Abstract
Description
- The present invention relates to a spring fracture safety device intended for use in an overhead sliding door or similar closing element which is arranged to move between a raised and a lowered end position and which is attached to a helical door-actuating spring and controlled by guide rollers or similar control means running in tracks extending along the intended path of movement of the door, the helical door-actuating spring being wound about a support to which it is secured by means of a clamp.
- One prior-art device of the kind referred to is disclosed in EP-A-0 151 427. In this device, when the spring fractures, its end releases a spring-loaded detent which moves into braking engagement with a sprocket wheel, retarding the movement of the door. A tension detector means is provided to sense the spring tension in order to indicate the occurrence of a spring fracture.
- In contrast to this prior-art structure, the present invention provides means to ensure that without any use of fracture sensing means, in the event of fracture of the spring arranged to balance the overhead sliding door, the door is nonetheless positively arrested in its then position, thus obviating all risks for accidents. The principal object of the present invention thus is to provide a device of the kind indicated above which is arranged to function efficiently and reliably in the event of spring fracture, irrespective of where along the length of the spring that said fracture occurs.
- This object is achieved by means of an arrangement in accordance with the present invention, which is characterized in
that one free end part of the spring forms a projecting section arranged to cooperate with a stop serving to support the spring end part at a point spaced from the outer extremity of said spring end part during normal door operation conditions,
that a movement transfer device, such as a cable, is secured at its upper end to the outer extremity of the spring end part and at its opposite end to a trigger-off mechanism,
that a door-arresting element which is arranged to cooperate with the guide rollers inside said tracks, is connected to the trigger-off mechanism and arranged in response to actuation by the trigger-off mechanism, to be displaced from a retracted position, wherein it is ready for release and wherein said guide rollers are allowed to travel freely inside their associated track, to a door-arresting position, wherein the element projects into the path of movement of said rollers, thus arresting further door movement,
that the trigger-off mechanism is arranged to hold the door-arresting element in the ready-for-release position thereof when the spring end part is supported by the stop and the spring is held under tension but in the event of a fracture of the spring, resulting in disengagement of the spring end part from its support with consequential stretching of the cable, to trigger-off the door-arresting element, thus causing said element to assume its door-arresting position, wherein it projects into the associated track and thus blocks the path of movement of said rollers therein. - One non-limitative embodiment of the invention will be described in the following with reference to the accompanying drawings, in which;
- Fig. 1 illustrates the device in accordance with the invention applied to one of the side tracks for an overhead sliding door in the so-called "door-arresting position";
- Fig. 2 illustrates the door-arresting mechanism in the door-arresting position with a door control roller in restrained position;
- Fig. 3 illustrates the door-spring part of the device in the door-arresting position, which is triggered off by spring fracture;
- Fig. 4 illustrates the same spring in the position in which it is ready for release;
- Fig. 5 is a perspective view of a trigger-off device which is a constituent part of the device and which is showed in its ready-for-release position; and
- Fig. 6 illustrates the trigger-off mechanism in non-assembled position and in a partially sectioned view.
- Fig. 1 illustrates the device in accordance with the invention applied to one of the side tracks of an
overhead sliding door 6. A helically wound door-actuation spring 1 is supported by a number ofbrackets 3 which may be secured at the upper part of a door opening. Thespring 1 is connected to thedoor panel 6 or similar closing element in a manner known in the art and thedoor panel 6 is provided with a number ofguide rollers 5 or equivalent guide means running inguide tracks 4 extending along the lateral edges of the door opening. Via a movement transfer means 9, for instance in the form of acable 9, onefree end 1A of thespring 1 is connected to a mechanism 7 arranged to trigger off a door-arrestingelement 8 in interacting relationship with theguide rollers 5. - The
cable 9 is preferably accommodated in a protected position inside acable protector tube 10 extending between thefree spring end 1A and the door-arrestingelement 8. End 9A of thecable 9 is attached to asleeve 11 which is mounted over thespring end 1A whereas the opposite cable end 9B is attached to the trigger-off mechanism 7 in a manner and for a purpose to be described more in detail in the following. - The
sleeve 11 is formed with ahole 12 at its outer end and the cable end 9A is passed through saidsleeve hole 12 and then bent over and attached to thecable 9 by means of asuitable fastener 13 in order to be securely attached to the cable. Thespring end 1A preferably extends straight outwards from the helically woundspring 1, i.e. more or less tangentially with respect to the spring windings, so as to be able to cooperate with astop 14 on thespring bracket 3. Thestop 14 serves to support thespring end 1A when thespring 1 is held under tension during normal operation of the door and itsspring 1. Arecess 15, having a configuration matching that of thespring end 1A, is formed in thestop 14 for the purpose of receiving and securely retaining thespring end 1A therein, thus preventing thespring 1 from spinning during operation and/or,when placed under tension. - The
spring 1 is wound about a sleeve-shaped support 16 which extends around and encloses ashaft 19. Theshaft 19 is attached in any convenient manner as known in the art to acable drum 18 connected to adoor operating cable 17, and to said shaft is secured the spring end opposite to that ofspring end 1A. In order to prevent thespring end 1A from slipping off the sleeve-shaped spring support 16 it is secured to the latter by means of aclamp 20, which is fastened in a suitable manner, e.g. by means of screws. - The door-arresting
element 8 is arranged for movement between Position I, shown in Fig. 5, in which it is ready to be released by means of the trigger-off mechanism 7, and a door-arresting position, Position II, illustrated in Figs. 1 and 2. In Position I, the spring-fracture safety device is in a readiness position in which theguide rollers 5 are able to move freely inside their associatedtrack 4 during normal door-raising and lowering movements. In the event of fracture of thespring 1, on the other hand, the spring-fracture safety device will be released automatically, as will be explained in closer detail in the following, whereby the door-arrestingelement 8, in response to actuation by the trigger-off mechanism 7, will project into the path of movement 22 of aguide roller 5, for example into theinternal space 4A of the track defined by the transverselyopposite track surfaces 4B, on either side of the running surface on the guide roller. The track surfaces are arranged to cooperate with the guide roller running surfaces in order to stop the movement of the door. - In accordance with the embodiment shown, the door-arresting
element 8 consists of abrake block 23 which is provided with a number ofstop projections 24 projecting in the same direction away from theblock 23. Thebrake block 23 is arranged to be moved from Position I in which it is ready to be released in response to actuation from a number ofrelease springs 25, the latter in accordance with the embodiment shown being made from an arcuately bent, resilient material, or in response to spring-actuation in some other way, to ensure that theblock 23 is triggered off to its active position, when necessary. The triggering-off of theblock 23 is prevented in Position I by means of the trigger-off mechanism 7 which may consists of a pin oneend 7A of which is attached to the cable end 9B which, as indicated in the aforegoing is remote from the cable end 9A attached to thespring end 1A. The opposite end 7B of the mechanism 7 is received in anaperture 26 formed in a tongue-shaped attachment 27 which projects in a direction away from thebottom 28A of a trough-shaped casing 28 housing the door-arrestingelement 8 in its internal cavity 29. As illustrated in Figs. 5 and 6 theattachment tongue 27 projects through a matchingreception aperture 30 formed in thebrake block 23. When thecable 9 is pulled in the direction of arrow 31 (Fig. 5), the associatedsprings 25 are free to push thebrake block 23 outwards, in the direction ofarrow 32, which will occur precisely at the same moment as the fracture occurs in thespring 1, owing to the interconnection in accordance with the invention ofcomponents - The
springs 25 may be arranged for contact with respectively thebottom 28A of the casing and with therear surface 23A of the brake block. They are provided withguide pins 33 projecting at right angles, for example, from thecentral part 25A of the spring and thus also from thebottom 28A of the casing so as to project into matchingholes 34 in thebrake blocks 23. - The
casing 28 has fastening means 35 for attachment of thecasing 28, e.g. to the exterior or other surface of thedoor guide track 4, as clearly shown in Figs. 1 and 2. In addition, it is formed with anelongated opening 36 in one of its sides, through which thecable 9 may be inserted to be secured to theattachment 27. Thesprings 25 are acommodated in aspace 28B formed between thebottom 28A of the casing and the brake block, whilst thebrake block 23 and itsstop projections 24 are fully retracted inside aspace 28D defined by anopening edge 28C. - The
stop projections 24 are formed with anotch 37 for accommodation therein of a part of the associated guide roller, so as to function as a support for saidguide roller 5 and preferably also for a swingingroller holder 38 attached to thedoor element 6 as will be described in more detail below. - The
roller holder 38 consists of two spaced-apart swingingarms end axle 42 accommodated in abearing 41 attached to thedoor panel 6, so as to be permitted to be pivoted about thebearing 41. At theopposite ends arms mounting shaft 44 for adoor guide roller 5 is accommodated by said tube 43, as illustrated in Fig. 2. The swingingarms mounting plate 46, which is secured to theinner face 6A of the door by means ofscrews 47, and which comprises twoflanges door panel 6, one for eacharm curved openings 50 in the flanges and inholes 51 which extend through the swingingarms suitable mounting component 52, which is received in anadjacent section 6¹ of the door panel and which is attached to theshaft 42 by means of atongue 53 containing a hole, forms a link between twosections - In the event of the fracture of the
spring 1 thestraight spring end 1A leaves thestop 14 and rotates towards theclamp 20 in the direction of thearrow 54, as illustrated in Figs. 3 and 4. Thecable 9 is pulled in the direction of thearrow 31 and causes the trigger-off pin 7 to be withdrawn from thehole 26 in theattachment 27, thus releasing thebrake block 23 which can move outwards under spring pressure in the direction of thearrow 32. Thestop projections 24 are thus caused to project throughappropriate holes 55 in the wall 4D of the track and to adopt a position obstructing the normal path of movement of the guide rollers. When aguide roller 5 reaches astop projection 24, a part of theroller 5 will be engaged in thesupport notch 37, and the tube 43 conveniently will abut against a nose-shapedpart 56 of the associatedstop projection 24. As a result, the previously free falling movement of thedoor panel 6 towards the ground will be arrested. Thelower part 24A of the associatedstop projection 24 comes into contact with thelower edge 57 of the through-hole 55. In the presence of a swingingroller holder 38 theroller 5 and thedoor panel 6 will move relative to one another in the vertical sense, whereby thedoor panel 6 will be forced to move in the direction of thearrow 58 towards anattachment profile 59 secured to thetrack 4 and itsseal 61 supported by aprofile section 60, once the bolted connection 45 has yielded and has permitted the rotational movement of the swingingarms arrow 62 about thehinge connection door panel 6 is achieved in this way owing to the present invention. - The safety device can be re-used after replacement of the
broken spring 1, once the constituent parts have been repositioned. - The invention is not restricted to the illustrative embodiment described above and illustrated in the drawings, but may be modified within the scope of the appended claims without departing from the idea of the invention.
