Abstract
Herein disclosed is a continuous speed change type door check for closing a door, which comprises: a pivot pin made rotatable; a slider adapted to be linearly moved by the rotations of the pivot pin and to rotate the pivot pin when it returns; a coil spring for biasing the slider to return; a gear train for speeding up the rotations of the pivot pin; a brake connected to the gear train; and a one-way transmission clutch for operating the brake in a direction to close the door.
Claims19
A door check for closing a door, comprising:
- a first pivot pin rotatable in response to the opening and closing of said door;
- a slider adapted to be linearly moved by the rotations of said pivot pin and to rotate said pivot pin during the closing of said door;
- a first coil spring for biasing said slider in a door closing direction;
- a worm;
- a gear train connected to said worm at a final stage thereof for speeding up the rotations of said worm relative to the rotation of said pivot pin;
- brake means for applying a braking force to said worm;
- and
- a one-way transmission clutch for operating said brake means in said door closing direction,
- said one-way transmission clutch comprising a second coil spring disposed in the gear train, to attendantly provide a door check which is substantially noiseless during opening and closing of said door.
A door check comprising a pivot pin which is rotated in conjunction with the opening and closing of a door;
- a slider which is straightly moved in conjunction with the rotation of said pivot pin;
- a means for urging said slider to rotate said pivot pin in such a direction as to close said door;
- a speed increase gear train which transmits the rotation of said pivot pin in such a manner that the rotation speed of the rotation output portion of said train is made higher than that of the rotation input portion thereof;
- a brake means provided at said rotation output portion;
- a one-way clutch provided in said train so as to transmit the rotation of said train to said brake means only when said door closes;
- and a control means for controlling the movement of said slider so as to change the closing speed of said door along with the change in the angle of openness of said door, wherein the control means is a pair of partially vortical gears provided in the speed increase gear train.
A door check comprising a pivot pin which is rotated in conjunction with the opening and closing of a door;
- a slider which is straightly moved in conjunction with the rotation of said pivot pin;
- a means for urging said slider to rotate said pivot pin in such a direction as to close said door;
- a speed increase gear train which transmits the rotation of said pivot pin in such a manner that the rotation speed of the rotation output portion of said train is made higher than that of the rotation input portion thereof;
- a brake means provided at said rotation output portion;
- a one-way clutch provided in said train so as to transmit the rotation of said train to said brake means only when said door closes;
- and a control means for controlling the movement of said slider so as to change the closing speed of said door along with the change in the angle of openness of said door, wherein the one-way clutch transmits the rotation of the speed increase gear train to the brake means through a helical coil spring.
A door check for closing a door, comprising:
- a first pivot pin rotatable in response to the opening and closing of said door;
- a slider adapted to be linearly moved by the rotations of said pivot pin and to rotate said pivot pin during the closing of said door;
- a first coil spring for biasing said slider in a door closing direction;
- a worm;
- a gear train connected to said worm at a final stage thereof for speeding up the rotations of said work relative to the rotation of said pivot pin;
- brake means for applying a braking force to said worm;
- and
- a one-way transmission clutch for operating said brake means in said door closing direction,
- said one-way transmission comprising a second coil spring disposed in the gear train, wherein a rotating center axis of said first pivot pin is disposed perpendicular to axes of said gear train.
