Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a movable garage door in a rack between a closed vertical position and a position markedly horizontal and vice versa and guided in its movement, on the one hand, by two articulated lateral connecting rods, by one from their ends, in the upper region of the bay and by the opposite end to the central region of the side edges of the door and, on the other hand, by two fixed vertical rails forming part of a door frame.
  • the invention is referred to as a garage door, it is stated at the outset that the invention is not limited to this type of door, but is just as suitable for industrial doors, business premises, ... etc., in short all the doors that are raised when opening.
  • the first door type is a door whose base, during the initial phase opening, is projected towards the outside of the bay until gradual recovery towards the horizontal and re-entry under the ceiling from the local.
  • the door pivots, in fact, around a virtual axis being about halfway up the door.
  • the fact that the base of the door is first projected outward is a troublesome drawback in the since when you open the door from the inside, you don't see if the space swept by the outside door is congested, for example by a car or if its operation is dangerous when people or children are outside in the path Door. Its projection towards the outside is also troublesome for its manual operation from the outside.
  • this type of door usually requires guide and support rails inside from the local.
  • the second type of door is guided by its base in rails vertical in the side uprights of the chassis.
  • the base of the door therefore rises vertically upon opening, while the upper side of the door penetrates substantially horizontally at inside the room until the door occupies a position almost horizontal.
  • the door pivots, in fact, around its base at the as it rises.
  • this door has the advantage that its lower part is not projected outward during its movement. Furthermore, when this door is properly supported and guided by connecting rods articulated on the vertical edges of the door it can do without guide and support rails inside the room.
  • this door by its movement, is very cumbersome inside the room.
  • the space swept by the type previous door outside is now inside.
  • This space corresponds approximately to the volume limited by the open and closed door positions and a passing oblique plane by the door bases in the closed position and in the open position. This is very inconvenient for manual operation of the door, especially if the person is tall.
  • this space is not available in a garage to house a certain car height and can prevent the door from operating when the trunk of the car is open.
  • Sectional doors are made up of several sections transverse or horizontally hinged panels with hinges. These doors suffer much less from the problems dimensions of the doors described above because they are not projected outwards and their different elements, moving and thanks to the flexions at the hinges are getting closer more from the top corner and, therefore, occupy as much less space inside the room than the number of elements is Student.
  • the object of the present invention is to provide a new door garage that does not have the disadvantages of known doors, that is to say a door with a space-saving movement which does not requires no guide rails and support.
  • the invention provides a door garage of the type described in the preamble which is characterized in that that the door consists of a rigid frame and a panel sectional consisting of at least two articulated sections horizontally between them, in that the frame and the panel are separate parts which are joined together only by their base lower by means of hinges, in that the two connecting rods are articulated by their lower end on the lateral uprights of the frame and that the panel is on the frame when the door is in the closed position and is separated from the frame when the door to be guided over at least two guide rollers supported by the two connecting rods.
  • the frame is moved like the doors tilting of the second type, while the movement of the panel corresponds to that of sectional doors.
  • the frame requires enough space for movement between position closed and open position, but this space is limited to both side sides, while the inside of the frame is no more bulky in its movement as sectional doors classics.
  • the space required for movement of the panel is the smaller the number of sections.
  • the door according to the present invention does not requires no guide rails and support.
  • the guide rollers are preferably supported by a tree connecting the two lateral connecting rods.
  • two cables are stretched the inside of the frame between the lower cross member of the latter and the two ends of a tension spring arranged horizontally in below the upper cross member of the frame passing through two rollers of deflection supported at opposite ends of the cross upper, the two vertical strands of the cables passing through, each, a eyelet fixed to the upper section of the panel and moving between two guide rollers and panel.
  • These guide rollers preferably have a peripheral groove for guiding cables.
  • two elastic blades hoses extend vertically inside the panel between them and two guide rollers, through clamps fixed to the section upper panel, the upper end of each blade being articulated on the upper cross member of the frame and the lower end bearing on the panel via a caster. These two blades form the track of the guide rollers.
  • FIG. 1 schematically shows a known garage door 10 in semi-open position. It is a tilting door from second type whose base is held and guided vertically, each side, in a rail 12 forming part of a fixed frame 14 surrounding door 10.
  • a connecting rod 16 On each side of the door is a connecting rod 16, one end of which is articulated at 18 to the chassis 14 and of which the opposite end is articulated at 20 in the central region of a side edge of door 10.
  • Door 10 can be hung from the end of a cable not shown, the opposite end of which may be subjected to the action of a counterweight or a spring that can find inside the fixed frame 14.
  • This door can be operated manually or with an electric motor not shown, possibly remote controlled.
  • Figure 2 shows different successive positions occupied through door 10 of FIG. 1 when it opens or when it closing.
  • this door type is relatively bulky since all of the upper corner between the foot of the door in closed position and the head of the door in the open position must be available for movement of the door with the disadvantages mentioned above.
  • FIG 3 shows a front view of the interior of a door according to the present invention.
  • the door according to the present invention comprises a rigid rectangular frame 30, for example a frame tubular or aluminum profile made up of two uprights 30b, 30c and two crosspieces 30a, 30d and comprising, at its base, each side, a roller 32. These two rollers 32 are each guided vertically in a vertical rail 34 forming part a fixed frame 36 around the door.
  • a connecting rod 38, 40 articulated by the upper end in the upper part of the chassis 36 and, by the inner end, on the central region of each of the two lateral uprights of the frame 30.
  • the frame 30 is therefore suspended and functions in the same way as conventional overhead doors as shown in Figures 1 and 2.
  • the frame 30 can also be suspended in a known manner by self at the end of a carrier cable not shown, the end of which opposite may be subjected to the action of a counterweight or spring which may be inside the chassis 36 and intended to facilitate the operation of the door.
  • the order can also be manual or electric, possibly with remote control.
  • the door panel globally represented by the reference 42, and made of wood or synthetic material is a panel sectional consisting of several, in the example shown, three separate sections 42a, 42b, 42c interconnected by several hinges 44.
  • the panel 42 is connected to the frame only by several hinges 46 (see figure 5) located between the bottom crossmember 30a of the frame 30 and the base of the lower section 42a of the panel. As shown in Figure 4, the frame 30 is hidden outwards by the panel 42 thus contributing to the aesthetic appearance of the door view from the outside.
  • Two ropes or cables 48, 50 are stretched vertically inside the frame 30 along the side uprights 30b, 30c and are fixed by their lower end to the crosspiece lower 30a of the frame 30.
  • the two cables 48, 50 evolve around two rollers 52 carried by yokes fixed to the upper cross member 30d of the frame and are fixed to each ends of a tension spring 54, stretched horizontally under the cross member 30d by the two cables 48, 50.
  • the two strands vertical cables 48, 50 also pass through two eyelets 56, 58 fixed on the inside of the upper section 42c of the panel 42.
  • the two connecting rods 38, 40 are joined together, approximately by their central region, by means of a horizontal shaft 60 bearing at at least two grooved rollers 62 and 64 at the vertical strands of the cables 48, 50 which evolve between the panel 42 and the rollers 62, 64, guided in the peripheral gorges.
  • the shaft 60 can, moreover, bear one or more (depending on the width of the door) grooved rollers intermediaries, one of which is shown in 66.
  • an O-ring washer 68 In the throat of this intermediate roller 66 is an O-ring washer 68, of preferably a section corresponding substantially to that of cables 48 and 50. All these rollers 62, 64 and 66 are mounted on bearings so that they can rotate on the shaft 60.
  • the two lateral uprights 30b, 30c must, at the level of this shaft 60, present a baffle 70 as can be seen in FIG. 5.
  • FIGS. 5 to 7 illustrating the door in three different positions. All these figures are views substantially along a section plane A-A in FIG. 3.
  • the frame 30 When the door is opened or the door is opened, the frame 30 lifts and tilts inwards as shown in FIG. 6, while its rollers 32 rise in the rails 34 of the chassis. During this tilting, the rollers 62, 64 and 66 separate the panel 42 of the frame 30 by involving the hinges 46 between the panel 42 and the frame 30, as well as the various hinges 44 between the three sections of panel 42.
  • Cables 48 and 50 are also taken out by rollers 62 and 64 of the plane of the frame 30 by tensioning the spring 54.
  • the counterweight or the spring acting on the carrier cable not shown must be powerful enough to compensate, at least partially, this tension force of the spring 54.
  • cables 48, 50 the essential function of cables 48, 50 is to support, thanks to their passage through the eyelets 56 and 58, the upper section 42c of the panel when this section 42c has exceeded the rollers 62, 64 and 66.
  • Another function of the cables 48 and 50 is to form a raceway between the rollers 62, 64 and the panel 42.
  • the cables 48 and 50 allow, in particular, smooth passage of the joints between sections 42a, 42b and 42e over the rollers 62 and 64.
  • the roller 66 the passage of these joints is facilitated by the washer 68.
  • the panel 42 begins to straighten gradually and to approach, again, frame 30 to finish by occupying the position of FIG. 7 when the frame 30 is completely raised.
  • the door is supported by its carrier cables not shown and by both connecting rods 38 and 40.
  • Cables 48 and 50 of the previous embodiment are replaced by two elastic and flexible blades 80, 82 made of steel or synthetic material disposed respectively between the rollers 76, 78 and the panel 74 and passing through collars 84, 88 fixed on the upper section 74d.
  • These two blades 80, 82 are articulated, each, at 94 respectively 96, on the upper cross member of the frame 30 and their lower end is free but carries casters 90, 92 evolving on the inside panel 74.
  • the rollers 76, 78 bend the blades 80 and 82 around their fixing to the frame and their fulcrum on the panel, which are constituted by the washers 90 and 92. This bending of the blades 80 and 82 supports sectional panel 74 by arching effect as shown in figure 11.
  • the two blades 80 and 82 constitute rolling tracks optimal for rollers 76 and 78. Indeed, they no longer evolve on the sections of the panel 74 but on the blades 76 and 78 which avoids shock when the hinges pass between the different sections of panel 74.
