Abstract
Description
- The present invention relates to a horizontal withdrawable packet curtain construction.
- As is known in the prior art, "packet" curtain constructions are conventionally so made as to provide a satisfactory covering against rain, by using a single large size cloth covering element or, alternately, a plurality of joining cloth elements which are coupled to one another by several coupling methods, to provide a continuous flat surface, devoid of valleys, and usually inclined at an angle less than 15%, to allow water to easily flow away.
- However, the above mentioned prior use of a single cloth element, providing, by definition, a water tight continuous surface, has the drawback of having difficult to be managed volume and weight, in making, shipment and assembling operations.
- Moreover, if the single cloth covering element is damaged, it must either be fully replaced or repaired by very complex repairing methods.
- The above mentioned approach of using a plurality of adjoining cloth elements is advantageous from the volume managing, making handling, shipment and assembling standpoint.
- However, such an approach has great drawbacks due to the latching systems required for latching or coupling the individual cloth or covering elements to the cloth element bearing profiled section members.
- Rainwater, in actual practice, may access the single cloth element couplings and the channel assembly bearing them in the covering element bearing section members.
- Even if a specific design of the profiled supporting element would allow to overcome the above drawback, the size of the profiled of contoured coupling and supporting elements necessarily requires, for achieving a sufficient water flow away characteristic, an inclination of substantially 20%, which, in several cases, would be very disadvantageous from an aesthetic standpoint.
- In all the above mentioned cases, for providing a continuous covering surface, it is not possible to use intermediate supporting pillar elements within the covered area, as required, since the covering element supporting beams-rails, being overlapped on said covering elements, cannot be accessed without hindering the carriage covering sliding movements and, accordingly, a proper use of the apparatus.
- Furthermore, if a "fractioned" covering element is designed, in a case of heavy thunderstorms with gusts of wind seepage can result and consequently rain dripping in at the coupling sides, no specific systems being provided for the control and holding of water laterally.
- Accordingly, the aim of the present invention is to provide such a horizontal withdrawable packet curtain construction, adapted to overcome the above prior art drawbacks.
- Within the scope of the above mentioned aim, a main object of the invention is to provide such a horizontal withdrawable packet curtain construction, adapted to optimize a use of the covering cloth or fabric material, to prevent cutting waste from being generated in making the curtain while facilitating in managing and controlling the making, seaming, transporting and assembling operations.
- Another object of the present invention is to provide such a curtain construction allowing to quickly and fully removing water through the side channels, with a comparatively small inclination of the curtain construction.
- Yet another object of the present invention is to provide such a curtain construction allowing to achieve enhanced widths of the curtain construction hays.
- Another object of the present invention is to provide such a curtain construction allowing to arrange in an adjoining relationship a plurality of independent curtain modules while using all the pillar or upright elements required for making a withdrawing curtain construction with any desired cantilever extension.
- Yet another object of the present invention is to provide such a curtain construction allowing to properly use all the intermediate pillar or upright elements associated therewith, thereby in turn allowing lighter, less expensive, easy to be cut, transported and assembled section members to be used.
- Yet another object of the present invention is to provide such a curtain construction which, owing to its specifically designed structural features, is very reliable and safe in operation.
- According to one aspect of the present invention, the above mentioned aim and objects, as well as yet other objects, which will become more apparent hereinafter, are achieved by a horizontal withdrawable packet curtain structure, characterized in that said curtain construction comprises a plurality of upwardly curved covering cloth or fabric bearing section members.
- Said upwardly curved section members also operate as cross channels for discharging rainwater through specifically designed draining end portions including, at a bottom thereof, funnel like holes leading to side channels and, at a top thereof, raising elements adapted to raise side holding sidewalls.
- According to one aspect of the present invention, the inventive curtain construction module may be arranged in an adjoining relationship with like curtain construction modules to achieve unlimited width continuous curtain surfaces.
- Said curtain construction is preferably suspended, through sliding carriage assemblies, under strut beams including respective guiding rails.
- Further characteristics and advantages of the present invention will become more apparent hereinafter from the following detailed disclosure of a preferred, though not exclusive, embodiment of the invention which is illustrated, by way of an indicative, but not limitative, example, in the accompanying drawings, where:
-
Figure 1 is a perspective view of the horizontal withdrawable packet curtain construction according to the present invention; -
Figure 2 is a further perspective view, on a scale larger than that ofFigure 1 , of the curtain construction according to the invention; -
Figure 3 is yet another perspective view showing a detail of a cross covering cloth element bearing section member; -
Figure 4 shows a detail of a dripping funnel assembly; -
Figure 5 is an enlarged perspective view showing a detail of a side water draining channel or gutter; -
Figure 6 shows a detail of two supporting end portions for supporting the covering cloth bearing section members; -
Figure 7 is yet another perspective view of a supporting end portion and a covering cloth bearing section member; -
Figure 8 is a partial view showing the inventive curtain construction in a use condition thereof; -
Figure 9 is a front elevation partially cross-sectioned view showing a supporting carriage for supporting an end portion of a covering cloth bearing section member; -
Figure 10 is yet another view of the supporting carriage for supporting the covering cloth bearing section member end portions; and -
Figure 11 is yet another perspective view of an exemplary embodiment of a covering curtain construction made of a plurality of constructional curtain modules according to the present invention. - With reference to the number references of the above mentioned figures, the horizontal withdrawable packet curtain construction according to the present invention, which has been generally indicated by the
reference number 1, comprises twostructural beams 2, including respective slidingrails 3. - The curtain construction comprises moreover a plurality of
parallel bands 4, made of a fabric or the like material, which are firmly coupled to one another by a plurality of specifically designed covering cloth bearingsection member 5, extruded from a metal material with any desired extruding sizes and arrangements. - Thus, as the covering surface is extended and subjected to a tension, said cross covering cloth bearing
section members 5 will operate to collect rainwater before the latter slides on an adjoining coveringcloth element 4, owing to the provision of thegutter channels 6 extending for the construction overall length, as it is clearly shown inFigures 2 and3 . - More specifically, the cross covering cloth bearing
section members 5 comprise corresponding covering clothdetent channels 7, arranged with theaccess portions 8 thereof so oriented as to allow collected rainwater to be drained only into thegutters 6, while preventing said rainwater from exiting the top rim of the respective section member. - For allowing collected rainwater to be drained in a more quick manner, thereby greatly increasing the bending flexural strength of the construction, said covering cloth bearing
section member 5 is suitably curved by a curving calendaring process and, in such a curved condition being mounted in the system with its bulged or ridged portion upward directed. - Thus, the enhanced flexural strength, due to the donkey back bulging of the covering cloth bearing
section member 5 allows the subject curtain construction to achieve a curtain width up to 5 meters, with a single curtain hay. - Rainwater, flowing in said
gutter channels 6, is then caused to pass through suitably designedend portions 8 supporting respective ends of the covering cloth bearingsection members 5. - Said
end portions 8, as is shown, comprise correspondingdripping funnel elements 9, for directly conveying rainwater toside gutter elements 10 which are longitudinally assembled through the overall rainwater path from upstream to downstream of the subject construction. - As is further shown, the
end portions 8 further comprise a latching and clampingelement 11 for latching and clamping the coveringcloth 4 flap, having a length larger than that of the corresponding covering cloth bearingsection member 5. - Said latching and
clamping element 11 is so designed as to transversely tension the coveringcloth 4, by tension screws engaged incorresponding channels 12 which are upward inclined from a horizontal line thereby allowing said coveringcloth 4 to be properly tensioned while raising in its rim portion theedge portion 14 of said covering cloth through the overall width thereof. - Thus, owing to the provision of the latching and clamping
element 11 at the end portions of each covering cloth bearingsection member 5, as the curtain construction is tensioned, two restraining sidewalls are formed along theedge portions 14 of the coveringcloth elements 4, thereby preventing water from overflowing. - On the other hand, as from the curtain construction tension is released, then its sidewall will be brought to a non tensioned condition, thereby allowing the curtain to be properly arranged with a packet arrangement.
- In other words, the inventive curtain construction, comprising a plurality of covering
cloth elements 4 and covering cloth element bearingsection members 5, in an extended condition thereof, under the applied tension, will assume the same "bulged" geometry as the covering cloth element bearing section members. - Thus, water flowing on the individual covering cloth element, and not collected in the gutter channels, will be caused to laterally flow away from the related surface and being held by said projecting sidewalls to be returned to the
gutter channels 6. - The above disclosed curtain construction allows water to flow away even with an extended curtain construction inclination of only 8%, which small inclination cannot be achieved in prior art covering curtain systems.
- In other words, said advantageous small inclination is achieved in the inventive curtain construction since water pockets are prevented for forming therethrough.
- As shown, the
end portions 8 are suspended oncarriages 15 by two suspending cylinders 16 which, owing to a properly designed cross clearance, allow thesection members 6 and related coveringcloth elements 4 to be always arranged in an optimum arrangement position, even if thestrut beams 2 are not perfectly mutually parallel. - Said
carriages 15 comprise moreover a double pair ofwheel elements 17 for preventing them from being subjected to a possible pitching movement due to a torque applied by the tensioned calenderedsection members 6 preventing the overall system from assuming a desired arrangement configuration. - In particular, said
sidewalls 13 allow to arrange adjoining with one another a plurality of curtain construction modules, to provide a continuous covering surface with a practically unlimited width, which constructional modules may be easily controlled, both in opening and closing the covering construction, in an independent manner. - More specifically, the system withdrawing and extending features are achieved by a toothed belt assembly sliding in the strut beams and being mounted with a loop mounting arrangement between a belt tension pulley and a gear wheel.
- Said toothed belt operatively drives a first carriage, to which said belt is firmly anchored, said first carriage, in turn, owing to the covering cloth element tension, downward driving, or upward displacing, all the other carriages, one after the other.
- It has been practically found that the invention fully achieves the intended aim and objects.
- In fact, the invention has provided a horizontal withdrawable packet curtain construction comprising a plurality of cross covering cloth elements, for protecting from rain and sun, which may be easily arranged in an adjoining relationship with like curtain construction modules to provide continuous covering surfaces of practically unlimited width extensions.
- Moreover, the inventive curtain construction module allows to optimize the use of its fabric material, which has conventionally a size not larger than 80 x 500 cm, thereby preventing waste materials from being generated in the fabric cutting operation, while facilitating fabric seaming or stitching, transporting and assembling operations.
- Furthermore, the provision of cross covering cloth bearing section members, as properly curved and provided with respective gutters, allows to achieve a slightly bulged surface thereby water is quickly and fully drained into the side gutter channels, even with a curtain construction inclination of only 8%.
- Thus, the cross curved covering cloth element section members allow to achieve larger hay width extensions.
- Moreover, the water draining system, including gutter channels along the sides of each covering module, from upstream to downstream, is so designed as to split into fractions as desired the overall curtain surface, as well as the section member and guiding arrangement length extensions.
- In particular, in the inventive curtain construction module curtain components are used having a length not larger than 600 cm, to provide withdrawing covering surfaces with, for example, a size of 2,000 x 2,000 cm, corresponding to 400 m2.
- Moreover, the inventive water draining system, including gutter channels along the sides of each covering modules, from upstream to downstream, permits a plurality of independent covering modules to be arranged adjoining one another while properly supporting, by suitably designed supporting brackets, the required beam-rail arrangements.
- This constructional feature in turn allows to use, for supporting the beam-rail structure, all the uprights necessary for making withdrawing covering cloth assemblies of any desired cantilever extension.
- Finally, the provision of supporting, by intermediate supporting pillar or uprights, inside the covered area, allows to use lighter and less expensive section members, more easy to be cut, transported and assembled, the results being the same.
- In practicing the invention, the used materials, as well as the contingent size and shapes, can be any, depending on requirements.
