Definitions
- the present invention relates to a crush-proofing safety device in automatically opening doors, which finds specific but not exclusive use in the opening phase of doors of lifts and elevators, both of the centrally opening kind and of the telescoping kind.
- safety devices are known which are destined to prevent the accidental crushing of the users between the doors during the closure thereof. Said devices are generally based on photocell systems in which the interruption of a light beam reveals the presence of an obstacle between the doors.
- pressure sensors can also be used which detect the presence of a person between the doors and command them to invert their motion and open again. All devices described above are activated in the closure phase and serve exclusively to prevent a person to be crushed trapped between the doors.
- Such movable surface is preferably made with a metal or rubber section applied to means for connecting with the jamb and able to actuate a micro-switch for stopping the motion of the door.
- This device was provided for use between the door and the jamb, but in the case of doors with multiple panels, in particular telescoping, the problem of crushing could also arise in the gaps present between two contiguous panels. DISCLOSURE OF INVENTION.
- the aim of the present invention is to eliminate the aforesaid drawbacks and to make available a crush-proofing safety device, which is suitable for use, in the opening phase, both in centrally opening and in telescoping doors, and which has such shape and dimensions as to be suitable to protect both the gaps between door and jamb and those between the door panels.
- Said aims are fully achieved by the device of the present invention, which is characterised by the content of the claims set out below and in particular in that it comprises means shaped in such a way as to constitute a movable surface which is positioned between the panel closest to the jamb and the jamb or between two contiguous panels and which, when struck, moves and thereby activates a device for stopping the motion of the door panels and possibly inverting their direction of motion.
- Figure 3 schematically shows a doors with multiple devices applied.
- the reference number 1 globally indicates a door of a lift or of an elevator, which door comprises a plurality of panels 2 able to slide along the threshold of the door on appropriate guides 3 in a known manner, to enter, during the opening phase, into a compartment 6 to the rear of an outer frame or jamb 5 or to the rear of a contiguous panel.
- the door 1 is described herein in the specific case of employment for lifts or elevators, but the device of the present invention may also be used in any door of the automatically opening kind.
- the door has four centrally opening telescoping panels, but the device can also be applied to doors provided with a different number of doors and with central or telescoping opening.
- the device of the present invention can originally be fastened both to an outer frame or jamb 5 of the door and to a door panel 2, as shown in Figure 3.
- the device comprises a vertical section 1 1 substantially extending in length over the entire height of the door, which section enters a recess 4 situated to the rear of the jamb 5 or to the panel 2, substantially entering to measure into a gap 9 between the panel 2 and the jamb 5 or between contiguous panels 2, leaving a clearance of about 6 mm.
- the section 1 1 is so shaped as to constitute substantially a closure surface 7 for the gap
- the section 11 can be made of various materials, for instance of sheet metal or rubber.
- a micro-switch 14 whose activating element 13 can be a pushbutton or a lamina, which is activated as a result of the displacement of the vertical section 1 1 struck by a user.
- This activation takes place by means of pressure or rotation of the element 13.
- the section 1 1 internally comprises elastic means not shown herein, and constituted for instance by laminas or return springs having the task of bringing the section back to the resting position at the end of the activation.
- the element 13 and the micro-switch 14 constitute a device 8 for stopping the motion of the panels of the door.
- the micro-switch can be of the type with normally open contact, which closes when activated by the movement of the section 1 1 , or with normally closed contact, which opens when activated by the movement of the section 1 1.
- the element 13 can also be of the normally pressed type, which is released as a result of the movement of the section 1 1 , breaking the contact off: in this case the micro-switch with the element 13 would be placed in correspondence with the part 7a of the surface of the section 1 1. This part 7a would press against the element 13 except in the case in which the movement of the section 1 1 causes the release of the element 13.
- the particular compactness of the section 11 allows the section to be applied both in correspondence with the jamb 5 and in correspondence with the door panel 2, to protect respectively the gap between jamb and door panel and between two contiguous door panels.
