Abstract
Description
- The present invention relates to a closure device particularly for closing doors in vans, containers freezer cars and the like, capable of giving to the doors maximum stability in closure, regardless of the type and the direction of the stresses to which said closure is subject during the movement of the vehicle.
- Various mechanisms have long been known and used which are based on the use of clamps to ensure the closure of the rear or lateral doors of vans and of containers in general. Usually these mechanisms have one or more rods mounted vertically and rotatably on the outer face of the door be it a single door or a door with two shutters with the free sides partially overlapping in closure; at the opposite ends of each rotatable rod, a fork-like (or eccentric) locking element is provided arranged at 90° with respect to the longitudinal axis of the rotatable rod and engaging, in the final step of the closure of the door, with a variously shaped coupler which is mounted rigidly associated with the lintel of the opening and is variously shaped, for example as an inclined plane, pins or lugs protruding from said lintel. The prongs of the forks thus engage the respective coupler while the door is moved proximate to the closure and then "pull", that is to say force the stable closure of said shutter during the final step of rotation of the forkbearing rod.
- These known types of clamps for the closure of doors of vans and the like, though capable of ensuring a stable closure of shutter doors, in practice are unable to effectively bear the stresses to which the clamps are subject both as a consequence of the load being carried and due to the movement on the road. In fact, as is known, a clamp of this type must be able to recover any of the always possible elastic deformations of the assembly composed of the door-frame or lintel and of the related shutters and to oppose as much as possible the onset of vertical and rebound stresses which occur along the vertical axis of the clamps The closure device must also react to the interior stresses created by the load bearing on the shutters during accelerations of the vehicle and oppose the torsional stresses generated by pavement deformations.
- In order to partially overcome these disadvantages and shortcommings, hook-like couplers have already been proposed which provide a rib or protrusion, substantially in the shape of a truncated cone, at the end opposite to the one which bears the coupling forks and axially thereto. Once the coupling is effected, the rib accommodates in a complementarily shaped seat provided in the coupler plate; this prevents the fork in closure from moving transversely with respect to the rotatable rod and therefore allows to oppose any stresses occurring transversely with respect to the shutters, ensuring a stable closure in this direction. These known couplers, however, are not capable of opposing all the other previously mentioned stresses to which the clamp is subject during movement and which jeopardize the stability of the clamp itself.
- Therefore, the aim of the present invention is to provide a closure device particularly for closing doors in vans, containers, freezer cars and the like, capable to eliminate the disadvantages and shortcomings of known devices, and most of all such as to be capable, once the coupling has occurred, of recovering any elastic deformation of the door-frame/shutter assembly and of opposing with maximum effectiveness the various stresses to which the closure is normally subject during the movement of a vehicle on the road, as, for example, of a ship during seafaring transportation.
- A further object of the invention is to provide a structurally simple and highly reliable door closure device, easily operated in closing and in opening, as well as adapted to be provided even with two or more closure rods for two shutters according to the loads and to the stability and safety requirements.
- This aim, this object, and others which will become apparent from the following description, are achieved by a closure device, particularly for closing doors in vans, containers, freezer cars and the like, of the type having one or more rods rotatably associated with a door, a hook associated with the ends of said rods, a coupler device rigidly associated with the frame of the vehicle door-opening, characterized in that it comprises a substantially T-shaped element having a vertical portion which can be fixed to said ends of said rotatable rod and having a horizontal part shaped, at one end, as a fork, with outwardly curved prongs, during the rotation of said rod, said prongs being inserted within a coupler element comprising a double lug protruding at one end of a plate-like element fixed to said frame of said door-opening, said horizontal part of said T-shaped element being longitudinally splined for its entire length so as to create a longitudinal groove for the containment and retention of an element in the shape of a continuous rib provided on said plate-like element, at the end of said rib, opposite to said end bearing said double lug, an abutment being provided for an end of said horizontal part of the T-shaped element, the size of said prongs of said fork, of said groove and of said rib protruding from said plate-like element, being such as to cause the coupling, between said hook and said coupler, to begin when the curved tips of said prongs act as levers, by resting on said double lug as a consequence of the initial rotation of said vertical rod, forcing said longitudinal groove to gradually be inserted in said rib of said coupler element during the further rotation of said fork-bearing rod, when the coupling is achieved said end of said horizontal part of said T-shaped element resting stably against said abutment which protrudes from said rib.
- More particularly, both said longitudinal groove, provided in the horizontal portion of the T-shaped element, and said rib, protruding from said plate-like element, have a substantially conical cross section to facilitate their coupling and improve their stability.
- The invention is described hereinafter in greater detail according to a preferred but not exclusive embodiment, given only by way of non-limitative example, with reference to the accompanying drawings, wherein:
- figure 1 is a schematic front view of the component elements of an ordinary closure for doors of containers and the like;
- figure 2 is a side view of a hook according to the invention, separated from the rotatable operating rod;
- figure 3 is a front view of the hook of figure 2;
- figure 4 is a top view of the hook of figure 2 according to the line A-A of figure 2;
- figure 5 is a cross section view along the line B-B of figure 2;
- figure 6 is a front view of the coupler element for the hook of figure 2;
- figure 7 is a top view of the coupler element of figure 6;
- figures 8 and 9 are two cross section views respectively taken along the lines VIII-VIII and IX-IX of Figure 6;
- figure 10 is a view of the positions of the hook of figure 2 approaching the coupler element of figures 6 and 7;
- figure 11 is a front view of the completed insertion of the fork of the hook in the related coupler; and
- figure 12 is a middle cross section view of the insertion of figure 11.
- With reference to said figures, and in particular to figure 1, an ordinary clamp for doors or shutters of vans and the like is composed of at least one
rod 1, usually tubular at least at its extremities, which is mounted vertically and rotatably on the outer face of a door and, in the case of a two-shutter door, at the region of overlapping and mating of one shutter with the other; therod 1 is rotatably supported byend brackets 2 and byintermediate brackets 3. A rod-like handle 5 is hinged perpendicular to the rod at apivot 4 for rotating the shutter. Thehandle 5, when the shutter has been closed, is rotatable until it reaches theposition 5a illustrated in phantom lines and is lockable in an adapted seat 6 by means of a lock 7 or the like. - The hook means intended to insert in couplers rigidly associated with the frame of the door opening of the van or of the container are rigidly associated with the two ends 1a of the
rod 1, and substantially form the object of the present invention and will be described in detail hereinafter with reference to figures 2 to 12. - Thus, according to the present invention, the closure device comprises a hook to be welded to the ends of the
rod 1 and a coupler element to be connected, by welding or bolting, to the frame (above and below it) of the door opening of the vehicle, said door opening not being illustrated in the figures. - The hook is constituted by a substantially T-shaped element, generally indicated by 8 in figure 2, having a
vertical portion 9 which inserts into the ends 1a of the rotatabletubular rod 1; an intermediate flange 9a provides an abutment against theend bracket 2. Thehorizontal part 10 of the T-shaped element constitutes instead the hooking and insertion element. - An end of this hooking
element 10 is made in the shape of a fork 10c, theprongs 10a-10b whereof are provided at their ends with two teeth, or tips, 11-11a which are outwardly curved with respect to the door plane (figures 2-3), that is to say located at the end of a holder 12 (figure 4). Thehorizontal part 10 of the T-shaped element is longitudinally splined for its entire length so as to form acontinuous groove 13 having a substantially conical cross section; said groove is open at theend 14 opposite to the fork end; theend 14 being curved and connected to a lowerinclined plane 15 for reasons which will become apparent hereinafter. - As previously mentioned, two
identical hooks 8 are inserted in the opposite ends of therotatable rod 1, as schematically illustrated in figure 1. Figure 5 illustrates a cross section of thehorizontal part 10 along the line B-B of figure 2. - The coupler element, adapted to cooperate with the above described hook, comprises a plate-like element 16 (figures 6 and 7) provided with means for being fixed to the door-frame of the vehicle, such as, for example, bolts inserted in the
holes 17 or welding. - An enlarged portion, forming a
continuous rib 18 having a substantially conical cross section, as clearly illustrated in figure 9, is rigidly associated withsaid plate 16 and its size is such as to mate with thecontinuous groove 13 provided longitudinally in thehook 8. - A double lug
transverse element 19 is provided at one end of saidrib 18, while a heel or protruding abutment 20 (figure 7), against which theplanar end 15 of the hook rests once the coupling has occurred, is provided at the other end. - The closure device operates as follows (figure 10):
by moving the handle of therotatable rod 1 which bears the two opposite hooks, the door is turned on its hinges along the radius of rotation R so that thehooks 8 pass fromposition 8 to position 8a etc., until the teeth 11-11a of the fork of the hook make contact with thedouble lug element 19; at the moment of the first contact 19a between the teeth and the double lug element, by reversing the direction of rotation of therod 1 the hook and the coupler begin to engage since the fork tips, by resting on the lugs, act as levers, forcing the longitudinal groove of the hook to gradually accommodate the rib of theplate 16 until, when the coupling has occurred, theend 15 of the hook rests against theheel 20. - When the shutters are closed, the hook assumes the position illustrated in figures 11 and 12, wherein: a) the
fork 10a-10b engaged by the double lug bears the outward thrusts against the door from inside; b) the hook end rests against theheel 20, thus any lateral forces components are counteracted and c) the conical coupling between thegroove 13 and therib 18, by preventing any possible play, eliminates the vertical rebound stresses, simultaneously reacting to torsional stresses. - Furthermore the double lug is engaged at the maximum possible distance and thus the shutter is "pulled" into the door-frame, facilitating the insertion of perimetral gaskets made of rubber or the like.
- Naturally, in practice the invention as described above is susceptible to structurally and functionally equivalent modifications and variations, without thereby abandoning the scope of the protection of the invention.
