Definitions
- the invention relates to a device for covering or uncovering a surface, in particular a large surface, by means of a cover.
- the invention overcomes these drawbacks. It relates to a device intended to cover or discover a surface, in particular a large surface, by means of a flexible or rigid cover which is easy to construct, reliable and allows to ensure perfect coverage of the surface to be covered.
- the invention resides in the combination of a rotary helical screw coaxial with a fixed support rod, covering the surface to be covered, and a rigid axis, - connected to the sliding cover. along this screw and which is rotated around the support rod by means of a drive member. This ensures perfect sliding of the sleeve to which the cover is connected along the screw which is itself held by the support rod disposed in the vicinity of the surface to be covered.
- the assembly includes a plurality of parallel support rods which are planar if the surface to be covered is planar and which are curved if this surface is curved; - The characteristic rigid axis is mounted in a sleeve coaxial with said helical screw and is arranged along a cord in a cross section of said man ⁇ chon;
- the helical pitch of the screw is between 0.1 and ten times the outside diameter of this screw and the diameter of the torus constituting this screw, made in particular in steel, is between 0.05 and 0.5 times that the outside diameter of this screw;
- the pitch of the helical screw can be regular or progressive.
- the drive member is constituted by a mechanical assembly comprising a crank and angle references and an output shaft on which the end of the helical screw is fixed; thus, like ' a folding shutter, by rotating ' the crank, one rotates the end of the helical screw and by the same, the sleeve moves along this screw, therefore of the rod support, thereby driving the end of the cover;
- the drive member is constituted by a geared motor on the outlet axis from which the end of the helical screw is fixed;
- the output shaft of the drive member is secured to a tip arranged coaxially inside the screw and in which is fitted the end of this screw, said tip comprising a central bore in which rests the end of the support rod mounted idly in this nozzle;
- the cover is made up of a single piece, two vertices of which are arranged on the same side are fixed each to a coaxial sleeve sliding on parallel helical screws spaced along the length of this side;
- the cover is formed of two flexible parts arranged at each end of the support rod, the tops of each of these two parts arranged on the same side, being each fixed to a coaxial sleeve cou ⁇ smoothing on two parallel helical screws spaced from the length on this side, the pitch of each helical screw being reversed with respect to the place where the two flexible parts meet;
- the cover is rigid and two of its vertices located on the same side are each fixed to a sliding sleeve on the same helical screw.
- Figure 1 is a simpli ⁇ fied embodiment of the invention, adapted to a rigid cover such as for example a curtain.
- Figure 2 shows a detail of the characteristic sleeve of the invention while Figure 3 is a sectional view of the same sleeve.
- Figure 4 is a diagrammatic sectional representation of a device according to the invention for covering a curved surface, such as a sports hall, or even a greenhouse; Figures 5 and 6 represent this same assembly respectively in the open position ( Figure 5) and in the fully closed position ( Figure 6).
- Figure 7 is another embodiment according to Figure 4 wherein the surface is covered by a cover in two flexible parts.
- FIG. 8 shows in summary perspective view a sports hall comprising a tennis court covered in accordance with the invention.
- Figures 9 and 10 show another embodiment of the invention for covering vertical walls, such as walls, windows or the like.
- the assembly includes a crank (1) which actuates a bevel gear (2) whose output shaft (3) is fitted on a end piece (4).
- a coaxial sleeve (13) slides on the characteristic helical screw (6), for example in a cylindrical PVC tube whose internal diameter is slightly greater than the external diameter of the screw (6).
- This sleeve (13) has at its center a rigid axis (14), fixed by two bolts (15,16), off-center with respect to the center of the sleeve (13) like a cord.
- the crank (1) is actuated in the direction indicated by the arrow, the end piece (4) is rotated, which consequently turns the screw (6) around the support rod (7).
- the axes (14,14 ') slide along the screw (6) and thus cause the advancement of the sleeve (13) and its counterpart (13 ').
- the curtain which is for example rigid is moved from a first position to a second position and vice versa as indicated by the arrows.
- the surface to be covered is curved.
- the support rod (20) is curved and the helical screw (21) follows the shape of this rod.
- the cover to be deployed (22) formed in a single flexible part is fixed to the sleeve (13) and the 'ex ⁇ end of the screw (21) secured to the end piece (24) is actuated by an electric motor (25).
- 5 shows the cover (22) fully folded, while in Figure 4 this same cover only covers only half this surface, and finally in Figure 6 the entire surface.
- the support rod (20) consists of a steel bar fifteen millimeters in diameter.
- the helical screw (21) has an outside diameter of forty millimeters and a pitch also of forty millimeters; this screw is produced in a cylindrical torus of steel of five milli ⁇ meters.
- the sliding sleeve (13) is produced in a PVC tube whose internal diameter is fifty three millimeters and whose length is twenty centimeters.
- the rigid characteristic axis (14) has a dia ⁇ meter of six millimeters and is eccentric fifteen mil- • licer.
- the cover is formed in two parts respectively (26) and (27) arranged on each side of the curved support rod (20). The end of each of these parts (26) and (27) is connected to a sleeve (13) and (13 ').
- the screw pitch of the helical screw (21) is reversed in the part on the left relative to the screw pitch on the right.
- FIG. 8 represents a more complex embodiment of the invention intended to cover the beams (30) of a sports hall.
- the cover is formed in two parts (31,32) deployed on each side to meet in the "center in the vicinity of the bevel gear (33,34), the screw pitch the helical screw (35) being inverted relative to the pitch of the screw (36), a motor (37) drives a shaft (38) and by the references (33,34) the characteristic helical screws (35,36).
- the device according to the invention is intended to cover a vertical surface, such as for example a window or a wall.
- a single electric motor for example geared motor (40) drives a control shaft (41) which actuates bevel gears (42,43,44,45) which, in turn, drive the end pieces (46,47,48,49) on which are fixed the ends of a plurality of vertical helical springs (50,51,52,53) coaxial to rigid rods not shown.
- the characteristic rigid axis is simply placed between the support rod and the helical screw, so that there is no need to use a sleeve.
- the cover is constituted by two flexible panels (60,61) which, as the case may be, approach or move away.
- the device according to the invention has many advantages compared to those known to date since it is easy to build, easy to operate, reliable, and since it allows indifferently to cover by means of flexible covers. or rigid. In this way, it can be advantageously used to cover large flat or curved surfaces, such as tennis courts, sports halls, hangars, shelters, swimming pools, provisional buildings for industrial use, for use storage, agricultural use such as greenhouses, etc.
