Description

La présente invention est relative à un dispositif d'étanchéité à actionnement automatique pour fermetures de bâtiments, notamment portes et fenêtres.The present invention relates to an automatically actuated sealing device for building closings, in particular doors and windows.

Le dispositif selon l'invention est plus précisément du type constitué d'un profilé comportant un élément d'étanchéité allongé susceptible d'être déplacé par pivotement ou par translation verticale entre une position escamotée et une position d'étanchéité en saillie sous l'effet d'un organe d'actionnement logé dans une gorge du profilé.The device according to the invention is more precisely of the type consisting of a profile comprising an elongated sealing element capable of being displaced by pivoting or by vertical translation between a retracted position and a sealing position projecting under the effect an actuating member housed in a groove of the profile.

Le dispositif selon l'invention peut constituer une plinthe automatique, auquel cas le profilé est destiné à être fixé sur un panneau, notamment de porte, mobile dans une huisserie, ou un seuil automatique, auquel cas le profilé est logé dans une rainure ménagée dans le seuil. Le dispositif selon l'invention peut également être monté sur une partie d'encadrement d'huisserie le-Long d'un montant vertical d'huisserie ou de la traverse horizontale supérieure.The device according to the invention can constitute an automatic plinth, in which case the profile is intended to be fixed on a panel, in particular of a door, movable in a frame, or an automatic threshold, in which case the profile is housed in a groove formed in the threshold. The device according to the invention can also be mounted on a frame part along the length of a vertical frame upright or of the upper horizontal cross-member.

Des plinthes automatiques utilisant le principe décrit ci-dessus sont par exemple décrites dans les brevets français des déposants N° 76.20773 (FR-A N° 2357718) et N° 77.12517 (FR-A N° 2388978) ainsi que dans leur certificat d'addition N° 79.12424 (FR-A N° 2456826).Automatic plinths using the principle described above are for example described in the French patents of the applicants N ° 76.20773 (FR-A N ° 2357718) and N ° 77.12517 (FR-A N ° 2388978) as well as in their certificate of addition N ° 79.12424 (FR-A N ° 2456826).

Les plinthes décrites dans ces documents comportent un profité qui peut être fixé sur une face d'un panneau ou être logé en feuillure dans une rainure ménagée dans le champ inférieur du panneau.The plinths described in these documents include a profit which can be fixed on one face of a panel or be housed in rebate in a groove made in the lower field of the panel.

On connaît par alleurs d'autres types de dispositifs d'étanchéité utilisant un élément d'étanchéité mobile, en translation verticale ou par pivotement et comportant un joint d'étanchéité à plusieurs branches dont une est solidaire de l'élément d'étanchéité et une autre du profilé logeant l'élément d'étanchéité. Un dispositif de ce type est décrit dans la demande de brevet allemand N° 2815244.Other types of sealing devices are known by alleurs using a mobile sealing element, in vertical translation or by pivoting and comprising a sealing joint with several branches, one of which is integral with the sealing element and one other of the profile housing the sealing element. A device of this type is described in German patent application No. 2815244.

Les dispositifs d'étanchéité connus présentent des inconvénients en cas d'utilisation dans des conditions climatiques rigoureuses par suite no- tammentdufait qu'en position defonctionnement de l'organe d'étanchéité, l'organe d'actionnement et l'élément d'étanchéité mobile ne sont pas isolés vis-à-vis de l'extérieur de sorte que leur fonctionnement risque d'être affecté par des phénomènes, tels que le gel par suite de condensation, liés à des facteurs climatiques tels que le froid intense.Known sealing devices have drawbacks when used in harsh climatic conditions as a result in particular that in the operating position of the sealing member, the actuating member and the sealing member mobile are not isolated from the outside so that their operation may be affected by phenomena, such as freezing due to condensation, linked to climatic factors such as intense cold.

La présente invention vise précisément à réaliser un dispositif d'étanchéité de très faible encombrement permettant un fonctionnement sûr même dans des conditions climatiques particulièrement défavorables. Le dispositif d'étanchéité selon l'invention se caractérise essentiellement par le fait qu'il comprend trois branches s'étendant à partir d'une zone de croisement formant articulation, l'une des branches étant destinée à réaliser le contact d'étanchéité, fa seconde branche étant solidaire de l'élément d'étanchéité en étant fixée dans une fente de celui-ci et la troisième branche comportant des moyens pour sa fixation sur le profilé ou une rainure logeant celui-ci, lesdites première et troisième branches étant disposées de façon à former une barrière de séparation dans la position d'étanchéité, entre la gorge logeant l'élément d'étanchéité et le milieu ambiant extérieur audit panneau mobile.The present invention aims precisely to produce a sealing device of very small size allowing safe operation even in particularly unfavorable climatic conditions. The sealing device according to the invention is essentially characterized by the fact that it comprises three branches extending from a crossing zone forming a joint, one of the branches being intended to make the sealing contact, fa second branch being integral with the sealing element by being fixed in a slot thereof and the third branch comprising means for fixing it to the profile or a groove housing the latter, said first and third branches being arranged so as to form a separation barrier in the sealing position, between the groove housing the sealing element and the ambient environment external to said movable panel.

La troisième branche du joint est avantageusement montée entre la face externe d'une aile du profilé et la paroi de la rainure logeant le profilé, ou entre une aile du profilé et un profil supplémentaire, solidaire ou non du profilé logé dans ladite rainure, avec un espacement par rapport au profilé pour le logement de ladite branche du joint, ladite branche étant alors fixée sur l'aile du profilé et/ou sur la face en regard de la rainure ou du profil.The third branch of the joint is advantageously mounted between the external face of a wing of the profile and the wall of the groove housing the profile, or between a wing of the profile and an additional profile, whether or not integral with the profile housed in said groove, with a spacing relative to the profile for housing said branch of the joint, said branch then being fixed on the wing of the profile and / or on the opposite face of the groove or profile.

La paroi de la rainure ou celle du profil, en regard de ladite troisième branche du joint d'étanchéité, comporte avantageusement des moyens d'engagement, par exemple un crantage, pour assurer la retenue de la branche du joint.The wall of the groove or that of the profile, opposite said third branch of the seal, advantageously comprises engagement means, for example a notch, to ensure the retention of the branch of the seal.

Dans le but de mieux faire comprendre l'invention, on va maintenant décrire à titre d'exemple en aucune manière limitatif un mode de réalisation se référant au dessin annexé dans lequel:

  • - la figi. 1 est une vue en coupe d'un dispositif selon l'invention illustré sous la forme d'une plinthe montée en feuillure sur un panneau, l,élément d'étanchéité et le joint d'étanchéité étant illustrés selon deux positions de fonctionnement,
  • ― la fïg.2 est une vueanalague à celle de la fig.1 d'un second mode de réalisation,
  • ― la fig.3 est une vue analague à celle de la fig.1 d'un troisième mode de réalisation, et
  • ― la fïg.4 est une vue analogue à celle de la fig.1 d'un quatrième mode de réalisation.
In order to better understand the invention, an embodiment will now be described by way of example in no way limiting, referring to the appended drawing in which:
  • - figi. 1 is a sectional view of a device according to the invention illustrated in the form of a plinth mounted in rebate on a panel, the sealing element and the sealing joint being illustrated in two operating positions,
  • FIG. 2 is a view similar to that of FIG. 1 of a second embodiment,
  • FIG. 3 is a view analogous to that of FIG. 1 of a third embodiment, and
  • - Fig.4 is a view similar to that of Fig.1 of a fourth embodiment.

La plinthe du mode de réalisation représenté est similaire en ce qui concerne sa structure et son fonctionnement à celle décrite dans le certificat d'addition N° 79.12424 (FR-A N° 2456826) des déposants.The plinth of the embodiment shown is similar with regard to its structure and operation to that described in the certificate of addition No. 79.12424 (FR-A No. 2456826) of the applicants.

Elle est constituée par un profilé 1. présentant en section la forme générale d'un U, ce profilé étant fixé dans une rainure de section sensiblement rectangulaire 2 ménagée dans le champ inférieur d'un panneau mobile tel qu'une porte 2, la rainure ayant une largeur notablement inférieure à l'épaisseur du panneau.It consists of a profile 1 . having in section the general shape of a U, this profile being fixed in a groove of substantially rectangular section 2 formed in the lower field of a movable panel such as a door 2, the groove having a width significantly less than the panel thickness.

Selon l'invention, la rainure 2 présente des dimensions supérieures à celles normalement nécessaires pour loger le profilé 1 pour permettre le logement d'une branche du joint d'étanchéité comme cela sera expliqué par la suite.According to the invention, the groove 2 has dimensions greater than those normally necessary to accommodate the profile 1 to allow the housing of a branch of the seal as will be explained later.

Selon l'invention, il est prévu dans la rainure un profil en forme de L 4 dont une aile 4a occupe le fond de la rainure et l'aile perpendiculaire 4b présente des parois crantées 5.According to the invention, an L-shaped profile 4 is provided in the groove, one wing 4a occupying the bottom of the groove and the perpendicular wing 4b has notched walls 5.

Dans le modede réalisation représenté, le profilé 1 est fixé par un adhésif 6 à sa partie supérieure contre l'aile 4a du profil 4 logée dans le fond de la rainure 2.In the embodiment shown, the profile 1 is fixed by an adhesive 6 at its upper part against the wing 4a of the profile 4 housed in the bottom of the groove 2.

Le profilé 1 comporte une gorge interne 7 présentant une section en forme d'auge à parois latérales sensiblement parallèles 8 et 9, gorge dans laquelle est logé un organe d'actionnement 10 qui peut avantageusement être du type de celui décrit dans le certificat d'addition N° 79.12424.Profile 1 has an internal groove 7 having a trough-shaped section with substantially parallel side walls 8 and 9, a groove in which is housed an actuating member 10 which can advantageously be of the type described in addition certificate No. 79.12424.

La structure et le fonctionnement d'un tel organe d'actionnement étant décrits dans le certificat d'addition mentionné, il n'est pas nécessaire d'y revenir plus en détail dans la présente demande.The structure and operation of such an actuator being described in the mentioned addition certificate, it is not necessary to return to it in more detail in the present application.

Cet organe d'actionnement est agencé pour provoquer le pivotement d'un élément d'étanchéité de forme coudée 11, entre une position escamotée représentée en trait plein correspondant à l'ouverture du panneau et une position en trait interrompu correspondant à la fermeture de celui-ci. L'élément d'étanchéité 11 présente une extrémité de section sensiblement circulaire 12 s'engageant dans une gorge 13, de section également sensiblement semi-circulaire, du profilé 1.This actuating member is arranged to cause the pivoting of a bent sealing element 11, between a retracted position shown in solid lines corresponding to the opening of the panel and a position in broken lines corresponding to the closing of that -this. The sealing element 11 has an end of substantially circular section 12 engaging in a groove 13, also of substantially semi-circular section, of the profile 1.

Des moyens de rappel (non représentés) sont prévus pour ramener l'élément d'étanchéité en position escamotée lors de l'ouverture du panneau.Return means (not shown) are provided to return the sealing element to the retracted position when the panel is opened.

Le joint d'étanchéité selon l'invention, désigné globalement par 14, comporte à partir d'une zone de croisement 15, formant articulation, une première branche 16 mobile entre une position représentée en trait plein dans le dessin en appui contre le champ inférieur du panneau et une position représentée en trait interrompu réalisant le contact d'étanchéité avec le sol en position de fonctionnement de la plinthe.The seal according to the invention, generally designated by 14, comprises, from a crossing zone 15, forming a joint, a first branch 16 movable between a position shown in solid lines in the drawing bearing against the lower field of the panel and a position shown in broken lines making the sealing contact with the ground in the plinth operating position.

Le joint 14 comporte une seconde branche 17, logée dans une fente de l'élément d'étanchéité 11 dans l'extrémité coudée de celui-ci opposée à celle s'engageant dans la gorge 13.The seal 14 comprises a second branch 17, housed in a slot of the sealing element 11 in the bent end of the latter opposite to that engaging in the groove 13.

Enfin, le joint comporte une troisième branche 18 engagée et immobilisée entre les parois en regard de l'aile 4b du profil 4 et la paroi extérieure correspondante du profilé 1.Finally, the joint comprises a third branch 18 engaged and immobilized between the walls opposite the wing 4b of the profile 4 and the corresponding outer wall of the profile 1.

Comme l'on s'en rend compte à l'examen du dessin, le joint d'étanchéité comporte ainsi en plus de la zone d'articulation 15, une seconde zone d'articulation 19 sensiblement au niveau du champ du panneau, cette double articulation offrant l'avantage qu'en position escamotée le dispositif ne fait que faiblement saillie du profilé dans lequel il est monté.As will be seen on examining the drawing, the seal thus comprises, in addition to the articulation zone 15, a second articulation zone 19 substantially at the level of the panel field, this double articulation offering the advantage that in the retracted position the device only protrudes slightly from the profile in which it is mounted.

Comme on le voitsur la fig. 1, grâce à sa conception et sa disposition, le joint d'étanchéité, aussi bien en position escamotée, représentée en trait plein qu'en position de fonctionnement de la plinthe, représentée en trait interrompu, constitue une barrière de séparation entre la gorge 7 logeant l'organe d'actionnement 10 et la gorge 13 logeant l'élément d'étanchéité avec le milieu ambiant extérieur au panneau, c'est-à-dire vis-à-vis de la gauche dans la fig. 1.As seen in fig. 1, thanks to its design and arrangement, the seal, both in the retracted position, shown in solid lines and in the operating position of the plinth, shown in broken lines, constitutes a separation barrier between the groove 7 housing the actuating member 10 and the groove 13 housing the sealing element with the ambient environment external to the panel, that is to say with respect to the left in FIG. 1.

Le joint selon l'invention est avantageusement constitué d'une bande souple, par exemple en un matériau composite formé d'un tissu de verre enduit d'élastomère silicone ou en élastomère polyuréthanne ou silicone, la bande présentant une épaisseur faible de l'ordre de quelques dixièmes de millimètre. Les branches 16 et 17 présentent par exemple une épaisseur d'environ 3/1 Oe à 7/1 Oe de millimètre et la branche 18 une épaisseur de 1 mm.The seal according to the invention advantageously consists of a flexible strip, for example of a composite material formed of a glass fabric coated with silicone elastomer or in polyurethane or silicone elastomer, the strip having a thickness of around a few tenths of a millimeter. The branches 16 and 17 have for example a thickness of approximately 3/1 Oe to 7/1 O e of a millimeter and the branch 18 a thickness of 1 mm.

Le dispositif d'étanchéité illustré à la fig. 2 se distingue essentiellement de celui illustré à la fig. 1 par le fait que le profilé 1' comporte une première aile 20 et une seconde aile 21 sensiblement parallèle à la première, l'aile 21 ayant une fonction comparable à l'aile 4b du profil 4 de la fig. 1 et étant munie d'un crantage coopérant avec la branche 18 du joint.The sealing device illustrated in fig. 2 is essentially distinguished from that illustrated in FIG. 1 by the fact that the profile 1 'has a first wing 20 and a second wing 21 substantially parallel to the first, the wing 21 having a function comparable to the wing 4b of the profile 4 of FIG. 1 and being provided with a notch cooperating with the branch 18 of the joint.

Le joint 14 illustré dans ce second mode de réalisation présente ainsi la même structure que le joint du mode de réalisation de la fig. 1.The seal 14 illustrated in this second embodiment thus has the same structure as the seal of the embodiment of FIG. 1.

Dans le mode de réalisation de la fig. 3 le joint, désigné globalement par 14', comporte deux branches 15 et 16 présentant les mêmes caractéristiques que les branches 15 et 16 des modes de réalisation précédents, mais par contre la troisième branche 18' réalisée en matière plus rigide que les autres branches est fixée par un crantage sur l'aile 20' du profilé 1 ". De plus la branche 18' comporte, de préférence au voisinage de son extrémité, et faisant saillie vers le côté opposé à celui fixé sur la branche 20', une languette souple 22 susceptible de venir en appui contre la paroi correspondante de la rainure.In the embodiment of FIG. 3 the joint, designated overall by 14 ′, comprises two branches 15 and 16 having the same characteristics as the branches 15 and 16 of the previous embodiments, but on the other hand the third branch 18 ′ made of a more rigid material than the other branches is fixed by a notch on the wing 20 'of the 1 "profile. In addition, the branch 18' comprises, preferably in the vicinity of its end, and projecting towards the side opposite to that fixed on the branch 20 ', a flexible tongue 22 capable of coming to bear against the corresponding wall of the groove.

Dans le mode de réalisation de la fig. 4 le joint d'étanchéité 14" comporte deux branches 16 et 17 analogues à celles des modes de réalisation précédents mais sa troisième branche 18" à laquelle est fixée en 23 l'extrémité de la branche 16 est en fait constituée par une pièce rigide, par exemple en aluminium, et comporte un crantage coopérant avec la paroi de la rainure, son autre face, droite, venant en appui contre la face extérieure de l'aile 20" du profilé 1 "'.In the embodiment of FIG. 4 the seal 14 "comprises two branches 16 and 17 similar to those of the previous embodiments but its third branch 18" to which is fixed at 23 the end of the branch 16 is in fact constituted by a rigid part, for example made of aluminum, and has a notch cooperating with the wall of the groove, its other face, straight, bearing against the outer face of the wing 20 "of the profile 1" '.

Les différents modes de réalisation présentés peuvent naturellement être également mis en oeuvre lorsque le dispositif selon l'invention est du type seuil automatique, la rainure logeant le profilé étant alors une rainure ménagée dans le seuil au lieu d'être réalisée en feuillure dans le panneau mobile.The various embodiments presented can naturally also be implemented when the device according to the invention is of the automatic threshold type, the groove housing the profile then being a groove made in the threshold instead of being made in rebate in the panel mobile.
