Definitions

  • the invention relates to a locking device on one or at least three wings including sliding folding door or sliding folding window with a fixed frame.
  • the latter as well as the frames of the individual sashes are made up of frame bars.
  • frame bars For this you can use solid bars or profiled bars made of plastic or aluminum.
  • Plastic profiles are usually provided with a stiffening profile, which gives the relevant spar the necessary strength that it with the usual wall thicknesses without such a stiffening profile.
  • the stiffening profiles are made of steel or aluminum, for example.
  • the bars are welded together at the corners of the frame. Because of this step, the stiffening profiles cannot be led into the corner of the frame. The result of this is that the frames can essentially only take loads in the plane of the pane.
  • the object of the invention is to provide a locking device of the type described above, with which the frames of a sliding folding door or a sliding folding window, in particular in the case of plastic or aluminum production, are better protected against twisting when opened when the first leaf is open .
  • the invention proposes that the locking device is designed according to the preamble of claim 1 in accordance with the characterizing part of this claim.
  • the wing of the folding door or the folding window which is pivotably articulated on the second wing and is normally the first to be opened, and which can be rotated about 180 ° relative to the second wing, approximately at the end of its 180 ° opening movement set second wing.
  • this first latching device is controlled approximately according to a 180 ° opening rotation angle in the latching sense or snaps directly into place by this movement. The disengagement can be achieved by manual operation or directly by the start of the closing and turning movement of the first leaf.
  • the second wing is locked against the fixed frame via the second latching device.
  • This locking can be released by the opening movement of the first wing, at the end of the 180 ° opening movement.
  • This means that the rotary opening end movement of the first wing can be exploited in two ways, namely to lock the first and second wings on the one hand and to unlock the two wing of the fixed frame on the other hand. If, in this way, the first and second sashes form a package that is free relative to the fixed frame, one can also open this together with the package from the first and second sashes after unlocking the third wing.
  • the connecting pivot bearings between adjacent wings are alternately attached to the inside and outside of the frame, whereby the door can be folded and moved as a package to the wall-side vertical spar of the fixed frame.
  • the latching can also be brought about separately by hand and / or coupled with an unlatching of the first latching device.
  • a further development of the invention provides that the second latching device can be actuated in the disengaging direction by the first wing, the opening-end movement of the 180 ° opening rotary movement being at the same time a disengaging actuating movement of the second latching device. So as long as the first wing is closed or only opened and folded back so far that it is at an acute angle to the second wing, the latter is fixed relative to the fixed frame. However, if the first leaf is opened by approximately 180 ° and is thus approximately parallel to the second leaf, this leads to an actuation of the second latching device in a disengaging sense. This means that the second wing can only be opened when the first wing is directly in front of it.
  • the resulting torsional forces have been reduced to a minimum because the effective lever arm for the weight of the first wing has now reached its lowest value.
  • the first wing often referred to as the free wing, must maintain this parallel position to the second wing. This is achieved with the help of the first locking device.
  • the locking of the second latching device must or must be effected under forced control when the second leaf is (again) in its closed position and the first leaf in Closing direction is rotated.
  • the second latching device has an actuator which projects into the movement path of the first wing and is coupled to the second latching member. In the opening-final movement of the first leaf, this acts on the actuator and unlocks the second locking device. Conversely, the first leaf releases the actuator again at the start of its closing rotary movement. As a result, the second latching device can go back into the latching position or be brought into it.
  • the first locking member is designed in the manner of a cutter. Snappers automatically move into the locked position when their spring-loaded locking element is in front of the locking fixture. The engagement and disengagement can take place solely by using the rotary movement of the first wing relative to the second.
  • the first latching device can consist of several snappers or the like.
  • first locking member is slidably mounted in a control housing of the second wing and the first locking receptacle is located on the first wing.
  • the first latching member does not necessarily have to be a trapper even in the case of training Be ball, rather a slidably mounted, spring-loaded locking member can be used.
  • appropriate slants should be used to engage and disengage with reasonable effort.
  • this first latching device should also hold the two wings together well.
  • the engagement and disengagement movement of the first locking member expediently runs approximately horizontally or vertically and parallel to the wing plane.
  • a particularly preferred embodiment of the invention is characterized by a third latching device consisting of a third latching member and a third latching receptacle for connecting the first wing opened by approximately 180 ° to the second wing.
  • This can be an additional latching device that supports the first latching device.
  • two latching devices for fixing the first wing opened by 180 ° relative to the second wing both need not necessarily go into the latching position at the same time. In the exemplary embodiment, this is also not provided.
  • the first latching device can be used to hold the first and second sashes together and only bring about the additional latching at a later point in time and with a corresponding predetermined requirement.
  • the third locking device is controllable by an initial opening movement of the second leaf in the locking direction and the unlocked position of the third locking device is assigned to the closed second leaf.
  • the above-mentioned requirement for the third latching device to snap in here is therefore a relatively slight opening movement of the second leaf.
  • the first when the second wing is opened, the first must be securely fixed to it, and this secures the third latching device better than a claw-like first latching device.
  • the action of the third latching device when the second wing is locked, even with a cutter or the like, is not absolutely necessary.
  • the third latching device has an actuator coupled to the third latching member, which protrudes beyond the second wing against the fixed frame and assumes its disengaged switch position when the second wing is closed. If you close the second wing, this results in the third latching element hitting the fixed frame, and when the actuator is pressed in, the third latching member changes from its latched to a latched switchover position in which it releases the first wing .
  • a further embodiment of the invention is that the actuator for the second latching member and / or the actuator for the third latching member is a spring-loaded pusher, each loading spring loading the associated latching member, at least when the pusher is pressed in, in the latching direction.
  • the second and / or third latching element is adjusted in the latching direction after the lever has been lifted from its abutting surface via the loading spring.
  • a further preferred embodiment of the invention is characterized in that the disengaging movement of the second latching member and its associated pusher and / or the third latching member and its associated pusher are approximately perpendicular to each other and each latching member is connected to its pusher via a coupling device.
  • the associated adjustment movement of the latching element takes place via the latter when the pusher is adjusted.
  • a parallel disengaging movement of the second and third latching members is also conceivable, in particular in the vertical direction, the disengaging movements expediently running in opposite directions.
  • the or each coupling device advantageously consists of an oblique slot and a bolt or the like which engages therein, in particular the oblique slot on the second or third latching element and the bolt or the like in each case being located on the associated pusher.
  • a shifting movement is converted into a transverse, preferably perpendicular, displacement movement.
  • other known devices for this reversal of movement for example control via tabs, is also possible.
  • the second and the third latching device have a common control housing or the like connected to the second wing.
  • the second locking receptacle is expediently arranged on the upper cross member of the fixed frame and the control housing or the like on the upper cross member of the second wing, in particular in the region of the upper corner assigned to the third wing.
  • the second latching receptacle is formed by an upper guide rail or running rail of the fixed frame.
  • a correspondingly projecting, downward-pointing profile web of the upper crossbar of the fixed frame can be used for locking purposes.
  • the wings folded into a package can be slidably guided over a lower carriage on a running rail and a guide roller in the guide rail on the frame.
  • the arrangement can, however, also be reversed, that is to say the supporting roller can be attached at the top and the guide roller at the bottom.
  • the third latching element is advantageously displaceable approximately in the horizontal or vertical direction and thus makes the same displacement movement as the first latching element.
  • This enables a further embodiment of the invention, which consists in the fact that the first and third snap-in receptacles are formed by a common component or are attached to it.
  • a particularly preferred variant of the invention results from claim 21. It enables the entire locking device to be used for right and left stop.
  • a common fixed frame of a sliding folding element 2 consisting of a first wing 3, a second wing 4 and a third wing 5 is denoted by 1.
  • This sliding-folding element is articulated with the aid of, for example, three rotating bands 6 arranged one above the other on the fixed frame 1 or on its vertical side 7.
  • the first wing 3 is pivotally connected to the second wing 4 via at least two, but preferably also three rotary bearings 8, while the second wing 4 and the third wing 5 are rotatably connected via further rotary bearings 9.
  • the immediately successive hinge groups are mounted alternately on the outside and on the inside of the sliding folding element 2. In this way it is pushed aside folded package to the hinge-side vertical spar possible, as shown in Fig. 3 of the drawing. Any other known arrangement of the individual wings and also a different number of wings are possible.
  • the sliding element for example a sliding folding door, is slidably mounted on a lower running rail 11 in the sense of the double arrow 12 via a lower carriage 10.
  • a guide roller 13 or the like is provided at the upper end of the sliding folding element 2, which is guided in a guide rail 14.
  • the arrangement can also be reversed, i.e. the weight can also be taken up.
  • a closure, not shown, of this wing can be actuated, with the aid of which it is locked against the fixed frame 1.
  • Another operating handle 16 located on the third frame 5 is used to actuate a closure (not shown in more detail), via which the wings 4 and 5 can be pressed individually against the fixed frame, for example locking bars which move up and down lock into the fixed frame 1.
  • the locking device comprises at least two, but preferably three latching devices 17, 18 and 19 in the exemplary embodiment.
  • the first latching device 17 consists of a first latching member 20 and a first latching seat 21.
  • the second latching device 18 comprises a second latching member 22 and a second latching seat 23.
  • the third latching device 19 consists of the third latching member 24 and the third latching seat 25.
  • the first latching seat 21 and the third latching seat 25 are designed as a common latching seat and consequently attached to a common component 26. This is attached to the first wing 3 such that it points towards the latter when the first and second wings are folded.
  • control housing 27 which, when the first and second wings are folded together, protrudes against the first wing and comes to lie directly next to the common component 26. From Fig. 1 it can be seen that the control housing 27 is preferably attached to the upper corner of the second wing 4 associated with the third wing 5. As a result, the common component 26 lies close to the upper wing corner of the first wing 3 on the closing side.
  • the first latching device 17 is designed in the manner of a cutter. Your spring-loaded locking member 20 can be moved in the horizontal direction parallel to the wing plane and provided with a corresponding entry and exit slope. When the first wing 3 has been opened by approximately 180 °, the outer bevel of a nose 28, which delimits the latching receptacles 21 and 25 at this point, hits the first latching member 20. It occurs against the resistance of a load spring into the interior of the control housing 27 and with the wings 3 and 4 in parallel position in the first catch recording 21 a.
  • the third latching device 19 is in a disengaged or ineffective position when the second wing 4 is closed. From Fig. 6 it can be seen that the third locking member 24 is completely retracted into the interior of the control housing 27.
  • the third latching element 24 can be moved outwards via a pusher 29 in the direction of the arrow 30 if the pusher 29 is moved in the direction of the arrow 31. The latter is the case according to FIG. 5 when the second wing 4 is opened.
  • This displacement movement is transmitted via a coupling device 35 (FIG. 7) in the sense that the third locking member 24 carries out a displacement movement in the direction of arrow 30 and thereby engages behind the locking receptacle 25 of the component 26, whereby the wings 3 and 4 are coupled together.
  • the coupling device consists of an inclined slot 36, which extends in particular at 45 ° to the wing plane, and a bolt 37 which is displaceably guided therein.
  • the inclined slot is located on the third latching element 24 and, consequently, the bolt 37 is held on the pusher 29.
  • the second locking device 18 is also equipped with a pusher, which is designated 38. It can be inserted in the direction of arrow 40 against the resistance of a load spring 39. Its displacement movement is transmitted to the second locking member 22 via a coupling device 41.
  • the coupling device 41 consists of an oblique slot 42, which is preferably located on the second latching member 22 and a bolt 43 of the pusher 38 which can be displaced therein.
  • Both the loading spring 33 of the third latching device 19 and the loading spring 39 of the second latching device 18 each endeavor to do so Shift locking member 24 or 22 in the locking position. From Fig. 4 it can be seen that the second locking member 22 is in its locking position when the handle 38 is not loaded.
  • the latter is pressed through the first wing 3 when it is approximately in a 180 ° open position (FIG. 7). This is because the surface 44 of the first wing 3 strikes the pusher 38. This means that the second wing 4 can only be opened when the first wing 3 has approximately a parallel position to the second wing 4, wherein it is fixed with the aid of the first locking device 17 with respect to the second wing 4.
  • Both the fixed frame 1 and the wings 2, 4 and 5 in the exemplary embodiment consist of profile bars, preferably plastic profile bars, the cross-sectional shapes of which are designed according to the drawing.
  • a stiffening profile 45 for example in the form of a rectangular tube, is inserted into a chamber of the profile bars of the fixed frame 1.
  • a reinforcing profile 46 is inserted into a corresponding chamber of the profile bars of the wings 3, 4 and 5.
  • the stiffening profiles especially in the case of plastic profiles, do not extend into the wing corners because they would hinder the connection there, for example by ultrasonic welding.
