Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a fixing device for automatic draught excluders and to a draught excluder which incorporates the device.
  • automatic draught excluders are installed on the bottom edge of door and window units in order to close gaps between the edge of the units and the floor.
  • these draught excluders are of the automatic type, since they move down and up by themselves when the unit is closed and opened, respectively, by virtue of a lateral button which cooperates with the jamb and acts on a set of levers and springs.
  • These devices are usually fitted manually or with the aid of portable tools by specialized workers at the production sites of the units or by the fitters of the units directly at the buyer's premises.
  • fitting entails preparing a longitudinal seat along the lower edge, inserting the preassembled draught excluder and then fixing it by means of a pair of screws inserted transversely in the body of the draught excluder and screwed manually into the top of the seat. Fitting of this kind is shown for example in Italian patent application no. VI97A000185 filed on 5 November 1997 in the name of the same proprietor as the present application.
  • Another type of installation of an automatic draught excluder consists in obtaining, by molding or application, on the wings of the inverted U-shaped profile pairs of small mutually opposite tabs which protrude outward and are oriented in the opposite direction with respect to the direction in which the draught excluder is inserted in its seat. In this manner, fitting occurs by forcing, causing the interlocking of the tabs in the walls of the seat.
  • the described draught excluders are therefore often complicated to install and fit, especially if the door or window unit is made of metallic materials, and require periodic maintenance interventions by specialized engineers in order to restore their correct fixing and accordingly their correct operation.
  • fitting known draught excluders to steel-clad units is extremely challenging, since these units are difficult to handle owing to their considerable weight.
  • this installation is rendered even more difficult when these units are already installed and especially when burglar-proof hinges have been used for connection to the jamb, as it is known that these hinges do not allow to remove the units in any way other than by forcing the hinges.
  • the aim of the present invention is to overcome the drawbacks noted above in known types of draught excluder to be applied to door or window units in order to obstruct the gaps that are present between the lower edge and the floor by providing a fixing device which makes draught excluders practical, fast and particularly easy to install in units made of any material and particularly in steel-clad units.
  • an object of the invention is to provide a fixing device for automatic draught excluders which is simple in concept and to manufacture, so as to contain as much as possible its production costs.
  • Another object of the invention is to provide a fixing device for automatic draught excluders which is fully contained within the dimensions defined by currently commercially available draught excluders, so that in case of replacement it is not necessary to intervene on the seat, for example by removing additional material along the walls.
  • Another object of the invention is to provide a fixing device which allows durable installation of these draught excluders, so as to avoid maintenance interventions and also inspection interventions, which are simpler.
  • a fixing device for automatic draught excluders which include a first profile shaped like an inverted U to be fixed inside a seat formed in the lower edge of a door or window unit and a second U-shaped profile which can slide in a guillotine-like fashion in the first profile so as to close a gap present between the edge and the floor, characterized in that it includes an expansion means which is associated with the first profile and can gradually engage the walls of the seat so as to detachably fix the first profile to the unit.
  • the fixing device is applied in pairs to an automatic draught excluder, generally designated by the reference numeral 9, whose structure and operation are of a substantially known type.
  • the automatic draught excluder includes a first profile 10, which is shaped like an inverted U and is meant to be fixed inside a rectilinear seat 11 formed in the lower edge of the door or window unit 12, and a second U-shaped profile 13 with rubber trims 14, which is inserted in the first profile 10 so as to slide vertically in a guillotine-like fashion so as to close the gap (not shown) that is present between the lower edge of the unit 12 and the floor.
  • the particularity of the fixing device 8 consists of the fact that it includes an expansion means 15 which is associated with the first profile 10 toward its ends; the means gradually engages walls 16 of the seat 11, so as to detachably fix the first profile 10 to the unit 12 and accordingly fix the entire preassembled draught excluder 9.
  • two mutually opposite pairs of rectangular openings 18 are formed by blanking in wings 17 of the first profile 10 at the expansion means 15 and are large enough to allow the expansion means 15 to gradually engage, by protruding, the walls 16.
  • the expansion means 15 is formed substantially by a body 19, which is hinged to the wings 17 of the first profile 10 by virtue of a transverse pivot 20 and has two rod-like projections 21 whose ends face the openings 18, and by a wedge-shaped body 22 which interacts, by virtue of adjustment members generally designated by the reference numeral 23, with the pair of projections 21 so as to cause the gradual engagement of their ends, which by protruding through the openings 18 engage the walls 16.
  • the body 19 is constituted by an approximately prism-shaped block which has, at its center, a threaded dead hole 24 or, alternatively, a T-shaped seat 25 which is shown in Figures 3 and 5 and partially accommodates the adjustment members 23.
  • the ends of the projections 21 are suitable to engage the walls 16 and to cooperate with the wedge-shaped body 22.
  • double-edged protrusions 26 are formed on the ends, on the side directed toward the openings 18, and prevent, once they have engaged the walls 16, the longitudinal sliding in both directions of the draught excluder 9 in the seat 11.
  • small prism-shaped bodies 37 are associable with the protrusions 26 and allow to make the fixing device 8 suitable for excessively wide seats 11.
  • Each body 37 is fixed to each protrusion 26 by interlocking, by virtue of two rounded studs 38 formed on one face of the body 37 which enter a corresponding pair of cavities 39 formed in the front face of the protrusion 26.
  • tooth-shaped protrusions 27 which cooperate with the inclined lateral surfaces of the wedge-shaped member 22.
  • the wedge-shaped member is arranged so that its tip 28 is directed toward the block between the toothed-shaped protrusions 27 and includes, at the center, a smooth longitudinal through hole 29 which partially accommodates the adjustment members 23.
  • multiple transverse, parallel and equidistant raised portions 30 are formed on the inclined lateral surfaces of the wedge-shaped body 22 and selectively cooperate with the tooth-shaped protrusions 27.
  • the adjustment members simply consist of a screw 31 in which the head 32 is directed toward the nearest end of the first profile 10 and which, by entering the hole 29, is screwed to the required extent into the threaded hole 24.
  • the screw 31 is screwed into a nut (not shown) which is locked transversely in the T-shaped seat 25 and thus enters freely the longitudinal portion of the seat 25.
  • the wedge-shaped body 22 is moved toward the block, consequently causing the gradual divarication of the projections 21, whose ends protrude from the openings 18, inserting and increasingly engaging the protrusions 26 in the walls 16 of the seat 11.
  • the resulting fixing of the draught excluder 9 is maintained over time by virtue of the contrast force applied by the raised portions 30 to the tooth-shaped protrusions 27.
  • the adjustment of the fixing or the full disengagement of the draught excluder 9 are achieved by unscrewing the screw 31, so that the expansion means 15 retracts until it returns within the first profile 10.
  • the fixing device 8 furthermore cooperates with the means for the movement of the second profile 13 with respect to the first profile 10.
  • this movement means includes a button-type pusher 33 which protrudes at one of the ends of the draught excluder 9 and can be conveniently removed by simply pulling, so as to allow access, by virtue of a hexagonal-head key 34, to the head 32 of the screw 31, a lever and a helical spring, designated by the reference numerals 35 and 36, which are hinged at their ends respectively to the rear of the block and to the second profile 13.
  • the described device achieves the intended aim and objects, since it allows to fix any kind of automatic draught excluder to any door or window unit in a practical, straightforward and facilitated way and most of all without having to provide any holes. Furthermore, the device allows to adjust the expansion means very accurately so as to adapt the pressure it applies to the walls of the seat according to the material of which the unit is made. Finally, the draught excluder that incorporates the device is particularly advantageous in that it can be applied both in the traditional way and by making it slide within the seat from one of the ends of the lower edge of already-installed units. Clearly, this aspect is particularly useful in the case of steel-clad units, since it is no longer necessary to remove them and reinstall them after application.
