Abstract:
The invention relates to a construction element for forming a connection between two parts of a building that are thermally insulated from one another, comprising an elongate portion comprising a thermally insulating material, and configured to be placed between the parts of the building, bars which run through the thermally insulating portion and which are configured to be anchored in the building parts that are to be connected and thus to absorb the tensile forces between these building parts, and means for absorbing compression and shear forces between the building parts,characterised in that the bars comprise metal bars, as well as non-metallic bars formed of a thermally insulating material, and wherein the metal bars are configured to maintain the connection when the tensile force absorbed by the non-metallic bars is lost.
Abstract:
A sliding door lock system (100) has a centrally-disposed operator (106). The operator (106) has a casing (110) with a trigger (116) retractably extended from the casing (110). An operator mechanism (112) disposed in the casing (110) is operatively engaged with the trigger (116). A lock (108) remotely disposed from the operator (106) has a housing (118). A pair of opposed locking hooks (122) extend from the housing (118) and a spring (136) biases each hook (122) into an unlocked position. A block (124) pivotably connected to the housing (118) is configured to engage the hooks (122) when hooks (122) are in a locked position. An elongate member (128) operably connects the operator mechanism (112) to the block (124).
Abstract:
A handle (10), in particular of the cremone bolt type, applicable onto the frame (100) of a moveable wing of a window or door and comprising a box-shaped body (11) that has a face (12) for resting on the frame (100) and a face (13) opposite to the resting face (12) and from which a manoeuvring handgrip (14) projects, said handgrip (14) being fixed to a rotor (15) that is housed in the box-shaped body (11) in a rotatable manner about a rotation axis (R) orthogonal to the resting face (12), wherein the rotor (15) is associable to a mechanism (18) for transforming the rotary motion of the rotor (15) into a translation motion of at least one slider (19) which can be coupled to a respective rod (106) for manoeuvring or closing the moveable wing, wherein the handle (10) is characterised in that the at least one slider (19) is provided with a tab (24) that projects from the resting face (12) and that extends in the direction substantially parallel to the rotation axis (R) to be inserted into a slot (104) obtained in the frame (100) and onto which tab a respective attachment plate (25) is mounted, onto which the end of a respective manoeuvre or closing rod can be fixed, wherein the attachment plate (25) is guided on the tab (24) slidably along a direction parallel to the rotation axis (R) and wherein between the attachment plate (25) and the tab (24), a toothed coupling is defined that extends along the relative sliding direction between the attachment plate (25) and the tab (24) and whose mutually meshed teeth develop in the direction transverse to the sliding direction to allow a "stepped" adjustment of the position of the attachment plate (25) with respect to the tab (24).
Abstract:
A blast-resistant structure comprises a body (1) in which an aperture is defined. The aperture is bounded by two edge parts of the body. The blast-resistant structure further comprises a door (2), and first and second securing mechanisms (50) to secure the door (2) to respective ones of the body edge parts. Each securing mechanism (50) comprises a locking channel (51, 52) associated with the body (1) and a corresponding locking pin (28) associated with the door (2). Each locking pin (28) is moveable between an open position in which the locking pin (28) is external to the locking channel (51, 52) and a secured position in which the locking pin (28) is engaged in the locking channel (51, 52). The locking channel (51, 52) has a generally rectangular cross-section that is defined on at least first and second sides by a locking pin retention part.
Abstract:
A mortise lock comprising an outer casing, a bolting assembly, a cylinder arrangement (34;502), a locking mechanism (600;1100), at least one extension rod (528T, 528T, 528R) and a split-nut arrangement, wherein: the cylinder arrangement is associated with the bolting assembly (526) and the locking mechanism, and is adapted for activating the bolting assembly to assume an unbolted position and a bolted position; the locking mechanism comprises a stopper adapted for assuming an unlocked position, corresponding to the bolting assembly' s unbolted position, and a locked position, corresponding to the bolting assembly' s bolted position, and adapted in the locked position for preventing retraction of the bolting assembly into the unbolted position thereof; the at least one extension rod is articulated to the locking mechanism so as to assume a retracted position corresponding to the bolting assembly' s unbolted position, and an extended position corresponding to the bolting assembly's bolted position; the split nut arrangement comprises an inside nut plate associated with an inside handle nut (512) and an outside nut plate associated with an outside handle nut; and wherein the inside nut plate is associated with the at least one extension rod and the stopper such that displacement of the inside nut plate entails simultaneous displacement of the stopper from the locked position to the unlocked position, and displacement of the extension rod from the extended position to the retracted position.
Abstract:
An improved security system (100) is provided and comprises a member (35) associated with the barrier, whether internal or external to the barrier, and adapted to extend from a first length to a second length. An actuation mechanism (24,15,25) is coupled to the member and is adapted to extend the member from the first length to the second length and to contract the member from the second length to the first length. A receptacle (36) is provided adjacent the barrier for receiving a portion of the member when the member is extended by the actuating mechanism. A hinge assembly (30) is provided and is disposed substantially opposite the receptacle and adjacent the barrier and is coupled to another end of the member, such that when the member is actuated to the extended position, the member, receptacle and hinge assembly form a security system to prevent unwanted entrance through the barrier.
