illustration in FIG. 7 summarized again:
