Description

Die Erfindung betrifft ein Spaltabdichtungselement, die zur Abdichtung eines Spalts unterhalb einer Schiebetür bzw. einer größeren, als Tor bezeichneten Schiebetür vorgesehen ist. Aus der WO 2015/001096 A1 ist ein magnetisches Spaltdichtungsband bekannt.The invention relates to a gap sealing element, which is provided for sealing a gap below a sliding door or a larger, referred to as gate sliding door. From the WO 2015/001096 A1 For example, a magnetic gap sealing tape is known.

In der Praxis ist es bekannt, Schiebetüren mithilfe von Linearbürsten abzudichten. Insbesondere bei Haustüren, die der Witterung ausgesetzt sind, und deren Türflügel oberhalb eines Bodens bewegt werden, welcher ebenfalls den Witterungseinflüssen ausgesetzt ist kann es in der Praxis zu Anhebungen des Bodens kommen, beispielsweise zum Anheben von Fliesen bzw. Bodenplatten aufgrund von Frost. Wenn dadurch der Spalt verringert wird, den die Bürste überbrücken soll, wird die Bürste dementsprechend stark verformt und ihr Verschleiß beschleunigt. Wenn sich anschließend an die Frostperiode der Boden wieder absenkt, weil er belaufen oder befahren wird, und sich infolgedessen die Spaltbreite unterhalb der Schiebetür wieder vergrößert, stellen sich die Borsten der Bürste nicht immer zuverlässig wieder vollständig zurück, zudem kann durch den zwischenzeitlich erhöhten Verschleiß unter Umständen eine vollständige Spaltüberbrückung auch nicht mehr gewährleistet werden.In practice, it is known to seal sliding doors using linear brushes. In particular, in front doors, which are exposed to the weather, and whose door leaves are moved above a floor, which is also exposed to the weather, it can come in practice to increases the ground, for example, for lifting tiles or floor panels due to frost. If this reduces the gap that the brush is to bridge over, the brush is correspondingly strongly deformed and its wear accelerated. If, after the frost period, the floor lowers again, because it is used or driven, and as a result, the gap width increases again below the sliding door, the bristles of the brush are not always reliably back completely, also can be due to the meantime increased wear under Circumstances a complete gap bridging can not be guaranteed.

Der Erfindung liegt die Aufgabe zugrunde ein Spaltabdichtungselement anzugeben, das problemlos montierbar und demontierbar ist, verschleißfest ist und eine dementsprechend lange Lebensdauer aufweist, und dessen Montagelage an einer Tür mit einfachen Mitteln nachstellbar ist. Weiterhin liegt der Erfindung die Aufgabe zugrunde, eine Spaltabdichtungsanordnung anzugeben, welche die vorgenannten Vorteile bei der Abdichtung des Spaltes unterhalb einer Schiebetür ermöglicht.The invention has for its object to provide a Spaltabdichtungselement that is easily assembled and disassembled, is wear-resistant and has a correspondingly long life, and its mounting position on a door with simple means is adjustable. Furthermore, the invention has for its object to provide a Spaltabdichtungsanordnung which allows the aforementioned advantages in the sealing of the gap below a sliding door.

Diese Aufgabe wird durch ein Spaltabdichtungselement nach Anspruch 1 gelöst sowie durch eine Spaltabdichtungsanordnung nach Anspruch 11. Vorteilhafte Ausgestaltungen sind in den Unteransprüchen beschrieben.This object is achieved by a gap sealing element according to claim 1 and by a gap sealing arrangement according to claim 11. Advantageous embodiments are described in the subclaims.

Das vorschlagsgemäße Spaltabdichtungselement weist einerseits eine Mittellage auf, die aus Metall besteht und damit dem Spaltabdichtungselement eine hervorragende Stabilität verleiht.The proposed gap sealing element on the one hand has a central position, which consists of metal and thus gives the gap sealing element excellent stability.

Rückseitig ist das Spaltabdichtungselement mit einer magnetischen Haftlage versehen. Die magnetische Montage sichert hohe Abzugskräfte quer zur Flächennormalen des Türblatts bzw. des Spaltabdichtungselements und bewirkt somit einen hervorragenden Halt des Spaltabdichtungselements an der Tür. Andererseits jedoch ermöglicht die magnetische Montage problemlos eine Verschiebung des Spaltabdichtungselements an der Tür unter Überwindung von Verschiebekräften, die parallel zum Türblatt bzw. zum Spaltabdichtungselement wirken und geringer sind als die Abzugskräfte, so dass die Lage des Spaltabdichtungselements problemlos korrigiert werden kann.On the back side, the gap sealing element is provided with a magnetic adhesive layer. The magnetic mounting secures high withdrawal forces across the surface normal of the door leaf or the Spaltabdichtungselements and thus causes an excellent grip of the gap sealing element on the door. On the other hand, however, the magnetic mounting easily allows a displacement of the gap sealing element on the door, overcoming displacement forces acting parallel to the door leaf or the gap sealing element and are lower than the withdrawal forces, so that the position of the gap sealing element can be easily corrected.

Diese Korrekturmöglichkeit betrifft erstens die Justage des Spaltabdichtungselements bei deren erstmaliger Montage an der Schiebetür. Dies betrifft zweitens jedoch auch die Möglichkeit, dass das Spaltabdichtungselement Hindernissen zerstörungsfrei ausweichen kann, indem es sich an der Schiebetür verschiebt und dabei dem Hindernis ausweicht. Dies kommt der Langlebigkeit des Spaltabdichtungselements zugute, weil dementsprechend Beschädigungen des Spaltabdichtungselements vermieden werden können. Und anschließend kann das Spaltabdichtungselement problemlos wieder zurück verschoben werden, zu Gunsten einer optimalen Überbrückung des Spaltes.This correction option concerns firstly the adjustment of the gap sealing element when it is first mounted on the sliding door. Secondly, however, this also concerns the possibility that the gap sealing element can avoid obstacles without destroying it by sliding against the sliding door, avoiding the obstacle. This comes the longevity the Spaltabdichtungselements benefit, because accordingly damage the Spaltabdichtungselements can be avoided. And then the gap sealing element can easily be moved back again, in favor of an optimal bridging of the gap.

Auf der Vorderseite ist die metallische Mittellage mit einem textilartig verformbaren Flächenelement versehen. Dadurch, dass dieses Flächenelement über die metallische Mittellage hinausragt, kann es der Umgebung des Türblatts optimal abdichtend anliegen und dabei beispielsweise auch Unregelmäßigkeiten im Verlauf eines Bodens unterhalb der Tür überbrücken. Durch die Kombination der metallischen Mittellage und des Flächenelements weist das Spaltabdichtungselement eine ansonsten nicht erreichte Kombination von Vorteilen auf, nämlich einerseits stark wie ein Blech und andererseits flexibel wie eine Bürste zu sein.On the front of the metallic middle layer is provided with a textile-like deformable surface element. The fact that this surface element protrudes beyond the metallic center layer, it may be the area surrounding the door leaf optimally sealing and thereby, for example, also bridge irregularities in the course of a floor below the door. Due to the combination of the metallic middle layer and the surface element, the gap sealing element has an otherwise not achieved combination of advantages, namely on the one hand to be as strong as a sheet and on the other hand as flexible as a brush.

Dabei kann sich dieses verformbare Flächenelement vorteilhaft um etwa 0,5 cm über die Mittellage hinaus nach unten erstrecken, so dass einerseits eine optimale Anpassung an den Untergrund durch eine ausreichende Verformbarkeit aufgrund der Länge von 0,5 cm sichergestellt ist, andererseits jedoch sichert diese vergleichsweise kurze Länge von 0,5 cm eine ausreichende Steifigkeit des Flächenelements, um beispielsweise den Spalt wirksam gegen kleine Lebewesen wie z. B. Nager, insbesondere Mäuse, abzudichten. Falls der Spalt zwischen dem Türblatt und dem Untergrund größer als 0,5 cm ist, reduziert die steife Mittellage des Spaltabdichtungselements diese ursprünglich vorhandene Spaltbreite und der verbleibende Spalt unterhalb der Mittellage durch das Flächenelement abgedichtet wird. Geht man weiterhin davon aus, dass das Flächenelement nicht nur auf dem Untergrund aufsteht, sondern vielmehr verformt ist und dem Untergrund mit einer gewissen Biegung und unter einer Vorspannung anliegt, so ist die effektive Spaltbreite unterhalb der Mittellage geringer als das Maß, mit welchem das Flächenelement über die Mittellage hinausragt. Wenn dieser Überstand beispielsweise 0,5 cm beträgt und die effektive Spaltbreite dementsprechend noch geringer ist, so wird mittels des Spaltabdichtungselements ein wirksamer Schutz gegen Nager ermöglicht.In this case, this deformable surface element can advantageously extend downwards by about 0.5 cm beyond the middle layer, so that on the one hand optimal adaptation to the substrate is ensured by sufficient deformability on the basis of the length of 0.5 cm, but on the other hand it secures comparatively short length of 0.5 cm sufficient rigidity of the surface element, for example, the gap effectively against small animals such. As rodents, especially mice, seal. If the gap between the door leaf and the substrate is greater than 0.5 cm, the rigid center layer of the gap sealing element reduces this originally existing gap width and the remaining gap below the middle layer is sealed by the planar element. Assuming further that the surface element not only stands up on the ground, but rather is deformed and rests the ground with a certain bending and under a bias, the effective gap width below the central position is less than the extent to which the surface element protrudes beyond the middle layer. If this supernatant for example 0.5 cm and the effective gap width is correspondingly even lower, it is possible by means of the gap sealing element effective protection against rodents.

Falls der Untergrund unter der Tür optimal glatt ist, beispielsweise bei einem fugenlosen Untergrund, kann der Überstand des Flächenelements erheblich reduziert werden, beispielsweise auf einen Wert von nur 0,5 mm, so dass die metallische Mittellage tatsächlich fast bis an den Untergrund reicht und das Flächenelement praktisch ohne Verformung mit seiner unteren Schmalkante auf dem Untergrund aufsteht.If the substrate under the door is optimally smooth, for example, in a seamless surface, the projection of the surface element can be significantly reduced, for example, to a value of only 0.5 mm, so that the metallic center layer actually reaches almost to the ground and the Surface element practically without deformation with its lower narrow edge rests on the ground.

Als "textilartig verformbar" wird dabei ein Flächenelement bezeichnet, welches nicht wie beispielsweise eine Holz- oder Metallplatte vergleichsweise starr ist, sondern welches wie ein textiles Flächenelement reversibel verformt werden kann, wie dies z. B. von einem textilen Flächenelement bekannt ist, welches gerollt oder gefaltet werden kann oder aus welchem z. B. ein Beutel oder dergleichen hergestellt werden kann. Selbst wenn eine derartige dreidimensionale Verformbarkeit im Rahmen des vorliegenden Vorschlages nicht vorgesehen ist, soll durch die Bezeichnung der "textilartigen Verformbarkeit" des vorschlagsgemäß für das Flächenelement infrage kommenden Materials zum Ausdruck gebracht werden, dass beispielsweise textile Flächenelemente wie Gewebe, Gewirke oder dergleichen, oder dass beispielsweise Folien, oder dass beispielsweise eine Kombination daraus in Form faserverstärkter Folien, benutzt werden können. Die vorschlagsgemäß verwendbaren Flächenelemente können beispielsweise zusammenfassend als Planen bezeichnet werden. Nachfolgend wird daher das verwendete Ausgangsmaterial stets als Plane bezeichnet, unabhängig davon, ob es sich um eine Folie handelt, um ein textiles Element, oder um eine mit Fasern verstärkte Folie.As a "textile deformable" while a surface element is referred to, which is not comparatively rigid, such as a wood or metal plate, but which can be reversibly deformed like a textile surface element, as z. B. of a textile surface element is known, which can be rolled or folded or from which z. B. a bag or the like can be produced. Even if such a three-dimensional deformability is not provided in the context of the present proposal is to be expressed by the term "textile-like deformability" of the proposal for the surface eligible material that, for example, textile surface elements such as woven, knitted or the like, or that For example, films, or that, for example, a combination thereof in the form of fiber-reinforced films, can be used. The surface elements which can be used according to the proposal can, for example, be collectively referred to as tarpaulins. In the following, therefore, the starting material used is always referred to as a tarpaulin, regardless of whether it is a film, a textile element, or a fiber-reinforced film.

Die Mittellage kann vorzugsweise aus einem Metallblech bestehen, welches vergleichsweise steif und dementsprechend schlecht verformbar ist, und welches im Vergleich zu Kunststoffen einen besseren Schutz gegen Verbiss bietet. Es kann sich bei dem Metallblech um ein Aluminiumblech handeln, oder, wirtschaftlich vorteilhaft, um ein Stahlblech.The middle layer may preferably consist of a metal sheet, which comparatively stiff and accordingly is poorly deformable, and which offers better protection against bite compared to plastics. The metal sheet may be an aluminum sheet, or, advantageously, a steel sheet.

Die vordere Lage kann als vergleichsweise schmaler Streifen lediglich im unteren Bereich der Mittellage an dieser montiert sein. Vorteilhaft jedoch kann sie die gesamte Vorderseite der Mittellage abdecken, so dass ein möglichst einheitliches, unauffälliges optisches Erscheinungsbild des Spaltabdichtungselements unterstützt wird. Insbesondere kann die Farbgebung der vorderen Lage an die übrige Tür angepasst sein, nämlich entweder möglichst ähnlich, oder bewusst kontrastfarbig.The front layer can be mounted as a comparatively narrow strip only in the lower region of the middle layer at this. Advantageously, however, it can cover the entire front side of the middle layer, so that the most uniform, inconspicuous visual appearance of the gap sealing element is supported. In particular, the color scheme of the front layer can be adapted to the rest of the door, namely either as similar as possible, or deliberately contrasting color.

Vorteilhaft kann die vordere Lage als Folie ausgestaltet sein, die eine Faserverstärkung aufweist, und die aufgrund ihrer Materialstärke als Plane bezeichnet ist. In praktischen Versuchen haben sich beispielsweise sogenannte Lkw-Planen hervorragend bewährt, einerseits aufgrund ihrer Verschleißfestigkeit und andererseits aufgrund der wirtschaftlichen Verfügbarkeit.Advantageously, the front layer can be configured as a film, which has a fiber reinforcement, and which is referred to as a tarpaulin due to their material thickness. In practical tests, for example, so-called truck tarpaulins have proven to be extremely effective, on the one hand because of their wear resistance and on the other hand because of their economic availability.

Die magnetische Haftlage kann fest mit der Mittellage verbunden sein, so dass das Spaltabdichtungselement werkzeuglos an beispielsweise stählernen Türrahmen bzw. Türblättern/Türflügeln montiert werden kann. Die magnetische Haftlage kann jedoch als auch separates Bauteil ausgestaltet sein, so dass sie beispielsweise an einer nicht ferromagnetischen Schiebetür montiert werden kann und dann ihrerseits den magnetischen Halt der Mittellage ermöglicht, wenn diese aus einem ferromagnetischen Werkstoff besteht, z. B. in Form eines Stahlblechs.The magnetic adhesive layer can be firmly connected to the middle layer, so that the gap sealing element can be mounted without tools on, for example, steel door frames or door leaves / door wings. However, the magnetic adhesive layer can be configured as a separate component, so that it can be mounted, for example, on a non-ferromagnetic sliding door and then in turn allows the magnetic support of the central position, if it consists of a ferromagnetic material, for. B. in the form of a steel sheet.

Falls die magnetische Haftlage fest mit der Mittellage verbunden ist, kann eine Montage des Spaltabdichtungselements an einer nicht ferromagnetischen Schiebetür ermöglicht werden, indem eine zusätzliche Montageleiste verwendet wird. Die Montageleiste wird ihrerseits fest an der Schiebetür montiert, beispielsweise geklebt oder geschraubt. Die Montageleiste besteht aus einem ferromagnetischen Werkstoff, welcher mit der magnetischen Haftlage zusammenwirkt und dieser einen hervorragenden Halt bietet. Beispielsweise besteht die Montageleiste aus Stahlblech oder aus einem magnetischen Werkstoff, z. B. einer so genannten Magnetfolie, die in unterschiedlichen Materialstärken und Steifigkeiten handelsüblich ist. Die Vorteile, die Haftlage, die Mittellage sowie das Flächenelement des Spaltabdichtungselements auf der Tür verschieben zu können, werden bei Verwendung der zusätzlichen Montageleiste ebenfalls ermöglicht.If the magnetic adhesive layer is fixedly connected to the central layer, mounting of the gap sealing element on a non-ferromagnetic sliding door can be made possible by using an additional mounting rail. The mounting strip is in turn firmly mounted on the sliding door, for example glued or screwed. The mounting strip consists of a ferromagnetic material, which cooperates with the magnetic adhesive layer and this provides excellent grip. For example, the mounting rail made of sheet steel or a magnetic material, for. As a so-called magnetic film, which is commercially available in different thicknesses and stiffnesses. The advantages of being able to move the adhesive layer, the middle layer and the surface element of the gap sealing element on the door are also possible when using the additional mounting strip.

Die Verklebung der Montageleiste kann auf einfache Weise dadurch ermöglicht werden, dass die Montageleiste eine selbstklebende Rückseite aufweist. Die Verschraubung der Montageleiste kann dadurch vereinfacht werden, dass die Montageleiste Bohrungen aufweist die eine Schraubmontage ermöglichen, also hinsichtlich ihres Durchmessers und ihrer Anordnung bzw. Verteilung in der Montageleiste an die Aufnahme der Befestigungsschrauben angepasst sind.The bonding of the mounting strip can be easily made possible in that the mounting strip has a self-adhesive back. The screwing of the mounting strip can be simplified in that the mounting strip has holes which allow a screw mounting, so are adapted in terms of their diameter and their arrangement or distribution in the mounting bar to the recording of the mounting screws.

Vorschlagsgemäß ist das Spaltabdichtungselement als ein länglicher Streifen ausgestaltet. Dabei kann vorteilhaft das Spaltabdichtungselement an einem der beiden Enden dieses schmalen Streifens abgekantet sein, so dass dieses abgekantete Ende sich vor die Schmalkante des betreffenden Türblatts erstrecken kann. Hierdurch wird eine möglichst optimale Abdichtung des Spalts ermöglicht, nämlich nicht nur unterhalb der Schiebetür, sondern auch seitlich in dem unteren Bereich so hoch, wie sich das Spaltabdichtungselement am Türblatt erstreckt. Bei der erstmaligen Montage des Spaltabdichtungselements kann dies bewusst mit einem großen seitlichen Überstand am Türblatt montiert werden. Wenn die Schiebetür dann in ihre Schließstellung geführt wird, gerät das abgekantete Ende des Spaltabdichtungselements gegen ein Hindernis wie z.B. gegen ein zweites Türblatt der Schiebetür, oder einen Türrahmen, oder das Mauerwerk eines Gebäudes. Aufgrund der magnetischen Halterung wird das Spaltabdichtungselement auf der Schiebetür verschoben, so dass es in der Entstellung der Schiebetür dem erwähnten Hindernis spaltfrei anliegt. Hierdurch wird eine zusätzliche Abdichtung, insbesondere ein zusätzlicher Schutz beispielsweise gegen das Eindringen von Nagern bewirkt.According to the proposal, the gap sealing element is designed as an elongated strip. In this case, advantageously, the gap sealing element can be folded at one of the two ends of this narrow strip, so that this beveled end can extend in front of the narrow edge of the respective door leaf. In this way, the best possible sealing of the gap is made possible, namely not only below the sliding door, but also laterally in the lower region as high as the gap sealing element extends on the door leaf. When installing the gap sealing element for the first time, this can be deliberately mounted with a large lateral projection on the door leaf. When the sliding door is then guided into its closed position, the folded end of the gap sealing element against an obstruction such as against a second door leaf of the sliding door, or a door frame, or the masonry of a building. Due to the magnetic holder the gap sealing element is moved on the sliding door, so that it rests in the distortion of the sliding door the mentioned obstacle gap-free. As a result, an additional seal, in particular an additional protection, for example, against the intrusion of rodents is effected.

Dadurch, dass das vorschlagsgemäße Spaltabdichtungselement eine sehr geringe Aufbauhöhe auf dem Türblatt aufweist, beispielsweise lediglich etwa 2 mm, kann es auch bei Schiebetüren montiert werden, die in ein Fach eintauchen, welches dem Türblatt sehr eng anliegt. Ein solches Fach kann zum Beispiel zwischen einer Gebäudewand und einer Wandverkleidung geschaffen sein. Auch wenn eine Schiebetür mit zwei Türblättern vorgesehen ist, von denen eines beweglich und das andere entweder feststehend oder ebenfalls beweglich ist, so dass jedenfalls diese beiden Türblätter nicht stirnseitig aneinander stoßen, sondern parallel voreinander laufen, kann eine vorschlagsgemäße Spaltabdichtung in den meisten Fällen problemlos montiert werden, während Dichtungsbürsten häufig eine Aufbauhöhe gegenüber der Fläche des Türblatts von 1 cm oder mehr aufweisen.The fact that the proposed gap sealing element has a very low height on the door leaf, for example, only about 2 mm, it can also be mounted on sliding doors, which dip into a compartment which rests very closely to the door leaf. Such a compartment may for example be created between a building wall and a wall paneling. Even if a sliding door is provided with two door leaves, one of which is movable and the other either fixed or also movable, so that in any case these two leaves do not abut each other frontally, but run parallel to each other, a proposed gap seal can be mounted easily in most cases while seal brushes often have a build-up height from the face of the door panel of 1 cm or more.

Die Erfindung wird anhand der rein schematischen Darstellungen nachfolgend näher erläutert. Dabei zeigt

Fig. 1
ein erstes Ausführungsbeispiel eines Spaltabdichtungselements in perspektivische Ansicht von schräg oben, und

The invention will be explained in more detail below with reference to the purely schematic illustrations. It shows
Fig. 1
a first embodiment of a Spaltabdichtungselements in perspective view obliquely from above, and
Fig. 2
a gap sealing arrangement in which a second embodiment of a gap sealing element is used.

In den Zeichnungen ist mit 1 jeweils ein Spaltabdichtungselement bezeichnet, welches eine metallische Mittellage 2 in Form eines Stahlblech aufweist, sowie eine rückseitige magnetische Haftlage 3, die als Magnetfolie ausgestaltet ist. Vorn weist das Spaltabdichtungselement 1 ein textilartig verformbares Flächenelement 4 auf, welches bei den dargestellten Ausführungsbeispielen jeweils als LKW-Plane ausgestaltet ist. Das Spaltabdichtungselement 1 ist insgesamt als länglicher Streifen ausgestaltet, welcher an einem seiner beiden Stirnenden einen abgekanteten Bereich 5 aufweist.In the drawings, 1 each denotes a gap sealing element, which has a metallic center layer 2 in the form of a steel sheet, and a rear magnetic adhesive layer 3, which is designed as a magnetic sheet. At the front, the gap sealing element 1 has a textile-like deformable surface element 4, which is configured in the illustrated embodiments in each case as a truck tarpaulin. Overall, the gap sealing element 1 is configured as an elongated strip which has a bevelled area 5 at one of its two front ends.

Bei dem Ausführungsbeispiel der Fig. 1 erstreckt sich das Flächenelement 4 als schmaler Streifen nur über einen geringen Teil der Höhe der metallischen Mittellage 2. Es ragt über die Mittellage 2 hinaus um etwa 0,5 cm nach unten.In the embodiment of the Fig. 1 extends the surface element 4 as a narrow strip only over a small part of the height of the metallic center layer 2. It protrudes beyond the central layer 2 by about 0.5 cm down.

In Fig. 2 ist eine Spaltabdichtungsanordnung dargestellt welche 2 Schiebetüren 6 aufweist, wobei diese beiden Schiebetüren 6 auch als eine Schiebetüranlage mit 2 Türblättern bezeichnet werden kann. Beide Schiebetüren 6 weisen einen metallischen Rahmen 7 auf, der aus Stahl besteht, sowie eine in dem Rahmen 7 gehaltene Türfüllung 8, beispielsweise aus Glas. Die beiden Schiebetüren 6 laufen bei dem dargestellten Ausführungsbeispiel nicht parallel voreinander, sondern in derselben Ebene wahlweise auseinander in eine Offenstellung oder zueinander in die in Fig. 2 dargestellte Schließstellung.In Fig. 2 a gap sealing arrangement is shown which has 2 sliding doors 6, wherein these two sliding doors 6 can also be referred to as a sliding door system with 2 door leaves. Both sliding doors 6 have a metallic frame 7, which consists of steel, and held in the frame 7 door panel 8, for example made of glass. The two sliding doors 6 do not run parallel to each other in the illustrated embodiment, but in the same plane optionally apart in an open position or each other in the in Fig. 2 illustrated closed position.

Jede der beiden Schiebetüren ist mit einem Spaltabdichtungselement 1 versehen, welches vor dem unteren, horizontalen Abschnitt des jeweiligen Rahmens 7 montiert ist und mit seiner magnetischen Haftlage 3 unmittelbar an dem Rahmen 7 gehalten ist. Die beiden abgekanteten Bereiche 5 befinden sich vor den zueinander gewandten Stirnseiten der beiden Schiebetüren 6 und liegen einander spaltfrei an.Each of the two sliding doors is provided with a gap sealing element 1, which is mounted in front of the lower, horizontal portion of the respective frame 7 and is held with its magnetic adhesive layer 3 directly to the frame 7. The two bevelled areas 5 are located in front of the mutually facing end faces of the two sliding doors 6 and lie against each other without a gap.

Die textilartig verformbaren Flächenelemente 4 erstrecken sich jeweils vollflächig vor den Mittellagen 2 der beiden Spaltabdichtungselemente 1. Mit ihrem Überstand, der nach unten über die Mittellage 2 hinausragt, und in welchem die beiden Flächenelemente 4 gebogen verlaufen, liegen die Flächenelemente 4 abdichtend auf einem Boden 9 auf.The textile-like deformable surface elements 4 each extend over the entire surface in front of the middle layers 2 of the two gap sealing elements 1. With their projection projecting downwards over the middle layer 2, and in which the two surface elements 4 are curved, the surface elements 4 sealingly rest on a base 9 on.
