Description

The invention relates to a holding device for producing a detachable connection between open door or window sash elements. In particular, the invention relates to a holding device for producing a detachable connection between open sliding, folding or rotary wing elements.

Faltflügelelementvorrichtungen, so-called folding walls are known from the art, in which the individual foldable wing elements are usually performed in a bottom-side and in a ceiling-side rail. In order to keep the space requirement of an open folding wall low, it is customary in this case that the individual wing elements can be brought into a position in which they are arranged at an angle of substantially 90 ° to the direction of movement defined by the guide rails. The so juxtaposed and pivoted in such a position or folded wing elements then claimed, strung into a group, only relatively little space.

Furthermore, walls are also known, which have rotary wing elements, which can be pivoted when opening the wall in such an almost complete 180 ° angle, that the individual wing elements abut flat after opening. Also combinations of such wing elements in combined rotary folding walls are known, with individual wing elements as rotary wing elements are formed and can be correspondingly flat against its adjacent wing pivot and turn turn other wing elements of the combined rotary folding wall as described above can unfold against each other.

Finally, the combination with individual sliding wing elements is known, with such sliding leaves can be moved relative to adjacent wing elements.

In order to ensure a minimum space requirement of the open wing elements, all these conventional solutions have in common that open holding devices are provided on the respective wall or door surfaces of the individual elements which face each other in the open state, which between the individual open wing elements with each other releasably connect. For example, combinations of so-called anchor plates are widely used with holding magnets respectively arranged opposite them in the opened state, whereby the individual wing elements are connected together in an open position due to the magnetic force applied by these conventional holding devices in the unfolded position. By these conventional solutions, the desired small footprint of the wing elements is guaranteed in its open position usually, while the wing elements are securely held in the open position. If the folding wall is then closed again, in such conventional solutions, only the magnetic force of the combination of anchor plate and holding magnet must be overcome, so that then the individual wing elements can pivot back into their closed position or fold back or move.

The previously known solutions now have the disadvantage that their assembly and in particular their adjustment relative to the respective counterpart is cumbersome and difficult. For example, it is known that the wing elements described above by aging processes and, for example, by room temperature variations warp or distort, so that the conventional holding devices with time, if necessary, no longer face in the open state of the wing elements. This requires a complex readjustment of the said conventional holding devices, which is particularly in the in The usually used Verschraubungslösungen brings difficulties with it and may optically as well as corrosion-chemically unfavorable exposed, no longer used mounting holes in the wing element surfaces leaves.

Due to this problem, the invention has for its object to provide a holding device for producing a detachable connection between open door or window sash elements, wherein the holding properties and optionally also the optical properties of the holding device are improved.

This object is achieved by the features of claim 1. In particular, the object is achieved in that a holding device according to the invention for producing a detachable connection between open door or window sash elements, in particular sliding, folding or rotary wing elements, one on a horizontal guide element, in particular one Guide roller, fixed or attachable arm and at least one with a locking counterpart in a releasable locking state lockable element.

The advantages of such a holding device according to the invention are clearly obvious. Characterized in that the locking element, which ensures the production of the releasable connection with the respective adjacent wing element, is provided on an arm, which in turn is arranged on a horizontal guide element, in particular on a guide roller, the anchoring point of the holding device is moved into an area which of possible distortions or warping of the individual wing elements over time is as good as not affected. The holding device according to the invention fastened or attachable to the horizontal guide element thus ensures a reliable detachable connection between open door or window wing elements, if the individual wing elements are displaced, for example due to aging in relation to the guide rails with respect to their state at the time of installation.

Advantageous developments of the invention will become apparent from the dependent claims.

Thus, it is provided, for example, to arrange the holding device and / or the locking counterpart concealed at least laterally in a guide region. Such a guide region is understood to be the region in which a guided displacement or pivoting of the individual guide elements, in particular for opening or closing the sliding or folding wall or door, is possible. As a rule, this will be a correspondingly designed guide rail, within which, for example, rollers can slide along or roll along in order to enable such a displacement or pivoting of the individual wing elements.

By such at least lateral covering of the holding device or the locking counterpart thus those elements that allow the production of the releasable connection between the individual wing elements, external influences are largely removed, so that accidental damage or the like of the holding device or the locking counterpart is largely avoided , Furthermore, the visual appearance is improved by the at least lateral covering. It is preferably provided that the holding device and / or the locking counterpart is or are concealed from at least three sides. In this case, it is provided in particular that a possibly existing guide rail limiting lateral holding profiles, which ensure the lateral covering of the holding device and the locking counterpart, are supplemented by an upper end on a third side, for example, by a consisting of insulating webs connection of these holding profiles with each other. Furthermore, it is also possible, for example, completely to provide the holding device according to the invention and / or the locking counterpart within a possibly provided and further described above guide rail, so that the holding device or the locking counterpart are arranged almost completely hidden and protected. In this way, an even further improvement of the visual appearance in connection with a further increased protection against inadvertent damage of the holding device or the locking counterpart can be achieved.

Furthermore, it can be provided that the locking element is arranged on the end side on a horizontal guide element facing away from the first end of the arm. While usually the opposite, the horizontal guide element facing first end of the arm attachment to the horizontal guide element, so usually serves on the guide roller, can be shortened by providing the locking element on the horizontal guide element remote from the first end of the arm material saving to exactly that length, which is approximately the minimum Distance between adjacent wing elements in the opening position corresponds to each other. In other words, it is thereby possible to provide an arm of the holding device, which must be formed only as long as just needed, which saves material and costs.

Preferably, it is provided that the locking element is designed as a locking claw. Such a locking claw is formed in its vertical projection usually as an open arc with a center angle of slightly more than 180 °, so that when transferring the wing member in its open position and approaching an adjacent locking counterpart such a locking claw in the in its projection can engage circular locking counter-element. In this way, a reliable holding and yet easily detachable connection between the open door or window sash elements are created, in which case when the door or window sash elements are to be closed again, only the latching force of the locking claw must be overcome again to the connection to solve. As a result, a reliable and without tools again releasable connection between open door or window sash elements is created in a particularly simple manner.

Furthermore, it can be advantageously provided that the holding device is axially fixed or attachable to the horizontal guide element. For this purpose, a horizontal guide element, which is generally designed as a guide roller, can have an axle journal which extends beyond the circular surfaces in at least one direction, which vertically delimit the generally disk-shaped guide roller. At such a journal axial fixing of the holding device according to the invention is particularly easy. Due to the axial attachment a particularly advantageous power transmission of the holding forces in the locked state is possible.

Furthermore, it may alternatively or additionally also be provided to mount or fasten the locking counterpart in an axially mountable manner on the horizontal guide element. In addition to a good force introduction of the locking forces in each case, in particular when both the holding device and the locking counterpart are axially fixed or fastened fastened, it is possible, the locking counterpart for engagement of an adjacent holding device in a group of interlocking swivel or Slidable wing elements form together with the second end portion of the holding device. In other words, in this case, the attachment point of the arm of a holding device and a locking counterpart provided for engagement with the locking element of an adjacent holding device form a unit. By such a one-piece design of holding device and locking counterpart for engagement with an adjacent holding device a particularly simple structure and a particularly simple production of such a holding device according to the invention is ensured.

Likewise, it can be provided that the arm of the holding device extends as far as possible in a direction defined by the horizontal guide elements displacement direction. In particular, in the case of folding and sliding sash elements, a connection between the adjacent open door or window sash elements is therefore possible by the shortest route and thus with little material expenditure.

Just as well, however, it may also be provided that the arm is shaped in particular in the case of rotary-wing elements in such a way that it largely describes the opening curve of the rotary-wing element in the respective fastening spacing. In this case, it is then additionally provided that the locking counterpart slides during pivoting of the rotary vane member in the arm until reaching the at least one locking element. It is advantageously provided in this context that such a curved or curved arm slides on both sides relative to the locking counterpart on this, and then to allow in one or more provided locking positions, for example by suitable recesses in the arm releasable locking the locking counterpart between the two sides of the arm ,

In a preferred manner, it is provided that the arm and / or the at least one locking element is formed or formed from a flexible material. The use of a flexible material can in this case the arm and only on a portion of the arm, for example, on the end region in which the locking element is provided, such as a locking claw limit. As flexible materials are in particular polyamide or spring steel into consideration. By such a flexible material in particular, when a locking claw is to be used, a particularly simple manufacture of the detachable connection or a particularly simple release of the compound ensures while maintaining the stability and safety of the compound produced.

Furthermore, it can be provided that, when a holding device according to the invention is used on a group of sliding or folding-wing elements, a plurality of respective wing elements of this group which are adjacent in their opening position each have a holding device according to the invention. In this case, in each case the respective locking element of the holding device of a wing element of the group with the locking counterpart of the respective adjacent wing element in the releasable locking state can be brought. By such and with the holding devices according to the invention possible chain-like arrangement of the individual holding devices on the respective wing elements, a particularly simple construction of a latchable sliding or folding wall is possible.

In the following two embodiments of the holding device according to the invention will be explained in more detail with reference to the drawings.
