Description

The invention relates to a movable partition wall according to the preamble of patent claim 1.

From the DE 93 17 236 U1 is a movable partition with several along a fixed track rail by means of rollers of roller carriage slidably guided wall elements known. At least one of the wall elements is designed as a pivoting element in that it can be locked at least in a position relative to the running rail and can be pivoted out of the plane of the running rail. The pivoting element has a support profile, which is connected via suspension devices with the roller carriage, and a pivoting profile which is pivotable about an axis of rotation relative to the support profile. There is provided a first locking device for locking the support profile relative to the running rail and a second locking device for locking the pivot profile relative to the support profile.

The first locking device has ramps, which are run over by a wing-side, spring-loaded latch upon reaching the locking position of the pivot member, whereupon the latch engages in a stationary latch receptacle. To pivot the pivoting element relative to the running rail plane, the pivoting hook of the second locking device must first be manually adjusted. Conversely, after manually locking the pivoting hook, the latch of the first locking device must be unlocked in a second manual operating step. This is expensive. Furthermore, incorrect operations are possible, for. B. by accidental unlocking and pivoting of the pivot member before it is locked against the running rail.

From the DE 195 41 758 C2 is a locking and locking device for pivoting and sliding doors known. There is provided a coupling device which has an actuating element for the common actuation of a first locking device and a second locking device. However, this arrangement is elaborate in terms of parts number and space requirement, since in each case a gear and / or worm gear is connected between the actuating element and the two locking devices. This arrangement also allows only a tool attack of the actuating element perpendicular to the plane of the door leaf, which means for heavy doors a difficult operation.

From the AT 397 830 B a device for locking gates and the like is known. The exclusively electric motor driven actuator has a spindle which cooperates with an internal thread of a sliding bolt. Another, pivotable latch is not available.

From the GB 2 402 424 A is a hinged latch with a backdrop known. The possibility of using this device in generic, movable partitions is not disclosed. An arranged on a displaceable actuator pin engages in a gate of a pivoting bolt. Another, sliding latch is not available.

The invention has for its object to provide a movable partition, which is simpler compared to the known prior art and easier to use.

The object is solved by the features of patent claim 1.

The subclaims form advantageous embodiments of the invention.

The first locking device and the second locking device are arranged together in a coupling device, wherein the coupling device has an actuating element for the common actuation of the first locking device and the second locking device. As a result, the actuation of the partition - with a simple structure - much easier. Operating errors are excluded because the correct operating sequence is automatically ensured.

The coupling device has a simple structure in that it has only three main components, namely a first coupling element, a second coupling element and a third coupling element.

For example, the first coupling element can be arranged on or in the track rail and store the first latch receptacle. The second coupling element can be arranged on or in the support profile and support the actuating element and the first latch and the second latch. The third coupling element can be arranged on or in the pivot profile and store the second latch receptacle.

The pivotable latch is formed as a free end of a pivot member which is pivotally mounted by means of a rotary joint on the second coupling element, wherein the pivot member is a z. B. has formed as an angled slot backdrop. As a result, the actuation of the pivot member takes place only from or until a certain position of the bolt.

At the thrust member a bolt is arranged, which engages in the slot of the pivot member, so that a displacement of the thrust member causes a pivoting of the pivot member.

Trained as a sliding latch, the first locking device engages in the locked position in a first, z. B. running rail side latch receptacle.

Trained as a pivotable latch, the second locking device engages in the locking position in a second, z. B. pivot profile side latch receptacle.

The displaceable latch may be formed as a free end of a thrust member, which is slidably guided in the second coupling element, but not rotatable.

The actuating element, which may be rotatably mounted in the second coupling element, but immovable, may have a spindle which engages in the trained as a spindle nut thrust member, so that rotation of the actuating element causes a displacement of the thrust member.

In the following an embodiment in the drawing with reference to the figures will be explained in more detail.

In the 1 is a movable partition 1 , consisting of several wall elements 2 represented. The wall elements 2 are formed in this embodiment as all-glass wings and each have an edge profile at the horizontal upper and lower edges of the glass sheets 3 . 4 on, which can be designed as a clamping profile. The upper edge profile 3 is via suspension devices with roller carriages 8th connected, their rollers 9 in one on the building ceiling 11 mounted running rail 10 roll. The lower edge profile 4 can (not shown in this drawing) fittings for floor guidance and / or locking of the wall elements 2 with each other and / or opposite the building floor 13 exhibit. Alternatively, other embodiments of the wall elements 2 , For example, as so-called integrated glass elements with at least two spaced glass panes and intermediate support profiles, or as wood or metal wings conceivable.

In the drawing according to 1 closes on the right to the movable partition 1 a fixed building wall 12 at. To release the through the movable partition 1 Covered building opening are the wall elements 2 displaced to the right, being in the area of the building wall 12 a parking space for the wall elements 2 located.

The middle wall element in the drawing is opposite to the other wall elements 2 deviating, as a pivoting element 2a educated. The pivoting element allows for closed partition a passage with the width of a wall element 2 without the wall elements 2 must be moved from their closed front forming position in the parking space.

The upper edge profile of the pivoting element 2a is designed in two parts and includes a support profile 3a , which has two roller carriages 8th in the stationary track 10 is guided, and a swivel profile 3b , which by means of a joint 5 opposite the support profile 3a is pivotally mounted. Between the lower edge profile 4 of the pivoting element 2a and the building floor 13 is another joint 6 present, the hinge pin between a first position in which he is completely in the edge profile 4 sunk, and a second position in which it engages in a bottom-side receptacle, is adjustable. The axes of rotation of the two joints are preferred 5 . 6 arranged coaxially with each other.

The pivoting element 2a must, as long as it is not in his the closed partition 1 appropriate position, be secured against unwanted pivoting. In contrast, a pivoting of the pivoting element 2a specifically required if it is in its closed partition 1 corresponding position, whereas then its displacement relative to the running rail 10 is undesirable. To the swivel element 2a optionally to secure against displacement or pivoting is in the range of the upper horizontal edge of the pivoting element 2a a coupling device 14 intended.

In the perspective view according to 2 are the three essential components of the coupling device 14 represented, namely a first coupling element 15 , a second coupling element 16 and a third coupling element 17 ,

The first coupling element 15 is on the track 10 by means of several screws 19 , which slot-like openings 18 of the first coupling element 15 pass through, mounted height adjustable, while the second coupling element 16 by means of other screws 18 , which openings formed as through holes 19 of the second coupling element 16 reach through, on the supporting profile 3a of the pivoting element 2a is attached, and by means of other screws 18 is correspondingly the third coupling element 17 on the swivel profile 3b set the pivoting element. Of course, instead of the illustrated screw connections, other suitable types of fastening for mounting the coupling elements 15 . 16 . 17 possible.

In the perspective view according to 3 are those in the body 20 of the second coupling element 16 stored components shown. The actuator 26 which has a bottom-accessible tool engagement, for example for an Allen wrench, is in the body 20 of the second coupling element 16 rotatably mounted. Two guide bolts 27 , which in an annular groove of the actuating element 26 engage, prevent displacement of the rotary actuator 26 , The actuator 26 has a spindle 28 on, which in a trained as a spindle nut, in the body 20 of the second coupling element 16 slidably guided push element 21 intervenes. At its upper end, the push member 21 a latch 22 on, which in the position according to 3 completely out of the body 20 of the second coupling element 16 is extended. By rotation of the actuator 26 lets go of the bar 22 completely in the body 20 of the second coupling element 16 retract. In the body 20 of the second coupling element 16 is also a hinge 24 present, which for the pivotable mounting of a pivoting member 23 serves. The essentially L-shaped, in 4 separately shown pivot member has at its free end another bolt 25 on, which in the position according to 3 completely in the body 20 of the second coupling element 16 retracted. For motion coupling with the actuator 26 has the pivot member 23 a trained as an angled slot backdrop 30 on, in which one on the push member 21 existing bolt 29 intervenes. By rotation of the actuating element 26 becomes a displacement of the push member 21 causes, over the bolt 29 and the scenery 30 at the same time a pivoting of the pivot member 23 he follows. Thus, the bolt can be 23 completely out of the body 20 of the second coupling element 16 exit.

In the 5 to 8th are different positions of the coupling device 14 shown:
In the position according to 5 which also according to the position 3 corresponds, is the first bar 22 completely from the second coupling element 16 extended and engages in a first coupling element 15 arranged latch receptacle 31 one. Thus, the (not shown here) support profile 3a against unintentional displacement relative to the (also not shown here) running rail 10 secured. The second bar 25 is in contrast in a completely in the second coupling element 16 retracted position, so that a pivoting of the (here also not shown) pivoting profile 3b opposite the support profile 3a is possible. That's the second bar 25 supporting swivel link 23 is through the in his backdrop 30 engaging bolt 29 of the push member 21 held in this position.

After a first rotational actuation of the actuating element 26 will be in the 6 reached position shown. The push member 21 has moved down a first distance, so that also the bolt 22 not completely in the bolt retainer 31 engages, but still the displacement of the support profile 3a opposite the track 10 prevented. With the push member 21 also has the bolt 29 down and along the scenery 30 of the pivoting member 23 moved so that the pivoting member 23 is pivoted down by a first angle of rotation. The at the free end of the pivoting member 23 arranged, second latch 25 Although not yet fully, but already with its tip in the third coupling element 17 arranged latch receptacle 32 and prevents in this position already pivoting of the pivot profile 3b opposite the support profile 3a ,

After another rotational actuation of the actuating element 26 will be in the 7 reached position shown. The push member 21 has moved down a further distance, leaving the bolt 22 only with its tip in the bolt receptacle 31 engages, but still the displacement of the support profile 3a opposite the track 10 prevented. With the push member 21 also has the bolt 29 continue down and continue along the scenery 30 of the pivoting member 23 moved so that the pivoting member 23 pivoted down by a further angle of rotation and the second bolt 25 further into the bolt receptacle 32 intervenes. In this position, the latch takes 25 over the bolt receptacle 32 the weight of the support profile 3b with the connected disc on.

After another rotational actuation of the actuating element 26 will be concluded in the 8th reached position shown. The push member 21 has moved down a further distance and reached its lower end position, so that the bolt 22 no longer in the bolt receptacle 31 engages, but completely in the second coupling element 16 retracted; It is thus a displacement of the support profile 3a opposite the track 10 allows. With the push member 21 also has the bolt 29 continue down and continue along the scenery 30 of the pivoting member 23 moved to its end position, so that the pivoting member 23 about a further angle of rotation is also pivoted down to its final position and the second bolt 25 now completely in the bolt receptacle 32 intervenes.

For locking the support profile 3a opposite the track 10 and for unlocking the pivot profile 3b opposite the support profile 3a becomes the actuator 26 rotatably operated in the opposite direction, so that starting from the position according to 8th finally the position according to 5 is reached.
