EP2281963B1 - Movable partition wall - Google Patents

Description

The invention relates to a movable partition wall according to the preamble of patent claim 1.

In the DE 195 41 758 A1 a generic locking and locking device for a pivotable and / or sliding door is described in which the locking bolt and the locking arm can be actuated simultaneously via a transmission arrangement in communication with a drive unit. The gear arrangement for actuating the locking bolt is elaborately implemented via a worm gear and gears.

From the DE 197 35 238 A1 a device for locking a door of a partition element is known. In this case, a safety device is provided, which supports the door in its closed position on the partition wall element.

From the DE 93 17 236 U1 is a movable partition with several along a fixed track rail by means of rollers of roller carriage slidably guided wall elements known. At least one of the wall elements is designed as a pivoting element in that it can be locked at least in a position relative to the running rail and can be pivoted out of the plane of the running rail. The pivoting element has a support profile, which is connected via suspension devices with the roller carriage, and a pivoting profile which is pivotable about an axis of rotation relative to the support profile. There is provided a first locking device for locking the support profile relative to the running rail and a second locking device for locking the pivot profile relative to the support profile. The first locking device has ramps, which are run over by a wing-side, spring-loaded latch upon reaching the locking position of the pivot member, whereupon the bolt engages in a stationary latch receptacle. In order to lift the pivoting element relative to the running rail plane, the pivoting hook of the second locking device must first be manually adjusted. Conversely, after manually locking the pivoting hook, the latch of the first locking device must be unlocked in a second manual operating step. This is expensive. Furthermore, incorrect operation is possible, for example, by accidental Entriegein and swinging the pivot member before it is locked against the running rail.

The invention has for its object to provide a movable partition, which is simpler compared to the known prior art and easier to use.

The object is solved by the features of patent claim 1.

The subclaims form advantageous embodiments of the invention.

The first locking device and the second locking device are arranged together in a coupling device, wherein the coupling device has an actuating element for the common actuation of the first locking device and the second locking device. As a result, the actuation of the partition - with a simple structure - much easier. Operating errors are excluded because the correct operating sequence is automatically ensured.

The first locking device is designed as a displaceable latch, which in the locked position into a first, e.g. Running track side latch receptacle can intervene.

The second locking device may be formed as a pivotable latch, which in the locked position in a second, e.g. pivot profile side latch receptacle engages.

The coupling device has a simple structure in that it has only three main components, namely a first coupling element, a second coupling element and a third coupling element.

For example, the first coupling element can be arranged on or in the track rail and store the first latch receptacle. The second coupling element can be arranged on or in the support profile and support the actuating element as well as the first latch and the second latch. The third coupling element can be arranged on or in the pivot profile and store the second latch receptacle.

The pivotable latch may be formed as a free end of a pivot member which is pivotally mounted to the second coupling element by means of a hinge, the pivoting member being e.g. may have as an angled slot trained backdrop. As a result, the actuation of the pivot member takes place only from or until a certain position of the bolt.

The displaceable bolt is designed as a free end of a thrust member, which is slidably guided in the second coupling element, but not rotatably guided.

The actuating element, which is rotatably but non-displaceably mounted in the second coupling element, has a spindle which engages in the thrust member designed as a spindle nut, so that a rotation of the actuating element causes a displacement of the thrust member.

On the thrust member, a bolt may be arranged, which engages in the slot of the pivot member, so that a displacement of the thrust member causes a pivoting of the pivot member.

In the following an embodiment in the drawing with reference to the figures will be explained in more detail.

In the Fig. 1 is a movable partition 1, consisting of several wall elements 2, shown. The wall elements 2 are formed in this embodiment as all-glass wings and have at the horizontal upper and lower edges of the glass sheets each have an edge profile 3, 4, which may be formed as a clamping profile. The upper edge profile 3 is connected via suspension devices with roller carriage 8, the rollers 9 roll in a mounted on the building ceiling 11 running rail 10. The lower edge profile 4 may have (not shown in this drawing) fittings for floor guidance and / or locking the wall elements 2 with each other and / or with respect to the building floor 13. Alternatively, other embodiments of the wall elements 2, for example, as so-called integrated glass elements with at least two spaced glass sheets and intermediate support profiles, or as wood or metal wings are conceivable.

In the drawing according to Fig. 1 closes right to the movable partition 1 a stationary building wall 12 at. To release the covered by the movable partition wall 1 opening the wall elements 2 are displaced to the right, with a parking space for the wall elements 2 is in the region of the building wall 12.

The middle wall element in the drawing is deviating from the other wall elements 2, designed as a pivoting element 2a. The pivoting element allows for a closed partition a passage with the width of a wall element 2, without the wall elements 2 must be moved from its closed front forming position in the parking space.

The upper edge profile of the pivoting element 2a is for this purpose formed in two parts and comprises a support profile 3a, which is guided over two roller carriage 8 in the stationary running rail 10, and a pivot profile 3b, which by means of a joint 5 is pivotally mounted relative to the support profile 3a. Between the lower edge profile 4 of the pivoting element 2a and the building floor 13 there is a further joint 6, the hinge pin between a first position, in which it is completely recessed in the edge profile 4, and a second position, in which it engages in a bottom-side receptacle, is adjustable. Preferably, the axes of rotation of the two joints 5, 6 are arranged coaxially to each other.

As long as it is not in its position corresponding to the closed dividing wall 1, the pivoting element 2a must be secured against undesired pivoting. By contrast, pivoting of the pivoting element 2a is expressly required if it is in its position corresponding to the closed partition wall 1, whereas its displacement relative to the running rail 10 is then undesirable. In order to selectively secure the pivoting element 2a against displacement or pivoting, a coupling device 14 is provided in the region of the upper horizontal edge of the pivoting element 2a.

In the perspective view according to Fig. 2 the three essential components of the coupling device 14 are shown, namely a first coupling element 15, a second coupling element 16 and a third coupling element 17th

The first coupling element 15 is mounted on the running rail 10 by means of a plurality of screws 19 which pass through slot-like openings 18 of the first coupling element 15, height adjustable, while the second coupling element 16 by means of further screws 18 which pass through openings 19 formed as through holes 16 of the second coupling element 16 at the supporting profile 3a of the pivoting element 2a is fixed, and by means of further screws 18, the third coupling element 17 is fixed in a corresponding manner to the pivot profile 3b of the pivoting element. Of course, other suitable types of fastening for mounting the coupling elements 15, 16, 17 are possible instead of the illustrated screw.

In the perspective view according to Fig. 3 the components stored in the body 20 of the second coupling element 16 are shown. The actuating element 26, which has a tool engagement, for example for an Allen wrench, accessible from below, is rotatably mounted in the body 20 of the second coupling element 16. Two guide pins 27, which engage in an annular groove of the actuating element 26, prevent displacement of the rotatable actuating element 26. The actuating element 26 has a spindle 28 which engages in a trained as a spindle nut, slidably guided in the body 20 of the second coupling member 16 thrust member 21 , At its upper end, the push member 21 has a latch 22, which in the position according to Fig. 3 completely extended out of the body 20 of the second coupling element 16. By rotation of the actuating element 26, the bolt 22 can be completely retracted into the body 20 of the second coupling element 16. In the body 20 of the second coupling element 16, a rotary joint 24 is also provided, which serves for the pivotable mounting of a pivot member 23. The essentially L-shaped, in Fig. 4 separately shown pivot member has at its free end a further latch 25, which in the position according to Fig. 3 completely retracted into the body 20 of the second coupling element 16. For movement coupling with the actuating element 26, the pivot member 23 has an angle formed as an oblique slot 30, in which engages an existing on the pusher member 21 pin 29. By rotation of the actuating element 26, a displacement of the thrust member 21 is effected, wherein via the bolt 29 and the link 30 at the same time also a pivoting of the pivot member 23 takes place. Thus, the latch 23 can be completely extend out of the body 20 of the second coupling element 16.

• In der Stellung gemäß Fig. 5 , welche auch der Stellung gemäß Fig. 3 entspricht, ist der erste Riegel 22 vollständig aus dem zweiten Koppelelement 16 ausgefahren und greift in eine im ersten Koppelelement 15 angeordnete Riegelaufnahme 31 ein. Somit ist das (hier nicht dargestellte) Tragprofil 3a gegen unbeabsichtigtes Verschieben gegenüber der (hier ebenfalls nicht dargestellten) Laufschiene 10 gesichert. Der zweite Riegel 25 befindet sich dagegen in einer vollständig in das zweite Koppelelement 16 eingefahrenen Position, so dass ein Verschwenken des (hier ebenfalls nicht dargestellten) Schwenkprofils 3b gegenüber dem Tragprofil 3a ermöglicht ist. Das den zweiten Riegel 25 tragende Schwenkglied 23 wird durch den in seine Kulisse 30 eingreifenden Bolzen 29 des Schubglieds 21 in dieser Stellung gehalten.

In the Fig. 5 to 8 different positions of the coupling device 14 are shown:

• In the position according to Fig. 5 Which also the position shown in Fig. 3 corresponds, the first latch 22 is fully extended from the second coupling element 16 and engages in a arranged in the first coupling element 15 bolt receptacle 31 a. Thus, the support profile 3a (not shown here) is against unintentional Move against the (also not shown here) running rail 10 secured. By contrast, the second latch 25 is located in a completely retracted position in the second coupling element 16, so that a pivoting of the (also not shown here) pivot profile 3b relative to the support profile 3a is possible. The second latch 25 supporting pivot member 23 is held by the engaging in its slot 30 pin 29 of the pusher member 21 in this position.

After a first Drehbetätigen the actuating element 26 is in the Fig. 6 reached position shown. The push member 21 has moved down a first distance, so that the bolt 22 is no longer completely engaged in the bolt receptacle 31, but still prevents the displacement of the support profile 3a relative to the running rail 10. With the push member 21 and the bolt 29 has moved down and along the link 30 of the pivot member 23 so that the pivot member 23 is pivoted by a first angle of rotation down. Although arranged at the free end of the pivot member 23, second latch 25 does not fully engage, but already with its tip in the arranged in the third coupling element 17 bolt receptacle 32 and prevents in this position already pivoting of the pivot profile 3b relative to the support section 3a.

After another rotational actuation of the actuating element 26 is in the Fig. 7 reached position shown. The thrust member 21 has moved down a further distance, so that the bolt 22 engages only with its tip in the bolt receptacle 31, but still prevents the displacement of the support section 3a relative to the running rail 10. With the pusher 21, the bolt 29 has further moved down and along along the link 30 of the pivot member 23, so that the pivot member 23 is pivoted downward by a further rotation angle and the second latch 25 engages further into the latch receptacle 32. In this position, the bolt 25 takes on the bolt receptacle 32, the weight of the support profile 3b with the connected disc.

After another rotational actuation of the actuator 26 is finally in the Fig. 8 reached position shown. The pusher member 21 has moved down a further distance and reaches its lower end position, so that the latch 22 no longer engages in the latch receptacle 31 "but is completely retracted into the second coupling element 16, thus displacing the support profile 3a With the pusher 21, the pin 29 has moved further down and along along the link 30 of the pivot member 23 in its end position, so that the pivot member 23 is pivoted by a further rotation angle downwards also in its end position and the second latch 25 now fully engages in the latch receptacle 32.

For locking the support profile 3a relative to the running rail 10 and for unlocking the pivot profile 3b relative to the support profile 3a, the actuating element 26 is rotationally actuated in the opposite direction, so that starting from the position according to FIG Fig. 8 finally the position according to Fig. 5 is reached.
