  • Publication number: 20190390508
    Abstract: A device (1), for closing a room opening (2), comprising a frame (3) and a vertically pivoted casement or leaf (4) having at least one pivot point (5). The vertically pivoted casement or leaf (4) is fixed to the frame (3) at the pivot point so that the vertically pivoted casement or leaf (4) is rotatably relative to the frame (3) in the reveal (7) of the room opening (2). The device (1) comprises a first frame seal (8) to seal between the vertically pivoted casement or leaf (4) and the frame (3). The vertically pivoted casement or leaf (4) has an inside (9), an opposite outside (10) and an end face (11). In a closed position (40) of the vertically pivoted casement or leaf, the first frame seal (8) is arranged running around the end face of the vertically pivoted casement or leaf and is at least partially inflatable.

  • Patent number: 8915020
    Abstract: A device (100) for closing an opening in a room has a frame (102) in the reveal of the room opening and at least one leaf (104) which is arranged movably with respect to the frame (102) and is movable with respect to the frame into a closure position in which there is, between the frame (102) and the leaf (104), a gap (112) which can be sealed by means of a deformable and/or movable sealing member (114). A sealing member actuating device (120), by means of which the sealing member (114) can be deformed and/or moved, is arranged in the frame (102) and/or in the leaf (104) in order to seal the gap (112).

  • Publication number: 20110107674
    Abstract: A device (100) for closing a room opening includes a frame (102), at least one leaf (104), a deformable and/or moveable sealing member (114) and a sealing member actuation device (120). The frame (102) is adapted to be set in a reveal of a room opening, the leaf (104) being movably arranged relative to the frame (102) so as to move relative to the frame from an open to a closed position in which there nonetheless exists between the frame (102) and the leaf (104) a gap (112). The sealing member (114) is disposed at least substantially within the gap (112). The sealing member (114), when not pressurized, does not drag against an adjacent component of the device which is moving relative thereto when the room opening is opened or closed. The sealing member (114) is actuated by the actuation device (120) when the device is in a position suitable for actuation of the sealing member (114) so as to better ensure that the sealing member (114) does not drag against the adjacent component until desired.
