Definitions

  • louvers that are located inside an air chamber between the two panes of windows with double glazing, an intermediate solution that allows to install shutters of blades like those which are used for the interior because they are not not exposed, but whose protection is reduced compared to those which are completely external, because the air chamber of the double glazing heats up.
  • Blade shutters known as "Venetians” or “Mallorquins” carry the blades attached to a frame, like another window sill on the outside. We need another frame to fix the hinges and be able to take it on the facade to completely release the opening of the window, which sometimes is not possible. The maintenance of the outer part becomes complicated. Permanent exposure to the weather means that maintenance must be frequent. Some shutters fold upwards, like visors, without being able to remove them completely, limiting the view of the sky through the window.
  • the traditional shutters are gathered together, wrapping themselves on a drum located on the window in a box built in the facade.
  • the blades move by vertical guides next to the window.
  • the blades are taken to each other in all its length so that when the drum turns they train and go up, and as they go down they lean against each other. As they are united in all its length we can not orient them, nor clean them by the outside part.
  • the blades have a limited width to adapt to the surface of the drum, and the dimensions of the front opening are also limited by the bending of the blades, which are very inflexible. For some dimensions it is necessary to motorize them to overcome the weight of the blades.
  • a rollable blind model of steerable blades has been marketed which allows the blades to tilt when the blind is fully lowered, but not in another position, and with a limited inclination angle.
  • the winding determines the shape of the blade with the disadvantages mentioned for them.
  • the slat tilting mechanism uses these springs attached to the slats on one side and the other of its longitudinal axes to rotate them about its axis, so they must be located in the space of the slats in front of the opening of the slats. facade, ie to the weather in the case of an outside closure, which reduces its durability.
  • the document GB 2 396 657 A (WIIKINS) June 30, 2004 , describes a blade closure that includes screws to raise and lower the blades, activated simultaneously as in the document FR 2 1 73704 A1 (KUDELKA ), but with constant pitch, without variation.
  • One of the blades is attached to the screw by a bar that is taken to a piece (drive block 10) which is threaded to the screw like a nut, the other blades are driven by it by means of belts. This securing of the blade to the screw is firm, the other blades are not taken to the screws they do not make a safety closure, so we insert other blades taken to the screws at intervals.
  • the other blades taken to the screws can not be threaded like nuts, they also slip driven by the belts.
  • To avoid the movement of the blades that are not taken to the screws in the horizontal plane is placed at its ends pieces that are inserted into guides made in the lateral carcass, similar in shape to the cylindrical envelope with a vertical groove of document FR 2 1 73 704 A1 (KUDELKA ).
  • the inclination of the blades occurs with belts that are gripped at the ends of the blades, connecting one blade to the next. The triggering of the movement is not described.
  • the transmission of the vertical movement of the blades by means of the belts does not give them a position so precise that in the solution of the document FR 2 173 704 A1 (KULDELKA ) with the precise distance of the center distance.
  • the security of the closure is not the same all along the awning, only the blades that are taken to the screws are firmly ensured.
  • the use of belts on the outside decreases durability.
  • the blades go down heaped on the blade which is taken by the nut (drive block 10) to the screw, so when the blind is open half the pile of blades of the open part is in the middle of the opening of facade.
  • the invention solves these disadvantages by a mechanism according to claim 1 and a closure according to claim 15.
  • a first variant according to the present invention is a mechanism for the securing and actuation of shutters of blades to put in the openings of facade (windows, doors, showcases), able to place it outside by improving the protection against the weather, especially against solar radiation.
  • the attachment of the blades is safe enough to install on the outside, with a device that allows to use all kinds of blades, rotate them in all degrees of inclination until they touch, and remove them partially or completely from the facade opening, completely clearing the vision from the outside.
  • a second variant according to the present invention consists of an improvement of the first variant to obtain a better closure of orientable blades, stackable on one side or the other of the front opening, and security.
  • This increases the utility of the invention. It is not necessary to build a box in front as with traditional shutters. The fact that one can pick up the blades at the top or bottom of a window allows, in addition to graduating the entrance of the solar radiation, to protect from the external vision allowing light to pass through the upper part. It increases the security of the closure, so it is appropriate to install it on the ground floor.
  • the actuating and securing mechanism of the adjustable and removable leaf shutters consists of two lateral end screws, on each side of the front opening, where the ends of the blades.
  • the screws on both sides of the synchronously shaped window are rotated manually with a crank and a transmission mechanism, or motor-driven, so that the clashes of the blades on both sides slide simultaneously, so that the blades run parallel while closing. completely or partially, or by completely releasing the opening.
  • the attachment device of the blade so that it can reduce the pitch of the screws at the ends without interrupting the movement.
  • the pitch determines the distance between the blades. By decreasing it at the ends of the screws without end, the separation between the blades decreases, allowing its storage in very little space.
  • the central span which coincides with the space of the facade opening, has the thread of the measurement of the width of the blade minus the width of the part of contact between them.
  • the worm has a span with a screw pitch measuring the thickness of the blade plus an ease, which determines the minimum space of heaping.
  • the devices for attaching the blades are nuts that are threaded into the endless screws, ensuring the union with these and also the safety of the assembly.
  • the threading of the nuts to the screws is by means of bearings to allow the continuity of the translational movement despite the change of the thread.
  • the mechanism of inclination of the blades is interposed between the blades and the nuts for attachment to the screws. It is a piece that grasps the end of the blade and joins it to the nuts, and a rack parallel to the screws between the screws and the blades.
  • the end piece of the blade is made up of an elongate part or fits the blade, joined to a pin with a pinion, hooked to the nut, so that it can rotate and transmit this movement to the blade.
  • the rack is placed laterally, all along the side of the window, in contact with the gables of the parts of the end of the blades. It can turn freely unless it is immobilized. When we go up and down the blades they drag it if it is released.
  • the rack pressing is put on it by a control of the interior of the building, and by actuating the screws to move the blades, the pinions roll on the rack by tilting the blades.
  • the mechanism consists of two worm screws, one on each side of the opening of the facade, to which cling the ends of the blades.
  • the worms have a helical rail, and by rotating the screws and preventing rotation of the shackles of the blades is transmitted to them a translational movement parallel to the longitudinal axis.
  • the rotation of the screws is actuated simultaneously, manually with a crank or motorized, of synchronized shape so that the translation movement produced parallel to the direction of its axis is the same.
  • This is possible by rotating the screws on its axis by means of a horizontal bar with gears at the ends, which transmit rotation to the base of the worms. It can also be done with a belt or a transmission chain that turns the bases of the worm at the same time.
  • a locking device prevents the blades from falling by gravity.
  • the permanent contact between the blades and the worm also allows the installation of a conductive wire to transmit solar energy collected by cells in the blades to the electrical network inside the building.
  • Blades can be collected in any side of the facade opening, up or down. If the blades are vertical and the augers are horizontal the blades can be collected in the sides. With the worms in an inclined position can be covered inclined facade openings, and installed on structures, they can be used as blankets of weather, for example, porches or terraces.
  • the blade attachment device is a hollow cylindrical piece with a slot in its inner surface for screwing.
  • the cylindrical piece slides vertically without turning. It is joined to the blade by means of a bar which fits into the part which can rotate on its longitudinal axis.
  • the blades can also be attached to the nuts by means of a cable wound to the workpiece and connected to the blade, stretched.
  • the stacking of the blades can be done at the top or bottom of the opening of facade, or in the lateral ones. If the sliding by the worm is by means of a bearing, the Blade picking is done by reducing the pitch of the screw until it is equal to the thickness of the blade plus a margin. It is also possible by removing the propeller at the end of the course; leaving the hanging devices of the blades piled up. In the case of using the hollow cylindrical part with the helical slot inside, the packing of the blades is done with a smooth span at the upper end of the worm, where the shackles will remain packed. They are unscrewed by the movement of the screw, and insert again into the screw by gravity or assisted by a spring, when the screw and the slot coincide.
  • the blades are gripped to the attachment device by a bar or by means of cables, as already described.
  • the bar can take the blade by means of a rectangular piece by introducing into its interior the end of the blade. It can be fixed by pressure, adhere, or nail it. If the hooking is by cables, they are sheathed all along the blade, from one worm to the other. Hearing the cables avoids bending of the blade.
  • the blades can be made of different materials, wood, metal, plastic, in all cases prepared for the outdoors.
  • the blades can be trac- tioned since they are grasped by the ends to the side screws, which allows longer blades to be used for larger facade openings.
  • the mechanism consists of the following elements: two worm screws 1 ', one on each side of the facade opening, with one or more spirals, which have at one or both ends, a span with the screw pitch decreased by relative to the thread of the central span; fastening devices 3 'of the blades which are threaded to the worm by means of bearings 4'; a support part of the blade 5 'which unites it to the attachment device 3', provided with a pinion 6 'to actuate the inclination of the blade; a rack 7 'which travels the distance from the side of the front opening and contacts with the pinions 6' of the blade support parts 5 'which are in the span of the front opening; a device 8 'brake the rack 7' to actuate the inclination of the blades by preventing its translation, rolling the pinions 6 'when the worm is rotated 1' with the rack 7 'braked; a carcass 9 'surrounding the assembly to protect it, with fasteners to the facade,
  • the blades are gripped by two worm 1 'located alongside the front opening to cover. They are taken by means of the attachment devices 3 'which are nuts which are supported in the spirals of the worm by means of bearings 4'. By rotating the worm 1 'while preventing rotation of the attachment devices 3' they move along the worm 1 'pushed by the bearings 4'.
  • the latching devices 3 ' are prevented from rotating by means of a guide 10'.
  • the rotation of the worm 1 ' is acted simultaneously, manually with a crank or motorized, synchronized so that the vertical translation movement is the same.
  • the worm is inserted by preventing the blades from falling by gravity.
  • the blades are gripped to the attachment devices 3 'via a part 5' which supports them.
  • the blades move while maintaining the same distance between them. This distance is a multiple of the pitch of the worm 1 '. It must measure the width of the blade minus the width of the contact surface between them when they are closed, so that the front opening is completely covered when the blades touch each other.
  • the endless screws 1 'at their ends have bays with a smaller screw pitch 2' than that of the central span corresponding to the front opening.
  • the attachment devices 3 ' are threaded into the worm by means of bearings 4', to allow the continuity of the translational movement in the variation of the thread.
  • the shackles 3 'arrive in the spans 2' of the ends the distance between them decreases, piling the blades in little space outside the opening of the facade. The distance between them is equal to the thickness of the blade plus an ease.
  • the pinion 6 'of the blade support part 5' is in contact with the rack 7 'and drives it in its translation movement.
  • a brake 8 ' By immobilizing the rack with a brake 8 ', the pinion 6' rolls on the rack when the translational movement is actuated, rotating the blade.
  • the worm 3, and the blade storage device out of the front opening 6 are as in the model C. What changes is the way to actuate the rotation of the blades.
  • the nuts 10 for fixing the blades are similar to the part 9 of the model C. They are differentiated by a horizontal striated surface 12 or support the securing bearings 13 of the blades. They roll on this surface 12, transmitting the rotation by means of the rod 7.
  • the device which prevents the displacement of the securing bearings 13 of the blades from the line of the translation movement parallel to the axis of the spiral 3 is a longitudinal plate 16 which is inserted into the notches 18 made in the outer surface of the nuts 10.
  • Mechanism for securing and actuating adjustable and removable blade closures which is characterized by having a blade translation operator formed by two parallel worms 1, 2, 3, to which the ends of the blades are attached and which rotate of synchronized shape around their respective axes.
  • the shapes of the screws may be: either a U-shaped helical rail attached to a central shaft 1, or a helical slot groove in a cylinder 2, or a helical thread fixed to a central shaft 3.
  • Mechanism for securing and actuating pivotable and removable blade closures such as the previous mechanism, which is characterized by the fact of packing 4, 5, 6, blades out of the front opening by decreasing the distance between them to occupy as little space as possible when collecting them.
  • Mechanism for securing and actuating pivotable and removable blade closures such as the previous mechanism, which is characterized by having devices attaching blades 7, 8, 9, 10 to the worm. These devices do not prevent the blade from rotating on its longitudinal axis, and they allow the translational movement of the blades along the screws.
  • These mechanisms can be formed by bars 7 fixed to the blades in extension of them, with a bearing 8 at its end which is seized to the spiral of the screw; or nuts 9 to which the screws 3 are wound and which take the bars 7 fixed to the blades; or nuts with a horizontal striated surface where the bearings 13 attached to the bars 7 which support the blades bear.
  • Mechanism for securing and actuating pivotable and removable blade closures characterized by producing movement along the screws by means of the devices 14, 15, 16, preventing rotation of the devices securing the blades 7, 8, 9 around the axes of the screws.
  • These devices can be formed by a cylindrical tube 14 with a longitudinal groove 17 which forces the bars 7 to. to move there; a fixed vertical plate 15 which prevents the bars from descending by turning by the helix of the screw 3; a vertical plate 16 which fits into the notches 18 made in the outer surface of the nuts 10 by fixing its position.
  • the rotation is triggered by a mechanism comprising a rocker rack 20, which is taken by two parallel axes 21 to a fixed plate 22 to actuate in vertical movement by a lever 23, by pressing or releasing the pinions 19.
  • a mechanism comprising a rocker rack 20, which is taken by two parallel axes 21 to a fixed plate 22 to actuate in vertical movement by a lever 23, by pressing or releasing the pinions 19.
  • the shape of the pinion 19 may be a span of the same bar 7 with the striated surface.
  • the rack 20 can also be actuated by a mechanism comprising a pinion 24 with two positions, moved from the rack or facing it, the displacement from one position to the other is done by means of a central axis 25 which in turn push rods 26 that have been fixed at the ends of the pinions 24.
  • the inclination mechanism will be a frustoconical bearing 13 fixed to the end of the bar 7 which is placed on a horizontal striated surface 12 located in the nut 10.
  • a vertical plate 16 which fixes the position of the securing pieces 10 they are rotated so that the striated surface moves horizontally as the frustoconical bearing 13 rotates.
