Abstract
A door assembly for a vehicle with two door leaves is stated. In each case the door leaves can be opened in such a manner that the maximum angle of opening between them can be limited. After a door leaf has been opened, the door leaves can thus only be pivoted together so that opening the first door leaf results in closing the second door leaf. As a result of this, access to a space in a vehicle may be controlled.
Claims20
A door assembly for granting access to a space of a means of transport, comprising:
- a first door leaf;
- a second door leaf;
- and
- a limitation device limiting a maximum angle of opening between the first door leaf and the second door leaf, irrespective of an angle of the second door leaf relative to a door frame,
- wherein an angle of opening between the first door leaf and the second door leaf is adjustable, the first door leaf and the second door leaf are pivotally held relative to each other,
- wherein in a closed state of the door assembly, the first door leaf can be opened by moving the first door leaf in a first direction while the second door leaf remains in a closed state,
- wherein the first door leaf and the second door leaf can be jointly pivoted in a second direction opposite to the first direction until the first door leaf closes the door assembly,
- wherein the second door leaf can be moved in the first direction to close the door assembly,
- wherein, in the closed state of the door assembly, the second door leaf can be moved in the second direction while the first door leaf remains in the closed state,
- wherein the first door leaf and the second door leaf can be jointly pivoted in the first direction so that the second door leaf closes the door assembly, and
- wherein the first door leaf can be moved in the second direction to close the door assembly.
