Definitions

  • the present invention relates to an innovative mechanical safety closing and locking device, adapted to be universally applied to civil and industrial aperture closing systems operated by ropes.
  • An anti-fall device for locking vertically lifting doors, in particular vertically lifting doors with a single covering is known from WO 99/31342 A1 .
  • the main disadvantage of such a device is that it does not lock the covering of the closing system immediately because the locking device can only work discontinuously along the sliding guides of the covering, also requiring, for the operation thereof - in addition to a guide - cavities at predetermined distances in the guide itself; furthermore, the parachute brake is arranged below the covering, which consists of slats removably hinged to one another, therefore, said system cannot operate with coverings consisting of slats, which are removably hinged and free with respect to one another inside the rolling-shutter box where the locking system referred to in this document is housed, in order to also solve the problem of break-ins, remained totally unsolved by the international invention.
  • a rope safety device is also known from EP 0 393 489 A1 for controlling the traction load of a rope assembly for the controlled lifting, holding and lowering a guided closing system, such as an up-and- over door or a leaf door or a folding door or a hinged folding door.
  • a guided closing system such as an up-and- over door or a leaf door or a folding door or a hinged folding door.
  • German utility model patent DE 298 08 661 U1 relates to a safety device for lifting lift gates, sectional doors, roll-up grilles, venetian blinds or the like, by means of support cables.
  • the main disadvantage of said utility model is that, besides being structurally complex, since it is provided with leverages which operate under the action of the rope breaking, in the event of intervention it locks the entire sliding of the device itself, therefore it cannot work in the case of heavy coverings.
  • JP2008138356 relates a lock mechanism which enables a shutter curtain to be locked in an arbitrary position, and which prevents the fall of the shutter curtain even if an operating member for a manual operation is cut.
  • JP2008138356 discloses a mechanical safety closing and locking system for a shutter covering, which can be wound up in a rolling-shutter box operated by one pulling rope and with vertical guides, wherein the system comprises a mechanical safety closing and locking device configured to be installable within rolling-shutter boxes, wherein said mechanical device comprises: a rigid guide body, provided with at least one elastic means, configured to be kept under tension by means of the contrasting action of at least one pulling rope of the shutter covering, a locking element, rotating in said rigid body and hooked to said elastic means, where said locking element is functionally connectable to the pulling rope and is adapted to interfere mechanically with the winding shaft of the shutter to block the fall thereof in the event of an interruption in the pulling continuity of said rope;wherein a thrust is applicable by said rope to said locking element which is adapted
  • JP2002357062 is relating to an over-slide type shutter falling preventive device, in which additional members are reduced extremely without almost working a normal shutter structure and which surely prevents the falling of a shutter.
  • JP2002357062 discloses a locking, element acting directly on the covering but such system is not compatible to be inserted in a roller shutter box and no elastic means are disclosed, which means that the locking element only acts by gravity, which makes it very slow to activate.
  • the present mechanical safety closing and locking device 1 is easily and universally applicable to civil and industrial aperture closing systems operated by ropes, being characterized in that it can be inserted into the rolling-shutter box 11 of any vertically sliding shutter and can safely work in good time when the pulling ropes 15 of the shutter covering 3 become loose or suddenly break.
  • the mechanical safety closing and locking device 1 being easily installable inside the rolling-shutter box 11 of the shutter covering 3 as well as easily produced industrially, consisting of:
  • the device 1 can easily be installed inside rolling-shutter boxes 11 of closing systems with coverings 3 operated by ropes 15, without requiring undesired building work ( figures 6 , 7 , 8 and 9 ).
  • the device 1 consists of a rigid body 8, provided with a locking element 7 therein, sliding on at least one pair of bearings 12 ( figures 1-3 and 6-8 ) and it is contrasted, like a cross-bow, on one end or tang 4 thereof by the pulling of at least one rope 15 under tension, directly or indirectly supporting the shutter covering 3.
  • the balancing of said contrasting force is achieved in the opposite direction by the balanced pulling of the elastic means or spring 6 ( figure 6 ).
  • the device 1 can be completely housed inside the rolling-shutter box 11 and protected by the latter against break-ins, without requiring modifications to the rolling-shutter box 11 itself, as stated above.
  • the ropes 15 can be kept under tension with the aid of a plurality of return pulleys and at least one means for pulling or winding up the ropes 15 themselves, which are technically known.
  • the operation of the device 1, due to either expected or unexpected causes, can allow the interruption of the electric current supplied to the shutter by means of the action of said locking element 7 on an electric switch (not shown), thus also acting as an electric safety device.
  • the present invention can also serve as a valid anti-theft safety closing means for the shutter, being placeable inside the rolling-shutter box 11, thus, at the top of the shutter itself, with the option of closing the latter mechanically and automatically, said device 1 being able to act as a mechanical spring lock, both upon complete closure of the shutter covering 3 and, extremely safely, in any other position of the covering 3, especially when the operating ropes thereof accidentally break.
  • the presence of the spring 6 also serves to prevent the locking element 7 from being able to have an elastic-type rebound, thus ensuring the complete anti-fall safety of the covering 3.
  • the device also performs an anti-fall safety function of the covering 3, in that, if it is coupled to a pair of ropes 15 and not to a single pulling rope 15 (imagining that at least one of the pulling ropes 15 breaks or becomes loose as a result of wear or other accidental events), the elastic means 6, being kept under contrasted tension, would forcedly push the locking element 7 against the lateral sliding guides 13 of the shutter covering 3, thus preventing the shutter covering 3 from falling down.
  • the locking element 7 can also act as an anti-fall safety means, contrasting the sliding of the covering 3 along the shutter guides 13.
  • the locking element 7 can also serve as a valid anti-theft closing means for the shutter itself, since it can automatically work upon the complete closure of the covering 3 of the shutter, also preventing the opening thereof in the event of an attempted break-in because if the shutter is raised, pushing it from the bottom upwards, the pulling rope 15 would loosen, thus activating the operation of the locking element 7.
  • the reciprocal movement of the movable elements forming the device 1 has been studied to minimize friction and not represent, per se , a further cause of wear of the component parts and of those which are more susceptible to deterioration.
  • the ropes 15 can be kept under tension with the aid of a plurality of return pulleys and at least one means for pulling or winding up the ropes themselves.
  • the guide body 10 of the locking element 7, containing said pair of axial supports 5 and 8, has a free end thereof shaped so as to guide the direct contrasting anti-fall action of the shutter covering 3.
  • the invention can also be applied with coverings consisting of removably hinged slats 2, because they are free in the rolling-shutter box 11 where the locking device 1 itself is housed.
  • the mechanical device 1 here described consisting of few structural elements, is easy to be provided and for this reason offers the unquestionable advantage of being extremely easy to be manufactured and assembled, with reduced production costs.
  • the present invention is an innovative technical solution in the field of safety devices, acting completely automatically if the lifting ropes of the shutter covering break accidentally or in case of break-in, in the exemplary case discussed and more generally for all rope-operated systems.
  • a further advantage certainly no less important than the previous ons, derives from the fact that the invention also usefully acts as an anti-theft safety closing means for the shutter, being placeable inside the rolling-shutter box, thus at the top of the shutter itself.
  • the present device has very low manufacturing costs and is simple to be assembled with further advantages in terms of transport, handling and installation costs.
