<description id="desc" lang="en"><!-- EPO <DP n="1"> -->
<p id="p0001" num="0001">The present invention relates to a sliding door or sliding window.</p>
<p id="p0002" num="0002">As is known, sliding doors or sliding windows comprise a fixed frame that is composed of hollow profiles and a door element that is movably affixed in the frame.</p>
<p id="p0003" num="0003">Sliding doors and sliding windows are increasingly being driven by electric motors, which in the past were mounted visibly.</p>
<p id="p0004" num="0004">Such sliding doors or sliding windows generally contain a belt drive with a belt that is mounted out of view in a surface-mounted cabinet and which is guided over at least two return pulleys that are turnably affixed around shafts that are fixed in the frame, whereby the belt or similar is coupled to the movable door element and whereby the belt drive is driven by means of a motor drive that comprises a motor and if need be a transmission. <patcit id="pcit0001" dnum="EP1113139A2"><text>EP 1 113 139 A2</text></patcit> discloses an example of a sliding door.</p>
<p id="p0005" num="0005">In order to meet the aesthetic requirements of the customer, the drive with the motor drive is increasingly mounted in a concealed way in the hollow profiles of the fixed frame so that its visibility is as limited as possible in both the closed and open position of the window or door.</p>
<p id="p0006" num="0006">The problem that thereby arises is that by mounting the<!-- EPO <DP n="2"> --> motor or motor set in a concealed way, the accessibility of the various components is greatly limited, for example for installing cabling or for maintenance or replacement of parts or similar.</p>
<p id="p0007" num="0007">In the event of a fault in one of the components, it is disadvantageous that the entire motor or motor drive or large parts thereof often have to be replaced, which in the case of a built-in motor or motor drive is generally no easy task. In addition, different elements often have to be dismantled or detached, which brings about extra lost time.</p>
<p id="p0008" num="0008">Also the building in of the motor or motor drive and the provision of the necessary facilities for building in also bring about a relatively high cost for the producer.</p>
<p id="p0009" num="0009">The purpose of the invention is to provide a solution to one or more of the aforementioned and other problems.</p>
<p id="p0010" num="0010">To this end the invention concerns a sliding door according to claim 1.<br/>
In particular, the motor drive is mounted in a recess of the fixed frame and is at least partially movable from this recess without the belt drive having to be dismantled and without the motor or the motor drive having to be detached.</p>
<p id="p0011" num="0011">An advantage of a drive according to the invention is that for use it can be integrated in the frame of the door or window in a concealed way without the drive being visible, but notwithstanding this advantage the drive is easy to mount and afterwards the motor drive or components thereof<!-- EPO <DP n="3"> --> are also easy to dismantle for maintenance, repair or replacement.</p>
<p id="p0012" num="0012">Preferably the motor drive or at least a part thereof is rotatably affixed around the shaft of a return pulley of the belt drive between a usage position, whereby the motor drive is put away in the frame of the door of the window, and a mounting or dismantling position in which the motor drive is at least partially turned away from the usage position out of the frame.</p>
<p id="p0013" num="0013">The invention thus concerns a sliding window or sliding door with a modularly constructed motor or motor drive that is preferably built into a top profile of the fixed frame and of which at least a part can rotate downwards around the shaft of the return pulley. Hereby the crucial components are ergonomically accessible and parts of the rotating part or the entire part can be replaced if necessary.</p>
<p id="p0014" num="0014">Moreover, as a result the motor drive in the mounting-dismantling position can remain functionally coupled to the belt drive, which can be useful for test and adjustment purposes.</p>
<p id="p0015" num="0015">Because the motor drive or a part thereof rotates around a return pulley, the drive belt does not need to be detached and does not have to be adjusted again after the motor drive is put back in the usage position.<!-- EPO <DP n="4"> --></p>
<p id="p0016" num="0016">Preferably the motor drive comprises an electric motor with a mechanical coupling that enables the motor to be detached or snapped out of the motor drive so that the motor can easily be replaced.</p>
<p id="p0017" num="0017">By turning the motor drive or part thereof away, the motor can be detached from the electricity supply by means of a docking connector or coupling of which one connector part is immovably mounted in the frame and another connector part is mounted on the motor and which are detachable from one another, while the cabling for the supply and control can remain coupled to the fixed connector part, so that no cabling has to be detached for maintenance or repair.</p>
<p id="p0018" num="0018">According to a particular aspect of the invention, the aforementioned drive is made up of two profiles that are axially movable with respect to one another, i.e. a first profile that is intended to be mounted in the fixed frame of the sliding door or of the sliding window or which forms part of that fixed frame and on which the aforementioned belt drive and the motor drive are mounted on one side and a second profile that is intended to be mounted on the movable door or window element or that forms part thereof and which is locally connected to the belt of the aforementioned belt drive, whereby a recess is provided in the first profile to be able to move the motor drive or a part thereof at least partially to the other side of the profile concerned, without the belt drive having to be dismantled and without the motor or the motor drive having to be detached.<!-- EPO <DP n="5"> --></p>
<p id="p0019" num="0019">This enables the drive as a whole to be assembled beforehand at the supplier, which makes it easier for the installer of the windows to build in the drive, as only a limited number of separate components in a preassembled state have to be built in.<!-- EPO <DP n="6"> --></p>
<p id="p0020" num="0020">With the intention of better showing the characteristics of the invention, a preferred embodiment of a sliding door or sliding window according to the invention is described hereinafter by way of an example,<!-- EPO <DP n="7"> --> with reference to the accompanying drawings, wherein:
<ul id="ul0001" list-style="none" compact="compact">

<li><figref idref="f0007">figure 7</figref> shows the part of <figref idref="f0006">figure 6</figref> in a position during normal use of the drive;</li>
<li><figref idref="f0008">figure 8</figref> shows the situation of <figref idref="f0006">figure 6</figref>, but with a dismantled motor.</li>
</ul></p>
<p id="p0021" num="0021">The sliding door 1 shown in <figref idref="f0001">figures 1</figref> and <figref idref="f0002">2</figref> is made up of a frame 2 that is composed of a number of hollow profiles 3 of aluminium or similar, of which, for simplicity the top profile has been omitted in <figref idref="f0001">figure 1</figref>, whereby this frame 2 is intended to be built into a door opening not shown.</p>
<p id="p0022" num="0022">A fixed door element 4 is provided in the frame 2, as well as a door element 5 that is movably affixed in the frame 2 and which is movable between a closed position and an open position, as shown in <figref idref="f0001">figure 1</figref>, in which the door element 5 is slid in the direction of arrow P in front of the fixed<!-- EPO <DP n="8"> --> door element 4.</p>
<p id="p0023" num="0023">For moving the movable door element 5, a drive 6 is provided that is shown as a separate built-in part in <figref idref="f0003">figures 3</figref> and <figref idref="f0004">4</figref> that is intended to be built into the top hollow profile 3 or which can be directly integrated in the frame 2 and on the movable door element 5 as shown in <figref idref="f0001">figures 1</figref> and <figref idref="f0002">2</figref>.</p>
<p id="p0024" num="0024">In the rest of the description we will take this last situation as a basis.</p>
<p id="p0025" num="0025">In the presentation method of <figref idref="f0003 f0004 f0005 f0006 f0007 f0008">figure 3 to 8</figref> the sliding door or window comprises two profiles, respectively a first profile 7, which in fact is the bottom profile wall of the top horizontal profile 3 of the frame 2, and a second profile 8 that in fact is the top profile wall of the top horizontal profile of the movable door element 5 and which in this way is axially movable on the underside 9 of the first profile 7 with respect to this profile 7.</p>
<p id="p0026" num="0026">On the top 10 of the first profile 7 a belt drive 11 is mounted with a belt 12, in this case a toothed belt, that is guided over two return pulleys 13 and 14 whose shafts 15 are fixed on this first profile 7.</p>
<p id="p0027" num="0027">Furthermore, the drive 6 is provided with a motor drive 17 for the belt drive 11, whereby this motor drive 17 is composed of an electric motor 18 and a transmission 19 between the motor 18 and the belt drive 11.<!-- EPO <DP n="9"> --></p>
<p id="p0028" num="0028">The motor 18 is preferably detachably connected to the transmission 19 by means of a detachable mechanical coupling 20, for example in the form of a plug coupling, snap coupling, bayonet fitting or similar.</p>
<p id="p0029" num="0029">The belt 12 is immovably connected at a certain place to the second profile 8, for example by means of a connector, not shown, with which the ends of the belt 12 are connected together in a loop around the return pulleys 13, 14, such that when the belt drive 11 is driven in the one or the other direction, the profiles 7 and 8 move towards one another or away from one another.</p>
<p id="p0030" num="0030">According to a specific characteristic of the invention, the motor drive 17 or a part thereof is freely rotatably affixed around a shaft that is fixed on the profile 7, in this case around the shaft 16 of the return pulley 14 or a shaft that is coaxial with it.</p>
<p id="p0031" num="0031">Due to this rotatable connection of the motor drive 17 it is possible to rotate the motor drive 17 from the position shown in <figref idref="f0006">figure 6</figref> in which this motor drive 17 is perpendicular to the belt drive 11 along the underside 9 of the profile 7, to the position shown in <figref idref="f0007">figure 7</figref> in which the motor drive 17 on the top 10 of the profile 7 is positioned in line with the belt drive 11.</p>
<p id="p0032" num="0032">In order to enable this rotation of the position of <figref idref="f0006">figure 6</figref> with the motor drive 17 essentially located on the underside 9 of the profile 7 to the position of <figref idref="f0007">figure 7</figref> on<!-- EPO <DP n="10"> --> the top 10 of the profile 7 a recess 21 is provided in the profile 7.</p>
<p id="p0033" num="0033">The position shown in <figref idref="f0007">figure 7</figref> corresponds to the normal functional usage position of the motor drive 17 in which the complete drive 6 of the sliding door 1 is concealed in the top profile 3 of the frame 2 and the motor drive 17 is concealed in a recess 21' above the recess 21 of the profile 7.</p>
<p id="p0034" num="0034">A cover 22 can be provided that enables the recess 21 to be covered in order to hide the motor drive from view. In the mounted situation, this cover 22 is preferably in line with the top profile 3 of the frame 2 in order to disturb the profiling of the frame as little as possible.</p>
<p id="p0035" num="0035">Preferably the drive 6 is provided with a type of docking connector 23 for the electrical connection/disconnection of the motor 18, with a first connector part 23 that is equipped to be mounted in the fixed frame 2 and connected to cabling for the supply and any control, and a detachable complementary second connector part 25 of the motor 18 that can be coupled to the first connector part 24 when the motor drive of the position of <figref idref="f0006">figure 6</figref> is turned to the usage position of <figref idref="f0007">figure 7</figref>.</p>
<p id="p0036" num="0036">For maintenance or repair, after removing the cover 22, the motor drive 17 can be turned away from the cavity of the frame 2 so that, as shown in <figref idref="f0001">figures 1</figref> and <figref idref="f0002">2</figref>, this motor drive 17 is then accessible for the fitter or repairer who, if need be, can also easily detach the motor.<!-- EPO <DP n="11"> --></p>
<p id="p0037" num="0037">By turning the motor drive 17 towards the outside the electricity supply is automatically disconnected by the disconnection of the connector 23 so that the sliding door 1 cannot be activated unintentionally.</p>
<p id="p0038" num="0038">It is clear that in an embodiment which is not part of the invention, the drive 6 does not necessarily have to be built on the sliding profiles 7 and 8, but that the belt drive 11 and the motor drive 17 can be mounted directly in the frame and on the movable door element 5.<br/>
It is clear that the term belt transmission can just as well mean a cable transmission or chain transmission.<br/>
It is clear that the motor drive 17 can also comprise two or more mutually coupled intermediate transmissions between the motor 18 and the belt drive 11, whereby one of these intermediate transmissions is rotatably affixed around a shaft that is fixed in the frame in order to be able to turn the motor out of the recess in the frame, whereby one or more intermediate transmissions remain in place as a part of the motor drive when turning the motor to the outside.<br/>
It is not excluded that the motor drive 17 does not comprise a transmission and which in that case the motor 18 directly drives the return pulley 14, for example.</p>
<p id="p0039" num="0039">In an embodiment which is not part of the invention, the motor drive or a part thereof is not rotatable, but alternatively is entirely or partially made to slide out.<!-- EPO <DP n="12"> --></p>
<p id="p0040" num="0040">It is clear that the motor drive 17 does not necessarily have to be mounted in a top profile 3 of the frame 2, but can also be mounted in a bottom profile 3 or in a side profile 3. Moreover, it is not necessary that the belt drive 11 and the motor drive 17 have to be mounted in the same profile 3, whereby the belt drive 11 is mounted in the top profile for example, while the motor drive 17 or a part thereof is mounted in a connecting side profile 3 of the frame 2.<br/>
The present invention is by no means limited to the embodiments described as an example and shown in the drawings, but a sliding door or sliding window according to the invention can be realised in all kinds of forms and dimensions without departing from the scope of the appended claims.</p>
