DEVICE FOR OPENING AND CLOSING A DOOR AND METHOD INSTALLING SUCH A DEVICE
First Claim
1. An apparatus for opening or closing a door, comprising a rolling device provided to be mounted on the door or in an area adjacent to the door, which comprises a tray-shaped housing composed of at least two complementary housing parts, in which a drive unit is arranged, which is connected via a drive shaft to a drive wheel which, in an assembled operating position of the rolling device, is in frictional contact with a rolling surface facing the drive wheel, wherein a fixing element is provided on a housing part, which co-acts with an opposite fixing element provided on the other housing part in an assembled state of the housing parts such that the co-acting fixing elements form a fixed bearing for the drive shaft supporting the drive wheel, the fixing elements including each at least one recess (16, 16′
- ), which in the assembled state of the housing parts form at least one bearing seat for at least one bearing of the drive shaft of the drive wheel, wherein a housing part, for the slidable support, comprises linear guiding means to be connected with corresponding linear guiding means of a fixing member provided to be fastened to the door, so that, when mounted on a door, the rolling device can be guided along a floor or bottom structure, wherein the linear guiding means of the housing part are arranged adjacent to the bearing seat of the bearing of the drive shaft.

Abstract
A device for opening and closing a door is provided, with a rolling device having a shell-shaped housing assembled from two complementary housing parts and in which a driving device is arranged, which is connected via a drive shaft to a driving wheel which, in a fitted operating position of the rolling device, is in frictional contact with a rolling surface facing the driving wheel. A fixing body is arranged on a housing part, which together with an opposite fixing body on the other housing part, form a fixed bearing for the drive shaft, each fixing body further having a recess forming a bearing seat for a bearing of the drive shaft. A housing part has linear guide means for connection to corresponding linear guide means of a fastening element. The linear guide means are arranged adjacent to the bearing seat. A method for installing such a device is also provided.

9. A method for assembling a rolling device provided to be mounted on a door or in an area adjacent to the door for opening or closing the door, whereby a drive unit is assembled or provided in a pre-assembled state, which is connected via a drive shaft to a drive wheel which, in an assembled operating position of the rolling device, is in frictional contact with a rolling surface facing the wheel, and the drive unit is arranged in a tray-shaped housing composed of at least two complementary housing parts, wherein the drive shaft is positioned between the two housing parts such that a fixing element mounted on a housing part cooperates with an opposite fixing element provided on the other housing part such that the cooperating fixing elements form a fixed bearing for the drive shaft supporting the drive wheel, the fixing elements including each at least one recess, which, in the assembled state of the housing parts, form at least one bearing seat for at least one bearing of the drive shaft of the drive wheel, whereby a housing part, for the slidable support, comprises linear guiding means to be connected with corresponding linear guiding means of a fixing element provided to be fastened to the door, so that, when mounted on the door, the rolling device can be guided along a ground or bottom structure, wherein the linear guiding means of the housing part are arranged adjacent to the bearing seat of the bearing of the drive shaft.
