Definitions

  • the invention relates to a door sill with a threshold body designed as a hollow profile, and with a lid to be fastened, which covers a recess of the threshold body and is fastened to the latter by means of a latching connection.
  • Such a threshold is known from DE-OS 43 10 013.
  • the recess of the sleeper body is designed as a longitudinally running groove, through the groove bottom of which a dowel for fastening the threshold is inserted into the floor.
  • the head of a fastening screw which is screwed into the dowel, fits into the groove.
  • the groove is closed by the cover, the screw head or, in the case of several fastening points, several screw heads being covered.
  • the locking connection between the cover and the sleeper body can be designed so that a release of the cover is not possible without the risk of destroying the locking connection. This presupposes a correct installation, as well as a correct cutting of the cover. However, this cannot be expected if the threshold is used by laypersons.
  • the invention is therefore based on the object to improve a door sill with the features mentioned in such a way that the cover is only weakly attached to the sleeper body in order to be able to attach and remove it several times, but that the cover is also tightly connected to the sleeper body can be, if the solubility is not or no longer required.
  • a securing device is arranged in the recess of the sleeper body, which secures the latched cover in a first securing position in a releasable manner or in a second securing position in a practically non-releasable manner.
  • connection strength of the latching connection is influenced in a selectable manner within the recess of the sleeper body.
  • the safety device intended for this is adjustable accordingly.
  • the adjustability is designed so that the lid to be locked is secured either releasably or practically non-releasably. If the cover is releasably secured, the snap-in connection can be separated again without any problems. It is therefore possible to connect the lid and the threshold body for packaging in order to be able to produce a packaging unit in a simple manner. It is also readily possible to releasably connect the cover to the location of the installation of the sleeper body in order to have later access to the groove if necessary.
  • the securing device is adjusted so that a latching connection of the cover on the sleeper body can no longer be released without special knowledge of the connection setup and care, at least not without the risk of destroying the components involved in the locking connection.
  • the securing device blocks the problem-free release of the latching connection. This has the advantage that unintentional loosening of the latching connection is prevented, for example by walking on it. Loads that occur during the use of the door sill do not lead to the cover being released. Such loads also occur, for example, as a result of counter-impact when the door threshold is exceeded, or in the form of bending or torsional stresses in the case of changes in the floor and fastening area which over the course of time go unnoticed.
  • the recess of the sleeper body as desired, e.g. as a concave cavity of limited radial size. It is particularly advantageous, however, to design the door sill so that the recess is a longitudinally continuous groove and the cover is a flat rail, and that several, spaced apart securing points are arranged in the recess.
  • the material expenditure for the design of the cover as a flat rail is greater, but the production expenditure is reduced in that both the longitudinally running groove of the sleeper body and the flat rail can be produced in a conventional manner by extrusion.
  • This also makes it possible to arrange the securing points for the latching connection in such a way, that is to say with such a distance from one another as is considered necessary on account of the respectively required installation and fastening conditions.
  • the door threshold can be designed so that the cover has a latching projection which engages in the recess and can be acted upon by the securing device.
  • the securing device acts directly or indirectly on the cover.
  • the latching projection of the lid can be designed as a latching agent, that is, it indirectly secures the lid to the sleeper body.
  • the door threshold is designed such that the securing device has a first securing projection supporting a latching projection near the cover plate and a second securing projection supporting a latching projection near the bottom of the recess.
  • the two locking projections influence the snap connection either in the vicinity of the cover plate or in the vicinity of the floor. Accordingly, you can exert different influence on the locking projection.
  • the securing projections are of different lengths and accordingly act differently elastically.
  • the securing projection with the greater elasticity is accordingly assigned to the first securing position, which can be released, while the securing projection with the lower elasticity is assigned to the second securing position, in which the cover is practically unsolvable. It depends on the design of the securing device which of the two securing projections is more elastic.
  • the effective locking protrusion near the cover plate has the greater elasticity due to its greater length compared to the other locking protrusion and forms it first securing position.
  • the latching grooves of the latching projection cause above all that by latching a securing projection into a latching groove of the latching projection, reaching the latching or securing position during assembly is clearly recognizable.
  • the latching projection is a longitudinal strip of the cover that is adjacent to or abuts a side surface of a recess wall and can engage on the other side surface of one of the locking projections.
  • the bar of the lid is practically on the recess wall and takes up little space.
  • the recess or the groove of the threshold body is not subdivided in such a way that the design of the safety device is impaired.
  • the securing device has a support disk lying flat, from which the securing projections protrude vertically.
  • the carrier disc lying flat on the bottom of the recess has little vertical load and enables the necessary lengths of the securing projections to be formed so that they are correspondingly elastic as desired.
  • Such a carrier disk can be fastened in a simple manner in the recess of the sleeper body.
  • the door sill is designed so that the carrier disc is screwed to the bottom of the recess and / or is clamped by means of disc edges engaging in grooves in the recess, if necessary. Screwing has the advantage of a particularly good connection strength. A jammed carrier disc is easy to install and is sufficient for normal load cases.
  • the door sill is designed such that the carrier disc is circular and is provided with spring projections opposite spring parts and / or twist stops.
  • the carrier plate is provided in the center with an adjustment head which has an engagement recess for a twist handle.
  • this is also easy to adjust due to its circular design and with the aid of the twisting handle so that either the first securing position or the second securing position is reached. A special loosening of the assembly of the carrier disc with the sleeper body is not necessary.
  • the cover is provided with a roof surface that is bevelled outwards. This allows consideration to be given to installation and stability conditions, but above all the inclination of the cover serves to drain water that reaches the cover, for example, so that it cannot get into the area of the safety device.
  • a threshold 10 is used, for example, in connection with frame bars 31 to build a door frame. Since the door sill 10 to be fastened on a floor surface, not shown, is profiled deviating from a plane on the side of the frame spar, a threshold holder 32 is necessary which mediates between the profiled outer surface of the door sill 10 and the flat end face of the frame spar 31 facing it. A seal 33 is provided for sealing.
  • the assembly is carried out by screwing, on the one hand the frame member 31 is connected to the sleeper holder 32 by fillister head screws 34, which are screwed into the frame member 31 by a fastening tab 35 of the sleeper holder 32, and by the additional fillister head screws 36 through fastening holes not shown in FIG of the threshold holder 32 are inserted and screwed between the open-side holding ribs 37, cf. Fig. 1.
  • the frame profile 31 sits on the door sill 10 by means of the sleeper holder 32 according to FIG. 3 and only covers the part of the recess 13 located under the frame rail 31 or the sleeper holder 32, while the area of the recess 13 open on the door leaf side 4 must be closed with the lid 12.
  • the threshold 10 is fastened to the floor, not shown, for example with the dowel 38 shown in FIG. 2, which is inserted through a hole in the threshold body 11, not shown, into a fastening hole in the floor, so that its collar 38 'on the floor 19 Recess 13 sits.
  • the fastening screw 39 is then screwed into the dowel until its head 39 'is arranged within the collar 38', see FIG. 3.
  • the recess 13 of the sleeper body 11 is formed as a longitudinally continuous groove which has an essentially rectangular cross section. Accordingly, it has two mutually parallel recess walls 22, between which the vertical floor 19 extends horizontally. In the corner areas between the recess walls 22 and the bottom 19 are grooves 25, see Fig.3, which are used to attach safety devices 15.
  • the disc edges 26 claw into the grooves 25 of the recess 13, so that the securing device 15 cannot be pulled out easily.
  • the securing device 15 is installed by pushing it in, the carrier disk 24 having to be correspondingly elastic.
  • it is made of plastic, for example, as are the other components of the securing device 15.
  • securing projections 18, 20 projecting vertically upward from the carrier disk 24.
  • the first securing projection 20 is long compared to the second securing projection 18. According to FIG. 5c, it extends from the carrier disk 24 into the vicinity of the cover 12. In comparison, the second securing projection 18 protrudes only slightly upwards.
  • Both securing projections 18, 20 are hook-like at their outer end, as can be seen from FIGS. 5 a to 5 d without any problems.
  • a snap connection 14 is provided. This now does not consist of coupling parts on the cover 12 on the one hand and on the sleeper body 11 on the other hand, but a strip of the cover 12 forms a locking projection 17 which can interact with the securing projections 18, 20. Therefore, the cover 12 is coupled to the threshold body 11 indirectly via these safety projections 18, 20.
  • the latching projection 17 is closely adjacent to the one recess wall 22 with a side surface 21 and consequently only takes up as much space from the cross section of the recess 13 as is necessary due to its cross-sectional configuration. The remaining space is the arrangement of the security device 15 or the arrangement of the dowel collar 38 'are available. So that the latching projection 17 can interact with the securing projections 18, 20 despite their different lengths, it is profiled accordingly. It has a longitudinally extending locking groove 17 'which is arranged such that it can be engaged by the longer of the two securing projections 18, 20 when the cover 12 is mounted.
  • a latching groove 17 ′′ is arranged in the latching projection 17, with which the hook of the securing projection 20 can interact when the cover 12 is mounted.
  • the locking groove 17 'and the locking groove 17'' lie approximately as close together as it corresponds to the corresponding height difference of the safety projections 18, 20 or their hooks.
  • FIG. 5 a shows that the cover 12 on the vertical edge 40, which is essentially formed by a cover closing a cavity 41, can have some distance from this edge 40.
  • the distance is large enough to insert a screwdriver or similar lever 42 and to be able to pry open the cover 12 by moving in the direction of the arrow.
  • the prerequisite for this is that the securing projection 20 is in the position shown, which is also shown in FIG. 5c.
  • FIG. 3 shows that the safety device 15 can also be adjusted.
  • an adjustment head 27 is provided, which is integral with the carrier disk 24.
  • An engagement recess 28 for a twist handle 29 is present on the top side in the adjustment head 27. This is inserted with its illustrated tip into the engagement recess 28 and the entire securing device 15 is rotated by 90 degrees. This position is shown in Fig.5d.
  • the second securing projection 20 comes into the vicinity of the recess wall 22.
  • the carrier disc 24 remains clawed with its edges 26 in the grooves 25 of the recess 13.
  • a spring recess 49 is arranged diametrically opposite each securing projection 18, 20 in the vicinity of a disk edge 26 and forms the spring parts 44, 45 shown in FIG.
  • the spring part 44 is arranged diametrically opposite the longer securing projection 20 without increasing the outer diameter formed by the disk edges 26.
  • the spring part 35 projects radially beyond the edge of the disk 26, so that there is a correspondingly strong clamping of the carrier disk 24 between the walls 22 and thus a correspondingly strong fixation of the securing projection 18th
  • the carrier disc 24 is provided with twist stops 46, 47.
  • 6b shows the twist stop 46 in contact with the left wall 22.
  • the securing projection 20 is adjacent to the other recess wall 22.
  • the position shown in FIG. 6b corresponds to the illustration in FIG. 5c.
  • the carrier disk 24 can be rotated into the position shown in FIG. 6e via the intermediate positions of FIGS. 6c and 6d.
  • the twist stop 47 bears against the left wall 22.
  • the shorter securing projection 18 is located adjacent to the opposite recess wall.
  • FIG. 5 a An assembly according to FIG. 5 a is carried out, for example to sell a cut of a door sill 10 or to try out the door sill 10. If the cover 12 is to be fastened as firmly as possible on the swell body 11, the securing device becomes 15 rotated into the position shown in FIGS. 5b and 5d and the cover 12 is placed in accordance with FIG. 5b.
  • a strong sudden action on the cover 12 in the direction of the arrow of Fig.5b ensures that the extreme end or the edge of the strip-shaped locking projection 17 is positioned so that the hook of the locking projection 20 in the locking groove 17 '' of the locking projection 17 engages and thus the desired correspondingly rigid connection between cover 12 and threshold body 11 is achieved.
  • the cover 12 is provided with an externally beveled roof surface 30, as can be seen in FIG.
  • the roof surface 30 is thus inclined outwards from the vertical edge 40 of the threshold body 11 on the inside of the door, in order to be able to drain water and dirt and to form a run-up surface for a sealing profile which may be present in the door leaf with a high-density bottom closure corresponding to the slope.
