  • Patent number: 10711510
    Abstract: A fixation device for limiting a gap between a first construction component and a second construction component relative to which the first construction component is movable has first and second fitting parts attached to the first and second construction components, respectively. The first fitting part has a fixation projection with first end and opposed second end. The first end is pivotable about a fixation axis fixed at the first construction component. The fixation projection is pretensioned so as to pivot the second end away from the first construction component. The second fitting part has a guiding surface and a holding element. Fixation projection and guiding surface interact such that, when the construction parts are moved toward each other, the second end glides along the guiding surface toward the holding element and catches therein. A folding device of construction components is provided with such fixation devices.

  • Patent number: 10415282
    Abstract: A hinge arrangement for detachably connecting construction elements that are to be pivotably connected to each other is provided with an axial pin with a first end provided with a collar wider than the pin body. A first hinge part with a first bushing is to be connected to a first construction component. A second hinge part with a second bushing is to be connected to a second construction component. The first and second hinge parts are connected pivotably to each other by the axial pin extending through the first and second bushings. The axial pin has a recess. The first hinge part has a fixation element extending into the first bushing and slidable transverse to a longitudinal extension of the axial pin. The fixation element has a projection projecting in a connected state of the first and second construction elements into the recess of the axial pin.

  • Patent number: 8186123
    Abstract: A sliding wall has at least one door provided with an actuating element for locking the door. A pinch protection device is connected to the door. The pinch protection device has a cover element having a covering position and an open position. The cover element is transferable from the covering position into the open position and from the open position into the covering position. A receiving space for accommodating functional elements of the door is provided. The cover element covers the receiving space in the covering position and in the open position opens the receiving space.
