Description

The present invention relates to a device for locking a pivotable device, such as a door, a window or the like, as well as an arrangement for locking a pivotable device on a door or on a window.

Devices of the type in question are known from the prior art. In the prior art, for example, there are door arresters which are designed in the form of a body which is fixed by means of a screw on the abutment, i.e. the (floor) floor, against which the door strikes. In addition, door arresters are known which are fastened to the door or the door leaf by means of screws. They are actuated by moving a locking bolt in the direction of the abutment until it engages with the abutment. The problem with these devices, however, is that the screwing on the abutment or the door leaf causes damage in the form of drill holes. In addition, it is particularly problematic in the case of the door arrester fastened to the door leaf that areas around the door arrester become soiled due to the actuation of the door arrester.

The GB 2 265 937 A and the U.S. 541,783 A disclose a door stopper in which a linearly movable stop element can be displaced via a pivotable lever.

The DE 297 14 788 U1 and the U.S. 4,673,203 A show a device for securing an inwardly opening door.

It is an object of the present invention to provide a device for locking a pivotable device, such as a door, a window or the like, as well as a corresponding arrangement of a device for locking a pivotable device on a door or a window, which is easy to operate, is operationally reliable in the way it works and it can be attached without causing damage to the door or window.

This object is achieved by a device for locking a pivotable device, such as a door, a window or the like, with the features of claim 1 and by an arrangement of a device for locking a pivotable device, such as a door, a window or the like a door or a window with the features of claim 15. Preferred embodiments emerge from the dependent claims.

According to the invention, a device for locking a pivotable device, such as a door of a window or the like, according to claim 1 is provided. The device can thus be designed as a locking device and is used to fix the position of a pivotable device. In this respect, the device can not only act like a door stop in a specific position of the pivotable device, but can also act in any position or angle setting of the pivotable device. Unlike door closers or door openers, however, the locking device does not exert any force on the pivotable device in its opening or closing direction, so that the locking device according to the invention differs from a door closer or door opener with regard to the forces acting on it. ie a door leaf or leaf or a window or its sash. It goes without saying that the device can also be used on similar elements that are pivotable. In order to fasten the device to the pivotable device, it has a fastening unit which is designed to enable the device to be fixed or mounted or attached to an edge of the pivotable device. When the pivotable device is designed as a door or window, it has a circumferential, face-oriented surface which forms the edge. Furthermore, the device has a stopper unit which is used to be brought into engagement with an abutment. The abutment is preferably the floor in the case of a door or a window sill in the case of a window. The engagement of the stopper unit with the abutment has the effect that a displacement of the pivotable device is prevented. The engagement of the stopper unit with the abutment is in particular positive and / or non-positive and / or frictional. Furthermore, an actuation unit is provided which is mounted on the fastening unit. The mounting is designed in such a way that the actuating unit can be rotated or pivoted in relation to the fastening unit, ie the mounting is expediently designed as a pivot bearing. Furthermore, an operative connection is provided between the actuation unit and the stopper unit in such a way that a rotational displacement of the actuation unit leads to a translational displacement of the stopper unit. The translational displacement of the stopper unit follows a line, expediently along a straight line. The actuation unit and the stopper unit are expediently connected to one another directly or indirectly in such a way that a displacement of the actuation unit leads to a displacement of the stopper unit. The displacement of the stopper unit is expediently oriented in a direction towards the abutment, so that the stopper unit can be brought into engagement with the abutment.

The fastening unit is expediently designed in such a way that it can be brought into contact with one another in a supporting manner on two opposite surfaces of the pivotable device. The opposite surfaces of the pivotable device are - in particular when designed as a door leaf - the door leaf surfaces that are spaced apart from one another and oriented in opposite directions. In this respect, the frontally oriented edge of the pivotable device is arranged on the outer circumference of the opposite surfaces of the pivotable device. Of particular advantage is that the fastening unit is designed in such a way that it can be brought into contact with the two opposite surfaces in a supporting manner. In other words, the device for fixing the pivotable device can be fixed on the opposite surfaces by means of the fastening unit, in that the fastening unit introduces oppositely oriented forces on the opposite surfaces and thus clamps the device on the pivotable device.

According to the invention, the fastening unit has a support element and a counter element which can be displaced, preferably translationally, relative to one another in such a way that the pivotable device can be clamped with or between them. The support element has a plate-shaped base, the extent of which is greater than the distance between the two opposite surfaces of the pivotable device. A holding area protrudes from the base of the support element, on which the counter element can be fixed or mounted in such a way that the counter element can be displaced in relation to the support element. The direction of displacement is preferably parallel to the extension of the base. In an advantageous embodiment, the holding area is designed in such a way that it can receive a bolt or a screw which is connected to the counter element or is supported on it. A nut can be guided on the bolt or screw, the position of which in the displacement direction of the counter element relative to the support element is unchangeable or fixed or held by the holding area. The screw or the bolt can be formed in a circumferentially closed through hole of the holding area or in a U-shaped recess that is open to the outside. The holding area can be designed in such a way that it is formed by two walls which are spaced apart from one another in the direction of displacement and between which a nut is or can be arranged. The counter element is designed in such a way that - in the assembled state of the device - it is arranged between the pivotable device and the holding area of the support element. Thus, when the counter element is displaced away from the holding area, the width of the space for the pivotable device in the support element can be reduced in such a way that the pivotable device can be clamped between the counter element and the support element. In other In other words, the support element engages with one of the opposite surfaces of the pivotable device and the counter element with the other of the opposite surfaces of the pivotable device.

According to the invention, the support element has a support surface for contact with one of the opposite surfaces, the counter element advantageously having a contact surface for contact with the other of the opposite surfaces, the support surface and the contact surface being oriented essentially parallel to one another, and the support surface preferably in can be arranged or arranged at a distance between 30 mm and 55 mm from the contact surface. According to the invention, the support surface of the support element protrudes transversely from the base of the support element. The support surface can advantageously be inclined at an angle between 85 ° and 89 ° to the base in such a way that the free end of the support surface is inclined towards the holding area. This ensures an even more secure attachment of the support element to the pivotable device. The counter element has a contact surface essentially opposite the support surface. The support surface and the contact surface are advantageously aligned essentially parallel to one another. "Essentially parallel" here means that deviations of up to 5 ° are also to be understood under "essentially parallel", which is caused in particular by a non-right-angled arrangement of the support surface to the base of the support element. Additionally or alternatively, however, the contact surface of the counter element can also be arranged in such a way that its free end, which is further spaced from the base of the support element, is inclined towards the support surface of the support element. Here, too, the inclination of the contact surface of the counter element to the base of the support element can be at an angle between 85 ° and 89 °. The support surface and the contact surface are at a distance that is bridged by the base of the support element. The distance is advantageously between 30 mm and 55 mm, particularly preferably between 37 mm and 50 mm. In this way, a great flexibility with regard to the thickness or strength of the pivotable device on which the device is arranged can be made possible in a particularly advantageous manner.

A friction-increasing layer is advantageously provided on the support surface and / or the contact surface. The layer can extend over the entire support surface and / or contact surface. Advantageously, however, particularly in the case of the contact surface, the layer extends only over a large number of smaller individual areas. The friction-increasing layer can be designed as a materially bonded coating with the support and / or contact surface or as separate elements. Likewise, the friction-increasing layer can also be designed in such a way that the support and / or contact surface is subjected to a surface treatment or is equipped with a specific surface geometry.

According to the invention, the counter element of the device according to the invention has a guide area for translational or linear or rectilinear displacement of the stopper unit, the guide area preferably being designed as opposing edges delimiting a slot. The guide area thus ensures that the stopper unit can only be displaced along a straight direction and that it is prevented from being displaced transversely thereto in other directions. For this purpose, the guide area can be designed in such a way that it is formed by edges which are provided on the fastening unit and particularly preferably the counter element and which delimit a slot. The edges or the slot particularly expediently extend essentially perpendicular to the base of the support element. It is particularly advantageous if the edges are formed essentially parallel to one another in order to thus form a guide for the stopper unit.

The fastening unit, in particular the counter element and the actuation unit, are preferably mounted pivotably or rotatably to one another and / or to one another via a fastening unit bearing area of the fastening unit, in particular the counter element, and via a first actuating unit bearing area of the actuating unit. The actuating unit is thus fixed pivotably on the fastening unit. The actuating unit is particularly preferably mounted pivotably on the counter element. The actuation unit has an actuation unit storage area. This can be designed as an exception for an axis, a shaft or - seen in cross section - segments of a round profile. Correspondingly, the fastening unit-bearing area can be used as a shaft, axle or - Seen in cross section - segments of a round profile can be formed. It goes without saying that a reverse arrangement on the fastening unit and actuating unit can also be provided. The first actuation unit bearing area and the fastening unit bearing area form a pivot or rotation axis for a rotational displacement of the actuation unit.

In the arrangement according to the invention, a lever element is provided which is pivotably or rotatably mounted on the actuating unit and the stopper unit. The lever element thus expediently represents an operative connection between the actuation unit and the stopper unit and, in particular, brings about a conversion of a rotational movement of the actuation unit into a straight or translational movement of the stopper unit. The lever element can in particular be designed in the form of a toggle lever or, together with the actuating unit, can form a toggle lever arrangement. The lever element has a first lever element bearing area for connection to the actuating unit and a second lever element bearing area for connection to the stopper unit. For example, the first lever element bearing area can be a circumferentially closed recess or a projection forming a pin or bolt which engages or can engage in a corresponding recess in the actuating unit. The second lever element bearing area can also be designed as a projection protruding towards the stopper unit or, alternatively, as a recess which is either closed circumferentially or forms a segment of a circle and is therefore not closed circumferentially, but rather has a slot through which a bolt or screw is inserted The recess can be introduced radially from the outside.

The lever element is expediently formed from two non-linear, in particular L-shaped, legs which are connected to one another at one of their distal ends via a connecting section. Thus, the first lever element bearing area can be formed between the distal ends of the legs, while the second lever element bearing area is provided at a distal end of the legs opposite the connecting section. The legs can be curved, for example. In a preferred embodiment, the legs are essentially L-shaped.

The stopper device preferably has a guide section by means of which a translational guide between the stopper unit and the fastening unit, in particular the counter element, is effected. The guide section of the stopper unit can in particular be designed in such a way that it is formed from two opposing or oppositely directed recesses or grooves. The edges forming the guide area of the counter element can engage in the recesses or grooves, so that it is ensured that a displacement of the stop element relative to the fastening unit, in particular the counter element, is only possible along a direction which is preferably perpendicular to the base of the support element . In particular, the interaction between the guide section of the stopper unit and the guide area of the fastening unit can ensure that the stopper element cannot shift in a direction parallel to or with a component parallel to the direction in which the base of the support element extends relative to the fastening unit or counter element.

The guide section of the stopper unit is advantageously designed as a slide which can be guided or guided in the guide area of the fastening unit. The guide section embodied as a slide can thus, in particular, engage in the edges of the fastening unit, in particular of the counter element, which define the guide area.

The stopper unit preferably has an elastic stopper element which is preferably designed in the shape of a wedge. The stopper element can for example be formed from an elastic or resilient material, for example a rubber. It is particularly advantageous if the stopper element is wedge-shaped in such a way that the stopper element tapers in a direction directed from the support surface of the support element towards its holding area. In this respect, the part of the stopper element that is closest to the support surface of the support element is thickest or strongest. This advantageously enables the contact surface for the abutment to be positioned as close as possible to the pivotable device or the opposite surfaces of the pivotable device.

The stopper unit of the arrangement according to the invention has a stopper unit storage area for one or the lever element, the position of the stopper unit storage area on the stopper unit being changeable. The stopper unit storage area serves to accommodate the second lever element storage area of the lever element. In other words, the second lever element bearing area and the stopper unit bearing area define an axis of rotation about which the lever element can be pivoted relative to the stopper unit.

The stopper unit bearing area is preferably formed on a spindle nut which engages in a rotatable spindle of the stopper unit. The spindle can in particular be designed as a screw which extends essentially perpendicular to the extension of the base of the support element. The spindle is fixed to the stopper unit or a base body of the stopper unit in two opposite areas, preferably two opposite end areas, in such a way that the spindle can be rotated about its own axis, but its position on the stopper unit cannot be displaced. The spindle nut on which the stopper unit bearing area is provided is advantageously guided on the spindle. The connection of the spindle nut to the actuation unit via the lever element prevents the spindle nut from rotating. In a preferred embodiment, the spindle nut has a configuration on its outer circumference by means of which it is guided on the stopper unit, in particular the base body, in such a way that it can move along the longitudinal axis of the spindle, but cannot be rotated about its own axis. Thus, the spindle nut can advantageously have a circumferential projection which engages in a corresponding groove-shaped recess of the base body of the stopper unit.

The device is expediently designed in such a way that the actuating unit can be pivoted between an open position and a locking position. In the open position, the stopper unit is brought into a position or position in which it is not in engagement with the abutment (for example the floor), so that in the open position the device for fixing a pivotable device is inactive or disabled. The actuating unit can be pivoted from the open position into the locking position via an intermediate position. In the locking position of the actuating unit, the stopper unit, in particular its stopper element, protrudes further beyond the base of the support element than in the open position. In the locking position, the stopper unit is in particular in a position or position in which it is in engagement with an abutment.

The angle between the direction of displacement of the stopper unit and the direction of extent of the lever element in the open position is expediently less than 90 °, preferably less than 85 °. The direction of displacement of the stopper unit essentially corresponds to the axis of rotation of the spindle or the direction of the axis of rotation of the spindle and is preferably essentially perpendicular to the extension of the base of the support element. The direction of displacement of the stopper unit is in particular corresponding to the linear displacement path of the stopper unit when there is a displacement between the open position and the locking position. The direction of extension of the lever element expediently corresponds to a straight line on which the axes of rotation of the first and second lever element bearing areas lie. In particular, if the angle between the direction of displacement of the stopper unit and the direction of extension of the lever element in the open position of the actuation unit is less than 85 °, this leads to an actuation unit that can be moved from the open position to the locking position in a particularly reliable manner, since it counteracts self-blocking.

The maximum angle between the direction of displacement of the stopper unit and the direction of extension of the lever element in the open position can also be limited by a stop which is provided on the fastening unit and against which the stopper unit can be brought into contact. For example, the stop can be designed as part of the guide area arranged on the fastening unit, in particular the counter element, for example as a connecting section extending between the edges delimiting the slot, against which an area or end of the stop unit opposite the stop element can be brought into contact .

Furthermore, it is preferably provided that the angle between the direction of displacement of the stopper unit and the direction of extension of the lever element in the locking position is less than 10 °, preferably less than 5 ° and particularly preferably less than 0 °. It is particularly preferred to bring the part of the actuation unit which has the second actuation unit bearing area as close as possible to a surface of the pivotable device. The smaller the angle in the locking position, the more reliably the device can be operated, since the locking position is less easily released by itself. It is particularly preferred if the angle is less than 0 °, ie negative, so that the direction of extension of the lever element and / or the second actuation unit bearing area and / or the first lever element bearing area originally oriented on one side of the displacement direction of the stopper unit Transition to the locking position is brought to the opposite side, so that the positive angle in the open position changes to a negative angle.

The second actuation unit bearing area is advantageously arranged further in the open position and closer to the contact surface of the counter element in the locking position than the stopper unit bearing area. It can thus be provided that the second actuation unit bearing area is provided in the open position on one side of the axis of rotation of the spindle and in the locking position on an opposite, opposite side of the axis of rotation of the spindle. This provides a particularly reliable device for locking a pivotable device, since an automatic release of the actuating unit from the locking position can be prevented.

The angle between the direction of displacement of the stopper unit and the direction of extension of the lever element is advantageously greater than 0 ° when the actuating unit is pivoted from the open position to the intermediate position and less than 0 ° when the actuating unit is pivoted from the intermediate position to the locking position. This also makes it possible for the actuating unit to be prevented from automatically loosening from the locking position, since, preferably, when shifting from the locking position to the intermediate position, one by one elastic stopper element would have to be overcome force exerted on the stopper unit.

In a preferred embodiment, a fixing device is provided for fixing or holding or forcing the actuating unit in the or the open position, which acts between the fixing unit, in particular the counter element, and the actuating unit, the fixing device preferably being formed from a spring element or a projection, which is designed to engage in an undercut, and wherein the projection is furthermore preferably provided on one and the undercut on the other of the actuating unit and fastening unit elements, in particular the counter element. It is also possible to provide a spring element, such as a helical spring, which or the ends of which are fastened to the stopper unit and the actuating unit and / or the fastening unit, in particular the counter element. This advantageously biases the stopper unit into the open position.

Furthermore, according to the invention, an arrangement of a device for fixing a pivotable device, such as a door, a window or the like, on a door or a window according to claim 15 can be provided. The device is fastened to the edge of the door or window in particular in such a way that the fastening unit has a support element and a counter element which can be displaced relative to one another in such a way that the edge, in particular the lower edge, of the door or window can be clamped between them. For this purpose, the support element has in particular a plate-shaped base which extends along the end face or face, in particular the underside, of the door or window and thus bridges the thickness or thickness of the door or window. In particular when the device is arranged on a lower edge of the window or a door, it is preferred that the base of the support element is plate-shaped and thin-walled, since usually only a few millimeters of space are available between the lower edge of the door and the floor.

It is particularly advantageous if the base of the support element has a thickness or strength that is less than 4 mm, preferably less than 2 mm.

It goes without saying that the further advantages and features of the device according to the invention for locking a pivotable device and its preferred embodiments can also be used in the inventive arrangement of a device on a door or a window.
