Definitions
- the present invention relates to an antipanic break-out and thermal break sliding door.
- Antipanic break-out sliding doors are well-known in the field.
- Thermal break frames are known in the field of hinge-opening doors and windows, however, they do not have the structural capacity required to withstand the antipanic breakout, as they simply couple two profiles, one intended to face the warm side of the frame and one the cold side, by the interposition of snap-fit thermal break elements. However, they are not made of metal, due to obvious conductivity reasons, but of polymeric material.
- the general object of the present invention is to overcome all or some of the drawbacks of the prior art.
- a preferred object of the present invention is to provide an antipanic break-out sliding door which also has high thermal insulation between the two rooms it separates.
- a further preferred object is to provide an antipanic break-out and thermal break sliding door with enough structural strength as to maintain its functional integrity in the event of a breakout, as well as in the ordinary dynamic sliding use.
- the present invention relates to an antipanic break-out and thermal break sliding door comprising
- a thermal break and a high structural strength are thereby advantageously present at the same time.
- the two structure portions (12a, 12b) are also rigidly joined to each other in the following manner:
- the joint (28) comprises two complementary C-portions (50, 52) which can be engaged and disengaged by rotating the wing (10), where the lower C-portion (52) rigidly joins said structure portions (12a, 12b).

- said hinge part comprises a horizontal section (71) of an L-junction element (70), where the vertical section (72) of said element acts as a rotating pin or pin seat of the hinge (30a).
- the vertical section (72) and the flange (79) are both part of a same rotation hinge (30a) of the wing (10).
- the structure link is thereby particularly strong, allowing both the sliding and rotational movement of the wing, preserving it from deformation by breakout stresses and not interfering with the thermal break between the structure portions of the frame.
- the vertical section (72) and the flange (79) comprise a pin and a respective seat thereof belonging to said rotation hinge (30a).
- said hinge comprises two parts movable with respect to each other in a scissors-like manner, where one part is said part housed in the C-upper portion (50) and the other part is housed in the lower C-portion (52).
- the wing (10) comprises at least one shielding element (58) separating the joint (28) from one of the two rooms divided by the wing, where the shielding element (58) is spaced from the joint (28) by the interposition of at least a portion of thermally insulating material (64).

- a sliding door generally means a door comprising a user passageway and at least one wing sliding between a closed and an open configuration of the passageway to define a separation between two rooms 3 and 4.
- the two rooms communicate with each other through the passageway in the open configuration, and are separated in the closed configuration.
- the wing slides along a line separating the two rooms.
- such door is an "antipanic break-out" door, as the at least one wing not only slides but is also able to be opened by being pushed towards at least one of the two rooms.
- such door is a "thermal break" door in that in the closed configuration it provides high thermal insulation between the two rooms, e.g. a predetermined minimum insulation.

- the door comprises an outer frame 5, intended to act as a frame for a room in a wall of a building, where wall is a general definition including for example outer or inner masonry walls, shop windows, fagades.
- the door also includes one or more wings 10 sliding with respect thereto, in the illustrated example two of them are shown opening and closing as opposing to each other.
- one or more wings 11 can be provided which do not slide in relation to the frame 5 and are therefore called infill wings.
- the sequences in figures 1 and 2 basically show the movements of the wings in relation to the frame which allow to achieve the possible configurations.

Abstract
Description
- The present invention relates to an antipanic break-out and thermal break sliding door.
- Antipanic break-out sliding doors are well-known in the field.
- In order to obtain this feature, they possess two movements of the wings, a sliding one, usually automated, to be normally opened and closed, and a rotating one, to be extraordinarily opened by pushing in case of emergency.
- However, they are not in general thermally efficient, i.e. they do not provide a high thermal insulation between the two rooms they separate. The reason is functional/structural, in fact it is very complex to combine insulation with the need for robustness required to withstand the weight of the sliding doors in both types of movement and their stresses, which could lead to serious deformations.
- Thermal break frames are known in the field of hinge-opening doors and windows, however, they do not have the structural capacity required to withstand the antipanic breakout, as they simply couple two profiles, one intended to face the warm side of the frame and one the cold side, by the interposition of snap-fit thermal break elements. However, they are not made of metal, due to obvious conductivity reasons, but of polymeric material.
- The general object of the present invention is to overcome all or some of the drawbacks of the prior art.
- A preferred object of the present invention is to provide an antipanic break-out sliding door which also has high thermal insulation between the two rooms it separates.
- A further preferred object is to provide an antipanic break-out and thermal break sliding door with enough structural strength as to maintain its functional integrity in the event of a breakout, as well as in the ordinary dynamic sliding use.
- The present invention, according to a first general aspect thereof, relates to an antipanic break-out and thermal break sliding door comprising
- at least an outer frame (5);
- at least one carriage (24) sliding with respect to the outer frame (5);
- at least one wing (10) sliding and rotatable with respect to the outer frame (5) hanging from at least one carriage (24);
- the wing being hanging from at least one carriage (24) by means of at least one joint (28) which allows rotating the wing with respect to the carriage (thus achieving the antipanic break-out function);
characterized in that the wing (10) comprises astructure frame 12 subdivided into at least two parallel structure portions (12a, 12b), arranged to hold a panel (14) therebetween, preferably thermally insulating, such as a double glazing, a glass pane, an opaque panel or the like, where said structure portions (12a, 12b) face each other and are separated by a thermal break zone comprising at least one portion of thermally insulating material (60, 65), where the two structure portions (12a, 12b) are rigidly joined to each other at least in the following manner:- along the upper section of the wing (10) the joint (28) is above both structure portions (12a and 12b) and rigidly joins them together; the joint (28) rests on said structure portions (12a,12b) with the interposition of at least one layer of thermally insulating material (62), which is crossed at one or more predetermined points by respective fastening elements (13).
- A thermal break and a high structural strength are thereby advantageously present at the same time.
- According to some preferred embodiments increasing the above-mentioned advantage, the two structure portions (12a, 12b) are also rigidly joined to each other in the following manner:
- along a side section of the wing (10) at least one flange element (79) is present which supports the two structure portions (12a, 12b) with the interposition of at least one layer of thermally insulating material (80) and to which they are rigidly fastened at one or more predetermined points by respective fastening elements (13) (for example by means of screws; said flange being part of a rotation hinge (30a) of the wing (10) with respect to the carriage (24).
- Preferably, the joint (28) comprises two complementary C-portions (50, 52) which can be engaged and disengaged by rotating the wing (10), where the lower C-portion (52) rigidly joins said structure portions (12a, 12b).
- In such a case, preferably the upper C-portion (50) is rigidly fixed to the carriage and comprises a housing seat (68) of a part (71) of a rotation hinge (30a) of the wing with respect to the carriage (24).
- Preferably said hinge part comprises a horizontal section (71) of an L-junction element (70), where the vertical section (72) of said element acts as a rotating pin or pin seat of the hinge (30a).
- More preferably, the vertical section (72) and the flange (79) are both part of a same rotation hinge (30a) of the wing (10). The structure link is thereby particularly strong, allowing both the sliding and rotational movement of the wing, preserving it from deformation by breakout stresses and not interfering with the thermal break between the structure portions of the frame.
- For example, the vertical section (72) and the flange (79) comprise a pin and a respective seat thereof belonging to said rotation hinge (30a).
- According to a variant provided, said hinge comprises two parts movable with respect to each other in a scissors-like manner, where one part is said part housed in the C-upper portion (50) and the other part is housed in the lower C-portion (52).
- According to some preferred embodiments, the wing (10) comprises at least one shielding element (58) separating the joint (28) from one of the two rooms divided by the wing, where the shielding element (58) is spaced from the joint (28) by the interposition of at least a portion of thermally insulating material (64).
- In such a case, preferably the joint (28) opens on one of its sides by rotation and said screening element (28) faces the opposite side.
- Preferably, the shielding element (58) is also spaced from the joint (28) by the interposition of a thermally insulating chamber, such as an air chamber or containing a thermally insulating material, such as polyurethane foam.
- According to some preferred embodiments, said thermal break zone also comprises a thermally insulating chamber, e.g. an air chamber or a chamber containing a thermally insulating material, e.g. polyurethane foam.
- According to some preferred embodiments, at least one portion of thermally insulating material (60, 65) is engaged to the two structure portions (12a, 12b) to elastically join them to each other.
- Further characteristics and advantages of the present invention will become clearer from the following detailed description of the preferred embodiments thereof, with reference to the appended drawings and provided by way of indicative and non-limiting example. In such drawings:
- the sequence of
figures 1a to 1d shows an antipanic break-out sliding door according to the present invention in a closed configuration, in an open sliding configuration, in a broken configuration from a closed configuration and in a broken configuration from an open configuration respectively; the views are frontal; - the sequence of
figures 2a to 2d corresponds to the previous ones in an elevation view; -
figure 3 schematically shows an exploded view of a door according to the previous figures, where only one sliding wing is shown for ease of simplicity; -
figure 4 shows a section according to the vertical plane IV of the upper area of the door of the previous figures; -
figure 5 shows a section according to the horizontal plane V of a side zone of the door of the previous figures; -
figure 6 shows a variant in which the rotation junction is scissors-like instead of L-shaped. - For the purposes of the present invention, a sliding door generally means a door comprising a user passageway and at least one wing sliding between a closed and an open configuration of the passageway to define a separation between two
rooms - Generally, such door is an "antipanic break-out" door, as the at least one wing not only slides but is also able to be opened by being pushed towards at least one of the two rooms.
- Still generally, such door is a "thermal break" door in that in the closed configuration it provides high thermal insulation between the two rooms, e.g. a predetermined minimum insulation.
- With reference to
figures 1 and2 , an antipanic break-out and thermal break sliding door according to the present invention is shown, indicated as a whole byreference number 1. - The door comprises an
outer frame 5, intended to act as a frame for a room in a wall of a building, where wall is a general definition including for example outer or inner masonry walls, shop windows, fagades. The door also includes one ormore wings 10 sliding with respect thereto, in the illustrated example two of them are shown opening and closing as opposing to each other. In addition to thesliding wings 10, one ormore wings 11 can be provided which do not slide in relation to theframe 5 and are therefore called infill wings. - The sequences in
figures 1 and2 basically show the movements of the wings in relation to the frame which allow to achieve the possible configurations. Said movements are, in particular, the sliding movements of thewings 10 indicated by the arrows S, and the rotation movements indicated by the arrows W, which are typical of both thesliding wings 10 and preferably also of theinfill wings 11. - It must be cleared that the door according to the present invention comprises the breaking rotation W of at least the
sliding wings 10, which may also be the only existing ones. If theinfill wings 11 are present, they are called semi-fixed panels in case they also have a break-out rotation, otherwise, in case they do not even have such rotation and are therefore totally fixed, they are called fixed wings. - As will be better seen in the exploded view of
figure 3 , the movements of at least thesliding wings 10 are made possible respectively by a slidingsystem 20 arranged in the upper part of the door and by at least a plurality ofantipanic rotation hinges - The
sliding system 20 is generally arranged to allow the slidingwing 10 to slide in a horizontal direction relative to theouter frame 5. - Each
hinge sliding wing 10, whereby the axis is sliding integral with the wing with respect to theouter frame 5. - Each sliding
wing 10 comprises astructure frame 12 and at least one thermally insulatingpanel 14, for example a double glazing or glass pane or the like, supported by thestructure frame 12. - The
structure frame 12 of thewing 10 is generally divided into twoparallel structure portions rooms material insulating chamber material structure portions portions structure portions - The two
structure portions - With reference to
figure 4 , thesliding system 20 and the section of the upper part of thesliding wing 10 can be seen in detail. - The sliding
system 20 comprises alinear guide 22 belonging to theouter frame 5, in relation to which acarriage 24 slides, preferably driven by amotor 26. - The
carriage 24 supports the slidingwing 10 hanging below it by means of an antipanic break-out joint 28 that can be dismounted to allow break-out rotation about the axis X. - The joint comprises a first C-
portion 50, known as "fixed", integral with thecarriage 24 and a second C-portion 52, known as "mobile", complementary to the first one and integral with the wing. The two portions engage and disengage from each other by means of rotation W. Their orientation is such that when they are engaged, theportion 50 that is integral with the carriage holds against gravity theportion 52 that is integral with the wing, and thus supports the weight of the latter. It is possible to provide a device preventing accidental release 59 (figure 3 ), for example a pusher which provides a preload to be overcome for release, for example the pusher is integral with one of the two C-portions - The two C-portions preferably comprise two C-section profile elements, for example bars, parallel to each other and preferably extending substantially along the entire length of the upper section of the
frame 12 of thewing 10. - The joint 28 should preferably be centred in relation to the centre of gravity of the
wing 10. - The movable C-
portion 52 is above bothstructure portions frame 12 and rigidly joins them together. The movable C-portion 52 rests on thestructure portions material 62, preferably crossed at one or more predetermined points by fastening elements, for example screws 13. - In the example shown, the two
structure portions structure profile element wing 10. - In general, the two
structure portions material 60, for example in the form of two profile elements, arranged to enclose anair chamber 61 between them and between thestructure portions 12a and 12b. Said two thermally insulated portions are preferably engaged to respective seats of thestructure portions - The C-
portion 50 that is integral with the carriage is separated from one of the tworooms element 58 from which it is spaced by the interposition of at least one portion of thermally insulatingmaterial 64. Preferably, anempty chamber 66 is preferably present between the shieldingelement 58 and the C-portion 50. - In general, it is preferable that the shielding
element 58 extends vertically to shield from one of the tworooms material 64. In such case, thescreening element 58 is preferably placed on the side of the joint opposite the one containing the separation path of the two C-portions - The
upper part 68 of the C-shapedportion 50 connected to the carriage preferably comprises a hollow section wherein thehorizontal section 71 of an L-shaped rotation joint 70, which also acts as a reinforcing element, is housed, thevertical section 72 of which serves as a pin for the rotation W of thewing 10. - As visible in
figure 5 , thepin 72 is rotatably coupled in acorresponding seat 74 integral with the wing. Thehinge 30a comprises saidpin 72 and saidseat 74. - A side section of the wing frame comprises two
parallel structure elements glazing 14 between them. They do not touch each other directly but are separated by at least a portion of thermally insulating material 75. - The two
structure elements flange structure element 79, which supports them with the interposition of at least one layer of thermally insulatingmaterial 80 and to which they are joined, for example, by means of screws. Twoelements 79 are shown in the figure, but it is not excluded that it is a single piece extending along the whole side of the wing corresponding to the break-outhinges - In general, the two
structure portions material 65, for example in the form of two profile elements, arranged to enclose anair chamber 69 between them and between thestructure portions - Said two thermally insulating
portions 65 are preferably engaged into respective seats of thestructure portions - The
flange structure element 79 preferably also houses theseat 74 of thepin 72, and still more preferably extends substantially over the entire height of one side of thewing 10 on which thehinges - The
structure flange element 79, as visible infigure 5 , can only be in contact with one of the tworooms wing 11 and by the respective gaskets between the fixedwing 11 and the slidingwing 10, and is therefore obviously thermally insulated. - Referring to
Figure 3 , thehinge 30b preferably comprises apin 85 sliding by means of a slidingblock 89 in aguide 88 of theouter frame 5 placed on the floor. For example, thepin 85 is housed in aseat 74b integral with the wing, obtained for example in a flange 79b or in theflange 79 itself if it is extended to thehinge 30b. - According to preferred examples, the two
structure portions wing frame 10, the C-portions portion 58 and theflange 79, are made of metal material, for example aluminium alloy and/or steel, being for example made of profiled bars, while the thermally insulating material is in general a polymeric material, more insulating than metal, being for example polyamide. - In use, the two
rooms wing 10 due to the thermal separation between the twostructure elements frame 12 and the separation between the C-joint 28 and itsshielding element 58. - With reference to
figure 6 a variant of a sliding door is shown where elements identical to the previous variant are referred to with the same reference numbers. The door offigure 6 differs from that of the preceding figures at least in that thejunction element 70 instead of being L-shaped comprises two scissors-like articulatedelements 71apin 72 between them, and is indicated herein bynumber 70b. The articulatedelements respective housing seats 68a, 68b of the C-portions - In understanding the object of the present invention, the term "comprising" and its derivatives, as used herein, are intended as open-ended terms that specify the presence of declared characteristics, elements, components, groups, integers and/or steps, but do not exclude the presence of other undeclared characteristics, elements, components, groups, integers and/or steps.
