The insert member comprises a slideway (6) being fixable with regard to the U-shaped rail (5) etc.

Abstract: The invention relates to a door having at least one wing which can be swivelled about a lower hinge axis of a bearing device of a lower door rail, and about an upper hinge axis of a bearing device of an upper door rail relative to a door closer disposed within an upper tubular door frame. The upper hinge axis is defined by an adjustable first hinge part which is disposed on the outside of an upper wing frame section and which is capable of swivelling in a limited fashion about an essentially vertical alignment axis, and by a second hinge part which is essentially horizontally displaceable 1) in a limited fashion on the first hinge part and 2) essentially parallel to the plane of the wing. The first and second hinge parts are capable of being fixed in place.

Abstract: The invention relates to a door, especially an all glass door, with a bearing recess provided which extends perpendicularly to a vertical edge of the door. The bearing recess has a side opening for the insertion of pivot pin at the end which is closest to the vertical edge.

Abstract: The invention relates to a mounting for a door or window, especially an all-glass door or an all-glass window. A vertical frame piece provides a vertically extending receiving space accessible via a vertical slit for an anchor with an internal thread. A screw penetrating a hinge part is screwed into this thread. The anchor has a transverse dimension smaller than the width of the slit and a longitudinal dimension greater than the width of the slit. A friction drive member for the anchor is located in the slit and penetrated by the screw.

Abstract: A metal fitting for an all-glass plate member for use as a door, window or the like and including a pair of clamping plates positioned on the opposite face surfaces of the plate member and covering a recess through the plate member. Each clamping plate has an elongated recess aligned with the recess in the plate member. The recess in the plate member and the recesses in the clamping plates define a receiving space for a hinge member. The hinge member is formed of at least two hinge member parts each associated with a different clamping plate with the hinge member plates located within the receseses in the clamping plates. The clamping plate recesses have a pair of shoulders each located at an opposite end of the recess. The hinge member parts bear against the shoulders. The hinge member includes an intermediate part located within the recess in the plate member. On one side the intermediate part has a projecting region in contact with one of the hinge member parts.

Abstract: The edge rail for a window pane (3) in particular an all-glass door comprises at least two clamping rail sections (5, 7) which embrace the edge of the pane (3) and are spaced apart in the longitudinal direction of the edge, each comprising two profiled rail members interconnected by clamping screws (41) extending transversely to the face of the pane. A fitting, e.g. a flanged rail mortice lock (9) is provided between the two clamping rail sections (5, 7) fixed to both clamping rail sections (5, 7) preferably via spacer members (17, 19). It is not necessary to mill rebates into the preferably extruded profiles of the clamping rail sections for accommodating the lock. Cover strips are fitted in positive engagement, releasably to the clamping rail sections (5, 7).

Abstract: A control mechanism for a door including a first and a second longitudinal bar hinged together at their ends with the opposite ends of the bars being hinged, respectively, at a door and a frame. The hinge device joining together the ends of the bars includes a hinge pin with recesses on one of the bars and a spring loaded locking element on the other bar adapted to engage within the recesses for holding the door in the open position.

Abstract: A valve for adjusting the closing speed of a door closer includes a generally cylindrical valve member having a tubular portion and a solid portion. The valve member is received with sliding contact in a blind-end bore of a valve body. The wall of the tubular portion of the valve member has an opening which is positionable into communication with an inlet conduit provided in the valve body in such a way that an axial adjustment of the valve member changes the cross-sectional area of the passage created between the inlet conduit and the opening. A body of elastic foam material with closed-wall cells is arranged in the interior of the tubular portion and is placed across the opening. In operation, fluid flowing through the valve applies pressure to the body and presses it away from the opening, so that the fluid can flow between the wall of the tubular portion and the body of elastic foam material without creating a hissing sound.

Abstract: An axially extending closer shaft for a door closer is made up of an axially extending first section mounted in a door closer housing and an axially extending second section aligned with and connected to the first section and located outside of the housing. A plurality of annular grooves are formed in the second section extending perpendicularly of the shaft axis and spaced apart in the direction of the shaft axis. The second section can be cut to the desired length in the plane of one of the grooves. The first and second sections can be connected together by a plurality of bolts extending in the axial direction of the shaft or by a single shaft and coupling balls positioned within recesses in the first shaft and in bores in the second shaft.

Abstract: The edge fitting assembly for the bottom edge of a glass door includes two bars elongated in a common, horizontal direction and spaced from each other at right angles to the common direction. Two fastening blocks are releasably secured in longitudinally spaced relationship between the bars and at least partly covered by the bars. The blocks define respective, upwardly open, aligned grooves in which the bottom edge of the door panel is received. Each bar is enveloped by a cover of sheet material which is locked to the bar by an elongated locking member simultaneously received in a groove formed in one of the two narrow edge portions of the bar and a groove defined in the portion of the cover which envelops the edge portion in such a manner that the cover cannot move away from the wide face portion of the bar which connects the edge portions.
