Device for the movable arrangement of a sliding door

description

The invention relates to a device for the movable arrangement of a sliding door in the region of a preferably having an opening wall, wherein the sliding door is movable at least in a first stop position, with a wall of the first associated stopper as a stop for the sliding door in the stop position, wherein the first stopper - Is placed in the stop position of the sliding door - near an upper edge or near an upper corner of the sliding door.

Sliding doors are usually moved on rails suspended. The movement of the sliding door along the running rail is limited by one or more stoppers, for example in the region of the running rail itself, ie near an upper corner of the sliding door. When the sliding door stops on the stopper, a torque is generated which can lead to a jump movement of the sliding door. In the unfavorable case, the sliding door jumps out of the running rail in the area of its corner nearest the stopper. To avoid damaging torque, sliding doors in the center of gravity should be intercepted with an additional stopper. Such a stopper is detrimental to the overall design because it stands alone on the wall or floor and is not integrated with other functional components.

The object of the present invention is to provide a device in which the additional stopper in the region of the center of gravity can be avoided.

The device provided for solving the problem is characterized by a second, the wall or a floor associated stopper as a stop for the sliding door in the stop position, wherein the second stopper - in the stop position - is arranged near a lower edge of the sliding door. In this case, the second stopper can also be arranged on the ground, near the wall. The second stopper can be arranged much less inconspicuous near the lower edge of the sliding door than in the region of a center of gravity of the sliding door. According to a further aspect of the invention, at least one of the stoppers is concealed by the sliding door or parts thereof. This applies in particular to the lower stopper.

According to a further aspect of the invention, one of the stoppers is arranged in the stop position of the sliding door near a front edge thereof in the direction of movement of the sliding door. At the same time, the other stopper is arranged near a rear edge of the sliding door. In the stop position of the sliding door, the two stoppers are diametrically opposite each other. At each lateral edge one of the two stoppers is arranged.

Advantageously, the lower stopper is part of a lower guide for the sliding door. A guide body is preferably arranged on the floor and at the same time formed as a stopper. For example, the sliding door has a downwardly open groove on its lower narrow side, into which the guide body enters.

According to a further aspect of the invention, at least one of the stoppers is effective in both directions of movement of the sliding door. The movement of the sliding door is preferably limited in both directions by stoppers. In an effective in both directions stopper the number of stoppers can be reduced in total.

Advantageously, the sliding door can be moved on a running rail associated with the wall, and the first (upper) stopper is assigned to the running rail. In particular, the stopper is arranged directly on the running rail. The upper portion of the front edge of the sliding door in the direction of movement then strikes the stopper in the stop position.

According to a further aspect of the invention, the sliding door and in particular at least one of the stoppers have means for locking the sliding door. The means can also be arranged outside the respective stopper on the wall or floor. The means on the sliding door on the one hand and on the stopper (or outside thereof), on the other hand, preferably correspond to one another in such a way that force, frictional or positive locking occurs, thus keeping the sliding door in the stop position or another position becomes. In this case, a spring element may be provided, the spring force must be overcome to solve in order to solve the lock can.

According to a further aspect of the invention, the means for locking the sliding door on a projection and a corresponding recess on. In this case, the projection (in the stop position of the sliding door) preferably emerges resiliently into the recess and when moving the sliding door out of the recess. Preferably

Projection and depression designed so that no self-locking occurs.

For example, the stopper has a recess, while the sliding door is provided with a projection which can resiliently enter the recess.

According to a further aspect of the invention, the sliding door has at least one collision body, which cooperates with one of the stoppers. The sliding door therefore does not strike itself, i. with a frame or an end face on the stopper. Rather, a specially provided collision body is arranged on the sliding door. In particular, a collision body is provided when the door has a downwardly open groove, which is moved in its longitudinal direction over a stopper (on the ground). The collision body can then close the groove.

Advantageously, the collision body has a means for locking the sliding door. The means for locking is integrated into or connected to the collision body and cooperates with a locking means on the stopper or elsewhere.

According to a further aspect of the invention, the collision body has a resilient strip with a projection, the latter cooperating with a depression on the stopper or elsewhere. The resilient strip is then the sliding door associated means for locking. Projection and depression can also be arranged vice versa, namely with a recess on the resilient strip and a projection on the stopper or elsewhere.

The invention further relates to a device for the movable arrangement of a sliding door in the region of a preferably having an opening wall, wherein the sliding door is movable at least in a first stop position and is provided with a guide of the sliding door in the region of a lower edge of the sliding door, and wherein the guide has a guide body which is fixedly arranged and guides the movement of the sliding door. According to the invention, means for locking the sliding door are integrated in the guide body, which interact with corresponding means on the sliding door. The last-mentioned invention, namely the integration of the means for locking in the guide body, together with the invention described above - the special arrangement of a second stopper - or applied without them. As stated above, can be achieved by the means for locking the sliding door a force, friction or positive locking, with or without spring action.

Advantageously, the guide body has an upward opening into which a projection associated with the sliding door slidably enters a locking position of the sliding door.

Further features of the invention will become apparent from the description, moreover, and from the claims. Advantageous embodiments of the invention will be explained in more detail with reference to drawings. Show it:

1 is a wall with a sliding door in the open position,

2 the wall with sliding door in the closed position,

Fig. 3 is a left upper corner of the sliding door with track and stopper, and

Fig. 4 is a right lower corner of the sliding door with locking means and collision body and arranged on the ground guide body, which is also designed as a stopper.

On a wall 10, a sliding door 1 1 for opening and closing an here designed as a passage opening 12 is movable. The sliding door 11 is arranged suspended, namely suspended in this case on a horizontal rail 13.

The rail 13 is mounted above the opening 12 on the wall 10 and engages laterally, namely in the here hidden, directed to the wall 10 back of the sliding door 11 a. The sliding door 11 has on its rear side a corresponding lateral groove, are stored in the rollers running on the rail 13.

Alternatively, the sliding door 11 can be moved in a manner not shown here on a arranged above the sliding door 11 rail hanging.

In Fig. 1, the opening 12 is open. The sliding door 11 is thus in the open position. In contrast, in Fig. 2, a closed position of the door 11 is shown. When moving the sliding door 11 from the open position shown in FIG. 1 in the closed position shown in FIG. 2, the sliding door 11 proposes with its upper left corner 14 at an upper left stopper 15. This has here the sliding door 11 facing damping elements 16 and is attached to the left end of the rail 13 or in this area on the wall 10.

Upon impact of the sliding door 11 on the stopper 15 acts a torque which can lead to tilting of the sliding door. In order to absorb this torque, another stopper is provided, namely a right lower stopper 17 (in the closed position). The latter is fastened to the wall 10 or to the bottom 18, directly below right next to the opening 12.

The sliding door 1 1 has here on its narrow underside a groove 19 which engages over the stopper 17. Accordingly, the sliding door 11 is guided in the region of its bottom by the stopper 17 in the groove 19. Thus, the stopper 17 at the same time has the function of a guide body.

The sliding door 1 1 has a collision body 20, 21 in the region of the lower left corner and the lower right corner. Preferably, the collision bodies are embedded in the groove 19 at the two ends thereof.

The collision bodies 20, 21 cooperate with the stopper 17. In the closed position according to FIG. 2, the collision body 21 strikes the stopper 17. In the opening position according to FIG. 1, the collision body 20 cooperates with the stopper 17. 4, the stopper 17 is embedded in the bottom 18 and has on both sides damping elements 22, on which the collision bodies 20, 21 can come to rest.

In the closed position shown in FIG. 2, the forces occurring during the closing of the sliding door 11 are absorbed by the two stoppers 15, 17, so that there is no torque leading to tilting of the door on the door.

According to FIG. 1, a further stopper 23 is provided, namely a right upper stopper 23 with respect to the opening position. When the door is moved into the open position, it hits the stopper 23 with its upper right corner 24, while the left collision body 20 with the lower stopper 17 cooperates.

In the illustrated configuration, the selection and arrangement of the stoppers is particularly advantageous. The two upper stoppers 15, 23 are optically part of the rail 13 and therefore inconspicuous. The lower stopper 17 is hidden by the sliding door 11. The collision bodies 20, 21 are flush with narrow side surfaces 25, 26 of the sliding door 11.

A special feature is shown in FIG. 4. The collision body 21 is a downwardly directed leg of an angle, which is inserted from below into the groove 19. Here comes in the direction of movement of the door extending leg 27 of the angle along the groove 19 to lie and lies with its top on the bottom 28 of the groove 19 and is attached to the bottom 28.

In the stopper 17, which is at the same time guide body, on the one hand and the angle with collision body on the other hand locking means for the sliding door 11 are integrated. These allow a stable hold of the sliding door 1 1 in the closed position shown in FIG. 2. Similarly, corresponding means may be provided in the region of the left collision body 20.

The locking means consist here of a strip-shaped spring 29 which is screwed on one side with the upper leg 27 and by bending a downwardly directed projection 30 forms, and a recess 31 or bore in the stopper 17th or guide body. In this case, the recess 31 extends perpendicular to the bottom 18. Fig. 4 shows the closed position shown in FIG. 2. The spring 19 protrudes with its projection 30 partially into the recess 31 into it. It consists in the direction of movement of the sliding door 11 positive connection. Due to the spring characteristics of the protrusion 30 can emerge without self-locking in conjunction with sufficiently large opening force from the recess 31. The integration of the locking means in the guide body or stopper 17 and the collision body 21 in turn allows a visually particularly inconspicuous construction.

In not shown here, the mentioned locking means may also be provided in the region of the collision body 20.
