ROLLER DOOR BLADES AND ROLLER DOORS

Номер: US20200003004A1
Автор: BRUNTON Mark James
Принадлежит:

Roller doors made of flexible material have a number of uses, particularly for rapid access into cool stores. However, such doors require stiffening in the form of wind bars to prevent the doors blowing out in gusts of wind. The wind bars produce problems when rapidly closing a roller door, as the door blade of the roller door is rolled up onto a roller. And for doors in cool stores that are opened and closed hundreds of times a day, such problems are significant. The present roller door blade solves or minimizes the problems by fitting longitudinal spacer elements along the length of the door which act to provide space between adjacent layers of the door blade as it accumulates on the roller, allowing any wind bars of the door blade to be stowed on the roller without interfering or clashing with other wind bars. 1. A roller door blade for a roller door , the roller door blade having a left edge and a right edge , the door blade being made of a flexible planar material and having one or more transverse wind bars supporting the planar material , and the door blade also having a plurality of longitudinally aligned spacer elements substantially along the length of the door blade.2. A roller door blade as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the spacer elements have a thickness of approximately half the thickness of the wind bars when measured in a direction from a forward face of the door blade to a back face of the door blade.3. A roller door blade as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the roller door blade includes a longitudinally aligned spacer element adjacent the left edge of the door blade and a longitudinally aligned spacer element adjacent the right edge of the door blade.4.

Two embodiments of a roll-up door system, based on deployable shell designs, are disclosed. Each embodiment consists of: an axle providing continuity to the embodiment, a door panel assembly, two mounting and support assemblies, and two door alignment and support tracks. Each embodiment has the following attributes: large lateral load strength to weight ratio, good natural heat flow insulation, weather tightness and, with proper jamb seals, differential pressure boundary capability. The following is a tabulation of some prior art that presently appears relevant:Overhead doors are used for a variety of applications, from refrigerated area closures to light aircraft hangar doors. Design requirements include thermal insulation, structural resistance to lateral loads, such as pressure induced by wind, and security requirements.Existing overhead door designs are classified, in U.S. patent Ser. No. 10/428,566, into two general categories: (a) single and dual panel designs and (b) designs primarily comprised of a plurality of panels or slats which are connected by belts or hinge mechanisms. General category (a) is further defined to include: (a1) rigid panel designs, (a2) flexible single sheet panel designs and (a3) flexible multi-layer panel designs.Overhead door designs may also be classified by the method of securing the door in its open configuration: rolled into a substantially cylindrical configuration (roll-up), or supported in a substantially horizontal configuration. The remainder of this discussion is concerned with only the roll-up configuration. Existing roll-up door design art generally falls into design category (a2) single flexible sheet, (a3) flexible multi-layer panel or (b) multiple connected panels or slats.(a2-1) Complete recent designs of single flexible panel roll-up overhead doors are represented by U.S. Pat. Nos. 5,129,442, 5,632,317, 7,131,481, 7,231,953, 9,637,972 and U.S. Patent Application Publications 20160177624, 20160273824, 20160348424, ...

The invention provides a conveniently fixed roller blind and a fixing device thereof. The roller blind comprises a sleeving tube, a shaft assembly, a fixing device, a retractable device, two fixing brackets, and a blind. The fixing device includes a shaft housing cover, a press buckle penetrating into the shaft housing cover, a spring retracting in the press buckle, a spring damping sleeve sleeving with the press buckle to allow the spring to expand and retract inside, a damping ring fixed on a bottom end of the spring damping sleeve, and a safety buckle shaft housing provided for the spring damping sleeve and the shaft housing cover to be sleeved into. The press buckle is moved back and forth in the spring damping sleeve by the spring, and is pressed so that the roller blind can be assembled and fixed by the fixing brackets.

A door assembly, which includes a wide door panel having increased flexibility and increased channel width with respect to the wind locks, such that the wind locks will only engage a locking bar in the channels once the door panel flexes beyond a threshold amount. The strength of the material, the utilization of a deep double panel curtain slat profile that allows for both a thicker curtain, plus the ability to fill the void between two slat panels with a lightweight polymeric insulation and the ability for the door assembly components to be allowed more room to expand and move allows this assembly to absorb as well as resist greater forces, impacts and loads imposed upon it. 1. A wind-resistant overhead closure comprising:a rolling door comprising a plurality of interconnected horizontally extending slats and movable about an aperture in a structure between opened and closed positions;an operating element coupled to the rolling door and operable to move the rolling door between the opened and closed positions; a right mounting portion configured to affix the right-side guide to the structure;', 'a right first portion extending substantially perpendicularly from the right mounting portion;', 'a right pair of vertical arms extending substantially perpendicularly from the first portion towards the aperture, a first of the arms arranged closer to the structure than a second of the arms forming a U-shaped channel, the slats of the rolling door arranged in the U-shaped channel; and', 'a right stop affixed to one of the pair of vertical arms;, 'a right-side guide configured to retain and guide the rolling door, the right-side guide comprising a left mounting portion configured to affix the left -side guide to the structure;', 'a left first portion extending substantially perpendicularly from the left mounting portion;', 'a left pair of vertical arms extending substantially perpendicularly from the first portion towards the aperture, a first of the arms arranged closer to ...
