Description

Die vorliegende Erfindung betrifft eine Vorrichtung zur insbesondere manuellen Verriegelung eines oder mehrerer Trennelemente, wie Türen, Fenster, Trennwände, Läden und Abdeckungen, die drehbar und/oder seitlich verschiebbar gelagert sind, nach dem Oberbegriff des Patentanspruchs 1.The present invention relates to a device for in particular manual locking of one or more separating elements, such as doors, windows, partitions, shutters and covers, which are rotatably and / or laterally displaceable, according to the preamble of patent claim 1.

Eine Vorrichtung zur manuellen Verriegelung von zwei Trennelementen ist beispielsweise aus EP 0 537 121 A1 bekannt. Bei dieser Verriegelungsvorrichtung ist ein Verriegelungsbolzen an einem der Trennelemente seitlich angeordnet und mittels eines Hebels, der an der zugewandten Seite des weiteren Trennelements angeordnet ist, manuell in eine am Fussboden vorgesehene Hülse einschiebbar. Das Verriegeln der Vorrichtung bedingt daher das Zusammenführen der beiden Trennelemente, die zudem in einer Ebene ausgerichtet sein sollen, damit die Vorrichtungsteile korrekt ineinander greifen können. Die abzuschliessenden Trennelemente sind daher zur Aufnahme der Verriegelungsvorrichtung entsprechend auszugestalten. Die Vorrichtungsteile werden in vertikal ausgerichtete, seitliche Rahmenteile integriert, so dass sie optisch kaum in Erscheinung treten. Die Montage der Vorrichtung in bereits fertig gestellte Trennelemente ist daher kaum möglich oder mit erheblichem Aufwand verbunden.An apparatus for manually locking two separating elements is for example off EP 0 537 121 A1 known. In this locking device, a locking bolt is arranged laterally on one of the separating elements and can be manually inserted into a sleeve provided on the floor by means of a lever which is arranged on the facing side of the further separating element. The locking of the device therefore requires the merging of the two separating elements, which should also be aligned in a plane so that the device parts can engage correctly with each other. The separating elements to be closed are therefore to be configured accordingly for receiving the locking device. The device parts are integrated into vertically aligned, lateral frame parts, so that they hardly appear visually. The installation of the device in already completed dividing elements is therefore hardly possible or associated with considerable effort.

In DE 195 38 485 C2 ist eine Vorrichtung zur Verriegelung von in einer Laufschiene verschiebbar geführten, mit einem Sockelprofil versehenen Trennelementen beschrieben, die eine innerhalb des Sockelprofils des ersten Trennelements angeordnete Gabel und einen im Sockelprofil des zweiten Trennelements vertikal gelagerten Verriegelungsbolzen aufweisen, der beim Aufeinandertreffen der beiden Trennelemente von der mit einer Anlaufschräge versehenen Gabel erfasst und automatisch nach unten in eine im Fussboden eingelassene Bodenhülse eingedrückt wird. Eine Verriegelung des mit dem Verriegelungsbolzen versehenen Trennelements ist daher auch hier nur beim Zusammenfahren beider Trennelemente möglich und erfolgt dadurch automatisch. Die nicht automatische Betätigung des innerhalb des Sockelprofils angeordneten Verriegelungsbolzens dieser Vorrichtung ist nicht vorgesehen und kaum möglich. Die automatische Verriegelung der Trennelemente ist zudem oft nicht erforderlich oder gar unerwünscht. Ferner gelangt der Verriegelungsbolzen beim Einschieben in die Bodenhülse regelmässig mit Schmutz in Berührung der in das Lager des Verriegelungsbolzens transportiert wird und dieses verschmutzt, weshalb der Verriegelungsbolzen nach längerer Betriebsdauer verklemmen bzw. nur noch mit grösserem Kraftaufwand verschoben werden kann. Bei Vorrichtungen dieser Art ist daher mit einem entsprechenden Wartungsaufwand zu rechnen.In DE 195 38 485 C2 a device for locking slidably guided in a running rail, provided with a base profile dividers described having a disposed within the base profile of the first separator fork and a vertically mounted in the base profile of the second partition locking bolt which coincides when the two separating elements of the detected a run-up fork and automatically pressed down in a recessed in the ground floor sleeve. A lock Therefore, the separating element provided with the locking bolt is only possible when the two separating elements move together and is thereby effected automatically. The non-automatic operation of the arranged within the base profile locking bolt of this device is not provided and hardly possible. In addition, the automatic locking of the separating elements is often not required or even undesirable. Furthermore, when inserted into the bottom sleeve, the locking bolt regularly comes in contact with dirt which is transported into the bearing of the locking bolt and contaminates it, which is why the locking bolt can become jammed after a longer period of operation or can only be displaced with greater force. In devices of this type is therefore to be expected with a corresponding maintenance.

Die automatische Verriegelung der beschriebenen Vorrichtung erfordert zudem relativ feingliederige Vorrichtungsteile, beispielsweise den mit dem vertikal gelagerten Verriegelungsbolzen verbundenen Mitnehmerstift, welche zusätzliche Wartungsaufwendungen verursachen können.The automatic locking of the described device also requires relatively delicate device parts, such as the driving pin connected to the vertically mounted locking pin, which may cause additional maintenance costs.

Aus der US-A-1, 709,864 ist ferner eine Verriegelungsvorrichtung bekannt, welche ein mittels einer Lagevorrichtung gehaltenes Verriegelungselement aufweist, das zwischen einer Entriegelungsposition und einer Verriegelungsposition transferierbar ist. Diese Vorrichtung ist für die seitliche Befestigung an einer Tür vorgesehen.From the US-A-1, 709,864 Furthermore, a locking device is known, which has a held by a positioning device locking element, which is transferable between an unlocking position and a locking position. This device is intended for lateral attachment to a door.

Der vorliegenden Erfindung liegt daher die Aufgabe zugrunde, eine robust und kompakt aufgebaute, manuell betätigbare Verriegelungsvorrichtung zu schaffen, die mit geringem Aufwand in ein Trennelement eingebaut werden kann.The present invention is therefore an object of the invention to provide a robust and compact design, manually operable locking device that can be installed with little effort in a separating element.

Insbesondere soll eine Verriegelungsvorrichtung geschaffen werden, mittels der ein einzelnes Trennelement oder auch zwei oder mehrere Trennelemente, beispielsweise Türen, Fenster, Trennwände, Läden, Abdeckungen oder Elemente einer Schiebestapelwand verriegelt werden können.In particular, a locking device is to be created by means of which a single separating element or even two or more separating elements, for example doors, windows, partitions, shops, covers or elements of a sliding stacking wall can be locked.

Zwei mit der Verriegelungsvorrichtung versehene Trennelemente sollen ferner auch dann verriegelbar sein, wenn sie nicht in einer Ebene ausgerichtet sind.Furthermore, two separating elements provided with the locking device should also be lockable, even if they are not aligned in one plane.

Die manuell betätigbare Verriegelungsvorrichtung soll in einer vorzugsweisen Ausgestaltung auch automatisch betätigbar sein.The manually operable locking device should also be automatically operable in a preferred embodiment.

Diese Aufgabe wird durch die im kennzeichnenden Teil des Patentanspruchs 1 angegebenen Massnahmen gelöst. Vorteilhafte Ausgestaltungen der Erfindung sind in weiteren Ansprüchen angegeben.This object is achieved by the measures specified in the characterizing part of patent claim 1. Advantageous embodiments of the invention are specified in further claims.

Die Vorrichtung dient zur Verriegelung von drehbar und/oder seitlich verschiebbar gelagerten Trennelementen, insbesondere Türen, Fenster, Trennwände, Läden und Abdeckungen, die ein Sockelprofil aufweisen, das zur Aufnahme einer Lagervorrichtung dient, mittels der ein Verriegelungselement gehalten ist, das zwischen einer Entriegelungsposition und einer Verriegelungsposition transferierbar ist, in der das Verriegelungselement in einen ortsfest ausserhalb des Sockelprofils angeordneten Aufnehmer eingreift.The device is used for locking of rotatably and / or laterally displaceably mounted separating elements, in particular doors, windows, partitions, shutters and covers, which have a base profile, which serves to receive a bearing device by means of a locking element is held between an unlocking and a locking position is transferable, in which engages the locking element in a stationary outside the base profile arranged transducer.

Erfindungsgemäss dient die Lagervorrichtung derart zur Lagerung eines Hebels, der mit dem Verriegelungselement und einem der Bedienung dienenden Kopfstück versehen ist, dass dieser Hebel drehbar gehalten und wenigstens in einer ersten zur Entriegelungsposition, gegebenenfalls auch in einer zweiten zur Verriegelungsposition korrespondierenden Lage lösbar fixiert werden kann, wobei das Verriegelungselement im Bereich des Kopfstücks auf der dem ersten Trennelement abgewandten Seite des Hebels angeordnet ist.According to the invention, the bearing device serves for mounting a lever, which is provided with the locking element and a head serving the operation, that this lever rotatably supported and at least in a first unlocking position, possibly also in a second position corresponding to the locking position can be releasably fixed, wherein the locking element is arranged in the region of the head piece on the side facing away from the first separating element of the lever.

Das Kopfstück des Hebels tritt nach der Montage der Verriegelungsvorrichtung seitlich aus dem Sockelprofil des Trennelements hervor und kann dadurch entweder manuell oder durch eine im Sockelprofil eines zweiten Trennelements vorgesehene Schliessvorrichtung erfasst und gegebenenfalls betätigt werden.The head of the lever occurs after mounting the locking device laterally from the base profile of the separating element and can be detected either manually or by a provided in the base profile of a second separating element closing device and optionally actuated.

Die Verriegelungsvorrichtung in einer ersten vorzugsweisen Ausgestaltung erlaubt daher die manuelle Betätigung des Verriegelungselements und somit das Arretieren nur des mit der Verriegelungsvorrichtung versehenen Trennelements.The locking device in a first preferred embodiment therefore allows the manual operation of the locking element and thus the locking of only provided with the locking device separating element.

Selbstverständlich kann das Kopfstück des Hebels durch den Anwender nicht nur mittels der Hand sondern auch durch eine Fussbewegung betätigt werden.Of course, the head of the lever can be operated by the user not only by hand but also by a foot movement.

In einer weiteren Ausgestaltung der Erfindung ist ein zweites Trennelement mit einer Schliessvorrichtung versehen, die der Aufnahme des Kopfstücks des Hebels dient. Das erste Trennelement kann daher arretiert werden, wonach das zweite Trennelement gegen das erste Trennelement verschoben wird, bis das Kopfstück des Hebels von der Schliessvorrichtung, vorzugsweise einer daran angeordneten Gabel erfasst und zwischen Platten der Gabel gehalten wird.In a further embodiment of the invention, a second separating element is provided with a closing device which serves to receive the head piece of the lever. The first separating element can therefore be locked, after which the second separating element is displaced against the first separating element, until the head piece of the lever is gripped by the closing device, preferably a fork arranged thereon and held between plates of the fork.

In einer weiteren vorzugsweisen Ausgestaltung weisen die Gabelplatten wenigstens eine rampenförmig verlaufende, oben und unten begrenzte Bahn auf, in die ein mit dem Kopfstück des Hebels verbundenes Führungselement einführbar und während des gegenseitigen Verschiebens der beiden Trennelemente darin derart verschiebbar ist, dass der Hebel von der ersten zur zweiten bzw. von der zweiten zur ersten Lage gedreht und das erste Trennelement dadurch automatisch verriegelt oder entriegelt wird.In a further preferred embodiment, the fork plates have at least one ramp-shaped, up and down limited path, in which a connected to the head piece of the lever guide element inserted and displaceable during the mutual displacement of the two separating elements therein, that the lever of the first rotated to the second or from the second to the first layer and the first partition is thereby automatically locked or unlocked.

Vorzugsweise sind die Gabelplatten mit zwei Führungsbahnen versehen, welche das Zusammenfahren der beiden Trennelemente erlauben, wenn sich der Hebel in der ersten, entriegelten oder der zweiten verriegelten Lage befindet.Preferably, the fork plates are provided with two guideways, which allow the collapse of the two separating elements when the lever is in the first, unlocked or the second locked position.

Durch entsprechende Wahl der Gabelplatten und Führungsbahnen kann zudem vorgesehen werden, dass sich die Verriegelungsvorrichtung beim Wegfahren des zweiten Trennelements, unabhängig von der Lage des Hebels beim Zusammenfahren der Trennelemente, stets öffnet oder stets manuell geöffnet werden muss. Durch Montage der entsprechenden Gabelplatten kann der Anwender die Verriegelungsvorrichtung daher seinen Bedürfnissen anpassen.By appropriate choice of the fork plates and guideways can also be provided that the locking device when driving away the second separating element, regardless of the position of the lever when moving the separating elements, always open or must always be opened manually. By mounting the corresponding fork plates, the user can therefore adapt the locking device to his needs.

Nebst der manuellen Bedienung der Verriegelungsvorrichtung ist daher auch die automatische Bedienung der Verriegelungsvorrichtung möglich.In addition to the manual operation of the locking device, therefore, the automatic operation of the locking device is possible.

Der Hebel und die daran vorgesehenen Führungselemente können sehr robust, gegebenenfalls einstückig, ausgestaltet sein, so dass mit einem weitgehend wartungsfreien Betrieb der Verriegelungsvorrichtung gerechnet werden darf.The lever and the guide elements provided thereon can be very robust, possibly in one piece, configured so that a largely maintenance-free operation of the locking device can be expected.

Der Hebel und/oder die Lagervorrichtung, vorzugsweise der Lagerkörper, und/oder die Schliessvorrichtung, vorzugsweise der Montagekörper, sind in einer weiteren bevorzugten Ausgestaltung der Verriegelungsvorrichtung mit wenigstens einem Dämpfungselement versehen. Dadurch werden Stösse aufgefangen, die beim Zusammenfahren der Trennelemente auftreten können, wodurch entsprechende Geräusche sowie Belastungen der Vorrichtung reduziert werden. Durch die Verwendung elastischer Dämpfungselemente resultiert zudem eine vorteilhafte Flexibilität des Kopfstücks und/oder der Gabel, so dass diese noch einfacher gekoppelt werden können.The lever and / or the bearing device, preferably the bearing body, and / or the closing device, preferably the mounting body, are provided in a further preferred embodiment of the locking device with at least one damping element. As a result, shocks are absorbed, which can occur when moving the separating elements, whereby corresponding noise and loads on the device can be reduced. The use of elastic damping elements also results in an advantageous flexibility of the head piece and / or the fork, so that they can be coupled even easier.

In einer weiteren vorzugsweisen Ausgestaltung sind das Kopfstück des Hebels und die Gabel der Schliessvorrichtung zudem derart ausgestaltet, dass das Kopfstück aus verschiedenen Richtungen in die Gabel einführbar und darin in einer senkrecht zu den Trennelementen verlaufenden Ebene drehbar ist. Die verschiebbaren, mit der Verriegelungsvorrichtung versehenen Trennelemente können daher in gekrümmten Führungsbahnen verschiebbar gelagert sein und mit einander verbunden und verriegelt werden, auch wenn sie nicht in einer Ebene ausgerichtet sind. Das Kopfstück des Hebels kann beispielsweise keil- oder kugelförmig ausgestaltet sein.In a further preferred embodiment, the head piece of the lever and the fork of the closing device are also designed such that the head piece is insertable from different directions into the fork and rotatable therein in a direction perpendicular to the separating elements plane. The displaceable, provided with the locking device separating elements can therefore be slidably mounted in curved guideways and connected to each other and locked, even if they are not aligned in a plane. The head piece of the lever can, for example, be wedge-shaped or spherical.

Die Verriegelungsvorrichtung kann in verschiedenen Ausgestaltungen auf einer beliebigen Seite des Trennelements in einem Sockelprofil angeordnet sein, so dass das Verriegelungselement in einen gegebenenfalls mit einer Hülse versehenen Aufnehmer eingreifen kann, der am Fussboden, an der Decke oder an der Wand eines Raumes vorgesehen ist.The locking device may be arranged in various configurations on any side of the separating element in a base profile, so that the Locking element can engage in an optionally provided with a sleeve transducer, which is provided on the floor, on the ceiling or on the wall of a room.

Die mit der Verriegelungsvorrichtung versehenen Trennelemente werden vorzugsweise in Laufschienen geführt, die mit Rastvorrichtungen versehen sind, welche ein einfaches Positionieren der Trennelemente an Schliesspositionen erlauben, an denen das Verriegelungselement in einen gegebenenfalls mit einer Hülse versehenen oder als Führungsschiene ausgestalteten Aufnehmer eingreifen kann, der am Fussboden, an der Decke oder an der Wand eines Raumes vorgesehen ist.The separating elements provided with the locking device are preferably guided in rails, which are provided with locking devices, which allow easy positioning of the separating elements at closing positions at which the locking element can engage in an optionally provided with a sleeve or designed as a guide rail pick-up on the floor , on the ceiling or on the wall of a room.

Sofern der Aufnehmer als Führungschiene ausgestaltet ist, dient das darin eingesenkte Verriegelungselement zur Längsführung von gegebenenfalls miteinander gekoppelten Trennelementen und verhindert gleichzeitig das Drehen derselben.If the sensor is designed as a guide rail, the locking element is recessed therein for longitudinal guidance of possibly coupled together separating elements and prevents the same time turning them.

Zum Verhindern des unerwünschten Entriegelns der Vorrichtung ist der Hebel der Verriegelungsvorrichtung in der zweiten Lage beispielsweise mittels eines Bolzens arretierbar, der nur von einer Seite des Trennelements zugänglich ist.To prevent the unwanted Entriegelns the device, the lever of the locking device in the second position, for example by means of a bolt can be locked, which is accessible only from one side of the separating element.

Figur 1 zeigt eine in ein Sockelprofil 4 eines ersten Trennelements 8a eingebaute erfindungsgemässe Verriegelungsvorrichtung 100, die einen mittels einer Lagervorrichtung 2 drehbar gelagerten, mit einem Kopfstück 15 und einem Verriegelungselement 14 versehenen Hebel 1 aufweist. Das Kopfstück 15 des Hebels 1 ragt seitlich aus dem im Schnitt dargestellten Sockelprofil 4 hervor und kann daher manuell mit der Hand, aber auch bequem mit dem Fuss erfasst und betätigt werden. FIG. 1 shows a built-in a base profile 4 of a first separating element 8a inventive locking device 100, which has a rotatably mounted by means of a bearing device 2, provided with a head piece 15 and a locking element 14 lever 1. The head piece 15 of the lever 1 protrudes laterally from the base profile 4 shown in section and can therefore be used manually the hand, but also comfortably with the foot can be detected and operated.

In der gezeigten Lage des Trennelements 8a, kann der mittels einer Welle 11 mit der Lagervorrichtung 2 verbundene Hebel 1 nach unten gedreht werden, so dass das an der Unterseite des Hebels 1 angeordnete Verriegelungselement 14 in einen Aufnehmer 91 eingeführt wird, der durch eine im Fussboden 9 eingelassene Hülse 92 gebildet wird.In the shown position of the separating element 8a, the lever 1 connected to the bearing device 2 by means of a shaft 11 can be turned downwards, so that the locking element 14 arranged on the underside of the lever 1 is introduced into a receptacle 91 which extends through one in the floor 9 recessed sleeve 92 is formed.

Das mit einer Glasscheibe 6 oder anderen geeigneten Materialien versehene Trennelement 8a ist beispielsweise eine entlang einer Laufschiene verschiebbar und gegebenenfalls auch drehbar gelagerte Schiebetür. Die Laufschiene ist im Bereich der Aufnehmer 91 vorzugsweise derart mit Rastvorrichtungen versehen, dass das Trennelement 8a an den vorgesehenen Schliesspositionen einfach positioniert werden kann. Die Art der Lagerung und Positionierung von Trennelementen ist dem Fachmann bekannt (siehe z.B. WO 00/55460 ).The separating element 8a provided with a glass pane 6 or other suitable materials is, for example, a sliding door which is displaceable along a running rail and optionally also rotatably mounted. The running rail is preferably provided in the region of the receptacle 91 with locking devices such that the separating element 8a can be easily positioned at the intended closing positions. The type of storage and positioning of separating elements is known in the art (see, for example WO 00/55460 ).

Figur 2 zeigt Teile der Verriegelungsvorrichtung 100 von Figur 1 mit im Schnitt dargestelltem Hebel 1 lösbar fixiert in entriegelter erster Lage. Die Lagervorrichtung 2 weist einen in das Sockelprofil 4 einführbaren und dessen Innenabmessungen angepassten Lagerkörper 21 auf, der mittels wenigstens einer durch eine Gewindebohrung 29 im Lagerkörper 21 führbare Montageschraube fixierbar ist. Der Lagerkörper 21 ist daher mit einfachen Massnahmen in das Sockelprofil 4 einführbar und mittels der Montageschraube an geeigneter Position arretierbar. Der Lagerkörper 21 ist ferner mit gegen den Hebel 1 gerichteten Seitenplatten 26, 27 versehen, zwischen denen eine der Aufnahme des Endstücks 16 des Hebels 1 dienende Ausnehmung 22 vorgesehen ist. Die Seitenplatten 26, 27 sind, ebenso wie der Hebel 1, mit Bohrungen 25 versehen, durch die die Welle 11 geführt ist, so dass der Hebel 1 und der im Sockelprofil 4 montierte Lagerkörper 21 in einer parallel zum Trennelement 8a verlaufenden Ebene gegeneinander drehbar sind. FIG. 2 shows parts of the locking device 100 of FIG. 1 with lever 1 shown in section detachably fixed in unlocked first position. The bearing device 2 has an insertable into the base profile 4 and its inner dimensions adapted bearing body 21 which is fixable by means of at least one feasible by a threaded bore 29 in the bearing body 21 mounting screw. The bearing body 21 is therefore insertable with simple measures in the base profile 4 and can be locked by means of the mounting screw at a suitable position. The bearing body 21 is further provided with against the lever 1 directed side plates 26, 27, between which a receiving the end piece 16 of the lever 1 serving recess 22 is provided. The side plates 26, 27 are, as well as the lever 1, provided with holes 25 through which the shaft 11 is guided, so that the lever 1 and mounted in the base profile 4 bearing body 21 are rotatable in a direction parallel to the separating element 8a plane against each other ,

Zur lösbaren Fixierung des Hebels 1 in der ersten, entriegelten Lage sowie vorzugsweise einer in Figur 2 gezeigten zweiten, verriegelten Lage sind in Bohrungen 23, 24 des Lagerkörpers 21 elastische Elemente 7 vorgesehen, welche in den entsprechenden Positionen des Hebels 1 in Vertiefungen 12 im Endstück 16 des Hebels 1 eingedrückt werden. In der in Figur 2 und Figur 3 gezeigten Ausgestaltung bestehen die elastischen Elemente 7 aus Kugeln 71, 72, die mittels Federelementen 73, 74 gegen den Hebel 1 gedrückt werden.For releasably fixing the lever 1 in the first, unlocked position and preferably one in FIG. 2 shown second, locked position are provided in holes 23, 24 of the bearing body 21 elastic elements 7, which are pressed in the corresponding positions of the lever 1 in recesses 12 in the end piece 16 of the lever 1. In the in FIG. 2 and FIG. 3 As shown, the elastic elements 7 consist of balls 71, 72 which are pressed against the lever 1 by means of spring elements 73, 74.

Figur 3 und Figur 4 zeigen den Hebel 1, mittels der elastischen Elementen 7 fixiert, in der zweiten Lage, in der die Vorrichtung 100 verriegelt ist. FIG. 3 and FIG. 4 show the lever 1, fixed by means of the elastic elements 7, in the second position in which the device 100 is locked.

In Figur 4 ist ferner gezeigt, dass das der Bedienung des Hebels 1 dienende Kopfstück 15, das seitlich aus dem Sockelprofil 4 des ersten Trennelements 8a hervortritt, in das Sockelprofil 4 eines zweiten Trennelements 8b einführbar ist. Das Kopfstück 15 ist dabei vorzugsweise an das zweite Trennelement 8b angepasst, so dass es leicht in das Sockelprofil 4 einführbar ist und dieses nahezu spielfrei hält, sobald das zweite Trennelement 8b vollständig gegen das erste Trennelement 8a verschoben wird. Nach der Verriegelung des ersten Trennelements 8a kann daher das zweite Trennelement 8b gegen das erste Trennelement 8a verschoben werden, so dass auch dieses drehfest gehalten ist.In FIG. 4 is further shown that the operation of the lever 1 serving headpiece 15, which emerges laterally from the base profile 4 of the first separating element 8a, in the base profile 4 of a second separating element 8b is inserted. The head piece 15 is preferably adapted to the second separating element 8b, so that it is easy to insert into the base profile 4 and this holds almost no play, as soon as the second separating element 8b is completely displaced against the first separating element 8a. After the locking of the first separating element 8a, therefore, the second separating element 8b can be displaced against the first separating element 8a, so that this is also held against rotation.

In Figur 5 ist gezeigt, dass das der Bedienung des Hebels 1 dienende Kopfstück 15 in eine Schliessvorrichtung 3 eingeführt ist, die im Sockelprofil 4 des zweiten Trennelements 8b angeordnet ist. Die vorzugsweise einsetzbare Schliessvorrichtung 3 erlaubt ein verbessertes, gegebenenfalls flexibleres Halten des Kopfstücks 15, wie nachstehend erläutert wird.In FIG. 5 is shown that the operation of the lever 1 serving head 15 is inserted into a closing device 3, which is arranged in the base profile 4 of the second separating element 8b. The preferably usable closing device 3 allows an improved, optionally more flexible holding the head piece 15, as will be explained below.

Die Schliessvorrichtung 3 weist einen Montagekörper 31 auf, der, wie der Lagerkörper 21, in das Sockelprofil 4 einführbar und mittels wenigstens einer Montageschraube darin arretierbar ist, die durch eine im Montagekörper 31 vorgesehene Gewindebohrung 33 durchführbar ist. Die Montageschrauben sind frontseitig beispielsweise mit einer Ringschneide versehen, welche formschlüssig in das Sockelprofil 4 eingedreht wird, so dass der Lagerkörper 21 und der Montagekörper 31 arretiert und unverschiebbar gehalten werden. Ferner können der Lagerkörper 21 und der Montagekörper 31 an deren Unterseite mit Kanten versehen sein, welche beim Festziehen der Montageschrauben in das Sockelprofil 4 eindringen. Frontseitig, gegen den Hebel 1 gerichtet, ist der Montagekörper 31 mit einer Gabel 32 versehen, mittels der das Kopfstück 15 des Hebels 1 teilweise umfasst und gehalten wird.The closing device 3 has a mounting body 31 which, like the bearing body 21, can be inserted into the base profile 4 and locked therein by means of at least one mounting screw is, which can be performed by a provided in the mounting body 31 threaded bore 33. The mounting screws are provided at the front, for example, with a circular cutting edge, which is positively screwed into the base profile 4, so that the bearing body 21 and the mounting body 31 are locked and held immovably. Furthermore, the bearing body 21 and the mounting body 31 may be provided on the underside with edges which penetrate into the base profile 4 when tightening the mounting screws. The front side, directed against the lever 1, the mounting body 31 is provided with a fork 32, by means of which the head piece 15 of the lever 1 is partially enclosed and held.

In Figur 5 ist ferner gezeigt, dass über der Gabel 32 eine Ausnehmung innerhalb des Sockelprofils 4 freigehalten ist, in die eine breiteres oberes Teil 151 des Kopfstücks 15 einführbar ist.In FIG. 5 it is further shown that over the fork 32, a recess is kept within the base profile 4, in which a wider upper part 151 of the head piece 15 can be inserted.

Figur 6 zeigt frontseitig das erste Trennelement 8a mit dem Sockelprofil 4, das H-förmig ausgestaltet und daher mit einem oberen Kanal 41 zur Aufnahme beispielsweise einer Glasscheibe 6 und mit einem unteren Kanal 42 zur Aufnahme des Lagerkörpers 21 oder des Montagekörpers 31 versehen ist. FIG. 6 shows the front side, the first partition 8a with the base profile 4, which is H-shaped and therefore provided with an upper channel 41 for receiving, for example, a glass 6 and a lower channel 42 for receiving the bearing body 21 or the mounting body 31.

Figur 7 zeigt das Trennelement 8a mit dem in das Sockelprofil 4 eingeführten Lagerkörper 21 sowie dem in der ersten, entriegelten Lage fixierten Hebel 1. In dieser Lage ist das auf der Höhe des ersten Kanals 41 befindliche Kopfstück 15 des Hebels 1 nicht in die Schliessvorrichtung 3 einführbar. Sofern das Einführen des Kopfstücks 15 in die Schliessvorrichtung 3 unabhängig von der Lage des Hebels 1 möglich sein soll, so ist das Kopfstück 15 nach unten zu versetzen und die zu dessen Aufnahme vorgesehene Gabel 32 entsprechend anzupassen. FIG. 7 shows the separating element 8a with the inserted into the base profile 4 bearing body 21 and the fixed in the first, unlocked position lever 1. In this position, located at the height of the first channel 41 head 15 of the lever 1 is not inserted into the closing device 3. If the insertion of the head piece 15 in the closing device 3 is to be possible regardless of the position of the lever 1, the head piece 15 is to move down and adjust the provided for receiving fork 32 accordingly.

Figur 8 zeigt das Trennelement 8a mit dem in das Sockelprofil 4 eingeführten Lagerkörper 21 sowie dem Hebel 1 in der in Figur 3 gezeigten Lage, in der das Verriegelungselement 14 in den im Fussboden 9 angeordneten und mit einer Hülse 92 versehenen Aufnehmer 91 eingreift. FIG. 8 shows the separating element 8a with the inserted into the base profile 4 bearing body 21 and the lever 1 in the in FIG. 3 shown position in which the locking element 14 in arranged in the floor 9 and provided with a sleeve 92 sensor 91 engages.

Sofern das Trennelement 8a nur bezüglich des Öffnens durch Drehen verriegelt werden soll, kann der Aufnehmer 91 auch durch eine Führungsnut 93 gebildet werden, entlang der das Trennelement 8a verschiebbar gelagert ist. Das Verriegelungselement 14 kann in diesem Fall auch der unteren Führung des Trennelements 8a dienen, das nach Anheben des Hebels 1 gedreht werden kann.If the separating element 8a is to be locked by rotation only with respect to the opening, the receptacle 91 can also be formed by a guide groove 93, along which the separating element 8a is displaceably mounted. The locking member 14 may serve in this case, the lower guide of the separating element 8 a, which can be rotated after lifting the lever 1.

Wie in den Figuren 9, 10 und 11 gezeigt, werden das Kopfstück 15 und die Gabel 32 vorzugsweise derart ausgestaltet, dass sie in einer senkrecht zu den Trennelementen 8a, 8b verlaufenden Ebene gegeneinander drehbar sind. Das zweite Trennelement 8b kann daher auch dann gegen das erste Trennelement 8b geführt und mit diesem verriegelt werden, wenn es nicht in einer Ebene mit diesem ausgerichtet ist.As in the FIGS. 9, 10 and 11 As shown, the head 15 and the fork 32 are preferably configured such that they are rotatable relative to each other in a plane perpendicular to the dividing elements 8a, 8b. The second separating element 8b can therefore also be guided against the first separating element 8b and locked with it, even if it is not aligned in a plane therewith.

Figur 9 zeigt, von unten gesehen, die beiden schräg zueinander stehenden Trennelemente 8a, 8b mit den mittels Montageschrauben 28, 38 in den entsprechenden Sockelprofilen 4 arretierten Lager- und Montagekörpern 21, 31. Die beiden Trennelemente 8a, 8b sind durch das in die Gabel 32 verschobene Kopfstück 15 miteinander drehfest gekoppelt. FIG. 9 shows, seen from below, the two obliquely standing separating elements 8a, 8b with the means of mounting screws 28, 38 locked in the corresponding base profiles 4 bearing and mounting bodies 21, 31. The two separating elements 8a, 8b are shifted by the fork 32 in the Headpiece 15 rotatably coupled with each other.

Figur 10 zeigt den Hebel 1 und die Schliessvorrichtung 3, versehen mit weiteren elastischen Elementen, insbesondere Dämpfungselementen 18, 34, mittels denen beim Zusammenfahren und Koppeln dieser Vorrichtungsteile entstehende Stösse gedämpft werden. FIG. 10 shows the lever 1 and the closing device 3, provided with further elastic elements, in particular damping elements 18, 34, by means of which are dampened when moving together and coupling these parts of the device resulting shocks.

Bei der Verwendung der weiteren elastischen Elemente, gegebenenfalls Dämpfungselementen 18, 34, im Hebel 1, der Lagervorrichtung 2 oder dem Lagerblock 3 resultiert eine Flexibilität des Kopfstücks 15 und der Gabel 32, so dass der Kopplungsvorgang jeweils schonend und mit reduzierten Geräuschemissionen vollzogen werden kann, wodurch Aufwendungen für die Wartung weiter reduziert werden. Dies ist auch dann besonders vorteilhaft, wenn miteinander gekoppelte Trennelemente 8a, 8b verschoben und mittels einer im Fussboden 9 eingelassenen Führungsschiene 93 geführt werden, die als Aufnehmer 91 für das in diesem Fall der Längsführung und seitlichen Verriegelung vorgesehene Verriegelungselement 14 dient. Derart gekoppelte und geführte Trennelemente 8a, 8b können daher problemlos entlang gekrümmter Bahnen verschoben werden.When using the other elastic elements, optionally damping elements 18, 34, in the lever 1, the bearing device 2 or the bearing block 3 results in a flexibility of the head piece 15 and the fork 32, so that the coupling process can be performed each gently and with reduced noise emissions, causing expenses be further reduced for maintenance. This is also particularly advantageous when mutually coupled separating elements 8a, 8b are displaced and guided by means of a guide rail 93 recessed in the floor 9, which serves as a receiver 91 for the locking element 14 provided in this case for the longitudinal guide and lateral locking. Thus coupled and guided separating elements 8a, 8b can therefore be easily moved along curved paths.

In Figur 10 ist ferner gezeigt, dass die Gabel 32 mittels zwei mit dem Montagekörper 31 verbundenen Gabelplatten 321, 322 gebildet wird, zwischen die das Kopfstück 15 einführbar ist.In FIG. 10 it is further shown that the fork 32 is formed by means of two connected to the mounting body 31 fork plates 321, 322, between which the head piece 15 is inserted.

Figur 11 zeigt schematisch das als Gabel 32 ausgebildete Frontstück 32 der Schliessvorrichtung 3, welches das entsprechend ausgestaltete Kopfstück 15 aus zwei verschiedenen Richtungen erfassen kann. Das Kopfstück 15 weist dazu die Form eines Keils oder eines Parallelogramms auf, so dass es aus verschiedenen Richtungen in die Gabel 32 einführbar ist. Das Kopfstück 15 kann beispielsweise auch die Form eines senkrecht stehenden Zylinders oder einer Kugel aufweisen. FIG. 11 schematically shows the fork 32 formed as a front piece 32 of the closing device 3, which can detect the appropriately designed head 15 from two different directions. The head piece 15 has the shape of a wedge or a parallelogram, so that it can be inserted from different directions in the fork 32. The head piece 15 may for example also have the shape of a vertical cylinder or a ball.

In der in Figur 11 gezeigten vorzugsweisen Ausgestaltung ist das Kopfstück 15 zudem mit Führungselementen 19 versehen, mittels denen, wie in Figur 12 und 13 dargestellt, eine automatische Verriegelung der Vorrichtung 100 möglich ist.In the in FIG. 11 shown preferred embodiment, the head piece 15 is also provided with guide elements 19, by means of which, as in FIGS. 12 and 13 shown, an automatic locking of the device 100 is possible.

Figur 12 und Figur 13 zeigen die Schliessvorrichtung 3 in einer weiteren vorzugsweisen Ausgestaltung mit einer Gabel 32, deren Gabelplatten 321, 322 mit beidseitig begrenzten Führungsbahnen 320 versehen sind, die der Aufnahme und Führung der beidseitig am Kopfstück 15 des Hebels 1 vorgesehenen Führungselemente 19 dient. Das Kopfstück 15 des Hebels 1 ist tiefer gesetzt, so dass es sich in beiden Lagen des Hebels 1 jeweils auf der Höhe des unteren Kanals 42 des Sockelprofils liegt. FIG. 12 and FIG. 13 show the closing device 3 in a further preferred embodiment with a fork 32, the fork plates 321, 322 are provided with double-sided limited guideways 320, which serves to receive and guide the provided on both sides of the head piece 15 of the lever 1 guide elements 19. The head 15 of the lever 1 is set lower, so that it lies in both positions of the lever 1 at the level of the lower channel 42 of the base profile.

Figur 12 zeigt den Hebel 1 in der ersten, entriegelten Lage, in der er entweder manuell oder, wie nachstehend beschrieben, mittels der Schliessvorrichtung 3 in die zweite Lage gedreht wird, in der die Vorrichtung 100 verriegelt ist. In der ersten Lage ist das Kopfstück 15 derart ausgerichtet, dass dessen Führungselemente 19 auf der Höhe der Eintrittsöffnungen 324 der Führungsbahnen 320 liegen und beim Zusammenschieben der beiden Trennelemente 8a, 8b in diese eingeführt und entlang den Führungsbahnen 320 verschoben werden, wodurch der Hebel 1 in die zweite Lage gedreht wird. FIG. 12 shows the lever 1 in the first, unlocked position in which it is rotated either manually or, as described below, by means of the closing device 3 in the second position in which the device 100 is locked. In the first position, the head piece 15 is aligned such that its guide elements 19 are at the height of the inlet openings 324 of the guideways 320 and 8a, 8b pushed into the latter during the pushing together of the two separating elements and moved along the guideways 320, whereby the lever 1 in the second layer is turned.

Figur 13 zeigt den Hebel 1 in verriegelter, zweiter Lage. Durch Auseinanderschieben der Trennelemente 8a, 8b werden die Führungselemente 19 entlang den Führungsbahnen 320 wieder nach oben verschoben, wodurch die Vorrichtung 100 entriegelt wird. FIG. 13 shows the lever 1 in locked, second position. By sliding the separating elements 8a, 8b apart, the guide elements 19 are displaced upward again along the guide tracks 320, whereby the device 100 is unlocked.

Durch das Arretieren des Hebels 1 in der zweiten Lage kann daher verhindert werden, dass die Vorrichtung 100 entriegelt wird. Beide Trennelemente 8a, 8b bleiben daher drehfest und unverschiebbar gehalten. Das Arretieren des Hebels 1 erfolgt beispielsweise, wie in Figur 13 gezeigt, mittels eines Bolzens 5, der oberhalb einer Rippe 17 des in der zweiten Lage befindlichen Hebels 1 gegen diesen geführt wird.By locking the lever 1 in the second position can therefore be prevented that the device 100 is unlocked. Both separating elements 8a, 8b therefore remain rotatably and immovably held. The locking of the lever 1 takes place, for example, as in FIG. 13 shown by means of a bolt 5, which is guided above a rib 17 of the lever located in the second position 1 against this.

In einer vorzugsweisen Ausgestaltung ist unterhalb der Rippe 17 eine Rampe 171 vorgesehen, wodurch der von einer Feder gestützte Bolzen 5 beim Absenken des Hebels 1 automatisch in die Arretierlage gebracht wird. Durch das Zurückziehen des Bolzens 5 wird der Hebel 1 wieder freigegeben. Zum Verhindern des automatischen Arretierens des Hebels 1 kann der Bolzen 5 vorzugsweise seinerseits in zurückgezogener Lage arretiert werden, was mit einfachen Massnahmen möglich ist. Beispielsweise ist ein Schlitz 44 im Sockelprofil vorgesehen, durch den ein mit dem Bolzen 5 verbundenes Querstück gezogen und anschliessend gedreht und somit fixiert werden kann.In a preferred embodiment, a ramp 171 is provided below the rib 17, whereby the supported by a spring pin 5 is automatically brought into the locking position when lowering the lever 1. By retracting the bolt 5, the lever 1 is released again. To prevent the automatic locking of the lever 1, the bolt 5 can preferably be locked in turn in a retracted position, which is possible with simple measures. For example, a slot 44 is provided in the base profile, pulled by a connected to the bolt 5 crosspiece and then rotated and thus can be fixed.

Das Kopfstück 15 ist wiederum derart ausgestaltet, dass es aus verschiedenen Richtungen in die Gabel 32 eingeführt werden kann.The head 15 is in turn designed such that it can be inserted from different directions in the fork 32.

Figur 14 zeigt die Schliessvorrichtung 3 mit dem Montagekörper 31, an dem zwei Gabelplatten 321, 322 beispielsweise mittels Schrauben montierbar sind, die durch Bohrungen 39, 325 im Montagekörper 31 und den Gabelplatten 321, 322 geführt werden. Die Gabelplatten 321, 322 sind mit an der Aussenseite geschlossenen Führungsbahnen 320A, 320B versehen, welche ein Einführen des Kopfstücks 15 des Hebels 1 in erster und in zweiter Lage erlaubt. Das unverriegelte erste Trennelement 8a kann in dieser Ausgestaltung daher, wie oben beschrieben, durch Einführen des Führungselements 19 in die obere Führungsbahn 320A verriegelt werden. Ferner kann das erste Trennelement 8a verriegelt sein, wonach das Führungselement 19 beim Anfahren des zweiten Trennelements 8b in die untere Führungsbahn 320B eingeführt wird. FIG. 14 shows the closing device 3 with the mounting body 31 to which two fork plates 321, 322 are mounted, for example by means of screws which are guided through holes 39, 325 in the mounting body 31 and the fork plates 321, 322. The fork plates 321, 322 are provided with guide tracks 320A, 320B closed on the outside, which allow insertion of the head piece 15 of the lever 1 in the first and in the second position. The unlocked first partition member 8a in this embodiment, therefore, as described above, can be locked by inserting the guide member 19 into the upper guide track 320A. Furthermore, the first separating element 8a can be locked, after which the guide element 19 is introduced into the lower guide track 320B when the second separating element 8b starts up.

Durch entsprechende Ausgestaltung der beiden Führungsbahnen 320A, 320B kann bewirkt werden, dass das Führungselement 19 immer von der Führungsbahn 320B in die Führungsbahn 320A überführt wird bzw. nach Einführen in die Führungsbahn 320A darin verbleibt. Ferner kann bewirkt werden, dass das Führungselement 19 immer von der Führungsbahn 320A in die Führungsbahn 320B überführt wird bzw. nach Einführen in die Führungsbahn 320B darin verbleibt.By appropriate configuration of the two guideways 320A, 320B, the guide element 19 can always be brought from the guideway 320B into the guideway 320A or, after insertion into the guideway 320A, remain therein. Furthermore, the guide element 19 can always be caused to transfer from the guide track 320A into the guide track 320B or to remain therein after being inserted into the guide track 320B.

Figur 14 zeigt, dass die untere Führungsbahn 320B, den Hebel 1 elastisch nach unten führt, wonach das Führungselement 19 beim Erreichen der oberen Führungsbahn 320A hochspringen kann und von dieser weiter geführt wird. In Figur 15 wird das Führungselement 19 mittels der Führungsbahn 320A nach unten in die Führungsbahn 320B geführt, in der es verbleibt. FIG. 14 shows that the lower guideway 320B, the lever 1 elastically leads down, after which the guide member 19 can jump on reaching the upper guideway 320A and is continued by this. In FIG. 15 the guide member 19 is guided by means of the guide track 320A down into the guide track 320B, in which it remains.

Mit der Ausgestaltung der Führungsbahnen 320A, 320B von Figur 14 wird das erste Trennelement 8a beim Wegfahren des zweiten Trennelements 8b daher stets automatisch entriegelt. Mit der Ausgestaltung der Führungsbahnen 320A, 320B von Figur 15 wird das erste Trennelement 8a beim Wegfahren des zweiten Trennelements 8b nicht automatisch, sondern muss manuell entriegelt werden.With the configuration of the guideways 320A, 320B of FIG. 14 Therefore, the first separating element 8a is always automatically unlocked when driving away the second separating element 8b. With the Design of the guideways 320A, 320B of FIG. 15 If the first separating element 8a does not move automatically when the second separating element 8b is driven away, it must be unlocked manually.

Figur 16 und Figur 17 zeigen die Schliessvorrichtung 3 mit den montierten Gabelplatten 321, 322, von oben und von vorn gesehen. FIG. 16 and FIG. 17 show the closing device 3 with the assembled fork plates 321, 322, seen from above and from the front.

Die erfindungsgemässe Verriegelungsvorrichtung 1 wurde in bevorzugten Ausgestaltungen beschrieben und dargestellt. Anhand der erfindungsgemässen Lehre sind jedoch weitere fachmännische Ausgestaltungen realisierbar. Insbesondere sind verschiedene Ausgestaltungen und Abmessungen der Vorrichtungsteile, insbesondere des Hebels 1 und der Gabel 32 sowie der elastischen Elemente 7 bzw. der Dämpfungselemente 18, 34 wählbar. Weiterhin sind verschiedene Fertigungsmaterialien, Kunststoffe und Metalle zu deren Herstellung verwendbar.The inventive locking device 1 has been described and illustrated in preferred embodiments. On the basis of the teaching according to the invention, however, further expert designs can be realized. In particular, various configurations and dimensions of the device parts, in particular the lever 1 and the fork 32 and the elastic elements 7 and the damping elements 18, 34 are selectable. Furthermore, various materials of manufacture, plastics and metals can be used for their production.
