[0001] The invention belongs to the field of mechanics with regard to anti-mosquito screen
systems that are used for horizontal door sliding.
[0002] According to today's state of the art, those systems use two kinds of anti-mosquito's
screen (net): the stretched screen that is rolled and unrolled and the pleated (folded)
screen which is folded and unfolded. With both examples of screen, the anti-mosquito
system consists always of the following accessories: one vertical restraint box that
is screwed on one of the two vertical frames, one lateral fixed guide screwed on the
opposite vertical frame, one vertical sliding box which moves between the restraint
box and the lateral fixed guide and in a position parallel to them, by rolling and
unrolling the screen, and two articulated guides that are built-in and consist a part
of the entire system. The entire anti-mosquito screen is a folded frame that has the
restraint and the sliding boxes as its two vertical sides and the two articulated
guides, the upper and the lower, as its two horizontal sides. Those articulated guides
are formerly used as guides in several applications (IGUS'
DE3806400 guides for electrical cables).
[0003] The anti-mosquito screens with articulated guides work as follows: In principle,
the articulated guides are placed inside the restraint box. When the user pulls the
sliding box in order to unroll the anti-mosquito screen, the two articulated guides,
due to their joints, are bended by each joint and get out of the upper and the lower
opening of the restraint box, taking a horizontal position at the upper and the lower
opening of the frame.
[0004] If the anti-mosquito screen is a stretched one (not a pleaded one), it is enrolled
around the restraint axis which is placed inside and along the sliding box.
[0005] As the anti-mosquito screen is unrolled, its ends, the upper and the lower, are always
inside the articulated guides. On the contrary, when the user wants to wind up the
screen and bring it back in its original position within the restraint box, he presses
the sliding box towards its initial position and simultaneously he also presses the
two articulated guides which, due to their joints, are bended again by each joint
and reenter into the restraint box, in their initial position. Similar is the functioning
of the systems with a pleated screen. The only difference this time is that the screen
is folded in folds (it is pleated) between the two vertical boxes, the restraint and
the sliding ones, and that the articulated guides can be placed in the sliding box
also. The pleated screen folds and unfolds in its pleats, having short ropes which
traverse it longwise and one of the ends of those ropes is fixed on the sliding box,
whereas the other end of the ropes is fixed on the ends of the articulated guides
that are inside the restraint box. The short ropes are always of even number and being
placed in equal distances one from the other are useful in keeping the pleated screen
straight in its position, when it is unfolded. They are also useful for its refolding
in its pleats.
[0006] Apart from the short ropes that are specifically used when the anti-mosquito screen
has a pleated screen, most of the systems, either with stretched or with pleated screen,
use another additional short rope which, in crosswise form, connects one end of the
upper articulated guide with one end of the lower articulated guide. Those ends are
inside the restraint box (indicative example
EP 0999335 Al). Thus, the movement of one of the articulated guides leads to the movement of the
other, since their ends are connected.
[0007] The anti-mosquito systems with articulated guides, having either a stretched or a
pleated screen, in order to be placed at an opening (frame), it is a precondition
the height measurements of the specific opening to be taken. The restraint and the
sliding boxes, as well as the lateral guide, are always ordered in the exact height
of the specific openings. When the anti-mosquito systems are prepared, they are delivered
set to be placed mounted as a folding closed frame. That is, the restraint box and
the sliding box are in the specific measurements of the opening ordered for; the screen
is in its position and the two articulated sliding guides (upper and lower) are placed
inside the box. In other words, it is about a prepared frame which is screwed on the
specific opening ordered for. The same applies of course to the vertical lateral guide
which is also delivered in the specific height ordered for so as to be screwed on
the opposite vertical door opening.
[0008] The placement is accomplished as follows: The restraint box is screwed on the one
vertical frame and the vertical lateral guide on the opposite vertical frame; that
is in a parallel position to the restraint box. The sliding box is parallel and moves
between them; that is parallel to the restraint box and the lateral guide. It is the
box that moves, goes and returns, by opening or closing at the same time the screen.
[0009] The technical problems that today's above-described state of the art presents refer
to the pleated screen as well as to the automatic screen with the stretched screen
and are the following:
The main disadvantage and technical problem of the above today's state of the art
is that if the frame's measurements are not taken correctly, and more specifically
the height measurements of the restraint box, the sliding box and the vertical lateral
guide, the entire anti-mosquito system is useless, and thus the measurements must
be retaken and a new system must be ordered from the outset. It is entirely replaced
because, what regards the placement, the system consists a unified technical element,
a prepared frame of four sides which is manufactured in the specific measurements
of the order. That frame is a folding one, it opens and closes longwise, due to the
articulated guides, but its vertical sides are of fixed and not variable length. The
anti-mosquito system that was cut and mounted in wrong dimensions is not repaired
and there is not any possibility for any accessory of which the anti-mosquito screen
system consists of, to be replaced. More particularly, incorrect height of the vertical
lateral side and of the two boxes cannot be corrected. What regards them, only a mistake
in the order of ± 1 mm accepts an excuse.
[0010] A second technical problem that today's state of the art presents is that when the
anti-mosquito's device screen is wound up and the two articulated sliding guides revert
and enter the fixed restraint box, the two guides slide (in some systems) one over
the other or one inside the other, or (in some other systems) they slide inside metal
skeletons, with a result to create huge noise, embarrassing for the user. The noise
is due to the fact that, in many systems, the two ends of the articulated guides,
one from the first and one from the second, which are inside the box fastened together
by the short rope, are pulled by the short rope in a direction out of a straight way.
That opposite force that the attraction from the short rope exerts on their ends causes
on one hand the guides' friction either between them or against metal skeletons and
on the other hand it creates noise.
[0011] Finally, a third technical problem is that apart from the noise the two guides, when
they meet each other and terminate, sometimes hook each other and thus they get blocked.
In order the user to unblock them, he has to pull out the sliding box by using great
force. By a repeated blocking, the guides' ends are damaged and they need to be replaced.
[0012] For the first technical problem, that of the mistaken height measurements, there
is not any solution proposed in today's state of the art.
[0013] Equally, the second technical problem of noise is not solved in
EP 1905944 B1 which only applies to stretched screen and one guide enters the other. The short
ropes pull the guides in a direction one towards the other. Thus, the two articulated
guides, as one enter the other, create friction against their lateral walls and an
embarrassing noise is caused. At this point, the problem of the guides' blocking to
each other is also present.
[0014] The same technical problem of noise is not solved in
EP 1783320 A1 and
EP 1640554 which again only apply to stretched screen where one guide stops when it meets the
other (one does not enter the other). At this point again, the short ropes pull the
guides out of a straight way and because of that, the guides rub up against the lateral
walls and noise is created, as well as the guides' blocking to each other.
[0015] The same technical problem of noise is not solved in
EP 0999335 B1,
EP 1903175 A2,
EP 1653038 A1 και
WO 2007/148756 A1 which only apply to screens with a pleated screen, where again the short ropes exert
an attraction on the guides with a direction out of a straight way and because of
that, the guides rub up against the lateral walls and noise is created or the guides,
as they enter each other, they create friction to each other and thus noise is caused.
At this point, the problem of the guides' blocking to each other is also present.
[0016] Finally, there is also
WO2010/016325 A1 which replaces the short ropes used for the connection of the ends of the two articulated
guides, with a strap. The guides are connected to points of the strap's perimeter,
which revolves around two pulleys. The two guides roll inside a profile with partition
inserts in the middle, along the box, by forming along its entire length two sections.
At the same time, as the strap revolves around two pulleys, its sides however are
not parallel because the articulated guides, which have their ends fastened at points
of its circumference, slide always on the box partition inserts and pull constantly
the strap towards them, out of its straight way. The technical problem of noise exists
because of that, that is the opposite force between the strap and the articulated
guides which on one hand pull the strap towards them out of its straight way, on the
other hand they slide inside the profile of the box with the partition inserts in
the middle where friction is created and resistance is encountered.
[0017] The present invention uses also a strap but in a different way from today's state
of the art, as it uses accessories that allow the complete abolishment of the two
separate sections.
[0018] More specifically, the present invention solves the three above technical problems
that refer to the wrong measurement of dimensions, to the noise and to the guides'
blocking and is applied in the same way and with the same technical elements to the
automatic screen as well as to the pleated screen, without any discrimination.
[0019] In principle, it solves the noise and the blocking problem, as the two guides neither
meet each other nor slide inside two parallel guides. Also no short ropes are used
in order to fasten the end of one articulated guide to the other's end. There are
not friction powers which the user has to overcome by force.
[0020] In addition, it solves the wrong height measurements problem, as it provides a special
accessory to stabilize the strap's height, thanks to which the internal system's mechanism
becomes independent from the boxes' height.
[0021] In brief, the invention uses specifically a unified vertical section, and not two
parallel ones with partition inserts. Inside the section lies the strap which revolves
around two pulleys. One pulley is connected to a special stabilization accessory of
the strap's height.
[0022] The first joints of the first articulated guide are connected to a point of their
"back" with a point of the strap's circumference. The articulated guide toes the line
with the moving strap and follows the same vertical movement with it without being
pulled by the short ropes out of its way. Thus, there is not a guide's friction against
the walls and noise is not created. The guide is terminated on the special stabilization
accessory of the strap's height.
[0023] In a similar way, the first joints of the second articulated guide which enters from
the opposite side are also connected to the strap's circumference at a point diametrically
opposite to the connection point of the first articulated guide. The connection of
the joints with the strap is made by a special additional accessory. This guide also
toes the line with the moving strap and follows its vertical way. The guides enter
and get out of the box by following a parallel way with the straight vertical way
of the strap and thus the noise is obliterated. When the guides are out of the restraint
box, they are horizontal by constituting the upper and the lower part of the frame.
When the guides are inside the restraint box, they are vertical, completely parallel
to each other and to the two sides of the strap. Thanks to guides' vertical position,
the present invention obliterates the frictions of the articulated guides as between
them as against the walls of the box profile which they enter and get out of.
[0024] A first advantage of the present invention is that it is solves the technical problem
caused when the order of the anti-mosquito system comes from the factory in wrong
measurements, bigger in height from the opening at which the system will be placed,
a problem often arisen. Thanks to its special stabilization accessory of the strap's
height, the entire mechanism of the mosquito screen in the present invention stops
quite below, being thus completely autonomous from the upper articulated guide of
the mosquito screen; an element which permits the user to measure and cut the restraint
and the sliding boxes (with the screen) in the proper measurements on the spot in
the placement room. Afterwards, he mounts on the spot the upper articulated guide,
he closes the top (cap) of the restraint box and screws the system on the door openings.
[0025] The solution of that problem is maximized as the production factory can produce directly
prepared pre-manufactured anti-mosquito screen systems (kit) in specific height categories
of the two boxes (restraint and sliding ones) and of the lateral guide, for example
"kit with a boxes and guide height from 1900 to 2200mm", "kit with height from 2201
to 2500mm" and "kit with height from 2501 to 2800mm". In contrary to all systems of
today's state of the art and thanks to the stabilization accessory of the strap's
height which the present invention provides, the kits leave the production factory
without the accessories of the upper articulated guide and those of the upper box
cap being mounted on them and without a danger the product to be dismounted because
of that. Those accessories will be mounted later by the user himself in the placement
room. Thus, for example, if two frames' openings of 2000mm and 2100mm height each
separately are to be covered, the user will choose two same "kits with height from
1900 to 2200mm" and will cut the boxes and the lateral guide at any point of the length
between 1900mm to 2200 mm and hereupon at 2000mm for one opening and at 2100mm for
the other, on the spot in the placement room. This is accomplished thanks to the special
stabilization accessory of the strap's height which makes the entire mechanism of
the anti-mosquito screen autonomous under a point defined as the minimum kit's point
that in the specific example are the 1900mm. Thus, the user cuts on the spot in the
placement room the boxes in the proper measurements. If he cuts them high, he has
to cut them even more. If he cuts them short, he has to cut a similar new kit and
after that he adds the upper articulated guide and the cap and screws the system on
the door openings. The one and only choice that the user has to make is to decide
if he wants the kit supplied to have a stretched or a pleated screen.
[0026] A second advantage of the present invention is that thanks to strap and the stabilization
means at the back of the first joints, the usage of the two separate internal sections
is completely abolished and they are replaced by a unified section without any partition.
It is also abolished the usage of the unified rope that fastened and connected together,
crosswise, the ends of the two articulated guides. The outcome is that the two articulated
guides move in straights, completely parallel as to each other and as to strap's sides
without coming in touch neither with each other nor with the aluminium walls of the
profile and that the frictions of the articulated guides and the resistances exerted
for their movement against the strap are obliterated. Thus the noise friction problem
and the blocking problem that the today's state of the art presents are completely
obliterated.
[0027] However, the main advantage of the present invention is that it offers an exceptional
time saving to the user who buys prepared kits and he does not need to wait the order
execution of specific measurements.

and in terminal position (18c).
[0046] Drawing 19 pictures the anti-mosquito system when it provides two stabilization accessories
of the strap's height placed one at the internal and the other at the external implied
section of the box, connected the first to the upper and the second to the lower pulley
respectively, as well as the two articulated guides in starting position (19a), in
the middle of the way (19b) and in terminal position (19c).
[0047] An example implementing the present invention follows with a detailed description
and reference to the attached drawings.
[0048] As depicted in Figures 3, 4 and 8, the two articulated guides, the upper (2) and
the lower (3), move inside the metal restraint box (1). Inside the restraint box (1)
and along it lies the strap (4), placed vertically and revolved around the two pulleys,
the upper (5) and the lower (6), which keep it stretched. The diameters of the two
pulleys (5 and 6) are equal. Thus, the two sides of the strap move always parallel
to each other. As the strap (4) crosses over the box (1) longwise in the middle of
it and in a position parallel to the walls, two implied parallel sections of parallelogram
form are created on each side of the strap (4). The internal (19) and the external
(20) section. The articulated guides (2 and 3) enter and get out of those sections.
[0049] As depicted in Figures 1, 2, 4, 5, 6, 9, 10 and 11, the special stabilization accessory
(8) of the strap's (4) height is connected with its one end to the upper pulley (5).
In the same way it could be connected to the lower pulley (6, drawing 18). The accessory
(8) is placed vertically to the internal wall of the restraint box (1) and is fixed
by two screws (15), inside two grooves/"teeth" (16).
[0050] The accessory's length (8) exceeds always the height of the articulated guide (3),
so that the lower articulated guide (3) moves inside the internal (19) section. In
that section, the accessory (8) is the point on which the lower (3) articulated guide
terminates its sliding (terminal point).
[0051] The accessory (8) enters the restraint box (1) in a sliding way and moves longwise
inside the grooves (16, drawings 1, 2, 5 and 9) of the restraint box (1) until it
is fixed by two screws (15) on the point that the height of the strap (4) should be,
taking into account the kit's final height. At the point where is the accessory (8)
and the pulley (5) to its end, there is also the strap's (4) and the lower articulated
guide's (3) terminal height. From the point that the stabilization accessory (8) lies
(minimum point) and above till the end of the restraint box (1) (maximum point), the
user is able to cut the box in the exact height of the frame (drawing 13).
[0052] The two articulated guides, the upper (2) and the lower (3) (drawings 5-7) are fixed
on the strap (4) and on two points of its perimeter which are diametrically opposite
to each other.
[0053] In particular, the upper guide (2) has on its first or even on its second joint one
or two (respectively) additional accessories (7). Those accessories (7) connect the
joints with the external surface of the strap (4) to one or two connection points,
respectively (9) (drawings 4, 5 and 7). Those accessories (7) have an adequate length,
so that the guide (2), as it moves, driven by the strap, not to pull the strap (4)
towards it, but to move vertically, parallel to it. Thus, the strap does not converge
on the guide, but it keeps its straight, vertical movement.
[0054] Similarly, the lower guide (3) is connected to points of the external surface of
the strap (4), to the "back" of the joints (12) that the guide has. The connection
is made by screws (13) that connect the first two joints (12) of the lower articulated
guide (3) with the external surface of the strap (4) (drawings 4a and 5a). That guide
(3) moves also vertically, parallel to the strap (4) and does not pull the strap towards
it.
[0055] When the upper (2) and the lower (3) articulated guide are in starting position (figures
4a and 9a), their connection point with the strap (4) lies at the highest and the
lowest point of the strap (4), respectively. When they are in the middle of the way
(figures 4b and 10a), their connection point with the strap (4) is in the middle of
strap's length (4). And when they are at their terminal point (figures 4c and 11a),
the connection point of the upper guide (2) with the strap (4) lies at the lowest
point of the strap (4) and the connection point of the lower guide (3) with the strap
(4) lies at the highest point of the strap (4), leaning at the same time on the stabilization
accessory (8). The part of the articulated guides that is inside the box is always
vertical, parallel to the strap (drawings 4-13).
[0056] As the strap moves, the lower (3) articulated guide leans with its "back" on the
moving strap and follows the same movement with it, without being pulled by the short
ropes out of its way. Exact the same happens with the upper articulated guide (2)
which is connected with the additional accessories (7) to the strap and thanks to
them it is not pulled out of its straight and vertical way. Thus, there is not created
any friction between the articulated guides and the strap nor between the articulated
guides or between them and the walls.
[0057] The other ends of the articulated guides (2 & 3), the upper end (10) and the lower
end (11), are connected to the upper and the lower end of the sliding box respectively
(drawings 3 and 8).
[0058] Each time the user pulls the sliding box (14) in order to unroll the screen, at the
same time he pulls the articulated guides (2 & 3) out of the restraint box. Then,
the strap (4) on which the articulated guides have their end fixed, revolves and allows
the articulated guides to move vertically, in a position parallel to each other inside
the restraint box (1), with a direction opposite to each other, to get out of the
restraint box one from the top and the other from the bottom and thus the screen to
be unrolled (17). On the contrary, each time the user pusses the sliding box (14)
back to its original position in order to wind up the screen (screen's folding), he
pusses at the same time the articulated guides inside the restraint box. Then, the
strap revolves from the opposite side this time and leads the articulated guides (2
& 3) inside the restraint box (1) in their original vertical position until the one's
end, which is fixed on the strap (4) and moves along with it, reaches and leans on
the height regulator accessory (8). Then, the screen has also returned to its original
position, it is in other words rolled/wound up.
[0059] The sliding termination of the lower articulated guide (3), when it reaches the accessory
(8), stabilises the strap (4) and thus it leads to the sliding termination also of
the upper articulated guide (2) which is connected with the other side of the strap.
[0060] Both in starting position (fig. 4a and 9a) and in the middle of the way (fig. 4b
and 10a) and in their termination (fig. 4c and 11a), the part of the guides that is
inside the box is always vertical and parallel to the box walls and to the two sides
of the strap (4) and thus the noise is obliterated.
[0061] The invention applies to all anti-mosquito screens that have a stretched (17) or
a pleated screen (18).
[0062] When it is used in mosquito screen with a stretched screen (no 17, drawing 1), it
is placed inside the restraint box (1).
[0063] When it is used in mosquito screen with a pleated screen (no 18, drawings 2 and 8),
it is placed either inside the restraint box (1) or inside the sliding box (14, figure
11a). It can also be placed at the same time in both boxes (1 and 14, figure 12) and
from both sides of the screen, giving thus the possibility to the invention to cover
a double door opening (drawing 12a), when the screen is pleated (18).
[0064] In the present invention, the entire mechanism of the mosquito screen stops quite
below than in the today's state of the art. The existence of the accessory (8) makes
the internal mechanism of the mosquito screen independent from the height of the box
in which it lies. Thus, the user can get three pre-manufactured kits of the present
invention of the same height and afterwards he can adjust it to three openings of
different height (drawing 13).
[0065] The user counts the exact measurements in the placement room, he cuts (drawing 14)
the two boxes, the restraint (1) and the sliding (14) ones and the screen in the exact
measurements, as well as the lateral guide.
[0066] The user has latitudes to count exactly over the point that the stabilization accessory
(8) of the strap's (4) height is (minimum), till 60mm approximately over the accessory
(8) (maximum) (drawing 13). He can cut the boxes, restraint (1) and sliding ones (14)
with the screen, at any point of that distance between minimum and maximum, in the
proper measurements in the placement room.
[0067] Afterwards, he mounts on the spot the roll-up spring (21, drawings 15 and 16) of
the stretched screen (17) and the lateral opening of the restraint box profile (1).
What follows are the placement of the upper articulated guide (2) and the upper lateral
plastic cover (cap) (22) of the restraint guide (drawing 16). Finally, the profile
of the restraint box (1) is replaced (drawing 17) and the system is ready to be placed
at the opening of the frame.
[0068] The stabilization accessory of the strap's height (8) can be connected to the upper
pulley (5), as the figures illustrate, but in the same way it can also be connected
to the lower pulley (6, drawing 18). When the accessory (8) is connected with the
upper pulley (5), the articulated guide that enters from the bottom terminates on
the accessory, whereas when the accessory (8) is connected with the lower pulley (6),
on the accessory terminates the articulated guide that enters from the top. That holds
true when the accessory is placed either in the internal section (17, drawing 4) of
the box or in the external section (18, drawing 18). Finally, the application of the
invention is also suitable with a second stabilisation accessory (8, drawing 19) of
the strap's height, when the second accessory lies in the other implied section and
not in the same with the first accessory and when the second accessory is connected
to the opposite pulley and not to the same with which the first accessory is connected.

pulleys which is
characterized by the fact that it consists of a unified section inside the restrained box (1) or inside
the sliding box (14), in which is placed:
i) a strap (4) that crosses over the box longwise (1 or 14), in the middle of it and
in a position parallel to the walls, creating on each of its side (4) two implied
parallel sections, of a parallelogram form, the internal (19) section and the external
(20) section,
ii) a stabilization accessory of the strap's (4) height (8) fixed with one of its
end on the pulley (5 or 6) and with the other end onto the internal wall of the box
(1 or 14) vertical to it,
iii) two articulated guides, the upper (2) and the lower (3) which, when lie inside
the box (1 or 14), are in vertical position, parallel to each other, to the strap's
sides (4) and to the walls of the box (1 or 14) inside of which they lie.
iv) means that fix the "back" of the first joint (12) of an articulated guide (2 or
3) on a point of strap's circumference (4) lying next to the one pulley (6),
v) an additional accessory (7) that connects the first joint (12) of the other articulated
guide (2 or 3) with a diametrically opposite point of the strap's circumference (4).
2. Anti-mosquito screen system according to Claim 1 which is characterized by the fact that the stabilization accessory of the strap's height (8) can be placed
either at the internal (19) or the external (20) section of the box (1 or 14) and
by the fact that when the stabilization accessory of the strap's (4) height (8) is
connected to the upper (5) pulley of the internal (19) or the external (20) section,
terminates on the accessory the articulated guide (3) that enters from the bottom
side of the box, whereas in the contrary, when the accessory (8) is connected to the
lower pulley (6), terminates on the accessory the articulated guide (2) that enters
from the top side of the box.
3. Anti-mosquito screen system according to Claims 1 and 2 which is characterized by the fact that the system can provide a second stabilization accessory of the strap's
(4) height (8) lying in the opposite section (19 or 20) than the first accessory (8)
and connected to the opposite pulley (5 or 6) than the first accessory (8).
4. Anti-mosquito screen system according to Claims 1 to 3 which is characterized by the fact that the stabilization accessory of the strap's (4) height (8) has always
a length bigger than the height of the articulated guide (2 or 3) that terminates
on it.
5. Anti-mosquito screen system according to Claims 1 to 4 which is characterized by the fact that the additional accessory (7) that connects the first joint (12) of
the articulated guide (2 or 3) with the strap (4) has a length at least equal to the
distance between the internal "surface" of the joint of the articulated guide (2)
and the strap, so that the movement of the guide, driven by the strap, does not affect
the straight, vertical movement of the strap (4).
6. Anti-mosquito screen system according to Claims 1 to 4 which is characterized by the fact that the accessory (8) enters the restraint box (1) in a "sliding" way and
moves longwise inside the grooves (16) of the box (1 or 14) until it is fixed by two
screws (15), on the point that the height of the strap (4) is desired to be.
7. Anti-mosquito screen system according to Claims 1 to 6 which is characterized by the fact that in mosquito screens with a stretched screen, the system is placed inside
the restraint box (1), whereas in mosquito screens with a pleated screen, the system
is placed inside the restraint box (1) or alternatively inside the sliding box (14)
or at the same time two systems inside the restraint box (1) and also inside the sliding
box (14) covering thus a double opening.
8. Anti-mosquito screen system according to Claims 1 to 7 which is characterized by the fact that, apart from the back of the first joint (12) of the articulated guide
(2 or 3), the second joint of the guide (3) can also be connected to the strap (4)
