Abstract
A system for securing a screen door module to a platform extending along a route and having at least one upright at each end and a threshold between the end uprights. The system includes a first platform edge coping plate, a second platform edge coping plate, a first base mounted fixedly on one of the first and second platform edge coping plates, a second base mounted with the ability to move in a translational movement in a direction parallel or tangential to the route, and in a direction closer toward or further away from the first base on the other of the first and second platform edge coping plates, and means of securing and adjusting the end uprights on the first and second bases.
Claims19
A system for fixing a screen door module to a platform extending along a route and comprising at least one upright at each end and a sill between the at least one upright, the system comprising:
- a first platform-edge plate;
- a second platform-edge plate;
- a first base mounted fixedly on one of the first and second platform-edge plates;
- a second base mounted movably on another of the first and second platform-edge plates with a translational movement in a direction parallel or tangential to the route, and in a direction of moving towards, or moving away from, the first base;
- and
- an adjustable fastener to fix and adjust a respective upright on each of the first and second bases, wherein at least one of the first and second platform-edge plates forms the other of the first and second platform-edge plates of a system for fixing an adjacent screen door module.
A system for fixing a screen door module to a platform extending along a route and comprising at least one upright at each end and a sill between the at least one upright, the system comprising:
- a first platform-edge plate;
- a second platform-edge plate;
- a first base mounted fixedly on one of the first and second platform-edge plates;
- a second base mounted movably on another of the first and second platform-edge plates with a translational movement in a direction parallel or tangential to the route, and in a direction of moving towards, or moving away from, the first base;
- an adjustable fastener to fix and adjust a respective upright on each of the first and second bases;
- and
- a fastener to secure the first and second base on a respective platform-edge plate, the fastener comprising a clamping screw and a spacer received in an oblong opening passing through a thickness of the base.
A method for mounting, with the aid of a fixing system, a screen door module on a platform extending along a route and comprising at least one upright at each end, wherein the fixing system comprises:
- a first platform-edge plate;
- a second platform-edge plate;
- a first base mounted fixedly on one of the first and second platform-edge plates;
- a second base mounted movably on another of the first and second platform-edge plates with a translational movement in a direction parallel or tangential to the route, and in a direction of moving towards, or moving away from, the first base;
- and
- an adjustable fastener to fix and adjust a respective upright on each of the first and second bases, wherein at least one of the first and second platform-edge plates forms the other of the first and second platform-edge plates of a system for fixing an adjacent screen door module, the method comprising:
- (a) placing the first and second platform-edge plates at a platform edge at a distance from one another corresponding to a distance between the end uprights of the screen door module;
- then,
- (b) placing and fixing the first and second bases respectively on the first and second platform-edge plates;
- then,
- (c) laying the screen door module on the first and second bases, by sliding the second base with respect to the first base;
- then,
- (d) working the adjustable fastener associated with the first and second bases to fix the end uprights in a vertical position relative to the platform.
