Abstract

A door closing device having a housing, a lever interface for the attachment of a door closing mechanism ( 110 ), which interface is rotatably supported in the housing, a spring device, which charges the lever interface with a closing torque, and a dampening device for dampening the charging of the lever interface with the closing torque, where the housing is configured, at least in sections, as a cold-deformed structural member.

Claims (14)

1 . A door closing device ( 10 ) having a housing ( 20 ), a lever interface ( 30 ) for the attachment of a door closing mechanism ( 110 ), which interface is rotatably supported in the housing ( 20 ), a spring device ( 40 ), which charges the lever interface ( 30 ) with a closing torque, and a dampening device ( 50 ) for dampening the charging of the lever interface ( 30 ) with the closing torque, characterized in that the housing ( 20 ) is configured, at least in sections, as a cold-deformed structural member.

2 . The door closing device ( 10 ) according to claim 1 , characterized in that the housing ( 20 ) is configured, at least in sections, as a cold-deformed deep-drawn structural member.

3 . The door closing device ( 10 ) according any of the preceding claims, characterized in that the housing ( 20 ) includes at least two housing parts ( 22 a, 22 b ), which are configured in particular as cold-deformed housing parts ( 22 a, 22 b ).

4 . The door closing device ( 10 ) according any of the preceding claims, characterized in that the housing ( 20 ) includes at least one fluid-tight terminal section ( 24 ) as a cold-deformed structural member.

5 . The door closing device ( 10 ) according any of the preceding claims, characterized in that the housing ( 20 ) includes a cylindrically-shaped or an essentially cylindrically-shaped basic form, wherein at least one radial cut-out ( 26 ) is provided for the reception of a bearing bushing ( 60 ) intended for the rotatable support of the lever interface ( 30 ).

6 . The door closing device ( 10 ) according any of the preceding claims, characterized in that the housing ( 20 ) includes at least one housing envelope ( 28 ), in which dampening channels ( 52 ) of the dampening device ( 50 ) are disposed.

7 . The door closing device ( 10 ) according any of the preceding claims, characterized in that the housing ( 20 ) includes a constant or an essentially constant walling thickness.

8 . The door closing device ( 10 ) according any of the preceding claims, characterized in that at least one fluid-tight terminal section ( 24 ) of the housing ( 20 ) is configured as a housing cover ( 25 ), in particular as a cold-deformed housing cover ( 25 ).

9 . The door closing device ( 10 ) according any of the preceding claims, characterized in that the housing ( 20 ) surrounds the spring device ( 40 ) and the dampening device ( 50 ) in a fluid-tight manner.

10 . A method for manufacturing a door closing device ( 10 ), in particular having the features of any of the claims 1 to 9 , including the steps of:

cold-deforming, at least in sections, of one structural member for manufacturing a housing ( 20 ),

disposing a spring device ( 40 ) and a dampening device ( 50 ) within the housing ( 20 ),

rotatably supporting a lever interface ( 30 ) for the attachment of a door closing mechanism ( 110 ) within the housing ( 20 ),

sealing the housing ( 20 ) against fluid discharge.
