Description

[0001] Sliding door or sliding window

[0002] The invention relates to a sliding door or sliding window according to the preamble of claim 1.

[0003] Sliding doors and windows - hereinafter referred to synonymously as sliding doors - generally comprise seals that seal the movable door wing(s) to keep a room sealed from the surroundings or another space when the door wing is closed. The counter seal surface is the blind frame, which is installed in a building opening.

[0004] In the case of sliding doors, the problem with realising these seals as movement seals is that they are subject to considerable frictional wear, as the sliding wing is moved parallel to the main direction of extension of the seals and rubs against them.

[0005] To minimise frictional wear of these seals, lifting sliding doors have been developed in which the sliding wing or active panel or leaf is lifted and then moved. As a result, the seal is no longer in contact with the active panel after lifting. The disadvantage of this design is that a corresponding device for lifting the entire sliding wing must be designed to be correspondingly robust and thus consume installation space.

[0006] Seals have therefore been developed that generate a sealing force by being expanded with a compressed fluid - preferably compressed air - so that they bridge a gap to be sealed and, upon further expansion, mould themselves to a counter seal surface while exerting a normal or sealing force, thus sealing a gap between the sliding wing and the blind frame. Such a seal is described in DE 10 2019 123 451 A1.

[0007] Furthermore, solutions are known from the prior art in which seals are moved by a suitable device in such a way that they bridge a sealing gap between the sliding wing and the blind frame. The advantage of these solutions is that no compressed fluid, in particular compressed air, needs to be generated for the seal to function.

[0008] DE 1 509 280 A1 discloses a door seal that is arranged recessed in the floor under the door frame when the door is open, so that the door seal forms a plane with the floor when the door is open. When the door is closed, the door seal is pressed against or next to the bottom surface of the door by a lever mechanism. The disadvantage of this is that no cover is provided for the seal and the lever mechanism.

[0009] DE 3346 735 A1 describes a floor or ceiling seal for folding or sliding doors or walls. The wings of the folding or sliding doors or walls are displaceable on support rails in the closing direction and are provided with sealing lips arranged parallel to the closing direction of the wings. When the door wings are closed, counter seal surfaces can be swivelled against the sealing lips from a resting position to a sealing position by means of a motorised lever device. The disadvantage of this solution is that the counter seal surfaces lie unprotected in the threshold area of such a folding or sliding door or wall and can easily be damaged there.

[0010] DE 202012 011 998 U1 discloses a sliding door in which seals are arranged on a vertical wing frame portion, each of which can be brought from a rest position into a sealing position with a device when the wing is closed. The toggle mechanism is actuated by a mechanism with which the wings can be locked in the closed position.

[0011] DE 102013 206 881 A1 describes sliding doors in which the wings of the sliding doors are displaceable on support rails in the closing direction. Swivelling sealing lips are arranged in a horizontally arranged blind frame, which can be designed as a door sill on the floor side, which can be swivelled with a sliding crank device when the wings are closed from a resting position into a sealing position against a counter seal surface on the respective wing. The disadvantage of this solution is that the sealing lips in the floor area are unprotected in the threshold area of such a sliding door and can easily be damaged there.

[0012] The invention has the object of at least partially remedying these problems and creating a sliding door in which a good sealing effect is achieved by simple means both between neighbouring spaces adjacent to the sliding door and, if necessary, also between an indoor and outdoor environment separated by the sliding door.

[0013] This problem is solved by the subject matter of claim 1 .

[0014] Accordingly, a sliding door or sliding window is created which can be installed in a vertical alignment in a building opening, i.e. in an opening of a building, and which comprises at least the following:

[0015] - at least one sliding wing comprising a wing frame,

[0016] - a blind frame that is fixable to the building, the blind frame comprising at least one guide rail on which the at least one sliding wing is slideably guided,

[0017] - whereby the wing frame is sealed against the blind frame with the guide rail at its lower frame end in the mounted position,

[0018] - wherein at least one lifting seal is provided on the wing frame, which can be placed against the wing frame by a device associated with it for lifting and lowering the lifting seal into a sealing position, so that it then seals a gap between the wing frame and the blind frame,

[0019] - and wherein the device for lifting and lowering the lifting seal can be actuated by the sliding wing itself as a drive or by a separate drive, wherein the sliding wing can be moved from an open position into a closed position and vice versa, and wherein the lifting seal can be brought from an unsealed position into a sealed position or vice versa by means of the device for lifting and lowering the lifting seal.

[0020] By means of the device for lifting and lowering the lifting seal, which thus travels in particular a vertical path - a then vertical lift - to reach the sealing position, which brings the lifting seal into a sealing position in the closed position of the respective sliding wing, while the lifting seal is preferably out of engagement in an "unsealed position" in other positions of the sliding wing due to the device for lifting and lowering the lifting seal, the lifting seal acts as an excellent static gap seal in the sealing position, which can be robustly designed and suffers from significantly less wear than a movement seal. Several of the lifting seals can also be provided, e.g. on a common device for lifting and lowering the lifting seals. In particular, such a device for lifting and lowering the lifting seal and the lifting seal can be used to close and seal a gap below the wing frame towards the blind frame. Alternatively or optionally, however, another such device for lifting and lowering the lifting seal and the lifting seal can also be used to close and seal a gap above the wing frame towards the blind frame. The directions of movement of the descriptions and the claims are then possibly transformed by 180° in space, if necessary - as far as this is specified.

[0021] The movement of the wing itself can actuate and move the device for lifting and lowering the lifting seal or only actuate it. In the latter case, a separate drive for the device for lifting and lowering the lifting seal can be provided and coupled with this device, which can be mechanical, electromotive or hydraulic, for example. For example, it may be provided that the device for lifting and lowering the lifting seal is also moved when an opening lever is moved. However, a completely separate drive can also be provided, which is actuated by a switch, in particular a switch coupled to the opening mechanism.

[0022] According to a particularly preferred embodiment, it may be provided that the lifting seal is provided in addition to at least one movement seal, which also serves to seal the sliding wing against the blind frame, so that there are then two or more seal lines or areas for sealing the wing frame of the sliding wing against the blind frame. It is also advantageous if the lifting seal comprises a sealing profile, the sealing profile having a sealing portion and a retaining portion. This functional separation achieves both a good sealing effect and a secure and permanent hold of the lifting seal in the desired position on a holding element of the device for lifting and lowering the lifting seal.

[0023] According to a further particularly preferred embodiment of the invention, it may be provided that the sealing portion comprises an essentially arc-shaped cross section. The arc-shaped cross section creates a lifting seal with a favourable surface pressure in the lifting seal when it is in the sealing position and a large bevel or deformation area. Both these features guide to a robust and durable seal.

[0024] According to a further, particularly preferred embodiment of the invention, it may further be provided that the sealing portion comprises at least one hollow chamber which is designed in such a way that the sealing portion deforms in a predetermined manner and thereby makes sealing contact with a counter seal surface. The deformation of the lifting seal can be manipulated in a simple manner by means of a corresponding geometric shape of the hollow chamber or chambers.

[0025] It is also advantageous that the sealing portion comprises a sealing lip that is designed to seal against the first guide rail. The sealing lip creates a continuous lifting seal by simple design means, starting from a side wall of the guide rail over the underside of the sliding frame and as a doubling of the movement seals in the wing frame.

[0026] According to a further particularly preferred embodiment of the invention, it may be provided that the retaining portion of the lifting seal comprises a web-like, horizontally extending cross section which ends on both sides in a type of snapping hook. The snapping hooks in particular provide a simple way of mounting the lifting seal.

[0027] Furthermore, according to a further, particularly preferred embodiment of the invention, it may be provided that the respective snapping hook engages in a corresponding groove of a retaining profile of the device for lifting and lowering the lifting seal, wherein the groove comprises an undercut so that, in interaction with the respective snapping hook, a latching or snapping connection in the manner of a snapping hook connection is created. This results in a lifting seal that is particularly simple to install.

[0028] According to a particularly preferred embodiment of the invention, it is provided that the device for lifting and lowering the lifting seal is shaped in the manner of a coupling transmission, in particular in the manner of a sliding crank, and is arranged in a space between the first horizontal guide rail and a second horizontal guide rail of the blind frame. This creates a space-saving device for lifting and lowering the lifting seal to move the lifting seal, which is robust and therefore works reliably.

[0029] According to a further, particularly preferred embodiment of the invention, it may also be provided that the device for lifting and lowering the lifting seal comprises a pusher which is slideably guided in a guide rail, wherein the guide rail is attached to the blind frame in the space. This creates a space-saving drive element for the sliding crank.

[0030] Furthermore, according to a further, particularly preferred embodiment of the invention, it may be provided that a first end of a crank is pivotably mounted on the guide rail, wherein a first end of a swingarm is pivotably mounted on the pusher, wherein a second end of the crank and a second end of the swingarm are each connected to one another by an axis relative to one another in the manner of a rotary joint. As a result, further components of the sliding crank are shaped in an advantageously spacesaving and structurally simple manner.

[0031] Advantageous is also that the axle protrudes laterally from the rotary joint in the axial direction, whereby a roller is pivotably mounted on the protruding end of the axle. This creates a structurally simple and robust way of transmitting the movement of the sliding crank to a support structure of the lifting seal.

[0032] Furthermore, according to a further, particularly preferred embodiment of the invention, it is provided that the device for lifting and lowering the lifting seal comprises a plurality of cranks and swingarms, wherein the respective crank is alternately pivotably mounted on the guide rail and the respective swingarm is alternately pivotably mounted on the pusher, wherein the respective roller is arranged alternately on both sides of the guide rail. The design of the lifting seal is thus simple and stable in a small construction space. Furthermore, it is advantageously simple to apply normal forces evenly and torque-free to the lifting seal.

[0033] According to a further advantageous embodiment of the invention, it may be provided that the respective roller engages in a C-shaped retaining profile of the lifting seal and fills a respective construction space between a first upper horizontal web, a respective vertical web and a respective lower horizontal web of the retaining profile, so that the respective roller can perform a rotary movement. This creates a secure and robust movable connection between the coupling transmission and the support structure of the lifting seal in a structurally simple and equally simple manner. According to a further particularly preferred embodiment of the invention, it may be provided that an actuating rod is attached to the pusher, to the free end of which an angled stop is attached, which is actuated by the sliding wing. This creates a robust forced actuation of the device for lifting and lowering the lifting seal by the sliding wing, which is simple in design and equally simple to realise in terms of production technology, and which operates without external intervention.

[0034] According to a further advantageous embodiment of the invention, it may be provided that the device for lifting and lowering the lifting seal comprises a link strip, wherein the device for lifting and lowering the lifting seal comprises a pusher, wherein the pusher is slideably guided on a plurality of guide rollers, wherein the device for lifting and lowering the lifting seal comprises at least several link rollers, wherein the respective link roller is spaced apart from a respective guide roller, wherein the link strip comprises two ramps, each of which is operatively connected to one of the link rollers. In this way, a particularly robust device for lifting and lowering the lifting seal for moving the lifting seal is created with simple design means, which comprises only a few (rotary) joints.

[0035] According to an advantageous embodiment of the invention, it may be provided that between the ramps the link strip comprises a construction space in which a torsion spring is arranged. This results in an advantageous space-saving design of the device for lifting and lowering the lifting seal for moving the lifting seal.

[0036] According to a further, particularly preferred embodiment of the invention, it may be provided that a winding section of the torsion spring is supported on a first bolt, wherein the first bolt is fastened to the side wall of the pusher, wherein a short leg of the torsion spring is supported on a further, second bolt, which is also fastened to the side wall of the pusher, wherein a long leg of the torsion spring is supported on a third bolt, which is fastened to a tab of the link strip. The torsion spring provides a structurally simple energy store for generating a restoring force for lowering the lifting seal when the sliding wing is opened.

[0037] It is also advantageous, that when the sliding wing is moved from its open position to its closed position, the sliding wing presses a connecting plate into an interior of a housing-like guide element via a first actuating rod, whereby the connecting plate is connected to a further, second actuating rod, which acts on the link strip, thereby activating the device for lifting and lowering the lifting seal. This achieves a structurally simple actuation of the device for lifting and lowering the lifting seal, which also includes a reversal of the direction of force. Furthermore, according to a further, particularly preferred embodiment of the invention, it can be provided that the tab is moved synchronously with the third bolt during the movement of the link strip, as a result of which the winding section of the torsion spring is pretensioned by the long leg of the torsion spring, which thereby becomes successively steeper. This creates a structurally simple and reliably functioning biasing device for the torsion spring.

[0038] It is also advantageous if, when the sliding wing is moved from its closed position to its open position, the pre-tensioned torsion spring ensures that the link strip is moved downwards by relaxing it, so that the lifting seal is also moved downwards. In particular, this effectively and reliably supports the downward movement of the device for lifting and lowering the lifting seal.

[0039] According to a further particularly preferred embodiment of the invention, it may be provided that the sliding door comprises a lifting seal element, which preferably comprises a Z-shaped form and is inserted in the blind frame at a position at which the sliding wing is in its closed position in front of the fixed glazing.

[0040] According to one variant, it can then be advantageously provided that this sealing element can also be lifted and lowered in whole or in sections by the device for lifting and lowering the lifting seal. However, this sealing element can also be attached to the blind frame so that it cannot be moved.

[0041] Due to the z-shaped design of the sealing element provided according to one embodiment, a structurally simple continuous seal of the sliding wing as well as the fixed glazing or another sliding wing is realised.

[0042] According to a further particularly preferred embodiment of the invention, it can be provided that an L-shaped sealing segment is attached to the Z-shaped sealing element, which can be moved via the device for lifting and lowering the lifting seal.

[0043] According to a further, particularly preferred embodiment of the invention, it may be provided that the z-shaped sealing element comprises a z-shaped base body in which several sealing lips are held. This results in a robust, brush-like construction.

[0044] Furthermore, according to a further, particularly preferred embodiment of the invention, it may be provided, that the majority of the sealing lips extend essentially vertically upwards from the base body, whereby at least two sealing lips are aligned at an angle to one another in the manner of a saddle roof, resulting in an A-shaped arrangement of the two sealing lips. This creates a sealing plane that is statically stable and thus robust as a contact seal both in the opening direction and in the closing direction of the sliding wing. As a result, the sealing element can be traversed from both sides by the sliding wing or wings without a sealing lip folding over due to the reciprocal stress when the sliding wing is moved and thus deteriorating or completely losing its sealing effect.

[0045] According to an advantageous embodiment of the invention, it may be provided that the retaining portion of the lifting seal is supported on an upper side of the first upper horizontal web. This creates a simple and advantageous secure hold for the lifting seal

[0046] According to a further, particularly preferred embodiment of the invention, it may also be provided that more than one device for lifting and lowering the lifting seal is provided for each sliding wing. This makes it possible to generate a seal force acting uniformly on the lifting seal over the entire length of the lifting seal, even in the case of sliding wings with a large linear extension - i.e. sliding wings with a large passage width. In this case, the lifting seal therefore also applies itself to the wing frame of the sliding wing with a constant seal force over the entire length of the lifting seal. This guides to a particularly robust and securely sealing lifting seal, even for sliding wings with a large passage width. Furthermore, a multiple arrangement allows the length of the respective device for lifting and lowering the lifting seal to be standardised, so that a device with an individual length does not have to be provided for each width of the sliding wing. Standardising the length in this way results in higher quantities of the device and the resulting economies of scale result in an advantageously favourable cost structure for the device.

[0047] Furthermore, according to a further, particularly preferred embodiment of the invention, it may be provided that at least one connecting means, in particular a connecting rod, is provided in order to transmit the actuating movement to a further device for lifting and lowering the lifting seal in each case and to synchronise them. This creates a simple and robust coupling between the two neighbouring devices for lifting and lowering the lifting seal.

[0048] It is also advantageous that the connecting rod is arranged horizontally. This allows the connecting rod to be arranged in a way that saves installation space.

[0049] Further advantageous embodiments of the invention can be found in the other subclaims. In the following, the invention is described in more detail with reference to the drawings by means of several embodiments. The invention is not limited to these embodiment examples, but can also be realised in other ways according to the wording or in other equivalent ways. In particular, individual features of the embodiments described below can also be used in other embodiments which are not shown below.

[0065] Several embodiments are described in the following description of the figures. Individual features of these embodiment examples can also be combined with embodiment examples not shown and are also suitable in each case as advantageous embodiments of the objects described in individual or several of the main and sub-claims. The term "sliding door" is in turn also synonymous with a sliding window.

[0066] The terms used in the following, such as "top", "bottom", "right", "left", "horizontal" and "vertical", refer to the representation of the figures. These indicate a vertical alignment of the sliding door. Coordinate systems in the figures are used for further orientation.

[0067] Fig. 1 shows a sliding door 1. The sliding door 1 comprises a blind frame 2 in the form of an outer frame-like enclosure which, when installed in an opening of a building (building opening), is fixed to the building, and at least one sliding wing 3 which is slideable in the blind frame 2. The blind frame 2 is formed as a circumferential blind frame. A sliding wing 3 is slideable or displaceable internally in the blind frame 2 or in the surround between a closed position (which is shown in Fig. 1 ) and an open position. The sliding wing 3 can preferably be locked in its closed position.

[0068] The opening direction of the sliding wing 3 here coincides with the positive x-direction according to the coordinate system in Fig. 1 , while the closing direction of the sliding wing 3 here corresponds to the negative x-direction. In the lower area, the blind frame 2 can be designed to be inserted into a depression in a floor. The blind frame 2 can take on the function of a door sill in the floor area.

[0069] In addition to the slideable sliding wing 3, the sliding door 1 can comprise at least one further sliding wing and / or a non-slideable fixed glazing 4. The sliding wing 3 is then pushed in front of the fixed glazing 4 during opening (to the right in Fig. 1 a). The sliding wing 3 preferably comprises a circumferential wing frame 301 and a surface element 302 inserted into the wing frame 301 (see also Fig. 2), which can be designed as an insulating glass pane, for example. Such a surface element 302 extends in a main surface plane (in Fig. 1 the x-y plane).

[0070] The sliding wing 3 can be moved relative to the blind frame 2 from its closed position manually with a handle (not shown) or optionally (also not shown) motorised via a drive into its open position and from this back into its closed position.

[0071] The sliding wing 3 is slideably mounted with one or more of its edges - here with the wing frame 301 - on a lower, here horizontal, i.e. parallel to the x-axis of the coordinate system in Fig. 2, first guide rail 5 of the surround or of the blind frame 2 on rollers in the blind frame 2 for opening and closing. The rollers are inserted here in a lower frame end of the wing frame 301 . According to the embodiment of Fig. 2, the wing frame 301 is sealed at its lower frame end against the first guide rail 5 with movement seals 303. Fig. 2 shows an embodiment as a lifting / sliding door. The sliding wing is lifted and then moved.

[0072] In its portion close to the floor, the blind frame 2 comprises a further horizontally extending second guide rail 6, which is spaced from the first guide rail 5, resulting in a space 7 between the two guide rails 5, 6.

[0073] According to Fig. 3a and Fig. 3b, a sliding door is provided which can be designed with the basic function and basic structure as in Fig. 2 or as a sliding door with a different structure. The underside of the sliding wing 3 is moved on rollers 6 on the blind frame 2 with a guide rail.

[0074] Therefore, according to a preferred embodiment, an alternative - and / or additional seal - is created in the form of a lifting seal 8, which prevents water from entering. So that this lifting seal 8 does not wear due to movement of the sliding wing 3, the lifting seal 8 is preferably only brought into a sealing position, as shown in Fig. 3a and Fig. 3b, in the closed position of the sliding wing 3 by a device 9 for lifting and lowering the lifting seal 8, which is explained in more detail below. The lifting seal 8 preferably extends over the entire lower length of the wing frame 301 in the sliding direction. When the sliding wing 3 is moved from its closed position into its open position, the lifting seal 8 is brought from its sealing position into a resting position by the device 9 for lifting and lowering the lifting seal 8. Accordingly, the lifting seal 8 is a static seal that can be designed to be more robust than a movement seal 303.

[0075] Such a lifting seal 8 is shown in variants in Fig. 3a and Fig. 3b. In each case, the lifting seal 8 comprises a sealing profile 801 which, in the sealing position of the lifting seal 8, is in contact with the sliding wing 3 from below, so that the sealing profile 801 is in contact with the wing frame 301 from below in a sealing manner

[0076] In the sealing position of the lifting seal 8, the sealing profile 801 of the lifting seal 8 can alternatively also rest against an upper edge of the sliding wing 3 from above, so that the sealing profile 801 then nestles against the wing frame 301 from above and then seals a gap there between the blind frame and the wing frame.

[0077] The device 8 for lifting and lowering the lifting seal 9 and the lifting seal 9 can therefore be used in particular to seal a gap below the wing frame towards the blind frame. Or - not shown - a gap above the wing frame can be sealed towards the blind frame. In particular, a vertically aligned and / or a horizontally aligned gap between the wing frame 301 and the blind frame 2 can be sealed.

[0078] The sealing profile 801 is shown in section in Fig. 3a and comprises a sealing portion 802 and a retaining portion 803. The sealing portion 802 comprises a substantially arcshaped cross section. The sealing portion 802 may comprise at least one hollow chamber 804 - in this case two hollow chambers 804 - which are designed such that the sealing portion 802 deforms in a predetermined manner, thereby sealing against a counter seal surface - which in this case is formed essentially by the underside of the wing frame 301. Furthermore, the sealing portion 802 comprises a sealing lip 805, which is designed in such a way that it can press against the first guide rail 5 in a sealing manner.

[0079] The retaining portion 803 of the lifting seal 8 comprises a web-like cross section that extends horizontally in this case. The cross section of the retaining portion 803 ends on both sides in a type of snapping hook 806. The respective snapping hook 806 engages in a corresponding groove 901 of a retaining profile 902 of a device 9 for lifting and lowering the lifting seal 8. The groove 901 comprises an undercut 903 so that, in interaction with the respective snapping hook 806, a latching or snap connection is formed in the manner of a snapping hook connection. The retaining profile 902 can comprise a C-shaped cross section that is essentially rotated by 90° here. Accordingly, a vertical web 905 adjoins a first upper horizontal web 904 on both sides. A further lower horizontal web 906 adjoins the respective vertical web 905. The two lower horizontal webs 906 end freely, resulting in the open C- shaped cross section rotated by 90°. The retaining portion 803 of the lifting seal 8 is supported on the upper side of the first upper horizontal web 904.

[0080] A variant of the sealing profile 801 is shown in Fig. 3b. This sealing profile801 also comprises a sealing portion 802 and a retaining portion 803.

[0081] The sealing portion 802 comprises a substantially teardrop-shaped cross section. The sealing portion 802 is arranged somewhat flat in the centre above the retaining portion 803 and extends to both sides of the here upper end of the retaining portion, which is directed towards the sealing portion 802. The sealing portion with its teardrop shape thus lies practically flat on the retaining portion 803. This is also the case in Fig. 3a. Here, however, the rounded side of the drop-shaped sealing portion 802 is aligned in such a way that a particularly good sealing effect is achieved in relation to a lower gap between the blind frame 2 and the wing frame 3.

[0082] The sealing portion 802 can comprise at least one hollow chamber 804 - here precisely a single hollow chamber 804 - which is designed in such a way that the sealing portion 802 deforms in a flattening manner when pressure is exerted on it, thereby sealing against the counter seal surface - which is formed here by the underside of the wing frame 3 and the blind frame 2 in the area of a lateral surface of the running rail 5. A gap between the sliding wing 3 and the blind frame 2, in this case between the sliding wing and the running rail 5 of the blind frame 2, is sealed particularly well from below.

[0083] Furthermore, the sealing portion 802 comprises a sealing lip 805 towards the tapered side of the drop shape, which is designed here in such a way that it can fit snugly against the retaining profile 902 from above.

[0084] According to the embodiment variant in Fig. 3b, the retaining portion 803 of the lifting seal 8 comprises a T-shaped cross section in the manner of a T-groove brick. The T- shaped retaining portion 803 engages here in a corresponding groove 901 of a retaining profile 902 of a device 9 for lifting and lowering the lifting seal 8. Accordingly, the groove 901 also comprises a T-shaped cross section and thus two undercuts 903, so that in interaction with the retaining portion 803 a connection in the manner of a T- groove connection is formed.

[0085] The retaining profile 902 comprises a pyramid-like cross section. Accordingly, a first upper horizontal web 904 is adjoined on both sides by a short vertical web 905. A further lower horizontal web 906 adjoins the respective vertical web 905. This lower horizontal web is adjoined here by a surrounding geometry of the respective groove 901 , which is shaped here in a T-shape. The retaining profile 902 is attached here with screws to a link strip 917. The link strip 917 is described in more detail in an embodiment of the device 9 for lifting and lowering the lifting seal 8 according to Figures 9, 10, 11 and 12a and 12b.

[0086] The device 9 for lifting and lowering the lifting seal 8 can, for example, be shaped like a coupling transmission, in particular like a sliding crank, and is preferably arranged in the space 7 between the first horizontal guide rail 5 and the second horizontal guide rail 6 of the blind frame 2.

[0087] In Fig. 4, the device 9 for lifting and lowering the lifting seal 8 is shown without adjacent parts of the lifting seal 8 and without the sliding door 1 . The device 9 for lifting and lowering the lifting seal 8 may comprise a pusher 907, which is slideably guided in a guide rail 908. The guide rail 908 is attached to the blind frame 2 in the space 7 and is arranged symmetrically to the retaining portion 803, as shown in Fig. 3.

[0088] A first end of a crank 909 is pivotably mounted on the guide rail 908. A first end of a swingarm 910 is pivotably mounted on the pusher 907 in each case. A second end of the crank 909 and a second end of the swingarm 910 are each connected to one another relative to one another by an axle 911 in the manner of a rotary joint. The axle

[0089] 911 protrudes laterally from the rotary joint in the axial direction. A respective roller

[0090] 912 is pivotably mounted on the projecting end of the axle 911 .

[0091] In Fig. 4 it can be seen that the device 9 for lifting and lowering the lifting seal 8 can comprise a plurality of cranks 909 and swingarms 910, wherein the respective crank

[0092] 909 is alternately pivotably mounted on the guide rail 908 and the respective swingarm

[0093] 910 is alternately pivotably mounted on the pusher 907. Furthermore, it can be seen that the respective roller 912 is arranged alternately on both sides of the guide rail 908. The guide rail 908 comprises recesses 913 on each of its two sides, which are provided for receiving the respective roller 912 when the device 9 for lifting and lowering the lifting seal 8 is positioned in a lower position. Similarly, the pusher 907 comprises corresponding recesses which are provided as construction spaces for the respective crank 909 and the respective swingarm 910.

[0094] The respective roller 912 engages in the retaining profile 901 of the lifting seal 8 and fills a respective construction space between the first upper horizontal web 904, the respective vertical web 905 and the respective lower horizontal web 906, so that the respective roller 912 can perform a rotating movement, as shown in Fig. 3.

[0095] An actuating rod 914 is attached to the pusher 907 in the extension of its extension in the negative x-direction, to the free end of which an angled stop 915 is attached. Fig. 5 shows how the sliding wing 3 touches the stop 915 when the sliding wing 3 reaches the closed position and thus actuates the device 9 for lifting and lowering the lifting seal 8 via the actuating rod 914, so that when its closed position is reached, the device 9 for lifting and lowering the lifting seal 8 presses the lifting seal 8 against the underside of the sliding wing 3. The device 9 for lifting and lowering the lifting seal 8 is thus designed and arranged in such a way that the lifting seal 8 only reaches its final sealing position when the sliding wing 3 reaches its closed position. This advantageously minimises wear on the lifting seal 8. The force required to push the sliding wing 3 is also reduced.

[0096] Fig. 6 shows an alternative version of the stop 915. It is also shown how the device 9 for lifting and lowering the lifting seal 8 just reaches its sealing position and the sliding wing 3 thus reaches its closed position. Here, the actuating rod 914 first reaches through an angled guide element 916 in the negative x-direction. An angled stop 915 is also attached to the free end of the actuating rod 914. Here too, the sliding wing 3 touches the stop 915 when the closed position of the sliding wing 3 is reached and thus actuates the device 9 for lifting and lowering the lifting seal 8 via the actuating rod

[0097] 914. (Tension) springs can be arranged between the guide element 916 and the stop

[0098] 915, which are tensioned when the sliding wing 3 touches the stop 915 and which, when the sliding wing 3 is slid into an open position, bring the device 9 for lifting and lowering the lifting seal 8 into the resting position of the device 9 for lifting and lowering the lifting seal 8 by their spring force.

[0099] In Fig. 7a, a sealing element 807 is shown which comprises a Z-shaped form in the x-z plane according to the coordinate system in Fig. 7. The sealing element 807, which is exemplary and advantageously z-shaped here, is inserted in the blind frame 2 at a position at which a wing frame spar of the sliding wing 3 is in front of a frame spar of the fixed glazing 4 in the z-direction in the closed position of the sliding wing 3, as shown in Fig. 1. In other words, the Z-shaped sealing element 807 is inserted into the blind frame 2 in a locking position of the sliding wing 3, here at the right end of the sliding wing 3 in its locking position.

[0100] The z-shaped sealing element 807 comprises one or more optional L-shaped sealing segments 808 on each of its sides - i.e. in the negative or positive z-direction - which are arranged on the z-shaped sealing element 807 in such a way that, in relation to the x-z plane, a rectangular lifting seal is produced geometrically overall. At least the respective long legs 809 of the L-shaped sealing segments 808 can also be moved via the device 9 for lifting and lowering the lifting seal 8, while the z-shaped sealing element 807 is stationary. Through this arrangement of the Z-shaped sealing element 807 in interaction with the L-shaped sealing segments 808, in each of which at least the long leg 809 is movable by the device 9 for lifting and lowering the lifting seal 8, the fixed glazing 4 and the sliding wing 3 are then sealed at the same time.

[0101] Fig. 7b shows an alternative embodiment of the z-shaped sealing element 8. In the embodiment shown in Fig. 7b, the L-shaped sealing segments 808 are omitted.

[0102] In Fig. 8, the z-shaped sealing element 807 is shown without adjacent components. The Z-shaped sealing element 807 comprises a z-shaped base body 810, in which several sealing lips 811 are held. The sealing lips 811 each follow the legs of the Z- shaped base body in the longitudinal direction; for this purpose, the respective sealing lip 811 is mitred at the change of direction, as can be seen in Fig. 8.

[0103] The majority of the sealing lips 811 extend here starting from the base body 810 essentially vertically upwards or in the positive y-direction according to the coordinate system in Fig. 7. At least two sealing lips 812, 813 are aligned at an angle to each other like a saddle roof, resulting in an A-shaped arrangement of the two sealing lips 812, 813. This creates a sealing plane that is statically stable and therefore robust as a contact seal both in the positive x-direction and in the negative x-direction (see coordinate system in Fig. 7). The sealing element 807 can optionally be moved up and down by the device 9.

[0104] In one embodiment, the device 9 for lifting and lowering the lifting seal 8 may comprise the link strip 917, which is shown in Figs. 9, 10 and 11 . In this embodiment variant, the device 9 for lifting and lowering the lifting seal 8 is also arranged in the space 7 between the two guide rails 5, 6, as shown in Fig. 3.

[0105] In Fig. 9, this embodiment of the device 9 for lifting and lowering the lifting seal 8 is shown without adjacent parts of the lifting seal 8 and without the sliding door 1 . The link strip 917 - and thus the lifting seal 8 (not shown here, see Fig. 3 for understanding) is shown here in its sealing position. The device 9 for lifting and lowering the lifting seal 8 also comprises a pusher 907. The pusher 907 is shown here in section, so that only one side wall 921 of the pusher 907 is visible here. The pusher 907 can be slideably guided on several guide rollers 918 - here two guide rollers 918.

[0106] The guide rollers 918 roll in the space 7 on the blind frame 2 and are arranged symmetrically to the retaining portion 803 of the lifting seal 8, as shown in Fig. 9. The respective guide roller 918 is inserted into a type of cage 919 and is pivotably mounted by an axle 920, which is inserted into a side wall 921 of the pusher 907 or into a side wall of the cage 919.

[0107] Spaced in each case in the negative x-direction from the respective link strip 917, the device 9 for lifting and lowering the lifting seal 8 comprises in each case one - here two - link rollers 922. The link strip 917 comprises - here two - ramps 924, each of which is in operative connection with one of the link rollers 922. Between the ramps 924, the link strip 917 and the pusher 907 each comprise a construction space in which a spring leg 924 is arranged.

[0108] This is clearly shown in Fig. 11 and especially in Fig. 10. In Fig. 10, the device 9 for lifting and lowering the lifting seal 8 is in the resting position. A winding section 925 of the torsion spring 924 is supported on a first bolt 926. The first bolt 926 is attached to the side wall 921 of the pusher 907. A short leg 927 of the torsion spring 924 is supported on a further, second bolt 928, which is also attached to the side wall 921 of the pusher 907. A long leg 929 of the torsion spring 924 is supported on a third bolt 930, which is attached to a tab of the link strip 917. The torsion spring 924 can also be designed without the short leg 927.

[0109] When the sliding wing 3 is moved from its open position to its closed position, it presses a connecting plate 931 into an interior of a housing-like guide element 916 via a first actuating rod 914. The connecting plate 931 is connected to a further, second actuating rod 932, which acts on the link strip 917. This actuates the device 9 for lifting and lowering the lifting seal 8. The link strip 917 moves in the positive x-direction, so that the respective ramp 924 rolls over the respective link roller 922 and thus the link strip 917 is lifted, whereby the lifting seal 8 (not shown here) contacts the sliding wing 3 from below, as shown in Fig. 11 .

[0110] When the link strip 917 moves in the positive x-direction, the tab moves synchronously with the third bolt 930. The winding section 925 of the torsion spring 924 is pretensioned by the long leg 929 of the torsion spring 924, which thus becomes successively steeper (see Fig. 11 ). When the sliding wing 3 is moved from its closed position to its open position, the torsion spring 924 pretensioned in this way ensures that the link strip 917 is moved downwards by relaxing, so that the lifting seal 8 is also moved downwards.

[0111] The device 9, with which the lifting seal 8 is lifted and lowered and through which the lifting seal 8 therefore works as a static seal, results in low wear of the lifting seal 8. Due to the purely static sealing function of the lifting seal 8, it can be sealed against a high water level and against considerable wind pressure, resulting in an overall improved sealing effect compared to the state of the art.

[0112] As an alternative to the device 9 for lifting and lowering the lifting seal 8, which uses the movement of the sliding wing 3 from its open position to a closed position to move the lifting seal, it is also conceivable to move the lifting seal 8 via electrical components (switches, sensors, motors, etc.).

[0113] Figures 12a and 12b show that more than one device 9 for lifting and lowering the lifting seal 8 can also be provided for each sliding wing 3. In order to transmit the actuating movement to further devices 9 for lifting and lowering the lifting seal 8, a connecting rod 934 is provided here in each case. The connecting rod 934 is arranged horizontally here and connects the link strip 917 of the respective device 9 for lifting and lowering the lifting seal 8, so that the movement of the two link strips 917 are synchronised. In the device 9 for lifting and lowering the lifting seal 8 according to the embodiment variant of Figures 3a, 4, 5, 6, the connecting rod 934 connects the pusher 907 of the respective device 9.

[0114] The transmission of the actuating movement to further devices 9 for lifting and lowering the lifting seal 8 can also be designed differently than shown in Figures 12a and 12b.

[0115] The two devices 9 for lifting and lowering the lifting seal 8 make it possible to generate a seal force that acts uniformly on the lifting seal 8 over the entire length of the lifting seal 8, even with sliding wings 3 with a large longitudinal extension parallel to the x- axis of the coordinate system according to Fig. 12a and Fig. 12b - i.e. sliding wings 3 with a large passage width. The lifting seal 8 thus applies itself to the wing frame 301 of the sliding wing 3 with a seal force that remains constant over the entire length of the lifting seal 8. This guides to a particularly robust and securely sealing lifting seal 8, even for sliding wings 3 with a large passage width. Furthermore, the length of the respective device 9 for lifting and lowering the lifting seal 8 can be standardised by means of a multiple arrangement, so that a device 9 with an individual length does not have to be provided for each width of the sliding wing 3. Such standardisation of the length of the results in higher quantities of the device 9 and, due to the resulting economies of scale, an advantageously favourable cost structure of the device 9.
