Definitions

  • the invention relates to a door system for installation in a door opening in a wall, for example a concrete, brick, wooden or lightweight wall, with a door frame forming a door frame, in which a door element is rotatably mounted, the door frame having a stop-side, an upper and a frame profile on the handle side, each of which can be fastened to the reveal surfaces of the door opening by means of adapter profiles.
  • the door frame consists of frame profiles connected to one another at the corners (stop side, top and handle side), which form a narrow, three-sided frame when viewed from the front, in which a - essentially frameless - door element is rotatably mounted.
  • the individual frame profiles of the door frame have groove-shaped receptacles directed towards the reveal surfaces of the door opening for a guide leg of an adapter profile which can be fastened to the reveal surfaces and with which the door frame can be fixed in the door opening in such a way that the door frame has a circumferential shadow gap to the adjacent reveal surfaces.
  • the door element On the stop side, the door element has a rotatable wing profile running over the entire height of the door element for the edge-side, clamping accommodation of a door leaf, for example made of glass, with the rotatable wing profile having a lateral spacing of a plane ⁇ defined by the center of the groove-shaped receptacles of the frame profiles 1 is upstream.
  • the side frame profiles are connected to the upper frame profile with the help of internal corner brackets and screwed to the base plates on the floor, which in turn are fastened to the floor with screws.
  • the disadvantage is a considerable adjustment effort when installing the door frame and their exact alignment in the door opening of the wall.
  • lowerable sealing devices are used, for example, which are fastened to the floor-side edge of the door element or are accommodated in a groove of the door element.
  • Such a lowerable floor seal is in the DE 20 2007 016 379 U1 described.
  • a sealing element that can be lowered parallel to the floor is arranged in a housing of the sealing device Door) is held in an upper position by spring force.
  • a release element comes into contact with the door rebate, is pushed inwards and actuates the sealing element towards the floor via deflection wedges until the door gap is closed.
  • a further object of the invention is to improve the soundproofing of the entire door system, including its connection to the door opening in the wall, for example a lightweight wall.
  • the door frame has an adjustment sill that can be fastened to the bottom of the door opening, with two end areas that define the respective bottom end of the stop-side and handle-side frame profile and with a free sill area in the door opening that connects the two end areas to one another .
  • the effort involved in adjusting when assembling the door system is essentially reduced to the precise alignment and horizontal installation of the adjusting threshold according to the invention in the door opening, for example a lightweight wall made of plasterboard.
  • the two end regions of the adjustment threshold each have U-shaped recesses directed towards the reveal surfaces of the door opening, which are used to adjust the position of the adapter profiles before they are attached to the reveal surfaces.
  • the free sill area of the adjustment sill is designed as a contact surface for a sealing device which is fastened to the bottom end of the door element and can preferably be lowered in the closed position.
  • Additional soundproofing measures in particular the use of soundproofing glass for the door element and a Y-shaped seal in cross-section, which bridges a shadow gap formed between the frame profiles on the door stop and handle side and the adjacent reveal surfaces, allow insulation values of over 40 dB to be achieved for the entire system.
  • Door system 10 shown is preferably installed in a door opening of a wall 1, for example a lightweight wall.
  • the door frame 11 with the frame profiles 12 (on the stop or hinge side), 13 (top) and 14 (handle side) forms an aesthetically pleasing, three-sided frame that is narrow when viewed from the front, in which a door element 20 with a door leaf 22 made of glass can be rotated is stored.
  • the frame profiles 12, 13, 14 of the door frame 11 (or their base profiles 16) have groove-shaped receptacles 15, which are directed towards the reveal surfaces 2 of the door opening, for the guide legs 6 of an adapter profile 3, which can be fastened to the reveal surfaces 2 of the door opening, with which the door frame 11 can be fixed in the door opening in such a way that the door frame 11 has a circumferential shadow gap 7 to the adjacent reveal surfaces 2 (see, for example, 4 and 5 ).
  • an adjustment threshold 17 that can be fastened to the bottom of the door opening is provided, which is equipped with end regions 18, 18' on both sides which define the respective bottom end of the stop-side 12 and the handle-side frame profile 14 and has a free threshold area 19 which connects the two end areas 18, 18' to one another.
  • the adjustment threshold 17 is preferably made in one piece from sheet steel.
  • the adjustment threshold 17 is aligned in a horizontal position in the door opening of the wall 1 using a ruler M or the like, whereby either the contact surfaces a or b of the adjustment threshold 17 are brought into contact and the available width of the door opening is evenly divided (see 3 ).
  • the two end regions 18, 18' of the adjustment threshold 17 each have U-shaped recesses 23, which are directed towards the adjacent reveal surfaces 2 of the door opening and are used to adjust the position of the adapter profiles 3 before they are attached to the reveal surfaces 2 (see, for example, Figures 6 to 8 ).
  • the adjustment effort when installing the door system 10 can be significantly reduced, since after the installation of the adjustment threshold (by means of screws 24 or assembly adhesive), the orientation and position of all other elements of the door system 10 is clearly specified. Furthermore, a defined gap of constant width to the door element 20 is formed by the exposed threshold area 19 or its surface, which is also accessible to effective soundproofing.
  • the free sill area 19 of the adjustment sill 17 can be formed as a contact surface let into the adjoining floor B for a sealing device 50 fastened to the floor-side end of the door element 20 and lowerable in the closed position.
  • the sealing device 50 the housing 51 of which receives the lower end of the door leaf 22 made of glass and on the other hand contains the lowerable sealing element 52, can preferably be arranged directly under the door leaf 22 made of glass.
  • the frame profiles 12 and 14 each have a base profile 16 which can be screwed to the adapter profile 3 fastened to the reveal surface 2 .
  • Different cover profiles 41, 42 are fastened to the base profiles 16 on the stop or handle side, for example screwed on by means of cylinder head screws, with the cover profile 41 of the frame profile 12 on the stop side and the rotatable wing profile 21 having surfaces facing one another in the form of cylinder jacket sections such that when the Door element 20 a constant movement gap between the facing surfaces can be achieved.
  • a particularly aesthetic overall picture of the door system 10 results from the fact that the rotatable leaf profile 21 is integrated in the frame profile 12 on the stop side, whereby the width and depth of the two frame profiles 12 and 14 have the same values and are framed by an even shadow gap 7 to the reveal surfaces 2 .
  • two elastic sealing elements 25, 25' are arranged in the movement gap between the wing profile 21 and the cover profile 41, on which the wing profile 21 rests slidingly with its cylinder jacket section. This measure also allows adequate anti-trap protection to be achieved in the area of the door element 20 on the stop side.
  • the base profile 16 of the frame profile 14 on the handle side has a cover profile 42 in which a stop rebate for the door leaf 22 is formed, with a stop seal and a seal acting on the front side of the door leaf 22 being provided here, which ensure noise protection on the handle side.
  • FIG. 6 to 8 different installation positions of the adjustment threshold 19 in the door opening of the wall 1 are shown in a plan view.
  • the 6 and 7 show an adjustment in which the contact surfaces a of the adjustment threshold 17 come to rest on a measuring rod, not shown here.
  • the contact surfaces b are used for the adjustment.
  • the adapter profiles 3 can be inserted with their lower ends into the U-shaped recesses 23 of the end regions 18, 18' of the adjustment threshold 17 and aligned vertically, and screwed to the reveal surfaces 2 - without further adjustment measures.
  • shadow gaps 7 of different widths can arise - with slightly different shell dimensions or dimensional tolerances of the door opening (see Figures 6 to 8 ), which, however, can easily be compensated with the adapter profiles 3.
  • the parting line T in the screed concrete can be arranged between the inside and outside of the room in the area below the adjustment threshold 17 (see Fig 6 ). If fastening with screws 24 is not possible in this area, the adjustment threshold 17 can be fixed using a suitable assembly adhesive.
  • a block 37 for example made of wood, can be inserted between the guide legs 6 to better hold the screws 36 (see Fig 9 ).
  • a special contribution to soundproofing is achieved by the fact that the base of a Y-shaped sealing element 31 is arranged in a groove of the adapter profile 3, the free leg 32 of which rests sealingly on the cover profile 41 on the one hand and on the leaf profile 21 of the door element 20 on the other hand and which lies between the stop-side Frame profile 12 and the adjoining reveal surface 2 bridge the shadow gap 7 in a sound-absorbing manner (see 10 ).
  • FIG 11 shows an exploded view of a door element 20 of the door system 10, shown reduced in height, wherein the door element 20 has on the stop side the rotatable wing profile 21 running over the entire height of the door element 20, which is designed to clamp a door leaf 22 made of glass at the edge .
  • the door element 20 is sealed with the aid of the lowerable sealing device 50 arranged at the lower edge of the door leaf 22 in a sound-absorbing manner on the free sill area 19 of the adjustment sill 17 (not shown here).
  • the rotatable wing profile 21 is closed off by a lower, floor-side pivot bearing element 26 (shown enlarged) and an upper pivot bearing element 27, with the lower pivot bearing element 26 interacting with a bearing mount 34 of the screw-on plate 30 (see FIG 12 ).
  • the lower pivot bearing element 26 has a recess 33, whereby the sealing element 52, which can be lowered out of the housing 51 of the sealing device 50, can be brought closer to the axis of rotation of the door element 20 in order to effectively seal a gap in this area.
  • the upper pivot bearing element 27 is received by an upper bearing seat 40 which is formed as part of the frame 11 forming the door frame (see FIG 1 ).
  • the rotatable wing profile 21 of the door element 20 has sealing elements 28, 29 at both ends, which on the one hand seal the gap to the upper bearing mount 40 and on the other hand the gap to the screw-on plate 30 attached to the adjustment threshold 17 in a soundproof manner.
  • the sealing element 28 is in 11 shown enlarged and is arranged in a groove-shaped receptacle of the upper bearing receptacle 40 .
  • the sealing element 29 can be T-shaped and is arranged in a groove or a groove system of the screw-on plate 30 (see FIG 12 ).
