Description

[0001] The invention relates to a device for stopping a movement of a door and / or window sash.

[0002] Door and / or window sashes can close with great speed when open during drafts due to the negative pressure created in the door or window opening. This can damage the door and / or window sash or the door and / or window frame. Furthermore, there is a risk of injury if body parts are located between the door and / or window frame and the door and / or window sash.

[0003] To prevent this, door stops are known, which can be placed, for example, on the floor between the door leaf and the door frame. Furthermore, elastic clamps are known, for example from JP 2014-58860 A, which can be clamped to the frame or leaf of a door or window to prevent the door or window from closing.

[0004] The object of the invention is to provide a device that is easy to use and has effective functionality.

[0005] The problem is solved by the features of the independent claims. Advantageous further developments are the subject of the dependent claims and the following description.

[0006] In a device for stopping a movement of a door and / or window sash, comprising at least one carrier body for mounting the device in the region of a door and / or window sash and at least one functional body which is fastened to the carrier body and is designed to be arranged between a door and / or window sash and an associated door and / or window frame, it is provided according to the invention that the functional body can be changed between a first functional position in which the functional body protrudes from the carrier body and a second functional position in which the functional body protrudes less far from the carrier body than in the first functional position.

[0007] The device thus provides a functional body for placement between a door and / or window sash, which can be switched between two functional positions. In a first functional position, the functional body protrudes from a support body and can thus be placed between a door and / or window sash and a door and / or window frame. In the second functional position, the functional body protrudes less far from the support body and can thus be moved away from a position between the sash and the frame of a door or window in the second functional position, so that the door or window can be closed again. This makes the device easy to use and can effectively stop the movement of a door and / or window sash.

[0008] The functional body can be switched between the first functional position and the second functional malfunction by moving the functional body relative to the support body. The support body can also be mounted, for example, on the frame or on the sash of the door or window. In some embodiments, the support body can also be mounted on a floor section, which can be arranged below a pivoting area of ​​the sash of the door or window. Analogously, the support body can also be mounted on a wall or a ceiling. In the first functional position, the functional body can then protrude from below, from the side, or from above between the frame and the sash of the window or door.

[0009] According to some embodiments, it is conceivable that the functional body can consist of at least one elastic material.

[0010] Due to the elasticity of the material of the functional body, the functional body also dampens the slamming of a door or window sash when the functional body is wedged between the sash and the door or window frame. Rebounding or damage to the door or window sash can thus be reduced or prevented.

[0011] The elastic material can be rubber or caoutchouc, for example.

[0012] According to some embodiments, it is conceivable that the functional body can be pivotably or displaceably mounted on the carrier body between the first and second functional positions.

[0013] The functional body can thus be attached to the support body, for example, with a screw, which can act as a pivot axis for the functional body. The functional body can then be pivoted at least from the second functional position to the first functional position and back. Alternatively, the functional body can be mounted on the support body, for example, with a slide rail. In this case, the functional body can be moved along the slide rail to switch between the first functional position and the second functional position.

[0014] According to some embodiments, it is conceivable that the functional body can be releasably locked to the carrier body in the first functional position and / or in the second functional position.

[0015] If the functional body is releasably engaged to the support body in the first functional position, the functional body can only be changed out of the first functional position with increased force. This provides a defined position and alignment of the functional body on the support body for the first functional position. Furthermore, this can reduce the probability that the functional body will be moved out of the first functional position due to shear forces when a door and / or window leaf impacts the functional body. The same applies if the functional body is releasably engaged to a support body in the second functional position. This can further improve the user-friendliness of the device.

[0016] According to some embodiments, it is conceivable that the carrier body can have at least one cam and the functional body can comprise at least one cam receptacle for the cam and / or that the functional body can have the at least one cam and the carrier body can comprise the at least one cam receptacle for the cam, wherein the cam can be releasably engaged in the cam receptacle in the first functional position and / or in the second functional position.

[0017] Thus, the combination of the cam and the cam receptacle can provide a locking connection between the functional body and the carrier body in the first functional position and / or the second functional position. When the functional body is locked to the carrier body, the cam receptacle or the cam can be over-pressed by applying increased force to release the locking connection. When the cam is arranged on the carrier body, the functional body can have the cam receptacle, and vice versa.

[0018] According to some embodiments, it is conceivable that the device can have a stop element for stopping the functional body in the first functional position when changing from the second to the first functional position.

[0019] The stop element holds the functional body in the first functional position and can only switch to the second functional position in the event of a malfunction. For example, if the functional body is pivoted from the second functional position to the first functional position, the stop element can prevent the functional body from pivoting beyond the first functional position. By providing the stop element, a defined position of the functional body can be maintained in the first functional position. This further increases user-friendliness and can also improve the effectiveness of the function.

[0020] According to some embodiments, it is conceivable that the functional body can rest against the carrier body in the second functional position.

[0021] When the functional body rests against the support body in the second functional position, it no longer protrudes from the support body. This allows the device to be designed to be compact and space-saving in the second functional position.

[0022] According to some embodiments, it is conceivable that the functional body can be designed as a lever arm with a free end section and an end section fastened to the carrier body opposite the free end section.

[0023] The functional body can thus have an elongated shape, which can be finger-like, for example. The free end section can point away from the support body in the first functional state. This embodiment is particularly advantageous if the functional body, with the attached end section, is pivotally mounted on the support body. The free end section can then serve as an engagement point for a user for the pivoting movement. Furthermore, the device can be compact in the second functional state and, for example, be arranged on a frame directly adjacent to a closed leaf of a door and / or window.

[0024] According to some embodiments, it is conceivable that the carrier body can have a mounting surface for mounting the device, wherein the mounting surface can be aligned substantially parallel to a direction in which the functional body can protrude from the carrier body in the first functional position.

[0025] The mounting surface can then, for example, be attached to a frame of a door and / or window. In the first functional state, when a closing leaf of a door and / or window impacts the functional body located between the leaf and the frame of the door or window, a tensile force is exerted on the mounting surface via a lever effect of the functional body, which is oriented essentially perpendicular to the surface. This avoids an adverse shearing effect between the mounting surface and the frame. When the device is mounted on a leaf of the door or window, the above explanations apply analogously.

[0026] According to some embodiments, it is conceivable that the carrier body and the functional body can each have a magnet which can abut against each other with different poles in the first and / or second functional position.

[0027] The magnets can thus provide a locking effect to lock the functional body into the first functional position and / or the second functional position on the carrier body. Furthermore, an acoustic signal can be generated to indicate that the functional body has locked into the corresponding functional position.

[0028] Furthermore, the invention relates to a system for stopping a movement of a door and / or window sash, comprising a clamping device and a device according to the preceding description, wherein the clamping device is designed to strike the functional body when the door and / or window sash is opened when the functional body is in the first functional position and the system is mounted in the region of a door and / or window sash.

[0029] The clamping device can be used to catch the functional body, for example, when the door and / or window sash is closed. If the door and / or window sash rebounds, the clamping device can strike the functional body and limit the opening angle of the door and / or window sash. This can reduce damage to the door and / or window sash, for example, in the event of a draft.

[0030] Further advantages and effects, as well as further developments of the system, arise from the advantages and effects, as well as further developments of the device described above. To avoid repetition, reference is made to the previous description in this regard.

[0031] The invention is described below using an exemplary embodiment with reference to the accompanying drawings. They show: Fig. 1a, b a schematic representation of a device mounted on a frame of a window according to a first embodiment; Fig. 2a, b a schematic representation of a device mounted on a frame of a window according to a second embodiment; Fig. 3a, b a schematic representation of the device; Fig. 4 a schematic representation of the functional body; Fig. 5 a schematic representation of the device clamped between the frame and the sash; and Fig. 6 a schematic representation of the system.

[0032] The device for stopping a movement of a door and / or window sash is manufactured in accordance with Fig. 1a and Fig. 1b is hereinafter referred to in its entirety by the reference number 10.

[0033] In the Fig. 1a and Fig. 1b shows a first embodiment of the device 10 on a frame 16 of a window to which a pivotable sash 18 of a window is attached.

[0034] The device 10 comprises a support body 12 and a functional body 14. In this embodiment, the functional body 14 is pivotally attached to the support body 12. The support body 12 can be designed, for example, as a support plate.

[0035] In Fig. 1a, the functional body 14 is shown in the second functional position and in Fig. 1b in the first functional position. In the first functional position, the functional body 14 protrudes from the carrier body 12, whereas in the second functional position, the functional body 14 protrudes less from the carrier body 12. In this embodiment, the functional body 14 is applied to the carrier body 12 in the second functional position.

[0036] In this embodiment, the change between the first functional position and the second functional position can be effected by pivoting the functional body 14 relative to the carrier body 12.

[0037] In this exemplary embodiment, the device 10 is mounted on the window frame 16 with the support body 12 in such a way that the window sash 18 can be closed when the functional body 14 is in the second functional position. However, this does not preclude the device from also being mounted on the window sash 18. All the above and following explanations relating to a window frame 16 and a window sash 18 apply analogously to a door frame and a door sash.

[0038] In the first functional position, the functional body 14 extends into a pivoting range of the window sash 18. When the window sash 18 is closed, the functional body 14 can be clamped between the window sash 18 and the window frame 16.

[0039] Fig. 2a and Fig. 2b shows a second embodiment of the device 10. In this embodiment, the functional body 14 is displaceably mounted on the support body 12. The functional body 14 can be moved telescopically relative to the support body 12 in order to change from the second functional position to the first functional position and vice versa.

[0040] The connection between the functional body 14 and the carrier body 12 can be made, for example, by a slide rail or in another displaceable form.

[0041] Fig. Figure 3a shows the first embodiment of the device 10 in a detailed view, with the functional body 14 shown in the second functional position. The pivot bearing of the functional body 14 can be formed by a pivot axis 20, which can be attached to the support body 12. The functional body 14 can be pivoted about the pivot axis 20 to switch between the first functional position and the second functional position.

[0042] The support body 12 may have a mounting surface 34 with which the device 10 can be mounted to a window frame 16 or a window sash 18. Mounting may be performed using an adhesive connection or a screw connection.

[0043] The mounting surface 34 can be arranged on a side of the carrier body 12 that faces away from the functional body 14. The carrier body 12 can thus be arranged between the functional body 14 and the mounting surface 34.

[0044] The first functional position of the device 10 of the first embodiment is in Fig. 3b. In the first functional position, the functional body 14 can be pivoted by 90° relative to the carrier body 12 and protrudes from the carrier body 12.

[0045] The functional body 14 can extend from an end portion 36 attached to the support body 12 to a free end portion 38. The free end portion 38 can form the end of a lever that the functional body 14 can form.

[0046] Furthermore, the carrier body 12 can have a first cam 22 and / or a second cam 26. The cams 22, 26 can be arranged such that they can secure the functional body 14 in the first functional position or the second functional position with a releasable locking connection. For this purpose, the functional body 14 can have a first cam receptacle 24 and a second cam receptacle 28. The cam receptacles 24, 26 can be formed as recesses in the functional body 14.

[0047] The first cam receptacle 24 can interact with the first cam 22 in the first functional position and accommodate the first cam 22. The first cam receptacle 24 and / or the first cam 22 can be designed such that they form a stop element. The stop element can prevent the functional body 14, when it is brought from the second functional position into the first functional position, from being moved beyond the first functional position. This means that in this exemplary embodiment, the first functional body 14 cannot be pivoted more than 90° relative to the carrier body 12. The angle that the functional body 14 can assume in the first functional position relative to the carrier body 12 can be selected arbitrarily, as long as the functional body 14 protrudes further from the carrier body 12 in the first functional position than in the second functional position.

[0048] The second cam receptacle 28 can cooperate with the second cam 26 in the second functional position and thereby accommodate the second cam 24.

[0049] When the first and / or second cam 22, 26 is arranged and received in the first and / or second cam receptacle 24, 28, a releasable locking connection can be created between the functional body 14 and the carrier body 12. The locking connection can be released by pressing the respective cam in the corresponding cam receptacle. During this process, the cam receptacle can be pressed over the cam to move the cam out of the cam receptacle.

[0050] Instead of the cams 22, 26 and the cam receptacles 24, 28, magnets can be arranged on the carrier body 12 or the functional body 14. The magnets can Fig. 3b, replace the cams 22, 26 and cam receptacles 24, 28. Furthermore, the magnets can optionally be embedded in the carrier body 12 or the functional body 14, respectively.

[0051] Instead of the first cam 22 and the first cam receptacle 24, the magnets at the corresponding positions can then interact with each other in the second functional position, oriented with different poles to each other. This means, for example, that a first magnet, located at the location of the first cam 22, has its south pole facing the functional body 14, and a second magnet, located at the position of the first cam receptacle 24, has its north pole facing the carrier body 12. Of course, the poles of the magnets can also be oriented differently, as long as an attractive force acts between the two magnets in the first functional position.

[0052] Accordingly, a third magnet can replace the second cam 26 and a fourth magnet the second cam receptacle 28. Then, an attractive force can act between the third magnet and the fourth magnet when the functional body 14 is in the first functional position.

[0053] The use of magnets has the advantage of preventing wear caused by over-pressing a cam. Furthermore, contact between the two corresponding magnets in the first functional position and the second functional position can generate an acoustic signal that can indicate the arrival of the functional body 14 in the first functional position and the second functional position, respectively.

[0054] Fig. 4 shows a surface of the functional body 14, which in the second functional position can be aligned with the carrier body 12. The first and second cam receptacles 24, 28 are shown. The first cam receptacle 24 can be arranged in a first channel 30 through which the first cam 22 can be guided during a pivoting movement of the functional body 14. The first channel 30 can extend from one edge of the functional body 14 over the cam receptacle 24 to another edge of the functional body 14. Furthermore, the channel 30 can be curved and formed as a groove.

[0055] In this embodiment, a second channel 32 can extend from the second cam receptacle 28 to the edge of the functional body 14. The second channel 32 can also be formed as a curved groove. An edge of the cam receptacle 28 opposite the second channel 32 can function as the stop element 40.

[0056] The channels 30, 32 are not absolutely necessary when using magnets, especially when they are embedded in the carrier body 12 or functional body 14.

[0057] Furthermore, a second stop element 44 can be arranged on the carrier body 12, which can interact with a stop receptacle 46 in the second functional position to prevent the functional body 14 from leaving the second functional position when it is moved from the first functional position to the second functional position. The second stop element 44 can also be arranged on the functional body 14, and the stop receptacle 46 on the carrier body 12.

[0058] In Fig. Figure 5 shows a situation in which the functional body 14 is in the first functional position and is clamped between a window sash 18 and the window frame 16. The functional body 14 can be made of an elastic material and can bend accordingly due to the clamping. The window sash 18 is thereby held open. Furthermore, in the event of a draft, the window sash 18 can be prevented from striking the window frame 16.

[0059] Since the functional body 14 in this example is made of an elastic material, the movement of the window sash 18 in the direction of the window frame 16 is damped as soon as the window sash 18 hits the functional body 14.

[0060] As already mentioned above, a door leaf can be used instead of a window sash 18 and a door frame can be used instead of a window frame 16 throughout the description.

[0061] Fig. 6 shows a system 42 for stopping the movement of a door and / or window sash. In this embodiment, a clamping device 44 can be arranged on the window sash 18. When the window sash 18 executes a closing movement toward the functional body 14, the clamping device 44 can capture and clamp the functional body 14 if the clamping device 44 is arranged accordingly on the window sash 18.

[0062] The clamping device 44 can further be designed such that it releases the functional body 14 only with a very large amount of force when the window sash 18 pivots back, i.e., during an opening movement. The opening movement of the window sash 18 can thus be limited after the functional body 14 has been captured by the clamping device 14.

[0063] The example described above does not limit the invention in any way. Rather, the invention can be modified in many ways. All of the features of the invention described above can be essential to the invention alone or in combination with one another.
