Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a preassembled roller shutter box with roller shutter for windows and door windows
  • the present invention relates to a roller shutter box with roller shutter in which the various elements consisting of the roller on which is wound the roller shutter and the related supporting means are previously assembled and positioned enbloc in the seat defined by the compartment above the window or door window.
  • a preassembled roller shutter box according to the preamble of claim 1 is known from FR-A-2550270.
  • This document describes a preassembled roller shutter box with roller shutter for windows and door windows comprising a tubular body having opposed extensions engaged at its ends and therein elastically constrained and pairs of means for housing and clamping each of the pins emerging from the extensions, wherein said means consist respectively of a metal plate with extended central opening and a flange of plastic material or equivalent engaged under pressure and elastically constrained along the peripheral edge of said opening projecting orthogonally away from the tubular body and, in a circular seat formed on said flange, there being housed and retained a bearing with front collar projecting towards the pins.
  • GB-A-2181475 describes a roller shutter box wherein the means for housing and clamping the pins emerging from the extensions consist of a single plate without flange.
  • the object of the present invention is to overcome the above shortcomings.
  • the object of the present invention is to provide a roller shutter box with roller shutter in which the various components are already assembled and are installed enbloc rapidly and easily in the window or door window opening at the designed height.
  • Another object of the present invention is to provide a preassembled roller shutter box with roller shutter capable of giving a high degree of reliability and resistance over time and also being easy and economical to produce.
  • a preassembled roller shutter box with a roller shutter for windows and door windows comprising:
  • the roller shutter box assembly of the present invention comprises a roller or shaft of aluminium or other suitable material on which is wound the roller shutter, which is not shown.
  • Said roller is of known type and is formed of a tubular body 10, e.g. with octagonal cross section, in the opposing heads of which is engaged an extension 12 of limited length having analogous cross section and front end 12' slighted tapered to facilitate the above mentioned engagement.
  • At least one of the extensions 12 is provided with an elastic projecting spring 14 designed to be compressed during insertion of the extension in the body 10 and to project therefrom after insertion through a slot 16 formed therein.
  • This solution permits easy removal of the roller by known procedures from roller shutter boxes of conventional type to perform e.g. maintenance operations with no need of operations on the roller supports.
  • the extensions 12 are provided on the end opposite that of engagement in the body 10 with a plate or head 18 from which projects along the longitudinal axis a pin 20. Said pin is short and constitutes the element for connection of the above mentioned roller with the opposed end supports as set forth below.
  • each of said supports consists of a plate 22 and a flange 24 which are coupled together and made integral with the pins 20 emerging from the extensions 12 of the body 10.
  • the plate 22 or containment plate for the flange 24 is preferably achieved in galvanised sheet metal and has a substantially quadrangular shape with bevelled corners, upper 26 and lower 28 peripheral edges bent outward at 90° and side edges 30, 32 bent 90° in opposite directions.
  • the inward or outward bending of the peripheral edges forms along the perimeter of the plate 22 the same number of slightly projecting tabs. This bending is limited to the horizontal portion of each side of said plate while the bevelled parts of the corners are excluded.
  • the upper edge 26 is bent outward, i.e.
  • the slot 38 extends from one end of said edge nearly to the opposite end to divide said edge in two parallel strips connected together.
  • the outermost of the strips, indicated by reference number 40, can be moved away from the plate 22 and directed entirely or partly at various angles outward or vertically.
  • the strip 40 of the upper edge 26 has at its free end a hole 42.
  • the plate 22 has in a central position an extended quadrangular opening 34 delimited peripherally by an edge 36. Said edge extends orthogonally outward for a limited distance towards the upper 26 and lower 28 edges of said plate.
  • the edge 36 of the opening 34 defines a continuous projecting frame which, at least on two opposing sides, has a slot 44, e.g.
  • Said flange 24 consists of a nylon or equivalent plate and has a shape complementary to that of the opening 34 in the plate 22.
  • the flange 24 has at least on two opposite sides an elastic projection formed by a tooth 46 designed to engage and connect with the corresponding slot 44 in the edge 36 in which it is inserted.
  • a slight lowering 48 extending longitudinally which forms a striker on the edge 36 of the opening 34.
  • the flange 24 is provided with a longitudinal milling 48' which receives at least partly the corresponding base of the edge 36 of the opening 34.
  • the flange 24 has a central circular opening 50 in which is engaged under pressure and elastically constrained a ball bearing or equivalent 52.
  • the opening 50 is provided with two or more opposing elastic teeth 54 formed on the inside of the flange 24.
  • said opening defines an annular seat 56 for stopping the bottom portion of said bearing which, towards its own front part, bears an integral bush 58 whose inside diameter corresponds to that of the pin 20 excepting mating tolerances.
  • On the bush 58 is achieved radially a threaded hole which receives a set screw 60 designed to stop said pin.
  • Said devices consisting e.g. of pulleys for the operating belt, winches, electric motors or equivalent can be made integral with either of the above mentioned flanges before connection thereof to the other components consisting of the plates 22 and shutter roller.
  • FIG. 2 shows diagramatically an alternative and simplified embodiment of the roller shutter box of the present invention.
  • the opposing shutter roller supports formed by the telescopic extensions 12 engaged in the roller heads consist of a single element or plate 22'.
  • the latter is preferably achieved in galvanised sheet metal and formed of a substantially quadrangular body with bevelled corners, upper 26' and lower 28' edges bent 90° away from said shutter roller and side edges 30' and 32' bent 90° in opposite directions.
  • Said bends form along the perimeter of the plate 22' in the unbevelled portions the same number of slightly projecting tabs.
  • Both the upper 26' and lower 28' edges are bent away from the shutter roller and have a long narrow slot 38' preferably achieved along the longitudinal axis and extending from one end of each edge to the portion near the opposite end.
  • the above mentioned slots divide the respective projecting edges 26' and 28' in two parallel strips the outermost 40' of which can be moved away from the plate 22' and directed entirely or partly outward at various angles or vertically. Near its free end each strip 40' has a hole 42'.
  • the plate 22' has in a central position a circular seat 50' for a ball bearing analogous to that arranged in the flange 24 of the embodiment described above.
  • Said circular seat is delimited peripherally by a series of holes and recesses 62', 64' for constraint of the roller shutter operating devices.
  • roller shutter box of the present invention Given the structure of the elements forming the roller shutter box of the present invention it can be easily and rapidly assembled before installation in the window or door window opening.
  • the bearing 52 is engaged under pressure in the circular opening 50 of the flange 24 and strikes against the annular bottom seat 56 and is clamped in position by the elastic teeth 54.
  • the flange 24 is in turn inserted under pressure in the opening 34 formed in the plate 22.
  • the teeth 46 created on the flange and initially compressed upon meeting the edge 36 expand and butt in the corresponding openings 44 formed along said edge.
  • the final connection between the plate 22 incorporating the flange 24 and the bearing 52 and the extensions 12 of the tubular body 10 which form the shutter roller is achieved by tightening of the set screws 60 arranged radially in each of the collars 58 which protrude from the front of said bearings. In said collars are previously engaged the pins 20 of the extensions 12 of the tubular body 10.
  • FIG. 2 a ball bearing identical to the bearing 52 of FIG. 1 is engaged under pressure in the circular seat 50' of the plate 22' and is held in position by elastic teeth or equivalent means of retention not shown.
  • the pins (20) emerging from the extensions 12 of the shutter roller are engaged in the corresponding collars protruding from the front of said bearings having a set screw which tightens on said pins.
  • roller shutter box as set forth above in the proposed embodiments can advantageously be completely assembled before installation thereof in the window or door window opening with considerable resulting savings of time and extreme ease.
  • the rolling shutter can also be arranged and constrained in advance.
  • Even the handling elements, pulleys, winches or motors can be made integral with one of the flanges 24 or the plate 22' in advance and constrained with screws or equivalent means in the holes and/or recesses 62, 64, or 62', 64'.
  • the upper edge 26 or both the upper 26' and lower 28' edges of the above mentioned plates constitute during installation of the roller shutter box an anchoring element because the strips 40 and 40' of the edges can be bent partially or entirely in different directions and later constrained by means of a generic screw inserted in the end holes 42, 42' to a metal or wood frame or support incorporated or emerging from the masonry which defines the window or door window opening.
  • roller shutter box as a whole is extremely compact and can be entirely assembled rapidly and easily before installation in the upper part of the window or door window opening incorporating also the rolling shutter and related operating elements.
  • Particularly advantageous is direct permanent coupling of the tubular body 10 with extensions 12 to the opposed flanges 24 and said flanges to the respective containment plates 22 or said body 10 with extension 12 to the plate 22'.
