Description

Die vorliegende Erfindung betrifft eine Stützvorrichtung für ein Scharnier einer Schließeinheit.The present invention relates to a supporting device for a hinge of a closing unit.

Der Begriff "Schließeinheit" soll verschiedene Einheiten zur Schließung einer Öffnung, wie zum Beispiel Türen, Fenster, Schotte oder ähnliches umfassen. Im folgenden wird für diese Varianten einer Schließeinheit der Ausdruck "Tür" als Oberbegriff verwendet, wobei klar sein soll, daß die Erfindung nicht auf die Verwendung bei Türen beschränkt ist.The term "closing unit" is intended to include various units for closing an opening, such as doors, windows, bulkheads or the like. In the following, the term "door" is used as a generic term for these variants of a closing unit, it being understood that the invention is not limited to use in doors.

Ein Türblatt kann mit Scharnieren an der Türzarge befestigt werden, wodurch das Türblatt beim Öffnen und Schließen um die Drehachse eines Scharniers verschwenkbar ist. Hierzu können verschiedene Arten von Scharnieren verwendet werden, wie zum Beispiel Stangen-, Topf-, Aufschraub-, Klappen-, Glastür-, Zapfen- oder Konstruktions-Bandscharniere oder ähnliches. Bei der Verwendung von schweren Türblättern, wie etwa bei Glastüren, Metalltüren oder ähnlichem, werden an die Scharniere besondere Anforderungen gestellt. Die Scharniere sind auf herkömmliche Weise einseitig an einer Türblattfläche angeordnet.A door leaf can be hinged to the door frame, whereby the door leaf is pivotable when opening and closing about the axis of rotation of a hinge. Various types of hinges can be used for this purpose, such as rod, pot, screw-on, flap, glass door, journal or construction hinge hinges or the like. When using heavy door leaves, such as glass doors, metal doors or the like, special demands are placed on the hinges. The hinges are arranged in a conventional manner on one side of a door leaf surface.

Ein Nachteil dieser herkömmlichen Anordnung von Scharnieren ist, daß sich beim Öffnen der Tür ein Spalt zwischen Türblatt und Zarge bildet, wodurch die Gefahr entsteht, daß Finger oder Gegenstände, die in diesen Bereich gelangen, beim Schließen der Tür gequetscht bzw. beschädigt werden.A disadvantage of this conventional arrangement of hinges is that a gap forms between the door leaf and the frame when the door is opened, which creates the risk that fingers or objects entering this area will be crushed or damaged when closing the door.

Ein weiterer Nachteil der Aufhängung von schweren Türblättern ist, daß es bei Bewegungen des Türblatts aufgrund seines Gewichtes zu mechanischen Verformungen der Scharniere kommen kann, was die Funktionsweise der Tür beeinträchtigt und das Scharnier unter häufiger Anwendung zerstört.Another disadvantage of the suspension of heavy door leaves is that it can come with movements of the door leaf due to its weight to mechanical deformation of the hinges, which affects the operation of the door and destroys the hinge with frequent use.

Es ist daher die Aufgabe der vorliegenden Erfindung, eine Stützvorrichtung für ein Scharnier einer Schließeinheit bereitzustellen, die Scharniere vor ungewünschten Verformungen schützt, und die Bildung eines Spalts zwischen Türblatt und Zarge verhindert.It is therefore the object of the present invention to provide a support device for a hinge of a clamping unit, which protects hinges from undesired deformations, and prevents the formation of a gap between the door leaf and frame.

Die Aufgabe wird erfindungsgemäß dadurch gelöst, daß die Stützvorrichtung in Form einer axialen Verlängerung unterhalb des Scharniers ausgebildet ist.The object is inventively achieved in that the supporting device is designed in the form of an axial extension below the hinge.

Der Vorteil der Erfindung ist, daß bei Verwendung von schweren Türblättern vorgesehene Scharniere gegen mechanische Verformungen geschützt werden, wodurch der Verschleiß der Scharniere vermindert und eine langlebigere Funktionsfähigkeit gegeben ist. Zudem kann eine Spaltbildung zwischen Türblatt und Türzarge unterbunden werden.The advantage of the invention is that provided when using heavy door leaves hinges are protected against mechanical deformation, whereby the wear of the hinges is reduced and a longer-lived functionality is given. In addition, a gap formation between the door leaf and door frame can be prevented.

Erfindungsgemäß befindet sich die Stützvorrichtung unterhalb eines Scharnieres zwischen Türblatt und Türzarge und weist eine Verbindung zu dem Scharnier auf, welches dadurch gegen Verformung geschützt ist. Weiterhin wird der Bereich zwischen Türblatt und Türzarge durch die Stützvorrichtung ausgefüllt, so daß kein Spalt vorhanden ist, in dem beim Schließen der Tür eventuell Finger oder Gegenstände gequetscht bzw. beschädigt werden können. Die Stützvorrichtung besteht aus einem harten Material, vorzugsweise Metall, welches die gewünschten Stabilitätseigenschaften aufweist.According to the invention, the support device is below a hinge between the door leaf and door frame and has a connection to the hinge, which is thereby protected against deformation. Furthermore, the area between the door leaf and door frame is filled by the support device, so that no gap is present, in which when closing the door possibly fingers or objects can be crushed or damaged. The support device consists of a hard material, preferably metal, which has the desired stability properties.

Nach einer vorteilhaften Ausgestaltung der Erfindung weist die Stützvorrichtung mindestens ein rohrförmiges Element auf, welches vorzugsweise denselben Querschnitt wie das Scharnier aufweist, aber auch einen anderen Querschnitt aufweisen kann, wie zum Beispiel einen kreisförmigen oder polygonalen. Das rohrförmige Element kann in der Ausgestaltung seiner Länge je nach Anforderung und Wunsch variieren. Auch ist es möglich, daß das rohrförmige Element massiv ausgebildet ist, wodurch die Stabilität desselben weiter erhöht wird.According to an advantageous embodiment of the invention, the support device has at least one tubular element, which preferably has the same cross section as the hinge, but may also have a different cross section, such as a circular or polygonal. The tubular element may vary in the configuration of its length depending on the requirement and desire. It is also possible that the tubular element is solid, whereby the stability thereof is further increased.

Eine weitere vorteilhafte Ausgestaltung der Erfindung sieht vor, daß die Stützvorrichtung eine Verbindung zu mindestens einem Scharnier aufweist. Dieses Scharnier wird dadurch vor mechanischen Verformungen geschützt. Die Stützvorrichtung kann aber auch so ausgebildet sein, daß es Verbindungen zu zwei Scharnieren aufweist, wodurch nur eine Stützvorrichtung für zwei Scharniere benötigt wird. Weiterhin ist durch diese Ausgestaltung der gesamte Bereich zwischen den Scharnieren ausgefüllt, so daß keine Quetschungen oder Beschädigungen von in diesem Bereich befindlichen Fingern bzw. Gegenständen erfolgen können.A further advantageous embodiment of the invention provides that the support device has a connection to at least one hinge. This hinge is thereby protected against mechanical deformation. The support device can also be designed so that it has connections to two hinges, whereby only one support device for two hinges is needed. Furthermore, the entire area between the hinges is filled by this configuration, so that no bruising or damage of located in this area fingers or objects can be done.

Eine weitere vorteilhafte Ausgestaltung der Erfindung sieht vor, daß das rohrförmige Element als Klemmelement ausgebildet ist. Dieses wird zwischen zwei Scharniere geklemmt, um so beide Scharniere zu stützen. Dadurch ist ein einfaches Einfügen und Abnehmen des rohrförmigen Elementes gegeben, was die Montage desselben erleichtert.A further advantageous embodiment of the invention provides that the tubular element is designed as a clamping element. This is clamped between two hinges so as to support both hinges. As a result, a simple insertion and removal of the tubular element is given, which facilitates the installation thereof.

Nach einer weiteren vorteilhaften Ausgestaltung der Erfindung weist das Klemmelement Klemmglieder auf. Diese können federgelagert sein und greifen in entsprechende Ausnehmungen an den Scharnieren ein. Die Klemmelemente können haken- oder kugelförmig ausgebildet sein oder die Form einer das Scharnier teilweise umgreifenden Hülse aufweisen.According to a further advantageous embodiment of the invention, the clamping element on clamping members. These can be spring-loaded and engage in corresponding recesses on the hinges. The clamping elements may be hook-shaped or spherical or have the shape of a hinge partially embracing sleeve.

Eine weitere vorteilhafte Ausgestaltung der Erfindung sieht vor, daß die Stützvorrichtung mindestens ein an der Zarge befestigbares Verbindungselement aufweist. Dieses kann in Form einer an der Zarge befestigten Aufnahme ausgebildet sein, welche sich ebenfalls zwischen dem Türblatt und der Türzarge befindet. An diesem Verbindungselement wird das rohrförmige Element befestigt, wobei das Verbindungselement unterhalb und/oder oberhalb eines rohrförmigen Elementes vorgesehen ist. Auch ist denkbar, daß das rohrförmige Element an einer anderen Stelle als an den Enden eine oder mehrere Ausnehmungen aufweist, in die das Verbindungselement eingreifen kann. Befindet sich das Verbindungselement unter- oder oberhalb eines rohrförmigen Elementes, so kann dieses als Klemmelement ausgebildet zwischen das Verbindungselement und ein Scharnier auf die oben beschriebene Art und Weise eingeklemmt werden.A further advantageous embodiment of the invention provides that the support device has at least one attachable to the frame connecting element. This may be formed in the form of a receptacle attached to the frame, which is also located between the door leaf and the door frame. At this connecting element, the tubular element is fixed, wherein the connecting element is provided below and / or above a tubular element. It is also conceivable that the tubular element has at one point other than at the ends of one or more recesses into which the connecting element can engage. If the connecting element is below or above a tubular element, then this can be clamped between the connecting element and a hinge in the manner described above and clamped in the manner described above.

Nach einer weiteren vorteilhaften Ausgestaltung der Erfindung ist mindestens eine der Verbindungen zu einem Scharnier oder einem Verbindungselement als drehbare Verbindung ausgebildet. Dadurch ist es möglich, daß das rohrförmige Element an einem Ende eine feste Verbindung aufweist, während das andere Ende als drehbare Verbindung ausgebildet ist. Vorzugsweise sind die Verbindungen an beiden Enden des rohrförmigen Elementes mit mindestens einem Scharnier drehbar ausgebildet.According to a further advantageous embodiment of the invention, at least one of the connections to a hinge or a connecting element is designed as a rotatable connection. This makes it possible that the tubular member has a fixed connection at one end, while the other end is formed as a rotatable connection.

Fig. 1 zeigt eine Schließeinheit 1, bestehend aus einem Türblatt 2, einer Türzarge 3 und zwei zwischen dem Türblatt 2 und der Türzarge 3 befindlichen Scharnieren 4, 5. Die Scharniere 4, 5 sind in dieser Ausführung dreielementige Stangenscharniere, wobei ein Element mit der Türzarge 3 verbunden ist, und die beiden anderen Elemente mit dem Türblatt 2 verbunden sind. Bei Verwendung eines schweren Türblattes, wie etwa einem Glastür- oder Metalltürblatt, wirkt eine große Kraft auf die Scharniere 4, 5. Diese Kräfte wirken sich besonders ungünstig aus, wenn die Schließeinheit 1 geöffnet ist, so daß es zu mechanischen Verformungen an den Scharnieren 4, 5 kommen kann. Weiterhin ist zwischen dem Türblatt 2 und der Türzarge 3 ein Spalt 6 vorhanden, in dem eventuell dort befindliche Finger oder Gegenstände gequetscht bzw. beschädigt werden können. Fig. 1 shows a closing unit 1, consisting of a door leaf 2, a door frame 3 and two located between the door leaf 2 and the door frame 3 hinges 4, 5. The hinges 4, 5 are in this embodiment, three-element rod hinges, with an element connected to the door frame 3 is, and the two other elements are connected to the door panel 2. When using a heavy door leaf, such as a glass door or metal door leaf, a large force acts on the hinges 4, 5. These forces are particularly unfavorable when the closing unit 1 is opened, so that there are mechanical deformations on the hinges 4 , 5 can come. Furthermore, there is a gap 6 between the door leaf 2 and the door frame 3, in which any fingers or objects located there can be squeezed or damaged.

Fig. 2 zeigt eine Schließeinheit 1 mit einer unterhalb des oberen Scharniers 4 befindlichen Stützvorrichtung 7. Diese weist in dieser Ausführung ein rohrförmiges Element 8 und ein Verbindungselement 9 auf, welches die Stützvorrichtung 7 mit der Türzarge 3 verbindet. Das obere Scharnier 4 wird somit durch die Stützvorrichtung 7 gegen mechanische Verformung geschützt, so daß das Scharnier 4 in seiner Funktion langlebiger wird. In dem Bereich, in dem sich die Stützvorrichtung befindet, wird der Spalt 6 durch die Stützvorrichtung 7 ausgefüllt, so daß dort keine Gefahr bezüglich Quetschung und Beschädigung von dort befindlichen Fingern bzw. Gegenständen besteht. Mindestens eine der Verbindungen von dem rohrförmigen Element 8 zum Verbindungselement 9 oder dem Scharnier 4 ist eine drehbare Verbindung, vorzugsweise sind beide Verbindungen drehbar ausgebildet. Weiterhin kann vorgesehen sein, daß das untere Scharnier 5 eine zweite Stützvorrichtung 7 der genannten Art aufweist.

In the area in which the support device is located, the gap 6 is filled by the support device 7, so that there is no risk of pinching and damage there located fingers or objects. At least one of the connections from the tubular element 8 to the connection element 9 or the hinge 4 is a rotatable connection, preferably both connections are rotatable. Furthermore, it can be provided that the lower hinge 5 has a second support device 7 of the type mentioned.

Fig. 3 zeigt eine alternative Ausführung einer Stützvorrichtung 7, wobei diese kein Verbindungselement 9 aufweist. Die Stützvorrichtung 7 besteht nur aus einem rohrförmigen Element 8 welches sich zwischen den Scharnieren 4, 5 erstreckt. Das rohrförmige Element 8 ist dabei als Klemmelement ausgebildet, das auf einfache Weise zwischen die Scharniere 4, 5 eingeklemmt, oder wieder herausgenommen werden kann. Auch hier können beide Verbindungen oder nur eine Verbindung zwischen den Scharnieren 4, 5 und dem rohrförmigen Element drehbar ausgebildet sein. Fig. 3 shows an alternative embodiment of a support device 7, which has no connecting element 9. The support device 7 consists only of a tubular element 8 which extends between the hinges 4, 5. The tubular element 8 is designed as a clamping element which can be clamped in a simple manner between the hinges 4, 5, or removed again. Again, both connections or only one connection between the hinges 4, 5 and the tubular element can be designed to be rotatable.

Fig. 4 zeigt eine Ausführung der Stützvorrichtung 7, wobei die Stützvorrichtung 7 ein rohrförmiges Element 8 und ein Verbindungselement 9 aufweist. Weiterhin weist die Stützvorrichtung 7 ein Klemmglied 10 auf, welches in dieser Ausführung als Kugel ausgebildet ist, und das mit einer Feder 11 in Verbindung steht, die das Klemmglied 10 nach außen drückt. Das Klemmglied 10 kann beim Einfügen des rohrförmigen Elementes 8 in eine Ausnehmung 12 des Verbindungselementes 9 eingreifen, nachdem das obere Ende des rohrförmigen Elementes 8 über den unteren Teil des oberen Scharniers 4 geschoben wurde, wobei das rohrförmige Element 8 einen größeren Radius als das obere Scharnier 4 aufweist. Fig. 4 shows an embodiment of the support device 7, wherein the support device 7 comprises a tubular element 8 and a connecting element 9. Furthermore, the support device 7, a clamping member 10 which is formed in this embodiment as a ball, and which is in communication with a spring 11 which presses the clamping member 10 to the outside. The clamping member 10 can engage in insertion of the tubular member 8 in a recess 12 of the connecting element 9 after the upper end of the tubular member 8 has been pushed over the lower part of the upper hinge 4, wherein the tubular member 8 has a larger radius than the upper hinge 4 has.

Fig. 5 zeigt eine alternative Ausgestaltung der Stützvorrichtung 7, wobei das Verbindungselement 9 einen nach oben weisenden Zapfen 13 aufweist, der in eine Aufnahme 14 des rohrförmigen Elementes 8 einfügbar ist. Am oberen Ende des rohrförmigen Elementes 8 befindet sich ein hülsenförmiges Klemmglied 10 welches vor und zurück geschoben werden kann, um so den unteren Teil des oberen Scharniers 4 zu umfassen. Fig. 5 shows an alternative embodiment of the support device 7, wherein the connecting element 9 has an upwardly facing pin 13 which is insertable into a receptacle 14 of the tubular element 8. At the upper end of the tubular element 8 is a sleeve-shaped clamping member 10 which can be pushed back and forth so as to cover the lower part of the upper hinge 4.

In Fig. 6 ist eine Spreizeinrichtung 15 dargestellt, die zwischen zwei rohrförmigen Elementen 8 angeordnet ist. Die rohrförmigen Elemente 8 weisen Aufnahmen 16 auf, in die die kugelförmigen Kopplungsglieder 17 der Spreizeinrichtung 15 eingreifen. Die Kopplungsglieder 17 sind jeweils mit einem in einer rohrförmigen Bohrung 18 der Spreizeinrichtung 15 verschiebbar gelagerten zylinderförmigen Element 19 verbunden. Zwischen den zylinderförmigen Elementen ist eine Druckfeder 20 angeordnet, die die beiden Kopplungsglieder 17 in Richtung der rohrförmigen Elemente 8 drückt, so daß eine Spreizung erfolgt. Durch diese Spreizung wird eine Aussteifung der Stützvorrichtung 7 erzeugt, wodurch sich ein Türblatt 2 und die damit verbundenen Scharniere nicht mechanisch verformen.In Fig. 6 a spreader 15 is shown, which is arranged between two tubular elements 8. The tubular elements 8 have receptacles 16, in which engage the spherical coupling members 17 of the spreader 15. The coupling members 17 are each connected to a cylindrical member 19 slidably mounted in a tubular bore 18 of the spreading device 15. Between the cylindrical elements, a compression spring 20 is arranged, which presses the two coupling members 17 in the direction of the tubular elements 8, so that a spreading takes place. By this spreading a stiffening of the support device 7 is generated, whereby a door leaf 2 and the associated hinges do not deform mechanically.

Fig. 7 zeigt eine weitere Ausgestaltung einer Schließeinheit 1 in Schnittdarstellung, bei der Zapfenbänder als Scharniere 4, 5 verwendet werden. Das obere Scharnier 4 ist zum einen an der Türzarge 3 befestigt und zum anderen an dem Türblatt 2. Das untere Scharnier 5 ist bodenseitig drehbar gelagert und ebenfalls mit dem Türblatt 2 verbunden. Die Scharniere 4, 5 sind nicht im Durchgangsbereich der Schließeinheit 1, sondern einseitig ausgelagert angeordnet. Durch diese Anordnung treten ebenfalls Spannungen im Türblatt 2 auf, die zudem mechanische Verformungen der Scharniere 4, 5 erzeugen. Daher ist zwischen den Scharnieren 4,5 die rohrförmige Stützvorrichtung 7 angeordnet, die die beiden Scharniere 4, 5 auseinanderspreizt und gleichzeitig das Türblatt 2 stabilisiert. Fig. 7 shows a further embodiment of a closing unit 1 in a sectional view, are used in the pin hinges as hinges 4, 5. The upper hinge 4 is attached to the one on the door frame 3 and the other on the door panel 2. The lower hinge 5 is rotatably mounted on the bottom side and also connected to the door panel 2. The hinges 4, 5 are not arranged in the passage area of the closing unit 1, but one-sided outsourced. By this arrangement, stresses also occur in the door leaf 2, which also mechanical Deformations of the hinges 4, 5 produce. Therefore, the tubular supporting device 7 is arranged between the hinges 4, 5, which spreads apart the two hinges 4, 5 and at the same time stabilizes the door leaf 2.

Die in den Figuren gezeigten Ausführungen und deren Beschreibung dienen der Erläuterung und sind nicht beschränkend.The embodiments shown in the figures and their description are illustrative and not restrictive.
