Description

L'invention concerne un volet roulant pour fenêtre de toiture comprenant un tablier à déplacement pratiquement horizontal et formé de lames dont les extrémités latérales glissent dans des rails de guidage latéral situés dans le prolongement d'un caisson solidaire du cadre dormant du volet roulant et renfermant un arbre d'enroulement et/ou de déroulement du tablier et un arbre d'entraînement disposé en aval par rapport à l'arbre d'enroulement et/ou de déroulement et pourvu à chacune de ses extrémités latérales d'une roue à cames présentant une course à vide appropriée au pas variable séparant deux tétons de préhension de deux lames consécutives du tablier.The invention relates to a roller shutter for a roof window comprising an apron with practically horizontal displacement and formed of blades, the lateral ends of which slide in lateral guide rails located in the extension of a box secured to the sleeping frame of the rolling shutter and containing an apron winding and / or unwinding shaft and a drive shaft arranged downstream with respect to the winding and / or unwinding shaft and provided at each of its lateral ends with a cam wheel having an empty stroke appropriate to the variable pitch separating two gripping pins from two consecutive blades of the deck.

On connaît déjà, par le document EP-A-0 145 628, un volet roulant pour fenêtre de toiture comprenant un tablier à déplacement pratiquement horizontal et formé de lames dont les extrémités latérales glissent dans des rails de guidage latéral situés dans le prolongement d'un caisson solidaire du cadre dormant du volet roulant et renfermant un arbre d'enroulement et/ou de déroulement du tablier et un arbre d'entraînement disposé en aval par rapport à l'arbre d'enroulement et/ou de déroulement et pourvu à chacune de ses extrémités latérales d'une roue à cames présentant une course à vide appropriée au pas variable séparant deux tétons de préhension de deux lames consécutives du tablier.EP-A-0 145 628 already discloses a rolling shutter for a roof window comprising an apron with practically horizontal displacement and formed of blades whose lateral ends slide in lateral guide rails located in the extension of a box secured to the sleeping frame of the roller shutter and containing a winding and / or unwinding shaft of the deck and a drive shaft arranged downstream relative to the winding and / or unwinding shaft and provided with each of its lateral ends of a cam wheel having an idling stroke suitable for the variable pitch separating two gripping pins of two consecutive blades of the deck.

Le fond du caisson est relié aux rails de guidage par une rampe sur laquelle glissent les lames du tablier s'enroulant depuis le bas vers le haut sur l'arbre d'enroulement et/ou de déroulement, la génératrice de contact étant située à la partie inférieure de cet arbre.The bottom of the box is connected to the guide rails by a ramp on which slide the blades of the deck winding from the bottom up on the winding and / or unwinding shaft, the contact generator being located at the lower part of this tree.

Toutefois, ce volet roulant ne peut être utilisé pour les fenêtres de toiture comprenant un ouvrant basculant autour d'un axe horizontal. En effet, pour permettre l'enroulement du tablier, il est nécessaire de surélever par rapport aux rails de guidage l'axe central longitudinal de l'arbre d'enroulement, ce qui confère au caisson une hauteur relativement importante. Or, pour des raisons d'éclairage, les fenêtres de toiture ont un cadre dormant faisant saillie par rapport au dessus du recouvrement du toit qui constitue déjà un obstacle pour l'écoulement de l'eau et/ou de la neige. Ainsi, à cet obstacle on rajoute un second obstacle constitué par un caisson de hauteur relativement importante, ce qui augmente l'inconvénient de l'écoulement défectueux de l'eau et/ou de la neige.However, this roller shutter cannot be used for roof windows comprising an opening that swings around a horizontal axis. Indeed, to allow the winding of the deck, it is necessary to raise relative to the guide rails the longitudinal central axis of the winding shaft, which gives the box a relatively large height. However, for lighting reasons, the roof windows have a dormant frame projecting from the top of the roof covering which already constitutes an obstacle for the flow of water and / or snow. Thus, to this obstacle is added a second obstacle consisting of a box of relatively large height, which increases the disadvantage of the defective flow of water and / or snow.

Par ailleurs, lorsqu'un corps étranger tel que caillou ou analogue s'est déposé sur le dessus du tablier, il est entraîné en direction de l'arbre d'enroulement et vient s'intercaler entre les deux spires d'enroulement. De ce fait, le diamètre d'enroulement du tablier s'agrandit et le caisson devient trop petit. Soit le tablier se déchire, soit il y a bourrage et l'entraînement du tablier n'est plus assuré.Furthermore, when a foreign body such as a pebble or the like is deposited on the top of the deck, it is driven towards the winding shaft and is interposed between the two winding turns. As a result, the winding diameter of the deck increases and the box becomes too small. Either the apron tears, or there is jamming and the apron is no longer driven.

La présente invention a pour but de remédier à ces inconvénients. L'invention, telle qu'elle est caractérisée dans les revendications, résout le problème consistant à créer un volet roulant pour fenêtre de toiture comprenant, disposé au-delà du chant supérieur de la traverse supérieure du cadre dormant de la fenêtre de toiture, un caisson présentant un fond situé en dessous du dessus dudit cadre dormant et pivotant autour d'un axe de rotation, situé au coin inférieur de son extrémité supérieure et placé en amont de l'arbre d'enroulement et/ou de déroulement, et renfermant des moyens de guidage forcé, intercalés entre l'arbre d'enroulement et/ou de déroulement et l'arbre d'entraînement, impliquant au tablier, entre ces deux arbres, un inversement du sens d'enroulement du tablier sur l'arbre d'enroulement et/ou de déroulement, et un cadre dormant, relié par des pattes aux longerons du cadre dormant de la fenêtre de toiture et pourvu de moyens amortisseurs situés à l'extrémité inférieure des rails de guidage latéral.The present invention aims to remedy these drawbacks. The invention, as characterized in the claims, solves the problem of creating a rolling shutter for a roof window comprising, disposed beyond the upper edge of the upper cross member of the sleeping frame of the roof window, a box having a bottom located below the top of said sleeping frame and pivoting about an axis of rotation, located at the lower corner of its upper end and placed upstream of the winding and / or unwinding shaft, and containing forced guide means, interposed between the winding and / or unwinding shaft and the drive shaft, involving on the deck, between these two shafts, a reversal of the direction of winding of the deck on the shaft winding and / or unwinding, and a sleeping frame, connected by lugs to the side members of the sleeping frame of the roof window and provided with damping means located at the lower end of the lateral guide rails.

Les avantages obtenus grâce à cette invention consistent essentiellement en ce que l'on pourvoit la fenêtre de toiture d'un volet roulant dont la hauteur de la partie saillante du caisson par rapport au-dessus du cadre dormant de la fenêtre de toiture est diminuée. De ce fait, on évite une stagnation importante de l'eau et/ou de la neige au-dessus du bord supérieur de la fenêtre de toiture pourvue du volet roulant. Par ailleurs, les moyens amortisseurs équilibrant, soit le poids du volet roulant seul, soit la somme du poids de ce dernier et le poids du cadre ouvrant de la fenêtre permettent d'éviter un abaissement brutal notamment du volet roulant lors de la rotation autour de son axe d'articulation.The advantages obtained thanks to this invention essentially consist in providing the roof window with a rolling shutter whose height of the projecting part of the box relative to the top of the sleeping frame of the roof window is reduced. Therefore, a significant stagnation of water and / or snow is avoided above the upper edge of the roof window provided with the roller shutter. Furthermore, the damping means balancing either the weight of the roller shutter alone, or the sum of the weight of the latter and the weight of the window opening frame make it possible to avoid a sudden lowering, in particular of the roller shutter during rotation around its axis of articulation.

De plus, les corps étrangers, non dégagés par la brosse, ne s'intercalent plus entre les spires d'enroulement du tablier, de sorte que le diamètre d'enroulement de ce dernier reste constant. En effet, soit les corps étrangers entraînés à l'intérieur du caisson glissent vers l'arbre d'entraînement, soit en ayant atteint le point culminant du diamètre d'enroulement tombent à l'extrémité arrière du fond. Le cas échéant, ce fond peut comporter une ouverture permettant l'évacuation des corps étrangers.In addition, foreign bodies, not released by the brush, no longer become interposed between the winding turns of the apron, so that the winding diameter of the latter remains constant. In fact, either the foreign bodies entrained inside the box slide towards the drive shaft, or, having reached the highest point of the winding diameter, fall at the rear end of the bottom. If necessary, this bottom may include an opening allowing the evacuation of foreign bodies.

Un exemple de réalisation avantageux de l'invention prévoit que les moyens de guidage forcé comportent deux guides latéraux coopérant avec les extrémités latérales des lames du tablier pourvues des tétons de préhension.An advantageous embodiment of the invention provides that the forced guide means comprise two lateral guides cooperating with the lateral ends of the blades of the deck provided with the gripping pins.

Selon une autre caractéristique de l'invention, les guides latéraux comportent un secteur curviligne ascendant enrobant partiellement les roues à cames de l'arbre d'entraînement. Ceci permet d'augmenter l'engrènement entre les lames et les roues à cames.According to another characteristic of the invention, the lateral guides comprise an upward curvilinear sector partially coating the cam wheels of the drive shaft. This increases the engagement between the blades and the cam wheels.

Il en résulte un autre avantage important consistant en une augmentation de la force d'entraînement du tablier. De ce fait, il devient possible de conférer au tablier un déplacement non seulement selon un plan incliné mais également selon un plan vertical, les lames pouvant être disposées verticalement.This results in another important advantage consisting in an increase in the training force. apron. Therefore, it becomes possible to give the deck a movement not only along an inclined plane but also along a vertical plane, the blades can be arranged vertically.

Une autre application de l'invention est obtenue par une conception prévoyant que les tétons de préhension glissent sur une rampe de soutien des guides latéraux annihilant toute flexion des tétons de préhension.Another application of the invention is obtained by a design providing that the gripping pins slide on a support ramp of the lateral guides annihilating any bending of the gripping pins.

De ce fait, les tétons de préhension présentent une résistance pouvant être supérieure au couple du moteur de l'arbre d'entraînement. Ainsi, en cas d'incident de fonctionnement du tablier provoqué par un obstacle en amont ou en aval de l'arbre d'entraînement, les tétons de préhension provoquent le patinage du moteur et l'arrêt de l'arbre d'entraînement. Par voie de conséquence, le tablier reste immobile.Therefore, the gripping pins have a resistance which may be greater than the torque of the motor of the drive shaft. Thus, in the event of an apron operating incident caused by an obstacle upstream or downstream of the drive shaft, the gripping pins cause the motor to slip and the drive shaft to stop. As a result, the deck remains stationary.

L'invention est exposée ci-après plus en détail à l'aide de dessins représentant seulement un mode d'exécution.The invention is set out below in more detail with the aid of drawings representing only one embodiment.

On se réfère aux figures 1, 2 et 4.We refer to Figures 1, 2 and 4.

De nombreuses toitures sont pourvues d'une fenêtre 1 composée essentiellement d'un cadre dormant 2 et d'un ouvrant 76 basculant autour d'un axe de rotation horizontale 3. La présente invention concerne essentiellement les fenêtres de toiture faisant saillie par rapport au dessus 4 du recouvrement du toit.Many roofs are provided with a window 1 essentially composed of a sleeping frame 2 and an opening 76 tilting about an axis of horizontal rotation 3. The present invention essentially relates to roof windows projecting from the top 4 of the roof covering.

Conformément à l'invention, on pourvoit cette fenêtre de toiture 1 d'un volet roulant 5. Celui-ci se compose d'un cadre dormant 6 reposant sur le dessus 7 du cadre dormant 2 de la fenêtre 1 et d'un tablier 8 formé de lames parallèles 9, 10, 11. Les extrémités latérales 12 des lames 9, 10. 11 glissent dans des rails de guidage latéral 13 dont les extrémités inférieures (non représentées) sont reliées entre elles par une traverse servant d'arrêt au tablier 8. Les extrémités supérieures 14 de ces rails de guidage 13 aboutent à l'entrée 15 d'un caisson 16. Devant contenir le tablier enroulé 8, ledit caisson 16 présente nécessairement une hauteur 17 légèrement supérieure au diamètre d'enroulement 18 du tablier enroulé 8 pour avoir un espace libre pour le passage d'objets étrangers tels que feuilles, caillou ou autres qui auraient pu être entraînés à l'intérieur du caisson 16 malgré la présence d'une brosse 19 située à l'entrée 15 dudit caisson 16.According to the invention, this roof window 1 is provided with a rolling shutter 5. This consists of a sleeping frame 6 resting on top 7 of the sleeping frame 2 of the window 1 and an apron 8 formed of parallel blades 9, 10, 11. The lateral ends 12 of the blades 9, 10. 11 slide in lateral guide rails 13 whose lower ends (not shown) are interconnected by a cross member serving as a stop for the deck 8. The upper ends 14 of these guide rails 13 terminate at the inlet 15 of a box 16. Having to contain the rolled up apron 8, said box 16 necessarily has a height 17 slightly greater than the winding diameter 18 of the rolled up apron 8 to have a free space for the passage of foreign objects such as leaves, pebble or the like which could have been entrained inside the box 16 despite the presence of a brush 19 located at the entrance 15 of said box 16.

Cependant. il est souhaitable que le dépassement au-dessus du cadre dormant 2 de la fenêtre de toiture 1 soit le plus faible possible pour éviter une stagnation trop importante de l'eau et/ou de la neige située en amont du caisson 16. A cet effet, il est avantageux d'utiliser au moins partiellement la hauteur saillante 20 du cadre dormant 2 de la fenêtre de toiture 1. De ce fait, l'invention prévoit que le fond 21 soit situé en dessous du prolongement de l'aile inférieure 22 des rails de guidage latéral 13, et par voie de conséquence. en dessous du dessus 7 du cadre dormant 2 de la fenêtre 1. Par suite de cette construction particulière du caisson 16, celui-ci peut être placé au-delà du chant supérieur 23 de la traverse supérieure 24 du cadre dormant 2 de la fenêtre de toiture 1.However. it is desirable that the protrusion above the sleeping frame 2 of the roof window 1 is as low as possible to avoid excessive stagnation of the water and / or snow located upstream of the caisson 16. To this end , it is advantageous to use at least partially the projecting height 20 of the sleeping frame 2 of the roof window 1. Therefore, the invention provides that the bottom 21 is located below the extension of the lower wing 22 of the lateral guide rails 13, and consequently. below the top 7 of the sleeping frame 2 of the window 1. As a result of this particular construction of the box 16, it can be placed beyond the upper edge 23 of the upper crosspiece 24 of the sleeping frame 2 of the window roof 1.

Le caisson 16 comporte une paroi inférieure 25 située dans le prolongement de l'aile inférieure 22 des rails de guidage latéral 13 reliée au fond 21 par un pan incliné 26.The box 16 has a bottom wall 25 located in the extension of the bottom wing 22 of the lateral guide rails 13 connected to the bottom 21 by an inclined face 26.

Pour maintenir le volet roulant 5, on fixe sur les faces externes 27 des longerons 28 du cadré dormant 2 de la fenêtre de toiture 1 deux pattes 29 entre lesquelles est disposé le caisson 16. Ainsi, le volet roulant 5 est rendu solidaire du cadre dormant 2 de la fenêtre de toiture 1.To maintain the roller shutter 5, the longitudinal members 28 of the fixed frame 2 of the roof window 1 of the roof window 1 are fixed with two tabs 29 between which the box 16 is disposed. Thus, the roller shutter 5 is made integral with the sleeping frame 2 of the roof window 1.

Il est parfois souhaitable de relever le volet roulant 5. Il faut que celui-ci puisse basculer autour d'un axe de rotation 30 parallèle à l'axe de rotation 3 de l'ouvrant basculant. Selon l'invention, cet axe de rotation 30, servant également de liaison entre le caisson 16 et les pattes 29, est situé dans le coin inférieur 31 de l'extrémité supérieure 32 du caisson 16. Cette position particulière de l'axe de rotation 30 permet le relèvement et/ou le rabaissement du volet roulant 5.It is sometimes desirable to raise the roller shutter 5. It must be able to tilt around an axis of rotation 30 parallel to the axis of rotation 3 of the tilting opening. According to the invention, this axis of rotation 30, also serving as a connection between the box 16 and the legs 29, is located in the lower corner 31 of the upper end 32 of the box 16. This particular position of the axis of rotation 30 allows the rolling shutter 5 to be raised and / or lowered.

Selon un premier mode de réalisation, cet axe de rotation 30 est un axe d'articulation traversant de part en part le caisson 16 et dont les extrémités 33 sont logées dans des paliers 34 solidaires des pattes 29.According to a first embodiment, this axis of rotation 30 is a hinge axis passing right through the box 16 and the ends 33 of which are housed in bearings 34 integral with the lugs 29.

Selon un autre mode de réalisation, cet axe de rotation 30 est constitué de deux bouts d'axes faisant saillie vers l'extérieur par rapport aux parois latérales 35 du caisson 16 et s'engageant dans des paliers 34. Ainsi, la partie centrale située entre les deux parois latérales 35 serait libre de tout obstacle contre lequel pourrait buter le tablier 8.According to another embodiment, this axis of rotation 30 consists of two ends of axes projecting outwardly relative to the side walls 35 of the box 16 and engaging in bearings 34. Thus, the central part located between the two side walls 35 would be free of any obstacle against which the deck 8 could abut.

Les moyens utilisés pour l'enroulement et/ou le déroulement du tablier 8 sont les mêmes que ceux utilisés pour les volets roulants dont le tablier se déplace pratiquement horizontalement. Le caisson 16 renferme un arbre 36 d'enroulement et/ou de déroulement du tablier 8 et un arbre d'entraînement 37. Cet arbre d'entraînement 37 est parallèle à l'arbre d'enroulement 36 et il est situé en aval par rapport à ce dernier. Ledit arbre d'entraînement 37 est solidaire en rotation d'un moteur électrique (non représenté). Chaque extrémité latérale 38 de l'arbre d'entraînement 37 est pourvue d'une roue à cames 39 présentant, entre les différentes branches 40, 41, 42 formant étoile, une course à vide. Ces roues à cames 39 coopèrent, pour l'entraînement du tablier 8, avec des moyens de préhension formés par des tétons 43, 44. 45 faisant saillie par rapport aux extrémités latérales 12 des lames 9, 10, 11. Le tablier 8 passe sous l'arbre d'entraînement 37.The means used for winding and / or unwinding the deck 8 are the same as those used for the roller shutters whose deck moves almost horizontally. The box 16 contains a shaft 36 for winding and / or unwinding the deck 8 and a drive shaft 37. This drive shaft 37 is parallel to the winding shaft 36 and is located downstream with respect to to the latter. Said drive shaft 37 is integral in rotation with an electric motor (not shown). Each lateral end 38 of the drive shaft 37 is provided with a cam wheel 39 having, between the different branches 40, 41, 42 forming a star, an idle stroke. These cam wheels 39 cooperate, for driving the bulkhead 8, with gripping means formed by pins 43, 44. 45 projecting with respect to the lateral ends 12 of the blades 9, 10, 11. The apron 8 passes under the drive shaft 37.

Selon l'invention, il est prévu que le tablier 8 glissant le long de la paroi inférieure 25 du caisson 16 est relevé vers la paroi supérieure 46 du caisson 16 et s'enroule sur l'arbre d'enroulement et/ou de déroulement 36 du haut vers le bas. Ainsi, si des cailloux ont pu être entraînés à l'intérieur du caisson 16, soit ils glissent le long du dessus 47 du tablier 8, soit, s'ils ont dépassé le point culminant 48 du diamètre d'enroulement 18, ils glissent vers le fond 21. Le cas échéant, ce dernier peut comporter une ouverture permettant l'évacuation des corps étrangers, cette ouverture pouvant être constamment ouverte ou peut être obturée par un couvercle mobile. A cet effet, il est donc nécessaire que le tablier 8 passe sur l'arbre d'enroulement et/ou de déroulement 36 et de modifier le sens de déplacement du tablier 8 du fait que ce dernier passe sous l'arbre d'entraînement 37.According to the invention, provision is made for the deck 8 sliding along the bottom wall 25 of the box 16 to be raised towards the top wall 46 of the box 16 and is wound on the winding and / or unwinding shaft 36 from high to low. Thus, if stones have been able to be entrained inside the box 16, either they slide along the top 47 of the deck 8, or, if they have exceeded the highest point 48 of the winding diameter 18, they slide towards the bottom 21. If necessary, the latter may include an opening allowing the evacuation of foreign bodies, this opening being able to be constantly open or can be closed by a movable cover. To this end, it is therefore necessary for the deck 8 to pass over the winding and / or unwinding shaft 36 and to modify the direction of movement of the deck 8 because it passes under the drive shaft 37 .

A cet effet, l'invention prévoit des moyens de guidage forcé 49. Ces moyens de guidage forcé sont disposés entre l'arbre d'enroulement et/ou de déroulement 36 et l'arbre d'entraînement 37 et sont constitués de deux guides latéraux 50. Ces guides latéraux 50 comportent un segment droit 51 parallèle à la paroi inférieure 25 du caisson 16. Ce segment droit 51 aboute à un secteur curviligne ascendant 52. Ce dernier implique au tablier 8 un mouvement ascendant de sorte que ce dernier s'enroule partiellement autour des roues à cames 39. De ce fait, on met plusieurs tétons de préhension 43, 44, 45 en contact avec plusieurs branches 41, 42 des roues à cames 39, ce qui permet d'augmenter la force d'entraînement du tablier 8. Les différentes branches 40, 41, 42 des roues à cames 39, lors de la rotation de l'arbre d'entraînement 37, se déplacent à l'intérieur d'une rainure 53 réalisée dans les guides latéraux 50. Cette rainure 53 est située, dans le plan transversal des guides latéraux 50, entre une rampe de soutien 54 et une portée 55. Sur la rampe de soutien 54 glissent les tétons de préhension 43, 44, 45 alors que sur la portée 55 glisse le dessous 56 des lames 9, 10, 11.To this end, the invention provides for forced guide means 49. These forced guide means are arranged between the winding and / or unwinding shaft 36 and the drive shaft 37 and consist of two lateral guides. 50. These lateral guides 50 comprise a straight segment 51 parallel to the lower wall 25 of the box 16. This straight segment 51 leads to an ascending curvilinear sector 52. The latter involves in the deck 8 an upward movement so that the latter winds up partially around the cam wheels 39. As a result, several gripping pins 43, 44, 45 are brought into contact with several branches 41, 42 of the cam wheels 39, which makes it possible to increase the driving force of the bulkhead 8. The different branches 40, 41, 42 of the cam wheels 39, during the rotation of the drive shaft 37, move inside a groove 53 produced in the lateral guides 50. This groove 53 is located, in the transverse plane of the lateral guides 50, between a support ramp 54 and a bearing 55. On the support ramp 54 slide the gripping pins 43, 44, 45 while on the bearing 55 slides the underside 56 of the blades 9, 10, 11.

Du fait que les tétons de préhension 43, 44, 45 prennent appui sur la rampe de soutien 54, on annihile toute flexion des lames 9, 10, 11 et/ou des tétons de préhension 43, 44, 45 et on consolide la liaison entre ces derniers et les extrémités latérales 12 des lames 9, 10, 11.Because the gripping pins 43, 44, 45 bear on the support ramp 54, any flexion of the blades 9, 10, 11 and / or the gripping pins 43, 44, 45 is eliminated and the connection between is consolidated. these and the lateral ends 12 of the blades 9, 10, 11.

Pour assurer le contact entre la rampe de soutien 54 et les tétons de préhension 43, 44, 45 des lames 9. 10, 11, on prévoit sur l'arbre d'entraînement 37 des moyens presseurs 57. Selon un premier mode de réalisation, ces moyens pres- sèurs 57 sont une chemise élastique enfilée sur l'arbre d'entraînement 37, cette chemise élastique, solidaire en rotation de ce dernier, exerçant une pression sur le dessus 47 du tablier 8.To ensure contact between the support ramp 54 and the gripping pins 43, 44, 45 of the blades 9. 10, 11, pressure means 57 are provided on the drive shaft 37. According to a first embodiment, these pressing means 57 are an elastic jacket threaded onto the drive shaft 37, this elastic jacket, integral in rotation with the latter, exerting pressure on the top 47 of the deck 8.

Selon un second mode de réalisation, ces moyens presseurs 57 sont des flasques élastiques disposés aux extrémités latérales 38 de l'arbre d'entraînement 37, ces flasques, solidaires en rotation de l'arbre d'entraînement 37, peuvent être accolés aux roues à cames 39.According to a second embodiment, these pressing means 57 are elastic flanges disposed at the lateral ends 38 of the drive shaft 37, these flanges, integral in rotation with the drive shaft 37, can be attached to the wheels with cams 39.

En consolidant de la sorte les tétons de préhension 43, 44, 45, on augmente la résistance des tétons de préhension 43, 44, 45 à toute déformation.By consolidating the gripping pins 43, 44, 45 in this way, the resistance of the gripping pins 43, 44, 45 to any deformation is increased.

Avantageusement, cette résistance sera supérieure au couple du moteur électrique actionnant l'arbre d'entraînement 37. De ce fait, si le tablier 8 est bloqué pour une raison quelconque, ce blocage est transmis aux roues à cames 39 et, par voie de conséquence, à l'arbre d'entraînement 37 mais sans endommager le moteur électrique.Advantageously, this resistance will be greater than the torque of the electric motor actuating the drive shaft 37. As a result, if the bulkhead 8 is blocked for any reason, this blockage is transmitted to the cam wheels 39 and, consequently , to the drive shaft 37 but without damaging the electric motor.

Pour éviter qu'en phase de déroulement les différentes lames 9, 10, 11 ne viennent buter contre le chant 58 des guides latéraux 50, à savoir le chant 58 dirigé vers l'arbre d'enroulement et/ou de déroulement 36, on confère à la rampe de soutien 54 et à la portée 55 un arrondi d'attaque 59.To prevent the different blades 9, 10, 11 from coming into abutment phase against the edge 58 of the lateral guides 50, namely edge 58 directed towards the winding and / or unwinding shaft 36, it is given at the support ramp 54 and at the reach 55 a rounded attack 59.

Toutefois, pour éviter qu'après relèvement du volet roulant 5, ce dernier se rabat brutalement sur le cadre dormant 2 de la fenêtre de toiture 1, on pourvoit ledit volet roulant 5 de moyens amortisseurs 60. Ces derniers sont situés dans chaque extrémité inférieure 61 des rails de guidage 13 et ont pour but d'équilibrer et de compenser le poids du volet roulant 5 après rotation autour de l'axe de rotation 30. Ainsi, le volet roulant 5 conserve sa position conférée par l'usager. Pour rabaisser ledit volet roulant 5, il faut que l'usager exerce volontairement une traction.However, to avoid that after raising the roller shutter 5, the latter suddenly folds down on the sleeping frame 2 of the roof window 1, said roller shutter 5 is provided with damping means 60. These are located in each lower end 61 guide rails 13 and are intended to balance and compensate for the weight of the shutter 5 after rotation about the axis of rotation 30. Thus, the shutter 5 retains its position conferred by the user. To lower said rolling shutter 5, the user must voluntarily exert traction.

Ces moyens amortisseurs 60 sont constitués par un chariot 62 comportant des galets de roulement 63, 64 coulissant dans un logement 65 aménagé dans chaque extrémité inférieure 61 des deux rails de guidage 13. L'extrémité supérieure 66 des chariots 62 est solidaire de l'extrémité 67 d'un élément élastique 68 dont l'autre extrémité 69 est solidaire d'une butée 70 fixée aux rails de guidage 13. Ce chariot 62 comporte à son extrémité inférieure 71 un doigt de commande 72 coopérant avec un galet 73 pivotant autour d'un axe 74 solidaire de l'extrémité inférieure 75 de l'ouvrant basculant 76 de la fenêtre 1.These damping means 60 are constituted by a carriage 62 comprising rollers 63, 64 sliding in a housing 65 arranged in each lower end 61 of the two guide rails 13. The upper end 66 of the carriages 62 is integral with the end 67 of an elastic element 68, the other end 69 of which is integral with a stop 70 fixed to the guide rails 13. This carriage 62 has at its lower end 71 a control finger 72 cooperating with a roller 73 pivoting around an axis 74 secured to the lower end 75 of the tilting opening 76 of the window 1.

Lorsque le volet roulant 5 est en position rabattue et repose sur le cadre dormant 2 de la fenêtre de toiture 1, l'élément élastique 68 est sous tension. En relevant simultanément le volet roulant 5 et l'ouvrant basculant 76, la distance entre l'axe 74 du galet 73 et l'extrémité inférieure 61 des rails de guidage 13 a tendance a augmenter en raison de la différence des arcs de cercle 77, 78 décrits l'un par l'axe 74 par rapport à l'axe de rotation horizontale 3 de l'ouvrant basculant 76 et l'autre par l'extrémité inférieure 61 des rails de guidage 13 par rapport à l'axe de rotation 30. Du fait de l'action de l'élément élastique sous tension 68, le doigt de commande 72 reste en contact avec le galet 73 et le chariot 62 glisse en direction de la butée 70. Pendant ce trajet du chariot 62, la tension de l'élément élastique 68 diminue et celui-ci prend sa position de repos au fur et à mesure de l'ouverture.When the roller shutter 5 is in the folded position and rests on the sleeping frame 2 of the roof window 1, the elastic element 68 is under tension. By simultaneously raising the rolling shutter 5 and the tilting opening 76, the distance between the axis 74 of the roller 73 and the lower end 61 of the guide rails 13 tends to increase due to the difference in the arcs of the circle 77, 78 described one by the axis 74 relative to the horizontal axis of rotation 3 of the tilting opening 76 and the other by the lower end 61 of the guide rails 13 relative to the axis of rotation 30 Due to the action of the tensioned elastic element 68, the control finger 72 remains in contact with the roller 73 and the carriage 62 slides in the direction of the stop 70. During this course of the carriage 62, the tension of elastic element 68 decreases and it takes its rest position as it opens.

Inversement, en rabaissant l'ensemble, la galet 73 exerce une poussée sur le doigt de commande 72 et on remet sous tension l'élément élastique 68.Conversely, by lowering the assembly, the roller 73 pushes on the control finger 72 and the elastic element 68 is re-energized.

La force prévue de ce dernier peut être fonction du poids du volet roulant 5 pour équilibrer ce dernier, mais on peut également prévoir un élément élastique 68 ayant une force équilibrant non seulement le poids du volet roulant 5 mais également celui de l'ouvrant basculant 76.The expected force of the latter can be a function of the weight of the rolling shutter 5 to balance the latter, but one can also provide an elastic element 68 having a force balancing not only the weight of the rolling shutter 5 but also that of the tilting opening 76 .
