Abstract
Description
- The present invention relates to a support, particularly for a panel of an in-wall retractable sliding door or a sliding door positioned close to the ceiling.
- Nowadays it is known to provide door frames which involve the use of an in-wall frame, positioned inside a wall, in which a door or a panel is slideably associated and which is also known as an "in-wall retractable door".
- Such solution makes it possible to reduce the encumbrances of the door in a room thanks to the possibility of sliding it into the in-wall frame: thus one can use the space adjacent to the door, which would otherwise be occupied by doors of the type that are hinged laterally to a casement.
- Trolleys coupled to the upper edge of the door are slideably integrated in a rail in order to enable the sliding of the door into and out of the in-wall frame.
- A drawback suffered by such known art consists in that it is not possible to position the panel very close to the rail or to the ceiling, so that gaps occur which have to be hidden with covers that are unsightly and which weigh down the structure and increase its cost overall.
- Furthermore, as the distance between the panel and the rail increases, the levels of play between the various components also increase, with the possibility that the panel may be subject to lifting and oscillations that compromise its correct operation.
- The aim of the present invention is therefore to resolve the above mentioned technical problems, eliminating the drawbacks in the cited known art and hence providing a support according to the invention that makes it possible to fix a panel of a sliding door as close as possible to a rail or to the ceiling.
- Within this aim, an object of the invention is to provide a support according to the invention that makes it possible to keep the panel stably and securely associated with the rail.
- Another object is to provide a support according to the invention that makes it possible to keep the panel in position while preventing any lifting or oscillations.
- Another object is to provide a support according to the invention that is structurally simple, can be provided with conventional systems and machines, and is low cost.
- This aim and these and other objects which will become better apparent hereinafter, are achieved by a support, particularly for a panel of an in-wall retractable sliding door or a sliding door positioned close to the ceiling, characterized in that it is constituted by a bracket, which can be associated with a recess provided longitudinally with respect to the first upper surface of said panel proximate to a first lateral surface thereof, with which a square first head of a first screw is slideably associable, said screw being associable with a trolley for the sliding of said door or with a ceiling support, said first head interacting with a stop element associated with said bracket and with means adapted to eliminate the tolerance between said first head and said bracket which comprise an insert, means being provided for locking the position of said insert with respect to said bracket.
- Further characteristics and advantages of the support according to the invention will become better apparent from the detailed description of a particular, but not exclusive, embodiment, which is illustrated by way of non-limiting example in the accompanying drawings wherein:
-

Figures 9 and 10 are respectively a side view and a view from above of the pin inFigure 1a ; -
Figure 11 shows a variation of what is shown inFigure 1a . - In the exemplary embodiments illustrated, individual characteristics shown in relation to specific examples may in reality be interchanged with other, different characteristics, existing in other exemplary embodiments.
- With reference to the figures, the
reference numeral 1 generally designates a support, particularly for apanel 2 of an in-wall retractable sliding door or a sliding door positioned close to the ceiling. - The
support 1 is constituted by abracket 3 which can be associated, by way of adapted means such as screws, with a recess 4 provided longitudinally with respect to the firstupper surface 5 of thepanel 2 proximate to a firstlateral surface 6 thereof. - The
bracket 3 has a desired length and is positioned in the recess 4 so as to arrange one of itsends 3a substantially flush with the firstlateral surface 6 of thepanel 2. - The
bracket 3 has, in a transverse cross-section, an Ω (omega)-like shape, so as to define abase 7 which is substantially as wide as the recess 4 and from which twoarms first tabs base 7 for part of the width of the recess 4. - In this way a
channel 10 is defined which is directed toward the ceiling or toward an adaptedtrolley 11 which is associated slideably with an adaptedrail 12. - Inside the
channel 10 the squarefirst head 13 of afirst screw 14 can be slideably associated; the threadedfirst shank 15 of such first screw can be associated with thetrolley 11 in order to achieve the sliding of thepanel 2 of the door either on thetrolley 11 or on the ceiling. - One of the second
lateral surfaces first head 13, particularly thelateral surface 16a directed away from the firstlateral surface 6 of thepanel 2, interacts with astop element 17 which is constituted by a strip provided, for example by cutting, on thebase 7 of thebracket 3 and protruding partially therefrom in the direction of thetrolley 12; thestop element 17 prevents the axial sliding of thefirst head 13 within thebracket 3 beyond a given preset position. - The
stop element 17 can also be constituted by a boss that is cut in half, as shown inFigures 4, 5 and 6 ; such boss is shaped substantially like a quarter of a sphere and defines a very robust stop element. - The second
lateral surface 16b of thefirst head 13 which is directed toward the firstlateral surface 6 of thepanel 2 interacts instead with aninsert 18, which is shaped substantially like a parallelepiped and is adapted to eliminate the tolerance between thefirst head 13 and thebracket 3. - The
insert 18 is slideably and axially insertable within thechannel 10 of thebracket 3; theinsert 18 has substantially the same width and height as thechannel 10 and a length equal to the distance between theend 3a of thebracket 3 and thestop element 17. - The
insert 18 is provided with means adapted to eliminate the tolerance between thefirst head 13 and thebracket 3, such means being constituted by asecond tab 19 which protrudes at an end of theinsert 18 which is directed toward thestop element 17 and interacts therewith, thesecond tab 19 being thinner than theinsert 18 and lying on a plane adjacent to thebase 7 of thebracket 3. - The
second tab 19 is arrangeable below thefirst head 13 and is adapted to propel thefirst head 13 upwardly, until it interacts in abutment against the twofirst tabs bracket 3, and is adapted to arrange the step-like discontinuity 20 which forms between thesecond tab 19 and theinsert 18 adjacent to and in contact with the secondlateral surface 16b of thefirst head 13. - In this way the tolerance is eliminated between the square
first head 13 of the screw 4 and thebracket 3, which is expressly provided in order to make one element slide in the other without impediment, while preventing thepanel 2 from being lifted and therefore from oscillating; furthermore the screw 4 is locked in a fixed position. - Furthermore, means are provided for locking the position of the
insert 18 with respect to thebracket 3. - On the end of the
insert 18 adjacent to the firstlateral surface 6 of thepanel 2, there is alongitudinal notch 21 which is adapted to define twowings - On the lateral surfaces of the
wings arms bracket 3 there areteeth holes 24 provided on each one of the twoarms - With reference to the embodiment in
Figure 1 , at thenotch 21 provided at theinsert 18 there is present ahollow cylinder 26, which is molded integrally with theinsert 18 and the function of which is to keep thesecond screw 25 parallel to theinsert 18. - By tightening the
screw 25, thecylinder 26 yields sufficiently for theinsert 18 to be splayed and be locked in position; indeed, thecylinder 26 increases the contrasting thickness, thus improving the locking. - With reference to the embodiment in
Figure 1a , thesecond shank 27 of apin 28 can be axially associated at thenotch 21; thesecond shank 27 is adapted to splay the twowings teeth holes 24. - The
pin 28 is substantially T-shaped overall so as to define thesecond shank 27 and a square-shapedsecond head 29. - The
second shank 27 has amain body 30 with a circular cross-section, theends central part 32; furthermore there are, externally with respect to themain body 30 at the lateral surface of thecentral part 32 and according to mutually parallel directrices, a pair oflateral wings - Each one of the
lateral wings second head 29 and extends along thesecond shank 27 along part of its length. - There is furthermore, externally with respect to the
main body 30 and at the lateral surface of thecentral part 32 which is not affected by thelateral wings upper wing 34 with a substantially square cross-section which branches off at one end from thesecond head 29 and extends along thesecond shank 27 for part of its length, advantageously to a greater extent than that of the pair oflateral wings - At the third
lateral surfaces notch 21 provided at theinsert 18, a pair of half-cylinders 36a, 36b protrude, facing each other and molded in one piece with theinsert 18, the function of which is to keep thesecond shank 27 of thepin 28 parallel to theinsert 18 and to improve the locking of the latter to thebracket 3. - When the
second shank 27 of thepin 28 is positioned in thenotch 21, itscentral part 32, since it has a greater diameter than that of theends wings teeth holes 24 of thebracket 3. - The particular shape structure of the
second shank 27 of thepin 28, tapered at thefree end 31a facing away from thesecond head 29, facilitates the insertion within theinsert 18, while the tapering of thesecond shank 27 determines, proximate to thesecond head 29, a narrower region that makes it possible to achieve the locking of thepin 28 within theinsert 18. - The bulge of the
central part 32 of themain body 30 of thesecond shank 27 prevents, owing to the presence of thelateral wings upper wing 34, the rotation of thepin 28, further contributing to the locking thereof. -
Figure 11 shows a possible different embodiment for thepin 28 in which the pairs oflateral wings second shank 27, and instead, externally with respect to themain body 30 and at the lateral surface of thecentral part 32 and according to mutually parallel directrices, a pair of flattened-out features are obtained that reduce the lateral space occupation of themain body 30 and extend along thesecond shank 27 for part of its length. - Thus it has been found that the invention fully achieves the intended aim and objects, a support having been devised which, applied to a panel of a sliding door, makes it possible to fix it as close as possible to a rail or to the ceiling.
- Furthermore the support makes it possible to keep the panel stably and securely associated with the rail, preventing it from being subjected to possible lifting or oscillations.
- The
insert 18 further acts as a plug and therefore as a finishing at the firstlateral surface 6 of thepanel 2. - It has further been found that the particular tapered shape structure of the
second shank 27 of thepin 28 facilitates the insertion within theinsert 18 and creates a narrower region in order to achieve the locking of the position of thepin 28. - It has also been found that the bulge of the
central part 32 of themain body 30 of thesecond shank 27, owing to the presence of thelateral wings upper wing 34, prevents the rotation of thepin 28, further contributing to the locking thereof. - Last but not least, the support is structurally simple and low cost.
- The support according to the invention is susceptible of numerous modifications and variations, all of which are within the scope of the appended claims.
- The materials used as well as the dimensions of the individual components of the invention may be more pertinent according to specific requirements.
- The various means of achieving certain different functions certainly need not coexist only in the embodiment shown, but may be present in many embodiments, even if they are not shown. The characteristics indicated above as advantageous, convenient or the like, may also be missing or be substituted by equivalent characteristics.

- The support according to one or more of the preceding claims, characterized in that the second lateral surface (16b) of said first head (13) which is directed toward said first lateral surface (6) of said panel (2) interacts with an insert (18), which is shaped substantially like a parallelepiped and is adapted to eliminate the tolerance between said first head (13) and said bracket (3), said insert (18) being slideably and axially insertable within said channel (10) of said bracket (3), said insert (18) having substantially the same width and height as said channel (10) and a length equal to the distance between said end (3a) of said bracket (3) and said stop element (17).
- The support according to one or more of the preceding claims, characterized in that said insert (18) is provided with means adapted to eliminate the tolerance between said first head (13) and said bracket (3), said means being constituted by a second tab (19) which protrudes at an end of said insert (18) which is directed toward said stop element (17) and interacts therewith, said second tab (19) being thinner than said insert (18) and lying on a plane adjacent to said base (7) of said bracket (3), said second tab (19) being arrangeable below said first head (13) and being adapted to propel said first head (13) upwardly, until it interacts in abutment against said two first tabs (9a, 9b) of said bracket (3), and being adapted to arrange the step-like discontinuity (20) which forms between said second tab (19) and said insert (18) adjacent to and in contact with said second lateral surface (16b) of said first head (13).
- The support according to one or more of the preceding claims, characterized in that said means for locking the position of said insert (18) with respect to said bracket (3) comprise said insert (18), on the end thereof which is adjacent to said first lateral surface (6) of said panel (2) there is a longitudinal notch (21) which is adapted to define two wings (22a, 22b) which can be splayed elastically, on the lateral surfaces of said wings (22a, 22b) which are directed toward said two arms (8a, 8b) of said bracket (3) there being teeth (23a, 23b) which interact with complementarily-shaped grip means constituted by seats or holes (24) provided on each one of said two arms (8a, 8b).
- The support according to one or more of the preceding claims, characterized in that the shank of a second screw (25) can be screwed at said notch (21), said second screw being adapted to splay said two wings (22a, 22b) until said teeth (23a, 23b) are arranged within said holes (24).
- The support according to one or more of the preceding claims, characterized in that said stop element (17) is constituted by a boss that is cut in half and is shaped substantially like a quarter of a sphere.
- The support according to one or more of the preceding claims, characterized in that at said notch (21) provided at said insert (18) there is a hollow cylinder (26), which is molded integrally with said insert (18) and the function of which is to keep said second screw (25) parallel to said insert (18) and to improve the locking of the latter to said bracket (3).
- The support according to one or more of the preceding claims, characterized in that the second shank (27) of a pin (28) can be axially associated at said notch (21), said second shank (27) being adapted to splay the two wings (22a, 22b) until the teeth (23a, 23b) are arranged within the holes (24).
- The support according to one or more of the preceding claims, characterized in that, at the third lateral surfaces (35a, 35b) of said notch (21) provided at said insert (18), a pair of half-cylinders (36a, 36b) protrude, facing each other and molded in one piece with said insert (18), the function of which is to keep said second shank (27) of said pin (28) parallel to said insert (18) and to improve the locking of the latter to said bracket (3).
- The support according to one or more of the preceding claims, characterized in that said pin (28) is substantially T-shaped overall so as to define said second shank (27) and a square-shaped second head (29), said second shank (27) having a main body (30) with a circular cross-section, the ends (31a, 31b) of which have a smaller diameter than the central part (32), there being further, externally with respect to said main body (30) and at the lateral surface of said central part (32) which is not affected by said lateral wings (33a, 33b), an upper wing (34) with a substantially square cross-section which branches off at one end from said second head (29) and extends along said second shank (27) for part of its length, to a greater extent than that of said pair of lateral wings (33a, 33b).
- The support according to one or more of the preceding claims, characterized in that on said second shank (27) of said pin (28) there are, externally with respect to said main body (30) at the lateral surface of said central part (32) and according to mutually parallel directrices, a pair of lateral wings (33a, 33b), each of which has a substantially semicircular cross-section, each one of said lateral wings (33a, 33b) branching off at one end from said second head (29) and extending along said second shank (27) for part of its length.
- The support according to one or more of the preceding claims, characterized in that on said second shank (27) of said pin (28) there are, externally with respect to said main body (30) at the lateral surface of said central part (32) and according to mutually parallel directrices, a pair of flattened-out features that extend along said second shank (27) for part of its length.
