Definitions

  • the invention relates to a closing sequence control according to the features of the preamble of claim 1.
  • Closing sequence controls are used in practice for double-leaf doors that close automatically by means of a door closer to ensure that both door leaves are in the correct closed position. For the correct closed position, it is necessary that the so-called passive leaf always comes into the closed position first before the so-called active leaf closes. To ensure this, a closing sequence control is used which blocks a closing movement of the active leaf until the inactive leaf has reached the closed position.

  • the device described has a release roller and a release pin.
  • a slide tongue is arranged on the sliding block of the inactive leaf sliding arm, which actuates the release pin when the inactive leaf is moved into the closed position in order to unblock the active leaf.
  • the invention is based on the object of creating a closing sequence control which is suitable for installation on the opposite hinge side.
  • the closing sequence control should be compact and easy to assemble.
  • the closing sequence control should preferably have a high level of operational reliability, that is to say ensure the correct closing sequence of the doors in every case. According to the invention, this object is achieved by a closing sequence control having the features of claim 1.

  • control device has a rotatably mounted release lever which extends out of the slide rail into the plane of rotation of the inactive leaf sliding arm in order to interact with the actuating element for releasing the blocking of the closing movement of the active leaf. It is thus possible for the control device to be arranged within the slide rail.

Description

Die Erfindung betrifft eine Schließfolgeregelung nach den Merkmalen des Oberbegriffs des Anspruchs 1.The invention relates to a closing sequence control according to the features of the preamble of claim 1.

Schließfolgeregelungen werden in der Praxis bei zweiflügeligen, mittels Türschließer selbsttätig schließenden Türen verwendet, um die korrekte Schließlage beider Türflügel sicherzustellen. Es ist für die korrekte Schließlage erforderlich, dass der sogenannte Standflügel immer zuerst in Schließlage kommt, bevor der sogenannte Gangflügel schließt. Um dies sicherzustellen wird eine Schließfolgeregelung verwendet, welche eine Schließbewegung des Gangflügels so lange blockiert, bis der Standflügel in Schließlage gelangt ist.Closing sequence controls are used in practice for double-leaf doors that close automatically by means of a door closer to ensure that both door leaves are in the correct closed position. For the correct closed position, it is necessary that the so-called passive leaf always comes into the closed position first before the so-called active leaf closes. To ensure this, a closing sequence control is used which blocks a closing movement of the active leaf until the inactive leaf has reached the closed position.

Der Fachmann kennt aus der Praxis mehrere Lösungen solcher Schließfolgeregelungen. Im Allgemeinen werden die Schließfolgesteuerungen abhängig der Bewegung der in einer Gleitschiene geführten Gleitelemente der Türschließer gesteuert.The person skilled in the art knows several solutions for such closing sequence controls from practice. In general, the closing sequence controls controlled depending on the movement of the sliding elements guided in a slide rail of the door closer.

Wenn die Montage der Türschließer auf der Bandgegenseite erfolgt, ist jedoch zu beachten, dass sich die Bewegungsrichtung der Gleitelemente der Türschließer kurz vor Erreichen der Schließlage umkehrt. Beim Schließvorgang erfolgt diese Bewegung zuerst in Richtung der Schließkante der Türflügel. Jedoch kurz vor Erreichen der Schließlage kehrt sich diese Bewegung aufgrund der geometrischen Verhältnisse um, so dass sich die Gleitelemente ein kurzes Stück in Richtung der Bandseite des Türflügels bewegen. Um diese Bewegungsumkehr zu berücksichtigen müssen entsprechende Vorkehrungen getroffen werden. Ein solches Funktionsprinzip ist beispielsweise aus der EP 1 544 398 A2 bekannt. Bei diesem Dokument wird zum Blockieren des Gangflügels ein vertikal verschiebbares Auslöseelement von dem Gleitstein betätigt. Nachteilig ist hier die notwendige Bauhöhe der Gleitschiene.If the door closers are installed on the opposite hinge side, however, it must be ensured that the direction of movement of the sliding elements of the door closers is reversed shortly before they reach the closed position. During the closing process, this movement first takes place in the direction of the closing edge of the door leaf. However, shortly before reaching the closed position, this movement is reversed due to the geometrical conditions, so that the sliding elements move a short distance in the direction of the hinge side of the door leaf. Appropriate precautions must be taken to take this movement reversal into account. Such a functional principle is, for example, from the EP 1 544 398 A2 known. In this document, a vertically displaceable release element is actuated by the sliding block to block the active leaf. The disadvantage here is the necessary overall height of the slide rail.

Aus der EP 1 333 142 A2 ist eine gattungsgemäße Schließfolgeregelung bekannt, die für eine Bandgegenseitenmontage geeignet ist. Dort ist eine zweiflügelige Tür mit Gleitarmtürschließern gezeigt. Beide Türflügel sind über Bänder drehbar an einem Türrahmen gelagert. Über die Gleitarmtürschließer werden die Türflügel jeweils in Schließrichtung beaufschlagt. Um die korrekte Schließfolge der beiden Türen sicherzustellen, ist der Gleitarm des Standflügeltürschließers an seinem Ende mit einem gekröpften Haken verbunden, der über ein Auslöseelement eine Blockierung des Gangflügels löst, sobald der Standflügel in Schließlage kommt. Dies erfolgt, indem der Haken im Bereich der Schließlage des Standflügels in Anlage mit einer Seite des Auslöseelements kommt und dieses dann durch die rückläufige Bewegung des Gleitarms betätigt. Bei dieser Lösung handelt es sich im Vergleich zu einer über einen Gleitstein gesteuerten Schließfolgeregelung um ein anderes Funktionsprinzip, welches eine niedrigere Gleitschiene ermöglicht. Nachteilig bei dieser Lösung ist, dass der gekröpfte Haken aufwändig zu justieren ist, und eine gewisse Mindestbauhöhe erfordert die in der Praxis nicht immer gewährleistet ist.From the EP 1 333 142 A2 a generic closing sequence control is known which is suitable for mounting on opposite hinge sides. A double-leaf door with sliding arm door closers is shown there. Both door leaves are rotatably mounted on a door frame via hinges. The door leaves are actuated in the closing direction via the sliding arm door closers. In order to ensure the correct closing sequence of the two doors, the sliding arm of the passive leaf door closer is connected at its end with a cranked hook which releases a blockage of the active leaf via a release element as soon as the passive leaf comes into the closed position. This is done by the hook coming into contact with one side of the release element in the area of the closed position of the inactive leaf and then actuating it by the backward movement of the sliding arm. This solution is different from a closing sequence control controlled by a sliding block Functional principle that enables a lower slide rail. The disadvantage of this solution is that the cranked hook is difficult to adjust, and requires a certain minimum height, which is not always guaranteed in practice.

Die EP 1 126 118 B1 zeigt ebenfalls eine Schließfolgeregelung, die für eine Bandgegenseitenmontage geeignet ist. Der Gleitarm weist einen integrierten, endseitig angeordneten Haken auf, der über ein Auslöseelement eine Blockierung des Gangflügels löst, sobald der Standflügel in Schließlage kommt. Nachteilig an dieser Lösung ist die fehlende Justierbarkeit der Schließfolgeregelung.The EP 1 126 118 B1 also shows a closing sequence control which is suitable for mounting opposite the hinge. The sliding arm has an integrated hook arranged at the end which releases a blockage of the active leaf via a release element as soon as the inactive leaf comes into the closed position. The disadvantage of this solution is the lack of adjustability of the closing sequence control.

Die EP 0 458 034 A1 zeigt ebenfalls eine Schließfolgeregelung für zweiflügelige Türen zur Montage auf der Bandgegenseite. Zum Lösen der Blockierung des Gangflügels weist die beschriebene Vorrichtung eine Auslöserolle und einen Auslösezapfen auf. An dem Gleitstein des Standflügelgleitarms ist eine Schubzunge angeordnet, die beim Verbringen des Standflügels in Schließlage den Auslösezapfen betätigt, um die Blockierung des Gangflügels aufzuheben.The EP 0 458 034 A1 also shows a closing sequence control for double-leaf doors for installation on the opposite hinge side. To release the blocking of the active leaf, the device described has a release roller and a release pin. A slide tongue is arranged on the sliding block of the inactive leaf sliding arm, which actuates the release pin when the inactive leaf is moved into the closed position in order to unblock the active leaf.

Der Erfindung liegt die Aufgabe zugrunde, eine Schließfolgeregelung zu schaffen, die für die Montage auf der Bandgegenseite geeignet ist. Die Schließfolgeregelung soll dabei kompakt aufgebaut und einfach zu montieren sein. Vorzugsweise soll die Schließfolgeregelung eine hohe Betriebssicherheit aufweisen, also die korrekte Schließfolge der Türen in jedem Fall sicherstellen. Diese Aufgabe wird erfindungsgemäß durch eine Schließfolgeregelung mit den Merkmalen des Anspruchs 1 gelöst.The invention is based on the object of creating a closing sequence control which is suitable for installation on the opposite hinge side. The closing sequence control should be compact and easy to assemble. The closing sequence control should preferably have a high level of operational reliability, that is to say ensure the correct closing sequence of the doors in every case. According to the invention, this object is achieved by a closing sequence control having the features of claim 1.

Erfindungsgemäß ist vorgesehen, dass der Gleitarm des Standflügeltürschließers im Bereich seines freien Endes ein Betätigungselement aufweist, welches zum Lösen der Blockierung der Schließbewegung des Gangflügels mit einem Auslösehebel der Steuereinrichtung über eine Rolle zusammenwirkt. Die Rolle rollt beim Lösen der Blockierung des Gangflügels auf einer Abrollfläche ab, welche an dem Betätigungselement angeordnet ist. Durch diese Lösung werden störende Reibungskräfte minimiert und bei kompaktem Aufbau ein besonders zuverlässiger Betrieb der Schließfolgeregelung erzielt. Störende Einflüsse durch Reibung oder Passungenauigkeiten werden über die auf der Abrollfläche ablaufende Rolle vermindert oder ausgeglichen.According to the invention it is provided that the sliding arm of the passive leaf door closer has an actuating element in the area of its free end, which interacts with a release lever of the control device via a roller to release the blocking of the closing movement of the active leaf. When the blocking of the active leaf is released, the roller rolls on a rolling surface which is arranged on the actuating element. This solution minimizes disruptive frictional forces and is particularly important with a compact design reliable operation of the closing sequence control achieved. Disturbing influences due to friction or inaccuracies of fit are reduced or compensated for by the roller running on the rolling surface.

Der Bereich des freien Endes des Gleitarms des Standflügeltürschließers, oder auch Standflügelgleitarms, ist an dem Ende des Gleitarms im Bereich der Befestigung des Gleitarms mit einem Gleitelement oder Gleitstein angeordnet. Er liegt dem Ende des Gleitarms, welches mit einer Welle des Türschließers drehfest verbunden ist, gegenüber. Eine Blockierung des Gangflügels erfolgt dabei nicht über den Gleitstein, sondern über ein im Bereich des freien Endes des Standflügelgleitarms angeordnetes Betätigungselement. Dies ermöglicht eine kompakte Bauweise bei gleichzeitig hoher Zuverlässigkeit. Erfindungsgemäß ist vorgesehen, dass das Betätigungselement mit dem freien Ende des Gleitarms verbunden, insbesondere lösbar verbunden ist. Insbesondere weist der Standflügelgleitarm im Bereich seines freien Endes das Betätigungselement auf, welches zusätzlich zu dem Gleitstein an dem Standflügelgleitarm angeordnet und/oder mit diesem verbunden ist.The area of the free end of the sliding arm of the passive leaf door closer, or also the passive leaf sliding arm, is arranged at the end of the sliding arm in the area of the attachment of the sliding arm with a sliding element or sliding block. It lies opposite the end of the sliding arm, which is connected to a shaft of the door closer so that it cannot rotate. The active leaf is not blocked by the sliding block, but by an actuating element arranged in the area of the free end of the fixed leaf sliding arm. This enables a compact design with high reliability at the same time. According to the invention it is provided that the actuating element is connected to the free end of the sliding arm, in particular is detachably connected. In particular, the inactive leaf sliding arm has the actuating element in the region of its free end, which is arranged in addition to the sliding block on the inactive leaf sliding arm and / or connected to it.

In einer Ausführung kann vorgesehen sein, dass der Auslösehebel die Rolle im Bereich seines freien Endes drehbar lagert. Das freie Ende des Auslösehebels wirkt zum Lösen der Blockierung mit dem Betätigungselement zusammen, so dass die Anordnung der Rolle in diesem Bereich eine besonders platzsparende und kompakte Lösung ist. Das freie Ende des Auslösehebels ist das Ende, welches außerhalb der Gleitschiene angeordnet ist. In einer alternativen Ausgestaltung kann vorgesehen sein, dass das Betätigungselement die Rolle aufnimmt bzw. lagert.In one embodiment it can be provided that the release lever rotatably supports the roller in the area of its free end. The free end of the release lever interacts with the actuating element to release the blocking, so that the arrangement of the roller in this area is a particularly space-saving and compact solution. The free end of the release lever is the end which is arranged outside the slide rail. In an alternative embodiment it can be provided that the actuating element receives or supports the roller.

Vorteilhafterweise kann die Rolle in einer Ausführung im Bereich der Drehebene des Standflügelgleitarms angeordnet werden, um die erforderliche Bauhöhe zu reduzieren. Es ist hierbei vorzugsweise vorgesehen dass die Rolle um eine Achse drehbar gelagert ist, welche im Bereich der Drehebene des Standflügelgleitarms angeordnet ist. Es ergibt sich so der Vorteil, dass kein zusätzlicher, über die Drehebene nach oben oder unten hinausreichender Bauraum benötigt wird.In one embodiment, the roller can advantageously be arranged in the area of the plane of rotation of the inactive leaf sliding arm in order to reduce the required overall height. It is preferably provided here that the roller is rotatably mounted about an axis which is arranged in the area of the plane of rotation of the inactive leaf sliding arm. This results in the advantage that no additional installation space extending above or below the plane of rotation is required.

Die Drehebene des Gleitarms des Standflügeltürschließers definiert sich als die Ebene, in der sich der Standflügelgleitarm bewegt bzw. dreht. Die Drehebene des Gleitarms des Standflügeltürschließers verläuft in der Regel mehr oder weniger rechtwinklig zu der durch die Schließlage der Türflügel definierten Türebene.The plane of rotation of the sliding arm of the passive leaf door closer is defined as the plane in which the passive leaf sliding arm moves or rotates. The plane of rotation of the sliding arm of the passive leaf door closer usually runs more or less at right angles to the plane of the door defined by the closed position of the door leaf.

In einer Ausführung kann vorgesehen sein, dass die Steuereinrichtung einen drehbar gelagerten Auslösehebel aufweist, welcher sich aus der Gleitschiene heraus bis in die Drehebene des Standflügelgleitarms hinein erstreckt, um mit dem Betätigungselement zum Lösen der Blockierung der Schließbewegung des Gangflügels zusammenzuwirken. So ist es möglich, dass die Steuereinrichtung innerhalb der Gleitschiene angeordnet ist. Die Gleitschiene umschließt die Steuereinrichtung und schützt diese gegen störende mechanische Einflüsse und Verschmutzung.In one embodiment it can be provided that the control device has a rotatably mounted release lever which extends out of the slide rail into the plane of rotation of the inactive leaf sliding arm in order to interact with the actuating element for releasing the blocking of the closing movement of the active leaf. It is thus possible for the control device to be arranged within the slide rail. The slide rail encloses the control device and protects it against disruptive mechanical influences and contamination.

In einer erfindungsgemäßen Ausführung ist vorgesehen, dass der Gleitarm des Standflügeltürschließers mit dem Betätigungselement über eine lösbare Steckverbindung verbunden ist. In einer Ausgestaltung weist der Gleitarm dazu eine Steckaufnahme auf, in die der Körper des Betätigungselements zumindest teilweise einsteckbar ist. Insbesondere kann zumindest ein Abschnitt des Körpers des Betätigungselements so ausgebildet sein, dass er zwischen zwei Begrenzungen des Gleitarms formschlüssig eingreift. In einer anderen, gleichwertigen Ausgestaltung weist das Betätigungselement eine Steckaufnahme auf, in die der Körper des Gleitarms zumindest teilweise einsteckbar ist. Insbesondere kann der Körper des Gleitarms im Bereich seines freien Endes so geformt sein, dass er zwischen zwei Begrenzungen des Betätigungselements formschlüssig eingreift. So lässt sich eine sichere Verbindung zwischen dem Betätigungselement und dem Gleitarm des Standflügeltürschließers auf begrenztem Raum realisieren. Diese Ausgestaltung hat daher den Vorteil, bei einem besonders kompakten Aufbau eine zuverlässige Funktion der Schließfolgeregelung sicherzustellen.In one embodiment according to the invention it is provided that the sliding arm of the fixed leaf door closer is connected to the actuating element via a detachable plug connection. In one embodiment, the sliding arm has a plug-in receptacle into which the body of the actuating element can at least partially be inserted. In particular, at least a portion of the body of the actuating element can be designed so that it is between two Limits of the sliding arm engages positively. In another, equivalent embodiment, the actuating element has a plug-in receptacle into which the body of the sliding arm can at least partially be inserted. In particular, the body of the sliding arm can be shaped in the region of its free end in such a way that it engages positively between two boundaries of the actuating element. In this way, a secure connection between the actuating element and the sliding arm of the passive leaf door closer can be implemented in a limited space. This refinement therefore has the advantage of ensuring a reliable function of the closing sequence control with a particularly compact structure.

Weiter ist in einer erfindungsgemäßen Ausführung vorgesehen, dass der Gleitarm des Standflügeltürschließers mit dem in der Gleitschiene geführten Gleitelement über einen Lagerbolzen verbunden ist, und dieser Lagerbolzen den Gleitarm fest mit dem Betätigungselement verbindet. Somit erfüllt der Lagerbolzen gleichzeitig zwei Aufgaben. Er verbindet zum einen den Gleitarm des Standflügeltürschließers mit dem Gleitelement und zum anderen verbindet er den Gleitarm des Standflügeltürschließers fest mit dem Betätigungselement. So wird eine Reduktion der notwendigen Bauteile der Schließfolgeregelung erzielt ohne dabei die Funktion negativ zu beeinflussen.Another embodiment of the invention provides that the sliding arm of the fixed leaf door closer is connected to the sliding element guided in the sliding rail via a bearing pin, and this bearing pin firmly connects the sliding arm to the actuating element. Thus the bearing pin fulfills two tasks at the same time. On the one hand, it connects the sliding arm of the passive leaf door closer to the sliding element and, on the other hand, it connects the sliding arm of the passive leaf door closer to the actuating element. In this way, the number of components required for closing sequence control is reduced without negatively affecting the function.

Es kann in einer Ausgestaltung vorzugsweise vorgesehen sein, dass die Verbindung zwischen Lagerbolzen und Gleitelement bzw. Gleitstein drehbar ausgeführt ist, um die beim Schließen oder Öffnen des Türflügels erforderliche Drehbewegung zwischen Gleitarm und Gleitelement sicherzustellen. Dazu kann entweder das Gleitelement oder der Lagerbolzen ein Drehlager aufweisen. Beispielsweise kann eine drehbare Hülse vorgesehen sein, die mit dem Gleitelement drehfest verbunden und an dem Lagerbolzen drehbar gelagert ist. Eine mechanisch feste Verbindung zwischen Gleitarm und Betätigungselement wird erzielt, indem in einer Ausführung vorgesehen ist, dass der Lagerbolzen den Gleitarm drehfest mit dem Betätigungselement verbindet. Dazu kann der Lagerbolzen eine Klemmvorrichtung, vorzugsweise eine Klemmschraube, aufweisen, die den Gleitarm mit dem Betätigungselement fest verbindet, indem sie den Gleitarm gegen das Betätigungselement klemmt.In one embodiment, it can preferably be provided that the connection between the bearing pin and the sliding element or sliding block is designed to be rotatable in order to ensure the rotational movement between the sliding arm and sliding element that is required when closing or opening the door leaf. For this purpose, either the sliding element or the bearing pin can have a pivot bearing. For example, a rotatable sleeve can be provided which is non-rotatably connected to the sliding element and rotatably mounted on the bearing pin. A mechanically firm connection between the sliding arm and the actuating element is achieved by providing in one embodiment that the bearing pin connects the sliding arm to the actuating element in a rotationally fixed manner. For this purpose, the bearing pin can have a clamping device, preferably a clamping screw, which firmly connects the sliding arm to the actuating element by clamping the sliding arm against the actuating element.

In einer vorteilhaften Ausgestaltung ist vorgesehen, dass der Lagerbolzen einen Auflagekragen aufweist, auf dem eine Fläche des Betätigungselements direkt aufliegt. Der Auflagekragen zieht über ein Klemmelement, vorzugsweise eine Klemmschraube den Gleitarm das auf dem Auflagekragen direkt aufliegende Betätigungselement um diese gegeneinander zu verklemmen.In an advantageous embodiment it is provided that the bearing pin has a support collar on which a surface of the actuating element rests directly. The support collar pulls the slide arm via a clamping element, preferably a clamping screw, the actuating element lying directly on the support collar in order to clamp them against one another.

In einer weiteren Ausführung kann vorgesehen sein, dass die Steuereinrichtung ein Lagerelement und ein Auslöseelement aufweist. Das Lösen der Blockiereinrichtung kann erfolgen, indem das Betätigungselement durch das Zusammenwirken mit der Steuereinrichtung das Lagerelement relativ zu dem Auslöseelement verschiebt. Das Lösen der Blockiereinrichtung kann auch erfolgen, indem das Betätigungselement durch das Zusammenwirken mit der Steuereinrichtung das Auslöseelement relativ zu dem Lagerelement verschiebt. Durch diese Relativbewegung der beiden Elemente der Steuereinrichtung zueinander ergibt sich ein Hub, der zum zuverlässigen Lösen der Blockiereinrichtung verwendbar ist.In a further embodiment it can be provided that the control device has a bearing element and a release element. The blocking device can be released by the actuating element moving the bearing element relative to the triggering element by interacting with the control device. The blocking device can also be released by the actuation element moving the release element relative to the bearing element through the interaction with the control device. This relative movement of the two elements of the control device to one another results in a stroke which can be used for reliably releasing the blocking device.

Vorzugsweise kann vorgesehen sein, dass zur Anpassung der Schließfolgeregelung an örtliche Gegebenheiten, oder um Toleranzen auszugleichen, ein Justierbereich vorgesehen ist, innerhalb dessen das Betätigungselement an dem Standflügelgleitarm frei verschiebbar und an einer beliebigen Stelle fest verbindbar ist. Ein Justierbereich ist dabei ein Bereich von 10mm bis 100mm innerhalb dessen das Betätigungselement an dem Ende des Standflügelgleitarms frei verschiebbar ist, ohne dass die Verbindung mechanisch geschwächt wird.Preferably, it can be provided that to adapt the closing sequence control to local conditions, or to compensate for tolerances, an adjustment area is provided within which the actuating element on the inactive leaf sliding arm can be freely displaced and firmly connected at any point. An adjustment range is a range from 10mm to 100mm within which the actuating element at the end of the inactive leaf sliding arm can be freely displaced without the connection being mechanically weakened.

Es kann in einer Ausführung auch vorgesehen sein, dass die Position der Steuereinrichtung innerhalb der Gleitschiene zum Justieren verstellbar ist.It can also be provided in one embodiment that the position of the control device within the slide rail can be adjusted for adjustment.

Durch das Justieren der Position von Betätigungselement oder Steuereinrichtung können Toleranzen oder Abweichungen in den Abmessungen ausgeglichen werden. Für eine Justierung der Steuereinrichtung kann beispielsweise vorgesehen sein, dass die Position des Lagerelements und/oder die Position des Auslöseelements innerhalb der Gleitschiene verstellbar ist. Die Position des Lagerelements und/oder die Position des Auslöseelements kann dabei längs der Gleitschiene verschoben und an entsprechend gewünschter Position fixiert werden.By adjusting the position of the actuating element or control device, tolerances or deviations in the dimensions can be compensated for. For an adjustment of the control device it can be provided, for example, that the position of the bearing element and / or the position of the release element within the slide rail can be adjusted. The position of the bearing element and / or the position of the release element can be shifted along the slide rail and fixed in the correspondingly desired position.

Um eine universelle Verwendung der Schließfolgeregelung zu erzielen kann in einer Ausgestaltung vorgesehen sein, dass das Betätigungselement mit dem Standflügelgleitarm so verbunden ist, dass es wahlweise in 0° oder in um 180° bezüglich seiner Längsachse gedrehter Position mit dem Standflügelgleitarm verbindbar ist. So wird eine Verwendbarkeit des Betätigungselements gewährleistet, unabhängig davon ob der Standflügel als rechter Flügel oder als linker Flügel ausgeführt ist.In order to achieve universal use of the closing sequence control, it can be provided in one embodiment that the actuating element is connected to the inactive leaf sliding arm in such a way that it can be connected to the inactive leaf sliding arm either in 0 ° or in a position rotated by 180 ° with respect to its longitudinal axis. This ensures that the actuating element can be used regardless of whether the passive leaf is designed as a right leaf or a left leaf.

In einer Ausführung der Schließfolgeregelung kann vorgesehen sein, dass das Betätigungselement eine C-förmige oder U-Förmige Nut aufweist welche eine Seite des Körpers des Standflügelgleitarms umgreift. Damit kann das Betätigungselement bei der Montage einfach auf das Ende des Standflügelgleitarms aufgeschoben werden.In one embodiment of the closing sequence control it can be provided that the actuating element has a C-shaped or U-shaped groove which engages around one side of the body of the inactive leaf sliding arm. In this way, the actuating element can simply be pushed onto the end of the fixed leaf sliding arm during assembly.

Für eine besonders gute Verbindung zwischen dem Standflügelgleitarm und dem Betätigungselement kann vorgesehen sein, dass das Betätigungselement zwei gegenüberliegende C-förmige oder U-Förmige Nutabschnitte aufweist, die jeweils eine Seite des Körpers des Standflügelgleitarms umgreifen, so dass der Körpers des Standflügelgleitarms zwischen den beiden Nutabschnitten gelagert ist. So wird der Körper des Standflügelgleitarms auf beiden Seiten in der Nut des Betätigungselements geführt bzw. gehaltert.For a particularly good connection between the inactive leaf sliding arm and the actuating element, it can be provided that the actuating element has two opposing C-shaped or U-shaped groove sections which each encompass one side of the body of the inactive leaf sliding arm so that the body of the inactive leaf sliding arm between the two groove sections is stored. The body of the inactive leaf sliding arm is guided or held in the groove of the actuating element on both sides.

In einer Ausführung kann vorgesehen sein, dass die Steuereinrichtung mit der Blockiereinrichtung zusammenwirkt, indem die Steuereinrichtung eine Bewegung über ein Übertragungselement, beispielsweise eine Druck- oder Schubstange oder einen Bowdenzug, auf die Blockiereinrichtung überträgt. Die Blockierung des Gangflügels erfolgt so lange, bis der Standflügel in Schließlage gelangt oder sich kurz vor Erreichen der Schließlage befindet. Die Blockiereinrichtung ist dazu beispielsweise durch einen Kraftspeicher in Blockierstellung vorbelastet, und stoppt den Gangflügel vor Erreichen seiner Schließlage. Über das Zusammenwirken von Betätigungselement und Steuereinrichtung wird die Blockiereinrichtung so von der Steuereinrichtung angesteuert, dass diese die Blockierstellung hervorrufende Vorbelastung aufhebt und die Schließbewegung des Gangflügels ermöglicht wird. Die Aufhebung der Blockierstellung ist reversibel, so dass nach dem Öffnen des Standflügels der Gangflügel erneut vor Erreichen seiner Schließlage blockiert wird.In one embodiment it can be provided that the control device interacts with the blocking device in that the control device transmits a movement to the blocking device via a transmission element, for example a push rod or push rod or a Bowden cable. The active leaf is blocked until the passive leaf reaches the closed position or is just before the closed position. For this purpose, the blocking device is preloaded in the blocking position, for example by an energy storage device, and stops the active leaf before it reaches its closed position. Via the interaction of the actuating element and the control device, the blocking device is activated by the control device in such a way that this pre-load causing the blocking position cancels and the closing movement of the active leaf is made possible. The cancellation of the blocking position is reversible, so that after the passive leaf is opened, the active leaf is blocked again before it reaches its closed position.

Für die Blockiereinrichtungen gibt es verschiedene mögliche konstruktive Ausführungen, die dem Fachmann aus der Praxis hinlänglich bekannt sind. Beispielsweise kann die Blockiereinrichtung des Gangflügels als eine Klemmeinrichtung, vorzugsweise Kugelklemmeinrichtung ausgebildet sein. Diese Klemmeinrichtung kann vorzugsweise auf ein in der Gleitschiene geführtes Gleitelement, oder auf andere Bauteile, des gangflügelseitigen Gleitarmtürschließers einwirken. Wesentlich ist, dass die Blockierwirkung der Blockiereinrichtung durch die standflügelseitige Steuereinrichtung aufhebbar ist.There are various possible structural designs for the blocking devices that are sufficiently known to the person skilled in the art from practice. For example, the blocking device of the active leaf can be designed as a clamping device, preferably a ball clamping device. This clamping device can preferably be on one in the slide rail A guided sliding element or other components of the sliding arm door closer on the moving leaf side act. It is essential that the blocking effect of the blocking device can be canceled by the control device on the stationary leaf.

Eine Ausführung mit einem kompakten und wenig störanfälligen Aufbau ergibt sich, indem die Blockiereinrichtung und die Steuereinrichtung weitestgehend innerhalb einer Gleitschiene angeordnet, vorzugsweise von einem Gehäuse der Gleitschiene umschlossen sind.An embodiment with a compact and less failure-prone structure results in that the blocking device and the control device are largely arranged within a slide rail, preferably enclosed by a housing of the slide rail.

Eine Zusammenwirkung zwischen dem Betätigungselement und der Steuereinrichtung erfolgt insbesondere in dem Bereich der Schließlage des Standflügels. Ist der Standflügel geschlossen oder wird der Standflügel in die Schließlage verbracht, so wirkt das Betätigungselement in einem bestimmten Winkelbereich des Standflügels mit der Steuereinrichtung zusammen, um die Blockierung des Gangflügels zu lösen. Dieser Winkelbereich kann sich von kurz vor Erreichen der Schließlage bis hin zum Erreichen der Schließlage erstrecken, vorzugsweise über einen Winkelbereich von beispielsweise 20° bis hin zu 0° (Schließlage) erstrecken. Beim Zusammenwirken vollführt der Gleitarm des Standflügeltürschließers in diesem Winkelbereich eine rückläufige Bewegung, welche linear entlang der Gleitschiene gerichtet ist. Durch diese lineare Bewegung wird der Auslösehebel der Steuervorrichtung betätigt und die Blockierung des Gangflügels gelöst.A cooperation between the actuating element and the control device takes place in particular in the area of the closed position of the passive leaf. If the inactive leaf is closed or if the inactive leaf is brought into the closed position, the actuating element interacts with the control device in a certain angular range of the inactive leaf in order to release the blocking of the active leaf. This angular range can extend from shortly before reaching the closed position to reaching the closed position, preferably over an angular range of, for example, 20 ° up to 0 ° (closed position). When interacting, the sliding arm of the passive leaf door closer executes a reverse movement in this angular range, which is directed linearly along the slide rail. This linear movement actuates the release lever of the control device and the blocking of the active leaf is released.

Vorzugsweise kann in einer Ausführung vorgesehen sein, dass die Steuereinrichtung ein Lagerelement und ein Auslöseelement aufweist und das Betätigungselement durch das Zusammenwirken mit der Steuereinrichtung das Lagerelement relativ zu dem Auslöseelement verschiebt, oder dass das Betätigungselement durch das Zusammenwirken mit der Steuereinrichtung das Auslöseelement relativ zu dem Lagerelement verschiebt. So kann die Bewegung des Betätigungselements besonders effektiv genutzt werden, um die Blockierung des Gangflügels zu lösen.Preferably, it can be provided in one embodiment that the control device has a bearing element and a triggering element and the actuating element moves the bearing element relative to the triggering element through the interaction with the control device, or that the actuating element, through the interaction with the control device, the triggering element relative to the bearing element shifts. So can the Movement of the actuating element can be used particularly effectively to release the blocking of the active leaf.

In einer kompakten Ausführung kann vorgesehen sein, dass das Lagerelement das Auslöseelement verschiebbar führt, indem das Lagerelement gegenüberliegende Gleitflächen aufweist und ein Führungsabschnitt des Auslöseelements zwischen diesen Gleitflächen verschiebbar geführt ist.In a compact embodiment it can be provided that the bearing element guides the release element displaceably, in that the bearing element has opposite sliding surfaces and a guide section of the release element is guided displaceably between these sliding surfaces.

Vorzugsweise kann in einer Ausgestaltung vorgesehen sein, dass der Auslösehebel als zweiarmiger Hebel ausgebildet ist, der in dem Lagerelement drehbar gelagert ist. Der erste Arm des zweiarmigen Steuerhebels ragt dabei aus der Gleitschiene heraus bis in die Drehebene des Standflügeltürschließers hinein und der zweite Arm wirkt mittelbar oder unmittelbar mit dem Auslöselement zum Lösen der Blockiereinrichtung zusammen. Vorzugsweise ist vorgesehen, dass der zweite Arm des Auslösehebels auf eine an dem Auslöseelement angeordnete Auflauffläche wirkt, und diese beim Schwenken so beaufschlagt, dass das Auslöseelement entlang der Gleitschiene bzw. relativ zu dem Lagerelement verschoben wird.In one embodiment, it can preferably be provided that the release lever is designed as a two-armed lever which is rotatably mounted in the bearing element. The first arm of the two-armed control lever protrudes from the slide rail into the plane of rotation of the fixed leaf door closer and the second arm interacts directly or indirectly with the release element to release the blocking device. It is preferably provided that the second arm of the release lever acts on a run-up surface arranged on the release element, and acts upon this during pivoting so that the release element is displaced along the slide rail or relative to the bearing element.

Der zweiarmige Steuerhebel kann um eine horizontal verlaufende Achse drehbar gelagert sein, die vorzugsweise quer zu der Längserstreckung der Gleitschiene verläuft.The two-armed control lever can be rotatably mounted about a horizontally extending axis which preferably runs transversely to the longitudinal extension of the slide rail.

Die Lagerung des zweiarmigen Auslösehebels in dem Lagerelement kann insbesondere über Lagerzapfen oder über eine Achse erfolgen. Die Lagerzapfen oder die Achse können einstückig mit dem Lagerelement oder dem Auslösehebel ausgebildet sein, oder als separate Bauteile ausgebildet sein.The two-armed release lever can be mounted in the bearing element, in particular, via bearing journals or via an axis. The bearing journals or the axle can be designed in one piece with the bearing element or the release lever, or be designed as separate components.

Eine besonders gute Lagerung des Auslösehebels kann mit einer Ausgestaltung erzielt werden, bei der sich die horizontal verlaufende Achse, auf welcher der zweiarmige Hebel gelagert ist, sich durch das Lagerelement hindurch bis in den Wandbereich der Gleitschiene erstreckt. Eine weitere Verbesserung der mechanischen Belastbarkeit kann erzielt werden, indem die Endabschnitte der horizontal verlaufenden Achse jeweils in einer in oder an der Wand der Gleitschiene angeordneten Aufnahme gehaltert sind oder in einer Nut geführt sind.A particularly good mounting of the release lever can be achieved with an embodiment in which the horizontally running axis on which the two-armed lever is mounted extends through the bearing element into the wall area of the slide rail. A further improvement in the mechanical load-bearing capacity can be achieved in that the end sections of the horizontally running axis are each held in a receptacle arranged in or on the wall of the slide rail or are guided in a groove.

Es kann vorgesehen sein, dass die Steuerungseinrichtung einen Kraftspeicher, vorzugsweise eine Feder aufweist, die das Auslöselement so vorbelastet, dass das Auslöseelement normalerweise, d. h. ohne die Einwirkung des Betätigungselements, von dem Kraftspeicher in eine Ausgangsstellung verbracht wird. In der Ausgangsstellung wird die Blockierwirkung der Blockiereinrichtung wieder hergestellt, so dass eine Schließbewegung des Gangflügels gestoppt wird.It can be provided that the control device has an energy storage device, preferably a spring, which preloads the release element so that the release element normally, i. H. without the action of the actuating element, the energy storage device is brought into an initial position. In the starting position, the blocking effect of the blocking device is restored, so that a closing movement of the active leaf is stopped.

Für eine in vorteilhafter Weise Bauhöhe sparende Ausgestaltung kann vorgesehen sein, dass das Betätigungselement in Flucht zu dem Gleitarm des Standflügeltürschließers angeordnet ist. Der Gleitarm ist in der Regel als ein flaches Bauteil mit geringer Bauhöhe ausgebildet und in dem Bauraum zwischen der Gleitschiene und einem Türschließergehäuse angebracht. Durch die Anordnung des Betätigungselements in der Flucht des Gleitarms, wird zwischen der Gleitschiene und dem Türschließergehäuse kein zusätzlicher Bauraum benötigt und die Schließfolgeregelung kann besonders kompakt ausgebildet werden. Die Anordnung des Betätigungselements fluchtend mit der durch den Gleitarm definierten Ebene umfasst auch Ausführungen, bei denen das Betätigungselement eine größere oder kleinere Dicke als der Gleitarm aufweist, so lange eine Verlängerung der Mittellinie des Gleitarms durch das Betätigungselement verläuft.For an embodiment that advantageously saves overall height, provision can be made for the actuating element to be arranged in alignment with the sliding arm of the stationary leaf door closer. The slide arm is usually designed as a flat component with a low overall height and is mounted in the installation space between the slide rail and a door closer housing. By arranging the actuating element in alignment with the slide arm, no additional installation space is required between the slide rail and the door closer housing and the closing sequence control can be made particularly compact. The arrangement of the actuating element in alignment with the plane defined by the sliding arm also includes designs in which the actuating element has a greater or lesser thickness than the sliding arm as long as an extension of the center line of the slide arm extends through the actuating element.

Insbesondere kann in einer Ausführung vorgesehen sein, dass das Betätigungselement auf der zu dem Standflügel hin gerichteten Seite geöffnet ist um den Auslösehebel zu greifen.In particular, it can be provided in one embodiment that the actuating element is opened on the side facing the inactive leaf in order to grip the release lever.

Der Gleitarm des Standflügels vollzieht eine kombinierte Bewegung, zusammengesetzt aus einer Drehbewegung um eine durch den Lagerbolzen des Gleitelements verlaufende Achse und eine entlang der Gleitschiene verlaufende lineare Bewegung. Die Öffnung des Betätigungselements ist so angeordnet, dass beim Schließen des Standflügels, die Öffnung in Folge der Drehbewegung durch die auf der zu dem Standflügel hin gerichteten Öffnung in Eingriff mit dem Auslösehebel der Steuerungsvorrichtung gelangt.The sliding arm of the passive leaf performs a combined movement, composed of a rotary movement about an axis running through the bearing pin of the sliding element and a linear movement running along the slide rail. The opening of the actuating element is arranged in such a way that when the passive leaf is closed, the opening as a result of the rotary movement through the opening directed towards the inactive leaf engages with the release lever of the control device.

Eine besonders einfache Montage der Schließfolgeregelung ergibt sich, wenn das Betätigungselement zusammen mit dem Gleitarmtürschließer bereits werksseitig vorgerüstet oder vorgefertigt wird.A particularly simple assembly of the closing sequence control results when the actuating element is pre-equipped or prefabricated together with the sliding arm door closer at the factory.

Eine Anwendung der erfindungsgemäßen Schließfolgeregelung kann bei doppelflügeligen Türen erfolgen, die beispielsweise in Gängen in Gebäuden angeordnet sind. Ebenso kann die Schließfolgeregelung beispielsweise auch bei doppelflügeligen Brandschutztüren verwendet werden.The closing sequence control according to the invention can be used for double-leaf doors which are arranged, for example, in corridors in buildings. The closing sequence control can also be used for double-leaf fire protection doors, for example.

In der Figur 1 ist eine zweiflügelige Tür mit einer Schließfolgeregelung 1 gezeigt. Die beiden Türflügel 11g, 11s sind über Bänder 15a, b, c, d in einem ortsfesten Rahmen 16 gehalten und in der Figur 1 in Schließstellung dargestellt. Der ortsfeste Rahmen 16 umfasst eine Öffnung in einer Wand 17.In the Figure 1 a double-leaf door with a closing sequence control 1 is shown. The two door leaves 11g, 11s are held in a fixed frame 16 via strips 15a, b, c, d and in the Figure 1 shown in closed position. The stationary frame 16 comprises an opening in a wall 17.

Ein Flügel der Tür ist als Gangflügel 11g und der andere Flügel der Tür ist als Standflügel 12s ausgebildet. Der Gangflügel ist ein überschlagender Gangflügel und wird normalerweise zum Begehen der Türe geöffnet. Der Standflügel ist als unterschlagender Flügel ausgebildet und bleibt normalerweise geschlossen. Der Standflügel 12s wird in der Regel nur geöffnet, wenn ein breiter Durchgang erforderlich ist.One leaf of the door is designed as an active leaf 11g and the other leaf of the door is designed as an inactive leaf 12s. The active leaf is an overturning active leaf and is normally opened to allow people to enter the door. The passive leaf is designed as a concealed leaf and normally remains closed. The passive leaf 12s is usually only opened when a wide passage is required.

Beide Türflügel 11g, 12s sind mit obenliegenden Gleitarmtürschließern 2g, 3s versehen, die die Türflügel 11g, 12s jeweils in Schließrichtung beaufschlagen. Die Gleitarmtürschließer 2g, 3s weisen jeweils ein auf den Türflügeln aufliegend montiertes Gehäuse auf, in dem eine Türschließermechanik mit einer Schließfeder angeordnet ist, die auf eine Türschließerwelle 23g, 33s wirkt. Als kraftübertragendes Gestänge ist an der Türschließerwelle 23g, 33s jeweils ein Gleitarm 21g, 31s drehfest angeschlossen, der in einer an dem oberen Holm des Türrahmens montierten Gleitschiene 4 über einen Gleitstein 22g, 32s geführt ist.Both door leaves 11g, 12s are provided with sliding arm door closers 2g, 3s located at the top, which act on the door leaves 11g, 12s in the closing direction. The sliding arm door closers 2g, 3s each have a housing mounted on the door leaves, in which a door closer mechanism with a closing spring is arranged, which acts on a door closer shaft 23g, 33s. As a force-transmitting linkage, a sliding arm 21g, 31s is connected to the door closer shaft 23g, 33s in a rotationally fixed manner and is guided over a sliding block 22g, 32s in a slide rail 4 mounted on the upper spar of the door frame.

Die Figur 1 zeigt eine Bandgegenseitenmontage der Türschließer, d. h. die Öffnungsrichtung der beiden Türflügel 11g, 12s geht in die Bildebene hinein.The Figure 1 shows an assembly of the door closers on the opposite hinge, ie the opening direction of the two door leaves 11g, 12s extends into the plane of the drawing.

Wie in der Figur 5 dargestellt, ist die Mechanik der Schließfolgeregelungsvorrichtung 1 in der Gleitschiene 4 verdeckt aufgenommen und sorgt dafür, dass die beiden Türflügel 11g, 12s beim Schließen stets die korrekte Schließfolge einhalten.Like in the Figure 5 shown, the mechanism of the closing sequence control device 1 is accommodated in a concealed manner in the slide rail 4 and ensures that the two door leaves 11g, 12s always adhere to the correct closing sequence when closing.

Der Standflügel 12s wirkt in seiner Schließlage mit der Steuervorrichtung 5 zum Lösen der Blockiervorrichtung 6 zusammen. Das bedeutet, wenn der Standflügel in Schließlage kommt oder sich in Schließlage befindet, wird über die Steuervorrichtung 5 die Bremswirkung der Blockiervorrichtung 6 aufgehoben, und der Gangflügel kann Schließen.In its closed position, the inactive leaf 12s interacts with the control device 5 to release the blocking device 6. This means that when the passive leaf comes into the closed position or is in the closed position, the braking effect of the blocking device 6 is canceled via the control device 5, and the active leaf can close.

Die Schließfolgeregelung 1 umfasst eine standflügelseitige Steuereinrichtung 5 und eine gangflügelseitige Blockiereinrichtung 6. Die Steuervorrichtung 5 ist innerhalb der Gleitschiene 4 im Bereich des Standflügels 12s angeordnet und über eine Druckstange 61 mit der Blockiervorrichtung 6 verbunden.The closing sequence control 1 comprises a control device 5 on the stationary leaf side and a blocking device 6 on the active leaf side. The control device 5 is arranged within the slide rail 4 in the area of the stationary leaf 12s and is connected to the blocking device 6 via a push rod 61.

Die Blockiereinrichtung 6 stoppt die Bewegung des Gangflügels 11g bevor dieser seine Schließlage erreicht. Dazu bremst die Blockiereinrichtung die Bewegung des gangflügelseitigen Gleitarms bzw. den gangflügelseitigen Gleitstein in der Gleitschiene 4. Der Gangflügel 11g wird von der Blockiereinrichtung 6 in einer solchen Stellung angehalten, dass die Bewegung des Standflügels 12s beim Schließen nicht behindert wird.The blocking device 6 stops the movement of the active leaf 11g before it reaches its closed position. To this end, the blocking device brakes the movement of the sliding arm on the active leaf side or the sliding block on the active leaf side in the slide rail 4. The active leaf 11g is stopped by the blocking device 6 in such a position that the movement of the passive leaf 12s is not hindered when it is closed.

Die Funktion und der Aufbau der Schließfolgeregelung 1 wird nachfolgend anhand der Darstellungen der Figuren 3 bis 6 näher erläutert. Die Steuereinrichtung 5 umfasst ein Lagerelement 51 (Fig. 3a) und ein Auslöseelement 55 (Fig. 3b). Eine Druckstange 61 (Fig. 1) verbindet das Auslöseelement 55 mit der Blockiervorrichtung 6 um diese in Abhängigkeit von der Position des Auslöseelements 55 relativ zu dem Lagerelement 51 zu steuern (Fig. 5), d.h. die Blockierwirkung des Gangflügels zu lösen oder einzuschalten.The function and structure of the closing sequence control 1 is illustrated below using the illustrations of Figures 3 to 6 explained in more detail. The control device 5 comprises a bearing element 51 ( Fig. 3a ) and a Release element 55 ( Figure 3b ). A push rod 61 ( Fig. 1 ) connects the release element 55 with the blocking device 6 in order to control this depending on the position of the release element 55 relative to the bearing element 51 ( Fig. 5 ), ie to release or activate the blocking effect of the active leaf.

Das Lagerelement 51 und das Auslöseelement 55 sind aus einem Kunststoff ausgebildet. Um bei einem Einbau in die Gleitschiene 4 eine Deformation des Kunststoffs zu vermeiden werden zwei Plattenelemente 43a, 43b aus Metall verwendet.The bearing element 51 and the trigger element 55 are formed from a plastic. In order to avoid deformation of the plastic when it is installed in the slide rail 4, two plate elements 43a, 43b made of metal are used.

Das Lagerelement 51 lagert das Auslöseelement 55 verschiebbar, indem das Lagerelement 51 zwei gegenüberliegende Gleitflächen 51a und 51b aufweist, zwischen denen ein Führungselement 55a des Auslöseelements geführt ist (Fig. 5). Weitere, aus der Figur 5 nicht direkt ersichtliche nach oben und unten wirkende Gleitflächen sind vorgesehen, um das Auslöseelement 55 auf dem Lagerelement 51 zu führen. Durch diese Führung gleitet das Auslöselement 55 ausschließlich auf dem Lagerelement 51 und weist keine gemeinsame Gleitfläche mit der Gleitschiene 4 auf. Das Auslöselement gleitet also ausschließlich auf Gleitflächen der Reibpartner Kunststoff zu Kunststoff. Es wird somit wirksam vermieden, dass durch die Materialkombination Kunststoff/Metall ein hoher Reibwiderstand entsteht.The bearing element 51 supports the release element 55 displaceably in that the bearing element 51 has two opposing sliding surfaces 51a and 51b, between which a guide element 55a of the release element is guided ( Fig. 5 ). Further, from the Figure 5 Upward and downward sliding surfaces that are not directly visible are provided to guide the release element 55 on the bearing element 51. As a result of this guide, the trigger element 55 slides exclusively on the bearing element 51 and has no common sliding surface with the slide rail 4. The trigger element therefore only slides on sliding surfaces of the friction partners plastic to plastic. This effectively prevents the plastic / metal material combination from creating a high frictional resistance.

Bei der Montage wird das Auslöseelement 55 (Fig. 3b) in das Lagerelement 51 (Fig. 3a) eingesetzt und beide zusammen werden in die Gleitschiene eingeführt und dort befestigt (Fig. 5). Durch Verschieben des Lagerelements 51 entlang der Gleitschiene kann dessen genaue Lage eingestellt werden. Die Befestigung des Lagerelements 51 erfolgt nun über die Druckplatte 43a die mittels Gewindestifte gegen zwei in das Lagerelement 51 eingesetzte Vierkantmuttern verschraubt und so an der Gleitschienenwand verspannt wird, um dadurch das Lagerelement 51 innerhalb der Gleitschiene 4 an gewünschter Position festzulegen (Fig. 5).During assembly, the release element 55 ( Figure 3b ) into the bearing element 51 ( Fig. 3a ) and both are inserted into the slide rail and fastened there ( Fig. 5 ). By moving the bearing element 51 along the slide rail, its exact position can be adjusted. The attachment of the bearing element 51 is now carried out via the pressure plate 43a, which is screwed against two square nuts inserted into the bearing element 51 by means of threaded pins and thus braced against the slide rail wall, in order to fix the bearing element 51 in the desired position within the slide rail 4 ( Fig. 5 ).

Eine zweite Befestigungsplatte 43b erstreckt sich von Gleitschienenwand zu Gleitschienenwand quer zu der Gleitschiene 4 um beim festen Anschrauben der Gleitschiene 4 an den Türrahmen ein Zusammendrücken derselben zu verhindern. Die Befestigungsplatte 43b dient zudem als Gegenlager für den Aufnahmebereich des Auslösehebels 52.A second fastening plate 43b extends from slide rail wall to slide rail wall transversely to slide rail 4 in order to prevent the slide rail 4 from being pressed together when the door frame is firmly screwed. The fastening plate 43b also serves as a counter-bearing for the receiving area of the release lever 52.

Über einen als Feder 62 ausgebildeten Kraftspeicher wird die Steuereinrichtung 5 in die Blockierstellung vorbelastet, so dass normalerweise bzw. bei geöffnetem Standflügel 12s die Schließbewegung des Gangflügels 11g blockiert wird (Fig. 6a). Die Feder 62 ist zwischen Lagerelement 51 und Auslöseelement 55 angeordnet und beaufschlagt das Auslöseelement 55 so, dass dieses über die Blockiervorrichtung 6 eine Schließbewegung des Gangflügels 11g blockiert.The control device 5 is preloaded into the blocking position via an energy storage device designed as a spring 62, so that the closing movement of the active leaf 11g is blocked normally or when the passive leaf 12s is open ( Figure 6a ). The spring 62 is arranged between the bearing element 51 and the release element 55 and acts on the release element 55 in such a way that it blocks a closing movement of the active leaf 11g via the blocking device 6.

Bei der dargestellten Bandgegenseitenmontage ergibt sich auf Grund der geometrischen Abmessungen eine Besonderheit beim Bewegungsablauf der Gleiter 22g, 32s (Fig. 1). Diese führen keine kontinuierliche Bewegung aus, sondern drehen kurz vor Erreichen der Schließlage des jeweiligen Türflügels ihre Bewegungsrichtung um.In the case of the assembly on the opposite side of the hinge, the geometric dimensions result in a special feature of the movement sequence of the sliders 22g, 32s ( Fig. 1 ). These do not perform a continuous movement, but rather reverse their direction of movement shortly before reaching the closed position of the respective door leaf.

In der Darstellung der Figur 1 läuft der Gleitstein 32s des standflügelseitigen Türschließers 3s beim Schließen zunächst nach links in Richtung auf die Schließkante des Standflügels 12s zu. Kurz vor Erreichen der endgültigen Schließlage kehrt der Gleitstein 32s jedoch seine Bewegungsrichtung um und läuft bis zum Erreichen der endgültigen Schließlage nach rechts zu der Bandseite des Standflügels 12s hin. Für den gangflügelseitigen Gleitstein 22g gilt entsprechendes mit jeweils umgekehrter Bewegungsrichtung.In the representation of the Figure 1 the sliding block 32s of the door closer 3s on the stationary leaf side initially runs to the left during closing in the direction of the closing edge of the stationary leaf 12s. Just before reaching the final In the closed position, however, the sliding block 32s reverses its direction of movement and runs to the right to the hinge side of the inactive leaf 12s until the final closed position is reached. For the sliding block 22g on the active leaf side, the same applies with the opposite direction of movement.

Das Zusammenwirken des standflügelseitigen Gleitarmtürschließers 3s mit der Steuerungsvorrichtung 5 wird nachfolgend anhand der Figuren 2 bis 6 im Einzelnen erläutert.The interaction of the sliding arm door closer 3s on the stationary leaf side with the control device 5 is illustrated below with reference to FIG Figures 2 to 6 explained in detail.

Die Figur 2a zeigt den standflügelseitigen Gleitarm 31s mit dem Betätigungselement 7 in Seitenansicht. Der Gleitarm 31s ist an einem Ende mit einer Achse 33s des standflügelseitigen Türschließers drehfest und lösbar verbunden. Der Bereich des freien Endes des Standflügelgleitarms 31s liegt dem mit der Türschließerachse 33s verbundenen Ende des Gleitarms 31s gegenüber und ist dem in der Gleitschiene 4 geführten Gleitstein 32s zugeordnet.The Figure 2a shows the sliding arm 31s on the stationary leaf side with the actuating element 7 in a side view. The sliding arm 31s is rotatably and detachably connected at one end to an axis 33s of the door closer on the stationary leaf side. The area of the free end of the inactive leaf slide arm 31s lies opposite the end of the slide arm 31s connected to the door closer axis 33s and is assigned to the slide block 32s guided in the slide rail 4.

Durch das Öffnen und Schließen des Standflügels 12s wird der standflügelseitige Gleitarm 31s innerhalb einer durch eine gestrichelte Linie angedeutete Drehebene D bewegt, wobei der Gleitarm 31s eine kombinierte Linear- und Drehbewegung vollzieht. Das Betätigungselement 7 ist platzsparend in Flucht zu dem Körper des Gleitarms 31s angeordnet. Das Betätigungselement 7, bzw. der Körper 73 des Betätigungselements 7 ist dadurch ebenfalls in der Drehebene D angeordnet.By opening and closing the stationary leaf 12s, the sliding arm 31s on the stationary leaf is moved within a plane of rotation D indicated by a dashed line, the sliding arm 31s performing a combined linear and rotary movement. The actuating element 7 is arranged in alignment with the body of the sliding arm 31s to save space. The actuating element 7 or the body 73 of the actuating element 7 is thus also arranged in the plane of rotation D.

Eine Draufsicht des Gleitarms 31s in verschiedenen Darstellungen, die sich voneinander jeweils nur um die Position des Betätigungselements 7 unterscheiden, ist in der Figur 2b gezeigt. In der untersten Darstellung der Figur 2b ist das Betätigungselement 7 von dem Gleitarm 31s gelöst. Das Betätigungselement 7 ist bezüglich seiner Längsachse, oder der Längsachse des Gleitarms 31s, symmetrisch ausgestaltet und kann für rechts oder links Montage verwendet werden. Es kann in der Position wie in Figur 2b dargestellt mit dem Gleitarm 31s verbunden werden, oder in einer um 180° gedrehten Position (In der untersten Darstellung der Figur 2b durch Pfeile angedeutet) mit dem Gleitarm 31s verbunden werden. Dadurch ist die Schließfolgeregelung universell verwendbar, unabhängig davon ob der Standflügel der zweiflügeligen Türe rechts oder links angeordnet ist.A top view of the sliding arm 31s in various representations that differ from one another only by the position of the actuating element 7 is shown in FIG Figure 2b shown. In the bottom representation of the Figure 2b the actuating element 7 is released from the slide arm 31s. The Actuating element 7 is designed symmetrically with respect to its longitudinal axis, or the longitudinal axis of the sliding arm 31s, and can be used for right or left assembly. It can be in the position as in Figure 2b shown connected to the sliding arm 31s, or in a position rotated by 180 ° (In the bottom illustration of the Figure 2b indicated by arrows) are connected to the slide arm 31s. This means that the closing sequence control can be used universally, regardless of whether the fixed leaf of the double-leaf door is arranged on the right or left.

Das Betätigungselement 7 weist eine Steckverbindung 74 auf. Es wird auf das freie Ende des Standflügelgleitarms 31s aufgesteckt und durch die Steckverbindung 74 auf diesem geführt. In den Darstellungen der Figuren 2b sind von unten nach oben unterschiedliche Positionen des Betätigungselements auf dem Gleitarm dargestellt. Das Betätigungselement 7 ist innerhalb eines Justierbereichs an einer beliebigen Position auf dem Standflügelgleitarm 31s befestigbar. Die drei in den Darstellungen der Figur 2b gezeigten Positionen des Justierbereichs zeigen beispielhaft drei mögliche Positionen innerhalb des Justierbereichs bei 26mm, 36mm und 46mm. Der Justierbereich kann vorzugsweise einen Bereich von 20mm bis 100mm umfassen. Der Justierbereich kann auch einen größeren Bereich als 100mm abdecken. Die obere Grenze des Justierbereichs hängt letztendlich nur von der Länge des Betätigungselementes 7 ab.The actuating element 7 has a plug connection 74. It is attached to the free end of the inactive leaf sliding arm 31s and guided through the plug connection 74 on this. In the representations of the Figures 2b different positions of the actuating element on the slide arm are shown from bottom to top. The actuating element 7 can be fastened at any position on the inactive leaf sliding arm 31s within an adjustment range. The three in the representations of the Figure 2b The positions of the adjustment range shown show three possible positions within the adjustment range at 26mm, 36mm and 46mm. The adjustment range can preferably include a range from 20mm to 100mm. The adjustment range can also cover a larger area than 100mm. The upper limit of the adjustment range ultimately only depends on the length of the actuating element 7.

Zum Verbinden des Betätigungselements 7 mit dem Gleitarm 31s weist dieses eine C-förmige Nut 72 auf, welche den Körper des Gleitarms 38 beidseitig umgreift. Die C-förmige oder U-förmige Nut 72 weist zwei Nutabschnitte 72a und 72b auf. Diese Nutabschnitte 72a und 72b sind einander gegenüberliegen so angeordnet, dass die Öffnungen der Nut 72 jeweils zueinander weisen. Der Abstand der beiden Nutabschnitte 72a und 72b ist so bemessen, dass der Körper des Gleitarms 38 zwischen die beiden Nutabschnitte 72a und 72b eingeschoben werden kann. Der Abstand der beiden Nutabschnitte 72a und 72b entspricht den Abmessungen des Gleitarms 31s im Bereich seines freien Endes.To connect the actuating element 7 to the sliding arm 31s, the latter has a C-shaped groove 72 which engages around the body of the sliding arm 38 on both sides. The C-shaped or U-shaped groove 72 has two groove sections 72a and 72b. These groove sections 72a and 72b are arranged opposite one another in such a way that the openings of the groove 72 each face one another. The distance between the two groove sections 72a and 72b is dimensioned so that the Body of the sliding arm 38 can be inserted between the two groove sections 72a and 72b. The distance between the two groove sections 72a and 72b corresponds to the dimensions of the sliding arm 31s in the region of its free end.

Die Befestigung des Betätigungselements 7 an dem Gleitarm 31s erfolgt durch eine Klemmverbindung, die in den Figuren 2c und 2d näher gezeigt ist. Ein Lagerbolzen 35 verbindet den Standflügelgleitarm 31s drehbar mit dem Gleitstein 32s. Der Lagerbolzen 35 weist einen Kragen 36 auf, der eine Auflagefläche 36 für das Betätigungselement 7 bildet. Die Umfangsfläche des Lagerbolzens weist ein Außengewinde 37 auf, welches mit dem Körper des Standflügelgleitarm 31s verschraubt ist. Somit dient der Lagerbolzen gleichzeitig als Klemmschraube. Durch diese Verschraubung 37 wird das Betätigungselement 7 gegen die Auflagefläche 36 des Lagerbolzens 35 verklemmt. So entsteht eine drehfeste Verbindung zwischen Lagerbolzen 35 und Betätigungselement 7 bzw. Standflügelgleitarm 31s.The actuation element 7 is fastened to the sliding arm 31s by means of a clamp connection which is inserted into the Figures 2c and 2d is shown in more detail. A bearing pin 35 rotatably connects the inactive leaf sliding arm 31s to the sliding block 32s. The bearing pin 35 has a collar 36 which forms a support surface 36 for the actuating element 7. The peripheral surface of the bearing pin has an external thread 37 which is screwed to the body of the inactive leaf slide arm 31s. Thus, the bearing pin also serves as a clamping screw. The actuating element 7 is clamped against the bearing surface 36 of the bearing pin 35 by this screw connection 37. This creates a non-rotatable connection between the bearing pin 35 and the actuating element 7 or inactive leaf sliding arm 31s.

Das Betätigungselement 7 weist zum Betätigen der Steuereinrichtung 5 eine Rolle 71 auf (Fig. 2d). Die Rolle 71 ist an dem Betätigungselement 7 über eine Rollenachse 71a gelagert. Die Rollenachse ist in der Drehebene D und damit in Flucht zu dem Standflügelgleitarm 31s angebracht. Die Rolle 71 wirkt mit einem Auslösehebel 52 zusammen (Fig. 3 und 4), indem die Rolle 71 beim Schließen des Standflügels 12s diesen Auslösehebel 52 greift und betätigt. Dabei rollt die Rolle 71 auf einer Abrollfläche 54 des Auslösehebels 52 ab. Die Abrollfläche 54 ist an dem freien Ende des Auslösehebels 52 angebracht, welches aus der Gleitschiene herausragt (Fig. 3 und 4). Eine gerundete Oberfläche der Abrollfläche 54 gleicht Toleranzen aus und sorgt für ein gutes Abrollen der Rolle 71. Dadurch wird eine möglichst störungsfreie Zusammenwirkung zwischen dem Betätigungselement 7 und der Steuereinrichtung 5 ermöglicht.The actuating element 7 has a roller 71 for actuating the control device 5 ( Fig. 2d ). The roller 71 is mounted on the actuating element 7 via a roller axis 71a. The roller axis is mounted in the plane of rotation D and thus in alignment with the inactive leaf sliding arm 31s. The roller 71 cooperates with a release lever 52 ( Fig. 3 and 4th ), in that the roller 71 grips and actuates this release lever 52 when the passive leaf 12s is closed. The roller 71 rolls on a rolling surface 54 of the release lever 52. The rolling surface 54 is attached to the free end of the release lever 52, which protrudes from the slide rail ( Fig. 3 and 4th ). A rounded surface of the rolling surface 54 compensates for tolerances and ensures that the roller 71 rolls smoothly. This enables an interaction between the actuating element 7 and the control device 5 that is as trouble-free as possible.

Der Auslösehebel 52 ist als zweiarmiger Hebel ausgebildet, welcher um eine sich horizontal und quer zu der Längserstreckung der Gleitschiene 4 verlaufende Achse 53 drehbar gelagert ist (Fig. 3 und 4). Der Auslösehebel 52 ist mit der Achse 53 in dem Lagerelement 51 drehbar gelagert, wie in den Figuren 3a und 4a dargestellt ist. Die in den Figuren 4a bis 4c bzw. 3a bis 3c dargestellten Ausführungen unterscheiden sich lediglich in der Art der Lagerung des Auslösehebels 52. In den Figur 3a bis 3c ist die Achse 53 vollständig innerhalb des Lagerelements 51 angeordnet, wobei sie in der in den Figuren 4a bis 4c dargestellten Ausführung sich über das Lagerelement 51 hinaus bis in den Wandbereich 41 der Gleitschiene 4 erstreckt und dort in Aufnahmen 42a und 42b gehaltert ist.The release lever 52 is designed as a two-armed lever which is mounted rotatably about an axis 53 running horizontally and transversely to the longitudinal extension of the slide rail 4 ( Fig. 3 and 4th ). The release lever 52 is rotatably mounted with the axis 53 in the bearing element 51, as in the Figures 3a and 4a is shown. The ones in the Figures 4a to 4c and FIGS. 3a to 3c only differ in the type of mounting of the release lever 52. In FIGS Figures 3a to 3c the axis 53 is arranged completely within the bearing element 51, being in the in the Figures 4a to 4c The embodiment shown extends beyond the bearing element 51 into the wall area 41 of the slide rail 4 and is held there in receptacles 42a and 42b.

Die Ausgestaltung Wirkungsweise des Auslösehebels ist auch in der Schnittdarstellung der Figuren 6a und 6b näher dargestellt. Figur 6a zeigt die Blockierstellung der Schließfolgeregelung 1 bei unbetätigtem Auslösehebel 52. Figur 6b zeigt eine Betätigungsstellung des Auslösehebels 52 bei der die Blockerwirkung über das Auslöseelement 55 aufgehoben wird.The design mode of operation of the release lever is also shown in the sectional view of FIG Figures 6a and 6b shown in more detail. Figure 6a shows the blocking position of the closing sequence control 1 when the release lever 52 is not actuated. Figure 6b shows an actuation position of the release lever 52 in which the blocking effect via the release element 55 is canceled.

Der Auslösehebel 52 ist als zweiarmiger Auslösehebel ausgebildet. Er weist einen ersten Arm 52a und einen dazu rechtwinklig verlaufenden Arm 52b auf. Der erste Arm 52a des Auslösehebels 52 erstreckt sich nach unten bis über die Gleitschiene 4 hinaus bis in die Bewegungsebene des standflügelseitigen Gleitarms 31s hinein.The release lever 52 is designed as a two-armed release lever. It has a first arm 52a and an arm 52b extending at right angles thereto. The first arm 52a of the release lever 52 extends downward beyond the slide rail 4 into the plane of movement of the slide arm 31s on the stationary leaf side.

Der zweite Arm 52b des Auslösehebels 52 wirkt mit dem Auslöseelement 55 zusammen, indem dieser auf eine Auflaufschräge einwirkt um das Auslöseelement 55 relativ zu dem Lagerelement 51 zu verschieben. Über die Ausgestaltung der Auflaufschräge 56 und des zweiten Hebelarms 52b kann der Kraftverlauf bzw. der Wegeverlauf optimiert werden.The second arm 52b of the release lever 52 interacts with the release element 55 in that the latter acts on a run-up slope in order to move the release element 55 relative to the bearing element 51. The course of the force or the course of the path can be optimized via the configuration of the run-up slope 56 and the second lever arm 52b.

Eine Betätigung des zweiarmigen Auslösehebels 52 erfolgt, indem das Betätigungselement 7 eine Öffnung mit einer Rolle 71 aufweist. Diese Öffnung ist an der dem Standflügel 12s zugewandten Seite geöffnet. Indem der standflügelseitige Gleitarm 32s in Schließlage kommt, schwenkt die Öffnung über den ersten Arm 52a des Steuerhebels 52. Durch die Bewegungsumkehr des standflügelseitigen Gleitarms 32s kurz vor Erreichen der Schließlage, wird nun der Steuerhebel 52 über das Betätigungselement 7 verschwenkt, indem die Rolle 71 den ersten Arm des Auslösehebels 52 betätigt und dabei auf der Abrollfläche 54 des Auslösehebels abrollt. Der Standflügelgleitarm 31s bzw. das Betätigungselement 7 bewegt sich dabei entlang der Gleitschiene 4 ein Stück in Richtung auf die Bandseite des Standflügels 12s zu und nimmt dabei den ersten Arm 52a des Auslösehebels 52 mit, wie in den Figuren 6a und 6b durch Pfeile angedeutet ist. Der zweite Arm 52b des Steuerhebels 52 drückt nun über die Auflaufschräge 56 auf das Auslöseelement 55, so dass sich dieses relativ zu dem Lagerelement 51 entlang der Gleitschiene 4 verschiebt und über die Druckstange 61 die Blockierwirkung der Blockiervorrichtung 6 löst.The two-armed release lever 52 is actuated in that the actuating element 7 has an opening with a roller 71. This opening is open on the side facing the passive leaf 12s. As the sliding arm 32s on the standing leaf comes into the closed position, the opening pivots over the first arm 52a of the control lever 52.By reversing the movement of the sliding arm 32s on the standing leaf shortly before reaching the closed position, the control lever 52 is now pivoted over the actuating element 7 by the roller 71 being the first arm of the release lever 52 is actuated and rolls on the rolling surface 54 of the release lever. The inactive leaf slide arm 31s or the actuating element 7 moves a little along the slide rail 4 in the direction of the hinge side of the inactive leaf 12s and takes the first arm 52a of the release lever 52 with it, as in FIG Figures 6a and 6b is indicated by arrows. The second arm 52b of the control lever 52 now presses the release element 55 via the run-up bevel 56, so that this moves relative to the bearing element 51 along the slide rail 4 and releases the blocking effect of the blocking device 6 via the push rod 61.
