Description

The invention relates to a sliding door arrangement with a sliding door, a running rail and a device for mounting the running rail, in particular a running or guide rail for sliding hardware for separating elements, according to the preamble of patent claim 1.

The invention relates in particular to a sliding door arrangement with a device for mounting the running rail in buildings, which consist of hardened building materials, such as concrete.

Sliding doors used to lock and / or divide rooms are usually suspended from a drive that is guided in a track. Runners of this type are as described below in FIG. 1 shown, for example, fastened by means of mounting screws 8, which are guided through openings 14 in the track rail 1 and screwed, for example, in a dowel 84 which sits in a hole 61 in a masonry 6, for example a ceiling. According to published patent application US / 2002/0044824 A1 are also rails with flanges known to have holes for the implementation of mounting screws. As below in FIG. 2 a running rail 1 provided with threaded bores 14 'can also be connected to masonry 6 by means of an angle element 83 and mounting screws 81, 82. From the US / 2002/0044824 Further, a fixing device for holding a running rail is known, which has an angle profile provided with a strip, which is connected on the one hand with a wall and on the other hand with the track to be held.

A disadvantage of this assembly method is that the running rail and the associated mounting means on the one hand claim space and on the other hand visually disturbing appear.

To avoid these disadvantages could, as in FIG. 4 shown, a mounting channel 62 are provided in the masonry 6, in which the running rail 1 is sunk. If the masonry 6 is made by means of hardening building materials, such as concrete, a space filler 92, for example a wooden beam can be arranged at the location of the running track 1 to be laid, for example, by means of nails 93 is held by a shuttering 91 until the building material poured and cured is. Subsequently, the casing 91 and the space filler 92 are removed and the mounting channel 62 exposed.

A disadvantage of this method, however, is that the dimensions of the space filler 92 are to be selected and realized precisely so that the running rail 1 can be easily inserted into the mounting channel 62. If necessary, space filler 92 must be planed and not twisted under the effects of moisture. Experience has shown that remains in the mounting channel 62 also mostly residues, bonded by infiltrated concrete water wood and nails, which must be eliminated with considerable effort by tools before the track rail 1 can be inserted and screwed. To mount the running rail 1 serving in the mounting channel 62 in turn for receiving dowels 84 holes 61 must be precisely incorporated, which is associated with considerable effort.

If the mounting channel 62 is not aligned horizontally, the running rail 1 must also be balanced, which in turn is not easily feasible.

The U.S. 2,242,329 discloses the features of the preamble of claim 1.

The present invention is therefore based on the object of specifying an improved device for mounting a sliding door.

This object is achieved with a sliding door assembly with mounting device, which has the features specified in claim 1. advantageous Embodiments of the invention are specified in further claims.

The device serves to mount a running rail on a masonry consisting of hardened building materials, in particular a concrete ceiling. According to the invention serving as a room filler and at least for receiving and mounting the track suitable mounting device is provided, which is placed on a formwork and poured into the masonry and anchored by means provided on the mounting device anchor elements in the masonry, so that after curing of the building materials, the running rail in the mounting device can be used and secured therein.

The mounting device therefore has a preferably U-shaped profiled element with an inner profile suitable for receiving the running rail and an outer profile suitable for anchoring within the masonry and at least one mounting element provided inside the inner profile, which serves to hold at least one connecting element provided for mounting the running rail ,

The downwardly mounted mounted U-shaped profile element has two interconnected by a central part side elements, wherein at least one of the central part and / or the side elements projecting element is provided by means of which the device is anchored after pouring and curing of the building material within the masonry ,

The installation of the mounting device into the masonry is preferably carried out by means of a holder which is connected to the casing and which is removed after curing of the building material together with the casing, so that only the mounting device remains embedded in the masonry.

The side elements of the mounting device are preferably provided with recesses and / or edges, engage in the elastic elements of the holder and can be removed by the action of force again.

The mounting device, which is preferably designed rail-shaped and approximately U-shaped profile, can therefore be installed with simple measures in the masonry, so that, after completion of the masonry, the rails provided for this purpose, easily adjusted and at a later date, if necessary, with simple measures can be dismantled again.

The inner dimensions of the mounting device are selected in a preferred embodiment such that the mounting device for receiving the running rail and a part of at least one separating element and / or at least one cable is suitable. Therefore, in addition to the running rail, dividing elements or profiles for receiving separating elements can also be countersunk into the mounting device, so that optically a pleasing and functionally tight closure is achieved. Cables routed inside the mounting device can be used, for example, for the power supply of drive devices provided for the separating elements. It is possible to continue laying cables and lines according to the user's choice.

In a preferred embodiment, the middle part of the mounting device consists of two side plates, which are connected to each other by a running against the rail to be mounted receiving element such that within the receiving element, a mounting space is formed, which serves at least partially receiving the connecting element. One or both side plates are preferably such configured such that their opposite end pieces project beyond the side elements and therefore serve as anchoring elements and their mutually facing end pieces serve as flange elements which limit the mounting space on one side of the side facing the mounting rail to be mounted side. The connecting element, such as a sliding block, can therefore be passed through a gap between the flange elements, rotated within the mounting space on the flange to a stop optionally formed by the receiving element and then tightened.

It is also possible to incorporate threaded holes in the flange elements. Mounting screws can be performed in this case by provided in the middle of the track rail openings, preferably mounting slots, and screwed into the threaded holes.

The mounting of the track can thus be performed quickly and easily in various ways. If the mounting device is not exactly aligned horizontally, spacer elements between the running rail and the middle part of the mounting device can be inserted to compensate for a disturbing inclination.

Based on the teaching of the invention, various embodiments of the mounting device can be realized. Preferably, a rail profile is selected, which is modified according to the present needs. In order to hide the mounting device as possible, the side elements preferably have against an edge extending end pieces. However, it is possible to design these end pieces as foot elements on which the running rail can be supported during assembly.

FIG. 13

the vacuum-sealed by means of a sealing film 95 mounting device 3 of FIG. 12 in which the necessary for the installation, for example, in the filler 94 pressed mounting means 8 are integrated.

FIG. 1 shows in cross section a U-shaped track rail 1, which has a provided with openings 14 rail center piece 11, which connects two side members 12 together. The side elements 12 have at their lower sides against each other directed foot elements 13, which are provided with running surfaces 15 on which the wheels 21 of a run within the running rail 1 drive 2 roll. The guided through the opening 14 in the track rail 1 mounting screw 8 is screwed into a dowel 84 which sits in a hole 61 in the masonry 6 and in the ceiling.

FIG. 2 shows a threaded bore 14 'provided with track rail 1, which is connected by means of an angle member 83 and mounting screws 81, 82 with a masonry 6.

A disadvantage of this mounting method is that the running rail 1 and the associated mounting means 81, 82, 83 on the one hand claim space and on the other hand visually disturbing appear.

To avoid these disadvantages, as described above and in the FIGS. 3 and 4 shown in the masonry 6, a mounting channel 62 are provided, in which the running rail. 1 sunk. If the masonry 6 is made by means of hardening building materials, such as concrete, a space filler 92, for example a wooden beam can be arranged at the location of the running track 1 to be laid, for example, by means of nails 93 is held by a shuttering 91 until the building material poured and cured is. Subsequently, the casing 91 and the space filler 92 are removed, the mounting channel 62 exposed and the running rail 1 is inserted. As described above, this method is also burdened with considerable disadvantages.

These disadvantages are avoided in the inventive device, in which a serving as a space filler and at least for receiving and mounting the track rail 1 suitable mounting device 3, as shown in FIG. 5 is shown poured into the masonry 6 and anchored therein.

As in FIG. 9 shown, the mounting device 3, which preferably has approximately the U-profile shape of a rail, for example, attached by means of a bracket 4 to a shuttering 91 and then in the manner of the wooden beam 92 of FIG. 3 poured in the masonry 6.

The mounting device 3 (see, eg FIG. 5 ) therefore comprises a profile element with an inner profile 3A suitable for receiving the running rail 1 and an outer profile 3B suitable for anchoring within the masonry and with at least one mounting element provided inside the inner profile, which serves to hold at least one connecting element provided for mounting the running rail 1.

In the FIG. 5 Mounting device 3 shown in a preferred embodiment has a suitable for receiving the track rail 1 profile with two side members 32 which are interconnected by a central portion 31.

The middle part 31 consists of two side plates 311, which are connected to each other by a running against the rail to be mounted receiving member 312 such that within the receiving element 312 one of the at least partially receiving the connecting element 7 serving mounting space 315 is formed, which at the mounting rail 1 facing side (see FIG. 6 ) is bounded on both sides by the end pieces of both side plates 311 facing each other and serving as flange elements 3112 such that a mounting slot 314 is exposed between the flange elements 3112.

FIG. 6 shows the mounting device 3 with mounted track rail 1. In this case, a threaded nut 7 by means of a mounting screw 8, which is guided through an opening 14 in the track rail 1, through the mounting slot 314 through into the mounting space 315 raised, via the flange elements 3112 turned up to a stop formed by the receiving element 312 for the sliding block 7 stop and tightened (see FIG. 7 ). In this way, the running rail 1 can therefore be quickly assembled and disassembled. The insertion of the sliding block 7 in the axially along the rail-shaped mounting device 3 extending mounting slot 314 can be done within a few seconds without a threaded hole must be searched. However, it is also possible to use flange elements 3112 with threaded bores into which the mounting screws 8 guided through openings 14 in the track rail 1 can be screwed directly.

The mutually remote end pieces of the side plates 311 of the central part 31 protrude beyond the side members 32 and serve as anchoring elements 3111, which anchor the mounting device 3 after the pouring and curing of the building material within the masonry 6.

The side members 32 are provided with recesses 321 and edges 322 into which elastic members 421 of FIG FIG. 8 and FIG. 9 shown holder 4 can be locked by means of which the mounting device 3 is attached to the casing 91. The side members 32 therefore have outwardly angled segments 325, which may also serve to anchor the mounting device 3; in the present embodiment, however, are primarily provided for connection to the holder 4.

The installation of the mounting device 3 into the masonry is therefore preferably by means of in FIG. 8 shown bracket 4, which has a provided with openings 411 base plate 41, on the two parallel aligned, provided with elastic locking elements 421 wing members 42 are perpendicular. Through the openings 411 screws or nails 93 can be guided, by means of which the holder 4 is attached to the casing 91. The base plate 41 is further provided with position marks 412 which allow the holder 4 to be aligned along the intended installation axis. The ends of the wing members 42 are configured in this preferred embodiment as cutting 422 by filling material or a packaging film 95 (see FIG. 13 ) can penetrate into the mounting device 3.

FIG. 13 shows the vacuum-sealed by means of a sealing film 95 mounting device 3 of FIG. 12 in which the necessary for the installation, for example, in the filler 94 pressed mounting means 8 are integrated. The use of the sealing film 95 and the filler have various advantages. On the one hand, the tightly packed mounting device 3, without previously detaching the sealing film 95, are concreted in, so that it is prevented that during the installation process dirt can penetrate into the mounting device 3. On the other hand, all installation means necessary for the installation (screws 8, 81, 82 in various lengths, dowels 84, cover caps 85 for the running rail 1, masking strips, sliding blocks 7, possibly even the running rail 1, etc.) are packed in the mounting device 3. After installation or setting in concrete of the mounting device 3, the sealing film 95 can be removed and the mounting material removed. This ensures that all the necessary materials are always available at the installation site, and that there are no delays caused by reordering.

As mentioned above, the holder 1 can be pushed through the sealing foil 95 by means of the cutting edges 422, whereafter the sealing foil 95 tightly encloses the holder 1 or is sealed by means of a band.

In a preferred embodiment, a holder 1 is used, which closes the mounting device 3 over the entire length tight. At the installation site, the holder 1 can be removed, posted on the shuttering 91 and the mounting device 3 are placed again. Particularly advantageous in this embodiment is that the holder 1 can be easily aligned and mounted.

In the FIG. 9 shown U-shaped bracket 4 is in such a way in the mounting device 3 can be inserted or clipped that the wing members 42 laterally rest against the side members 32 of the mounting device 3, wherein the elastic locking members 421 engage in the recesses 321.

After the attachment of at least one, preferably two brackets 4 at the corresponding positions on the casing 91, therefore, the mounting device 3 can be placed, wherein the lower edges 323 of the side members 32 are pressed by the elastic locking members 421 against the casing 61.

After pouring the mounting device and the curing of the building material, the shuttering 91 together with the brackets 4 away, so that only the mounting device 3, optionally cast with the sealing film 95 remains in the masonry 6.

If the elastic locking elements 421 provided on the wing elements 42 are blocked by the edges 322 of the side elements 32, the locking elements 421 are released either by increased force or, after removal of the shuttering 91, by means of a tool.

In order to seal the mounting device 3 or to push apart the wing elements 42, a filler 94 can furthermore be inserted into the mounting device 3 or the mount 4.

FIG. 10 shows a preferably configured mounting device 3, whose internal dimensions are selected such that, in addition to the running rail 1, an upper part of at least one normally non-displaceable separating element 5 can be moved within the mounting device 3. For this purpose, the corresponding side plate 311 of the central part 31 has been extended accordingly. In order to align the mounting device 3 exactly horizontal, spacers 38 were further inserted between the running rail 1 and the central part 31 of the mounting device 3.

Based on the teaching of the invention, various embodiments of the mounting device can be realized.

To produce the mounting device 3, a rail profile is preferably selected, which is modified according to the present needs. To conceal the mounting device 3 as possible, the side members 32 preferably against an edge 323 extending or tapered end pieces. However, it is possible to form these end pieces as foot elements 324. As in FIG. 11 shown, the foot member 324 drawn there allows the support of the track rail 1, before it is screwed.

As in FIG. 11 Furthermore, a profile part 325 serving as a cable holder may be provided inside the mounting device 3. Furthermore, the middle part 311 of the mounting device 3, preferably one of the side plates 311, be provided with a thread 316 into which the mounting screw 8 serving to hold the track rail 1 can be screwed. The mounting of the running rail 1 takes place in this case without sliding block. 7

To avoid a sliding block 7 and the arrangement of threads 316, the in FIG. 12 Mounting device 3 shown a receiving element 312, which is provided with a mounting channel 3120. The diameter of the mounting channel 3120 is chosen to be slightly smaller than the screw diameter so that when screwing in the screw 8 thread profiles are screwed on both sides self-tapping in the walls of the mounting channel 3120. The screw 8 can therefore be screwed at any point in the mounting channel 3120.

As in FIG. 12 is shown, may be provided between the track rail 1 and a side member 32 of the mounting device 3, a possibly a toothing having complementary profile 30, for holding a normally stationary separating element 5 (see FIG. 10 ) or as a cover or aperture.

The mounting device 3 can also be made of metal or plastic. If plastic is chosen, the profile dimensions are adjusted accordingly to achieve the required strength. Furthermore, a bent steel strip can also be used.

The profile of the mounting device 3 is freely selectable. It is essential that the mounting device 3 for a Receiving the running rail 1 suitable inner profile 3A and suitable for anchoring in the masonry 6 outer profile 3B (see FIG. 13 ), and means for mounting the track rail 1 has.
