Definitions

  • the invention relates to a louver for controlling light or ventilation through an architectural opening, such as a window, in a building.
  • louver having an elongate generally rectangular panel with opposite first and second longitudinal edge portions, is known from US 1 403 054 .
  • This louver is supported on an elongate support bar, extending longitudinally of the panel, by two holding brackets extending transversely of the support bar. Each bracket can be readily attached to and hold one of the opposite longitudinal ends of the panel.
  • louver has been successfully used in many applications but is limited by the size of the panel, between its opposite longitudinal ends, that the louver's brackets can support. It has thus been necessary to span larger areas of panels by a succession of louvers and intermediate frame members as also shown in US 1 403 054 . There has been a long felt need, therefore, to support larger panels on an elongate support bar with brackets that are also simple to attach to the panels.
  • each bracket can be longer but has a hook which can easily engage a key on the support bar to securely attach the bracket and support bar together to hold larger panels on the support bar.
  • FIGS 1 and 2 show a louver L of this invention.
  • the top of the louver L holds an elongate, generally rectangular panel 1 which can be perforated in different ways as shown, for example, in Figures 1 and 2 .
  • the louver L has a central, elongate, longitudinally-extending support bar 3 and at least one pair of laterally-extending brackets 4 on laterally opposite sides of the support bar 3 for holding the panel 1 on the louver, above the support bar 3.
  • Each holding bracket 4 has a laterally-extending bracket member 4A and a vertically-extending bracket member 4B which cooperate with the support bar 3 to securely hold the bracket 4 on the support bar 3 and securely hold the panel 1 between brackets on laterally opposite sides of the support bar.
  • each pair of laterally-extending bracket members 4A is shaped to closely engage and support the interior surfaces of the inturned lateral rims 11 of the panel 1.
  • Each longitudinal end of the support bar 3 can be provided with a pivot journal (not shown) for pivotally supporting the louver L between uprights of a building (as described, for example, in US 1 403 054 ).
  • each upper key way formation K1 has a mating ball and socket arrangement.
  • This arrangement includes a longitudinally elongate rib 6 extending laterally from an upper lateral portion of a bracket 4 on one lateral side of the louver towards a mating longitudinally elongate socket 7 on an upper portion of an adjacent lateral side of the support bar 3 on the same lateral side of the louver.
  • each rib 6 has a vertical cross-section which is generally round but a portion of which forms a chord 6A of a circle and is flat.
  • the rib 6 can be held securely in the socket 7 by rotating the rib's bracket 4 and its laterally-extending bracket member 4A downwardly (in the direction of the arrow in Figure 3 ) toward the support bar 3 to rotate the rib, so that the rib's flat portion 6A is no longer at or near the bottom of the rib or the socket.
  • each lower key way formation K2 has a snap-fit arrangement.
  • This arrangement includes a hook 8 extending laterally from the bottom of the lower bracket member 4B of each bracket 4 on opposite lateral sides of the louver towards a longitudinally-extending groove 9 in the bottom of the support bar 3.
  • a vertically-extending interior lateral surface 8A of each hook 8 is adapted to frictionally engage an adjacent vertically-extending lateral surface 9A of the groove 9 on the same lateral side of the groove as the bracket 4 and the hook's interior lateral surface 8A when the hook 8 has been snapped into the groove.
  • Each hook 8 can be snapped into the groove 9 only after the rib 6 of the hook's bracket 4 has been inserted laterally into its adjacent socket 7 (with the hook's laterally-extending bracket member 4A extending somewhat upwardly and with the rib's flat portion 6A at the rib's bottom) and the rib's bracket 4 and its laterally-extending bracket member 4A have then been rotated downwardly toward the support bar 3 to rotate the rib, so that the rib's flat portion 6A is no longer at or near the bottom of the rib or the socket.
  • each lower bracket member 4B of each bracket 4 are further secured to the bottom of the support bar 3. This is preferably accomplished, as shown in Figures 1 and 2 , by providing one or more screws 10 which extend upwardly through vertically-extending holes in the hooks and engage threaded holes (not shown) in the top of the groove 9.
  • the louver L and the panel 1, held by the top of the louver can be formed from sheet metal, such as aluminum, but can also be made of a rigid plastic.
  • the inturned lateral rims 5 and 11 of the louver L and panel 1 can be produced by roll forming metal strips.
