• the reference numeral 1 generally designates a movement assembly particularly for windows, door leaves, skylights, orientable slats and the like.
• the movement assembly 1 comprises a piston 2 that acts on a movable frame 3 of a window 4, with the interposition of at least one bar 5 that can perform a translational motion.
• the piston 2 is actuated exclusively under emergency conditions, detected by a respective sensor which is functionally associated with the piston 2.
• the bar 5 can be integral with the movable frame 3 and associable with at least one component chosen from between second means for actuation 6 and elements 7 for locking the movable frame 3 to a corresponding fixed frame 8.
• the movable frame 3 is provided with a central upright member 9, on which are arranged the bar 5 and the piston 2 and the second means for actuation 6, if present.
• the second means for actuation 6 can be constituted by a linear actuator 10 coupled to the bar 5 by way of locking means 1 1.
• the actuator 10 adopted is an assembly which is constituted by a gear motor which acts on a toothed band for the translational motion thereof.
• a pusher 12 of the actuator 10 forces the movable frame 3 into abutment on the corresponding fixed frame 8.
• the pusher 12 of the actuator 10 determines the lifting of the movable frame 3 from the fixed frame 8.
• the bar 5 can have a contoured recess 13 which is provided with a port 14 which is open outward for the slideable accommodation of a protrusion 15 which is integral with the pusher 12 of the linear actuator 10.
• the movable frame 3 can be provided with a receptacle 16 for accommodating the protrusion 15.
• the bar 5 can have at least one hole 17 which is aligned with and proximate to a corresponding slot-like opening 18 of the movable frame 3.
• the piston 2 can be provided at an end tip 19 thereof with a pin 20 which is accommodated in the hole 17 and in the slot-like opening 18.
• the actuation of the piston 2 determines the forcing and the consequent translational motion of the pin 20 within the slot-like opening 18 with the entrainment of the bar 5 until the alignment of the protrusion 15 with the respective recess 13 and the corresponding egress thereof, through the corresponding port 14, thus allowing the opening of the window 4.
• the fixed frame 8 can be provided with a supporting structure 21 on which the piston 2 and the actuator 10 can be hinged, so that they are free to rotate and incline in conformance with the different configuration assumed by the movable frame 3.
• the supporting structure 21 is arranged below and at the central upright member 9.
• the locking elements 7 can be constituted by a crank 22 which is provided with a projection 23 which can move between a first configuration of interference with a seat 24 of the movable frame 3 to a second, free configuration.
• Such embodiment is commonly employed in conventional windows, door leaves, skylights and the like, in combination with a handle, which is adapted to actuate the crank and consequently open/close the window.
• the locking elements 7 can be constituted by a crank 22 and by at least one transverse arm 25.
• the end 26 of the arm 25 is pivoted to the crank 22, and the opposite end 27 is slideable along the movable frame 3 between a first configuration of interference with a seat 28 of the fixed frame 8, and a second, free configuration.
• the locking elements 7 can be constituted by a crank 22 and by a pair of arms 25.
• the crank 22 is provided with a projection 23 which can move between a first configuration of at least partial accommodation in a seat 24 of the movable frame 3, to a second, free configuration.
• the pair of arms 25 has the end 26 of the arms 25 pivoted to the crank 22, and the opposite end 27 slideable along the movable frame 3 between a first configuration of interference with a seat 28 of the fixed frame 8, and a second, free configuration.
• the closing that can be obtained thanks to such embodiment is particularly efficient in that it ensures that the movable frame 3 is locked to the fixed frame 8 at multiple points thus ensuring optimal mutual alignment even if heavy atmospheric conditions will occur (wind, snow drifts, mechanical tensions induced by thermal deformations).
• the bar 5 will have, in a portion thereof, at least one hole 17 which is aligned with and proximate to a corresponding slot-like opening 18 of the movable frame 3.
• the piston 2 will be provided at an end tip 19 thereof with a pin 20 which is accommodated in the hole 17 and in the slot-like opening 18.
• Actuation of the piston 2 will determine the forcing and the consequent translational motion of the pin 20 within the slot-like opening 18 with consequent entrainment of the bar 5, directly or indirectly, against the crank 22 for the movement thereof, and the passage of the projection 23 and of the arms 25, from the first configuration of interference to the second, free configuration.
• movement assemblies 1 which are provided with a plurality of protrusions 23 and/or a plurality of arms 25 with suitable linkages.
• the bar 5 is associated with the second means for actuation 6 and with the elements 7 for locking the movable frame 3 to the corresponding fixed frame 8.
• the second means for actuation 6 can be constituted by a linear actuator 10 provided with a pusher 12 which can move.
• At least one box-like body 29 can be interposed, which is open in a downward region, for the free translational motion of the pusher 12 within it.
• actuation of the piston 2 will determine the entrainment of the bar 5 against the body 29 and as a consequence against the crank 22 for the movement thereof and the passage of at least one component chosen from between the projection 23 and the at least one arm 25, from the first configuration of interference to the second, free configuration.
• the body 29 thus enables the transmission of the thrust of the bar 5 to the crank 22 without the pusher 12 of the actuator 10 creating an obstacle to the translational motion of the bar 5 itself, and, as a consequence, preventing the passage from the first configuration of interference to the second, free configuration of the arms 25 and of the projection 23.
• the piston 2 is constituted by a linear actuation unit (i.e. a device capable of converting the rotary driven motion of a motor to a linear movement of translational motion) with controlled actuation.
• the motor preferably of the electrical type (although the possibility is not ruled out of adopting fluid motors), will in this case be governed by adapted user-accessible commands in order to enable the opening and closing of the installation leaf to be commanded.
• the translational motion of the bar 5, which is imposed by the action of the linear actuation unit, will determine the movement of the crank 22 which will ensure the locking/release of the movable frame 3 with respect to the fixed frame 8, by way of mating/separation of the end 27 of the at least one arm 25 with the seat 28 and/or mating/separation of the movable projection 23 with the seat 24.
• sealing gaskets 30 for ensuring the substantially watertight closure of the window 4.
• the gasket 30, at the corner edges 31 of the fixed frame 8 and of the movable frame 3, has portions which are joined with predefined radii in order to increase the seal.
• the gasket 30 completely adheres to the edge of the window without undergoing excessive flexion (for example through 90°, as happens at the corner edges 31) which could, over time, determine the early wear thereof, thus making the window 4 lose its seal.
• the gasket 30 preferably has a transverse cross-section that delimits an inner cavity. In the closed configuration of the window 4, the squeezing of the gasket 30, owing to the reduction of the width of the inner cavity, will increase the seal thereof.
• the assembly 1 can comprise sensors which are functionally associated with the piston 2, for the emergency opening of the window 4 under emergency conditions.
• Such sensors can be of the type preferably chosen from among smoke detectors, detectors of variations in heat, fire detectors, detectors of volatile substances of various types and the like.
• Such sensors can be functionally associated with a corresponding canister 32 of compressed gas which is connected by way of a duct to the piston 2.
• Activation of the sensor will determine, in this case, the opening of the canister 32 and the consequent release of the gas into a cylinder 34 of the piston 2 in order to open the window 4.
• the piston 2 can be of a type preferably chosen from among a hydraulic piston, a pneumatic piston, gas springs, actuators in general and the like.
• the movement assembly 1 particularly for windows, door leaves, skylights, orientable slats and the like ensures a high thermal insulation of windows in conformance with the specifications of regulations for energy certification.
• the simultaneous presence of the gasket 30, the second means for actuation 6 and the locking elements 7 makes it possible to obtain thermal and acoustic insulation levels that are suitable for obtaining a specific energy certification.
• the movement assembly 1 particularly for windows, door leaves, skylights, orientable slats and the like, according to the invention, ensures an exceptional ease of use.
• a user interface for example a keypad or a switch (not shown in the accompanying figures) the user can actuate the movement assembly 1, and in particular the actuator 10, and command the consequent opening or closing of the window 4.
• Actuation of the actuator 10 determines the egress of the pusher 12 which, acting on the movable frame 3, lifts it, entraining therewith the piston 2 which, being discharged, does not constitute a hindrance to the action of the actuator 10.
• the movement assembly particularly for windows, door leaves, skylights, orientable slats and the like enables opening both under conditions of normal use and under emergency conditions.
• the movement assembly 1 can also be installed on zenithal, vertical, or inclined frames with different inclinations.
• the materials employed, as well as the dimensions, may be any according to requirements and to the state of the art.
