Description

The invention relates to a gate according to the preamble of patent claim 1.

Gates of this type are, for example, realized in the form of so-called. Sectional doors. In these sectional doors, the door leaf consists of a plurality of relative to the path of movement between the closed position and the open position extending pivot axes pivotable door leaf elements.

The movement of the door leaf of a sectional door is guided by means of guide rails, which are approximately parallel to the lateral edges of the door leaf in the Having closed position extending, approximately perpendicularly extending portion, a parallel to the lateral edges of the door leaf in the open position extending horizontal guide rail portion and the two rectilinear horizontally or vertically extending guide rail sections interconnecting arcuate guide rail section.

The transition arrangement of corresponding gates serves on the one hand to seal the transition between the door leaf and the soffit in the closed position and on the other hand for fixing the vertical guide rails. For this purpose, conventional sectional doors have transitional arrangements in the form of so-called lateral frame beams, which are regularly designed as angle profiles made of sheet steel, usually a guide rail having the guide rail legs, an approximately parallel thereto and possibly cooperating with a sealing strip for sealing the transition between the door leaf and soffit serving sealing leg and a connecting leg connecting the guide rail leg with the sealing strip and preferably forming the outer surface of the transition device, the sealing leg extending from the connecting leg towards the door leaf in the closed position so that the connecting leg, guide rail leg and sealing leg have an overall U-profile shortened lateral leg, the sealing leg form. The attachment of the thus executed side frame spar with respect to the soffit can be done either via the guide rail legs or over the connecting leg.

In both cases, the outer boundary surface of the door leaf in the closed position with respect to the remote from the door leaf to be closed space outer surface of the wall having the opening arranged offset, so that enough space for the seal arrangement between the outer surface of the wall having a plane and the outer Boundary surface of the door leaf in the closed position having level remains without the lateral Zargenholm must project beyond the soffit out into the outer space.

In the design of modern buildings separate façade elements are placed on the wall opening having wall on the one hand for aesthetic reasons, on the other hand, but also to provide sufficient thermal or acoustic insulation. It is in particular when placing facade elements to aesthetic For purposes often perceived as disturbing that the door leaf remains visible in the facade.

To eliminate the defect has already been proposed to use separate facade elements for covering the door leaf, with which it can be achieved that the distance between the outer boundary surface of the door leaf in the closed position and the outer wall is bridged, so that the door leaf is no longer recognizable as such as long as it is in the closed position, because the patch on the door leaf separate facade elements are aligned with the other facade elements.

Gates according to the preamble of claim 1 are in the DE 10 2005 023 348 B3 specified. Furthermore, in the US 2009/0223131 A1 Sectional door leaves described with a frame construction in which, for example, made of wood panels are attached to a metal frame.

However, this solution of design problems has proved to be problematic because it must be provided for the area of the door leaves separate facade elements.

In view of the problems described above, the object of the invention is to provide gates which make it possible to provide a desired appearance of a facade without the need for separate facade elements for the area of the door leaf, with which in the closed position a tight transition between the transition arrangement and the door leaf can be guaranteed.

This object is achieved by a development of the known goals, which is characterized essentially in that the door leaf at least one attachable to the outer boundary surface and fixable with respect to the outer boundary surface bridging element for bridging a distance to an outer wall surface of the opening wall and / or or the outer surface of the transition arrangement is assigned in a direction perpendicular to it, ie to the outer surface or to the outer boundary surface extending direction.

The invention is based on the amazingly simple knowledge that it is sufficient to obtain the desired design effect to provide easy to produce and attachable to the door leaf bridging elements with which the offset between Outer wall surface and outer boundary surface of the door leaf can be bridged because such bridging elements are completely covered by the facade elements to be fastened thereto, so that they can be easily manufactured and attached to the outer boundary surface of the door leaf.

Further, it has proved to be advantageous in the context of the invention that it does not require any changes in the door leaf itself in order to bring about the desired creative effect. Also, no change in the transitional arrangement to bridge the distance between the door leaf and the wall having the opening is required. In this context, it has surprisingly been found that the patch on the outer boundary surface of the door leaf bridging elements the movement of the gates, esp. Also the sectional doors, with hinged interconnected Torblattelementen not hinder, provided that a sufficient amount of opening to be closed are provided can. Overall, in the context of the invention, the desired design effect using simple components for mounting possibly more complex but for cladding the rest of the facade anyway existing facade elements are realized on the door leaf.

As already explained above in connection with known gates, the transition arrangement has a fixed relative to the soffit lateral Zargenholm with at least one attached and serving to guide the Torblattbewegung between the open position and the closed position guide rail and a sealing arrangement for sealing the transition between the outer boundary surface of the In this case, realized as an angle profile made of sheet steel Zargenholm conventional goals is taken unchanged, the one fixed relative to the soffit and the guide rail having guide rail legs, an approximately parallel thereto sealing leg and the guide rail leg with the Sealing connecting leg and preferably the outer surface forming connecting leg, wherein the sealing leg, starting from the Connecting leg extending in the direction of the door leaf in the closed position and the Zargenholm can be set in total either in the region of the guide rail leg or in the region of the connecting leg with respect to the soffit.

An attachment of the Zargenholms in the region of the connecting leg is exemplified in the DE 10 2008 028 678 shown. The disclosure of this document is hereby incorporated by reference into this description with regard to a possible attachment of the frame member to the soffit wall.

In the context of the invention, however, it is preferred if the Zargenholm is fixed in the region of the guide rail leg on a soffit surface which is perpendicular to the door leaf in the closed position or at sectional doors perpendicular to the pivot axes. For constructional and design reasons, it has proven to be particularly useful when the outer surface is flush with the wall surface.

Similar to conventional Zargenholmen the sealing leg of Zargenholme inventive gates on its side facing away from the connecting leg edge for receiving a also after attachment of the bridging element and possibly the facade elements it in the closed position can be applied to the outer boundary surface of the door leaf sealing strip designed groove. The Zargenholm can be achieved in total in the form of a cold-formed steel sheet, wherein the groove can be produced by appropriate folding of Zargenholms.

As already explained above in connection with known gates, the invention can be used with particular advantage in so-called sectional doors, in which the door leaf have a plurality of relative to its trajectory between the open position and the closed position extending pivot axes against each other pivotable Torblattelementen. The door leaf elements can be realized, for example, in the form of so-called sandwich elements, in which a foam core is accommodated between two metal shells. In particular, in industrial doors, whose integration in specially designed facades may be of particular importance, it has proven to be advantageous if at least one door leaf element a frame construction with at least two parallel to the pivot axes extending cross members and at least two, preferably three or more perpendicular thereto extending connecting struts, preferably at least one bridging element extends approximately parallel to the connecting struts and on the Torblattaußenseite releasably secured to at least one transverse strut and / or at least one connecting strut.

Particularly in the case of gates according to the invention in the form of sectional doors, it has proved to be expedient to increase the variability in the attachment of facade elements if at least one bridging element is displaceable, in particular slidable in a direction approximately parallel to the transverse struts, with respect to the door leaf element , The bridging element can then be dependent be pushed from the desired attachment point of the facade element thereto in a corresponding position and locked there without it dissolves in the displacement of the door leaf or the door leaf element. As a result, the installation of gates according to the invention is simplified.

The esp. For sectional doors desired displaceability of the bridging elements can be structurally particularly simple if at least one fixed relative to the door leaf and preferably approximately parallel to a transverse strut extending guide element is provided along which the bridging element displaceable and. With respect to which it is preferably fixable.

The guide element can be embodied, for example, in the form of a U-profile with a connecting leg and two outer limbs extending from opposite edges of the connecting leg in a direction extending approximately perpendicular thereto, wherein the edges of the outer limb facing away from the connecting leg are bent towards one another, so that an almost closed space between connecting legs, outer legs and the mutually curved edges is formed, which is open only along a extending between the edges of the outer leg slot. The bridging elements can be fastened thereto by means of a bolt penetrating the bridging element and a space accommodated in the space formed by the guide element, the fitting, on tightening the fastening screw, abutting the outer limbs on the one hand and the edges of the outer limbs bent towards each other on the other hand to achieve such a frictional determination of the bridging elements with respect to the guide elements. The guide element itself can also be screwed onto the door leaf, esp. The cross struts.

In constructions with connecting struts and cross struts, the space between the individual struts of the frame construction can be filled by suitable fillings, such as glazings, but also other design elements. These fillings are possibly unfavorable in connection with the other facade design. Therefore, the fillings can be covered by using inventive structures by attached to the bridging elements facade elements.

It has proved to be particularly advantageous if the bridging elements and / or guide elements can be detachably fixed to the frame construction. For this purpose, at least one transverse strut and / or at least one connecting strut can have a threaded bore for receiving a fastening screw or a corresponding screw bolt passing through the bridging element and / or guide element.

For fixing the bridging elements and / or guide elements on a corresponding frame construction, the bridging element and / or guide element can be easily placed on the outer boundary surface of the frame and fastened thereto by means of the fastening screw.

In connection with the filling of frame constructions often investment strips are used, which are attached to the struts of the frame structure or designed in one piece with it and serve to create possibly plate-shaped fillings. These investment strips can extend over the entire height and / or the entire width of the struts. To increase the flexibility of the attachment of the bridging elements and / or guide elements, it has proven to be expedient if at least one bridging element and / or guide element can be releasably secured to at least one contact strip. For this purpose, the contact strip can be penetrated by a recess for receiving a fastening screw recess. The attachment of the bridging elements and / or guide elements can also be carried out in these constructions, that the fastening screw or the fastening bolt passes through the recess in the contact strip and is determined by using a fastening nut.

As already explained in detail, the construction according to the invention allows a pleasing facade design using simple components. For this purpose, at least one bridging element in the form of a hollow profile, esp. Aluminum hollow profile, with two mutually parallel and each penetrated by a serving for receiving a fastening screw recess wall be realized, wherein the recesses lie in the walls on a common perpendicular to the walls extending straight lines in that the fastening screw passes through the bridging element in a direction perpendicular to the outer boundary surface of the door leaf in the closed position.

To enable a particularly simple determination of the bridging element and / or guide element on the door leaf element, the recess in the wall facing away from the door to be closed with the door panel may have a larger diameter than the recess in the wall to be closed with the door leaf to be closed. In this case, the fastening screw through the first opening can be easily performed and a tool, such as a screwdriver, be used to screw this screw, while the opening in the wall facing the door to be closed with the door closes with a smaller diameter in that a screw head or bolt head, if appropriate with the interposition of a suitable washer, comes into contact with the wall penetrated by the opening.

With regard to ensuring a faultless Torblattbewegung, it has proven to be useful if the length of the bridging element is less than the height of the Torblattelements in a direction parallel to the connecting struts direction.

As can be seen from the above explanation of gates according to the invention, gates according to the invention preferably have at least one facade element which is preferably detachably fastened to the bridging element.

a sectional door according to the prior art.

This in Fig. 4 Sectional gate shown comprises a door leaf with a plurality of executed in a frame construction Torblattelementen 10 and a generally designated 50 transition arrangement in the form of a side frame spar. The lateral Zargenholm comprises a guide rail leg 52 to which a guide rail 60 is fixed, a sealing leg 54 with a serving for receiving a sealing strip 62 groove 56 and the guide rail leg 52 with the parallel thereto sealing leg 54 connecting connecting leg 58 whose outer boundary surface 14 with the outer wall surface 80 of the wall to be closed having the opening to be closed. On the outer wall 80 facade elements 82 are placed. Similarly, 10 facade elements 12 are placed on the outer boundary surface 14 of the door leaf element. However, the facade elements 12 have a substantially greater thickness than the facade elements 82, so that the distance between the outer boundary surface 14 and the outer wall 80 is bridged in a direction perpendicular thereto such that the outer boundary surface 14 of the facade elements 12 with the outer boundary surface 14 of the facade elements 82 is aligned.

At the in Fig. 1 shown arrangement of door leaf elements according to the invention gates bridging elements 30 are placed on the outer boundary surface 14 of a frame structure having Torblattelements 10. Each of the bridging elements 30 is releasably secured to cross members 16 of the frame structure. For this purpose, the bridging elements 30 bores 32, guided by the connecting screws or bolts and can be introduced to secure the bridging elements 30 to the cross struts 16 of the Torblattelements 10 in threaded holes, which are provided in the cross struts 16 or by self-tapping screws in the cross struts sixteenth get cut. The transverse struts 16 of the frame construction are connected to one another via connecting struts 18, which run perpendicular to the transverse struts 16. Between the connecting struts 18 and the transverse struts 16 a space is left, which can be filled by a filling, such as a transparent pane. On the bridging elements 30 facade elements of the same thickness as the facade elements 82 can be placed. It is important in the design of the facade to ensure that the pitch of the facade elements 82 in the vertical direction with the height of the door leaf elements 10 is compatible, so that a continuous gap between successive facade elements 82 is continued in the area of the door leaf elements 10. The joint then runs in the horizontal direction between the hingedly interconnected Torblattelementen 10th

As in Fig. 2 can be seen, the bridging elements 30 are executed in the embodiment of the invention shown in the drawing as hollow sections with a substantially rectangular cross-section. Opposite walls, one of which is applied to the outer boundary surface 14 of the Torblattelements 10 and the other facing away from the door to be closed with the door space, are penetrated by holes 32 which lie on a perpendicular to the walls straight lines, so that the holes 32 can be penetrated by screws. In this case, the bore 32 in the wall facing away from the space to be fired is designed with a larger diameter than the bore 32 in the wall to be applied to the outer boundary surface 14 of the door leaf element 10.

In the Fig. 3 illustrated embodiment of the invention differs essentially by the in the Fig. 1 and 2 illustrated embodiment that the bridging elements 30 are slidably secured to the transverse struts 16 of the door leaf element 10. For this purpose, 10 guide elements 100 are attached to the cross struts 16 of the door leaf element. The guide elements 100 are designed in the form of U-profiles with a voltage applied to the transverse struts 16 connecting leg and two extending from opposite edges of the connecting leg in perpendicular planes extending outer legs. The edges of the outer limb facing away from the connecting leg are bent towards one another, so that the U-profile forms a closed chamber with the exception of a slot formed between the edges of the outer limb facing away from the connecting leg, as is particularly clear in FIG Fig. 3b ) is recognizable.

Self-tapping screws 110 are provided for fastening the guide elements 100 to the cross struts 16, which pass through holes in the connecting leg, wherein the holes are dimensioned so that a screw head rests against the material region adjacent to the holes.

For fixing the bridging elements 30 to the guide elements 100, threaded bolts 120 are provided, which pass through holes in the bridging elements 30 and are screwed into shaped pieces 122. The fittings 122 are received in the channel formed in the guide member. With the screws 120 loosened, the bridging elements 30 can be guided by those in the channels in the guide elements 100 recorded fittings 21 are moved along the guide elements 100. The bridging elements 30 can be locked by tightening the bolts 120 at the desired location. When tightening the bolts 120, the shaped pieces 122 are applied to the mutually bent edges of the outer legs of the guide elements 100, resulting in a non-positive fixing of the bridging elements 30 with respect to the guide elements 100.

The invention is not limited to the embodiment explained with reference to the drawing. Rather, the use of bridging elements in wood construction or solid construction is also intended. Also, gates according to the invention can be designed with so-called sandwich panels, in which a foam core is accommodated between two metal shells.

Furthermore, the invention can also be used profitably in so-called tilt gates with integral door leaves.
