Definitions

  • the invention relates to a turning device for overhead sectional doors as set out in the first part of claim 1.
  • the object of the present invention is to overcome the above disadvantage by means as simple and cheap as possible.
  • a turning device which according to the invention is characterized in that the lever arm means comprise a sprocket wheel and a lever arm immovably mounted in connection with the sprocket wheel, one end of the lever arm being articulated to the lower end of the drive arm.
  • the invention is based on positive control of the uppermost panel by means of the uppermost roller or rollers, for which power is supplied by the relative movement of the door and the door frame structure in the initial phase of the door lifting movement and the final phase of the door closing movement.
  • the turning device forces the uppermost panel to turn as soon as the lifting movement starts, and to move along the same path but in the opposite direction when the door is closed.
  • the main advantage of the invention is that the required extra height in the building becomes insignificant, because the required extra height is very small compared with the prior art.
  • the turning device can be included in the normal door delivery, if desired, or it can be installed later, also in existing sectional doors of the type described above.
  • the turning device is arranged at both edges of the door and in such a way that the lever arm means are mounted in bearings in connection with the outermost hinge between the two uppermost panels and preferably coaxially with the roller located at that point.
  • the overhead sectional door shown in Figure 1 comprises four adjacent horizontal panels 1 interarticulated by hinges 2a, 2b and 2c, and rollers 3 fitted to the outermost hinges 2c of the panels 1 in the vicinity of the upper and lower edges of the door in the same vertical planes as the rollers on the outermost hinges.
  • the mounting of the uppermost rollers 3 differs from the mounting of the other rollers 3 in that they are attached to the uppermost panel 1 by means of turning arms 4 (see e.g. Figure 2).
  • the rollers 3 are intended to move along a rail 5 on each side of the door.
  • Both rails comprise a vertical portion 5a attached to a vertical part 6 of the door jamb or the like, a horizontal portion 5b attached to the ceiling of the garage or the like substantially at the height of the upper edge of the door, and a bent portion 5c connecting the vertical and horizontal portions 5a and 5b.
  • FIGS 2 and 3 show in detail one preferred turning device according to the invention, which can be arranged on either side or both sides of the door shown in Figure 1.
  • the turning device comprises lever arm means 7 mounted in bearings in connection with the outermost hinge 2c between the two uppermost panels 1, coaxially with the roller 3 located at that point; means for positive control 8 fixedly mounted in connection with the rail portion 5a and adapted to contact the lever arm means 7 a predetermined length near the initial opening and final closing position of the door; and a drive arm 9 disposed between the lever arm means 7 and the arm 4 of the uppermost roller 3.
  • the lever arm means 7 comprise a sprocket wheel 7a mounted in bearings coaxially with the uppermost roller and a lever arm 7b immovably mounted in connection with the sprocket wheel, one end of the lever arm being articulated to the lower end of the drive arm 9.
  • the means for positive control 8 comprise a vertical chain-like piece with horizontal spaced-apart studs 8a cooperating with the sprocket wheel 7a.
  • the upper end of the drive arm 9 is in turn articulated to the arm 4 of the roller 3 by means of an auxiliary arm 4a fastened thereto.
  • step a) the door is closed, the lever arm means 7 are in the lowermost position and the roller 3 is halfway on the bent portion 5c of the rail 5.
  • step b) the door has been lifted approximately 20 mm, the sprocket wheel 7a of the lever arm means 7 has turned by the action of the means for positive control 8 approximately to the midpoint of its path, the drive arm 9 has pushed the arm 4 midway between its extreme positions, and the roller 3 is ascending from the bent portion 5c of the rail to the horizontal portion 5b, and the uppermost panel 1 has turned approximately 15°.
  • step c) the door has been lifted approximately 40 mm, whereby the sprocket wheel 7a is becoming detached from connection with the means for positive control 8, the arm 4 has turned into its other extreme position and the roller 3 has reached the horizontal portion 5b of the rail, the uppermost panel 1 being thereafter free from the positive control of the turning device as the lifting movement is continued.
  • the turning device guides the uppermost panel 1 down along the same path as described above, back into the position of step a).
  • the second preferred embodiment of the turning device shown in Figures 5 and 6 differs from the device according to Figures 2 and 3 primarily in that the lever arm means 7' comprise a lever arm, one end of which is articulated to the lower end of the drive arm 9 and the other end cooperates with the means for positive control 8' which comprise a groove for positive control 8a'.
  • the means for positive control 8' is formed of a cup-like piece open at the top and one side of said means is open, thus forming said groove for positive control 8a'.
  • the auxiliary arm 4a' of the uppermost roller has also a slightly different shape from that shown in Figures 2 and 3.
  • this second turning device is described step by step in Figure 7 a) to c). These steps correspond with the steps in Figure 4, except that in this case positive control of the lever arm means 7' is provided by the groove 8a' of the means for positive control 8'. Herein the other end of the lever arm means 7' is detached from and connected to the means for positive control at the open upper end thereof.
  • lever arm means can be formed by means of a sprocket wheel only, and the means for positive control cooperating with the sprocket wheel can be formed as a vertical piece with toothing.
  • the number of door panels and the other details can vary as well.
