Description

Sliding element

The present invention relates to an easy-to-assemble sliding door element, in which the otherwise usual before assembly additional ancillary work on the construction completely unnecessary. The element comprises a one-piece chassis composed of two upright chuck parts and a transverse part, the track being an integral part of the cross member, a door member, a mullion with integrated guide pin for guiding the sliding door, a wall panel and trim to complete the transition from the chassis to the wall , The sliding door element according to the invention is particularly suitable for thin walls and can be easily used from a wall thickness of 70 mm.

Essentially two types of sliding doors are known in the prior art, sliding doors running in the wall and running in front of the wall, both of which entail various disadvantages due to the specific embodiment.

For sliding doors mounted in front of the wall, the doors usually run in a rail which runs over the door opening, the length of the rail corresponding to at least twice the width of the door opening. Even with a corresponding cladding of this track is always a visually disturbing impression, since the door only a maximum of half the rail length claimed and the protruding area seems to hang without reference to the wall or over the door. This is all the more apparent because the sliding area of the door must be kept free and the room can not be used. Furthermore, it is difficult to achieve without an expensive mechanism with such sliding door systems an adequate door closure, since the door by design runs at a distance in front of the wall, so that the door would have to be "set back" to close. For stronger walls also creates an asymmetric impression, since the door does not fall into the doorway, but as already mentioned, depends in front of this, so that in one room, the door "in the room", while in the other room remains a very deep opening which often adversely affects the impression of the room.

Although there are no disturbing visual impressions in the case of doors running in the wall, even the clean closing of the doors presents no problems, but the effort involved before and during installation is significantly higher. First, a sufficient wall thickness is required. With a thickness of the door leaf of 40 mm and a clearance of 10 mm (5 mm on each side), in this type of execution with a total wall thickness of 70 mm, a wall thickness of 20 mm (10 mm on each side) would still remain in the area. in which the door runs in the wall. The installation of a door running in the wall is therefore not possible with traditional methods with such a small wall thickness. However, this would preferably be more than 145 mm, in order to ensure a sufficient stability of the wall, which would also mean a very costly and costly installation.

To prepare for the installation of a conventional wall-mounted sliding door is generally unilateral with stones or slabs in the area in which the door is running, wall (usually less than half the thickness of the rest of the wall) walled up and the running rail attached to the fall. Subsequently, the second part of the wall is pulled up to a height of 2/3 of the total height. The necessary cleaning and painting work is done, but can not be completed before the final installation of the door. In a further step, the track is first clad, the sliding frame mounted, and only in the last step, the plaster and painting are completed.

As an alternative to this method, there are prefabricated boxes that are integrated when pulling up the wall. The following procedure is usual here:

The element consisting of sheet metal parts is assembled into a box and screwed. Then the preassembled box is connected to the wall, whereby it is to be ensured that the height (meter break) coincides with the later built-in floor. In the next step, screed and floor coverings are laid before the box is clad and the sliding door frame is mounted. In the final step, the necessary cleaning and painting work will be carried out.

While these assembly methods not only very complex and extensive ancillary work before installation are necessary, both are not suitable for use with a wall thickness of only 70 mm. Since the running rail of the door must be anchored in the lintel as tension-free as possible, the attachment of the same in the reinforced camber must be done very carefully.

In addition to the described elaborate preparation, the sliding doors running in the wall have another serious disadvantage. Once installed, servicing or repairing the track is virtually impossible without reopening the wall and destroying it. Likewise, the subsequent installation of a sliding door with these methods means a very high workload.

Object of the present invention, therefore, was a, even later, easy to install and maintain the sliding door element to provide that the disadvantages of the known prior art sliding doors, in particular the installation of doors with low wall thickness, not described above having

The sliding doors should continue to be functional and stable, close well, but also fit well into the room and look aesthetically pleasing. Both installation and element should be inexpensive to carry out or produce, since this represents an essential postulate for Bauwiрrss and also for home improvement. This rational production can be achieved in particular by a standardized production of the sliding door elements in mass production.

The object is achieved by sliding door elements, as described in the present claim 1. The elements are composed of standard parts and can as well can be easily inserted into existing openings like a normal door frame. The simple and integral design ensures fast and error-free installation. The one-piece design of the chassis and the mist-free decorative trim provide sufficient stability even with low wall thickness and allow doors to be mounted with a blade thickness of up to 60% of the wall thickness, without destroying the design unity of the wall and door.

The invention is illustrated by way of example by the figures 1 to 6, which show in the following:

Figure 1 shows the schematic structure of the sliding door element according to the invention.

Figure 2 shows in cross section along the line 3-3 in Figures 1 and 3, the schematic structure of a sliding door installation device according to the present invention with a multi-part wall element.

FIG. 3 shows, in a cross-section along the line 2-2 in FIG. 2, the schematic structure of a sliding door installation device according to the invention with a multi-part wall element.

Figure 4 shows in cross section along the line 1-1 in Figure 2, the schematic structure of a sliding door installation device according to the present invention with a multi-part walls element. Figure 5 shows in cross-section the schematic structure of a sliding door installation device according to the present invention with a multi-part wall element and an additional wall fastening element.

Figure 6 shows in cross section along the line 1-1 in Figure 5 the schematic structure of a sliding door installation device according to the present invention with a multi-part wall element and an additional wall fastening element.

The installation of sliding doors is often desirable not only because of optical and design aspects, but also from a planning point of view, since in small rooms no dead space is created by the free-to-hold pivoting area of a door. Furthermore, even with the demand for a wide passage sliding doors offer many advantages, since with increasing size of the door panel and the weight of the door, especially in glass doors, the mechanical load on the door fittings greatly increases and these can tear or deform.

While the installation of sliding doors is desirable in many respects, the known sliding doors are either difficult to mount and maintain with preliminary work (doors running in the wall), or they do not close sufficiently (doors running in front of the wall ) and / or they are not visually appealing.

With the present invention, therefore, a sliding door element is provided that is simple and universal. Even with walls of low wall thickness, is to install, is easy to maintain and aesthetically pleasing the transition between two spaces. Furthermore, the installation of the sliding door element is also possible after completion of the floor work and requires no preparatory ancillary work.

The element consists essentially of a one-piece chassis (comprising upright Futterteil and cross member), trim, a door element (comprising door leaf, adjusting screws, rollers and / or lock / snapper), a center post with integrated guide pin for stabilizing the door leaf and a wall element with mounting rail. All parts, such as chassis, wall element or center post, which receive wood or glass elements in one of the embodiments are each provided with the corresponding grooves.

Due to the design of the chassis, in which no edges reach over the wall, the chuck can be simply slid into the wall opening, aligned and fixed as an integral component. In a second step, the center post and wall element are mounted, in the third the ornamental clothing. In the fourth and final step, the door is hung and adjusted. The advantage of this embodiment is that the entire element essentially consists of only four parts (chassis / lining, wall element with center post, decorative clothing and door element). The production of these components as standard parts is very cost-effective, while the simple installation of the preassembled parts requires a short installation time and thus low installation costs. guaranteed. Furthermore, the possibilities for assembly errors are minimized by this extremely compact design.

The sliding door member is for walls having a thickness of 600 mm to 50 mm, preferably from 350 mm to 50 mm, more preferably from 200 mm to 60 mm, particularly preferably from 70 mm to 100 mm and most preferably for walls of wall thickness suitable with 70 mm.

The chassis is constructed in one piece and essentially comprises three parts, two upright chuck parts and a cross member, wherein the chuck parts preferably have a symmetrical structure for reasons of rational production.

However, the upright chuck parts can also be made asymmetrically. Preferably, they further have fasteners Ia on both sides, e.g. Feathers, for fastening the decorative clothing.

The upright chuck members may further include recesses for receiving the door in the open or closed state, the recesses correlating with the thickness of the door panel and having a clearance of up to 10mm (5mm on each side).

In the transverse part of the chassis, the running rail, which receives the rollers of the sliding door, integrated, so that an anchorage of the rail in the lintel is not required. By enclosing the track in the cross member can be checked from the factory, the quality of mounting the rail, a subsequent warping by stresses during installation, as in conventional systems, is practically impossible. In addition, the track is through the integration in the lining even without additional panels visually inconspicuous, so that the chassis (frame) gives a closed, uniform impression.

Like the upright chuck members, the cross member also has attachment means Ia on both sides, e.g. Springs, for fastening the decorative clothing. Moreover, the cross member has on both sides of the track rail longitudinal and parallel to the ground extending fasteners, e.g. Groove, for receiving veneers of the suspension system of the door element.

The chassis also includes fixing means known in the art for securing the chassis in the wall of the door opening.

The width of the chassis and thus the breakthrough corresponds to about twice the width of a conventional door to achieve a comparable opening width of the assembled door.

The decorative fittings to be mounted without fog ensure the completion between the lining of the chassis and the wall. The trim garments (4 for the upright chuck parts and 2 for the cross pieces) are matched in color, structure and shape to the chassis and have attachment means Ib (e.g., insertion grooves) for attachment to the corresponding fasteners 1a of the liners.

The door member comprises one or more arranged on its upper edge rollers for suspending the door in the running rail, and on its underside a guide channel for receiving the guide pin, the swinging of the door prevented and stabilized. The rollers are preferably connected via adjusting screws with the door leaf to allow the compensation of height differences in the ground.

The ends or certain positions of the guide channel and / or the track may be provided with stoppers to restrict the movement of the door beyond a certain extent, e.g. to the insertion holes of the rollers. The width of the door element corresponds at least to the planned passage opening, but is preferably at least 5 cm, more preferably at least 10 cm wider than the passage opening.

The door element may further include a locking device for locking the door or locking in a certain position, the locking device, e.g. a lock, both in the upright fodder, the cross member and / or the ground can hold, or locked the door in another known manner (sliding bolts, hooks and the like) at a suitable location. The locking or snap device may also be a magnet or a spring.

The door member further includes a door handle or similar means such as a recess, loop or the like.

The wall element is used to close the region of the passage, which is formed in doors running in the wall of the elaborately designed walls. The wall element in this case has fastening means for fastening (for example, tongue or groove) of the wall element with the side and the cross member and the center post. The underside of the wall Elements is formed by a groove which is pushed onto a fixed to the floor mounting rail.

The center post comprises a post, a connecting plate and a guide pin arranged on the connecting plate, wherein the connecting plate may have one or more holes for fixing the lower end of the post in the ground, while the upper end on the cross member of the chassis and the whole post, preferably via tongue and groove, is connected to the wall element.

Compared to a free arrangement of the pin in the floor, this arrangement has the advantage that the distance from door to center post and wall element is defined by the defined arrangement of the connecting plate exactly over the position of the guide pin, so that the door automatically in a correct vertical position in proportion is arranged to the running rail. This simple alignment of the components to each other is only possible by the integral construction of chassis with running rail, wall element and guide pin.

Alternatively, this connection plate can also be connected to the underside of the wall element, an attachment of the pin or the connection plate in the ground can then be omitted.

The guide pin may be any suitable pin known to those skilled in the art, such as a steel bolt, a Teflon coated steel bolt, a bolt with a horizontally mounted impeller, and the like. The above-exemplified fasteners are by no means limitative, for attachment, any means known to those skilled in the art may be used, such as tongue and groove, bores and tenons (with or without glue), fittings and the like.

In a preferred embodiment, lining, trim, door element and wall element (including center post, top and bottom frame) are made of wood or veneered wood. However, the components may alternatively be made of other suitable materials, e.g. veneered chip, metal, plastic, glass (door leaf) and / or composite materials or a combination of the aforementioned materials.

In a further preferred embodiment, the rollers are concealed by two additional screens, which are arranged by means of suitable fastening means in parallel on both sides of the running rail.

In one embodiment, the trim panels of each room side, like the chassis, are integrally formed as a downwardly open rectangle, more preferably already the trim panels are fixedly mounted on a room side of the chassis so that the chassis is slid from one side into the door opening.

In one embodiment, buffers and / or seals are disposed in the recesses of the lining to cushion and close the door stop. Furthermore, the wall element or the center post, or at the closed door on the wall element adjacent door edge be arranged a seal to allow an improved closure of the door.

In a preferred embodiment, a glass pane is integrated in the wall element.

In a further embodiment of the present invention, the wall element is constructed in several parts and comprises at least one plate and a lower frame, wherein the plate made of glass, wood, plastic, metal or composite materials, but preferably made of glass. The plate may have ornaments, etchings and / or patterns. In this embodiment, the mounting rail on one side arranged recesses for receiving a lever to press the plate with the resting in the recesses of the mounting rail lever up into the receiving groove of the cross member and to hold there until the lower frame pushed over the mounting rail is. Alternatively, the lower frame can be anchored directly in the ground and the plate can be inserted.

In another embodiment, the wall element and the center post are also part of the chassis.

In a further preferred embodiment, the chassis is composed of three parts, two upright chuck parts and a cross piece, on site. All linings have fastening means known in the art for this purpose for fixing the lining to each other and fixing the lining to the wall of the opening.

In yet another embodiment, the sliding door element includes wall fastening elements which serve as spacers, these preferably corresponding in color and structure of the decorative clothing. This embodiment is particularly preferred for walls with low wall thickness (<100 mm). By the spacer elements, the possibility is created, even in walls with a wall thickness which is less than twice as strong as the door leaf to mount the sliding door elements according to the invention. Furthermore, when using spacers of different thickness, a frame can be adapted to different wall thicknesses without sawing or the like. Due to the flowing transitions of spacer, trim and lining the overall wider frame is unobtrusive and appealing integrated into the wall and the installation of a sliding door with a wall thickness, which does not allow this in conventional systems, allows.

In an alternative embodiment, the trim covers not only serve to cover the junctions, but also connect the liners to the spacers so that the linings do not have to be fastened themselves in the wall. The result is a wider stable mounting frame for the sliding door, which fits aesthetically pleasing and visually inconspicuous in the wall opening.

In the case of unevenly bricked and inclined passages or openings, this embodiment furthermore has the advantage that unevenness and protrusions are compensated. can, because the food is not attached directly to the masonry.

In a further embodiment, wall elements are arranged on both sides of the running track, so that the impression arises that the door would run "in the wall".

In another embodiment, the sliding door element comprises a lighting device, e.g. can be arranged in the wall element or in the lining. A corresponding cable guide and connection recesses must already be considered during production or during installation. The switching on of the illumination can be e.g. automatically with the opening or closing of the door.

In an alternative embodiment at e.g. large wall thickness, the running rail can be arranged asymmetrically in the frame, so that the wall element, e.g. is designed in the form of a bookshelf.

Another embodiment comprises a spring mechanism or pulling mechanism for automatically closing the door, which may be arranged in or parallel to the running rail.

In yet another embodiment, the installation means comprises a sensor and / or switch and a drive unit for automatically opening and closing the door.

In another embodiment, two elements are combined to form a double sliding door, the transverse part being is not merged with connectors, or the element receives a continuous cross member.

In an alternative embodiment, two or more door members, which may optionally be coupled together, run in parallel rails so that the width of the passage is increased in proportion to the overall width of the sliding door member.

The present invention further comprises a method for producing a sliding door element, characterized in that the method comprises the following steps:
