[0001] The invention relates to a gate for closing an opening in a fence or other enclosure with a door leaf guided at at least one carrier.

[0002] in a fence or other enclosure Zum closing an opening, e.g. a property entry , many different types are known doors, such as:

[0003]-wing gates mounted on a vertical support, the can be laterally untwist,

[0004]- on a vertical carrier mounted concertina doors, the fold can be laterally untwist and,

[0005]- sliding doors guided on a vertical support, the can be moved laterally,

[0006]- sliding doors guided on a vertical support, the can be entirely straight from displacing upward,

[0007]- sliding doors guided on a vertical support, the can be entirely straight downwardly Move (in a ground recess),

[0008]-barrier gates , the can be swing upwards,

[0009]- roller doors, the can be upwardly furl,

[0010]- up-and-over doors, and

[0011]-shears lattice gates

[0012] Many of the currently known about the need to release property gates[...] , in each case directly laterally next to the gate has a opening region, but for which, in particular as a result of more and smaller land and more and more cars is not always sufficient space. Some of these gates have a very high, often unsightly construction at, the autopassage height goes far beyond the usual. Some of the gates, by virtue of their construction not be adapted to the design of the adjacent fence, what may be visually objectionable.

[0013] also the time for different types of gates entry openings in buildings are known. Among other things, there are so-called sectional doors, the consist in several horizontal, superposed sections, are connected the to one another in an articulated manner. The entry opening in this test is formed from the sections and thus more than the door panel and the fleas entry opening closes completely from overhead clearance. In the open state of the door is located the door leaf in a horizontal position above the entry opening. In the individual sections can be installed the viewing apertures.

[0014] is the purpose of the present invention, a gate for closing an opening in a fence or other enclosure to create, upon opening of the door the side next to the opening required no place, the construction of which no high carrier, the go beyond autopassage height provides far beyond the usual, , and which preferably can be adapted to the fence or optically the enclosure.

[0015] This problem is solved according to the invention thereby that in the case of a door for closing an opening in a fence or other enclosure with a door leaf guided at at least one carrier from a section or more articulated horizontal sections the door leaf is made, in a fixed to the support rail is guided or are, which has a vertical portion, the via a curved portion merges in a substantially horizontal section, wherein the door leaf from its closed position to release the opening in the vertical portion of the rail is displaceable in full or in part in the substantially horizontal portion. This property gate needs no place upon opening laterally to the invention, since it is drawn upwardly. The whole construction is only little higher than the usual autopassage height , however, since the door leaf in the open state of the door horizontally above the [...]Austrian

[...] opening extends. The section can, or the sections can optically be adapted to the appearance of the same project can represent or shaped fencing panels, e.g. with a frame and an inner filling of rods or panels or a frame and externally attached slats, each having the height of the section have, if not higher. The guide rails from outside the land behind the support can, e.g. a column, and be run, at least if we directly opposite the gate is, concealed from the support.

[0016] As already of sectional doors for buildings known, can, or the section (s) laterally rollers can, the bear run in the rail,.

[0017] in order to achieve a more stable guide of the door leaf, can, or the sections can) be guided at both ends in a respective rail.

[0018] according to invention the height from the section or the juxtaposed sections is of the less than that of the vertical portion of the rail and corresponds to existing door panel preferably the height of the fence or respectively of the enclosure. The Tor can thus be designed that it optically opaque in appearance like a garden gate extends or is about the same height as a fence constructed and has no obvious visible construction. The Tor, which at least on a support, such as a column, and the height of one fence gate has is guided (and further up to the usual autopassage height such as, e.g. from carports has no partion insertion), vertically and then horizontally over an arc can first be shifted on at least the usual overhead clearance. Therefore, given entry width and thereby the entire free overhead clearance.

[0019] according to the invention on at least one side and preferably engages Zum lifting of the gate at both sides of the section or respectively of the uppermost section to a tensioning cable or a tensioning chain. Over the traction cable or the method can be manually or with the aid of a motor Drivetrain the door.

[0020] Alternatively, with at least one side and preferably with both sides of the section are or respectively of the uppermost section in each case one or a plurality of articulately connected articulated tensile vitrified, the bear with at least one traction rope or tow chain connecting the door leaf, wherein the tensile vitrified rollers, the rails run in the same, as the section or the sections,. Although the door leaf may have a small height, e.g. a height adapted to the fence height, said assembly being guided by the guided tensile vitrified stable up for overhead clearance. The width of the tensile vitrified can be so selected that it is represented by the carrier, to which the rails are fixed, are covered.

[0021] in accordance with one embodiment, are provided on both sides with the section or respectively of the uppermost section connected tensile vitrified, the uppermost tensile vitrified are interconnected by a rod centrally on the rod at and a tensioning cable or a tensioning chain engages. The number and are here preferably chosen so the heights of the tensile vitrified that even when the gate is closed, the rod extending in the horizontal portion of the track and thus outside the [...].

[0022] The carrier is a post, a column or a wall.

[0023] according to invention the carrier has a vertical element is fixed on said vertical portion of said rail, and a horizontal element, to which the horizontal portion of the rail is secured to the vertical member and the horizontal member of the carrier can. Eg vertical beams and horizontal bars of a be carports.

[0024] Alternatively, the rail having its vertical portion and the horizontal portion of the rail can be fastened to the support be cantilevered.

[0025] in order to clarify the invention, it is described in more detail below with reference to the in the attached drawings schematically represented embodiments. 1a shows a design variant of a in a fence installed Fig. Heat to the invention in a fragmentary view port. 1b shows another embodiment variant of a in a fence [...]Austrian Fig.

th side part opinion 2 shows the gate is in a cut Gate. Fig. the invention. Figures 3a, 3b and 3c show three embodiment variant of the inventive doorway located in a fragmentary view.

[0026] 1a and 1b we see as pillars In the figures 2 exported carrier. Left and right panels are located adjacent the supports 2 is in two embodiment variant. In Fig. fence field 1a an example is one with external suction filling 3a, 4 and 5 consisting of a frame attached slats, shown. In Fig. fence field 1b an example is for a 3b with inner filling, consisting of a frame 4 and a centrally in the frame 4 inserted panel 6, represented. In each case the door leaf 2 is located between the columns. The respective variant 3a and 3b adapted to are bolted in the appearance is of the door panel. The 1b shown in 1b faces 16 on panel inboard fillings Fig. door panel and the door panel 1a 1a in Fig. [...] 15 on points outwardly located fillings. The Door panels 1a, 1b each consist of two horizontally arranged one above the other sections 7, are connected in an articulated manner with each other. 1a and 1b consist of two in the fillings, in accordance with the height of the door panels 16 or of two rows in the viewing height and matched panels 15 slats.

[0027] 2 and 3 of the invention is In the figures in a first variant represented Tor. The door leaf 2 in section 1 is here represented and consists of two sections 7 in Fig. via a joint 8 are connected with each other the. In the area of the upper edge of the upper section 7, and 8 in the region of the joint in the region of the lower edge of the lower section carries the door leaf 1 rollers 7 9, 10 engage and run in a rail and be guided during movement of the door leaf 1 there. The rail has a vertical portion 10, (not shown) is connected to the column 2, which is followed by a curved portion, of the passes in a horizontal portion. When opening of the door is the door leaf 1 from the illustrated vertical lower position, in which it closes the opening in the fence and thus the entry, the curvature in a horizontal position parallel to the horizontal portion of the via 10 brought and driveway decontrols rail. The horizontal portion of said rail is located just above the desired overhead clearance. The opening of the gate and laterally of the door requires no place is only slightly above the usual autopassage height a construction the total height of the entry. Zum lifting of the door leaf in the region of the upper edge of the uppermost section 1 engages a traction cable 7 to 11, the deflecting elements (not shown) via corresponding to an electric motor or a manual actuator is guided. For a plan view of the door from the outside of the land, i.e. in the direction of the arrow in Figures 2 and 3 the edge of the door leaf 12 are concealed 1 and the rail 10. Therefore we see only the door leaf 1 and further has no structural elements of the door and the impression of a conventional garden gate is adapted in its design to the panels of the fence.

[0028] a second variant according to the invention is shown for the port 3b Fig. In. The upper section 13 is connected in an articulated manner to a first draw plate 7 of the door leaf 1, which in turn is connected with a second draw plate 13 in an articulated manner. In the field of all joints 8 and 9 in the region of the upper edge of the second draw plate 13 are provided rollers, the run 10 in the rail. The 13 is so selected width of the tensile vitrified that the tensile vitrified 2 are largely concealed seen from the column 13, if the door from outside the land, i.e. in the direction of the arrow 12,. This creates the impression of a conventional garden gate is adapted in its design to the panels of the fence. Located on the uppermost draw plate 11 to 13 or a pulling chain engages a traction cable. The height 13 is so selected and the number of tensile vitrified that the upper edge of the uppermost draw plate 13 lies in the region of the maximum overhead clearance, whereby a good force transfer from the traction cable 13 and the door leaf 11 to the tensile vitrified and the movement of the door panel 1 gives 1 takes place without interference.

[0029] Fig. 3c shows a very similar construction, in which 13 are provided also tensile vitrified. In this variant the door leaf on both sides with rollers 9 in the rail 1 is also hingedly mounted at both sides 10 and has guided on 13 tensile vitrified. The 14 connected with a rod 13 are two uppermost tensile vitrified and a central tension cable 11 engages in the Austrian

Middle of the link 14 to, order to move the door leaf 1. The rod 14 is located at all times, i.e. also in the closed state of the gate, in the horizontal region of the rails 13 are 10. The number and the heights of the tensile vitrified selected accordingly.

[0030] The according to the invention can be mounted on two pillars Tor. At the columns are mounted either horizontal beam portions, the said horizontal portion of the rail and the horizontal portion of the rail bearing or the curved section are cantilevered. Another possibility is that four columns are provided, two in the plane of the fence and one point to another within the land arranged, wherein the columns are connected by transverse beams above the overhead clearance, the carry the horizontal portions of the rails. Accordingly the gate can be used as a support for the rails also the posts of a carports.
