Abstract

This device for actuating a tip-up or sectional door comprises an elongated frame structure supporting a linearly movable member driven through a worm screw or a chain connected to the door to be driven, and secured at two upper points of which one is located at one end of the frame structure. This one end is secured to a fixed support formed with a vertical notch of which the bottom edge has a groove formed therein, the upper edge of this notch being limited by a surface located at a predetermined distance from the groove bottom. The frame structure comprises a support surface, for example in the form of a pin, and a locking surface, for example in the form of another pin, located at a distance from the first pin which corresponds to the predetermined distance. This frame structure can be fitted by a single person by anchoring the lower pin of the support and then raising the frame structure to a substantially horizontal position, so as to lock automatically the device in its operative position.

Description

La présente invention se rapporte à une installation d'actionnement de porte basculante ou sectionnelle com­prenant un dispositif d'actionnement inéaire compor­tant un bâti allongé et des moyens de fixation du bâti en deux points hauts dont l'un au moins est situé à une extrémité du bâti.The present invention relates to an installation for actuating a tilting or sectional door comprising a linear actuation device comprising an elongated frame and means for fixing the frame at two high points, at least one of which is located at one end of the built.

Un tel dispositif d'actionnement linéaire, également connu sous le nom d'opérateur, est généralement long, de l'ordre de 3 m pour ceux équipant les petites portes standard. Leur poids est de l'ordre de 15 kg, généra­lement concentré vers l'extrémité enveloppant le groupe motoréducteur entraînant une vis ou une chaîne et un élément mobile linéairement entraîné par la vis ou la chaîne et relié à la porte à entraîner. Ils sont pour ces raisons et par nature d'une manipulation peu aisée.Such a linear actuation device, also known by the name of operator, is generally long, of the order of 3 m for those equipping small standard doors. Their weight is of the order of 15 kg, generally concentrated towards the end enveloping the gearmotor group driving a screw or chain and a movable element linearly driven by the screw or chain and connected to the door to be driven. They are for these reasons and by nature of an uneasy handling.

On peut distinguer deux familles de dispositifs. Tout d'abord ceux décrits dans les brevets DE-29 14 572, BE 811 708, FR-2 512 485 et US-3 204 170, qui compor­tent deux éléments de même nature constitués de fers plats, cornières ou similaires soudés sensiblement à chaque extrémité de l'opérateur. Pour procéder à l'ins­tallation des opérateurs équipés d'un tel dispositif, il est nécessaire qu'ils soient préalablement amenés, soutenus et maintenus dans leur position de fixation, et fixés au moyen de vis, boulons ou similaires sur la structure qui doit les supporter. Ceci nécessite soit au moins une personne à chaque extrémité de l'opérateur disposant d'un moyen d'élévation pour amener et soute­nir l'opérateur et procéder à sa fixation, soit des moyens supports et élévateurs tels que vérins, échafau­ dages réglables pour soutenir et maintenir l'opérateur et au moins une personne pour procéder à cette fixation.We can distinguish two families of devices. First of all those described in the patents DE-29 14 572, BE 811 708, FR-2 512 485 and US-3 204 170, which comprise two elements of the same kind made up of flat irons, angles or the like welded substantially at each operator end. To install operators equipped with such a device, it is necessary that they be brought beforehand, supported and maintained in their fixing position, and fixed by means of screws, bolts or the like to the structure which must support. This requires either at least one person at each end of the operator who has lifting means to bring and support the operator and carry out its fixing, or support and lifting means such as jacks, scaffold adjustable cages to support and maintain the operator and at least one person to carry out this fixing.

La seconde famille est constituée de dispositifs plus perfectionnés tels que décrits dans les brevets : US 3 220 718, US 4 018 005, US 4 231 191, US 4 311 225, FR 2 493 451 et DE 29 04 718. Dans ces dispositifs l'un des deux éléments de fixation situés sensiblement à chaque extrémité de l'opérateur est constitué par une articulation. Pour procéder à l'installation des opé­rateurs équipés d'un tel dispositif il est possible, grâce à l'articulation, de procéder dans un premier temps à la fixation de l'extrémité articulée, puis dans un deuxième temps à la fixation de l'autre extrémité. Ceci nécessite soit au moins une personne disposant de moyens d'élévation pour amener et maintenir en place l'extrémité articulée et procéder à sa fixation au moyen d'un axe ou d'une goupille et au moins d'une deuxième personne pour supporter et guider l'autre extrémité qui sans cela serait amenée à glisser sur le sol, provoquant la détérioration des éléments fragiles du groupe motoréducteur enveloppés à cette extrémité, soit des moyens d'élévation pour amener et maintenir l'opérateur sensiblement à sa position de fixation et d'au moins une personne pour procéder à sa fixation.The second family consists of more sophisticated devices as described in the patents: US 3,220,718, US 4,018,005, US 4,231,191, US 4,311,225, FR 2,493,451 and DE 29 04,718. In these devices l 'one of the two fixing elements located substantially at each end of the operator is constituted by a hinge. To install operators equipped with such a device, it is possible, thanks to the articulation, to firstly fix the articulated end, then secondly to fix the other end. This requires either at least one person having lifting means to bring and hold in place the articulated end and to fix it by means of an axis or a pin and at least a second person to support and guide the other end which would otherwise cause it to slide on the ground, causing the deterioration of the fragile elements of the gearmotor group wrapped at this end, ie elevation means to bring and maintain the operator substantially in its fixing position and at least one person to fix it.

De manière générale, les dispositifs connus sont donc tels qu'ils ne permettent pas à un installateur isolé ne disposant pas de moyens complémentaires de main d'oeuvre ou de matériel, de procéder sans risque de détérioration sérieuse et sans danger à l'installation de l'opérateur. Par ailleurs, tous les dispositifs connus nécessitent l'usage de pièces complémentaires annexes telles que vis, axes, goupilles, qu'il convient de mettre en place alors que l'opérateur est encore en­tièrement soutenu par l'installateur, ce qui ajoute encore aux difficultés d'installation et au danger.In general, the known devices are therefore such that they do not allow an isolated installer who does not have additional means of labor or material, to proceed without the risk of serious deterioration and without danger to the installation of the operator. Furthermore, all known devices require the use of additional complementary parts such as screws, pins, pins, which should be to set up while the operator is still fully supported by the installer, which adds to installation difficulties and danger.

La présente invention a pour but de permettre la mise en place d'une installation d'actionnement de porte basculante ou sectionnelle, telle que définie plus haut, par une seule personne, à l'aide d'un outillage conventionnel, sans pièces annexes, sans risque de dé­térioration et sans danger.The aim of the present invention is to allow the installation of a tilting or sectional door actuation installation, as defined above, by a single person, using conventional tooling, without attached parts, without risk of deterioration and without danger.

A cet effet l'installation d'actionnement de porte bas­culante ou sectionnelle selon l'invention est caracté­risée en ce que les moyens de fixation du bâti situés à une extrémité du bâti sont constitués, d'une part, d'un support fixe, indépendant du bâti, présentant au moins un appui profilé et une partie située au-dessus de cet appui profilé à une distance déterminée de cet appui, mesurée verticalement, et, d'autre part, à l'extrémité du bâti, une surface d'appui profilée coopérant avec ledit appui profilé du support et de profil au moins approximativement conjugué au profil de l'appui du support et, au-dessus de ladite surface d'appui, une surface de verrouillage tournée vers le haut et située à une distance hors toute de ladite surface d'appui égale à la distance séparant ledit appui profilé de la partie située au-dessus de celui-ci, le tout de telle sorte que le bâti peut être tout d'abord accroché ver­ticalement ou obliquement dans le support par sa surfa­ce d'appui profilé, puis relevé en pivotant sur l'appui profilé du support pour être fixé en son second point de fixation, ladite surface de verrouillage du bâti venant s'engager sous ladite partie du support fixe et empêcher la surface d'appui du bâti de se dégager de l'appui du bâti.To this end, the tilting or sectional door actuating installation according to the invention is characterized in that the frame fixing means located at one end of the frame consist, on the one hand, of a fixed, independent support. of the frame, having at least one profiled support and a portion situated above this profiled support at a determined distance from this support, measured vertically, and, on the other hand, at the end of the frame, a support surface profile cooperating with said support profile support and profile at least approximately conjugate to the profile of the support support and, above said support surface, a locking surface turned upward and located at an overall distance of said support surface equal to the distance separating said profiled support from the part situated above it, the whole so that the frame can first of all be hung vertically or obliquely in the support by its surface profile support, then rele bolted by pivoting on the profiled support of the support to be fixed at its second fixing point, said locking surface of the frame coming to engage under said part of the fixed support and preventing the support surface of the frame from being released from the 'support of the frame.

Le dispositif d'actionnement linéaire selon l'invention peut être aisément mis en place, sans danger, par une seule personne. En effet, celle-ci peut aisément enga­ger l'extrémité du bâti munie de la surface d'appui sur l'appui profilé du support. Après cette opération, cette extrémité du bâti est accrochée et l'installa­teur peut soulever l'autre extrémité du bâti sans plus se préoccuper de la première extrémité qui vient se verrouiller automatiquement dans le support.The linear actuation device according to the invention can be easily installed, without danger, by a single person. Indeed, it can easily engage the end of the frame provided with the bearing surface on the profiled support of the support. After this operation, this end of the frame is hooked and the installer can lift the other end of the frame without worrying about the first end which is automatically locked in the support.

L'installation représentée partiellement aux figures 1 à 3 comprend un dispositif d'actionnement linéaire 1 comprenant un bâti tubulaire 2 de section rectangulaire dans lequel est monté un motoréducteur 3 représenté schématiquement, ce motoréducteur 3 entraînant une vis sans fin 4 sur laquelle est monté un écrou 5 muni d'un bras vertical 6 traversant la paroi inférieure du bâti 2 à travers une fente axiale 7 et auquel est articulé un bras non représenté relié à la porte basculante ou sectionnelle à commander, en particulier une porte de garage se déplaçant verticalement. Ce dispositif d'ac­tionnement linéaire est fixé d'une part à une paroi verticale 8 du garage, par exemple au-dessus de la porte, par l'intermédiaire d'un support 9 et, d'autre part, au plafond 10 au moyen d'une pièce de suspension profilée 11 présentant un profil en I, dont la base 12 est engagée dans la partie supérieure 13 d'un profil rectangulaire du bâti 2. La paroi supérieure du bâti 2 présente à cet effet une fente longitudinale 14 sur une partie de sa longueur pour l'introduction de la partie profilée 11.The installation partially shown in Figures 1 to 3 comprises a linear actuating device 1 comprising a tubular frame 2 of rectangular section in which is mounted a geared motor 3 shown diagrammatically, this geared motor 3 driving an endless screw 4 on which is mounted a nut 5 provided with a vertical arm 6 passing through the lower wall of the frame 2 through an axial slot 7 and to which is articulated an arm not shown connected to the tilting or sectional door to be controlled, in particular a garage door moving vertically. This linear actuation device is fixed on the one hand to a vertical wall 8 of the garage, for example above the door, by means of a support 9 and, on the other hand, to the ceiling 10 by means a profiled suspension part 11 having an I-shaped profile, the base 12 of which is engaged in the upper part 13 of a rectangular profile of the frame 2. The upper wall of the frame 2 has for this purpose a longitudinal slot 14 on a part of its length for the introduction of the profiled part 11.

Le support 9 est constitué d'une pièce métallique en U dont les deux ailes verticales 9a et 9b forment une double console. Il est fixé au mur au moyen de vis 15 et 16. Chacune des ailes 9a et 9b présente une découpe ouverte sur le côté et dont la partie inférieure est en forme de gorge semi-circulaire 17, tandis que le bord supérieur 18 de la découpe est en forme d'arc de cercle dont le centre coïncide avec le centre de cour­bure de la gorge 17. De son côté, l'extrémité corres­pondante du bâti 2 est muni de deux axes transversaux et parallèles 19 et 20 faisant saillie de part et d'autre du bâti 2 et dont la distance hors toute est égale ou au moins approximativement égale, par défaut à la distance entre le fond de la gorge 17 et le bord en arc de cercle 18 du support 9.The support 9 consists of a metal U-shaped piece, the two vertical wings 9a and 9b of which form a double console. It is fixed to the wall by means of screws 15 and 16. Each of the wings 9a and 9b has a cut open on the side and the lower part of which is in the shape of a semi-circular groove 17, while the upper edge 18 of the cut is in the form of an arc of a circle whose center coincides with the center of curvature of the groove 17. For its part, the corresponding end of the frame 2 is provided with two transverse and parallel axes 19 and 20 projecting from side and d other of the frame 2 and the overall distance of which is equal or at least approximately equal, by default the distance between the bottom of the groove 17 and the edge in an arc 18 of the support 9.

La gorge 17 constitue une butée d'appui pour la surface d'appui solidaire du bâti 2 constituée par chaque extrémité de l'axe 19. Quant à l'axe 20 il constitue une surface de verrouillage coopérant avec le bord en arc de cercle 18 du support contre lequel il vient bu­ter si l'on tente de soulever l'extrémité du bâti 2 pour la dégager de la gorge 17.The groove 17 constitutes a support stop for the support surface integral with the frame 2 constituted by each end of the axis 19. As for the axis 20 it constitutes a locking surface cooperating with the edge in an arc of a circle 18 of the support against which it abuts if an attempt is made to lift the end of the frame 2 to release it from the groove 17.

Pour la mise en place du dispositif on engage tout d'a­bord l'axe 19 du bâti dans les découpes du support 9 en tenant ce bâti verticalement ou obliquement. Les extrémités de l'axe 19, guidées par le fond oblique 27 des découpes, viennent alors s'engager automatiquement dans les gorges 17 dans lesquelles elles s'accrochent comme représenté en traits mixtes 2ʹ. Il suffit en­suite à l'installateur de soulever l'autre extrémité du bâti 2 en utilisant l'axe 19 comme pivot. A un certain moment l'axe 20 du bâti s'engage sous les bords 18 des découpes du support 9, verrouillant cette extrémité du bâti. L'installateur n'a alors plus à se préoccuper de cette extrémité et peut consacrer toute son attention à la fixation de la pièce de suspension 11.To install the device, first engage the axis 19 of the frame in the cutouts of the support 9 by holding this frame vertically or obliquely. The ends of the axis 19, guided by the oblique bottom 27 of the cutouts, then automatically engage in the grooves 17 in which they hang as shown in phantom 2ʹ. The installer then only has to lift the other end of the frame 2 using the pin 19 as a pivot. At a certain moment the axis 20 of the frame engages under the edges 18 of the cutouts of the support 9, locking this end of the frame. The installer no longer has to worry about this end and can devote all his attention to fixing the suspension part 11.

Dans la seconde forme d'exécution représentée aux figures 4 et 5, les découpes dans les ailes 9a et 9b du support 9 sont remplacées par deux axes cylindriques horizontaux et parallèles 21 et 22 reliant les deux ailes 9a et 9b, tandis que les axes 19 et 20 du bâti 2 sont remplacés par deux bras parallèles 23 et 24 s'étendant parallèlement aux ailes 9a et 9b entre ces ailes. Chacun de ces bras 23 et 24 présente, sur son bord inférieur une gorge semi-circulaire 25 de même rayon que l'axe 22 et un bord supérieur en arc de cercle 26, arc de cercle dont le centre coïncide avec le centre de l'axe 22. La distance verticale entre le fond de la gorge 25 et l'arc de cercle 26 est égale à la distance séparant les axes 21 et 22. L'axe 22 constitue un appui profilé pour la gorge 25, tandis que l'axe 21 constitue une surface de verrouillage pour les bords en arc de cercle 26 des bras 23 et 24.In the second embodiment shown in Figures 4 and 5, the cutouts in the wings 9a and 9b of the support 9 are replaced by two horizontal and parallel cylindrical axes 21 and 22 connecting the two wings 9a and 9b, while the axes 19 and 20 of the frame 2 are replaced by two parallel arms 23 and 24 extending parallel to the wings 9a and 9b between these wings. Each of these arms 23 and 24 has, on its lower edge a semi-circular groove 25 of the same radius as the axis 22 and an upper edge in an arc of a circle 26, an arc of a circle whose center coincides with the center of the axis 22. The vertical distance between the bottom of the groove 25 and the arc of a circle 26 is equal to the distance separating the axes 21 and 22. The axis 22 constitutes a profiled support for the groove 25, while the axis 21 constitutes a locking surface for the arcuate edges 26 of arms 23 and 24.

La mise en place du dispositif selon cette seconde forme d'exécution s'effectue comme pour la première forme d'exécution. Le bâti 2 est tenu en position très inclinée et on appuie les bras 23 et 24 sur l'axe 22 du support 9 de telle sorte que les gorges 25 s'engagent sur cet axe. En utilisant cet axe 22 comme point d'ap­pui et point de pivotement, on soulève ensuite l'autre extrémité du bâti 2. Lors de ce mouvement de pivote­ment, les bords supérieurs 26 des bras 23 et 24 s'engagent sous l'axe 21 en verrouillant la fixation. Le deuxième point de fixation du bâti 2 est réalisé comme représenté aux figures 1 et 2.The installation of the device according to this second embodiment is carried out as for the first embodiment. The frame 2 is held in a very inclined position and the arms 23 and 24 are supported on the axis 22 of the support 9 so that the grooves 25 engage on this axis. By using this axis 22 as a fulcrum and pivot point, the other end of the frame 2 is then raised. During this pivoting movement, the upper edges 26 of the arms 23 and 24 engage under the axis 21 by locking the fixing. The second attachment point of the frame 2 is produced as shown in FIGS. 1 and 2.

Le mode de fixation selon l'invention est susceptible de nombreuses variantes. En particulier, les découpes prévues dans le support 9, dans la première forme d'exécution pourraient être de toute autre forme, par exemple simplement rectangulaire. Les gorges et les axes ne doivent pas être nécessairement de section circulaire.The method of attachment according to the invention is susceptible of numerous variants. In particular, the cutouts provided in the support 9, in the first embodiment could be of any other shape, for example simply rectangular. The grooves and the axes need not be of circular section.

Selon une variante d'exécution de la première forme d'exécution, les axes 19 et 20 pourraient être rem­placés par un profil unique vertical, sous forme de nervure dont les extrémités seraient arrondies ou non. Le bord supérieur des découpes du support, en arc de cercle ou droit, pourrait être revêtu d'une partie élastique qui serait comprimée par l'axe 20. Dans ce cas la distance entre le fond de la gorge 17 et la surface élastique serait inférieure à la distance hors toute des axes 19 et 20, avant la mise en place du dis­positif, mais ces distances seraient exactement égales une fois le dispositif en place.According to an alternative embodiment of the first embodiment, the axes 19 and 20 could be replaced by a single vertical profile, in the form of a rib whose ends would be rounded or not. The upper edge of the cutouts of the support, in a circular or straight arc, could be coated with an elastic part which would be compressed by the axis 20. In this case the distance between the bottom of the groove 17 and the elastic surface would be less than the overall distance of the axes 19 and 20, before the installation of the device, but these distances would be exactly equal once the device in place.
