The invention has for its object to provide a sealing device which allows in a particularly simple and reliable manner a seal of a building closure device.

This object is achieved by a sealing device and by a building closure device with the features of the independent claims. Advantageous embodiments with expedient and non-trivial developments of the invention are specified in the dependent claims.

The invention provides a sealing device for a building closure device for sealing a gap between a building closure element and a bottom area of an opening to be closed by the building closure element. By "sealing" is meant in particular a closing or filling of the gap. By "gap" is meant in particular a gap between the floor area and the building closure element, in particular a narrow, elongated opening forming the gap. The building closure device is, for example, a door or a gate, in particular a Sectional door, particularly preferably a garage door. Accordingly, the building closure element is in particular a door leaf or a door leaf. The sealing device comprises a sealing threshold region, which has at least one cavity. In other words, the sealing device may have a hollow chamber or a channel in the sealing swell area. The cavity extends, in particular at least partially, that is, completely or partially, in a main extension direction of the sealing threshold region. By main extension direction is meant in particular a longitudinal direction or length of the sealing device. In other words, the cavity may extend or expand at least partially over the length of the seal swelling area. The cavity is further limited by walls of the sealing threshold area. The walls may be formed as webs. In other words, webs can narrow or form the hollow chamber of the sealing threshold region. Furthermore, at least one wall has at least one groove on a side or surface facing the cavity, which groove extends in the main extension direction of the sealing threshold region. By "groove" is meant in particular a groove or a depression. In particular, the groove has a semicircular or rectangular or triangular shape or contour in cross section. Furthermore, the sealing device has a sealing contact region adjoining the sealing threshold region. In particular, the Dichtungsauflagebereich is designed as a pad or a support on which or something rests or on which or something can be placed. In other words, the sealing device is subdivided into at least two elements or regions-the sealing threshold region and the sealing contact region-which receive, in particular, different functions of the sealing device. Preferably, the sealing device is in one piece or in one piece, that is formed from a part or piece formed.

By subdividing the sealing device into different functional areas, the sealing device can fulfill several functions simultaneously. The cavity in the sealing threshold region of the sealing device has the advantage that material can thereby be saved in the production of the sealing device, whereby the Manufacturing method of the sealing device is designed particularly economical. Furthermore, the formation of the cavity has the advantage that when crossing over the sealing device, for example with a motor vehicle, a significantly lower resistance is to be taken. The groove on the side facing the cavity of the walls has the advantage that, for example, when crossing with a motor vehicle, the sealing threshold area is defined and uniformly deformed.

An advantageous embodiment provides that two mutually adjoining walls of the walls of the Dichtungsschwellbereichs are arranged to each other such that the at least two walls form a bead. By "bead" is meant in particular a thickening or elevation or a formation or a threshold. In particular, the at least two walls can be arranged against each other such that the sealing threshold region is triangular in cross-section. In other words, the at least two walls of the sealing threshold region are arranged adjacent to one another in such a way that the sealing threshold region has a triangular contour or a triangular profile in cross section. In particular, the sealing threshold region may have a prismatic shape. Particularly preferably, the arrangement of the two walls of the cavity also has a trick-shaped contour or shape. Due to the formation of a triangular contour in cross section, the at least two walls are not specially designed, whereby the sealing threshold region is particularly easy to provide. Alternatively, the at least two walls can be arranged against one another in such a way that the sealing threshold region is rectangular or semicircular in cross section. Other contours in cross section are conceivable.

Advantageously, a first wall of the two adjoining walls is inclined at a predetermined angle between 30 ° and 60 °, preferably between 35 ° and 55 °, more preferably of 40 ° to a vertical direction of the Dichtungsschwellbereichs. Additionally or alternatively, the first wall may be at a predetermined angle to a width direction or a transverse plane of the sealing device or the sealing threshold region be arranged inclined. In this case, the first wall may be arranged at a predetermined angle between 30 ° and 60 °, preferably between 35 ° and 55 °, inclined to the width direction. Particularly preferably, the first wall is inclined at the predetermined angle of 50 ° to the width direction.

Preferably, a second wall of the two adjoining walls is arranged at a predetermined angle between 40 ° and 60 °, preferably between 50 ° and 55 °, more preferably inclined by 52 ° to the vertical direction of the Dichtungsschwellbereichs. Additionally or alternatively, the second wall may be inclined at a predetermined, in particular second, angle to the width direction or the transverse plane of the sealing device or the sealing threshold region. In this case, the second wall may be arranged at a predetermined angle between 30 ° and 60 ° inclined to the width direction. Particularly preferably, the second wall is inclined at the predetermined angle of 38 ° to the width direction. Furthermore, the two adjoining walls can define or enclose an angle between 80 ° and 100 °, in particular between 85 ° and 95 °, particularly preferably of 92 °. Particularly preferably, the first wall of the two adjoining walls is arranged at a predetermined angle between 70 ° and 90 °, particularly preferably of 76 °, inclined to the bottom region or a bottom surface of the sealing device.

According to an advantageous development, it is provided that the sealing threshold region in each case has a groove on the first wall and the second wall of the two adjoining walls on the side or surface facing the cavity. Particularly preferably, the respective groove is arranged centrally on the corresponding wall, ie the first wall and the second wall, and preferably extends in the main extension direction of the sealing threshold region. Additionally or alternatively, it can be provided that a vertex of the first wall and the second wall of the two adjoining walls has a groove on the side facing the cavity. By "vertex" is meant in particular the point or a point at which the first wall and the second wall adjoin or meet one another. The grooves allow the seal swelling area to have a plurality of bending zones. By means of the corresponding arrangement of the grooves, a uniform and / or defined deformation can be achieved in the case of a force acting on the sealing threshold region, for example during a passage through a motor vehicle over the sealing threshold region. As a result, the sealing threshold region and thus the sealing device is designed to be particularly stable and withstands external influences particularly reliably.

A further advantageous embodiment provides that the sealing device has a height of less than 20 mm, particularly preferably 17.5 mm. In particular, the height extends in a vertical direction of the sealing device, preferably perpendicular to the main extension direction of the sealing device. Particularly preferably, the sealing threshold region of the sealing device is designed to be higher than the sealing contact region. Preferably, the maximum height of the sealing device is measured from a bottom surface of the sealing device, in particular perpendicularly, to the vertex of the sealing threshold region. By forming the height of the sealing device of less than 20 mm accessibility is ensured. Due to the flat design, the sealing device has little effect on a sealing device driving over the motor vehicle. Furthermore, it can be ensured by the flat design of the sealing device that people do not hang on exceeding the sealing device on the sealing device, in particular on the Dichtungsschwellbereich. Thus, the sealing device is designed to be particularly safe and reliable.

Advantageously, the sealing contact area comprises two pitch areas, wherein the first pitch area adjoins the second wall of the seal threshold area, the first pitch area having a smaller pitch than the second wall of the seal threshold area, the second pitch area being adjacent to the first pitch area, the second pitch area has a greater slope than the first slope area. In other words, the seal seating area is in at least two areas - the first slope area and the second Slope area- divided, which have different slopes. By "slope" is meant in particular that the respective slope areas have a sloping or descending or tilted or inclined or oblique plane or surface, which defines in particular the slope or the respective slope area. The corresponding plane may be arranged opposite the bottom surface of the sealing device. The respective gradient regions preferably have a shape in the form of a cone. Preferably, the sealing contact area is formed in one piece or in one piece. In particular, the sealing contact area has the same length as the sealing threshold area. In particular, the first slope region and the second gradient region extend perpendicular to the main extension direction, that is to say in particular in a width direction of the sealing device. In this case, in particular the first gradient region is wider than the second gradient region.

The walls of the sealing threshold region preferably have a wall thickness of between 2 mm and 10 mm, in particular between 3 mm and 7 mm. Particularly preferably, the walls at the vertex at which in particular the first wall and the second wall adjacent to each other have a wall thickness of 3 mm. This results in the advantage that the Dichtungsschwellbereich is particularly stable, but still flexible, especially in a crossing of the motor vehicle over the Dichtungsschwellbereich formed.

A further advantageous embodiment provides that the sealing contact area, in particular the first pitch area of the sealing contact area, has a groove which extends in the main direction of extent of the sealing contact area. In other words, the groove can extend at least partially, that is, completely or partially, in the main extension direction. The groove is preferably arranged on a surface of the sealing contact area facing away from the bottom region or the bottom surface of the sealing device. In particular, the groove is disposed on the plane or surface of the seal pad portion having the slope. In this case, the groove extends at least partially, ie completely or partially, in the main direction of the sealing pad area. Particularly preferably, the groove extends continuously along the sealing contact area. By "groove" is meant in particular a groove or a depression. The groove is used in particular for attaching screws and gives the user a certain stability, in particular during assembly, whereby the assembly of the sealing device can be facilitated.

According to an advantageous development, it is provided that the sealing device, in particular the sealing contact area and the sealing threshold area in common, have a sealing bottom area, wherein the sealing floor area, which faces the bottom area in particular, has a plurality of depressions, wherein the depressions are arranged at a predetermined distance from one another. In other words, the sealing device may have depressions or hollow chambers or channels on the underside, or the depressions or the hollow chambers may be formed on the underside. In particular, the depressions are arranged side by side along the bottom region, in particular perpendicular to the main extension direction of the sealing device, that is to say in particular in the width direction. Preferably, the depressions are U-shaped, in particular in cross-section, formed. The recesses may also have another shape, such as a trapezoidal or triangular shape or rectangular shape or contour, in particular in cross-section. In particular, the depressions together with the bottom region, on which the sealing device is arranged, each form a hollow chamber or a channel. Furthermore, a surface of the sealing bottom region facing the bottom region, in particular the bottom surface, may have a predetermined surface roughness, in particular grooves or notches. By the recesses and / or the surface roughness, there is the advantage that, in particular during assembly of the sealing device in a particularly simple and reliable manner, an adhesive material, such as adhesive, for attaching or mounting the sealing device can be introduced to the bottom area.

Preferably, the seal bottom portion may have an end face or end surface which is inclined to the width direction at a predetermined angle. In particular, the front side can be bevelled. In this case, the end face of the sealing bottom region can be arranged at a predetermined angle between 90 ° and 120 °, preferably between 100 ° and 110 °, particularly preferably at 104 °, in particular away from the bottom region or towards the width direction. Additionally or alternatively, the seal bottom region may have an end face or end face opposite the end face, which has a smaller pitch than the end face.

Advantageously, the sealing device of an elastic material, in particular rubber, particularly preferably ethylene-propylene-diene rubber, which may also be referred to briefly as EPDM, is formed. Due to the formation of the sealing device made of rubber, the sealing device is designed to be particularly robust. Furthermore, ethylene-propylene-diene rubber has the advantage that it is highly flexible in the cold and also UV-resistant and durable.

The invention also includes a building closure device. The building closure device comprises a building closure element. The building closure device is, for example, a door or a gate, in particular a sectional door, particularly preferably a garage door. Accordingly, the building closure element is in particular a door leaf or a door leaf. The building closure device further comprises a sealing device, which is configured to seal a gap between the building closure element and a bottom area of an opening to be closed by the building closure element. In particular, the floor area is flat or flat. Since the sealing device is disposed on the bottom portion, it may also be referred to as a bottom seal. The sealing device further comprises a sealing threshold region, which has at least one cavity, wherein the cavity extends in a main direction of extension of the sealing threshold region. The cavity is bounded by walls of the sealing threshold, wherein at least one wall on a The cavity-facing side or surface has at least one groove which extends in the main extension direction of the Dichtungsschwellbereichs. Furthermore, the sealing device comprises a sealing contact area adjoining the sealing threshold region.

In an advantageous manner, in a closed position of the building closure element in which the building closure element closes the opening, the building closure element rests on the seal seating area. In particular, a contact surface of the sealing contact area is larger than the area of the building closure element, which rests on the sealing contact area. Preferably, the sealing device extends over a length of the building closure element. Additionally or alternatively, in the closed position of the building closure element, in which the building closure element closes the opening, the sealing threshold area adjoins a building closure element width side of the building closure element. In particular, in the closed position of the building closure element, the sealing threshold area lies against a surface or side, which corresponds in particular to a width side of the building closure element. In this way, it can be ensured that liquid present at the building closure element, for example pending water, can be kept away from the building, for example the garage. Accordingly, the seal threshold area can also be referred to as a storm threshold.

An advantageous embodiment provides that a width of the sealing device is adapted to a width of the frame feet of the building closure device. In other words, the sealing device, in particular the end faces of the sealing device, which abut the Zargenfüßen be matched to a profile width of the Zargenfüße. Preferably, the respective Zargenfüße an abutment region to which the sealing device with its end faces at least partially rests on. By "Zargenfuß" is meant in particular a arranged on the bottom portion or portion or region of a frame spar. According to an advantageous development, it is provided that the sealing device is fixed to the bottom region by means of a fastening device, wherein the fastening device comprises screws and / or an adhesive material, in particular a mounting-layer adhesive. Particularly preferably, the sealing profile, which is designed in particular as a rubber profile, glued to the bottom region with a mounting adhesive. Additionally or alternatively, it can be provided that additional screw connections, for example by means of stainless steel screws, are used for fastening the sealing device to the floor area. The additional provision of the screws to the mounting sealant has the advantage that thereby the sealing device is fixed particularly reliable, since the mounting adhesive can settle or shrink over time and this can lead to losses in the fixation and thus stability. Alternatively, the sealing device can also be clipped to the floor area.

The invention also includes developments of the building closure device according to the invention, which have features as they have already been described in connection with the developments of the sealing device according to the invention. For this reason, the corresponding developments of the building closure device according to the invention are not described here again.

In the figures, identical or functionally identical elements are provided with the same reference numerals.

In the context of Fig. 1 to Fig. 3 a sealing device 10 for a building closure device will be explained in more detail. The sealing device 10 is configured to seal a gap between a building closure element of a building closure device and a bottom area of an opening to be closed by the building closure element. The building closure device may be, for example, a garage door. In particular, the garage door is designed as a sectional door. The building closure element may be a door leaf of the garage door. If the garage door is designed as a sectional door, then the door leaf of the garage door can have a plurality of louvres or panels, in particular hinged to each other. The number of panels and their width may vary depending on the width of the opening to be closed. The sealing device 10 is particularly adapted to the width of the opening to be closed, particularly preferably fitted accurately.

The sealing device 10 comprises a sealing threshold region 12, a sealing contact region 14 adjoining the sealing threshold region 12, and a sealing bottom region 16. The sealing device 10 has different regions, but is formed in one piece or in one piece. As Fig. 1 and Fig. 2 is to take, has the Dichtungsschwellbereich 12 a cavity 18. The sealing threshold region 12 and the cavity 18 provided therein extend in a main extension direction of the sealing swell region 12. The main direction of extension corresponds in particular to a length of the sealing device 10. The length of the sealing device 10 is adapted in particular to the width of the opening. In relation to Fig. 1 and Fig. 2 the main extension direction extends perpendicularly into the plane of the drawing.

The cavity 18 is bounded by at least two walls 20, 22 of the Dichtungsschwellbereichs 12. In particular, the cavity 18, which may also be referred to as a hollow chamber or channel, passes through at least two walls 20, 22 surrounded or formed. Preferably, a portion or portion of the sealing bottom portion 16 of the sealing device 10 forms a further wall 24 of the Dichtungsschwellbereichs 12. In particular, the cavity 18 by three adjacent walls 20, 22, 24 bounded or bordered.

Furthermore, the sealing threshold region 12 has a first groove 26 on one of the first wall 20 of the two adjoining walls 20, 22 on a surface or side of the first wall 20 facing the cavity 18.

The first wall 20 and the second wall of the at least two adjoining walls 20, 22 are arranged in such a way that the sealing threshold region 12 is triangular in cross section. Furthermore, the cavity 18 also has a triangular shape in cross-section. The third wall 24 forms in particular a base of the triangular sealing threshold region 12. The cavity 18 may also have another shape, for example a rectangular or round or elliptical or polygonal shape.

In relation to Fig. 2 should be discussed in more detail on the geometry of the Dichtungsschwellbereichs 12. The first wall 20 is inclined at a predetermined angle α to a width direction or a transverse plane of the sealing device 12. In this case, the first wall 20 at the predetermined angle α between 30 ° and 60 °, preferably be arranged between 35 ° and 55 °. Particularly preferably, the first wall 20 is inclined at the predetermined angle α of 50 ° to the width direction. Relative to a vertical direction, which extends in particular perpendicular to the main extension direction or width direction, the first wall 20 at a further predetermined angle between 30 ° and 60 °, preferably between 35 ° and 55 °, more preferably from 40 ° to the vertical direction of the Dichtungsschwellbereichs 12 may be arranged inclined. The second wall 22 is inclined at a predetermined, in particular second, angle β to the width direction or the transverse plane of the sealing device 12. In this case, the second wall 22 may be arranged at a predetermined angle β between 30 ° and 60 ° inclined to the width direction. Particularly preferably, the second wall is inclined at the predetermined angle β of 38 ° to the width direction. Relative to the vertical direction, the second wall 22 can be inclined at a further predetermined angle between 40 ° and 60 °, preferably between 50 ° and 55 °, particularly preferably 52 ° to the vertical direction of the sealing threshold region 12.

In this case, the end face 34 of the sealing base region 16 can be arranged at a predetermined angle γ between 90 ° and 120 °, preferably between 100 ° and 110 °, particularly preferably at 104 °, in particular away from the bottom region or towards the width direction.

Furthermore, the sealing device 10 has a predetermined height H in a vertical direction of the sealing device 10. The height H of the sealing device 10 is less than 20 mm. Preferably, the Sealing device has a height H of 17.5 mm. Further, the seal bottom portion 16 in the vertical direction of the sealing device 10 has a predetermined height h. The height h of the sealing bottom region 16 is in particular between 2 mm and 10 mm, in particular between 3 mm and 7 mm, preferably 5.5 mm. Furthermore, the first wall 20 and the second wall 22 have a wall thickness between 2 mm and 10 mm, in particular between 3 mm and 7 mm. The first wall and the second wall, which adjoin one another at the apex 30, preferably have a wall thickness of 3 mm. The third wall 24 of the bottom region 16 has in particular the height h of the sealing bottom region 16.

In Fig. 3 the sealing bottom region 16 is shown enlarged in a cross-sectional view. The seal bottom region 16 has a plurality of depressions 36. The depressions 36 are arranged on a surface or side of the sealing device 10 facing away from the cavity 18 and / or the sealing contact area 14. The depressions 36 are arranged next to one another at a predetermined distance from one another along the sealing base region, in particular in the width direction. The recesses extend in the main direction of extent of the sealing device 10. Furthermore, the recesses 36 have a U-shaped or rectangular or square shape or contour, in particular in cross-section. In other words, the recesses are U-shaped or rectangular and extend in the main extension direction of the sealing device 10. Overall, the sealing device 10 has five recesses 36. However, the sealing device 10 may also have more or less than 5 recesses 36. Furthermore, a surface facing the bottom region, in particular a bottom surface of the sealing device 10, of the sealing bottom region 16 has a predetermined surface roughness or further grooves. The surface roughness is formed in particular by further grooves 38.

The sealing contact area 14 is wedge-shaped. In addition, the sealing contact area 14 comprises two pitch areas 40, 42. A first pitch area 40 adjoins the second wall 22 of FIG Seal threshold 12 at. The first slope region 40 has a smaller pitch than the second wall 22 of the sealing threshold region. The second slope region 42 adjoins the first slope region 40. The second pitch region 42 has a greater pitch than the first pitch region 40. In other words, the seal pad region 14 is divided into at least two regions-the first slope region 40 and the second slope region 42-which have different slopes. In particular, the first slope region 40 and the second slope region 42 extend perpendicular to the main extension direction, as in the width direction. In this case, in particular, the first pitch area 40 is formed longer in the width direction than the second pitch area 42. In other words, the first pitch area 40 is wider than the second pitch area 42.

Further, the seal pad portion 14 has a groove 43 extending in the main extension direction of the seal pad portion 14. In other words, the groove 43 may extend at least partially, that is, completely or partially, in the main extension direction.
