Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a closure system for a window, hatch, door, sunroof or the like.
  • the systems contemplated are intended for use, although not exclusively, on a boat or ship, and also in respect of land vehicles and architectural constructs.
  • the operation to open and close the window should be easy to carry out and the mechanism forming and releasing the seal sufficiently robust to remain effective after repeated uses, and under marine conditions.
  • US2009/126279 discloses a door mounted to rollers on a track, the track having two blocks to divert the rollers and the door inwardly as the door closes.
  • US2006/225357 a two door assembly is disclosed, which doors are coplanar when closed and opened by one of the doors sliding over the other.
  • a complex arrangement of hinges and tracks provides the necessary movement of the doors away from each other.
  • a guide path for a door comprising elements which engage a dowel on the floor.
  • a rotatable cam is provided engaging a profiled end plate on the door.
  • a system to facilitate the opening and closure of an aperture such as a window, door, hatch, sunroof in, for example a boat or yacht, closure of the aperture producing a weathertight seal comprising:
  • the panel is a window.
  • the system thus provides a simple means of guiding the opening and closure of a window.
  • the guide element comprises a channel.
  • the guide means consists of a projection, extending from an edge of the panel.
  • the panel has a second projection extending from the opposing edge of the panel, which edges are yet further advantageously the upper and lower edges.
  • the number of projections extending from an edge is two to provide good stability for the panel.
  • the or each projection passes through the centre of a wheel, the wheel serving to guide the or each projection within the guide element.
  • Movement of the panel is preferably by means of a handle connected to a sliding block, movement of the sliding block urging the projection or projections in the desired direction.
  • the sliding block further preferably includes a guide slot in which the projection or projections are seated to urge the panel from a sealing to an open position and vice versa.
  • the slot yet further preferably includes stop means preventing unwanted movement out of the sealed position.
  • the stop means still yet further preferably comprises a circular recess in the guide slot, forming a retaining lip in the slot, the lip holding a projection in position.
  • movement of the panel is achieved through the use of an electric motor, mechanically, hydraulically or pneumatically engaged with the panel.
  • a system to facilitate the opening and closure of an aperture such as a window, door, hatch or sunroof in, for example a boat or yacht, closure of the aperture producing a weathertight seal comprising:
  • the panel is a window.
  • the guide element comprises a channel to guide the direction of movement of the panel.
  • a channel may be a slot passing through the entire thickness of a planar element, or alternatively may be a recess cut through part of a thickness of a solid element.
  • the sliding block is connected to a handle.
  • the handle facilitates the two ranges of movement of the sliding block along the guide element and hence the two directions of movement of the panel.
  • a motor is provided for movement of the panel in the two directions of movement.
  • the sliding block includes one or more guide slots orientated diagonally along the sliding block.
  • the sliding block includes two guide slots orientated diagonally along the sliding block.
  • one or more of the guide slots is equipped with a circular recess at its inner end. In a yet further aspect this circular recess is of slightly greater diameter than the width of the guide slot to afford a lip between the recess and the remainder of the guide slot.
  • the sliding block has two guide slots which are operably associated with two projections.
  • system comprises a pair of guide elements on opposite sides of the aperture, a pair of sliding blocks slidingly engaged with the guide elements and pairs of projections on opposing edges of the panel, slidingly engaging the guide elements and operably associated with the sliding blocks.
  • the guide means consists of a pin or a rolling bearing element.
  • a system to facilitate the opening and closure of an aperture such as a window, door, hatch, sunroof in, for example a boat or yacht, closure of the aperture producing a weathertight seal comprising:
  • the system provides a simple means of guiding the opening and closure of the window.
  • the guide means consists of a pin, extending from an edge of the window.
  • the window has a second pin extending from the opposing edge of the window, which edges are yet further advantageously the upper and lower edges.
  • the number of pins extending from an edge is two to provide good stability for the window.
  • the or each pin passes through the centre of a wheel, the wheel serving to guide the or each pin within the channel.
  • Movement of the window is preferably by means of a handle connected to a sliding block, movement of the sliding block urging the pin or pins in the desired direction.
  • the sliding block further preferably includes a guide slot in which the pin or pins are seated to urge the window from a sealing to an open position and vice versa.
  • the slot yet further preferably includes stop means preventing unwanted movement out of the sealed position.
  • the stop means still yet further preferably comprises a circular recess in the guide slot, forming a retaining lip in the slot, the lip holding a pin in position.
  • movement of the window is achieved through the use of an electric motor, hydraulically or pneumatically engaged with the window.
  • movement of the window is achieved through the use of an electric motor, mechanically engaged with the window.
  • the seal is formed of a resilient material to allow repeated formation and breaking of the sealing engagement.
  • closure system for a window should also be interpreted as pertaining to similar apertures such as a door, hatchway or sunroof.
  • Said closure systems will typically involve the window opening inwardly, but the system is also suitable for outward opening of the window.
  • Example 1 a window system is described which, on opening, initially moves the window inwardly from the surrounding surface and then parallel to said surface to open the aperture.
  • the window is constrained to move within channels cut into the framework, which channels guide the window between the closed and the open position.
  • the channels are so profiled that in the closed position the window is urged against the frame forming a weathertight seal.
  • the window 10 is of conventional construction and has an inner, internal frame 11, a transparent glass (or other polymeric material such as a Polymethylmethacrylate, commonly marketed under the trade name Perspex TM ) sheet and a sealing element around the inner periphery of the window 10 to seal against a further glass or Perspex TM sheet 12 or the side section of the boat.
  • Perspex TM Polymethylmethacrylate
  • pins 13a, b Extending from the lower and upper edges of the window 10 are, typically, pins 13a, b of which two are shown in Figure 1 , which extend from the lower edge.
  • the pins 13a, b allow the window 10 to be guided to the correct position when moving between the open and closed position.
  • the motion of the pins 13a, b, and hence the window 10 is guided by a channel 14 in a frame piece 15 located beneath the window 10.
  • a corresponding channel is included above the window 10.
  • the width of the channel 14 is sufficient to enable the base of the pins 13a, b to move along the channel 14, but without allowing too much lateral movement in a direction away from or towards the sheet 12. Such lateral movement would allow the window to rattle which is obviously undesirable.
  • a pin 13a, 13b is shown in more detail in Figures 2a, 2b .
  • the pin 13a can be formed of stainless steel or other suitable material.
  • the head 20 of the pin 13a has a profiled recess 21 to enable easy fitment into position.
  • the shank of the pin 13a is in three, integral, sections each section, moving away from the head 20, being thinner than the previous one.
  • the pin 13a in use is passed through the support block 30, shown in Figure 3 , which block 30 is secured to the window 10 or the frame surrounding the window 10. Furthermore, the pin 13a supports the weight of the window 10.
  • the pin 13a passes through a wheel 13c which guides the pin 13a as it moves within the channel 14. A small plastic washer beneath the wheel 13c allows the wheel 13c to slide over a sliding block 17.
  • the channel 14 opens inwardly towards the frame 12 at two locations 16a, b to enable the pins 13a, 13b and the window 10 to move towards a sealing engagement with the frame 12.
  • the profiles of the inwardly opening portions 40, 41 of the channel 14 are shown more clearly in Figures 4a, 4b .
  • the ends 42, 43 of the channel are closed.
  • a handle 25 is connected to a sliding block 17.
  • the sliding block 17 is housed within the support tube 18 and able to move lengthwise, under the control of the force on the handle 25, along the tube 18.
  • the tube 18 has a cut out in its upper surface corresponding to the shape and location of the channel 14.
  • the sliding block 17 itself has two slots 19a, 19b through which and in which the pins 13a, 13b are housed.
  • Each of the slots 19a, 19b is orientated diagonally along the sliding block 17 and, in the embodiment shown is, at the inner end of circular profile and slightly larger to accommodate and retain a pin 13a, 13b.
  • FIG. 5a-c The upper cover or surface of the block 17 is shown in Figures 5a-c .
  • Figure 5a shows the upper surface 51 of the slider block 17, and Figures 5b, c are enlarged views of the slots 19a, 19b.
  • Figures 5b, 5c the end lines across the width of the block 17 are artefacts of the drawings only and do not indicate a physical edge in that location.
  • the recess 50 at the end of one of the slots 19a is slightly larger in width than the rest of the slot.
  • the pin 13a When in the closed position the pin 13a fits into this larger recess 50 and the lip formed between the recess 50 and the rest of the slot 19a prevents the pin 13a (and hence the window 10) from sliding back along the slot 19a and opening or loosening the window when it is not desired to do so.
  • the other slot 19b can also be provided with a similar recess.
  • either the pin or the material around the edge of the slot be resilient, sufficient to allow movement between the slot and the recess, when required, but not when it is not required.
  • the movement of the pins along the channel ends causes the window 10 to move inwardly through a second direction of movement and to be urged into sealing engagement with the frame 12.
  • the integrity of the seal is aided by the window 10 being brought into the closed position along a straight line perpendicular to the frame 12, as the wear on the seal is thereby reduced.
  • Figure 6 shows two views of a window system with the window 10 in the open juxtaposed position.
  • the hollow guide element 56 contains two channels 57 and 58.
  • the sliding block 59 sits within the guide element 56.
  • the window 10 has a projection 54 extending from its lower edge. This projection 54 engages with the sliding block 59 via a link 55 which is attached to a pin 52. Pin 52 attaches both the fixed link 55 and the handle bracket 51 to the sliding block 59.
  • the handle bracket 51 connects the handle to the sliding block 59.
  • the handle bracket 51 is further connected to the sliding block 59 by a second pin 53.
  • Pins 52 and 53 engage with and move along channel 58, whilst projection 54 moves along channel 57.
  • Applying force on the handle 25 in the direction X moves the window in the first direction of movement from the open juxtaposed position to a superposed position with respect to the aperture.
  • Figure 7 shows a window system with the window in the superposed position. For clarity the aperture, window frame and seal are not illustrated.
  • projection 54 meets an inwardly opening portion of the channel 57. If further force is applied in the direction X to the handle 25 so that it moves through its second range of movement in the first direction, projection 54 advances up the inwardly opening portion of the channel 57, whilst pin 52 continues along channel 58 until it reaches the end of the channel as can be seen in Figure 8 .
  • window frame and seal are not illustrated in Figure 8 .
  • the rotation of the link 55 causes the window to be held firmly in place.
