Benefits of technology

[0011] It is an object of the present invention to improve the fitting of the aforementioned kind in such a way that the aforementioned disadvantages are avoided, the quantity of material is reduced, and mounting is simplified.
[0014] By providing a configuration such that the fitting is divided in regard to its height and is configured as a hinge, the individual element can swivel out of the axis of the carriage(s). In this way, a third swivel plane is generated that makes it possible that the individual element or the individual elements, connected by hinges, can be pivoted out of the frame while occupying only little space. By means of the first swivel plane, i.e., the hinge acting external to the element frame; the second swivel plane that is located at the center of the element frame and the bolt in the carriage; as well as the third swivel plane provided by the divided and pivotable fitting, the individual element can be rotated about the three spaced apart bolts / hinges. With such a configuration, the individual elements can be mounted by a single person because the weight of the individual elements does not generate any moments in different directions as a result of the configuration of the present invention.

Problems solved by technology

The known configuration of the fitting is moreover large and heavy because the weight of the individual elements is distributed through the projecting hinges into the C-shaped fitting and from there through the bolt into the carriage.
An undesirable cold bridge is formed, for example, in the case of a folding sliding wall of a sunroom.

Embodiment Construction

[0024] In FIG. 1 a folding sliding wall 1 is illustrated that is comprised of three individual elements 2, 3, 4. The folding sliding wall 1 is surrounded by a wall frame 5 which is comprised of a bottom rail 6, a ceiling rail 7, a left post 8 and a right post 9. The individual elements 2, 3, 4 are pivotably connected to one another by hinges (not illustrated in FIG. 1). For opening the folding sliding wall 1, the individual elements 2, 3, 4 connected to one another hy hinges are fastened in the area of their vertical ends 11, 15 to carriages (not illustrated in FIG. 1) in the bottom rail 6 and the ceiling rail 7. Of the end faces 10-14, the end faces 12, 13, and 14 can move freely within the room.

[0025] The arrangement and attachment of the fitting 16 according to the invention on the individual element 3 is illustrated in FIG. 2. A carriage 17 is arranged movably within the bottom rail 6. The individual elements 3, 4 are, for example, pivotably connected to one another by hinge 18...

Abstract

A folding sliding wall has a wall frame with bottom rail and ceiling rail. Carriages are arranged in at least one of the bottom rail and the ceiling rail. An individual element or several individual elements that are pivotably connected to one another by hinges are provided. The individual element or the several individual elements are arranged in the wall frame so as to be laterally movable therein. Each individual element has an element frame and an element panel arranged in the element frame. A fitting is connected to an end face of the element frame and coupled by a carriage bolt to one of the carriages. A longitudinal axis of the fitting and a longitudinal axis of the carriage bolt are identical.

Description

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION [0001] 1. Field of the Invention [0002] The invention relates to a folding sliding wall comprised of at least one individual element and / or several individual elements that can be pivotably connected to one another by hinges and are arranged in a wall frame that is comprised of at least one bottom rail and a ceiling rail. The individual element or the connected individual elements can be laterally moved in the wall frame. Each individual element is comprised of an element frame and an element panel arranged in the element frame, wherein the element frames of the individual elements are coupled by fittings to carriages in the bottom rail and / or the ceiling rail. The fitting for receiving the bolt is attached to the end face of the element frame. [0003] 2. Description of the Related Art [0004] The term folding sliding wall refers to embodiments such as horizontal sliding walls, sliding turning elements and sliding elements in regard to the individual elemen...
