  • Patent number: 10533369
    Abstract: A seal for a sill-free door for sealing a gap between a door leaf and a floor has a carrier rail (2) and a sealing profile (3) retained on the carrier rail (2). The sealing profile (3) has a substantially u-shaped cross section with two limbs (30) and a sealing crosspiece (32), which connects the two limbs (30) to one another and is intended for bearing with sealing action on the floor. There is a cavity (37) present, said cavity being defined by an underside (23) of the carrier rail (2), by the limbs (30) and by the sealing crosspiece (32), wherein the sealing profile (3), on each limb (30), has at least one strip (34) which is arranged on an inner side of the limb (30), projects into the cavity and is intended for improving the sound insulation. At least two strips (34) have a thickness which is greater than the thickness of the adjacent region of the limb (30). Said seal has optimized sound insulation.

  • Publication number: 20190136609
    Abstract: A sealing device of a sliding door with a displaceably mounted door leaf has a lowering seal with a sealing strip and with an actuating mechanism for automatically lowering and raising the sealing strip. The sealing device has an activating unit for activating the lowering seal, wherein the activating unit has a first contact surface, a pivotably designed contact element and a pivotably designed force transmission element. Upon closing of the door leaf, the contact element contacts the first contact surface and moves, during the closing movement of the door leaf, with pivoting of the contact element, along the first contact surface. A pivoting movement of the contact element results in a pivoting movement of the force transmission element, with the result that the latter actuates the lowering seal.

  • Patent number: 10196854
    Abstract: The door seal comprises a fixing element (20) for fixing to a door, a seal receiving element (40), a lowering mechanical unit (20) for lifting and lowering the seal receiving element (40) relative to the fixing element (20), and a sealing element (50) fixed to the seal receiving element (40). The sealing element (50) provides a first sealing line (54a) by means of a first sealing element portion (54) which can be lifted or lowered by means of the lowering mechanical unit, and the first sealing element portion (54) is a sealing lip and/or a sealing arc. The sealing element (50) provides a second sealing line (55a) by means of a second sealing element portion (55), said second sealing line running parallel to the first sealing line (54a). The second sealing element portion (55) has a first and a second side (52, 56), said first side (52) can be lifted and lowered by means of the lowering mechanical unit and said second side (56) is fixed in its position relative to the fixing element (20).

  • Patent number: 10060183
    Abstract: The invention relates to a seal device for a door or a window having a housing rail (30) and a sealing strip (31, 32) retained in the housing rail (30). The seal also has at least one fastener (1) for fastening the housing rail (30) to a door leaf or window sash (T) of the door or window, wherein the fastener (1) comprises a plate (10) for lying on an end face of the door leaf or window sash (T) and a passage opening (12) for a screw (2), which passage opening is arranged in the plate (10). A retaining element (14, 43) for retaining the screw (2) is present in the passage opening (12). Said seal device enables one-handed mounting of the retaining bracket on the door leaf and thus makes the mounting of the seal easier.

  • Patent number: 9803418
    Abstract: The invention relates to a drop-down seal for a building part comprising a housing (1), a sealing strip (2, 3) that can be raised and lowered in said housing (1), and a spring-loaded lowering mechanism (8), which causes automatic lowering of the sealing strip (2, 3) when the building part is closed. The lowering mechanism (8) is connected to a slide (4, 6), which protrudes beyond the housing (1) at one end and which activates the lowering mechanism (8) when the building part is closed. The slide (4, 5) applies a tension to the lowering mechanism (8). The drop-down seal according to the invention enables a one-sided triggering in tension, wherein the seal has a space-saving design.
