Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a support structure for rotating shutters in accordance with the preamble of Claim 1, such as, for example, leaf shutters or shutters of the Vicenza or Padova type and the like.
  • shutters and the like which are applied to the structure of a building in order to cover/protect the openings of windows or doors.
  • leaf shutters are very common, these being supported by means of hinges such as to allow the shutter to rotate between an open position and a closed contact position where they perform the abovementioned function of covering/protecting the window or door openings.
  • Document FR-A-2 807 781 discloses a support structure for leaf shutters comprising a frame to which the leaf shutters are directly pivoted and actuating means integrated in the frame in order to act the leaf shutters from opening and closing configuration.
  • the rotation shafts of said actuating means being positioned between the hinging axis of the leaf shutters in order to avoid the need of pulling arms to act on the leaf shutters.
  • the technical problem underlying the present invention is to devise and provide a support structure for leaf shutters which has structural and functional characteristics such as to satisfy the abovementioned requirements, overcoming at the same time the drawbacks of the teaching mentioned above with reference to the prior art.
  • the support structure for leaf shutters With the support structure for leaf shutters according to the present invention, it is possible to perform installation of the shutters in a simple and precise manner, allowing at the same time automation of the opening/closing movement of the leaf shutters without having to provide complex and aesthetically unattractive hinged lever systems. Moreover, with this structure, it is possible to achieve much more efficient insulation during closure compared to conventional installations and, as will emerge more clearly from the remainder of the description, the more set-back position when closed ensures a lesser degree of exposure to adverse weather conditions.
  • 1 denotes overall a support structure for a leaf shutter 2.
  • the shutter 2 is of the twin-leaf type and comprises two leaves 3 which are supported so as to be able to rotate with respect to the structure of the building so as to pass from an open configuration into a closed contact configuration where the leaves 3 perform the function of covering/protecting the window or door openings.
  • the support structure 1 comprises two facing uprights 4 and 5 and an upper cross-member 6 for connecting together the abovementioned uprights. Together the cross-member 6 and the uprights 4 and 5 define a frame able to be fixed to the masonry structure of the building in the region of a window or door opening. More specifically, the support structure 1 is suitable for being inserted directly inside the abovementioned opening, so as to be substantially flush with the outer wall which bounds the opening.
  • the support structure 1 may also comprise a bottom cross-member 7 for connecting together the uprights 4 and 5, which helps increase the rigidity of the structure.
  • the support structure 1 has a quadrilateral configuration.
  • the presence of the bottom cross-member 6, although it allows an increase in the structural rigidity of the support structure, may be undesirable for some applications, for example in the case of French windows, since it may hinder access.
  • the uprights 4 and 5 and the upper cross-member 6 and bottom cross-member 7 may advantageously be made of aluminium or other material which can be easily extruded, as well as wood or plastic.
  • the support structure 1 comprises hinges 8 which are associated with the uprights 4 and 5 in order to allow the abovementioned rotation of the leaves 3 of the shutter 2.
  • the embodiment shown in the figures relates to a twin-leaf shutter such that both the upright 4 and the upright 5 have hinges 8 for allowing rotation of the respective shutter 2 supported by them.
  • the shutter has only one leaf, which may be divided into two or more parts, it is evident that only one of the two side uprights will be provided with respective hinges.
  • each leaf 3 of the shutter 2 is supported rotatably with respect to the respective upright 4 or 5 by means of two hinges 8, it also being possible to envisage a greater number of hinges, for example three or four hinges for leaves with greater dimensions and/or weight.
  • Each hinge 8 comprises a fixed part 8a fixed to the respective upright 4,5 and a movable part 8b which is associated with the fixed part 8a so as to be able to rotate about a hinging axis which is conventional per se.
  • the movable hinge part 8b is intended to be fixed to a respective leaf of a shutter so as to ensure the rotational supporting of the leaf with respect to the upright between a closed position in contact with the support structure 1 ( Figures 1 and 2 ) and an open position.
  • Figures 3 , 4 and 5 show a condition where one of the two leaves is in the partially open configuration.
  • the support structure 1 envisages locating means against which the leaves 3 of the shutter 2 come into contact, defining the abovementioned closed contact position.
  • the fixed hinge part 8a is fixed to the respective upright by means of a fixing bracket 14, while the movable hinge part 8b is in turn rigidly connected to a further fixing bracket 15 designed to allow fixing to the leaf 3.
  • the hinges 8 fixed to the same upright 4 or 5 are positioned aligned with each other so as to have their respective axes of rotation substantially aligned with each other along the same straight line X-X intersecting the upper cross-member 6.
  • the upper cross-member 6 defines a housing 9 for housing actuating means 12 suitable for rotationally actuating the leaves 3 of the shutter 2 between the closed position in contact with the support structure 1 ( Figure 1 ) and an open position.
  • the abovementioned actuating means 12 have a rotating shaft 13 which extends along the abovementioned straight line X-X in alignment with the axes of the hinges 8 and is able to cause rotation of the respective leaf 3.
  • the support structure 1 comprises two respective and separate actuating means 12 which are positioned at the opposite side ends of the upper cross-member 6, each having a respective rotating shaft 13 positioned and extending in the manner described above.
  • each rotating shaft 13 of the actuating means 12 projects from the respective opening 11 so as to be able to transmit the rotational movement to the respective leaf 3.
  • each leaf 3 of the shutter 2 has, fixed thereto, along the upper edge close to the respective upright 4,5, a bracket 20 - in the example L-shaped - which is designed to engage with the free end of the respective rotating shaft 13 in the form of a prismatic connection able to transfer the rotational movement of the rotating shaft 13 to the bracket 20 and, consequently, to the respective leaf 3.
  • the free end of the rotating shaft 13 terminates in a rectangular end lug, while the bracket 20 has an end fork able to engage with this end lug.
  • the abovementioned bracket 20 may have an end which is formed so as to be inserted inside the respective opening 11 of the casing 10 and be rotationally actuated there by the actuating means 12.
  • actuating means 12 in particular the electric motor incorporated in them, may advantageously be managed by an electronic module, the latter being controlled by means of control signals (electric signals of the type which can be transmitted via radio frequency, infrared or cable), and by end-of-travel sensors.
  • control signals electrical signals of the type which can be transmitted via radio frequency, infrared or cable
  • the control signals may, for example, be generated by a user who presses the keys forming part of a remote control or a control switch.
  • the uprights 4 and 5 have a box-like form, as do the upper cross-member 6 and the bottom cross-member 7 where present.
  • the connection between an upright and a cross-member at a corner may be performed, in a manner conventional per se, by means of reinforcing angle-pieces which engage with inner end portions of the abovementioned box-like structures.
  • the uprights 4 and 5 have a respective recess 16 in the inner wall in the vicinity of the top end, more precisely at a predefined distance from the upper cross-member 6.
  • This recess is such as to allow the built-in mounting of a portion of the actuating means 12 so as to obtain positioning of these motor means which is as close as possible to the outer side of the support structure, namely in the vicinity of the masonry structure.
  • the upper cross-member 6 also has a respective recess 21 (shown in Figure 5 ) which is formed in its bottom wall at the opposite ends.
  • This recess 21 allows built-in mounting of a portion of the actuating means 12 so as to obtain positioning of these motor means which is as high up as possible.
  • the support structure 1 comprises a perimetral flange 18 and a corresponding perimetral flange 19 projecting outwards along the outer and inner edges of the support structure 1, respectively.
  • the abovementioned perimetral flanges 18 and 19 are able to ensure that there is correct contact between the support structure 1 and the masonry structure portion of the building to which this structure is applied, acting as a barrier against the possible infiltration of water, rain and the like.
  • the perimetral flange 18 is able to project a few centimetres beyond the edge of the window or door opening inside which the support structure 1 is arranged.
  • the support structure 1 During use of the support structure 1, the latter is fixed, in a manner conventional per se, for example by means of plugs, to the masonry structure of the building, after it has been correctly positioned inside the opening, for example of a window.
  • the structure 1 therefore ensures correct positioning of the leaves 3 and the correct closure of the window opening when both the leaves 3 are in the closed contact configuration ( Figures 1 and 2 ). Moreover the presence of the support structure 1 ensures that the two opposite leaves 3 of the shutter 2 overlap with each other in the closed condition in the correct manner.
  • the actuating means 12 In the case where it is required to automate operation of the shutter 2, it is sufficient to add the actuating means 12, if necessary also at a later date after initial installation of the support structure. To do so, it is sufficient to house the actuating means 12 in the housing 11 provided in the upper cross-member, ensuring that the end lugs of the rotating shafts 13 project from the respective openings in the casing 10. Then the bracket 20 need merely be mounted on each leaf 3 of the shutter, ensuring that the end fork of each bracket engages with the end lug of the respective rotating shaft.
  • Figure 8 shows a support structure 1 according to the invention designed to support a rotating shutter 2 of the so-called Vicenza type.
  • Figure 8 shows a situation where the casing 10 of the upper cross-member 8 has been removed and the Vicenza type leaf 3, composed of two half-leaves 3a and 3b hinged together, is in a partly open position.
  • the half-leaf 3b not directly hinged with the upright 4, is guided along an upper track supported by the upper cross-member 6 in a manner conventional per se.
  • the structural and functional features of the support structure 1, in particular with reference to positioning of the hinging axes with respect to the upper cross-member, are such that it is possible to perform automation of the leaf shutters without having to provide hinged lever systems since, as described above, the bracket rigidly fixed to each leaf 3 is directly actuated by a rotating shaft of the actuating means.
  • the support structure for leaf shutters according to the invention it is possible to fulfil the abovementioned requirements, without encountering the problems associated with the difficulty of positioning the hinges with respect to the masonry structure or the presence of the hinged lever systems.
