FRONT (FR I) MAY 14 2010 16:23/ST. 16:20/No. 6810051136 P 4 Description Technical field application :
This invention relates to roll-up type door assemblies which are generally used in commercial and industrial applications, elongate guides for use in these door assemblies, and curtain locks for retaining edge sections of the flexible door curtains used in these assemblies. But the invention also relates to any roll-down or roll-side type door and conveyor type door.
It is well known in the door industry to provide a flexible, roll up door that can be used to provide a passageway barrier in industrial, commercial, mining and other such facilities to accommodate the access of trucks, trains, forklifts and other such equipment to the facility or building or to provide passageway barriers within the facility.
The invention also relates to rooftop application for agriculture and residential greenhouses.
The invention hereby is also related to the industry of greenhouses which is well known to need a translucent roof, translucent walls and ventilation openings to control moisture and temperature at optimized level for the growth of plants.
Previous Techniques :
A flexible roll-up type door typically consists of a synthetic rubber or fabric curtain which acts as a barrier across the passageway. The curtain is attached across its top edge to a rigid steel pipe spanning the width of the passageway. This steel pipe is typically known as a drive barrel and is equipped with a solid steel shaft at both ends. Each of the two steel sha8s are supported by a flanged type bearing attached to a steel plate, typically known as an endplate, which is attached to the building structure directly above the passageway. Applying a controlled rotational movement of the drive barrel results in the curtain spooling onto the drive barrel, thus retracting the curtain upward to expose the passageway. Also, it may be inversely spooled off the drive barrel to dispense the curtain downward and close off the passageway.
The lq cr, horizontal perimeter or the bottom of the curtain is reinforced with structural steel members to provide rigidity to the section of curtain edge malting contact with the ground. This component of a flexible roll-up door is typically known as a bottom bar and must be of sufficient rigidity to maintain adequate straightness of the curtain for the operation of the door The bottom bar is configured to a predetermined mass to provide adequate gravitational force to pull the curtain to the ground. The bottom bar may include reversing, safety and/or sealing devices mounted thereon.
The two vertical perimeters of edge sections of the curtain usually travel within suitable enclosures mounted adjacent to the passageway on each side. This component is typically known as a guide and serves the purpose of maintaining the required position of the vertical edge of the curtain while permitting unrestricted travel during door operation. The curtain is most often configured along its vertical edges with appropriate components, hereto referred to as curtain locks, to mate with the guides. Many flexible roll-up doors are constructed so that a predetermined releasing force can cause the curtain to disengage itself from the guide or guides, for example, when the curtain is impacted by a vehicule or other device or by extreme wind pressure. The curtain is both retracted by and dispensed from the drive barrel over the forward side of a horizontal, rigid steel pipe spanning the width of the passageway.
This pipe is located FROM (FR I) MAY 14 2010 16 : 23/ST. 16 : 20/No. 6810051136 P 5 above the passageway and inn close proximity to the building structure to provide an upper horizontal perimeter seal to the passageway and fu ther serves as a curtain positioning mechanism, aligning the curtain with the guides mounted to the vertical sides of the passageway.
This steel pipe is typically known as an idler barrel and is equipped with a solid steel shaft at both ends. Each of the two steel shafts are supported by a flange bearing attached to its respective mounting angle.
The known flexible roll-up door systems can also include various other components to complete their functionality such as a counterbalance system, often through the use of torsion springs and/or weights, an operating mechanism that may consist of a manual hoist and/or electric motor with gear and/or chain power transmission arrangement, along with other secondary components.
Known roll-up doors are commonly equipped with a curtain that has an element or elements attached to the vertical edges of the curtain (forming a curtain lock or locks) that co-operate with fabricated, often elaborate, guide assemblies.
United States Patent No. 5,392,836 which issued February 28, 1995 to Rite Hite Co "on teaches the use of a series of hemispherical follower elements attached to side edge sections of the curtain of a roll up type door. An external force can disengage these follower elements from the door guide by changing the relative dimension of the gap formed by the guide and the follower element or elements. This relative dimensional change is achieved by utilizing a multiple component, fabricated guide that is inherently incapable of precise production dimensioning and often becomes askew or out of alignment during service. Thus, it is believed that this known roll-up door system is incapable of precise operation and therefore lacks reliability.
In the same way, Canada patent No. 2,446,648 which issued March 29, 2005 to John Craig Ycnv and to TNR Industrial Doors Inc. teaches the use of a locking rounded exterior surface rib attached to the curtain as a connector to the locking guides. This rounded design is known to have problems to make curtain and its rounded lock to roll and keep alignment.
Since the design of a rounded form is hardly stackable on a rolling drive barrel.
United States Patent No. 3,815,174 which issued June 11, 1974 Marianne Seitz teaches the use of a track for curtain and drapes designed for retaining spherical or rounded sliding means on a sliding strip in the track. Also, it teaches the use of a guiding strip substantially parallel to a ceiling flange. This application does not refer to an angular body of the sliding means or connector, neither that it is designed to have a guiding strip substantially perpendicular to a locking strip or ceiling flange.
Resume of the invention The major problem encountered with roll-up doors is to find a good design for the rolling curtain and its connecting endlocks that could respect three constraints, said endlock referring to any fastener connector attached to the curtain on its side edge. The first constraint is that the connecting endlocks should be flexible enough to bend onto the rolling drive barrel. The second constraint is that the connecting endlocks should be easily stackable so it could keep a straight alignment. The third constraint is that the connecting endlocks should be lockable in the side guides to be able to stretch curtain to both side ends and also to be able to release or not in case of impact The novelty of the design hereby on the connecting endlock respects perfectly all constraints and allows a fast and easy rolling movement while being stackable with alignment.
Also, this new connecting endlock, allows either a releasable or non-releasable holding into the designed guides (guide referring to a track). Finally, the components and design of the closing FROM ( F R I ) M A Y 1 4 2 0 1 0 16: 23/ST.16: 20/No.6810051136 P 6 device hereby allows an easy and efficient washing and then, no food should stick to the curtain, to the guides and to the connecting endlock nor into any interstice which is a good advantage for the food industry in their search for clean and self-cleaning equipments.
Also, related to the greenhouse industry, the novelty of the concept and designs hereby allows a complete movable rooftop application.
