Description

Die vorliegende Erfindung betrifft ein System zum Verhindern des Schließens einer Tür gemäß dem Oberbegriff des Anspruchs 1.The present invention relates to a system for preventing the closing of a door according to the preamble of claim 1.

Eine Vorrichtung zum Verhindern des Schließens einer Tür dient unter anderem dem Klemmschutz. Es soll verhindert werden, dass die Tür geschlossen wird, wenn sich beispielsweise eine Hand eines Kindes in einem Spalt zwischen Tür und Türrahmen befindet.A device for preventing the closing of a door serves, among other things, to protect against pinching. The aim is to prevent the door from being closed if, for example, a child's hand is in a gap between the door and the door frame.

Vorrichtungen zum Verhindern des Schließens einer Tür sind aus dem Stand der Technik bekannt. DE 20 2006 017 037 U1 zeigt eine Vorrichtung, bei der ein Blockiermittel in einer schlossseitig oberen Ecke des Türrahmens befestigt wird. Das Blockiermittel kann eine Freigabeposition und eine Blockierposition einnehmen. In der Freigabeposition ist ein Schließen der Tür möglich, wohingegen in der Blockierposition ein Schließen der Tür dadurch verhindert wird, dass die Tür an dem Blockiermittel anschlägt.Devices for preventing the closing of a door are known from the prior art. DE 20 2006 017 037 U1 shows a device in which a blocking means is fastened in an upper corner of the door frame on the lock side. The blocking means can assume a release position and a blocking position. Closing of the door is possible in the release position, whereas closing of the door is prevented in the blocking position by the door hitting the blocking means.

Die US 2012/079680 A1 offenbart eine Klemmschutzvorrichtung, bei der ein Ballsegmentförmiges Blockiermittel zwischen einer Blockierposition und einer Freigabeposition verschwenkt werden kann.the U.S. 2012/079680 A1 discloses an anti-pinch device in which a blocking means in the form of a segment of a ball can be pivoted between a blocking position and a release position.

Die US 2 229 088 A offenbart eine Vorrichtung zum Verhindern des Schließens einer Tür, bei der ein Blockiermittel an einen am Türrahmen angeordneten Stoppelement anschlägt und so ein Schließen der Tür verhindert.the U.S. 2,229,088 A discloses a device for preventing the closing of a door, in which a blocking means strikes a stop element arranged on the door frame and thus prevents the door from closing.

Bei der Vorrichtung gemäß DE 20 2006 017 037 U1 wird beim Öffnen der Tür das Blockiermittel automatisch in die Blockierposition bewegt.According to the device DE 20 2006 017 037 U1 the blocking device is automatically moved into the blocking position when the door is opened.

Nachteilig ist dabei insbesondere, dass die Vorrichtung in der oberen Ecke des Türrahmens befestigt werden muss, sodass sie für kleine Personen, zum Betätigen der Entriegelungsfunktion, nur schwer oder gar nicht zu erreichen ist. Außerdem kann die Vorrichtung nur entweder für rechte Türen oder linke Türen nach der einschlägigen DIN-Norm verwendet werden. Dadurch erhöht sich der Produktionsaufwand.The particular disadvantage here is that the device has to be fastened in the upper corner of the door frame, so that small people can only reach it with difficulty or not at all in order to activate the unlocking function. In addition, the device can only be used for either right-hand doors or left-hand doors according to the relevant DIN standard. This increases the production costs.

Demgegenüber liegt der vorliegenden Erfindung die Aufgabe zugrunde, ein System mit einer Vorrichtung, die in einer beliebigen Höhe an einer Tür sowohl rechtsseitig als auch linksseitig anbringbar ist, zu schaffen.In contrast, the object of the present invention is to create a system with a device that can be attached to a door at any height, both on the right-hand side and on the left-hand side.

Diese Aufgabe wird durch das System gemäß Anspruch 1gelöst. Ausführungsformen der Erfindung sind in den abhängigen Ansprüchen angegeben.This object is solved by the system according to claim 1. Embodiments of the invention are given in the dependent claims.

Das System umfasst eine Tür, einen Türrahmen und eine Vorrichtung. Die Vorrichtung umfasst ein Blockiermittel und ein Betätigungsmittel. Das Blockiermittel ist an der Tür angebracht. Dies kann direkt oder indirekt erfolgen. Es kann beispielsweise ein anderes Bauteil der Vorrichtung an der Tür angebracht sein, sodass das Blockiermittel nicht direkt sondern indirekt an der Tür angebracht ist. In diesem Fall ist es möglich, dass zwischen der Tür und dem Blockiermittel ein Freiraum angeordnet ist. Das Blockiermittel kann zwischen einer Blockierposition und einer Freigabeposition bewegt werden. Die Bewegung wird durch eine Betätigung des Betätigungsmittels ausgelöst. In der Blockierposition blockiert das Blockiermittel das Schließen der Tür. In der Freigabeposition ist das Schließen der Tür möglich.The system includes a door, a door frame and a device. The device comprises a blocking means and an actuating means. The blocking means is attached to the door. This can be done directly or indirectly. For example, another component of the device can be attached to the door, so that the blocking means is not attached directly to the door but indirectly. In this case it is possible that a free space is arranged between the door and the blocking means. The blocking means can be moved between a blocking position and a release position. The movement is triggered by actuating the actuating means. In the blocking position, the blocking means blocks the closing of the door. The door can be closed in the release position.

Dadurch, dass das Blockiermittel an der Tür angebracht ist, kann die Vorrichtung in einer beliebigen Höhe angebracht werden. So ist es beispielsweise möglich, die Vorrichtung in einer Höhe anzubringen, sodass eine kleine erwachsene Person das Betätigungsmittel erreichen kann, wohingegen dies für ein Kind nicht möglich ist.Because the blocking means is mounted on the door, the device can be mounted at any height. For example, it is possible to mount the device at a height such that a small adult can reach the actuating means, whereas this is not possible for a child.

In der Blockierposition kann das Blockiermittel dazu ausgebildet sein, an einer Position am Türrahmen und/oder an einem an dem Türrahmen angeordneten Bauteil anzuschlagen. Dabei ist es egal, ob die Hauptschließkante des Türrahmens rechts oder links liegt. Somit kann die Vorrichtung für beide Varianten verwendet werden.In the blocking position, the blocking means can be designed to strike at a position on the door frame and/or on a component arranged on the door frame. It doesn't matter whether the main closing edge of the door frame is on the right or left. The device can thus be used for both variants.

Die Vorrichtung ist als Klemmschutz ausgebildet. Dies bedeutet, dass durch die Vorrichtung verhindert dass eine menschliche Hand, beispielsweise die eines Kindes, zwischen der Tür und dem Türrahmen eingeklemmt wird, was zu Verletzungen führen kann. Die Vorrichtung unterscheidet sich von bekannten Vorrichtungen dadurch, dass das Blockiermittel so an der Tür angeordnet ist, dass beim Zuschlagen der Tür ein ausreichend großer Spalt zwischen der Tür und dem Türrahmen verbleibt, damit eine menschliche Hand nicht verletzt wird, wenn das Blockiermittel in der Blockierposition ist.The device is designed as an anti-trap device. This means that the device prevents a human hand, for example that of a child, from being caught between the door and the door frame, which can lead to injury. The device differs from known devices in that the blocking means is arranged on the door in such a way that when the door is slammed shut there remains a sufficiently large gap between the door and the door frame so that a human hand is not injured when the blocking means is in the blocking position is.

Gemäß Anspruch 1 ist das Blockiermittel, insbesondere in der Blockierposition, um eine Schwenkachse schwenkbar. Wenn das Blockiermittel am Türrahmen anschlägt, weil es sich in der Blockierposition befindet und die Tür auf den Türrahmen zu bewegt wurde, sorgt die Schwenkbarkeit dafür, dass das Blockiermittel zunächst etwas verschwenkt wird und sich dann an der Tür abstützt. Auf diese Weise werden die auftretenden Kräfte über das Blockiermittel an die Tür weitergeleitet, ohne dass die Tür und/oder die Vorrichtung beschädigt wird.According to claim 1, the blocking means, in particular in the blocking position, can be pivoted about a pivot axis. If the blocking means strikes the door frame because it is in the blocking position and the door has been moved towards the door frame, the ability to pivot ensures that the blocking means is initially pivoted somewhat and is then supported on the door. In this way, the forces that occur are passed on to the door via the blocking means, without the door and/or the device being damaged.

Andernfalls würden diese Kräfte über den Befestigungspunkt der Vorrichtung an die Tür weitergeleitet, wodurch der Befestigungspunkt stark mechanisch beansprucht würde und nach einigen dieser Vorgänge aus der Tür heraus brechen würde.Otherwise, these forces would be transmitted to the door through the attachment point of the device, causing the attachment point to be highly mechanically stressed and causing it to break out of the door after some of these operations.

Durch die Schwenkbarkeit wird also gewährleistet, dass die Vorrichtung auch nach mehreren Blockiervorgängen zuverlässig an der Tür befestigt ist und nicht übermäßig mechanisch beansprucht wird.The ability to pivot thus ensures that the device is reliably fastened to the door even after several blocking processes and is not subjected to excessive mechanical stress.

Die Schwenkachse des Blockiermittels verläuft parallel zu einer Schwenkachse der Tür.The pivot axis of the blocking means runs parallel to a pivot axis of the door.

Das Betätigungsmittel ist an einer ersten Seite der Tür angeordnet. Die Vorrichtung umfasst noch ein weiteres Betätigungsmittel, das an einer der ersten Seite gegenüberliegenden zweiten Seite der Tür angeordnet ist. Beispielsweise kann die erste Seite die Bandseite, auch Öffnungsseite genannt, sein, während die zweite Seite die Gegenbandseite, auch Schließseite genannt, ist. Somit lässt sich von beiden Seiten aus eine Bewegung des Blockiermittels auslösen.The actuating means is arranged on a first side of the door. The device comprises yet another actuating means which is arranged on a second side of the door opposite the first side. For example, the first side can be the hinge side, also called the opening side, while the second side is the opposite hinge side, also called the closing side. A movement of the blocking means can thus be triggered from both sides.

Nach einer Ausführungsform der Erfindung kann die Vorrichtung ein erstes Rückstellmittel umfassen, das ein Rückstelldrehmoment auf das Blockiermittel ausübt. Auf diese Weise kann die Vorrichtung ohne Eingriff durch einen Benutzer immer wieder in der erfindungsgemäßen Weise weiterverwendet werden.According to one embodiment of the invention, the device can comprise a first return means which exerts a return torque on the blocking means. In this way, the device can continue to be used again and again in the manner according to the invention without intervention by a user.

Nach einer Ausführungsform der Erfindung kann das Rückstelldrehmoment im an der Tür angebrachten Zustand des Blockiermittels einer Schwenkbewegung des Blockiermittels in Richtung der Tür entgegen wirken. Falls also das Blockiermittel am Türrahmen anschlägt, wird das Blockiermittel entgegen dem Rückstelldrehmoment verschwenkt. Wenn keine Kräfte oder nur noch geringe Kräfte auf das Blockiermittel wirken, wird das Blockiermittel durch das Rückstelldrehmoment wieder in die Ausgangslage verschwenkt.According to one embodiment of the invention, the restoring torque can counteract a pivoting movement of the blocking means in the direction of the door when the blocking means is in the mounted state on the door. So if the blocking agent on Door frame strikes, the blocking means is pivoted against the restoring torque. If no forces or only small forces act on the blocking means, the blocking means is pivoted back into the starting position by the restoring torque.

Nach einer Ausführungsform der Erfindung kann das erste Rückstellmittel als Feder, insbesondere als Torsionsfeder, ausgebildet sein.According to one embodiment of the invention, the first restoring means can be designed as a spring, in particular as a torsion spring.

Nach einer Ausführungsform der Erfindung kann im an der Tür angebrachten Zustand des Blockiermittels ein Freiraum zwischen dem Blockiermittel und der Tür vorhanden sein. Dieser Freiraum ermöglicht eine Verschwenkung des Blockiermittels um die Schwenkachse, wenn das Blockiermittel am Türrahmen anschlägt. Im verschwenkten Zustand wird das Blockiermittel durch die Tür abgestützt und es werden Kräfte von dem Blockiermittel direkt an die Tür weitergeleitet, wodurch die Befestigung der Vorrichtung an der Tür geschont wird.According to an embodiment of the invention, when the blocking means is mounted on the door, there can be a free space between the blocking means and the door. This free space allows the blocking means to pivot about the pivot axis when the blocking means hits the door frame. In the pivoted state, the blocking means is supported by the door and forces are transmitted from the blocking means directly to the door, thereby protecting the attachment of the device to the door.

Nach einer Ausführungsform der Erfindung umfasst die Vorrichtung ein zweites Rückstellmittel, das dazu ausgebildet ist, auf das Blockiermittel eine Rückstellkraft auszuüben, wenn das Blockiermittel in der Freigabeposition ist. Die auf das Blockiermittel wirkende Rückstellkraft ist in Richtung der Blockierposition gerichtet.According to one embodiment of the invention, the device comprises a second restoring means which is designed to exert a restoring force on the blocking means when the blocking means is in the release position. The restoring force acting on the blocking means is directed in the direction of the blocking position.

Durch die Rückstellkraft wird sichergestellt, dass das Blockiermittel in der Blockierposition ist, wenn keine andere Kraft auf das Blockiermittel, beispielsweise ausgelöst durch eine Betätigung des Betätigungsmittels, ausgeübt wird. Sobald also die Tür geöffnet ist und das Betätigungsmittel nicht betätigt wird, wird das Blockiermittel automatisch in die Blockierposition bewegt. Die Schutzfunktion der Vorrichtung wird also automatisch beim Öffnen der Tür ausgelöst.The restoring force ensures that the blocking means is in the blocking position when no other force is exerted on the blocking means, for example triggered by an actuation of the actuating means. So as soon as the door is opened and the actuating means is not actuated, the blocking means automatically moved to the blocking position. The protective function of the device is therefore triggered automatically when the door is opened.

Wenn die Tür geschlossen ist, kann das Blockiermittel in der Freigabeposition durch den Türrahmen oder durch ein an dem Türrahmen angeordnetes Bauteil gehalten werden.When the door is closed, the blocking means can be held in the release position by the door frame or by a component arranged on the door frame.

Nach einer Ausführungsform der Erfindung kann das Blockiermittel dazu ausgebildet sein, das Schließen der Tür dadurch zu verhindern, dass es in der Blockierposition an einem Türrahmen oder an einem am Türrahmen angeordneten Bauteil anschlägt.According to one embodiment of the invention, the blocking means can be designed to prevent the door from closing by hitting a door frame or a component arranged on the door frame in the blocking position.

Nach einer Ausführungsform der Erfindung kann das Blockiermittel einen Vorsprung aufweisen. Dieser Vorsprung ist vorteilhaft, weil er verhindern kann, dass ein Kind seine Finger in den kleinen Spalt zwischen Türrahmen und Tür einführt, wenn die Tür nicht weit genug geöffnet ist, damit das Blockiermittel in die Blockierposition gelangen kann. Wenn die Tür also nur so weit geöffnet wird, dass der Vorsprung nicht mehr den Türrahmen berührt, wird das Blockiermittel durch das zweite Rückstellmittel etwas in Richtung der Blockierposition bewegt, sodass bereits in diesem Zustand ein Klemmen der Finger verhindert wird.According to one embodiment of the invention, the blocking means can have a projection. This protrusion is advantageous because it can prevent a child from inserting their fingers into the small gap between the door frame and the door when the door is not open far enough for the locking means to get into the locking position. If the door is only opened so far that the projection no longer touches the door frame, the blocking means is moved slightly in the direction of the blocking position by the second restoring means, so that fingers are prevented from being caught even in this state.

Nach einer Ausführungsform der Erfindung kann sich der Vorsprung in Richtung des Türrahmens erstrecken, wenn das Blockiermittel im an der Tür angebrachten Zustand bei geschlossener Tür in der Freigabeposition ist.According to an embodiment of the invention, the projection may extend towards the door frame when the blocking means is in the released position in the door-closed state when attached to the door.

Nach einer Ausführungsform der Erfindung kann der Vorsprung im an der Tür angebrachten Zustand an einem der Tür zugewandten Endbereich des Blockiermittels angeordnet sein.According to one embodiment of the invention, the projection can be arranged on an end region of the blocking means facing the door when it is attached to the door.

Nach einer Ausführungsform der Erfindung kann die Vorrichtung ein translatorisch bewegbares Mittel umfassen, das durch das Betätigungsmittel und durch das zweite Rückstellmittel translatorisch bewegbar ist. Das Blockiermittel kann an dem bewegbaren Mittel befestigt sein. Das Blockiermittel kann also zusammen mit dem bewegbaren Mittel bewegt werden. Das translatorisch bewegbare Mittel kann beispielsweise ein Schieber oder ein Linearschlitten sein.According to an embodiment of the invention, the device can comprise a translationally movable means, which is translationally movable by the actuating means and by the second return means. The blocking means can be attached to the movable means. The blocking means can thus be moved together with the movable means. The translationally movable means can be a slide or a linear slide, for example.

Nach einer Ausführungsform der Erfindung kann das Betätigungsmittel drehbar sein. Bei einer Drehung des Betätigungsmittels kann das bewegbare Mittel translatorisch bewegt werden. Hierfür kann die Vorrichtung beispielsweise ein Kopplungsmittel umfassen, das die Drehbewegung des Betätigungsmittels in die translatorische Bewegung des bewegbaren Mittels umsetzt.According to an embodiment of the invention, the actuating means can be rotatable. With a rotation of the actuating means, the movable means can be moved translationally. For this purpose, the device can comprise a coupling means, for example, which converts the rotational movement of the actuating means into the translatory movement of the movable means.

Nach einer Ausführungsform der Erfindung kann das Betätigungsmittel einen in einem Langloch geführten Exzenter aufweisen. Der Exzenter ist dazu ausgebildet, eine Drehbewegung des Betätigungsmittels in eine lineare Bewegung des bewegbaren Mittels umzusetzen.According to one embodiment of the invention, the actuating means can have an eccentric guided in a slot. The eccentric is designed to convert a rotational movement of the actuating means into a linear movement of the movable means.

Nach einer Ausführungsform der Erfindung kann die Vorrichtung zumindest einen ersten Anschlag umfassen, der einen Drehbereich des Betätigungsmittels in einer ersten Drehrichtung einschränkt.According to one embodiment of the invention, the device can comprise at least one first stop, which limits a range of rotation of the actuating means in a first direction of rotation.

Nach einer Ausführungsform der Erfindung kann die Vorrichtung einen zweiten Anschlag umfassen, der den Drehbereich des Betätigungsmittels in einer zweiten Drehrichtung einschränkt, die der ersten Drehrichtung entgegengesetzt ist.According to an embodiment of the invention, the device may comprise a second stop limiting the range of rotation of the actuating means in a second direction of rotation opposite to the first direction of rotation.

Es ist auch möglich, dass die Vorrichtung einen oder zwei Anschläge für das bewegbare Mittel aufweist, die dazu ausgebildet sind, den Bewegungsbereich des bewegbaren Mittels einzuschränken.It is also possible for the device to have one or two stops for the movable means, designed to limit the range of movement of the movable means.

Durch die Einschränkung des Drehbereichs kann die translatorische Bewegung des bewegbaren Mittels eingeschränkt werden, sodass es nicht zu weit bewegt wird. Wenn das Blockiermittel zu weit hervorsteht, können unerwünscht große Hebelkräfte auftreten, wenn das Blockiermittel am Türrahmen oder an dem am Türrahmen angeordneten Bauteil anschlägt.By limiting the range of rotation, the translational movement of the movable means can be limited so that it is not moved too far. If the blocking means protrudes too far, undesirably large leverage forces can occur when the blocking means hits the door frame or the component arranged on the door frame.

Nach einer Ausführungsform der Erfindung kann die Vorrichtung ein erstes Abstandsmittel zur Befestigung an der Tür umfassen. Das erste Abstandsmittel kann elastisch ausgebildet oder mit einem Dämpfungsmechanismus versehen sein. Durch die elastische Befestigung bzw. den Dämpfungsmechanismus können Kräfte abgefedert bzw. abgedämpft werden, die auftreten, wenn das Blockiermittel am Türrahmen oder an dem am Türrahmen angeordneten Bauteil anschlägt.According to an embodiment of the invention, the device may comprise a first spacer means for attachment to the door. The first spacer can be elastic or provided with a damping mechanism. The elastic fastening or the damping mechanism can cushion or dampen forces that occur when the blocking means strikes the door frame or the component arranged on the door frame.

Nach einer Ausführungsform der Erfindung kann das Blockiermittel ein Gleitmittel, zum Beispiel eine Rolle, umfassen, das dazu ausgebildet ist, bei einer Öffnung der Tür entlang eines Türrahmens zu gleiten. Dies ist insbesondere vorteilhaft, um den Türrahmen zu schonen. Wenn die Tür geschlossen ist, drückt die Rückstellkraft das Blockiermittel in Richtung des Türrahmens. Bei einer Öffnung der Tür werden durch das Gleiten des Gleitmittels Beschädigungen vermieden.According to an embodiment of the invention, the blocking means may comprise a sliding means, for example a roller, adapted to slide along a door frame when the door is opened. This is particularly advantageous for protecting the door frame. When the door is closed, the restoring force pushes the blocking means towards the door frame. When the door is opened, damage is avoided by the sliding of the lubricant.

Falls als Gleitmittel eine Rolle verwendet wird, kann diese bei einer Öffnung der Tür entlang des Türrahmens abrollen. Hierdurch werden Beschädigungen vermieden.If a roller is used as a lubricant, it can roll along the door frame when the door is opened. This avoids damage.

Nach einer Ausführungsform der Erfindung kann die Rolle an einem Schenkel angeordnet sein, der sich in einer Richtung erstreckt, die nicht parallel zur Bewegungsrichtung des bewegbaren Mittels ist. Außerdem kann der Schenkel federnd ausgebildet oder mit einem Dämpfungssystem versehen sein. Durch diese Ausgestaltung des Schenkels können Kräfte abgefedert bzw. abgedämpft werden, die auftreten, wenn das Blockiermittel am Türrahmen oder an dem am Türrahmen angeordneten Bauteil anschlägt.According to an embodiment of the invention, the roller can be arranged on a leg which extends in a direction which is not parallel to the direction of movement of the movable means. In addition, the leg can be designed to be resilient or provided with a damping system. This configuration of the leg allows forces to be cushioned or dampened which occur when the blocking means strikes the door frame or the component arranged on the door frame.

Nach einer Ausführungsform der Erfindung kann die Vorrichtung ein zweites Abstandsmittel umfassen. Das zweite Abstandsmittel kann am Türrahmen anordbar sein, sodass das Blockiermittel in der Blockierposition beim Schließen der Tür an dem zweiten Abstandsmittel anschlägt. Durch Verwendung des zweiten Abstandsmittels kann der Spalt zwischen Tür und Türrahmen vergrößert werden, sodass die Klemmgefahr verringert wird.According to an embodiment of the invention, the device can comprise a second spacer means. The second spacer can be arranged on the door frame, so that the blocking means strikes the second spacer in the blocking position when the door is closed. By using the second spacer, the gap between the door and the door frame can be enlarged, so that the risk of pinching is reduced.

Nach einer Ausführungsform der Erfindung kann das zweite Abstandsmittel zumindest teilweise elastisch ausgebildet oder mit einem Dämpfungselement versehen sein. Beispielsweise kann das zweite Abstandsmittel aus zwei Bauteilen bestehen, wovon nur eins elastisch ausgebildet bzw. mit einem Dämpfungselement versehen ist. Dadurch können Kräfte abgefedert bzw. abgedämpft werden, die auftreten, wenn das Blockiermittel am Türrahmen oder an dem am Türrahmen angeordneten Bauteil anschlägt.According to one embodiment of the invention, the second spacer can be at least partially elastic or provided with a damping element. For example, the second spacer can consist of two components, only one of which is designed to be elastic or is provided with a damping element. As a result, forces can be cushioned or dampened which occur when the blocking means strikes the door frame or the component arranged on the door frame.

Nach einer Ausführungsform der Erfindung kann die Vorrichtung ein Rastmittel umfassen. Das Blockiermittel kann in der Blockierposition beim Anschlag am Türrahmen oder am zweiten Abstandsmittel an dem Rastmittel einrasten. Das Rastmittel kann beispielsweise als mechanische Falle ausgebildet sein. Das Rastmittel verhindert ein unerwünschtes Zurückfedern der Tür nach einem Anschlagen des Blockiermittels am Türrahmen oder am zweiten AbstandsmittelAccording to one embodiment of the invention, the device can comprise a latching means. In the blocking position, the blocking means can snap into place on the latching means when it hits the door frame or the second spacer means. The latching means can be designed as a mechanical latch, for example. The locking means prevents a undesired springing back of the door after the blocking means strikes the door frame or the second spacer means

Nach einer Ausführungsform der Erfindung kann das Blockiermittel an einer Gegenbandseite der Tür angeordnet sein.According to one embodiment of the invention, the blocking means can be arranged on an opposite hinge side of the door.

Nach einer Ausführungsform der Erfindung kann die Tür eine Ausnehmung aufweisen. Die Vorrichtung kann teilweise in der Ausnehmung angeordnet sein. Zumindest das Blockiermittel ragt in der Blockierposition aus der Ausnehmung heraus.According to one embodiment of the invention, the door can have a recess. The device can be partially arranged in the recess. At least the blocking means projects out of the recess in the blocking position.

Nach einer Ausführungsform der Erfindung kann das System einen Türrahmen umfassen. An dem Türrahmen kann ein Haltemittel angeordnet sein, das das Blockiermittel bei geschlossener Tür in der Freigabeposition hält. Dies ist insbesondere vorteilhaft bei bündig schließenden Türen.According to an embodiment of the invention, the system may include a door frame. A holding means can be arranged on the door frame, which holds the blocking means in the release position when the door is closed. This is particularly advantageous for flush-closing doors.

Die Vorrichtung 100 umfasst ein Betätigungsmittel (in Figuren 1A und 1B nicht dargestellt) und ein Blockiermittel 102. Durch eine Drehung des Betätigungsmittels kann das Blockiermittel 102 zwischen einer in Figur 1A gezeigten Freigabeposition und einer in Figur 1B gezeigten Blockierposition bewegt werden. In der Blockierposition ist die Distanz zwischen dem Blockiermittel 102 und dem Betätigungsmittel größer als in der Freigabeposition. In der Blockierposition verhindert das Blockiermittel 102 das Schließen einer Tür, indem es am Türrahmen oder an einem am Türrahmen angeordneten Bauteil anschlägt. In der Freigabeposition wird ein Schließen der Tür ermöglicht.The device 100 comprises an actuating means (in Figures 1A and 1B not shown) and a blocking means 102. By rotating the actuating means, the blocking means 102 can be switched between an in Figure 1A shown release position and an in Figure 1B shown blocking position are moved. In the blocking position, the distance between the blocking means 102 and the actuating means is greater than in the release position. In the blocking position, the blocking means 102 prevents a door from being closed by hitting the door frame or a component arranged on the door frame. In the release position, the door can be closed.

Außerdem umfasst die Vorrichtung 100 einen in einem Langloch 104 geführten Exzenter 103, der mit dem Betätigungsmittel verbunden ist. Durch diese Mechanik wird die Drehbewegung des Betätigungsmittels in eine translatorische Bewegung eines translatorische bewegbaren Mittels 105 umgesetzt. An dem bewegbaren Mittel 105 ist das Blockiermittel 102 angeordnet. Die Drehbewegung des Betätigungsmittels wird durch zwei Anschläge 106 begrenzt.In addition, the device 100 includes a guided in a slot 104 eccentric 103, which is connected to the actuating means. This mechanism converts the rotational movement of the actuating means into a translatory movement of a translatory movable Implemented using 105. The blocking means 102 is arranged on the movable means 105 . The rotational movement of the actuating means is limited by two stops 106.

Das bewegbare Mittel 105 ist mit Rückstellmitteln 107 verbunden, die eine Rückstellkraft über das bewegbare Mittel 105 auf das Blockiermittel 102 ausüben, wenn sich das Blockiermittel 102 in der Freigabeposition befindet. Die Rückstellmittel 107 können beispielsweise Gasdruckfedern sein. Die Rückstellkraft ist dabei in Richtung der Blockierposition gerichtet, sodass das Blockiermittel 102 automatisch in die Blockierposition bewegt wird, wenn das Betätigungsmittel nicht betätigt wird und die Tür geöffnet ist. Dieser Mechanismus stellt sicher, dass die Vorrichtung zuverlässig ein Schließen der Tür verhindert.The movable means 105 is connected to restoring means 107 which exert a restoring force on the blocking means 102 via the movable means 105 when the blocking means 102 is in the release position. The restoring means 107 can be gas pressure springs, for example. The restoring force is directed in the direction of the blocking position, so that the blocking means 102 is automatically moved into the blocking position when the actuating means is not actuated and the door is open. This mechanism ensures that the device reliably prevents the door from closing.

In Figur 2 ist dargestellt, dass das bewegbare Mittel 105 einen Schenkel 200 aufweist, an dem das Blockiermittel 102 angeordnet ist. Der Schenkel 200 ist federnd ausgebildet oder mit einem Dämpfungssystem versehen, sodass Kräfte abgefedert bzw. abgedämpft werden, die auftreten, wenn das Blockiermittel 102 an einem Türrahmen oder an einem an dem Türrahmen angeordneten Bauteil anschlägt.In figure 2 it is shown that the movable means 105 has a leg 200 on which the blocking means 102 is arranged. Leg 200 is designed to be resilient or is provided with a damping system so that forces are cushioned or dampened that occur when blocking means 102 strikes a door frame or a component arranged on the door frame.

Das Blockiermittel 102 ist als Rolle ausgebildet, die dazu ausgebildet ist, am Türrahmen entlang zu rollen, wenn die Tür geöffnet wird. Bei geschlossener Tür drückt die Rückstellkraft der Rückstellmittel 107 das Blockiermittel 102 gegen den Türrahmen. Dadurch, dass die Rolle am Türrahmen abrollt, wird eine Beschädigung des Türrahmens verhindert.The blocking means 102 is designed as a roller which is designed to roll along the door frame when the door is opened. When the door is closed, the restoring force of the restoring means 107 presses the blocking means 102 against the door frame. Because the roller rolls off the door frame, damage to the door frame is prevented.

Die in Figur 3B dargestellte Vorrichtung 300 weist ein alternatives Blockiermittel mit einem stabilisierenden Element 301 und einem elastischen bzw. dämpfenden Element 302 auf. Das elastische bzw. dämpfende Element 302 ist mit dem stabilisierenden Element 301 verbunden. Das elastische Element 302 federt bzw. dämpft Kräfte ab, wenn es an einem Türrahmen oder an ein an dem Türrahmen angeordneten Bauteil anschlägt.In the Figure 3B Device 300 shown has an alternative blocking means with a stabilizing element 301 and a elastic or damping element 302 on. The elastic or damping element 302 is connected to the stabilizing element 301 . The elastic element 302 cushions or dampens forces when it hits a door frame or a component arranged on the door frame.

Bei der in Figur 3C dargestellten Vorrichtung 303 ist das Blockiermittel als elastisches bzw. dämpfendes Element 304 ausgebildet.At the in Figure 3C Device 303 shown, the blocking means is designed as an elastic or damping element 304.

In Figur 4 ist das Betätigungsmittel 400 dargestellt, das durch eine Ausnehmung 402 einer Abdeckung 401 mit der Mechanik der Vorrichtung verbunden wird, sodass eine Drehung des Betätigungsmittels 400 in eine translatorische Bewegung des bewegbaren Mittels 105 umgesetzt wird.In figure 4 the actuating means 400 is shown, which is connected to the mechanism of the device by a recess 402 of a cover 401, so that a rotation of the actuating means 400 is converted into a translational movement of the movable means 105.

Die Vorrichtung 100 umfasst außerdem ein erstes Abstandsmittel 403 mit einer Ausnehmung 404, mit der die Vorrichtung an einer Tür befestigt werden kann. Das erste Abstandsmittel 403 kann elastisch ausgebildet bzw. mit einem Dämpfungselement versehen sein, sodass auftretende Kräfte abgefedert bzw. abgedämpft werden. Durch die Ausnehmung 404 kann die Mechanik der Vorrichtung 100 mit einem weiteren Betätigungsmittel auf der anderen Seite der Tür verbunden werden, sodass eine Betätigung von beiden Seiten der Tür möglich ist.The device 100 also comprises a first spacer means 403 with a recess 404 with which the device can be fixed to a door. The first spacer 403 can be designed to be elastic or be provided with a damping element, so that forces that occur are cushioned or dampened. The mechanism of the device 100 can be connected to a further actuating means on the other side of the door through the recess 404, so that actuation from both sides of the door is possible.

Außerdem ist in Figur 4 ein Bolzen 405 dargestellt, um den der Schenkel 200 schwenkbar ist. Bei einer Krafteinwirkung auf den Schenkel 200 kann dieser etwas nachgeben und um den Bolzen 405 schwenken.In addition, figure 4 a bolt 405 is shown about which the leg 200 is pivotable. If a force is applied to the leg 200, it can yield slightly and pivot about the bolt 405.

In den Figuren 6A und 6B ist dargestellt, dass die Vorrichtung 100 von beiden Seiten der Tür 600 aus unter Verwendung der Betätigungsmittel 400 betätigt werden kann. Das Blockiermittel 102 ist in der Blockierposition und schlägt am Türrahmen 601 an, wodurch ein Schließen der Tür 600 verhindert wird.In the Figures 6A and 6B it is shown that the device 100 can be operated from either side of the door 600 using the operating means 400 . The blocking means 102 is in the blocking position and hits the door frame 601, preventing the door 600 from closing.

Die Figuren 7A und 7B unterscheiden sich von den Darstellungen in den Figuren 6A und 6B insbesondere dadurch, dass am Türrahmen 601 ein zweites Abstandsmittel 700 angeordnet ist. Wenn das Blockiermittel 102 in der Blockierposition ist, schlägt es am zweiten Abstandsmittel 700 an. Dadurch wird der Türrahmen 601 geschont. Außerdem wird der Spalt zwischen der Tür 600 und dem Türrahmen 601 vergrößert, sodass die Klemmgefahr verringert wird.the Figures 7A and 7B differ from what is shown in the Figures 6A and 6B in particular in that a second spacer 700 is arranged on the door frame 601 . When the blocking means 102 is in the blocking position, it hits the second spacer means 700 . As a result, the door frame 601 is protected. In addition, the gap between the door 600 and the door frame 601 is increased, so that the risk of pinching is reduced.

In Figur 8A ist die Vorrichtung aus den Figuren 7A und 7B in einer Schnittansicht von oben dargestellt. In Figur 8B ist an dem zweiten Abstandsmittel 700 ein elastisches bzw. dämpfendes Element 800 so angeordnet, dass das Blockiermittel 102 an dem elastischen bzw. dämpfenden Element 800 anschlägt, wodurch auftretende Kräfte abgefedert bzw. abgedämpft werden.In Figure 8A is the device from the Figures 7A and 7B shown in a sectional view from above. In Figure 8B an elastic or damping element 800 is arranged on the second spacer means 700 in such a way that the blocking means 102 strikes the elastic or damping element 800, as a result of which occurring forces are cushioned or damped.

In Figur 8C weist die Vorrichtung 100 ein am Rahmen 601 angeordnetes Rastmittel 801 auf. Wenn sich das Blockiermittel 102 in der Blockierposition befindet und die Tür geschlossen wird, rastet das Blockiermittel 102 in dem Rastmittel 801 ein, sodass ein Zurückfedern der Tür aufgrund des Anschlags des Blockiermittels 102 verhindert wird.In Figure 8C the device 100 has a latching means 801 arranged on the frame 601. If the blocking means 102 is in the blocking position and the door is closed, the blocking means 102 engages in the latching means 801 so that the door is prevented from springing back due to the impact of the blocking means 102 .

In Figur 9 ist eine Tür 900 dargestellt, die bündig mit dem Türrahmen 901 schließt. Bei einer solchen Tür kann die Vorrichtung 100 ein Haltemittel 902 umfassen, das das Blockiermittel 102 in der Freigabeposition hält, wenn die Tür 900 geschlossen ist. Dadurch wird das Öffnen der Tür 900 erleichtert, da das Betätigungsmittel 400 nicht betätigt werden muss, um das Blockiermittel 102 in die Freigabeposition zu bewegen.In figure 9 a door 900 is shown closing flush with the door frame 901 . With such a door, the device 100 may comprise a holding means 902 which holds the blocking means 102 in the release position when the door 900 is closed. Thereby the opening of the door 900 is facilitated since the actuating means 400 does not have to be actuated in order to move the blocking means 102 into the release position.

In den Figuren 10 bis 13 ist eine weitere Ausführungsform der Erfindung dargestellt. Die Vorrichtung 1000 umfasst ein Blockiermittel 1001 und zwei Rückstellmittel 107. An dem Blockiermittel 1001 ist ein Vorsprung 1002 angeordnet. Das Blockiermittel 1001 lässt sich ähnlich wie bei den weiter oben beschriebenen Vorrichtungen 100 und 300 translatorisch bewegen und soll als Klemmschutz dazu dienen, das Schließen einer Tür zu verhindern.In the Figures 10 to 13 another embodiment of the invention is shown. The device 1000 comprises a blocking means 1001 and two restoring means 107. A projection 1002 is arranged on the blocking means 1001. The blocking means 1001 can be moved in a translatory manner similar to the devices 100 and 300 described above and is intended to serve as an anti-jamming device to prevent a door from closing.

Der Vorsprung 1002 ist an einem der Tür zugewandten Endbereich des Blockiermittels 1001 angeordnet und erstreckt sich in Richtung des Türrahmens, wenn das Blockiermittel 1001 in der Freigabeposition ist und die Tür geschlossen ist. Der Vorsprung 1002 ist etwas schmaler als der übrige Bereich des Blockiermittels 1001. Daher kann der Vorsprung 1002 dazu genutzt werden, das Schließen der Tür bereits zu verhindern, wenn die Tür nur einen relativ kleinen Spalt geöffnet ist.The projection 1002 is arranged on an end portion of the blocking means 1001 facing the door and extends towards the door frame when the blocking means 1001 is in the release position and the door is closed. The projection 1002 is somewhat narrower than the remaining area of the blocking means 1001. The projection 1002 can therefore be used to already prevent the door from closing when the door is only open a relatively small gap.

In Figur 11A ist die Vorrichtung 1000 in der Freigabeposition dargestellt. Wenn die Vorrichtung 1000 in dieser Position an einer Tür angebracht ist, kann die Tür problemlos geöffnet und geschlossen werden. Figur 11B zeigt dieselbe Vorrichtung 1000 in der Blockierposition, sodass das Schließen der Tür verhindert wird, da das Blockiermittel 1001 am Türrahmen anschlägt, wenn sich die Tür auf den Türrahmen zu bewegt. Figur 11C unterscheidet sich von Figur 11B dadurch, dass das Blockiermittel 1001 um eine Schwenkachse 1200 verschwenkt wurde, was weiter unten ausführlicher erklärt wird. Die Anordnung des Blockiermittels 1001 aus Figur 11B entspricht dabei der Anordnung aus den Figuren 12A und 13A. Die Anordnung des Blockiermittels aus Figur 11C entspricht der Anordnung aus den Figuren 12B und 13B.In Figure 11A the device 1000 is shown in the release position. When the device 1000 is attached to a door in this position, the door can be opened and closed with ease. Figure 11B Figure 10 shows the same device 1000 in the blocking position, preventing the door from closing because the blocking means 1001 hits the door frame when the door moves towards the door frame. Figure 11C differs from Figure 11B in that the blocking means 1001 has been pivoted about a pivot axis 1200, which will be explained in more detail below. The arrangement of the blocking means 1001 from Figure 11B corresponds to the arrangement from the Figures 12A and 13A . The order of the blocking agent Figure 11C corresponds to the arrangement from the Figures 12B and 13B .

In den Figuren 12A und 12B ist die Schwenkachse 1200 der Vorrichtung 1000 dargestellt, um die das Blockiermittel 1001 schwenkbar ist. Im an der Tür angebrachten Zustand verläuft die Schwenkachse 1200 parallel zur Schwenkachse der Tür. Das Blockiermittel 1001 ist in eine Richtung schwenkbar, in der im an der Tür angebrachten Zustand die Tür ist. Daher wird das Blockiermittel 1001 in Richtung der Tür geschwenkt, wenn es gegen den Türrahmen schlägt. Auf diese Weise wird die Vorrichtung 1000 im Bereich des Blockiermittels 1001 an der Tür abgestützt, sodass die auftretenden Kräfte direkt vom Blockiermittel 1001 an die Tür übertragen werden. Dadurch wird verhindert, dass die gesamten auftretenden Kräfte über die feste Verbindung zwischen der Vorrichtung 1000 und der Tür übertragen werden, wodurch diese Verbindung hohen Belastungen ausgesetzt wäre, sodass nach einer gewissen Anzahl von Blockiervorgängen die Vorrichtung von der Tür abbrechen würde.In the Figures 12A and 12B the pivot axis 1200 of the device 1000 is shown, about which the blocking means 1001 can be pivoted. When mounted on the door, the pivot axis 1200 is parallel to the pivot axis of the door. The blocking means 1001 is pivotable in a direction in which the door is in the state in which it is attached to the door. Therefore, the blocking means 1001 is pivoted toward the door when it hits the door frame. In this way, the device 1000 is supported on the door in the area of the blocking means 1001, so that the forces that occur are transmitted directly from the blocking means 1001 to the door. This prevents the entire forces that occur from being transmitted via the fixed connection between the device 1000 and the door, as a result of which this connection would be subjected to high loads, so that after a certain number of blocking processes the device would break off from the door.

Außerdem umfasst die Vorrichtung ein Rückstellmittel 1201, das ein Drehmoment auf das Blockiermittel 1001 ausübt. Dieses Drehmoment wirkt einer Auslenkung des Blockiermittels 1001 um die Schwenkachse 1200 in Richtung der Tür im an der Tür angebrachten Zustand entgegen. Nach einem Blockiervorgang befindet sich das Blockiermittel 1001 in einer ähnlichen Position wie in Fig. 12B gezeigt. Das Drehmoment sorgt dafür, dass das Blockiermittel 1001 nach dem Blockiervorgang wieder in die in Fig. 12A dargestellte Position bewegt wird. Das Rückstellmittel 1201 kann beispielsweise eine Torsionsfeder sein.In addition, the device includes a restoring means 1201 which exerts a torque on the blocking means 1001 . This torque counteracts a deflection of the blocking means 1001 about the pivot axis 1200 in the direction of the door when it is attached to the door. After a blocking process, the blocking means 1001 is in a position similar to that in Figure 12B shown. The torque ensures that the locking device 1001 returns to the in 12A shown position is moved. The restoring means 1201 can be a torsion spring, for example.

In den Figuren 13A und 13B ist der Schwenkvorgang des Blockiermittels 1001 um die Schwenkachse 1200 ebenfalls gut zu erkennen. Figur 13A ist dabei eine Schnittansicht entlang der Schnittlinie A-A aus Fig. 11B. Figur 13B ist eine Schnittansicht entlang der Linie B-B aus Fig. 11C.In the Figures 13A and 13B the pivoting process of the blocking means 1001 about the pivot axis 1200 is also good recognize. Figure 13A FIG. 12 is a sectional view along line AA Figure 11B . Figure 13B Fig. 13 is a sectional view taken along line BB Figure 11C .
