Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a composite panel for building multi-panel sliding-folding doors.
  • doors or gates comprising a plurality of self-supporting panels that are pivotally jointed together along their edges and slidable on wheels along a pair of guide rails that extend parallel to both the edges of the opening to be closed and the ceiling.
  • the panels of the known multi-panel sliding-folding doors are coplanar both when the door is fully closed and when it is fully opened, while changing their mutual positions when passing from a condition to the other and viceversa. Therefore, they are subjected to a first rotation about a common pivot axis and then to a second rotation in the opposite direction with the angle formed between two adjacent panels that can be as great as 45° and greater.
  • the edges of two jointed panels are moved apart when the door is driven from the coplanar condition to the angled condition, and then the opposite movement brings again the edges nearer to each other, with similar danger for the user.
  • the object of the present invention is to provide a panel for use in building multi-panel doors of the sliding-folding type that does not require the use of applied hinges and that meets the present provisions concerning accident prevention by effectively preventing the accidental crushing of the user's finger between the panels.
  • a panel for building multi-panel sliding-folding doors comprising an intermediate member provided with an elongated male member and an elongated female member engaging a female member and a male member of two adjacent panels, respectively, characterized in that:
  • the composite panel according to the invention for building multi-panel sliding-folding doors or gates is indicated as a whole at 2.
  • the panel comprises an intermediate member 4 made up by two painted metal sheets 6, 8 with a layer 10 of insulating high density polyurethan material sandwiched therebetween that impart a high insulation to the panel.
  • the panel further comprises two elongated members, preferably of extruded aluminum, located and secured on the two opposed lateral edges of the panel 2 and extending substantially the length thereof that are adapted for engagement with corresponding members on the adjacent panels.
  • the panel is provided with an elongated male member 12 and an elongated female member 14, respectively, that are to be pivotally connected to a corresponding female member 14' and a male member 12' of two adjacent panels.
  • the male member 12 is formed on its inner side (i.e. the one facing the inner side in the door) with a projection 16 embedded in the layer 10 of insulating material, and with a recess or seat 18 for engaging a folded edge 20 of the inner sheet 6.
  • the male member 12 is further provided with an arcuate or curved portion 22, and with a pawl-shaped portion 26 having a curved outer wall 28. Both curved portions 22, 28 have the shape of arcs of circle with their centers of curvature coincident and located on the axis 25 of a cylindrical sleeve 24 integral with the male member 12.
  • the base or root of the portion 26 is connected with one end of a flat portion 30 forming the visible surface of the male member in the coplanar condition, the other end of which forms a recess 32 similar to the recess 18 for engaging a folded edge 20' of the outer sheet 8.
  • a projection 16' is formed near the recess 32 and is embedded in the layer 10 of insulating polyurethan material.
  • the female member 14 is provided in the portion facing the intermediate member 4 with two recesses 34, 34' for engaging the corresponding folded edges of adjacent sheets 6, 8, and with a flat portion 36 having a curved inwardly projection or craddle 38 the shape of which is substantially complementary to outer surface of the sleeve 24.
  • the inner flat portion 36 of the female member is further provided with a tab formed with a recess 40 for housing a dust-proof insert 42, substantially in contact with the curved portion 22 of the male member and rubbing against said curved portion when this latter is rotated in respect of the former.
  • the tab of the inner flat portion 36 is further provided with a stopping block 44 in which a grub screw 46 can be screwed for rotatably retaining the sleeve 24 between the curved projection 38 and said stopping block 44. More precisely, the grub screw 46 retains the insert or stopping block 44 which is kept in contact with said sleeve 24 for preventing the radial disengagement of the sleeve from the projection 38 of the female member 14 after the male and female members have been radially coupled together.
  • the outwardly facing flat portion of the female member 14 is coplanar with the outer sheet 8 of panel 4, and is formed with a curved reinforcing rib 48 in form of arc of circle whose center of curvature coincides with the two above mentioned centers of curvature.
  • the panel according to the invention is further provided with wheels (not shown in the drawings) at the upper and lower end thereof, that allow the sliding of the panel along the guide rails mounted in the door frame (both not shown).
  • wheels not shown in the drawings
  • the adjacent panels rotate in respect of each other about a vertical axis coincident with the axis 25 of the sleeve 24. Since the pivoting axis of the sleeve coincides with the axis on which the centers of curvature of the portions 28, 48 and 22 are located, any accidental trapping of the user's fingers between the edges of two adjacent panels is effectively prevented.
  • the male member 12 When the door is in a closed condition and any two adjacent panels are coplanar (as shown in Fig. 1), the male member 12 is housed in the chamber or space defined by the flat portions of the female member 14' that are visible from inside and outside.
  • the panel of the invention accomplishes the following advantages in respect of the conventional panels for building multi-panel sliding-folding doors:

  1. Panneau servant à la fabrication de portes pliantes et coulissantes à panneaux multiples, ledit panneau comprenant un élément intermédiaire (4) muni d'un élément mâle de forme allongée (12) et d'un élément femelle de forme allongée (14) qui sont en prise respectivement avec un élément femelle (14') et un élément mâle (12') de deux panneaux adjacents, caractérisé en ce que :
    ledit élément intermédiaire (4) est constitué de deux feuilles métalliques (6,8) avec une couche (10) de matériau isolant pris en sandwich entre eux,
    ledit élément mâle (12) présente une partie incurvée (22) et une partie en forme de cliquet (26) ayant une paroi extérieure incurvée (28), ces deux parties étant reliées à un manchon cylindrique (24), ladite partie incurvée et ladite paroi (22, 28) ayant toutes les deux la forme d'arcs de cercle dont les centres de courbure coïncident et sont situés sur l'axe (25) dudit manchon cylindrique (24),
    ledit élément femelle (14) présente une partie incurvée en saillie vers l'intérieur (38) dont la forme est essentiellement complémentaire de la surface extérieure dudit manchon (24) qui repose en rotation sur ladite partie en saillie (38) et est retenu par un moyen de blocage (46) appliqué à une partie plate (36) dudit élément femelle (14), sur une patte essentiellement en contact avec, et frottant contre, ladite partie incurvée (22) de l'élément mâle (12) lorsqu'on fait tourner ce dernier (12) par rapport au précédent (14), ledit élément femelle (14) étant muni sur la face opposée à celle portant la partie incurvée (38) d'une nervure renforçatrice incurvée (48) ayant la forme d'un arc de cercle dont le centre de courbure est situé sur l'axe dudit manchon (24).
