EP3767063B1 - Device for sealing a vertical hinge cavity of a door - Google Patents

Description

The present invention relates to a device for sealing a vertical secondary closing edge of a door leaf.

Devices are known from the prior art, which are fixed in the ground. From the EP 2 617 933 A1 a fire protection device is known in which a round post is connected to a frame.

GB 2 456 144 A discloses a door hinge with an integrated guard that protects fingers or other objects from being pinched when the door is moved from an open to a closed position. The door is attached to one side of the hinge. A guard has a common hinge and pivots about the hinge. The guard may extend the full length of the door. The guard is free to move around the hinge but is constrained by the inner surfaces of the hinge mechanism. The shape of the guard prevents the hinge gap from being exposed no matter how far the door is opened. The guard can be retrofitted to existing doors or installed in new doors.

Another finger guard is off JP 2009 180053 A known. It comprises a frame attachment profile and a wing attachment profile, each of which has a receiving space for a cover profile. The cover profile covers a gap between the door leaf and the door frame.

In contrast, the object of the present invention is to provide a device that can be easily attached to the door leaf and the door frame. In addition, a system with such a device, a door leaf and a door frame and a modular system with such a device are to be created.

This object is achieved by a device according to claim 1, a system according to claim 10 and a modular system according to claim 14. Embodiments of the invention are given in the dependent claims.

The device is suitable for sealing a vertical secondary closing edge of a door leaf. The door leaf can be, for example, a door leaf of a profile door, preferably an aluminum profile door. The vertical secondary closing edge extends in the vertical direction when the door leaf is used as intended. In the context of this description, the term “sealing” means in particular that the free space present without using the device is sealed along the height of the secondary closing edge. In this way, an air flow through this free space can be prevented. In addition, the risk of a human finger being crushed on the secondary closing edge when the door is closed is reduced. This applies to both the hinge and the opposite hinge side.

The device comprises a frame attachment profile, a wing attachment profile, a first cover profile and a second cover profile. The frame attachment profile and the wing attachment profile can each be designed in one piece or in multiple pieces.

The first cover profile and the second cover profile each have a cross-sectional area in the shape of an arc of a circle. In the context of this description, the term "circular arc-shaped" is understood in particular to mean that the cover profiles have the shape of a segment of a ring in cross section. It is therefore possible that it is not a complete ring, but a part of a ring.

The leaf attachment profile is designed for attachment to the door leaf and the frame attachment profile for attachment to a door frame. The wing attachment profile is pivotable relative to the frame attachment profile between a first state and a second state. The first cover profile and the second cover profile are each arranged between the frame attachment profile and the wing attachment profile.

In the first state of the device, the first cover profile covers a first free space between the frame attachment profile and the wing attachment profile. In the second state, the second cover profile covers a second free space between the frame attachment profile and the wing attachment profile. In the first state, the door leaf can release an opening framed by the door frame, while in the second state this opening can be closed by the door leaf. Therefore, the first state can also be described as an open state and the second state as a closed state.

The frame attachment profile and/or the wing attachment profile each has two receiving spaces. A part of the first cover profile is in each case in a first of the two receiving spaces arranged. A part of the second cover profile is arranged in a second of the two receiving spaces.

According to one embodiment of the invention, the frame attachment profile and the wing attachment profile can accommodate the second cover profile to a greater extent in the first state than in the second state. In the context of this description, the term “take up” can be understood in particular to mean that parts of the frame fastening profile and/or the wing fastening profile overlap with a part of the second cover profile or with the entire second cover profile. The frame attachment profile and the wing attachment profile can preferably hold the second cover profile completely or more than three quarters in the first state. For example, the sash attachment profile and the frame attachment profile can accommodate the second cover profile in equal proportions in the first state. It is possible that in the first state there is no second space.

According to one embodiment of the invention, the frame attachment profile and the wing attachment profile can accommodate the first cover profile in the second state to a greater extent than in the first state. The frame attachment profile and the wing attachment profile can preferably hold the first cover profile completely or more than three quarters in the second state. For example, the sash attachment profile and the frame attachment profile can accommodate the first cover profile in equal proportions in the second state. It is possible that in the second state there is no first space.

According to one embodiment of the invention, the cover profiles can each be slidably on a geometric circle in the be arranged recording rooms. The geometric circle does not necessarily have to be provided as a component. It is possible that this is a virtual circle that only serves to define the mobility of the cover profiles in more detail. The geometric circle can be arranged concentrically to the circular arc-shaped cross-sectional areas of the cover profiles and/or to the hinge axis of a door hinge via which the door frame is connected to the door leaf.

According to one embodiment of the invention, the two cover profiles can be arranged opposite one another both in the first and in the second state. The term “opposite” is understood to mean in particular that the center point of the geometric circle is arranged in the middle between the cover profiles.

According to one embodiment of the invention, the first cover profile can have a first driver element on a first end that is horizontal in the installed position and a second driver element on a second end that is horizontal in the installed position. In the first state, the first driver element can rest against a first stop of the wing fastening profile in a form-fitting manner. In the first state, the second driver element can bear against a first stop of the frame fastening profile in a form-fitting manner.

The second cover profile can have a third driver element on a first end that is horizontal in the installed position and a fourth driver element on a second end that is horizontal in the installed position. In the second state, the third driver element can bear against a second stop of the wing fastening profile in a form-fitting manner. The fourth driver element can bear against a second stop of the frame fastening profile in a form-fitting manner.

In particular, it is possible for the first and second stops to protrude into the free spaces of the respective profile.

The interaction of the driver elements with the stops has the advantage that the cover profiles are moved relative to the door frame on the geometric circle when the door leaf is pivoted, so that the desired function reliably occurs.

According to an embodiment of the invention, the device can be used without being fixed to the ground.

According to one embodiment of the invention, the frame fastening profile can comprise a first element which is designed to be fastened to the door frame. In addition, the frame fixing profile can comprise two second elements fixed to the first element. In each case one of the receiving spaces can be arranged in one of the second elements. This multi-part nature of the frame attachment profile enables the device to be easily adapted to different door frames. For example, the device can be adapted to the thickness of the door frame or to different optical preferences by means of the thickness of the second elements.

According to one embodiment of the invention, the wing fastening profile can comprise a third element which is designed to be fastened to the door frame. In addition, the wing attachment profile can comprise two fourth elements. In each case one of the accommodation spaces can be arranged in one of the fourth elements. The fourth elements can be attached to the third element. This multi-part nature of the wing fastening profile enables the device to be easily adapted to different door wings. For example, by means of the thickness of the fourth elements Device can be adapted to the thickness of the door leaf or to different visual preferences.

The system according to claim 10 comprises a device according to an embodiment of the invention, a door leaf, a door hinge and a door frame. The door leaf can be designed as a profile door, for example. The leaf attachment profile can be attached to the door leaf. This can be done, for example, by a screw or adhesive connection. On a side facing the door leaf, the leaf attachment profile can have an outer contour that is adapted to an outer contour of the door leaf. This means in particular that the outer contour of the leaf attachment profile can be a negative of the outer contour of the door leaf.

The frame mounting profile can be attached to the door frame. This can be done, for example, by a screw or adhesive connection. On a side facing the door frame, the frame fastening profile can have an outer contour which is adapted to an outer contour of the door frame. This means in particular that the outer contour of the frame attachment profile can be a negative of the outer contour of the door leaf.

The door leaf is pivotably attached to the door frame via the door hinge. The door hinge is covered by the device. This means in particular that the door hinge cannot be seen during normal use. It may be possible that when looking at the door hinge from above the door leaf, the door hinge is visible. In normal use, however, the door hinge is not viewed from above the door leaf.

According to one embodiment of the invention, the door hinge can be arranged concentrically to the geometric circle on which the cover profiles are arranged and displaceable. This is particularly advantageous for reliably covering the door hinge without impairing the pivoting function of the door leaf.

According to one embodiment of the invention, the frame attachment profile, the wing attachment profile and the two cover profiles can each have a vertical length of more than 1.5 meters. The vertical length is understood to be the length that the profiles have in the vertical direction when used as intended. The length of more than 1.5 meters is advantageous in order to achieve a particularly good seal.

According to one embodiment of the invention, an electronic and/or mechanical component can be arranged within a cavity enclosed by the two cover profiles, the frame attachment profile and the door leaf attachment profile. This can be, for example, a door drive, a door closer, a door check, a damper, an opening restrictor and/or a camera.

The modular system according to claim 14 comprises a device according to an embodiment of the invention, in which the Frame attachment profile comprises the first and the two second elements and/or in which the wing attachment profile comprises the third and the two fourth elements. The modular system also includes several second and fourth elements. The individual second elements can differ in particular in terms of their thickness. The same applies to the fourth elements.

In the context of this description, a modular system is understood in particular to mean a system in which the frame attachment profile and/or the wing attachment profile can have different second or fourth elements. In this way, a device that is adapted to a specific door frame and/or a specific door leaf can be assembled from the modular system with little effort.

It is also possible that the modular system comprises several frame attachment profiles and/or several wing attachment profiles. In this way, devices that are adapted to different profile doors can be easily assembled from the modular system.

The device comprises a frame fixing profile comprising a first element 100 and two second elements 101 . In addition, the device comprises a wing attachment profile comprising a third element 102 and two fourth elements 103 . A first cover profile 104 and a second cover profile 105 are arranged on a geometric circle arranged concentrically to the door hinge 108 between the frame attachment profile and the leaf attachment profile.

The second elements 101 are connected to the first element 100 via a screw connection. The same applies to the fourth element 103 and the third element 102. In particular, the screw can only be screwed from an inside of the device. When the device is attached to a door leaf and a door frame, this can be the side that is inside the building for an outside door. This feature increases burglary protection. In addition, the screw can be covered by a clip, creating a visually appealing image.

One of the second elements 101 comprises an accommodating space 107. The other of the second elements 101 comprises an accommodating space 300. One of the fourth elements 103 comprises an accommodating space 106. The other of the fourth elements 103 comprises an accommodating space 301. Im in figure 1 illustrated second state, in which the door leaf is open and an opening framed by the door frame releases, the first cover profile 104 is in the Accommodating spaces 301 and 300 each arranged in half so that it cannot be seen from the outside. The second cover profile 105 covers a gap between the frame attachment profile and the wing attachment profile. On the side of the device arranged opposite the second cover profile 105, one of the second elements 101 abuts one of the fourth elements 103. No gap between the frame attachment profile and the wing attachment profile can therefore be seen from both sides of the door leaf.

If the door leaf is now closed, the second cover profile 105 is moved along the geometric circle and is received completely in the receiving spaces 106 and 107 so that it can no longer be seen from the outside. When closed - see 3 - The first cover profile 104 covers a gap between the frame attachment profile and the wing attachment profile. On this side, the second element 101 no longer touches the fourth element 301.

The cover profiles 104 and 105 have hook-shaped driver elements at their ends, which engage with stops in the receiving spaces 106 and 107 or 300 and 301 when the respective cover profile 104 or 105 covers the respective gap between the frame attachment profile and the wing attachment profile.

The in the Figures 5 to 8 illustrated embodiment works in principle similar to the embodiment from the Figures 1 to 4 . However, the second elements 101 and 103 are somewhat thicker, so that when the door leaf ( figure 5 ) the accommodating spaces 300 and 301 do not project outward beyond other portions of the second members 101 and 103. Therefore, for a user no round shape visible. This may be desired for design reasons.

The in the figures 9 The embodiment shown in FIGS. 10 and 10 differs mainly from the previously described embodiments in that the first element 100 is adapted to a door frame 901 with a precise fit. It fits exactly into the shape of the door frame 901 with a positive fit. An outer contour of the third element 102 is adapted to the shape of the door leaf 900 in a similar way. The device can thus be adapted to relatively complicated shaped door frames and/or door leaves by a suitable choice of the first element 100 and the third element 102 .
