Abstract
The invention relates to a windbreak system formed by a set of independent, folding panels that move longitudinally along an upper guide rail and another, lower guide rail and a non-movable folding door, in which each panel and the door include a rotating shaft and folding shaft. The panels are moved manually and do not have rollers, the entire weight of the panels resting on two strips of self-lubricating polymer inserted into slots in the lower rail.

A windbreak system comprising a set of foldable and independent panes sliding in a longitudinal way along a top track and a bottom track that supports the weight of every pane, and a foldable and non-sliding door with a pivot axis, the foldable and non-sliding door and the panes having a pivot and folding axis wherein each pane and door has a glass glued to:
- an internal flat face of the side arms, ending with protuberances up to 0.5 millimetres long, in an aluminium H-shaped top profile, and a flat base, the base located on the opposite side of the opening that forms a top profile hole,
- the internal flat face further having two interior walls that delimit a half open rectangular hole in its bottom side where two adjustable screws are placed to regulate the height of this profile in relation to the base of a bottom sliding profile with a H shape, and further having two straight arms to cover the side arms of the bottom profile and slightly curved at its top, wherein the base and two perpendicular arms form a hollow section in the profile that forms the pane support,
- and wherein the bottom track is identical to the top track with rectangular sections, and having a side half open whose opening is delimited by two equidistant sides in the track and, because one inside wall of the track is flat and the other vertical wall has a set of protuberances that form a virtual wall equidistant from the former, the track side in contact with the ceiling or floor has a notch channel all along the inner face opposite to the track opening, and the exterior face of the side that forms the opening has two equidistant channels where two strips, one on each channel and made of a homogeneous mixture of self-lubricating polymer, are fitted in the bottom track and brushes are placed in the top track, and a third channel working as a water collection channel, and the bottom track has some drills, parallel to the bottom track sides, wherein the profile connected to the top track is connected by:
- the pivot axis with a T axis guide that crosses the top guide bushing and whose base is fitted to a hole in the steel plate placed in the hole of the profile and by the folding axis with a screw that crosses a top hollow guide bushing and is screwed in another steel plate placed in the hole of the top profile,
- while the bottom sliding profile connects to the bottom track by the axis guide that crosses a bottom bushing guide and its semicircular base is welded to a steel plate placed in the hole of the profile and wherein the bottom side of the bottom profile rests all the weight of the pane on two strips, made of an homogeneous mixture of self-lubricating polymer, fitted in the channels in the bottom track.
