Definitions

  • This invention belongs to the technical field of glass pivoting panel enclosure systems.
  • the enclosure systems that use panels made of glass or materials with similar mechanical characteristics mainly tend to be formed by a set of panels that are supported and guided by upper and lower rails that are mounted on the ceiling and the floor of the space in which the enclosure is to be carried out.
  • the present invention eliminates the need for the closure device to incorporate this projecting arm. It also relieves the upper guide element of its function as a support element for the pivoting at the time the panels are folded at one of the ends.
  • Removing the projecting arms also entails a new closure/locking system of the system in the panel referred to as door. This new closure system is also described in the present invention.
  • the invention relates to a closure device for a pivoting door, the closure device being characterised in that it comprises:
  • This closure device enables the opening and closing of the mobile door by means of an innovative closure system that takes up less space and can be more simply and directly actuated.
  • the fact that the cover is fixed to the rail and that the closure element is fixed on the door constitutes a compact and reliable system.
  • the first mobile stop comprises an inclined surface, such that it can change from the locking position to the opening position by means of pressure carried out on said inclined surface, as a result, for example, of forcing the first mobile stop against a fixed surface that forms a certain angle with respect to said inclined surface.
  • the closure element comprises recovery means that enable the first mobile stop to change from the opening position to the locking position. These recovery means can be springs or similar, but can also be elements that are activated by remote control, locks, etc.
  • This closure device enables the door to be closed without the need to actuate the mobile stop from the outside, but rather by simply pushing the pivoting fixed door towards the closed position thereof.
  • the first mobile stop can be activated such that it changes from the locking position to the opening position by means of a handle, or by means of a cable or by means of a remote device or any other suitable device.
  • This closure device facilitates the opening of the door, acting externally on the mobile stop by means of elements that facilitate this action.
  • the closure element comprises a second mobile stop, which is integral to the first mobile stop, such that when the first mobile stop is in the opening position, the second mobile stop is also in the opening position, and when the first mobile stop is in the locking position, the second mobile stop is in the locking position; and that the cover comprises a housing suitable to receive and retain at least a portion of the second mobile stop.
  • This closure device enables the pivoting fixed door to be located in several positions with respect to the upper and lower rails, due to the fact that the second mobile stop can be inserted into the housing of the cover, the door thus being locked in a slightly open position, which is suitable for ventilation, but with the security that the door will not move until the second mobile stop inserted into the housing is released.
  • the closure element further comprises a handle adapted to change the position of the first mobile stop and/or the second mobile stop between the opening position and the locking position.
  • the handle enables easy actuation of the first and second mobile stops.
  • the closure device further comprises at least one sliding and pivoting panel, each one comprising an upper profile; a first support piece fixed to the upper rail; and a second support piece fixed to the upper profile of the at least one pivoting and sliding panel; wherein the first support piece comprises a first portion intended to project from the upper rail, this first portion of the first support piece comprising at least two converging edges and two stop edges, that form between 80° and 100° with respect to the converging edges; wherein the second support piece comprises a first portion intended to project from each one of the upper profiles of the at least one sliding and pivoting panel; this first portion of the second support piece comprising at least two converging edges, at least one of the converging edges of the first portion of the second support piece being intended to be supported on one of the converging edges of the first portion of the first support piece; the first portion of the second support piece further comprising two stop edges, which form between 80° and 100° with respect to the converging edges, these stop edges being parallel to the main direction of the upper profile
  • This closure device advantageously enables the opening and closing of the pivoting fixed door and of the sliding and pivoting panels without having to use an arm that perpendicularly projects from the upper rail.
  • the position of the first support piece, in collaboration with the second support piece placed on the pivoting fixed door, enables the door to be guided during the first pivoting phase, when the likelihood of unhooking is greater.
  • the absence of an arm that projects prevents the inconveniences that this entails when using sun control elements (such as blinds, curtains, etc.), since the arm prevented the normal operation of said sun control elements.
  • the first support piece comprises a second portion intended to be inserted into the upper rail, such that this second portion is isolated from any first portion of any other first support piece.
  • This second portion which is isolated, enables the first support piece to be an individual piece, not a rack, as described in other documents of the state of the art. Having an individual piece provides a number of advantages, since it takes up less space of the insulation mat that tends to be placed between the pivoting fixed door and the upper rail.
  • the second support piece comprises a second portion, joined to the first portion of the second support piece by means of a slot, this second portion of the second support piece being intended to be inserted inside the upper profile of the at least one sliding and pivoting panel, such that the plan cross section of the first portion of the second support piece is larger than the plan cross section of the second portion of the second support piece.
  • the cross section of the first portion is larger than the cross section of the second portion enables a better support of the second coupling piece on the first, ensuring to an even greater extent the opening and closing operation of the pivoting fixed door.
  • the pivoting fixed door and the at least one sliding and pivoting panel has a thickness
  • the closure device comprises a plurality of first support pieces such that the distance between the first portions of the two first adjacent support pieces is four times larger than the thickness of the pivoting fixed door and of the at least one sliding and pivoting panel.
  • the location of the first support pieces every four doors achieves a very clean installation, and enables great flexibility in the installation since the support pieces are distributed throughout the upper rail, thus enabling a greater compensation when the ground is uneven.
  • the closure device comprises a number of first support pieces that is the fourth part of the number of sliding and pivoting panels, rounding to the next natural number if the fourth part is not a natural number.
  • This closure device is compatible with the presence of several sliding panels, which complement the closure of a space.
  • each one of the upper profiles of the at least one sliding and pivoting panel comprises a first edge
  • the second support piece is at an increasingly small distance from the first edge of the upper profile of the corresponding panel, such that for each pair of consecutive panels, the difference between the distance of the second support piece to the first edge of the upper profile of a panel and the distance of the second support piece to the first edge of the upper profile of the other panel is constant.
  • this constant difference is equal to the value of the thickness of the pivoting fixed door and of the at least one sliding and pivoting panel.
  • the second support pieces have this arrangement enables the same first support piece to be used for four sliding and pivoting panels, such that the first support pieces take up even less space in the upper rail. This results in a simpler, inexpensive and insulated installation.
  • the first support piece further comprises height-adjustable stops intended to be supported on the upper rail, such that the distance between the converging edges and the upper rail can be adjusted by regulating said adjustable stops.
  • the height-adjustable stops comprise at least one screw adjustable by means of screwing, configured to project an adjustable distance with respect to the second portion.
  • the screw is accessible from the outside and enables the operator to adjust the height even though the support piece is already inside the upper rail.
  • first support piece and/or second support piece and/or the cover and/or the closure element comprise fixing means by screwing or by an alternative fixing means.
  • the fixing means are those suitable in order for the pieces to withstand the operation requirements to which they are subjected.
  • Figure 1A shows a first embodiment of a first support piece 1 that belongs to a closure device according to the invention.
  • This first support piece 1 comprises a first portion 101 intended to project from an upper rail, this first portion 101 of the first support piece 1 comprising at least two converging edges 102 and two stop edges 103, 103' that form between 80° and 100° with respect to the converging edges 102. Due to the fact that the converging edges 102 are not parallel, one of the stop edges 103' is larger than the other 103.
  • the first support piece 1 comprises a second portion 104 intended to be inserted into the upper rail from which the first portion 101 projects, such that this second portion 104 is isolated from any first portion of any other first support piece 1.
  • Figure 1B shows a second embodiment of a first support piece that belongs to a closure device according to the invention.
  • This second embodiment contains the elements of the first embodiment shown in figure 1A , but additionally contains height-adjustable stops 105, in the form of screws that are adjustable by means of screwing. These adjustable stops are intended to be supported on an upper rail, such that the distance between the first portion 101 and said upper rail on which the first support piece is installed can be adjusted by screwing and unscrewing said screws.
  • Figure 2 shows a second support piece 2 that belongs to a closure device according to the invention.
  • This second support piece 2 comprises a first portion 201 intended to project from an upper profile of a sliding and pivoting panel.
  • This first portion 201 of the second support piece 2 comprises at least two converging edges 202, at least one of the converging edges 202 of the first portion 201 of the second support piece 2 being intended to be supported on one of the converging edges 102 of the first portion 101 of a first support piece 1, as shown in figure 1 .
  • this first portion 201 of the second support piece 2 comprises two stop edges 203, 203' that form between 80° and 100° with respect to the converging edges 202. Due to the fact that the converging edges 202 are not parallel, one of the stop edges 203' is larger than the other 203.
  • the second support piece 2 comprises a second portion 204, joined to the first portion of the second support piece 2 by means of a slot 205, this second portion 204 of the second support piece 2 being intended to be inserted inside the upper profile of a sliding and pivoting panel, such that the plan cross section of the first portion 201 of the second support piece 2 is larger than the plan cross section of the second portion 204 of the second support piece 2.

  • the second support piece 2 is arranged in the upper profile 331, 341, 351 of each one of the sliding and pivoting panels 33, 34, 35, the stop edges 203, 203' of the first portion 201 of the second support piece 2 being parallel to the main direction of said upper profiles 331, 341, 351, the smaller stop edge 203 specifically being oriented towards the inside of the upper rail 11 and the larger stop edge 203' closest to the side towards which the sliding and pivoting panel 33, 34, 35 is adapted to pivot, therefore being oriented towards the outside of the upper rail 11.
  • the first support piece 1 is arranged in the upper rail 11, such that the first portion 101 projects from the upper rail 11, and is located to receive the support of the second support pieces 2 of the sliding and pivoting panels 33, 34, 35 when they pivot.
  • the second support piece 2 is arranged in the upper profile 331, 341, 351 of each sliding and pivoting panel 33, 34, 35 such that the first portion 201 of the second support piece 2 projects from said upper profile 331, 341, 351.
  • part of the upper rail 11 has been eliminated in order to make it clearer, which means that it seems as if the entire first support piece 1 is visible.
  • the first portion 101 projects from said upper rail 11, while the second portion 104 is inserted into said upper rail 11.
  • the first support piece 1 is fixed to the upper rail 11 by means of fixing means by screwing. In other embodiments, it alternatively comprises other suitable fixing means.
  • the second support piece 2 is fixed to the upper profile 331 of the sliding and pivoting panel 33 by means of fixing means by screwing. In other embodiments, it alternatively comprises other suitable fixing means.
  • the closure device 10 comprises a plurality of first support pieces 1 such that the distance between the first portions 101 of two first adjacent support pieces 1 is four times the thickness h of the pivoting fixed door 3 and the sliding and pivoting panels 33, 34, 35.
  • each one of the sliding doors comprises an upper profile with a first edge
  • each one of the sliding panels comprises a second support piece arranged in the upper profile.
  • the second support piece is at an increasingly smaller distance from the first edge of the upper profile of said sliding panel. Due to the way the panels fold, this distance decreases by a fixed amount equal to the thickness h of the pivoting fixed door and the sliding and pivoting panels, such that for each pair of consecutive panels, the difference between the distance of the second support piece to the first edge of the upper profile of a panel and the distance of the second support piece to the first edge of the upper profile of the other panel is constant and equal to this thickness h.
