Blodgett, Hartford City, Ind., assignor to Overhead Door Corporation, Hartford City,
Ind., a corporation of Indiana v 0 Application August 4, 1931, Serial No. 555,110 6 Claims. (01. -20) The present invention pertains to a. novel door construction of the type wherein a door consist-' ing of superimposed panels hinged together is guided from a substantially vertical to a substantially horizontal position in moving from closed to open condition.
The principal object of the invention is to provlde a door of this character which can be operated from the seat of a fire truck, ambulance, police patrol or other vehicle automatically operated by an alarm or signal.. Another object is to provide a door which may be opened and closed by simple manual movements, preferably from an exterior point, so that a person in a vehicle may perform these movements without alighting. The door is provided with a counterbalancing system adapted to raise the door to open position without the application of additional force. Consequently, a detent is provided for maintaining the door in closed position. The detent has operating means extending therefrom to an exterior point and also to an interior point, so that the detent may be moved out of engagement with the door from the inside or outside of the door structure. There is also provided a cable extending from the upper part of the door to an exterior point and adapted to close the door when pulled. In orderto close the door from the interior of the structure, the door may be pulled down manually.
A further object of theinvention is to provide a door of this general type for use as an automatic fire door which closes on the occurrence of a fire and thus prevents spreading of the fire. The counterbalancing system which normally holds the door open includes a cable having a slackelement held by suitable means in a slack condition throughout the normal operations of the door. The means for maintaining this slack condition includes a fusible link which breaks on the occurrence of a fire and causes the slack to be taken up by initial descent of the door. The counterbalancing spring is so dimensioned that it has insuflicient tension to sustain the door after the slack has been taken up, and consequently the door continuesdo drop to its full closed position.
The invention is fully disclosed by way of example in the following description and in the accompanying drawings, in which- Flgure 1 is a rear elevation of the door struc ture, partly in section;
Fig. 2 is a transverse section of the door struc-.
struction; and
Fig. 5 is a detail section'showingelectrical operating means.
Reference to these views will now be made by use of like characters which are employed to designate corresponding parts throughout.
In the several views is showna door frame structure I defining a door opening 2 which may be closed by a vertically slidable'door. At the 1 sides of the opening are mounted rails, each consisting' of a substantially vertical portion 3 mergeing at its upper end into a substantially horizontal portion 4. The door proper consists of superimposed panels 5 joined together by hinges 6 1 Fig. 4 is a similar section of a modified conhaving horizontal axes. I The pintles I of the end I hinges carry rollers 8 which ride in the track constituted by the rails 3, 4. The horizontal sections 4 may be supported at their forward ends by brackets 9 extending from the struc re I and 9 at their rear ends by hangers l0 suspen ed from the main structure.
The door is counterbalanced by coil springs ll preferably disposed over bothsides thereof and above the horizontal rail sections 4. The rear 25 ends of the springs are secured as at l2 to the fixed structure, and the forward ends carry each a pulley I3. In line with the pulleys l3 and forwardly thereof are provided idler pulleys i4 mounted in brackets l5. Cables l6 have one end 30 secured as at H to the brackets l5, are'passed over alined pulleys l3 and I4, and finally have their remaining ends secured as at l8 to the door near the lower edge thereof. v 0
edge, as shown more clearly in Figure 1. The 40 arm I9 consists of two sections held together by bolts l9 passing through slots l9", whereby adjustment of the length of the arm may be made for variations or manufacturing tolerances in the height of the door. Pulleys 2| and 22 are suitablymounted outside of the structure but preferably near the door opening. A cable 23 ishung' over the pulley 2| and secured at 24 to the lower end of the arm I 9. Another cable 25 is thrown over the pulley 22 and is secured as at 26 to the upper edge of the door, for 'a purpose which will presently appear. This cable is guided by an idler pulley 21. An angle iron 28 secured acrossthe rear part of the structure supports a pulley 28 directly behind the arm l9 and over which is hung a cable 29 having one end connected as at 30 to the upper end of the arm l9. The same end is connected by a spring 3| to the header structure 32 in such a manner as to draw the arm to a vertical position as shown in Figure 2.
The counterbalance spring is so adjusted as to have a tension sufii'cient to raise the door when the latter is lowered or closed as in Figure 2. The raising of the door is however normally prevented by the engagement of the roller 29 with the upper edge thereof.
When the door is used in a fire station, police car garage or ambulance garage, the cable 29 is within reach of the drivers seat. When an alarm, call or signal comes in, the driver first takes his seat on the vehicle and then pulls the cable in order to open the door.
A person approaching the door in a vehicle may open the same, without stepping out of the vehicle, by merely pulling on the cable 23, Whereupon the arm and roller are removed from the path of the door, and the latter is raised by the action of the counterbalance spring. The door is closed from the outside in a somewhat similar manner by pulling on the cable 25 which draws the uppermost panel 5 to its lowest position as shown in Figure 2.
The door is lowered from the inside of the garage by a manual pull thereon and is held in closed position by the movement of the arm I9 to holding position under the action of the spring 3i. The door is opened from the interior by pulling on the cable 29, whereupon the arm [9' is swung out of contact with the upper edge of the door.
It will be seen that the counterbalancing system includes an auxiliary spring 33 within the main spring II. The auxiliary spring is tensioned when the door is lowered as shown in Figure 2, and the tensioning of this spring is necessary to overbalance the door for the purposes previously set forth.
Each of the cables l6 has a slack portion l6 extending from the anchored end I! to a rearward point. The taut portion has a fusible link 34 inserted therein. If a fire should occur in the structure while the door is open, one or both of the links 34 will break, and the slack portions l6 become effective to slacken the cables [6 throughout. A portion of the slack may be taken up by further contraction of the springs to their limit, but the greater part of the slack permits descent of the door at least until the slack is taken up. At this point, however, the springs are not sufliciently tensioned to prevent the door from continuing its descent, as a result of which the door closes entirely. Thus, the door functions as an automatically closing fire door, preventing spreading of the fire to other parts. It may also be noted that, although the springs are of insufficient tension to prevent closing of the door under the conditions described, they nevertheless offer a slight resistance to the closing, thereby causing it to close slowly and safely rather than to drop abruptly under its own weight.
In the modification shown in Figure 4, .the cable 35 passed around the alined pulleys is continuous and is anchored to the fixed structure as at 36. Behind the point 33 a trip rod 31 is pivoted in the fixed structure and has an upper hooked end 38 received in a link 39 inserted in the cable 35. The lower end of the rod is joined to a rearward point in the fixed structure by a cord 40, and in the cord is inserted a fusible link 4|. The cable 35 is dimensioned so that a slack portion 42 occurs therein between the point 36 and the link 39 when the door is open and when the position of the hooked end 38 and link 39 is fixed by the tautness of the cord 40.
If the link 4| should break under excessive temperature within the structure. the hooked end 38 will be free to swing rearwardly because of the tension of the counterbalance springs on the cable 35. In this manner, the door is free to descend, taking up the slack 42, while the link 39 eventually rides oil the hooked end 38. The condition of the counterbalance springs is such as to permit complete closing of the door in the manner already set forth.
Figure 5 shows an electrical device for moving the detent arm l9 away from the upper edge of the door. To the header structure is secured a bracket 45 which supports a solenoid 4B. The core 41 of the solenoid is connected to the upper end of the arm in a manner to pull rearwardly thereon when the solenoid is energized. The solenoid is embodied in a circuit comprising a source of current 48 and a switch 49. Theswitch represents any means for closing the circuit, such, for example, as a relay operated by an incoming fire alarm, ambulance call, police call or by means of a push button.
