Description

FIELD OF TECHNOLOGY TO WHICH THE INVENTION RELATES

The invention relates to the field of protection of elements of structures from external influences, in particular to a protective cover for a door and a method for its production.

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

A traditional problem in the repair of residential and non-residential premises is the need to install the front door before the completion of construction and finishing work inside the premises. Accordingly, the installed door can be exposed to external influences, for example, mechanical, due to careless handling of tools, or, for example, chemical, due to careless handling of various materials for treating surfaces of walls, ceilings, floors, such as paints, enamels, cement mortars, etc. . As a result of such an impact, the door may be damaged, which will not only violate its aesthetic appearance, but may also lead to the impossibility of operation (for example, when the keyhole is clogged or the door handle is jammed).

One of the possible solutions to the above problem is the use of a transport protective coating, in other words, after installing the door, leave it in the case (or film) in which it is transported. However, this may not be possible due to the fact that such a cover must be at least partially removed/damaged in order to correctly install and mount the door in the doorway. In addition, the use of a door with a shipping cover/protective film may be limited due to the fact that such a cover may restrict access to the lock and/or door handle.

Thus, it is relevant to develop an easy-to-use product for door protection, which can be installed after the door is installed in the doorway and which will reliably protect it from external influences.

DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS

The invention relates to the field of protection of elements of structures from external influences, in particular, to a protective cover for a door and a method for its production. A person skilled in the art will understand that a similar cover can be used to protect internal and external doors in rooms and structures, window frames and other elements of structures during repair work.

The present invention is illustrated in the figures of the drawings, in which FIG. 1 shows one side of the proposed protective boot (such a side may be referred to as the "inner" side of the boot, as it will face the door after the boot is installed); Fig. 2 shows the other side of the proposed protective cover, opposite the side of FIG. 1 (this side may be referred to as the "outside" side of the cover, as it will face away from the door after the cover is installed); Fig. 3 schematically shows the stages of installation of the protective cover, namely the sequence of bending the main and folded elements of the protective cover, as will be explained in more detail below; Fig. 4 schematically shows the cover after installation (the door is not shown for simplicity).

Continuing generally with FIG. 1-4, the present invention provides a protective cover for a door, comprising

the main element 1, made bendable along the fold line 2, and the bendable elements 3, 4, made in one piece with the main element 1 with the possibility of bending along the fold line 5,

connecting elements 61, 62, 63, 64, 65, 66 located along the edge of the main element 1 and foldable elements 3, 4,

while the main element 1 is made with two elongated openings 7, the edges of which are connected with the possibility of separation by a fastener.

In Figures 1-2, the fold line 2 and the fold line 5 are conventionally shown in dotted lines, it should be understood that they are not made on the cover by stamping or in any other suitable way, but only serve to facilitate understanding of the following description of the invention. The actual location of the fold line and kink lines is determined on site when the cover is installed on the protected door or other object. It should also be understood that in other embodiments, fold and fold lines may be displayed on the boot for quicker and more convenient positioning of the boot on the door. And they can, for example, be made in the amount of several pieces for various standard door sizes.

In one of the options, a protective cover is proposed, in which the main element 1 and the bent elements 3, 4 are made of PVC film. The use of such material reduces the technological costs of production, while providing the necessary protection of the door or other protected element from harmful external influences. It should be understood that other suitable materials may be used. For example, TPU (polyurethane) film, which is more durable than PVC film. Fabric or some other suitable material can also be used, for example, recycled plastic, paper, which can be additionally treated with a hydrophobic composition, etc., which have the necessary strength properties and provide reliable protection of the door from external influences.

In a preferred embodiment, all elements of the cover are made in one piece from a web of the same material, but other options can be provided, in which, for example, the main element is made of a single material that is stronger than the material from which the folded elements are made.

In one embodiment, a protective case is provided wherein the fastening means comprises one or more of a zip fastener, a zip fastener, a snap fastener, or a combination thereof. Preferably, a zipper is used that can be unfastened to access the lock or handle for unlocking/locking the door, and after the necessary manipulations, the zipper can be easily closed.

In one embodiment, a protective cover is proposed, in which the connecting elements 61, 62, 63, 64, 64, 65, 66 are connecting tapes with an adhesive layer, also referred to in the prior art as double-sided tape. Accordingly, during the manufacture of the protective cover, the connecting tape is attached to it, later, when installing the protective cover, the protective coating is removed from the connecting tape, and the connecting tape securely attaches the cover to the door or other protected object with its adhesive layer. After the completion of the repair work, the cover can be easily and quickly removed from the door without leaving any traces of the connecting elements.

It should be understood that a plurality of connecting elements may be provided, which will be located around the entire perimeter of the cover, or at least in sections of some of the elements. In a preferred embodiment, at least two connecting elements are provided, namely an element 61 located along the entire length of the outer edge of the bendable part of the main element 1, and an element 62 located along the entire length of the outer edge of the main element 1 and the bending elements 3, 4. Preferably element 62 is made in one piece and of such length as to be located along the entire length of the main element 1 made in one piece and the bending elements 3, 4.

In addition, it should be understood that at least one of the connecting elements 63, 64, located on the edge of the folded elements 3, 4, can be made wider relative to the connecting elements 61, 62 for more reliable attachment of the folded elements 3, 4 to the door. In FIG. 1, for example, the connecting element 64 is shown having a greater width than the connecting elements 61, 62, 63.

It should also be understood that the connectors may be of short length, such as the connectors 65 shown in FIG. 1. This reduces the consumption of the connecting tape required for the manufacture of connecting elements. At the same time, such connecting elements 65 can also be located along the edge of the main element 1 and the folding elements 3, 4 of the protective cover, which still ensures that the protective cover is securely fastened to the door or other object to be protected.

In addition, in additional embodiments, additional connecting elements 66 can be provided located near the fold line 5, which provides additional reliable fixation of the protective cover on the door, and, consequently, more reliable protection of the door itself or other protected object from external influences.

In one embodiment, a protective case is provided in which the connecting elements are located on one side of the protective case or on both sides of the protective case. In the illustrated in FIG. 1-2 of the embodiment of the invention, the connecting elements 61, 62, 63, 64, 65, 66 are located on one side of the proposed cover (Fig. 1 - the inside of the cover), which will face the door when the cover is fixed. In this embodiment of the invention, when installing the proposed cover, one should pay attention to whether the door is right or left (the location of the hinges, lock, handle), and accordingly install the cover, orienting the elongated openings 7 to the locations of the door handle and lock. In other words, it is necessary to determine from which side to install the cover: from inside the room or outside the room.

The steps for selecting a side for installing a protective cover described above can be difficult for an inexperienced user, therefore, in one of the additional embodiments, the connecting elements can be located on both sides of the protective cover, which greatly simplifies and speeds up the installation of a protective cover on a door or other protected object.

In one embodiment, a protective cover is proposed, in which the elongated openings 7 are arranged symmetrically with respect to the fold line 2. In this case, quick and convenient access to the door handle or lock is provided from both sides of the door. It should be understood that the protective cover may also comprise a pre-perforated area (not shown) located between the elongated openings 7 near the mid-height of the door. The presence of perforations facilitates the operation of the protective cover, into which the latch / tongue of the door handle or lock can pass. In the version without a perforation area, after installing the cover, a cut is made in it with a suitable tool directly at the location of the tongue of the door handle or lock.

In one of the options, a protective cover is proposed, in which the lower folded element 4 is made with a side cutout. The side cutout is clearly visible in Fig. 1-2 (not indicated), due to its presence, the material required for the manufacture of the protective cover is saved, as well as quick and convenient access to the door handle and / or lock after installing the cover. It should be understood that in the case of using connecting elements 65, made in the form of short connecting tapes, they should be located closer to the said cutout for reliable fastening of the folded element 4.

In one additional aspect, a method is provided for manufacturing a protective cover for a door according to the first aspect of the invention, comprising the steps of:

lay out a canvas of a given length and place a pattern on it;

at predetermined locations on the web, holes are made to secure the fastener and the web is cut to form elongated openings;

the main element and the bent elements are cut according to the pattern;

remove cuts;

at predetermined locations, fasteners and fasteners are attached to the web, which may be sewn, hot-melt bonded, or secured in another suitable manner. In the case of using double-sided adhesive tape as connecting elements, they are fixed by means of one of the adhesive sides to the canvas.

After the protective case has been produced, it is rolled up to a compact size and packaged in a case, for example having dimensions of 30×35 cm. It should be understood that when unfolded, the protective cover can be made in several standard sizes to be able to be installed on doors of standard width (for example, 80 or 90 cm), while the length of the bent elements allows the cover to be installed on doors of different heights.

With reference primarily to FIG. 3-4 below describes the process of installing a cover on a door or other object to be protected. On the corresponding side of the door, the main element 1 of the protective cover is placed and its edge is fixed on the door by means of a connecting element 62. The upper bent element 3 is bent along the bend line 5 to the opposite side of the door, as shown by arrow 101. By means of the connecting element 63, the bent element 3 is attached to the door . The lower folded element 4 is bent along the fold line 5 to the opposite side of the door, as shown by arrow 102. In the version of the protective cover with a cutout on the folded element 4, a door handle and a lock are placed in it, the folded element 4 is fixed by means of connecting elements 62, 64, 65. The bendable part of the main element 1 is folded along the fold line 2 to the opposite side of the door, as shown by arrow 103. Elongated openings 7 are placed over the door handle and lock. The bendable part of the main element 1 is fixed by means of the connecting element 61. Perforations or cuts are made in the cover (if they are not available) along the fold line near the middle of the door height to pass the latch/tab of the door handle or lock. The installation of the cover is completed (FIG. 4), by means of fasteners, for example, a zipper, it is possible to access the door handle and the lock through openings 7 for opening/closing the door.

In the implementation of the present invention, a technical result is provided, which consists in expanding the arsenal of technical means by creating a protective cover that can be easily and quickly installed on a door mounted in a doorway and provide its reliable protection from external influences.

One of ordinary skill in the art will appreciate that the embodiments covered by the present description are not limited to the specific illustrative embodiments described above.
