"MOUNTING AND MOVEMENT PRODUCT DEVICE UNDER TRACKS (DOORS, WINDOWS, BOX AND CORRELATES) WITH ASSOCIATED LEVEL AND REGULATION SYSTEM" [01] This application for a title of the title and the subject of this description and claim It is about an unprecedented device for fixing and moving sliding products, which in addition allows the adjustment and alignment of the suspension adjustment of doors, windows, shower stalls and related products, which are mounted on rails.

[02] It should be noted that this unprecedented device was conceived from a need explicit by professionals installing rail-mounted products, and the paradigm of gauging the aforementioned need lies in products such as doors, windows and bathroom stalls manufactured in glass. Still within this scope it should be noted that such a device may be applied to products that are not made of glass and may, for example, be used on sliding doors made of wood and metal (steel or aluminum).

[03] The application of this unprecedented device with regulation and leveling system allows greater reliability as to the proper functioning when the repetitive opening and closing action of doors, windows or shower stalls, thus contributing to the end user satisfaction.

[04] In addition, the constructivity of this unprecedented device converges to a better balance of the set of castors that make sliding doors and windows possible, and this condition converges to a less wear of castor components. , increasing its life cycle, which in turn gives a lower incidence of corrective maintenance intervention.

[05] It should also be noted that this device allows a differentiated condition to be obtained in the process of assembling products with opening and closing sliding on specific rails for this purpose, which converges for better productivity in installation procedures. .

[06] It is therefore concluded that the fastening and mounting device for sliding products with associated adjustment and leveling system is provided with innovation as well as inventive activity and industrial application, meeting the patentability requirements, in particular as invention patent, as Article 8 of Law 9,279 (Patent, Trademark and Related Rights Act) of 14 May 1996.

TECHNICAL BACKGROUNDS

[07] In order to provide veracity to the context set out in the introductory table, an explanation of the state of the art for fastening and displacement devices applied to rail slide products will be provided where it will be possible for one of ordinary skill in the art to recognize its limiting aspects. , to discuss at a later time the added advantages with the introduction of the unprecedented system of adjustment and leveling applied to the set of castors.

[08] For a better understanding of the state of the art observed in fastening and displacement devices (A) applied to sliding products (V) running on rail guides (Tl) the applicant makes use of the figurative representation through the figures 1, 2 and 3 attached to this cartouche, of the constructive concept that marks known solutions of this nature, where it is considered its installation in sliding products (V) made of glass, such as doors, windows and bathroom stalls for example.

Thus, its constructivity can be understood as being a device composed of: A conventional pulley (Al), with an internal structure receiving a also conventional bearing;

[011] - A pair of smaller washers (A3);

[012] - A front washer (A4);

[013] - A pair of contact joints made of polymeric or elastomeric material;

[014] - A rear washer (A6); and [015] - A support pivot (A7) in the form of a conventional screw.

[016] Critical analysis of the known solution: by making an assessment of the performance observed over time by the conventional clamping and displacement device (A) applied to sliding products (V) under rails (T), one can assess: [ 017] 1—) Deficient Functionality: Premature impairment of sliding product functionality is observed, especially as there is increasing difficulty in opening and closing operations of doors, windows, shower stalls and the like;

[018] 2-) Functional agent_____of_____problem: The impairment of the function of providing stable sliding movement of doors, windows, shower stalls and the like occurs as a function of premature wear of the conventional fixation and displacement device (A);

[019] 3-) Cause of functional nonconformity: such wear occurs mainly in the conventional pulley component (Al), which invariably exhibits wear leading to deformation of its circular shape, creating linear segments (s), which in turn eliminate the effect of its free sliding on the rail guides (Tl) (T). In view of this wear, the pulleys (Al) are now being dragged over said guides (T1) making the functionality of the sliding products (V) benefiting from this type of widely used device suffer; and [020] 4-) Undersizing ________ de______components: Considering that the clamping and displacement device (A) is normally installed at the upper two ends of sliding products (V), it is explicit that its specification with only one pulley component Conventional (Al) is undersized, as there is no solution in revealed constructivity to compensate for the wear of one or both conventional pulley components (Al).

[021] Critical analysis from the point of view of the known solution mountability: in addition to the deficient aspects pertinent to the constructive concept of the clamping devices (A), it is pertinent to measure the mountingability of the sliding products (V) that aggregate these devices. , where it is recognized: [022] 1—) Process for mounting the conventional clamping and displacement device: the sliding product (V) receives the mounting of the clamping and displacement device (A), which as a rule does not involve much difficulty ;

[023] 2-) Process of assembling sliding products under conventional rail: the study of the practice of installing sliding products (V) on rails (T) leads to a history of great difficulty, where this difficulty can be translated into the need inserting shims next to the clamping and displacing device (A) and rail plumbing adjustments (T) to achieve regulation and leveling required for the smooth running of the sliding products (V); and [024] 3 -) Causes of the deficient process of assembly of the sliding product under conventional rail: by studying the non-ergonomic conditions of mounting of the sliding products (V) it can be concluded that this occurs due to the absence of an adjustment system. and leveling it, which allows the installer to make adjustments in a balanced and minimal effort, where this existing non-ergonomic mounting condition leads to the compromise of the installer's productivity.

However, in light of the foregoing, it is clear that there is a latent need for the development of devices whose constructivity guarantees more stability and durability to the assembled product when in operation.

[026] In addition there is a need for a system of adjustment to be set, both for the position of the shifting pulley set and the leveling of the sliding rail product thus eliminating the negative aspects from the perspective of performance and mountability of such products. .

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[046] The following detailed description is to be read and interpreted with reference to the drawings presented, where they are highly diagrammatic, representing a preferred embodiment, not intended to limit the scope of the invention, but limited to that set forth in the claim table. .

[047] With reference to the illustrated drawings the present patent application refers to a "FIXED MOVEMENT AND MOVEMENT DEVICE ON TRACKS (DOORS, WINDOWS, BOX AND CORRELATES) WITH ASSEMBLY SYSTEM AND LEVEL", where Figures 1, 2 and 3 represent a conventional fixation and displacement device (A), whose critical analysis has been widely discussed in the fundamentals topic of the art.

[048] The unprecedented clamping and displacement device with associated adjustment and leveling system (B) is installed next to a sliding product (V), such as door, window, box and correlates, where these are notably made of glass, which In turn, it is mounted on a guide (T1) of a rail (T) as shown by FIGS. 4, 6 and 8 respectively.

[049] Already its constructivity, illustrated through figures 5; 7; 9; 10; 11 and 12 respectively are characterized by the following composition: [050] - A regulating plate (1), obtained from metallic (steel or aluminum) or polymeric material, the constructivity of which is shown in Figures 9, 19, 11 and 12. respectively can be understood as a vertical laminar plate, whose median region has defined a vertical oblong tear (la), where it has the function of receiving the leveling screw (3), which helps in obtaining the plumb product plumb (V ). Already at the lateral ends of this vertical laminar plate is defined a pair of smooth and countersunk holes (lb), whose function is to provide the attachment of a pair of pulleys (2), each positioned equidistantly.

In turn, in the median part of the upper end of the vertical laminar plate and in a position perpendicular to it, a quadratic shoulder (lc) is defined which has a smooth hole (ld) in the median surface, whose function lies receiving the plumb set screw (4);

[052] - A contact joint (6), with vertical oblong groove (6a), whose profile is identical to the profile plate profile (1), where its function is to guarantee a perfect assembly of this next to the sliding product (V ) authorized for the case where such a product is made of glass (such as tempered glass);

[053] - A pair of pulleys (2), which are installed next to the regulating plate (1), where a pair of screws (2a), through the pair of plain holes (lb) whose head fits, are used. next to the countersink of these holes defined in the back surface of the regulating plate (1), where the threaded body of each screw (2a) subsequently wears a pair of cylindrical spacers (2b) and a pulley (2) whose permanence in this constructive condition is threaded onto a retaining nut (2c).

[054] By defining at least one pair of pulleys (2) for the clamping and displacement device with associated adjustment and leveling system (B) an unprecedented condition of weight distribution of the sliding product (V) is achieved in a balanced manner, ensuring the functional longevity of the product;

[055] - A leveling screw (3), consisting of a horizontal quadratic head whose surface has in its middle part a threaded hole (3a) whose function is to receive the plumb adjustment screw (4), and in addition from this quadratic head a threaded body (3b) is born which is sequentially passed through the vertical oblong slot (1a); through the orifice (VI) of the sliding product (V); by the hole (5a) of the contact joint (5) and by a washer (3c), this constructive condition is guaranteed by the fixing of a threaded nut (3d) at the end of the threaded body (3b); and [056] - A plumb adjustment screw (4) which has its threaded body (4a) mounted next to the threaded hole (3a) of the quadratic head of the leveling screw (3), where it has the function of providing height (plumb) of the sliding product (V) through its ends.

[057] Having duly recognized the component parts of the unprecedented clamping and displacement device with associated adjustment and leveling system (B), their assembly with the sliding product (V) is duly illustrated by FIGS. 6; 8; 13 and 14 respectively, where clearly and objectively, the pair of pulleys (2) are fixed next to the pair of smooth and countersunk holes (1b) of the regulating plate (1) by means of screws (2a), where one The pair of cylindrical spacers (2b) allows the pulleys (2) to develop free rotational motion around the shaft formed by the bolt body (2a).

[058] Once the subassembly regulating plate (1) with a pair of pulleys (2) is assembled, it receives at its rear the contact joint (6) and then it is fixed next to the sliding product (V), where it stops. such that the leveling screw (3), especially its threaded body (3b) is positioned through the vertical oblong groove (1a) of the regulating plate (1) and is also through the hole (Vl) of the sliding product (V), where once on the opposite side of it also receives the contact joint (5) to then be fixed by the nut (3d).

[059] From this point on the assembly the associated adjustment and leveling system is defined, which is composed of the leveling screw (3) which has in its threaded hole (3a) the plumbing adjustment screw assembly (4) .

[060] It should be noted that for correct mounting of the sliding product (V) close to the rail (T) it must receive at least one pair of fastening and displacement devices with associated adjustment and leveling system (B), preferably one at each end of said product, the number of devices being specified essentially as a function of the length of the sliding product (V), such as doors, windows and bathroom stalls, for example.

[061] Therefore, the mounting condition of the sliding product (V) by the rail (T) has been established, whereby the professional installer proceeds to position the pulley assembly (2) on a travel guide (Tl). (see figures 4; 13 and 14), where with this embodiment embodied an installation condition is obtained as illustrated by figure 13, where it is explicit that there is an imbalance between the adjustment existing for each pair of devices and fixation and displacement, where from a constructive point of view the height-of-height device can be considered to have the adjustment and leveling system as illustrated by FIG. 15.

[062] The procedure for adjusting and leveling the sliding product (V), such as a door, for example is characterized by simplicity and practicality, and may even be performed by persons not skilled in installing this type of product. In order to obtain the ideal sliding product balancing condition (V), as illustrated in figure 14, it is sufficient for the individual to adjust the height by progressively threading the plumb adjustment screw (4) by means of a wrench (C). , near the threaded hole (3a) of the leveling screw head (3), as shown in Figure 16, where this kinematics converges to raise the end of the sliding product (V) to its proper alignment with the adjustment of the (s) ) other device (s) and consequently ensuring a perfect sliding of the pulley assembly (2) over the guide rails (Tl) of the rail (T), a condition which minimizes undue stress conferring gain in time. lifetime of said pulleys (2).

[063] From what has been described and illustrated, it is found that the clamping and displacement device with associated adjustment and leveling system (B) now claimed complies with the rules governing the invention patent under the Industrial Property Law, deserving therefore, and as a consequence, the respective privilege.
