Definitions

  • the subject invention concerns an articulated grate for protection of doors and windows in general, that can be extended to cover the whole span of the opening when the place is unattended, and can be shifted laterally, clearing almost completely the span when the place is attended.
  • grates do not have adequate characteristics to be used in flats, because of the low level of the finishing, of the maintaining problems due to numerous articulations, subject to oxidising, and because of the relative facility with which the plate can be cut.
  • the Utility Model DE-U-8714746 discloses a roller blind to which is coupled an articulated security screen that is formed by a variable number of long packetable rods, of different section, i.e. double rods.
  • the ends of said rods are inserted in suitable guides, while the rods can be shifted by the virtue of transversal foldable bars, each of them has a first end hinged to a long rod, while, near its other end, the bar is provided with a slot in which a pin, fixed to a next rod, can slide.
  • the document US-4.006.768 discloses an extendable grate, adapted to protect doors or similar openings, which is of the type that has a series of uprights, each of them has a slide vertically movable and internally driven respectively by a lower rod, that is slidingly supported by an horizontal inferior guide of the frame of the grate, and by an upper rod, that is slidingly supported by an horizontal superior guide of said frame.
  • Such uprights can be shifted by virtue of transversal connection bars that can assume different inclinations.
  • the ends of each transversal bars are respectively pivoted to a corresponding couple of faced slides of two adjacent uprights.
  • the uprights differentiate in main uprights and in link-anchoring uprights alternatively positioned in the grate.
  • the slides of the link-anchoring uprights are not affected by any vertical movement during the opening and closing of the grate, while the slides of the main uprights glide vertically on the relative rods.
  • the lower rod of each upright is provided with a registrable stop of the relative slide.
  • the stops associated with the link-anchoring bars are initially fixed to a predetermined height of the bars so as to provide a means for accommodating the grate to the opening.
  • the stops associated with the main bars are fixed to a predetermined height of the bars so as to determine the spacing between the uprights.
  • each upright is not formed of a single part rather in three elements, a lower and an upper rod and a slide, which are not able to give sufficient solidity and mechanical fluency to the same grate.
  • a further disadvantage lies in the fact that the slides of the uprights are vertically movable and consequently are also movable the pins in which are pivoted the transversal connection bars, so that the whole grate is hinged too much and than it is structurally labile and not much steady.
  • the grate has two type of vertical uprights which are functionally different and have various heights at a loss of aesthetical effect of the whole grate.
  • the subject grate allows eliminates such disadvantages as, even if it is gliding, it is much close and hardy and it does not require any housing space in the wall, nor frequent maintenance operations.
  • the grate is formed by a series of uprights, made of particular aluminium section bars, having inside elements for anti-cut reinforcement and gliding slides for connection of the transversal bars, that allow to distance or draw near one to another the vertical uprights, in order to cover or free almost completely the opening.
  • reference numeral 1 indicates a perimetric frame including an inferior guide 4 and a superior guide 5 whose ends are linked by respective vertical rods; with 2 are indicated the vertical uprights, which are structurally the same wholly extending between the guides 4 and 5: for instance these uprights are made of particular aluminium sec tion bars; while numeral 3 indicates the connection bars of the uprights.
  • the uprights can be moved by gliding along the guides 4 and 5, since these guides are as their drives and supports.
  • section bars 2 constituting the uprights are internally supplied with anti-cut round bars 7 that, are able to rotate and prevent the saw teeth from gripping and removing the metal.
  • Numeral 9 indicates internal uprights slides that can glide longitudinally with low friction thanks to wheels 10 with which they are equipped.
  • connection bars 3 have one end pivoted to the slides 9 in 11 and the other end crossed by the gudgeon 12, integral with the section bar.
  • the slides 9 In order to make possible to vary the inclination of the connection bars 3, that is necessary for drawing close or spacing out the uprights 2, the slides 9 have the slots 13 corresponding to the fixed gudgeons 12.
  • connection bars 3 When the grate is extended, the connection bars 3 assume a less inclined position, in order to cover the distance between one vertical rod and another: each bar rotates on the fixed pin 12 and determines, with the other end, the slope of the relative slide 9, until it reaches the ledge of the stop 14, fig. 4.
  • This ledge is constituted by a registrable screw which inserts in the correspondent threaded hole of the body 15, blocked inside the section bar 2 by means of the screw 16.
  • the registrable ledges 14, by limiting the slope of the slides 9 allow to maintain constant the distance between the uprights 2 of the grate, irrespective of the width of the opening to protect.
  • the additional security elements constituted, for instance, by steel nails 17, put on the bodies 15, that in such a case will be fastened to section bars by screws with gauged resistance that shear in case of an elevated pressure toward the bottom of the slides 9.
  • the number of the vertical rods and transversal connection bars, subdivided in two or more raws, can vary according to the dimensions of the opening to protect.
  • the invention can be applied to grates which do not include uprights but horizontal down and up moving bars, connected to each other in the same way as described above.
  • each connection bar indeed, has an end pivoted to an upright by means of a pin fixed to the same upright.
