  • the invention relates to a sectional door with a curtain made of several transverse, hingedly connected door sections that can be moved upwards by means of guide rollers along two lateral guideways, and with an escape door, which also consists of several sections, which are used to open the curtain with can be connected and locked to the adjacent door sections and can be unlocked and detached from them at least on one side in order to open the escape door.
  • the EP 1 250 509 B1 discloses a sectional door according to the preamble of claim 1. So far, the connection and locking as well as the unlocking and releasing of an escape door has been carried out manually or at least by a manual trigger. However, this makes the mechanism susceptible to faults, because inexperienced persons who do not know how the escape door locking or unlocking function, for example visitors or the like, can possibly damage the mechanism by mistakenly doing the wrong thing.
  • the two guide rails for the rollers of the Torpanuzer are bent toward one another in the region of their lower end, so that the distance between the two guide rails decreases continuously downwards.
  • this area of decreasing distance can be at a height smaller than the bottom door section so that only the very bottom rollers and/or guide rollers can get into that area.
  • a control mechanism senses this from the increasing horizontal distance between the two guide rails of the gate curtain during the lifting movement.
  • the running or guide roller which is pressed outwards by a spring element, simultaneously moves a push rod in an approximately horizontal direction within the relevant section of the door curtain. This push rod extends to just before the opening of the escape door, where the actual locking mechanism is located, and converts it into the locking state.
  • the movably mounted roller or guide roller is pressed inwards when the door curtain is lowered and as a result the push rod is pulled outwards in order to release the locking mechanism and release the escape door.
  • At least one lateral control and/or guide roller is arranged to be displaceable or pivotable within the plane of the relevant section of the tank in a horizontal or predominantly horizontal direction relative to the tank.
  • the bearing for this control and/or guide roller is itself adjustable, specifically in the plane of the door curtain, either only in a horizontal direction or at least with a horizontal one movement component.
  • the control and/or guide roller can always follow the course of a lateral guideway.
  • At least one movably mounted guide roller is located on that side of the door curtain which faces the lock side of the escape door, but whose hinge side faces away.
  • the control and/or guide roller can have a direct, controlling effect on a locking device arranged on the lock side of the escape door via a coupling mechanism.
  • control and/or guide roller which is arranged to be displaceable or pivotable in the horizontal direction relative to the tank, to be pressed outwards by at least one spring element, against the guideway. This ensures that the control and/or guide roller is always in direct contact with the relevant guide track and can therefore feel its lateral distance from the door curtain at any time. This enables precise control of the locking mechanism between the door curtain and the escape door, depending on the height of the door curtain.
  • the movably mounted control and/or guide roller should be mounted for rotation about an axis directed perpendicularly to the section of the tank in question. As a result, it is able to roll along a lateral guide rail with its outer surface and can, if necessary, be pushed inwards by a section of this guide rail that is striving inwards, i.e. in a horizontal direction towards the escape door.
  • the invention can be further developed in such a way that the horizontal movement of the guide roller is transmitted by a coupling rod to a mechanism for locking and unlocking the escape door.
  • a rod can transmit certain movements from one end of the rod to the other end of the rod with the same angle and/or length and thereby the movement a control or guide roller or a movement derived from it in the area of one rod end is transferred without distortion to the opposite rod end.
  • a preferred embodiment is characterized in that the horizontal movement of the guide roller is transmitted as a displacement of the push or coupling rod in its longitudinal direction to the mechanism for locking and unlocking the escape door.
  • Such rectilinear or predominantly rectilinear movements in the direction of the longitudinal axis of the rod can be carried out and transmitted by a rod without major deformations, while movements perpendicular to its longitudinal axis result in deflection rather than being transmitted along the rod.
  • a rod can also transfer rotations about its longitudinal axis more easily than, for example, a bending transverse to the longitudinal axis of the rod.
  • the movement of the connecting rod is converted into a horizontal movement of an element of the mechanism for locking and unlocking the escape door, preferably into a horizontal movement within the plane of the relevant section of the tank.
  • Such a movement is compatible in terms of movement with the actual locking mechanism between the escape door and the gate curtain.
  • a movable locking element arranged on the armored side In the locked state, a movable locking element arranged on the armored side must come into contact with a counterpart in or on the escape door and form a form fit there in some way in order to prevent the escape door from moving in its opening direction, while in the unlocked state the relevant locking element of has to get free from his counterpart at the escape door and also from the potential range of movement of the escape door must be moved out to allow the opening movement of the escape door.
  • the locking element in question performs an adjustment movement with a horizontal movement component within the plane of the door curtain, and such an adjustment movement of the locking element in question follows the movement of the (actuating) element of the locking and unlocking mechanism coupled to the push or coupling rod the escape door.
  • the horizontal movement of the control or guide roller is converted via the coupling rod into an opposite horizontal movement of an element of the mechanism for locking and unlocking the escape door, preferably in an opposite horizontal movement within the plane of the relevant section of the tanks.
  • the reversal of the direction of movement is particularly relevant when using push rods, since the control or guide roller is pushed inwards by the lower end of the guideway, i.e. towards the escape door, but at the same time the escape door should be unlocked in order to open when the curtain wall is closed to be able to.
  • unlocking generally requires that a hookable element arranged in the door curtain near the escape door should be pulled outwards, ie out of the area of the escape door where such a hookable element could hook in order to release that escape door.
  • An element of the mechanism for locking and unlocking the escape door which absorbs the movement of the push or coupling rod, is preferably movably guided or mounted in its permitted direction of movement, in particular by a guide device using rollers or by a rotary bearing using rolling elements.
  • the push or coupling rod at both of its ends is limited in terms of movement by the guide and/or bearing and is thus on top of one another coordinated shifts and/or twists, so that jamming - but also bending or torsion - is excluded.
  • the mechanism for locking and unlocking the escape door can comprise one or more hook-shaped elements with a hook for gripping a rod or bar-shaped element on the escape door on one side and/or one or more elements with a slot for gripping a rod or bar-shaped element on both sides the escape door.
  • a gripping on one or both sides predetermines the position of the gripped element and thus also the corresponding position of the entire escape door.
  • a further preferred design specification states that the longitudinal direction of the bar or bar-shaped elements on the escape door runs within or parallel to the plane of the relevant section of the tank, preferably in the direction of movement of the relevant section of the tank. In this direction, on the one hand, there is sufficient space for longer rod-shaped elements; on the other hand, this direction is perpendicular to the sliding direction of a push or coupling rod, so that a locking movement can be derived from such a displacement with little design effort.
  • holding forces can also be exerted in a direction perpendicular to the plane of the tank be taken up or applied in order to prevent the escape door from opening, with the lock side moving perpendicularly to the tank plane at first.
  • several hook-shaped elements can be lined up one behind the other in the longitudinal direction of such bearing pins, which are then oriented in the vertical direction, in order to multiply the maximum holding forces accordingly.

Description

Die Erfindung richtet sich auf ein Sektionaltor mit einem Panzer aus mehreren, quer verlaufenden, gelenkig miteinander verbundenen und mittels Führungsrollen entlang von zwei seitlichen Führungsbahnen nach oben fahrbaren Torsektionen, sowie mit einer Fluchttür, die ebenfalls aus mehreren Sektionen besteht, welche zum Öffnen des Panzers mit den angrenzenden Torsektionen verbindbar und verriegelbar sind und zum Öffnen der Fluchttür von jenen zumindest einseitig entriegelbar und lösbar sind.The invention relates to a sectional door with a curtain made of several transverse, hingedly connected door sections that can be moved upwards by means of guide rollers along two lateral guideways, and with an escape door, which also consists of several sections, which are used to open the curtain with can be connected and locked to the adjacent door sections and can be unlocked and detached from them at least on one side in order to open the escape door.

Die EP 1 250 509 B1 offenbart ein Sektionaltor nach dem Oberbegriff des Anspruchs 1. Bislang erfolgt das Verbinden und Verriegeln sowie das Entriegeln und Lösen einer Fluchttür manuell oder zumindest durch eine manuelle Auslösung. Dies macht die Mechanik jedoch störanfällig, weil ungeübte Personen ohne Kenntnis der Wirkungsweise der Fluchttürver- bzw. -entriegelung, beispielsweise Besucher od. dgl., möglicherweise durch irrtümlicherweise falsche Handgriffe zu Beschädigungen der Mechanik führen können.the EP 1 250 509 B1 discloses a sectional door according to the preamble of claim 1. So far, the connection and locking as well as the unlocking and releasing of an escape door has been carried out manually or at least by a manual trigger. However, this makes the mechanism susceptible to faults, because inexperienced persons who do not know how the escape door locking or unlocking function, for example visitors or the like, can possibly damage the mechanism by mistakenly doing the wrong thing.

Aus den Nachteilen des beschriebenen Standes der Technik resultiert das die Erfindung initiierende Problem, ein gattungsgemäßes Sektionaltor derart weiterzubilden, dass die Ver- und Entriegelung der Fluchttüre möglichst automatisch erfolgt, d.h. ohne eine notwendige Interaktion einer Person.The disadvantages of the prior art described result in the problem that initiated the invention of further developing a generic sectional door in such a way that the locking and unlocking of the escape door takes place as automatically as possible, i.e. without the necessary interaction of a person.

Die Lösung dieses Problems gelingt bei einem gattungsgemäßen Sektionaltor dadurch, dass die Verriegelung und Entriegelung der Fluchttür mit dem beidseitig angrenzenden Panzer selbsttätig erfolgt, von dem Abstand zwischen zwei seitlichen Führungsbahnen gesteuert.The solution to this problem is achieved with a generic sectional door in that the locking and unlocking of the escape door with the armored panel adjoining on both sides takes place automatically, controlled by the distance between two lateral guide tracks.

In einer bevorzugten Ausführungsform sind die beiden Führungsschienen für die Laufrollen des Torpanuzers im Bereich ihres unteren Endes aufeinander zu gebogen, so dass der Abstand zwischen beiden Führungsschienen nach unten zu kontinuierlich abnimmt. Dieser Bereich abnehmenden Abstandes kann jedoch auf eine Höhe kleiner der untersten Torsektion begrenzt sein, so dass nur die alleruntersten Lauf- und/oder Führungsrollen in jenen Bereich gelangen können. Diese sind in begrenztem Umfang bewglich gelagert, d.h., sie können in dem erforderlichen Maße nach innen ausweichen und klemmen also nicht fest.In a preferred embodiment, the two guide rails for the rollers of the Torpanuzer are bent toward one another in the region of their lower end, so that the distance between the two guide rails decreases continuously downwards. However, this area of decreasing distance can be at a height smaller than the bottom door section so that only the very bottom rollers and/or guide rollers can get into that area. These are movably mounted to a limited extent, ie they can deviate inwards to the required extent and therefore do not jam.

Dadurch kann der Zustand der Verriegelungsvorrichtung automatisch gesteuert werden, und zwar in Abhängigkeit von der vertikalen Position des Torpanzers. Wird dieser vollständig abgesenkt, so soll die Fluchttüre entriegelt und somit für das Publikum freigegeben werden. Soll andererseits der Torpanzer bei zumindest eingeklinkter Fluchttür angehoben werden, so sensiert eine Steuermechanik dies an dem bei der Hubbewegung zunehmenden horizontalen Abstand zwischen den beiden Führungsschienen des Torpanzers. Die dabei von einem Federelement nach außen gedrückte Lauf- oder Führungsrolle bewegt gleichzeitig eine Schubstange in etwa horizontaler Richtung innerhalb der betreffenden Sektion des Torpanzers. Diese Schubstange reicht bis kurz vor die Öfnung der Fluchttüre, wo sich die eigentliche Verriegelungsmechanik befindet, und überführt diese in den Verriegelungszustand.This allows the state of the locking device to be controlled automatically, depending on the vertical position of the gate curtain. If this is completely lowered, the escape door should be unlocked and thus released for the public. If, on the other hand, the gate curtain is to be raised with the escape door at least latched in, a control mechanism senses this from the increasing horizontal distance between the two guide rails of the gate curtain during the lifting movement. The running or guide roller, which is pressed outwards by a spring element, simultaneously moves a push rod in an approximately horizontal direction within the relevant section of the door curtain. This push rod extends to just before the opening of the escape door, where the actual locking mechanism is located, and converts it into the locking state.

In umgekehrter Weise wird die beweglich gelagerte Lauf- oder Führungsrolle beim Absenken des Torpanzers nach innen gedrückt und infolgedessen die Schubstange nach außen gezogen, um die Verriegelungsmechanik zu lösen und die Fluchttür freizugeben.Conversely, the movably mounted roller or guide roller is pressed inwards when the door curtain is lowered and as a result the push rod is pulled outwards in order to release the locking mechanism and release the escape door.

Weitere Vorteile ergeben sich dadurch, dass wenigstens eine seitliche Steuer- und/oder Führungsrolle innerhalb der Ebene der betreffenden Sektion des Panzers in horizontaler oder überweiegend horizontaler Richtung gegenüber dem Panzer verschiebbar oder verschwenkbar angeordnet ist. Das bedeutet, dass die Lagerung für diese Steuer- und/oder Führungsrolle ihrerseits verstellbar ist, und zwar in der Ebene des Torpanzers, entweder nur in horizontaler Richtung oder zumindest mit einer horizontalen Bewegungskomponente. Dadurch kann die Steuer- und/oder Führungsrolle stets dem Verlauf einer seitlichen Führungsbahn folgen.Further advantages result from the fact that at least one lateral control and/or guide roller is arranged to be displaceable or pivotable within the plane of the relevant section of the tank in a horizontal or predominantly horizontal direction relative to the tank. This means that the bearing for this control and/or guide roller is itself adjustable, specifically in the plane of the door curtain, either only in a horizontal direction or at least with a horizontal one movement component. As a result, the control and/or guide roller can always follow the course of a lateral guideway.

Es liegt im Rahmen der Erfindung, dass sich wenigstens eine beweglich gelagerte Führungsrolle an derjenigen Seite des Torpanzers befindet, welcher die Schlossseite der Fluchttür zugewandt, deren Scharnierseite dagegen abgewandt ist. Dort kann die Steuer- und/oder Führungsrolle über eine Koppelmechanik unmittelbar auf eine an der Schlossseite der Fluchttür angeordnete Verriegelungseinrichtung steuernd einwirken.It is within the scope of the invention that at least one movably mounted guide roller is located on that side of the door curtain which faces the lock side of the escape door, but whose hinge side faces away. There, the control and/or guide roller can have a direct, controlling effect on a locking device arranged on the lock side of the escape door via a coupling mechanism.

Vorzugsweise ist weiterhin vorgesehen, dass die in horizontaler Richtung gegenüber dem Panzer verschiebbar oder verschwenkbar angeordnete Steuer- und/oder Führungsrolle durch wenigstens ein Federelement nach außen gedrückt wird, gegen die Führungsbahn. Dadurch ist sichergestellt, dass die Steuer- und/oder Führungsrolle stets in unmittelbarem Kontakt mit der betreffenden Führungsbahn steht und daher deren seitlichen Abstand zu dem Torpanzer jederzeit erfühlen kann. Dadurch ist eine präzise, von der Höhe des Torpanzers abhängige Steuerung der Verriegelungsmechanik zwischen torpanzer und Fluchttüre möglich.Provision is preferably also made for the control and/or guide roller, which is arranged to be displaceable or pivotable in the horizontal direction relative to the tank, to be pressed outwards by at least one spring element, against the guideway. This ensures that the control and/or guide roller is always in direct contact with the relevant guide track and can therefore feel its lateral distance from the door curtain at any time. This enables precise control of the locking mechanism between the door curtain and the escape door, depending on the height of the door curtain.

Die beweglich gelagerte Steuer- und/oder Führungsrolle sollte um eine Achse rotierend gelagert sein, die lotrecht zu der betreffenden Sektion des Panzers gerichtet ist. Dadurch ist sie in der Lage versetzt, mit ihrer Mantelfläche an einer seitlichen Führungsschiene entlangzurollen und kann dabei ggf. von einem nach innen strebenden Abschnitt dieser Führungsschine nach innen, d.h. in einer horizontalen Richtung zur Fluchttüre hin gedrückt werden.The movably mounted control and/or guide roller should be mounted for rotation about an axis directed perpendicularly to the section of the tank in question. As a result, it is able to roll along a lateral guide rail with its outer surface and can, if necessary, be pushed inwards by a section of this guide rail that is striving inwards, i.e. in a horizontal direction towards the escape door.

Die Erfindung lässt sich dahingehen weiterbilden, dass die horizontale Bewegung der Führungsrolle durch eine Koppelstange auf eine Mechanik zur Verriegelung und Entriegelung der Fluchttür übertragen wird. Eine Stange kann bestimmte Bewegungen von einem Stangenende winkel- und/oder längentreu zum anderen Stangenende übertragen und dadurch die Bewegung einer Steuer- oder Führungsrolle oder eine davon abgeleitete Bewegung im Bereich eines Stangenendes verzerrungsfrei auf das gegenüber liegende Stangenende übertragen.The invention can be further developed in such a way that the horizontal movement of the guide roller is transmitted by a coupling rod to a mechanism for locking and unlocking the escape door. A rod can transmit certain movements from one end of the rod to the other end of the rod with the same angle and/or length and thereby the movement a control or guide roller or a movement derived from it in the area of one rod end is transferred without distortion to the opposite rod end.

Eine bevorzugte Ausführungsform zeichnet sich dadurch aus, dass die horizontale Bewegung der Führungsrolle als Verschiebung der Schub- oder Koppelstange in deren Längsrichtung auf die Mechanik zur Verriegelung und Entriegelung der Fluchttür übertragen wird. Solche geradlinige oder überwiegend geradlinige Bewegungen in richtung der Stangenlängsachse kann eine Stange ohne größere Verformungen ausführen und übertragen, während Bewegungen lotrecht zu ihrer Längsachse eher zu einer Verbiegung führen als entlang der Stange übertragen zu werden.A preferred embodiment is characterized in that the horizontal movement of the guide roller is transmitted as a displacement of the push or coupling rod in its longitudinal direction to the mechanism for locking and unlocking the escape door. Such rectilinear or predominantly rectilinear movements in the direction of the longitudinal axis of the rod can be carried out and transmitted by a rod without major deformations, while movements perpendicular to its longitudinal axis result in deflection rather than being transmitted along the rod.

Andererseits besteht auch die Möglichkeit, dass die horizontale Bewegung der Führungsrolle als Drehung der Schub- oder Koppelstange um deren Längsrichtung auf die Mechanik zur Verriegelung und Entriegelung der Fluchttür übertragen wird. Auch Drehungen um ihre Längsachse kann eine Stange leichter übertragen als bspw. eine Verbiegung quer zur Stangenlängsachse.On the other hand, there is also the possibility that the horizontal movement of the guide roller is transmitted to the mechanism for locking and unlocking the escape door as a rotation of the push or coupling rod around its longitudinal direction. A rod can also transfer rotations about its longitudinal axis more easily than, for example, a bending transverse to the longitudinal axis of the rod.

Es hat sich bewährt, dass die Bewegung der Koppelstange in eine Horizontalbewegung eines Elements der Mechanik zur Verriegelung und Entriegelung der Fluchttür umgewandelt wird, vorzugsweise in eine Horizontalbewegung innerhalb der Ebene der betreffenden Sektion des Panzers. Eine solche Bewegung ist zu der eigentlichen Verriegelungsmechanik zwischen Fluchttür und Torpanzer bewegungsmäßig kompatibel. Im verriegelten Zustand muss ja ein panzerseitig angeordnetes, bewegliches Verriegelungselement mit einem Pendant in oder an der Fluchttür in Kontakt treten und dort in irgendeiner Weise einen Formschluss ausbilden, um eine Bewegung der Fluchttür in deren Öffnungsrichtung zu verhindern, während im entriegelten Zustand das betreffende Verriegelungselement von seinem Pendant an der Fluchttür freikommen muss und auch aus dem potentiellen Bewegungsbereich der Fluchttür herausbewegt werden muss, um die Öffnungsbewegung der Fluchttür zu ermöglichen. Im Allgemeinen führt dazu das betreffende Verriegelungselement eine Verstellbewegung mit einer horizontalen Bewegungskomponente innerhalb der Ebene des Torpanzers aus, und eine solche Verstellbewegung des betreffenden Verriegelungselements folgt dabei der Bewegung des mit der Schub- oder Koppelstange gekoppelten (Betätigungs-) Elements der Mechanik zur Verriegelung und Entriegelung der Fluchttür.It has been proven that the movement of the connecting rod is converted into a horizontal movement of an element of the mechanism for locking and unlocking the escape door, preferably into a horizontal movement within the plane of the relevant section of the tank. Such a movement is compatible in terms of movement with the actual locking mechanism between the escape door and the gate curtain. In the locked state, a movable locking element arranged on the armored side must come into contact with a counterpart in or on the escape door and form a form fit there in some way in order to prevent the escape door from moving in its opening direction, while in the unlocked state the relevant locking element of has to get free from his counterpart at the escape door and also from the potential range of movement of the escape door must be moved out to allow the opening movement of the escape door. In general, the locking element in question performs an adjustment movement with a horizontal movement component within the plane of the door curtain, and such an adjustment movement of the locking element in question follows the movement of the (actuating) element of the locking and unlocking mechanism coupled to the push or coupling rod the escape door.

Dem Erfindungsgedanken weiter folgend kann ferner vorgesehen sein, dass die horizontale Bewegung der Steuer- oder Führungsrolle über die Koppelstange in eine entgegengesetzte Horizontalbewegung eines Elements der Mechanik zur Verriegelung und Entriegelung der Fluchttür umgewandelt wird, vorzugsweise in eine entgegengesetzte Horizontalbewegung innerhalb der Ebene der betreffenden Sektion des Panzers. Die Umkehr der Bewegungsrichtung ist insbesondere bei der Verwendung von Schubstangen relevant, da die Steuer- oder Führungsrolle von der am unteren Ende der Führungsbahn nach innen, d.h. zu Fluchttür hin gedrückt wird, gleichzeitig aber die Fluchttür dabei entriegelt werden soll, um bei geschlossenem Panzer geöffnet werden zu können. Eine solche Entriegelung erfordert jedoch im Allgemeinen, dass ein im Torpanzer nahe der Fluchttür angeordnetes, verhakbares Element nach außen gezogen werden soll, also aus dem Bereich der Fluchttür heraus, wo sich ein solches verhakbares Element einhaken könnte, um jene Flucchttür freizugeben.Further following the idea of the invention, it can also be provided that the horizontal movement of the control or guide roller is converted via the coupling rod into an opposite horizontal movement of an element of the mechanism for locking and unlocking the escape door, preferably in an opposite horizontal movement within the plane of the relevant section of the tanks. The reversal of the direction of movement is particularly relevant when using push rods, since the control or guide roller is pushed inwards by the lower end of the guideway, i.e. towards the escape door, but at the same time the escape door should be unlocked in order to open when the curtain wall is closed to be able to. However, such unlocking generally requires that a hookable element arranged in the door curtain near the escape door should be pulled outwards, ie out of the area of the escape door where such a hookable element could hook in order to release that escape door.

Bevorzugt ist ein Element der Mechanik zur Verriegelung und Entriegelung der Fluchttür, welches die Bewegung der Schub- oder Koppelstange aufnimmt, in seiner zugelassenen Bewegungsrichtung beweglich geführt oder gelagert, insbesondere durch eine Führungseinrichtung mittels Rollen oder durch eine Drehlagerung mittels Wälzkörpern. Dadurch erfährt die Schub- oder Koppelstange an ihren beiden Enden jeweils eine durch die Führung und/oder Lagerung bewegungsmäßig eingegrenzte und solchermaßen aufeinander abgtestimmte Verlagerungen und/oder Verdrehungen, so dass ein Klemmen - aber auch ein Verbiegen oder eine Torsion - ausgeschlossen ist.An element of the mechanism for locking and unlocking the escape door, which absorbs the movement of the push or coupling rod, is preferably movably guided or mounted in its permitted direction of movement, in particular by a guide device using rollers or by a rotary bearing using rolling elements. As a result, the push or coupling rod at both of its ends is limited in terms of movement by the guide and/or bearing and is thus on top of one another coordinated shifts and/or twists, so that jamming - but also bending or torsion - is excluded.

Die Mechanik zur Verriegelung und Entriegelung der Fluchttür kann ein oder mehrere hakenförmige Elemente mit einem Haken zum einseitigen Umgreifen eines stab- oder stangenförmigen Elements an der Fluchttüre umfassen und/oder ein oder mehrere Elemente mit einem Schlitz zum beidseitigen Umgreifen eines stab- oder stangenförmigen Elements an der Fluchttüre. Durch ein solches ein- oder beidseitiges Umgreifen wird die Position des umgriffenen Elements vorgegeben und damit auch die entsprechende Position der gesamten Fluchttüre.The mechanism for locking and unlocking the escape door can comprise one or more hook-shaped elements with a hook for gripping a rod or bar-shaped element on the escape door on one side and/or one or more elements with a slot for gripping a rod or bar-shaped element on both sides the escape door. Such a gripping on one or both sides predetermines the position of the gripped element and thus also the corresponding position of the entire escape door.

Eine weitere, bevorzugte Konstruktionsvorschrift besagt, dass die Längsrichtung der stab- oder stangenförmigen Elemente an der Fluchttüre innerhalb der oder parallel zu der Ebene der betreffenden Sektion des Panzers verläuft, vorzugsweise in der Bewegungsrichtung der betreffenden Sektion des Panzers. In dieser Richtung ist einerseits ausreichend Platz auch für längere stangenförmige Elemente; andererseits ist diese Richtung lorecht zu der Schieberichtung einer Schub- oder Koppelstange, so dass von einer solchen Verschiebung mit geringem konstruktivem Aufwand eine Verriegelungsbewegung abgeleitet werden kann.A further preferred design specification states that the longitudinal direction of the bar or bar-shaped elements on the escape door runs within or parallel to the plane of the relevant section of the tank, preferably in the direction of movement of the relevant section of the tank. In this direction, on the one hand, there is sufficient space for longer rod-shaped elements; on the other hand, this direction is perpendicular to the sliding direction of a push or coupling rod, so that a locking movement can be derived from such a displacement with little design effort.

Schließlich entspricht es der Lehre der Erfindung, dass die Dreh- oder Schwenkachse(n) der hakenförmigen Elemente mit einem Haken zum einseitigen Umgreifen eines stab- oder stangenförmigen Elements an der Fluchttüre und/oder die Dreh- oder Schwenkachse(n) der mit einem Schlitz versehenen Elemente zum beidseitigen Umgreifen eines stab- oder stangenförmigen Elements an der Fluchttüre innerhalb der oder parallel zu der Ebene der betreffenden Sektion des Panzers verläuft (verlaufen), vorzugsweise in der Bewegungsrichtung der betreffenden Sektion des Panzers. Solchenfalls können einerseits bei verriegelten Hakenelementen gerade auch Haltekräfte in einer Richtung lotrecht zur Ebene des Panzers aufgenommen bzw. aufgebracht werden, um ein Öffnen der Fluchttür, wobei sich deren Schlossseite im ersten Moment lotrecht zur Panzerebene bewegt, zu verhindern. Andererseits lassen sich bei Bedarf mehrere hakenförmige Elemente an solchen, dann in vertikaler Richtung orientierten Lagerstiften in deren Längsrichtung hintereinander aufgereiht werden, um die maximalen Haltekräfte entsprechend zu vervielfältigen.Finally, it corresponds to the teaching of the invention that the rotation or pivot axis(s) of the hook-shaped elements with a hook for one-sided gripping of a rod or rod-shaped element on the escape door and/or the rotation or pivot axis(s) with a slot provided elements for both sides encompassing a rod or rod-shaped element on the escape door within or parallel to the plane of the relevant section of the tank (run), preferably in the direction of movement of the relevant section of the tank. In such a case, on the one hand, when the hook elements are locked, holding forces can also be exerted in a direction perpendicular to the plane of the tank be taken up or applied in order to prevent the escape door from opening, with the lock side moving perpendicularly to the tank plane at first. On the other hand, if required, several hook-shaped elements can be lined up one behind the other in the longitudinal direction of such bearing pins, which are then oriented in the vertical direction, in order to multiply the maximum holding forces accordingly.

Further features, details, advantages and effects based on the invention result from the following description of a preferred embodiment of the invention and from the illustrations. This shows:
1
a mechanism for automatically controlling the one-sided locking and unlocking between an escape door and the adjacent gate curtain in a first, fully locked state;
2
the detail II out 1 in the state removed from the surrounding gate armor, in an enlarged view;
3
one of the 2 corresponding representation of the arrangement 1 during the opening process; such as
4
one of the 2 corresponding representation of the arrangement 1 in fully unlocked condition.

Die in der Abbildung dargestellte Mechanik 1 ist Bestandteil eines Sektionaltors mit einem Panzer 2 aus mehreren, quer verlaufenden, über Gelenke 3 miteinander verbundenen und mittels Führungsrollen entlang von zwei seitlichen Führungsbahnen nach oben fahrbaren Torsektionen 4.The mechanism 1 shown in the figure is part of a sectional door with a curtain 2 made up of several transverse door sections 4, which are connected to one another via joints 3 and can be moved upwards by means of guide rollers along two lateral guideways.

In einem solchen Panzer 2 gibt es eine Fluchttür 5, die sich in ihrer Höhe über mehrere Sektionen 4 des Torpanzers 2 erstreckt und dementsprechend ebenfalls aus mehreren Sektionen besteht, welche zum Öffnen des Panzers 2 mit den angrenzenden Torsektionen 4 verbindbar und verriegelbar sind und zum Öffnen der Fluchttür 5 von jenen zumindest einseitig entriegelbar und lösbar sind,In such a tank 2 there is an escape door 5 which extends in height over several sections 4 of the gate tank 2 and accordingly also consists of several sections, which can be connected and locked to the adjacent door sections 4 to open the tank 2 and can be unlocked and released from them at least on one side to open the escape door 5,

Damit die Verriegelung und Entriegelung der Fluchttür 5 mit dem beidseitig angrenzenden Panzer 2 selbsttätig erfolgen kann, wird der Ent- und Verriegelungszustand zwischen der Fluchttür 5 und den wenigstens an einer Seite angrenzenden Bereichen des Torpanzers 2 durch die in den Abbildungen dargestellte Mechanik 1 automatisch gesteuert, welche zu diesem Zweck den Abstand zwischen zwei seitlichen Führungsbahnen für den Torpanzer 2 sensiert.So that the locking and unlocking of the escape door 5 with the curtain 2 bordering on both sides can take place automatically, the unlocking and locking state between the escape door 5 and the areas of the gate curtain 2 bordering on at least one side is automatically controlled by the mechanism 1 shown in the figures, which senses the distance between two lateral guide tracks for the gate curtain 2 for this purpose.

Dazu ist wenigstens eine seitliche Führungs- und/oder Steuerrolle 6 innerhalb der Ebene der betreffenden Sektion 4 des Panzers 2 in horizontaler Richtung gegenüber dem Panzer 2 verschiebbar oder verschwenkbar angeordnet. Eine solche Führungs- und/oder Steuerrolle 6 kann in einem Auge 7 der Mechanik 1 gelagert sein. Die beweglich gelagerte Führungs- und/oder Steuerrolle 6 ist um eine Achse 8 rotierend gelagert, die lotrecht zu der betreffenden Sektion 4 des Panzers 2 gerichtet ist, und die Durchgangsrichtung des Auges 7 verläuft in einer entsprechenden Richtung.For this purpose, at least one lateral guide and/or control roller 6 is arranged to be displaceable or pivotable in the horizontal direction relative to the tank 2 within the plane of the relevant section 4 of the tank 2 . Such a guide and/or control roller 6 can be mounted in an eye 7 of the mechanism 1 . The movably mounted guide and/or control roller 6 is mounted to rotate about an axis 8 directed perpendicularly to the section 4 of the tank 2 in question, and the direction of passage of the eye 7 is in a corresponding direction.

Das Auge 7 zur Lagerung dieser Führungs- und/oder Steuerrolle 6 befindet sich an einem vorzugsweise doppelarmigen Schwenkhebel 9. Dessen in Fig. 1 verdeckte, in einem mittleren Bereich des Schwenkhebels 9 realisierte Schwenklagerung umfasst eine Schwenkachse, deren Längsrichtung vorzugsweise parallel zu der Lagerachse 8 der beweglich gelagerten Führungs- und/oder Steuerrolle 6 verläuft.The eye 7 for mounting this guide and / or control roller 6 is located on a preferably double-armed pivoting lever 9. Its in 1 The concealed pivot bearing realized in a central area of the pivot lever 9 comprises a pivot axis, the longitudinal direction of which preferably runs parallel to the bearing axis 8 of the movably mounted guide and/or control roller 6 .

Bevorzugt ist der Schwenkhebel 9 überwiegend vertikal orientiert, d.h., sein Schwenkbereich ist kleiner als 360°, vorzugsweise nur 180° oder kleiner, und dabei zeigt stets ein Arm 10 des Schwenkhebels 9 überwiegend nach oben, der andere Arm 11 dagegen überweigend nach unten.The pivoting lever 9 is preferably oriented predominantly vertically, ie its pivoting range is less than 360°, preferably only 180° or less, and one arm 10 of the pivoting lever 9 always points predominantly upwards, while the other arm 11 predominantly points downwards.

Auf einen Arm 10, 11 dieses Schwenkhebels 9 wirkt ein Federelement 12 ein, welches bestrebt ist, den Arm 10, 11 des Schwenkhebels 9 mit dem Auge 7 nach außen zu drücken, also innerhalb des Torpanzers 2 von der Fluchttür 5 weg und gegen die seitliche Führungsbahn.A spring element 12 acts on an arm 10, 11 of this pivoting lever 9, which endeavors to push the arm 10, 11 of the pivoting lever 9 with the eye 7 outwards, i.e. within the gate curtain 2 away from the escape door 5 and against the side guideway.

Die Längs- oder Wirkungsachse des Federelements 12 sollte ganz oder überwiegend horizontal verlaufen, um auf einen der beiden überwiegend vertikal stehenden Hebelarm 10, 11 eine etwa horizontale Kraft einleiten zu können, die mit der Längsrichtung des betreffenden Hebelarms 10, 11 einen etwa rechten Winkel einschließt, so dass die Federkraft des Federelements 12 in ein maximales Verstell-Drehmoment transformiert wird.The longitudinal or effective axis of the spring element 12 should run completely or predominantly horizontally in order to be able to introduce an approximately horizontal force onto one of the two predominantly vertical lever arms 10, 11, which encloses an approximately right angle with the longitudinal direction of the relevant lever arm 10, 11 , So that the spring force of the spring element 12 is transformed into a maximum adjustment torque.

Aus Platzgründen sollte das Federelement 12 entweder auf denjenigen Hebelarm 10, 11 einwirken, der das Auge 7 zur Lagerung dieser Führungs- und/oder Steuerrolle 6 aufweist - in diesem Falle sollte das Federelement 12 als auf Druck belastbare Feder ausgebildet sein; oder das Federelement 12 wirkt auf den jeweils anderen Hebelarm 11, 10 ein, woran kein Auge 7 zur Lagerung dieser Führungs- und/oder Steuerrolle 6 angeordnet ist - in diesem Falle sollte das Federelement 12 als auf Zug belastbare Feder ausgebildet sein.For reasons of space, the spring element 12 should either act on that lever arm 10, 11 which has the eye 7 for supporting this guide and/or control roller 6 - in this case the spring element 12 should be designed as a spring that can be loaded with pressure; or the spring element 12 acts on the respective other lever arm 11, 10, on which no eye 7 for supporting this guide and/or control roller 6 is arranged - in this case the spring element 12 should be designed as a spring that can be subjected to tensile loads.

Im dargestellten Beispiel ist das Federelement 12 als auf Druck belastbare Gasdruckfeder realisiert, die bestrebt ist, den Hebelarm 10 mit dem Auge 7 nach außen zu drücken, also dergestalt, dass die in dem Auge 7 gelagerte Führungs- und/oder Steuerrolle 6 seitlich nach außen gedrückt wird, aus der dortigen Stirnseite der betreffenden Torsektion 4 hinaus und gegen den Boden einer seitlichen Führungsschiene, welche vorzugsweise einen U-förmigen Querschnitt haben kann.In the example shown, the spring element 12 is implemented as a pressure-loadable gas pressure spring which strives to push the lever arm 10 with the eyelet 7 outwards, i.e. in such a way that the guide and/or control roller 6 mounted in the eyelet 7 moves laterally outwards is pressed out of the end face of the door section 4 in question and against the bottom of a lateral guide rail, which can preferably have a U-shaped cross section.

Gemäß Fig. 1 befindet sich also das die Führungs- und/oder Steuerrolle 6 lagernde Auge 7 an dem selben Arm 10, 11 des Schwenkhebels 9, an welchen auch das jenen Arm 10, 11 nach außen drückende Federelement 12 in Form einer auf Druck belastbaren Gasdruckfeder angeschlossen ist.According to 1 the eye 7 supporting the guide and/or control roller 6 is therefore located on the same arm 10, 11 of the pivoted lever 9 to which the spring element 12 in the form of a pressure-loadable gas pressure spring that presses that arm 10, 11 outwards is also connected.

Dieser Schwenkhebel 9 ist seinerseits im Bereich seines Zentrums - wo sich auch ein mehr oder weniger stark ausgeprägtes Knie befinden kann - drehbar gelagert, und zwar an einem mit der betreffenden Sektion 4 des Torpanzers 2 verbundenen oder verbindbaren Chassis-Teil 13, an welchem auch - über einen sich etwa horizontal in Richtung zur Fluchttür 5 hin erstreckenden Ausleger 14 - das zweite Ende 15 des bspw. als (Gas-) Druckfeder ausgebildeten Federelements 12 verankert ist. Dieses Ende 15 ist im dargestellten Beispiel einer Gasdruckfeder durch deren Gehäuse gebildet, während das andere, mit einem Arm 10, 11 des Schwenkhebels 9 gekoppelte Ende 16 der Kolbenstange dieser Gasdruckfeder entspricht.This swivel lever 9 is in turn in the region of its center - where a more or less pronounced knee can be located - rotatably mounted on a chassis part 13 which is or can be connected to the relevant section 4 of the gate curtain 2, on which also - The second end 15 of the spring element 12 embodied, for example, as a (gas) compression spring is anchored via an arm 14 extending approximately horizontally in the direction of the escape door 5 . In the example shown, this end 15 is formed by the housing of a gas pressure spring, while the other end 16 coupled to an arm 10, 11 of the pivoting lever 9 corresponds to the piston rod of this gas pressure spring.

Mit dem verschwenkbaren Hebel 9 ist weiterhin eine Koppel- oder Schubstange 17 gekoppelt, welche sich in etwa horizontaler Richtung durch die betreffende Sektion 4 des Torpanzers 2 innerhalb der Panzerebene nach innen zur Fluchttür 5 hin erstreckt.With the pivotable lever 9, a coupling or push rod 17 is also coupled, which extends in an approximately horizontal direction through the relevant section 4 of the gate curtain 2 within the curtain level inwardly toward the escape door 5.

Die Kopplung der Koppel- oder Schubstange 17 mit dem Hebel 9 kann gelenkig ausgebildet sein, so dass die Bewegung der Koppel- oder Schubstange 17 überwiegend linear orientiert ist, während die Bewegung des Hebels 9 eine reine Drehbewegung ist.The coupling of the coupling or push rod 17 to the lever 9 can be articulated, so that the movement of the coupling or push rod 17 is predominantly linear, while the movement of the lever 9 is a pure rotary movement.

Die Koppel- oder Schubstange 17 ist an dem Schwenkhebel 9 exzentrisch in Bezug auf dessen eigene Lagerebene angelenkt, bevorzugt an demjenigen Arm 12 desselben, der dem das Lagerauge 7 für die Führungs- oder Abtastrolle 6 aufweisenden Hebelarm 11 etwa diametral gegenüber liegt.The coupling or push rod 17 is articulated on the pivoting lever 9 eccentrically with respect to its own bearing plane, preferably on that arm 12 thereof which is approximately diametrically opposite to the lever arm 11 having the bearing eye 7 for the guide or follower roller 6 .

Da sich der Anlenkpunkt 18 der Koppel- oder Schubstange 17 an dem Schwenkhebel 9 an einem dessen das Lager-Auge 7 für die Steuer- oder Führungsrolle 6 aufweisenden Arm 11 etwa diametral gegenüber liegenden Arm 12 befindet, ist sichergestellt, dass die Horizontalbewegung der Koppel- oder Schubstange 7 etwa entgegengesetzt der Horizontalbewegung der Steuer- oder Führungsrolle 6 ist.Since the pivot point 18 of the coupling or push rod 17 on the pivoting lever 9 is located on one of its arm 11, which has the bearing eye 7 for the control or guide roller 6, is approximately diametrically opposite arm 12, it is ensured that the horizontal movement of the coupling or push rod 7 is approximately opposite to the horizontal movement of the control or guide roller 6.

Mit anderen Worten, wird aufgrund einer an ihrem unteren Ende nach innen, also zum Torpanzer 2 hin gebogenen Ende der Führungsschiene die Steuer- und/oder Führungsrolle 6 und über deren Lagerung das Auge 2 an einem Arm 11 des Schwenkhebels 9 innerhalb der Panzerebene horizontal nach innen gedrückt, also zur Fluchttür 5 hin, so bewegt sich die Koppel- oder Schubstange 17 gleichzeitig nach außen, also von der Fluchttür 5 weg.In other words, due to an end of the guide rail that is bent inwards at its lower end, i.e. towards the door curtain 2, the control and/or guide roller 6 and, via its bearing, the eye 2 on an arm 11 of the pivoting lever 9 within the curtain plane horizontally pressed inside, ie towards the escape door 5, the coupling or push rod 17 moves simultaneously outwards, ie away from the escape door 5.

Das zweite, fluchttürseitige Ende der Schubstange 17 ist an einem Schlitten oder Wagen 19 befestigt oder angelenkt, welcher innerhalb der betreffenden Sektion 4 des Torpanzers 2 entlang einer in horizontaler Richtung innerhalb der Panzerebene verlaufenden Führung 20 verschiebbar ist. Wie die Fig. 1 zeigt, kann dieser Wagen 19 zu diesem Zweck mit Rollen 21 versehen sein, um eine leichtgängige Führung zu gewährleisten.The second end of the push rod 17 on the escape door side is fastened or articulated to a carriage or carriage 19 which can be displaced within the relevant section 4 of the door curtain 2 along a guide 20 running in the horizontal direction within the plane of the curtain. As the 1 shows, this carriage 19 can be provided with rollers 21 for this purpose in order to ensure smooth guidance.

An einem dem Chassis-Teil 13 abgewandten Ende des Wagens 19 ist eine gabelförmige Anordnung 22 vorgesehen, zur Steuerung von hakenförmigen Elementen 23 der eigentlichen Verriegelungsvorrichtung 24.A fork-shaped arrangement 22 is provided on an end of the carriage 19 facing away from the chassis part 13, for controlling hook-shaped elements 23 of the actual locking device 24.

Diese Verriegelungsvorrichtung 24 umfasst Elemente an der Fluchttür 5, worin die hakenförmigen Elemente 23 eingreifen können. Die fluchttürseitigen Verriegelungselemente sind als Verriegelungsstifte 25 ausgebildet, deren Längsachsen vorzugsweise vertikal verlaufen, d.h. innerhalb der Ebene der Fluchttür 5 parallel zu deren mit dem Torpanzer 2 zu verbindenden Seitenkanten 26.This locking device 24 includes elements on the escape door 5, in which the hook-shaped elements 23 can engage. The locking elements on the escape door side are designed as locking pins 25, the longitudinal axes of which preferably run vertically, i.e. within the plane of the escape door 5 parallel to the side edges 26 to be connected to the door curtain 2.

Es gibt vorzugsweise wenigstens ein Paar derartiger Verriegelungsstifte 25, bevorzugt in einer Richtung lotrecht zu der Ebene der betreffenden Sektion 4 des Türblattes 5 gegeneinander vesetzt, also beispielsweise einmal nahe der Türaußenseite und einem nahe der Türinnenseite. Zwischen den beiden Verriegelungsstiften 25 gibt es einen spaltförmigen Zwischenraum als Bewegungsspielraum für das Ein- oder Ausschwenken der hakenförmigen Elemente 23.There are preferably at least one pair of such locking pins 25, preferably offset in a direction perpendicular to the plane of the relevant section 4 of the door leaf 5, e.g. one near the outside of the door and one near the inside of the door. There is a gap-like space between the two locking pins 25 as room for movement for pivoting the hook-shaped elements 23 in or out.

Die hakenförmigen Elemente 23 haben jeweils einen Schaft 27 mit einem Haken 28 bzw. Schlitz 29 an einem Ende und einer Anlenköse 30 am anderen Ende. Die Anlenkösen 30 sind an Lagerstiften 31 gelagert oder befestigt, welche an der betreffenden Sektion 4 des Torpanzers 2 verankert oder gelagert sind. Die Lagerstifte 31 verlaufen parallel zu den Verriegelungs-Stiften 25, sind aber natürlich nicht wie erstere an der Fluchttür 5 befestigt, sondern an der Sektion 4 des Torpanzers 2.The hook-shaped elements 23 each have a shank 27 with a hook 28 or slot 29 at one end and a pivoting eyelet 30 at the other end. The pivot eyes 30 are mounted or attached to bearing pins 31, which are anchored or mounted on the relevant section 4 of the door curtain 2. The bearing pins 31 run parallel to the locking pins 25, but are of course not attached to the escape door 5 like the former, but to the section 4 of the gate curtain 2.

Infolge der Orientierung der Lagerstifte 31 verschwenken die hakenförmigen Elemente 23 innerhalb einer horizontalen Ebene. Die Figuren 1 und 2 zeigen den vollständig ausgeschwenkten Zustand, wobei die hakenförmigen Elemente 23 die Verriegelungsstifte 25 verriegelnd umgreifen; in der Darstellung gemäß Fig. 3 sind die hakenförmigen Elemente 23 teilweise zurückgezogen und in Fig. 4 vollständig, so dass die Verriegelungsstifte 25 frei sind und die Fluchttüre 5 geöffnet werden kann.As a result of the orientation of the bearing pins 31, the hook-shaped elements 23 pivot within a horizontal plane. the figures 1 and 2 show the completely pivoted-out state, with the hook-shaped elements 23 gripping the locking pins 25 in a locking manner; in the representation according to 3 the hook-shaped elements 23 are partially withdrawn and in 4 completely so that the locking pins 25 are free and the escape door 5 can be opened.

Das Zusammenwirken der Einzelteile de Mechanik 1 ist wie folgt:
Das Ver- und Entriegeln wird bewirkt durch eine Kopplung der hakenförmigen Elemente 23 an die gabelförmige Anordnung 22 an dem fluchttürseitigen Ende des horizontal verschiebbar geführten Wagens 19. Diese Koppelung kann mit je einer Stange 32 hergestellt werden, die einerseits an der gabelförmigen Anordnung 22 und andererseits am Schaft 27 eines hakenförmigen Elements 23 angelenkt ist.
The interaction of the individual parts of the mechanism 1 is as follows:
The locking and unlocking is effected by coupling the hook-shaped elements 23 to the fork-shaped arrangement 22 at the end of the horizontally displaceably guided carriage 19 on the escape door side is articulated on the shank 27 of a hook-shaped element 23 .

Wird der Wagen 19 durch die Schubstange 17 in Richtung zu der Fluchttüre 5 geschoben, so schiebt dessen gabelförmige Anordnung 22 mit Hilfe der Stangen 32 die hakenförmigen Elemente 23 in Richtung zu der Fluchttür 5, und diese schwenken dabei um ihre Lagerstifte 31, und demzufolge vollführen die Haken 28 eine Kreisbewegung in einer horizontalen Ebene und gelangen schließlich hinter die Verriegelungsstifte 25, bzw. jene gelangen in den Schlitz 29 des betreffenden hakenförmigen Elements 23 hinein.If the carriage 19 is pushed by the push rod 17 in the direction of the escape door 5, its fork-shaped arrangement 22, with the aid of the rods 32, pushes the hook-shaped elements 23 in the direction of the escape door 5, and these pivot about their bearing pins 31, and consequently carry out the hooks 28 make a circular movement in a horizontal plane and finally get behind the locking pins 25, or they get into the slot 29 of the hook-shaped element 23 in question.

Um die Stabilität der Anordnung zu erhöhen, können mehrere hakenförmige Elemente 23 bzw. Paare von hakenförmigen Elementen 23 übereinander angeordnet sein. Wie die Abbildung zeigt, können übereinander angeordnete, hakenförmige Elemente 23 an einem gemeinsamen Lagerstift 31 angeordnet sein und auch hinter gemeinsame Verriegelungsstifte 25 schwenken, so dass einerseits deren Bewegungen durch mechanische Koppelung synchronisiert sein können. Wenn die gabelförmige Anordnung 22 eine entsprechende Anzahl von Schlitzen oder Aufnahmen für Betätigungsstangen 32 aufweist, können alle miteinander synchronisierten, hakenförmigen Elemente 23 gemeinsam über nur eine einzige Koppelstange 17 von einer einzigen Steuer- und/oder Führungsrolle 6 aus angesteuert werden. Um den Aufwand weiter zu reduzieren, können bei einer solchen Anordnung auch mehrere hakenförmige Elemente 23 gemeinsam auf einem Lagerstift 31 drehfest fixiert sein, so dass durch Bbetätigung eines hakenförmigen Elements 23 alle anderen über den gemeinsamen Lagerstift 31 mitgenommen werden.In order to increase the stability of the arrangement, several hook-shaped elements 23 or pairs of hook-shaped elements 23 can be arranged one above the other. As the figure shows, hook-shaped elements 23 arranged one above the other can be arranged on a common bearing pin 31 and also pivot behind common locking pins 25, so that on the one hand their movements can be synchronized by mechanical coupling. If the fork-shaped arrangement 22 has a corresponding number of slots or receptacles for actuating rods 32, all hook-shaped elements 23 synchronized with one another can be controlled together via a single coupling rod 17 from a single control and/or guide roller 6. In order to further reduce the effort, in such an arrangement, several hook-shaped elements 23 can also be fixed together in a rotationally fixed manner on a bearing pin 31 , so that by actuating one hook-shaped element 23 , all the others are taken along via the common bearing pin 31 .
