Abstract
A door system has at least one door leaf and a displacement system for the door leaf. The door leaf is connected to an organ that is moveable between two suspension points, wherein the first suspension point is situated at a greater distance from the plane of the entrance opening than the second suspension point. A track system is provided, for moving the door leaf in two phases, wherein the track system in the first phase rotationally moves a side of the door leaf outward, and in the second phase determines a displacement of the door leaf by a displacement of the organ from the first suspension point in the direction of the second suspension point.

Door system comprising:
- at least one door leaf for closing off an entrance opening, wherein the entrance opening is at least defined by a first doorpost and a second doorpost, wherein the door leaf has a first side and a second side, wherein in a situation where the entrance opening is closed off, the door leaf is located between the first and second doorposts, the first side of the door leaf is situated near the first doorpost and the second side of the door leaf is situated near the second doorpost;
- a displacement system coupled to the door leaf and supported relative to the first and second doorposts for moving the door leaf between a first position closing off the entrance opening and a second position providing access to the entrance opening, characterized in that:
- the displacement system comprises a suspension rod having two suspension points on the suspension rod, wherein the door leaf is connected to an organ supporting the door leaf on the suspension rod, the organ being movable between the two suspension points, wherein a first of the suspension points is situated at a greater distance from a plane passing through the first and the second doorposts than a second of the suspension points, the door leaf being supported by the organ at a set non-parallel angle of the door leaf relative to the suspension rod such that the angle of the door leaf relative to the suspension rod does not change during translation of the organ and door leaf along the suspension rod;
- a fixed rotation axis of the suspension rod is provided which is situated at a distance from the second side and at or adjacent the first suspension point, the fixed rotation axis being stationary relative to the first doorpost and the second doorpost, the door leaf, the movable organ and the second suspension point being rotatable around said fixed rotation axis;
- and
- the displacement system comprises a track system so as to be able to move the door leaf from the first position to the second position in two phases, wherein the track system as a consequence of a translation of the movable organ from the first position to the second position, in the first phase determines a rotation of the door leaf around the rotation axis for making the second side of the door leaf move away from the plane to beyond the second doorpost, and the track system in the second phase determines a rotation of the door leaf around the rotation axis in the opposite direction of the first phase by a displacement of the organ from the first suspension point in the direction of the second suspension point.
Door system comprising:
- at least one door leaf for closing off an entrance opening, wherein the entrance opening is at least defined by a first doorpost and a second doorpost, wherein the door leaf has a first side and a second side, wherein in a situation where the entrance opening is closed off, the door leaf is located between the first and second doorposts, the first side of the door leaf is situated near the first doorpost and the second side of the door leaf is situated near the second doorpost;
- a displacement system coupled to the door leaf and supported relative to the first and second doorposts for moving the door leaf between a first position closing off the entrance opening and a second position providing access to the entrance opening, characterized in that:
- the displacement system comprises a suspension rod having two suspension points on the suspension rod, wherein the door leaf is connected to an organ supporting the door leaf on the suspension rod, the organ being movable between the two suspension points, wherein a first of the suspension points is situated at a greater distance from a plane passing through the first and the second doorposts than a second of the suspension points, the door leaf being supported by the organ at a set non-parallel angle of the door leaf relative to the suspension rod such that the angle of the door leaf relative to the suspension rod does not chane durin translation of t he organ and door leaf along the suspension rod;
- a rotation axis of the suspension rod is provided which is situated at a distance from the second side, the rotation axis being stationary relative to the first doorpost and the second doorpost, the door leaf being rotatable around said rotation axis;
- and
- the displacement system comprises a track system so as to be able to move the door leaf from the first position to the second position in two phases, wherein the track system as a consequence of a translation of the movable organ from the first position to the second position, in the first phase determines a rotation of the door leaf around the rotation axis for making the second side of the door leaf move away from the plane to beyond the second doorpost, and the track system in the second phase determines a rotation of the door leaf around the rotation axis in the opposite direction of the first phase by a displacement of the organ from the first suspension point in the direction of the second suspension point;
- and
- the displacement system comprises a linear actuator extending from a first position to a second position, wherein the linear actuator comprises a movable actuator part and the movable actuator part is connected to the movable organ in such a way that the movable organ can be carried along by movement of the movable actuator part, the linear actuator being movable in its axial direction such that operating the linear actuator results in a displacement of the actuator in the opposite direction of the displacement of the movable actuator part, a first end of the linear actuator being movably connected to an end of a first arm of a first V-shaped lever which is movable around a first lever rotation axis situated outside the longitudinal axis of the linear actuator, such that a longitudinal displacement of the linear actuator results in a rotation of the first V-shaped lever around the first lever rotation axis, wherein an end of a second arm of the first V-shaped lever is connected to a first end of a pull-push rod, an opposing second end of the pull-push rod being connected to an end of a first arm of a second V-shaped lever, wherein the second V-shaped lever is movable around a second lever rotation axis, wherein an end of a second arm of the second V-shaped lever is co-operatively connected to the track system at the door leaf, and wherein the first lever rotation axis is located between the first and second arms of the first V-shaped lever, and wherein the second lever rotation axis is located between the first and second arms of the second V-shaped lever.
A door system comprising:
- an entrance opening defined by a first doorpost and a second doorpost;
- a suspension rod supported relative to the entrance opening between a first suspension point on the suspension rod and a second suspension point on the suspension rod, with the first suspension point being situated at a greater distance from a plane passing through the first and the second doorposts than the second suspension point, the suspension rod having a fixed rotation axis at or adjacent the first suspension point with the second suspension point being movable relative to the fixed rotation axis, the fixed rotation axis being stationary relative to the first doorpost and the second doorpost;
