Definitions
- the present invention relates to a device in connection with mounting of a door closer, said door closer being intended to actuate a door leaf received in a frame.
- a frequent problem in connection with mounting of conventional door closers is that the attachment that is mounted on the frame/dressing has a tendency to loosen. The reason therefore if that the height, at which said attachment is mounted, is given by the location of the closing mechanism itself on the door leaf.
- the closing mechanism must namely be located relatively close to the upper edge of the door leaf in order to achieve a proper attachment to the frame of the door leaf.
- the fastening means/the screws of the attachment mounted on the frame/dressing are located in the area where the frame and dressing overlap each other, the fastening means/the screws are located exactly at the edge of the frame and splits said frame.
- a door closer is previously known where the actual closing mechanism is mounted on the door leaf, a first arm at one end being pivotally attached to said closing mechanism. At its other end said first arm is pivotally connected with one end of a second arm, the other end of said second arm being pivotally attached, via a mounting element, to the door frame.
- Said mounting element is L-shaped and has a longer part attached to the side of the door frame that faces the door leaf in closed position. The other arm is fastened to the shorter part of the mounting element. In order to avoid that the longer part of the mounting element interferes with the door leaf, when said door leaf is in closed position, said longer part must be recessed in the frame. Apart from being time consuming this is also a damage to the door frame.
- a primary object of the present invention is to provide a device of the type mentioned above, said device resulting in that the attachment of one arm of the door closer to the frame has extremely high strength.
- a further object of the device according to the present invention is that it should be extremely simple to mount without any damage worth to mention on the door frame and the dressing.
- an object of the device according to the present invention is that it is manufactured in dimensions that are adapted to the dimensions of connecting structural parts.
- the first embodiment of a device according to the present invention constitutes a mounting element 1 that comprises a web 3 and two flanges 5 and 7 respectively, said flanges 5 and 7 respectively projecting from said web 3 and being designated the first flange 5 and the second flange 7.
- Each plane of the first and second flanges 5 and 7 respectively has an extension substantially perpendicular to the plane of the web 3.
- the planes of the first and second flanges 5 and 7 are essentially parallel to each other.
- the mounting element 1 has the shape of a Z, i.e. the flanges 5, 7 project from the longitudinal, opposite edges of the web 3, said flanges 5, 7 having an extension in opposite direction compared to each other.
- the second embodiment, shown in figures 3 and 4, of a device according to the present invention constitutes a mounting element 1' that likewise comprises a web 3' and first and second flanges 5 and 7 respectively projecting from the web 3', the planes of the flanges 5, 7, in a corresponding way as in the embodiment according to figures 1 and 2, having an extension substantially perpendicular to the plane of the web 3' and that the planes of the flanges 5, 7 are substantially parallel to each other.
- the principle difference between the mounting element 1 and the mounting element 1' is that the last mentioned has a relatively seen larger web height, the importance of this will be illuminated below in connection with figure 5.
- a frame 12 is mounted in an opening in a wall 13, said frame 12 in a known way being wedged relative to stud 14, i.e. an interspace 15 is created between the frame 12 and the stud 14.
- a dressing 17 is provided in a known way, said dressing 17 having one longitudinal edge abutting the frame 12 and the other longitudinal edge abutting the building board 16 and the stud 14 located inside of the building board 16.
- a door leaf 18 is received in the frame 12 in a known way.
- a mounting element 1 is mounted on the frame 12 in such a way that the second flange 7 abuts the frame 12 and is fastened to said frame 12 by having two first wood screws 19, see figure 6, received in said second through-going, countersunk holes 11, the threaded parts of the wood screws 19 being fastened in the frame 12.
- first wood screws 19 fastened in massive wood in the frame 12
- second wood screw 20 may be provided in the first through-going, countersunk hole 10 in the first flange 5, said wood screw 20 having its threaded part fastened in the dressing 17.
- Said second wood screw 20 has not any direct load carrying function but has in principle only a stabilizing effect.
- the web height of the mounting element 1 corresponds in principle to the thickness of the dressing 17.
- an abutment of the first flange 5 against the dressing 17 will take place when the mounting element 1 is fastened to the frame 12.
- the provision of said second wood screw 20 may to some extent emphasise this abutment.
- the mounting element 1' according to figures 3 and 4 is adapted for a dressing having a lager thickness than the dressing 17.
- a door closer 21 of conventional design is mounted on the door structure according to figure 5, the closing mechanism 22 itself being mounted on the door leaf 18.
- a first arm 23 has one end pivotally attached to the closing mechanism while the other end of said first arm 23 is pivotally connected with one end of a second arm 24, the other end of said second arm 24 being pivotally attached, via an attachment 25, to the mounting element 1 according to the present invention.
- the attachment 25 is fastened to the first flange 5 by means of suitable, threaded screws, not shown, that extends through holes provided in the part of the attachment 25 that the contacts the first flange 5. Said screws, not shown, are fastened in the threaded holes 9 of the first flange 5. Thereby, the attachment 25 is properly attached to the mounting element 1 via its first flange 5.
- the holes 10 and the 11 should be countersunk and being void of an internal thread.
- said holes 10, 11 are intended to receive wood screws.
- these holes are void of a countersink, e.g. in order to decrease manufacturing costs.
- These holes 10, 11 may of course also have an internal thread, said thread however normally has no function.
- the number of second holes 11 in the second flange is according to the invention not restricted to the number of two but a different number of holes 11 are feasible within the scope of the invention, also only one second hole 11 is feasible during certain conditions.
- the first flange 5 is provided with two through-going, internally threaded holes 9. This seems to be the most suitable design. However, the invention is in no way restricted to two through-going, internally threaded holes 9 in the first flange 5, but within the scope of the invention it is also feasible that the flange 5 has a different number of threaded holes, also only one threaded hole may be feasible during certain conditions.
- connection it is also feasible to connect the attachment 25 with the first flange 5 by means of other connecting means that some type of thread connection.
- connecting means in the shape of an adhesive binder that is applied between the contacting surfaces of the attachment 25 and the first flange 5.
- this connection it is feasible, in certain cases, to exclude the through-going holes in the attachment 25 and the first flange 5.
- the material of the mounting element according to the present invention is preferably light metal, however within the scope of the invention other alternative materials are feasible, in exemplifying and non-restricting purpose an injection moulded plastic material may be mentioned.
- the mounting element 1; 1' is used in connection with mounting of a type of door closer that includes a hinged arm structure having a first arm 23 and a second arm 24.
- the mounting element 1; 1' according to the present invention is in no way restricted to be used only in connection with this type of door closer but said mounting element 1; 1' may be used also in connection with other types of door closers.
- a door closer may be mentioned that has a structure including a sliding rail where in such a case the sliding rail normally is supported, via an intermediate mounting plate, by two mounting elements 1; 1' according to the present invention.
- the expression “attachment” in the claims should be given an extensive interpretation, said “attachment” may also constitute certain means and accessories that are necessary for the connection of the door closer with one or several mounting elements 1; 1' according to the present invention.
