Description

L'invention a trait à un caisson de volet roulant formé par un coffre de forme parallélépipédique et servant de logement à un arbre d'entraînement sur lequel s'enroule et se déroule un tablier, cet arbre d'entraînement étant maintenu, à ses extrémités, par des joues latérales venant obturer ledit coffre.The invention relates to a roller shutter box formed by a box of rectangular shape and serving as a housing for a drive shaft on which an apron is wound and unwound, this drive shaft being held at its ends. , by side cheeks closing said trunk.

L'invention trouvera son application, plus particulièrement, dans l'industrie des volets roulants.The invention will find its application, more particularly, in the industry of roller shutters.

On connaît déjà un certain nombre de caissons pour volets roulants conformes à la description ci-dessus. Ainsi, ces caissons comportent un coffre de forme sensiblement parallélépipédique et constitué, en général, de deux panneaux ayant une section en forme d'équerre. L'un de ces panneaux forme, simultanément, la face avant et le dessus du coffre, l'autre panneau constituant, quant à lui, la face arrière et le dessous. Ce dernier présente, par ailleurs, une ouverture pour le passage du tablier du volet roulant.A number of boxes for roller shutters are already known, as described above. Thus, these boxes include a box of substantially parallelepiped shape and, in general, consisting of two panels having a section in the form of a square. One of these panels forms, simultaneously, the front face and the top of the trunk, the other panel constituting, meanwhile, the rear face and the bottom. The latter also has an opening for the passage of the roller shutter deck.

Ce coffre, habituellement disposé dans la partie supérieure d'une porte ou fenêtre, sert de logement à un arbre d'entraînement sur lequel et duquel s'enroule et se déroule un tablier. Le maintien de l'arbre d'entraînement est assuré par des joues latérales venant refermer ledit coffre sur ses côtés latéraux. Fréquemment, ces joues latérales comportent, en outre, des éléments de liaison coopérant avec les extrémités des rails de guidage verticaux dans lesquels sont amenées à se déplacer les extrémités latérales des lames constituant le tablier du volet roulant.This box, usually placed in the upper part of a door or window, serves as a housing for a drive shaft on which and from which a deck is rolled up and unrolled. The maintenance of the drive shaft is ensured by lateral cheeks closing said trunk on its lateral sides. Frequently, these side cheeks further comprise connecting elements cooperating with the ends of the vertical guide rails in which the lateral ends of the blades constituting the roller shutter deck are made to move.

Habituellement, le caisson de ce dernier renferme, également, des moyens moteurs coopérant avec l'arbre d'entraînement pour animer celui-ci d'un mouvement de rotation. Dans certains cas, ces moyens moteurs sont constitués par une poulie autour de laquelle s'enroule partiellement une sangle ou une chaîne permettant à l'usager d'actionner le volet roulant.Usually, the box of the latter also contains motor means cooperating with the drive shaft to animate the latter with a rotational movement. In some cases, these drive means are constituted by a pulley around which partially wraps a strap or chain allowing the user to operate the roller shutter.

Selon un autre mode de réalisation, les moyens moteurs sont un moteur électrique dont le fonctionnement commande le déploiement ou le repliement du tablier sans interventions manuelles de la part de l'usager.According to another embodiment, the motor means are an electric motor whose operation controls the deployment or the folding of the apron without manual intervention on the part of the user.

Le problème que posent ces caissons connus de volet roulant réside dans la complexité de gestion de la fabrication en raison de la multiplicité des pièces intervenant dans leur réalisation.The problem posed by these known roller shutter boxes lies in the complexity of manufacturing management due to the multiplicity of parts involved in their production.

En effet, on constate que les dimensions des joues latérales sont nécessairement dépendantes de celles de l'ensemble du caisson du volet roulant. De plus, leur morphologie est déterminée en fonction de leur utilisation droite ou gauche et du type d'arbre d'entraînement ou de moyens moteurs utilisés.Indeed, it can be seen that the dimensions of the lateral cheeks are necessarily dependent on those of the whole of the roller shutter box. In addition, their morphology is determined according to their right or left use and the type of drive shaft or motor means used.

Ainsi, dans le cadre de moyens moteurs manuels, par exemple d'une poulie, celle-ci est généralement engagée sur l'une des parties saillantes de l'arbre d'entraînement. Les extrémités de ce dernier sont, quant à elles, insérées dans des moyeux pourvus de roulement et solidaires des joues latérales. Il est fréquent de pourvoir les volets roulants, munis de tels moyens moteurs manuels, d'une boîte de compensation facilitant, grâce à des moyens élastiques, la manoeuvre du tablier, notamment lorsque le poids de ce dernier est important.Thus, in the context of manual drive means, for example a pulley, the latter is generally engaged on one of the projecting parts of the drive shaft. The ends of the latter are, for their part, inserted into hubs provided with bearings and integral with the lateral cheeks. It is common to provide roller shutters, provided with such manual drive means, a compensation box facilitating, using elastic means, the operation of the deck, especially when the weight of the latter is important.

Selon un autre mode de réalisation, on substitue à la poulie, un treuil actionné par une tringle ou équivalent. Cette solution impose de modifier les joues latérales en conséquence pour autoriser la mise en place de ce treuil.According to another embodiment, the pulley is replaced by a winch actuated by a rod or equivalent. This solution requires modifying the side cheeks accordingly to allow the installation of this winch.

Il est évident qu l'association d'un moteur électrique au volet roulant, engendre, également, des modifications de structure du caisson et, notamment, de ses joues latérales.It is obvious that the association of an electric motor with the rolling shutter, also generates modifications of structure of the box and, in particular, of its side cheeks.

La morphologie paticulière de ces joues latérales conditionne, en outre, le mode opératoire du montage du volet roulant.The specific morphology of these side cheeks conditions, moreover, the procedure for mounting the roller shutter.

Ainsi, selon une première méthode, le volet roulant est fixé, en une seule opération, au-dessus d'une porte, fenêtre ou analogue, soit dans un logement prévu à cet effet dans la maçonnerie, soit simplement en applique sur la face interne ou externe du mur. Cette solution ne s'adapte que dans des conditions particulières, par exemple, pour des volets roulants de taille réduite et rapportés, fréquemment, en applique sur le mur du bâtiment.Thus, according to a first method, the roller shutter is fixed, in a single operation, above a door, window or the like, either in a housing provided for this purpose in masonry, or simply applied to the internal face. or external of the wall. This solution is only suitable under special conditions, for example, for roller shutters of reduced size and reported, frequently, applied to the wall of the building.

La seconde méthode consiste à disposer, initialement, le caisson au-dessus de l'ouverture existante dans le mur puis à introduire dans ce caisson l'arbre d'entraînement muni des moyens moteurs appropriés et sur lequel est enroulé le tablier. Cette solution est la plus fréquemment adoptée en raison des nombreux avantages qu'elle procure, notamment sur le plan de la facilité du montage.The second method consists in placing, initially, the box above the existing opening in the wall and then introducing into this box the drive shaft provided with appropriate motor means and on which the deck is wound. This solution is the most frequently adopted because of the numerous advantages which it provides, in particular in terms of ease of assembly.

Toutefois, elle pose de nouveaux problèmes quant à la fabrication des joues latérales. En effet, la conception de ces dernières diffère selon que le montage du tablier, muni de son mécanisme d'entraînement, à l'intérieur du caisson s'effectue depuis la face avant, la face arrière, le dessous ou le dessus de ce dernier. Plus précisément, les moyens de fixation de l'arbre d'entraînement seront nécessairement adaptés à ce sens du montage.However, it poses new problems as to the manufacture of the side cheeks. Indeed, the design of the latter differs depending on whether the mounting of the deck, fitted with its drive mechanism, inside the box is carried out from the front face, the rear face, the bottom or the top of the latter. . More specifically, the means for fixing the drive shaft will necessarily be adapted to this direction of assembly.

Bien entendu, ces nombreuses conditions auxquelles doit satisfaire une joue latérale de volet roulant ont amené le fabricant à concevoir une multitude de modèles différents. Ceci a eu pour conséquence une augmentation non négligeable des pièces stockées et une gestion de fabrication sensiblement alourdie.Of course, these numerous conditions which a side roller shutter cheek must satisfy have led the manufacturer to design a multitude of different models. This resulted in an increase non-negligible of the stored parts and a significantly cumbersome manufacturing management.

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 caisson de volet roulant formé par un coffre de forme parallélépipédique et servant de logement à un arbre d'entraînement sur lequel s'enroule et se déroule un tablier, cet arbre d'entraînement étant maintenu, à ses extrémités, par des joues latérales venant obturer ledit coffre et comportant, d'une part, une glissière verticale s'étendant, sensiblement, sur toute leur hauteur et destinée à recevoir l'extrémité supérieure de rails de guidage du tablier et, d'autre part, des moyens de positionnement et de maintien, de conception symétrique par rapport au plan médian horizontal et/ou au centre de ces joues latérales aptes à coopérer avec des embases amovibles rapportées aux extrémités dudit arbre d'entraînement.The present invention aims to remedy these drawbacks. The invention, as characterized in the claims, solves the problem of creating a roller shutter box formed by a box of parallelepiped shape and serving as a housing for a drive shaft on which is wound and unwound an apron, this drive shaft being held, at its ends, by lateral cheeks closing off said trunk and comprising, on the one hand, a vertical slide extending, substantially, over their entire height and intended to receive the upper end of the apron guide rails and, on the other hand, positioning and holding means, of symmetrical design with respect to the horizontal median plane and / or at the center of these side cheeks capable of cooperating with removable bases attached to the ends of said drive shaft.

Les avantages obtenus grâce à cette invention consistent, essentiellement, en ce que les joues latérales présentent une structure adaptée à tout mode de réalisation des volets roulants et, notamment, aux différents moyens moteurs susceptibles d'intervenir. Plus précisément, la notion d'embase amovible a permis de dissocier la fonction, support d'arbre d'entrainement, de la joue latérale. De ce fait, il n'est plus nécessaire de concevoir, pour chaque dimension de caisson donnée, une joue latérale adaptée à des moyens moteurs particuliers. En attribuant cette fonction à des embases amovibles, indépendantes de la taille des caissons, on diminue, considérablement, le nombre de pièces différentes en fabrication.The advantages obtained thanks to this invention consist, essentially, in that the side cheeks have a structure suitable for any embodiment of the roller shutters and, in particular, for the various motor means liable to intervene. More precisely, the notion of removable base has made it possible to dissociate the function, support of drive shaft, from the lateral cheek. Therefore, it is no longer necessary to design, for each given box dimension, a side cheek adapted to particular motor means. By assigning this function to removable bases, independent of the size of the boxes, the number of different parts in production is considerably reduced.

Un autre avantage consiste en ce que ces joues latérales sont rendues réversibles en raison de leur structure, sensiblement, symétrique par rapport à un plan médian horizontal et, notamment, en étendant, sur toute leur hauteur, une glissière permettant d'accueillir, de part et d'autre, l'extrémité de rails de guidage le long desquels le tablier est amené à se déplacer.Another advantage is that these side cheeks are made reversible due to their structure, substantially symmetrical with respect to a horizontal median plane and, in particular, by extending, over their entire height, a slide making it possible to receive, on either side, the end of guide rails along which the deck is brought to move.

Ces avantages concourent à un même but, à savoir la réduction du coût de revient des caissons pour volets roulants en raison d'une fabrication simplifiée et d'une gestion de stockage allégée.These advantages contribute to the same goal, namely the reduction of the cost price of the roller shutter boxes due to a simplified manufacturing and a simplified storage management.

On se réfère, plus particulièrement, aux figures 1 à 3 et 8 et 9.Reference is made, more particularly, to FIGS. 1 to 3 and 8 and 9.

Le caisson 1 de volet roulant, conforme à l'invention, est constitué par un coffre de forme allongée et parallélépipédique disposé, habituellement, au-dessus d'une ouverture pratiquée dans un mur ou une toiture et correspondant à une porte, fenêtre ou analogue.The roller shutter box 1, according to the invention, is constituted by a box of elongated and parallelepiped shape, usually arranged above an opening in a wall or a roof and corresponding to a door, window or the like. .

Ce caisson 1 sert, plus particulièrement, de logement à un arbre d'entraînement 2 duquel et sur lequel se déroule et s'enroule un tablier (non représenté) constitué, généralement, d'une série de lames juxtaposées et reliées entre elles au moyen d'articulations. Cet arbre d'entraînement 2 comporte, à l'une de ses extrémités 3, des moyens moteurs 4, manuels ou automatiques, susceptibles de lui conférer un mouvement de rotation, d'où résulte le déploiement ou le repliement du tablier précité.This box 1 is used, more particularly, for housing a drive shaft 2 from which and on which unrolls and winds up an apron (not shown) generally consisting of a series of juxtaposed blades and connected together by means of joints. This drive shaft 2 comprises, at one of its ends 3, motor means 4, manual or automatic, capable of giving it a rotational movement, which results in the deployment or folding of the above-mentioned apron.

De tels moyens moteurs 4 peuvent être constitués, soit par une poulie ou treuil en cas d'entraînement manuel commandé, par exemple, à l'aide d'une chaîne, d'une courroie ou d'une manivelle, soit par un moteur électrique actionné par des moyens de commande présents dans l'habitation.Such motor means 4 can be constituted either by a pulley or winch in the case of manual drive controlled, for example, using a chain, a belt or a crank, or by an electric motor. actuated by control means present in the dwelling.

Le caisson 1 pour volet roulant comporte, en outre, des joues latérales 5, 5A destinées, d'une part, à maintenir, à ses extrémités 3, 6, l'arbre d'entraînement 2 du tablier et, d'autre part, à obturer les côtés latéraux du coffre précité.The casing 1 for rolling shutter further comprises lateral cheeks 5, 5A intended, on the one hand, to maintain, at its ends 3, 6, the drive shaft 2 of the deck and, on the other hand, to close the lateral sides of the aforementioned trunk.

Préférentiellement, ces joues latérales 5, 5A se présentent sous forme d'un plat 7 en un matériau métallique, plastique ou autre, et aux dimensions adaptées à celles du coffre.Preferably, these side cheeks 5, 5A are in the form of a dish 7 made of a material metallic, plastic or other, and with dimensions adapted to those of the trunk.

Selon une caractéristique de l'invention, lesdites joues latérales 5, 5A comportent, sur leur face interne 8, d'une part, une glissière verticale 9 située sur un de ses bords verticaux 10 et s'étendant, sensiblement, sur toute la hauteur 11 de la joue latérale 5, 5A. L'intérêt de cette glissière verticale 9 consiste à assurer la coopération des joues latérales 5, 5A avec les extrémités libres des rails de guidage verticaux dans lesquels se déplacent les bords latéraux du tablier du volet roulant.According to a characteristic of the invention, said lateral cheeks 5, 5A comprise, on their internal face 8, on the one hand, a vertical slide 9 located on one of its vertical edges 10 and extending, substantially, over the entire height 11 of the lateral cheek 5, 5A. The advantage of this vertical slide 9 consists in ensuring the cooperation of the lateral cheeks 5, 5A with the free ends of the vertical guide rails in which the lateral edges of the roller shutter deck move.

Préférentiellement, la glissière verticale 9 est formée par un profilé 12, de section rectangulaire, rapporté, par soudage, rivetage ou autre, sur la face interne 8 du plat 7. Ce mode de réalisation est représenté, plus précisément, dans les figures 1 à 3.Preferably, the vertical slide 9 is formed by a profile 12, of rectangular section, attached, by welding, riveting or the like, on the internal face 8 of the plate 7. This embodiment is shown, more precisely, in FIGS. 1 to 3.

Toutefois cette glissière verticale 9 peut encore être obtenue par moulage de la joue latérale 5A telle qu'illustrée dans la figure 9.However, this vertical slide 9 can also be obtained by molding the lateral cheek 5A as illustrated in FIG. 9.

La hauteur et la disposition particulière de la glissière verticale 9 par rapport à la joue latérale 5, 5A sont des paramètres particulièrement importants, étant donné qu'ils permettent l'engagement des extrémités des rails de guidage quel que soit le sens de retournement de cette joue latérale 5, 5a. Il en résulte la réversibilité possible de cette dernière pour une utilisation droite ou gauche.The height and the particular arrangement of the vertical slide 9 with respect to the lateral cheek 5, 5A are particularly important parameters, given that they allow the engagement of the ends of the guide rails whatever the direction of reversal of this lateral cheek 5, 5a. This results in the possible reversibility of the latter for right or left use.

D'autre part et selon l'invention, les joues latérales 5, 5A comportent, sur leur face interne 8, des moyens de positionnement et de maintien 13 susceptibles de coopérer avec des embases amovibles 14, 15 rapportées, de manière escamotable, aux extrémités 3, 6 de l'arbre d'entraînement 2.On the other hand and according to the invention, the lateral cheeks 5, 5A comprise, on their internal face 8, positioning and holding means 13 capable of cooperating with removable bases 14, 15 attached, retractably, at the ends 3, 6 of the drive shaft 2.

Avantageusement, ces moyens de positionnement et de maintien 13 sont de conception symétrique par rapport au plan médian horizontal 16 et/ou au centre 17 de la joue latérale 5, 5A, de sorte que ces dernières puissent conserver leur caractère réversible.Advantageously, these positioning and holding means 13 are of symmetrical design with respect to the horizontal median plane 16 and / or to the center 17 of the lateral cheek 5, 5A, so that the latter can retain their reversible character.

Ainsi, lesdits moyens de positionnement et de maintien 13 sont constitués, selon un premier mode de réalisation correspondant aux figures 1 à 3, de deux glissières horizontales 18, 19 disposées de part et d'autre et symétriquement au plan médian horizontal 16 de la joue latérale 5. Plus précisément, ces glissières horizontales 18, 19 sont rapportées, tout comme la glissière verticale 9, sur la face interne 8 du plat 7. Par ailleurs, elles sont constituées par des profilés en forme d'équerre dont l'une 20 des ailes se présente sensiblement perpendiculaire au plan de la joue latérale 5, l'autre aile 21 étant disposée parallèlement à cette dernière.Thus, said positioning and holding means 13 consist, according to a first embodiment corresponding to Figures 1 to 3, of two horizontal slides 18, 19 arranged on either side and symmetrically to the horizontal median plane 16 of the cheek lateral 5. More precisely, these horizontal slides 18, 19 are attached, like the vertical slide 9, on the internal face 8 of the plate 7. Furthermore, they are formed by square-shaped profiles, one of which 20 wings is present substantially perpendicular to the plane of the lateral cheek 5, the other wing 21 being arranged parallel to the latter.

Tel qu'indiqué ci-dessus, la fonction de ces glissières horizontales 18, 19 consiste à assurer la liaison entre la joue latérale 5 et une embase amovible 14, 15, cette dernière constituant des moyens de maintien de l'arbre d'entraînement 2 ou des moyens moteurs 4 du volet roulant. En fait, ces embases amovibles 14, 15 présentent une structure déterminée en fonction du mode de réalisation choisi du volet roulant ou des moyens moteurs 4 associés. Ainsi, elles évitent les multiples adaptations de la structure des joues latérales 5, 5A à ces différents modes de réalisation.As indicated above, the function of these horizontal slides 18, 19 consists in ensuring the connection between the side cheek 5 and a removable base 14, 15, the latter constituting means for holding the drive shaft 2 or motor means 4 of the rolling shutter. In fact, these removable bases 14, 15 have a structure determined according to the chosen embodiment of the roller shutter or the associated motor means 4. Thus, they avoid the multiple adaptations of the structure of the side cheeks 5, 5A to these different embodiments.

D'une manière générale, les différentes embases amovibles 14, 15 sont constituées d'un plat 22 de forme parallélépipédique et de largeur 23 déterminée en fonction de l'écartement des glissières horizontales 18, 19. Il est, en effet, indispensable d'assurer la coopération de ces dernières avec les bords horizontaux 24, 25 dudit plat 22.In general, the various removable bases 14, 15 consist of a flat 22 of parallelepiped shape and of width 23 determined as a function of the spacing of the horizontal slides 18, 19. It is, in fact, essential to ensuring the cooperation of the latter with the horizontal edges 24, 25 of said plate 22.

A noter, par ailleurs, que lesdits bords horizontaux 24, 25 sont sensiblement décalés par rapport au plan du plat 22 de manière à définir entre ce dernier et la face interne 8 de la joue latérale 5, 5A un espace libre suffisant pour autoriser la mise en place des têtes de vis, écrous ou autres moyens de fixation.Note, moreover, that said horizontal edges 24, 25 are substantially offset relative to the plane of the plate 22 so as to define between the latter and the internal face 8 of the lateral cheek 5, 5A a sufficient free space to allow the setting in place of screw heads, nuts or other fixing means.

Dans le but de faciliter l'engagement et le positionnement d'une embase amovible 14, 15 dans les glissières 18, 19, ces dernières comportent, à l'une de leur extrémité 26, une butée 27 coopérant avec le chant vertical 28 du plat 22. De plus, les bords horizontaux 24, 25 présentent, en outre, des orifices 29 servant de passage à des organes de fixation 30 solidaires des glissières 18, 19. Cette coopération des organes de fixation précités et des orifices 29 usinés dans les embases amovibles 14, 15 consiste, essentiellement, à assurer le maintien de ces dernières dans des glissières 18, 19 pour, finalement, les rendre solidaires des joues latérales 5.In order to facilitate the engagement and positioning of a removable base 14, 15 in the slides 18, 19, the latter comprise, at one of their ends 26, a stop 27 cooperating with the vertical edge 28 of the plate 22. In addition, the horizontal edges 24, 25 have, in addition, orifices 29 serving as passage for fixing members 30 integral with the slides 18, 19. This cooperation of the aforementioned fixing members and orifices 29 machined in the bases removable 14, 15 consists, essentially, in ensuring the maintenance of the latter in slides 18, 19 in order, finally, to make them integral with the side cheeks 5.

Selon un second mode de réalisation, illustré dans les figures 8 et 9, les moyens de positionnement et de maintien 13 sont, en réalité, des moyens 31 pour emboîter, dans le sens axial, les embases amovibles 14, 15 sur les joues latérales 5A. Cette particularité permet, au moment du montage du volet roulant, de s'affranchir d'une contrainte supplémentaire que constitue, habituellement, le sens d'emboîtement du mécanisme d'entraînement du tablier à l'intérieur du caisson 1.According to a second embodiment, illustrated in FIGS. 8 and 9, the positioning and holding means 13 are, in reality, means 31 for fitting, in the axial direction, the removable bases 14, 15 on the side cheeks 5A . This feature makes it possible, at the time of mounting the roller shutter, to overcome an additional constraint which usually constitutes the direction of fitting of the drive mechanism of the deck inside the box 1.

En effet, l'utilisation de glissières horizontales 18, 19 en tant que moyens de positionnement et de maintien 13 des embases amovibles 14, 15 impose le montage du tablier et de son mécanisme d'entraînement depuis la face avant ou arrière du caisson 1 du volet roulant sans qu'aucune autre solution ne soit possible, excepté le montage en block de ce dernier.Indeed, the use of horizontal slides 18, 19 as positioning and holding means 13 of the removable bases 14, 15 requires the mounting of the deck and its drive mechanism from the front or rear face of the box 1 of the roller shutter without any other solution is not possible, except the block assembly of the latter.

Cependant, dans le cadre de ce mode de réalisation spécifique des moyens de positionnement et de maintien 13, il est possible d'assurer la coopération des joues latérales 5A avec les embases amovibles 14, 15 quel que soit le côté du caisson servant au passage de l'arbre d'entraînement 2 muni du tablier et des moyens moteurs 4.However, in the context of this specific embodiment of the positioning and holding means 13, it is possible to ensure the cooperation of the side cheeks 5A with the removable bases 14, 15 whatever the side of the box used for the passage of the drive shaft 2 provided with the deck and the driving means 4.

Toutefois, un tel mode opératoire de montage, impose l'utilisation d'un arbre d'entraînement 2 de longueur modulable. Dans ce but, cet arbre d'entraînement 2 est du type télescopique.However, such an assembly operating mode requires the use of a drive shaft 2 of modular length. For this purpose, this drive shaft 2 is of the telescopic type.

A cet effet, et selon un mode de réalisation préférentiel, l'arbre d'entraînement 2 comporte, à l'une au moins de ses extrémités 6, une rallonge 32 formée par une broche 33 montée coulissante dans ledit arbre d'entraînement 2 et dont la longueur saillante 34 par rapport à cette extrémité 6 est variable.To this end, and according to a preferred embodiment, the drive shaft 2 comprises, at at least one of its ends 6, an extension 32 formed by a pin 33 slidably mounted in said drive shaft 2 and whose protruding length 34 relative to this end 6 is variable.

Ainsi, selon que l'on est en phase de montage ou en position emboîtée des embases amovibles 14, 15 sur les joues latérales 5A, la broche 33 est plus ou moins introduite dans l'arbre d'entraînement 2, conférant à ce dernier une longueur plus réduite ou, selon le cas, plus importante.Thus, depending on whether one is in the mounting phase or in the nested position of the removable bases 14, 15 on the side cheeks 5A, the spindle 33 is more or less introduced into the drive shaft 2, giving the latter a shorter or, as the case may be, longer length.

Préférentiellement, le maintien et le guidage de la broche 33 dans l'arbre d'entraînement 2 est obtenu au moyen d'une bague 35 rapportée à l'extrémité 6 de ce dernier et comportant en son centre un alésage ajusté au diamètre de ladite broche 33. Cette bague 35 est munie, également, de moyens de blocage 36 de ladite broche 33 pour immobiliser cette dernière dans le sens axial en fin de montage et garantir, de ce fait, la coopération des embases amovibles 14, 15 avec les moyens d'emboîtement axial 31.Preferably, the holding and guiding of the spindle 33 in the drive shaft 2 is obtained by means of a ring 35 attached to the end 6 of the latter and having in its center a bore adjusted to the diameter of said spindle 33. This ring 35 is also provided with means for blocking said spindle 33 to immobilize the latter in the axial direction at the end of assembly and thereby guarantee the cooperation of the removable bases 14, 15 with the means of axial fitting 31.

En ce qui concerne ces derniers, ils sont constitués, substantiellement, par au moins deux tétons 37, 38 disposés du côté interne 8 de chacune des joues latérales 5A symétriquement par rapport au centre 17 de ces dernières. Cette condition de symétrie est primordiale pour conserver le caractère réversible des joues latérales 5A. Bien entendu, le nombre de deux tétons n'est nullement limitatif et il est représenté, dans la figure 9, une réalisation avec quatre tétons 37, 38, 40, 41 répartis symétriquement par rapport au centre 17 d'une joue latérale 5A.As regards the latter, they consist, substantially, of at least two pins 37, 38 arranged on the internal side 8 of each of the side cheeks 5A symmetrically with respect to the center 17 of the latter. This condition of symmetry is essential to preserve the reversible nature of the side cheeks 5A. Of course, the number of two nipples is in no way limiting and it is shown, in FIG. 9, an embodiment with four nipples 37, 38, 40, 41 distributed symmetrically with respect to the center 17 of a lateral cheek 5A.

Selon un autre mode de réalisation, on substitue aux tétons précités, un cadre 42 de côté 43 régulier et respectant les conditions de symétrie énoncées ci-dessus.According to another embodiment, the abovementioned pins are replaced with a frame 42 with a regular side 43 and meeting the conditions of symmetry set out above.

Selon le mode de réalisation représenté dans la figure 9, les moyens 31 sont une combinaison de tétons 37, 38, 40, 41 et d'un cadre 42 offrant un maintien et un positionnement plus efficace susceptible de pallier à des charges plus conséquentes, correspondant, notamment, à des volets roulants de taille importante.According to the embodiment represented in FIG. 9, the means 31 are a combination of pins 37, 38, 40, 41 and a frame 42 offering a more effective support and positioning capable of alleviating more substantial loads, corresponding , in particular, to large roller shutters.

Les figures 4 à 7 représentent, sous différentes vues, deux embases amovibles 14, 15 adaptées à des modes de réalisation distincts de volet roulant, notamment, de ses moyens moteurs 4 et de l'arbre d'entraînement 2 du tablier.Figures 4 to 7 show, in different views, two removable bases 14, 15 adapted to separate embodiments of the roller shutter, in particular, its drive means 4 and the drive shaft 2 of the deck.

Ainsi, l'embase amovible 14 (figures 4 et 5) est destinée à coopérer avec l'extrémité 44 de la broche 33 ou, tout simplement, l'extrémité de l'arbre d'entraînement, et se compose d'un plat 22, généralement métallique, comportant, en son centre 45, un moyeu 46 muni de moyens de roulement facilitant la rotation de la broche 33 ou dudit arbre d'entraînement 2. Quant à l'embase amovible 15 représentée dans les figures 6 et 7, elle intervient plus particulièrement du côté de l'arbre d'entraînement 2 pourvu des moyens moteurs 4 et comporte, à cet effet, une structure en conséquence. Ainsi, cette embase amovible 15 est formée d'un plat métallique 22, comportant, d'une part, un orifice central 47 autorisant le centrage des moyens moteurs 4 et, d'autre part, une série d'ouvertures 48, 49 réparties sur sa surface et servant au passage d'organes de fixation, soit d'un treuil, soit d'une boîte de compensation ou encore d'un moteur électrique.Thus, the removable base 14 (Figures 4 and 5) is intended to cooperate with the end 44 of the spindle 33 or, quite simply, the end of the drive shaft, and consists of a flat 22 , generally metallic, comprising, at its center 45, a hub 46 provided with rolling means facilitating the rotation of the spindle 33 or of said drive shaft 2. As for the removable base 15 shown in FIGS. 6 and 7, it works more particularly on the drive shaft 2 side provided with drive means 4 and comprises, for this purpose, a structure accordingly. Thus, this removable base 15 is formed of a metal dish 22, comprising, on the one hand, a central orifice 47 allowing the centering of the motor means 4 and, on the other hand, a series of openings 48, 49 distributed over its surface and used for the passage of fasteners, either a winch, a compensation box or an electric motor.

En cas d'utilisation d'un cadre 42 en tant que moyen 31 pour emboîter axialement les embases amovibles 14, 15 sur les joues latérales 5A, les dimensions de ces embases amovibles 14, 15 sont ajustées à celles de l'espace interne délimité par ledit cadre 42.If a frame 42 is used as a means 31 for axially fitting the removable bases 14, 15 onto the side cheeks 5A, the dimensions of these removable bases 14, 15 are adjusted to those of the internal space delimited by said frame 42.

Par ailleurs, les plats métalliques 22 formant ces embases amovibles 14, 15 comportent des orifices 29 usinés en concordance avec des tétons 37, 38, 40, 41 et servent au passage à ces derniers pour positionner lesdites embases amovibles 14, 15 sur les joues latérales 5A.Furthermore, the metal plates 22 forming these removable bases 14, 15 have orifices 29 machined in accordance with pins 37, 38, 40, 41 and are used for the passage thereof to position said removable bases 14, 15 on the side cheeks 5A.

A noter que pour assurer la liaison entre le coffre et les joues latérales 5, 5A, ces dernières présentent des pattes de liaison 50, 51, 52, 53 réparties sur toute leur périphérie 2 et situées à proximité de leurs chants horizontaux 54 et/ou verticaux 55. Ces pattes de liaison 50 à 53 sont de taille plus ou moins importante en fonction de la charge qu'elles sont amenées à supporter et présentent une ou plusieurs ouvertures 56 servant de passage à des organes de fixation des panneaux formant le coffre.Note that to ensure the connection between the trunk and the side cheeks 5, 5A, the latter have connecting lugs 50, 51, 52, 53 distributed over their entire periphery 2 and located near their horizontal edges 54 and / or vertical 55. These connecting tabs 50 to 53 are of varying size depending on the load they are brought to bear and have one or more openings 56 serving as passage for fastening members of the panels forming the trunk.

Le procédé de montage s'accordant aux volets roulants équipés de joues latérales 5A pourvus de moyens 31 pour emboîter axialement les embases amovibles 14, 15 consiste à disposer au-dessus de l'ouverture présente dans la maçonnerie, le caisson 1 muni des joues latérales 5A. Puis, après montage des moyens moteurs 4 et des embases amovibles 14, 15 sur l'arbre d'entraînement 2, on procède à l'engagement de ce dernier à l'intérieur du caisson 1 préalablement monté. L'opération suivante consiste à introduire l'embase amovible 15, située du côté des moyens moteurs 4, dans les moyens d'emboîtement axial 31 de la joue latérale 5A, avant de provoquer le coulissement de la broche 33 dans la bague 35, de manière à positionner l'embase amovible 14 sur la joue latérale opposée 5A. Finalement, cette broche 33 est immobilisée par rapport à l'arbre d'entraînement 2 par l'intermédiaire des moyens de blocage 36. Ce montage réalisé, il suffit de refermer le caisson 1 au moyen des panneaux non encore assemblés.The mounting method according to the roller shutters fitted with side cheeks 5A provided with means 31 for axially fitting the removable bases 14, 15 consists in placing above the opening present in the masonry, the box 1 provided with side cheeks 5A. Then, after assembly of the motor means 4 and removable bases 14, 15 on the drive shaft 2, one proceeds to the engagement of the latter inside the box 1 previously mounted. The following operation consists in introducing the removable base 15, located on the side of the motor means 4, into the axial interlocking means 31 of the side cheek 5A, before causing the pin 33 to slide in the ring 35, so as to position the removable base 14 on the opposite side cheek 5A. Finally, this spindle 33 is immobilized relative to the drive shaft 2 by means of the locking means 36. This assembly carried out, it suffices to close the box 1 by means of the panels not yet assembled.

Il est bien évident qu'en réduisant les contraintes, tant au niveau de la conception du volet roulant que dans le cadre de son montage définitif dans la maçonnerie d'une construction, cette invention concourt à des objectifs sans cesse renouvelés quel que soit le domaine de l'industrie concernée, à savoir la diminution du coût de production et, d'une manière générale, du prix de revient du produit mis en oeuvre.It is obvious that by reducing the constraints, both in terms of the design of the roller shutter and in the context of its final assembly in the masonry of a construction, this invention contributes to constantly renewed objectives whatever the field. of the industry concerned, namely the reduction in the cost of production and, in general, the cost price of the product used.
