Enclosure with openable and closeable lateral walls and roof surfaces, and sliding door therefor

Abstract

The invention relates to an enclosure, having openable and closeable lateral walls and roof surfaces, as well as a sliding door therefor, comprising frontwalls ( 14 A, 14 B), at least partially-openable and closeable lateral walls ( 16 A, 16 B) and roof surfaces ( 18 A, 18 B). According to said invention, at least one of the lateral walls is embodied as a curtain ( 20 A, 20 B) which can be wound up at the lower end thereof, which is kept ready by means of an end strip ( 22 A, 22 B), guided on both sides thereof, and which can be raised or lowered. When closed, the at least one guided end strip ( 22 A, 22 B) is embodied as a profile (P), at least partially forming roof surfaces and having a boundary area, oriented towards at least one lateral wall ( 16 A, 16 B), from which the curtain ( 20 A, 20 B) is hung in a substantially perpendicular manner.

1 . A housing or enclosure, like for housing a galvanic tank, comprising end walls and side walls that can be opened and closed at least partially, as well as roof sections, wherein at least one of the side walls is formed as a hanging that can be wound up at the bottom end and that is kept ready and can be raised and lowered by an end bar guided on both ends, wherein the guided end bar is formed as a profile, which at least partially forms a roof section in a closed state, and the hanging is fixed to hang essentially vertically on the edge zone of the profile directed towards at least one side wall.  
   
   
       2 . A housing or enclosure according to  claim 1 , wherein one end bar comprises a guided region and at least one freely projecting cantilever region.  
   
   
       3 . A housing or enclosure according to  claim 2 , wherein the free edge of an outwardly pointing cantilever surface pivots outwards when closing relative to the end bar guide.  
   
   
       4 . A housing or enclosure according to  claim 3 , wherein at least one part of the cantilever surface is collapsible or foldable.  
   
   
       5 . A housing or enclosure according to  claim 4 , wherein the one or more collapsible or foldable parts of the cantilever surface is swung open or closed or folded up or unfolded depending on the position of the end bar essentially by its own weight.  
   
   
       6 . A housing or enclosure according to  claim 4 , wherein the one or more collapsible or foldable parts of the cantilever surface are supported by means of a mechanical device or a drive in its collapsing or folding movement.  
   
   
       7 . A housing or enclosure according to  claim 1 , further comprising a drive for opening and closing the side walls, as well as the roof sections, wherein the drive is removed from load by at least one weight compensating device at least over a partial length of the travel path.  
   
   
       8 . A housing or enclosure according to  claim 7 , wherein the weight compensating device is formed such that the drive of the side walls, as well as the roof sections, which can be opened and closed, is loaded by the compensating device on a partial length of the travel path.  
   
   
       9 . A housing or enclosure according to  claim 7 , wherein at least the weight compensating device is designed according to the position of the side walls, as well as the roof sections, which can be opened and closed, so that it can exert a different weight unloading or loading.  
   
   
       10 . A housing or enclosure according to  claim 1 , wherein a wind-up shaft of the hanging can be raised and lowered in a vertical guide.  
   
   
       11 . A housing or enclosure according to  claim 1 , wherein a wind-up shaft is fixed to the hanging, such that it can be moved by the hanging.  
   
   
       12 . A housing or enclosure according to  claim 11 , further comprising a wind-up drive driving the wind-up shaft, wherein the wind-up drive is unloaded by a weight compensating device.  
   
   
       13 . A housing or enclosure according to  claim 1 , wherein the hanging has at least one alloy forming a lubricant film, especially a rubber alloy.  
   
   
       14 . A housing or enclosure according to  claim 1 , wherein the end bar is formed as a suction channel or comprises at least one suction channel.  
   
   
       15 . A housing or enclosure according to  claim 14 , wherein the suction channel connects to a suction opening or port of a suction line or is connected thereto in a closed position of the housing.  
   
   
       16 . A housing or enclosure according to  claim 1 , wherein at least one end bar at least partially stabilizes a wind-up shaft of the hanging against bending by means of the hanging.  
   
   
       17 . A housing or enclosure according to  claim 1 , wherein at least one of the end walls has a seal opening, which reaches up to the housing roof and which continues into a closable roof section opening and wherein the end bar has a cantilever surface at least partially closing and opening the roof section opening.  
   
   
       18 . A sliding gate for a housing or enclosure for housing a galvanic tank, the sliding gate comprising a hanging that can be wound up at a bottom end and a raising and lowering end bar, which is guided on both ends thereof and keeps the hanging ready, wherein the end bar is formed as a profile, which forms at least partially a roof section in a closed state, and the hanging is fixed to hang essentially vertically on an edge zone of the profile directed towards at least one side wall of the housing or enclosure.
