Definitions
- the present invention relates to a floor stop for door leaves and the like, and associated manufacturing method, the stop being able to be used effectively in order to fix the leaf of a door in a given position with respect to the corresponding frame .
- the stop which is undoubtedly the most widespread consists of a wedge-shaped body which is pushed into the gap between the leaf and the floor itself-
- the increase in the compression results in a greater frictional force between the upper surface of the wedge-shaped member and the leaf and, therefore, a greater firmness in securing of the door to the floor.
- leaves made of soft material may yield under the thrust of considerable forces exerted by the wedge-shaped body, while leaves made of particularly hard material will react to the said thrusts, being raised up on the hinges.
- the wedge described in the abovementioned patent is not sufficient to maintain firm securing between leaf and floor. This may be easily noted in the case of thrusts exerted on the leaf on the side of the wedge where there is the thickest part, for example by air draughts striking the rear side of the leaf. Disclosure of the invention The object of the present invention is to provide a floor stop for door leaves and like, which has a wedge-shaped portion and is devoid of the drawbacks described above.
- a floor stop for door leaves and the like comprising a wedge-shaped element extending in a given direction and able to be brought into contact with a first surface delimiting the said leaf at the bottom; a central portion which seats, in a projecting manner, a securing member able to oppose thrusts exerted by the said leaf parallel to the floor itself; an end portion arranged on the opposite side to the said wedge-shaped element relative to the central portion; characterized in that the said securing member is delimited at the bottom by a first, substantially curved, continuous surface extending transversely with respect to the said wedge-shaped element for acting as a lever fulcrum between the said wedge-shaped element and the said end portion; the said end portion having a mass exceeding the mass of the said wedge-shaped element in order to keep, during use, the wedge-shaped element itself in contact with the said first surface owing to the imbalance of the masses.
- a further object of the present invention is to provide a method for manufacturing a floor stop for door leaves and the like.
- a method for manufacturing a floor stop for door leaves and the like using initially a prismatic bar extending along a longitudinal axis, is also provided; the said bar having a first longitudinal portion arranged centrally and provided at the bottom with a longitudinal concave section open downwards; a second wedge-shaped longitudinal portion delimited by two substantially flat surface portions parallel to the said longitudinal axis and inclined at a given angle relative to each other; and a third longitudinal end portion having a given shape and mass which is greater than, and arranged on the opposite side to, that of said wedge-shaped portion; the said method being characterized in that it comprises a first step involving cutting along a first given path, so as to generate a fifth reference surface transverse to the said longitudinal axis; the said first step being followed by a second cutting step performed along a second given path so as to generate a sixth surface at a given distance from the said fifth surface, in order to obtain a bar slice with a given thickness.
- FIG. 1 is a schematic perspective view of a first preferred embodiment of a stop according to the present invention.
- FIG. 1 is a side view of the door stop according. to Figure 1;
- FIG. 3 is a rear view of Figure 1;
- FIG. 4 is a rear view of a second preferred embodiment of Figure 1;
- FIG. 5 is a rear view of a third preferred embodiment of Figure 1;
- FIG. 6 is a schematic perspective view of a prismatic bar obtainable by means of extrusion for manufacture of a stop according to the present invention.
- 1 denotes, in its entirety, a floor stop 2 for leaves 3 of doors 4 and the like.
- the stop 1 extends in a direction 5, comprises a wedge-shaped element 6 which extends in the said direction 5, and has a limited thickness so that it may be inserted underneath the leaf 3 in the said direction 5.
- the stop 1 is delimited by a closed prismatic surface 7 which is partly in the form of an edge and partly curved and extends transversely with respect to the direction 5.
- the stop 1 is delimited, parallel to the direction 5, by two side surfaces 8 and 9, i.e. a front surface and rear surface, respectively, which are connected together by the surface 7 along the respective external profiles.
- the stop 1 also has a central portion 10 which has, at the bottom, a longitudinal cavity 11 transverse to the direction 5. Therefore, the cavity 11 is perpendicular to the surfaces 8 and 9 and partially seats a securing member 12 which has an elongated prismatic shape and projects downwards so as to be able to make contact with the floor 2.
- the member 12 is made of an elastic material deformable under the load which is exerted downwards by the leaf 3 and which the conicity of the wedge-shaped element 6 converts into thrusts parallel to the floor, on the basis of well-known principles of force components, as known from traditional studies on mechanics.
- the stop 1 has an end portion 13 on the opposite side to the wedge-shaped element 6 relative to the central portion 10. It should be noted that this end portion 13 has a height greater than that of the wedge-shaped element 6 in order to facilitate insertion, by means of pushing, underneath leaves 3 and that the longitudinal cavity 11 is arranged in a substantially median geometrical position. In particular, if L is taken as being the length of the stop 1 in the direction 5, the cavity 11 is located at approximately L/2 from the edge 14 which represents the intersection between the flat surfaces 15 and 16 delimiting the wedge-shaped element 6, where 15 is the upper surface and 16 is the lower surface.
- the end portion 13 has a mass decidedly greater than the mass of the said wedge-shaped element 6.
- the securing member 12 is delimited at the bottom by a substantially cylindrical curved surface 17 so as to allow rolling of the stop 1 itself about a longitudinal axis 18 of the longitudinal cavity 11. Therefore, the member 12 is able to act as a lever fulcrum between the wedge-shaped element 6 and the end portion 13. Owing to the particular location of the fulcrum, it is possible, during use, to keep the surface 15 in constant contact with a surface 19 which delimits the leaf 3 at the bottom owing to the imbalance of the masses.
- the imbalance effect is obtained spontaneously owing to the fact that the torque resulting from the mass of the wedge- shaped element times the distance of the respective centre of gravity from the fulcrum is decidedly less than the torque resulting from the mass of the end portion 13 times the distance of the respective centre of gravity from the said fulcrum.
- the surfaces 8 and 9 are flat and parallel since, still with reference to Figure 1, the mass of the end portion 13 is visibly greater than mass of the wedge-shaped element 6 and therefore sufficient to cause a lack of equilibrium in the stop 1.
- the imbalance of the masses could in any case be achieved by forming the two surfaces 8 and 9 so that, in a direction upwards from the floor 2, the distance between the surfaces 8 and 9 increases.
- the specific characteristic of an increasing distance between the surfaces 8 and 9 as the height from the floor 2 increases may be achieved by forming the two parallel surfaces 8 and 9 inclined at a given angle ( Figure 3) . In this case, the greater the angle required between the surfaces 8 and 9, the smaller should be the difference in height of the wedge-shaped element 6 and the end portion 13.
- the two surfaces 8 and 9 may be formed with a profile, transverse to the direction 5, having a given shape: rectilinear, in sections, as in Figure 4, and hence similar to a broken line, or curved as in Figure 5.
- the transverse profile is a broken ' line
- each of the surfaces 8 and 9 would be delimited by a plurality of surfaces ⁇ '/ ⁇ ' which are varyingly inclined relative to each other.
- each of the stops 1 may be produced by means of cutting of a prismatic bar obtained by means of extrusion or, alternatively, by. means of moulding, with the direction of draft along the longitudinal axis 18.
- a prismatic bar 20 shown in Figure 6, could be initially used.
- This bar 20 extends along an axis 21 which replicates substantially the axis 18 of the longitudinal cavity 11 according to Figure 1 and, moreover, this bar 21 has a cross-section substantially identical to the surface 8 according to Figure 2.
- the manufacturing method comprises a first cutting step which can be performed by operating a cutting tool, along a first given path Pi of any shape, resulting in the formation of a first reference surface transverse to the longitudinal axis 21.
- This first reference surface replicates substantially the surface 8, whatever the transverse profile thereof.
- the first step is followed by a second cutting step performed by operating the cutting tool along a second given path P2, having a given shape, so as to generate a sixth surface at a given distance from the surface 8.
- This sixth surface replicates substantially the surface 9, and cutting of this surface produces a slice 23 of a bar 20 with a given thickness, which can be seen in Figure 6 where it is delimited by two broken curved lines .
- These cutting tools could consist of the known tool - not illustrated - of a jig saw, instead of the known wire - not illustrated - of an electroerosive cutting machine.
- the two paths PI and P2 may be rectilinear and parallel to each other and therefore perfectly symmetrical with respect to a vertical median plane ( Figure 3) , but may also have any configuration, such as those described with reference to Figures 4 and 5.
- stop 1 may be placed in position by applying with one's hand or foot a force parallel to the floor in the direction 5 and directed transversely relative to the leaf 3 of the door which is to be kept in a given position with respect to the floor 2. Therefore, the end portion 13 may be regarded as a handle able to be gripped during fixing of the leaf 3.
- the stop 1 may in fact be used with the function of an adjustable height compensating device for ensuring the equilibrium of furniture, such as, for example, cabinets, tables, chairs or similar furnishings, making use of the gradual increase in height resulting from the presence of the wedge-shaped element 6 whenever the lack of height, and hence equilibrium, is due to the shorter length of the supporting leg or part of the furniture in question.
- the equilibrium is achieved by taking hold of the stop 1 by the respective end portion 13 and then pushing the wedge-shaped element 6 underneath the supporting leg or part where there is the difference in height to be compensated for, until the equilibrium of the furniture or furnishing is achieved.
- the stop 1 may be regarded as a height compensating device provided with a handle consisting of the end portion 13, for ensuring the equilibrium of furniture and furnishings.
- the stop 1 described and illustrated here may be subject to modifications and variations, without thereby departing from the scope of protection of the present invention.
- the stop 1 could also be obtained by assembling two parts made of different material.
- the wedge-shaped element 6 could be made of rubbery material and therefore have a low weight and high coefficient of friction, while the end portion 13 could be made of solid metal.
- the latter could be provided with a metal core.
