Description

Die Erfindung bezieht sich auf einen Tür- und / oder Fensterstopper gemäß den im Oberbegriff des Patentanspruchs 1 angegebenen Merkmalen.The invention relates to a door and / or window stopper according to the features specified in the preamble of patent claim 1.

Aus der EP 2 069 598 B1 ist ein derartiger Tür- und / oder Fensterstopper bekannt, welcher eine äußere, mindestens zu einer Spitze auslaufende, Kontur aufweist und bevorzugt einen im Wesentlichen der äußeren Kontur entsprechenden inneren Hohlraum enthält. Der Stopper enthält ein Außenteil aus Gummi oder einem biegeelastischen gummiartigen thermoplastischen Kunststoff mit einem relativ hohen Reibungskoeffizienten sowie einen vom Außenteil umgebenen Innenteil, welcher gegenüber dem Außenteil eine erhöhte Biegefestigkeit aufweist. Ferner weist der Stopper zwei zur genannten Spitze hin aufeinander zulaufende Arme auf, welche im Bereich der Spitze miteinander verbunden sind. Wenigstens einer der genannten Arme des innenteils weist zur Spitze hin abnehmende Wanddicken derart auf, dass dort die Wanddicke des innenteils und / oder dessen Arm größer ist als in einem Erdbereich, in welchem die Arme miteinander verbunden sind. Dieser Tür- und / oder Fensterstopper hat sich für viele Anwendungsfälle sehr gut bewährt. Sind jedoch die Abstände oder Spalten von Türen oder Fenstern im geöffneten Zustand zum Boden oder zu einem Rahmen recht groß, so können sich Schwierigkeiten bei der Handhabung des bekannten Stoppers ergeben. Insoweit könnte grundsätzlich der Stopper größer dimensioniert werden, doch würde hierdurch der Herstellungs- und Materialaufwand vergrößert. Auch das Gewicht und somit die Handhabung würden nachteilig beeinflusst.From the EP 2 069 598 B1 Such a door and / or window stopper is known, which has an outer, at least to a tip expiring, contour and preferably contains a substantially corresponding to the outer contour inner cavity. The stopper includes an outer part made of rubber or a flexurally elastic rubber-like thermoplastic material with a relatively high coefficient of friction and an inner part surrounded by the outer part, which has an increased flexural strength relative to the outer part. Furthermore, the stopper has two arms converging towards the tip, which arms are connected to one another in the region of the tip. At least one of said arms of the inner part has decreasing wall thicknesses toward the tip such that there the wall thickness of the inner part and / or its arm is greater than in an earth region in which the arms are connected to each other. This door and / or window stopper has proven very good for many applications. However, if the distances or gaps of doors or windows when opened to the ground or to a frame are quite large, difficulties in handling the known stopper may result. In that regard, in principle, the stopper could be made larger, but this would increase the manufacturing and material costs. The weight and thus the handling would be adversely affected.

Ferner ist aus der DE 93 11 237 U1 ein Türstopperkeil bekannt mit einer Auflauffläche für eine Unterkante eines Türflügels. Dieser Keil enthält an seiner Unterseite ein mit dem Boden zur Auflage bringbares Federblatt, welches beim Auflaufen des Türflügels zusammendrückbar ist. Der Keil und das Federblatt sind etwa V-förmig zueinander angeordnet und miteinander verbunden, wobei in der Gebrauchsstellung, in welcher das Federblatt auf dem Boden aufliegt, der Keil sich über dem Federblatt befindet.Furthermore, from the DE 93 11 237 U1 a Türstopperkeil known with a ramp surface for a lower edge of a door leaf. This wedge contains on its underside a can be brought to the ground for support spring leaf, which is compressible when running the door leaf. The wedge and the spring leaf are arranged approximately V-shaped to each other and connected to each other, wherein in the position of use, in which the spring leaf rests on the ground, the wedge is located above the spring leaf.

Hiervon ausgehend liegt der Erfindung die Aufgabe zugrunde, den Tür- und / oder Fensterstopper der genannten Art dahingehend weiterzubilden, dass die aufgezeigten Nachteile vermieden werden, um insbesondere den Einsatz und / oder eine einfache Handhabung bei recht großen Abständen einer Tür oder eines Fensters im geöffneten Zustand zum Boden und / oder Rahmen zu ermöglichen. Gleichwohl soll der Tür- und / oder Fensterstopper auch bei vergleichsweise geringen Abständen und / oder Spalten zum Einsatz gelangen können. Des Weiteren soll ein geringer Herstellungs- und Materialaufwand erforderlich sein, wobei eine hohe Flexibilität und der Einsatz über einen großen Bereich der genannten Abstände oder Spalte ermöglicht werden soll.On this basis, the invention has the object, the door and / or window stopper of the type mentioned in that the disadvantages are avoided, in particular the use and / or easy handling at fairly large distances of a door or a window in the open Condition to the ground and / or frame allow. Nevertheless, the door and / or window stopper should be able to be used even at comparatively small distances and / or gaps. Furthermore, a low manufacturing and material costs to be required, with a high flexibility and use over a large range of said distances or gaps should be possible.

Die Lösung dieser Aufgabe erfolgt gemäß den im Patentanspruch 1 angegebenen Merkmalen.The solution of this task is carried out according to the features specified in claim 1.

Der erfindungsgemäße Tür- und/ oder Fensterstopper, nachfolgend kurz Stopper genannt, zeichnet sich durch einen einfachen konstruktiven Aufbau aus und ermöglicht bei geringem Materialeinsatz und/ oder hoher Flexibilität die Überbrückung recht großer Spalte oder Abstände von Türen oder Fenstern zum Boden oder Rahmen im geöffneten Zustand, um somit eine funktionssichere Arretierung der Türen oder Fenster zu erreichen. Der Stopper enthält wenigstens zwei mit einem Kopplungskörper verbundene Äste, welche ausgehend vom Kopplungskörper V-artig auseinanderlaufen und/ oder gespreizt angeordnet sind. In zweckmäßiger Weise bilden die beiden Spitzen der Äste und das Ende des Kopplungskörpers näherungsweise ein gleichseitiges Dreieck. Dies hat sich als besonders vorteilhaft erwiesen, die Spitzen der Äste in einem Abstand zueinander anzuordnen, welche im Wesentlichen und/ oder zumindest näherungsweise gleichgroß ist wie der Abstand wenigstens einer der genannten Spitzen zum Ende des Kopplungskörpers. Die Äste weisen von einem Verbindungsbereich, welcher dem Kopplungskörper zugewandt und/ oder diesem zugeordnet ist, ausgehende und an den Spitzen endende Innenflächen auf. Weiterhin besitzt der Kopplungskörper zwei Außenflächen, an welche Außenflächen des jeweiligen Astes anschließen, wobei die Außenflächen der Äste ebenfalls an den Astspitzen enden. In bevorzugter Weise sind die Äste zu den Spitzen hin insbesondere konisch verjüngt ausgebildet, wobei zwischen den Innenflächen der beiden Äste ein Freiraum vorhanden ist. Die Äste sind vorteilhaft konkav-konvex ausgebildet und / oder verlaufen zu Ihren Spitzen in entgegen gesetzten Richtungen voneinander weg zur Seite und / oder nach außen. Vorteilhaft sind die Äste gebogen ausgebildet, wobei die miteinander verbundenen Innenflächen konvex ausgebildet sind und die Außenflächen konkav ausgebildet sind. An die bevorzugt konischen Innenflächen schließen im Bereich der Spitzen die Außenflächen der Äste an, welche bevorzugt konkav zurücklaufen bis zum Kopplungskörper bzw. dessen Außenflächen. Alternativ können im Rahmen der Erfindung, die vom Kopplungskörper V-artig gespreizt ausgehenden Äste derart ausgebildet sein, dass zumindest die jeweilige Innenfläche und/ oder Außenfläche im Wesentlichen eben ausgebildet sind.The door and / or window stoppers according to the invention, referred to below as stoppers, is characterized by a simple design and allows for low material usage and / or high flexibility bridging quite large gaps or gaps of doors or windows to the floor or frame in the open state so as to achieve a functionally reliable locking of the doors or windows. The stopper contains at least two branches connected to a coupling body which, starting from the coupling body, diverge in a V-like manner and / or are arranged spread apart. Conveniently, the two tips of the branches and the end of the coupling body form approximately an equilateral triangle. This has proven to be particularly advantageous to arrange the tips of the branches at a distance from each other which is substantially and / or at least approximately the same size as the distance of at least one of said tips to the end of the coupling body. The branches have, from a connection region which faces and / or is assigned to the coupling body, outgoing and ending at the tips inner surfaces. Furthermore, the coupling body has two outer surfaces, to which connect outer surfaces of the respective branch, wherein the outer surfaces of the branches also end at the branch tips. Preferably, the branches are in particular conically tapered towards the tips, wherein between the inner surfaces of the two branches, a free space is available. The branches are advantageously concave-convex and / or extend to their tips in opposite directions away from each other to the side and / or out. Advantageously, the branches are formed bent, wherein the interconnected inner surfaces are convex and the outer surfaces are concave. In the region of the tips, the outer surfaces of the branches, which preferably run concavely back to the coupling body or its outer surfaces, adjoin the preferably conical inner surfaces. Alternatively, in the frame According to the invention, the branches that are spread out in a V-like manner from the coupling body may be designed in such a way that at least the respective inner surface and / or outer surface are essentially planar.

Beim Einsetzen des Stoppers in einen Spalt zwischen einer Tür bzw. einem Fenster und einem Boden oder Rahmen werden die Äste auseinander gespreizt, wobei der Abstand der Spitzen vergrößert und eine Vorspannung derart erzeugt wird, dass der Stopper im Spalt eingeklemmt wird, wobei eine Haltekraft vorgegeben wird. Nach dem Einsetzen des Stoppers in einen Spalt kann in einfacher Weise, insbesondere durch Zusammendrücken der Äste und / oder der Spitzen die Vorspannung und somit die Haltekraft vorgegeben und / oder erhöht werden. Infolge der Verjüngung der Äste zu den Spitzen hin, werden in bevorzugter Weise eine große Flexibilität und / oder ein großer Federweg erreicht. Der zwischen den Ästen und / oder deren Innenflächen vorhandene Freiraum ist derart ausgebildet, dass das Einsetzen des Stoppers in einen Spalt und / oder die Bewegungen der Arme zur Vorgabe und / oder Erhöhung der Vorspannung bzw. Haltekraft funktionssicher durchführbar sind.Upon insertion of the stopper into a gap between a door and a window and a floor or frame, the branches are spread apart, whereby the distance of the tips is increased and a bias voltage is generated such that the stopper is clamped in the gap, wherein a holding force predetermined becomes. After inserting the stopper into a gap, the pretension and thus the holding force can be predetermined and / or increased in a simple manner, in particular by compressing the branches and / or the tips. As a result of the tapering of the branches towards the tips, a great deal of flexibility and / or a large spring travel are achieved in a preferred manner. The existing between the branches and / or the inner surfaces of the free space is formed such that the insertion of the stopper in a gap and / or the movements of the arms to specify and / or increase the bias or holding force are functionally feasible.

In einer bevorzugten Ausführungsform enthält der Stopper und/ oder dessen Äste wenigstens einen inneren Hohlraum. Der Hohlraum befindet sich innerhalb eines klammerartigen Innenteils, welches im Bereich der Äste zwei Arme enthält, welches gegenüber einem Außenteil eine erhöhte Biegesteifigkeit aufweist. Der Außenteil des Stoppers oder zumindest der äußere Rand des Stoppers und/ oder dessen Äste besteht aus Gummi oder einem biegeelastischen, gummiartigen thermoplastischen Kunststoff und/ oder einem Elastomer mit einem relativ hohen Reibungskoeffizienten, wodurch eine funktionssichere Festlegung an einer Tür oder an einem Fenster beziehungsweise zugeordneten Rahmenteilen oder einem Boden erreicht wird. Ferner ist von besonderer Bedeutung, dass die Arme des Innenteils des jeweiligen Astes zur Spitze hin abnehmende Wanddicken derart aufweisen, dass die Wanddicke des Innenteils und/ oder dessen Arm im Bereich der Spitze kleiner ist als in dem genannten Verbindungsbereich und/ oder im Bereich des Kopplungskörpers.In a preferred embodiment, the stopper and / or its branches contain at least one inner cavity. The cavity is located within a clamp-like inner part, which contains two arms in the region of the branches, which has an increased flexural rigidity in relation to an outer part. The outer part of the stopper or at least the outer edge of the stopper and / or its branches is made of rubber or a flexurally elastic, rubbery thermoplastic material and / or an elastomer having a relatively high coefficient of friction, whereby a functionally reliable fixing to a door or to a window or assigned Frame parts or a floor is reached. Furthermore, it is of particular importance that the arms of the inner part of the respective branch have decreasing wall thicknesses towards the tip such that the wall thickness of the inner part and / or its arm is smaller in the region of the tip than in the said connection region and / or in the region of the coupling body ,

Der Stopper enthält zwei im Wesentlichen plane Oberflächen, welche im Bereich des Endes des Basiskörpers einen vorgegebenen und/ oder recht kleinen Abstand zueinander aufweisen. Zu den Ästen und/ oder den genannten Spitzen hin vergrößert sich der Abstand der einander gegenüberliegenden Oberflächen. Der Stopper ist somit keilförmig ausgebildet und kann, sofern er mit einer der Oberflächen flach auf dem Boden aufliegt, beispielsweise mit dem Fuß unter eine Tür geschoben oder gekickt werden, um bei einem relativ engen Spalt eine Tür zu arretieren. Der Stopper weist im Bereich des Kopplungskörpers in vorteilhafter Weise eine geringere Tiefe oder Dicke auf als an den Spitzen. Damit ist eine nicht unerhebliche Materialersparnis erreicht, wobei gleichwohl eine hohe Steifigkeit quer zu den Oberflächen vorhanden ist und ein Ausknicken oder Verbiegen orthogonal zu den Oberflächen vermieden wird. Sofern ein vergleichsweise großer Spalt vorhanden ist, gelangt der Stopper bei vertikaler Ausrichtung vorteilhaft derart zum Einsatz, dass die Äste und / oder Spitzen auf den Boden aufgesetzt werden und der Kopplungskörper an der Unterkante der Tür angreift. Hierzu kann der zunächst flach auf dem Boden aufliegende Stopper, insbesondere durch Auftreten mit dem Fuß auf eine der Spitzen, um 90° aufgerichtet werden und in den Spalt eingesetzt oder eingedrückt werden. Des weiteren ist es besonders vorteilhaft, dass durch Eingreifen in den genannten Freiraum, beispielsweise mit der Fußspitze, und Anheben oder Bewegen des Verbindungsbereichs in Richtung zum Kopplungskörper die Vorspannung und / oder Haltekraft in einfacher Weise erhöht werden können. Ferner kann erfindungsgemäß durch Zusammenschieben oder Zusammendrücken der Äste, beispielsweise durch Auftreten auf einen Ast und / oder Drücken des Astes in Richtung zum anderen Ast die Vorspannung erzeugt und / oder erhöht werden, wobei die Haltekraft in der erforderlichen Weise vorgegeben und / oder erhöht wird.The stopper contains two substantially planar surfaces which have a predetermined and / or fairly small distance from one another in the region of the end of the base body. At the branches and / or the tips mentioned above, the distance between the opposing surfaces increases. The stopper is thus wedge-shaped and, if it rests flat with one of the surfaces on the floor, for example, be pushed or kicked under a door with the foot to lock a door at a relatively narrow gap. The stopper advantageously has a smaller depth or thickness in the region of the coupling body than at the tips. This is a significant material savings achieved, wherein However, a high rigidity is present across the surfaces and buckling or bending orthogonal to the surfaces is avoided. If a comparatively large gap is present, the stopper is advantageously used in vertical alignment in such a way that the branches and / or tips are placed on the ground and the coupling body engages the lower edge of the door. For this purpose, the initially resting flat on the ground stopper, in particular by appearance with the foot on one of the tips, are erected by 90 ° and inserted or pressed into the gap. Furthermore, it is particularly advantageous that the bias and / or holding force can be increased in a simple manner by engaging in said clearance, for example, with the toe, and lifting or moving the connecting portion in the direction of the coupling body. Furthermore, according to the invention, by pushing together or compressing the branches, for example by acting on a branch and / or pressing the branch in the direction of the other branch, the bias voltage can be generated and / or increased, wherein the holding force is predetermined and / or increased in the required manner.

In einer besonderen Ausgestaltung der Erfindung enthält einer der Äste des Stoppers und / oder der Stopper insgesamt ein Innenteil, welches vom weichen Material und / oder Gummi oder einem biegeelastischen, gummiartigen thermoplastischen Kunststoff oder Elastomer umgeben ist und demgegenüber eine erhöhte Biegesteifigkeit aufweist. Bei einem derartigen Stopper umgibt das Innenteil einen Hohlraum. Ein derartiger Stopper ist insbesondere aus der eingangs genannten EP 2 069 598 B1 bzw. der internationalen PCT-Patentanmeldung WO 2008/040 518 bekannt. Das bevorzugt klammerartige Innenteil und / oder das wenigstens ein Innenteil enthaltende Bauteil insgesamt sind derart ausgebildet, dass die Kanten nicht über wenigstens eine Oberfläche des Stoppers vorstehen, sondern in besonders zweckmäßiger Weise bezüglich der Oberfläche oder Oberflächen in einem vorgegebenen Abstand nach innen und / oder rückversetzt sind. Die jeweilige Kante weist zur zugeordneten Oberfläche den vorgegebenen und / oder kleinen Abstand auf, welcher bevorzugt im Bereich von 0,5 bis 2 mm, insbesondere von 1 bis 1,5 mm vorgegeben ist. Aufgrund der vorgeschlagenen Ausbildung und / oder Verbindung des vergleichsweise harten Innenteils und / oder Bauteils mit dem umgebenden weichen Material und / oder Gummi und / oder biegeelastischen gummiartigen thermoplastischen Kunststoff oder Elastomer steht letzteres etwas über das vergleichsweise harte Material des Innenteils oder Bauteil über. Somit wird es möglich, das weiche und federnde Material besonders dünn auszubilden oder zu produzieren und / oder ein Ablösen und / oder Zusammenquetschen des vergleichsweise weichen und dünnen Materials zu verhindern. Das klammerartige Innenteil und / oder Bauteil, welches mit dem genannten weichen Material, wie Gummi oder Kunststoff oder dergleichen, umgeben ist und quasi einen harten inneren Kern des Stoppers bildet, besitzt erfindungsgemäß eine geringere Tiefe als das umgebende vergleichsweise weiche Material, wie Gummi bzw. Elastomer oder dergleichen.In a particular embodiment of the invention, one of the branches of the stopper and / or the stopper as a whole contains an inner part, which is surrounded by soft material and / or rubber or a flexurally elastic, rubber-like thermoplastic or elastomer and, in contrast, has an increased flexural rigidity. In such a stopper, the inner part surrounds a cavity. Such a stopper is in particular from the aforementioned EP 2 069 598 B1 or international PCT Patent Application WO 2008/040518 known. The preferred clip-like inner part and / or the at least one inner part-containing component as a whole are designed such that the edges do not project beyond at least one surface of the stopper, but in a particularly advantageous manner with respect to the surface or surfaces at a predetermined distance inwards and / or back are. The respective edge has the predetermined surface to the predetermined and / or small distance, which is preferably in the range of 0.5 to 2 mm, in particular from 1 to 1.5 mm predetermined. Due to the proposed training and / or compound of the relatively hard inner part and / or component with the surrounding soft material and / or rubber and / or flexible elastic rubbery thermoplastic or elastomer latter is something about the relatively hard material of the inner part or component over. Thus, it becomes possible to make the soft and resilient material particularly thin or to produce and / or to prevent peeling and / or squeezing of the comparatively soft and thin material. The clip-like inner part and / or component, which is surrounded by said soft material, such as rubber or plastic or the like and quasi forms a hard inner core of the stopper according to the invention has a smaller depth than the surrounding relatively soft material, such as rubber or Elastomer or the like.

Figuren 1 und 2 zeigen den Stopper mit zwei Ästen 1, 2, welche Spitzen 3, 4 aufweisen. Die Äste 1, 2 enthalten als Durchbrechungen ausgebildete innere Hohlräume 5, 6 und sind mittels des Kopplungskörpers 8 miteinander verbunden. Die Äste 2, 3 sind im Wesentlichen keilförmig ausgebildet, wobei die Hohlräume 5, 6 bevorzugt in einen gemeinsamen und / oder einheitlichen Hohlraum 7 münden, welcher vom Kopplungskörper 8 begrenzt wird. Der Kopplungskörper 8 ist im Wesentlichen rechteckförmig ausgebildet und besitzt eine vorgegebene Länge 9 und / oder enthält am freien Ende 10 vorteilhaft eine konvex gebogene Endfläche 12. Die Länge 9 ist um einen vorgegebenen Faktor größer als die Breite 11 des Astes 1 oder 2 im Übergangsbereich zum Kopplungskörper 8. Der genannte Faktor liegt vorteilhaft im Bereich zwischen 1,5 bis 3,5, bevorzugt zwischen 2 und 2,5. Die Äste 1, 2 sind V-förmig angeordnet, wobei die Spitzen 3,4 einen Abstand 14 aufweisen. Figures 1 and 2 show the stopper with two branches 1, 2, which have tips 3, 4. The branches 1, 2 contain as openings formed inner cavities 5, 6 and are interconnected by means of the coupling body 8. The branches 2, 3 are substantially wedge-shaped, with the cavities 5, 6 preferably opening into a common and / or uniform cavity 7, which is delimited by the coupling body 8. The coupling body 8 is substantially rectangular in shape and has a predetermined length 9 and / or advantageously includes a convexly curved end surface 12 at the free end 10. The length 9 is larger by a predetermined factor than the width 11 of the branch 1 or 2 in the transition region to Coupling body 8. The said factor is advantageously in the range between 1.5 to 3.5, preferably between 2 and 2.5. The branches 1, 2 are arranged in a V-shape, wherein the tips 3.4 have a distance 14.

Bevorzugt besitzen die Äste 1, 2 unterschiedliche Längen, so dass der Stopper im Hinblick auf unterschiedliche Einsatzbedingungen und/ oder Spalten zwischen Türen bzw. Fenstern zu einem Boden oder Rahmen in optimaler Weise zum Einsatz gelangen kann. Wie ersichtlich, weist die Spitze 3 des längeren Astes 1 zum Ende 10 einen Abstand 16 auf, während die Spitze 4 des dem gegenüber kurzen Astes 2 zum Ende 10 den Abstand 18 aufweist. Vorteilhaft ist der Abstand 14 zumindest näherungsweise gleich groß wie der Abstand 16, während der Abstand 18 um einen vorgegebenen Betrag kleiner als der Abstand 14 ist. Im Rahmen der Erfindung bilden die Spitzen 3, 4 der Äste 1, 2 mit dem abgewandten Ende 10 des Verbindungskörpers 8 und/ oder des Stoppers zumindest näherungsweise ein gleichseitiges Dreieck, wodurch vor allem mit geringem Aufwand ah Material und/ oder Gewicht die Verwendung des Stoppers zur Überbrückung von recht großen Spalten zwischen Türen bzw. Fenstern ermöglicht wird.Preferably, the branches 1, 2 have different lengths, so that the stopper can be used in an optimum manner with regard to different operating conditions and / or gaps between doors or windows to a floor or frame. As can be seen, the tip 3 of the longer branch 1 has a distance 16 to the end 10, while the tip 4 of the opposite short branch 2 to the end 10 has the distance 18. Advantageously, the distance 14 is at least approximately the same size as the distance 16, while the distance 18 is smaller than the distance 14 by a predetermined amount. In the context of the invention, the tips 3, 4 of the branches 1, 2 with the opposite end 10 of the connecting body 8 and / or the stopper at least approximately an equilateral triangle, which especially with little effort ah material and / or weight the use of the stopper to bridge quite large gaps between doors or windows is made possible.

Der Ast 1 besitzt eine konvexe Innenfläche 20 und der Ast 2 besitzt eine ebenfalls konvexe Innenfläche 22, wobei die beiden Innenflächen 20, 22 in einem bevorzugt konkav ausgebildeten Verbindungsbereich 24 aneinander anschließen. Der Verbindungsbereich 24 weist zum Ende 10 einen Abstand 26 auf, welcher zumindest näherungsweise gleich groß ist wie der Abstand 28 zur Spitze 3 des Astes 1. Zwischen den Ästen 1, 2 und / oder deren Innenflächen 20, 22 ist ein Freiraum und / oder eine Kerbe bzw. die Kerbe 25 vorhanden. Der Freiraum 25 ist derart ausgebildet, dass die Äste 1, 2 beim Einsetzen des Stoppers in einen Spalt zur Vorgabe der Vorspannung und / oder Haltekraft, insbesondere unter Berücksichtigung der Flexibilität der Äste bewegbar sind und das Einsetzen des Stoppers in den Spalt in einfacher Weise durchführbar ist. Weiterhin ist der Freiraum 25 derart ausgebildet, dass die Äste 1, 2 gegeneinander gedrückt werden können, um vor allem die Vorspannung und / oder Haltekraft vorzugeben und / oder zu erhöhen.The branch 1 has a convex inner surface 20 and the branch 2 has a likewise convex inner surface 22, wherein the two inner surfaces 20, 22 in a preferably concave connecting region 24 adjoin one another. The connection region 24 has at the end 10 a distance 26 which is at least approximately the same size as the distance 28 to the tip 3 of the branch 1. Between the branches 1, 2 and / or their inner surfaces 20, 22 is a free space and / or a Notch or notch 25 present. The free space 25 is formed such that the branches 1, 2 are movable when inserting the stopper in a gap for specifying the bias and / or holding force, in particular taking into account the flexibility of the branches and the insertion of the stopper in the gap in a simple manner feasible is. Furthermore, the free space 25 is formed such that the branches 1, 2 can be pressed against each other, in order to predetermine and / or increase especially the bias and / or holding force.

Der Ast 1 besitzt eine konkave Außenfläche 30 und der Ast 2 besitzt eine ebenfalls konkave Außenfläche 32. Die Außenflächen 30, 32 schließen in vorteilhafter Weise an ebenfalls konkave Außenflächen 34, 36 des Kopplungskörpers 8 an. Die vordere Oberfläche 38 des Stoppers bzw. dessen Äste 1, 2 und des Kopplungskörpers 8 ist bevorzugt im Wesentlichen eben ausgebildet und/ oder zumindest näherungsweise orthogonal zu den genannten-Außenflächen.The branch 1 has a concave outer surface 30 and the branch 2 has a likewise concave outer surface 32. The outer surfaces 30, 32 connect in an advantageous manner to also concave outer surfaces 34, 36 of the coupling body 8 at. The front surface 38 of the stopper or its branches 1, 2 and the coupling body 8 is preferably substantially planar and / or at least approximately orthogonal to the said outer surfaces.

In einer alternativen Ausgestaltung des erfindungsgemäßen Stoppers können die Innenflächen und/ oder Außenflächen im Wesentlichen als plane Flächen ausgebildet sein, wie mittels der gestrichelten Linien 40 oder 44, 46 angedeutet. Ferner können im Rahmen der Erfindung die Außenflächen des Kopplungskörpers 8 als plane Flächen ausgebildet sein und/oder im Bereich des Endes 10 aufeinander zulaufen und/ oder anschließen, wie mit gestrichelten Linien 48, 50 angedeutet. Ferner können im Rahmen der Erfindung die vorgenannten Außenflächen insgesamt und/ oder teilweise poligonal ausgebildet sein ebenso wie die vorgenannten Innenfläche der Äste 1, 2.In an alternative embodiment of the stopper according to the invention, the inner surfaces and / or outer surfaces may be formed substantially as flat surfaces, as indicated by the dashed lines 40 or 44, 46. Furthermore, in the context of the invention, the outer surfaces of the coupling body 8 may be formed as planar surfaces and / or run towards each other in the region of the end 10 and / or connect, as indicated by dashed lines 48, 50. Furthermore, in the context of the invention, the aforementioned outer surfaces can be formed overall and / or partially poligonal, as can the aforementioned inner surface of the branches 1, 2.

Die Äste 1, 2 enthalten klammerartige Innenteile 52, 54, welche die Hohlräume 5, 6 und 7 umschließen und Arme aufweisen, welche beabstandet zu den Spitzen 3, 4 miteinander verbunden sind. Es ist von besonderer Bedeutung, dass die Wanddicken wenigstens eines Armes des jeweiligen Astes 1, 2 zur jeweiligen Spitze 3, 4 hin abnehmen. Hierdurch wird eine verbesserte Flexibilität und/ oder ein vergrößerter Federweg erreicht, wobei ein Ausknicken der Äste sowie des Stoppers insgesamt quer zur Oberfläche 38 vermieden wird. Wie ersichtlich, erstrecken sich die den Außenflächen 30, 32 nächstliegenden Arme der Innenteile 52, 54 bis zum Kopplungskörper 8 und sind dort mit einem Verbindungsarm 56 miteinander verbunden. Im Bereich zwischen dem Verbindungsbereich 24 und dem Kopplungskörper 8 wird der innere Hohlraum 7 von gegenüberleigenden Teilen der Äste 1, 2 und dem Kopplungskörper 8 umgeben, insbesondere der dort vorhandenen Innenteile 52, 54 und dem Verbindungsarm 56. In vorteilhafter Weise sind die Innenteile samt dem Verbindungsarm 56 einstückig bzw. als ein einziges Bauteil ausgebildet. Die Innenteile 52, 54 und der Verbindungsarm 56 sind von einem Außenteil 58 in bevorzugter Weise vollständig umgeben sowie fest und integral mit diesem verbunden. Das Außenteil 58 bildet den äußeren Rand des Stoppers und besteht in zweckmäßiger Weise aus Gummi oder einem biegeelastischen, gummiartigen thermoplastischen Kunststoff und/ oder Elastomer. Das Außenteil weist die oben erläuterten Innenflächen 20, 22 die Außenflächen 30, 32, 34, 36 sowie die Endfläche 12 auf. Zumindest die vorgenannten Flächen weisen einen relativ hohen Reibungskoeffizienten auf, so dass eine sichere Festlegung des Stoppers an Türen bzw. Fenstern sowie deren Rahmen oder einem Boden ermöglicht wird. Der Kopplungskörper 8 ist Bestandteil des Außenteils 58 und mit diesem einstückig ausgebildet.The branches 1, 2 contain clamp-like internal parts 52, 54 which surround the cavities 5, 6 and 7 and have arms which are connected to each other at a distance from the tips 3, 4. It is of particular importance that the wall thicknesses of at least one arm of the respective branch 1, 2 decrease towards the respective tip 3, 4. As a result, an improved flexibility and / or an increased spring travel is achieved, wherein a buckling of the branches and the stopper is avoided across the surface 38 as a whole. As can be seen, the outer surfaces 30, 32 nearest arms of the inner parts 52, 54 extend to the coupling body 8 and are connected to each other with a connecting arm 56. In the area between the Connecting portion 24 and the coupling body 8, the inner cavity 7 is surrounded by opposing parts of the branches 1, 2 and the coupling body 8, in particular the existing therein internal parts 52, 54 and the connecting arm 56. Advantageously, the internal parts together with the connecting arm 56 in one piece or formed as a single component. The inner parts 52, 54 and the connecting arm 56 are preferably completely surrounded by a outer part 58 and fixedly and integrally connected thereto. The outer part 58 forms the outer edge of the stopper and is expediently made of rubber or a flexurally elastic, rubbery thermoplastic material and / or elastomer. The outer part has the above-explained inner surfaces 20, 22, the outer surfaces 30, 32, 34, 36 and the end surface 12. At least the aforementioned surfaces have a relatively high coefficient of friction, so that a secure fixing of the stopper to doors or windows and their frame or a floor is made possible. The coupling body 8 is part of the outer part 58 and formed integrally therewith.

Die der vorderen Oberfläche 38 zugewandte und/ oder unter dieser liegende und /oderzugeordnete Kante 60 des jeweiligen Innenteils 52, 54 und entsprechend die Kante des Verbindungsarms 56 und / oder des vorgenannten Bauteils insgesamt weisen zur vorderen Oberfläche 38 einen vorgegebenen und / oder kleinen Abstand 62 auf. Analog können die Kante und/ oder Kanten, welche der hinter der Zeichenebene befindlichen Oberfläche des Stoppers zugeordnet sind zu dieser einen vorgegebenen und/ oder kleinen Abstand aufweisen. Erfindungsgemäß überragen die genannten Kanten nicht die vordere Oberfläche 38 und / oder die rückseitige Oberfläche des Stoppers, sondern liegen tiefer und / oder unterhalb wenigstens einer der Oberflächen. Mit anderen Worten, die Tiefe des oder der Innenteile 52, 54 und / oder des Verbindungsarmes 56 ist zumindest gleichgroß, bevorzugt um den vorgegebenen Abstand kleiner als die Dicke 64 des Stoppers in der jeweiligen gemeinsamen Schnittebene. Wie nachfolgend noch erläutert wird, sei hier schon angemerkt, dass die vordere Oberfläche und die hintere Oberfläche des Stoppers in einem vorgegebenen Winkel zueinander angeordnet sind.The edge 60 of the respective inner part 52 facing the front surface 38 and / or below it and / or the edge of the connecting arm 56 and / or the aforementioned component as a whole have a predetermined and / or small spacing 62 from the front surface 38 on. Analogously, the edge and / or edges, which are assigned to the surface of the stopper located behind the plane of the drawing, can have a predetermined and / or small spacing therefrom. According to the invention, said edges do not project beyond the front surface 38 and / or the back surface of the stopper but lie deeper and / or below at least one of the surfaces. In other words, the depth of the inner part or parts 52, 54 and / or of the connecting arm 56 is at least the same size, preferably smaller by a predetermined distance than the thickness 64 of the stopper in the respective common sectional plane. As will be explained below, it should be noted here that the front surface and the rear surface of the stopper are arranged at a predetermined angle to each other.

In den Figuren 3, 4, 5 und 6 sind Ansichten des Stoppers in den Blickrichtungen A, B, C und D dargestellt. Wie aus Figur 5 und 6 gut ersichtlich, ist zwischen der vorderen Oberfläche 38 und der bereits erwähnten hinteren Oberfläche 66 ein Winkel 68 vorgegeben. Der Stopper ist somit keilförmig ausgebildet und kann, sofern er mit einer Oberfläche flach auf einem Boden aufliegt, beispielsweise mit dem Fuß unter eine Tür geschoben werden, um bei einem relativ engen Spalt die Tür zu arretieren. Somit weist der Stopper an den Spitzen 3 bzw. 4 eine erheblich größere Breite auf als im Bereich des Endes 10, wodurch bevorzugt auch eine erhebliche Einsparung an Material und/ oder Gewicht erreicht ist. Alternativ zu der dargestellten ebenen Ausbildung der Oberflächen 38, 66 können diese im Rahmen der Erfindung ferner gebogen und/ oder gewölbt und/ oder gewellt ausgebildet sein.In the FIGS. 3, 4, 5 and 6 views of the stopper in the directions A, B, C and D are shown. How out FIGS. 5 and 6 As can be seen, an angle 68 is defined between the front surface 38 and the aforementioned rear surface 66. The stopper is thus wedge-shaped and, if it rests flat on a floor with a surface, for example, be pushed under a door with the foot to lock the door at a relatively narrow gap. Thus, the stopper at the tips 3 and 4, a significantly greater width than in the region of the end 10, which preferably also a considerable saving in material and / or weight is achieved. Alternatively to the illustrated planar training of Surfaces 38, 66 may be further bent and / or curved and / or corrugated in the context of the invention.

In Fig. 7 ist der Einsatz bzw. die Verwendung des erfindungsgemäßen Stoppers zur Arretierung eines teilweise gezeigten Türflügels 70 bezüglich des Bodens 72 bzw. dem Türrahmen 74 dargestellt. Der Stopper ist mit dem Ast 1 bzw. dessen Spitze 3 sowie mit dem Ast 2 bzw. dessen Spitze 4 auf dem Boden 72 aufgestellt, wobei das Ende 10 und/ oder der Kopplungskörper8 an einem unteren Profilteil des Türflügels 70 anliegt. Der Stopper ist unter Vorspannung im Spalt zwischen dem Boden und dem unteren Profil des Türflügels 70 eingeklemmt, wobei auf Grund der Flexibilität der Äste 1 und 2 der im zuvor im nicht eingeklemmten Zustand des Stoppers vorhandenen Abstand zwischen den Spitzen 3 und 4 vergrößert ist. Wird nun beispielsweise auf Grund eine Windzuges der Türflügel 70 in der einen oder anderen Richtung bewegt, so wird einer der Äste 1, 2 entlastet, so dass die Vorspannung dieses Astes reduziert wird und zum anderen Ast hin sich bewegen kann, wodurch in bevorzugter Weise die Einklemmung verbessert wird. Darüber hinaus ist es in der dargestellten aufgerichteten Position des Stoppers in einfacher Weise möglich, die Vorspannung und somit die Haltekraft des Stoppers dadurch zu erhöhen, dass man beispielsweise mit der Fußspitze in den Freiraum 25 zwischen den Beiden Ästen 1, 2 mit der Fußspitze hinein tritt und dabei den Verbindungsbereich 24 nach oben anhebt. Hierbei wird der Abstand zwischen den Spitzen 3, 4 reduziert und die Haltekraft und/ oder die Vorspannung in einfacher Weise erhöht.In Fig. 7 the use or the use of the stopper according to the invention for locking a partially shown door leaf 70 with respect to the bottom 72 and the door frame 74 is shown. The stopper is placed on the floor 72 with the branch 1 or its tip 3 and with the branch 2 or its tip 4, wherein the end 10 and / or the coupling body 8 rests against a lower profile part of the door leaf 70. The stopper is clamped under bias in the gap between the bottom and the lower profile of the door leaf 70, wherein due to the flexibility of the branches 1 and 2 of the present in the unclamped state of the stopper existing distance between the tips 3 and 4 is increased. If, for example, due to a wind pull, the door leaf 70 is moved in one or the other direction, one of the branches 1, 2 is relieved, so that the prestressing of this branch is reduced and can move towards the other branch, as a result of which Pinching is improved. In addition, in the illustrated erected position of the stopper in a simple manner, it is possible to increase the bias and thus the holding force of the stopper by, for example, enters the free space 25 between the two branches 1, 2 with the toe with the toe while raising the connection area 24 upwards. Here, the distance between the tips 3, 4 is reduced and increases the holding force and / or the bias in a simple manner.

Die Fig. 8 zeigt die Verwendung des Stoppers, welcher bei geöffnetem Fensterflügel 78 zwischen einem vertikalen Profil desselben und einem Fensterrahmen eingesetzt, bevorzugt unter Vorspannung eingeklemmt ist. Durch Zusammendrücken der Spitzen 3, 4 mit der Hand oder durch Eingreifen in den Freiraum und Eindrücken des Verbindungsbereiches 24 in Richtung des Pfeiles 82 kann in einfacher Weise die Vorspannung und somit die Haltekraft erhöht werden.The Fig. 8 shows the use of the stopper, which is inserted with the window sash open 78 between a vertical profile thereof and a window frame, preferably clamped under bias. By compressing the tips 3, 4 by hand or by engaging in the free space and impressions of the connecting portion 24 in the direction of arrow 82, the bias voltage and thus the holding force can be increased in a simple manner.

Alternativ zur Verwendung gemäß Fig. 7, wobei der Stopper mit beiden Ästen 1, 2 auf dem Boden aufliegt, kann der Stopper ferner in einer um 90° im Uhrzeigersinn gedrehten Stellung in den Freiraum oder Spalt zwischen dem Türflügel 70 und dem Boden 72 derart eingesetzt werden, dass zum einen der Ast 1 und zum anderen der Kopplungskörper 8 auf dem Boden aufliegen, wobei der Ast 2 und / oder dessen Spitze, insbesondere an einer vertikalen Fläche 73 des Türflügels 70 anliegt. Des Weiteren kann der Stopper erfindungsgemäß derart verwendet werden, dass der kurze Ast 2 und der Kopplungskörper 8 auf dem Boden 72 aufliegen, wobei der lange Ast 1 am Türflügel 70, insbesondere an dessen vertikaler Fläche 73 anliegt. Eine weitere Einsatzmöglichkeit oder Verwendung des Stoppers ist dahingehend gegeben, dass der Kopplungskörper 8 im Freiraum oder Spalt zwischen dem Türflügel 70 und dem Boden 72 angeordnet wird, wobei entweder der lange Ast 1 oder der kurze Ast 2 mit dem Türflügel 70 zum Eingriff und / oder zur Anlage gebracht werden. Diese erfindungsgemäß verschiedenen Verwendungen des Stoppers können alternativ im Rahmen der Erfindung auch bei Fenstern vorgesehen werden, wobei anstelle des Bodens beispielsweise eine Fensterbank zur Auflage und / oder zum Aufsetzen des Stoppers vorgesehen wird, bzw. der Freiraum zwischen dem Fensterflügel und der Fensterbank. Die jeweilige Verwendung des Stoppers kann erfindungsgemäß insbesondere in Abhängigkeit von der Größe des Spaltes oder des Abstandes zwischen der Tür bzw. deren Unterkante oder zwischen dem Fenster bzw. dessen Rahmen und insbesondere einer Fensterbank vorgegeben werden.Alternatively to use according to Fig. 7 , wherein the stopper rests with both branches 1, 2 on the ground, the stopper can also be used in a rotated by 90 ° clockwise position in the space or gap between the door leaf 70 and the bottom 72 such that on the one hand the branch 1 and on the other hand, the coupling body 8 rest on the ground, the branch 2 and / or its tip, in particular rests on a vertical surface 73 of the door leaf 70. Furthermore, the stopper according to the invention can be used such that the short branch 2 and the coupling body 8 rest on the floor 72, wherein the long branch 1 rests on the door leaf 70, in particular on its vertical surface 73. Another Possibility or use of the stopper is given to the effect that the coupling body 8 is arranged in the free space or gap between the door leaf 70 and the bottom 72, wherein either the long branch 1 or the short branch 2 with the door 70 for engagement and / or investment to be brought. These inventively different uses of the stopper can alternatively be provided in the context of the invention in windows, wherein instead of the floor, for example, a sill to support and / or for placing the stopper is provided, or the space between the sash and the sill. The particular use of the stopper according to the invention can be specified in particular depending on the size of the gap or the distance between the door or its lower edge or between the window or its frame and in particular a sill.

Anhand der Figuren 9 und 10 wird eine weitere Verwendung des Stoppers erläutert, wobei gemäß Fig. 9 der Stopper zunächst flach auf dem Boden 72 liegend, und zwar beispielsweise mit der vorderen Oberfläche 38, bevorzugt mittels eines gestrichelt angedeuteten Fußes 84, teilweise unter dem Türflügel 70 geschoben wird. Dies erfolgt derart, dass sich zumindest der Kopplungskörper 8 unter dem geöffneten Türflügel 70 befindet, während der lange Ast 1 sich vor dem Türflügel 70 derart befindet, dass eine Person, wie dargestellt, mit dem Fuß 84 auf den Ast 1 treten kann. Alternativ kann der Stopper ferner derart unter den Türflügel 70 geschoben sein, dass mit dem Fuß 4 auf den kurzen Ast 2 getreten werden kann. Tritt nun der Benutzer mit seinem Fuß bzw. Schuh 84 verstärkt bzw. mit erhöhter Kraft in Richtung des Pfeiles 86 gemäß Fig. 10 auf den Ast 1, so wird der Stopper derart deformiert, dass der andere Ast 2 vom Boden 72 absteht und insgesamt um 90° derart gedreht wird, dass der Ast 2 bzw. dessen Spitze 4 sich im Wesentlichen vertikal über dem Boden 72 befindet. Durch Bewegen des Fußes 84 in Richtung des Pfeils 87 gelangt dieser in den Freiraum bzw. die Kerbe 25 zwischen den Ästen 1 und 2, so dass bei einer weiteren Bewegung der Stopper in Richtung des Pfeils 88 nun etwas weiter unter den Türflügel 70 geschoben wird, welcher somit in der erforderlichen Weise arretiert wird und / oder wobei die erforderliche Vorspannung des Stoppers zwecks Arretierung des Türflügels vorgegeben wird. Die Vorspannung und mithin die Klemmkraft wird hierdurch in zweckmäßiger Weise erhöht. Es ist von besonderer Bedeutung, dass die Vorspannung oder Klemmkraft durch Zug bzw. als Zugspannung vorgegeben wird und nicht durch eine Druckkraft von oben. Hierdurch wird in vorteilhafter Weise erreicht, dass der Fuß nicht an der Oberkante des Stoppers störend im Weg ist und / oder somit der höchste Punkt oder Bereich des Stoppers ausgenutzt werden kann. Somit wird eine optimale Ausnutzung der Baugröße und / oder des Materialeinsatzes des Stoppers erreicht. Der Stopper kann somit selbst für große Abstände zwischen Türflügel 70 und dem Boden 72 verwendet werden, und zwar mit geringem Materialeinsatz und / oder bei geringer Baugröße.Based on FIGS. 9 and 10 another use of the stopper is explained, according to Fig. 9 the stopper initially lying flat on the floor 72, for example, with the front surface 38, preferably by means of a dashed line indicated foot 84, is partially pushed under the door leaf 70. This is done such that at least the coupling body 8 is located under the opened door leaf 70, while the long branch 1 is located in front of the door leaf 70 such that a person, as shown, with the foot 84 can step on the branch 1. Alternatively, the stopper can also be pushed under the door leaf 70 so that can be entered with the foot 4 on the short branch 2. Now the user steps with his foot or shoe 84 reinforced or with increased force in the direction of arrow 86 according to Fig. 10 on the branch 1, the stopper is deformed so that the other branch 2 protrudes from the bottom 72 and is rotated in total by 90 ° such that the branch 2 and its tip 4 is substantially vertically above the bottom 72. By moving the foot 84 in the direction of the arrow 87, this passes into the free space or the notch 25 between the branches 1 and 2, so that in a further movement of the stopper in the direction of arrow 88 is now pushed a little further under the door leaf 70, which is thus locked in the required manner and / or wherein the required bias of the stopper is set for the purpose of locking the door leaf. The bias and thus the clamping force is thereby increased in an appropriate manner. It is of particular importance that the bias or clamping force is given by train or as tension and not by a compressive force from above. In this way it is advantageously achieved that the foot is not disturbing the upper edge of the stopper in the way and / or thus the highest point or area of the stopper can be exploited. Thus, an optimal utilization of the size and / or the material use of the stopper is achieved. The stopper can thus even for large distances between the door 70 and the Floor 72 are used, with a low material input and / or small size.
