Definitions

  • the present invention relates to restraints for hinged doors, and particularly, but not exclusively, to restraints for large external doors.
  • FIG. 1 An example of another door restraint is shown in Figures 1 and 2 .
  • the restraint 10 has a bracket 12 attached to door 14.
  • Door 14 is connected to door frame 16 by hinge 18.
  • a second bracket 20 is attached to frame 16 and has slider 22 pivotally connected to it.
  • a rod 24 is pivotally connected at one end to bracket 12 and extends through slider 22. At the other end of rod 24 are engaging means 26 and spring 28.
  • Such an apparatus also suffers from the disadvantage that the force that must be placed on door 14 to overcome the engagement means 26 may not be very large. It is possible to increase this required force however, the force required to deliberately disengage the engagement means so as to shut the door also increases thereby making the door harder to close once it has been opened to its restraint position. Thus when a particularly large door is located in an exposed position where strong winds may exert a considerable force upon it, the force required within the engaging means 26 to maintain the door in an open position is so large that the force required to intentionally disengage the engaging means 26 to release the door from its restrained position is beyond the reasonable force that can be applied by a person wishing to shut the door. Furthermore, the size of the parts which must be used in order to hold a very large door become cumbersome, expensive to manufacture and unsightly.
  • bracket 12 which attaches the restraint 10 to door 14 is quite small and the forces applied to the door when, for instance, extremely high winds are encountered, are distributed over a small area of the door. As a result, the bracket 12 is prone to breaking away from door 14.
  • a restraining device according to the preamble of claim 1 is known from US 1 766 197 A .
  • wind forces acting on the open door are absorbed by wedging action between the engaging portion, the retaining member and the elongate body.
  • the goal of the invention is to find an alternative restraint designed to hold a door open against significant forces.
  • Preferred embodiments of the present invention seek to overcome the above described disadvantages of the prior art.
  • a restraining device for a door hinged to a wall comprising:-
  • the advantage is provided that a restraint capable of handling extreme forces can be provided without the need for excessively large and cumbersome parts.
  • the above described restraint may be produced from smaller parts without any loss of strength, the smaller restraint also being a more aesthetically pleasing article.
  • the arm of the restraint is considerably shorter than that of the restraint shown in Figures 1 and 2 since when the door is in an open position the arm need only extend from the frame to the nearest end of the body of the restraint. As a result the shortened arm has less tendency to flex and buckle. As a result this type of restraint is able to restrain a considerably larger force placed upon it than an equivalently sized article of the prior art.
  • Another advantage of the above restraint is that if the retaining means is sufficiently sprung, the contact between the engaging means and the retaining means as the door moves to the second position can act as a brake, slowing the opening of the door. Furthermore, the force which maintains the restraint and door in the open position is a compressive force on the retaining member and it is not this force which must be overcome in order to release the restraint from the restraint position.
  • the force required to intentionally release the door is only the force required to flex the retaining member which need not be a large force, ie the forces required to intentionally and accidentally release the door are not proportional to each other.
  • said attempt to move the door towards the closed position also applies a bending force to said retaining member such that said retaining member is at least temporarily bent so that an end of said retaining member engaged with said engaging portion applies a force in a direction substantially opposite to the movement of said end during said at least partial displacement.
  • At least one said body is connected to the door and said first end of said arm is connected to the wall.
  • At least one said body is connected to said door along the length of one of the body's long sides.
  • the advantage is provided that the force applied to the connection between the restraint and the door is distributed over a significantly larger area thereby reducing the likelihood of the failure of this connection.
  • each body is provided with attachment means on opposing long sides of said body.
  • At least one said body is recessed into said door.
  • the body By having the body the restraint recessed into the door, the advantage is provided that the forces applied to the joint between the body and the door are further distributed, especially when the body is formed as part of the door.
  • the restraint is also concealed providing a more aesthetically pleasing restraint.
  • said release means comprises a respective elongate member extending outside the or each said body such that when said release means is pulled in a direction away from the corresponding said body, the corresponding retaining member is caused to disengage from the engaging portion and thereby allow movement of the arm along the guide means and as a result the movement of the door.
  • said engaging portion comprises a respective notch into which said second end of the or each said retaining member engages when said door is in said open position.
  • the advantage is provided that the position of the notch can be determined such that the forces applied to the retaining member can be distributed most evenly without the likelihood of the retaining member being caused to bend. It also reduces the likelihood that the retaining member can accidentally become disengaged from the engaging means, for instance by an excessive force being applied to the door.
  • a door restraint 50 is connected between a door 52 and wall 54.
  • Door 52 is hinged to wall 54 by hinge 56.
  • Restraint 50 comprises a body 58 which contains an elongate retaining member 60.
  • Retaining member 60 is connected to body 58 at a first end 62 and bent such that it is flexibly retained within body 58.
  • Restraint 50 also has an elongate connecting arm 64, a first end 66 of which is pivotally connected to wall 54 by bracket 68.
  • Bracket 68 is generally connected to wall 54 via a door frame (not shown), and reference made to wall 54 includes any door frame within that wall.
  • a second end 70 of arm 64 is connected to engaging means 72 through a guide means 74, the engaging means 72 contained within the body 58.
  • Engaging means 72 has an engaging notch 76 and is connected to arm 70 by bolt 78.
  • Retaining means 60 has disengaging means 80 at a second end 82 of retaining means 60.
  • Guide means 74 has a first end 84 and second end 86
  • Figures 3 and 4 show the position adopted by the retaining means 50 when door 52 is closed
  • Figure 5 shows door 52 in an open position.
  • second end 70 of arm 64 and engaging means 72 move from first end 84 of guide means 74 in direction A.
  • engaging means 72 moves along guide means 74 in direction A, it comes into contact with retaining means 60 which if sufficiently sprung will apply a frictional force to the base of engaging means 72 and thereby potentially act as a brake to the opening of the door 52.
  • notch 76 of engaging means 72 reaches second end 82 of retaining means 60, said second end engages into notch 76 thereby preventing engaging means 72 moving in direction B (the opposite direction to direction A).
  • engaging means 72 In order for engaging means 72 to move in direction B, thereby allowing the door to close, it is necessary to disengage second end 82 of retaining means 60 from notch 76 of engaging means 72. To do this retaining means 60 is moved in direction C, and this is done by pulling disengaging means 80 in direction C.
  • a string or chain (not shown) is generally attached to disengaging means 80. If restraint 50 is contained within door 52, a lever or sliding device connected to the disengaging means 80 is in door 52 at a convenient height for a person operating the door.
  • Figures 6 and 7 show a second embodiment of the present invention in which components common to the embodiment of Figures 3 to 5 are designated with equivalent numerals which have been increased by 100.
  • connecting arm 164 extends into body 158 through a side of body 158 rather than being located above the body.
  • the engaging means 172 does not contain an engaging notch into which retaining member 160 however, a notch may be included. This arrangement is also suitable for recessing into a door particularly as part of the construction process of the door.
