Definitions

  • the present invention relates to the fastening and furniture field and refers to a folding closure device, particularly suitable to carry out shutters for doors, windows or similar and to carry to panels, rolling shutters and similar for constructions and furniture or pieces of furniture.
  • Document US 2 937 398 A shows a folding closure device according to the preamble of claim 1 with elongated elements connected by hinge means.
  • An object of the present invention is to propose a folding closure which can be opened in an easy manner without excessive efforts and that it is simple and reliable.
  • Other object is to propose a device that, in the closing condition, it blocks light and dust.
  • numeral 1 indicates the folding closure device, object of the present invention.
  • the folding closure device can be carried out as a rolling shutter for doors or windows, in a closing element for furnishings and furniture or it can be used anywhere as long as it is necessary to close an opening or passage.
  • Mentioned folding closure 1 is provided with an upper guiding means 6, a lower rail means 17 and two side uprights 20, whose ends are connected to form a square or a rectangular frame fit to be fixed to the edges of an opening or passage, for example to an opening of a furniture to a window and in general wherever it is necessary to open and to close a space or a room.
  • the device 1 comprises of a plurality of elongated elements 2, of slab shape with rectangular plant, carried out by section bars made of metallic, wooden or synthetic material, preferably made of aluminium.
  • Each elongated element 2 comprises at least a longitudinal side 5, 7 connected in rotating manner by means of hinge means 3, 4, to a longitudinal side 5, 7 of an adjacent elongated element 2 forming an articulated folding wall.
  • Mentioned elongated elements are movable between an extreme opening condition of the passage, in which said elements 2 are, or are almost, mutually faced and an extreme closing condition of said passage in which the elements 2 are coplanar or almost coplanar.
  • a sliding longitudinal side 5 of each elongated element 2 is associated in sliding manner with at least a guiding means 6 and it is therefore bound to translate perpendicularly to itself on a fixed sliding plane.
  • first hinge means 3 of the sliding longitudinal sides 5 are staggered in respect with the second hinge means 4 of the opposite longitudinal sides 7 of said elements 2.
  • the rotation axis of the first hinge means 3 of the sliding longitudinal sides 5 of the elongated elements 2 define a respective fixed geometric plane one and the rotation axis of the second hinge means 4 of the opposite longitudinal sides 7 of said elements 2 define a movable geometric plane more far away from the guiding means 6, in other words, from the plane defined by the frame, in respect to the fixed geometric plane.
  • the movable plane in the closing condition is about 3 mm more distant from the plane of the frame than the distance between the fixed plane and the plane of the frame.
  • the invention provides that the distance D between the fixed plane defined by the rotation axis of the first hinge means 3 of the sliding longitudinal sides 5 of the elongated elements 2 and the movable plane defined by the rotation axes of the second hinge means 4 of the opposite longitudinal sides 7 of said elements 2 is ranging between the double and one sixth of the thickness of the elongated elements 2.
  • Each first hinge means 3 for connecting the sliding longitudinal sides 5 of two adjacent elongated elements 2 has at least one respective connecting body 8, such as an aluminium section bar, connected to said sliding longitudinal sides 5 by means of respective rotation pivots 9 defining the corresponding rotation axes.
  • each second hinge means 4 for connecting the longitudinal sides 7 of two elongated elements 2 which are adjacent and opposite sliding longitudinal sides 5, has at least one respective connecting body 10 connected to said opposite longitudinal sides 7 by means of respective rotation pivots 11 defining the corresponding rotation axes.
  • the rotation pivots 9, 11 are fixed to the longitudinal sides 5, 7 of the elongated elements 2 or, preferably they are carried out in integral aluminium with said elements 2, and they are housed in rotating manner in rotation seats 12, 13 preferably obtained in the connecting bodies 8, 10 or vice versa.
  • each first hinge means 3 of the sliding longitudinal sides 5 of the elongated elements 2 has a sliding means 14 along the guiding means 6.
  • Each sliding means 14 comprises a set of small wheels or bushings 15 rotating freely around a horizontal and perpendicular axis to the guiding means 6, engaged in rolling manner the longitudinal seats 16 of the same guiding means 6.
  • the rail means 17, which is parallel in respect to the guiding means 6, is equipped with a channel 18 slidingly engaged by skid means 19 fixed to the lower ends, namely the ends opposite to the guiding means 6, of the first hinge means 3 of the longitudinal sliding sides 5 of the elongated elements 2.
  • the upright 20 having the function of door leaf for the elongated element 2 extreme movable, has a respective compensation profile 21.
  • An end elongated element 2 is fixed by means of a fixed hinge means in respect the upright 20 and another end movable elongated element 2 matches, in the closing condition, with the another upright 20 or with the compensation profile 21 of this latter.
  • the end movable elongated element 2 has a respective compensation profile 23.
  • the guiding means 6 and track means 17 have respective matching brush means 22 of the elongated elements 2.
  • the operation of the device provides an opening force placed on the plane defined by the elongated elements in the closing condition, by virtue of the stagger corresponding to the distance D of the rotation axes generate torques for mutually inclining the elongated elements so facilitating the movement and the opening.
  • An advantage of the present invention is to provide a folding closure which can be opened in easy manner without excessive efforts and that it is simple and reliable.
