Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a device for protecting body parts, such as fingers, during opening and closing of a garage door, assembly for a garage door comprising this device and to a method for providing such an assembly for a garage door or the like.
  • Garage doors of the type comprising panels joined to each other by means of a hinge are known. These doors can be opened and closed by pushing them upwards and pulling them downwards respectively, whereby the door runs in a guide rail arranged in the garage opening.
  • body parts in particular fingers
  • Such garage doors are provided with finger protection profiles, which profiles fill the area between the panels, arising on opening and closing of the garage door.
  • An object of the present invention is to provide a device yielding an alternative solution to this problem.
  • Such a device can be simply arranged between the panels of existing garage doors. This yields the advantage that instead of completely replacing a garage door in order to obviate the problem of trapping one's fingers between the panels thereof, a profile device according to the present invention can be simply inserted between the panels of existing garage doors.
  • an assembly for a garage door which is suitable for opening and closing by respectively pushing upwards, pulling downwards with the aid of a runner/rail system, wherein the assembly comprises a first panel joined at an end thereof by means of one or more hinges to a second panel, and a separate protecting profile device as described above, which is pre-arrangeable between the ends of the first and second door panels in the vicinity of the hinge, so that any space arising between the panels is sealable.
  • the assembly comprises a profile protecting device arrangeable according to the wishes of the user, this can be arranged in order to meet specific desires.
  • the two resulting panel halves are preferably symmetric with each other.
  • the user can determine which surface of the panel can be used as the outer or inner surface of the garage door.
  • the assembly preferably comprises an extension at one end of the first panel which corresponds with a recess on the second panel, wherein the protection profile device is preferably arranged on the extension of the first panel. This provides an effective protection.
  • the assembly further preferably comprises securing means for securing the protection profile device, and draft prevention means, for preventing any possible draft from passing through openings between the panels, in order to reduce draft in a garage for example.
  • a method for yielding an assembly suitable for a garage door or the like, which garage door is built up from a number of panels mutually joined together by means of a hinge wherein the method comprises the steps of transporting a number of pre-made hingeably, joinable panels from the panel maker to the panel supplier, and arranging one or more independent protection profile devices between the hingeably, joinable panels, either at the supplier, or at the user destination.
  • Known garage door assemblies are built up from hingeable, mutually joinable panels, wherein one integral end of a panel has such a form that this serves as a finger protection profile, which fills the space arising between panels with respect to each other, when these are rotated about the hinge.
  • a disadvantage of these known garage doors comprising such panels, is that the first panel must be prefabricated with an integral finger protection profile at the panel maker's, and joined to the second panel before they are transported to the garage door supplier. Accordingly, when a supplier does not have a garage door in stock, which meets the particular requirements of a client, a new supply of preassembled garage doors must be ordered by the maker, wherein these must often be made according to the specific wishes of the client.
  • an independent protection profile device can be arranged between the panels by the garage door supplier.
  • the client then only needs to choose the desired type of panel, i.e. considering the desired door finish for the inner and outer surfaces of the garage door, whereafter the protection profile can be arranged between the panels.
  • a client friendly, efficient and simple method is provided, taking into consideration that a new order by the maker of certain garage doors in order to meet specific desires of the client, is no longer necessary, since these doors can now be assembled together with finger protection profiles at the site of the garage door supplier.
  • the hingeably, joinable panels can be joined together by the supplier or at the user destination of the garage door. This provides the client with a large amount of flexibility according to his or her wishes.
  • a garage comprising the above garage door assembly.
  • a sectional garage door comprises a first panel 2, joined by means of a hinge 4 to a second corresponding panel 6 (figures 1, 2).
  • the second panel 6 has a recess 8 which is coupleable with an extension 10 of the first panel 2 in a closed position of the door (see figure 1).
  • Such a space 12 can be extremely dangerous if fingers are caught up herein during the opening and closing of the garage door.
  • An assembly 14 (see figures 3 and 4) according to the present invention comprises such a first panel 2, a second panel 6 and a hinge 4.
  • a finger protection profile 16 is arranged on the extension 10 of the first panel 2, in order to seal off the area 12 which arises on rotation of the panels 2 and 6 around the hinge 4 (see figure 4).
  • These panels 2, 6 consist of a steel outer plate 18 and a steel inner plate 19, separated by means of a hard foam spacing layer 37 (see figures 5, 6).
  • These plates 18, 19 can be provided with a protective zinc layer, a protective foil layer or any desired finish.
  • FIG. 13 A perspective view of a preferred embodiment of the protection profile 16 is shown in figure 13.
  • the profile 16 has a substantially convex front face 35, an under face 38, and a rear face 21.
  • a first lip 20 is integral with the front face 35 and a second, larger lip 22 is integral with the rear face 21.
  • This preferred embodiment of the device is made from extruded, hard synthetic material, but it will be clear that the profile can be made of other materials such as zinced steel, aluminium or any such like material.
  • the profile according to the present invention can also be provided with a recess 24 in the rear face 21, wherein a rubber draft excluder 36 is mounted.
  • the first and the second lips 20, 22 respectively are glued to the extension 10 in the embodiment as shown in figure 7.
  • the second lip 22 can be screwed onto this extension 10 (figure 8) .
  • the bottom surface is provided with a profile extension 26 which extends into the foam layer 37 of the panel 2.
  • a profile extension 26 which extends into the foam layer 37 of the panel 2.
  • Both the hinge 4 and the profile extension 26 are secured to the panel 2 by means of a screw 28 which extends through the hinge 4, the inner plate 19, the foam layer 37 and the profile extension 26.
  • FIG. 10 Another embodiment of the profile according to the present invention (figure 10) is made from two zinced steel bent plates 30, 32, joined together, wherein the draft excluder 34 is made from a self-adhesive sealing tape 34.
  • the draft extruder 34 is glued to the profile.
  • FIG. 14 A preferred embodiment of the assembly and device according to the present invention is shown in figures 14 and 15.
  • a first panel 50 tapers at one end thereof to form an extension 52.
  • a hinge 54 is mounted on an inner shoulder 56 of the first panel 50.
  • a first panel plate 58 extends from the hinge 54 along the first panel 50.
  • a second panel plate 60 extends from the hinge 54 along a second panel 62.
  • the hinge 54 is joined to the panels 50, 62 respectively by means of screws 64, 66 respectively.
  • the first and second panels 50, 62 are filled with hard foam 68.
  • Inner contours 70 of the extension 52 extend back into this hard foam layer 68 of the first panel 50. Between these two depending contours 70 of the extension 52, there is a channel 74 arranged in the hard foam layer 68.
  • a finger protection profile 76 is arranged on the extension 52.
  • This preferred embodiment of the finger protection profile according to the present invention has roughly the same form as that shown in figure 13, but is provided at an underface 78 thereof with a securing extension 80, which extends in the hard foam layer channel 74, in order to secure the profile 76 to the first panel 50.
  • the securing extension 80 is furthermore provided with fastening ribs 82, 84 respectively to provide a good fastening thereof in said channel 74.
  • the screw 64 passes through the first panel plate 58, into the first panel 50 and through the depending contours 70 of the extension 52, the hard foam layer channel 74 and the securing extension 80.
  • a rear face 85 of the profile 76 is provided with an opening 86 wherein a draft extruder 88 is secured.
  • This draft extruder has a form in profile akin to that of a baby's dummy, wherein a tip 90 thereof is partially hollow in order to yield flexibility thereof.
  • the second panel 62 is provided with a recess 92 which is formed by the edges of the second panel 62 being turned back in on themselves to form two appendages 94, 96, a mouth 98 which is formed by the two appendages being sealed off by the hard foam layer 68.
