Abstract
The invention relates to a sealing device (11, 35, 41) for sealing a gap (32) between a lintel (30) and a roller shutter (10, 34, 40). The sealing device (11, 35, 41) has a sealing means (23) for arranging at the upper end of a top shutter element (24) of the roller shutter (10, 34, 40). For covering a gap (32) in a functional and/or cost-effective way between a lintel (30) and a roller shutter (10, 34, 40), preferably in case of a completely unrolled door blade (12), the sealing device (11, 35, 41) is characterized in that a swivel mechanism (25, 37, 43) is provided for swivelling the sealing means (23) from a sealing position into a winding position and from a winding position into a sealing position.
Claims20
A sealing device for sealing a gap between a lintel and a roller shutter, the sealing device comprising:
- a sealing means at an upper end of a top shutter element of the roller shutter;
- a swivel mechanism arranged to swivel the sealing means from a sealing position into a winding position and from the winding position into the sealing position, wherein the swivel mechanism comprises a first swivel element for swiveling the sealing means from the sealing position into the winding position;
- and
- a swivel axis, wherein the first swivel element and the sealing means are positioned to rotate opposite one another with respect to the swivel axis;
- wherein the first swivel element and the sealing means rotate about the swivel axis to swivel the sealing means from the sealing position to the winding position, such that the first swivel element is moved towards the top shutter element and the sealing means is moved away from the shutter element;
- wherein the roller shutter comprises a coiling device and wherein the swivel mechanism comprises a further swivel element fixed to the coiling device to rotate the first swivel element and sealing means about the swivel axis into the winding position.
