  • Publication number: 20140311034
    Abstract: A closing profile for mounting on one of two opposite members of a door assembly, at least one of the opposite members being a rotatable door, the closing profile including a mounting member by means of which the closing profile is mounted to a reveal part of the one member of the door assembly and a flexible member connected to the mounting member, the flexible member being shaped for engaging a complementary edge part on the other member of the door assembly and for releasably maintaining the door in a closed position. The closing profile may have a hollow space between the flexible member and the mounting member, to enable the flexible member to deform resiliently towards the mounting member upon opening the door, and the flexible member is preferably longitudinally divided into two wings, each being provided for engaging the complementary edge part and maintaining the closed position in one direction of opening the door, the wings being bendable independently from each other towards the mounting member.

  • Patent number: 8850747
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a door assembly comprising two opposite members, at least one of which being a rotatable door, and a closing system which is provided for being mounted to one of the opposite members, wherein the closing system comprises a holder profile, at least one engaging member for engaging a complementary edge part on the opposite member to maintain the door in closed position, the engaging member being at least partly elastically deformable to enable opening of the door in at least one direction, and a blocking member with which the opening of the door can be prevented in one direction or the other, wherein the engaging and blocking members are formed by mutually exchangeable strips which are to different extents compressible and which are releasably mountable to the holder profile of the closing system.

  • Patent number: 8701248
    Abstract: Door construction includes a door panel and at the top and at the bottom each time a self-closing pivot hinge. Each of the pivot hinges includes a spring which extends along the rotation axle and which provides a self-closing function to the pivot hinge. Each of the pivot hinges includes a first cam element and a second cam element which are pushed onto each other by the spring and push the door panel towards the closed position under the influence of the spring pressure. The first cam element includes at least one protrusion which upon rotation runs along a running surface with inclined parts of the second cam element. The second cam element is movably mounted in longitudinal direction of the pivot axle by means of a pen which is accommodated in a slotted hole of the second cam element. The slotted hole extends at least partly between the inclined parts of the running surface.

  • Publication number: 20100077668
    Abstract: A modular rail system for suspending sliding doors, including at least one rail profile having a top side arranged for being fixed against a horizontal wall part, a bottom side having a rail portion for carrying suspension wheels of a sliding door, a first lateral side arranged for being fixed against a vertical wall part, and an open second lateral side. On both opposite lateral sides the rail profile includes recesses having substantially the same shape for engaging complementary spacer elements. A sliding door system including a rail system, at least one sliding door with suspension wheels and at least one repositionable braking/stopping element having a stop for defining an extreme position of the sliding door and a releasable fixing element for fixing the braking/stopping element in the rail system. The fixing element is spaced a predetermined distance from the stop, chosen for maintaining user accessibility to the fixing element while the stop is located in a user inaccessible position.

  • Patent number: 7624553
    Abstract: The invention relates to a door comprising a door panel forming a front surface and a back surface of the door, and a grip integrated into the door panel and extending from the front surface up to the back surface of the door panel, the grip being shaped to enable users to open/close the door. The grip extends over substantially an entire dimension of the front and back surfaces and divides the door panel into separate door panel segments extending on opposite sides of the grip. The invention further relates to an assembly comprising a door and at least one interchangeable grip, the door comprising a door panel forming a front surface and a back surface of the door, and a fixing element integrated into the door panel and extending from the front surface up to the back surface of the door panel, the fixing element being provided for removably fixing the at least one interchangeable grip.
