Abstract

The gate rests at its pivot and requires one or more wheels which support its overhang while conforming to the variations in ground level, as it is manoeuvred, by various means enabling it to be deflected in its vertical plane and to be balanced. <IMAGE>

Description

L'invention relève de la Technique des Portes et Clôtures Antérieurement les portes pivotantes étaient soutenues par un poteau ancré au sol et pivotaient autour d'un axe vertical. Cette solution oblige d'avoir un sol bien préparé, le bas de la porte décrivant un cercle inscrit dans un plan horizontal. La présence du poteau ne permet pas une rotation sur 3600 autour du pivot.The invention relates to the technique of doors and fences Previously the pivoting doors were supported by a post anchored to the ground and pivoted about a vertical axis. This solution requires having a well prepared floor, the bottom of the door describing a circle inscribed in a horizontal plane. The presence of the post does not allow rotation over 360 0 around the pivot.

Mais l'inconvénient majeur apparait surtout lorsque l'ouverture at- teind de grandes dimensions.Le poids du ventaux, en porte a faux, neces- site alors un ancrage très importantdu poteau de soutien et, ou, des ti--rants de haubannage, ou des étais de contreforts (ce qui n'est pas toujours possible) et d'autres paerts leurs présences limitent le débattement de la porte. Quelques fois ont avait alors recours a un galet situé vers l'extrémité basse de la porte, qui la soutenait en roulant sur un rail. Cette solution avait l'inconvénient de nécessiter un rail inscrit dans un plan- horizontal rigoureuxet, dans le cas ou le terrain se tassait ou se modifiait, la présence du rail arrivait a ne plus remplir son rôle, voir à le contrarier.But the major drawback appears especially when the opening reaches large dimensions. The weight of the ventaux, cantilevered, requires a very important anchoring of the support post and, or, of the guy wires , or buttresses stays (which is not always possible) and other paerts their presence limit the movement of the door. A few times then had recourse to a roller located towards the low end of the door, which supported it while rolling on a rail. This solution had the disadvantage of requiring a rail inscribed in a rigorous horizontal plane and, in the case where the ground settled or changed, the presence of the rail managed to no longer fulfill its role, or even to thwart it.

Le but de l'invention est de palier les inconvénients ci-dessus, de ne nécessiter aucun poteau de soutien, ni de rail, de permettre de grandes longueurs de porte, sur des terrains non aménagés et éventuellement le déplacement de la porte en d'autres endroits.The object of the invention is to overcome the above drawbacks, to require no support post or rail, to allow long door lengths, on undeveloped land and possibly the movement of the door in other places.

La porte débat autour d'un pivot sur lequel elle prend support ou non.The door debates around a pivot on which it takes support or not.

Le porte à faux est soutenu vers l'autre extrémitée par une ou deux roues pouvant être motorisées ou chenillées.The overhang is supported towards the other end by one or two wheels which can be motorized or tracked.

Son équilibre vertical peut être assuré par le pivot, les roues ou les deux ensembles.Its vertical balance can be ensured by the pivot, the wheels or both.

Dans tous les cas la porte est libre dans son plan vertical.In all cases the door is free in its vertical plane.

Cette liberté dans son plan vertical permet alors, lorsque la porte manoeuvre, que les roues suivent le profil du terrain, ondulations ou dénivellements.This freedom in its vertical plane then allows, when the door maneuver, the wheels follow the profile of the ground, undulations or unevenness.

Le fait qu'aucun poteau ne doit supporter le porte à faux de la porte mais seulement sa verticalité, autorise alors des constructions de très grandes longueurs, le ou les roues pouvant supporter aisément le poids de la porte en plus du pivot.

The fact that no post should support the door overhang but only its verticality, then allows constructions of very long lengths, the wheel or wheels can easily support the weight of the door in addition to the pivot.
  • Figure 1 shows the principle of the door with the articulation on the pivot and the support wheel.
  • Figure 2 shows the joint on the pivot anchored to the ground.
  • Figure 3 shows the same joint placed on the ground.
  • Figure 4 shows the fixing of the door at the top of a cylindrical post serving as a pivot, and the two plates at the bottom; which maintain the verticality of the door and allow the vertical clearance.
  • Figure 5 shows the left view of Figure 4 and the section of the two plates.
  • Figure 6 shows the connection of the door to the pivot pae a cam-shaped foot in a bowl which lmi allows the movement of the door in its vertical plane.
  • Figure 7 shows the left view of Figure 6 showing the section of the two cheeks which hold the foot and the verticality of the door.
  • FIG. 8 represents the two wheels which support the door on each side of the pivot which is reduced to a simple vertical spindle ensuring the axis of rotation, and which after being raised allows the door to be moved to other places.
  • Figure 2 shows the conical pivot used when the verticality of the door can be ensured by the wheels.
  • Figures 10 and 12 show the attachment of the single wheel supporting the door overhang.
  • Figures 11 and 12 show the assembly of two oscillating wheels mounted in diabolo.
  • Figure 13 shows the support by two wheels on either side of the door and connected to the latter by a rigid support, this assembly can allow the use of the pivot of Figure 9
  • Figure 14 shows the support by two wheels as the previous figure but connected to the door by a pendulum articulated in its center.
  • FIG. 15 represents the possibility of crawling the wheels of FIGS. 13 and 14.

Dans le cas ou l'aplomb vertical de la porte peut etre maintenu uniquement par des roues (Fig 13) le pivot pourra etre réduit à sa plus grande simplicité (Fig9).In the case where the vertical plumb of the door can be maintained only by wheels (Fig 13) the pivot can be reduced to its greatest simplicity (Fig9).

Lorsque le pivot sera utilisé pour cela, la première solution consistera en un axe horizontal et transversal (Fig1), le pivot étant alors scellé au sol (Fig2) ou posé (Fig3). Une autre solution utilisera un poteau sur lequel la porte viendra prendre appui à la partie supérieure par une cuvette semi-sphérique (Fig4) et l'aplomb maintenu par deux plaques de butée de part et d'autre du poteau (Fig 4 et 5). Une troisième solution consistera en un coin reposant sur sa pointe arrondie (Fig6) maintenu de chaque cotes par des plaques rigides (Fig7).When the pivot is used for this, the first solution will consist of a horizontal and transverse axis (Fig1), the pivot then being sealed to the ground (Fig2) or placed (Fig3). Another solution will use a post on which the door will come to bear on the upper part by a semi-spherical bowl (Fig4) and the balance held by two stop plates on either side of the post (Fig 4 and 5) . A third solution will consist of a corner resting on its rounded tip (Fig6) held on each side by rigid plates (Fig7).

Pour permettre l'emploi de la porte en plusieurs endroits et la rendre facilement déplaçable la porte sera supportée par deux roues de part et d'autre du pivot, celui-ci étant réduit à une simple broche pouvant être relevée,.qui viendra s'enfoncer dans une bague (Fig8) enfoncée ou non dans le sol. Il suffira alors de relever la broche pour pouvoir dépla cer la porte.To allow the use of the door in several places and to make it easily movable, the door will be supported by two wheels on either side of the pivot, the latter being reduced to a simple pin which can be raised, which will come drive into a ring (Fig8) sunk or not into the ground. Then simply raise the spindle to move the door.

Suivant le poids de la porte, sa rigiditée ou l'état du sol, diverses suspension des roues seront employées. De la roue simple (Fig 10 et 12) utilisée dans les cas les plus simples, il pourra être préférable de doubler celle-ci soit par une suspension fixe (Fig13) soit par balancier en diabolo (Fig 11) soit par un balancier transversal (Fig14), les deux roues montées transversalement pourront être chenillées (Fig15), toutes Pourront être motorisées.Depending on the weight of the door, its stiffness or the condition of the floor, various wheel suspensions will be used. Of the simple wheel (Fig 10 and 12) used in the simplest cases, it may be preferable to dou bler it either by a fixed suspension (Fig13) or by diabolo balance (Fig 11) or by a transverse balance (Fig14), the two wheels mounted transversely can be tracked (Fig15), all Can be motorized.

Cette invention trouve son utilisation surtout dans les grandes longueurs et sur terrains non ou mal aménagés, Aéroports, Autoroute, Parking, Dépots, Agriculture, Travaux Publics.This invention finds its use especially in the great lengths and on undeveloped or badly arranged grounds, Airports, Highway, Parking, Depots, Agriculture, Public Works.
