Definitions

  • the invention relates to an air vent comprising an assembly of a substantially plate-shaped front member provided with vent openings and guide means, a plate-shaped valve member provided with guide means adapted to cooperate with the guide means of the front member and with openings, and a plate-shaped retaining member rigidly mounted relative to the front member and provided with vent openings equal to and in alignment with the vent openings in the front member, the valve member being slidably locked between the front member and the retaining member such that the vent openings can be cleared in part or in whole or not at all by sliding the valve member relative to the front member and the retaining member by an operating mechanism so as to bring the valve member into an open, closed or partly opened position.
  • Such an air vent is known from FR-A-394 337.
  • FR-A-394 337 By locking the valve member between the front member and the retaining member bending of the valve member due to pressure differences or varying pressure differences between both sides of the air vent, and thus the danger of leakages or a rattling or trembling valve member, is decreased because irrespective of the direction of bending, the valve member is always pushed in close contact with either the front member or the retaining member.
  • the sealing effect can be adversely influenced by dirt.
  • dirt adheres to the inner sides of the front member and the retaining member, it will hardly be possible to remove said dirt because said inner surfaces are not accessible.
  • said dirt can prevent the desired face-to-face sealing contact between said member and the valve member and thus causing leakages experienced as draught and sometimes as extremely irritating whistling noises or in case of varying pressure differences causing a rattling or trembling valve member.
  • the object of the invention is to eliminate the above described disadvantages by providing the possibility of easily cleaning the air vent and thus removing or even preventing leakages due to adhering dirt in an air vent of the type described in the preamble.
  • the air vent comprises a box-like element with two opposing wall sections provided with vent openings, at least one of said wall sections being detachably mounted, said at least one wall section being provided with the guide means of the front member of a first assembly in the form of a substantially U-shaped channel extending in the sliding direction of the valve member along two opposite longitudinal edges of the valve member and slidably receiving both the valve member and the retaining member, the retaining member having a length corresponding to the length of the front member and the U-shaped channel being closed off at both ends by end partitions forming part of the box-like element when the assembly is mounted in the box-like element.
  • a still further improved seal can be obtained in accordance with a further embodiment of the invention in case said both wall sections are provided with guide means of the front member for a first and a second assembly in the form of a substantially U-shaped channel for guiding a value member and receiving a retaining member, said box-like element providing by an insulating material a thermal interruption between the two assemblies, the two front members forming external surfaces of the air vent and the operating mechanism bringing the two valve members simultaneously into the open, closed or partly opened position.
  • the pressure difference across each of the two valve members is smaller - ideally by half - than the pressure difference in the case of an air vent with only one valve member, so that the chance of leakage is accordingly smaller.
  • a further advantage of this embodiment is that by providing a thermal interruption, heat insulation is improved.
  • the front member of the second assembly is an integral part of the box-like element, the second assembly being provided with guide means, which enable demounting of the retaining member and the valve member from the box-like element.
  • a simple demounting of the retaining member is achieved in case the second assembly comprises a U-shaped channel which receives both the retaining member and the valve member the length of one of the legs of said channel being reduced in such a manner that the retaining member and the valve member can be disengaged from the confinement of the two channels, there being provided locking means cooperating with the first detachable assembly, which locking means in the mounted position of the detachable assembly prevent the retaining member and the valve member from disengaging from the confinement of the channels.
  • the non-detachable assembly can also be demounted quickly and simply for cleaning.
  • the locking means consist of a longitudinal flange connected to the front member and/or the retaining member of the one assembly and a strip of resilient material connected to the retaining member of the other assembly.
  • pressure differences can be taken up in a stepped manner by virtue of the box-like design.
  • This effect can be further improved when, in accordance with a further embodiment of the invention, the longitudinal edge and one of the external walls of the box-like element are provided with pressure equalizing bores, these pressure equalizing bores in the external wall in question terminating in an inner space of the box-like element, which is separated by the longitudinal flange and the strip of resilient material from an inner space which is partly defined by the retaining means provided with vent openings.
  • valve members in particular valve members of a relatively great height
  • the retaining members of the two assemblies are mutually supported by at least one strip-shaped member which is located within the box-like element and made of a resilient material, which strip-shaped member preferably extends parallel to the sliding direction of the valve members.
  • the air vent shown in the drawings comprises a first section 1, which, via a section 2 of a thermally insulating material, for instance a plastics, is coupled with a second section 3 which extends throughout the height of the air vent and, by means of a section 4 similar to section 2, is coupled with a section 5.
  • the sections 2, 3, and 5 are made of a relatively stiff and form-retaining material, such as aluminium.
  • the section 1 comprises an insertion opening 6, while the section 5 has a retaining flange 7.
  • a further section 8 is so designed that it fits between sections 1 and 5 and can be coupled to the section 1 by means of an insertion flange 9.
  • Adjacent the point where section 8 adjoins section 5, the former has a flange 10 which at several points is provided with bores for passing therethrough a screw 11 which further extends through bores provided in line therewith in the retaining flange 7 of the section 5.
  • a box-like construction is formed which is closed at its ends by end partitions (not shown) which are secured by means of screws 12 in the longitudinal recesses 13 provided for that purpose in the sections 1, 3, and 5.
  • the recesses 13 of the section 3 further serve for clampingly mounting a plurality of local retaining strips 14 for receiving a plurality of covering strips 15 extending throughout the width of the air vent to prevent rain from entering.
  • the section 8, which is detachably coupled to the sections 1 and 5, comprises a multiplicity of slot-shaped vent openings 16, as shown in Fig. 2. Viewed in the longitudinal direction of the air vent, the ventilation openings are mutually separated by plate surfaces 17 which are slightly wider than the vent openings.
  • the drawings show an embodiment which is preferably used for relatively high air vents. To provide for sufficient rigidity, pairs of openings 16 provided above each other are mutually separated by a plate-shaped material bridge 18.
  • the section 8 comprises adjacent its two longitudinal edges a rib 19 which forms a guide channel 20 together with a plate portion of the section disposed beyond the vent opening and with a portion of the section that connects that plate portion and the rib.
  • a valve member 21 and a retaining member 22 have been slid into the guide channel 20.
  • the valve member 21 is in surface-to-surface contact with the part of the section 8 that is provided with vent openings 16, while the retaining member 22 in turn is in surface-to-surface contact with the valve member 21.
  • the retaining member 22 has a length which is substantially equal to that of the section 8, the arrangement being such that shifting of the retaining member 22 is prevented by the end partitions (not shown).
  • the valve member 21, on the other hand is shorter as viewed in the longitudinal direction thereof, in such a manner that it can be slid back and forth in longitudinal direction by means of a turning knob 23 and a transmission mechanism (not shown).
  • the valve member 21 comprises vent openings 24 and the retaining member 22 comprises vent openings 25, which vent openings all have the same dimensions and location as those in the section 8, while in all three elements the same number of vent openings have been provided.
  • the vent openings 25 are in alignment with those in the section 8.
  • the longitudinal displacement of the valve member 21 by means of the turning knob 23 is defined between an open position wherein the vent openings 24 align with the vent openings 16 and 25, as shown in Fig. 1, and a closed position wherein the vent openings 24 are covered entirely by the plate surfaces 17 on one side and the corresponding plate surfaces of the retaining member 22 on the other side.
  • Fig. 2 shows the closed position. It will be clear that between the open and the closed position, a large number of intermediate positions are possible.
  • section 3 is provided with vent openings 26 and guide channels 27, in which are mounted a sliding valve member 28 with vent openings 29 and a non-sliding retaining member 30 with vent openings 31.
  • the valve member 28 and the valve member 21 can be slid simultaneously by means of the turning knob 23, in such a manner that the vent openings 24 and 29 are simultaneously cleared completely, closed or partly opened.
  • section 8 with associated parts can be demounted in a simple manner by unscrewing screws 11, whereafter section 8 can be swung sideways and taken from the section 1 by pulling the insertion flange 9 from the insertion opening 6.
  • the retaining member 22 and the valve member 21 can then be demounted in a simple manner by sliding them laterally out of the guide channels 20.
  • the section 3 is not demountable in this manner.
  • the lower guide channel 27 comprises a rib 32 of reduced dimensions, such that the retaining member 30 and the valve member 28, after removal of section 8, can be detached from the guide channel 27 by pushing it up and swinging it sideways.
  • the retaining member 30 and hence the valve member 28 are retained in position by a resilient plastics strip 33 connected to the retaining member, while a hold-down flange 34, which is part of the section 8, bears on this strip 33.
  • a plurality of apertures 35 which interconnect the space between the retaining members 25 and 30 and a space 36 between the sections 3, 4, and 5 under the hold-down flange 34.
  • This space 36 communicates with the outside air via apertures 37 in the section 3.
  • the section 8 further comprises two longitudinally extending receiving channels 38 for an insect wire screen 39 which, therefore, is detachable together with the section 8, for instance for the purpose of cleaning or replacement, and subsequently can be slid out of the receiving channels 38 of the section 8.
  • the valve members 21 and 28 as well as retaining members 22 and 30 can be made of plastics so as to give the valve members good sliding properties.
  • a strip-shaped member 40 is provided which extends in longitudinal direction and receives support from the two retaining members.
  • the strip-shaped member 40 is preferably made of a resilient plastics material, so that independently of the tolerances of the various members, at all times a proper hold-down and relative support can be maintained.
  • the strip-shaped member 40 consists of two parts.
  • an air vent is provided which in the closed position is always sealed in a particularly effective manner.
  • this is accomplished by locking a valve member in surface-to-surface contact between members arranged on opposite sides thereof, whereby the surface-to-surface engagement of the valve member with an adjacent member prevents bending of the valve member as a result of pressure differences.
  • the surface-to-surface engagement not only prevents bending but also improves the sealing effect in that the member which the valve member comes in contact with is provided, opposite the vent openings in the valve member, with plate surfaces that overlap those openings.
  • a further improvement of the sealing effect is realized by the double design of this improved sealing, whereby, moreover, an enclosed box-like space is formed, which provides for a stepped taking up of a pressure difference across the air vent, i.e., the pressure difference to be taken up is divided between the two seals.
  • the sections 3 and 8 are preferably made of a relatively stiff material, for instance aluminium, while the valve members 21 and 29 as well as the retaining members 22 and 30 are preferably made of a plastics material having a low coefficient of friction.
  • the resilient strip-shaped member 40 is present, pressing the plastics parts in the direction of the stiffer sections. At the same time, this leads to a closer contact and hence to an improved seal between the various members.
  • section 3 could be made of three parts, with the end partitions (not shown) forming a framework together with the top and bottom sections, the two valve assemblies being detachably mounted therein.
  • the material bridges 18 could be omitted.
  • a strip-shaped member 40 can be provided, which, if so desired, could extend vertically rather than horizontally, i.e., in vertical direction of the air vent.
