Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a roller door, roller shutter, or the like, comprising various slats extending parallel to each other and supporting members attached to the ends of said slats for supporting and guiding slats on rails so that the slats can be displaced along said rails for opening and closing said roller door, roller shutter, or the like, whereby said supporting members are mutually coupled by means of a strap extending parallel to the longitudinal direction of said rails and being flexible so that by bending said strap the slats can be pivoted with respect to each other about axes extending parallel to the longitudinal direction of said slats.
  • each slat is formed by an extruded tubular profile, having at one side a longitudinal groove for accommodating a longitudinal protruding rib of an adjacent slat, and at its other side a corresponding protruding rib.
  • the grooves and ribs have been provided for interconnecting the heavy slats and the supporting members are only provided as an auxiliary means for interconnecting the slats.
  • the object of the invention is to obtain a light and simple structure of a roller door or the like.
  • each slat has a generally U-shaped cross-section and comprises a web and two planar legs joined by said web and extending perpendicular to said web, the supporting members being inserted between said web and legs at the ends of the slats and having near their inner and outer ends protruding parts engaging within holes provided in the legs.
  • the slats can be bent in a simple and cheap way from sheet metal whilst the strap with the supporting members gives a reliable connection between said slats.
  • a cupboard 1 is shown, which can be closed with the aid of a pair of roller doors 2 and 3, of which roller door 2 is shown in the open position and roller door 3 in the closed position. Consequently of roller door 2 practically only the upright end slat 4 is visible, said end slat 4 being in the closed position of the cupboard adjacent to end slat 5 of roller door 3.
  • grips 6 are fixed, while end slat 5 is also provided with a lock 7.
  • Connected to the end slats are further vertically extending slats 8, which all have the same construction.
  • each slat comprises a web 9 forming a part of the front side of the door and a pair of legs 10 and 11 extending perpendicularly to the web.
  • Leg 11 which is somewhat wider than leg 10 is provided with a lip 12 bent in a direction turned away from leg 10 over an angle of 90°.
  • Each supporting member comprises a web 13 with bent 4 edges 14 at the free ends of which projections 15, with a wedge-shaped section, have been provided.
  • a rib 16 Connected to the centre of the web 13 is a rib 16, extending between the bent edges 14 and at a right angle on the web, said rib connecting the web with a bar shaped part 17 which lies at a distance from the web 13.
  • the supporting member has a flange 18 joined to web 13, the end of rib 16 and bar shaped 17.
  • a pair of wings 20, situated at a distance of each other, so that they define a slit shaped opening are joining said flange 18.
  • the facing planes 21 of the wings 20 have an arcuate shape as appears from fig. 2.
  • a projecting nose 22 has been provided near the one short side of flange 18 in the corner and near the centre of the other short side of flange 18 a projecting nose 23 has been provided. Further a nose 24, extending at a right angle on web 13, has been provided on said end of web 13 which lies near wings 20.
  • a slotted hole 25 (fig. 6) has been made in every bar shaped part 17, through which an oblong strap 26 (only partly shown in fig. 2) can be passed, said strap being flexible so that it can be bend in each point about an axis extending parallel to the longitudinal axis of bar shaped part 17.
  • legs 10 and 11 At some distance of the ends of the slats recesses have been made in legs 10 and 11 for accommodating the wedge-shaped projections 15 in the aimed end position of the supporting members in the slats so that the supporting members are secured against movement in the longitudinal direction of the profiles.
  • Both long strap 26 and the supporting members are preferably made of synthetic material whereby the supporting members at the desired distance of each other can be welded to the strap by means of bar shaped parts 17.
  • the supporting members can be guided along a rail 27, which is accomodated with a strip like portion between the two wings 20.
  • the facing planes 21 of wings 20 are arcuate the wings can pass curves in the rail too.
  • the slats pivot relatively to each other around pivot axes extending parallel to the slats. This is possible due to strap 26, which connects the supporting members, fixed to the various slats, as said strap 26 is flexible.
  • Said supporting member comprises a pair of legs 28 and 29 extending perpendicular on each other whereby leg 28 projects beyond leg 29 on both sides.
  • a pair of wedge-shaped projections 30 as well as a T-shaped connecting piece 31 which lies between the projections have been provided on longer leg 28 at the side turned away from leg 29.
  • such a connecting piece can be coupled with a leg 10 of a slat by sliding the T-shaped connecting piece into a slot made into a slat for this purpose, which is open at the side turned away from the web 9.
  • the two wedge-shaped projections 30 are clicked into holes, made into the relevant web 10, which are not open to the side of the flange, so that these projections 30 secure the connecting piece in the position shown.
  • a supporting member comprises a tubular body 32 having a substantially rectangular section.
  • the body 32 is open at one side and closed at the other side by an end wall 33.
  • On the end wall 33 there is provided a pair of wings 34, similar to wings 20.
  • On one of the wide sides of body 32 a ridge 36, extending in the longitudinal direction of the body and positioned near the centre, has been formed and the ridges 36 of the adjacent bodies 32 are mutually connected by connecting pieces 37, said connecting pieces forming together with said ridges 36 a long strap connecting the various bodies 32 and enabling a pivotal movement of bodies 32 relatively to each other around pivot axes extending parallel to the longitudinal axes of said bodies.
  • bodies 32 are provided with projecting bosses 35 at their ends which lie near wings 34, said bosses limiting a rotation of the bodies relatively to each other in one direction in a position, in which all bodies 32 are positioned in a straight line, as will be clear from the figures. Further said bosses 35, together with bosses 35' provided on the sides remote from strap 36, 37, form stops which limit a sliding into slots 8, because said bosses 35, 35' will be accommodated into recesses made for this purpose in the ends of the slats.
  • projections 37 Similar to the wedge-shaped projections 15 of the first embodiment, have been made.
  • said projections 15 will snap into recesses made into the flanges of the slats to prevent displacement of the supporting members with respect to the slats when mounted.
