Abstract
A carriage arrangement has a driving bar arrangement and a carriage. The carriage has a roller part with a plurality of running rollers. The roller part is displaceable transversely to the longitudinal extent of the carriage with respect to a wing part which can be mounted immovably on a wing. A driving bar of the driving bar arrangement has a control projection which engages in a control slot which is formed obliquely to the longitudinal extent of the carriage. To guide the roller part on the wing part is provided a first roller bearing guide which extends transversely to the longitudinal extent of the carriage. The first roller bearing guide has rolling bodies which are supported both on the wing and roller part so forces acting in the direction of the longitudinal extent of the carriage are channelled away from the wing part into the roller part with low friction.
Description
FIELD OF THE INVENTION

The invention relates to a carriage arrangement according to the preamble of claim 1. The invention further relates to a window or a door with such a carriage arrangement.


BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

It is known to provide a carriage arrangement in order to be able to move a sash of a window or of a door not only in its displacement direction but also transversely thereto. The transverse movement here serves to move the sash out of its sealing abutment or into its sealing abutment on the fixed frame.


EP 3 187 678 A1 discloses the displacement of door sashes transversely to the main plane of a fixed frame of a door, i.e., perpendicularly to the door plane. Rollers or ball rollers are used to displace the door sashes.


From EP 3 327 233 A1 and JP 2003 184 410 A the use of fittings with a ball raceway has become known.


EP 3 321 459 A1 discloses a rocker having rollers that is to be mounted with a roller bearing in order to achieve an oscillating mounting of rollers on a carriage, said mounting being smooth-running and high load dissipating.


It has become known from DE 11 2011 103 609 T5 to provide two guides on a carriage that are spaced apart in the running direction. The guides have cylindrical bolts which are completely enclosed in each case by a hole in the roller part, there being no use of roller bearings.


WO 2017/206273 A1 discloses a generic carriage with two roller bearings spaced apart in the running direction for offloading the weight of the sash. Forces in the longitudinal direction of the carriage are dissipated by a tongue-and-groove guide with sliding friction.


Since sashes are constantly getting bigger and better insulated, the weight of the sashes is also increasing. There is therefore a need to provide a carriage arrangement that is both sturdy enough to offload the weight of a heavy sash and is smooth-running enough to allow a user to move the heavy sash easily.


SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION

It is therefore the object of the invention to provide a load-bearing carriage arrangement which permits smooth-running movement of the sash by a user. It is a further object of the invention to provide a window or door with such a carriage arrangement.


This object is achieved according to the invention by a carriage arrangement having the characterizing features of claim 1 or by a window or a door according to claim 15. The dependent claims reflect preferred developments.


The object according to the invention is thus achieved by a carriage arrangement with a driving bar arrangement and a carriage. The driving bar arrangement has a driving bar. The carriage has a sash part that can be immovably mounted on the sash and a roller part with a plurality of rollers for moving the roller part in the main plane of a fixed frame, wherein the roller part is movable transversely to the main plane relative to the sash part. The main plane of the fixed frame is a vertical plane that intersects a running rail of the fixed frame. To produce this transverse movement, a control projection is arranged or formed on the driving bar and engages in an at least partially oblique control slot in the roller part. An oblique design of the control slot is here understood to mean a design of the control slot having an angle of more than 0° and less than 90° to the main plane. The carriage furthermore has a first roller bearing guide for guiding this transverse movement. The first roller bearing guide is designed to offload onto the roller part forces acting in the main plane. The first roller bearing guide enables the user to operate the sash significantly more comfortably, while at the same time preventing the roller part from jamming on the sash part during the transverse movement.


The first roller bearing guide preferably extends perpendicularly to the main plane. The first roller bearing guide can have a roller bearing bed on the sash part and a roller bearing bed on the roller part. The roller bearing beds are preferably fixed immovably to the sash part or roller part. Rolling bodies of the first roller bearing guide are preferably supported in the direction of the longitudinal axis of the roller part on both roller bearing beds in order to offload forces in the direction of the longitudinal axis from the sash part onto the roller part or vice versa.


In addition to the movement of the roller part in the transverse direction, an actuation of the driving bar and thus a displacement of the control projection in the control slot also causes a force on the roller part in the longitudinal direction. This force in the longitudinal direction can be dissipated with low friction by the first roller bearing guide.


As mentioned above, the running rail runs in the main plane of the fixed frame. The rollers of the roller part are designed to run on the running rail and intersect the main plane. The longitudinal axis of the roller part also runs in the main plane. The displacement direction of the sash checked by the fixed frame extends in particular parallel to the main plane. The transverse movement for the fixed frame checking the sash or for pressing the sash against the fixed frame preferably runs perpendicularly to the main plane.


The first roller bearing guide can have a bearing part and a support rail. The support rail can abut a convexly curved surface of a concavely curved support surface of the bearing part with rolling bodies arranged thereon. As a result, forces in the main plane can be transferred from the sash part to the roller part in a structurally particularly simple manner.


The bearing part can be designed with a ball raceway with balls guided therein as rolling bodies.


Alternatively, the bearing part can be designed as a linear ball bearing, where the rolling bodies are held in a rolling body cage.


The bearing part is structurally further simplified when the support surface in cross-section, i.e., in the main plane, is in the form of a circular arc, in particular a semicircle.


In order to avoid a pivoting of the bearing part about its longitudinal axis, the bearing part can be held by a form fit on the roller part or sash part.


Further preferably, the support rail has non-fixed free ends when viewed in its longitudinal direction. The support rail can then be fastened by a single central fastening means, for example a screw.


Furthermore, the support rail can also be inserted completely unfastened into a recess in the carriage.


Alternatively or in addition to the bearing part described, the first roller bearing guide can have a ball bearing extending in the longitudinal direction of the first roller bearing guide. The rolling bodies in the form of balls of the ball bearing can here be guided in roller bearing beds in the form of ball bearing beds. The ball bearing beds can in each case have a groove in which the balls are guided.


In a further preferred embodiment of the invention, the first roller bearing guide has a needle bearing, so that the high weight forces can be offloaded particularly reliably.


In a particularly preferred embodiment of the invention, the first roller bearing guide has a roller bearing bed, in particular in the form of a needle bearing bed, the surface of which is oriented at an angle between 0° and 180, in particular at an angle between 10° and 100°, in relation to the direction of the longitudinal axis of the roller part. As a result, the forces occurring in the displacement direction can be offloaded particularly reliably onto the roller part.


Further preferably, the carriage has a second roller bearing guide spaced apart from the first roller bearing guide in the direction of the longitudinal axis of the roller part in order to offload forces in a displacement direction particularly reliably from the sash part onto the roller part. In particular, the second roller bearing guide particularly reliably prevents jamming of the roller part on the sash part.


The first roller bearing guide can be designed as a fixed bearing and the second roller bearing guide as a floating bearing. Alternatively, the first roller bearing guide can be designed as a floating bearing and the second roller bearing guide as a fixed bearing. As a result, tolerances in the manufacture of the carriage can be compensated.


The first roller bearing guide and/or the second roller bearing guide can be designed in the form of a linear ball bearing. Alternatively or additionally, the first roller bearing guide and/or the second roller bearing guide can be designed in a C-shape.


Preferably, the control projection is arranged between the first and second roller bearing guide.


The second roller bearing guide can be designed identical to the first roller bearing guide in order to further simplify the design of the carriage.


The second roller bearing guide preferably extends perpendicularly to the main plane. The second roller bearing guide can have a roller bearing bed on the sash part and a roller bearing bed on the roller part. The roller bearing beds are preferably fixed immovably to the sash part or roller part. Rolling bodies of the second roller bearing guide are preferably supported in the direction of the longitudinal axis of the roller part on both roller bearing beds in order to offload forces in the direction of the longitudinal axis from the sash part into the roller part.


The roller part can be inserted at least partially into the sash part by means of a dovetail-shaped form-fit 43. In this case, the roller part can be inserted into the sash part transversely, in particular perpendicularly, to the main plane in order to mount the roller part on the sash part.


In a further preferred embodiment of the invention, the sash part is integrally formed. The sash part can have a straight guide slot through which the control projection is guided.


The control projection can have a plain bearing for the oblique guide slot in the roller part. Alternatively, the control projection can have a roller-bearing-guided roller for guiding the control projection in the oblique guide slot.


The control projection can have a plain bearing for the straight guide slot in the sash part. Alternatively, the control projection can have a roller-bearing-guided roller for guiding the control projection in the straight guide slot.


The driving bar arrangement can be fastened to the carriage. This considerably simplifies the installation of the carriage arrangement on the sash for the window fitter. Furthermore, this prevents dirt from getting into the carriage arrangement during the installation of the carriage arrangement on the sash.


A holding means can be provided for fastening the driving bar arrangement to the carriage. In particular, a clip, a rivet, a screw and/or a metal plate provided with a hook can be provided as holding means. For fastening the driving bar arrangement to the carriage, the carriage arrangement preferably has two holding means, in particular two clips, two rivets, two screws and/or two metal plates in each case provided with a hook.


The object according to the invention is further achieved by a window or a door with a carriage arrangement described here.


Further advantages of the invention can be found in the description and the drawings. Likewise, according to the invention, the aforementioned features and those which are to be explained below can each be used individually or together in any desired combinations. The embodiments shown and described are not to be understood as an exhaustive list, but, rather, have an exemplary character for the description of the invention.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS


FIG. 1a shows a door 10 with a schematically partially indicated fixed frame 12 and at least one sash 14. The sash 14 is indicated in FIG. 1a by fittings. The sash 14 can be moved in a transverse direction 16 from the main plane 18 of the fixed frame 12 and parallel to the main plane 18 in the displacement direction 20.


The movement of the sash 14 in the displacement direction 20 is not positively controlled, but a user can move the sash 14 in the parked state by directly displacing the sash 14. In contrast, sash movement in the transverse direction 16 is positively controlled. For this purpose, the user can operate a handle 22 whose pivoting is translated by a mechanism 24 into a linear movement of a driving bar arrangement 26. The driving bar arrangement operates a plurality of carriages 28, 30, which are arranged at the bottom of the sash 14, in order to transfer the weight of the sash 14 onto a running rail 32. The running rail 32 is part of the fixed frame 12. The carriages 28, 30 are preferably of identical design.



FIG. 1b shows an exemplary embodiment of a carriage arrangement 34. The carriage arrangement 34 comprises the driving bar arrangement 26 and the carriage 28. The driving bar arrangement 26 has a lipped rail 36 that is fixedly mountable on the sash 14 (see FIG. 1a) and a driving bar 38 movable relative to the lipped rail. The carriage 28 has a sash part 40 that is fixedly mountable on the sash 14 (see FIG. 1a) and a roller part 42 with multiple rollers 44a, 44b. The roller part 42 is movable relative to the sash part 40 in the transverse direction 16 (see FIG. 1a). This movement is mediated by the driving bar 38 via a control projection 46. The control projection 46 can here project through a slot 47 in the lipped rail 36. The control projection 46 engages in a control slot 48. The control slot 48 is at least sectionally oblique to the longitudinal axis 49 of the roller part 42 or oblique to the main plane 18 (see FIG. 1a).


For guiding the roller part 42 in the transverse direction 16 (see FIG. 1a), i.e., transversely, in particular perpendicularly, to the longitudinal axis 49, the sash part 40 is supported on the roller part 42 by a first roller bearing guide 50a and a second roller bearing guide 50b. The roller bearing guides each comprise a bearing part 52a, 52b, in each of which a support rail 54a, 54b is guided.


When generating the force for the transverse displacement of the roller part, the control projection 46 is preferably supported in a straight guide slot 55 in the sash part 40. The guide slot 55 extends in the direction of the main plane 18 (see FIG. 1a) or, depending on the parked position of the sash 14 (see FIG. 1a) from the fixed frame 12 (see FIG. 1a), parallel to the main plane 18 (see FIG. 1a).



FIG. 1c shows the carriage arrangement 34 in the mounted state.



FIG. 1d shows a longitudinal section through the carriage arrangement 34. It can be seen from FIG. 1d that the support rails 54a, b each have a convexly curved surface 56a, 56b with which they abut the arcuate concave support surfaces 58a, 58b of the bearing parts 52a, b. The roller bearing guides 50a, b are thereby able in a roller-bearing-guided manner to offload onto the roller part 42 forces on the sash part 40 that occur in the displacement direction 20, or vice versa.


An actuation of the handle 22 (see FIG. 1a) and thus a displacement of the control projection 46 (see FIG. 1b) in the control slot 48 (see FIG. 1b) also causes a force on the roller part 42 in the longitudinal direction in addition to the movement of the roller part 42 in the transverse direction 16 (see FIG. 1a). This force in the longitudinal direction can be offloaded with low friction by the roller bearing guide(s) 50a, b.



FIG. 1e shows the carriage arrangement 34 in cross-section. It can be seen from FIG. 1e that the support rail 54a is designed longer in its longitudinal extension than the bearing part 52a, so that the bearing part 52a moves along the support rail 54a for the movement of the carriage arrangement 34 in the transverse direction 16 (see FIG. 1a).



FIGS. 1f, 1g, 1h and 1i show the bearing part 52a. It can be seen from the figures that the bearing part 52a comprises at least one, preferably a plurality of, ball raceways 60a, 60b in a bearing part body 61. The ball raceways 60a, b each comprise at least one groove 62a, 62b in which multiple balls 64a, 64b are guided. The grooves 62a, 62b are designed such that the balls 64a, 64b protrude from the support surface 58a and are guided back inside the bearing part 52a.


The bearing part body 61 of the bearing parts 52a, b (see FIG. 1b), in particular the covers of the bearing part bodies 61 (see FIG. 1h), and the support rails 54a, b (see FIG. 1b) represent roller bearing beds. The rolling bodies in the form of the balls 64a, b are supported transversely to the extension of the bearing parts 52a, b (see FIG. 1b) or the support rails 54a, b (see FIG. 1b) on the roller bearing beds in order to transmit forces in the direction of the longitudinal extension of the carriage arrangement 34 (see FIG. 1b).



FIG. 2a shows a carriage arrangement 34 in which support rails 54a, b are formed shorter in their longitudinal extension than bearing parts 52a, b. The bearing parts 52a, b are therefore designed so as to be so short that in side view they are covered by side walls 66a, 66b of the carriage 28, in particular of the roller part 42. As a result, the penetration of dirt into the bearing parts 52a, b can be better prevented.



FIG. 3a shows a carriage arrangement 34 corresponding to the carriage arrangement in FIG. 1b. However, roller bearing guides 50a, 50b are mounted such that the concave support surfaces 58a, b of the bearing parts 52a, b are open downwards. The bearing parts 52a, 52b are mounted so as to be non-pivotable about their longitudinal axis in at least one direction of rotation on the carriage 28, here on the sash part 40. For rotationally fixed mounting, cut-outs 68a, 68b that form-fit the bearing parts 52a, b, are provided on the component (sash part 40 or roller part 42) of the carriage 28, on which the bearing part 52a, b is mounted.


The carriage 28 further comprises in each case a recess 70a, 70b in which the support rails 54a, b are inserted in order to prevent a displacement of the support rails 54a, b in the direction of the longitudinal axis 49. The support rails 54a, b can be loosely inserted into the recesses 70a, b.



FIG. 4a shows a carriage arrangement 34 in which support rails 54a, b are fixed centrally on the carriage 28, here on the sash part 40. The fixing can, for example, be effected by screws 72a, b.



FIG. 5a shows a carriage arrangement 34 in which roller bearing guides 50a, b with ball bearings 74a, 74b are provided. The ball bearings 74a, b have balls 76a, 76b which are guided in ball bearing beds 78a, 78b, 78c, 78d. The ball bearing beds 78a-d have grooves 80a, 80b, 80c, 80d for guiding the balls 76a, b. The balls 76a, b thus represent rolling bodies which are guided in roller bearing beds in the form of the ball bearing beds 78a-d. The roller bearing guides 50a, b further preferably each have a frame 82a, 82b to prevent dirt from penetrating.



FIG. 5b shows the carriage 28 according to FIG. 5a in a partially sectioned side view. It can be seen from FIG. 5b that the ball bearings 74a, 74b enable a very low-friction guidance of the sash part 40 on the roller part 42.



FIG. 6a shows a carriage 28 in which roller bearing guides 50a, b each have at least one needle bearing 84a, 84b, 84c, 84d. The needle bearings 84a-d have needles, of which for reasons of clarity only one needle 85 is provided with a reference sign in FIG. 6a. The needles 85 represent rolling bodies. The needles 85 are arranged between needle bearing beds, of which for reasons of clarity only two needle bearing beds 86a, 86b are provided with a reference sign in FIG. 6a. The needle bearing beds 86a, b represent roller bearing beds. At least one needle bearing 84a-d, in particular a plurality of needle bearings 84a-d, is/are at an angle w of more than 0° and less than 180º, preferably of more than 10° and less than 170°, in relation to the longitudinal axis 49 of the roller part 42. Particularly preferably, at least one roller bearing guide 50a, b, in particular two roller bearing guides 50a, b have needle bearings 84a-d arranged in a V configuration (as shown in FIG. 6a).



FIG. 7a shows a carriage 28 with non-alike roller bearing guides 50a, b. A ball bearing 74a is here provided for the first roller bearing guide 50a and a needle bearing 84a for the second roller bearing guide.



FIG. 8a shows a carriage 28 with a plurality of needle bearings 84a-d. The needle bearings 84a, b form the first roller bearing guide 50a and the needle bearings 84c, d form the second roller bearing guide 50b. Here, the needle bearings 84b, 84c are provided for the offloading of the vertical forces and the needle bearings 84a, 84d for the transmission of the horizontal forces in the displacement direction 20 (see FIG. 1a).



FIG. 9a shows a carriage 28 with a first roller bearing guide 50a, which has needle bearings 84a, b and a second roller bearing guide 50b, which likewise has a needle bearing 84c, but which is only designed for transmitting vertical forces.



FIG. 10a shows a carriage 28, wherein the carriage 28 has a first roller bearing guide 50a with a combination of a horizontally aligned needle bearing 84a and a ball bearing 74a. The first roller bearing guide 50a is thereby capable of offloading not only vertical forces but also horizontal forces from the sash part 40 onto the roller part 42. A second roller bearing guide 50b has a needle bearing 84b for transmitting vertical forces.


It is common to all exemplary embodiments of the carriages 28, 30 that at least one first roller bearing guide 50a provides a roller-bearing-guided support of the sash part 40 on the roller part 42 during the movement of the roller part 42 in the transverse direction 16 (see FIG. 1a), that is to say transversely, preferably perpendicularly, to the longitudinal axis 49 of the roller part 42. In this case, the roller-bearing-guided support absorbs not only weight forces but also forces in the longitudinal direction of the roller part 42.



FIGS. 11a-16c show different embodiments of the control projection 46:



FIGS. 11a, 11b and 11c show a control projection 46, which has two roller-bearing-guided rollers 87a, 87b. The roller 87a is here provided for guiding in the at least sectionally oblique control slot 48 (see FIG. 1b), and the roller 87b is provided for guiding in the straight guide slot 55 (see FIG. 1b).



FIGS. 12a, 12b and 12c show a control projection 46 which has an immovable roller 87a for guiding in the at least sectionally oblique control slot 48 (see FIG. 1b) and a roller-bearing-guided roller 87b for guiding in the straight control slot 55 (see FIG. 1b).



FIGS. 13a, 13b and 13c show a control projection 46 which has an immovable roller 87a for guiding in the at least sectionally oblique control slot 48 (see FIG. 1b) and a plain-bearing-guided roller 87b for guiding in the straight control slot 55 (see FIG. 1b).



FIGS. 14a, 14b and 14c show a control projection 46, which has a sleeve 88. The sleeve 88 is plain-bearing-guided. It has a roll-shaped section 90a for guiding the sleeve 88 in the at least sectionally oblique control slot 48 (see FIG. 1b). The sleeve 88 further comprises a roller-shaped section 90b which prevents contact of the control projection 46 with the straight control slot 55 (see FIG. 1b).
