Definitions

  • the present invention relates to an automatically-orientating actuation pushbutton for automatic draft stoppers.
  • the invention further relates to a draft stopper which includes the pushbutton.
  • Draft stoppers can be applied to the leaves of door frames. These draft stoppers are fitted to the lower edge of the door so as to automatically close the gap with respect to the floor when the door is closed, in order to limit air passage and heat loss.
  • Conventional draft stoppers are essentially constituted by a fixed profiled member, which can be anchored to the lower edge of the door that faces the floor.
  • a profiled member is inserted in the fixed profiled member, is parallel thereto, is provided with a sealing member and can slide transversely with respect to the fixed profiled member.
  • a means is also provided for rigidly coupling the movable profiled member to the fixed one, and there is also a means for promoting the mutual translatory motion of the two profiled members, allowing the sealing member to produce a seal against the floor.
  • the translatory motion means is generally constituted by a pusher which is arranged inside the fixed profiled member, lies substantially parallel thereto, and is connected to the movable profiled member so as to convert its longitudinal motion into a transverse motion of the movable profiled member when closing or opening the door.
  • the pusher includes a rod with an actuation tip or pushbutton which protrudes from the lateral edge of the door and corporations with the doorjamb during closure in order to actuate the pusher.
  • a plate is generally nailed or screwed to the doorjamb and acts as an abutment which co-operates with the actuation pushbutton when the door is closed.
  • the actuation pushbutton despite having a generally rounded or chamfered shape, is monolithic with the rod of the pusher and therefore rigidly follows it as it moves. Accordingly, the pushbutton has no possibility of orientation upon interaction with the abutment plate fixed to the doorjamb, and this causes a certain resistance to the movement of the pusher as well as rough, noisy and ineffective operation of the translatory motion means.
  • Another drawback is constituted by the fact that the abutment plate and the corresponding nails or screws for fixing are rather small components and therefore must be supplied separately to the installer, packaging them in a specifically provided package whose contents must be specifically checked.
  • the aim of the present invention is to overcome the drawbacks of the prior art by providing an actuation pushbutton for a draft stopper which orientates itself automatically with respect to the doorjamb.
  • An object of the invention is to eliminate the need for any plate or contrast member for the actuation pushbutton to be fixed to the doorjamb.
  • a further object of the invention is to reduce production and installation costs of draft stoppers and of the corresponding members for fixing the accessories to be installed on the doorjamb.
  • a further object of the invention is to be able to retrofit an actuation pushbutton according to the invention to any existing draft stopper installed on a door.
  • a universal actuation pushbutton for automatic draft stoppers comprising a fixed profiled member, which can be anchored to the lower edge of a door, and a movable profiled member, which is slidingly connected to the fixed profiled member and is provided with a sealing means adapted to interact with the floor and a means for promoting the translatory motion of the movable profiled member with respect to the fixed profiled member caused by the closing action
  • the translatory motion means includes a pusher which is arranged inside the fixed profiled member in order to convert the longitudinal motion of the pusher into a transverse motion of the movable profiled member
  • the actuation pushbutton is arranged at the end of the pusher that protrudes from the lateral edge of the door in order to co-operate with the doorjamb, characterized in that the actuation pushbutton includes a sleeve for connection to the pusher and a pusher stud which is coupled to the
  • the universal joint includes a convex head which is rigidly coupled to the connecting sleeve and a concave seat which is rigidly coupled to the pusher stud or vice-versa.
  • the convex head and the concave seat have a preferably spherical complementary shape in order to allow full automatic orientation of the joint.
  • a draft stopper according to the invention is described with reference to the above figures; by way of nonlimitative example, the draft stopper corresponds to the one described and claimed in the Italian patent application No. VIA000000185, the contents of which are considered an integral part of the present application.
  • the draft stopper 1 includes a fixed profiled member 2, which has a substantially U-shaped transverse cross-section, and a movable profiled member 4, which also has a substantially U-shaped transverse cross-section and is slidingly inserted in the fixed profiled member 2 so that it can translate with respect to the fixed profiled member in a substantially transverse direction.
  • the fixed profiled member 2 can be connected to the door 3 by virtue of self-tapping preinstalled screws 5 which are inserted in a corresponding number of holes 6 formed in the upper horizontal band 2a of the profiled member 2, passing through holes 7 of the horizontal lower band of the fixed profiled member.
  • a rigid coupling means is provided which is constituted for example by a rigid linkage 8 whose ends are hinged to the respective profiled members 2 and 4 and by a traction spring 9 which is coupled to the points 10 and 11.
  • a sealing means for example a sealing member G acting against the floor P, is applied to the lower part of the movable profiled member 4.
  • An automatic translatory motion means adapted to act on the movable profiled member 4, is constituted by a pusher 12 which is adapted to convert its longitudinal motion into a transverse translatory motion of the profiled member 4 and of the sealing member G.
  • the pusher 12 can be formed by a substantially tubular body 13, an end of which is pivoted at 14 to the movable profiled member 4.
  • the tubular body 13 can have an axial hole 15 with a central cylindrical portion 16 having a reduced diameter, at the ends of which the respective abutment steps 17 and 18 are formed.
  • a smooth rod 19 can be arranged in the axial hole 15 and is obtained for example from a screw whose diameter is slightly smaller than the diameter of the cylindrical portion 16 of the hole 15 so that it can slide freely therein.
  • An actuation pushbutton is provided at the free end of the rod 19 and is generally designated by the reference numeral 20.
  • the pushbutton 20 comprises a sleeve 21, which is closed at one end and is internally threaded for connection to the rod 19 of the pusher 12, and a pusher stud 22 which is coupled to the sleeve 21 by means of an orientatable universal joint.
  • the universal joint is formed by a convex head 24 which is formed on the closed end of the sleeve 21 and by a concave seat 25 which is shaped complementarily and is formed in the body 26 of the pusher stud 22.
  • the shape of the convex head 24 and of the concave seat 25 is spherical in order to allow complete freedom of orientation of the joint.
  • the dimensions of the head 24 and of the seat 25 are chosen so as to allow mutual orientation of the two parts of the joint with minimal friction.
  • the seat 25 of the pusher stud 22 has a degree of elasticity which is sufficient to allow it to deform in order to receive the convex head 24 with a snap-action coupling.
  • the body 26 of the pusher stud 22 is provided with an end portion or face 27 which is substantially flat and is large enough to interact directly with the doorjamb without the aid of any plate or abutment member to be fixed by virtue of screws or nails.
  • the sleeve 21 has an internal thread 28 which can engage an external thread 29 which is formed on the end of the rod 19 which is part of the pusher 12.
  • the convex head 24 has, at its top, a slit or a hexagonal socket 30 to allow the access of a screwdriver or of an Allen wrench so as to adjust the axial position of the sleeve 21 on the rod 19 of the pusher.
  • the body 26 of the pusher stud 22 is provided with an axial through hole 31 which can be aligned by rotation with respect to the slit or hexagonal socket 30 for the passage of the screwdriver or screwing tool. In this way it is possible to adjust the axial position of the pushbutton 20 with respect to the pusher 12 without having to disassemble the draft stopper.
  • the spring 9 moves the movable profiled member 4 upward inside the fixed profiled member 2 until the end 30 of the rigid linkage 8 abuts against the fixed profiled member 2.
  • the pushbutton 20, and in particular the pusher stud 22, can also be provided with shapes other than the one shown. In particular, it can be shaped so that it is coupled to the end of the pushbutton of a pusher 12 which belongs to any conventional type of draft stopper.
  • the draft stopper according to the invention has an orientatable actuation pushbutton which allows more reliable, effective and silent operation with respect to known types of draft stopper.
  • the pusher stud with which the draft stopper according to the invention is provided can be retrofitted to known types of draft stopper in order to convert them into draft stoppers according to the invention.
