Definitions

  • the present invention concerns a mobile covering element for a covering apparatus, which can be preferably, but not limited to, an adjustable sunshade, even of a large size, in the range of several meters on each side.
  • the covering element has an oblong shape and is mobile between an operative, or covering, position, in which it is parallel to a covering plane, and an inactive, or open, position, in which it is inclined with respect to the covering plane, and vice versa.
  • the covering element together with other covering elements identical to and coplanar with it, produces an impermeable cover of a zone below, so that the latter is protected both from atmospheric agents, such as rain, snow, or hail, and also from other objects, such as branches, leaves, debris, or other, which might possibly fall from above.
  • the inactive position all the covering elements are reciprocally inclined and allow accessibility from above to the zone below, by any element or object whatsoever, including the sun's rays.
  • adjustable sunshades which use oblong covering elements and have the function of protecting, selectively and even only temporarily, a zone below, both from the sun's rays and also from atmospheric agents, such as rain, snow, or hail, and also from other objects that can fall from above.
  • covering elements for covering apparatuses which, although all are oblong, that is, with a length much larger than its width and height, or thickness, have the most diverse shapes, and are aesthetically similar to a blade, a fin, or a slat, therefore they are usually equally indicated with one or more of these terms.
  • One of the disadvantages of the known covering elements is that they are subject to a relative longitudinal flexion due to their own weight.
  • the amplitude of this flexion is directly proportional to the length of the covering element.
  • this flexion increases in the presence of atmospheric precipitations such as rain, snow, or hail, particularly when these are of considerable intensity, compromising the structural resistance of the covering elements or, at least, causing undesired stagnation of water, in the form of puddles, more or less large, which are not managed optimally by the normal water discharge systems.
  • This disadvantage entails both an increase in the power required of the movement members of the covering elements, and also the undesired discharge of water into the zone below.
  • Covering elements with a curved conformation are also known, which guarantee a greater resistance to flexion.
  • This latter type of covering elements have the disadvantage of having high production costs, since the elements themselves have to be subjected to calendering, or to other complex and expensive workings, in order to obtain the desired arched shape and, moreover, their final conformation is often unaesthetic and not appreciated by customers and end users, particularly when the covering elements are in their covering position, or in the intermediate positions between the open and covering positions. Furthermore, these do not guarantee an optimal passage of light and air through the covering apparatus, when this is desired.
  • a first known type of covering apparatus comprises a plurality of oblong covering elements, parallel to each other and pivoted at their ends on two support elements of a support structure, opposite and perpendicular to the covering elements.
  • the covering elements can rotate on their longitudinal axes of rotation in order to assume both a covering position, in which they are coplanar with a covering plane and protect the zone below, and also an inclined, or open, position, in which the covering elements are inclined by many degrees, for example up to 140° and more, with respect to the covering plane, thus allowing the sun's rays and atmospheric agents to pass between the covering elements and reach the zone below.
  • An example of the first type of covering apparatus as above is described in the Italian patent IT-B-1.415.149 , issued to the Applicant on 09.04.2015.
  • a second known type of covering apparatus comprises a plurality of oblong covering elements, parallel to each other and connected with their ends to an actuation mechanism, for example of the pantograph type, in turn slidably supported on two support elements of a support structure, opposite and perpendicular to the covering elements.
  • the covering elements commanded by the actuation mechanism, can assume both a covering position, in which they are coplanar with a covering plane and protect the zone below, and also an inactive position, in which they are inclined by many degrees, for example up to 90°, with respect to the covering plane and packed toward a transverse element of the support structure, so as to allow the sun's rays and atmospheric agents to reach the part of the zone below left uncovered.
  • the upper support structure has the shape of a rectangular frame, and is configured to be positioned at a determinate height, for example a few meters, from the floor, or from the ground. In some cases, the frame can be missing one side, so that the upper support structure substantially has the shape of a U.
  • the upper support structure comprises at least three components, two of which are parallel to each other and perpendicular to the covering elements, and act as a support for the latter, while a third component, perpendicular to the first two, acts as a connection element between the first two, and is usually also used to house the motor members for moving the covering elements.
  • the upper support structure can be supported by supporting vertical uprights, so that the corresponding covering apparatus is aesthetically similar to a pergola, or it can be attached in any suitable way whatsoever to fixed support elements, for example to one or more lateral walls.
  • each individual oblong covering element usually comprises a central body, having a length in the range of a few meters, for example from 2 m to 6 m, a width in the range of a few decimeters, for example from 0.1 m to 0.3 m, and a height in the range of a few centimeters, for example from 0.01 m to 0.04 m, and provided with sealing means positioned along one or both of its longitudinal edges, in order to guarantee impermeability when the same covering elements are in their covering position.
  • Each covering element with the large sizes as above has to meet the following requirements: have a determinate and sufficient mechanical strength; support a determinate surface load, maintaining its flatness as much as possible, without excessive flexions in the center, particularly when it is in the closed condition; not be excessively heavy; and have low production costs. It is usually made using metal section bars, for example made of steel, aluminum, or metal alloys.
  • One purpose of the present invention is to provide a mobile covering element for a covering apparatus, preferably an adjustable sunshade, which can easily be moved between a covering position, in which it is coplanar with a determinate covering plane, and an open condition, in which it is inclined by several degrees with respect to the covering plane as above and packed toward a lateral edge of the covering apparatus, and vice versa, and wherein, in the covering position as above, it guarantees, in association with other identical covering elements coupled with it, both a perfect impermeability and also an adequate flatness, even when it is subject to high loads located on top of it.
  • Another purpose of the present invention is to provide a mobile covering element for a covering apparatus, preferably an adjustable sunshade, which in the covering position as above only has one flat surface, so that, in association with other identical covering elements coupled with it, it defines a single flat surface without irregularities of the entire covering apparatus, as if it were the flat ceiling of a room.
  • Another purpose of the present invention is to provide a mobile covering element for a covering apparatus, preferably an adjustable sunshade, which is relatively light in relation to its length, simple to produce and install, and has low production costs.
  • the Applicant has devised, tested and embodied the present invention to overcome the shortcomings of the state of the art and to obtain these and other purposes and advantages.
  • a mobile covering element for a covering apparatus preferably an adjustable sunshade, comprising a main body with an oblong development, having a longitudinal axis, a first longitudinal lateral flank. a second longitudinal lateral flank, disposed on the opposite side with respect to the first longitudinal flank, and at least a lower surface, configured to be disposed, in a covering position, on a covering plane, parallel to or passing through the longitudinal axis as above.
  • the mobile covering element is configured to be inclined with respect to the covering plane in an inactive or open position.
  • the mobile covering element also comprises a longitudinal lateral appendix having a substantially box-like structure, parallel to the longitudinal axis and disposed in correspondence with the second longitudinal lateral flank as above of the main body, wherein the longitudinal lateral appendix as above is integral with the main body, is positioned at least for a part and preferably wholly, above the bulk of the main body, and is configured to cooperate with the first longitudinal lateral flank as above of another identical adjacent mobile covering element of the covering apparatus as above, when the mobile covering elements are in the covering position, with the respective lower surfaces coplanar with the covering plane.
  • the longitudinal lateral appendix acts as a longitudinal rib and reduces the flexion of the mobile covering element to a minimum, even if the latter has a length of various meters, for example up to over 6 m.
  • the main body as above is made with a section bar having a substantially box-like structure and has a substantially constant height, preferably between about 10 mm and 40 mm.

  • the first longitudinal lateral flank and the second longitudinal lateral flank of the main body are parallel to the longitudinal axis.
  • the lower surface of the main body is substantially flat, so that in the covering position as above it is substantially coplanar with the covering plane. Therefore, advantageously, in the covering position as above all the mobile covering elements of the covering apparatus define a single flat surface, visible from below, interrupted solely by the thin longitudinal grooves between one mobile covering element and the adjacent ones, as if it were a completely flat ceiling.
  • the mobile covering element has a determinate length in the range of a few meters, preferably from about 1 m to about 6 m, even more preferably from 3 m to 5 m, and a first width preferably comprised between about 100 mm and about 350 mm, while the lower surface as above has the same determinate length, but a second width, which is less than the first width and is preferably comprised between about 70 mm and about 300 mm.

  • the longitudinal lateral appendix as above is configured to cooperate, as well as with the first longitudinal lateral flank, also with the upper longitudinal aperture as above of the longitudinal containing compartment of another mobile covering element identical and adjacent to it of the covering apparatus, when the mobile covering elements are in the covering position, with the respective lower surfaces lying on the covering plane.
  • the longitudinal appendices completely cover the corresponding upper longitudinal apertures of the longitudinal containing compartments of the adjacent mobile covering elements, thus producing a continuous and perfectly impermeable cover of the covering apparatus.
  • the longitudinal containing compartment is substantially defined by the first lateral flank as above, by a terminal part of the first lower wall that extends toward the outside beyond the first lateral flank, and by a lateral wall, which together with the latter defines the upper longitudinal aperture as above.

  • the width Z2 of the lower surface 17, which is substantially equal to a pitch PE ( fig. 6 ) between two identical and adjacent mobile covering elements 10, is comprised between about 70 mm and about 300 mm, and is for example 200 mm.
  • the longitudinal containing compartment 18 is configured to collect rainwater that can fall on the main body 12 itself, particularly on the upper wall 14.
  • the longitudinal containing compartment 18 is defined by the first longitudinal lateral flank 15, by the terminal part of the lower wall 13 which extends toward the outside beyond the latter (that is, toward the right in fig. 5 ), by a lateral wall 19, slightly inclined toward the upper wall 14 and having a first longitudinal protuberance 20, facing toward the upper wall 14 and provided, in its upper part, with a first longitudinal seating 21, in which a first packing 22 is disposed, which extends for the entire length L of the main body 12.

  • the longitudinal lateral appendix 34 also comprises a first lower protuberance 39 ( fig. 5 ), in continuation of the external lateral wall 37 starting from the first zone 36a (that is, downward in fig. 5 ), and a second lower protuberance 40 which extends toward the outside between the two zones 36a and 36b of the lower wall 36.
  • the two lower protuberances 39 and 40 define a longitudinal recess 41, parallel to the axis X, which develops for the entire length L of the mobile covering element 10 and is configured to act as a barrier against the passage of water or other, when the latter is in a covering position, with its lower surface 17 parallel to the covering plane PC, as will be described in detail below.

  • a mobile covering element 10 of the embodiment described heretofore with a length L of 4 m, a width Z1 of about 250 mm and a height S of 20 mm, has a weight of about 132 N and, with an average distributed load of about 700 N/m 2 only flexes in the center by less than 3 mm, that is, less than the height H of the second reinforcement rib 31.
  • the covering apparatus 11 ( figs. 1 to 4 and 7 to 15 ) comprises a support structure 45, which in the example provided here comprises an upper frame which defines the covering plane PC and is made up of, in the example provided here, two lateral crosspieces 46 and 47, parallel to each other and perpendicular to the longitudinal axis X, which are connected to each other by a front longitudinal beam 48 and by a rear longitudinal beam 49, parallel to the longitudinal axis X.
  • at least the rear longitudinal beam 49 is internally hollow.
  • Four vertical uprights 50 are configured to support the support structure 45 and the corresponding covering plane PC at a determinate height from the floor, or from the ground, for example about 3 m.
  • the support structure 45 supports a plurality of mobile covering elements 10, the number of which can vary up to more than twenty, although in the example provided here (figs. from 1 to 4 and from 7 to 15) only six are shown, as a function of the needs of the users of the covering apparatus 11 and the sizes of each mobile covering element 10.
  • all the mobile covering elements 10 are guided slidingly on the two lateral crosspieces 46 and 47 and can move together in a direction perpendicular to the longitudinal axis X, in both directions, between an inactive position ( figs. 1, 2 , 7, 8 and 9 ), in which the mobile covering elements 10 are packed toward the rear longitudinal beam 49 and occupy a minimum space, and a covering position ( figs. 3, 4 , 13, 14 and 15 ), in which the mobile covering elements 10 are parallel to the covering plane PC, with their lower surfaces 17 of the respective main bodies 12 which are coplanar with each other and with the covering plane PC itself, passing through a plurality of intermediate positions ( figs. 10, 11 and 12 ).
  • the mobile covering elements 10 are connected to each other by means of the actuation mechanism 29, in order to form a pantograph connection with the latter, known in the state of the art.
  • the actuation mechanism 29 can be of any known type whatsoever, or which will be developed in the future, and is not included in the present invention.
  • the actuation mechanism 29 comprises two groups of connection levers 51, of rectilinear shape, equal to each other and associated with each of the two lateral crosspieces 46 and 47, and a command device 52, which in turn comprises an electric motor 53, for example installed inside a service beam 54 associated with the rear longitudinal beam 49, which is connected to a pair of transmission belts 55, each disposed on a corresponding lateral crosspiece 46, 47 and parallel thereto.
  • the transmission belts 55 are connected to the mobile covering element 10 furthest away from the rear longitudinal beam 49 itself.
  • connection lever 51 apart from the end ones, which are reduced by half, is connected at the lower part to the first pin 28 of a mobile covering element 10, in an intermediate zone to the second pin 33 of a mobile covering element 10 adjacent to the first, and at the upper part to the third pin 44 of another mobile covering element 10 adjacent to the second.
  • Rotatable casters 56 slidable on guides of the lateral crosspieces 46 and 47, are associated on both sides with the first pins 28 of the mobile covering elements 10, in order to reduce to the minimum the friction during the movements of the latter between their inactive and covering positions.
  • the functioning of the covering apparatus 11 which uses the mobile covering elements 10 according to the present invention is very simple and substantially of the known type. In fact, by commanding the electric motor 53 all the mobile covering elements 10 are displaced between their inactive and covering positions.
  • each mobile covering element 10 in the inactive position the set of packed mobile covering elements 10 ( figs. 1, 2 , 7, 8 and 9 ), thanks also to the partial overlap of each longitudinal lateral appendix 34 with the main body 12 of an adjacent mobile covering element 10, occupies a very small space, in the range of about 20 mm for each element, that is, substantially half of the bulk with respect to the solutions of the state of the art, to the benefit of the extension of the area open to the sky in the inactive position, with the same covering surface.
  • another advantage of the present invention is that, in the covering position, the set of the mobile covering elements 10 coplanar with each other ( figs. 3, 4 , 13, 14 and 15 ) guarantee a perfect, or almost perfect, flatness and a lower surface that is flat and substantially without a break in continuity, apart from the thin grooves between one mobile covering element 10 and the adjacent ones.
  • the set of mobile covering elements 10 has a much lower weight than those of the state of the art, with the same flexural inertia and covering surface, so that there are reduced production costs and the possibility of using less powerful drive motors, with all the advantages that follow.
  • the longitudinal containing compartment 18 may not be present, or may have smaller transverse sizes, or may be made inside the first longitudinal lateral flank 15.
