Description
- The present invention concerns a device that may be applied in particular to shutters and similar, that allows, by acting on only one handle, to obtain the opening and the closing of the shutter as well as the orientation and the blocking of the blades in different positions - should the same be orientable - wherein one of said two functions may be eliminated if not requested.
- Shutters with fixed and orientable blades are already known and have been realized in many different ways. Usually, they have a metal framework, in particular of aluminium, and blades, also of aluminium, linked to the window-post of the framework by means of elements of plastic material suitably shaped which, being operated by a control lever, allow to angularly adjust the blades.
- In said shutters, two separate and usually different handles are necessary, one for the opening of the shutter, and the other for orientating the blades.
- The known means for the adjusting of the blades are complicate in the realization thereof, not very sure and request long and wearisome assembly.
- Furthermore, the control lever for the adjusting of the blades usually doesn't offer a fix stop to the same so that they could easily be forced from outside.
- Handles are known that block the blades in the desired position, but they are rather different from those in use and rather expensive.
- It is the aim of the present invention to eliminate all above mentioned inconveniences by means of a simple, cheap device that may be easily mounted, comprising one single handle that may be used for opening the shutter as well as for orientating the blades and causing the blocking thereof in a plurality of different possible positions.
- In a variant, i.e. in the case of shutters with fixed blades, the same handle may be used for only opening the shutter, while in the case of fixed shutter with orientable blades said handle may be used for the sole orientation of the blades.
- The device according to the present invention as claimed in the appendant claims may be applied to shutters comprising a metal framework consisting of a pair of uprights and a couple of crossbeams, wherein the uprights show respectively a vertical sliding guide and a corresponding space at the back, as well as a series of transversal adjacent blades, situated with the ends thereof in said uprights. For the adjusting of said blades, a pair of vertical rods is provided in one of said uprights, said rods being kept parallel and being operable with an alternate, controversial motion, so as to transfer, through suitable dowels, a rotatory motion to the blades in one sense or in the other.
- A handle that may be operated in a rotatory sense is provided with means for transforming said motion in a movement of translation and for passing on said movement to a pair of plates linked to the rods for blocking the shutter in a plurality of different possible positions, as well as to a third plate placed between the first two plates and linked to the moving rod of said blades.
- The present invention is completed by a plate of plastic material, suitably shaped and provided with a pair of plates, should only the opening of the shutter or only the orientation of the blades be requested.

Furthermore,plate 66 has small lateral shearable walls.Plate 66 has no function, but is only used like a thickness so thatplate 63 does not move inseat 54 ofbase 29 of the handle. - In the combination shown with C for the motion of
rods metal plates plastic plate 66 is placed, obtained fromplate 66 of combination B, shearing the smalllateral walls 67. Also in this case, plate 66' is only used as a thickness, so that in placing the series of plates one near the other, a total thickness is obtained equal to the depth of theseat 54 provided in thebase 29 of the handle. - For what concerns the functioning of the variant of the device shown in figures 1 and 2, the user causes, when acting on
lever 39 and at the sametime rotating handle 28, by means of afixed tread 36, a vertical movement ofplate 30 that, in turn, by means ofhook 31, vertically removes movingrod 16, offsetting the same with respect to theother rod 17 and thus provoking the rotation ofblades 6 by means ofdisks 23. - Once the desired orientation of the
blades 6 has been chosen, the same may be blocked in said position by releasinglever 39 and makingretractable pawl 37 engage either withhole 34 or witheyelet 33 or withhole 35. - The functioning of the device according to the present invention will be described hereinbelow, relating in particular to the variant of combination A of figure 3, as the functioning of combinations B and C derive, in an obvious manner, from what will be said for A.
- Starting from the close position of figure 5, i.e. with the handle turned downwards, the positions of the three
plates plate 63 is placed as shown in an exploded view in figure 5, i.e. removed to the lower end ofseat 54 of the base of the handle, the pawl being inserted ineyelet 59 and thepawl 37 being placed at the upper end of thecurve eyelet 60. - The length of
pawl 36 is such that it is able to only engageeyelet 59 ofplate 55, without projecting from the same, while pawl 37, being longer, projects fromplate 55 and will engage bothplates eyelet 64 ofplate 63 and placing itself, with the free end thereof, intoeyelet 61 ofplate 56. The linking betweenplates seal 54 of the base of the handle. Rotating the handle of 90°, the position shown in figure 6 will be obtained, the exact rotation of 90° being assured by the stop consisting inribs 52 ofhub 50 that will engage in corresponding grooves of the cylindric seat provided inbase 29. For this purpose it shall be noted that at least the peripherical part ofhub 50 is of elastically yielding material, so that when a suitable force is applied to handle 28 the outlet ofribs 52 fromgrooves 53 is obtained. - In the position of figure 6,
pawls pawl 37 in the central part ofeyelet 60 ofplate 55, as it is schematically shown by the dotted lines. In such position the threeplates - In such position, the three plates take the whole central part of
seat 54; the twotongues rods tongue 65 ofplate 63 is also slightly moved downwardly causing a similar downward moving ofrod 18 for the moving of the blades, conferring to the same a determined opening degree. - By further moving
handle 28 of 90°, i.e. upwardly moving the same as shown in figure 7,plate 55 will be carried bypawl 36 to the upper end ofseat 54, while the pawl will place to the lower end of the shaped eyelet provided inplate 55, as shown by the dotted line. During said movement,plates same pawl 37 to the lower end ofseat 54 of thebase 29 of the handle. - In the position of figure 7, the maximum approach between
tongues plates rods tongue 65 ofplate 63 is further downwardly moved, causing a similar moving ofrod 18 for the moving of the blades, and therefore the maximum opening degree of the same. - By rotating
handle 28 in the sense contrary to the one above mentioned, the series of the three plates will undergo movements contrary to those above described, causing the closing of the shutter as well as of the blades. The motion ofplates pawl 37, and for this purpose theplate 66 of plastic material shows smalllateral walls 67, between whichplate 63 will get engaged and kept lifted from the plane of the seat so as to avoid an interference withpawl 36. - Finally, in combination C, between
plates plate 66 of combination B, will be interposed, and from said plate 66' thelateral walls 67 have been sheared away. Plate 66' has the sole function of forming a thickness and the motion ofplates - The device according to the present invention is provided with three
metal plates plastic plate 66. - The workman who will set up the shutters will, in case of need, place said plates - during the assembly - according to the different combinations A, B and C above described.
- If a shutter with movable shutters and orientable blades is mounted,
only metal plates - If only the blades' orientation graduation is requested,
metal plate 63 andplastic plate 66 will be used, according to combination B. - If, at last, the shutter is with fix blades and only the opening and closing of the shutter is to be obtained,
metal plates plate 66 after having sheared thelateral walls 67 thereof, according to combination C. - It should be noted that the device according to the present invention may be mounted on shutters opening to the left and to the right, inwardly and outwardly, without any structural modification.
