Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a panel for sectional doors.
  • Sectional doors today represent the maximum quality standard for closing an access space to a residential or industrial building.
  • Panels for sectional doors are currently formed from two suitably profiled metal plates sandwiched together and enclosing foamed polyurethane as insulating agent.
  • the panels are generally hinged together using intermediate and/or lateral hinges mounted on the ends of the panels by suitable fixing means.
  • EP-A-0623724 discloses a panel for sectional doors in which the adjacents panels are hinged together by means of hinge parts forming part of the panel.
  • the latter has in fact a first longitudinal end having a more outer circular profile part and a second longitudinal end opposite to the first and having a recess of circular narrow-mouthed shape arranged to matchingly receive said circular profile part of another panel having identical ends such as to couple and hinge the panels together.
  • Said circular profiled part and circular recess have the same center which is offset to the medium plane of each panel. To insert the circular profile part of a panel in the circular recess of an adjacent panel it is necessary that the medium planes of the to panels form a suitable angle.
  • a sliding-folding door which comprises a plurality of panels, each panel being hinged to the adjacent one in a manner similar to that for hinging the panels in EP-A-0623724.
  • each panel can rotate around a vertical axis which lies in the medium plane of the panel. Also in this case, for rotatably coupling two adjacent panels it is necessary that the medium planes of the two panels form a suitable angle.
  • the main object of the present invention is to provide a panel for sectional doors, in which the hinging between adjacent panels does not depend on appropriate hinges fixed to the panels.
  • the present invention provides a panel 1 for sectional doors, comprising a profiled outer metal plate and a profiled inner metal plate, connected together to form an interspace occupied by an insulating means, such as foamed polyurethane, characterised by presenting: a first longitudinal end having a more outer substantially circular profile part and a more inner narrow connecting part, and a second longitudinal end opposite the first and presenting a substantially circular narrow-mouthed recess arranged to receive said more outer part of another panel having identical ends such as to couple and hinge the panels together.
  • an insulating means such as foamed polyurethane
  • the panel is formed from extruded profile bars, one of which forms the first longitudinal end having a more outer part of substantially circular profile and a more inner narrow connecting part, second extruded profile bar forming the second longitudinal end opposite the first and presenting a narrow-mouthed substantially circular recess.
  • Figure 1 shows a section through the panel 1 and its main component elements, namely: a profiled metal plate forming the profile part on the outer side 2, of the sectional door, a differently profiled metal plate forming the profile part on the inner side 4, and an internal space bounded by said profiled plates 2 and 4, and filled with foamed polyurethane 3.
  • the panel 1 for sectional doors obtained in accordance with the present invention by coupling together said profiled metal plates 2 and 4 and insulated with foamed polyurethane 3, which also acts as a binder, comprises (see Figure 4 in particular):
  • Said ends 6 and 7 of each individual panel 1 can be coupled and hinged to the matching ends of other identical panels 1' by being simply inserted manually and thrust in the direction of the height axis without the aid of hinges or other connection means (see top of Figure 5), or by inserting the said matching ends of the individual panels into each other by simply sliding them mutually in the direction of the panel length.
  • This hinging together of the panels is such as to generate an always perfect rotation thereof during the opening and closure of the sectional door.
  • Said shaped fixing profile portions 20-21-22-23 and 29-30-31-32 present at the lower end 7 are shaped such that the initial portions 22-23 and 29-30 forming the access mouth 8A to the recess 8 are positioned below the centre 25 of said recess 8 and have a minimum distance apart which is less than the diameter of the more outer part 5 of the upper end 6, such as to embrace said part 5 when inserted and prevent its easy disengagement during normal operation of the sectional door.
  • said more outer part 5 of the upper end 6 is inclined towards the interior of the space closed by the sectional door, to prevent (both during the closing movement and during the opening movement) the fingers being squashed by the outside of the door, which could otherwise occur between the shaped fixing profile portion 20-21 ( Figure 6) of the lower end 7 and the radius-joining portion 10-11 of the upper end 6, during their mutual rotation.
  • This risk can be: a) either accepted by the manufacturer who must display it by means of a warning on the door and in the operation and maintenance manual; b) or eliminated by applying a semirigid gasket in proximity to the inner lower edge 7 of the panel. Said gasket must suitably extend beyond the edge 19 of the consecutive panel.
  • the sectional panel 1 for doors comprises extruded aluminium profile bars as shown in Figures 7, 8, 9, with each individual panel 1 being formed by joining together an upper profile bar 37, a lower profile bar 38 and a possible reinforcement bar 39, and by a plurality of interchangeable commercial elements such as aluminium glass holders 41, 42 for single and double glass 40, external and internal rubber seal holders 43, 42, and aluminium spacers 45.
  • the upper profile bar 37 has a more outer substantially circular part 5', and a more inner narrow connecting part 10', 11', 17', 18', 19'.
  • the lower profile bar 38 shaped as said recess profile (here indicated by 8).
  • the arrangement is such that said ends 37, 38 can be coupled and hinged to matching ends of other identical extruded aluminium panels by simple push-fitting or by inserting one into the other by longitudinal sliding, without the aid of hinges or other connection means.
  • the web abutment profile bar and the ground resting profile bar are indicated by 46 and 47 respectively in Figure 7C.
  • a plurality of elastic half-rings 9 of self-lubricating material can be inserted into said recess profiles 8, 38 for the whole or part of the panel length, spaced apart by a distance approximately equal to the height of the panel 1.
  • the invention enables sectional doors of differing composition (homogeneous or non-homogeneous) to be formed. Specifically:
  • a characteristic of the present invention is that each pair of consecutive panels, situated in a vertical position, are always in a state of equilibrium, in that the points of contact within the mutual hinging of the profiled ends are symmetrical about the centre of rotation, from which there derives a second but no less important advantage represented by the fact that the intrinsic weight of the panels is discharged to the ground without generating undesirable transverse components to misalign the profiles, as happens with current sectional panels. Moreover when further lateral stresses arise on the panels, generated by the external wind, these propagate uniformly along the entire mutual panel hinging, to result in a uniform deflection less than that of current panels. All this enables doors to be constructed which are more resistant and lasting with time.
  • the panel of the present invention enables sectional doors to be constructed with improved air and water permeability characteristics in that the mutual hinging of the panels, when in their normal vertical position, presents points of contact in the mutual end portions 12, 22 and 16, 30 which always adhere longitudinally along the entire length of the panel. This prevents free passage of air and water between the outside and inside. In particular, although water particles could pass through said portions 12, 22, they would then fall outwards by gravity because of the arched shape of the hinging positioned at a level higher than that of the water entry point.
  • the thermal insulation provided by a door constructed with panels of the present invention is greater than the current market standard, as there are no thermal bridges in the hinging between the panels.
  • the invention Because of its constructional simplicity, the invention presents few problems during procurement, construction, transport, handling, installation or lifting, and offers maintenance simplicity and lower costs compared with current standards.
