Definitions

  • the present invention refers to a trolley moving system, in particular for mobile roofs of boats.
  • retractable telescopic canopies manually and/or automatically actuated, according to whether they can be opened or closed manually or by means of electrical actuators and drive belts.
  • they are totally retractable, i.e. they can withdraw telescopically, by means of suitable moving trolleys, in suitable housings built in to the boat.
  • the purpose of the present invention is, therefore, to avoid the aforementioned drawbacks and, in particular, to make a trolley moving system, in particular for mobile roofs of boats, which allows rapid structural degradation of said mobile roofs to be avoided, above all in partially or totally open position, due to the vibrations caused both by the crashing of the structure of the boat against the waves and by the operation of the boat's engine.
  • Another purpose of the invention is to make a trolley moving system, in particular for mobile roofs of boats, which allows a reduction of the noise due to the knocking of the moving parts of the system during navigation or with the engine switched on.
  • a further purpose of the invention is to make a trolley moving system, in particular for mobile roofs of boats, which, despite the formation of the salty surface crust that is normally created on the various components and on the moving parts of the system, due to the continuous exposure to the salty air and/or to humidity in general, makes it easier for the trolley to slide without much impediment, indeed carrying out a sort of cleaning of the surfaces of the sliding guide.
  • trolley moving system object of the present invention, can also be applied to different types of product and in any case can be made for all systems suitable for moving panels or, in general, extensive surfaces.
  • reference numeral 50 generically indicates a portion of mobile canopy, to which a sliding block 1 is fixed, capable of sliding on a shaped aluminium guide 14, which has a profile 53 shaped like a sharp edge and is made from non-hygroscopic plastic material and, preferably, polyethylene; the sliding block 1 is made to translate by known actuations (such as belt motors) and is connected to an articulated system 49, shaped like a trolley, as well as, furthermore, to an attachment system to the mobile canopy 50 for moving the latter.
  • actuations such as belt motors
  • the attachment system for moving the mobile canopy 50 can be made on the outside of the roof 50, as represented in figures 1-4 and generically indicated with reference numeral 51, or else, alternatively, it can be made built in to the roof 50, as illustrated in detail in figure 5 and generically indicated with reference numeral 52, for applications on plexiglass or crystal roofs, on a frame preferably made from aluminium.
  • the articulated system 49 comprises a base plate 2, used for the sliding of the sliding block 1, which is fixed to the sliding block 1 through fixing means, such screws 15, washers 16 and lock nuts 17, and a cap 4, which incorporates a ball socket joint 48.
  • the ball socket joint 48 is damped, thanks to the presence of a shaped silicon rubber insert 3, which rests at the bottom on the sliding block 1; the articulation 48 is also connected to a pin 5, complete with lower locking washer 6, for the connection to the attachment system to the roof 50.
  • such an attachment system (in this case outside of the roof 50) comprises a threading bushing 7, which extends between the pin 5 and the structure of the canopy 50, and, on top, to shaped locknuts 8, 9.
  • the attachment system built in to the roof 50 includes a first threaded bushing 18, which is inserted in contact with the pin 5, opposite a second shaped bushing 21, closed on top by a polyethylene plug 22, which is inserted in contact with the crystal of the roof 50, through the interposition of a silicon rubber cup gasket 20; closing is carried out by means of a nut 19, tight on the pin 5.
  • a sliding block 1, made from non-hygroscopic plastic material and able to slide on the guide 14, determines a substantial reduction, if not a complete elimination, of the salty surface crust, normally present on the components of the moving system and responsible for serious and frequent malfunctions; in particular, the sharp edge of the sliding block 1, which slides in contact with the matching profile of the guide 14, is responsible for a complete cleaning, since the guide 14 is, in this way, self-cleaning at each passage of the sliding block 1, during the moving of the canopy 50.
  • the described attachment systems to the mobile roof 50 are substantially easy to mount, since they are based upon the use of a ball socket joint, which can also have damping means for coupling with the sliding block 1.
  • the trolley moving system described up to now also foresees the use of a mechanical brake (figure 3), as anti-vibration system, made thanks to the use of a polyethylene pad 10, pressed inside a through hole made on the plate 2 and on the sliding block 1; the pad 10 is subject to the pressing action of a fixing grain 13, contained inside a threaded bushing 12, which pushes on a cylinder 54, through the interposition of a spring 11.
  • a mechanical brake (figure 3), as anti-vibration system, made thanks to the use of a polyethylene pad 10, pressed inside a through hole made on the plate 2 and on the sliding block 1; the pad 10 is subject to the pressing action of a fixing grain 13, contained inside a threaded bushing 12, which pushes on a cylinder 54, through the interposition of a spring 11.
  • the pad 10 makes contact with the guide 14 and can be pushed more in contrast to it, suitably adjusting the grain 13, for a greater braking action on the guide 14.
  • figures 6-8 which show a particular belt-driven moving system for mobile roofs of boats, according to the present invention
  • the same components shown in figures 1-5 are indicated with the same reference numerals; in particular, figures 6-8 show, as a non-limiting example, a moving system comprising a ball socket joint 48 of an articulated system and damped 49, of the type of those illustrated in figures 1-5, and an attachment system 51, visible in figure 4, which is structural, adjustable (even separately from the ball socket joint 48) and outside the mobile roof 50, of the type of those illustrated in figures 1-4.
  • the sliding block 1 is used as a means for pulling the belt 13, moved through the wheel 34, the idle sheave 21 (complete with sheave bracket 23 and attachment pin 24) and the toothed pulley 14, the latter fixed in position by means of the key 15 and the pin 16 and supported by the bracket 17, in turn fixed to the central drawplate 45, through the screw 18.
  • the central drawplate 45 is then connected to the base guide 32 by means of the connection drawplate 47, whereas a C-shaped sliding block 31 for supporting the geared motor 26 is mounted on the base guide 32.
  • the geared motor 26 also foresees a pin 22 for the actuation imparted by the motor 42, equipped with encoder; such actuation is determined by the movement of the tie rods 30, connected to compression springs 40 that push on respective front plates 38, thanks to the attachment of the nuts 37, 41.
  • the structure described above allows the knocks transmitted to the belt 13, usually made from rubber, possibly with added Kevlar ⁇ fibres, during navigation to be damped, safeguarding its integrity.
  • the tension of the belt 13 can be easily modified by acting upon the nuts 37, 41, which are thus used in order to obtain a correct adjustment of the tension.
