Description

The present invention relates a drive for a sliding or folding sliding door, consisting of a door side fixable drive housing and a drive carrier attached thereto, which is free at its protruding from the drive housing End equipped with drive parts in the form of rollers and / or glides is.

Drives of the aforesaid kind are in many embodiments known and serve sliding or folding sliding doors on one furniture carcass-side guide rail hang and along this guide rail slidably lead.

The known drives are relative complicated and composed of many parts and constructed require a high assembly cost so far. In the known Drives is the drive cage in the form of a one-sided truncated circular disc trained and can in a corresponding depression of a door panel be used.

Are sliding or folding sliding doors used, which have a hollow profile existing, surrounding frame, have to at least in the assembly area of the known drives hollow sections relatively large Dimensions used to hold the drive cage of known drives to be able to.

The present invention is the task is based, a drive of the generic type to create, which is characterized both by a simple structure also by a slight mounting option characterized and which is particularly suitable, even in comparative narrow hollow profiles of a door frame to be used and that about it also with sliding door elements made of wood, glass or plastic is usable.

This object is achieved according to the invention solved, that the drive enclosure from an elongated, approximately cuboid base body with one of these basic bodies partly towering Support flange is made and that at two opposite End faces of the main body springy Latching tabs are provided with molded locking cams, so that the drive cage in a door-side slot-like recess einschnäppbar is.

An inventive drive is characterized by its deviating from the circular shape, elongated body, which allows the fixing of the drive also in frame profiles, which are comparatively narrow dimensioned. Furthermore the determination of the drive according to the invention is extremely simple, because for the purpose of mounting the drive it only required is the drive cage with its two locking tabs in a slot-like recess a sliding door or a recess of a mounting plate or a frame hollow profile einzuschnäppen.

If necessary, the drive can also be removed again from the sliding or Faltschiebetür because this only the two locking tabs must be compressed until the detent opposite the mounting plate or the frame hollow profile is canceled.

A determination of the drive through additional Screwing or other fasteners is not required.

Thus, the drive can be tool-free mounted on a sliding or folding sliding door or optionally also be dismantled.

Further features of the invention are Subject of dependent claims.

An embodiment of the invention is in the attached Drawings shown and will be described in more detail below.

15 : a section through an arranged in the guide rail end stop after the Line XV-XV in 14 In 1 is - as in other figures - with the reference numeral 1 in total one drive for one in 2 suggestively shown sliding or folding sliding door 2 designated.

The drive 1 can, for example, directly on the sliding or Faltschiebetür 2 or, alternatively, on a frame hollow profile 3 , as in 3 represented, mounted. How the particular 7a to 7c clearly show the drive 1 consists essentially of three modules. 7a shows a drive cage 4 which defines the entire drive 1 on a sliding or folding sliding door 2 or a frame hollow profile 3 is determined. With this drive housing 4 connected is a drive carrier 5 as he is in 7b is shown.

The connection, which is also a height adjustment of the drive carrier 5 opposite the drive housing 4 enabled, via a knurled nut 6 as they are in 7c is shown.

The running carrier 5 is with drive parts, in the illustrated embodiment with rollers 7 , fitted. Alternatively, the drive carrier 5 but also with glides or with a combination of glides and rollers 7 be equipped.

The drive carrier 5 has an approximately T-shaped configuration, wherein the central web 5a with thread 5b equipped and on two diametrically opposite sides with flats 5c Is provided. This results in a non-circular cross-sectional shape, this cross-sectional shape is identical to the cross-sectional shape of a receiving opening 4a inside the drive cage 4 , In this receiving opening 4a can the middle jetty 5a of the drive carrier 5 be used against rotation.

Approximately in the middle area of the drive housing 4 is one opposite the receiving opening 4a significantly enlarged receiving slot 4b provided, in which the mentioned knurled nut 6 is inserted. This knurled nut 6 encloses the thread 5b of the central pier 5a and thus on the one hand enables the definition of the complete drive carrier 5 opposite the drive cage 4 as well as on the other hand, a height adjustment of the drive carrier 5 opposite the drive housing 4 ,

The mentioned, essential components of the drive 1 can thus be connected to each other without the aid of additional tools.

This results in a simple and easy to carry out assembly of the entire drive 1 ,

The drive cage 4 is just like the runway carrier 5 made of plastic.

The knurled nut 6 can also be made of plastic, but is preferred here for stability reasons a knurled nut 6 made of metal.

At one with a flattening 5c provided side of the central bridge 5a is in the middle to lower part of this middle bridge 5a a beveled latch 5d formed. In the upper end of the thread 5b is on the opposite, also with a flattening 5c provided side an end stop 5e appropriate.

This is especially evident 10 ,

In the upper end of the receiving opening 4a of the drive cage 4 are opposite each other also beveled noses 4c intended. One of those noses 4c corresponds with the latch 5d of the central pier 5a , This means that when inserting the center bar 5a in the import opening 4a the on the central pier 5a provided latch 5d one of the two noses 4c of the drive cage 4 overcomes due to the given elasticity. Subsequent removal of the drive carrier 5 from the import opening 4a of the drive cage 4 is no longer possible because in this direction the catch 5d and one of the noses 4c act as a blocking agent.

The mentioned stop 5e in the upper area of the central pier 5a On the other hand, it prevents the drive carrier from being pulled in at any depth 5 in the drive housing 4 , Between the two limits of the catch 5d and the stop 5e is the drive carrier 5 opposite the drive housing 4 height-adjustable.

This height adjustment is done by operating the knurled nut 6 ,

How special 9 clearly shows, is the upper crosspiece 5f of the drive carrier 5 in its two end-side end portions on the one hand with resilient in the direction of wave-shaped end portions 5g and with overlying, perpendicular to the direction of resilient tongues 5h fitted. Their importance will be discussed in more detail below.

The drive cage 4 essentially comprises an approximately cuboid base body 4d and a basic body 4d partly superior support flange 4e ,

The main body 4d is at its two opposite ends with resilient locking tabs 4f with molded locking cams 4g fitted.

In particular 6 makes clear, serve the resilient locking tabs 4f with the molded locking cam 4 g to drive housing 4 for example, on a mounting plate 8th with a slot-like recess 8a or within a slot-like recess 3a of in 3 shown frame hollow sections 3 or in a slot-like recess directly attached to the glass sliding door element 3a . 8a to set by snapping.

Due to the resilience of the tabs 4f can also be disassembled by the fact that the two resilient tabs 4f as far as being compressed, that the grasping behind the Monta geplatte 8th or a wall of a frame hollow profile 3 is canceled. In this compressed position of the resilient tabs 4f can then drive the case 4 from the corresponding support parts (mounting plate 8th or frame hollow profile 3 ) are taken out.

Unless the drive 1 directly on a sliding or folding sliding door 2 is attached, as in 2 and 5 exemplified, is within this door 2 a cutout 2a to provide, in which the basic body 4d of the drive cage 4 can protrude. Such mounting option arises both in wood as well as plastic doors, also a corresponding mounting option in glass doors is conceivable, in the latter case, the mounting plate 8th is preferably glued to a glass plate. However, it is also conceivable - as already mentioned above - to a sliding door element consisting of a glass or plastic plate directly a corresponding slot-like recess 3a to install.

The 13 to 15 show that in a guide rail 9 for receiving the upper crosspiece 5f of the drive carrier 5 an end stop 10 is used, on the one hand with a stop block 10a and on the other hand with a retaining tongue 10b which are perpendicular to the direction of displacement of the drive 1 is resilient, is equipped. The end stop 10 is firmly in the guide rail 9 assembled.

The stop block 10a serves as Endbegrenzung for the displacement of a sliding or Faltschiebetür, said stop block 10 in the displacement of the resilient end regions in the direction of displacement 5 g of the drive carrier 5 lies. Due to this resilient design of the end areas 5 g a damping is ensured when reaching the end position. The retaining tongue 10b of the end stop 10 acts together with the also perpendicular to the direction of displacement resilient tongues 5 h of the drive carrier 5 , The retaining tongue 10b is in terms of their contour of the contour of the resilient tongues 5h adapted and with closed sliding or Faltschiebetür 2 lies the retaining tongue 10b under a certain positive fit on one of the resilient tongues 5h of the drive carrier 5 on. This results in a relatively secure tumbler of the sliding or folding sliding door 2 in closed position. When reopening are low frictional forces between the tongues 5h and the retaining tongue 10b overcome the end stop, but these frictional forces are relatively low, so that here no excessive force is required to a sliding or Faltschiebetür 2 to open out of the closed position.

The drive according to the invention 1 consists of a total of a few parts, is easy to assemble together and just as easy on a sliding or Faltschiebetür 2 to fix. This also applies if such a door is equipped with a frame made of hollow sections. The installation of the drive on a sliding or folding sliding door is easy to carry out and ultimately requires no tools.
