Description

Title: Door Profile

The present invention relates to a U-shaped profile for connection to an edge of an entrance system, such as a pass door opening. It specifically relates to a door profile for passdoor that is watertight and insulated.

Background of the invention

When mounting or arranging a passdoor in a garage door or a port door it is important that the passdoor does not lower the insulation of the door too much or create leaks in the door at which water and wind can pass the door.

A passdoor in a sectional door is often mounted on site after the sectional door has been mounted in the opening. U-profiles is used to enclose the edges of the passdoor opening and the edges of the pass door and to be the doorframe of the passdoor.

A known problem with passdoors of sectional door are that they reduce the insulation of the door and could be the source of water leaks as they are hard to make waterproof/weatherproof.

There is thus a need for a way to reduce the impact on insulation and weatherproofing of a door and especially a door that is mounted on site, such as a passdoor of a sectional door.

Summary of the invention

An object of the present disclosure is to provide a door profile, which seek to mitigate, alleviate, or eliminate one or more of the above-identified deficiencies in the art and disadvantages singly or in any combination.

An object of the present disclosure is to provide a U-shaped profile that reduces the risk of that water leaks and increase the insulation of the door.

In this disclosure, a solution to the problem outlined above is proposed. In the proposed solution, a U-shaped profile for connection to an edge of an entrance system is disclosed. The u-shaped profile comprise a first L-shaped profile and a second profile. The first L-shaped profile, comprise a back portion and a wing portion. The wing portion of the first L-shaped profile constitute, in an assembled state, a first wing of the u-shape of the u-shaped profile. An edge of the back portion of the first L- shaped profile is configured to be connected to an edge second profile. The back portion of the first L-shaped profile, in a connected state, constitute at least a part of the back of the u-shape.

By the U-shaped profile according to the above, the U-shaped profile could be connected/mounted to an edge with a movement that is parallel with the edge and not perpendicular to the edge.

A further advantage is that the U-shaped profile could be tightly fitted to enclose the edge without the risk of damage the entrance system when the

connecting/mounting the U-shaped profile.

According to an aspect the second profile is a L-shaped profile. The second L- shaped profile comprise a back portion and a wing portion, the wing portion of the second L-shaped profile constitute a second wing of the u-shape of the u-shaped profile, the edge of the back portion of the first L-shaped profile is configured to be connected to an edge of the back portion of the second L-shaped profile, and the back portions of the first and second L-shaped profile, in a connected state, constitute at least a part of the back of the u-shape.

13. The u-shaped profile (10) according to any of the preceding claims, comprising a seal strip (50) that is connected to an inner side (15) of the wing portion (12) of the first L-shaped profile (11 ).

14. The u-shaped profile (10) according to claim 13, wherein the seal strip (50) is configured to be compressed in a direction perpendicular the inner side (15) of the wing portion (12) of the first L-shaped profile (11 ) when the u-shaped profile (10) is connected to the edge (43) of the entrance system (13).

15. The u-shaped profile (10) according to claim 13 or 14, wherein the u-shaped profile (10) is configured to be connected to an edge (43) of the entrance system (1 ) that has a width (W) that is smaller than a distance (D1 ) between the inner side (15) of the wing portion (12) of the first L-shaped profile (11 ) and an inner side (25) of the wing portion (22) of the second L-shaped profile (21 ) and that is bigger than said distance (D1 ) minus a thickness (T) of the seal strip (50) in a uncompressed state.

16. A method (100) for mounting a u-shaped panel (1 , 40) according to any of claims 2-15 to an edge (43) of an entrance system comprising the steps:

• positioning (S1 ) the first L-shaped profile (11 ) at the edge (43) of the

entrance system (1 ), such that the wing part (12) of the first L-shaped profile (11 ) is parallel with an outer side/wall (41 ) of the entrance system (1 , 40) and the back part (13) of the first L-shaped profile (11 ) is parallel to the edge (43),

• positioning (S2) the second profile (21 ) at the edge (43) of the entrance system (1 , 40) such that the wing part (22) of the second L-shaped profile (21 ) is parallel with an inner side/wall (42) of the entrance system (1 , 40)

• connecting (S3) the first L-shaped profile (11 ) to the second profile (21 ) by moving it in a direction (A) that is parallel to the plane of the back of the u- shape and the edge (43) and perpendicular to the wings to move the locking device (30) from an unlocked position to a locked position and thereby connect the u-shaped profile (10) to the edge (43).

17. Method according to claim 16, wherein the step of positioning (S1 ) the first L- shaped profile (11 ) comprise positioning (S11 ) a seal strip (50) at the first wall (41 ) and the step of connecting (S3) comprise compressing (S31 ) the seal strip (50) by pressing the first L-shaped profile (11 ) and the seal strip (50) towards the first wall (41 ).

18. Method according to claim 16 or 17, wherein the edge (43) is an edge (43) of a passdoor (2) or a passdoor opening.

19. Method according to claim 16 or 18, wherein the second profile (21 ) is a second L-shaped profile (21 ) and the step of positioning (S2) further comprise

positioning the second L-shaped profile (21 ) at the edge (43) of the entrance system (1 , 40) such the back part (23) of the second L-shaped profile (23) is parallel to the edge (43) and the step of connecting (S3) comprise connecting the first L-shaped profile (11 ) to the second L-shaped profile (21 ) by moving it in a direction (A) that is parallel to the plane of the back of the u-shape and the edge (43) and perpendicular to the wings to move the locking device (30) from an unlocked position to a locked position and thereby connect the u-shaped profile (10) to the edge (43).
