DETAILED DESCRIPTION

(13) In FIG. 1, an industrial extraction system 1 is shown, having a filter housing which can be closed and locked via a filter door 2.

(14) The filter housing contains a filter 21, which is formed for example as a HEPA filter 21. The filter is preferably removed by means of a bag (Bag-in & Bag-out method). The filter door 2 is opened and closed with the locking means/element 3.

(15) The locking means 3 are, for example, knurled screws, which cooperate with threads 18 in the region of the opening of the filter door 2 of the industrial extraction system 1.

(16) Furthermore, in FIG. 1, a bracket 4 is shown, which is preferably disposed below the filter door 2 and which serves to support the open filter door 2.

(17) The filter door 2 is connected, in the present embodiment, to the housing of the industrial extraction system 1, not only via the locking means 3 but also via at least one additional filling element 7, which has a profiled recess 8. The recess 8 is provided such that it serves as a slotted guide for a pin 13.

(18) At the filter door 2 preferably two pins 13, not shown, are arranged, which are inserted into the recesses 8 of the guide elements 7, being guided by the recesses.

(19) FIG. 2 is a detailed view of the guide element 7 and of its profiled recess 8. Above the guide element 7, the locking element 3 is located, which is provided as a knurled screw. In the present embodiment, the filter door 2 is connected by a total of four locking elements 3 to the thread 18 of the industrial extraction system 1. Of course, less or more than four locking elements 3 are used for securing the filter door 2.

(20) FIG. 2 also shows an actuating means/element 5 comprising a push button 6. By the actuation of the push button 6, a pawl, not shown, is actuated, whereby the pin 13 is released and thus may slide along the recess 8 of the guide element 7. The pawl may be spring-loaded.

(21) The pawl engages in the locked state in a recess of the housing surface 14 and thus secures the filter door 2 against undesired slipping inside the recess 8 of the guide element 7.

(22) If the actuating means 5 is displaced towards the housing surface 14, the pawl opens briefly to then engage the recess of the housing surface 14. The push button 6 thus serves to release the actuating means 5.

(23) The innovation is not limited to the use of a push button and a pawl. It is of course also possible to freely arrange the pin 13 in a movable way within the recess 8 of the guide element 7.

(24) In FIG. 3, the industrial extraction system 1 is shown in a side view. The filter door 2 is closed with the locking means 3, wherein the guide element 7 is positioned at the bottom of the filter door 2, which allows a hinge-like folding of the filter door 2 with respect to industrial extraction system 1.

(25) Underneath the guide element 7, the support frame-like bracket 4 is further arranged, which provides a supporting function for the filter door 2 in the open state.

(26) FIG. 4 shows a side view of a detailed representation of the guide element 7. The actuating means 5 has a push button 6 for releasing the pin 13. By actuating the push button 6, a force is exerted on the locking pawl, whereby the pawl is swung out of the recess of the housing surface 14, and thus the pin is freely movable within the recess 8 of the guide element 7.

(27) FIG. 5 shows the industrial extraction system 1 with a partially opened filter door 2. In order to open the filter door 2, the locking means 3 must be released in a first step.

(28) Subsequently, the filter door 2 can now be pulled in the falling direction 15 from the housing surface 14 of the industrial extraction system 1. A guided drawing of the filter door 2 takes place, due to the pins 13, which extend into the profiled recess 8 of the guide element 7.

(29) The recesses 8 of the guide elements 7 are formed such that at first only a relatively straight or horizontal withdrawing of the filter door 2 is possible in the direction of arrow 15. This prevents jamming between the inside of the filter door 2 and the edge of the filter housing 11. In addition, the peripheral seals in the edge region 11 are not damaged.

(30) Particularly in industrial extraction systems 1 a peripheral edge 11 is provided in the area of the filter housing for the filter door 2. This allows the filter door 2 to be only applied on the housing surface 14 in a straight manner.

(31) After the filter door 2 has been removed in direction of the arrow 15 along the recess 8 of the guide element 7, a folding process in the direction of arrow 9 of the entire filter door 2 is possible. The recess 8 of the guide element 7 thus has a dual function. Firstly, a targeted extraction or removing of the filter door 2 is obtained from the edge of the filter housing 11 and on the other hand, the filter door can subsequently be folded.

(32) According to FIG. 5, the filter door 2 can be folded down until it rests on the bracket 4. In the open state, an opening of the filter door 2 with respect to the housing surface 14 at an angle of 90 degrees is thus possible.

(33) FIG. 6 shows a detailed view of the filter door 2 during a movement in the direction of arrow 15. Starting from a position 16 in which the filter door 2 is in its closed position, the actuating means 5 is now pulled in the direction of arrow 15 until a position 17 is reached. In the position 17, a sufficient distance between the filter door 2 and the housing surface 14 has now been reached, so that an unfolding in direction of the arrow 9 can take place.

(34) In FIGS. 7 and 8, a fully opened filter door 2 is shown. According to FIG. 7, the filter door 2 lies on the bracket 4, which holds the filter door at a 90-degree angle with respect to the housing surface 14.

(35) In FIG. 7, the edge 11 of the filter housing can also be seen, which is positioned at a distance 10 relative to the housing surface 14 of the industrial extraction system. The distance 10 substantially corresponds to the straight portion of the guide element 7. This is also illustrated by FIG. 8, which again shows the profile 12 of the pin 13 of the filter door 2 in the region of the guide element 7 or its recess 8.

(36) The pin 13 is in this case fixedly positioned on the filter door 2 and is guided inside the recess 8 of the guide element 7. Starting from position 16, in which the filter door is in its closed position, in case of an opening process of the filter door 2, the pin 13 is pulled away in the horizontal direction (arrow 15) at a distance 10 from the housing surface 14 of the industrial extraction system. The distance 10 thus corresponds to the depth of the rim of the filter housing 11.

(37) The straight portion of the recess 8 is followed by a 45 inclined portion, which guides the pin 13 relative to the horizontal obliquely in a downwards direction. Meanwhile or afterwards, the filter door 2 can be folded in the direction of arrow 9.

(38) The innovation is not limited to the arrangement of a bracket 4. On the contrary, other locking elements or cursors or the like can be used for fixing the door at a certain angle.

(39) FIGS. 9 and 10 show the industrial extraction system 1 with an open filter door 2. From FIG. 9, it can be seen that the filter door 2 has a certain internal depth, which approximately corresponds to the depth of the distance 10 of the rim of the filter housing 11.

(40) Furthermore, FIG. 9 shows that the housing surface 14 has a total of four threads 18 for the locking means 3.

(41) FIG. 10 once again shows the guide element 7 with the slot-like recess 8, wherein above guide element 7, thread 18 is shown for securing the filter door 2 to the locking element 3.

(42) FIGS. 11 and 12 show a further preferred embodiment of the filter door 2 for an industrial extraction system 1. In this case, the filter door 2 is preferably provided in the edge region with at least one hinge 20, with which an extension 19 in the form of a tablet can be unfolded. Due to the special design of the extension 19 as a tablet, it is now possible to use the filter door as a relatively large working table, which may be necessary in particular when a replacement of filter 21 is required.

(43) FIG. 12 further shows that the working area of the filter door 2 has been significantly enlarged by the extension 19.

(44) In the above embodiments the process of opening the filter door 2 is always addressed. Of course, the inventive embodiment may also be used during the closing process of the filter door 2.

(45) Due to the particularly profiled recess 8, it is possible to fold the filter door 2 on the edge of the filter housing 11 and thereafter, to just (against the direction of arrow 15) insert the filter door 2 on the rim 11 so that the filter door 2 can be attached with the locking means 3 to the industrial extraction system 1.
