Abstract
A sliding panic bar is provided with a case which includes a configuration for electrical installation and rails for the frames of the self-locking latch, the release of which is produced by acting on a locking lever that centralizes different actuation situations. The activation by pressure of the movable half-bar causes the tilting of operating lever rocker arms which displace the shuttles, synchronous shaft and retaining springs. The system includes a mechanism for adjusting the width of the door, adjustment for use by physically handicapped people, as well as for vertical spagnolette systems, with both vertical and horizontal latch. The locks of the system are adjustable for absorbing possible expansions.
Claims9
A sliding and modular panic bar with minimum movements, provided with a head case bearing a boss, on which a sliding half-bar slides, through a guide made therein,
- said bar comprising:
- a stationary half-bar including in its extrusion a configuration enabling electrical installation with recesses differentiated of the prewiring and other specific connections,
- an auxiliary bar operatively connected to the stationary half bar,
- rails in the stationary half-bar and the auxiliary bar for the modular attachment of supporting elements and frames;
- first crenellations in the stationary half-bar for a correct alignment and movement of two first shuttles,
- second crenellations in the auxiliary bar for a correct alignment and movement of a second shuttle,
- the half bar comprising a modular synchronous shaft, being rigidly and cadentially attached to operating lever rocker arms through a lower shaft and a nonmagnetic rapier, a central part of said lower shaft being coupled to the operating lever rocker arms;
- the operating lever rocker arms are hingedly coupled in respective “U”-shaped frames and are hinged at their midpoint in their respective rotation shaft;
- each of the first shuttles having one end connected to the lower shaft and an opposed end having inclined planes supporting the ends of a main unlocking shaft embedded in a locking lever, so that when said unlocking shaft is lifted under said inclined planes, a modular sliding skid is released from engagement with the locking lever, said modular sliding skid maintains through a spring bearing the modular synchronous axis, both the positioning of rods retaining vertical spagnolettes and the positioning of a rocking-side hinged latch through its lower and upper positioning shafts thereof by connecting a transmitting rod that couples the rocking-side hinged latch to said modular skid by a crimp shaft and to the latch through one of the positioning shafts thereof;
- the rocking-side hinged latch is maintained in emergency position by pressure of a compression spring coaxially arranged in a pivoting and grooved recuperating rod, between the positioning of a lower shaft of the latch and a shaft of the locking lever,
- the rocking-side hinged latch comprises an elevated self-locking member that includes a self-locking lever, a self-locking clutch, a retaining stopper, a first compensating spring housed by the latch, and a second compensating spring housed on the self locking clutch, said springs push in opposition to the self-locking lever;
- the rocking-side hinged latch houses on one side the second compensating spring and on the other side the self-locking clutch and the self-locking lever, the retaining stopper being coupled to the transmitting rod;
- the rocking-side hinged latch has a locking mechanism in spagnolettes and is maintained self-locked when positioned on an impeller hooked on a rod-rocker and positioned on its shaft within an adjustable side lock supporting element, and remains inoperative in the remaining rocking-side hinged sequences where the latch is not positioned on the impeller located within the adjustable side lock supporting element.
