Полезная модель относится к области строительства к конструкциям для ограждения проемов, а именно к закатывающейся в рулон двери, в частности, настоящая полезная модель относится к закатывающейся в рулон двери с закатываемым в рулон дверным полотном, содержащим прозрачные ламели (панели), для закрытия дверного или оконного проема с возможностью просматривания сквозь них. Техническим результатом является повышение жесткости конструкции в различных ее положениях. Прозрачные рольставни, имеющие возможность перемещения из положения "рулон" в положение "полотно" содержат квадратный адаптер, ламели, соединительные элементы и рукоятку. Ламели и соединительные элементы соединены поочередно в полотно, одной стороной которое соединено с квадратным адаптером, а другой стороной соединено с рукояткой. Ламели имеют длинные стороны, короткие стороны, внешнюю поверхность и внутреннюю поверхности, а соединительные элементы содержат пазы. На каждой ламели вдоль длинных сторон на внутренней поверхности имеются пазы, а каждый паз соединительных элементов образован усом и выступом, причем каждый ус содержит рабочую внешнюю поверхность и рабочую внутреннюю поверхность, а каждый выступ паза соединительного элемента содержит рабочую поверхность и внутреннюю поверхность. В положении "полотно" ламели контактируют с рабочей внутренней поверхностью уса и рабочей поверхностью выступа паза соединительного элемента, а в положении "рулон" ламели контактируют с рабочей внешней поверхностью уса и внутренней поверхностью выступа паза соединительного элемента.

Flexible insulated door panels with internal baffles

Номер: US20120018102A1
Автор: Glenn R. Manich, Mark Ungs
Принадлежит: Individual

An example of a vertically operating door includes a flexible panel comprising two pliable sheets of material with a plurality of pads or mats of thermal insulation between the two sheets. In some examples, a plurality of horizontally elongate baffles made of pliable strips of material are installed between the two sheets. The baffles effectively divide one large interior volume between the sheets into more manageable smaller volumes or chambers. The baffles restrict the air between the sheets from being forced to the bottom of the panel as the panel ascends and bends across an overhead roller. Without the baffles and smaller chambers, the panel sheets in the area near the bottom of the panel would tend to bulge outward as the door opens.

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. A roller door blade as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the spacer elements are made of a flexible material.5. A roller door blade as claimed in claim 4 , wherein the spacer elements are made of a foamed and rubberised material.6.

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.

A channel for receiving a retaining member to secure shade material to a roller shade is provided. The channel comprises a first and second retaining lip sections that define an opening into the interior cavity of the channel, a first bottom wall section opposite the first retaining lip and aligned along a first plane, and a second bottom wall section opposite the second retaining lip and aligned along a second plane offset from the first plane. The second retaining lip comprises an outer lip wall that tapers towards the interior cavity and is aligned along the same first plane as the first bottom wall section. The top end of the retaining member is inserted through the opening and into the interior cavity along the first plane under the first retaining lip and over the outer lip wall and the first bottom wall section. The retaining member is then rotated into place from being aligned with the first plane to being aligned with the second plane such that a bottom end of the retaining member is positioned between the second retaining lip and the second bottom wall section. The retaining member secures a portion of the shade material within the interior cavity of the channel. 1. A roller shade comprising:a shade material comprising a top end;a retaining member; and an opening in the outer surface of the roller tube that extends between a first retaining lip and a second retaining lip and provides access into an interior cavity of the channel;', 'a bottom wall comprising a first bottom wall section opposite the first retaining lip and aligned along a first plane, and a second bottom wall section opposite the second retaining lip and aligned along a second plane offset from the first plane;', 'wherein the second retaining lip comprises an outer lip wall that extends from the outer surface of the roller tube to a tip of the second retaining lip and tapers towards the interior cavity, wherein the outer lip wall is aligned along the same first plane as the first bottom wall ...
