Definitions

  • ABSTRACT F THE DISCLOSURE An apparatus for releasing the weight of heavy sliding door or window panels which may be laterally moved for instance by rolling along horizontal tracks.
  • An elongated linear winding armature of partial length with respect to the length of the track is axed to the panel and moves with it within a magnetic eld airgap arranged along the track. Said winding is energized from pairs of brushes arranged along said track.
  • the present invention concerns improvements in or relating to sliding panel actuators for easing the manual control of sliding heavy panels such as those of windows and doors.
  • a linear motor armature is attached to an horizontal side of the panel frame.
  • a magnetic field linear airgap is created along the useful run of the track from linear elongated members cooperating with said track on which, for instance, the panel may slide for instance by rolling along said track.
  • said armature is fed with an electrical current, the weight of the panel is substantially compensated for from the magnetic attraction between the armatu-re and eld members of such a linear actuator.
  • FIG. 1 shows a front view in partial cross-section of an illustrative embodiment of a device according to the invention and associated to the lower framework of a sliding panel;
  • FIG. 2 shows a transversal cross-section view of said embodiment
  • FIG. 3 shows a top partial view of an illustrative embodiment of the armature in said embodiment.
  • A denotes the width or span of the sliding panel proper, the lower bar of the framework of which is shown at 4.
  • This panel can be controlled for occupying the position B, with a small overlap between the shut A position and the open B position thereof (a iixed panel, not shown, normally occupies the span B behind the panel A).
  • the frame 4 is secured, through any suitable known means, not shown as conventional per se, to and on an elongated plate 3 which substantially spans over the distance A and makes part, see FIG. 2, of an elongated stirrup-mem-ber the other branch of which 2 at least is made of soft magnetic iron or alloy. Said other branch plate 2 spans over the same length as the plate 3. Beneath the plate 3 are atiixed through any conventional securing means not shown a plurality of carriers 7 for rollers 8. These rollers bear on the upper side of a roller-path 9 spanning substantially over the distance (A +B-C).
  • Said roller-path 9 is a plate supported from a gully 10, also extending over such a span (A -l-B-C) and resting on the hardware of the wall wherein the concerned window -is mounted.
  • a plate 11 of a coercive hard magnetic material such as a ferrite wherein a series of alternate magnetic polarity poles have been magnetized along the length thereof.
  • Said plate 11 consequently constitutes the field member of an actuator the magnetic airgap is defined between said field plate 11 and the facing soft magnetic plate 2.
  • Pairs of brushes such as 12 are provided for the supply of said armature with electrical current, direct or rectified current for instance.
  • the brushes pass through the plate 9 and in each pair (several paralleled pairs can be provided along the arrangement) the two paralleled brushes are arranged near the lateral edges of the armature.
  • the armature winding may be such as shown in FIG. 3, that is to say it may comprise a flat series wound winding of two layers of half-turn conductors of lamellar form.
  • each of the half-turn conductor presents a mid-portion which is substantially transverse to the lateral width of the winding, extended on both sides by slanted extensions (they may be evolvents if required) up to the edges so that the shift between the ends of said conductor defines the progression pitch of the Winding.
  • the orientation of the slanted portions is reversed from one layer to the other one and the facing ends are electrically interconnected for deiining the electrical circuit of the winding.
  • the winding presents half-turn conductors only on one face, reverse from one end to the other; in the FIG. 3 as shown, such conductors, spanning over two polar spans, are in the upper layer at the left-hand end and in the lower layer at the right-hand end.
  • connections between the free ends of the half-turn conductors as shown at 14 in FIG. 3. Such connections could be made with lamellar conductors in the plane of the winding.
  • end to end connections 14 with conventional insulated wires soldered at both their ends to the corresponding ends of the half-turn lamellar conductors, and to locate such wires 14 within a gutter 13 secured under the plate 2 over which is secured the armature.
  • the sliding panel comprises, for instance, two insulating plates 5, glass for instance, spaced and maintained by a plastic joint 6 Within a gutter member 4 comprising the bar of the carrier framework of said panel.
  • the device which has been described in relation to linearly displaced panels of fiat shape is directly adaptable to arcuate panels which must be moved along correspondingly arcuate paths, from an obvious modification of the linear shapes of members such as 9-11-2-13 into corresponding arcuate shapes of such members.
  • An actuator device for at least substantially reducing the apparent weight of a sliding panel in its displacement along a substantially horizontal track comprising the combination of an elongated multi-polar eld structure extending substantially over the span of said track and defining a correspondingly extending magnetic airgap, a flat elongated winding armature secured to a side of the framework of said panel parallel to said track and located within said magnetic airgap, and electrical current transducer means associated to said field structure for the supply of said winding armature with an electrical current the polarity of which defines the direction of the magnetic attraction between said armature and said field structure in the direction of said track.
  • said armature winding is of the series-wound kind with at least two layers of half-turn conductors each extending substantially transversely to the length of the winding, and wherein return conductors for closing the electrical circuit or said winding from end to end are located within a gutterlike member secured under the branch of said stirrup member carrying said armature.
