Description

The field of technology

The presented technical solution concerns the improved inspection door. As is well known, inspection doors are usually installed with openings made in the walls in such a way as to allow inspection of the compartment located behind the wall.

It should be noted that in this specification the term "wall" refers arbitrarily to vertical walls and ceilings or floors.

Current state of the art

In order to better understand the problems and disadvantages of the prior art, the description of inspection doors according to the prior art continues with reference to the following images defined as "prior art, where:

Fig. 1 is a front view of a prior art inspection door;

Fig. 2 is a schematic view of part of the fixed frame of the inspection door from fig. rope part of the movable frame of the inspection door from fig. 2, which show parts of the sections which are discarded for the 45° cut;

Fig. 2A is a schematic side view of two sections placed one on top of the other;

Fig. 2B is a top view of the two sections of FIG. 2A; Fig. 2B shows a 45° section starting from the corner of the section;

Fig. 2C shows two sections from fig. 2B placed next to each other and not on top of each other; Fig. 2C shows a portion of the top and portion of the bottom removed after a 45° cut with the sections placed one on top of the other;

Fig. 3 and 3A are views of two prior art inspection doors, the sections being joined using two different connection modes.

Referring to the images shown, a conventional inspection door includes:

- a frame 91 suitable for attachment to the wall in accordance with the hole in the wall;

- a movable frame 92 located inside a fixed frame 91, in a movable manner between an open position and a closed position;

- a panel (not shown in the attached images) internally connected to the movable frame 92 and

- connecting means (not shown in Fig. 3 and 3A) for movable connection and support of the movable frame 92 with respect to the fixed frame 91.

Each frame 91, 92 consists of four sections 910, 920.

The ends of each section 910, 920 are cut at an angle of 45° in such a way that the end edge of the section 910, 920 matches and abuts the end edge of the section 910, 920 in an adjacent position.

According to the first method of connecting the sections, which is shown in fig. 3, the connection between the two sections 910,920 is achieved by means of metal corner pieces 931, each of which contains two wings, each wing being fixed to the section by means of screws 93v.

According to the second method of connecting sections, which is shown in fig. 3A, the connection between the two sections 910,920 is achieved by means of metal corner brackets 932, each of which includes two wings inserted in the longitudinal notches of the two sections in an adjacent position. In this case, the connection of each wing with the corresponding part is achieved by punching.

Despite the fact that similar inspection doors have been very well accepted by the market so far, it is evident that they are affected by some disadvantages.

The first disadvantage occurs when cutting sections to the required size. In fact, cutting sections at a 45° angle is an extremely complicated and delicate operation and therefore extremely prone to error.

Additionally, dimensional tolerances are extremely complicated to manage when section ends are cut at a 45° angle. More specifically, said inspection doors are not universal, that is, each outer fixed frame 91 matches a single inner movable frame 92 and are therefore not interchangeable. In other words, between inspection hatches of the same size, the movable frames 92 cannot be interchanged due to the presence of minor imperfections that prevent interchangeability between the movable frames 92 of the same size.

Another disadvantage that worsens the inspection door according to the prior art is related to the waste of material in the production of sections 910, 920.

In fact, according to the manufacturing process of the sections 910, 920, the sections are first formed, and then the ends of the section are cut at an angle of 45° according to the previously calculated values.

Cutting sections at a 45° angle necessarily involves a waste of material, which can usually range from a minimum of 5% to a maximum of 20%, depending on the size of the inspection door being produced and the thickness of the section. In fig. 2 is the part of the section 910, 920 that is lost, indicated by a dotted line.

SK 10028 Υ1

In addition, due to the 45° cut, the operator cannot simultaneously cut multiple sections of the same size placed on top of each other.

Such a disadvantage will become clearer with reference to fig. 2A, 2B and 2C.

Generally speaking, each section 910, 920 has a vertical wing which does not allow the sections to be stacked perfectly vertically, but rather generates a staggered effect as shown in FIG. 2A. The two sections 910', 910 of the fixed frame 91 are shown in FIG. 2A, but the same would apply to the movable frame sections 92.

Such a staggered arrangement of the sections 910', 910 does not allow the user to simultaneously cut the sections 910', 910 in the same way with a single cutting operation.

As an example, referring to FIG. 2B and 2C, when making a 45° cut starting from edge S10' of the bottom portion 910', the bottom portion 910' will be cut straight while the top portion 910' will be cut at a 45° angle, thereby losing the portion of section t10' that is directly proportional to the thickness of the vertical wing. The greater the thickness of the wing, the greater the portion tlO of the top section lost relative to the bottom during the 45° cutting operation. Therefore, the upper part of the 910 will be shorter than the lower part of the 910.

Because of this inconvenience, it will be necessary to cut one section after another, which requires a long time to produce such inspection doors.

Such a long production time is very inconvenient in the large production processes of such inspection doors.

Another disadvantage of inspection doors according to the prior art relates to the fact that, despite the precision and expertise of the operator when assembling the frames 91, 92, these frames are often equipped with irregularities (due to imperfect alignment of the sections), which strongly affect the aesthetics of the final inspection door.

In addition, the corners of the inspection door are made as sharp corners, which are extremely dangerous for the operator when mounting the inspection door on the wall.

W02020120939A1 describes a hatch, mainly for use in openings in the floor of buildings under construction. The cover includes an inner frame that is provided with smaller dimensions than the opening and is inserted into the opening, and an outer frame that has larger dimensions than the opening and rests on the floor. The hatch also includes two door panels that are hinged to the outer frame and can be moved between the closed and open positions.

Each frame contains frame elements that define a rectangular frame. Each frame member has a square or rectangular cross-section and each side is provided with a longitudinal channel that extends along the entire length of the frame member. The frame member is cut at the ends at an angle of 90° in such a way that its end surfaces are arranged perpendicular to the side surfaces.

The frame members of the frame are connected by means of a first guide element inserted into the channel of the frame member and a second guide element inserted into the channel of the second frame member, wherein said guide elements are mutually connected by means of threaded elements.

Mainly, one of the two guide elements is equipped with a threaded hole, while the other guide element is equipped with a screw suitable for connection with the threaded hole of the second guide element. With regard to the above, for the connection of two frame members, it is necessary to place each sliding element near the end of the frame member so that the screw and the threaded hole are aligned. Then, using a suitable tool (for example, a screwdriver), the screw is screwed into the threaded hole so that the two guide elements come together and connect the two frame elements.

Said guide elements, which are connected by means of threaded elements, are also used to connect the inner frame to the outer frame.

Such a hatch is affected by certain disadvantages.

Assembling the hatch, which is performed by connecting the guide elements using threaded elements, is complicated and time-consuming for the operator.

In addition, the hatch is dangerous because the outer frame may have edges or protrusions that could injure the operator.

The presence of such edges or protrusions is caused by the structural arrangement of the frame, according to which at least four of the end faces of the four frame members are exposed outwards. In fact, the end faces of the frame members that are exposed to the outside may have fraying or sharp parts that can injure the user.

In addition, unless the end face is perfectly aligned with the side face of an adjacent frame member, an edge or unevenness will be created between the side face and the end face, risking injury to the operator.

DE202006004357U1 describes a cover for a light and/or ventilation shaft. Such a cover includes a frame with four bars and four connectors. Each connector connects two adjacent bars at a 90° angle.

Each connector contains:

- a square body having two channels located at right angles;

- two screws, each of which is inserted into one of the mentioned channels and fits into the threaded seat

SK 10028 Υ1 formed at the end of the rod.

Therefore, in order to connect two adjacent rods, it is necessary to place the two rods in a vertical position, place the square body between the two rods so that the channels are aligned with the threaded seat, insert the screws into the channels, and finally screw the screws in the threaded seats. Obviously, such an operation is quite complicated and slow to perform.

Again referring to fig. 11 to 11D, the reinforcing partitions uf, um are preferably located on the back side of each corner part 3, 4 and are placed astride between the central part 30, 40 and the inserts 31, 41.

As a result of the previous description, the advantages of this utility model seem obvious. The benefits listed are as follows:

- waste or unusable residues are reduced compared to the state of the art; especially with inspection doors according to the technical solution, practically no waste or unusable residues are created during the cutting of profiles, because it is no longer necessary to cut the ends of the profiles at an angle of 45°;

- dimensional tolerances are easily achievable; more precisely, due to the 90° cut of the ends 11, 21 of section 1, 2, doors of the same size are completely identical; therefore, as long as more than one inspection door of the same size is installed, the TM movable frames are interchangeable:

- higher safety compared to inspection doors according to the prior art, this advantage is due to the absence of sharp edges on the outside of the fixed TF frame;

- highly flexible design, which means that the corner parts 3, 4 can be made of plastic or die-cast aluminum; in both cases, a simple modification of the mold used for production allows them to be adapted to any variant of the inspection door;

- better aesthetics compared to inspection doors according to the current state of the art; in fact, the sections 1, 2 and the corner parts 3, 4 are perfectly aligned, and therefore, unlike the prior art, the TM, TF frames are not equipped with steps, which can be extremely dangerous for operators, in addition to being aesthetically unpleasant;

- in addition, the 90° cut allows simultaneous cutting of several sections placed on top of each other, in the same way and with the same dimensions; the possibility of simultaneous cutting of several sections located on top of each other makes the production of inspection doors according to the technical solution significantly faster compared to inspection doors according to the current state of the art.

Furthermore, when comparing the inspection door according to the technical solution with the inspection door described in

SK 10028 Υ1

W02020120939A1 and DE202006004357U1, inspection doors according to the technical solution are:

- easier to assemble than other inspection doors, because they do not require the use of screws or multiple elements for connection and only require the connection of the corner part 3, 4 obtained in one piece with two adjacent sections 1, 2;

- more universal than other inspection doors, because the corner part 3, 4 obtained from one piece can be equipped with functional elements, such as, for example, connecting means 5, 6, hanging means 81, 83 and eyelets 71, 72 of end stop means;

- more secure than the inspection door described in W02020120939A1, because the ends of the sections 11,21 (the part of the section which may have abrasions or imperfections due to cutting) abut the inner sides 301, 401 of the central part 30, 40 of the corner parts 3, 4, and therefore not are visible or exposed and there is no danger that the user could touch or come into contact with them and cause injury or lacerations.

Numerous variants and detailed modifications can be made to the presented embodiment of the technical solution within the reach of an expert in the field, but within the scope of the technical solution as expressed in the appended claims.

As an example, although the trapdoor has been shown with a quadrangular shape, the trapdoor can be any other shape such as triangular, pentagonal, hexagonal, and the like.

In the case of a triangular shape, each frame TM, TF will have three sections 1, 2 with ends 11, 21 cut at an angle of 90° and three corner pieces 3, 4. In this case, each corner piece will connect two adjacent sections 1, 2 in an arrangement , where the two sections 1, 2 are mutually transverse but not orthogonal.

Finally, although fig. 4 to 11D show an inspection door with a fixed frame TF and a movable frame TM composed of sections and corner pieces, it would not change the purposes of achieving the objectives pursued by the utility model if, instead of being composed of sections and corner pieces, the movable frame was made of one piece with a center panel and thus defined a single monolithic cover door E that moves relative to the fixed frame TF. Such an alternative version is shown in fig. 12.
