Abstract

A door leaf actuator includes a system carrier on which a door closer and other components are arranged. The door closer is arranged in such a way that its drive axle lies as close as possible to one end of the system carrier. In this way, a door leaf drive is provided which is constructed in a simple manner and is easy to service but which nevertheless has only small dimensions.

Claims

1-11. -11. (canceled)

12. A door leaf actuator comprising:

a system carrier having a first end and a second end;

a plurality of components mounted on the system carrier toward said first end; and

a door closer mounted on the carrier toward said second end, said door closer having a drive axle which is located as close as possible to the second end.

13. The door leaf actuator of claim 12 wherein said components comprise a power supply, a drive motor, a hydraulic block, and a pump.

14. The door leaf actuator of claim 13 further comprising a switch block arranged between the door closer and the second end, said switch block having switches.

15. The door leaf actuator of claim 13 wherein the power supply and the drive motor are arranged in this order from the first end toward the door closer, said hydraulic block and said pump being arranged between the drive motor and the door closer.

16. The door leaf actuator of claim 15 wherein the pump is arranged between the hydraulic block and the door closer.

17. The door leaf actuator of claim 15 wherein said drive motor is provided with a flange, said hydraulic block and said pump being fixed to said door closer by screws extending between said flange and said door closer.

18. The door leaf actuator of claim 12 further comprising a control board fixed to said door closer opposite from said carrier.

19. The door leaf actuator of claim 18 wherein said door closer comprises valves having adjusting screws, said control board having holes for accessing said adjusting screws.

20. The door leaf actuator of claim 12 further comprising a cover hood which can be fixed to said carrier, said cover hood covering said door closer and said components but not covering the switches of the switch block.

21. The door leaf actuator of claim 20 wherein said carrier comprises locking openings at said first end and retaining springs at said second end for fixing said cover hood to said system carrier.

22. The door leaf actuator of claim 21 wherein said cover hood has locking pins which engage in said locking openings.
