Description

The present invention relates to a section type gate.

The present invention relates to a section comprising a frame, a guide rail having a curved section connecting the vertical section, the horizontal section, and both sections, and a plurality of jointed sections guided in the guide rail by a traveling roller. A section gate comprising a mold gate door, wherein the upper edge of a section (6) engages a recess (10) in the lower edge of an adjacent section, starting from the outside of the gate An arc-shaped cross section (9), and the frame has a vertical frame shape having a gate opening section and having a mirror plate surface and mounting legs rising from the mirror plate surface; The vertical section is attached to the mounting leg of the frame member, and the traveling roller is supported on a traveling roller support attached to the inner surface of the gate of the section. The cross-sectional profiles of the upper and lower edges of the section are inter-adjusted so that there is no gap outside the gate when the gate is opened and closed, and the section closes again as it passes through the arcuate region of the guide rail ing.

Therefore, the upper and lower edge profiles of the section effectively prevent injury when the gate is used improperly and are often referred to as anti-finger profiles.

A section-type gate with the above-mentioned components is known from EP-A-0304642B1 (Herman). Within the frame of the known strategy, the section length is wider than the inner spacing between the respective vertical frame profiles, so that on the gate outer surface, there is an offset between the outer surface of the gate door and the outer surface of the frame. Always occurs. When the frame is attached to the inner surface of the wall, or when the plate is disposed on the outer surface of the frame, this offset is further increased by the thickness of the wall or plate.

In the gymnasium, a gate that separates a sports space from, for example, a machine room is used. The offset between the gate door and the frame is not desirable in the gymnasium. If there is an offset, for example, it will be an obstacle in ball games, and there will be a risk of injury to the player. Thus, section-type gates have not been used in gymnasiums to block sports spaces at the gate.
European Patent Application Publication No. 0304642B1

An object of the present invention against the background described above is to configure a section-type gate so that the gate door ends in the same plane as the outer surface of the surface surrounding the gate opening in the closed state.

Based on the premise of a section-type gate having the structural requirements described at the beginning, according to the present invention, according to the present invention, when the section-type gate door is in a closed state, between the inner surfaces (sofits) of the gate openings. The outer surface of the gate door is solved by being aligned with the surface surrounding the gate opening without any offset. A plate made of, for example, wood or a shock absorbing material is preferably disposed on the end plate surface of the frame shape member to form a surface surrounding the gate opening. Of course, a slight offset that is much smaller than the inner surface of the frame of the gate opening is harmless for the purpose of use for a specific application and is included in the scope of the idea of the present invention.

In the present invention, the section is configured to be slightly shorter than the inner width between the vertical frame members. The frame material in the vertical direction and the guide rail attached thereto can be configured and arranged according to the prior art. A spacer member is disposed between the traveling roller support and the section to bridge the distance between the section and the traveling roller support. The thickness depends on the application and can be determined according to the width of the inner surface of the frame. The spacer member is preferably a separate or multi-part member that is attached to the inner surface of the section and forms a mounting surface for the travel roller support. However, an embodiment in which the traveling roller support has a leg configured as a spacer member also falls under the present invention.

In an advantageous embodiment of the invention, the frame profile has ridges aligned with the inner surface of the gate opening, and the frame profile ridges on the inside of the gate of the section when closed. There are strips to hide. The strips function as a door, and when the gate door is closed, the strip hides the gap between the gate door and the frame, so that, for example, light is not transmitted through. In addition to this, a seal member that comes into contact with the strip when the gate is closed may be disposed on the ridge of the frame shape member.

Gymnasiums often have wallboards made of wood or shock-absorbing materials. The section-type gate door can be adjusted accordingly. In an advantageous embodiment of the invention, the section has a frame structure with a plate attached to the outer surface of the gate. The plate is provided with a finger pinching preventing shape at the upper edge and the lower edge. For this purpose, the plate has an arcuate cross-sectional shape starting from the outer surface of the gate at the upper edge, and a recess that cooperates with the upper edge of the adjacent section at the lower edge. As a result, when the gate is opened and closed, there is no gap on the outer surface of the gate door between the adjacent sections, and the gate is closed again. The plate may be made of wood or woodwork products.

A configuration in which the section of the top section type gate door in the closed state, the so-called top section, is guided by a separate traveling rail is also included in the scope of the present invention. In this embodiment, a second travel rail is disposed above the horizontal area of the guide rail and extends substantially horizontally to the frame profile. The travel rollers of the top section are guided by this second travel rail, while the travel rollers of all other sections travel in the guide rail described above. Of course, a spacer member may also be disposed between the top section and the traveling roller support disposed in the top section. This spacer member bridges the spacing between the section and the travel roller support and is designed so that the top section is aligned with the outer surface surrounding the gate opening when closed. .

Next, the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the drawings showing examples which are merely examples. The drawings are schematic.

The basic structure of the section-type gate shown in each drawing includes a guide rail 2 having a frame 1, a curved section connecting the vertical section 3 and the horizontal section 4, and both sections 3, 4, and the guide rail. And a section-type gate door 5 composed of a plurality of sections 6 connected in a pivotal manner guided by two traveling rollers 7. The section-type gate door is attached with a weight compensator 8, for example in the form of an elastic shaft, connected to the lower section of the multi-section section-type gate door 5 via a tow rope.

The upper edge of the section has an arcuate cross-sectional shape 9 starting from the outer surface of the gate that engages a recess 10 in the lower edge of the adjacent section. The profiles 9, 10 are adjusted relative to each other so that there is no gap in the width of the finger associated with the danger of pinching on the outer surface of the gate when the section is pivoting. A vertical frame shape member 11 made of a steel plate is attached to the frame 1 and has a front surface portion (end plate surface) 12 and a mounting leg portion 13 rising (projecting) from the front surface portion. The attachment leg 13 can be used to attach the frame to the adjacent wall surface 14. Furthermore, the mounting legs 13 also serve to mount the vertical section 3 of the guide rail 2.

As can be seen in particular in FIG. 2, a plate 15 is arranged on the front surface 12 of the frame 11 and the outer surface 16 of the gate door is a surface 25 surrounding the gate opening when closed, i.e. Line up with the outer surface of the plate 15 without any offset. The plate 15 is, for example, a solid wood plate. As a matter of course, other plates such as a shock absorbing material can be used to plate the front surface portion 12. A spacer member 18 that bridges the interval between the section 6 and the traveling roller support 17 is disposed between the section 6 and the traveling roller support 17 on which the traveling roller is rotatably supported.

In the present embodiment, the frame member 11 in the vertical direction has a collar 19 that is aligned with the frame inner surface 20 of the gate opening and is configured to accommodate the sealing material. Arranged inside the section gate is optionally a strip 21 that hides the ridge 19 of the frame profile when closed. The strip 21 hides the gap between the frame inner surface 20 of the gate opening and the section-type gate door 5 and prevents, for example, the passage of light that gets in the way. In addition to the sealing material arranged on the frame-shaped ridges 19, it is also possible to realize effective sealing against the draft. Section 6 is made of wood or woodwork in this example. The section has a frame structure 22 with a plate 23 attached to the gate outer surface. The plate 23 is configured to be provided with a finger pinching preventing shape at the upper edge and the lower edge. The plate has an arcuate cross section 9 starting from the outside of the gate at the upper edge, and a recess 10 at the lower edge that cooperates with the upper edge of the adjacent section. ing.

As can be seen from FIG. 1, above the horizontal section 4 of the guide rail 2, it extends to the frame 11 in a substantially horizontal direction and serves to guide a section called the top section that is at the top when closed. A second traveling rail 24 is arranged. The traveling rollers arranged in the top section are guided in the second traveling rail 24, whereas the traveling rollers of all other rails travel in the guide rail 2. At this time, a spacer member 18 is also provided between the top section and the traveling roller support attached thereto, and this spacer member has a surface that surrounds the gate opening when the gate door is closed. Bridging the space between the section and the travel roller support to the extent that they are aligned in a straight line without offset.

The section type gate shown in this embodiment is particularly suitable for use in a gymnasium or the like. The entire outer surface of the sectioned gate can be adapted to the gymnasium wall to be on the same plane. Furthermore, for example, by using a woodworking product, it is possible to adjust the appearance to a space boarded with wood. Of course, the section-type gate may be equipped with an electric gate driving device.
