Description

Fitting for a sliding door

The present invention relates to a fitting for a sliding door, comprising: a retractor having a rail, on which at least one traveling part is movably mounted along the rail, and having a driver movable along a guide path, the retractor having an end position In order to move the driving unit to the pole, the driver may be connected to an activator disposed on the driving unit.

DE 20 2009 014 882 discloses a fitting for a sliding door, wherein the activator is mounted on a running part and can be connected to a closing auxiliary element.

In this case, the activator can be latched onto the roller carrier.

It thus becomes possible to mount the activator on the roller carrier without tools.

DE 10 2011 050 394 discloses a fitting for a sliding door, wherein an activator is provided on the running part and can be connected to a retractor.

In this case, the activator remains adjustable on the travel part, as a result of which tolerance compensation can be performed in a simple manner.

However, a plurality of parts are required for the traveling part. Furthermore, in order to prevent unintentional lifting of the sliding door out of the rail, a lift-out safeguard is always mounted in the sliding door fitting separately from the activator.

Therefore, during the mounting of the sliding door fitting, in particular, if right and left running parts are used for the sliding door, various parts must be mounted and arranged.

Therefore, it is an object of the present invention to provide a fitting for a sliding door that is structurally simple and can be easily mounted.

This object is realized by a fitting with the technical features of claim 1 .

According to the present invention, the activator is movable from a mounting position to at least one operating position with respect to the carrier of the traveling part, wherein it can be connected with the driver of the retractor, and the activator is on the rail in the mounting position Enables mounting of the travel, but, in the operative position, inhibits lifting of the travel outward from the rail by a stopper on the activator.

Thus, a lift-out safeguard is provided by the activator, which sufficiently prevents lifting of the running part from the rail which allows the running part to be removed from the rail.

In addition to the actuation of a lift-out safeguard, the activator can be connected with a retractor in an actuated position, moving the sliding door together with the activator to a predetermined end position.

In this case, the retractor may pretension the driver in the end position by means of a spring, and a damper may optionally be provided on the retractor.

Therefore, fittings for sliding doors can implement high-level functions with fewer parts.

Preferably, the activator is pivotally mounted on the carrier of the traveling part.

Alternatively, it may be possible to mount the activator positionably on the carrier of the traveling part, and it may become possible to implement a movement from the mounting position to the operating position or vice versa.

In this case, the pivoting motion and/or the sliding motion may each be performed without a tool.

In addition to the option of attaching the activator to the sliding door even before mounting, it is very useful to leave it permanently, both during mounting and removal of the sliding door furniture.

In one embodiment of the invention, the activator has a projection coupled to a receptacle on the driver of the retractor.

The projection may protrude substantially vertically in one direction from the plate-shaped carrier of the traveling part, thereby realizing a compact structure.

In addition, the projection may be spaced apart from the stopper to prevent lifting outward from the rail.

For simple manufacture of the fitting using few parts, the activator can be made of one part, in particular plastic or metal.

Plastic-soft component composites, for example plastic-rubber composites (P & R composite), are particularly advantageous.

Furthermore, the activator may be latched in the mounting position and/or in the actuated position to avoid unintentional disengagement after movement of the activator into the actuated position.

In this case, the latching can be implemented via a friction-locked and/or formfitting actuating element which is formed directly or indirectly on the activator and on the traveling part.

Preferably, the activator can be moved from the mounting position to two different operating positions.

Accordingly, the right and left running portions can be avoided, that is, the running portions are mounted on the left or right side of the sliding door.

Two structurally identical running parts can be mounted on the right and left sides of the sliding door, whether it is a right or a left part, which is determined by movement of the activator into the relevant operating position.

This saves warehousing costs and simplifies mounting.

In particular, in order to provide a high damping force, two activators may be provided on the running part, each cooperating with one retractor.

In this case, the retractor may be provided with a damper, as a result of which very heavy sliding doors can be moved using the fitting according to the invention.

Alternatively, the first activator may activate the open damper, while the second activator may activate the closing damper.

In this case, the plurality of activators and the plurality of dampers may be disposed on one plane or another plane. Installing more than two activators and retractors or dampers is also conceivable.

According to the invention, the activator is movable from a mounting position to at least one operating position relative to the carrier of the traveling part, wherein the activator is connectable with the driver of the retractor, wherein the activator travels on the rail in the mounting position It enables mounting of the part, but in the operative position inhibits the lifting of the running part outwardly from the rail by a stopper on the activator.

Thus, a lift-out safeguard is provided by the activator, which sufficiently prevents lifting of the running part from the rail which allows the running part to be removed from the rail.
