Description

Die Erfindung betrifft eine Dichtung, insbesondere eine selbsttätig absenkbare Bodendichtung für Türen, wobei die Dichtung ein Dichtungsgehäuse, ein Dichtmittel, das vorzugsweise in dem Dichtungsgehäuse angebracht ist und Befestigungsmittel zur Befestigung des Dichtungsgehäuses in einer Nut einer Tür, eines Fensters oder dergleichen aufweist. Die Erfindung betrifft ferner ein Türblatt mit einer solchen Dichtung, ein Verfahren zum Herstellen solcher Dichtungen, ein Verfahren zum Herstellen eines Türblatts mit einer solchen Dichtung sowie eine Vorrichtung zum Montieren von Dichtungen in Türblättern.The invention relates to a seal, in particular an automatically lowerable floor seal for doors, the seal having a seal housing, a sealant which is preferably fitted in the seal housing and fastening means for fastening the seal housing in a groove of a door, a window or the like. The invention also relates to a door leaf with such a seal, a method for producing such seals, a method for manufacturing a door leaf with such a seal and a device for installing seals in door leaves.

Dichtungen der eingangs genannten Art sind beispielsweise aus der Druckschrift mit der Veröffentlichungsnummer DE 203 00 265 U1 bekannt. Als Befestigungsmittel weist die in dieser Druckschrift offenbarte Dichtung ein Winkelstück und Befestigungsschrauben auf. Die Winkelstücke werden seitlich mit einem Schenkel in das Dichtungsgehäuse der Dichtung eingesteckt. Der andere Schenkel ragt aus dem Gehäuse heraus und weist ein Loch für die Befestigungsschraube auf, die an der Bandseite und/oder der Schlossseite zur Befestigung der Dichtung in das Türblatt eingeschraubt werden kann.Seals of the type mentioned are, for example, from the publication with the publication number DE 203 00 265 U1 known. The seal disclosed in this publication has an angle piece and fastening screws as fastening means. The angle pieces are inserted laterally with one leg into the seal housing of the seal. The other leg protrudes from the housing and has a hole for the fastening screw, which can be screwed into the door leaf on the hinge side and/or the lock side for fastening the seal.

Dichtungen der vorgenannten Art sind für eine manuelle Montage an den Türblättern vorgesehen. Die Montage erfolgt dabei entweder in einem Türenherstellungsbetrieb (Türenwerk) oder aber an dem Ort oftmals eine Baustelle, an dem die Tür in einem Gebäude montiert wird. Die Befestigung der Dichtung mit einem Winkelstück und Befestigungsschrauben als Befestigungsmitteln hat sich in der Vergangenheit als einfach und kostengünstig erwiesen.Seals of the aforementioned type are intended for manual assembly on the door leaves. The assembly takes place either in a door manufacturing plant (door factory) or at the location, often a construction site, where the door is assembled in a building. Fastening the seal with an elbow and fastening screws as fastening means has proven to be simple and inexpensive in the past.

In jüngerer Zeit kam es zu einer zunehmenden Konzentration auf wenigen Hersteller von Türen, einhergehend mit der Konzentration auf wenige Türenwerke. In den Türenwerken heute dadurch werden erheblich höhere Stückzahlen von Türen hergestellt, als dies noch in der Vergangenheit der Fall war.Recently, there has been an increasing concentration on a small number of door manufacturers, along with a concentration on a small number of door factories. As a result, significantly higher numbers of doors are produced in the door factories today than was the case in the past.

Die manuelle Montage der Türdichtungen in diesen größeren Türenwerken erweist sich zunehmend als Wettbewerbsnachteil, da die manuelle Montage der Türdichtungen personalintensiv und daher kostenträchtig ist. Es besteht daher das Bedürfnis, die Montage der Türdichtungen in den Türblättern zu automatisieren und zumindest teilweise maschinell vorteilhaft jedoch vollständig maschinell erledigen zu lassen.The manual assembly of the door seals in these larger door factories is increasingly proving to be a competitive disadvantage, since the manual assembly of the door seals is labour-intensive and therefore expensive. There is therefore a need to automate the assembly of the door seals in the door leaves and to have it done at least partially by machine, but advantageously completely by machine.

Einen anderen Ansatz wird mit der in dem Dokument EP 1 138 865 A2 offenbarten Technik verfolgt. Bei der in dem Dokument EP 1 138 865 A2 offenbarten Technik werden Befestigungsmittel vor der Montage der Dichtung in der Nut zumindest teilweise unverlierbar an dem Dichtungsgehäuse angeordnet.A different approach is used in the document EP 1 138 865 A2 disclosed technique pursued. At the in the document EP 1 138 865 A2 In the disclosed technique, fastening means are arranged at least partially captively on the seal housing before the seal is installed in the groove.

Die Dichtung aus dem Dokument EP 1 138 865 A2 weist Elemente zum An- und/oder Eindrücken auf, mit denen die Dichtung in einer Nut einer Tür befestigt werden kann. Die Elemente zum Ein- und/oder Andrücken können durch Spreizelemente auseinander gedrückt werden. Die Betätigung des Spreizelementes erfolgt über eine Schraube, die zum Verschieben des Spreizelementes gedreht werden muss. Diese hat eine Innensechskant-Schlüsselfläche.The seal from the document EP 1 138 865 A2 has elements for pressing on and/or pressing in, with which the seal can be fixed in a groove of a door. The elements for pressing in and/or pressing can be pushed apart by spreading elements. The expansion element is actuated by a screw that must be turned to move the expansion element. This has an Allen key surface.

Die Schlüsselfläche ist tief im Inneren der Dichtung angeordnet. Die Schlüsselfläche ist von außen nicht ohne weiteres zugänglich. So muss zum Ansetzen eines Inbusschlüssels zunächst der Auslöser aus der Dichtung entfernt werden, was unpraktisch ist. Eine maschinelle Montage einer derartigen Dichtung durch einen Türenhersteller ist nur mit sehr hohem Aufwand möglich. Für eine maschinelle Montage muss der Auslöser entweder erst aus der Dichtung entfernt werden, um nach der Befestigung der Dichtung wieder in die Dichtung eingesetzt zu werden, oder aber der Auslöser wird separat zur übrigen Dichtung geliefert und erstmals nach der Dichtungsmontage in der Tür an der Dichtung. In beiden Fällen erfolgt der endgültige Zusammenbau durch den Türenhersteller.The wrench flat is located deep inside the seal. The wrench flat is not readily accessible from the outside. For example, to apply an Allen key, the trigger must first be removed from the seal, which is inconvenient. Mechanical assembly of such a seal by a door manufacturer is only possible with a great deal of effort. For machine assembly, the trigger must either be removed from the seal to be reinserted into the seal after the seal is secured, or the trigger is shipped separate from the rest of the seal and attached to the seal for the first time after the seal is installed in the door . In both cases, the final assembly is carried out by the door manufacturer.

Eine zumindest teilweise maschinelle Montage der bekannten Türdichtungen ist zwar grundsätzlich möglich, hat jedoch einige Nachteile, die aus der Konzeption der Türdichtungen für eine manuelle Montage herrühren. Einer der Nachteile ist, dass die Befestigungsmittel losgelöst von der übrigen Dichtung vom Hersteller der Türdichtungen geliefert werden. Diese losgelöste Anlieferung der Befestigungsmittel macht es erforderlich, dass die Befestigungsmittel ebenso wie die übrige Dichtung, insbesondere das Dichtungsgehäuse mit dem darin angeordneten Dichtmittel, einer Vorrichtung zum Montieren der Türdichtungen zugeführt werden müssen. Dieses ist zwar grundsätzlich möglich und auch kostengünstiger als eine manuelle Montage, insbesondere bei hohen zu montierenden Stückzahlen. Diese nahe liegende Lösung stellt jedoch nicht das Optimum dar.An at least partially mechanical assembly of the known door seals is possible in principle, but has some disadvantages, deriving from the design of the door seals for manual assembly. One of the disadvantages is that the fasteners are supplied separately from the rest of the seal by the door seal manufacturer. This detached delivery of the fastening means makes it necessary for the fastening means, like the rest of the seal, in particular the seal housing with the sealant arranged therein, to be fed to a device for assembling the door seals. This is in principle possible and also more cost-effective than manual assembly, particularly in the case of large quantities to be assembled. However, this obvious solution is not optimal.

Die Erfindung betrifft insbesondere eine Dichtung mit den Merkmalen des Oberbegriffs des Anspruchs 1, wie sie in der Fig. 10 des Dokumentes DE 20 2004 007 565 U1 offenbart ist.More particularly, the invention relates to a seal having the features of the preamble of claim 1 as shown in Figure 10 of document DE 20 2004 007 565 U1 is revealed.

Die Dichtung weist einen ersten Abschnitt auf, der als Federelement ausgebildet ist. Dieses Federelement weist einen Mittelsteg auf. Beiderseits dieses Mittelstegs sind Federzungen angeordnet, die in dem Gehäuse der Dichtung klemmend zur Anlage gebracht werden können. Diese Federzungen sind bei dem gezeigten in der Fig. 10 des Dokumentes DE 20 2004 007 565 U1 derart gewellt ausgebildet, dass ihre Oberflächen in Längsrichtung abwechselnd oberhalb und unterhalb des Mittelsteges verlaufen. Dadurch kann das Federelement wie eine Haarnadel in einen Kanal des Gehäuses klemmend, also im Presssitz, befestigt werden.The seal has a first section which is designed as a spring element. This spring element has a central bar. Spring tongues are arranged on both sides of this central web, which can be brought to rest in a clamping manner in the housing of the seal. These spring tongues are in the one shown in Figure 10 of the document DE 20 2004 007 565 U1 corrugated in such a way that their surfaces extend in the longitudinal direction alternately above and below the central web. As a result, the spring element can be clamped in a channel of the housing like a hairpin, that is to say with a press fit.

Die Herstellung eines Befestigungselementes mit solchen Federzungen ist kein einfacher Vorgang. Diese Befestigungselemente haben sich daher in der Praxis nicht durchgesetzt.Manufacturing a fastener with such spring tongues is not a simple process. Therefore, these fastening elements have not become established in practice.

Hier setzen die vorliegenden Erfindungen an.This is where the present inventions come in.

Der vorliegenden Erfindung lag die Aufgabe zugrunde, eine Dichtung mit den im Oberbegriff des Anspruchs 1 genannten Merkmalen so weiterzubilden, dass insbesondere die Befestigungselemente einfacher hergestellt werden können.The present invention was based on the object of providing a seal with the features mentioned in the preamble of claim 1 further develop that in particular the fasteners can be made easier.

Diese Aufgabe wird durch die im Anspruch 1 angegebene Dichtung gelöst. Eine erfindungsgemäße Dichtung ist so ausgebildet,

  • dass ein Befestigungsmittel durch eine Pressverbindung mit dem Dichtungsgehäuse verbunden ist,
  • dass das Befestigungsmittel einen ersten Abschnitt und einen zweiten Abschnitt umfasst, wobei der erste Abschnitt mit dem Dichtungsgehäuse unverlierbar verbunden ist und der zweite Abschnitt für eine Verbindung mit einer Tür, einem Fenster oder dergleichen geeignet und eingerichtet ist und
  • dass der zweite Abschnitt gegenüber dem ersten Abschnitt abgewinkelt ist und
  • dass der erste Abschnitt des Befestigungsmittels seitliche
This object is achieved by the seal specified in claim 1. A seal according to the invention is designed in such a way
  • that a fastening means is connected to the seal housing by a press connection,
  • that the fastening means comprises a first section and a second section, the first section being captively connected to the seal housing and the second section being suitable and arranged for connection to a door, a window or the like, and
  • that the second section is angled relative to the first section and
  • that the first portion of the fastener lateral

Ausbuchtungen aufweist, die so ausgestaltet sind, dass der erste Abschnitt des Befestigungsmittels zwischen den Schenkeln des Dichtungsgehäuses im Presssitz gegen diese Schenkel eingesetzt ist und das Befestigungsmittel so in dem Dichtungsgehäuse in Längsrichtung des ersten Abschnitts fixiert ist.Has bulges, which are designed so that the first portion of the fastener is inserted between the legs of the seal housing in a press fit against these legs and the fastener is so fixed in the seal housing in the longitudinal direction of the first portion.

Das Befestigungsmittel hat im zweiten Abschnitt ein Loch für eine Befestigungsschraube, mit welcher dieses zumindest eine Befestigungsmittel mit einem zweiten Abschnitt an der Tür mittels einer Schraubverbindung befestigt wird.In the second section, the fastening means has a hole for a fastening screw, with which this at least one fastening means is fastened to a second section on the door by means of a screw connection.

Durch eine derartige unverlierbare Anordnung zumindest eines Teils der Befestigungsmittel an dem Dichtungsgehäuse ist ein separates Zuführen dieser Teile der Befestigungsmittel während der Montage der Dichtung in der Nut eines Türblatts nicht mehr notwendig.With such a captive arrangement of at least part of the fastening means on the seal housing, it is no longer necessary to feed these parts of the fastening means separately during assembly of the seal in the groove of a door leaf.

Der erste Abschnitt und der zweite Abschnitt können Schenkel eines Winkelstücks bilden.The first section and the second section can form legs of an elbow.

Bei zumindest einem der Befestigungsmittel kann der erste Abschnitt zum Abknicken gegenüber dem zweiten Abschnitt geeignet und eingerichtet sein. So kann zur Montage der Dichtung in der Tür der zweite Abschnitt relativ zum ersten Abschnitt abgeknickt werden, um an die Tür positioniert zu werden.In the case of at least one of the fastening means, the first section can be suitable and set up to bend relative to the second section. Thus, to mount the seal in the door, the second section can be bent relative to the first section in order to be positioned on the door.

Die in den Figuren dargestellte Dichtung weist ein Dichtungsgehäuse 2 auf, welches in eine Nut im unteren Ende eines Türblatts 1 eingesetzt sind oder einsetzbar sind. In dem Dichtungsgehäuse 2 ist üblicherweise eine in den Figuren nicht dargestellte Mechanik und ein ebenfalls in den Figuren nicht dargestelltes Dichtmittel untergebracht. Die Mechanik ist für ein selbsttätiges Absenken des Dichtmittels vorgesehen.The seal shown in the figures has a seal housing 2 which is inserted or can be inserted into a groove in the lower end of a door leaf 1 . In the seal housing 2, a mechanism not shown in the figures and a sealant, also not shown in the figures, are usually accommodated. The mechanism is designed for automatic lowering of the sealant.

Das Dichtungsgehäuse 2 der Dichtungen ist im Wesentlichen U-förmig ausgestaltet und weist zwei Schenkel 21 auf, die über einen Steg 22 miteinander verbunden sind.The seal housing 2 of the seals is essentially U-shaped and has two legs 21 which are connected to one another via a web 22 .

Die Dichtungen und insbesondere das Dichtungsgehäuse 2 werden über Befestigungsmittel an dem Türblatt 1 befestigt.The seals and in particular the seal housing 2 are fastened to the door leaf 1 by fastening means.

Die Dichtung gemäß Fig. 1 weist ein Befestigungsmittel 4 mit einem Winkelstück und einer Befestigungsschraube 46 auf. Das Winkelstück umfasst dabei einen ersten Schenkel, der einen ersten Abschnitt 41 des Befestigungsmittels 4 bildet und einen zweiten Schenkel, welcher einen zweiten Abschnitt 42 des Befestigungsmittels 4 bildet. In dem zweiten Abschnitt 42 ist wiederum ein Loch 45 vorgesehen, durch welches die Befestigungsschraube 46 geführt ist.The seal according to 1 has a fastening means 4 with an angle piece and a fastening screw 46 . In this case, the angle piece comprises a first leg, which forms a first section 41 of the fastening means 4 and a second leg, which forms a second section 42 of the fastening means 4 . In the second section 42 there is again a hole 45 through which the fastening screw 46 is passed.

Der zweite Abschnitt 42 ist im Zustand vor der Montage der Dichtung an dem Türblatt 1, wie in Fig. 2 dargestellt, in einem stumpfen Winkel zum ersten Abschnitt 41 ausgestellt. Zur Montage der Dichtung wird der zweite Abschnitt 42 in Richtung zum ersten Abschnitt 41 gebogen und an dem Türblatt positioniert, so dass der Winkel ungefähr 90° beträgt und der zweite Abschnitt an der Außenseite des Türblatts anliegt.The second portion 42 is in the state before mounting the seal on the door leaf 1, as shown in Fig. 2, at an obtuse angle to first section 41 issued. To assemble the seal, the second section 42 is bent towards the first section 41 and positioned on the door leaf so that the angle is approximately 90° and the second section lies against the outside of the door leaf.

Der erste Abschnitt des Befestigungsmittels 4 weist seitliche Ausbuchtungen 43 auf, die so ausgestaltet sind, dass der erste Abschnitt 41 des Befestigungsmittels zwischen den Schenkeln 21 des Dichtungsgehäuses 2 im Presssitz gegen diese Schenkel 21 eingesetzt ist. Das Befestigungsmittel 4 ist so in dem Dichtungsgehäuse 2 in Längsrichtung des ersten Abschnitts 41 fixiert. Nach oben und unten - bezogen auf die Einbaulage der Dichtung in einer Tür - dazu erfolgt die Fixierung des ersten Abschnitts 41 des Befestigungsmittels 4 zwischen dem Steg 22 und einem davon beabstandeten Bund 22b auf der Innenseite des Schenkels 21 beziehungsweise 22 des Dichtungsgehäuses 2.The first section of the fastening means 4 has lateral bulges 43 which are designed in such a way that the first section 41 of the fastening means is inserted between the legs 21 of the seal housing 2 with a press fit against these legs 21 . The fastening means 4 is thus fixed in the seal housing 2 in the longitudinal direction of the first section 41 . For this purpose, the first section 41 of the fastening means 4 is fixed upwards and downwards - in relation to the installation position of the seal in a door - between the web 22 and a collar 22b spaced therefrom on the inside of the leg 21 or 22 of the seal housing 2.

Das Biegen des zweiten Abschnitts 42 in Richtung zum ersten Abschnitt 41 kann vorzugsweise maschinell erfolgen.The bending of the second section 42 towards the first section 41 can preferably be done by machine.
