Abstract
Description
- The present invention relates to a device for adjusting the tension of the return spring of mosquito nets, roller curtains or the like.
- Generally, in this type of architectural light covers, a fabric, a sheet or a net is wound and unwound on a sheet-bearing roller mounted rotatably at its ends to the heads of a roller shutter box. At its end opposite the one fastened to the sheet-bearing roller, the sheet or the like has a terminal for stiffening and loading it. Normally, a torsion-operated return spring co-operates with the sheet-bearing roller, so that when the sheet or the like is unwound, the spring is further loaded with an action antagonist to the unwinding. In this way, the reverse rotation of the sheet-bearing roller, and hence the winding of the sheet or the like, takes place thanks to the release of the elastic energy of the spring stored by the return spring in the unwinding phase.
- Hence, the return spring that is under tension serves the function of allowing both to rewind the sheet and to maintain the sheet tensioned. If the tension of the spring is insufficient, it may occur that the sheet fails to rewind completely or remains loose.
- It is evident that adjustment of the tension is necessary at the time of the installation of the mosquito net or the like, but it can be required subsequently, when, with time and with wear, the tension of the spring can be modified.
- Mechanisms for loading and unloading the tension of the return spring are already known in the state of the art, see e.g.
US-2060676 A , but this operation can be performed only when assembling the mosquito net or the like and, in any case, before installation. Therefore, in known mechanisms, to modify the tension of the return spring it is necessary to remove the mosquito net or the like. Moreover, with known mechanisms, the adjustment of the return spring cannot be micrometric or precise, but it can involve large adjustment intervals, such as a complete rotation of the return spring, i.e. the formation of new turn. - An object of the present invention is to allow an adjustment of the return spring of a mosquito net or the like even after its installation, without requiring its disassembly.
- Another object of the invention is to allow an adjustment of the return spring of a mosquito net or the like with precision and in a wide interval.
- Therefore, according to the present invention a device for adjusting the tension of the return spring of a mosquito net, a roller curtain or the like comprises the features mentioned in the appended claim.
- The advantages of the invention are evident. It can be applied to existing mosquito net and the like, simply by a replacing a conventional header thereof.
- The device enables to adjust the tension of the return spring of the mosquito net or the like in micrometric fashion, and additional said operation can be performed even after the mosquito net or the like is mounted.
- Oftentimes, after installation the technician realises the need for a greater and smaller tension of the return spring. Thanks to the device according to the present invention, (s)he can proceed with said adjustment, once the installation is complete, using a simple tool, such as a hexagon ring wrench or Allen wrench.
- Moreover, the device according to the invention allows a reduction in installation times and a more precise adjustment of the tension of the spring, considering that said tension is not always foreseeable before installation because there are multiple factors that determine tension. Said factors are, for example, the variability of the width and height of the mosquito net or the like, the number of turns of the spring, friction on the guides, and other factors besides.
- It will be readily understood that with the device according to the invention, the operation of adjusting the return spring, thanks to its extreme ease, can be performed directly by the user, without having to request a technician's intervention.
- The invention shall be more readily apparent through the detailed description that follows of an embodiment thereof, considered together with the enclosed drawing, in which:
-
Figure 1 is a partial and partially exploded axonometric view of a mosquito net provided with a device for adjusting the tension of the return spring according to the invention; and -
Figure 2 is a partially exploded axonometric view of the device for adjusting the tension of the return spring in the longitudinal direction towards the sheet-bearing roller of the mosquito net ofFigure 1 . - With reference initially to the partial and partially exploded axonometric view of a mosquito net of
Figure 1 , the figure shows a sheet-bearingroller 1, a sheet 2 or the like, having an end integral with the sheet-bearingroller 1, aroller shutter box 3 and only onehead 4 thereof, the one with return spring (not shown). For the sake of simplicity, inFigure 1 are not shown, because they are known, the other parts comprising the mosquito net, i.e. the rest of thesheet 1 with end terminal opposite to the end connected to the sheet-bearing roller, the other head of the roller shutter box, i.e. the one with the bushing, and the sliding frame of the mosquito net. - As shown in
Figure 1 , the sheet-bearingroller 1 has asection bar 5 internally grooved for engagement with thehead 4 with return spring and with a head with bushing, not shown in the drawings. Thehead 4 with return spring is provided with a device for adjusting the tension of the return spring of the of the sheet or the like according to the invention, shown exploded inFigure 2 according to a longitudinal direction of the sheet-bearing roller. - With reference to
Figure 2 , the device for adjusting the tension of the return spring according to the invention, obtained on thehead 4 with return spring, comprises a shaped piece 7 with substantially known conformation, hence not described in detail herein. The shaped piece 7 is such as to constitute a closing element for theroller shutter box 3 shown inFigure 1 . The shaped piece 7 of thehead 4 centrally presents acylindrical seat 8 ending in a stop 9. - According to the present invention, on an outer wall 10 of the shaped piece 7 of the
head 4 is obtained a through hole 11, whilst within theheader 4 is formed adead hole 12. The through hole 11 and thedead hole 12 constitute end bearing seats of ascrew 13. Thescrew 13, preferably having ahexagonal socket head 130, is engaged with an internallyhollow gear wheel 14, housed rotatably in thecylindrical seat 8 of the shaped piece 7 of thehead 4. Thescrew 13 and thegear wheel 14 constitute a worm screw assembly, which, like other parts of the mosquito net or the like, can conveniently be made of plastic material, preferably charged nylon. Thegear wheel 14 internally presents acircumferential abutment 15. Within thegear wheel 14 is positioned ahelical spring 16, preferably made of harmonic steel, havingends ends circumferential abutment 15 of thegear wheel 14. The function of thehelical spring 16 will be readily apparent in the remainder of the description. On thehelical spring 16 thus mounted is applied afirst support element 17, having acylindrical base portion 18, an intermediatecylindrical portion 19 and atapered terminal portion 20. The basecylindrical portion 18 of thesupport element 17 is received within thegear wheel 14 until the stop element 9 of theseat 8 of thehead 4 snaps on thetapered terminal portion 20 of thesupport element 17. Lastly, on thesupport element 17 is positioned a sleeve orrotor 21. Therotor 21 comprises atubular portion 22 and aportion 23 with circular crown shape. Thetubular portion 22 is grooved externally and substantially cylindrical in its interior. The grooved outer profile of thetubular portion 22 is adapted to be engaged, without possibility of rotating, in the internallygrooved section bar 5, whilst the substantially cylindrical inner surface of thetubular portion 22 is adapted to receive rotatably the intermediatecylindrical portion 19 of thesupport element 17. - The device for adjusting the return spring according to the invention is positioned, as described above, on the
head 4. Thehead 4 is fastened to the ends of theroller shutter box 3, e.g. by means of screws, so that thetubular portion 22 of therotor 21 is engaged with thesection bar 5 of the sheet-bearingroller 1. On the terminal taperedportion 20 of thesupport element 17 is fixed areturn spring 25 that enables the rotation of the sheet-bearingroller 1. The opposite head, not shown, will be applied to the side of theroller shutter box 3 opposite the side of thehead 4, with the related bushing inserted in thesection bar 5. The opposite head is simply for the abutment of the sheet-bearingroller 1, i.e. without the device for adjusting the return spring. - The
return spring 25 whereto is anchored at one end thetapered terminal 20 of thesupport element 17 passes through thetubular portion 22 of therotor 21 within thesection bar 5 of the sheet-bearing roller 1 (not shown inFigure 2 ). The other end of the spring is fastened to asecond support element 170, slidable relative to thesection bar 5 of the sheet-bearingroller 1, but without possibility of rotating relative thereto, thanks to the externally grooved conformation of theportion 220. - In the operation of raising and lowering the sheet 2, the
support element 17 is always integral with thegear wheel 14 by means of thestop element 15 situated circumferentially to the interior of thegear wheel 14. The force couples that act on thesupport element 17 cannot produce rotation because, through aslot 24 of thecylindrical base portion 18 act on theends helical spring 16, tightening it around theseat 8 of thehead 4. The force couples acting on thegear wheel 14 instead tend to widen thetorsion spring 16 and hence produce rotation in both directions. However, thegear wheel 14 cannot rotate spontaneously because it engaged with thescrew 13. - Using an Allen wrench (not shown), introduced into the through hole 11 of the shaped piece 7 and acting on the
hexagonal socket head 130 of thescrew 13, it is possible to actuate rotations of thegear wheel 14 and, consequently, of thesupport element 17. - Summarising, in the normal operation of the mosquito net or the like the
helical spring 16 serves the purpose of keeping the return spring uncoupled from the gear wheel, whilst thesupport element 17 is normally always torsion stressed because it is integral with thereturn spring 25. - To adjust the tension of the
return spring 25, thehelical spring 16 serves the purpose of coupling thereturn spring 25 with thegear wheel 14. If thegear wheel 14 is made to rotate in the direction in which thereturn spring 25 is loaded, an adjustment is made whereby the sheet 2, supported by the sheet-bearingroller 1, is rewound with greater speed. Inverting the rotation of thescrew 13, the reverse adjustment is made and the sheet 2 is rewound at slower speed. - Variations and changes can be made to the embodiment described above, without thereby departing from the scope of the invention as defined in the claims that follow.
