Patent number: 7343644Abstract: A fitting for an all-glass door with an upper bearing which substantially includes a fitting body with a glass receptacle and/or a clamping device for a glass leaf and with a bearing pin for engagement in a counterbearing at an overpanel or in a frame. The bearing pin is displaceable in a pocket hole. To provide a fitting that resists intrusion after the glass door is installed, the bearing pin of the fitting is secured in such a way that the glass leaf is prevented from being lifted out when the all-glass door is closed.Type: GrantFiled: October 20, 2004Date of Patent: March 18, 2008Assignee: Dorma GmbH + Co.

Patent number: 7328482Abstract: The invention relates to a fitting system according to parent application DE 101 19 987.3 for rotatably bearing a door leaf (2) in a glass construction. A fitting (1) is disposed on the top and/or at the bottom of said door leaf (2) and interacts with a complementary counter-fitting. A bearing axis extends in the plane of the door leaf and every fitting (1) is subdivided longitudinally by an intermediate space (3), while forming opposite bearing surfaces (7, 8), into at least partially spaced-apart fitting elements (4, 5) that can be disposed in a form-fit in a recess (9) of the door leaf (2). In order to stabilize the fitting system and to provide tamper-proof and protected fittings (1) that are also optically appealing, the fitting elements (4, 5) are fastened to the door leaf (2) by means of pins (16, 17) that are introduced at an angle to the longitudinal direction in through bores (14, 15) and in blind bores (12, 13) of the two fitting elements (4,5), while reducing the intermediate space (3).Type: GrantFiled: November 5, 2002Date of Patent: February 12, 2008Assignee: Dorma GmbH + Co.
