Definitions

  • ABSTRACT A door with electro-mechanical operating means has a height substantially equal to half the height of the opening to be closed.
  • Two elbowed guide rails are situated on either side of the opening and made fast with the door frame, and two pairs of guide devices are provided on either side and quite close to the lower and upper extremities of the lower panel.
  • a winding device constituted by a winding drum is driven by a motor and reduction gearing or a hydraulic or pneumatic element, and a strap or linkage connects the lower extremity of the lower panel, on each side of the opening, to the winding element.
  • a device for couples the two panels of the door, and the operating means are controlled by a tumbler change-over switch.
  • the present invention concerns the closure of openings by panels, and has more especially for its object the provision of a garage door closed by two-horizontal panels which on opening. retract to behind the lintel, and electro-mechanical'means for guidanceand operation.
  • the presentinvention-hasthe purpose ofi'remedying. These'd rawbacks by proposingia mannerof realisation of closures andzprincipally of garage doorsorworkshop main doors which can have 'quite a great height or width, which is simple in conception but" robust and above allsilent'in operation, the operation'being'manual or automatic, while'the'door during operationd'oes not protrude fromthe external facade' of thebuilding,
  • the door with the operating means according to the present invention is noteworthy in that itis simple in construction, and easy to realiseata relatively moderate cost.
  • This invention 1 should ensure the popularisa tion of the electro-mechanically operated garage door.
  • the door is constitutedby two horizontal panelstogether having the dimensions of theopenin'g; that is to say each panel being of approximately half the height of the opening, theipanelsbeingplaced'oneabove'the other in the same plane.
  • FURTHER DESCRIPTIONAND ADVANTAGESOF' THE INVENTION nected by two grooved-roller fittings.
  • a coupling device is provided on the upper panel, and as soon as the lower panel arrives at this level it entrains the former so as to retract to behind the lintel together, beneath the ceiling, in a horizontal position.
  • a clutch is also provided which permits of operating the door manually in the case of absence of electric current, this being effected through a chain wheel mounted on the winding drum', audit is sufficient toplace a smallchain over this wheel and pull so that the drum rotates and winds up' the straps;
  • the mechanical drive is provided only for the cases of absence or breakdown of current, but either of the drive means, electric or mechanical, canbe utilised at any moment by simple engagement or disengagementof the stepped-down motor or lever provided on the windingdrum.
  • the manual operation of the door can also be effected by a torsion spring incorporated in the winding drum, in replacement of the reduction gearing provided for the electric drive.
  • winding drum with incorporated motor can of course equally be replaced'by a'hydraulic or pneumatic element which simultaneously actuates two strapwinding pulleys.
  • FIG: I is a lateral elevational view of theguide apparatus and of the motor element with partial section of the door panels, in different positions b. at' the moment of coupling,
  • FIG. 2 1s a front elevationalview from the interior of the garage
  • FIG. 3' is a cross-sectional view, on a larger scale, through A A in FIG. 2.
  • FIGS. land 2 The example of embodiment of an electrically operated garage door as represented in FIGS. land 2 is composed of two panels 1 and 2 of substantially the same size, namely about half the height of the Opening to be closed.
  • a door frame 5 and 5' On each side of the opening a door frame 5 and 5', which supports the door assembly, is'the only element which hasto be fixed to the building.
  • the elbowed guide rails 4 and 4' are welded to the door frame.
  • the pivoting fittings with two grooved rollers 3 and 3, which slide along the elbowed rails 4-and 4' are fixed by their support plates on each lateral side of the panel 1 and preferably quite close to the lower'andupper extremities. This guidance could equally berealised by rollers mounted on spindles and'slidingalong a profiled rail, rollway or slideway which is elbowed as shown in FIG. 1.
  • the motor mechanism 7 is comprised by a known winding drum in which there are housed the planetary reduction gearing, the motor, the capacitor, the drive disc with clutch and the limit regulation contactor cage. This apparatus is controlled by a tumbler changeover switch.
  • the assembly is mounted by a support 6 for the fixed end piece of the winding drum and a swivel support 6' on the door frame 5.
  • a strap 8 of material appropriate to the weight of the door is fixed to the lower part of the lower panel 9 and associated at the other end with the winding element 16, 16'.
  • the coupling device represented by the points 10 and 10 is associated during operation with the supports 11 and 11' at the same time as the tenons 12, 12' couple with the supports 13, 13'.
  • a stop 14 is provided for each guide end.
  • Parallelism between the guide rails is realised by a preferably tubular strut 15 on which there are also fixed the stiffeners which bear with their other ends on the door frame.
  • Locking is effected by an electromagnet fixed at the appropriate point, preferably to the upper part of the lower panel so as to lock the two panels at the same time.
  • the upper panel rests on four stops specially provided on the door frame so as to form a clearance between the two panels which is necessary for good operation, which clearance is concealed from the exterior by a decorative strip 19.
  • Opening of the door is effected by winding of the straps onto the winder, closure is effected by rotation of the winder in the opposite direction, permitting the panels to return to their initial position.
  • a sectional door comprising a pair of panels each having a height substantially equal to half the height of the opening to be closed, two elbowed guide rails disposed one on either side of the opening, two pairs of guide devices disposed on either side of and adjacent the upper and lower extremities of the lower panel and engaging said guide rails, drive means for raising and lower said panels comprising a winding drum and flexible means interconnecting the winding drum and the lower portion of the lower panel, and means connecting the two panels when the lower panel is raised so that the lower panel raises and lowers the upper panel, the elbows on the guide rails being so located that when the lower panel is in the upper portion of the doorway, the lower panel moves behind the upper panel, but when the lower panel moves downwardly into the lower portion of the doorway, the lower panel moves forwardly beneath the upper panel.
  • a door as claimed in claim 1 the upper panel being supported by and free to move with the lower panel when the lower panel is in the upper portion of the doorway.
  • a door as claimed in claim 1 said guide rails having elbows therein vertically spaced apart a distance equal to the distance between said guide devices so that the lower panel moves into and out of the upper portion of the doorway in parallelism to the position of the lower panel when the door is closed.
  • a door as claimed in claim 1 said guide rails having a substantially horizontal upper portion which supports both of said panels in the open position of the door.
