Definitions

  • the present invention relates to motorized overhead swinging doors for garages and the like, of the known type comprising: a fixed support frame, including two side vertical guides, two side supports, movable within said side guides, a door structure, swingably mounted around a horizontal axis on said side supports and also connected to the fixed frame by two pivoted side arms, a pair of counterweights, slidably along a vertical direction within said fixed frame and each connected to a respective one of said side supports by cable means re-directed over a respective upper pulley having a fixed axis, and an engine unit for driving the door.
  • the object of the present invention is that of providing a motorized overhead swinging door which has a very simple and economic structure and which at the same time is efficient in operation and reliable.
  • a further object of the invention is that of providing a device for motorzing overhead swinging doors which is simple and economic and may be adapted with a few and simple operations on doors which originally are not provided with a motorizing device.
  • the invention provides a motorized overhead swinging door of the type which has been indicated above, characterized in that at least one of said counterweights is connected to the respective side support both, on the upper side, by said cable means, and, on the lower side, by chain means which form an endless ring with said cable means, said chain means being re-directed around a respective lower wheel, said engine unit being arranged to drive said lower wheel.
  • the invention allows a dramatic reduction in the costs and complexity of the motorizing device with respect to the solutions provided up to now, and further ensures a very high reliability and easiness of mantainence.
  • the invention is applicable to any type of overhead swinging door, also with a different balancing arrangement and for any use (for a garage or others).
  • the above described arrangement may be adopted on one side only or on both sides of the door.
  • the door according to the invention is further characterized in that it includes a bolt device driven by a solenoid for locking the door in the closed condition.
  • the bolt device includes a bolt carried by the fixed frame and a coupling element for cooperation with the bolt carried by the door, said bolt being elastically biassed into its closed position and being movable towards the opened position by solenoid control means.
  • this coupling elements can be retracted towards a bolt disengaging position by a manually operable mechanism, so as to allow the opening of the door in case of an interruption of supply to the solenoid control means.
  • Said manually operable mechanism includes a key - operable latch and may be the conventional mechanism with which any non-motorized overhead swinging door is provided.
  • the invention obviously also provides the motorizing device per se , which can be adapted on a overhead swinging door which is not originally provided with a motorized device.
  • the essential features of this device are indicated in the annexed claim 13.
  • reference numeral 1 generally designates an overhead swinging door according to the prior art, which is not provided with a motorizing device.
  • the door 1 comprises a door structure 2 swingably mounted around a horizontal axis on two side supports 3 which are movable in two vertical side guides 4 forming parts of the fixed frame of the door.
  • the closed vertical position of the door is shown by undotted line, whereas by dotted lines there are indicated the opended horizontal position and an intermediate position.
  • the door is also connected to the fixed structure by two side arms 5 each pivoted in 6 to the fixed structure.
  • the opposed end 7 of each arms is pivoted to the door 2 and is therefore constrained to move along a circular path 8.
  • Each side support 3 is also connected to a respective counterweight 9 by a metal cable 13 which is re-directed around an upper pulley 10 freely rotatably mounted on the fixed structure around a horizontal axis 11.
  • the door 1 is also provided, in the usual way, with a handle 21 for the manual opening and closing operation, as well as with a key - operable latch for locking the door in the closed position.
  • a door of the type of figure 1 is motorized simply by connecting at least one of the two side supports 3 to the respective conunterweight 9 by a chain 12 of rollers which forms an endless ring with cable 13.
  • the chain 12 is in engagement with a lower pulley 14, having an axis 15 parallel to the axis of the upper pulley 10.
  • the puller 13 is mounted on the output schaft of a motor and reducing gear unit 16, including an electric motor and a screw-wheel reducing unit, for example of the type used for driving electric car windows.
  • the motor and reducing unit can have a low power. Activation thereof in either direction cause the lowering or raising respectively of counterweights 9 and consequential opening or closing of the door.
  • FIG 2 shows also a bolt device 17 for locking the door in its closed condition.
  • This devices comprises a bolt 18 driven by a solenoid, which is visible in an enlarged scale in figure 4.
  • the inner construction details of this device are not shown since they can be of any known type.
  • the device 17 is mounted on the fixed structure over the door.
  • the bolt 18 cooperates with a coupling element 19 carried by the door in order to lock the latter in the closed position.
  • the bolt is biassed by spring means (not shown) into the position engaging element 18 and can be desengaged from the latter by a solenoid control device of the type usually used in electric door latches.
  • the coupling element 19 is not mounted in fixed position on the door 2, and can be moved away from engagement with the bolt by a mechanism 20 with a handle 21 provided with a key - operable latch. Thus, it is possible to open the door where the latter is locked and an interruption of supply has occurred.
  • the handle may be that usually provided in all non-motorized overhead doors.
  • the door according to the invention is preferably provided with a safety device of any known type, as a friction coupling on the schaft of the motor and reducing unit or with a device for controlling the current absorbtion of the motor, in order to protect the system and as a safety measure in case anything prevents the movement of the door.
  • a safety device of any known type, as a friction coupling on the schaft of the motor and reducing unit or with a device for controlling the current absorbtion of the motor, in order to protect the system and as a safety measure in case anything prevents the movement of the door.
  • this device is preferably of the type which allows the maximum transmissable torque to be adjusted.
