Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a device for operating vertical flexible doors.
  • Vertical flexible doors are currently manufactured which are usually constituted by a transverse casement which is associated on the upper part of an opening formed within the perimeter of the building and is connected, at its ends, to two vertical posts; a tube is usually associated inside the transverse casement and has a built-in motor for lifting a sheet which can be rolled up on the outside of said tube.
  • the structure is custom-manufactured as regards the casement, the vertical posts, the tube and the sheet.
  • the installer must perform a second on-site inspection for mounting.
  • a further on-site inspection may therefore be necessary, with a further cost increase.
  • said vertical flexible doors can have a lifting speed of approximately 1.4 m/s, with as many as one million actuations per year.
  • the aim of the present invention is to solve the above-mentioned problems, eliminating the drawbacks of the cited prior art, by providing a device which allows to operate vertical flexible doors with low production and installation costs.
  • an important object of the present invention is to provide a device which makes possible to operate vertical flexible doors by means of simple and quick operations which can be performed also by the user, without requiring preliminary on-site inspections regarding the precise dimensions of the openings to be equipped.
  • Another important object of the present invention is to provide a device which is constructively very flexible and can be adapted to the various dimensions and practical applications that can be found in each case.
  • Another important object of the present invention is to provide a device which allows to considerably simplify, during testing, adjustments such as for example the optimum alignment among the elements contained within the roll-up tube, quick and easy balancing of the springs for rolling up the sheet, the adjustment of their stroke limit, the interconnection of the various components and the positioning of the posts with respect to the masonry, the length of the sheet and the connection thereof to the roll-up tube.
  • Another object of the present invention is to provide a device which is also safe and reliable in use and has low transport and storage costs.
  • a device for operating vertical flexible doors characterized in that it comprises a roll-up tube which is internally provided with seats for the insertion of a gearmotor and of a spring-loaded balancing element, provided with means for connection to a coupling element of another similar tube and means for the quick connection of a sheet, said roll-up tube having first brackets with which a stroke limiter assembly and an assembly for loading said balancing element are associated, said first brackets being associable with lateral posts with which second slotted brackets for wall mounting are slidingly associated, said tube, said sheet and said posts being constituted by individual connectable elements.
  • the reference numeral 1 designates a vertical flexible door, which is usually composed of a transverse profiled element 2 and of two lateral posts 3a and 3b which are associated at the masonry 4 that surrounds an opening 5 to be closed by means of a suitable sheet 6.
  • the present invention relates to a device for operating vertical flexible doors, which comprises a roll-up tube 7, which has standard lengths and can be cut to size, according to the opening 5, optionally reaching the intended size by joining a plurality of tubes by using a suitable coupling element 8.
  • Means for the insertion of a gearmotor 11 and of a spring-loaded balancing element 12 are present inside the roll-up tube.
  • Such means are constituted by a plurality of second guides 13 which protrude radially from the roll-up tube 7 and advantageously have a T-shaped cross-section.
  • the gearmotor 11 can be slidingly inserted at the second guides 13 and has, at its ends, a pair of first flanges 14a and 14b which have suitable first seats 15 shaped complementarily to the second guides 13.
  • the balancing element 12 also has, at one end, a second flange 16 which also has second seats 17 shaped complementarily to the second guides 13; at its other end, said balancing element has a third cylindrical flange 18 whose outside diameter is approximately equal to the inside diameter of the roll-up tube 7.
  • Means for the quick coupling of one end of the sheet 6 are provided on the outer lateral surface of the roll-up tube 7 and are constituted by a profile 19 whose first end 20 is step-shaped and can be selectively arranged at a suitable first opening 21 formed on said roll-up tube.
  • the profile 19 has a second end 22 in which a seat 23 is formed inside which it is possible to arrange, through a second opening 24, the ends of the sheet 6, with which a head 25 having a larger diameter than the second opening 24 has been associated beforehand, so as to allow to insert it laterally to the seat 23 and lock it when traction is applied to the sheet 6.
  • the sheet 6 can be sold directly in rolls to be cut to size; for this purpose there are provided suitable cross-members 26 for joining various sheet portions.
  • the cross-members 26 can have third mutually opposite seats 27 inside which it is possible to slidingly insert, laterally to said cross-members, the ends of two sheets with which a head 25 is associated beforehand which prevents their extraction while unrolling and/or rolling up the sheet 6.
  • Suitable first brackets 28a and 28b are associated at the ends of the roll-up tube 7, at the flanges of the gearmotor 11 and of the balancing element.
  • a stroke limiter assembly 29 and an assembly 30 for loading the balancing element are respectively associated with the brackets 28a and 28b.
  • the assembly 30 is constituted by a toothed ring 31 which is keyed to the shaft 32 of the balancing element 12 and interacts with a worm screw 33 which is rigidly coupled externally at the first bracket 28b.
  • the stroke limiter assembly 29 is of a known kind; when connected to the electrical panel, it allows to deactivate the gearmotor 11.
  • Each one of the lateral posts 3a and 3b within which the sheet 6 and the cross-members 26 are slidingly associable is also constituted by a first groove 34 formed at a wing of a first L-shaped profiled element 35 which constitutes, together with a second profiled element 36 which is also L-shaped but has smaller dimensions, a third opening 37 between the two.
  • the lateral posts 3a and 3b are connected, at the first profiled element 35, to the masonry 4 by means of suitable L-shaped second brackets 39, one wing of which is slidingly associated at a suitable second groove 40 formed adjacent to, and on the opposite side of, the first groove 34: this allows to position the second brackets at the chosen point of the masonry.
  • the other wing of the second brackets 39 has a longitudinal slot 41 which allows to choose the intended point for wall mounting in this case too.
  • each lateral post 3a and 3b can be rigidly coupled to the floor 42 by means of suitable third L-shaped brackets 43, so as to ensure optimum stability of said posts and therefore optimize the sliding of the sheet and of the cross-members therein.
  • first brackets 28a and 28b The locking of the first brackets 28a and 28b to the masonry 4 instead occurs by using suitable fourth brackets 44 which are also L-shaped.
  • the manufacturer can produce beforehand components for providing a vertical flexible door which fits standard openings and can adapt these embodiments to the various dimensions and applications that occur in practice, since for example the width can be achieved by cutting to size, on-site and with simple means such as a hacksaw and scissors, the sheet, the cross-members and the roll-up tube, optionally using the coupling element 8.
  • the lateral posts 3a and 3b by mutually inserting the various first and second profiled elements, cutting the last length.
  • the profiled elements can be mutually locked by means of suitable conventional locking brackets and therefore without the need to perform couplings, holes or preliminary measurements.
  • the presence of the second guides 13 inside the roll-up tube 7 allows to achieve optimum alignment between the gearmotor 11 and the balancing element 12; the balancing element can be subjected to fine adjustment by means of an easy and quick activation of the assembly 30 for loading the balancing element 12 and therefore by simply turning the worm screw 33.
