Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a section member assembly, particularly designed for making book and sliding main doors.
  • the document DE-A-3 525 717 discloses a section member assembly substantially according to the preamble of the main claim.
  • the main object of the present invention is to overcome the above mentioned problems, by providing a section member assembly, specifically designed for making book and sliding main doors, which assembly comprises section members specifically designed for allowing a quick and easy assembly, so as to also provide main doors with great spans and heights.
  • a main object of the present invention is to provide such a section member assembly the section members of which allow to easily and quickly make industrial closures which can be specifically constructed both in a manually operated embodiment and in a motor operated embodiment and which further allow a lot of fittings to be applied thereto.
  • Another object of the present invention is to provide such a section member assembly the section members of which are provided with a very good mechanical and athmospheric corrosion strength thereby providing a main frame which is very reliable in operation.
  • a section member assembly specifically designed for making book and sliding main doors, according to the main claim.
  • the section member assembly for making book and sliding main doors comprises fixed frame upright section members, indicated at the reference number 1, and wing upright section members, indicated at the reference number 2 in Figure 6; moreover, wing cross-section members are provided, indicated at the reference number 3, as well as middle cross section members indicated at the reference number 4.
  • hinge elements which are clearly shown in Figure 1, comprising a block element 10, which can be engaged in a seat provided in a related upright, 1 or 2, and being provided with a threaded hole 11 therein is engaged a threaded dowel 12 having a penetration point 13.
  • the point portion 13 is caused to abut against the bottom of the seat and, moreover, the block element 10 is locked against the size or legs of said seat, thereby providing a very safe locking thereof, since the abutting of the point 13 against the bottom of the seat will prevent the block element 10 from sliding.
  • leg 15 of a hinge element As shown, with the block element 10 there is engaged the leg 15 of a hinge element, generally indicated at the reference number 16, which leg extends from a cylindric body 17 in which is housed the pivot pin.
  • the leg 15 can be affixed to the block element 10 by means of bolts, or screws, 18 passing through holes of the leg 15 and engaging in threaded seats or recesses 20 correspondingly formed on the block element: thus, an accurate alocking is obtained.
  • anti-friction bush elements 21 each of which is provided with a flange 22 abutting on the axial end portion of the cylindric body, and with a cylindric mantle 23 engaging in the hollow of the cylindric body 17 and being provided with spoke elements 24 in turn engaging in grooves 25 correspondingly formed on the hollow portion of the cylindric body 17 in order to prevent the bush element from rotating.
  • Figure 3 illustrates an angle connection block, generally indicated at the reference number 30, which is formed by an extruded section member length and is provided with arms 30a and 30b which can be engaged in the corresponding hollow portions formed on the uprights and cross-members, indicated at the reference numbers 2 and 3, which must be connected to one another and, at the connection region, being cut at 45°.
