Abstract

In an actuator of a combined acceleration and deceleration device with an operating element which is height-adjustable along a guide element and, by means of an adjustment arrangement, relative to the guide element, the operating element comprises a support plate and at least one carrier lug which extends normal to the support plate and has a guide element accommodation opening for receiving the guide element. The adjustment arrangement has a tool receiving cavity and the support plate has elastically deformable abutment webs. The invention also resides in a sliding door comprising an acceleration and deceleration device as well as such an actuator.

Claims (12)

1. An actuator ( 30 ) of a combined acceleration and deceleration device ( 87 ) with an operating element ( 41 ) which is height adjustable along a guide element ( 31 ) and, by an adjustment arrangement ( 61 ), relative to the guide element ( 30 ), the operating element ( 41 ) comprising a support plate ( 51 ) and at least one carrier lug ( 42 ) extending normal to the support plate ( 51 ), wherein:

the carrier lug ( 42 ) has a guide element accommodation opening ( 43 ) for receiving a guide member ( 33 ) of the guide element ( 31 ),

the adjustment arrangement ( 61 ) has a tool receiving cavity ( 66 ) facing away from the guide element ( 31 ) and

the support plate ( 31 ) has abutment webs ( 53 ) which are elastic and extend along the outside of the carrier plate ( 51 ).

2. The actuator ( 30 ) according to claim 1 , wherein the abutment webs ( 53 ) have in an undeformed state at least approximately the shape of an outwardly curved ellipse section.

3. The actuator ( 30 ) according to claim 1 , wherein the support plate ( 51 ) includes a threaded sleeve ( 56 ) for receiving an adjustment element ( 62 ) of the adjustment arrangement ( 61 ).

4. The actuator ( 30 ) according to claim 1 , wherein said actuator ( 30 ) comprises two carrier lugs ( 42 ) and two guide members ( 33 ).

5. The actuator ( 30 ) according to claim 4 , wherein at least the operating element ( 41 ) and the guide element 931 ) are oriented symmetrically with regard to an axis of symmetry which extends normal to the longitudinal direction ( 15 ) and normal to the transverse direction ( 17 ).

6. The actuator ( 30 ) according to claim 1 , wherein the guide element ( 31 ) has at least two threaded bores ( 36 ) with which openings ( 55 , 57 ) formed in the operating element ( 41 ) are in alignment.

7. The actuator ( 30 ) according to claim 1 , wherein the operating element ( 41 ) consists of an elastic material.

8. A sliding door arrangement ( 10 ) including an acceleration and deceleration device ( 87 ) and an actuator ( 30 ) according to claim 1 .

9. The sliding door arrangement ( 10 ) according to claim 8 , wherein the actuator ( 30 ) is mounted in a U-shaped door guide track ( 20 ) which comprises longitudinal guide webs ( 22 , 23 ) wherein the abutment webs ( 53 ) are engaged with the longitudinal guide webs ( 22 , 23 ) in a force-locking manner.
