Description

The invention relates to a window or a door with a Blendrhmen and a hingedly hinged thereto by means of hinges sash, wherein the frame comprises a hinge-side and a fitting-side vertical posts, which are interconnected by means of a bottom sill bottom and the sash of a hinge-side and a fitting side vertical spar and an upper and a lower horizontal spar is formed and wherein at the lower horizontal spar of the sash a movable sealing arrangement for sealing a gap between the horizontal spar and the threshold is provided.

Such windows or doors are widely known, and from the prior art for sealing the gap between the lower horizontal spar of the sash and the threshold, in particular with respect to the lower horizontal spar and extendable, ie: vertically from the horizontal spar out or in this moving sealing strips are known to accomplish the sealing of the gap.

A window (or door) according to the preamble of claim 1 is known from EP-A-1 221 529 known.

Such movable sealing arrangements are indicated in particular when the access is to be made as threshold-free or barrier-free as possible by means of such an openable window or a corresponding door, that is to say in cases where the threshold should not possibly project beyond the level of the floor adjoining the room ,

This has been difficult in terms of the permanent seal, so that the thresholds usually protrude about 20 mm from the ground.

The previously known from the prior art sealing arrangements in non-protruding thresholds are often not able to ensure the tightness of the window or door in the region of the gap over a longer period, firstly due to material expansions and contractions in the frame and sash changing gap widths must be compensated for and on the other hand, even with the known movable sealing arrangements with time air and the moisture entrained in pulls over the sealing arrangement and with time moisture room side, ie enters inward, which is absolutely to be avoided.

The invention is therefore based on the task to further develop a window or a door of the type mentioned above, that despite a barrier-free access without significant above the level of the room side adjoining floor protruding threshold a reliable and permanent sealing of the gap between the lower Horizontal spar of the sash and the threshold is guaranteed.

To achieve the object, the design of a window or a door according to the features of claim 1 is proposed according to the invention.

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

The invention proposes to provide as a sealing arrangement two spaced flap seals, each about an axis extending in the region of the lower edge of the horizontal spar axis between two end positions are movable, wherein in one end position of the gap is sealable and in the other end position of the gap for moving the sash is releasable.

Folding seals according to the invention have the advantage that due to a reliably sealing end position and changing gap widths can be reliably covered, in the other, the gap releasing end position an unobstructed movement of the sash is also guaranteed over hochflorigem flooring and the like. Without further notice.

The inventive arrangement of two spaced-apart, but preferably parallel to each other moving flap seals reaches the proposed in the invention movable seal assembly highest tightness values also in terms of driving rain and Flugschneedichtigkeit, soundproofing and windproofness.

In order to ensure a uniform movement of both hinged seals, according to a proposal of the invention, the two hinged seals are connected to each other, for example, rigidly coupled together by corresponding connecting strips.

According to a further proposal of the invention, at least one of the hinged seals is designed to project beyond the width of the lower horizontal spar at least on one side, so that the supernatant thus formed forms a stop surface on the adjacent vertical post of the frame. If such a window designed according to the invention or such a door formed in accordance with the invention, the corresponding flap seal is forcibly transferred by abutment of the supernatant on the fixed vertical post of the frame in the end position sealing the gap, without additional actuators for the hinged seals or a noticeably higher Force required for this.

When opening the sash, the hinged seals are automatically moved to their second end position, in which they release the gap for moving the sash.

It is understood that the movement of the hinged seals between their end positions can also learn more support, for example by springs or torsion bars and the like.

In addition, according to a further proposal of the invention, it is provided that a driving device for driving the hinged seals is provided in at least one of its end positions, e.g. is coupled with a fitting for opening or locking the sash on the frame, in which, for example, the movement of a drive rod of the fitting is tapped and used for corresponding movement of the hinged seals.

It can also be provided that the drive device comprises at least one spring-loaded, on the sash protruding drive button which abuts the window frame when closing the sash and is inserted into the sash. This insertion movement can be used to transfer the hinged seals from their open to the closed position in which they seal the gap. Conversely, when the sash is opened, the button can spring out of the sash frame as soon as the abutment surface on the sash disappears and this movement is used to transfer the sash seals into the final position releasing the gap.

The proposed in the context of the invention window or the corresponding door has, according to a further proposal on a threshold, which has at least one drainage opening for the removal of any accumulating water in their definable by the hinged seals area, from which the resulting water discharged in gap range, for example to the outside can be.

According to a further proposal of the invention, the threshold can also have a slight heel which serves as a stop for one of the hinged seals.

The window according to the invention or the corresponding door are particularly suitable for the use of a threshold for creating a so-called barrier-free access, in which the threshold is flush with the upper edge of a subsequent floor exactly or only with a small offset on the room side.

A section through the door according to the invention as indicated by arrows WW in FIG. 1 ,

From the FIG. 1 is a door 1, for example, a front door in the room-side view can be seen.

The door comprises a frame 1, which is formed by a hinge-side vertical post 10, a fitting-side vertical post 11, a top horizontal section 13 and a bottom threshold 12, wherein the bottom threshold 12 and the top horizontal section 13, the two vertical Connect posts 10, 11.

By means of hinges 4, a casement 2 is hinged movably on the hinge-side vertical post 10, wherein the casement 2 in turn by a hinge-side vertical spar 20, a fitting-side vertical spar 21 and one upper and one lower, the vertical struts 20, 21 connecting horizontal beams 22, 23 is formed , The casement 2 also carries a door panel 24, not shown, and is lockable by fittings 5 on the frame.

As in more detail from the FIG. 2 it can be seen, to create the necessary freedom of movement of hinged on the frame 1 sash 2 below the lower horizontal beam 23 of the sash a gap S to the threshold 12 is present, which applies to seal against drafts and any sealing moisture. In the illustrated embodiment, the threshold 12 includes flush with the room side existing upper edge of a subsequent floor 7, so that no protruding threshold 12 is present and access can be made barrier-free by the door shown, which represents a significant relief for wheelchair users.

To seal the gap S between the horizontal beam 23 and the bottom sill 12, two spaced-apart flap seals 30, 31 are provided, which run parallel to each other and parallel between two end positions shown in solid and dashed lines each one extending in the region of the lower edge of the horizontal spar 23 Axis A1, A2 are pivotable.

In the end position shown in solid lines, the folding seals 30, 31 seal the gap S between the lower horizontal beam 23 and the bottom sill 12, while they release in the end position of the gap S shown in dashed lines to ensure the unobstructed mobility of the sash 2 , A good and tolerances in the width of the gap S compensating seal is promoted by the fact that the free, the axis A1 and A2 facing away from the end 30a, 31 a of the folding seals 30, 31 is elastic, for example in the form of a rubber lip. The movement of the flap seals 30, 31 in the manner described above between the end positions is forcibly controlled in the manner described in more detail below in dependence on the open position of the sash 2.

As is apparent from the vertical sectional view of FIG FIG. 4 can be seen, in a not shown suitable manner, the two hinged seals 30, 31 connected to each other, for example via connecting webs 60 so that they move parallel to each other and upon deflection of one of the two flap seals 30, 31, the respective other flap seal 31, 30, the corresponding parallel movement takes place.

One or more connecting webs 60 may be provided, which also differ from the illustration in FIG FIG. 4 can be positioned, for example in the rebate area of the sash 2.

The folding seal designated by reference number 30, which runs near the wing overhang 210, is designed to project unilaterally over the width B of the casement in the area of the fitting-side vertical spar 21; in the illustrated embodiment, it protrudes approximately parallel to the wing overhang 210 and approximately equidistant over the width B of the wing Sash 2 out.

If now according to arrow X in the FIG. 4 the sash 2 is closed, the supernatant 300 formed by the excess width of the flap seal 30 beats against the marked with P1 stop surface of the fitting-side vertical post 11 of the frame 1 and causes movement of the flap seal 30 in the from the FIG. 2 solid lines shown in solid lines, in which the gap S is sealed. Due to the rigid connection by means of the connecting struts 60, the second flap seal 31 completes this movement.

In addition, a spring-loaded and over the folded side protruding drive button 6 is provided on the hinge side of the hinge side vertical beam 20 of the sash 2, which is in operative connection via a mechanical connection, not shown, with the flap seal 31. If the drive button 6 on the folded side of the sash 2 as in FIG. 4 protrudes shown, is the flap seal 31 in the in the FIG. 2 with dashed lines shown open end position. However, if the sash 2 according to arrow X in FIG. 4 closed, the button 6 comes to the hinge-side vertical post 10 of the frame 1 at the designated by reference surface P2 to the plant and is inserted in further progression of the closing movement of the sash 2 in this. This linear movement of the drive button 6 can be, for example, by means of a suitable translation in a movement of the flap seal 31 in their solid lines in the FIG. 2 use illustrated end position in which the gap S is locked. In this respect, when closing the sash 2, both hinged seals 30, 31 undergo a forced driving force application, in order to reliably seek out the end position closing the gap S, supported by their rigid coupling to one another.

When taking place in the reverse direction opening the sash 2, the spring-loaded drive button 6 exits the sash 2, wherein the spring force used for this purpose, the flap seal 31 and the associated flap seal 30 in their dashed lines in FIG. 2 shown opening position moves.

It can also be provided by means of the supernatant 300 when closing the sash 2 both coupled flap seals in the drawn-in lines FIG. 2 shown to bring the gap S occluding end position, while the opening of the sash 2 then released drive button 6 by means of the associated spring both hinged seals 30, 31 moves to the other, shown with dashed lines end position.

It is understood that instead of the illustrated embodiment, only one of the described drive variants with overhang 300 or drive button 6 for the two coupled flap seals 30, 31 can be used. It is also possible with appropriate frame configuration, in particular the profiles used to form the drive button 6 and / or the supernatant 300 at other positions of the sash 2 or provide multiple drive button 6 or protrusions 300.

Also, the drive of the hinged seals 30, 31 can be done via the fitting 5.

In any case, the folding seals 30, 31 with appropriate length dimensioning able to reliably bridge the expected maximum width of the gap S sealingly.

To make a collision in the FIG. 4 With a reference 31 marked flap seal with the corner E of the vertical post 10 to avoid when closing the sash 2, a hinge-side end portion 31b of the flap seal 31 fixed, ie be executed as remaining in sealing end position sliding seal, ie this area 31 b completes the folding movement of Folding gasket 31 not with, but is firmly in the solid lines in FIG. 2 illustrated end position.

According to the embodiment FIG. 2 In addition, it can be seen that the flush with the room side provided floor 7 final threshold 12 in the area that can be bounded by the two hinged seals 30, 31, a drainage opening 120, for example, a corresponding groove, on the eventual moisture with a drainage hose, not shown here, can be discharged to the outside of the building. As shown, the drainage opening 120 can form a stop for the flap seal 30 or can also be provided at a different position between the two flap seals 30, 31.

From the contrast modified embodiment according to FIG. 3 It can be seen that the bottom sill 12 may also have a slight heel 121, for example, as a stop for the flap seal 31, this paragraph is only a few millimeters and so far does not obstruct the goal of barrier-free access to a building equipped with such a door such a small paragraph is not significant.

With the above-explained door or a corresponding window, it is thus possible to provide a nearly barrier-free or fully accessible access to a building, for example in the field of house entrance doors or patio doors, being sure that over the desired long-term use period a reliable seal of Gap over the threshold 12 is ensured.
