Abstract
This safety device is effective to inhibit opening of a door in case of failure of the pneumatic system; it is primarily useful with so-called inward rototranslation doors wherein each door wing has a top-mounted peg (4,5,103,202,302) guided slindingly in a track (6,104,203,303) overlying the door. The device comprises a checking member (7,8,105,209-210,315) in said track which is movable between a home position whereat it does not interfere with the peg (4,5,103,202,302) and an operative position whereat it holds the peg back; this member (7,8,105,209-210,315) is held at its home position by the pneumatic system against the bias of springs (16,23,120,215,320) in such a manner as to be automatically brought to its operative position on the occurrence of a failure.
Description
- This invention relates to a safety device for application to a door of a municipal means of public transport, in particular a door of the so-called inward rototranslation type operated by a pneumatic system, wherein a door wing is provided with a top-mounted peg guided for sliding movement in a track overlying the door, said device being effective to inhibit opening of the door in case of failure of the pneumatic system.
- Inward rototranslation doors, as recently introduced and valued for their simplicity and tight-fitting ability, usually comprise two door wings which, instead of being pivoted to the vehicle structure, are connected to an upright drive rod, lying adjacent to the door, by upper and lower arms rotatively rigid with the rod and being pivoted to the door wing at a middle region thereof; a peg attached to each door wing close to its edge confronting the other door wing is guided slidingly in a straight track overlying the door.
- By means of that peg, the edge of each door wing confronting the other door wing is bound to span the door gap during the door opening and closing movements.
- Safety regulations provide for a number of directions and accessory devices to cope with any emergency situations in the most appropriate of ways. In particular, some countries, among which Italy, prescribe that in the event of a malfunction (with attendant pressure drop) in the pneumatic system the doors should remain locked in their closed positions.
- The advisability of this prescription has been, and still is, the matter for much arguing because in some (possibly rare but nevertheless not unlikely) cases the vehicle could turn into a deadly trap.
- Anyhow, currently in use are safety devices which usually provide direct mechanical locking of the drive rod pneumatic actuation; the locking device is activated each time that the door is closed, and bypassed by the pneumatic system each time that the door is opened. Lacking air pressure, the device is arranged to retain its locked condition and trips to prevent the door from opening under a thrust force applied from the inside.
- As may be appreciated, such a locking device is apt to be rather complicated and, above all, liable to breakage failures on account of its being operated each time that the door is opened and closed.
- It has been also observed that, due to the peculiar kinematics of an inward rototranslation door, any load applied to a closed door wing is apt to be transferred to the drive rod actuation system, and hence to the locking device, multiplied by several ten times; consequently, it has been found that a relatively moderate force exerted on the door is enough to cause breakage of the locking device.
- The complications of prior locking devices, and their being readily liable to fail, constitute a serious obstacle to widespread acceptance of rototranslation doors, in spite of the advantages afforded by the latter being well recognized.
- It is an object of this invention to provide a simple and reliable safety device, particularly for an inward rototranslation door, which can ensure locking of the door in the event of a malfunction of the pneumatic system.
- This object is achieved, according to the invention, by a safety device as indicated being characterized in that it comprises a checking member in said track adapted to be movable between a home position whereat it does not interfere with the peg and an operative position whereat it holds the peg back, said member being held at its home position by pneumatic means connected in the pneumatic system against the bias of spring means.
- Further features and the advantages of a safety device according to the invention will become apparent from the following description of some preferred embodiments thereof, given with reference to the accompanying drawings. In th e drawings:
- Figure 1 shows a vertical cross-section view through a device according to the invention, incorporating two checking members for the pegs of two door wings, at its home position;
- Figure 2 shows a vertical cross-section view of the device of Figure 1, at its operative position;
- Figure 3 is a vertical cross-section view of a variation of the inventive device, incorporating a single checking member for one door wing peg, at its operative position;
- Figure 4 is a detail view of another variation of the inventive device; and
- Figure 5 is a detail view of a further variation of the device according to the invention.
- Making now specific reference to Figures 1 and 2, there is depicted a safety device 1 for a two-wing inward rototranslation door, the door wings being only partly visible and designated 2 and 3. Each of the
door wings peg straight track 6 overlying thedoor wings - The safety device 1 comprises two
checking levers 7 and 8, one for eachpeg peg 4 with thewing 2 closed, and is movable through anopening 10 in thetrack 6 between a home position (see Figure 1) whereat it does not interfere with thepeg 4, an,d an operative position (see Figure 2) whereat it holds back thepeg 4 by means of aconcave arm 11. - An
arm 12 of the lever 7 opposed from thearm 11 is connected to anarm 13 of a lay lever 14 (journalled to the plate 9) by arod 15 which is journalled to both thearm 12 and thearm 13. Aspring 16 is stretched between thearm 12 and aring 17 attached to theplate 9 on the opposed side from therod 15. - In quite a similar manner, the
lever 8 is journalled to theplate 9 at the location of thepeg 5 with thedoor wing 3 closed, and is movable through anopening 18 in thetrack 6 between a home position (see Figure 1) and an operative position (see Figure 2) whereat it holds back thepeg 5 by means of anarm 19. - An
arm 20 of thelever 8, lying opposedly from thearm 19, is connected to anarm 21 of thelay lever 14, lying opposedly from thearm 13, through arod 22 journalled to both thearm 20 and thearm 21. Aspring 23 is stretched between thearm 20 and aring 24 attached to theplate 9, on the opposed side from therod 22. - Thus, the
levers 7 and 8 are interconnected to be both at all times at either their home or operative positions. - The
lay lever 14 is made rotatively rigid with athird arm 25 to which there is connected arod 26 of apiston 27 arranged to slide sealingly within acylinder 28 which is permanently supplied with pressurized air through apipe 29, only partly shown and being connected to ahead 30 of thecylinder 28; aspring 31 fits in thecylinder 28 around therod 26 and is compressed between thepiston 27 and abottom 32 of thecylinder 28. - The
arm 25 is also connected, at the remote side from thepiston rod 26, to acable 33 of the so-called Bowden type having anadjustment assembly 34 mounted on aplate 35 fast with theplate 9 and an operating handle (not shown) mounted at an accessible location from the vehicle inside. - The safety device 1 operates as follows.
- In normal conditions, that is with the pneumatic system supplying compressed air at the set pressure level, the device 1 is at its home position, shown in Figure 1. In this situation, the compressed air will exert in the cylinder 28 a thrust force effective to overcome the elastic bias of the
spring 31 and thesprings 16 and 23 (by compressing the former and tensioning the latter). The various arms, levers, and rods take the positions of Figure 1; more specifically, thearms checking levers 7 and 8 are raised and do not interfere with thepegs track 6. - This condition is maintained as long as the proper pressure is maintained within the pneumatic system, irrespective of the
door wings - Should a malfunction result in an air pressure drop, then the
springs arms pegs door wings 2 and 3) from causing thedoor wings - Where, by contrast, people in the vehicle wish to deliberately open the
door wings 2 and 3 (e.g. in order to leave the vehicle following some accident), they shall merely have to force thedoor wings pegs arms springs levers 7 and 8 from thepegs cable 33 by pulling its handle in quite a conventional manner. - Shown in Figure 3 is a simplified variation of the invention which is only suitable for use with a single door wing instead of two. According to this variation, a
safety device 101 is shown for awing 102 of an inward rototranslation door having apeg 103 guided slidingly in astraight track 104. - The
device 101 comprises achecking lever 105 journalled to a plate 106 (fast with the track 104) at the location of thepeg 103 with thewing 102 closed; thelever 105 is movable, through anopening 107 in thetrack 104, between a home position whereat it does not interfere with thepeg 103, and an operative position (see Figure 3) whereat it holds back thepeg 103 by aconcave arm 108. - An
arm 109 of thelever 105, lying opposedly from thearm 108, is connected to arod 110 of apiston 111 sealingly slidable within acylinder 112 which is permanently supplied with pressurized air through apipe 113 connected to ahead 114 of thecylinder 112; aspring 115 fits in thecylinder 112 around thepiston rod 110 and is compressed between thepiston 111 and abottom 116 of thecylinder 112. - The
arm 109 is also connected, on the opposed side from therod 110, to a Bowdencable 117 having anadjustment assembly 118 mounted on asmall plate 119 fast with theplate 106 and an operating handle (not shown) mounted at an accessible location from the vehicle inside. - A
further spring 120 is compressed between thearm 109 and thesmall plate 119, being coiled around thecable 117. - The operation of the
safety device 101 is quite similar to that of the device 1, and accordingly, will not be discussed in detail. - In accordance with another variation of the invention, there is shown in Figure 4 a
safety device 201 for a wing (not shown) of an inward rototranslation door having apeg 202 which is guided slidingly in atrack 203. - The
device 201 comprises awasher 204 which is attached to thepeg 202 and formed with anelevation 205. - The
device 201 further comprises acylinder 206 mounted on a plate 207 (fast with the track 203) at the location of thepeg 202 with the door wing closed. Thecylinder 206 is mounted in a substantially orthogonal position to thetrack 203, and accommodates apiston 208 slidably in sealed relationship therein which has apiston rod 209 carrying at its free end asmall wheel 210 projecting into thetrack 203 through an opening 211. - The
cylinder 206 is of a type having a closedhead 212 and a sealedbottom 213 through which there opens a compressedair supply pipe 214; aspring 215 is compressed between thepiston 208 and thehead 212. - The
piston rod 209 with thewheel 210 forms a c hecking member for thepeg 202 and is movable between a home position whereat it does not interfere with thepeg 202 and an operating position (see Figure 4) whereat it holds back thepeg 202 by virtue of thewheel 210 becoming engaged with theelevation 205 on thewasher 204. - The operation of the
device 201 is similar to that of thedevices 1 and 101. Thepeg 202 holding action is provided by thepiston rod 209,small wheel 210, andelevation 205 on thewasher 204. Also in this variation, in an emergency situation, the locked door may be opened by forcing it in its normal opening direction, that is by having thewheel 210 move over and past theelevation 205 and compressing thespring 215. - In a further variation of this invention, as shown in Figure 5, a
safety device 301 for a door wing (not shown) of an inward rototranslation door having apeg 302 guided slidingly in atrack 303 is provided. - The
device 301 comprises a washer 304 which is attached to thepeg 302 and has a top surface including aflat sunk portion 305 and a flat raised portion 306 which are interconnected by an obliquely lyingportion 307. - The
device 301 also comprises acylinder 308 mounted on abracket 309 which is associated adjustably with aplate 310 made fast with thetrack 303; thebracket 309 is attached to theplate 310 by means of apin 311 and abolt 312 passed through a slot in thebracket 309. Thecylinder 308 accommodates, in sealed sliding relationship therein, apiston 314 having a piston rod 315 jutting into thetrack 303 through anopening 316 located at the same location as thepeg 302 with the door wing closed. - The
cylinder 308 is of a type which has a closedhead 317 and a sealedbottom 318 through which there opens a compressedair supply pipe 319; aspring 320 is compressed between thepiston 314 and thehead 317. - The piston rod 315 forms a checking member for the
peg 302 and is movable between a home position whereat it does not interfere with thepeg 302 and an operating position (see Figure 5) whereat it will hold thepeg 302 back by engaging with theoblique portion 307 of the washer 304. - The
safety device 301 operates in quite a similar manner to that of thedevice 201, with the difference that, in the absence of a wheel on the piston rod, provision is made for adjusting the inclined setting of thecylinder 308 during the assembling step of thedevice 301 in order to ensure best engagement of the piston rod 315 with the washer 304. - As may be appreciated from the foregoing description, a safety device according to this invention can fully achieve its set objective: in fact, the reliability of such a device would be ensured by both its simple mechanics and the fact that it is only activated where required and not each time that the door is closed.
- Moreover, this safety device goes a step further than lawful provisions by enabling (in a simple way) a door locked because of a compressed air outage to be opened in emergency situations.
