Definitions

  • the present invention relates in general to panic-opening systems for doors of the type comprising a control bar, which is applied transversely to the door and which can be displaced by application of a thrust so as to release at least one spring latch, said spring latch being able to oscillate between an extracted position, in which it engages a stationary blocking striker, and a retracted position to enable push opening of the door.
  • the purpose of the present invention is to solve the above problem in an effective way, as well as in a particularly simple and practical way for the installer.
  • a panic-opening system for doors of the type defined above is characterized in that:
  • the base plate can be fixed to the door, by means of the two formations of through holes, in the most convenient and appropriate position.
  • the supporting element is positioned longitudinally in the condition corresponding to the optimal position of the spring latch with respect to the stationary striker. Then, the adjustment screws are tightened home.
  • the base plate also conveniently has at least one pair of longitudinal slots, and the supporting element has corresponding holes for insertion, through said longitudinal holes made in said base plate, of screws for fixing to the door.
  • the number 1 designates a door equipped with a panic-opening system including, in a way of itself generally known, a control bar 2, which can be operated by application of a thrust (in translation or in rotation) so as to actuate opening of one or more spring latches 3.
  • a control bar 2 which can be operated by application of a thrust (in translation or in rotation) so as to actuate opening of one or more spring latches 3.
  • the ensuing description relates, in particular, to a spring latch 3 set in a position corresponding to the bottom part of the door 1: it should, however, be noted that the invention can be identically applied to possible spring latches located in other positions, for instance, in a position corresponding to the top part of the door 1.
  • the spring latch 3 which is illustrated in greater detail in Figures 2 to 4 and Figure 9 , usually cooperates with a stationary blocking striker 4 provided underneath the door 1 on the inside 5.
  • actuating tie-rod 6 which can be displaced vertically between a lowered position (illustrated in Figures 2 to 4 and Figure 9 ) and a raised position, the spring latch 3 is able to oscillate between an extracted position, in which it engages the stationary striker 4, and a retracted position, in which the mechanism for push-opening of the door 1 is released.
  • the spring latch 3 is able to oscillate about a horizontal transverse pin 7 carried by the side flaps 8 of a supporting element 9, which is in turn fixed, by means of a base plate 10, to the lower area of the inside 5 of the door 1.
  • a pin spring 11 tends to keep the spring latch 3 in the extracted position illustrated in the figures, and its rotation towards the retracted position is obtained as a result of the upward translation of a sliding member, designated as a whole by 12, which is able to slide in a guided way along the supporting element 9 and has a yoke 13, to which the bottom end of the actuating tie-rod 6 is anchored.
  • a spring 16 tends to keep the sliding member 12 in the lowered position (represented in Figures 2, 3 and 9 ), to which, as has been said, there corresponds the extracted position of the spring latch 3.
  • the control bar 2 is actuated by application of a thrust, bringing about raising of the actuating tie-rod 6, the sliding member 12 moves upwards against the action of the spring 16, bringing about, via the pin 15, rotation of the spring latch 3 about the axis of the pin 7 towards the raised position, thus enabling push-opening of the door 1.
  • the system can moreover be provided with an anti-intrusion security device, which forms the subject of a co-pending patent application filed on the same date by the present applicant.
  • the system is configured so as to enable, upon installation, an easy and effective adjustment of the position of the spring latch 3 with respect to the stationary striker 4.
  • the base plate 10 has two formations of through holes, one of which formations is designated by 17 and consists, in the example illustrated, of three holes arranged at the vertices of an isosceles triangle, and the other is designated by 18 and consists, in the example illustrated, of two holes.
  • the holes 17 and 18 can be used selectively, either entirely or in part, for insertion of corresponding fixing screws 19, 20 to the door 1.
  • Figure 5 illustrates an example of possible fixing, in which two screws 19 are inserted through the corresponding holes 17, and a screw 20 is inserted through one of the holes 18.
  • the base plate 10 is moreover formed with at least one pair of threaded holes 21, set staggered with respect to one another, one above the formation of holes 17 and the other above the formation of holes 18, and with a pair of bottom longitudinal slots 22 set alongside one another, the function of which will be clarified in what follows.
  • the supporting element 9 has, in the way illustrated in greater detail in Figure 8 , a pair of longitudinal slots 23, staggered with respect to one another like the two threaded holes 21 of the base plate 10, and, at the bottom, a pair of through holes 25 set like the slots 22 of the plate 10.
  • the regulating device enables, upon assembly, optimal positioning of the spring latch 3 with respect to the stationary striker 4, by means of operations that are particularly easy and fast for the installer, according to the procedures described in what follows.
  • the first operation consists in fixing the base plate 10 to the door 1 by means of three, four or five screws 19 inserted through the formations of holes 17 and 18. Then the supporting element 9 with the spring latch 3 and the sliding member 12 is positioned against the base plate 10, threading in two anchoring screws 24 within the threaded holes 21 of the base plate 10, through the corresponding slots 23 of the supporting element 9. This is followed by the step of regulating the spring latch 3 with respect to the striker 4, moving the supporting element 9 longitudinally with respect to the base plate 10. Once the optimal position is reached, the screws 24 are tightened home so as to fix the supporting element 9 to the base plate 10.
  • Figures 2 and 3 and Figures 8 and 9 show the two extreme adjustment positions, namely the lowest and the highest respectively, of the spring latch 3 with respect to the striker 4.
  • Definitive blocking of the supporting element 9 is obtained by introducing a pair of self-tapping screws 26 through the holes 25 and the slots 22 of the base plate 10, and screwing them into holes previously made in the door 1.
