Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a universal device for winding cords, cables and the like, more particularly for the motorization of blinds and furniture elements in general.
  • these systems include an electric motor driving one or more pulleys for winding ropes or cables linked to the element which is to be actuated.
  • the systems offered are generally planned and produced for the specific use for which they are intended, and it is therefore difficult, if not impossible, to adapt a motorization system for a use different from the intended use.
  • the main object of the present invention is to provide a universal device for winding ropes, cables and the like, adaptable, without substantial modifications, to various uses, having the smallest possible footprint and allowing rapid fixing.
  • the device must be of a compact structure that is easily achievable.
  • the invention also aims to achieve an economical device, both from the point of view of manufacturing as that of installation and use.
  • a universal device for winding ropes, cables and the like comprising a motor associated with a drum making it possible to wind a plurality of traction elements such as ropes, cables and the like, characterized in that it comprises a box-shaped element of substantially cylindrical shape and having a longitudinal slot directed along a generatrix of said box-shaped element, this box-shaped element being closed at the ends by flanges supporting the ends of said drum, this drum being rotatably mounted inside said box-shaped body and being fitted with elements for guiding and fixing said traction elements, these traction elements being able to be wound around said drum, passing through said slot.
  • the device indicated generally with the reference number 1, comprises a container-shaped body or casing 2, having a substantially cylindrical configuration and having a longitudinal slot 3, arranged along a generatrix of the casing.
  • the slot 3 has rounded edges capable of facilitating the passage of one or more traction elements, in this case a rope 5.
  • the cord 5 is wound on a drum 6 placed inside the casing 2 and supported at the ends by supports 7 and 8 which constitute the closing flanges of the casing 2.
  • the winding drum 6 is advantageously actuated by an electric motor, not illustrated in the figures, placed inside the drum itself and of which only the power cable 9 is visible.
  • the drum 6 is provided with elements for guiding and retaining the traction elements constituted by rings 10 which can be moved along the drum 6 and locked in the desired position, to define winding sections 11 according to the desired dimensions.
  • the rings 10 also have means for blocking the ends of each of the cords 5, constituted for example by screws in a manner known per se.
  • a ring can also have a hole or an axial milling 14 in order to allow the passage of a cord whose ends are attached to the element to be actuated, so that the cord is wound symmetrically on two adjacent sections separated by the ring.
  • the distance between the external winding surface of the drum and the internal face of the casing is approximately equal to the section of the rope to be wound, so that the rope is wound in adjacent successive turns without overlapping.
  • the operation of the device is very simple. We first determine the number and position of the rings according to the number and length of the ropes to be wound.
  • the casing 2 is provided with an external groove 12 which extends along a generatrix of the casing, in the illustrated case opposite to the slot 3; the groove 12 can receive various anchoring means such as profiled parts sealed in the wall.
  • FIG. 3 is illustrated, by way of example, an example of possible use of the device according to the invention, consisting of a blind of the marquise type 13, as used to protect the shop windows from the sun.
  • the device is used to fold and open the blind by the cords 5.
  • the device according to the invention can be used, for example, to operate household blinds, panels and sliding walls or else furniture, ceiling lamps and the like.
  • Another important advantage is the ring system which allows the device to be used to wind any number of strings.
