Abstract
A vertically sliding roll-up door has a portal structure including vertical uprights provided with guide rails for guiding the sliding of blocks fixed along the lateral edges of the curtain, to allow the curtain to move vertically with respect to the portal structure. The curtain includes air-sealing gaskets which extend substantially over the entire length of the longitudinal edges of the curtain at the blocks, in order to block the passage of air between the guide rails and the blocks.
Claims19
A curtain of a vertical sliding roll-up door, the door comprising a portal structure including vertical uprights provided with guide rails to guide a sliding of blocks fixed along lateral edges of the curtain, in order to allow the curtain to move vertically with respect to the portal structure,
- wherein the curtain is provided with air-sealing gaskets that extend substantially over the entire length of the lateral edges of the curtain at said blocks, in order to block passage of air between the guide rails and said blocks, said gaskets having a first portion fixed to one or more of the lateral edges of the curtain, or to a strip for fixing said gaskets to the curtain, and a second portion that projects from a plane of the curtain, which is configured to rest slidably on an outer surface of the respective guide rail,
- wherein said gaskets are formed of an elastic material in a flat form, whereby said second portion, in its configuration of use resting on an outer surface of the respective guide rail, takes on a deformed shape with respect to a flat shape, such as to create an elastic return force that keeps the second portion close to the respective guide rail.
The curtain of 1, wherein the curtain includes said gaskets on both sides of each of the lateral edges of the curtain.
A curtain of a vertical sliding roll-up door, the door comprising a portal structure including vertical uprights provided with guide rails to guide a sliding of blocks fixed along lateral edges of the curtain, in order to allow the curtain to move vertically with respect to the portal structure,
- wherein the curtain is provided with air-sealing gaskets that extend substantially over the entire length of the lateral edges of the curtain at said blocks, in order to block passage of air between the guide rails and said blocks,
- wherein each of the gaskets has a first portion and a second portion, wherein an end of the second portion of each of the gaskets is thicker than the first portion, and
- wherein said second portion of each of the gaskets has a tubular shape.
