Definitions

  • One endwise panel is hinged to the jarnb member of the door or window and the opposite endwise panel engages in a resilient manner, in the closed position of the door or window, with a resilient member provided on the opposite jamb of the door or window or on the lintel, in such a manner as to resiliently or yieldabiy lock the panels of the door or window in the closed position thereof, allowing at the same time an easy opening there of.
  • the hinge means of the panel members are provided with a fork-like hinging member, which has convex shaped surface portions adapted to mate intimately with complemental concave shaped surface portions provided in the seats where the fork members is received.
  • the present invention relates to shutting structures or partitions consisting of a number of articulated vertical section or panels, particularly adapted for use as doors or windows for openings in general.
  • shutting structures which take up in the opening and closing movements thereof the smallest possible space, and which utilize the available floor area in the most rational manner.
  • shutting structure consistin of a number of articulated sections of particular efficiency and assembled in such a manner as to allow the overall dimensions thereof to involve the smallest possible floor area necessary for a swing of the hinged shutting structure.
  • shutting structure consisting of articulated multiple vertical sections, which is characterized in that said sections articulated connections providing vertical articulations thereof which are arranged in an offset position, so that, when the sections are arranged in closing position their mutual axis of articulation lies outside the plane passing through the axis of articulation of the shutting structure to the stationary part of the frame and the mean contact point of the shutting structure against the closing rabbet of the stationary frame thereby to obtain a snap type closing pressure of the shutting frame.
  • the successive articulated sections are suitably arranged parallel each other in a preferably partially overlapped position and with the corresponding axis of articulation lying in the mean plane of that vertical section which is subsequent to the preceding vertical section, in the direction from the axis of articulation of the shutting structure on the stationary frame towards the opposite side of said stationary frame against which the shutting structure is closed.
  • the end section designed to accomplish the closing against the rabbet of or the corresponding jamb of the stationary frame is provided slidably guided at least in a point near one horizontal end thereof along the horizontal side or sides delimiting the frame, whilst essentially resilient mutually engaging means are provided between said vertical end section and closing rabbet.
  • FIG. I shows the shutting structure in front elevation
  • FIG. 2 shows a lateral view of said shutting structure partially in setion
  • FIG. 3 shows, in an enlarged scale, a perspective view of the details regarding the articulation between the panels with a number of hinges represented in exploded view;
  • FIGS. 4 and 5 show a horizontal cross-section of the same shutting structure with the parts in closing and opening positions, respectively, and FIG. 4a is a modification of the stop member for the shutting structure.
  • Said jambs 2-2a have each a rabbet 3-3a respectively.
  • the shutting structure is formed of two sections or panels 4 and 5, arranged parallel to one another in a partially overlapped manner, and are connected hingedly together adapted to revolve around a vertical axis 6 lying in the plane of section 5.
  • the end portion of the section 5 may be received in the recess provided by the rabbet 3a.
  • the said section is provided with a pin 8 slidably engaged in the guide provided in the lintel (see FIGS. 12) whilst on the vertical edge of the section 5 resilient means in the form of a pad 1! of elastic rubber are provided.
  • the section 5 is provided at its upper end portion with a L-iron stop member 5' which, when the door is in its closed position, engages a resilient member 10' indicated with dotted lines projecting downward from the lintel.
  • Said resilient member 10 is utilized as a substitute for the resilient pad 10 with the purpose to allow assembling of the shutting structure to be carried out Referring now to FIG.
  • the articulated connection between the sections 4- and 5 is constituted of a pluarlity of seats 11, obtained preferably by drilling bores into the edge of the panel bores, having a diameter greater than the thickness ofthe panel.
  • seats 11 there are arranged corresponding fork members 12 provided with anchoring pin-like means 13 which are driven into the holes 14 provided in the bottoms of the seats 11.
  • the fork members 12 have tine portions with convex outside surfaces and the seats 11 have opposite concave surfaces complemental with the convex surfaces of the fork member and adapted to intimately mate therewith.
  • the fork 12 is adapted to receive, slidable between the tines thereof, an articulation piece or member 17, provided with central bore 18, coaxial, in the assembled position of the hinge assembly, with the through-holes 16 provided in the tines of the fork 12.
  • the holes 16 and 18 are adapted to receive a pivot pin allowing relative rotation of the articulation member 17 with respect to the fork 12.
  • the articulation member 17 is fixed on the contiguous panel 4 through a screw 19 (FIGS. 4 and 5) provided with a boss-like head 20.
  • connection of the section 4 to the jamb 2 is provided by a hinge of a type similar to that described above and shown in the drawing in relation to the axis 6. From the illustrated structure it may be observed that the axis 6 lies outside the plane P passing through the axis 7 and the mean contact point of the section 5 with the rabbet 3a. In this manner, owing also to the resilient pads 10 (or 10 according to the construction modification illustrated formerly) a static moment is provoked'by the reaction forces, which has the tendency to rotate the panel 5 in counter-clockwise direction when viewing FIG. 4 and thereby a snap type locking action of the shutting screen is obtained.
  • the axis of articulation 6 When passing from the open to the closed door position, the axis of articulation 6 passes from one position to the other along the aforesaid plane P and in its closed door end position causes a reaction to the closing action, section 5, also by virtue of its upper sliding connection 8, be pressed against the resilient means 10 or 10' of the rabbet 3a thus accomplishing the snap closing.
  • the cross dimension of the section 5 may be increased to the effect that it may project beyond the sliding point 8 a distance even larger than the distance between the sliding point 8 and the axis of articulation 6 i.e. the pin 8 may be arranged nearer to the axis 6.
  • a shutter structure according to claim 1, wherein the jamb member on which the hinge means are secured has a vertical surface perpendicular to said wall opening and a step like recess provided in said surface, and wherein said hinge means are secured at said recess in an intermediate point thereof.
  • tine portions and said articulation member have each mutually coaxial through-holes and a pin member slidably inserted into said through-holes.
