- the present invention relates to an outdoors curtain with drip-preventing movable profile, of the kind comprising:
- the field of the present invention is that of outdoor curtains, i.e. curtains able to serve as roofs, to protect persons or objects from the sun and the weather.
- These curtains comprise a sheet and a frame to support the sheet.
- said curtains also comprise means for actuating the sheet from one position to the other, the sheet being movable (generally in slidable fashion) relative to two longitudinal elements of the frame.
- Some curtains provide for the use of a sheet wound on a roller associated to the frame. In these cases, the sheet, during its movement, always remains tensioned and it slides relative to the two longitudinal elements of the frame.
- the sheet is retracted / re-closed in a manner called “in packets" (or “packing”), i.e. in such a way that the sheet, in the retracted position, is substantially folded back onto itself.

- windbreakers rigid elements
- transverse bar that is slidably movable between the two longitudinal elements of the frame; said transverse bar constitutes an anchoring element for the sheet, which is applied to the transverse bar itself at one of its ends.
- said curtains are generally mounted in such a way as to have a low or even null inclination relative to the underlying ground.
- the curtains and in particular the sheets of the curtains are substantially horizontal. Therefore, rain water does not easily drain towards the longitudinal end of the root and thus a part of the water that falls onto the sheet tends to flow towards the sides of the sheet itself, causing an undesired dripping and potentially damaging movement members of the curtain housed in the longitudinal elements of the frame.
- known technical solutions provide for applying anti-dripping barriers to the sheet, as described for example in the utility model IT 252130 .
- said solutions have some drawbacks.
- the anti-drip barriers are inconvenient to apply; moreover, when replacing the sheet, said barriers have to be applied again; lastly, said anti-drip barriers do not allow to repair the transverse elements completely and effectively, because they do not provide any tightness at all.
- An object of the present invention is to eliminate the aforesaid drawbacks and to make available a curtain that guarantees an effective protection from rain, without dripping at the sides of the curtain and without risk that rain may damage the curtain, seeping through to its mechanical members.

- said opposite end of the sheet 6 is fastened to a fixed portion of the frame 2, e.g. to the box body 3, without being wound, because the curtain 1 provides for the sheet 6, in the retracted position, is folded back in packet form (in a known manner).

Abstract
Description
- The present invention relates to an outdoors curtain with drip-preventing movable profile, of the kind comprising:
- a support frame provided with at least one transverse bar, slidably movable between two longitudinal elements;
- a sheet, applied to the transverse bar and slidable relative to the longitudinal elements of the frame, together with the transverse bar, from a retracted position to an extended position and vice versa.
- The field of the present invention is that of outdoor curtains, i.e. curtains able to serve as roofs, to protect persons or objects from the sun and the weather. These curtains comprise a sheet and a frame to support the sheet.
- Within this field, use is frequent of curtains able to be operated in two different operative conditions, depending on whether the shelter provided by the curtain is to be utilised or not; in a first operative condition, the sheet is in extended position, whilst in a second operative condition the sheet is in retracted / closed position. Therefore, said curtains also comprise means for actuating the sheet from one position to the other, the sheet being movable (generally in slidable fashion) relative to two longitudinal elements of the frame.
- In this light, different technical solutions are known. Some curtains provide for the use of a sheet wound on a roller associated to the frame. In these cases, the sheet, during its movement, always remains tensioned and it slides relative to the two longitudinal elements of the frame.
- In other curtains, the sheet is retracted / re-closed in a manner called "in packets" (or "packing"), i.e. in such a way that the sheet, in the retracted position, is substantially folded back onto itself. In a curtain of this kind, to the sheet are frequently transversely applied rigid elements, called windbreakers, which, during the movement of the sheet, generally slide relative to the two longitudinal elements of the frame.
- The use is also known of a transverse bar that is slidably movable between the two longitudinal elements of the frame; said transverse bar constitutes an anchoring element for the sheet, which is applied to the transverse bar itself at one of its ends.
- Since such curtains also have to provide shelter from rain, there is a problem with respect to the drainage of the rainwater that falls on the sheet. It should be noted that said curtains are generally mounted in such a way as to have a low or even null inclination relative to the underlying ground. In practice, the curtains and in particular the sheets of the curtains are substantially horizontal. Therefore, rain water does not easily drain towards the longitudinal end of the root and thus a part of the water that falls onto the sheet tends to flow towards the sides of the sheet itself, causing an undesired dripping and potentially damaging movement members of the curtain housed in the longitudinal elements of the frame.
- To overcome said drawbacks, known technical solutions provide for applying anti-dripping barriers to the sheet, as described for example in the utility model
IT 252130 - An object of the present invention is to eliminate the aforesaid drawbacks and to make available a curtain that guarantees an effective protection from rain, without dripping at the sides of the curtain and without risk that rain may damage the curtain, seeping through to its mechanical members.
- Said objects are fully achieved by the curtain of the present invention, which is characterised by the content of the appended claims and in particular in that it is provided with movable profiles, each profile being applied to a longitudinal element of the frame and provided with two operative positions:
- a lowered position for protection, assumed with the sheet extended, in which the movable profile is in pressing contact with the sheet, along a substantially longitudinal contact line;
- a raised position assumed with the sheet at least partially retracted, the passage between one operative position and the other being produced automatically by the sliding of the transverse bar, which is so shaped as to interact with the related movable profile, allowing it to be lowered or causing it to be raised.
- This and other characteristics shall become more readily apparent from the following description of a preferred embodiment, illustrated purely by way of non limiting example in the accompanying drawing tables, in which:
- Figure 1 shows a perspective view of a curtain according to the present invention, with the sheet in the extended position;
- Figure 2 shows an enlargement of a portion of the curtain of Figure 1;
- Figure 3 shows an enlargement like Figure 2, but with the sheet in slightly retracted position;
- Figure 4 shows an enlargement as in Figure 3, but according to a different perspective;
- Figure 5 shows a sectioned lateral view of an enlargement as in Figure 3;
- Figure 6 shows a bottom perspective view of a detail of the curtain of Figure 1.
- In the figures, the
reference number 1 designates a curtain according to the present invention. Thecurtain 1 comprises asupport frame 2, able to be associated to a wall or to various (substantially known) support elements. Theframe 2, in turn, comprises a fixed transverse element, preferably but not necessarily constituted by a box body 3, and twolongitudinal elements 4, fastened to the ends of the box body 3 (or of said fixed transverse element) and substantially perpendicular relative to it. - The
longitudinal elements 4 define guides (or grooves) in which atransverse bar 5 is slidably engaged. Said guides (or grooves) are defined by thelongitudinal elements 4 in preferably (but not necessarily) lateral position, i.e. on mutually opposite surfaces, facing each other, of thelongitudinal elements 4. - The
curtain 1 also comprises asheet 6, applied to thetransverse bar 5 and connected, at an opposite end, to a fixed portion of theframe 2. Thesheet 6 is movable relative to theframe 2 and in particular relative to the box body 3 and to thelongitudinal elements 4, from an extended position, in which theframe 6 is tensioned, to a retracted position, in which thesheet 6 is folded back, and vice versa. - The motion of the
sheet 6 is correlated to the sliding of thetransverse bar 5. Thesheet 6 has an end applied to thetransverse bar 5; an opposite end (in the longitudinal sense) of thesheet 6 is connected to a fixed portion of theframe 2 or to a load-bearing structure, in different manners, depending on the type of curtain. For example, thesheet 6 can be wound on a roller associated to the frame 2 (and possibly housed in the box body 3). Or, in a different embodiment (the one illustrated herein), said opposite end of thesheet 6 is fastened to a fixed portion of theframe 2, e.g. to the box body 3, without being wound, because thecurtain 1 provides for thesheet 6, in the retracted position, is folded back in packet form (in a known manner). - Therefore, the
sheet 6 defines a retractable roof and it is preferably, but not necessarily, made of fabric. Thus, thesheet 6 is movable between two operative position: an extended position (shown in Figure 1), in which the sheet is tensioned and covers the underlying area, and a recessed position, in which thesheet 6 is folded back or wound on a roller and it leaves the underlying area uncovered. - The curtain also comprises, originally,
movable profiles 7, applied to eachlongitudinal element 4 of theframe 2. Saidmovable profiles 7 are hinged on theframe 2; preferably, theprofiles 7 are hinged in particular on thelongitudinal elements 4 of theframe 2. Therefore, themovable profiles 7 are swivelling relative to thelongitudinal elements 4 of theframe 2 whereto they are anchored. Moreover, to maintain theprofiles 7 in the proper longitudinal position, intervenes a pair of detents (not shown in the accompanying figures) positioned in the hinging area between theprofile 7 and thelongitudinal elements 4, and more specifically fastened at the two ends of theprofiles 7, in thelongitudinal elements 4. Theprofiles 7 extend longitudinally for a length that is substantially equal to the length of thesheet 6 in the extended position. - Each
movable profile 7 is provided with two operative positions: a lowered position, for protection against rain, and a raised position, of non interference with thesheet 6. - Each
profile 7 assumes the lowered position when thesheet 6 is in the extended position; in the lowered position, saidprofile 7 is in pressing contact with thesheet 6, along a substantially longitudinal contact line. The length of said contact line is substantially equal to the length of thesheet 6, i.e. of the part of thesheet 6 that is uncovered in the extended position). Moreover, theprofile 7, in the lowered position, preferably defines a slide for rain water that is inclined towards thesheet 6 whereon it bears. - Each
profile 7 originally comprises agasket 8, able to provide a seal on thesheet 6, when theprofile 7 is in the lowered position. - Each
movable profile 7 assumes the raised position when thesheet 6 is at least partially retracted. Thereby, advantageously, theprofile 7 and in particular thegasket 8 is prevented from being in contact with thesheet 6 when the sheet is in motion; such a rubbing contact would entail an accelerated wear of thegasket 8, with consequent reduction in the effectiveness of theprofile 7 against rain infiltrations, and it would also cause annoying noises due to the rubbing between sheet and gasket. - The passage of each
movable profile 7 from the lowered position to the raised position and vice versa is produced automatically by the sliding of thetransverse bar 5, which is so shaped as to interact with eachmovable profile 7, allowing it to be lowered or causing it to be raised. In particular, thetransverse bar 5 superiorly has twoprojections 9, positioned at a mutual distance that is substantially equal to the distance between theprofiles 7. Saidprojections 9 are so shaped as to facilitate their insertion under themovable profiles 7, during the winding / packing of the curtain. - Each
projection 9 extends in the transverse direction for less than the width (i.e. the transverse dimension) of eachprofile 7. Moreover, eachprojection 9 extends vertically by a quantity that exceeds at least the thickness of thegasket 8. - In this way, when the
sheet 6 is at least partially retracted, eachprojection 9 is in contact with a portion of a corresponding profile 7 (in particular with a portion of the lower surface of a corresponding profile 7), thus maintaining theprofile 7 raised, but without interfering with thecorresponding gasket 8. - When the
sheet 6 is in the extended position, thetransverse bar 5, together with theprojections 9, does not interfere with themovable profiles 7, because it is in a more advanced position, relative to theprofiles 7. - In a preferred embodiment (the one illustrated herein), said
projections 9 are constituted by sliding blocks fastened to thetransverse bar 5 and interacting with the lower surface of eachmovable profile 7 without contacts with thegasket 8, when the sheet 6 (and hence the transverse bar 5) is in at least partially retracted position. - The mechanism for lifting the
profile 7 by thetransverse bar 5 and by theblocks 9 is facilitated by aterminal slide 11 fastened on the end of theprofile 7 interacting with theblocks 9. In a different embodiment, saidslide 11 can be defined by the edge of theprofile 7 interacting with theblock 9, said edge having chamfered / rounded shape. - The
curtain 1 also compriseselastic element 10, operatively active between eachmovable profile 7 and a fixed portion of theframe 2, in such a way that eachprofile 7 applies a pressing action on thesheet 6, when thesheet 6 is in the extended position, to hold eachmovable profile 7 normally in the lowered position. In particular, said pressing action is applied to the surface (line) of contact between eachgasket 8 and thesheet 6. On the contrary, when thesheet 6 is in an at least partially retracted position, said pressing action produced by theelastic elements 10 is developed between a portion of the lower surface of eachprofile 7 and thecorresponding projection 9. In the illustrated embodiment (Figure 6), saidelastic elements 10 are constituted by springs, each of which has one end connected to aprofile 7 and another end fastened to alongitudinal element 4 of theframe 2. - Therefore, the
curtain 1 of the present invention advantageously enables to shelter a surface from the sun or weather, favouring the outflow of the water that falls on thesheet 6 of the curtain in longitudinal sense and equally preventing the lateral dripping or the infiltration of water from thesheet 6 into the elements of theframe 2 of the curtain, thanks to the use ofmovable profiles 7. - Another advantage originally offered by the
curtain 1 of the invention is that themovable profiles 7, able to protect theframe 2 of the curtain against water and to prevent lateral dripping, are automatically activated when thesheet 6 is in extended position and are placed, also automatically, in a raised position during the movement of thesheet 6, avoiding risks of damaging theprofiles 7. - Another advantage originally offered by the
curtain 1 of the invention is that themovable profiles 7 provide a seal on thesheet 6, thanks to the presence ofgaskets 8 pressing on the sheet, thereby assuring a particularly effective protection against undesired water infiltrations.
