Abstract
Description
- The present invention relates to a roller shutter with automatic locking in closing position.
- Roller shutters are known used for closing windows or other different room openings. Particularly roller shutters are known formed by strips of alluminium, wood or plastic and which are placed in succession with articulated connection so that they can be wound about revolving axles placed on the top of the room opening. Such revolving axles are operated usually by electric motors, little winches or belts which allow the axle rotation and consequently the unwinding or the winding of the roller shutter that is sliding vertically.
- During the room closing and consequently the roller shutter unwinding, the roller shutter is lowered so that its inferior side is at contact with the ground. However, an undesirable operator can force the roller shutter from the outside and thrusting up the roller shutter he can get in the room. In order to solve this problem more or less complex or efficient locking devices of the roller shutter are provided.
- In view of the state of the art described, it is an object of the present invention to form a roller shutter with automatic locking in closing position.
- According to the present invention, such object is attained by a roller shutter comprising a roller gate, a revolving axle to which said roller gate is connected by chain connection means which allow the winding of said roller gate about said revolving axle, and means to control the rotation of said revolving axle, characterized in that said chain connection means are formed by segments which are hingedly connected to rotate with respect to each other of very little angles and braking means for said revolving axle are provided which co-operate with said chain connection means in order to prevent a lifting of said roller gate by forces acting from the bottom.
- Thanks to the present invention it is possible to form a roller shutter that is automatically locked in closing position, so that anybody cannot lifts the roller gate from the outside and get in the room.
- The features and the advantages of the present invention will be made evident by the following detailed description of a particular embodiment, illustrated as not limiting example in the annexed drawings, wherein:
- Figure 1 is a perspective view of the roller shutter according to the embodiment of the invention;
- Figure 2 is a more detailed perspective view of a particular of figure 1;
- Figure 3 is similar to figure 2, but with wound chain;
- Figure 4 is a lateral view of a chain connection device interposed between the roller gate and the revolving axle of the roller shutter of figure 1, in state of total axle unwinding;
- Figure 5 is a similar to figure 4 but with wound chain.
-
- In figure 1 is described a roller shutter comprising a
roller gate 1 formed byalluminium strips 2 which are hingedly connected and can slide in theguides 3. Such roller gate is connected to an octagonalsection revolving axle 4 by twoconnection devices 5 formed by twochains 6 fixed at the bottom to theroller gate 1 and at the top to respective couples ofoctagonal rings 7 which are integral with the revolvingaxle 4, in turn hinged at 8 to the walls of the room opening which are not shown in figure 1. - The
chain 6 of theconnection device 5, described in more detail in the perspective view of figure 2 and in the lateral view of figure 4, comprises aterminal segment 9 connected to thefirst strip 2 of theroller gate 1 by the hooking of itscurve portion 10, which forms ainternal cavity 11, with ahook portion 12 of thestrip 2. Theterminal segment 9 is connected to aadjacent segment 13 of the chain, which is more narrow than thesegment 9, by ahook portion 14 of anextension 15 of the superior side of thesegment 9, which is inserted in acircular cavity 16 of the inferior side of thesegment 13 so that it can rotate only of a little angle with respect to thesegment 9. In fact thespace 30 that is between an extremity of thecavity 16 of the inferior side of thesegment 13 and theextension 15, when the other extremity of thecavity 16 is at contact with theextension 15, is very little. This allows thesegments segment 13 is the first one of a series of equal segments which are connected with each other byhook portions 14 as that before described. Eachsegment 13 shown a U-shapedcentral portion 17 to which aseparable rubber insert 18 is connected and in thecavity 19 of which abolt 20 is engaged which also passes through holes oflaminas 21. - The last and the next to last
superior segment 13 of thechain 6 are fixed to the couple ofoctagonal rings 7 by abolt 22 which engages in acavity 23 of theextension 15 of the next to last segment, engaged in thehook portion 14 with the last segment, and in acavity 14 of aportion 25 of a side of saidoctagonal rings 7. Theportion 25 showsothers cavities cavities last segment 13 of thechain 6, in which suitable bolts can engage in order to allow a more efficient connection of the couple ofrings 7 to thechain 6. Each of theoctagonal rings 7 shows aportion 70 where a transversal hole is provided in which abolt 28 engages in order to fix the position of therings 7 in the revolvingaxle 4. - With the
wound chain 6 as described in figures 3 and 5, theroller shutter 1 is wound about theaxle 4, as shown in figure 5. Then the operation of aelectric motor 40 accommodated inside theaxle 4 and having abraking device 41, theaxle 4 can be made rotate counterclockwise (showing figure 5) and the roller shutter and thechain 6 are unwound so that the inferiorlast strip 2 of theroller gate 1 is at contact with ground. At this point a suitable automatism, which is not shown in figures, allows the braking and the stop of theelectric motor 40 which so does not allow rotating to theaxle 4. If an operator exercises a thrust from the bottom to the top on theroller gate 1, the blocking device intervenes formed by theconnection device 5 and thebraking device 41 of theelectric motor 40. In fact the hook of thefirst strip 2 inside of thecavity 11 of thefirst segment 9 exercises a thrust to the top on the same segment and on the remaining part of thechain 6, and this, joining with the immobility of the revolvingaxle 4, allows a major curving of the same chain. In the hookingportions 14 of thesegments extension 15 can rotate inside thecircular cavities 16 only of a little angle, so that the roller gate can be lifted only in minimum part insufficient for the entry of a person from the outside of the room. The blocking of theroller gate 1 does not prevent its successive rewinding by rotation of the revolvingaxle 4, which is controlled by the electric motor by means of a suitable pulse from the designated operator.
