Aus der europäischen Patentanmeldung EP 0 370 324 A2 ist ein Torblatt bekannt, bei dem einander zugewandte Stirnseiten der Paneele mit bogenförmig verlaufenden Stirnflächen versehen sind, so daß in keiner Verschwenkungsstellung der Paneele ein fingerbreiter Spalt entsteht.From European patent application EP 0 370 324 A2 is a Door leaf known, in which facing end faces of the Provide panels with curved end faces are so that in no pivoting position of the panels finger-wide gap arises.

Die französische Patentanmeldung FR-A-2 220 659 zeigt eine Fingerschutzeinrichtung für Türen mit zwei kreisbogenförmig gekrümmten Schutzabschnitten. French patent application FR-A-2 220 659 shows one Finger protection device for doors with two circular arches curved protective sections.

In der österreichischen Patentschrift AT 390 297 B ist eine weitere Fingerschutzeinrichtung gezeigt, bei dem eine erste Sektion einen kreiszylingerförmig gekrümmten Vorsprung aufweist, welcher in eine an einer zweiten Sektion vorgesehene Längsausnehmung eingreift. Der gekrümmte Vorsprung ist integraler Bestandteil eines tragenden Hauptabschnitts der ersten Sektion, der beispielsweise auch zur Befestigung eines Scharniers zur Verbindung der Torsektionen miteinander dient.In Austrian patent specification AT 390 297 B there is one further finger protection device shown, in which a first Section has a circularly curved projection, which is provided in a second section Longitudinal recess engages. The curved projection is more integral Part of a load-bearing main section of the first Section, for example also for fastening a hinge serves to connect the door sections with each other.

Weitere Fingerschutzeinrichtungen sind aus Fig. 6 des Artikels "Sectional-Tore mit Fingerschutz" von Ing. Hugo Wagner, TÜR + TOR-REPORT, 12. Jahrg., 1. Quartal 1992, Seiten 10 und 12 bekannt. Die Hauptabschnitte der einzelnen Sektionen sind mit den Schutz- und Randabschnitten integral ausgebildet. Die Sektionen sind an den Längskanten komplex geformt, um ineinandergreifend den Fingerschutz zu ergeben.Further finger protection devices are from Fig. 6 of the article "Sectional gates with finger protection" by Ing. Hugo Wagner, TÜR + TOR-REPORT, 12th year, 1st quarter 1992, pages 10 and 12 known. The main sections of each section are with the Protective and edge sections integrally formed. The sections are complexly shaped on the longitudinal edges to interlock to give finger protection.

Es ist Aufgabe der Erfindung, eine Fingerschutzeinrichtung der eingangs genannten Art so weiterzubilden, daß sie kostengünstig und einfach für eine Reihe von Ausführungen von Sektionaltoren bereitgestellt werden kann. Insbesondere soll die Fingerschutzeinrichtung auch an bestehenden Toren nachrüstbar sein. Weiterhin soll die Fingerschutzeinrichtung zuverlässig an den Sektionen befestigbar sein.It is an object of the invention to provide a finger protection device type mentioned in such a way that they are inexpensive and simple for a range of sectional door designs can be provided. In particular, the finger protection device can also be retrofitted to existing gates. Farther the finger protection device should reliably on the sections be attachable.

Erfindungsgemäß wird diese Aufgabe durch einen Fingerschutz für Tore der eingangs genannten Art gelöst, der die Merkmale des Anspruchs 1 aufweist.According to the invention, this task is performed by finger protection Gates of the type mentioned solved that the characteristics of Claim 1 has.

Die Funktion des Fingerschutzes wird durch das Zusammenwirken von Randabschnitten mit speziellen Fingerschutzprofilen bewirkt, wobei die Profile keine integralen Teile der Hauptabschnitte sind. Daher können übliche, einfach geformte (zum Beispiel rechteckige) Hauptabschnitte zum Aufbau des Tores verwendet werden. Solche Hauptabschnitte sind viel kostengünstiger und in viel größerer Vielfalt herzustellen als die oben beschriebenen Sektionen mit integralem Fingerschutz-Profil. Man kann die Sektionen auch in der für das Tor am besten geeigneten Breite und Dicke herstellen, insbesondere auch aus handelsüblichen Profilen oder Abkantprofilen, ohne auf den Fingerschutz Rücksicht nehmen zu müssen.The function of the finger protection is due to the interaction edge sections with special finger protection profiles, the profiles are not integral parts of the main sections are. Therefore, conventional, simply shaped (for Example of rectangular) main sections for building the gate be used. Such major sections are much less expensive and to manufacture in much greater variety than the one above described sections with integral finger protection profile. Man can also use the sections in the most suitable for the goal Make width and thickness, especially from commercially available Profiles or folding profiles without the finger protection To have to be considerate.

Dadurch, daß erfindungsgemäß das Fingerschutzprofil fest mit dem Hauptabschnitt der ersten Sektion zu verbinden ist und es sich zusätzlich an dem Randabschnitt der ersten Sektion abzustützen vermag, ist eine besonders stabile Befestigung des Fingerschutzprofils an der ersten Sektion möglich, auch dann, wenn die erste Sektion relativ große Maßtoleranzen aufweist oder verbogen ist.The fact that the finger protection profile according to the invention with to connect the main section of the first section and it additionally support yourself on the edge section of the first section is a particularly stable attachment of the finger protection profile possible on the first section, even if the first section has relatively large dimensional tolerances or is bent.

Der "Hauptabschnitt" einer Sektion braucht nicht notwendigerweise ein integrales Werkstück sein. Er kann vielmehr aus mehreren fest miteinander verbundenen Teilen zusammengesetzt sein. Dies ist beispielsweise bei dem Tor der österreichischen Patentschrift AT 390 297 B der Fall, bei dem der Hauptabschnitt jeder Sektion zwei U-Profile sowie mindestens ein Zwischenstück aufweist.The "main section" of a section does not necessarily need to be an integral workpiece. Rather, it can consist of several be firmly connected parts assembled. This is the case, for example, with the gate of the Austrian patent specification AT 390 297 B the case where the main section Each section has two U profiles and at least one intermediate piece having.

Die erfindungsgemäß gefertigten Profile der Fingerschutzeinrichtung werden mit den Hauptabschnitten fest angeschraubt, angeklebt, oder angenietet. Dies kann entweder bei der Herstellung der Sektionaltore oder auch nachträglich an der Baustelle erfolgen, zum Beispiel, wenn der Sonderbelag durch den Bauherrn auf das Sektionaltor aufgebracht wird. Vorzugsweise durchdringen die Befestigungsmittel für das Fingerschutzprofil den Randabschnitt der ersten Sektion nicht, so daß sie nicht von außen sichtbar sind.The profiles of the finger protection device produced according to the invention are fixed with the main sections screwed, glued, or riveted. This can be done either in the manufacture of sectional doors or can also be done later on the construction site, for example, if the special covering is placed on the sectional door by the client is applied. The fastening means preferably penetrate for the finger protection profile the edge section of the not in the first section, so that they are not visible from the outside.

Erfindungsgemäß können die Profile der Fingerschutzeinrichtung aus Kunststoff gefertigt sein, vorzugsweise durch Strangpressen oder Stranggießen. Diese Ausführung hat die für Kunststoffe typischen Vorteile, zum Beispiel geringes Gewicht. Wenn ein flexibler Kunststoff verwendet wird, kann man die Profile elastisch gestalten. Vorzugsweise sind die aus Kunststoff gefertigten Profile relativ dünn und weisen eine Materialdicke von höchstens 4 mm auf. Die Profile sind vorzugsweise frei von Hohlräumen.According to the invention, the profiles of the finger protection device be made of plastic, preferably by extrusion or continuous casting. This version has the one for plastics typical advantages, for example low weight. When a Flexible plastic is used, the profiles can be made elastic shape. They are preferably made of plastic Profiles relatively thin and have a material thickness of at most 4 mm. The profiles are preferably free of Cavities.

Erfindungsgemäße Profile können auch aus Metallblech, insbesondere aus Aluminium-, Eisen- oder Stahlblech, gefertigt sein, das relativ dünn sein kann und vorzugsweise eine Dicke von höchstens 1,5 mm oder 1 mm hat. Die Profile werden aus dem Blech durch Umformung gebildet, also gebogen, gezogen, gepreßt oder gewalzt. Auch ist deren Herstellung aus handelsüblichen Walzprofilen möglich. Die Herstellung ist kostengünstig und auch ohne aufwendige Spezialmaschinen und -werkzeuge in jeder gewünschten Größe möglich. Ein Fingerschutzprofil paßt für viele verschiedene Profile handelsüblicher Ausführung aus Stahl oder Aluminium, die zur Herstellung von Sektionen für Sektionaltore verwendet werden. Das Metallblech kann lackiert oder durch sonstige Oberflächenbehandlung optisch an das Sektionaltor angepaßt werden.Profiles according to the invention can also be made of sheet metal, in particular be made of aluminum, iron or steel sheet, which can be relatively thin and preferably a thickness of at most 1.5 mm or 1 mm. The profiles are made from sheet metal formed by forming, that is, bent, drawn, pressed or rolled. They are also manufactured from commercially available rolled profiles possible. The manufacture is inexpensive and also without any complex special machines and tools in any desired Size possible. A finger protection profile fits many various profiles of commercially available steel or Aluminum used in the manufacture of sections for sectional doors be used. The metal sheet can be painted or otherwise Surface treatment optically adapted to the sectional door will.

Die Profile haben außer dem Fingerschutz vorzugsweise noch die Aufgabe, die Zwischenräume zwischen den Sektionen abzudichten, zum Beispiel gegen Luftzug, Regen und Staub. Dies geschieht entweder dadurch, daß die sich überlappenden Schutz-, Rand- und Abdeckabschnitte eine Labyrinthdichtung (Wirbelkammer) bilden, oder dadurch, daß die an den ersten Sektionen angebrachten Fingerschutzprofile zumindest eine Dichtungslippe aufweisen, die jeweils mit einem Bereich der ersten Sektion und/oder einem Bereich einer benachbarten zweiten Sektion in Eingriff steht.In addition to finger protection, the profiles preferably also have the Task to seal the gaps between the sections, for example against drafts, rain and dust. this happens either in that the overlapping protective, marginal and Cover sections form a labyrinth seal (swirl chamber), or by attaching them to the first sections Finger protection profiles have at least one sealing lip, each with an area of the first section and / or one Area of an adjacent second section is engaged.

Erfindungsgemäße Profile haben nicht die Aufgabe, die einzelnen Sektionen zu führen oder gelenkig miteinander zu verbinden. Sie sind daher vorzugsweise frei von unmittelbaren form-, materialoder kraftschlüssigen Verbindungen mit anderen Sektionen oder Profilen. Wenn man auf die Abdichtungsfunktion verzichtet, kann der Abstand der Profile an den Überlappungsbereichen ziemlich groß sein, solange nur verhindert wird, daß ein Finger dazwischen geraten kann. Daher können die Profile gegebenenfalls auch mit großen Toleranzen gefertigt werden.Profiles according to the invention do not have the task of the individual To lead sections or to connect them in an articulated manner. she are therefore preferably free of immediate form, material or positive connections with other sections or Profiles. If you do without the sealing function, you can the distance of the profiles at the overlap areas quite be large, as long as it prevents a finger between them can guess. Therefore, the profiles can if necessary can also be manufactured with large tolerances.

Eine besonders gute Schutz- und Abdichtwirkung erzielt man, wenn an der zweiten Sektion ein Abdeckabschnitt angebracht ist, der zumindest einen Überlappungsabschnitt der zweiten Sektion mit dem Schutzabschnitt und/oder dem Randabschnitt der ersten Sektion bildet, wobei der Abdeckabschnitt von einem aus Kunststoff oder Metallblech gefertigten Abdeckprofil gebildet ist und jedes am Sektionaltor montierte Abdeckprofil mit dem Hauptabschnitt einer zugehörigen zweiten Sektion fest verbunden, aber nicht mit diesem integral ist.A particularly good protection and sealing effect is achieved if a cover section is attached to the second section, the at least one overlap section of the second section with the protective section and / or the edge section of the first Section forms, the cover section of a plastic or sheet metal manufactured cover profile is formed and each cover profile mounted on the sectional door with the main section an associated second section, but is not integral with this.

Um einen gleichmäßigen und relativ engen Abstand der Schutzund Abdeckabschnitte in jeder Verschwenkungsstellung des Sektionaltors zu erreichen, ist jeder Schutzabschnitt vorzugsweise so geformt, daß dessen im Querschnitt bogenförmige Krümmung im wesentlichen einem Bogen eines Kreises entspricht, dessen Mittelpunkt bei montierter Fingerschutzeinrichtung auf der Schwenkachse der jeweiligen ersten und zweiten Sektionen zueinander liegt. Weiterhin kann auch der Abdeckabschnitt jedes Abdeckprofils, soweit vorhanden, im Querschnitt bogenförmig gekrümmt sein. Insbesondere ist es sinnvoll, wenn die im Querschnitt bogenförmige Krümmung jedes Schutzabschnitts und/oder Abdeckabschnitts im wesentlichen einem Bogen eines Kreises entspricht, dessen Mittelpunkt bei montierter Fingerschutzeinrichtung auf der Schwenkachse der jeweiligen ersten und zweiten Sektionen zueinander liegt.To maintain an even and relatively close distance between the protection and Cover sections in each pivoting position of the sectional door to achieve each protection section is preferred shaped so that its arcuate cross-section in cross section corresponds essentially to an arc of a circle, the center of which with finger protection installed on the swivel axis the respective first and second sections to each other lies. Furthermore, the cover section of each cover profile, if available, curved in cross section be. In particular, it makes sense if the cross section arcuate curvature of each protective section and / or cover section essentially corresponds to an arc of a circle, its center when the finger protection device is installed on the pivot axis of the respective first and second Sections to each other.

Vorzugsweise sind benachbarte Schutz-, Rand- und Abdeckabschnitte so geformt, daß sich die überlappenden Bereiche in geringem und bei jeder bei der Benutzung des Sektionaltores auftretenden Verschwenkungsstellung im wesentlichen gleichbleibendem Abstand voneinander befinden. Dadurch wird in jeder auftretenden Verschwenkung der Sektionen sicher verhindert, daß ein Finger eingeklemmt werden kann.Adjacent protective, edge and cover sections are preferred shaped so that the overlapping areas in low and with everyone when using the sectional door occurring pivot position essentially constant Distance from each other. This will make everyone occurring pivoting of the sections safely prevented that a finger can get caught.

Ein optisch einheitlicheres Bild des Sektionaltores erhält man, wenn bei Betrachtung des Sektionaltores von der Außenseite die benachbarten Randabschnitte derjenigen Sektionen, die zueinander koplanar (also in einer gemeinsamen Ebene) liegen, die hinter ihnen befindlichen Profile überwiegend verdecken. Dann ist es auch nicht nötig, die Profile optisch der Außenseite der Sektionen anzupassen.A visually more uniform picture of the sectional door is obtained, when looking at the sectional door from the outside adjacent edge sections of those sections that are facing each other coplanar (i.e. in a common plane) are behind mostly hide the profiles located on them. Then it is also not necessary to optically look at the outside of the profiles Adapt sections.

Um einen besonders großen Verschwenkungswinkel der Sektionen zuzulassen, kann die im Querschnitt bogenförmige Krümmung jedes Schutz- und/oder Abdeckabschnitts im wesentlichen halbkreisförmig sein.By a particularly large pivoting angle of the sections allow, the curvature in cross section can be any Protection and / or cover section substantially semicircular be.

Besonders vorteilhaft ist es, wenn zwischen dem an der ersten Sektion angebrachten Fingerschutzprofil und dem Hauptabschnitt bzw. dem Randabschnitt der ersten Sektion ein Hohlraum freigelassen ist. Dieser Hohlraum bietet Platz für die Köpfe von Befestigungsmitteln, zum Beispiel Schrauben oder Nieten, die den Belag auf der Vorderseite des Tores halten. Wenn zum Beispiel ein Holzbelag von der Torinnenseite aufgeschraubt ist, kann das Fingerschutzprofil leicht nachträglich angebracht werden. Da der Fingerschutz nur mit dem jeweiligen Hauptabschnitt (und nicht mit anderen Beschlagteilen wie Bändern, Scharnieren, Lagern von Laufwerken und so weiter) verschraubt ist, braucht beim Abnehmen des Belags nur der Fingerschutz entfernt zu werden.It is particularly advantageous if between the first Section attached finger protection profile and the main section or the edge section of the first section is left free is. This cavity accommodates the heads of fasteners, for example screws or rivets that Hold the covering on the front of the gate. If for example a wooden covering is screwed on from the inside of the gate Finger protection profile can be easily retrofitted. There the finger protection only with the respective main section (and not with other hardware components such as hinges, hinges, bearings of drives and so on) is needed when removing the covering, only the finger protection has to be removed.

Ein erfindungsgemäßer Fingerschutz, insbesondere einer, der einen großen Verschwenkungsbereich der Sektionen zuläßt, ist nicht nur zum Einsatz an Sektionaltoren geeignet, sondern auch für alle Arten von an Zargen schwenkbar gelagerten Türen und Toren. In diesem Fall wird eine Sektion von der eigentlichen Türe, dem Tor oder einem Tür- oder Torflügel gebildet und die zweite Sektion ist ein Abschnitt der Zarge. Auch kann eines der Profile der Fingerschutzeinrichtung als Zarge dienen und fest in dem Mauerwerk verankert sein. Das andere Profil ist dann an dem schwenkbaren Türflügel angebracht.An inventive finger protection, especially one that allows a large pivoting range of the sections not only suitable for use on sectional doors, but also for all types of hinged doors and frames Fools. In this case, a section of the actual Door, the gate or a door or gate wing formed and the second section is a section of the frame. One of the Profiles of the finger protection device serve as a frame and are firm be anchored in the masonry. The other profile is then on attached to the swiveling door leaf.

in each case a cross section through part of a sectional door with finger protection according to the invention in coplanar alignment of the sections, the sections being designed in various materials and shapes using commercially available standard profiles.

In den Fig. 1 bis 11 sind jeweils zwei benachbarte Sektionen 1 und 2 eines Sektionaltors gezeigt, die durch einen Zwischenraum 10 getrennt sind. Die Sektion 1 weist einen Hauptabschnitt 3 mit einem Randabschnitt 3c und einer Aussparung 5 auf, die an zwei Seiten von dem Hauptabschnitt 3 bzw. dem Randabschnitt 3c begrenzt ist. Ebenso weist die Sektion 2 einen Hauptabschnitt 4 mit einem Randabschnitt 4c und einer Aussparung 6 auf.1 to 11 are two adjacent sections 1 and 2 of a sectional gate shown through a space 10 are separated. Section 1 has a main section 3 with an edge portion 3c and a recess 5 on the two sides of the main portion 3 and the edge portion 3c is limited. Section 2 also has a main section 4 with an edge section 4c and a recess 6.

Die Sektionen 1 und 2 sind durch an den Hauptabschnitten 3 und 4 befestigte Scharniere (nicht eingezeichnet) gelenkig miteinander verbunden und um eine Achse 9 gegeneinander verschwenkbar.Sections 1 and 2 are through on main sections 3 and 4 attached hinges (not shown) hinged together connected and pivotable about an axis 9 against each other.

Die in den Fig. 1 bis 11 dargestellten Randabschnitte 3c und 4c stehen in Richtung auf den Zwischenraum 10 aus den Hauptabschnitten 3 und 4 vor. Sie sind dünner als die Hauptabschnitte 3 und 4, so daß sich hinter den Randabschnitten 3c bzw. 4c die Aussparungen 5 bzw. 6 ergeben.The edge sections 3c and 4c shown in FIGS. 1 to 11 stand in the direction of the space 10 from the main sections 3 and 4 before. They are thinner than the main sections 3 and 4, so that behind the edge sections 3c and 4c Cutouts 5 and 6 result.

Ein Fingerschutzprofil 7 und, soweit vorhanden, ein Abdeckprofil 8 sind in den Aussparungen 5 und 6 hinter den Randabschnitten 3c und 4c angeordnet. Dadurch sind die Profile 7 und 8 von der Vorderseite des Sektionaltores nur durch den Zwischenraum 10 sichtbar. Zur Rückseite hin ragen die Profile 7 und 8 nicht über die Hauptabschnitte 3 und 4 heraus.A finger protection profile 7 and, if available, a cover profile 8 are in the recesses 5 and 6 behind the edge portions 3c and 4c arranged. This makes the profiles 7 and 8 from the front of the sectional door only through the space 10 visible. The profiles 7 protrude towards the rear and 8 not out over the main sections 3 and 4.

Das Fingerschutzprofil 7 weist einen kreisbogenförmigen Schutzabschnitt 7a, einen Befestigungsabschnitt 7b, eine Kontaktfläche 7g und einen Verbindungsabschnitt 7h auf. Das in den Fig. 3 bis 11 gezeigte Abdeckprofil 8 weist einen kreisbogenförmig gekrümmten Abdeckabschnitt 8a sowie einen Befestigungsabschnitt 8b auf.The finger protection profile 7 has an arcuate protection section 7a, a fastening section 7b, a contact surface 7g and a connecting portion 7h. 3 11 to 11 shown cover profile has a circular arc Cover section 8a and a fastening section 8b.

Die in den Fig. 1 bis 3 gezeigten Hauptabschnitte 3 und 4 der Sektionen 1 und 2 weisen jeweils ein Hutprofil 3b und 4b auf, das an der Vorderseite des Sektionaltores mit einem Blechbelag 3a und 4a verkleidet ist. An den Randabschnitten 3c und 4c ist der Blechbelag 3a und 4a jeweils um einen Rand des Hutprofils 3b und 4b gebogen. Der als Flansch ausgebildete Befestigungsabschnitt 7b des Fingerschutzprofils 7 ist mit Befestigungslöchern 7c zur Befestigung des Profils 7 am Hutprofil 3b versehen. Das Fingerschutzprofil 7 liegt am Befestigungsabschnitt 7b und an einer nicht gebogenen Kontaktfläche 7g am Hutprofil 3b an. Zwischen diesen Flächen ist ein Hohlraum 11 gebildet, der zum Beispiel einen Schraubenkopf aufnehmen kann.The main sections 3 and 4 shown in FIGS. 1 to 3 of the Sections 1 and 2 each have a hat profile 3b and 4b, that at the front of the sectional door with a sheet metal covering 3a and 4a is disguised. At the edge sections 3c and 4c the sheet metal covering 3a and 4a each around an edge of the hat profile 3b and 4b bent. The mounting section designed as a flange 7b of the finger protection profile 7 is with fastening holes 7c to attach the profile 7 to the hat profile 3b. The finger protection profile 7 lies on the fastening section 7b and on a non-curved contact surface 7g on the hat profile 3b. A cavity 11 is formed between these surfaces, that can hold a screw head, for example.

Das in den Fig. 1 und 2 gezeigte Fingerschutzprofil 7 weist weiterhin drei Dichtungslippen 7d, 7e und 7f aus Gummi auf, die jeweils am bogenförmig gekrümmten Schutzabschnitt 7a angeordnet sind. Die am Ende des Schutzabschnitts 7a angeordnete Lippe 7d greift in allen Verschwenkungsstellungen des Sektionaltores in das Hutprofil 4b der benachbarten Sektion 2 ein und die Lippe 7f in den Randabschnitt 3c der Sektion 1, während die Lippe 7e bei koplanarer Ausrichtung der Sektionen 1 und 2 in den Randabschnitt 4c der benachbarten Sektion 2 eingreift.The finger protection profile 7 shown in FIGS. 1 and 2 has further three rubber sealing lips 7d, 7e and 7f on the each arranged on the arcuate protective section 7a are. The lip 7d arranged at the end of the protective section 7a engages in all pivoting positions of the sectional door the hat profile 4b of the adjacent section 2 and the lip 7f in the edge section 3c of section 1, while the lip 7e with sections 1 and 2 coplanarly aligned in the edge section 4c of the adjacent section 2 engages.

In Fig. 1 sind die Sektionen 1 und 2 koplanar ausgerichtet, also in einer Stellung, in der die Hauptebenen der Sektionen zusammenfallen. Das ist beispielsweise bei einem geschlossenen Sektionaltor der Fall. Der Zwischenraum 10 ist hier relativ klein und der bogenförmig gekrümmte Schutzabschnitt 7a des Fingerschutzprofils 7 überlappt sich im wesentlichen vollständig mit dem vorstehenden Randabschnitt 4c der benachbarten Sektion 2.1, the sections 1 and 2 are coplanar, So in a position in which the main levels of the sections collapse. This is for example a closed one Sectional gate the case. The space 10 is relative here small and the arcuate protective section 7a of the finger protection profile 7 essentially overlaps completely with the protruding edge portion 4c of the adjacent section 2nd

In Fig. 2 sind die Sektionen 1 und 2 gegeneinander verschwenkt. Eine solche Stellung tritt beispielsweise während des Öffnens des Tors bei denjenigen Sektionen auf, die gerade von einer vertikalen in eine horizontale Lage überführt werden. Der Zwischenraum 10 ist hier relativ groß und der Schutzabschnitt 7a des Fingerschutzprofils 7 überlappt sich nur etwa zur Hälfte mit dem Randabschnitt 4c der benachbarten Sektion 2. Ein Finger kann nur soweit in den Zwischenraum 10 eingeführt werden, bis er an das Fingerschutzprofil 7 stößt. Da sich der Schutzabschnitt 7a des Fingerschutzprofils 7 in geringem Abstand hinter den Randabschnitten 3c und 4c befindet, wird ein Einklemmen des Fingers zwischen den die Randabschnitte 3c und 4c abschließenden Kanten sicher verhindert, auch wenn die Sektionen 1 und 2 wieder in die koplanare Ausrichtung der Fig. 1 überführt werden.In Fig. 2, the sections 1 and 2 are pivoted against each other. Such a position occurs, for example, during opening of the gate on those sections that are currently from one vertical to horizontal position. The gap 10 is relatively large here and the protective section 7a of the finger protection profile 7 overlaps only about half with the edge section 4c of the adjacent section 2. A finger can only be inserted into the space 10 until he hits the finger protection profile 7. Because the protection section 7a of the finger protection profile 7 at a short distance behind the edge sections 3c and 4c is a pinching of the Fingers between the end sections 3c and 4c Edges safely prevented, even if sections 1 and 2 be transferred back into the coplanar orientation of FIG. 1.

In Fig. 3 ist das den Abdeckabschnitt 8a bildende Abdeckprofil 8 mit einem als Flansch ausgebildeten Befestigungsabschnitt 8b am mit Befestigungslöchern 4d versehenen Hutprofil 4c befestigt. Die im Querschnitt kreisbogenförmig gekrümmten Abschnitte 7a und 8a der Profile 7 und 8 sind äquidistant zueinander. Da die Mittelpunkte der durch die Querschnitte der Abschnitte 7a und 8a definierten Kreise auf der Schwenkachse 9 der Sektionen 1 und 2 liegen, bleibt die äquidistante Anordnung der Abschnitte 7a und 8a in jeder bei der Benutzung des Sektionaltores auftretenden Verschwenkungsstellung erhalten.3 is the cover section forming the cover section 8a 8 with a fastening section 8b designed as a flange attached to the hat profile 4c provided with fastening holes 4d. The sections curved in a circular arc 7a and 8a of the profiles 7 and 8 are equidistant from one another. Because the centers of the through the cross sections of the sections 7a and 8a defined circles on the pivot axis 9 of the sections 1 and 2 lie, the equidistant arrangement of the sections remains 7a and 8a in each when using the sectional door receive occurring pivot position.

Die Fig. 4 bis 11 zeigen weitere mögliche Ausgestaltungen einer erfindungsgemäßen Fingerschutzeinrichtung, wobei hauptsächlich aus handelsüblichen Profilen gebildete Sektionen gezeigt sind. Fig. 4 stellt eine Fingerschutzeinrichtung an zwei T-Profilen eines Tores dar, Fig. 5 in C-Profile eingebaut, Fig. 6 an Holzprofilen, Fig. 7 an Stahlzargen, Fig. 8 an zwei Hutprofilen, Fig. 9 an zwei Z-Profilen, Fig. 10 an zwei C-Profilen und Fig. 11 an zwei Anschlagrohr-Profilen.4 to 11 show further possible configurations of a Finger protection device according to the invention, wherein mainly Sections formed from commercially available profiles are shown. Fig. 4 shows a finger protection device on two T-profiles a gate, Fig. 5 installed in C-profiles, Fig. 6 on wooden profiles, 7 on steel frames, FIG. 8 on two hat profiles, 9 on two Z-profiles, FIG. 10 on two C-profiles and FIG. 11 on two stop tube profiles.

Insbesondere bei der in Fig. 7 gezeigte Ausführung, bei der die Fingerschutz- bzw. Abdeckprofile 7 bzw. 8 jeweils einen im wesentlichen halbkreisförmigen Fingerschutz- bzw. Abdeckabschnitt 7a bzw. 8a aufweisen, sind die Sektionen 1 und 2 gegeneinander um bis zu 180° verschwenkbar.In particular, in the embodiment shown in Fig. 7, in which the Finger protection or cover profiles 7 and 8 each essentially one semicircular finger protection or cover section 7a and 8a, the sections 1 and 2 are against each other can be swiveled by up to 180 °.
