Abstract

A fire protection securing apparatus for securing a door actuator includes a retaining plate, designed for being secured to an assembly surface, in particular door, frame or wall, wherein, perpendicular to the retaining plate, an assembly axis is defined. The fire protection securing apparatus further includes an assembly plate which is secured to the retaining plate and which is designed for receiving the door actuator, and at least one closed reaction chamber arranged between the retaining plate and the assembly plate. The apparatus also includes a drive element of thermally intumescent material which is arranged in the reaction chamber and which is designed to push the assembly plate away from the retaining plate upon thermal activation.

First claim

The invention claimed is:

1. A fire protection securing apparatus for securing a door actuator, the fire protection securing apparatus comprising:
a retaining plate configured for being secured to an assembly surface, wherein, perpendicular to the retaining plate, an assembly axis is defined,
an assembly plate which is secured to the retaining plate configured for receiving the door actuator,
a closed reaction chamber arranged between the retaining plate and the assembly plate, and
a drive element of thermally intumescent material, which is arranged in the closed reaction chamber and which is configured to push the assembly plate away from the retaining plate upon thermal activation, wherein the drive element comprises only the thermally intumescent material, and only the thermally intumescent material is arranged in the closed reaction chamber.

2. The fire protection securing apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein the closed reaction chamber is formed by a pocket in the assembly plate open towards the retaining plate and/or by a pocket in the retaining plate open towards the assembly plate.

3. The fire protection securing apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein the closed reaction chamber has a depth parallel to the assembly axis, wherein at least 50% of the depth of the closed reaction chamber is positioned in the assembly plate.

4. The fire protection securing apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein the retaining plate and the assembly plate bear directly against one another.

5. The fire protection securing apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein the retaining plate and the assembly plate are connected to one another by at least one connecting element.

6. The fire protection securing apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein the retaining plate has first securing points, for screwing to the assembly surface.

7. The fire protection securing apparatus according to claim 6 , wherein the assembly plate has recesses, through which the first securing points of the retaining plate are accessible.

8. The fire protection securing apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein the assembly plate has second securing points, for screwing on the door actuator.

9. The fire protection securing apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein the retaining plate extends perpendicular to the assembly axis over a first cross-sectional area and wherein the assembly plate extends perpendicular to the assembly axis over a second cross-sectional area, wherein a ratio of the first cross-sectional area to the second cross-sectional area is between 0.7 and 1.3.

10. The fire protection securing apparatus according to claim 1 ,
wherein a thickness of the retaining plate defined parallel to the assembly axis is, at the thickest point, between 1 mm and 20 mm, and/or
wherein a thickness of the assembly plate defined parallel to the assembly axis is, at the thickest point, between 1 mm and 30 mm.

11. The fire protection securing apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein the drive element extends over an entire cross-sectional area of the closed reaction chamber defined perpendicular to the assembly axis.

12. An arrangement comprising a door actuator and a fire protection securing apparatus comprising a retaining plate configured for being secured to an assembly surface, wherein, perpendicular to the retaining plate, an assembly axis is defined, an assembly plate which is secured to the retaining plate configured for receiving the door actuator, a closed reaction chamber arranged between retaining plate and assembly plate, and a drive element of thermally intumescent material, which is arranged in the closed reaction chamber and which is configured to push the assembly plate away from the retaining plate upon thermal activation, wherein the drive element comprises only the thermally intumescent material, and only the thermally intumescent material is arranged in the closed reaction chamber, wherein the door actuator is configured to be arranged on the assembly plate.

13. The arrangement according to claim 12 , comprising a covering, which covers the door actuator and which is configured for being secured directly to the assembly plate.

14. A door arrangement, comprising an assembly surface, and an arrangement according to claim 13 , wherein the retaining plate is configured for being secured to the assembly surface.
