[0027] In this context it should be noted that it may be either right or left door leaf 1, adjacent at least one of its edges in the closed position on the frame 3, as well as the door leaf 1, the so-called swinging, which may be open to both sides of the wall 2 and which with the opening and closing mechanism and itself returns to the closed position, although in this conclusion may temporarily, even repeatedly with decreasing amplitude, accelerate the other side wall of the 2.

[0028] Object of the invention, thus enabling opening of the door 1 away from each other and in particular toward and subsequent automatic closure, without the need to touch anything on the door by hand, is solved in that the door leaf 1 is additionally provided with an opening and closing mechanism I, preferably in the lower part of the door leaf 1, which can be activated using the control mechanism, II and connecting member 23, for example by depressing the foot, so that the door leaf 1 before passing person opens and subsequently closes automatically. It is obvious that the opening and closing mechanism and will be held mainly on the side of the door leaf 1, where the door wing 1 opens toward passing a person who would otherwise have had to pull the door leaf 1 to each hand. On the opposite side of the door leaf 1, to which this opens up the passing person, such a control mechanism II necessarily need not be, because the browsing person in this direction could push the door leaf 1 foot, calf, shoulder, elbow, knee, orthopedic aids, etc. For uniformity actuated from both sides of the door leaf 1, it is appropriate that the control element A 28 and actuating element B 29 actuating mechanism for optimalization II arranged on both sides of the door leaf 1, as shown in FIG. 2.

[0029] The described embodiment of the control system of the door can be designed so that the opening and closing mechanism and the pneumatic-hydraulic, pneumatic, hydraulic energy accumulation.

[0030] For several reasons, it may be a perspective purely mechanical structure of the control system of the door, which will be the opening member 14 and closing member 17 is formed of a spring and as a whole be provided as the energy accumulator or energy for opening and closing the door leaf the 1.

[0031] Opening closing mechanism and, according to FIG. 3a consists of the rotation member 5, Which is illustrated in FIG. 3d, made preferably as a rotating section, which is again in the manner of the energy accumulator or energy, when activating control mechanism II with actuating forces 39 about himself contemporary biases member 14 opening and closing member 17see FIG. 4a. Opening 14 is shown in FIG. 3b, fastened one end using a clamp member 15 of the opening 14 to make the rotating member 5, the other end by an abutment shoulder 16 leaning against the doorframe 3 or directly on the wall of the second closing member 17 is fixed to one end through bracket 18 closing member 17 by making the rotating member 5, the other end by an abutment shoulder 19 the closure member 17 leaning on the handle 11, Which connects the upper hinge 10 and the lower hinge 12, by this on the door leaf 1. Closing member 17 is mounted with a bias for keeping the door leaf 1 in the closed state. Turning the rotary member 5, FIG. 4a will accumulate energy in the opening member 14, in this case twisting of the opening spring is simultaneously accumulates energy in the closing member 17, in this case twisting of the closing spring. After rotating the rotary member 5 does not. The strength of the opening member 14 against the force of the closure member 17. For so can be realized, FIG. 4c, the latch 7, mounted on a pivot point 8, located in the activated state by means of springs 9 of the latch 7, which is in detail shown in FIG. 4d, during rotation of the rotary element 5 captures the yoke 22, Which is secured to the bracket 11 of the lower hinge 10 and the upper hinge 12 and thus on the door leaf 1, FIG. 4a. Tim that each end of the closure member 17 connected to the door leaf 1 When do instant release latches 7, is a function of the closure member 17 is blocked. Opening member 14 acting via a pivotal member 5 carrying a latch 7 to the follower 22 mounted on the bracket 11 of the lower hinge 10a of the upper hinge 12, thus on the door leaf 1, which starts to open, FIG. 4c. Since it must also ensure the mechanical termination of the opening member 14 when fully or almost complete opening of the door 1 that the closing member 17. Could door swing shut again 1, latch 7 rests on its second 6, FIG. 5c. The door leaf 1 together with carrier 22 leaves the inertia of the point of contact with the latch 7, and she was leaning against the stop bolt 7 6 mounted on the cover 20, which is fastened with fixing the cover 21 to the frame 3 or walls 2 returns do disengaged positions. At the door leaf 1 starts to operate unlocked locking member 17 and the doors begin to close automatically. When that yoke 22 mine latch 7 is in disengaged position, FIG. 5c.

Furthermore, the possibility exists that the person passing the door leaf 1 before disengaging the latch 7 withhold, for example feet again. This will ensure that the carrier 22 of the door leaf 1 will not leave inertial force point of contact with the pawl 7, and it thus remains in the activated position, FIG. 5b. The door leaf 1, will then remain in the open position until the operator is, moderate pressure, again such as feet, to door 1, in the direction of its opening, deactivates the latch 7, and thus will cause the closing member 17th same effect can be achieved possibly and moving the door in the closing direction when, after release of the door leaf 1, this will begin to open again and thus inertia to release the latch 7 of the standard method described in the preceding paragraph.
Control mechanism II mechanical embodiment may be arranged on one side of the door leaf 1, while on the opposite side of the door leaf 1 may be on the same axis arranged next tread shoulder 34, FIG. 2 without any additional device so that the opening and closing mechanism I and the whole door wing 1 can be controlled in the same way on both sides. The opening and closing mechanism and is always mounted on the hinge side 4 of the door leaf 1, FIG. 1.

[0032] Unactivated conditionFIGS. 1, 2, 3a, 3b, 3c, 3d, 6a, 7a, 7b FIGS. 2 and 6a show the actuating mechanism II, which has a tread shoulder 34, to which an actuating force 39 that pivots about pivot point 30 and is positioned on both sides of the first door wing Pedal arm 34 is connected at its other end with the connecting member 23, guided via a pulley C 32 rotating on a pin 33. a control 28 and control B 29 if it is mounted, are in disengaged, the upper, position and rotatable member 5, whose detail is shown in FIG. 3d is in the positionsee FIG. 3a.

Opening member 14 exerts no force. The closing member 17 develops only the preload force to the door leaf 1 kept closed.

[0033] Opening member 14 exerts no force. The closing member 17 develops only the preload force to the door leaf 1 kept closed. The latch 7 is in the inactive position, FIG. 3c, as it rests on the stop 6 on the housing 20, attached attachment cover 21 to the frame 3 and the wall 2, due to bias the closure member 17 which overcomes the force of spring 9 latches the seventh opening member 14 does not develop no power or force the biased because its action is blocked by both ends of the frame 3 counteracts or wall 2.

[0034] The schematic arrangement is shown in FIG. 7a, which illustrates the operation when opening and closing mechanism and is activated by movement of the rotary member 5 against the direction of opening the first door wing a schematic arrangement in FIG. 7b illustrates the operation when opening and closing mechanism and activates the movement of the rotary member 5 in the same direction as the opening of the door leaf 1.

[0035] FIG. 6a shows the control mechanism II in the unactivated state. The connecting member 23, which is guided over a pulley 32 C, rotating on a pin 33 is anchored to the sliding mount 27 of the connecting member 23. The sliding mounting 27 of the connecting member 23 moves along a variable arm 36, depending on the angle of rotation, thereby continuously changing gear which is in the unactivated state is minimal. Pedal arm 34 is mounted on a pivot pin 35 and abutment surface 37 rests on pivot bearing 31st This arrangement prevents possible injury a person is found on the side opposite the operator is that tilting occurs tread shoulders 34.

Activated State, Door OpeningFIGS. 4a, 4b, 4c, 4d, 6b

[0036] Control A 28 and the control B 29 if it is mounted, they are activated, ie lower, position, FIG. 6b and the rotary member 5 is rotated by 90 DEG, FIG. 4a.

[0037] Opening member 14 by rotating the rotary member 5 via a twist grip 15 of the opening member 14 and a second end leaning against the abutment arm 16 of opening member 14 of frame 3 and the wall 2 develops full power. The closing member 17 also develops full strength, twisting over the handle 18 of the closure member 17 and by lowering the second end of the supporting leg 19 of the closing member 17 of the door leaf 1, FIG. 4b, but its action is blocked because the both ends counteracts the door leaf 1, FIG. 4c. FIG. 4c is also illustrated attachment 26 of the connecting member 23 to the rotary member 5.

[0038] The latch 7 is in the activated position, because he does not rely on the stop 6 and the spring 9 the latch 7 keeps it in the activated state, FIG. 4d. When the motion of the rotary member 5 carrying the pawl 7 for the carrier 22 mounted on the bracket 11 of the lower hinge 10 and the upper hinge 12, the door leaf 1 skips the latch 7 for the carrier 22 and are retained on it, FIG. 4c. Once the person opening the door leaf 1 releases control and control 28 or B 29 and withdraws from the door leaf 1, door leaf 1 begins the opening action of the member 14 open.

[0039] FIG. 6b was treading on rotation of the pivot bearing 31 of the tread shoulders 34 about pivot point 30, thereby sliding mount 27 of the connecting member 23 reaches the second extreme position where the transfer is maximal.

Door Open, Door ClosingFIGS. 5a, 5b, 5c, 5d, 6b

[0040] Control A 28 and the control B 29 if it is mounted, are in the activated position, FIG. 5a, FIG. 6b and the rotary member 5 is close to the basic position and deactivating sunsets 7, FIG. 5b. Opening the 14 member develops only residual strength. The closing member 17 develops full power, but its action is blocked because both ends counteracts door leaf 1.

[0041] If the door leaf 1 is stopped immediately before the starting position of the rotary member 5, and thereby, the effect of inertia of the door leaf 1 is eliminated, for example by holding legs, the door stays open because of the opening member 14 no longer has sufficient strength to deactivate the latch 7 of the leaning against a stop 6 located on the housing 20 and thus on the frame 3 and the wall 2.

[0042] If no stop of the door leaf 1, causing the inertia force of the door leaf 1 together with the carrier 22 leaves the place of contact with the pawl 7, that rests with its other end by a stop 6 located on the housing 20 and thus on the frame 3 and the wall 2 Which deactivates the latch 7 and the rotary member 5, FIG. 5c. This rotary member 5 reaches the initial position.

[0043] Opening member 14 exerts no force or strength of the bias, because of its action is blocked by both ends of the frame 3 counteracts or wall 2. The closing member 17 develops the full strength of its action is unblocked in that the end of the latch 7 is based a sixth stop support arm 19 of the closing member 17 acts against the door leaf 1 and the handle 18 of closure member 17, acts on the rotary member 5, and hence to and through the stopper 6 located on the cover 20 to the frame 3 and the wall 2, FIG. 5d.

[0044] Deactivating the latch 7 is allowed to the door leaf 1 by treatment effect of the closure member 17 has returned to the closed position.

[0045] This solution has a number of technical and economic benefits, including the possibility of installation on an existing door leaf 1 and the fact that it is not fundamentally affected the function and operation of the door leaf 1 in the event that mounted the opening and closing mechanism I is not used, it works unactivated closing and opening 1 only mechanism as a closer.

INDUSTRIAL APPLICABILITY

[0046] The present invention is applicable in all fields where it is necessary to open and close the door in such a way, without touching them human hand because of hygienic reasons, or even in cases where the opening of the hand is difficult, for example if the person opening the door full hand. The usable function is also where it is possible to stop the door in the open position for the passage for example of hospital carriage, for automatic closing of just a light pulse in the direction of opening or closing. Or in other areas where the possibility advantageously use the automatic forward and the return function.
