Definitions

  • the invention relates to a vertically-sliding window to complete a cabin positioned along a façade of a ship, e.g. a cruise ship chosen here as an example.
  • the exit door traditionally has a hinged door or a horizontally-sliding door.
  • a window should be mounted on the outer edges of the terrace, building a sort of veranda extending the existing cabin.
  • the window must be capable of opening somehow, because it is necessary to ventilate the cabin, or simply because the passenger wants to breathe fresh air or look out to enjoy the view. Therefore there is absolute need for a window or an openable glass door which has good performance in terms of resistance to water seepage given the exceptional weather disturbances the ship can be subjected to when offshore.
  • the window must have outstanding qualities in eliminating drafts and protecting from external noise. That's the only way to ensure and maintain a high level of comfort which - however - the current windows for ship cabins, if set in this new application, are unsuitable to provide.
  • US 2007/277454 discloses a window system with a fixed panel and a panel movable relatively thereto.
  • US 1 750 695 A discloses a window sash for ships.
  • One particular object of the invention is producing a window of the above type with good watertightness, good sound insulation and free from drafts.
  • the present invention provides a ship according to claim 1 comprising a window or glass door and mounted inside a span of the hull to stop up an external wall of a cabin.
  • said means solve the problem of eliminating a perimetral air gap which inevitably form between the second panel and the frame as a result of the sliding of the first parallelly with respect to the second.
  • the result is a hermetic gasket that blocks the infiltration of water, drafts and provides good insulation from outside noise.
  • the perimetral frame facilitates the assembly on the opening of the structure or on the skeleton of the ship, while the first panel can serve as a balustrade when the second panel leaves said position and lowers, arranging itself parallel and laterally to the first panel (preferably on the side of the first panel which faces the outside of the ship).
  • said means comprise means for horizontally bringing (i.e. along a direction orthogonal to the previous one of relative sliding) the second panel closer towards the frame so as to make them adhere in a hermetically sealed manner on each other by inserting a flexible gasket.
  • This requires a sophisticated mechanism for moving the second panel along two perpendicular axes.
  • the first panel and the second panel have width substantially equal to each other and/or equal to the frame's width.
  • the width of the frame corresponds to the width of the span to be stopped up on the facade.
  • the frame and/or a or each panel has the form of a quadrilateral, e.g. a rectangle or a square.
  • each panel comprises a central glass plate.
  • the window preferably comprises presence or proximity sensors, e.g. photocells.
  • a sensor is arranged to detect the presence
  • the sensor may e.g. emit a sound alarm, or preferably is connected to an electronic control unit, remote or comprised in the window, which drives the motor.
  • the control unit preferably stops the motor and/or reverses the rotation direction thereof if it detects a foreign object via one of the sensors.
  • the window comprises a rain sensor connected to the control unit, so that the latter operates the motor and lift the second panel as soon as the first drops are detected.
  • the window preferably comprises two proximity sensors mounted to detect the arrival of the second panel to two different heights.
  • the proximity sensors may be mounted externally (e.g. micro switches), or integrated in the motor M.
  • the proximity sensors are connected to the control unit, so that the latter stops the motor when the second panel reaches an end-of-travel limit.
  • the window comprises an amperometric sensor, e.g. placed inside of an electronic control unit, able to detect a current increase in the motor in case the panel closes against an obstacle (for example the arm of the user U resting on the handrail 74, see below).
  • an amperometric sensor e.g. placed inside of an electronic control unit, able to detect a current increase in the motor in case the panel closes against an obstacle (for example the arm of the user U resting on the handrail 74, see below).
  • the control unit preferably comprises a programmable microprocessor, e.g. in order to program the behavior and/or the functions of the electrical components installed in the window and/or the brake.
  • a ship comprising a window or glass door as defined herein (in all its variants) and mounted inside a span of the hull to stop up an external wall of a cabin.
  • the window is to be mounted in the span L of a ship cabin (not shown) where a passenger U is hostable.
  • the window comprises a perimeter frame 30, a fixed bottom panel 20 integral with the frame 30 and a panel sliding vertically (vertical arrow Y).
  • the frame 30 is composed of two lateral uprights 32 and a horizontal crosspiece 34.
  • a central glass V is mounted in the top panels 10, 20 .
  • the panel 10 is movable along the Y direction relative to the frame 30 thanks to a motor M mounted above the crosspiece 34.
  • the motor M has an output pinion 90 connected via a chain to a toothed wheel 91 keyed on a horizontal shaft 52 which is equipped with two end pinions 54 and a central pinion 56, in turn connected via gear and chain to the shaft of a brake F external to the motor M.
  • the brake F represents a safety device to brake the panel 10 if the motor M is faulty.
  • the brake F e.g. hydraulic, is a fall protection device: it can take over in case of failure of the electro-brake normally aboard the motor M.
  • Figs. 2 and 3 show in detail for the panel 10 the motion mechanism, which has same and mirrored structure inside the two uprights 32.
  • the panel 10 in the closed position is located in front of an equal-sized, fixed frame 32, where the sealing gasket is.
  • the pulley 62 advantageously may be pre-stretched vertically by a spring to maintain the chain 60 always taut.
  • the chain 60 therefore has two free ends which are connected respectively at two different points P1, P2 of the panel 10: at the upper edge and at the lower edge.
  • the motor M rotates in opposite directions the shaft 52, to which there always corresponds a traction force on the chain 60 in one of the points P1 or P2; therefore, the panel 10 is tractioned whether it is raised or it is lowered.
  • Fig. 2 shows the panel 10 raised and in the closed position
  • Fig. 3 shows it in intermediate position, during a lowering or lifting phase.
  • the linear trajectory of the panel 10 with respect to the frame 30 is ensured by a guiding system, in particular by a skid 80, mounted on the panel 10, which engages a vertical linear guide 82 fixed inside the upright 32 ( Fig. 4 ). Therefore, between the facing surfaces of the raised panel 10 and the frame 30 there is formed by geometry a gap W, which would let drafts and outside noise pass. To avoid this, on said facing surface of the upright 32 there is provided an inflatable gasket 78 connected to the pneumatic system P. When the panel 10 is raised and has arrived at the upper end position ( Fig. 2 ), the pneumatic system P is activated and inflates the gasket 78 ( Fig. 4c ) so that by expanding it touches the opposite facing surface of the panel 10 and adheres tightly thereto.
  • the pneumatic system P When one wants the panel 10 to be lowered ( fig. 3 ), the pneumatic system P is activated and deflates the gasket 78 ( Fig. 4d ) so that the latter withdraws and moves away from the panel 10, which then is moved towards the lower end-of-travel limit by activating the motor M. Since the gasket 78 is not permitted to deflate naturally, one is sure that it does not rub against the panel 10.
  • FIG. 4 shows, in the lower left, magnifications ( Fig. 4c and Fig. 4d ) with the two configurations described for the gasket 78.
  • the upper edge of the panel 20 is a support for the user, then it is equipped with a support railing or handrail 74.
  • a support railing or handrail 74 On the inner sides of the uprights 32 there are mounted photocells 72, 76 to detect the presence of a hand, which might be injured if the panel 10 is moving nearby. Safety and security is ensured by stopping the motor M when the photocells 72, 76 detect an obstacle.
  • an electronic control unit (not shown) capable of
  • the described window has the advantage of constructive simplicity, has good sealing performance to water and air; ensures good security for the user (e.g. through the adoption of a low voltage motor M, e.g. 24V instead of 230V).
