Abstract: An electromagnetic device for restraining hinged door leaves in a closed position within a door frame as well as for opening hinged door leaves which are restrained in the closed position. The electromagnetic device has an electrically active part located in the door frame, and a closing counterpiece located in the hinged door leaf where upon the production of an electromagnetic field at the electrically active part a slidable counterpole piece portion of the closing counterpiece slides toward the electrically active part such that a portion of the counterpole piece engages in a free space within the door leaf thus restraining the door leaf in a closed position within the door frame.

Abstract: The aim of the invention is to provide an electromagnetic device for door leaves that can be pivoted, whereby a door closing and stopping device and a door opening device form a constructional unit and a door leaf that can be pivoted and is closed when resting on a door sealing can be securely close. According to the invention, a positive fit is produced between the door leaf (8) that can be pivoted and the frame (1) of the door and between pole flanges (2; 3) of an electromagnetic device and a U-shaped antipole component (11) that is provided with a connecting piece (13) which consists of non-magnetic material, as soon as the door leaf (8) rests on the door stop (20) in the closing position The connecting piece (13) which slightly rises above the anitpole component (11) engages in a gap between the pole flanges (1; 2) in the closing position.
