Description

FIELD OF THE INVENTION

[0001] The invention relates to a door system according to the preamble of claim 1, a lift-fold system according to the preamble of claim 3 and a roll system according to the preamble of claim 5. The systems comprise at least one vertically or vertically / horizontally movable or pivotable and liftable (door, lift-fold or roll) surface element for closing a door / window or building opening and a (door, lift-fold or roll) guide arrangement for guiding the (door, lift-fold or roll) surface element during a vertical movement of the (door, lift-fold or roll) surface element.

[0002] For example, in sectional doors, the movement of the surface element is initially vertically oriented when opening, and when the surface element reaches the upper edge of the door, the orientation changes: In this area, the surface element moves along a curved or inclined guide with a horizontally oriented movement component.

[0003] The (door, lift-fold, or roller) surface element is formed from multiple parts and comprises a first and at least one further, in particular a second, surface segment. The first and the further, in particular second, surface segment are arranged horizontally next to one another in the closed position. In a two-part arrangement, the door leaf or roller shutter or door curtain or the lift-fold arrangement would be divided into a left and a right segment. In a three-part arrangement, the surface element comprises a left, a middle, and a right segment. In a four-part arrangement, two outer segments (left and right outer) and two middle segments (left center, right center) would be provided. A corresponding segmentation would be provided for arrangements with more than four segments. The arrangement can comprise a plurality of segments, for example, 20, 50, or more than 50 segments.In a closed arrangement, the segments are not arranged one above the other, but exclusively horizontally next to each other and in a horizontal alignment or in a segment plane that is perpendicular to the foundation or to the (floor or storey) surface.

[0004] The (door, lift-fold, or roll) guide assembly comprises two outer guides, in particular suspended from a supporting structure, and at least one intermediate guide, in particular suspended from a supporting structure. The outer guide is arranged laterally on the outer sides of the (door, lift-fold, or roll) surface element(s). The intermediate guide is arranged between the first surface segment and the adjacent further, in particular second, surface segment.

[0005] The invention further relates to a separation arrangement according to the preamble of claim 15. The separation arrangement accordingly serves to separate or subdivide a building or part of a building into at least two sub-areas.

[0006] The invention also relates to a fence arrangement according to the preamble of claim 16. The fence arrangement accordingly serves to separate or subdivide a property or property area into at least two sub-areas.

[0007] Finally, the invention relates to a use of a (gate, lift-folding or rolling) system described herein according to claim 17. TECHNOLOGICAL BACKGROUND

[0008] For large, particularly wide, gate or window openings, either a wide gate or a wide (window) shutter can be installed, or an arrangement consisting of several gates or (window) shutters arranged next to each other can be used. If a wide gate or window locking system is installed, only the entire gate or window opening can be opened or closed. This is often disadvantageous due to ecological or safety considerations. In an arrangement consisting of several systems positioned next to each other, individual gates or shutters of the system can be opened separately, which is often practical for ecological or safety reasons. By only opening part of the wide gate or the wide window, the other sections remain closed, so that less heat / cold escapes through the open area when the system is opened.A wide window or a wide passage / throughway is also better protected against wind or violent impacts with several gates / shutters arranged next to each other.

[0009] A disadvantage of the system with multiple, adjacent gates / shutters is that, when the system is fully open, one or more vertical guide rails for the gates / shutters are always present in the building opening. This means that the effective width of the opening is determined by the position / orientation of the guide rail(s). This is problematic, for example, in a wide garage or at the entrance to a hall or hangar, since the maximum vehicle or aircraft width, or the maneuvering area, is determined by the distance between the guide rails and not by the overall width of the building opening. This is where the invention comes in. PRESENTATION OF THE INVENTION

[0010] Against this background, the technical problem to be solved is to specify measures with which wide areas on a property, in particular in a building, can be separated from other areas in an ecologically expedient and at the same time safe manner such that the width of the separation is not restricted by disruptive guide means. This problem is solved by a system according to claims 1, 3 and 5. Embodiments of the invention are the subject of the dependent and auxiliary claims. Accordingly, in the door system according to claim 1, it is provided that the (hanging) outer guide and / or the (hanging) intermediate guide is formed in several parts and comprises / comprises at least two, in particular several, guide segments, and that the guide segments of the outer guide and / or the intermediate guide are / are vertically movable at least in sections.This ensures that the segments are stably guided, namely on the outside in the outer guides and between the outer guides in the intermediate guide(s). For example, in an arrangement with two surface segments, the guide segments of the (single) intermediate guide are vertically movable, allowing the intermediate element to be moved upwards (or downwards) as needed, so that no obstructive guide rail remains along the full or almost full width of the door opening.

[0011] A support structure, from which the (outer and / or intermediate) guides can be suspended, can be attached to a building wall, or to the ceiling or roof of the building. The support structure can also be fixed to the floor and, if necessary, supported laterally. The support structure can comprise several mechanically interconnected support elements. By arranging the outer and intermediate guides suspended from the support structure, for example, they, like the surface segments, can be moved upwards, e.g., using a telescopic rail configuration, to open the door / lift-fold / roll system, creating a large and uninterrupted opening.In the suspended construction, when closed, the (outer and intermediate) guides, which are fully lowered and rest on the floor or locked in the floor area, provide sufficient stability for the surface elements, which are also fully lowered, so that when closed, a stable (door / lift-folding / rolling) system is arranged on the (hall or site) floor.

[0012] The full width of the door opening is available for passage or access, allowing wide objects, vehicles, or equipment to be maneuvered through the door and within the door opening area. If only part of the door is to be used, for example, only one of the surface segments can be opened, while the other or the others remain closed. In this case, it is not necessary to move the guide segments of an intermediate element up or down, i.e., out of the entire door opening.

[0013] The gate system ensures stable and secure closure of the wide gate opening, as the gate leaf or gate curtain is securely and stably mounted and guided both externally and in the area of ​​the intermediate guide(s). The gate leaf itself can comprise a frame that, to save material and weight, can be covered with a textile, foil, or (wire) mesh. Paneling can also be provided, for example, with panels (insulated panels), particularly multi-layered ones. This arrangement provides privacy, but also offers good protection against wind and against unauthorized entry or burglary. The intermediate guides can be anchored and / or locked in the ground or in the ground area when closed. Locking / locking can be achieved by means of (pin) bolts in a bolt receptacle formed as a (ground) sleeve.

[0014] When the wide door opening is opened, a partial area can be opened, for example, an area on the far left or right, or a section between the left and right edges of the door, such as a central area. This ensures that less heat (in a heated building) or cold (in an air-conditioned building) escapes through the door opening. This saves energy and contributes to reducing environmental impact.

[0015] The door system can be designed as a lifting door or sectional door, in particular for a garage or a hangar or a hall, for example for a hall in a maintenance workshop for rail vehicles or for vehicle trains made up of rail vehicles. In a lifting door, the horizontally adjacent surface segments are moved vertically along a straight guide upwards, i.e. over the upper edge of the door, or downwards, i.e. over the lower edge of the door, for example into a corresponding recess in the floor or foundation. Each surface segment of the lifting door can be formed in one piece or in multiple parts. The lifting door preferably comprises one-piece segments which can be moved upwards for opening. With this arrangement, a corresponding amount of space is required in the area of ​​the lintel above the clear height of the door opening.If less space is required above the lintel, the door system can be designed as a sectional door, with each surface segment comprising several vertically adjacent sections that are pivotally connected to one another. When opened, the sections move upwards and describe a curved or inclined path in the area of ​​the lintel, usually with a 90° deflection, so that the door sections in the area of ​​the lintel are deflected in a horizontal direction of movement. With this arrangement, it is useful if the guide segments are also deflected using suitable guide means so that the upper space requirement of the guide segments roughly corresponds to that of the sections of the surface segments. It can be useful if the sections are staggered, i.e. several sections form a staggered section or group. The rail or guide of the guide segments should be continuous - at least in the closed position.

[0016] The door system can, for example, comprise four adjacent surface segments: one segment is located on the outside left, one segment is located on the outside right, and two middle segments are located in between (center left and center right). Five guides are provided for the four segments: one left outer guide, one right outer guide, and three intermediate guides. The left outer segment is guided between the left outer guide and a left intermediate guide, while the right outer segment is guided by the right outer guide and the right intermediate guide. The middle segments are guided by the left and right intermediate guides, as well as by the middle intermediate guide. With this arrangement, it can be useful if only the intermediate guides are formed from guide segments.If necessary, the entire door system can be opened, in which case all surface segments are moved up (or down) along with the guide segments of all intermediate guides. With this complete opening, the entire width of the door opening is available for use or for passage. If only a section of the door width is required, for example, only the left half of the door can be opened, with only the surface segments on the outside left and middle left being moved up (or down). In addition, the left intermediate guide is moved up (or down), while the other intermediate guides can remain in the closed position. This means that although only half the door width is available, only half of the door area is exposed when it is opened, which means noticeably less heat / cold passes through the opening.This and the fact that there is less load for opening / closing has a positive effect on the ecological aspects of the gate technology and gate use.

[0017] Separating a wide area of ​​a property, particularly a building, from other areas without restriction by obstructive guide means is achieved in an ecologically expedient and simultaneously safe manner by means of a lift-and-fold system according to claim 3. Here, too, the outer guide and / or the intermediate guide are formed in multiple parts and comprise at least two, in particular several, guide segments, wherein the guide segments of the outer guide and / or the intermediate guide are vertically movable at least in sections. The lift-and-fold system can preferably be designed as a lift-and-fold door or lift-and-fold shutter, particularly for a garage, a hall, or a hangar.

[0018] Separating a wide area of ​​a property, particularly a building, from other areas without restriction by obstructive guides is achieved in an ecologically expedient and simultaneously safe manner using a rolling system according to claim 5. Here, too, the outer guide and / or the intermediate guide are formed from multiple parts and comprise at least two, particularly several, guide segments, wherein the guide segments of the outer guide and / or the intermediate guide are vertically movable at least in sections. The rolling system can be designed as a rolling door or roller shutter, particularly for a garage, a hall, or a hangar.

[0019] Separating a large area of ​​a property, particularly within a building, from other areas, without restriction by obstructive guides, is achieved in an ecologically sound and simultaneously safe manner using a hybrid system, which comprises a combination - at least in terms of components - of the door system described herein, a lift-and-fold system, and / or a roller system. For example, a roller shutter / roller door can be combined with at least one (large-area) fixed surface element, whereby the guide in the guide segments should be movable, extendable, and / or telescopic, with a uniform guide profile in the closed position. The door leaf can therefore consist of a lower (large) surface element section, above and / or on which several sections or roller shutter bars (or profiles) of a sectional door section or roller shutter or roller door section are arranged.

[0020] In a preferred embodiment of the (gate, lift-folding, or rolling) system, the guide segments can be movable relative to one another in a telescopic or telescopic rail-like manner. The guide segments can comprise an L-shaped, U-shaped, or box-shaped (metal) profile, wherein the profiles of the segments are arranged in sections next to one another and / or inside one another and can be moved relative to one another during opening / closing such that in the open (gate system, lift-folding system, or rolling system) position, significantly less space is required by the segments of the outer / intermediate guides than in the closed position. Guide rollers can be provided in or on the telescopic (rail) guides. Each guide roller can comprise a ball bearing or be mounted in a ball bearing.

[0021] Therefore, very little installation space is required to arrange the guide segments, which are pushed into one another or together, or telescoped, or retracted like telescopic rails, above the door head (or below the door edge) after the (door, lift-fold, or roll-up) system has been opened. It may be advantageous if the guide segments of an (outer or intermediate) guide are coupled to at least one surface element or to at least one segment of a surface element, so that the surface segment and the adjacent guide can be moved up or down together during opening / closing.

[0022] Particularly for sectional doors with surface segments encompassing sections, it can be useful for the guide segments to be movable along a partially curved, inclined, or angled guide path. In this respect, the guide path of the sections of the surface segments and that of the segments of the (outer or intermediate) guide can be identical or at least similar.

[0023] In a preferred embodiment, the guide segments are movable simultaneously with the corresponding surface segments. Alternatively, it may be expedient for the guide segments to be movable independently of the (neighboring) surface segments. This increases the variability of the arrangement. For example, with an arrangement consisting of a plurality of surface segments, individual segments can be moved independently of the rest of the segments. If necessary, one or more of the intermediate guides are moved (along with) the other segments.

[0024] At least one intermediate guide can be drive- and / or mechanically coupled to at least one adjacent surface segment. The surface segments of the (door, lift-fold, or roller) system can be moved via the guide segments of the (intermediate) guide(s), for example, coupled to a single drive. If, for example, multiple intermediate guides are provided, the surface segments can also be operated individually.

[0025] In a preferred embodiment of the (door, lift-fold, or roll-up) system, a system control can be provided. The system control can control whether one, several, or all of the surface segments are actuated when the system is opened / closed. The control can therefore control whether one, several, or all of the surface elements and / or one or more outer guides and / or one or more intermediate guides are actuated when the system is opened / closed.

[0026] To further improve the safety of the (door, lift-folding, or rolling) system, a safety device can be provided to prevent a collision of a surface segment and / or a guide segment with a person and / or an obstacle, in particular comprising at least one light barrier and / or at least one pulse circuit. The safety device can comprise a deadman's device. In addition, the lower main closing edge of the surface segments, optionally including the guide segments, can preferably be secured across the entire width of the arrangement, for example by means of light barrier(s). The safety device can be suitable for generating a radio command to a definable receiver if triggered.An automatic impulse closure can be provided, in which leading safety light barriers are provided on the lower main closing edge, whereby the segments / elements and / or the guide rails or segments are protected.

[0027] To further improve the safety of the door / lift-fold / roll assembly, it may be advantageous to have an integrated, lockable opening, particularly a wicket door or emergency exit, in at least one surface segment. The wicket door can be constructed in multiple parts, for example, if it extends vertically across several sections of a surface segment.

[0028] Additional stability against wind and break-ins is provided if a locking device is installed on at least one of the lower guide segments, which can be used, for example, to lock at least one intermediate guide in the floor area. The locking device can comprise a pin that can be arranged in a (floor-side) receptacle or sleeve. The locking device can be coupled to the lifting mechanism, so that the locking mechanism is released when the (door, lift-folding, or rolling) system is opened and locked when it is closed.

[0029] According to a preferred variant of the (gate, lift-folding or rolling) system, it can be provided that the surface segments and the guide segments can be actuated by a common drive, or that each surface segment and each outer guide and / or each intermediate guide can be actuated with separate drives. If a common drive is provided, the surface segment and guide are moved together, especially if they are mechanically coupled. If a mechanical decoupling device is provided, individual (surface and / or guide) segments can be left out during movement by means of a common drive. If separate drives are provided for the segments, individual surface segments and / or individual (intermediate) guides or specific guide segments can be actuated when opening / closing the system.Depending on the requirements and application, a mechanical coupling between at least one surface segment and one or more adjacent guides or several guide segments may also be appropriate. All drives can have their own motor. Alternatively, all drives can have a common motor, possibly with a gear unit for application-specific transmission of the motor power to, for example, cables and pulleys of the system components.

[0030] Separating a wide area on a property, in particular in a building, from other areas, without restriction by disruptive guide means, is achieved in an ecologically expedient and at the same time safe manner by means of a partition arrangement according to claim 15. The partition arrangement serves to separate a building or part of a building into at least two sub-areas. The partition arrangement comprises at least one gate, lift-fold and / or roller system described herein. In large buildings, such as in a hall, the partition arrangement can comprise a plurality, for example 10, 20 or 50 or more gate, lift-fold or roller systems. The partition arrangement can exclusively comprise gate systems (described herein) or lift-fold systems (described herein) or roller systems (described herein), or a combination of gate systems (described herein), lift-fold systems and / or roller systems (described herein).

[0031] The partition arrangement can be used, for example, to separate a first maintenance and repair area of ​​a workshop or maintenance hall, for example for rail vehicles or rail vehicle trains, comprising several coupled rail vehicles such as a locomotive and (passenger and / or freight) wagons, from an adjacent second maintenance and repair area of ​​the workshop / maintenance hall. If bulky objects need to be moved between two maintenance measures in the maintenance and repair areas, for example with an industrial truck or forklift, or if the floor of the workshop / maintenance hall needs to be completely cleaned, the partition arrangement can be fully opened, including the intermediate guides, so that there are no disruptive obstacles in the form of guide rails in the shunting area of ​​the objects between the adjacent maintenance areas.During maintenance and repair work, for example during welding work, the separating arrangement can be closed so that the adjacent maintenance and repair areas are spatially separated from one another by the separating arrangement and so that the maintenance measures in the first maintenance area do not affect the maintenance measures in the adjacent second area.

[0032] Another application example is the spatial separation between the kitchen area of ​​a cafeteria and the public area. During meal service, a partition arrangement arranged between these canteen areas can be opened. In this example, the partition arrangement can comprise exclusively roller systems (roller shutters) (as described here). During busy periods (lunch), it may be expedient to open the arrangement across its entire width. During lighter periods in the cafeteria / canteen (for example, at breakfast or snacks), it may be safer and more hygienic for the kitchen if only a portion of the partition arrangement between the kitchen and public area is opened. Because the guide segments of the intermediate guides of the arrangement can also be moved, i.e., "opened," as needed, the public is not disturbed by intrusive guide rails when ordering and / or receiving meals.

[0033] The partition assembly, in particular the surface and / or guide segments, can be equipped with a screen and / or textile, optionally with filling, paneling, insulation, soundproofing, and / or window(s). The partition assembly can be designed so that it can be arranged flush in or on a facade.

[0034] Separating a large area on a property, particularly on or adjacent to a building, from other areas, without restriction by disruptive guide means, is achieved in an ecologically expedient and at the same time safe manner by means of a fence arrangement according to claim 16. The fence arrangement serves to separate a property or property area into at least two sub-areas. The fence arrangement comprises at least one gate, lift-folding and / or rolling system as described herein. If necessary, the entire fence or just a section of the fence can be opened. This is useful, for example, in event facilities, sports facilities, or leisure facilities. The (partition or fence) arrangement can be used indoors or outdoors. Depending on requirements and application, at least one wicket door or an emergency exit can be provided in the (partition or fence) arrangement described herein.

[0035] According to claim 17, a wide area on a property, particularly in a building, can be separated from other areas in an ecologically sound and safe manner, without restriction by obstructive guide means, by using a gate, lift-folding, and / or rolling system described herein. The system is therefore used as a room, hall, or area partition arrangement for dividing an area, a room, or a hall into at least two area, room, or hall areas. Furthermore, the arrangement can be used to form a closure for a (building) facade or (building) wall.

[0036] The systems (gates, lift-folding, or rolling) and / or (partition or fence) arrangements described herein can be used in a variety of ways. For example, where energy-related reasons often require only a narrow opening, e.g., for forklift traffic, the systems and arrangements described herein can be used to create a larger maneuvering or space-utilization area by increasing the (standard) width of the opening of the system or arrangement.The systems / arrangements are suitable for hall partitioning for events of various sizes, in production areas, for aircraft hangars, for assembly halls, for test areas in factory halls, for separation into "clean" and "dirty" areas (work and clean areas), for temporary demarcation of "clean" assembly areas, for discretion and security areas with special access authorizations in (event) halls, for temporary demarcation of rooms, for demarcation of long goods racks (for shorter goods, such as machine components such as profiles or the like, only a partial width of the systems / arrangements would need to be operated) and / or for sealing off or wind protection of stands in arenas / stadiums.

[0037] The aforementioned components to be used according to the invention, as well as those claimed and described in the exemplary embodiments, are not subject to any special exceptional conditions in terms of their size, shape, material selection and technical conception, so that the selection criteria known in the field of application can be applied without restriction.

[0038] Further details, features, and advantages of the subject matter of the invention emerge from the dependent claims, as well as from the following description and the accompanying drawing, which illustrates, by way of example, an embodiment of a separating arrangement. Individual features of the claims or embodiments can also be combined with other features of other claims and embodiments. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE CHARACTERS

[0039] In the drawing show Fig. 1a section of a lifting folding system in front view, Fig. 2a lifting folding system according to Fig. 1 in side sectional view, Fig. 3 a side sectional view of a lifting folding system according to the Figures 1 and 2 in open position, Fig. 4 a separating arrangement in front view, Fig. 5 a separating arrangement according to Fig. 4 in lateral sectional view, Fig. 6 a side view of a separating arrangement according to the Figures 4 and 5 in open position and Fig. 7 a maintenance hall in a side schematic representation. DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF EMBODIMENTS

[0040] The Figures 1 to 3 show different views of a lifting folding system 1. Fig. 1shows a section of a front view of the lifting-folding system 1, which comprises lifting-folding surface elements 2, which can be moved vertically upwards for opening and vertically downwards for closing. The surface elements 2 are connected to one another by hinges and assume a V-shaped position when opened (see Fig. 3 ). The lifting folding system 1 according to the Figures 1 to 3 comprises several aligned and adjacent surface segments 3, which can be opened or closed independently of each other. The surface segments 3 each form a sub-area of ​​the lifting and folding system 1, whereby each sub-area of ​​the lifting and folding system 1 can be operated separately. Optionally, all surface segments 3 can be opened or closed simultaneously, if the user so desires. According to Fig. 1The surface elements 3 are arranged in or parallel to the drawing plane. The outer surface segments 3 are guided vertically on external guides, and intermediate guides 4 are arranged between each two adjacent surface segments 3.

[0041] The intermediate guides 4 are formed from several guide segments 5, which are arranged in the vertical direction, ie according to the Figures 1 to 3 in or parallel to the drawing plane. This allows the guides 4, for example, together with one or both adjacent surface segments 3, to be moved upwards when opening and downwards when closing. Fig. 2shows a side sectional view of the lifting-folding system 1, in which the lifting-folding system 1 is closed, and in which the guide segments 5 are also arranged in the closed position, so that the lower guide segment 5 has contact with the floor 6. There, the guide segment 5 can be locked or is locked in the floor 6 or in the foundation of the arrangement by means of a locking device 7.

[0042] Fig. 3 shows a position of the lifting-folding system 1, in which the surface segments 3 and the guide segments 5 are open. According to Fig. 3 The lifting and folding system 1 is open across its entire width and offers maximum passage or maximum throughput, in particular maximum maneuvering space, for example for vehicles or forklifts or the like. The guide segments 5 of the intermediate guides 4 are designed according to Fig. 3moved upwards toward the lintel 8, and after the guide segments 5 move into the open position, the guide segments 5 are arranged at least partially within one another, similar to a telescopic tube or a telescopic rail guide. When the lift-fold system 1 is closed, the guide segments 5, which are arranged within one another like telescopic rails, are pushed apart in a vertically downward direction and then form one of the intermediate guides 4 for the surface segments 3.

[0043] The Figures 4 to 6 show a partition arrangement 9 with a gate system 10 with several lifting gates 11 arranged next to one another with vertically upward or downward (ie in or parallel to the plane of the drawing) movable gate leaves. Each lifting gate 11 according to the Figures 4 to 6comprises a single-piece door leaf, but multi-piece door leaves or a sectioned door leaf can also be provided, similar to a sectional door. The door leaves form the surface segments 3 of the door system 10, with the outer surface segments 3 being arranged on the outside, ie at the left and right ends of the arrangement according to Fig. 4 , are guided in external guides 12, and wherein two adjacent surface segments 3 are each guided in a common intermediate guide 4. The intermediate guide 4 comprises a plurality of guide segments 5, which can be moved relative to one another like a telescopic rail when opening / closing the arrangement 9, for example in the vertical direction (upwards for opening, downwards for closing).

[0044] The partition arrangement 9 includes a wicket door 13, which is arranged in one of the surface segments 3. The wicket door 13 can be used as an emergency exit.

[0045] The partition arrangement 9 can comprise a plurality of surface segments 3 and intermediate guides 4. The (outer and / or intermediate) guides can be suspended from a supporting structure, and several segments 3 can be movable by a drive arranged on the supporting structure. The structure 9 allows, for example, a partition or gate arrangement several hundred meters long to be realized, wherein, in the fully open state, there is no interruption of the opening across the entire width of the opening, which extends over hundreds of meters, since the intermediate guides 4 are vertically movable like telescopic rails.

[0046] Fig. 7shows a schematic side view of a maintenance workshop or a maintenance hall 14 for rail vehicles 15. The hall 14 comprises two adjacent maintenance areas 16, in each of which a rail vehicle 15 can be arranged on a track 17. The maintenance areas 16 are equipped with dividing arrangements 9 on the sides. On the outside, the dividing arrangements 9 each comprise a lifting and folding system 1, and on the inside, the dividing arrangements 9 each comprise a gate system 10 with lifting gates 11. The dividing arrangements 9 in the area of ​​the first track 17 are in Fig. 7 shown in the open position, the separating arrangements 9 of the second track body 17 (in Fig. 7The right track bed 17) is shown in the closed position. The separating assemblies 9 protect the maintenance areas 16 so that maintenance work in the first maintenance area 16 is not disrupted by maintenance work in the second maintenance area 16. If necessary, the separating assemblies 9 can be opened so that there is sufficient space around the respective track bed 17 for shunting or for moving large, long, and / or bulky spare parts.

[0047] If the clear height above the lifting gate is too low, an alternative lift-folding system can be designed, which can be moved above the gate leaf in a more space-saving manner.

[0048] The guide segments 5 and / or the surface segments 3 can be moved by one or more electrically operated drives. If multiple drives are provided, it may be expedient if, for example, two or three (horizontally) adjacent surface segments, i.e., a group of four or six adjacent segments 3, 5, are movable via a common drive. The drive(s) can be controlled / regulated via a control device.

[0049] Several segments 3, 5 can be connected to one another in terms of drive technology by one or more (drive) shafts and / or by means of one or more mechanical couplings.

[0050] At least one cable guide or a toothed belt arrangement can be provided for moving the segments / elements 3, 5. Cables are preferably provided as traction means. In the lift-folding systems 1 or systems with lift-folding arrangements (2), toothed belts can also be used, particularly for locking, for example, if the weight force acting on the rail / segments / elements is insufficient. Cables or toothed belts can be guided, for example, within the segments / elements 3, 5 or to the side of them. LIST OF REFERENCE SYMBOLS
