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 the door is closed.

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 A u fg a b e 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 hinge unit support mechanism which protects hinges from undesired deformations and prevents the formation of a gap between the door panel and the frame.

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.
