Definitions

  • the invention relates to a sealing arrangement for a threshold-free door, with a a receiving groove in the lower edge of a door wing insertable guide rail and with a on a retaining profile in this attached sealing body, which is between one in the Guide rail retracted, upper and one protruding from this, extended, lower position is displaceable and one in the latter against a floor or a door frame Pressable, lying below the holding profile sealing section, which is on both sides of the Holding profile each with this laterally comprehensive, protruding into the interior of the guide rails
  • Side legs is provided, each of which is on the associated side wall of the Slidably supports the guide rail and also next to one also inside the Guide rail extending lateral profile leg of the holding profile lies.
  • a U-shaped plastic profile bar attached, which is also used for floor to be sealed open and with its central web on top of the central web of the holding profile is attached so that its side legs between the side legs of the holding profile and the Side walls of the guide rail extend and are so spread outwards that they are in Area of their free ends on the facing inside of the guide rail slide.
  • This known sealing arrangement is relatively expensive to assemble and is also with regard to Noise reduction not very effective.
  • a sealing arrangement of the type mentioned at the outset is described in EP 0 338 974 B1.
  • the holding profile has a U-shaped inside the U-shaped guide rail Section, but the opening against the orientation of the U
  • the guide rail is open into the interior of the guide rail.
  • the well-known Sealing arrangement consists essentially of one to be sealed in the direction Elastic sealing strip protruding towards the opposite surface, each on one of its two sides side legs extending into the interior of the guide rail.
  • the sealing strip Projections are held in a form-fitting manner in correspondingly provided holding recesses, wherein the side legs from this attachment point at an angle towards the assigned Side wall of the guide rail run out and sliding with its free end on this issue.
  • the structure of this known seal arrangement is simpler than in the next Prior art cited above.
  • the side legs of the sealing body have a relatively large contact area at its free end against the side wall of the guide rail apply, there are comparatively large frictional forces with a relative displacement, what in the course of time to a noticeable abrasion and thus to a decrease in Sealing effect against the outside of the sealing arrangement leads and at the expense of it Lifetime goes.
  • this known sealing arrangement is also in terms of its Noise insulation properties (in the sealing state) are not particularly favorable.
  • the invention has for its object a sealing arrangement type mentioned at the outset so that in the sealing position (extended state of the sealing body) the sound insulation is improved.
  • each side leg of the elastic sealing body with its free end region against the end face of the free end of the profile leg of the holding profile arranged next to it is present under pressure, this end surface at least partially covered laterally and on its side facing the corresponding side wall of the guide rail several in Direction of displacement of the sealing body offset parallel to each other, essentially over its entire length extending elastic projections are provided to the sliding system serve the side wall of the guide rail, being in the extended position of the Sealing body still at least two of these projections of each side leg in contact stand with the side wall of the guide rail.
  • the multiple arrangement of the lateral Sliding projections achieved that even at least in the extended state of the seal two, but preferably even more of these projections are still in contact with the system facing side surface of the guide rail. Because the projections in the direction of displacement are arranged offset to each other and each over the entire length of the relevant Side legs of the seal body will run between them, also in this one extended state of the sealing body, over the entire length of the guide rail away from each other by the projections, each self-contained spaces created, which creates effective sound insulation from the outside of the door through the Interior of the guide rail is reached through.
  • the shape as well as the number of protrusions on the side legs of the elastic Seal body can be set in a suitable manner, including for a specific Design case special configurations can be made. However, it has proven to be proven particularly advantageous if the projections in cross section in the form of curved knobs, in particular are semicircularly curved.
  • each side leg of the elastic sealing body attached Four projections are preferred on each side leg of the elastic sealing body attached, which leads to a fully satisfactory function in most applications. If however, longer distances are required to reach the extended position of the sealing body should be, it is also easily possible to have a larger number of protrusions on both Attach side legs of the elastic sealing body.
  • each side leg on its the inner wall of the guide rail facing side is provided with a support layer on which the projections (in one piece) are formed and which consists of a material with particularly favorable friction properties, with, particularly preferably, this material of the support layer and the projections being a larger one Has hardness than that of the elastic sealing body. So it is possible that by appropriate Choice of the material for the overlay and the protrusions specifically those that occur Friction can be taken into account, while regardless of the material of the Sealing body whose sealing function can be optimally adapted in the extended state can.
  • each profile leg of the holding profile assigned side leg of the sealing body facing side of the position of the projections correspondingly arranged depressions are formed.
  • the sealing section of the Sealing body formed in the form of a hollow cross section, which on its the holding profile facing side abuts against this and there is a centrally located, towards the Retaining profile projecting support foot (which is made of the same elastic material as the Sealing body) has, which in an assigned central receiving opening of the Holding profile engages and is positively supported there.
  • the sealing section is preferably on its side facing away from the holding profile in the form of an formed essentially circular arc-shaped sealing web which at Press against the counter surface to be sealed (floor or door frame) against it Bulging can easily compress.
  • each Side legs of the sealing body designed so that it over the end face of the free end of the profile leg of the holding profile extending next to it also protrudes. It will possible that with a suitable dimensioning of the guide rail and the other elements the sealing arrangement according to the invention with the fully retracted state, the free end of each Side legs between the end face of each profile leg and the central portion of the Guide rail can be slightly squeezed, which in the retracted state of the Sealing body due to the crushing that otherwise occurs in such Seal arrangements existing rattling noises in the interior of the Guide rail can be avoided completely.
  • the guide rail can be designed in any suitable shape, but has a very special feature preferably has a U-shaped cross-section which is directed towards the floor to be sealed, Frame or the like is open.
  • the holding profile also preferably forms on its upper part which surrounds the profile leg Section of a U-shaped cross section, which, opposite to the opening direction of the U cross section the guide rail is open into the interior of the guide rail.
  • a particularly preferred embodiment of the sealing body according to the invention also exists in that the end face of each profile leg of the holding profile of which the side wall of the assigned guide rail facing the outside obliquely in the direction of the other profile leg, that is, into the interior of the space spanned by the guide rail there, runs.
  • FIG. 1 a sealing arrangement for a threshold-free door is shown (in cross section), 1 shows the retracted state and FIG. 2 the extended sealing state.
  • the sealing arrangement consists of a cross-sectionally U-shaped guide rail 1 in shape of an aluminum extruded profile, but it is also readily as a corresponding bent sheet metal part or can be made in any other suitable form.
  • a support profile 2 also in the form of an aluminum extruded profile, arranged, which in its upper, d. H. the opening of the U-profile Section facing away from the guide rail 1, however, into the interior of the guide rail 1 has open U-shaped training.
  • This consists of two side profile legs 3 and 4, which their feet are connected to each other via a transverse connecting web 5.
  • the lateral profile legs 3, 4 run in their Extension still beyond the junction of the connecting web 5 and form below the same (i.e. on its side facing away from the interior of the guide rail 1), that is to say in 1 and 2 lower side, a profile section, which for receiving and anchoring Holding foot 6 is used, which in turn on a sealing body 7 made of elastic, for.
  • the holding foot 6 can be made in one piece with the Seal body, so be made with the same material as this. In which Embodiment in the figures, however, it consists of a different material than that Sealing body 7, which is used for good anchoring within the holding section of the support profile 2 is particularly suitable.
  • the sealing body 7 has on both sides in cross section side legs 8 and 9, the one of Hollow profile formed sealing section 10 in the formed by the guide rail 1 Protrude inside.

  • a support layer 12 which is made of a harder elastic Material as the sealing body 7 and with the side wall 11 of the guide rail 1 out bulging projections or knobs 13 is provided.
  • Sealing arrangements are attached to each side leg 8 or 9 four projections 13, which over the entire longitudinal extent of the side legs 8 and 9 (perpendicular to Drawing plane of Figures 1 and 2) run and are arranged parallel to each other, wherein they in Direction of movement of the sealing body 7 in and out relative to the profile rail 1 are attached offset to each other.
  • the distances between two neighboring ones Projections 13 on each leg 8 or 9 can each be the same size or different be selected, but the distances and the number of projections 13 are provided such that in the extended position of sealing body 7 and holding profile 3 shown in cross section in FIG. 2 at least two (in the embodiment shown: even three) projections 13 on each Side legs 8, 9 still remain in contact with the side wall 11 of the guide rail 1 (see illustration of FIG. 2).
  • the design of the cross-sectional shape of the sliding knobs 13 is preferably chosen to be semicircular, as is the case with the exemplary embodiment shown. However, it could be another Cross-sectional shape for the projections 13 are used, in particular in cross-section recommend rounded protrusions.
  • the lateral profile legs 3 and 4 of the holding profile 2 are inclined at their free ends extending end surfaces 14 and 15 provided obliquely in the illustration of FIGS. 1 and 2 at the top (in the direction of the opposite profile leg 4 or 3, ie rise from the assigned side wall 11 of the guide rail 1).
  • the side legs 8 and 9 of the elastic sealing body 7 are with their end regions 15 and 16 in the direction of the associated inclined end face 14 or 15 of the adjacent profile leg 3 or 4 angled towards each and rest against this under elastic compressive prestress. there These end regions 15, 16 completely cover the relevant end surface 14, 15, as shown in FIG. 1 and 2 is shown.
  • the support layer 12 also extends on each Side legs 8, 9 up to its free end, so that they also the angled end portion 14th or 15 covered on the outside.
  • this sealing web 20 are two on its two side areas in the direction of the on the corresponding side projecting short sealing tongues 21, 22 attached.
  • the sealing web 20 with the two sealing tongues 21 and 22 lies on the counter surface 23 to be sealed, for example on a floor or around the door in question frames running around, sealing under pressure.
  • the holding foot 6 is attached to this, which in a corresponding central opening protrudes on the facing side of the holding profile 2 and with two anchoring sections 24 projecting laterally at its projecting end, 25, which are only shown schematically in FIGS. 1 and 2, a suitable form-fitting Anchoring, possibly with elastic bending of the holding sections 24 and 25, in the Recording space of the holding profile 2 ensures.
  • FIG. 1 and 4 show cross sections through two further embodiments of such Sealing arrangement, in each case in a position corresponding to the illustration in FIG. 1.
  • the configuration of the arrangement from FIG. 3 differs from that according to FIGS. 1 and 2 in essentially in that there the free end regions 15, 16 clearly above the assigned End faces 14 and 14 ', that is, the profile legs 3, 4 protrude upwards.
  • the end position of the retracted Location of the overall arrangement a little more in the direction of the upper end surface 26 of the Guide rail 1 out, as shown in Fig. 3, is so that the free ends of the End sections 15, 16 against the upper inner surface 26 of the guide rail 1 under lighter Compressive bias come to the system.
  • This can result in such a fully retracted Seal arrangement can be ensured that there is no rattling noises at a Swiveling of the door wing (not shown) comes.
  • This is a very important point of view since such sealing arrangements for thresholdless doors in connection with the (not in all figures Actuating mechanism for the holding profile 2 tend to rattle.
  • each recess 27 runs, like the associated projections 13, each over the entire Length of the relevant side leg 8 or 9 away.
