Description

Die vorliegende Erfindung betrifft eine Dichtungsanordnung für Türen, Tore oder Fenster mit einer in einem Türblatt oder einem Fensterblatt anbringbaren, ein- und ausschaltbaren Dichtung, wobei die Dichtung im eingeschalteten Zustand bei geschlossener Tür oder geschlossenem Fenster das Türblatt oder das Fensterblatt gegenüber einem Fußboden, einem Rahmen, einer Decke oder einer Wand abdichtet, und mit einem steuerbaren Aktuator, mit welchem die Dichtung ein- bzw. ausschaltbar ist.The present invention relates to a sealing arrangement for doors, gates or windows with an attachable in a door leaf or a window leaf, on and off seal, wherein the seal in the on state with the door closed or window closed, the door leaf or the window leaf against a floor, a Frame, a ceiling or a wall seals, and with a controllable actuator with which the seal is switched on or off.

Aus der Druckschrift mit der Veröffentlichungsnummer DE 31 24 106 A1 ist eine Dichtungsanordnung bekanntdie einen Drehknopf aufweist, der über einen Seilzug mit der Dichtung verbunden ist. Mittels dieses Drehknopfes kann auf die Dichtung eine Kraft übertragen werden, die ein Absenken einer Dichtleiste der Dichtung im geschlossenen Zustand der Tür verhindert. In einem solchen Fall wäre ein Zwischenraum zwischen der unteren Stirnseite der Tür, in welcher die Dichtung eingelassen ist, und dem Fußboden nicht abgedichtet. Der Zwischenraum, den man als Bodenluft bezeichnet, wäre dann frei für das Durchtreten von Schall, Luft und Rauch. Durch eine andere Stellung des Drehknopfes, unterbleibt eine Krafteinwirkung über den Seilzug auf die Dichtung. Die Dichtung ist dann im eingeschalteten Zustand und kann wie eine herkömmliche Dichtung mit einer selbsttätig absenkbaren Dichtleiste arbeiten.From the publication with the publication number DE 31 24 106 A1 For example, a seal assembly is known which comprises a knob which is connected to the seal via a cable pull. By means of this knob, a force can be transmitted to the seal, which prevents a lowering of a sealing strip of the seal in the closed state of the door. In such a case, a gap between the lower end face of the door, in which the seal is embedded, and the floor would not be sealed. The intermediate space, which is called ground air, would then be free for the passage of sound, air and smoke. By a different position of the knob, a force on the cable is omitted on the seal. The seal is then in the on state and can work like a conventional seal with an automatically lowerable sealing strip.

Ein Merkmal solcher Dichtungsanordnungen ist also, dass je nach Stellung des Drehknopfes die Dichtung ein- oder ausgeschaltet werden kann. Im eingeschalteten Zustand arbeitet die Dichtung wie eine herkömmliche Dichtung mit selbsttätig absenkbarer Dichtleiste. Im ausgeschalteten Zustand der Dichtung bleibt die Dichtleiste stets im angehobenen Zustand, auch wenn die Tür geschlossen ist.A feature of such seal assemblies is therefore that depending on the position of the knob, the seal can be switched on or off. When switched on, the seal works like a conventional seal with automatically lowerable sealing strip. When the seal is switched off, the sealing strip always remains in the raised state, even when the door is closed.

Der Vorteil einer solchen ein- und ausschaltbaren Dichtung ist, dass je nach Wunsch des Benutzers die Tür abgedichtet sein kann oder aber ein Luftzug zu dem vor der Tür liegenden Raum möglich ist. Auch ein Schalleintrag wird bei ausgeschalteter Dichtung erleichtert. Auch dieses kann unter Umständen erwünscht sein.The advantage of such a switchable on and off gasket is that depending on the user's desire, the door may be sealed or a draft to the front of the door room is possible. A sound entry is facilitated when the seal is turned off. Again, this may be desirable.

So ist es beispielsweise denkbar, dass in Krankenhäusern oder Pflegeheimen die einzelnen Zimmer der Bewohner tagsüber sowohl im Hinblick auf eine bessere Durchlüftung des Gebäudes als auch im Hinblick auf eine bessere Anbindung der Bewohner der einzelnen Zimmer an das Leben in den Abteilungen eine ausgeschaltete Dichtung erwünscht ist. Nachts dagegen soll ein unnötiger Zug und ein unnötiger Schalleintrag von den Gängen in die Zimmer der Bewohner vermieden werden. Dann ist es günstig, wenn die Dichtung eingeschaltet ist.So it is conceivable, for example, that in hospitals or nursing homes, the individual rooms of the residents during the day, both in terms of better ventilation of the building as well as in terms of a better connection of the inhabitants of the individual rooms to life in the departments a switched off seal is desired , At night, however, an unnecessary train and an unnecessary sound from the hallways in the rooms of the residents should be avoided. Then it is convenient if the seal is turned on.

Der Nachteil des aus der Druckschrift mit der Veröffentlichungsnummer DE 31 24 106 A1 bekannten Türdichtung ist jedoch, dass diese den Anforderungen bei Brandschutztüren nicht genügt. So kann nicht gewährleistet werden, dass die Dichtung im Brandfall eingeschaltet ist, um Raucheintrag vom Flur in die Zimmer oder umgekehrt zu verhindern. Ebenso sind die Türen nicht in Konzepte zur kontrollierten Be- und Entlüftung integrierbar, da für die Anlage zur kontrollierten Be- und Entlüftung nicht erkennbar ist, welche Luftwege im Gebäude möglich beziehungsweise abgeschnitten sind. Auch sind derartige ein- und ausschaltbare Dichtungen bei automatisch verschiebbaren Trennwänden mit Dichtungen nicht vorteilhaft, da vor dem Verschieben der Trennwandelemente die Türdichtungen manuell ausgeschaltet werden müssen, damit verhindert ist, dass die Dichtungen über den Boden schleifen.The disadvantage of the publication with the publication number DE 31 24 106 A1 However, known door seal is that this does not meet the requirements for fire doors. Thus, it can not be guaranteed that the seal is turned on in case of fire to prevent smoke from entering the room or vice versa. Likewise, the doors can not be integrated into concepts for controlled ventilation, as the system for controlled ventilation does not identify which airways in the building are possible or cut off. Also, such switchable on and off seals with automatically movable partitions with seals are not advantageous because before moving the partition wall elements, the door seals must be manually turned off, thus preventing the seals grind over the floor.

Aus dem Dokument DE 297 20 978 U1 ist eine Dichtung mit den eingangs genannten Merkmalen des Oberbegriffs des Anspruchs 1 bekannt. Bei dieser bekannten Dichtungsanordnung ist der Aktuator im Türblatt vorgesehen, mit dem die Dichtung eingeschaltet und ausgeschaltet werden kann. Das Ein- und Ausschalten kann zum Beispiel mittels eines Sensors erfolgen, der in dem Türblatt angebracht ist. Die Zielrichtung der in der Druckschrift DE 297 20 978 U1 offenbarten Dichtungsanordnung ist es allerdings nicht die Nachteile des vorgenannnten, aus der Druckschrift DE 31 24 106 A1 bekannten Standes der Technik zu beheben. Zielrichtung der Dichtungsanordnung war es vielmehr eine Feststellvorrichtung für eine Tür vorzuschlagen.From the document DE 297 20 978 U1 a seal with the features mentioned in the preamble of claim 1 is known. In this known seal arrangement, the actuator is provided in the door leaf, with which the seal can be turned on and off. The switching on and off can be done for example by means of a sensor which is mounted in the door leaf. The direction of the in the publication DE 297 20 978 U1 However, disclosed seal assembly, it is not the disadvantages of vorgenannnten, from the document DE 31 24 106 A1 known prior art to fix. Objective of the seal assembly, it was rather to propose a locking device for a door.

Die aus der Druckschrift DE 297 20 978 U1 bekannte Dichtungsanordnung erfordert eine besondere Dichtung. Eine beliebige Dichtung mit einem seitlich aus einem Gehäuse der Dichtung herausragenden Auslöser, der beim Schließen der Tür an einem Türrahmen anschlägt kann nicht verwendet werden. Das ist allerdings ein Nachteil, da die für die Dichtungsanordnung gemäß der Druckschrift DE 297 20 978 U1 benötigte Dichtung besonders hergestellt, gelagert und vertrieben werden müssen. Einfacher wäre es dagegen, wenn im Grunde jede handelsübliche Dichtung mit einem seitlich aus einem Gehäuse der Dichtung herausragenden Auslöser verwendet werden könnte.The from the publication DE 297 20 978 U1 known seal assembly requires a special seal. Any seal with a trigger protruding laterally from a housing of the seal, which strikes against a door frame when closing the door can not be used. However, this is a disadvantage, since the for the seal assembly according to the document DE 297 20 978 U1 required seal must be specially manufactured, stored and distributed. On the other hand, it would be simpler if basically any commercial seal could be used with a trigger projecting laterally out of a housing of the seal.

Hier setzt die vorliegende Erfindung an.This is where the present invention begins.

Der vorliegenden Erfindung liegt das Problem zugrunde, eine Dichtungsanordnung mit einer ein- und ausschaltbaren Dichtung so weiter zu bilden, dass diese in Brandschutzkonzepte, in Konzepte zur kontrollierten Be- und Entlüftung und in automatisch verschiebbare Trennwände besser oder einfacher integrierbar ist und als Dichtung eine im Grunde beliebige Dichtung mit einem seitlich aus einem Gehäuse der Dichtung herausragenden Auslöser verwendet werden kann.The present invention is based on the problem of further developing a seal arrangement with a seal that can be switched on and off so that it can be integrated better or more easily in fire protection concepts, in concepts for controlled ventilation and in automatically movable partitions, and as a seal a basically any seal with a laterally protruding from a housing of the seal trigger can be used.

Diese Aufgabe wird erfindungsgemäß dadurch gelöst, dass die erfindungsgemäße Dichtungsanordnung geeignet und eingerichtet ist, dass der Aktuator in dem Rahmen der Tür oder des Fensters, im Fußboden oder in der Wand oder dergleichen angeordnet ist. Die Dichtung umfasst ferner zumindest einen Auslöser, der im eingeschalteten Zustand der Dichtung bei montierter Dichtung ein Absenken einer Dichtleiste bei Schließen der Tür oder des Fensters auslöst. Dabei wirkt der Auslöser mit einem Widerlager zusammen. Die Dichtung kann dann eine herkömmliche absenkbare Dichtung sein.This object is achieved in that the seal assembly according to the invention is suitable and arranged that the actuator in the frame of the door or window, in the floor or in the wall or the like is arranged. The seal further comprises at least one trigger, which triggers a lowering of a sealing strip upon closing of the door or the window in the switched-on state of the seal with mounted seal. The trigger works together with an abutment. The seal may then be a conventional lowerable seal.

Vorteilhaft ist der steuerbare Aktuator so ausgestaltet, dass er mit einer herkömmlichen Dichtung mit absenkbarer Dichtleiste kombiniert werden kann, ohne dass Modifikationen an der Dichtung vorgenommen werden müssen.Advantageously, the controllable actuator is designed so that it can be combined with a conventional seal with retractable sealing strip without modifications to the seal must be made.

Gemäß der Erfindung kann der Aktuator Stromversorgungsmittel wie z. B. Netzanschlüsse oder dergleichen oder einen Speicher für elektrische Energie, wie z. B. Batterien oder Akkumulatoren aufweisen.According to the invention, the actuator power supply means such. As power connections or the like or a memory for electrical energy, such. B. batteries or accumulators.

Die Stromversorgungsmittel eines solchen Aktuators können ein- und ausschaltbar sein. Zugleich mit dem Ein- und Ausschalten der Stromversorgungsmittel kann der Aktuator steuerbar sein. Es ist jedoch denkbar, dass der Aktuator zusätzliche Steueranschlüsse aufweist. Diese können beispielsweise als Schnittstellen ausgestaltet sein. Über eine derartige Schnittstelle kann der Aktuator beispielsweise mit einem Bussystem verbunden werden. Es ist denkbar, dass der Aktuator über einen "Europäischen Installationsbus" ansteuerbar ist. Natürlich ist auch jeder andere Feldbus zur Ansteuerung des Aktuators denkbar. Auf diese Art und Weise ist zum Beispiel die Anbindung an eine Brandmeldeanlage oder eine Anlage zur Kontrolle der Be- und Entlüftung möglich.The power supply means of such an actuator can be switched on and off. At the same time with the switching on and off of the power supply means, the actuator can be controlled. However, it is conceivable that the actuator has additional control connections. These can be configured, for example, as interfaces. By way of such an interface, the actuator can be connected, for example, to a bus system. It is conceivable that the actuator could have a "European Of course, any other fieldbus for actuating the actuator is also conceivable, for example, the connection to a fire alarm system or a system for controlling the ventilation and venting is possible in this way.

Vorzugsweise ist der Aktuator ein elektromechanischer Aktuator. Es kann sich bei dem elektromechanischen Aktuator beispielsweise um einen Elektromagneten, insbesondere einen Umkehrhubmagneten handeln. Ebenso ist es denkbar, dass der Aktuator ein Elektromotor ist. Alternativ kann der Aktuator ein pneumatischer oder ein hydraulischer Aktuator sein. Es kann sich dann beispielsweise um einen Pneumatik- oder einen Hydraulikzylinder handeln. Der Aktuator kann eingerichtet und geeignet sein, in einer stromlosen (Ruhe-) Stellung die Dichtung in einen eingeschalteten Zustand zu bringen beziehungsweise zu halten. Zum Ausschalten der Dichtung müsste der Akutator dann bestromt werden.Preferably, the actuator is an electromechanical actuator. For example, the electromechanical actuator may be an electromagnet, in particular a reversing stroke magnet. It is also conceivable that the actuator is an electric motor. Alternatively, the actuator may be a pneumatic or a hydraulic actuator. It may then be, for example, a pneumatic or a hydraulic cylinder. The actuator may be configured and adapted to bring or hold the seal in an energized (rest) position in an on state. To turn off the seal of the acutator would then be energized.

Die Dichtung einer erfindungsgemäßen Dichtungsanordnung kann ein Gehäuse aufweisen, in welchem die absenkbare Dichtungsleiste verschiebbar angeordnet ist. Die Dichtungsleiste kann über einen Absenkmechanismus mit dem Gehäuse der Dichtung verbunden sein. Die Dichtungsleiste kann eine Halteleiste und ein Elastomerprofil umfassen, das von der Halteleiste gehalten wird. Die Halteleiste ist vorzugsweise über den Absenkmechanismus mit dem Gehäuse verbunden.The seal of a seal assembly according to the invention may comprise a housing in which the lowerable sealing strip is slidably disposed. The sealing strip can be connected via a lowering mechanism with the housing of the seal. The weather strip may include a retaining strip and an elastomeric profile held by the retaining strip. The retaining strip is preferably connected to the housing via the lowering mechanism.

Bei einer erfindungsgemäßen Dichtungsanordnung kann das Widerlager durch den Aktuator in zwei Stellungen verschiebbar sein. Dabei entspricht eine erste der beiden Stellungen einem eingeschalteten Zustand der Dichtung und eine zweite der beiden Stellungen einem ausgeschalteten Zustand der Dichtung.In a sealing arrangement according to the invention, the abutment can be displaced by the actuator in two positions. In this case, a first of the two positions corresponds to a switched-on state of the seal and a second of the two positions corresponds to an off state of the seal.

Der Aktuator kann unmittelbar oder unter Zwischenschaltung eines Mechanismus mit dem Widerlager verbunden sein. So kann der Aktuator beispielsweise über einen Bowdenzug, über ein Umlenkgetriebe oder über eine Kugelumlenkung mit dem Widerlager verbunden sein, um die Kräfte zwischen dem Widerlager und dem Aktuator und umgekehrt zu übertragen.The actuator can be connected directly or with the interposition of a mechanism with the abutment. For example, the actuator can be connected to the abutment via a Bowden cable, via a deflection gear or via a ball deflection in order to transmit the forces between the abutment and the actuator and vice versa.

Die Ausführungsbeispiele für erfindungsgemäße Dichtungsanordnungen sind für Türen, insbesondere Drehflügeltüren dargestellt. Es ist jedoch ebenso erfindungsgemäß möglich, die erfindungsgemäße Dichtungsanordnung für Schiebetüren, Schiebetore, Fenster oder Fenstertüren vorzusehen.The embodiments of sealing arrangements according to the invention are shown for doors, in particular swing doors. However, it is also possible according to the invention to provide the seal assembly according to the invention for sliding doors, sliding gates, windows or balcony doors.

In Fig. 1 ist eine Drehflügeltür 1, 2 mit einem Türrahmen 2 dargestellt. Am unteren Ende des Türblatts 1 ist in einer stirnseitigen Nut eine Dichtung 3 eingelassen. Mit dieser Dichtung 3 wird im geschlossenen Zustand der Tür die so genannte Bodenluft 4 abgedichtet, damit Zugerscheinungen vermieden und Rauch- und Schalltdurchtritt durch die Tür verhindert sind. Dichtungen, die in einer stirnseitigen Nut des Türblatts 1 eingelassen sind, sind in vielfältiger Art und Weise aus dem Stand der Technik bekannt. Üblicherweise weisen diese Dichtungen 3 einen Auslöser 31 aus, der zum Beispiel wandseitig auf ein Widerlager 54 drückt bzw. im geschlossenen Zustand durch das Widerlager 54 eingedrückt wird. Durch das Eindrücken des Auslösers 31 wird eine Dichtungsleiste 32 der Dichtung 3 abgesenkt, wodurch die Bodenluft 4 abgedichtet ist.In Fig. 1 is a swing door 1, 2 shown with a door frame 2. At the lower end of the door leaf 1, a seal 3 is embedded in a frontal groove. With this seal 3, the so-called bottom air 4 is sealed in the closed state of the door, so that drafts are avoided and smoke and sound penetration are prevented by the door. Seals, which are embedded in an end groove of the door panel 1, are known in many ways from the prior art. Usually, these seals 3 have a trigger 31, for example, on the wall side an abutment 54 presses or is pressed in the closed state by the abutment 54. By pressing the trigger 31, a sealing strip 32 of the seal 3 is lowered, whereby the bottom air 4 is sealed.

Erfindungsgemäß ist nun vorgesehen, dass ein Aktuator 5 vorgesehen ist, der ein Ein- bzw. Ausschalten der Dichtung 3 ermöglicht. Durch das Ein- und Ausschalten der Dichtung 3 wird es möglich, auch im geschlossenen Zustand der Tür die Dichtleiste 32 im angehobenen Zustand zu lassen, so dass die Bodenluft 4 nicht überbrückt bzw. abgedichtet ist. Damit wird ein Luftzug unter dem Türblatt bzw. zwischen dem Türblatt und dem Fußboden möglich.According to the invention, it is now provided that an actuator 5 is provided, which enables switching on or off of the seal 3. By switching on and off the seal 3, it is possible to leave the sealing strip 32 in the raised state, even in the closed state of the door, so that the bottom air 4 is not bridged or sealed. This allows a draft under the door leaf or between the door leaf and the floor.

In einem eingeschalteten Zustand der Dichtung 3 arbeitet die Dichtung 3 dagegen wie eine herkömmliche selbsttätig absenkbare Dichtung.In a switched-state of the seal 3, however, the seal 3 works like a conventional self-lowering seal.

Der Aktuator 5, mit welchem die Dichtung 3 ein- bzw. ausgeschaltet werden kann, kann entweder in der Wand benachbart zum Türrahmen 2 bzw. direkt im Türrahmen vorgesehen sein, so wie es mit dem Bezugszeichen 5 angedeutet ist. Alternativ ist es aber auch denkbar, dass der Aktuator 5 im Türblatt 2 benachbart zur Dichtung 3 angeordnet ist, wie es mit dem Bezugszeichen 5a angedeutet ist. Die Anordnung des Aktuators im Türblatt wird nicht als zur Erfindung gehörend angesehen.The actuator 5, with which the seal 3 can be switched on or off, can be provided either in the wall adjacent to the door frame 2 or directly in the door frame, as indicated by the reference numeral 5. Alternatively, it is also conceivable that the actuator 5 is arranged in the door leaf 2 adjacent to the seal 3, as indicated by the reference numeral 5a. The arrangement of the actuator in the door leaf is not considered to be part of the invention.

Ist der Aktuator in der mit dem Bezugszeichen 5a bezeichneten Position vorgesehen, kann die Dichtung 3 so ausgestaltet sein, dass sie in der angehobenen Stellung durch den Aktuator 5a festgesetzt wird. Ein Auslösen der Dichtung 3 mittels des Auslösers 31 beim Schließen der Tür ist dann entweder nicht möglich oder wirkungslos. Die Betätigung des Auslösers 31 kann so ins Leere laufen.If the actuator is provided in the position indicated by reference numeral 5a, the seal 3 may be designed so that it is fixed in the raised position by the actuator 5a. A release of the seal 3 by means of the shutter 31 when closing the door is then either not possible or ineffective. The actuation of the trigger 31 can thus run into the void.

Ist dagegen der Aktuator in der mit 5 bezeichneten Position vorgesehen, können die Ausführungsbeispiele wie sie in den Figuren 2a bis 4b dargestellt sind, verwendet werden. Diesen Ausführungsbeispielen ist gemeinsam, dass ein Widerlager 54 des Auslösers 31, welches üblicherweise am Türrahmen 2 vorgesehen ist, derart beweglich ausgestaltet ist, dass es im eingeschalteten Zustand der Dichtung 3 in der Position ist, in der es bei bekannten Dichtungsanordnungen vorgesehen ist. In diesen Fällen ist das Widerlager 54 mit seiner Widerlagerfläche bündig mit dem Rahmen 2. Im ausgeschalteten Zustand wird das Widerlager 54 dagegen zurückgezogen. Dadurch kann sich der Auslöser 31 im geschlossenen Zustand der Tür 1, 2 zum Auslösen der Dichtung 3 nicht gegen das Widerlager abstützen.If, on the other hand, the actuator is provided in the position indicated by 5, the exemplary embodiments as shown in FIGS FIGS. 2a to 4b are shown used. These embodiments have in common that an abutment 54 of the trigger 31, which is usually provided on the door frame 2, is designed to be movable so that it is in the on state of the seal 3 in the position in which it is provided in known sealing arrangements. In these cases, the abutment 54 with its abutment surface is flush with the frame 2. In the off state, however, the abutment 54 is withdrawn. As a result, the trigger 31 can not be supported against the abutment in the closed state of the door 1, 2 for triggering the seal 3.

Zum Zurückziehen bzw. zum Verschieben des Widerlagers 54 von der Stellung, die es im eingeschalteten Zustand der Dichtung 3 hat, zu der Stellung, die es im ausgeschalteten Zustand des Dichtung 3 hat und umgekehrt, ist das Widerlager 54 als Teil der Aktuatorbaugruppe 5 ausgebildet. Bei dem Aktuator 5 im engeren Sinn handelt es sich in den in den Figuren 2a bis 3 dargestellten Fällen um einen Umkehrhubmagneten 51. Dieser Umkehrhubmagnet 51 zieht im ausgeschalteten Zustand der Dichtung an und arbeitet gegen eine Rückstellfeder 52. Im angezogenen Zustand des Umkehrhubmagneten 51 zieht dieser das Widerlager 54 von der Innenfläche des Türrahmens zurück. Der Auslöser 31 kann dann in dadurch freigegebene Ausnehmung im Türrahmen, die durch eine Hülse 58 ausgekleidet ist, eindringen und das Auslösen der Türdichtung 3 bzw. das Absenken der Türdichtleiste 32 ist damit verhindert. Soll die Türdichtung dagegen eingeschaltet werden, wird der Umkehrhubmagnet 51 so angesteuert, dass die Rückstellfeder 52 gegen den Kragen 59 auf der Widerlagerstange 54 wirkt und so das Widerlager 54 zurück in die Stellung drückt, in der die Widerlagerfläche bündig mit dem Türrahmen 2 abschließt.To retract or move the abutment 54 from the position it has in the on state of the seal 3, to the position it has in the off state of the seal 3 and vice versa, the abutment 54 is formed as part of the actuator assembly 5. The actuator 5 in the narrower sense is in the in the FIGS. 2a to 3 This Umkehrhubmagnet 51 attracts in the off state of the seal and works against a return spring 52. In the attracted state of the Umkehrhubmagneten 51 this pulls the abutment 54 back from the inner surface of the door frame. The trigger 31 can then penetrate in thereby released recess in the door frame, which is lined by a sleeve 58, and the triggering of the door seal 3 and the lowering of the door sealing strip 32 is thus prevented. If the door seal, however, be turned on, the Umkehrhubmagnet 51 is driven so that the return spring 52 acts against the collar 59 on the abutment rod 54 and so the Abutment 54 pushes back into the position in which the abutment surface is flush with the door frame 2.

Eine Stange 511 des Umkehrhubmagneten, die den Abtrieb des Umkehrhubmagneten bildet, kann direkt und unmittelbar mit dem Widerlager 54 verbunden sein. Das Widerlager 54 und die Stange 511 des Umkehrhubmagneten können sogar aus einem Stück hergestellt sein. Es ist allerdings auch möglich, die Stange 511 des Umkehrhubmagneten 51 über einen Bowdenzug 53 mit dem Widerlager 54 zu verbinden. Dann ist es möglich, den Umkehrhubmagneten 51 in größerer Entfernung zu dem Widerlager 54 anzuordnen.A rod 511 of the reverse-stroke magnet forming the output of the reverse-stroke magnet may be directly and directly connected to the abutment 54. The abutment 54 and the rod 511 of the reversing lifting magnet may even be made in one piece. However, it is also possible to connect the rod 511 of the Umkehrhubmagneten 51 via a Bowden cable 53 with the abutment 54. Then, it is possible to arrange the reversing-stroke magnet 51 at a greater distance from the abutment 54.

Über einen Umlenkmechanismus bestehend aus einem keilförmigen Druckstück 56 und einer Kugel 57 ist es möglich, die von dem Umkehrhubmagneten 51 aufgebrachten Kräfte in verschiedenen Winkeln von der Stange 511 des Umkehrhubmagneten 51 auf das Widerlager 54 zu übertragen. Das keilförmige Druckstück 56 ist dazu mit dem abtriebseitigen Ende der Stange 511 des Umkehrhubmagneten 51 verbunden. Das Druckstück 56 wirkt auf eine Kugel 57, die durch das Abrollen auf der Keilfläche des Druckstückes 56 das Widerlager 54 in der Buchse 58 gegen den Druck einer Rückhol- oder Überdruckfeder 52 verschiebt. Wird der Umkehrhubmagnet 51 ausgeschaltet, drückt die Rückholfeder 52 die Kugel 57 in ihre in der Fig. 4a dargestellt Ausgangsposition, wodurch das Druckstück 56 mit der daran befestigten Stange 511 des Umkehrhubmagneten 51 verschiebt.By means of a deflection mechanism consisting of a wedge-shaped pressure piece 56 and a ball 57, it is possible to transmit the forces applied by the reversing lifting magnet 51 at different angles from the rod 511 of the reversing lifting magnet 51 to the abutment 54. The wedge-shaped pressure piece 56 is connected to the output side end of the rod 511 of the Umkehrhubmagneten 51. The pressure piece 56 acts on a ball 57 which shifts the abutment 54 in the sleeve 58 against the pressure of a return or overpressure spring 52 by rolling on the wedge surface of the pressure piece 56. If the Umkehrhubmagnet 51 is turned off, the return spring 52 presses the ball 57 in their in the Fig. 4a illustrated starting position, whereby the pressure piece 56 moves with the attached rod 511 of the Umkehrhubmagneten 51.
