Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a protection device of an opening, in particular an opening corresponding to an elevator shaft, or to the location of a door or bay window during work.
  • a device for protecting an opening is described in DE 4445271 C1 .
  • Such protective devices are for example used in the field of building, on construction sites. They are placed in the openings so as to close them and block the passage to prevent a person from accidentally crossing said opening and fall into the void.
  • the protection devices must be adjustable in height to adapt to the different heights of opening that can be found on a building site.
  • the height adjustment means are generally arranged at the upper ends of the device, and require the use of a ladder or stepladder to be able to reach and manipulate them.
  • the present invention aims to overcome the disadvantages of the prior art.
  • one of the essential objectives of the present invention is to provide a lightweight protection device and easy to handle while providing maximum protection.
  • Another essential objective of the present invention is to provide a protection device whose height adjustment means can be easily maneuvers.
  • Said adjustment means are chosen and arranged so that they can be easily operated by an operator using the device according to the invention.
  • the adjustment means may be provided at a height of between 1.20 m and 1.90 m from the ground, so as to be easily accessible to an operator to facilitate their actuation. Even more preferably, the adjustment means may be provided at a height between 1.20 m and 1.50 m from the ground, so as to be at the height of the operator.
  • the protection means may consist of a grid, in order to close or partially close the frame and the movable member. It is obvious that any other means of protection can be used, such as fully closed plates, metal, wood or other.
  • the frame may comprise a lower crossbar connecting the two uprights and provided with a plinth.
  • This plinth can be removable to release the working surface on the ground without removing the protective device of the opening to protect.
  • the frame can be equipped with handles facilitating its handling.
  • the movable element comprises an upper cross member connecting the two uprights and arranged to leave a space between said upper crossbar and said uprights, said space being sufficient to clear the upper zone of the opening, so as to easily perform the finishing work without removing the protective device from the opening to be protected.
  • the movable element may comprise, at the free ends of its uprights, plates forming stops.
  • the frame may be rectangular in shape, the frame uprights being hollow, and the movable element may have the H-shaped, the amounts of the movable element being arranged to slide in the hollow uprights of the frame.
  • the protection device of an opening according to the invention can be easily transported and maneuvered in order to perfectly adapt to the dimensions of the opening to be protected to close it while guaranteeing the greatest safety.
  • a protective device 1 of an opening according to the invention.
  • the opening may be for example the cage of an elevator or the location of a door or a bay window.
  • the device 1 comprises a chassis 2 and a movable element 3 slidably mounted above said chassis 2.
  • the frame 2 is of rectangular shape and consists of two uprights 4a, 4b hollow, an upper cross member 5 connecting the upper end of the uprights 4a, 4b, and a lower cross member 6 connecting the lower end of the uprights 4a , 4b.
  • the frame 2 is partially closed by a mesh 7 disposed between the uprights 4a, and 4b and the upper cross member 5. This grill 7 is a means of protection to prevent anyone from crossing the frame.
  • Cutouts 8 are provided in the mesh 7 to allow the attachment of handling handles 9 facilitating the handling of the device 1.
  • the handles 9 are disposed substantially at the height of the hands of the operator and the equilibrium position of the device 1.
  • the lower ends of the uprights 4a and 4b comprise an angled portion 10 so that the bottom rail 6 is disposed protrudingly relative to the mesh 7, as shown in FIG. figure 2 .
  • the bottom rail 6 is provided with a plinth 11 that can be removable and metal studs 12 facilitating the grounding of the device 1.
  • the movable element 3 has the general shape of an H, and consists of two uprights 15a and 15b, a lower cross member 16 connecting the uprights 15a and 15b, and an upper cross member 17 connecting the uprights 15a and 15b .
  • the shape and dimensions of the uprights 15a and 15b are adapted so that said uprights 15a and 15b slide respectively in the hollow uprights 4a and 4b of the frame 2.
  • the lower crosspiece 16 is arranged so that, when the movable element 3 is retracted as far as possible into the chassis 2, said lower crossmember 16 is as close as possible to the upper crossmember 5 of the chassis 2.
  • the upper cross member 17 of the movable member 3 is arranged to leave a space between said upper cross member 17 and the uprights 15a and 15b, sufficient to clear the upper area of the opening so as to easily perform the finishing work without having to remove the protective device of the opening to be protected.
  • the movable member 3 is partially closed by a mesh 18 disposed between the uprights 15a, 15b, the lower cross member 16 and the upper cross member 17.
  • This mesh 18 is a means of protection to prevent anyone from crossing the movable member 3 .
  • the movable element 3 comprises rectangular plates 19, assembled perpendicularly to the free ends 20a and 20b of the uprights 15a and 15b, and projecting towards the rear of the protective device 1. Such plates 19 form stops against the upper frame opening to protect and stop the stroke of the movable member 3.
  • the means for adjusting the positioning of the movable member 3 above the frame 2 consist of a threaded rod 25 fixedly mounted on the lower cross member 16 of the movable member 3 and a nut. 26.
  • the upper cross member 5 of the frame 2 comprises a through hole opposite the threaded rod 25 so that the latter traverses and slides in said through hole.
  • the nut 26 is a butterfly nut, particularly easy to maneuver to adjust the length of the threaded rod 25 between the two crosspieces 5 and 16.
  • the free end of the threaded rod 25 comprises a welded nut 27 or other welded stop device, serving as a stop against the upper cross member 5 of the frame 2 so that the threaded rod 25 is not completely removed.
  • the device 1 according to the invention can be made of galvanized steel.
  • the dimensions of the different parts constituting the device according to the invention are such that the width of the device and the height, once the device is unfolded, are adapted to the different widths and heights of possible openings.
  • the dimensions of the frame and the movable element are chosen so that the adjustment means are provided at a height between 1.20 m and 1.50 m from the ground, so as to facilitate their access.
  • the dimensions will be chosen so that the wing nut 26 is at a height of 1.30 m from the ground, at height of the operator.
  • the device 1 according to the invention is particularly manageable and convenient to use, without the need to use a stepladder or ladder to install the protective device.
  • the protective device 1 is disposed in front of the opening so that the frame 2 rests on the ground. Then the operator easily maneuver the wing nut 26 disposed at its height, to slide the movable member 3 above the frame 2 until the plates 19 abut against the upper frame of the opening. In this unfolded position represented on the figure 2 , the protection device 1 closes the opening to be protected.
