Abstract
Description
- The present invention relates to a device for increasing the security of doors or fixtures in general against break-in attempts.
- As is known, most theft attempts in apartments, when the only possibility to break into the house is the front door, are performed by means of levers meant to break the locks in the various closure points of the door.
- Extremely strong armoured doors, provided with locks that are highly sophisticated in their movement and are adapted to move a large number of closure bolts, are commercially available and are capable of withstanding these break-in attempts for a long time, inducing the burglar to desist.
- Break-in attempts, even if not successful, are still a considerable problem for the owner who is their target, since in addition to having to repair the damage caused to the door by the break-in attempt, he is often forced to request the immediate intervention of specialized personnel to reenter his home, since the break-in attempt generally irreparably compromises operation of the door.
- For this reason, it would be desirable to provide doors or fixtures in general with an anti-theft system capable of discouraging burglars from the very start of the break-in attempt.
- Electronic anti-theft systems are currently commercially available which are capable of retorting, in various manners, the approach of unwanted persons to internal and external parts of a dwelling.
- However, these anti-theft systems cannot be used in the case of condominium dwellings, where the entrance to the dwelling is located in communal areas, such as landings or galleries. In this case, the application of sensors outside the dwelling, in the vicinity of its entrance, would inevitably cause false alarms when people authorized to use the communal areas pass in the vicinity of the entrance.
-
EP-A-0208876 discloses a device for increasing the security of doors or fixtures, wherein the switch is normally closed and wherein the break-in attempts may not be detected due to the fact that the switch is not guaranteed to open on a break-in attempt. - The aim of the present invention is to solve the problems noted above by providing a device that increases the security of doors or fixtures in general against break-in attempts by performing an active security action that is capable of discouraging from the very start break-in attempts affecting the door or fixture in general.
- Within this aim, an object of the invention is to provide a device that can be connected to an anti-theft system that is capable of detecting break-in attempts affecting the fixture and optionally emit signals of the luminous and/or acoustic type to induce the person who is trying to force the fixture to desist.
- Another object of the invention is to provide a device that can act exclusively in case of break-in attempts affecting the door or fixture in general, excluding the possibility of false alarms.
- Another object of the invention is to provide a device that can be fitted very easily inside fixtures, particularly armoured doors, that are currently commercially available.
- This aim and these and other objects that will become better apparent hereinafter are achieved by a device for increasing the security of doors or fixtures in general against break-in attempts, as defined in claim 1.
Further characteristics and advantages of the invention will become better apparent from the description of a preferred but not exclusive embodiment of the device according to the invention, illustrated by way of nonlimiting example in the accompanying drawings, wherein: -
Figure 1 is a view of the device according to the invention applied to a single-leaf door, which is shown in a cross-section taken along a horizontal plane; -
Figure 2 is a view of the device according to the invention applied to a two-leaf door, which is shown in a cross-section taken along a horizontal plane; -
Figure 3 is a transverse sectional view of a first pair of security elements; -
Figure 4 is a transverse sectional view of a second pair of security elements; -
Figure 5 is a transverse sectional view of a third pair of security elements; -
Figure 6 is a transversely sectional view of a fourth pair of security elements; -
Figures 7 to 9 illustrate the operation of the device according to the invention in case of break-in, with reference to the pairs of security elements shown inFigures 3 and6 . - With reference to the figures, the device according to the invention comprises at least one pair of
security elements 1a, 1b, 1c, 1d, which is composed of aninternal element fixture external element component external element 4a-4d and theinternal element 2a-2d constitute or support two electrical contacts of a normally-open circuit breaker, which can be closed by a movement of theexternal element 4a-4d with respect to theinternal element 2a-2d caused by a break-in force applied to the outer side of the fixture and/or as a consequence of the insertion of an electrically conductingobject 40 between two of said electrical contacts, as will become better apparent hereinafter. - Preferably, the
internal element 2a-2d and theexternal element 4a-4d are constituted by metallic profiled elements and directly constitute the two electrical contacts of the normally-open circuit breaker. - The
external element 4a-4d and theinternal element 2a-2d face each other, and an elastically yielding electrically insulatingelement 6a-6d is interposed between them and is adapted to keep theexternal element 4a-4d spaced from theinternal element 2a-2d if no break-in forces are applied to the outer side of the fixture. - The
internal element 2a-2d and theexternal element 4a-4d have a shape that is preferably adapted to ensure contact between theexternal element 4a-4d and theinternal element 2a-2d when theexternal element 4a-4d performs a translational motion toward theinternal element 2a-2d and/or theexternal element 4a-4d performs an oscillation toward theinternal element 2a-2d allowed by the elastically yieldingelement 6a-6d. - In this manner, accidental contact between the
external element 4a-4d and theinternal element 2a-2d during normal use of the fixture is avoided with absolute certainty, while contact between theexternal element 4a-4d and theinternal element 2a-2d is assured during break-in attempts of any kind. - The elastically yielding
element 6a-6d is preferably constituted by a rubber profiled element, which is connected to the sides of theexternal element 4a-4d and of theinternal element 2a-2d that face each other. - The device according to the invention is intended mainly for installation on armoured doors provided internally with a metallic structure that comprises a
plate 7a, 7b, 7c, which supports theouter panel outer panel 5a-5c. - More particularly, the pairs of security elements comprise pairs of perimetric security elements 1a, 1b, 1c, of the type shown in particular in
Figures 3, 4, 5 ,7 and8 , and pairs ofcentral security elements 1d, of the type shown in particular inFigures 6 and9 . - The pair of perimetric security elements 1a, shown in particular in
Figures 3 ,7 and8 , is designed to be arranged at the vertical sides of the door. In this pair of perimetric security elements, theinternal element 2a is constituted by a metallic profiled element that has, on one of its sides, a first contouredwing 10a, which can be inserted in theperimetric seat panel internal element 2a has, on the opposite side with respect to thecontoured wing 10a, awing 12a that is bent toward the outer side of the fixture, i.e., toward theexternal element 4a. - The
external element 4a also is constituted by a metallic profiled element that has, on its side proximate to thecontoured wing 10a, a wing that is bent in a U-like shape so as to form aseat 13a that accommodates the corresponding vertical side of thepanel seat wing 10a of theinternal element 2a. On the opposite side, theexternal element 4a has awing 14a that is bent toward the outer side of the fixture and laterally faces, toward the inside, thewing 12a of theinternal element 2a. - The pair of perimetric security elements 1b, shown in
Figure 4 , is composed of aninternal element 2b, which is constituted by a metallic profiled element, which has a wing 12b provided like thewing 12a and, on the opposite side, awing 10b that protrudes above the upper side of themetallic structure - The external element 4b of the pair of security elements 1b is provided substantially like the
external element 4a already described, i.e., with a wing that is bent in a U-like shape so as to form a seat 13b that accommodates the upper side of thepanel wing 14b that is bent and faces laterally, on the inner side, the wing 12b. - The pairs of perimetric security elements 1c, shown in
Figure 5 , is designed to be arranged proximate to the lower side of the door. In this case, theinternal element 2c, constituted by a metallic profiled element, has awing 12c that is provided substantially like thewings 12a and 12b already described and has, at the opposite side, awing 10c that is substantially bent in a U-like shape. The external element 4c is also constituted by a metallic profiled element, which is provided substantially like theexternal elements 4a and 4b already described, i.e., with a wing that is bent in a U-like shape so as to form a seat 13c that accommodates the lower side of thepanel wing 12c. - The pair of
central security elements 1d, shown in particular inFigures 6 and9 , has aninternal element 2d, which is constituted by a metallic profiled element that has a substantially U-shaped transverse cross-section and is directed with its two arms toward theexternal element 4d, i.e., toward the outer side of the fixture. Theexternal element 4d also is constituted by a metallic profiled element that has a substantially inverted U-shaped transverse cross-section that is inverted over theinternal element 2d so as to partially accommodate theinternal element 2d between the two branches of the U-shape. Two elastically yieldingelements 6d are interposed between theinternal element 2d and theexternal element 4d. - The pairs of security elements are connected to the metallic structure of the fixture and the
internal elements 2a-2d are electrically connected to each other by means of electric wires or preferably, as shown, by connecting said elements mechanically and electrically to themetallic structure external elements 4a-4d are connected electrically to each other by means of electrically conductingwires 30 and are insulated from theinternal elements 2a-2d when no contact with theinternal elements 2a-2d occurs, i.e., in the absence of break-in forces applied to the fixture. Theelectric wires 30, which connect one another theexternal elements 4a-4d, and themetallic structure internal elements 2a-2d, lead to twoelectrical cables electrical cables electrical coupling 33, which is provided proximate to the side of the fixture that is pivoted to the walled-inframe 34 of the fixture and is engaged when the fixture is closed. - These
electrical cables - As an alternative, the anti-theft device can be connected directly to the
electric wires 30 and to the internal structure of the fixture or to the wires that connect one another theinternal elements 2a-2d and can be arranged inside the fixture. - The connection of the pairs of security elements 1a-1d to the
metallic structure plate 7a, 7b, 7c, is performed by means of screws, nails, or othermetallic connection elements 20, which are inserted through appropriately providedholes internal element external element 4a, 4b, 4c, in the case of the pairs of perimetric security elements 1a-1c, and in the singleinternal element 2d in the case of the pairs ofcentral security elements 1d. In the pairs ofcentral security elements 1d, the connectingelement 20 simply establishes a mechanical and electrical connection between theinternal element 2d and theplate 7a, 7b, 7c. - In the case of the pairs of perimetric security elements 1a-1c, the connecting
element 20 establishes a mechanical and electrical connection between theinternal element 2a-2c and theplate 7a, 7b, 7c, and establishes merely a mechanical connection between theexternal element 4a-4d and theplate 7a, 7b, 7c. For this purpose, thehole 17 provided in theexternal element 4a-4c of the pairs of perimetric security elements 1a-1c is fitted around abush 18 made of electrically insulating material, which is crossed by theconnecting element 20. The coupling between theexternal element 4a-4c and saidbush 18 is such as to allow theexternal element 4a-4c to oscillate with respect to theinternal element 2a-2c, as will become better apparent hereinafter. - In practice, the
external elements 4a-4d and theinternal elements 2a-2d of the various pairs of security elements 1a-1d that are interposed between thepanel plate 7a, 7b, 7c constitute the two contacts of a normally-open circuit breaker, i.e., a circuit breaker that is open when no break-in force is applied to the fixture. -
Figure 1 illustrates the application of a device according to the invention to a single-leaf door 21, whileFigure 2 illustrates the application of the device to a two-leaf door, with amain leaf 22 that is provided substantially like the leaf 21 ofFigure 1 and with asecondary leaf 23 that is provided with pairs ofcentral security elements 1d and with pairs of perimetric security elements 1a-1c on three of its sides, except for the side directed toward themain leaf 22. The greater thickness of thesecondary leaf 23, caused by the presence of the device according to the invention, is compensated by means of an appropriately provided profiledelement 24. - Operation of the device according to the invention is as follows.
- During an attempt to break into the fixture, if a
metallic lever 40 is inserted between one of the perimetric sides and the walled-inframe 34 of the fixture or between the fixture and the floor, saidlever 40 electrically connects anexternal element 4a-4c to aninternal element 2a-2c, closing the electric circuit breaker constituted by these two elements, as shown inFigure 7 . The closure of said circuit breaker can be used, in an electronic anti-theft device connected to thecables - If the
lever 40 that is used for the break-in is unable to establish an electrical connection between theexternal element 4a-4c and an internal element 1a-1c, continuing the break-in attempt produces a displacement of theexternal element 4a-4c with respect to theinternal element 2a-2c due to the yielding of theelastic element 6a-6c, which causes, in any case, contact between theexternal element 4a-4c and theinternal element 2a-2c, closing the electric circuit breaker constituted by these two elements, as shown inFigure 8 . Likewise, the closure of the circuit breaker can be used, by means of a suitable circuit, to signal the break-in attempt and/or emit signals to discourage the break-in attempt. - If the break-in attempt, instead of affecting the perimetric sides of the fixture, affects the central region, by means of a pushing action, at least some of the
external elements 4d of the pair ofcentral security elements 1d and at least some of theexternal elements 4a-4c of the pairs of perimetric security elements 1a-1c make contact with the correspondinginternal element Figure 9 . In this case also, the closure of the electric circuit breaker can be used to indicate the break-in attempt and/or activate signals to discourage the break-in attempt. - It should be noted that in a particularly simplified embodiment of the device according to the invention, the
internal element metal plate 7a, 7b, 7c itself. In this case, theexternal element 4a, 4b, 4c of the pairs of perimetric security elements 1a, 1b, 1c is connected mechanically to theplate 7a, 7b, 7c and is insulated electrically from it in a manner similar to what has already been described, for example by means of the metallic connectingelements 20 and by means of thebushes 18, and by means of the spacing action performed by theelastic elements 6a-6c; the normally-open circuit breaker closes by way of the electrical connection established by thelever 40 or by another electrically conducting object and/or by way of the direct contact of theexternal element plate 7a, 7b, 7c as a consequence of the yielding of theelastic elements 6a-6d. - In practice it has been found that the device according to the invention fully achieves the intended aim, since it can be used effectively both to detect the beginning of break-in attempts on the door or fixture in general and to discourage the burglar from proceeding with the attempt, thus avoiding severe damage to the fixture.
- Another advantage of the device according to the invention is that it does not require the use of sensors, which could easily cause false alarm.
- The device thus conceived is susceptible of numerous modifications and variations, all of which are within the scope of the appended claims; all the retails may further be replaced with other technically equivalent elements.
- In practice, the materials used, so long as they are compatible with the specific use, as well as the dimensions, may be any according to requirements and to the state of the art.
- Where technical features mentioned in any claim are followed by reference signs, those reference signs have been included for the sole purpose of increasing the intelligibility of the claims and accordingly such reference signs do not have any limiting effect on the interpretation of each element identified by way of example by such reference signs.
