Description

The invention relates to a seal, in particular an automatically lowerable bottom seal for doors, wherein the seal has a seal housing, a sealing means which is preferably mounted in the seal housing and fastening means for fixing the seal housing in a groove of a door, a window or the like. The invention further relates to a door leaf with such a seal, a method for producing such seals, a method for producing a door leaf with such a seal and a device for mounting seals in door leaves.

Seals of the type mentioned are, for example, from the publication with the publication number DE 203 00 265 U1 known. As a fastener, the seal disclosed in this document has an elbow and mounting screws. The angle pieces are inserted laterally with a leg in the seal housing of the seal. The other leg protrudes out of the housing and has a hole for the fastening screw, which can be screwed to the hinge side and / or the lock side for fastening the seal in the door leaf.

Seals of the aforementioned type are provided for manual mounting on the door leaves. The assembly is done either in a door manufacturing plant (door plant) or at the place often a construction site, where the door is mounted in a building. The attachment of the seal with an elbow and fastening screws as fasteners has proven in the past to be simple and inexpensive.

More recently, there has been an increasing focus on a few door manufacturers, along with a focus on fewer door systems. In today's door factories, significantly higher numbers of doors are produced than was the case in the past.

The manual installation of the door seals in these larger door works proves increasingly a competitive disadvantage, since the manual installation of the door seals personnel-intensive and therefore costly. There is therefore a need to automate the assembly of the door seals in the door panels and at least partially machine but advantageous to do it completely by machine.

Another approach is used in the document EP 1 138 865 A2 disclosed technology pursued. When in the document EP 1 138 865 A2 disclosed technique, fastening means are at least partially disposed captive on the seal housing before mounting the seal in the groove.

For the purposes of the invention, captive means that the parts of the fastening means connected to the sealing housing do not become detached from the sealing housing due to the forces usually occurring during the transport of a seal. However, captive in the sense of the invention does not necessarily mean that the fastening means are connected to the seal housing so that they could not be completely or partially detached from the seal housing by hand or by means of a tool. A loosening of the fastening means of the seal housing by hand or by means of a tool may remain possible or excluded.

The seal from the document EP 1 138 865 A2 has on and / or indenting elements for securing the seal in a groove of a door. The elements for pressing and / or pressing can be pressed apart by spreading. The actuation of the expansion element via a screw that has to be rotated to move the expansion element. This has a hexagon key surface.

The key surface is located deep inside the seal. The key area is not easily accessible from the outside. So must first attach the trigger from the Seal are removed, which is impractical. A mechanical installation of such a seal by a door manufacturer is possible only with great effort. For mechanical assembly, the trigger must either first be removed from the seal to be re-inserted into the seal after the seal is attached, or the trigger will be delivered separately from the remainder of the seal and for the first time after seal assembly in the door at the seal , In both cases, the final assembly is done by the door manufacturer.

Although an at least partially mechanical installation of the known door seals is possible in principle, but has some disadvantages resulting from the design of the door seals for manual installation. One of the disadvantages is that the fasteners are supplied detached from the rest of the seal by the manufacturer of the door seals. This detached delivery of the fasteners requires that the fasteners as well as the rest of the seal, in particular the seal housing with the sealant disposed therein, a device for mounting the door seals must be supplied. Although this is basically possible and also cheaper than a manual assembly, especially at high numbers to be assembled. However, this obvious solution is not the optimum.

This is where the present inventions begin.

The seals shown in the figures have a seal housing 2, which are inserted into a groove in the lower end of a door panel 1 or can be used. In the seal housing 2 is usually a mechanism not shown in the figures and also in the Figures not shown sealant accommodated. The mechanism is intended for an automatic lowering of the sealant.

The seal housing 2 of the seals is configured substantially U-shaped and has two legs 21, 23, which are connected to one another via a web 22.

Both the door leaf 1 and the seal housing 2 and the legs 21, 23 and the web 22 of the seal housing 2 are denoted by the same reference numerals in the figures. Particular features of the seal housing 2 of the various embodiments will be particularly pointed out below.

The seals and in particular the seal housing 2 are fastened to the door leaf 1 via fastening means. On the basis of the fastening means differ the various embodiments of the seals, which are shown in the figures.

In Fig. 1 is a part, namely an elbow of a fastener 3 is shown. The elbow has a first portion 31 formed by one of the legs of the elbow. A second portion 32 of the elbow 3 is formed by the other leg of the elbow. The second portion 32, on the other hand, serves to fix the elbow and the elbow-connected seal housing 2 to the door panel 1. The second portion 32 is for attachment to the door panel 1 a hole 35 is provided, through which a fastening screw 36 is passed, with which the angle piece and thus the entire seal on the door panel 1 can be attached.

The seal housing 2 of the first embodiment of the seal has a second web extending parallel to the web 22 and extending between the two legs 21, 22 of the seal housing 2 22a on. This web 22a has a recess 34 in the region of the end of the seal housing.

The angle of the fastener 3 is inserted with the first portion 31 between the web 22 and the second parallel web 22 a. In the first section 31 of the angle piece, a resilient tab 33 is provided with a latching nose 34. When inserting the first portion 31 into the space between the web 22 and the second parallel web 22a, the resilient tab 33 deforms. As soon as the angle is pushed with the first portion 33 far enough into the seal housing 2, the detent latches 34 in the recess 24 in the second parallel web 22 a of the seal housing 2 a. The contra-angle, d. H. the first portion 31 of the fastening means 3 is thus positively connected to the seal housing 2.

Also the seal according to Fig. 2 has a fastening means 4 with an angle piece and a fastening screw 46. The angle piece comprises a first leg which forms a first portion 41 of the fastening means 4 and a second leg which forms a second portion 42 of the fastening means 4. In the second section 42, in turn, a hole 45 is provided, through which the fastening screw 46 is guided.

The second section 42 is in the state prior to mounting the gasket to the door panel 1, as in FIG Fig. 2 shown at an obtuse angle to the first section 41. To assemble the seal, the second portion 42 is bent toward the first portion 41 and positioned on the door panel so that the angle is approximately 90 ° and the second portion abuts the outside of the door panel.

The first section of the fastening means 4 has lateral bulges 43, which are configured such that the first section 41 of the fastening means is press-fitted between the legs 21, 23 of the sealing housing 2. The fastening means 4 is fixed in the seal housing 2 in the longitudinal direction of the first section 41. Upwards and downwards - based on the installation position of the seal in a door - this is done fixing the first portion 41 of the fastener 4 between the web 22 and a spaced collar 22b on the inside of the leg 21 and 22 of the seal housing. 2

The bending of the second section 42 in the direction of the first section 41 can preferably take place by machine.

Also, the seal according to the Fig. 3 and 3a includes a fastener 5 having a first portion 51 and a second portion 52. Furthermore, the fastening means 5 also comprises a fastening screw 56.

The second section 52 serves to fasten the seal to the door leaf 1, for which purpose a hole 55 for the fastening screw 56 is provided in the second section 52.

Furthermore, the fastening means 5 comprises an insert part 54, which is inserted in the seal housing between the web 2 of the seal housing 2 and a collar 22b on the inside of the legs 21 and 22 of the seal housing 2. This insert 54 has an approximately rectangular cross-section and has a channel in which the first portion 51 and the second portion 52 is slidably disposed. The first section is connected to the second section via a hinge 53. Ie. the second portion can be pivoted relative to the first portion 51.

In an arrangement of the first portion 51 and the second portion 52 prior to assembly of the seal both sections are inserted into the insertion part 54. Now, the seal is to be mounted, the second portion 52 is pulled out of the channel of the insert 54 and pivoted by approximately 90 °, so that the second portion may rest against the outside of the door panel 1. With the fastening screw 56, which is guided through the hole 55, the seal is then attached to the door panel 1. Also, the fourth embodiment, as in the Fig. 4 to 4d The angle piece has a first portion 61, and a second portion 62, wherein the first portion 61, a leg and the second portion 62 is formed by the other leg of the elbow. The first portion 61 is formed significantly shorter than the second portion 62 and is pivotally mounted via pins 63 in holes in the region of the web 22 of the seal housing 2. The second section 62 is fixed at an angle of approximately 90 ° in connection with the first section 61.

About the pin 63, the angle piece is captively attached to the seal housing.

To mount the seal on the door leaf 1, the angle piece is pivoted upward until the second portion 62 rests against the door leaf 1. Then, the fastening screw 66 is passed through the hole 65 in the second section 62 for screwing to the door leaf 1.

While the basis of the Fig. 1 to 4d described embodiments fastening means 3, 4, 5, 6 with fastening screws 36, 46, 56, 66, are required for the attachment of the seal housing 2 to the door leaves 1 in the following examples, no mounting screws. Rather, in the following examples, all parts of the fastening means are mounted captive on the seal housing 2 before assembly. For the assembly of the seal on the door leaf 1 therefore no detached from the seal housing 2 parts of the fastening means are necessary. Rather, the seals described below have in common that these elements for pressing and / or pressing with structures for pressing or indentation, which are pressed for mounting the seal in the door leaf 1 to a surface of the door leaf or in a surface of the door panel.

This in Fig. 5 and 5a illustrated fifth embodiment of a seal has a three-piece fastener 7. In this case, the fastening means 7 comprises two elements 71a, 71b which are formed symmetrically with respect to one another and / or impress and an expansion element 74.

With a first end 73 a, 73 b, the elements 71 a, 71 b are set for on and / or impressions on the seal housing 2. The first ends 73a, 73b are positively in recesses in the legs 21, 23 of the seal housing.

At another end, the elements 71a, 71b structures 72a, 72b for pressing and / or pressing in the side walls of the groove of the door panel 1 on. For this purpose, the structures 72a, 72b pass through recesses 25 in the legs 21, 23 of the seal housing 2. The region between the two ends 73a, 73b or 72a, 72b of the elements 71a, 71b is resilient and has an inwardly exposed region 78a, 78b on.

Between the two elements 71a, 71b, the expansion element 74 is inserted. This expansion element 74 is suitable and adapted to push the elements 71a, 71b outward with the structures 72a, 72b, so that the structures 72a, 72b protrude from the recesses 25 in the legs 21, 23 of the seal housing 2. The structures 72 a, 72 b are thereby pressed into the side walls of the groove in the door leaf 1 and digs there, whereby the seal housing 2 is fixedly connected to the door panel 1. The expansion element 74 has, for each element 71a, 71b, two indentations 77a, 77b and 76a, 76b into which the regions 78a, 78b engage in the first position before assembly or in the second, mounted position and are latched.

In the first position of the elements 71a, 71b and the expansion element 74, the areas 78a, 78b engage in the further inwardly extending indentation 77a, 77b. If the expansion element 74 in the second Position brought and thus also the elements 71 a and 71 b placed in their second position, slip the areas 78 a, 78 b of the elements 71 a, 71 b slip over a run-up slope in the second, further outward indentations 76 a, 76 b. The elements 71a, 71b are pressed against their spring force to the outside.

In the first position, the expansion element 74 projects out of the seal housing. In the second position, however, the expansion element 74 closes laterally with the seal housing 2.

If now the connection between the seal and the door leaf 1 are released, the expansion element 74 and the elements 71a, 71b must be brought back into the first position. For this purpose, it is grasped by means of a suitable tool into a bore 75 in the expansion element 71 and the expansion element is pulled out of the seal housing 2 until the regions 78a, 78b of the elements 71a, 71b reach into the first recess 77a, 77b.

In Fig. 5b and Fig. 5c are variants to that in Fig. 5a respectively Fig. 5 shown spreading element 74 shown. The spreading elements 8 shown there have a first portion 81, which essentially comprises the expanding element 74 Fig. 5 and Fig. 5a equivalent. At right angles thereto, however, a second section 82 adjoins outside of the seal housing. This second portion 82 of the expansion element covers a gap remaining between the groove base 11 and the web 22 when the seal housing 2 is not mounted directly on the groove base 11. In the region of the connection between the first portion 81 and the second portion 82, a groove is provided, in which with a tool or other suitable object, for. B. a fingernail can be intervened to pull the spreader 8 from the seal housing.

The spreader 8 according to Fig. 5c Finally, there is a third section 83, which is also at right angles to the first section 81 is arranged outside of the seal housing, which covers the mounted in the seal housing 2 mechanism side. The third portion thus forms a cover, which is attached to the seal housing insertable part of the expansion element.

The sixth embodiment of a seal ( FIG. 6 ) substantially corresponds to the fifth embodiment according to the Fig. 5 and 5a , The difference lies in the formation of the elements 71a, 71b for on and / or impressions. While in the fifth embodiment, two elements for pressing and / or impressions are provided, the ends 73a, 73b are respectively mounted in recesses of the legs 21, 23 of the seal housing 2, the sixth embodiment, two elements 71a, 71b for pressing or pressing on, whose ends are connected via a web 79 with each other. The elements 71a, 71b according to the sixth embodiment are thus integrally connected to each other. The fastening means 7 is thus formed only in two parts. This facilitates compared to the embodiment 5, the assembly of the elements 71 a, 71 b for pressing and / or pressing.

The fastening means 7, as provided for example in the sixth embodiment for a seal, may be arranged at both ends of the seals. Each of these fastening means then has the elements 71 a, 71 b for pressing and / or pressing and a spreading element. The spreading elements must be brought independently of each other in the first or second position to assemble or disassemble the seal in the groove of the door panel 1.

In Fig. 6a a first variant of the seal according to the sixth embodiment is shown, in which a common expansion element 74 is provided, the elements 71 a, 71 b for pressing and / or pressing at two different locations of the seal housing can spread. The elements 71a, 71b for pressing and / or pressing are mounted in the same direction in the seal housing 2. The common expansion element 74 In each case indentations 76a, 76b and 78a, 78b, in which the areas 78a, 78b can engage to fix the elements for pressing and / or pressing 71 a, 71 b in the first and in the second position. The common expansion element 74 has a central portion 7c, which extends from the attachment point of one of the elements 71a, 71b for pressing and / or pressing to the point for attachment of the other elements for pressing and / or pressing and the sections with the Indentations 76a, 76b and 77a, 77b interconnects. By moving this expansion element 74, it is possible to secure the seal housing 2 or the seal at two points by the actuation of a spreading element 74 in the groove of a door leaf 1. The fastening means 7 may be arranged in end regions of a seal housing 2 or else be arranged between the end regions. In particular, the fastening means 7 can be arranged in a shortening region of the seal.

In the Fig. 6b to 6d illustrated second variant of the seal according to FIG. 6 differs essentially by the opposite with respect to the expansion element 74 arranged around a web 79 interconnected elements 71 a, 71 b for on and / or impressions. In addition, the recess is omitted in the expansion element of the second variant, in which engage the elements 71a, 71b for on and / or impressions in the second position of the expansion element. An elastomeric sealing profile is in the Fig. 6b to 6d designated by the reference numeral 110.

The third, in the Fig. 6e to 6g shown variant differs from the second variant essentially in that at the free end of the expansion element 74 - similar to the seal according to Fig. 5c - A side cover is provided.

This in Fig. 7 and 7a illustrated seventh embodiment of a seal has two preferably produced as injection molded plastic parts 91a, 91b for pressing and / or pressing on. These elements are designed in two parts, each one element is associated with a leg 21, 23 of the seal housing 2. The resiliently formed elements 91a, 91b have at one end a pin 92a or 92b, with which the elements 91a, 91b are mounted in a recess of the legs 21, 23. At the other end structures 94a, 94b for pressing and / or pressing against the side walls of the groove in the door leaf 1 are provided. The structures 94a, 94b are toothed, so that they can press well into the lateral boundary surface of the grooves, in particular in the case of wooden doors, in order to fix the seal in the groove.
