Definitions

• the invention relates to a floor seal of the type corresponding to the preamble of claim 1.
• Floor seals of this type which can be attached in particular to doors without thresholds, often have a rod-shaped or strip-shaped sealing arrangement which is present under or in the bottom edge of the door.
• This sealing arrangement closes the air gap between the lower edge of the door leaf and the floor.
• This can be a fixed or, as described in EP 0 424 973, an automatic sealing arrangement.
• Common to both arrangements is a sealing body and a guide rail guiding the sealing body, which are present over the entire length of the sealing arrangement, which in turn extends over the entire width of the door leaf.
• Doors of the type in question with a wooden frame usually have a groove in the area of the lower edge of the door leaf, into which the guide rail is inserted.
• Two types of fastening are preferred for fastening the guide rail in the wooden door leaves.
• the first type comprises fastening brackets to be attached on the end face, one leg of which engages in the outer housing of the seal and the other end of which is screwed from the folded side of the door leaf.
• the lower edge of the door leaf is often flat with the material thickness of the fastening angle Provide a groove to allow the free leg of the bracket to be flush with the lower edge of the door leaf.
• the legs of the outer housing are perforated at regular intervals by punching or drilling.
• the perforations are set so that when the guide rail is installed in the lower edge of the door leaf, the outer perforations are close to the outer edges of the lower edge of the door leaf, in order to achieve optimal fastening.
• Such floor seals are e.g. in DE-U-1 723 722 or US-A-1948108.
• the floor seals are offered in so-called stock lengths that correspond to the different widths of the standard door leaves.
• Stock lengths can be shortened up to the underlying stock length.
• the outer perforations are omitted and the seal must therefore be attached further away from the outer end face of the door leaf edge.
• this leads to a deformation of the thin-walled outer housing of the seal.
• the invention has for its object to provide a generic floor seal in a simple manner, in which the outer fastening points are always close to the ends of the bottom edge of the door leaf.
• the configuration of the lateral legs of the guide rail of the bottom seal which is hat-shaped in cross section, with a continuous zone in the longitudinal direction with a lesser material thickness, enables a targeted puncturing of the legs with nails or the like for fastening the guide rail without prior punching.
• the location and number of attachment points can therefore be chosen freely and adapted to the respective needs, without the position of previously made perforations in the guide rail being important.
• the guide rail which is preferably made of extruded aluminum, can thus be used with any door width without subsequent processing.
• the box-shaped legs according to the embodiment according to claim 2 have not only the above-mentioned outer longitudinal notch but also Inside the box-shaped leg, a second zone with reduced material thickness, which can also be pierced and is arranged so that an alignment of the fastening means parallel to the side walls of the guide rail is brought about.
• the inside of the box-shaped leg converges obliquely to form a notch, at the tip of which the box wall adjacent to the lower edge of the door leaf can be penetrated and which lies on a plane running through the first outer notch, which is parallel to the door leaf plane.
• a nail penetrates the wall of the box in the first outer notch, its tip is guided through the sloping inner walls of the box-shaped leg into the second notch and thus inevitably aligned.
• the nail then penetrates the wall of the box-shaped leg facing the lower edge of the door leaf and penetrates the lower edge of the door leaf parallel to the level of the door leaf.
• the nail is guided in its direction and can therefore be hammered in near the outside of the door leaf or near the guide rail of the floor seal without the risk of skewing and damage.
• the second, inner longitudinal notch advantageously has a certain depth, so that the inclined surfaces forming it develop a sufficient guiding effect for a nail tip or the like.
• a door has a floor seal arrangement, designated in the drawing as a whole with 100, which consists of a guide rail 2 produced by extrusion from an aluminum material, from a seal body designated as a whole as 1, which has a seal carrier 3 consisting of extruded profile material and an elastic sealing strip 5 fastened underneath comprises, one, the lifting and lowering movement of the sealing body 1 transverse and parallel to self-actuating actuating device (not shown) and two between the inside of the guide rail 2 and the outside of the seal carrier 3 sealing the lip parts 6.
• the guide rail 2 has a hat-shaped cross-sectional profile with a substantially U-shaped part engaging in the groove 13, from which the sealing strip 5 emerges downwards, and with two of the free edges of the U-legs on flat angled outward, ie the material thickness of the walls of the guide rail 2 have legs 7, which lie against the bottom edge 12 of the door leaf.
• the two legs 7 each have a zone with reduced material thickness in the form of a longitudinal notch 8, in the reason of which the material thickness is so small that the leg 7 can be relatively easily pierced by a nail, a screw or the like.
• FIG. 2 shows a lower edge of the door leaf 12, in which, in contrast to FIG. 1, the prevailing door gap H is significantly larger.
• the side legs 7 ' are not flat here, but rather have a hollow box shape.
• the total height K of the guide rail 2 is the same in both cases. This means that the large door gap H can be closed using the usual mechanics and fasteners.
• the guide rail 2 projects further downwards by the height I of the box-shaped legs 7 '. The installation depth of the guide rail in the lower edge of the door leaf 12 is thus reduced.
• the box shape of the legs 7 'of the sealing arrangement gives great stability against laterally acting forces which are caused, for example, by stones or other obstacles. These forces would otherwise lead to a deformation and thus to a functional impairment of the sealing arrangement.
• the outer legs 7 ' also have on their underside a first zone of reduced material thickness in the form of a longitudinal notch 8, which, due to a second zone of reduced material thickness in the form of a wall 17 of the box-shaped leg 7' on the inside of the lower edge of the door leaf 12 ', is provided , which is located inside the box.
• the inside of the side walls 14, 15 merges with the lower edge of the door leaf 12 in the case of inclined surfaces 9, 10 which run towards one another and which form the notch 11.
• the notch 11 has a rather large depth L, which in the exemplary embodiment is approximately 30% of the height of the interior of the box-shaped leg 7 ′ - measured perpendicular to the lower edge 12 of the door.
• the inclined surface 9 is also more extensive than the inclined surface 10, so that there is a larger cross-sectional triangle in the cross-sectional corner of the box-shaped leg 7 'adjacent to the guide rail 2 and the lower edge of the door leaf 12, which is desirable for reasons of stability against lateral loads.
• the longitudinal notches 8 and 11 lie in a plane A parallel to the door leaf plane.
• the nail N can penetrate the second wall 17 of the box-shaped leg 7 ′ facing the lower edge 12 in the notch 11 and thus penetrate along the plane A into the lower edge 12 of the door leaf T of the door T. This ensures that The nail N always enters the lower edge of the door leaf 12 parallel to the outer sides of the guide rail 2, thereby preventing damage to both the mechanics and the door.
