Definitions

• the present invention relates to a floor bridge for a threshold for a sliding door and/or sliding window system, in particular a lift-and-slide door and/or lift-and-slide window system, which has a wing, in particular a sliding or lift-and-slide wing, and a sliding or lift-and-slide wing that is movable in a sliding direction (V) relative to the wing.
• the present invention relates to such a threshold for a sliding door and/or sliding window system, in particular a lift-and-slide door and/or lift-and-slide window system, and to a sliding door and/or sliding window system, in particular a lift-and-slide door and/or lift-and-slide window system.
• a sliding window and/or sliding door system typically comprises at least two window and/or door elements, which are also referred to below as sashes.
• Such sliding systems feature at least one movable sliding sash and at least one further sash, which may, for example, also be a sliding sash or a fixed, inactive or fixed sash.
• This means that the sliding sash has a sliding mechanism that enables translational relative displacement with respect to the further sash and with respect to the stationary frame.
• a lift-and-slide unit is provided on at least one of the sashes, allowing this sash to be lifted and then moved linearly.
• Such sashes typically have a sash profile frame with a carriage on the underside of the profile frame facing the floor or substructure. This carriage is mounted on a guide rail to lift the sash and move it translationally.
• a guide rail is understood to be a sill-side guide for the sliding sash carriage, which extends along the entire sill width.
• At least one pair of carriages or at least two separate carriages connected by a connecting rod can be used. After the sash has been moved, it can be lowered again, i.e., the carriage is retracted and further movement of the sash is prevented.
• the bottom-side, horizontally extending part of the frame, which includes the track, is also called the threshold.
• One disadvantage is the high vertical height of existing thresholds. These cannot meet the demand for ever-lower vertical heights, especially for so-called barrier-free sliding door and/or sliding window systems, especially lift-and-slide door and/or lift-and-slide window systems.
• the subfloors or floors on which the sleepers are installed can vary depending on the material surface, the rigidity of the material, and/or the height dimensions, which create different gaps or spaces between the sleeper and the floor.
• the goal is for the sleepers to be usable regardless of whether the floor or subfloor is natural stone, tiled, parquet, or even marble, which, for example, has a high movement tolerance.
• the height adjustment profile is constructed in several parts and has a connecting part for attachment to the threshold, a movable or movable bridging part and a securing part for securing the sealing part to the connecting part.
• installation has proven to be cumbersome.
• the height adjustment profiles are limited in their orientation relative to the threshold. Either a single predefined installation position can be adopted, or the height adjustment profile can be moved freely, which can lead to it moving out of the correct operating position.
• a floor bridge for a threshold is provided for a sliding door and/or sliding window system, in particular a lift-and-slide door and/or lift-and-slide window system, which has one sash, in particular a sliding or lift-and-slide sash, and one sliding or lift-and-slide sash that is movable in a sliding direction relative to the other sash.
• the floor bridge can also be used for a front door threshold, a threshold of a revolving door, or other door and/or window thresholds.
• Thresholds can be located at the transition between an interior floor of a building and an exterior floor outside the building and/or generally serve to cover butt joints, form a bottom stop for a door or window, or to protect or seal the interior of a house or apartment against noise, water, and/or drafts.
• Sliding door or sliding window systems can have a sliding sash and another sash, which can also be a sliding sash or a stationary sash and/or a frame-fixed inactive sash, with the sliding sash being movable in a sliding direction relative to the other sash. In a sliding system with two sliding sashes, both sliding sashes can each be moved relative to the other sliding sash.
• a lift-and-slide sash and another sash are usually provided, which can be a stationary sash or a lift-and-slide sash.
• the lift-and-slide sash is designed to be movable in a sliding direction relative to the other sash and is further designed to be lifted vertically so that it can then be displaced in the sliding direction.
• the sliding direction of the sliding sash or lift-and-slide sash essentially corresponds to the longitudinal direction of the sill.
• the sill can generally be referred to as the bottom-side, essentially horizontally extending part of a window or door frame.
• the sill can connect two spaced-apart vertical frame parts and/or be arranged between them.
• the floor bridge according to the invention can fundamentally be designed to seal the threshold from the floor or substructure and/or to bridge any gaps or a gap between the floor and the threshold, optionally with a height offset.
• the floor bridge comprises a connecting part with a joint head for attachment, in particular in a form-fitting and/or force-fitting manner, to a lateral end face of the threshold extending in the direction of displacement.
• the floor bridge comprises a bridging part with a bridging lip for bridging a gap between the substructure or floor and the threshold, and a joint socket which, in particular in a form-fitting manner, engages around the joint head to couple the bridging part and connecting part together, and is rotatable relative to the joint head when the bridging part is coupled together.
• a seal for example in the form of a sealing strip or a synthetic polymer, such as a surface-crosslinked plastic, preferably silicone, can be arranged, for example, in a concave groove, on an underside of the bridging part facing the floor. This enables particularly simple installation of the floor bridge to the threshold. In particular, assembly takes place in two stages.
• the connecting part is mounted on the threshold, in particular plugged, clipped or locked, and then the bridging part is mounted on the connecting part, in particular plugged, pushed or clipped on.
• the floor bridge Due to the relative rotation possibility of the joint socket to the joint head, the floor bridge can be used very flexibly and adapted to different conditions, i.e. in particular height differences between the threshold and the substructure or floor that need to be bridged or compensated.
• the advantageous assembly is supported by the joint socket being plugged on and gripped around the joint head. For example, when the bridging part and connecting part are coupled together, a rotation angle of up to 150°, in particular up to 125° or 100° is possible.
• the bridging lip and the joint socket can be made from a single piece, in particular from metal, such as aluminum.
• the connecting part can also be made from a single piece.
• the joint socket and the joint head are constructed in the manner of a hinge joint, whereby in particular the joint head can have a cylindrical or fully cylindrical shape, which is pincer-shaped in a rests in a groove-like joint socket, which corresponds to a segment of a hollow cylinder.
• the joint head which rests with respect to the joint head during the relative rotation of the joint socket, can provide a bearing surface, in particular a sliding bearing surface, of more than 190°, in particular more than 235° or more than 270°.
• the joint head and the joint socket are coordinated with one another in such a way that the joint socket slides along the joint head during a relative rotational movement.
• the joint socket and the joint head can be coordinated with one another in such a way that the joint socket is guided by the joint head in a relative rotational movement.
• the arrangement, in particular the coordination of the joint socket and the joint head ensures, on the one hand, the fastening of the bridging part and the connecting part to one another and, on the other hand, the relative movement, in particular relative rotation, of the connecting part and the bridging part. Due to the functional union thus created, the floor bridge is particularly simple in construction and easy to operate.
• a floor bridge is provided for a threshold for a sliding door and/or sliding window system, in particular a lift-and-slide door and/or lift-and-slide window system.
• the floor bridge can also be used for a front door threshold, a threshold of a revolving door, or other door and/or window thresholds.
• a floor bridge for a threshold for a sliding door and/or sliding window system in particular a lift-and-slide door and/or lift-and-slide window system, which has a wing, in particular a sliding or lift-and-slide wing, and a sliding or lift-and-slide wing which is movable in a sliding direction relative to the other wing, is provided.
• Thresholds can be located at the transition between an interior floor of a building and an exterior floor outside the building and/or generally serve to cover butt joints, a bottom stop for a door or to form a window in order to protect or seal the interior of a house or apartment against noise, water and/or drafts.
• Sliding door or sliding window systems can have a sliding sash and another sash, which can also be a sliding sash or a stationary and/or frame-fixed inactive sash, whereby the sliding sash is movable in a sliding direction relative to the other sash. In a sliding system with two sliding sashes, both sliding sashes can each be moved relative to the other sliding sash.
• a lift-and-slide sash and another sash are usually provided, which can be an inactive sash or a lift-and-slide sash.
• the lift-and-slide sash is designed to be movable in a sliding direction relative to the other sash and is further designed to be lifted vertically in order to then be able to be displaced in the sliding direction.
• the sliding direction of the sliding sash or lift-and-slide sash essentially corresponds to the longitudinal direction of the threshold.
• the threshold can generally be described as the bottom-facing, essentially horizontally extending part of a window or door frame.
• the threshold can connect two spaced-apart vertical frame parts and/or be located between them.
• the floor bridge comprises a connecting part with a joint head for attachment, in particular in a form-fitting and/or force-fitting manner, to a lateral end face of the sleeper extending in the direction of displacement. Furthermore, the floor bridge comprises a bridging part with a bridging lip for bridging a gap between the subsurface or floor and the sleeper, and a joint socket that can be brought into engagement with the joint head to couple the bridging part and the connecting part together.
• the joint socket can be brought into engagement with the joint head for coupling the bridging part and the connecting part. Furthermore, when the bridging part and the connecting part are coupled together, the joint socket can be rotated relative to the joint head between two end rotation stops.
• the connecting part is mounted on the threshold, in particular by plugging, clipping or locking, and then the bridging part is mounted on the connecting part, in particular by plugging, sliding or clipping on.
• the floor bridge Due to the ability of the joint socket to rotate relative to the joint head, the floor bridge can be used very flexibly and adapted to different conditions, in particular to height differences that need to be bridged or compensated between the threshold and the substructure or floor.

Firstly, they define the final assembly positions, thus preventing incorrect operation or assembly positions, for example, which would result in unwanted disassembly of the connecting part and the bridging part. Furthermore, the end-of-rotation stops help ensure that the bridging part remains in the respective position relative to the connecting part when assuming the final rotation positions.
• a rotation angle defined by the two end rotation stops is at least 60°, in particular at least 70°, 80°, or at least 90°, preferably up to 100°.
