DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS
(12) FIG. 1 shows an inventive fitting 1 with a functional lock part configured as a lock insert 7, wherein for the sake of illustration, the rear frame 19, which surrounds the fitting element 4, and the terminal cap 22, which can be fitted to the rear frame 19, and the cover element 23 for introducing a profile cylinder, as illustrated in FIG. 6, are not illustrated in FIG. 1. The fitting 1 comprises a restraining area 2 (illustrated for example in FIG. 2) for a door element and includes a first fitting element 3 and a second fitting element 4, which at least sectionwise include a locating portion 6.1, which comprises an intermediate layer 5 resting against the door element. In the mounted condition, the fitting elements 3 and 4 delimit the restraining area 2 for the door element and form a free space 6 configured as the reception area, which serves for example for receiving the lock insert 7.1. In the present case, the lock insert 7.1 is configured integrally with a third fitting or connecting element, which is disposed between the fitting elements 3 and 4 and connectable to them. The connection between the connecting element and the fitting elements 3 and 4 is realized via adjusting elements with a head part 9.1, a connecting part 9.2 and a foot part 9.3. The adjusting elements can be disposed, respectively are guidable in coulisses via the connecting part 9.2, which are configured at the fitting element 4. The coulisses extend between the fitting elements 3 and 4 at least sectionwise via the free space 6 configured as a reception area between the fitting elements 3 and 4, respectively via the space formed between the fitting elements 3 and 4. Via the adjusting elements, the fitting element can be non-positively and/or positively coupled, respectively connected to the fitting element 4 via the coulisse. For this purpose, the adjusting elements are introduced with the connecting part 9.2 into the coulisse configured as a slot (slit) and are attached at the head part 9.1 by means of attaching elements 11, which in the present case are configured as screws. For this purpose, the attaching elements 11 pass through through-holes 10 of the fitting element into a bore 12, which is respectively configured in the foot part 9.3 of the adjusting elements. In this case, the bore 12 is preferably configured as an internal thread bore, into which the attaching elements 11 configured as screws non-positively and/or positively engage. By screwing the attaching elements 11 in, respectively by tightening them, the adjusting elements are pulling in the direction of the fitting element and thereby clamp in the coulisse. This means that the fitting element is non-positively and/or positively connected to the fitting element 4 via the adjusting elements, namely in the coulisse configured at the fitting element 4. As the adjusting elements are guided, respectively supported to be displaceable in the coulisse of the fitting element 4, the fitting elements 3 and 4 can be spaced apart and adapted to the glass thickness of a door element, in this case without having to modify the thickness of the intermediate layer 5. This means that independently of the thickness of the door element, respectively of the glass or the material of the door element restrained in the restraining area 2, the material thickness of the intermediate layer 5 always remains constant such that the distance of the fitting elements 3 and 4 to the door element and thereby also the flush termination of the frame 19 surrounding the fitting elements 3 and 4, here in particular the flush termination at the edge 21 configured at the border 20 at the door element are maintained independently of the glass thickness of the door element.
(13) In addition, via the adjusting elements, if required and allowed by the installation situation of the inventive fitting 1 at a door element, in particular at a glass door element, the lock insert 7.1 connected to the fitting element can be aligned centrally to the door leaf thickness of the door element and preferably centrally to the glass thickness of the glass door element. In this way, in a preferred manner, a homogenous appearance can be provided between the lock insert 7.1 and the door leaves used for the door element and in particular for the glass panes used for the glass door element.
(14) At the fitting elements 3 and 4, at the side facing away from the reception area 6, an under-rosette 24 can be put, respectively attached thereto, which in the present case just like the fitting elements 3 and 4 have a cutout in the shape of a profile cylinder, which is adapted to the cutout in the lock insert 7.1 configured for a profile cylinder. The under-rosette 24 passes through the frame 19 and through the terminal cap 22, and on the terminal cap 22 it is surrounded by a cover element 23, in the present case by a rosette. In this case, also the cover element 23 configured as a rosette includes a cutout for a profile cylinder. The length of the profile cylinder not illustrated here is to be selected according to the length of the door leaf thickness of the door element, in this case in particular to the glass thickness of the glass door element restrained between the fitting elements 3 and 4, respectively to be adapted thereto. In the present case, threaded pins 25.1, which are configured in the shape of headless screws serve for supporting the under-rosette 24 at the profile cylinder and which engage in a bore 26.1 configured as an internal thread bore of the under-rosette 24 and reach abutment at the profile cylinder, which is not illustrated here. In the present case, the fitting element includes an aperture 15 for passing through a functional element of the lock insert 7.1 configured as a mounting module 27, to which for example a dead bolt can be mounted.
(15) FIG. 2 shows the structural components of the inventive fitting 1 illustrated in Figure in a mounted condition in a frontal view. The fitting element is configured integrally with the lock insert 7.1 formed as a functional lock part 7, which here cannot be seen as it is illustrated behind the fitting element. The attaching elements 11, which connect the fitting element to the adjusting elements, are disposed to be accessible for a user from the outside. In the present case the attaching elements 11 configured as screws rest with their screw head in a terminal, respectively abutment position at the fitting element, whereby the adjusting elements are at least non-positively coupled in the coulisses of the fitting element 4. On the left and right sides of the fitting element, between the frame 19 and the fitting elements 3 and 4, a marking A provided on the coulisse can be seen. The marking A reads the adjustment of the fitting 1, namely the size of the restraining area 2. Insofar, the marking A allows for reading as well the door element thickness, in particular the glass thickness of a restrained glass door element. As can be seen in the frontal illustration of the fitting 1, the frame 19 with its border 20 overlaps the fitting element on both sides at least sectionwise, here in this illustration at the top and at the bottom. If the restraining area 2 is enlarged, i.e. the distance between the fitting elements 3 and 4 is widened, thus also the frames 19, which respectively surround the fitting elements 3 and 4 and are disposed on both sides at the fitting elements 3 and 4, are spaced apart from each other, and thereby reduce the sectionwise overlapping of the border 20 of the frame 19 over the fitting element, such that with an increasing restraining area 2 also a larger surface of the fitting element is revealed. In this case, with the spacing of the frames 19 with the fitting elements 3 and 4 also an increased area of the marking A is revealed.
(16) The structure of a fitting 1, as already illustrated in FIG. 1, is shown in FIG. 3. However, the fitting 1 illustrated in FIG. 3 does not serve for accommodating a profile cylinder, but for accommodating a round cylinder in the fitting 1. For this purpose, just the cover element 23 is exchanged, namely the rosette, which rests on the terminal caps 22. All other structural components remain the same, just like in the embodiment of the fitting 1 for accommodating a profile cylinder, as illustrated in FIG. 1. Insofar, with the simplified exchange of the cover element 23, namely the rosette with a reception for a round cylinder, the inventive fitting 1 can be configured for both accommodating a profile cylinder and for accommodating a round cylinder.
(17) In FIG. 4 a functional lock part configured as a lock strike box is illustrated in an inventive fitting 1. A fitting element configured as a plate or a strike plate with a recess is disposed between the fitting elements 3 and 4 instead of the lock insert 7.1. In the event of clamping at a glass leaf door element, the recess 15 serves for passing through a dead bolt, respectively for accommodating the dead bolt between the fitting elements in the free space 6, formed by the glass cutout and by the fitting elements of the fitting 1 configured as a lock strike box. As can be seen, the configuration of the fitting 1 as a lock strike box does not require any other fitting elements 3 and 4 and compared to the fitting 1 illustrated in FIGS. 1 and 3. In addition, the under-rosettes 24 as well as the cover elements 23, namely the rosettes, are omitted. Just the terminal caps 22 differ from the fittings 1 illustrated in the FIGS. 1 and 3, namely in that they do not include any window and that the terminal caps 22 affixed to the frame 19 cover the entire full-face of the fitting elements 3 and 4.
(18) FIG. 5 shows the fitting 1 of FIG. 4 configured as a lock strike box in the mounted condition. The recess 15 allows for a view into the free space 6 configured as a reception area between the fitting elements 3 and 4.
(19) FIG. 6 shows an inventive fitting 1, which is configured as a corner fitting with a functional lock part formed as a lock strike box. The fitting elements 3 and 4 are respectively surrounded by a frame 19, at which respectively one terminal cap 22 is attached. As the fitting elements 3 and 4 are preferably made from metal, metal allow or also for example from a plastic material metal alloy, the locating portions 6.1 comprise one intermediate layer 5 for each fitting element 3 and 4, which layer serves for the abutment of a door element against the fitting elements 3 and 4. As the door element is preferably a glass door element, on the one hand the intermediate layer 5 serves for preventing the contact of metal on glass. On the other hand, the intermediate layers 5 assist with the dampening properties of the inventive fitting 1. Said properties of the intermediate layer 5 are not only applicable to the here illustrated fitting 1 in FIG. 6, but also to the fittings 1 illustrated in the FIGS. 1 to 5. Respectively one mount 25, which serves for disposing, i.e. for inserting exchangeable distancing elements 18 and 18.1, is provided in the lower area of the fitting elements 3 and 4. In the fitting element 4, the mount 25 is a recess in the shape of a pocket hole, which serves at least for the positive accommodation or the arrangement of the distancing element 18. The mount 25 illustrated for the fitting element 3 for the distancing element 18.1 is configured as a separate structural component, which engages, respectively can be inserted for example into a bore, in particular into a pocket hole configured at the fitting element 3. The mount 25 of the fitting element 3, just like the mount 25 of the fitting element 4, has a recess, which serves for inserting, respectively for a positive connection to the exchangeable distancing element 18 or 18.1. With the intention to achieve a non-positive and/or positive connection between the fitting elements 3 and 4 and the fitting element, the fitting element is configured as a connecting element 17, which is operatively connected to the holding element 16, and together they form an adjusting mechanism, which is transferable from a fixing condition in a released condition and vice versa. In the present case, the connecting element 17 is non-positively and/or positively connected to the holding element 16 via two adjusting, respectively attaching elements 11. The holding element 16 being in operative connection with the connecting element 17 is guided to be movable in a coulisse in the fitting element 3 and the fitting element 4, which coulisse is configured as a free space in the shape of a recess 14, in the present case configured as a groove. In this case, the coulisse configured as a recess 14 respectively as a free space, is configured parallel to the longitudinal extension of the fitting elements 3 and 4. Thereby advantageously, the fitting element configured with the holding element 16 as a connecting element 17 is displaceable parallel to the longitudinal extension of the fitting elements with the adjusting element configured as a holding element 16. Correspondingly, the fitting element is also movable vertically to the longitudinal extension of the fitting elements in the distance formed as the free space 6 between the fitting elements 3 and 4. Thereby, the fitting element, in particular the aperture 15 thereof is adjustable to a dead bolt engaging therein. After aligning, respectively adjusting the fitting element, which is advantageously configured as a connecting element 17, via the holding element 16 the connecting element 17 is fixed in its position at least non-positively to the fitting elements 3 and 4 at the fitting elements 3 and 4.
(20) As already described, attaching elements 11 and advantageously screws, which pass through through-holes 10 in the shape of bores 12 configured in the connecting element 17 serve for the non-positive and/or positive connection between the fitting element configured as a connecting element 17 and the adjusting element configured as a holding element 16. Advantageously, the through-holes 10 or bores 12 are configured as internal thread bores, into which the attaching elements 11 engage non-positively and/or positively after passing through through-holes 10.
(21) In the present case, the holding element 16 and the connecting element 17 are configured as two interconnected structural components comprising an attaching mechanism, respectively the adjusting mechanism, which presently is incorporated into both structural components, namely in the holding element 16 and the connecting element 17. For transferring the adjusting, respectively the attaching mechanism form the released condition, in which the holding element 16 is supported to be movable in the longitudinal extension of the fitting elements 3 and 4 in the coulisse configured as a recess 14, into the fixing condition, the attaching elements 11, which connect the holding element 16 via the connecting part 16.2 to the connecting element 17, are screwed into the through-holes 10. When screwing the attaching elements 11 into the connecting part 16.2 of the holding element 16, the head part 16.1 of the holding element 16 at least sectionwise gets non-positively clamped in the coulisse, configured as a recess 14 in the shape of a groove or a slot, at the fitting elements 3 and 4. Thus, in the fixing condition of the adjusting, respectively the attaching mechanism, the displaceability of the holding element 16 and of the connecting element 17 operatively connected to the holding element 16 is disabled, by immobilizing the holding element 16 at the fitting elements 3 and 4.
(22) In the present case, the connecting part 16.2 is configured with tappets 28. The tappets 28 have respectively one bore 12, through which the attaching elements 11 engage, which are guided in the through-holes 10 and thereby non-positively and/or positively connect the fitting element, namely here as illustrated the connecting element 17 to the holding element 16. The head part 16.1 of the holding element 16 situated vertically to the connecting part 16.2 includes at least one and in the present case respectively a resting surface on the left and right sides of the connecting part 16.2, which surface serves for guiding the holding element 16 in the coulisse, respectively the recess 14 configured as a groove in the fitting elements 3 and 4, and for non-positively coupling thereto. For assisting the non-positive coupling between the head part 16.1 and the coulisse configured as a recess 14, the resting surface of the head part 16.1 may include a ribbing, for example a diamond-shaped ribbing, which engages into a ribbing configured in the coulisses, such that in addition to the non-positive connection between the holding element 16 and the fitting elements 3 and 4 also a positive connection is provided in the fixing condition of the adjusting mechanism, respectively the attaching mechanism. Obviously, this embodiment of the holding element 16 is also applicable to the exemplary embodiments illustrated in FIGS. 1 to 5, wherein however, in particular the connecting part 16.2 of the holding element 16 guided in the coulisse includes for example a ribbing.
(23) In the configuration of the inventive fitting 1 as a lock strike box, illustrated in FIG. 6, the maximum glass thickness of the door element restrained in the inventive fitting 1 and thereby the adjustment of the restraining area 2 to the leaf thickness of a door element is limited by the resting surface of the head part 16.1 of the holding element 16, because the latter, as described-above, is guided in the coulisses configured as recesses 14 of the fitting elements 3 and 4 and is non-positively and/or positively coupled to the recesses 14 via the attaching elements 11, which connect the holding element 16 to the fitting element configured as a connecting element 17.
(24) FIG. 7 shows the inventive fitting 1 of FIG. 6 in the mounted condition in a frontal view. As can be seen, the fitting element configured as a connecting element 17 and including an aperture 15 for the reception of a dead bolt, is displaceable between the fitting elements 3 and 4 with the holding element 16 at least sectionwise, here in the Figure to the left to the right, i.e. parallel to the fitting elements 3 and 4. In the event the fitting 1, in the present case configured as a lock strike box, is clamped for example at a vertical edge of a door element, the displaceability of the holding element 16 and the fitting element 17 operatively connected thereto allow for adjusting the aperture 15 configured in the fitting element 17 height variably to the engagement of a dead bolt. Insofar, with the here illustrated inventive fitting 1, a lock strike box can be realized, which is adjustable, i.e. here in particular variably height-adjustable at the vertical edge of a door.
(25) FIG. 8 shows a detailed view of the section A of FIGS. 1 to 5. The detailed view A is a marking configured on the coulisse. As can be seen, the marking shows indications in the millimeter range, and in the present case preferably indications to standardized glass door thicknesses. Said marking A is thus able to pre-adjust the inventive fitting 1 to the known door leaf thicknesses, in particular glass thickness of glass door elements.
