Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to a finger protection device for the hinge side of a fan door and an installation gauge for installing the finger protection device. Background Technology

[0002] Doors pose a particularly high risk of accidents for children. It is common for fingers to get caught in the gap between the pivoting door leaf and the frame. The force exerted on the trapped finger is significant, resulting in substantial injury.

[0003] Therefore, devices are known from the prior art that provide protection against unintentional finger pinching. Finger protection devices are known here for use on the hinge side of a door, and also for the secondary closing edge on the opposite side of the hinge.

[0004] The hinge side is the side of the pivotable door leaf where the door hinge, or door latch, is located. The opposite side of the hinge, also known as the mating hinge side, is located on the side of the door panel opposite the hinge side. The closing side of the door leaf is located at the other end of the door, i.e., at the door lock and handle.

[0005] EP 3 344 841 B1 discloses a finger protection device for the hinge side of a door leaf, the finger protection device having a substantially U-shaped protective profile fastened to the door frame and extending in the vertical direction between two door hinges of a pivotable door leaf.

[0006] EP 3 767 067 A1 illustrates a hinge-side finger protection device having a protective profile with a cylindrical base and a protective wall disposed thereon, forming a tangential extension. The protective profile is fastened to a door leaf, wherein the fastening profile is screwed or glued to the door leaf. The protective wall has a groove at its free end, the groove forming a cylindrical receiving portion of the fastening profile and being secured in its position by means of bolts.

[0007] FR 2 746 139 A1 describes a finger protection profile having a generally U-shaped section that flips via a door hinge and connects to another section.

[0008] DE 202 00 663 U1 relates to a clamping protection device on the hinge side, having a mounting sleeve that inserts into the rotating hinge element of a door hinge. This is feasible due to the slot in the mounting sleeve. A protective tube disposed between two door hinges is inserted into the spindle of the sleeve and thereby covers the gap between the two door hinges. The protective tube can also be clamp-on or have additional clips, so that the protective tube can be mounted either on the spindle of the mounting sleeve or directly on the rotating hinge element. Additional fastening, such as adhesive, is required for this.

[0009] EP 1 936 083 A1 illustrates a tubular support device for a door hinge configured as a spring-loaded clamping element. The door hinge is designed to prevent mechanical deformation when a heavy door leaf is used. In one embodiment, the tube is surrounded by a sleeve-shaped clamping member that can slide back and forth in the longitudinal direction of the tube to surround the lower part of the door hinge. Summary of the Invention

[0010] The object of this invention is to provide an improved finger protection device on the hinge side. Another object of this invention is to optimize the installation of the finger protection device.

[0011] The purpose is achieved by a finger protection device having the features of the present invention or an installation gauge having the features of the present invention.

[0012] The finger protection device for the hinge side of a door according to the invention has a protective profile for bridging the hinge side gap between the pivotable door leaf and the door frame. The protective profile can be secured to the door leaf by clamping it between two door hinges or between a door hinge and a stop. The finger protection device also has an adapter component having an end face whose position relative to the protective profile is longitudinally changeable, so as to enable the introduction and clamping of the protective profile between door hinges or between a door hinge and a stop. According to the invention, the adapter component can be inserted into the protective profile. When the adapter component is inserted into the protective profile, the end face of the adapter component, which is changeable in its orientation, is located on the side of the adapter component opposite to the protective profile.

[0013] Depending on the application, the adapter component is introduced together with the protective profile between door hinges or between a door hinge and a stop. In other application types, the adapter component is already located in the area of ​​the door, such as on the stop, ceiling, or floor, and the protective profile flips over upon introduction via the adapter component. The former is primarily the case between hinges, but other cases are not excluded. The latter is primarily the case between a door hinge and a stop, or between a ceiling or floor, but other cases are not excluded.

[0014] The adapter component itself or the clamping element can clamp the adapter component and the protective profile together at the door hinge.

[0015] Because the adapter component can be inserted into and clamped together with the protective profile, the finger protection device can be designed to match the shape of the door hinge. In particular, the surface of the finger protection device, especially the overall surface of the protective profile and the adapter component, is aligned with the door hinge.

[0016] Furthermore, finger protection devices can be installed in a simple and straightforward manner, requiring no tools.

[0017] Because the finger protection device is held in place by clamping between the door hinges, additional fastening at the door frame or door leaf is eliminated in this area. Therefore, it is not necessary to drill holes into the components.

[0018] The end faces of the adapter components can be configured such that the same adapter component is suitable for connection with door hinges of different shapes. In other embodiments, the finger protection device includes a collection of two or more adapter components of different shapes, which are used in conjunction with the rest of the finger protection device in a shape corresponding to the door hinge.

[0019] Another advantage is that the protective profile can be available as a meter-sized item and can be easily shortened to the desired length by the manufacturer of the finger protection device. Shortening during installation is also feasible in a simple manner, as the adapter components are typically pushed into the protective profile on-site. Shortening is usually achieved by sawing or cutting. The protective profile is preferably made of metal, such as aluminum, or of plastic.

[0020] In a preferred embodiment, the protective profile has a tube into which the adapter component can be pushed. The tube may have a circular cross-section or, as designed, a different cross-sectional shape to match the door hinge.

[0021] According to one implementation, the protective profile consists solely of the tube. This is particularly true for narrow door hinges and / or for doors with only a small gap between the door leaf and the frame, such that a simple tube is sufficient to adequately cover the gap. The goal is typically to prevent a child's fingers from finding space in the remaining gap.

[0022] In other embodiments, the protective profile has a protective wall molded at the tube and protruding from the tube. This protective wall covers the gap and ensures finger grip protection even in the case of large door hinges. Depending on the embodiment, the protective wall may protrude tangentially from the tube or at another angle.

[0023] To ensure the protective wall remains in place, it is preferably secured to the door frame or door leaf. The protective wall can be for this purpose, for example, glued or directly screwed on. Preferably, however, the protective wall has a first locking element on its free longitudinal side, which can be connected to the locking profile of a finger protection device. Preferably, the locking element can be detachably secured. The locking profile is fastened to the door, i.e., the door frame or door leaf. The locking profile can extend along the entire length of the protective profile or protective wall. In other embodiments, the locking profile is present only in one or more sections of the protective profile or protective wall. The locking profile can be glued, screwed on, inserted, or otherwise secured to the door.

[0024] In a preferred embodiment, the locking mechanism detachably connects the door panel to the protective wall of the protective profile. The locking mechanism is preferably insertable into the protective wall and adhesive to the door panel. Thus, the locking mechanism, in the inserted state, can be guided towards the door hinge along with the protective profile to reach the correct position in a simple manner. However, when the protective profile is subsequently detached, the protective profile remains adhesive to the door panel. The connection can thus be re-established at any time.

[0025] In one embodiment, the adapter component has a base and an adjustment body, wherein the adjustment body is elastically connected to the base in a manner that allows for change in its orientation relative to the base. Preferably, a child locking device is present so that the adjustment body cannot be moved toward the base in an unauthorized manner to remove the finger protection device from the door.

[0026] In a preferred embodiment, the finger protection device has a fixing unit to secure the position of the adapter component in the protective profile and / or the connection between the adapter component and a door hinge or stop or the floor or ceiling.

[0027] Preferably, the fixing unit has a clamping element that secures the adapter component in its orientation relative to the protective profile. Preferably, the same clamping element is also used to secure the connection between the adapter component and the door hinge or stop device. In the case of a resilient adjusting body, a spring is used as the fixing unit to secure the adapter component to the door hinge or stop device.

[0028] If a protective wall and a locking profile are present, the fixing unit preferably has a second locking element that can be connected to the locking profile. The second locking element is preferably configured such that it cannot be disengaged by a child in an unauthorized manner. Preferably, a hand tool is required to disengage the connection. Alternatively, the second locking element is configured such that it can be disengaged without tools, however, it has a child locking device or is not detachable for a child.

[0029] In a preferred embodiment, the adapter component has a coupling mechanism for connection with a door hinge or a stop device. This facilitates centering of the protective profile and enables optimal installation.

[0030] Preferably, the coupling mechanism is a pin protruding from the end face of the adapter component and / or a ring or ring segment protruding from the end face of the adapter component and / or a recess disposed in the end face. These components can be manufactured in a simple manner, thus cost-effectively, and these components facilitate installation. The pin is fixedly connected to the adapter component according to the embodiment, for example, in a one-piece configuration, or the pin can be inserted into the adapter component.

[0031] To allow the adapter component and protective profile to be held by hand and to prevent the adapter component from sliding completely into the protective profile, the adapter component preferably has a stop mechanism positioned on the end edge of the protective profile. The stop mechanism is, for example, a flange that radially protrudes from the adapter component. The flange may be partially or completely circumferentially formed, or it may be formed by radially protruding fingers.

[0032] The adapter component is preferably in the form of a bearing mandrel, a positioning mandrel, or a centering sleeve.

[0033] If the finger protection device also has a cover for mounting on a door hinge or stop, or if the cover can be connected to an adapter component, the finger protection device can be used more widely. The cover can be mounted on the end face of the door hinge when a direct connection between the adapter component and the door hinge is not feasible. According to an embodiment, the cover is a component of the finger protection device S or an existing cover for the door hinge B.

[0034] Preferably, the finger protection device includes a stop. The stop preferably has a fastening leg and an adjusting member, wherein the adjusting member is lateral to the longitudinal direction of the protective profile, and its orientation relative to the fastening leg can be changed. Thus, the stop can be fastened to the door and subsequently matched to the door hinge. The finger protection device can thus be installed in a uniform arrangement along the entire length of the door in a simple manner.

[0035] In another embodiment, the stop device is an angular element, wherein a fastening leg forms a first leg of the angular element and a second leg of the angular element has an elongated hole, and wherein the adapter component has diffusely arranged through holes for fastening the adapter component at the second leg in a selectable position along the elongated hole. The stop device can be configured relatively small. Due to the eccentric fastening, the desired position can be adjusted by rotating the adapter component, but also without having pivotable legs.

[0036] To facilitate installation, an installation gauge is preferably provided, which can be sold with the finger protection device or separately. The installation gauge is particularly helpful when the cover or face of another component must have a hole into which the pin of the adapter component should engage during installation.

[0037] Preferably, the mounting gauge has a base plate with a stop surface projecting downwards from the base plate for receiving a component, such as a cover. Furthermore, the base plate has a through hole between the stop surfaces and a groove on the side of the base plate opposite the stop surfaces for receiving a slider. The mounting gauge also includes a slider with markings containing information about the component and a drilled hole. The through hole is larger than the drilled hole, thereby allowing the drilled hole to provide access to the through hole in different sliding positions of the slider, enabling drilling through both the drilled hole and the through hole.

[0038] Preferably, the substrate also has a locking mechanism for locking the slider pushed into the groove.

[0039] Preferably, the two stop surfaces are arranged at right angles to each other. The groove preferably extends at a 45° angle relative to the stop surfaces, such that the slider moves along the angle bisector of the angle formed by the two stop surfaces.

[0040] This installation aid can also be used for other components or other finger protection devices.

[0041] In another embodiment, the mounting gauge according to the invention has a base plate and a slider that can be displaced and held in the base plate. The slider has a holding mechanism for holding a first member on a side of the slider opposite to the base plate. An angular profile having two stop surfaces angled relative to each other is provided at the base plate. The slider has markings for adjusting the hinge diameter such that when the stop surfaces abut against a door hinge having the adjusted hinge diameter, the first member can be positioned at a matching position relative to the door hinge.

[0042] The installation gauge is suitable for placing the adapter component of the finger protection device according to the invention on the ground, at the ceiling, or at other locations in the area of ​​the door hinge.

[0043] In a preferred embodiment, the two aforementioned functions of the installation gauge are combined in a common device. This simplifies operation and reduces the risk that one of the two installation gauges might not be readily available.

[0044] In a preferred embodiment, the aforementioned mounting gauge with an angled profile has a stop surface that protrudes from the base plate and serves as a stop surface for a cover for a second component, preferably for a finger protection device. Therefore, the second component can be placed onto the base plate on the side opposite to the slider. The base plate has a through-hole. The slider can be adjusted relative to the base plate according to markings and references corresponding to the diameter of the second component. The slider has a drilled hole, wherein the through-hole is larger than the drilled hole, and the drilled hole provides access to the through-hole in different sliding positions of the slider.

[0045] Preferably, in the embodiment described, the substrate also has a locking mechanism for locking the slider that is pushed into the groove.

[0046] Other implementation methods are described herein. Attached Figure Description

[0092] Figure 1 A door with a door frame R, also known as a door frame, and a door leaf F is shown. The door leaf F is pivotally held at the door frame R by means of door hinges B. Finger protection devices S according to the invention are provided between the two door hinges B, above the uppermost door hinge B, and below the lowermost door hinge B.

[0093] Typically, a door has two or three door hinges B spaced apart from each other. Door hinges can be formed in different ways. Figure 1 The illustrations are merely exemplary. The finger protection device S according to the invention can be used not only with the three-piece door hinge shown herein, but also with two-piece door hinges or other types of door hinges.

[0094] When the door is opened, a gap is created between the door frame and the door leaf on the hinge side. When the door is closed again, fingers, especially children's fingers, may get caught in this gap. Therefore, it is advantageous to install a finger protection device S on the hinge side, at least at a height accessible to a child, and preferably across the entire height of the door. For example... Figure 1 As can be seen, a first finger protection device S is installed between hinges B, and a second and third finger protection device S are installed above and below the hinges. The finger protection devices cover the gaps created so that fingers cannot be drawn into the gaps.

[0095] exist Figures 2 to 4 The image shows a first embodiment of a finger protection device S according to the present invention. The finger protection device has a protective profile 1, which is preferably made of metal, especially aluminum, or of plastic. The protective profile is preferably a single piece. The protective profile also includes at least one adapter component 2. Preferably, the protective profile has two adapter components 2. A fixing unit is also present, in the form of a clamping element 3. The finger protection device S also includes a locking profile 4 and preferably a cover 5.

[0096] The protective profile 1 has a tube 10, which preferably matches the shape of the door hinge B in its external shape. In this example, the tube has a circular cross-section. Preferably, a protective wall 11 is molded at the tube 10, which preferably extends along the entire length of the tube 10. The protective wall laterally protrudes from the tube 10. The free longitudinal side of the protective wall 11 transitions into a first locking groove 12.

[0097] The adapter component 2 has a base 20 with an external shape that allows the base 20 to be pushed into the tube 10. In this example, the shape is cylindrical. The base 20 is hollow in this example, with a support 24 at one end leading to a central receiving opening 240. A pin 23 can be inserted into and removed from the receiving opening 240. In other embodiments, the pin 23 is inseparably attached to the base 20 or molded therein in one piece.

[0098] A radially projecting flange 21 is molded at one end of the base 20, or in this example at the end with the support 24, and a ring 22 is molded in the longitudinal direction of the base 20, the ring extending upward. The adapter component 2 is preferably made of metal or plastic.

[0099] The adapter component 2 and the tube 10 are preferably sized such that the adapter component 2 is held slightly clamped in the tube 10.

[0100] The clamping element 3 has a clamp 30. The clamp 30 is preferably configured elastically. In the example described, the clamp is essentially configured as a ring portion, the inner diameter of which allows for clamping connection with the circumference of the base 20 of the adapter component 2, and the outer diameter of which allows for continued guidance of alignment with the outer surface of the tube 10.

[0101] A leg 31 protruding circumferentially is molded at the clamp 30, the leg transitioning into a second locking groove 32 at its free end. The second locking groove 32 preferably has the same cross-section as the first locking groove 12 in shape and size. The clamping element 3 is preferably a one-piece construction.

[0102] The locking profile 4 can be fastened to the door. For this purpose, the locking profile is either glued, screwed, or fastened in another manner. The locking profile has a base plate 40 for this purpose. A locking body 41 is molded on the base plate 40, the locking body forming a mating member relative to the first locking groove 12 and the second locking groove 32 and being received therein. Alternatively, the locking body 41 can also be provided at the clamping element 3 and the protective profile 1, and the groove can be provided at the locking profile 4. Thus, the groove and the locking body are locking elements that can be positioned to engage with each other.

[0103] The cover 5 preferably has an annular base 50, which is closed at one end with a flat bottom 51, wherein the bottom 51 forms a flange 510 protruding from the annular base 50. The annular base 50 may have a different cross-section, which matches the outer contour of the lower or upper end face of the door hinge B. In the example, the annulus is circular. A receiving opening 52 is present in the center of the bottom 51. The receiving opening is typically placed on-site before installation, so the bottom 51 may also be configured to be without an opening. The cover 5, according to an embodiment, is part of the finger protection device S or an existing cover for the door hinge B.

[0104] exist Figure 5 and Figure 6 The diagram illustrates a first feasible installation method for the finger protection device S according to the present invention. The locking profile 4 is fastened to the door frame R or the door leaf F. Figure 5 In this context, there is a large gap between the locking profile 4 and the door hinge B. This is not the case in practice. The locking profile 4 is typically fastened close to the door hinge B. However, for... Figure 5 The selected exploded view provides a better view of each component.

[0105] The protective profile 1 is selected to be slightly less than the distance between the two hinges B of the door. An adapter component 2 with pins 23 is now pushed in on each side until the flange 21 abuts against the end face of the tube 10. If not already present, each cover 5 is provided with a receiving opening 52. The first cover 5 is inserted into... Figure 5 and Figure 6 The second cover 5 is inserted into the opening of the lower hinge B (not shown) into the upper hinge B. Figure 5 The protective profile 1 is inserted into the first cover 5, with pin 23 engaging in the receiving opening 52. The first locking groove 12 of the protective profile 1 is inserted into the locking profile 4 before or after it. Now, the upper adapter component 2 slides partially upward from the protective profile 1 until its pin 23 engages in the receiving opening 52 of the upper cover 5. For fixation, the clamp 30 of the clamping element 3 is inserted between the flange 21 of the adapter component 2 and the end face of the tube 10. The second locking groove 32 of the clamping element 3 is also inserted into the locking body 41 of the locking profile 4. This results in an arrangement approximately aligned with the shape of the door hinge B, as shown in Figure 6 As can be seen from the text.

[0106] The protective profile 1 is clamped between two hinges B by the adapter component 2 and the clamping element 3. The clamping element 3 is fixed on one side of the adapter component 2 in its relative orientation with respect to the tube 10 and on the other side of the adapter component 2, clamping the protective profile 1 securely in its orientation between the two hinges B. The connection between the protective profile 1 and the locking profile 4 is only for the protective wall 11 of the protective profile 1 to be set at a desired angle relative to the door and cannot be pivoted away so as not to expose a gap. The clamping element 3 cannot be removed in a simple manner due to the clamp 30 on one side and also due to the second locking groove 32. Usually, sufficient force in the fingers or with a hand tool is required for this. Thus, the protective device cannot be removed by children.

[0107] Instead of the protective profile 1, a lower adapter component 2 is placed on the lower hinge B, which can also be held at the upper hinge B. The lower adapter component 2 is pulled out and the clamping element 3 is placed at the lower end of the protective profile 1. The method and function are the same.

[0108] exist Figure 7 and Figure 8 A second variation of the application is shown. In this example, the door hinge B has a suitable receiving opening for the pin 23. Alternatively or additionally, the outer diameter of the ring 22 approximately corresponds to the inner diameter of the opening at the end face of the door hinge B. Therefore, the adapter component 2 can be connected to the door hinge B without using the cover 5. If the ring 22 is sufficient for centering the adapter component 2 in the door hinge B, the pin 23 can be omitted. Advantageously, the pin 23 is non-removably disposed in the adapter component 2 because, according to the configuration of the door hinge, there is no corresponding space in the door hinge.

[0109] exist Figure 7 In the upper region, the connection has been established. Figure 7 In the lower region, similar to in Figure 5The arrangement is shown in an exploded view, in which the spacing between the protective profile 1 and the locking profile 4 is shown to be too large.

[0110] exist Figure 9 The middle shows the through according to Figures 5 to 8 The cross-section of the connection. In this example, the base plate 40 of the locking profile 4 is bonded to the door frame R or the door leaf F by means of tape 6.

[0111] exist Figures 10 to 12 The diagram illustrates how the finger protection device S can be secured above the uppermost hinge B and below the lowermost hinge B. A stop device 7 is provided for this purpose. The stop device serves as a replacement for the missing second door hinge B. The stop device has a first leg 70 with a fastening hole 71 for fastening at the door, specifically at the door frame R. Alternatively, the leg 70 can be glued, for example, for a screw-on alternative.

[0112] The second leg 72 extends at a right angle to the first leg 70. The second leg 72 has an elongated hole 74. An adjusting member 73 is held at the second leg 72, which is movable relative to the second leg 72 along the elongated hole 74 and can also pivot relative to the second leg 72. The adjusting member can be fixed in the corresponding position by means of a fixing element 76, here by means of a nut. The adjusting member 73 has a pin receiving portion 75 for receiving the pin 23 of the adapter component 2.

[0113] As in Figure 12 As can be seen, the protective profile 1 and the adapter component 2 can be abutted against the stop device 7 by means of the pin 23, so that the other adapter component 2 can be pulled out at the other end of the protective profile 1 and secured by means of the clamping element 3. The locking profile 4 is not shown here, but it is preferably also present. As in the example above, the installation order can also be reversed here. That is, the protective profile 1 abuts against the door hinge B and the adapter component 2 is pulled out from the side of the stop device 7 and locked by means of the clamping element 3.

[0114] The procedure is the same on both the upper and lower sides of the door. The above description applies to both arrangements in terms of meaning.

[0115] Preferably, the same adapter component 2 is always used on both sides of the protective profile 1, wherein the adapter component is used with or without the pin 23 on the hinge side, depending on the design of the door hinge. However, it is also possible to use adapter components 2 with different shapes.

[0116] exist Figure 13 Another embodiment of the finger protection device S according to the present invention is shown. Figures 14 to 16The following are installation modifications of the described embodiment, wherein the distance between the protective profile 1 and the door hinge B is correctly reproduced during installation in these figures.

[0117] In this example, the protective profile 1 is constructed of a simple tube, preferably with a circular cross-section. No additional protective wall is present. The adapter component 2 is cylindrically constructed and fits into the tube 10. The adapter component also has a flange 21 for placement on the upper end face of the tube 10.

[0118] Adapter component 2 can be used with already... Figures 2 to 12 The adapter component described is similarly constructed. In the example, the adapter component, however, has an upwardly extending ring 25 disposed on the outer circumference. The upwardly extending ring 25 can be configured to be closed or open. The inner diameter of the ring substantially corresponds to the outer diameter of the door hinge B, such that the ring surrounds the door hinge B during installation. The adapter component may also have a support and pin and / or a central opening in the embodiment. In the example, the adapter component, however, has a closed bottom 26 in which a centering hole 27 is disposed.

[0119] The clamping element 3 consists only of a clamp 30, which is essentially a ring-shaped portion.

[0120] The installation is performed in the same manner as in the example above. Adapter components 2 are pushed into the tube 10 on both sides. One adapter component of adapter components 2 is pulled out so that its upward-extending ring 25 passes over the adjacent door hinge B. Clamping elements 3 clamp between the flange 21 and the end face of the tube 10. This secures the adapter components 2 and the tube 10. This arrangement is particularly suitable for narrow hinges where the door clearance is relatively small and no additional protective wall is required.

[0121] The adapter component 2 shown here can also be used with... Figures 2 to 12 The protective profile 1 combination.

[0122] exist Figure 17 and Figure 18 Another variation of the adapter component 2 is shown, which is also compatible with the protective profile 1 according to the above example, and especially with the one according to... Figures 2 to 16 The protective profile combination.

[0123] The adapter component 2 also has a cylindrical base 20, which has a flange 21 for support on the end face of the pipe 10. An adjusting body, specifically a displacement body 28, is displaceably disposed within the base 20. The displacement body 28 is also preferably cylindrical. In this example, the free surface of the displacement body 28 is closed, with a central pin 23 for connection to the door hinge B. However, this surface can also be constructed as in the example presented so far. For example, a support 24 and / or a removable pin 23 may be present. Furthermore, an upwardly extending ring 25, a radially inwardly offset ring 22, or a receiving opening 240 may be present around the circumference.

[0124] The base 20 and the displacement body 28 form a bearing sleeve, within which a spring 29 is disposed. During installation, the spring force compresses the displacement body 28 inward until the protective profile 1 is in the desired position. It is then released, causing the displacement body 28 to be pressed against the door hinge or stop device due to the spring force.

[0125] To remove the finger protection device S, at least one window 200 exists in the base 20, a slider 280 of the window displacer 28 extends. The slider 280 is capable of sliding downwards to disengage the displacer 28 from its engagement with the door hinge B. Preferably, this is achieved in a child-safe manner, for example, by requiring the use of a tool.

[0126] It is sufficient that this adapter component 2 is used only on one side of the protective profile 1. The adapter component 2 according to the present embodiment can be used on the other side. The use of clamping element 3 is omitted.

[0127] exist Figures 19 to 22 The mounting gauge 8 is shown, by means of which the cover 5 can be provided with a receiving opening 52. The mounting gauge 8 is particularly suitable for the cover 5 described above. However, the mounting gauge is also suitable for other applications and other components.

[0128] The mounting gauge has a base plate 80, which is preferably square. At the two legs, downwardly projecting edges are present at an angle to each other, forming two straight stop surfaces 86. The stop surfaces 86 are preferably right angles to each other. Other angles or shapes of the stop surfaces 86 are also possible. On the opposite upper side of the base plate 80, a groove 87 is formed between two parallel side guides 81. An elongated hole 82 is present at the bottom of the groove 87, extending in the longitudinal direction of the groove 87. A fixing hole 85 is also present. A slider 83 can be fixed in its position relative to the base plate 80 by means of a countersunk bolt (not shown).

[0129] A slider 83 is disposed in the groove 87 in the longitudinal direction. The slider 83 has a first mark 88. On the substrate 80, a second mark 89 is present in the region of the side guide portion 81. The slider 83 also has a drilled hole 84.

[0130] As in Figures 19 to 22 As can be clearly seen, the mounting gauge 8 can be placed on the cover 5 or another component, wherein the other component rests against the circumference of the cover 5 with its stop surface 86. The slider 83 slides into the groove 87 to such an extent that the desired position of the first mark 88 coincides with the second mark 89. In the case of the cover, the mark indicates, for example, the diameter of the cover. However, other types of marks are also possible.

[0131] If the desired diameter is achieved, the drilled hole 84 is positioned precisely at the desired location above the cover 5. In the example shown, it is precisely in the center. The drilled hole 84, together with the elongated hole 82 below it, forms a direct passage to the cover 5. The central location can now be marked, the mounting gauge 8 can be removed, and the desired hole can be drilled into the cover 5. Alternatively, the slider can also be secured in its position by means of a bolt provided in a fixing hole, and a hole can be drilled into the cover without removing the installation aid. The mounting gauge facilitates the installation of the finger protection device according to the invention at a door.

[0132] exist Figures 23 to 24 Another embodiment of the finger protection device according to the present invention is shown. The protective profile 1 is constructed substantially as described above. The protective profile also has a protective wall 11 extending from the tube 10. However, the protective wall 11 does not have a locking groove, but terminates at a flat edge. The protective wall 11 can be formed as a flat surface or curved. In the example shown, the free end is slightly angled toward the door frame R or door leaf F. The adapter component 2 is constructed in the same manner as described above. Figure 24 As can be seen, a cover 5 exists, with its receiving opening for receiving the pin 23 of the adapter component 2. The cover 5 is inserted into the opening of the hinge B. The upper end of the finger protection device is shown. A clamping element 3, in the form of a clamp 30 having legs 31 corresponding in shape to the protective wall 11, is present at the lower end of the protective profile 1 (not shown here). The clamping element 3... Figure 31 and Figure 32 It is shown and described in the text.

[0133] To secure the protective wall 11 to the door frame R or door leaf, a cam-shaped locking device 13 is used instead of a locking groove. The locking device 13 has a base 130 and a clamping member 131, such as a resilient clamp, disposed thereon. The base 130 has a flat surface, which is preferably adhesively formed. The thickness of the base 130 corresponds to the distance between the upper edge of the protective wall 11 and the door hinge B in the installed state. The base 130 preferably has a disc shape. The clamping member 131 detachably secures the locking device 13 to the upper edge of the protective wall 11. Similarly, the locking device 13 can be used on the lower edge of the protective wall 11 for the hinge B located below it.

[0134] exist Figures 25 to 27 The illustration shows the installation and removal of a variant of the finger protection device. Unlike the example above, the cover 5 is absent. The adapter component 2 has an upper circumference that can be pushed into the opening of the hinge B, allowing the adapter component 2 to pivot in a manner guided through the opening of the hinge B.

[0135] The base of the lock 13 is constructed to be thinner than in the example above because the cover 5 is absent.

[0136] exist Figure 25 In this assembly, adapter component 2 is introduced into tube 10 of protective profile 1, and locking device 13 is inserted into protective wall 11. In this assembly, finger protection device S is positioned relative to hinge B. The distance from the hinge is shown as greater than the distance typically present in practice. The assembly is pressed against hinge B, and locking device 13 is adhered to hinge B. This... Figure 26 As shown in the figure. Subsequently, a clamping element 3 can be introduced at the lower end of the protective profile. This is not shown in the figure and will be explained later in the text.

[0137] If the finger protection device S is to be removed, the protective profile 1 with the adapter component 2 can simply slide downwards away from the hinge B after the clamping element 3 is removed. The lock 13 remains at the hinge B. This is in Figure 27 This can be seen from the text.

[0138] As described, the finger protection device can be used between the two hinges B. However, the finger protection device can also be used with the stop device 7 at the upper and lower ends of the door. This is, for example, the stop device already described. Another embodiment of the stop device 7 that can also be used is... Figure 28 and Figure 29 As shown in the image.

[0139] Finger protection devices and Figures 10 to 12The stop device shown is similarly constructed. The finger protection device also has a first leg 70 with a fastening hole 71 for securing it to the door frame R or door leaf F. A second leg 72 is also arranged at a right angle to the first leg 70 and has an elongated hole 74. A displacement groove 78 is present in the second leg 72, extending along the elongated hole 74. A slot wedge 77 (Nutstein) can be pushed into the displacement groove 78. The slot wedge 77 has a threaded hole.

[0140] At the end, an adapter component 2' is used, which is substantially identical in construction to the already described adapter component 2. The adapter component has a base 20' and a flange 21'. The base 20' can be as thick as the aforementioned adapter component. However, the base is typically thicker than... Figure 28 The base shown is constructed to be narrower. The adapter component 2' has a support post 24' and a receiving opening 240'. However, the receiving openings 240' are distributed. Instead of pins 23, the fixing element 76, here bolts are screwed into the slotted wedge 77 through the distributed receiving openings 240' and through the elongated holes 74. Therefore, by rotating the adapter component 2' and by shifting along the elongated holes 74, the horizontal position of the adapter component 2' and the protective profile 1 can be selected to match the hinge B.

[0141] exist Figure 29 The image shows a finger protection device in its installed state. (As shown in...) Figures 25 to 27 As described above, the finger protection device is secured at the upper end by means of a locking device 13 to prevent pivoting of the protective wall 11. Figure 31 The clamping element 3 shown is engaged in the lower region. Here, the upward-pointing upper protrusion 310 of the support leg 31 slides between the protective wall 11 and the door, thereby clamping it. If the clamping element 3 is used in the upper region of the finger protection device, then... Figure 29 The lower protrusion 311 visible in the image is used in the same manner. Preferably, if the protrusion is not needed and the protrusion interferes with the optical appearance, the protrusions 310 and 311 can be bent and removed.

[0142] The protective device according to the invention can be used in both the upper and lower regions of a door, even without the stop device 7. An example of this is... Figures 30 to 32 As shown in the diagram. For this purpose, the adapter component 2 is fastened to the bottom P of the building. Preferably, the adapter component is glued. However, the adapter component can also be screwed on. The adapter component 2 can, for example, be constructed in the same manner as the adapter component described in the above embodiment. In the illustrated embodiment, the base 20'' of the adapter component is as shown in... Figure 28It is constructed in a narrow manner. The adapter component has a support 24'', but no receiving opening for bolts or pins, because the adapter component is bonded to the bottom P with its flange 21''.

[0143] As in Figure 31 As can be seen from the image, the protective profile 1, which has a pipe 10 and a protective wall 11, is as follows: Figure 25 and Figure 26 As shown in the diagram, it slides upwards. Then, the clamping element 3 clamps between the adapter part 2'' bonded to the bottom P and the protective profile 1. Here, the upper protrusion 310 clamps behind the protective wall 11. The shape of the support leg 31 corresponds to and is aligned with the shape of the protective wall 11, as shown in the diagram. Figure 32 As can be clearly seen in the text.

[0144] To facilitate the placement of the bottom-side adapter component 2'', an installation gauge 9 is provided. The installation gauge is located in... Figure 33 and Figure 34 As shown in the figure. The installation gauge 9 uses the principle of the first installation gauge 8, which has already been described, and is used to introduce holes in the cover 5.

[0145] The second mounting gauge 9 has a base plate 90, which preferably has two edges forming a right angle. An angle profile, preferably made of aluminum or sheet metal, is provided at the base plate 90, forming two stop surfaces 96. The stop surfaces 96 preferably form a right angle. The angle profile is preferably detachably fastened to the base plate 90 by means of bolts 960.

[0146] The substrate 90 has an elongated hole 92 extending along the angle bisector between two stop surfaces 96. On the side of the substrate 90 opposite to the stop surfaces 96, a slider 93 is displaceably held in a groove 97 of the substrate 90. The slider is movable along the elongated hole 92. The slider has a mark 98, preferably in the form of a ruler.

[0147] As in accordance with Figures 19 to 22 As in the embodiment, the slider 93 has a receiving opening 94. The receiving opening is in... Figure 33 This can be seen from the text.

[0148] A fixing hole 95 is provided in the substrate 90. The slider 93 can be fixed in its position relative to the substrate 90 by means of a countersunk bolt (not shown). This... Figure 33 This can be seen from the text.

[0149] exist Figures 35 to 39As can be seen, the second installation gauge 9 can be used to position the adapter component 2''. The adapter component 2'' is constructed identically or similarly to the already described adapter component. The adapter component has a pin 23'', which is positioned... Figure 39 As can be seen, an adhesive is preferably applied to the underside of flange 21''.

[0150] As in Figure 35 As can be seen, the adapter component 2'' is pressed into the receiving opening 94 of the slider 93 by means of the pin 23''. Other types of retaining devices are also feasible, such as clamping rings, jigs, and snap-fit ​​elements. The slider 93 is adjusted beforehand or by means of the inserted adapter component 2'' corresponding to the diameter of the hinge B. For this purpose, a mark 98 is used on the slider, wherein the angular back formed by the angular profile having a stop surface 96 serves as a reference 961 for marking, for adjusting the slider 93. This is in Figure 34 As can be clearly seen, the position of slider 93 relative to substrate 90 is preferably fixed as mentioned above.

[0151] Subsequently, the mounting gauge 9, together with the adapter component 2'' held thereon, is abutted against the door hinge B and guided downwards until it is supported on the bottom P. Here, the stop surface 96 abuts against the hinge. This is in Figures 36 to 38 It can be clearly seen from the middle.

[0152] Because the position of slider 93 corresponds to the hinge diameter, adapter component 2'' is stationary in the correct position on the bottom P. The adapter component can now be pressed downwards, causing it to adhere to the bottom P. The mounting gauge 9 can then be removed. This situation occurs in... Figure 39 As can be seen from the above, the protective profile 1 and the clamping element 3 can now be installed.

[0153] For adhesive alternatives or additional locations, adapter part 2'' can also be screwed onto the bottom P.

[0154] The same mounting gauge 9 can also be used to accommodate the receiving opening 52 in the cover 5. An elongated hole is used for this purpose, which is not necessary for positioning the adapter component 2''.

[0155] The slider 93 is adjusted corresponding to the diameter of the cover 5. This can be done using the same marking 98 or markings parallel to it. The adjustment of the slider 93 is also preferably fixed, preferably by means of the aforementioned countersunk bolts in the fixing hole 95.

[0156] As in Figure 40 As can be seen, the cover 5 is introduced between the stop surfaces 96, such that the cover abuts against these stop surfaces and is placed on the substrate 90. Figure 40A hole already exists in cover 5. Therefore, this is the case after the hole is created using mounting gauge 9.

[0157] The receiving opening 94 in the slider 93, together with the elongated hole 92, forms a channel to the cover 5 for drilling. Preferably, a drill sleeve 91 is embedded in the receiving opening 94, as it is in Figure 40 and Figure 42 As can be seen from the diagram. The drill bushing facilitates guidance during drilling and protects the receiving opening 94, which also serves as a retaining mechanism when positioning the adapter component 2''.

[0158] A drilling aid 99 is located on the side of the cover 5 opposite to the slider 93. This drilling aid can be inserted into an angled profile when needed. The angled profile has a flat bottom surface with blind holes 991. The base of the angled profile is shaped like a wave 990 or other shape suitable for components held in place by one hand. The drilling aid 99 secures the cover 5 in its position on the base plate 90 and thus enables drilling into the receiving opening 52 within the cover 5 via the drill sleeve 91 or through the receiving opening 94.

[0159] The drilling aid 99 preferably has a notch 992. The same applies to the drill bushing 91. The notch is used to secure two individual components to the remaining mounting gauge 9 for transport and storage.

[0160] Figure 43 A cover 5 having a base 50 is shown, into which a hole or receiving opening 52 is drilled by means of a mounting gauge 9.

[0161] Using the first installation gauge 8 when using the second installation gauge 9 is unnecessary. However, the first installation gauge can be used alternatively or additionally.

[0162] The finger protection device on the hinge side according to the present invention enables simple and quick installation at the door. Furthermore, it can be used with multiple different door hinges. Installation aids facilitate the installation of the adapter components and / or the cover.
