Definitions

  • the present invention relates to watertight sliding doors and their suspension devices, such doors being used, in particular for enclosures in which a determined temperature and / or atmosphere must be maintained.
  • Document DE-A-2 616 495 describes a device for suspending a sliding waterproof door comprising a guide rail having a cross section in the general shape of C, fixed to a wall and delimiting two guide surfaces, one of which has notches with which at least the rolling or sliding elements carried by the door support means cooperate, and the other of which cooperates with other rolling or sliding elements carried by an arm connected to the door, this arm being disposed entirely inside the C-section rail and working in compression, the two rolling surfaces being located on the same level in the same plane.
  • the door support means essentially consists of a traction arm, a first end of which cooperates with a first guide member secured to the wall, by ratio in which it can move angularly and in translation and the other end of which supports the door itself in oscillating fashion.
  • the device also comprises a second guide rail fixed to the wall, the guide surface of which delimits at least one ramp or a notch with which at least one roller or rolling or sliding element cooperates carried by means of supporting the door.
  • the angle formed by the traction arm with the horizontal allows when the roller located on the second guide rail falls into a notch, to generate a force for applying the door on the frame equal to 1.4 to 1.7 times the weight of the door, which naturally favors obtaining a good seal.
  • This improvement consists in replacing the two guide rails by a C-shaped profile fixed against the wall, the edge of the lower wing of the C forming the surface of said second guide rail, and the upper part of the C delimiting a rolling surface. directed towards the inside of the profile and constituting said first guide rail.
  • the object of the present invention is to provide improvements to the above devices with a view to obtaining a more compact device, greater closing efficiency, and a better external appearance, while reducing its cost price.
  • the axis of oscillation of the or each compression arm is located above the rollers.
  • the or each compression arm comprises a first end articulated on a rod connected to the door whose longitudinal axis is oriented in a direction parallel to the axis of the guide rail, and a second end provided with a rod on which is fixed in rotation a roller cooperating with the guide surface having no notches.
  • the door is mounted on fittings connected in an oscillating manner to the compression arm and which support the or each rolling or sliding element cooperating with the first guide surface.
  • the compression arms are inclined to the horizontal by an angle less than 45 ° when the door is in the closed position.
  • Door P and its suspension devices are shown diagrammatically in FIGS. 1 and 2A, 2B.
  • the door P is suspended from a guide rail 1 by means of suspension devices S each comprising two rollers G, and Gz which also have the longitudinal movement of the door, by rolling on the guide rail.
  • suspension devices S each comprising two rollers G, and Gz which also have the longitudinal movement of the door, by rolling on the guide rail.
  • notches 2 In the guide rail are provided notches 2 into which the rollers G 1 fall when the door is in the closed position of FIG. 2A.
  • each suspension device S and its cooperation with the door P and the guide rail are shown in Figs. 3 to 5.
  • the door is shown in the open position in FIG. 3. It is shown in the closed position resting on its sealing beads B in FIG. 4.
  • the guide rail 1 is constituted by a C-shaped section lying down, open downwards, and kept applied to the wall M by a first wing 1a, by means of a fitting 4 and a wing 5a of a bracket 5, the assembly being tightened by a screw 6 which passes through them and is screwed into the wall M.
  • the guide rail 1 is also fixed by its upper core 1 to the upper wing 5b of the bracket 5 by means of a fixing means 7, so that the core 1 is flat and more or less horizontal .
  • the free end 1c of the wing 1a of the rail 1 is folded obliquely towards the inside of the C and forms an angle close to 45 ° with the horizontal so as to constitute a flat guide surface 8 internal to the profile C.
  • the guide surface 8 and the wing 1c also have, at two predetermined locations, the notches 2 which can be seen in FIG. 4.
  • the wing of C opposite the wall M comprises two parts 1 d and 1 e forming between them an obtuse angle.
  • the part 1d is adjacent to the core 1b.
  • Part 1e extends parallel to wing 1a and ends at its free end with a rim 1f directed towards the inside of the profile, this rim delimiting in the angle formed internally with the adjacent part 1e, a rolling surface.
  • 9 with a circular arc section located inside the guide rail 1 and thus constituting a second guide surface whose mean plane is approximately perpendicular to the guide surface 8.
  • the oblique wing 13a also supports a roller support device G z made up of two brackets 15 and 16, (Fig. 5) with perpendicular wings.
  • the wings 15a and 16a of these brackets are fixed to the wing 13a by means of clamping means 17 and 18.
  • the other wings 15b and 16b are held apart apart from one another by a spacer 19 and a rod 20, the longitudinal axes of the spacer 19 and of the rod 20 being arranged parallel to the longitudinal axis of the guide rail 1.
  • the core 21a On the rod 20 is articulated the core 21a has a compression arm 21 in the form yoke between the legs 21b and 21c from which pivots, on a rod 22 perpendicular to the rod 20, the roller Gz.
  • This roller G z rests on the rolling surface 9 and has a toric peripheral surface, which allows an angular displacement of the axis of the roller G z relative to the surface 9.
  • the rod 20 is located above the rollers Gi and G 2 , near the core 1b of C; the mean planes of the two rollers intersect in the vicinity of this rod and are inclined at about the same angle on the vertical.
  • the device When the door is in the translational position, that is to say in the partial or total open position, the device has the configuration shown in FIG. 3. During the translation of the door, the rollers G 1 , G 2 roll respectively along their guide path 8 and 9. When the door reaches the vicinity or in its closed position, the rollers G i fall into the notches 2 of wing 1a, which causes the door to move towards the floor and towards the wall. During this movement, the angle formed by the mean planes of the rollers G i and G 2 increases by a value a of approximately 15 ° to take the position shown in Fig.4 where it can be seen that the rollers G 2 have tilted around their fulcrum on the rolling surface 9.
  • the door In its lower part, the door is guided by rollers 30 of conical shape and vertical axis, the generatrix closest to the wall is inclined relative to the vertical of the angle, 8 above. In this way, the reaction exerted by the wall on the lower part of the door is absorbed by the lower guide rollers.
  • the compression arm 21 makes an angle ⁇ with the horizontal when the door is in the closed position and an angle ⁇ + ⁇ when the latter is in the open position.
  • the angle of inclination of the compression arm with the horizontal is therefore minimal when the door is in the closed position, and this situation is naturally favorable to greater efficiency of the closing force of the door. It will be noted that with the device of the invention as just described, it is always possible to obtain values of any 8 between 0 and 45 ° by increasing for example the distance between the two wings of the C and / or by raising the rim 1f of the same profile.
