Definitions
- This invention relates to a barrier for sealing at least part of an opening, such as a bottom region of a door of a house against flooding from outside.
- the flood protection device comprises an inner water resistant core and an outer or peripheral inflatable flexible sealing tube.
- the inner core has a bottom and spaced apart ends which in use respectively extend generally parallel to a doorsill and
- the tube is water tightly attached to the inner core and extends along the ends and bottom thereof, so that, in use, the tube may be located in a narrow gap defined between the
- the tube is inflated, it is also in sealing contact with the sill and jambs and therefore forms a substantially watertight seal.
- the device is not adjustable in size and therefore only fits into a doorway of a specified size.
- Another disadvantage is that often the doorjambs are not parallel to one another and/or not perpendicular to the sill, and hence the device may not form a proper seal.
- the barrier comprising:
- a barrier body comprising a first body part and at least a second body part which is adjustable relative to the first body part, thereby to permit adjustment of the size of the barrier; and a sealing device disposed at least partially along a periphery of the
- barrier body for sealing a gap between the barrier body and the
- the external body may be a wall of a building and the opening may have mounted therein a door or a window.
- the first body part may be mounted intermediate the second body part and a similar third body part.
- the barrier body may be generally rectangular and the second and third parts may be slideable relative to
- the first part in line with a main or longitudinal axis of the barrier body.
- the barrier may further comprise means for securing the first body part to the second and third body parts respectively.
- the .securing means may further comprise means for securing the first body part to the second and third body parts respectively.
- the flexible part may permit pivotal movement of the second and/or third body parts relative to the first body part about an
- the sealing means may comprise a fluid inflatable flexible tube.
- the tube preferably extends along at least part of opposed ends of the barrier
- the tube may comprise at least one internal rigid tube in each corner
- the corner regions of the barrier body are preferably radiussed.
- the barrier may further comprise separate corner inserts each comprising a radiussed region complementary to the corner regions of the barrier body.
- the barrier body is hinged to a frame in the external body to slant away from the frame from a top side of the barrier body towards a bottom side thereof.
- the barrier body is slidably mounted in a frame in the external body between opposed guides on the frame.
- comer inserts may be integral with the guides.
- the invention further includes within its scope a barrier system as herein defined and described and a method of sealing an opening in an external
- figure 1 is a diagrammatic perspective view of a first embodiment of the barrier according to the invention
- figure 2 is a diagrammatic enlarged perspective view of a corner region of the barrier in figure 1
- figure 3 is an exploded perspective view of part of a bottom region of the barrier in figure 1 ;
- figure 4(a) is a diagrammatic eievational view of the barrier with an optional corner insert spaced from the barrier;
- figure 4(b) is a view similar to figure 4(a), but with the insert in
- figure 5 is a diagrammatic end view of the barrier of figure 1 when in position in a doorway
- figure 6(a) is a diagrammatic exploded perspective view of a second embodiment of the barrier according to the invention and a doorway;
- figure 6(b) is a diagrammatic perspective view of the barrier of figure
- figure 6 (a) partially in position in a doorway; and figure 6 (c) is a similar view with the barrier fully in position.
- opening defined in an external body such as a wall of a building is generally designated by the reference numeral 10 in figures 1 and 5.
- the wall is shown at 12 in figures 6(a) to (c) and the opening is designated 14.
- the barrier 10 comprises a barrier body 16 comprising a first body part 18 and a second body part 20, which is manlpulatable relative to the first body part, thereby to permit selective adjustment of the size of the body 1 6.
- a similar third body part 22 is similarly connected to the first body part.
- inflatable member 24 is provided along at least part of a periphery 26
- the first body part comprises a rectangular sheet 28 of a watertight
- the sheet is rigidly mounted
- a stepped formation 32 is provided along an opposite and operatively bottom side of the
- the third body part 22 comprises a core 41 mounted between opposed flanges 42 and 44 of sheet metal, plastic or any other suitable material.
- the flanges define a peripheral channel 46 between them
- the flanges are slidably mounted on the beam 30 and towards the opposite side, the core and channel are radiussed as shown at 48.
- the channel 46 receives the aforementioned sealing means 24.
- third body part further comprises a web 50 which is superimposed on
- the web 50 defines a plurality of
- the web terminates at a bottom region thereof in a stepped formation 54.
- a lug 56 standing proud from the formation and which defines a hole 58.
- the barrier further comprises an elongate stepped link element 60.
- element 60 comprises a body 62 and a lug 64 standing proud from the body 62 and defining a hole 66.
- the third body part 22 is mounted on the first part 18 with a bottom face of web 50 abutting on a top face of sheet 28. Suitable water sealing means (not shown) is provided between the faces.
- a threaded pin 71 (shown in figure 2) on sheet 28 extends through slot 52.n.
- a cooperating nut 72 is used to secure the two members to one another as will hereinafter be described.
- the third body part is further secured to the first body part by a flexible link 86 (shown in figures 3,4 ⁇ a) and 4(b)) comprising the aforementioned link element 60.
- Stepped body 62 of link element 60 is axially received underneath stepped formation 32 of first body part 18.
- Lugs 56 and 64 are brought into alignment and washer 68 is sandwiched between the lugs, so that the holes 58, 70 and 66 are in register.
- Threaded bolt 74 shown in figure 2
- a cooperating nut are used to secure the two lugs to one another.
- the sizes of the aforementioned holes are configured such that pivotal movement about an axis Y transverse to a longitudinal axis X of the barrier is allowed, as shown in figures 4(a) and 4(b).
- the sealing means 24 comprises a collapsible and inflatable tube.
- the tube 24 may be inflated by any suitable fluid which may be a gas or a liquid.
- the tube extends in channel 46 along at least part of both ends and also along the bottom region of the barrier body.
- a rigid hollow elbow formation 76 is provided on the inside of the tube to facilitate distribution of the fluid through the tube 24, while the tube is in a collapsed state.
- the barrier may also comprise
- insert is substantially complementary to that at 48 (shown in figure 2)
- the insert 77 is a removable fit in the channel 46.
- the size of the barrier body 1 6 is adjusted to suit a particular opening by moving the second and third body parts 20 and 22 in the directions A and B shown in figures 1 and 4(a) and 4(b) relative to the
- the aforementioned first embodiment of the barrier 10 is mounted in a doorway 90 as illustrated in figure 5.
- Securing pins 34 and 36 are positioned in suitable holes in the jambs 82 and 84 so that the body of the barrier slants away from the door 92 in a direction from a top thereof to a bottom thereof.
- the tube When the tube is inflated as hereinbefore described, the tube seals the region between the barrier body 10 and the sill and jambs.
- opposed slides 100 and 102 with integral corner inserts 104 which are similar to separate inserts 77, are secured to the door jambs 82 and 84.
- the barrier is
