GLASS SLIDING DOOR SYSTEM

Description

[0001] The invention relates to a glass sliding door system with at least one glass sliding element that can be attached to a receiving arrangement on a wall of a building, wherein the glass sliding element is slidably received on the receiving arrangement so that the glass sliding element can be moved back and forth between an opening position next to a wall opening made in the wall and a closing position in front of the wall opening, and wherein the glass sliding element is delimited by side edges, on each of which a sealing element is arranged. State of the art

[0002] DE 20 2014 000 991 U1 discloses a sliding door system, wherein the sliding element shown is made of glass, for example. The glass sliding element can be moved back and forth between an open position and a closed position, so that it can be positioned next to the wall opening in the open position and in front of the wall opening in the closed position.

[0003] The sliding glass element has side edges, each with a sealing element arranged on it. The sealing elements are designed as magnetic seals, and in the closed position, the magnetic seals can snap together into a sealed position, with the snapping together being triggered by magnetic forces. This results in the wall opening being well sealed by the sliding glass element; however, it disadvantageously requires large release forces to move the sliding glass element from the closed position back into the open position. When the sliding glass element is moved, all of the magnetic forces of the magnetic seals must be overcome, which is only possible to a limited extent even with appropriately supporting mechanics and / or spring assistance. In addition, this results in a complex and space-consuming design for the sliding glass door system.If a more delicate design of a glass sliding door system is required, a simplified design of the seal of the wall opening in the wall should be provided by the glass sliding element.

[0004] US20090145062A1 and DE102005030840A1 each disclose sliding door systems that include, among other things, sliding glass elements. To seal the gap between the sliding door and the wall or wall opening, retaining arrangements are provided for accommodating at least one sealing element, which is mounted either on the edge of the sliding glass element or on the wall. Disadvantages of these arrangements are that they require a complex retaining structure and do not allow the sealing element to be directly attached to the wall of the wall opening. Disclosure of the invention

[0005] The object of the invention is to further develop a glass sliding door system with a glass sliding element equipped with corresponding sealing elements, with which the glass sliding element closes a wall opening in a building, particularly in the living area or work area of ​​a building. The glass sliding element and the design of the sealing elements should be as simple as possible.

[0006] This object is achieved by a glass sliding door system according to the preamble of claim 1 in conjunction with the characterizing features. Advantageous developments of the invention are specified in the dependent claims.

[0007] The essential aspect of the invention is that the at least one sealing element protrudes so far from the sliding glass element in the direction of the wall opening that at least one sealing element seals a gap between the sliding glass element and the wall in the closed position. The invention thus also includes the technical teaching that one of the sealing elements is designed to protrude into the wall opening at a side edge and, in the closed position, seals a gap between the sliding glass element and the wall.

[0008] The core idea of ​​the invention is to seal the gap between the sliding glass element and the wall with a sealing element that protrudes further from the sliding glass element than the size of the gap. If the sliding glass element is now moved into the closed position, the first sealing element, which is at the front in the movement, can come into contact with an opening cheek of the wall opening, thereby achieving the desired sealing effect. This results in a visually high-quality, delicate design of the sliding glass door system combined with effective sealing of the wall opening by bridging the gap between the sliding glass element and the wall. By designing the sealing element to be flexible, it is possible to bring at least one side area of ​​the sealing element into contact completely with the opening cheek of the wall, thus achieving a good sealing effect.

[0009] According to the invention, the wall opening in front of which the glass sliding element is arranged in the closed position has opposing inner opening cheeks so that the sealing element projecting into the wall opening comes into sealing contact against one of the opening cheeks when the glass sliding element is in the closed position. Furthermore, a profile element can be arranged on the wall, with an opposite further sealing element coming into laterally contact with the profile element on or in the region of a second side edge in the closed position. The second sealing element comes into contact in the same position and thus simultaneously with the first sealing element against the inner opening cheek, so that ultimately a two-sided seal of the glass sliding element results, namely on the left and right side of a glass sliding element arranged essentially on edge in front of a wall opening.

[0010] A further advantage for the design of the glass sliding door system is achieved if an edge finishing profile is arranged on each of the side edges, with at least one of the sealing elements being received on the edge finishing profile. The edge finishing profile is designed, for example, as an aluminum continuous cast profile or extruded profile, and a particular advantage can be achieved in particular if the edge finishing profile has a substantially C-shaped profile so that the side edge of the glass sliding element is encompassed both at the front and the rear. At the rear, the sealing element can be received on the edge finishing profile, and at the front, the edge finishing profile encompasses the side edge of the glass sliding element to such an extent that the arrangement of the sealing element on the rear of the glass sliding element is visually concealed when viewed from the front.The edge finishing profile offers the particular advantage that the glass sliding element itself is protected from damage, and edge finishing profiles arranged at least on the left and right sides give the glass sliding door system a visually high-quality impression.

[0011] The at least one sealing element is particularly advantageously designed to protrude approximately perpendicularly from the flat plane of the sliding glass element toward the wall. The sealing element has a protruding length beginning at the surface of the sliding glass element that is longer than the gap between the sliding glass element and the wall, so that the sealing element can protrude into the wall opening and come into contact with the opening cheek when the sliding glass element has been moved into the closed position.

[0012] The sealing element at the rear in the direction of movement, which is arranged on the edge finishing profile, which is still in front of the wall in the closed position of the glass sliding element and comes into contact with the profile element, can be designed so long that it just does not touch the wall and grinds against it, but comes into contact with a leg of the profile element in a sealing manner if possible when the glass sliding element has been moved into the closed position.

[0013] The sealing element at the rear in the direction of movement, which is arranged on the edge finishing profile, which is still in front of the wall in the closed position of the glass sliding element and comes into contact with the profile element, can be designed so long that it just does not touch the wall and grinds against it, but comes into contact with a leg of the profile element in a sealing manner if possible when the glass sliding element has been moved into the closed position.

[0014] To further seal the wall opening and, in particular, further improve the sound insulation of the wall opening with the sliding glass element, the sliding glass element has a lower edge on which a floor sealing element is arranged, closing a gap between the lower edge and a floor. It is particularly advantageous if a lower edge finishing profile is arranged on the lower edge, which is designed similarly to the edge finishing profile, and the floor sealing element is arranged in a simple manner on the lower edge finishing profile.

[0015] The lower edge finishing profile can have a profile section that is essentially C-shaped and can also encompass a front side of the glass element. Another section of the lower edge finishing profile forms a guide groove into which a guide section of a floor guide means can be inserted. Guide bodies, for example, made of felt or Teflon, are particularly advantageously arranged on the floor guide means in the area of ​​the guide section.

[0016] The floor guide means is preferably designed as a metal bracket and can be attached to the profile element arranged on the wall, for example by screwing. The floor guide means has an approximately J-shaped structure in its lower section, on which the guide bodies are finally arranged at the lower free end. Because the lower edge finishing profile also surrounds the front of the sliding glass element, the rear profile section which forms the guide groove is not visible or only partially visible to an observer. Below the lower edge finishing profile, which surrounds the sliding glass element, there is the floor sealing element which can be designed as a broom, a plastic lip, or as a sealing element or sealing rubber in the broadest sense.The floor sealing element extends across the entire width of the sliding glass element and points toward the floor. This element can have a gap between the glass element and the floor, or it can press gently against the floor, allowing the sliding glass element to still be easily moved manually. Thanks to the special mount on the bottom edge profile, the floor sealing element can be easily replaced and positioned at different heights.

[0017] A further advantage is achieved if a sealing strip is arranged on the receiving arrangement for movably receiving the glass sliding element, the sealing edge of which is directed from an inner side against the glass sliding element. The inner side forms the side of the glass sliding element that faces the wall. The sealing strip is advantageously glued to the underside of a support profile, whereby the support profile forms, for example, a section of the basic structure of the receiving arrangement. The distance between the longitudinal edge of the sealing strip and the glass sliding element can be, for example, 0.5 mm to 1.5 mm and preferably 1 mm. By arranging the sealing strip on the support profile of the receiving arrangement, the edge of the glass sliding element is completely closed, so that a particularly efficient sealing effect of the wall opening is achieved by the glass sliding element when it is in the closed position.

[0018] Further developments, advantages, and possible applications of the invention will become apparent from the following description of exemplary embodiments and from the figures. All described and / or illustrated features, individually or in any combination, are fundamentally part of the invention, regardless of their summary in the claims or their reference back to them. The content of the claims is also incorporated into the description.

[0019] Further measures improving the invention are described in more detail below, together with the description of a preferred embodiment of the invention, with reference to the figures. They show: Fig. 1 shows an example of a view of the entire glass sliding door system with a glass sliding element in a closed position, Fig. 2 shows an example of a detailed view of the glass sliding element in the closed position with a first sealing element arranged on the glass sliding element, Fig. 3 shows an example of a detailed view of the glass sliding element with a second sealing element arranged on it, Fig. 4 shows an example of a detailed view of the glass sliding element in the area of ​​the floor, Fig. 5 shows an example of a detailed view of a floor guide means arranged on a profile element on a wall and Fig. 6 shows an example of a cross-sectional view of the receiving arrangement with a support profile to which a sealing strip is attached.

[0020] Fig. 1shows, by way of example, a glass sliding door system 1 arranged on a wall 12. The glass sliding door system 1 has, as essential components, a glass sliding element 10 and a receiving arrangement 11, wherein the receiving arrangement 11 is fastened to a wall 12 on top of a wall opening 13. A wall opening 13 is located in the wall 12, and the glass sliding element 10 is shown in an open position, such that the glass sliding element 10 exposes the essential area of ​​the wall opening 13. The receiving arrangement 10 extends both over the area of ​​the wall opening 13 and over an adjacent area, such that the glass sliding element 10 can be moved between an open position, as shown, and a closed position, wherein the glass sliding element 10 completely covers the wall opening 13 in the closed position.

[0021] The glass sliding element 10 is rectangular and arranged approximately parallel to the wall 12. The rectangular design of the glass sliding element 10 has elongated, vertically extending side edges 14, and the bottom of the glass sliding element 10 is defined by a lower edge 21. On the top side, the glass sliding element 10 is guided in the receiving arrangement 11, for example, via a roller guide, which is not shown in detail.

[0022] The side edges 14 have edge finishing profiles 20, and due to the perspective, a sealing element 15 is visible on the front edge finishing profile 20, which is also arranged on the rear side of the side edge 14. On the underside, at the lower edge 21, there is a lower edge finishing profile 25, with all profiles 20 and 25 partially encompassing the side edges 14 and the lower edge 21 of the sliding glass element 10, thus forming an optical frame for the sliding glass element 10.

[0023] In Fig. 2 A detailed view of the glass sliding element 10 is shown, which is in a closed position in front of the wall opening 13 in the wall 12. A sealing element 15 is arranged on the glass sliding element 10. This sealing element is designed so long that it protrudes in the direction of the wall opening 13 or into the wall opening 13, protruding from the surface of the glass sliding element 10, so that the sealing element 15, in the closed position shown, comes to rest laterally against an opening cheek 17 of the wall opening 13. This allows a gap 16 between the glass sliding element 10 and the wall 12 to be sealed.

[0024] The illustration further shows the edge finishing profile 20 arranged on the side edge 14 of the sliding glass element 10, which also surrounds the side edge 14 on the front side in a C-shape, and on the back side the edge finishing profile 20 has a receptacle to which the sealing element 15 is fastened.

[0025] Fig. 3 shows the glass sliding element 10 in the area of ​​the with reference to Fig. 2 opposite side edge 14, on which an edge finishing profile 20 is also arranged. The edge finishing profile 20 also surrounds the sliding glass element 10, and the sealing element 19 is received on the back side of the edge finishing profile 20.

[0026] A profile element 18 is attached to the wall 12, extending vertically and located approximately in the area behind the vertically extending side edge 14 of the sliding glass element 10. The profile element 18 is arranged adjacent to the beginning of the wall opening, which is delimited by the opening cheek 17.

[0027] In the closed position shown, the sealing element 19 also comes into contact. For this purpose, the profile element 18 has, for example, an approximately L-shaped shape, so that the sealing element 19 comes into contact laterally against the short L-leg. Consequently, both side edges 14 on the rear side are sealed toward the wall 12.

[0028] Fig. 4shows the lower section of the sliding glass element 10, which points towards the floor 24. The sliding glass element 10 is provided with a lower edge finishing profile 25 in the area of ​​the lower edge 21, which surrounds the lower edge 21 in a C-shape. A floor sealing element 22 is arranged on the lower edge finishing profile 25 and bridges a floor gap 23. The floor sealing element 22 consists, for example, of a rubber lip, a tightly worked broom, or a plastic strip, which either extends almost to the floor 24 or the floor sealing element 22 presses onto the floor itself with a slight pressure force. The lower edge finishing profile 25 serves both to surround the lower edge 21 of the sliding glass element 10 and to hold the floor sealing element 22 in place.

[0029] The lower edge finishing profile 25 is formed on the rear side of the sliding glass element 10, which faces toward the wall 12, with a further profile section 27. The profile section 27 has a downwardly open U-shape into which a guide section 28 of a floor guide 26 is inserted. To guide the sliding glass element 10, guide bodies 29 made of felt or Teflon are attached to the sides of the guide section 28, enabling precise and quiet guidance of the sliding glass element 10 between the closed and opened positions. The floor guide 26 is arranged, for example, on the profile element 18; in particular, the floor guide 26 can be screwed to the profile element 18 or directly to the wall 12.

[0030] Fig. 5shows an arrangement of the profile element 18 with the floor guide means 26 on the wall 12 adjacent to the opening cheek 17 of the wall opening. The illustration shows, from a wider perspective, the approximately J-shaped floor guide means 26 with the lower guide section 28, on which the guide bodies 29 are arranged. The profile element 18 has screw openings 33 formed at regular intervals through which screw elements can be passed in order to screw the profile element 18 to the wall 12. Further screw openings 34 are located in the upper region of the floor guide means 26 for screwing the same to the profile element 18 or to or on the wall 12.

[0031] Fig. 6shows, by way of example, a schematic cross-sectional view through the receiving arrangement 11 of the glass sliding door system. The receiving arrangement 11 has a base profile 35 as the base body, which is fastened to the wall 12 in a manner not shown in detail, for example by screwing. The base profile 35 has a support profile section 32 as the lower end, and a sealing strip 30 is arranged on the underside of the support profile section 32. The sealing strip 30 is glued to the support profile section 32 and has a sealing edge 31, which has a distance A from the glass sliding element 10 of, for example, 1 mm.

[0032] The invention is not limited in its implementation to the preferred embodiment described above. Rather, a number of variants are conceivable, which utilize the presented solution even in fundamentally different embodiments. All features and / or advantages apparent from the claims, the description, or the drawings, including structural details or spatial arrangements, may be essential to the invention both individually and in a wide variety of combinations.
