Description

This invention relates to the design of a sliding door with sliding wings located in a common plane and in a common bearing and guide rails, and at least one shockproof device is provided between opposing front edges of adjacent sliding doors.

To date, in the designs of a sliding door of a known type in areas in which the sliding wings can hit each other, plastic or rubber shock absorbers glued to the sliding doors have been used. Although these plastic or rubber shock absorbers can cushion the impact of two sliding sashes running into each other, in this case it is considered a drawback that unwanted springing of the sliding sashes can often occur. An additional disadvantage is that the shockproof devices known from the prior art are located in a zone visible to the user and thus create a disturbing visual effect. Until now, this drawback has been eliminated, for example, by means of a cover strip on a sliding sash or by variously made contours of the front edges on the sliding sashes to cover the butt gap.

The objective of the invention is to improve the design of the sliding door of the above type in such a way that provides the implementation of a practical device of shockproof protection.

In accordance with the invention, this problem is solved by the fact that said at least one shockproof device comprises a spacer element located inside the carrier and / or guide rail and located in the sliding zone of the sliding wings.

A spacing element located in the carrier and / or guide rail can be easily profiled so that after insertion into one of these rails, this element cannot fall out of the rail and, thus, is located primarily in the rail zone with non-fallout. In addition, it is preferable that, due to the location inside one of the rails, the spacing element is practically not visible from the outside, i.e. when looking at the front surface of a sliding sash.

The collision of the two sliding wings is reliably prevented, since the minimum distance between the two sliding wings, regardless of the position of the sliding wings, is structurally set using the solution in accordance with the invention, by the length of the distance element.

In a preferred embodiment of the invention, the sliding flaps are guided by the supporting elements in the bearing rail and by the guiding elements in the guide rail, wherein said at least one shockproof device is located on the displacement line of the supporting and / or guiding elements.

In this way, it is ensured that in order to prevent the collision of both sliding wings, the distance element does not meet directly with the front edge of the sliding door, but always meets the corresponding contact areas of the carrier or guide elements mounted on the sliding wings, in order to avoid damage to the sensitive front edges of the sliding wings. In a preferred embodiment of the invention, the shock protection device interacts with the engaging device, wherein the shock protection device interacts with one sliding sash and the spacer element with the other sliding sash. Optionally, the engaging device may be configured with a damper. In addition, the engaging device can also be made with an energy storage device, for example, with a mechanical or gas spring. Alternatively, the engaging device may be used without energy storage.

Thus, it is achieved not only that the collision of both sliding flaps is effectively prevented, but also that the corresponding structural elements of the shockproof device prevent joint movement or joint movement, i.e. capture at the subsequent new movement of the sliding sash, and the required position of this sliding sash does not change.

In the case of a suitable design with an engaging device, it is preferable if, in addition to the spacing element, the shock protection device, on the one hand, has a locking element made in the form of a locking tab for engaging with a sliding sash and, on the other hand, has an activator for activating the pusher an engaging device located on another sliding leaf.

In the case of a design without an engaging device, the activator of the shockproof device can be replaced by a clip into which the counterpart of the carrier and / or guide element can be inserted on another sliding sash and, if necessary, fixed.

Thus, hooking devices and optionally damper mechanisms of known design can be used, such as, for example, in the manufacture of furniture in the case of drawers or the like.

Other features of the invention are subject to additional dependent claims.

in FIG. 14 is an enlarged rear view of the part with the shockproof device of FIG. 12;

in FIG. 15 is a perspective view corresponding to FIG. fourteen.

In FIG. 1 shows a perspective view of the design of a sliding door with two sliding leaves 1, 2, guided by the supporting elements 3 or 4 in a common lower bearing rail 5 and by means of the guiding elements 6 in a common upper guide rail 7.

The supporting elements 3 and 4, as well as the guide elements 6, are preferably made of metal or a stable plastic material or a combination of these materials, each of which is fixed near the corner zones of the sliding wings 1, 2 on these leaves. In the area of the lower bearing rail 5, the design of the sliding door has a shockproof device 8, which is generally indicated by the position number 8 (see Fig. 5). In the area of the upper guide rail 8, an additional shockproof protection device 8 'is optionally located (see Fig. 4). At the same time, the shockproof device 8 'located in the upper zone of the design of the sliding door consists exclusively of a spacing element 9 located in the upper guide rail 7 with the possibility of displacement in the longitudinal direction and made in the form of a bar under the groove so that the spacing element 9 does not can fall out of the upper guide rail 7 and can only be displaced inside a given guide rail 7 in the longitudinal direction. The distance between the sliding wings 1 and 2 is set by the contact of the front ends of the device 8 'shockproof protection on the protrusions of the guide elements 5.

The lower shock protection device 8, shown in particular in FIG. 10 and 11, also contains, in addition to the spacer element 15, a thrust element made in the form of a fixing tab 11, as well as an activator 12 in the form of a protrusion, said element and activator providing the possibility of engagement with one and / or another leaf of the sliding wings 1, 2. In this case, the shockproof device is preferably integrated. In this case, it is also possible to assemble the spacer element 15, the locking tab 11 and the activator 12 from the individual elements to obtain a shockproof device 8.

Said engagement can be achieved, for example, by fixing the sliding leaf 1 with the support element 4, when the sliding leaf 1 and the shockproof device 8 come together for the first time, and in this case, the locking tab 11 of the shockproof device 8 moves over, so that a durable engagement between the specified bearing element 4 and the device 8 shockproof protection.

Said fixing tab 11 is shown in more detail in FIG. 11, and in this case it should be noted that the engagement of the shockproof device 8 with the sliding sash 1 can also be implemented in a different way than the fixing described above. Thus, the shockproof device 8 can be fixedly mounted on the sliding leaf 1 by means of screws or other means, by means of clamps or other similar elements.

On its front side facing away from the locking tab 11, the shockproof device 8 has an activator 12 for activating and controlling the engaging device 16, the engaging device 16 being fixed to the second sliding leaf, as shown in more detail in FIG. 5-8. By means of this activator 12, the engaging device 16 is activated when the two sliding wings 1 and 2 come together by means of the pusher 17 on the engaging device 16 engaging with the activator 12. Preferably, a damper 13 is located on the engaging device 16, so that the forces acting in the closing direction are damped and provides a soft rapprochement of both sliding flaps 1 and 2 at their minimum distance from each other. In addition, preferably, the engaging device 16 can be made without a mechanical or gas spring, in order to prevent that, when one sliding sash is separated from another sliding sash, the corresponding other sliding sash will not be caught. However, in the case of another structural embodiment or by means of additional elements, such as, for example, by means of a brake on the supporting element 3, the engaging device 16 can also be made with such a spring element.

Preferably, the engagement between the activator 12 and the pusher 17 is not stable. This means that at any moment of time, disengagement is possible in a simple manner, while engagement between the locking tab 11 and the supporting element 4 is durable after the initial fixation.

In the embodiment of the invention of FIG. 1-8, by means of the shockproof device 8 in the lower zone, a damped shock is provided when closing the sliding shutters 1 and 2, while the optional shockproof device 8 'in the upper zone of the guide rail 7 provides only an undamped shock.

It is also understood that the non-damped embodiment can be implemented in the lower zone, provided that the forces expected when the two sliding wings 1 and 2 are brought together are not too large.

The damped embodiment can also be implemented both in the region of the lower bearing rail 5 and in the region of the upper guide rail 7. In this case, it is also possible to use the shockproof device 8 exclusively in the region of the lower bearing rail 5 or exclusively in the region of the upper guide rail 7.

In any case, it is essential that the shockproof device 8 comprises a distance element 15 located in the sliding area of the sliding wings 1 and 2, in this case preferably in the area of the supporting and / or guide elements, since these elements are made of a stable material and, therefore, Thus, they can well absorb damped as well as non-damped impacts without damage, while the front edges of the sliding wings 1 or 2.

In FIG. 12-15, another embodiment of the invention is shown in which the shockproof device 8 is made together with a clip 14 instead of an activator 12. This embodiment is applicable if the engaging device 16 is not used for the design of the sliding door. At the same time, the correspondingly executed counterpart of the opposing supporting element 4 can enter and, if necessary, be fixed into the specified elastic clamp 14. In FIG. 14 and 15 clearly show how both sliding flaps 1 and 2 are held at a distance by the shock protection device 8 when the corresponding engaging elements were engaged. The geometry and function of the locking tab 11 are similar to the previous embodiment of the invention. In addition, at any time, the engagement between the clamp 14 and the counterpart of the carrier 4 can be opened without much effort.

In the embodiment of FIG. 12, 13, shock damping is possible only by an entry delay caused by friction in the jaw 14.

In conclusion, it should be noted once again the possibilities that exist and are considered in the framework of the present invention to prevent the collision of two sliding wings 1 and 2, moved in a common plane.

In the simplest case, a distance element 9 can be arranged between the two sliding shutters 1 and 2, either in the lower or upper guide zone, which prevents the two sliding shutters 1 and 2 from colliding with each other.

The above spacer element may also be located both above and below.

The shockproof device 8 can be damped, and such a shockproof device 8 can also be selectively implemented in the lower, upper, or also lower and upper guide zone.

In all cases, the advantage is provided that in each case a visually attractive design solution is implemented, since it covers the shockproof device 8.
