Definitions

  • the present invention refers to a modular reduced-encumbrance winding system and to a procedure for installing such system for winding roller shutters and/or mosquito nets and the like in window and door frames, particularly to be applied to mobile houses, bungalows, boat-houses, campers, roulottes, trailers and caravans.
  • winding systems belonging to the prior art has several problems either as regards the functional aspects or as regards the practicality of their operating laying.
  • the winding systems with a single roll are highly bulky, which is an extremely negative aspect when they have to be installed on mobile houses, bungalows, boat-houses, campers, trailers and caravans that, due to their own nature, are characterized by main structures with limited resistance and thickness.
  • they require devices with as more reduced encumbrance as possible, and they require the preparation of special housings for their operating laying.
  • Object of the present invention is solving the above prior-art problems, by providing a reduced-encumbrance winding system that allows using cases with smaller sizes and a lower side encumbrance.
  • a further object of the present invention is providing a reduced-encumbrance winding system that, being dimensionally more compatible with the mobile house wall thickness, is more unobtrusive to be viewed guaranteeing a better aesthetic effect.
  • Another object of the present invention is providing a reduced-encumbrance winding system composed of modular elements, already arranged for assembling in special kits and that allows the contemporary or deferred integration thereof with other elements, like mosquito net coilers.
  • a further object of the present invention is providing a winding module of winding material able to be structurally fit to also guarantee an efficient operation when such winding material is of remarkable dimensions and/or weight, as in case of metallic shutters.
  • an object of the present invention is providing an installation procedure of the parts belonging to the winding system according to the present invention, which allows their assembling and laying in a simple and fast way.
  • the modular winding system 1 of the present invention allows, with extreme rapidity and simplicity, installing, on a window or on a door 10, a reduced-encumbrance winding module 2 of winding material 2a, to which it is possible to eventually apply a winding mosquito net 4a using modules already arranged in an assembling kit.
  • the modular reduced-encumbrance winding system 1 is composed of:
  • the winding module 2 is composed of a containing case 20 provided with two side walls 2h, 2i on every one of which two symmetrically disposed insertion slots 2l, 2m, a plurality of holes 2o and two holes 2p, 2q are arranged.
  • Such slots 2l, 2m allow inserting the case on a channel that composes the lintel 10c of the frame of the door or the window 10, on which the system according to the present invention has to be installed, making its operating laying easy and fast.
  • two winding rods 2b, 2c of winding material 2a are rotatingly contained related to their respective longitudinal axes, that are arranged mutually parallel, with their own longitudinal axes perpendicular to the walls 2h, 2i and respectively passing through such walls 2h, 2i through the holes 2p, 2q; moreover, such rods 2b, 2c are hinged on the walls 2h, 2i in order to be able to rotate around their own longitudinal axes; moreover, such rods 2b, 2c are mutually connected by at least one flexible transmission system 2d, which allows them to synchronously rotate, and an end of the winding material 2a is fixed on such transmission system 2d.
  • each rod 2b, 2c is provided with at least two winding cylinders 2f in order to support and to enable the winding or the unwinding of the winding material 2a.
  • the plurality of holes 2o on the walls 2h, 2i allow fixing a winding command system 2e, well known in the art, which, connected to one of the rods 2b, 2c, commands their rotation and accordingly the winding or the unwinding of the winding material 2a. Moreover, the symmetry of such plurality of holes 2o on both walls 2h, 2i allows fixing such command system 2e indifferently to the right or to the left of such case 20, according to users' demands.
  • At least two sliding blocks are fixed through elastic means (not shown); such sliding blocks are of plastic material with low friction coefficient (i.e.: teflon) which allows a greater fluency and a smaller wear of the winding material 2a during winding and unwinding operations, especially when the winding module 2 is horizontally installed, namely with the plan that intersects the axes of the two rods 2b and 2c that is horizontally arranged.
  • teflon plastic material with low friction coefficient
  • the case 20 is provided with a safety cover (not shown) which is fixed through safety screws (not shown) in order to avoid its opening by malicious persons.
  • each module 3, 5 is provided with a sliding groove 3a, 5a (the numbers respectively refer to the module 3 and to the module 5), an insertion seat inserting one of the removable leading-in caps 3c, a clamp seat to clamp one of the removable upper limit stop pins 3d and fixing means.
  • the modules 3 are provided to be clamped, through their own fixing means, respectively to the jambs 10a, 10b of the window or door 10, while the modules 5 are provided to be clamped, through their own fixing means, to the respective modules 3 in case, subsequently, the winding module 4 of the mosquito net 4a is installed in union with the winding module 2.
  • the sliding grooves 3a of the modules 3 are destined to guide the vertical slide of the winding material 2a and to maintain it in position, when only the winding module 2 is installed, or to guide the vertical slide of the mosquito net 4a and to maintain it in position, when the winding module 2 and the winding module 4 are contemporarily installed.
  • the sliding grooves 5a of the modules 5 are provided to guide the vertical slide of the winding material 2a and to maintain it in position, when the winding module 4 and the winding module 2 are contemporarily installed.
  • the removable leading-in caps 3c are provided to be inserted, according to cases, in the aforesaid insertion seats in the upper end of the modules 3 or 5 and to guide the insertion of the winding material 2a inside the respective sliding grooves 3a of the modules 3, when only the winding module 2 is installed, or to guide the insertion of the winding material 2a inside the respective sliding grooves 5a of the modules 5, when the winding module 2 and the winding module 4 are contemporarily installed.
  • Such two removable upper limit stop pins 3d are provided, according to cases, to be fixed in the aforesaid clamp seats in the inside side end of the modules 3 or 5 and to prevent, coming in contact with a limit stop pin (not shown) positioned on the two lower side ends of the winding material 2a, an excessive rewinding of such material 2a by the user from making such material 2a come out of the sliding grooves 3a, when only the winding module 2 is installed, or of the sliding grooves 5a when the winding modules 2 and the winding module 4 are contemporarily installed.
  • such winding module 2 could be provided, depending on the length of the rods 2b, 2c and/or on the weight of the winding material 2a, with at least one support module 30 composed of two side vertical rods 30a, 30b joined by a central, "X"-spahed rib 30c and each vertical rod 30a, 30b is provided, into its opposite ends, with rolling means 30d (i.e.: through bushes or ball bearings) with low friction action in order to allow the rotation of the rods 2b, 2c passing in them: the number of such support modules 30 installed in the winding module 2 will be such as to limit the bending of the rods 2b, 2c, which could jeopardize the efficient operation of the module 2 itself.
  • rolling means 30d i.e.: through bushes or ball bearings
  • the aforesaid fixing means of such modules 3 and 5 include:
  • the procedure according to the present invention allows very easily and quickly installing either the winding module 2 only, or simultaneously the winding module 2 and the winding module 4 of the mosquito net 4a, or the winding module 4 after having already installed the winding module 2.
  • the installation procedure for the winding module 2 comprises the steps of:
  • the installation procedure according to the present invention for the winding module 2 and the winding module 4 simultaneously, comprises the steps of:
  • the installation procedure for the winding module 4 only afterwards, namely after having already installed the winding module 2, comprises the steps of:
