Definitions

  • the present invention relates generally to a door or window, and more particularly to a covering of a building's opening.
  • a covering for an opening of a building has various types. Take a window for example, the common type of the window has two sliding or hinged sashes. In this type of window, the sashes take some space of the window opening. It is bad for ventilation.
  • Another window is similar to a casement window, having two hinged sashes, one of which is pivoted on the frame, and the other one of which is slidably engaged with a rail. Slide the sash will fold the sashes. In this window covering, the rail is straight, and the sash can't be moved when the folded sashes fold up. Therefore, people may hit the sashes when he/she walks by.
  • the rail 1 includes a straight section 1a and a curved section 1b.
  • a first sash 2 is pivoted on a wall W, and a second sash 3 is hinged with the first sash 2.
  • the second sash 3 is provided with a pulley assembly 4 to engage the rail 1.
  • the second sash 3 is moved toward the first sash 2 to open the door.
  • the sashes 2, 3 are folded, and moved off the opening because of the curved section 1b.
  • the warp rail makes the sashes move in a strange way. It is not good looking.
  • the sashes 2, 3 are opened, although they still are attached to the wall W (shown as the dot lines in the drawing), but they are not tightly folded together.
  • the primary objective of the present invention is to provide a covering of a building's opening, which provides the sashes to be folded and attached to the wall with a straight rail when one opens the covering.
  • a covering of a building opening includes a rail, a first sash, and a second sash.
  • the rail has a first end and a second end at opposite ends, wherein the rail is straight from the first end to the second end.
  • the first sash is connected to a first axle, wherein the first axle is adjacent to the first end of the rail.
  • the second sash is hinged with the first sash, and connected to a second axle, wherein the second axle is engaged with the rail to reciprocate along the rail.
  • the first axle is not on a moving path of the second axle, nor an extending line of the moving path of the second axle.
  • the rail has a front side at a front, a rear side at a rear, and a rail opening at a bottom;
  • the first axle is by the rear side of the rail and near the first end;

  • the covering further includes a rail base and a pivoting base, wherein the rail is fixed to a bottom of the rail base, and the pivoting base is fixed to the rear of the first sash; the first axle is vertical which has an end connected to the rail base and an opposite end pivoted on the pivoting base.
  • the rail base comprises a case, and the case has a front side and a rear side; the rail is received in the rail base between the front side and the rear side; a (first?) distance between the front side and the rear side of the rail base is greater than a (second?) distance between the front side and the rear side of the rail.
  • the covering further includes a pulley assembly engaged with the rail to reciprocate along the rail, wherein the opposite ends of the second axle are connected to the pulley assembly and a top of the second sash respectively.
  • the rail has a top side at a top, a bottom side at a bottom, and a rail opening at a front; the first axle is under the bottom side of the rail and near the first end; the second axle has opposite ends engaged with the rail via the rail opening and connected to the second sash respectively.
  • the covering further includes a pulley base and a pulley connected to the pulley base for rotation, wherein the pulley is engaged with the rail, and the pulley base is left out of the rail; the opposite ends of the second axle are connected to the pulley base and the second sash respectively.
  • the second axle is a U-shaped (hook-shaped?) bar having the opposite ends connected to a top of the pulley base and a top the second sash respectively.
  • the covering further includes an adjustable assembly under the first sash for change a vertical position of the first sash.
  • the adjustable assembly includes a lateral member, a base member, and a thread rod; the lateral member is fixed to the first sash and has a threaded axial bore; the thread rod has an end screwed into the axial bore of the lateral member and an opposite end connected to the base member, whereby the vertical position of the first sash is changed by turning the thread rod.
