Description
Schutzvorrichtung für Gebäudeöffnungen Protective device for building openings
Die Erfindung betrifft eine Schutzvorrichtung für Gebäudeöffnungen wie Fenster, Türen oder Tore, die aus einer Platte sowie aus einem Fensterrahmen oder einem Türrahmen mit Türschwelle oder Torpfosten mit Schwelle besteht.The invention relates to a protective device for building openings such as windows, doors or gates, which consists of a plate and a window frame or a door frame with a door sill or gate post with threshold.
Überflutungen durch Hochwasser treten in Küstenregionen als Begleiterscheinung von Sturmfluten auf. An Flußläufen sind sie eine Folge der Schneeschmelze, aber auch starke Regenfälle kommen bedingt durch die heutzutage verbreitete Bodenversie- gelung als Ursache in Frage. In allen Fällen haben die betroffenen Anwohner eine Vorwarnzeit bis hin zu einigen Tagen, die sie dazu nutzen können, Öffnungen ihrer Wohnhäuser wie Fenster, Türe und Tore vor dem Eindringen von Wasser zu schützen, um auf diese Weise Schäden an Bausubstanz und Mobiliar zu vermeiden.Flooding in coastal regions is a side effect of storm surges. On rivers they are a result of snow melting, but heavy rains can also be considered as a cause due to the widespread sealing of the ground today. In all cases, the affected residents have a warning period of up to a few days that they can use to protect openings in their homes, such as windows, doors and gates, from the ingress of water, in order to prevent damage to the building structure and furniture.
Üblicherweise wird bei Hochwasser ein Schutzwall aus nebeneinander und übereinander gestapelten Sandsäcken vor den Fenstern und Türen aufgebaut, um das Wasser zurückzuhalten. Dies gelingt jedoch nur unvollkommen, da durch die Zwischenräume zwischen den Sandsäcken wie auch durch die Sandsäcke selbst Wasser durchsickern kann und Fenster und Türen im allgemeinen nicht wasserdicht schließen. Außerdem halten bei hohem Wasserstand die Fenster dem über die Sandsäcke auf sie ausgeübten Druck oft nicht stand, so daß sich mit dieser Technik Wassereinbrüche nicht zuverlässig verhindern lassen.During floods, a protective wall is usually built from sandbags stacked side by side and one above the other in front of the windows and doors in order to retain the water. However, this is only imperfect, since water can seep through the gaps between the sandbags as well as through the sandbags and windows and doors generally do not close watertight. In addition, when the water level is high, the windows often do not hold up to the pressure exerted on them by the sandbags stood, so that water ingress can not be reliably prevented with this technology.
Daher gibt die Druckschrift DE-GM 91 04 106 eine Schutzvorrichtung für Gebäudeöffnungen gegen Hochwasser gemäß der eingangs erwähnten Gattung an, die aus einer an die jeweilige Gebäudeöffnung angepaßten Platte besteht, in die sie mit Spiel eingesetzt und mittels eines auf ihrer Stirnseite allseitig umlaufenden aufblasbaren Schlauches festgeklemmt und abgedichtet wird, wobei als zusätzliche Abdichtung auf der Schlauchaußenseite ein doppelseitiger Klebestreifen angebracht sein kann. Die Abdichtung der Ecken der Gebäudeöffnungen ist mit dieser Tech- nik allerdings problematisch, da der aufblasbareTherefore, the document DE-GM 91 04 106 specifies a protective device for building openings against flooding according to the type mentioned above, which consists of a plate adapted to the respective building opening, into which it is inserted with play and by means of an all-round inflatable tube on its end face is clamped and sealed, whereby a double-sided adhesive strip can be attached as an additional seal on the outside of the hose. Sealing the corners of the building openings is problematic with this technique, however, because the inflatable
Schlauch die dort befindlichen Winkel nicht zuverlässig vollständig ausfüllt und der Schlauch in diesen Bereichen überdies Falten werfen kann, durch die ein Durchtritt von Wasser möglich ist. Außerdem hält die Klemmverbindung mit dem aufblasbarenHose does not reliably completely fill the angles located there and the hose can also fold in these areas, through which water can pass. It also holds the clamp connection with the inflatable
Schlauch nur einem begrenzten Wasserdruck stand, so daß ein Versagen dieser Schutzvorrichtung bei höheren Wasserständen nicht ausgeschlossen werden kann. Ein weiterer Nachteil ist darin zu sehen, daß für die Montage der Einsatz eines Hilfsmittels in Form einer Luftpumpe zum Aufblasen des Schlauches erforderlich ist.Hose was only a limited water pressure, so that failure of this protection device at higher water levels can not be excluded. Another disadvantage is the fact that the installation requires the use of an aid in the form of an air pump to inflate the hose.
Demgegenüber liegt der vorliegenden Erfindung das Problem zugrunde, eine Schutzvorrichtung für Gebäudeöffnungen wie Fenster, Türen oder Tore so zu gestalten, daß sie auch bei hohem Wasserständen und damit verbundenen hohen Wasserdruck zuverlässig dichtet und für ihre Montage keine weiteren Hilfsmittel erforderlich sind.In contrast, the present invention addresses the problem of designing a protective device for building openings such as windows, doors or gates so that they are reliable even at high water levels and the associated high water pressure seals and no further aids are required for their assembly.
Dieses Problem wird erfindungsgemäß dadurch gelöst, daß die Platte von außen auf die Gebäudeöffnung aufsetzbar ist, durch an ihrer Rückseite befestigte den Rand der Gebäudeöffnung hintergreifende Elemente festlegbar ist und die Auflagefläche der Platte aus abdichtendem Material besteht.This problem is solved according to the invention in that the plate can be placed on the building opening from the outside, can be fixed by elements which engage behind the edge of the building opening and the bearing surface of the plate consists of sealing material.
Die Grundidee der Erfindung ist es, Gebäudeöffnungen wie Fenster, Türe oder Tore durch an ihrer Außenseite aufgebrachte Platten abzudichten, die durch entsprechende Elemente, die den Rand der Ge- bäudeöffnung hintergreifen, auf der Innenseite festgelegt werden, so daß sie auch ohne Außendruck fixiert sind. Zur Anbringung der Befestigungselemente müssen Fenster oder Türen geöffnet, wenn sie nach außen offen, auch ausgehängt werden. Die Auf- lagefläche der Platte, die beispielsweise durch den Fensterrahmen, den Türrahmen mit Türschwelle, die Torpfosten samt zugehöriger Schwelle oder alternativ dazu durch das die Gebäudeöffnung umgebende Mauerwerk gebildet wird, soll dabei aus einem was- serfest abdichtenden Material bestehen, das den Durchtritt von Wasser in das Gebäude zuverlässig verhindert. Der Vorteil der erfindungsgemäßen Schutzvorrichtung liegt insbesondere darin, daß die Montage ohne den Einsatz weiterer Hilfsmittel er- folgen kann und daß hohe Wasserstände und ein damit verbundener hoher Wasserdruck die Platte nur umso fester gegen die Berandung der geschützten Gebäude- Öffnung preßt, was die Dichtwirkung des abdichtenden Materials der Auflagefläche verstärkt.The basic idea of the invention is to seal building openings, such as windows, doors or gates, by plates attached to their outside, which are fixed on the inside by corresponding elements which engage behind the edge of the building opening, so that they are fixed even without external pressure . To attach the fasteners, windows or doors must be opened if they are also open to the outside. The bearing surface of the panel, which is formed, for example, by the window frame, the door frame with the door sill, the goal post and the associated threshold, or alternatively by the masonry surrounding the building opening, should consist of a waterproof material that prevents the passage of Water reliably prevented in the building. The advantage of the protective device according to the invention is, in particular, that assembly can be carried out without the use of further aids and that high water levels and the associated high water pressure only make the plate more resistant to the edges of the protected buildings. Opening presses, which increases the sealing effect of the sealing material of the bearing surface.
Als Befestigungselement der erfindungsgemäßen Schutzvorrichtung schlägt die Erfindung im besonderen die Verwendung exzentrischer Drehknöpfe vor, die an der Rückseite der Platte befestigt sind und sich in eine Position drehen lassen, in der jeweils ein Teil von ihnen den Rand der Gebäudeöffnung hin- tergreift, wodurch die Platte an der Gebäudeöffnung festgelegt wird.As a fastening element of the protective device according to the invention, the invention proposes in particular the use of eccentric rotary knobs which are fastened to the rear of the plate and can be rotated into a position in which a part of each reaches behind the edge of the building opening, as a result of which the plate at the building opening.
Als alternatives Befestigungselement nennt die Erfindung beispielsweise mit Haken versehen Spannfe- dern, die an der Rückseite der Platte befestigt sind und deren Haken sich unter Spannung der jeweiligen Spannfeder am innenseitigen Rand der Gebäudeöffnung einhaken lassen. Bei Verwendung von Spannfedern mit hinreichender Rückstellkraft gewährlei- stet dies ebenfalls eine solide und zuverlässige Fixierung der Platte auf der Gebäudeöffnung.As an alternative fastening element, the invention mentions, for example, tension springs provided with hooks, which are fastened to the back of the plate and whose hooks can be hooked under tension of the respective tension spring on the inside edge of the building opening. When using tension springs with sufficient restoring force, this also ensures a solid and reliable fixation of the plate to the building opening.
Ein weiteres Befestigungselement wird gebildet aus einem Abstandshalter und einem Hebel. In der Nähe der Gebäudeöffnung auf der Innenseite der Platte ist der Abstandshalter in normaler Ausrichtung befestigt, wobei der Hebel etwa mittig am freien Ende des Abstandshalter verschwenkbar angebracht ist. Das eine Ende greift an der Rückseite der Gebäude- Öffnung an und das gegenüberliegende Ende über geeignete Mittel von der Platte weggepreßt. Hierzu kann eine dieses Ende des Hebels durchgreifende Spindel, die sich auf der Platte abstützt Verbin- dung finden. Der Einbau geschieht in der Weise, daß nach dem Positionieren der Platte der Hebel ausgerichtet und über geeignete Mittel an seinen zur Platte hinweisenden Ende von der Platte weggepreßt wird und sich dabei von der Rückseite her an der Gebäudeöffnung anliegt. Die Befestigung erfolgt also von der Innenseite des Gebäudes aus und sie erlaubt die Herstellung eine im hohen Maße festen Verbindung. Zudem erfolgt eine selbsttätige Ein- Stellung und Anpassung an die an den jeweiligen Befestigungspunkt vorliegenden Verhältnisse.Another fastener is formed from a spacer and a lever. The spacer is fastened in the normal orientation near the building opening on the inside of the plate, the lever being pivotably attached approximately in the center of the free end of the spacer. One end engages the back of the building opening and the opposite end is pressed away from the plate by suitable means. For this purpose, a spindle that passes through this end of the lever and is supported on the plate can be connected. find. The installation takes place in such a way that after the positioning of the plate, the lever is aligned and, by suitable means, is pressed away from the plate at its end pointing towards the plate and thereby lies against the building opening from the rear. The fastening is done from the inside of the building and it allows the production of a highly rigid connection. In addition, there is an automatic adjustment and adjustment to the conditions at the respective attachment point.
Als abdichtendes Material für die Auflagefläche der Platte wird in bevorzugter Ausbildung der Erfindung Gummi verwendet, das preisgünstig erhältlich ist und eine wasserfeste Abdichtung zwischen Platte und Rand der Gebäudeöffnung zuverlässig gewährleistet.In a preferred embodiment of the invention, rubber is used as the sealing material for the bearing surface of the plate, which is available at low cost and reliably ensures a watertight seal between the plate and the edge of the building opening.
Als abdichtendes Material wird im speziellen ein Winkel vorgeschlagen, dessen einer Schenkel die Anlagefläche der Platte (3) beschreibt und dessen anderer Schenkel an der Stirnseite der Gebäudesöffnung liegt. Man erhält auf dieser Weise nicht nur eine Abdichtung der äußeren Frontseite des Gebäu- des, sondern auch durch den einen Schenkel des Winkels an der Stirnseite der Gebäudeöffnung. Eine Verbesserung der Abdichtung läßt sich auf dieser Weise erreichen.An angle is proposed in particular as the sealing material, one leg of which describes the contact surface of the plate (3) and the other leg of which lies on the end face of the building opening. In this way, one obtains not only a seal of the outer front of the building, but also one leg of the angle on the front of the building opening. An improvement in the seal can be achieved in this way.
Als alternative oder zusätzliche Maßnahme, die dem gleichen Zweck dient, ist auf der zum Gebäude weisenden Fläche, also innenseitig, eine Dichtung in das abdichtende Material eingebracht. Die Platte der erfindungsgemäßen Schutzvorrichtung muß wasserfest und hinreichend stabil sein, um auch größeren Wasserdrücken dauerhaft standhalten zu können. Daher schlägt die Erfindung die Verwendung von Metallplatten vor, die diesen Anforderungen genügen und empfiehlt insbesondere die Verwendung von Aluminium, das preisgünstig und korrosionsbeständig ist und aufgrund seiner vergleichsweise niedrigen Dichte die Ausbildung hinreichend leichter Platten erlaubt, die sich bei Montage und Demontage gut handhaben lassen und keine übermäßigen Anforderungen an die Befestigungselemente stellen.As an alternative or additional measure that serves the same purpose, a seal is introduced into the sealing material on the surface facing the building, ie on the inside. The plate of the protective device according to the invention must be waterproof and sufficiently stable to be able to withstand even greater water pressures in the long term. Therefore, the invention proposes the use of metal plates that meet these requirements and in particular recommends the use of aluminum, which is inexpensive and corrosion-resistant and, due to its comparatively low density, allows the formation of sufficiently light plates which can be easily handled during assembly and disassembly and do not place excessive demands on the fasteners.
Alternativ dazu schlägt die Erfindung die Verwendung von Holzplatten vor, die sich aufgrund ihrer Stabilität und ihres günstigen Preises sowie ihrer leichten Verarbeitbarkeit ebenfalls hervorragend für die erfindungsgemäße Schutzvorrichtung eignen.As an alternative to this, the invention proposes the use of wooden panels, which are also outstandingly suitable for the protective device according to the invention due to their stability and their low price as well as their ease of processing.
Damit die Holzplatten auch längeren Einsätzen im Wasser standhalten, ohne durch das Wasser Schaden zu nehmen, kann die Platte mit einem Überzug aus Kunststoff oder Aluminium versehen werden.To ensure that the wooden panels can withstand longer use in the water without being damaged by the water, the panel can be covered with a plastic or aluminum coating.
Die Platte der erfindungsgemäßen Schutzvorrichtung muß in ihrer Abmeßung dem jeweiligen Fenster oder der Tür entsprechen, weswegen sie in vielen Fällen recht unhandlich ist und zudem ein nicht unbe- trächtliches Gewicht aufweist. Zur Erleichterung der Handhabung wird in einer vorteilhaften Weiterbildung der Erfindung vorgeschlagen, die Platte an ihrer Vorderseite und/oder ihrer Rückseite mit ei- ne oder mehreren Griffen auszustatten, die ihre Handhabung bei Montage, Demontage und Transport erleichtern.The dimensions of the plate of the protective device according to the invention must correspond to the respective window or door, which is why it is quite unwieldy in many cases and also has a not inconsiderable weight. To facilitate handling, it is proposed in an advantageous development of the invention that the plate on its front side and / or its rear side with a to equip ne or more handles that facilitate their handling during assembly, disassembly and transport.
Für die Lagerung der Platten ist es günstig, die Griffe als abklappbare Griffe auszubilden. Bei Griffen, die an der nach außen weisenden Plattenvorderseite befestigt sind, bringt diese Gestaltung der Griffe den zusätzlichen Vorteil, zu vermeiden, daß sich im Hochwasser umhertreibende Gegenstände wie beispielsweise Äste an den Griffen verfangen und dadurch die Befestigungselemente der Schutzvorrichtung erheblichen Zusatzbelastungen aussetzen.For the storage of the plates, it is advantageous to design the handles as foldable handles. For handles that are attached to the outward-facing plate front, this design of the handles brings the additional advantage of avoiding floating objects such as branches on the handles and thereby exposing the fastening elements of the protective device to considerable additional loads.
Die Platte der erfindungsgemäßen Schutzvorrichtung muß die jeweilige Gebäudeöffnung unterhalb der Hochwasserlinie umlaufend abdichten, weswegen sie bei Türen und Toren eine Schwelle als Auflage und Abdichtfläche benötigt. In vorteilhafter Ausgestal- tung der Erfindung wird vorgeschlagen, dieseThe plate of the protective device according to the invention must seal the respective building opening circumferentially below the flood line, which is why it requires a threshold as a support and sealing surface for doors and gates. In an advantageous embodiment of the invention, it is proposed
Schwelle durch eine unmittelbar vor der Türöffnung verlaufende Vertiefung auszubilden, so daß die Schwelle insgesamt tiefgelegt ist und im Bereich ihrer Oberkante mit dem Niveau des umgebenden Bo- dens fluchtet. Eine Verringerung des Stolperrisikos an der Schwelle ist die vorteilhafte Folge. Durch Einbringung eines formangepaßten Balkens in die Vertiefung, der zur Montage der Schutzvorrichtung herausgenommen werden kann, läßt sich das Stolper- risiko sogar gänzlich beseitigen.To form the threshold by means of a depression running directly in front of the door opening, so that the threshold is lowered overall and is flush with the level of the surrounding floor in the region of its upper edge. A reduction in the risk of stumbling on the threshold is the advantageous consequence. The risk of tripping can even be completely eliminated by inserting a shape-matched bar into the recess, which can be removed for mounting the protective device.
In einer Fortbildung der Erfindung werden die Auflageflächen von Gebäudeöffnung und Platte jeweils angeschrägt, wodurch sich die räumliche Lage der Platte besser fixieren läßt und die Anforderungen an die Stärke der Befestigungselemente reduziert werden.In a further development of the invention, the contact surfaces of the building opening and plate are each beveled, whereby the spatial position of the plate can be fixed better and the requirements for the strength of the fasteners are reduced.
Zu vorteilhafter Weiterbildung der Erfindung wird die Platte zu den Rändern hin abgeschrägt. Dies ist insbesondere bei auf der Außenmauer eines Gebäudes anliegenden Platten von Vorteil, wo sonst die Ge- fahr besteht, daß im Hochwasser umhertreibende Gegenstände an den Kanten hängenbleiben und dadurch die Befestigungselemente zusätzlich belasten, wodurch die Schutzvorrichtung unter Umständen beschädigt und undicht werden könnte.In an advantageous further development of the invention, the plate is chamfered towards the edges. This is particularly advantageous in the case of slabs lying on the outer wall of a building, where there is otherwise the risk that objects floating around in the flood will get caught on the edges and thereby put additional stress on the fastening elements, as a result of which the protective device could possibly be damaged and leak.

The tension spring presses the plate (3) together with the sealing material (4) against the border of the building opening (1) consisting of the door frame (7) and door sill (8), as a result of which it is closed watertight. To make handling the plate (3) easier, it is on the back with a handle (6) equipped. The plate (3) is chamfered on its front side towards the edges (10) in order to reduce the risk that objects floating around in the flood, such as branches, for example, become stuck on the edges and additionally burden the fastening elements (5).
Im Ergebnis erhält man eine Hochwasserschutzvorrichtung für Gebäudeöffnungen wie Fenster, Türe oder Tore, die einfach und ohne Hilfsmittel zu installieren ist und die Gebäudeöffnung auch bei hohem Wasserdruck zuverlässig gegen eindringendes Hochwasser abdichtet und den Innenraum dadurch vor Hochwasserschäden schützt. The result is a flood protection device for building openings such as windows, doors or gates, which can be installed easily and without tools and which reliably seals the building opening against the ingress of flooding even at high water pressure and thereby protects the interior from flood damage.
