Abstract

A backplate for a door actuator, includes at least two mounting elements, one of the two mounting elements being formed for fastening to a mounting surface, in particular door, casing or wall, and the other mounting element for accommodating the door actuator. The backplate further includes at least one connecting assembly with a bar element mobile disposed at the first mounting element and a thermally activatable trigger element. The bar element is movable from a retaining position to a release position. In the retaining position, the bar element retains the second mounting element and, in the release position, releases the second mounting element. When thermally activated, the trigger element releases a movement of the bar element to the release position and/or, the trigger element moves the bar element to the release position.

First claim

The invention claimed is:

1. A backplate for a door actuator, comprising
a first mounting element and a second mounting element, wherein one of the two mounting elements is formed for fastening to a mounting surface, and the other mounting element for accommodating the door actuator,
at least one connecting assembly with a bar element disposed mobile at the first mounting element and a thermally activatable trigger element,
wherein the bar element is movable from a retaining position to a release position, wherein, in the retaining position, the bar element retains the second mounting element, and in the release position, releases the second mounting element, and
wherein, upon thermal activation, the trigger element releases a movement of the bar element to the release position and/or, upon thermal activation, the trigger element moves the bar element to the release position.

2. The backplate according to claim 1 , wherein the trigger element is disposed, between the bar element and the first mounting element to block a movement of the bar element to the release position.

3. The backplate according to claim 1 , wherein, under thermal load, the trigger element is destructible, deformable, and/or meltable.

4. The backplate according to claim 1 , wherein the bar element is accommodated in a recess of the first mounting element.

5. The backplate according to claim 1 , wherein, in the retaining position thereof, the bar element and the second mounting element positively engage in each other.

6. The backplate according to claim 1 , wherein the connecting assembly comprises a drive element, with thermally intumescent material and/or a spring for moving the bar element to the release position.

7. The backplate according to claim 1 , wherein the drive element is disposed in a recess of the first mounting element and/or in a recess of the second mounting element.

8. The backplate according to claim 1 , wherein a detaching element is provided, wherein, the detaching element comprises a thermally intumescent material and/or a spring, wherein the detaching element is disposed for pushing the first and the second mounting elements away from each other.

9. The backplate according to claim 8 , wherein the detaching element is disposed in a recess of the first mounting element and/or in a recess of the second mounting element.

10. The backplate according to claim 1 , wherein the first mounting element is formed as a plate.

11. The backplate according to claim 1 , wherein the second mounting element is formed as a plate.

12. The backplate according to claim 1 , wherein a plurality of second mounting elements are provided, which are formed for accommodating the door actuator and/or for fastening to the mounting surface.

13. The backplate according to claim 12 , wherein the plurality of second mounting elements, formed as bushings with female thread, are fitted in the first mounting element.

14. The backplate according to claim 1 , wherein the backplate has a thickness of maximum 60 mm.

15. An assembly comprising a backplate according to claim 1 and a door actuator, which is fastened to the backplate.
