Description

L'invention concerne une coulisse latérale de volet roulant pour porte, fenêtre ou analogue, rapportée sur le dormant de cette dernière et comportant des moyens pour ajuster son positionnement par rapport audit dormant suivant une direction perpendiculaire au plan de la porte, fenêtre ou analogue.The invention relates to a lateral sliding shutter slide for a door, window or the like, attached to the frame of the latter and comprising means for adjusting its positioning relative to said frame in a direction perpendicular to the plane of the door, window or the like.

Cette invention trouvera son application, plus particulièrement, dans le domaine des couvertures amovibles et, notamment, chez les fabricants de volets roulants.This invention will find its application, more particularly, in the field of removable covers and, in particular, in the manufacturers of roller shutters.

Dans le cas le plus général, les volets roulants comportent un caisson disposé habituellement, au-dessus d'une ouverture pratiquée dans une maçonnerie et destinée à accueillir une porte, fenêtre ou analogue. Dans ce caisson est logé un mécanisme d'enroulement et/ou de déroulement d'un tablier formé par une série de lames juxtaposées et reliées entre elles par l'intermédiaire de moyens d'articulation appropriés. Au cours du déploiement et du repliement de ce tablier, lesdites lames sont amenées à se déplacer, au niveau de leur extrémité latérale, dans les rails de guidage ou coulisses rapportées, le cas le plus fréquent, sur les tableaux de l'ouverture, c'est-à-dire les parties latérales de cette dernière.In the most general case, the roller shutters comprise a box usually arranged, above an opening made in a masonry and intended to accommodate a door, window or the like. In this box is housed a mechanism for winding and / or unwinding an apron formed by a series of juxtaposed blades and connected together by means of suitable articulation means. During the deployment and folding of this deck, said blades are caused to move, at their lateral end, in the guide rails or slides reported, the most frequent case, on the opening tables, c that is to say the lateral parts of the latter.

Une telle disposition des coulisses présente un certain nombre d'inconvénients, notamment, en ce qui concerne leur positionnement convenable par rapport à la porte ou fenêtre.Such an arrangement of the slides has a certain number of drawbacks, in particular, as regards their suitable positioning with respect to the door or window.

En effet, en raison des tolérances relativement larges accordées à des ouvrages maçonnés, il est fréquent que les tableaux des ouvertures ne soient ni d'aplomb, ni parallèles entre eux. De ce fait, il est indispensable de compenser ces défauts au moment du montage du volet roulant.Indeed, because of the relatively wide tolerances granted to masonry structures, it is frequent that the tables of the openings are neither plumb nor parallel to each other. Therefore, it is essential to compensate for these faults when installing the roller shutter.

A cet effet, on a conçu des pièces de réglage additionnelles venant s'intercaler entre les coulisses latérales et les tableaux et permettant de compenser les variations de dimension des ouvertures réalisées dans la maçonnerie.To this end, additional adjustment pieces have been designed which are inserted between the lateral slides and the tables and which make it possible to compensate for the variations in dimension of the openings made in the masonry.

Cette façon de procéder est décrite, plus particulièrement, dans le document DE-A-3.443.470. En fait, celui-ci est relatif à une coulisse pour volet roulant comportant sur sa périphérie des moyens d'attache susceptibles de coopérer avec des profilés additionnels. Plus précisément, la fonction de ces derniers consiste à ajuster la position de ladite coulisse sur les tableaux de l'ouverture pratiquée dans la maçonnerie. Aussi, leur nombre, leur disposition et leur épaisseur dépend du type de réglage à effectuer.This procedure is described, more particularly, in document DE-A-3,443,470. In fact, it relates to a sliding shutter slide comprising on its periphery attachment means capable of cooperating with additional profiles. More specifically, the function of the latter is to adjust the position of said slide on the tables of the opening in the masonry. Also, their number, arrangement and thickness depends on the type of adjustment to be made.

Bien que de telles pièces de réglage ou profilés additionnels apportent une solution au problème posé ci-dessus, il n'en reste pas moins qu'ils nécessitent une opération de montage supplémentaire.Although such adjustment pieces or additional profiles provide a solution to the problem posed above, the fact remains that they require an additional mounting operation.

En fait, la solution consiste à se décharger des contraintes précitées en associant lesdites coulisses au montant du dormant de la porte, fenêtre ou analogue. Toutefois, une telle disposition impose d'importantes modifications dans le positionnement dudit dormant par rapport à l'ouverture aménagée dans la maçonnerie, en effet, ce dormant vient se décaler sensiblement vers l'intérieur de l'habitation en raison de la surépaisseur que constituent les coulisses latérales. Cependant, les modes de construction actuels permettent de compenser, largement, cette surépaisseur grâce au revêtement isolant généralement appliqué sur la face interne des murs maçonnés.In fact, the solution consists in discharging the aforementioned constraints by associating said slides with the amount of the door frame, window or the like. However, such an arrangement requires significant modifications in the positioning of said frame relative to the opening in the masonry, in fact, this frame is shifted substantially towards the interior of the dwelling due to the extra thickness that constitutes the side slides. However, current construction methods make it possible to largely compensate for this extra thickness thanks to the insulating coating generally applied to the internal face of masonry walls.

Toutefois, une telle disposition n'est pas sans présenter un certain nombre d'inconvénients dus, en grande partie, aux épaisseurs variables du revêtement isolant utilisé, cette épaisseur étant, en règle générale, supérieure à l'association dormant-coulisse latérale. De ce fait, il est indispensable d'intégrer entre ces derniers un élément supplémentaire pour ajuster convenablement l'ensemble de sorte que l'ouvrant de la porte ou fenêtre se présente, sensiblement, à fleur avec la façade interne à l'habitation du mur pourvu de ce revêtement isolant.However, such an arrangement is not without presenting a certain number of drawbacks due, in large part, to the variable thicknesses of the insulating coating used, this thickness being, as a general rule, greater than the combination of side frame and side slide. Therefore, it is essential to integrate between them an additional element to properly adjust the assembly so that the opening of the door or window appears, substantially, flush with the internal facade of the dwelling of the wall provided with this insulating coating.

Bien entendu, les caractéristiques dimensionnelles de cet élément intermédiaire supplémentaire, implanté entre les coulisses latérales et les montants du dormant seront choisies en concordance avec le type d'isolant utilisé. De ce fait, il est nécessaire de tenir, en stock, autant d'éléments intermédiaires que de catégories de revêtements isolants existant sur le marché. Il est indéniable que ceci est particulièrement gênant, pour le fabricant, d'une part et, d'autre part, pour l'utilisateur. Tous deux sont dans l'obligation, dans ces conditions, de gérer un stock important pour satisfaire à toutes les demandes.Of course, the dimensional characteristics of this additional intermediate element, located between the lateral slides and the amounts of the frame will be chosen in accordance with the type of insulation used. Therefore, it is necessary to keep, in stock, as many intermediate elements as categories of insulating coatings existing on the market. It is undeniable that this is particularly troublesome, for the manufacturer, on the one hand and, on the other hand, for the user. Both are under the obligation, under these conditions, to manage a large stock to meet all requests.

Il est également connu, au travers du document DE-U-7.035.395 une autre coulisse ou rail de guidage dans lequel viennent à se déplacer les extrémités latérales de lames constituant le tablier d'un volet roulant.It is also known, through document DE-U-7.035.395 another slide or guide rail in which the lateral ends of the blades constituting the deck of a roller shutter come to move.

Cependant, le problème qui y est évoqué et qu'il s'agit de résoudre au travers de l'invention décrite dans ce document antérieur consiste en ce qu'il existe différents types de volets roulants comportant des tabliers composés de lames dont l'épaisseur peut être amenée à varier en fonction, soit de la taille de la porte ou fenêtre ou encore d'autres critères de résistance. Aussi, le profilé constituant les coulisses ou rails de guidage dans lesquels viennent à se déplacer les extrémités latérales des lames, doit nécessairement être adapté à l'épaisseur de ces dernières.However, the problem which is evoked there and which it is a question of solving through the invention described in this previous document consists in that there are different types of rolling shutters comprising aprons composed of slats whose thickness may vary depending on either the size of the door or window or other resistance criteria. Also, the profile constituting the guide rails or rails in which the lateral ends of the blades come to move, must necessarily be adapted to the thickness of the latter.

Dans ce but, il a été imaginé, selon ce document DE-U-7.035.395, de subdiviser un rail de guidage en deux profilés distincts de section approximative en forme de "U" et dont l'une des ailes parallèles qui les composent comporte des moyens d'emboîtement permettant, finalement, à ces profilés en "U" d'être reliés l'un à l'autre. De plus, ces moyens d'emboîtement sont de nature réglable de sorte que le rail de guidage obtenu au travers de l'assemblage de ces profilés en "U" puisse être, précisément, adapté à l'épaisseur des lames composant le volet roulant.For this purpose, it has been imagined, according to this document DE-U-7.035.395, to subdivide a guide rail into two separate profiles of approximate section in the shape of a "U" and one of the parallel wings of which they are composed. includes interlocking means allowing, finally, these "U" sections to be connected to each other. In addition, these interlocking means are of adjustable nature so that the guide rail obtained through the assembly of these "U" sections can be, precisely, adapted to the thickness of the blades making up the shutter.

L'invention telle qu'elle est caractérisée dans les revendications résout les inconvénients précités et consiste en une coulisse latérale de volet roulant pour porte, fenêtre ou analogue, rapportée sur le dormant de cette dernière, et comportant des moyens pour ajuster son positionnement par rapport audit dormant suivant une direction perpendiculaire au plan de la porte, fenêtre ou analogue, ces moyens étant constitués de moyens de fixation à longueur variable reliant la coulisse latérale au montant du dormant et se présentant sous forme de deux ailes disposées symétriquement par rapport à un plan médian vertical perpendiculaire au plan du dormant, ces ailes, d'une part, étant reliées par des éléments de fixation, tels que vis, rivets ou analogues, soit au montant du dormant, soit à la coulisse latérale et, d'autre part, coopérant soit avec ladite coulisse latérale, soit avec ledit montant du dormant, par l'intermédiaire de moyens d'ancrage, ces ailes comportant une série de ces moyens d'ancrage équidistants les uns par rapport aux autres, disposés sur toute la largeur et sur l'une des faces desdites ailes permettant de sectionner ces dernières à la largeur désirée au cours du montage du volet roulant.The invention as characterized in the claims resolves the aforementioned drawbacks and consists of a lateral sliding shutter slide for a door, window or the like, attached to the frame of the latter, and comprising means for adjusting its positioning relative to said frame in a direction perpendicular to the plane of the door, window or the like, these means being constituted by fixing means of variable length connecting the lateral slide to the frame amount and being in the form of two wings arranged symmetrically with respect to a plane vertical median perpendicular to the plane of the frame, these wings, on the one hand, being connected by fastening elements, such as screws, rivets or the like, either to the amount of the frame, either to the lateral slide and, on the other hand, cooperating either with said lateral slide, or with said frame amount, by means of anchoring means, these wings comprising a series of these anchoring means equidistant from each other relative to the others, arranged over the entire width and on one of the faces of said wings making it possible to cut the latter to the desired width during the mounting of the shutter.

Les avantages obtenus grâce à cette invention consistent, essentiellement, en ce que l'ajustement de la coulisse latérale par rapport au dormant est considérablement facilité tout en autorisant l'utilisation d'un matériel standard. Il en résulte, bien évidemment, un montage aisé du volet roulant dans l'ouverture d'une porte ou fenêtre et une importante réduction de la gestion des stocks. En effet, un matériel identique est en mesure de satisfaire à toutes les demandes qu'elles que soient les exigences dimensionnelles.The advantages obtained thanks to this invention consist essentially in that the adjustment of the lateral slide relative to the frame is considerably facilitated while allowing the use of standard equipment. This obviously results in easy mounting of the roller shutter in the opening of a door or window and a significant reduction in inventory management. Indeed, identical equipment is able to satisfy all requests, whatever the dimensional requirements.

La présente invention s'applique, notamment, à des volets roulants 1, tels que représentés dans la figure 1, offrant la possibilité de refermer une ouverture 2 pratiquée dans le mur 3 d'une construction, cette ouverture 2 servant à accueillir une porte, fenêtre ou analogue 4.The present invention applies, in particular, to roller shutters 1, as shown in FIG. 1, offering the possibility of closing an opening 2 made in the wall 3 of a construction, this opening 2 serving to accommodate a door, window or the like 4.

Ces volets roulants 1 sont particulièrement connus de l'Homme du Métier et sont constitués d'un caisson 5 disposé, habituellement, au-dessus de l'ouverture 2 précitée. Ce caisson 5 sert de logement à un mécanisme d'enroulement et/ou de déroulement 6 permettant de déployer ou de replier un tablier 7. Celui-ci est formé d'une pluralité de lames 8 juxtaposées reliées entre elles par des moyens d'articulation appropriés. Ce tablier 7 se déroule et/ou s'enroule sur un tambour 9 logé dans le caisson 5.These roller shutters 1 are particularly known to those skilled in the art and consist of a box 5 usually arranged above the aforementioned opening 2. This box 5 serves as a housing for a winding and / or unwinding mechanism 6 making it possible to deploy or fold back an apron 7. The latter is formed from a plurality of juxtaposed blades 8 connected together by articulation means appropriate. This apron 7 is unwound and / or wound on a drum 9 housed in the box 5.

Au cours de ses déplacements, le tablier 7 et, notamment, les extrémités latérales des lames 8 sont amenées à se déplacer dans des coulisses latérales 10 assurant, simultanément, leur maintien et leur guidage sur toute la hauteur de l'ouverture 2.During its movements, the deck 7 and, in particular, the lateral ends of the blades 8 are caused to move in lateral slides 10 ensuring, simultaneously, their maintenance and their guidance over the entire height of the opening 2.

Dans le cadre du mode de réalisation conforme à la présente invention, la coulisse latérale 10 est rapportée sur la face externe 11 d'un montant 12 du dormant 13 de la porte ou fenêtre 4. Cette coulisse latérale 10 vient, par ailleurs, en applique sur le côté interne 14 du mur 3, au niveau des bordures 15 de l'ouverture 2.In the context of the embodiment according to the present invention, the lateral slide 10 is attached to the external face 11 of an upright 12 of the frame 13 of the door or window 4. This lateral slide 10 comes, moreover, as a surface on the internal side 14 of the wall 3, at the edges 15 of the opening 2.

Très fréquemment, les critères d'économie d'énergie imposent, dans le cadre des méthodes de construction actuelles de recouvrir, soit la façade externe 17, soit le côté interne 14 du mur 3 d'un revêtement isolant 16. La présente invention s'applique, plus particulièrement, aux méthodes de construction adoptant une isolation du côté interne 14 à l'habitation.Very frequently, the energy saving criteria require, in the context of current construction methods, to cover either the external facade 17 or the internal side 14 of the wall 3 with an insulating coating 16. The present invention s applies, more particularly, to construction methods adopting insulation on the internal side 14 of the dwelling.

Le choix du revêtement isolant 16 repose, très fréquemment, sur des critères définis par un cahier des charges spécifiant la nature du matériel à utiliser et les degrés d'isolation thermique et phonique que l'on désire atteindre.The choice of the insulating coating 16 is very often based on criteria defined by specifications specifying the nature of the material to be used and the degrees of thermal and sound insulation that it is desired to achieve.

Ainsi, la structure de ce revêtement isolant 16 varie d'une construction à l'autre, tant sur le plan des matériaux mis en oeuvre, que sur ses caractéristiques dimensionnelles. Toutefois, ces caractéristiques dimensionnelles vont conditionner celles de la coulisse latérale 10 rapportée au dormant 13.Thus, the structure of this insulating coating 16 varies from one construction to another, both in terms of the materials used, and in terms of its dimensional characteristics. However, these dimensional characteristics will condition those of the lateral slide 10 attached to the frame 13.

En effet, il est indispensable, qu'en fin de montage, la porte, fenêtre ou analogue 4, se présente, sensiblement, à fleur avec la face interne à l'habitation 18 dudit revêtement isolant 16. Au cas où ce dernier est recouvert d'une plaque protectrice 19, tel que du plâtre, ladite porte ou fenêtre 4 se présentera préférentiellement, dans un plan sensiblement identique à cette dernière. De plus, pour conférer une certaine stabilité au dormant 13 et assurer l'étanchéité au niveau de l'ouverture 2, les coulisses latérales 10 devront coopérer, intimement, avec le côté interne 14 du mur 3. Cependant, il est peu probable que l'association dormant 13 et coulisse latérale 10 coïncide exactement avec l'épaisseur du revêtement isolant 16, celle-ci étant, dans la plupart des cas, largement supérieure. Il convient, de ce fait, de compenser cette différence.Indeed, it is essential that, at the end of assembly, the door, window or the like 4, appears, substantially, flush with the internal face of the housing 18 of said insulating coating 16. In case the latter is covered a protective plate 19, such as plaster, said door or window 4 preferably appear in a plane substantially identical to the latter. In addition, to give a certain stability to the frame 13 and seal at the opening 2, the side rails 10 will have to cooperate, intimately, with the internal side 14 of the wall 3. However, it is unlikely that the the combination of frame 13 and side slide 10 exactly coincides with the thickness of the insulating coating 16, this being, in most cases, much greater. It is therefore necessary to compensate for this difference.

A cet effet, selon une caractéristique de l'invention, la coulisse latérale 10 comporte des moyens 20 pour ajuster son positionnement par rapport au dormant 13 suivant une direction perpendiculaire au plan de la porte, fenêtre ou analogue 4.To this end, according to a characteristic of the invention, the lateral slide 10 comprises means 20 for adjusting its positioning relative to the frame 13 in a direction perpendicular to the plane of the door, window or the like 4.

Préférentiellement, ces moyens 20 consistent en des moyens de fixation à longueur variable 21 reliant la coulisse latérale 10 au montant 12 du dormant 13.Preferably, these means 20 consist of variable length fixing means 21 connecting the lateral slide 10 to the upright 12 of the frame 13.

D'une manière générale, une coulisse latérale de volet roulant est formée, substantiellement, au moyen d'un profilé en forme de "U" 22 composé de deux parois 23, 24 disposées dans des plans parallèles au plan du dormant 13 et reliées entre elles, par une paroi transversale 25. Entre ces parois 23, 24 sont amenées à coulisser les extrémités latérales des lames 8 au cours du déploiement et du repliement du tablier 7. Quant à la paroi transversale 25, celle-ci a pour fonction d'éviter un décalage des lames entre elles suivant leur axe longitudinal.In general, a lateral sliding shutter slide is formed, substantially, by means of a "U" shaped profile 22 composed of two walls 23, 24 arranged in planes parallel to the plane of the frame 13 and connected between them, by a transverse wall 25. Between these walls 23, 24 are caused to slide the lateral ends of the blades 8 during the deployment and folding of the apron 7. As for the transverse wall 25, this has the function of avoid an offset of the blades between them along their longitudinal axis.

Dans le cadre du mode de réalisation représenté dans les figures 2 et 3, la coulisse latérale 10 présente une configuration symétrique par rapport à un plan médian vertical 26. De ce fait, cette coulisse latérale 10 comporte deux profilés en forme de "U" 22 et 27, associés entre eux par des moyens de liaison 28 appropriés. Cette caractéristique autorise la réversibilité de la coulisse latérale 10, ceci dans le but de standardiser le matériel et de réduire l'importance du stockage.In the context of the embodiment shown in Figures 2 and 3, the side slide 10 has a symmetrical configuration with respect to a vertical median plane 26. Therefore, this side slide 10 has two "U" shaped sections 22 and 27, associated with one another by suitable connecting means 28. This characteristic allows the reversibility of the lateral slide 10, this in order to standardize the material and reduce the importance of storage.

Toutefois, la présente invention ne sera nullement limitée à un tel mode de réalisation et s'appliquera tout autant à des coulisses latérales de conception différente et moins complexe.However, the present invention will in no way be limited to such an embodiment and will apply just as much to side slides of different and less complex design.

En ce qui concerne les moyens de fixation à longueur variable 21, cités plus haut, ceux-ci sont constitués, substantiellement, par au moins une aile 29 de largeur 30 variable, s'étendant, sensiblement, sur toute la hauteur de l'ouverture 2 et disposée perpendiculairement par rapport au plan du dormant 13. Cette aile 29 coopère, d'une part, avec la coulisse latérale 10, par l'intermédiaire de moyens d'ancrage 31 et, d'autre part, avec le montant 12 du dormant 13, auquel elle est rendue solidaire par des éléments de fixation 32 appropriés, tels que vis, rivets ou analogue.As regards the variable-length fastening means 21, mentioned above, these consist, essentially, of at least one wing 29 of variable width, extending substantially over the entire height of the opening. 2 and arranged perpendicularly to the plane of the frame 13. This wing 29 cooperates, on the one hand, with the lateral slide 10, by means of anchoring means 31 and, on the other hand, with the upright 12 of the frame 13, to which it is made integral by appropriate fastening elements 32, such as screws, rivets or the like.

Bien entendu, la solution inverse peut être envisagée. Dans ce cas, l'aile 29 sera reliée, par des moyens d'ancrage 33 au montant 12 du dormant 13 et rapportée par des éléments de fixation 34, sur la coulisse latérale 10.Of course, the opposite solution can be envisaged. In this case, the wing 29 will be connected, by anchoring means 33 to the upright 12 of the frame 13 and attached by fixing elements 34, to the lateral slide 10.

Selon un autre mode de réalisation, l'aile 29 fait partie intégrante de la coulisse latérale 10, celle-ci étant confectionnée, soit par soudage, soit par extrusion, cette dernière méthode étant la plus fréquemment adoptée. Cette aile 29 coopère, dans ces conditions, avec le montant 12 par le biais de moyens d'ancrage 33.According to another embodiment, the wing 29 is an integral part of the lateral slide 10, the latter being made, either by welding or by extrusion, the latter method being the most frequently adopted. This wing 29 cooperates, under these conditions, with the upright 12 by means of anchoring means 33.

Plus précisément, les moyens d'ancrage 31, 33, reliant l'aile 29 à la coulisse latérale 10 ou au montant 12 sont constitués, d'une part, d'au moins un bourrelet 35 ou redan 36 disposés sur l'une des faces 37, 38 et à proximité d'un bord vertical 39, 40 de ladite aile 29. D'autre part, ces moyens d'ancrage 31, 33 sont complétés par une rainure 41, 42 solidaire de la coulisse latérale 10 ou du montant 12 et dans laquelle vient s'engager ledit bord vertical 39, 40 de l'aile 29.More specifically, the anchoring means 31, 33, connecting the wing 29 to the lateral slide 10 or to the upright 12 are consisting, on the one hand, of at least one bead 35 or step 36 arranged on one of the faces 37, 38 and near a vertical edge 39, 40 of said wing 29. On the other hand, these means anchoring 31, 33 are completed by a groove 41, 42 integral with the lateral slide 10 or the upright 12 and in which engages said vertical edge 39, 40 of the wing 29.

Cette rainure 41, 42 constitue des moyens de préhension destinés à coopérer avec le bourrelet 35 ou le redan 36 de l'aile 29 afin d'empêcher cette dernière de s'en dégager. A cet effet, ladite rainure 41, 42 est formée de deux parois 43, 44, 45, 46 parallèles respectant un écart entre eux sensiblement égal à l'épaisseur 47 de l'aile 29. De plus, au moins une paroi 43, 45 comporte sur sa face interne, une gorge 48, 49, de forme ajustée au bourrelet 35 ou au redan 36 et dans laquelle vient s'insérer ce dernier.This groove 41, 42 constitutes gripping means intended to cooperate with the bead 35 or the step 36 of the wing 29 in order to prevent the latter from emerging from it. To this end, said groove 41, 42 is formed by two parallel walls 43, 44, 45, 46 respecting a distance between them substantially equal to the thickness 47 of the wing 29. In addition, at least one wall 43, 45 has on its internal face, a groove 48, 49, of form adjusted to the bead 35 or to the step 36 and into which the latter is inserted.

Avantageusement, l'aile 29 comporte toute une série de moyens d'ancrage 31, 33 tels que des bourrelets 35 ou des redans 36, équidistants les uns par rapport aux autres, disposés sur toute la largeur 30 et sur l'une des faces 37, 38 de ladite aile 29. Ceci permet de sectionner, au cours du montage du volet roulant 1, l'aile 29 à la largeur désirée correspondant à l'épaisseur du revêtement isolant 16 choisi, tout en conservant la possibilité de rapporter cette aile 29, par un système d'ancrage sur la coulisse latérale 10 ou sur le montant 12 du dormant 13.Advantageously, the wing 29 comprises a whole series of anchoring means 31, 33 such as beads 35 or steps 36, equidistant from one another, arranged over the entire width 30 and on one of the faces 37 , 38 of said wing 29. This makes it possible to section, during assembly of the shutter 1, the wing 29 at the desired width corresponding to the thickness of the insulating coating 16 chosen, while retaining the possibility of attaching this wing 29 , by an anchoring system on the lateral slide 10 or on the upright 12 of the frame 13.

Préférentiellement, les moyens de fixation à longueur variable 21 sont dédoublés et sont constitués de deux ailes 29 disposées, symétriquement, par rapport à un plan médian vertical 26. Une telle configuration améliore, considérablement, la tenue mécanique des moyens de fixation à longueur variable 21 et l'efficacité des moyens d'ancrage 31, 33, ceux-ci étant également dédoublés au niveau soit de la coulisse latérale 10 soit du montant 12 du dormant 13. Plus précisément, ces moyens d'ancrage 31, 33 sont formés, dans ces conditions, de deux rainures 41, 42 aménagées sur la coulisse latérale 10 ou sur le montant 12 et coopèrent avec les bords verticaux 39, 40 des ailes 29.Preferably, the variable length fastening means 21 are split and consist of two wings 29 arranged, symmetrically, with respect to a vertical median plane 26. Such a configuration considerably improves the mechanical strength of the variable length fastening means 21 and the effectiveness of the anchoring means 31, 33, these being also split at the level of either the lateral slide 10 either of the upright 12 of the frame 13. More specifically, these anchoring means 31, 33 are formed, under these conditions, of two grooves 41, 42 arranged on the lateral slide 10 or on the upright 12 and cooperate with the vertical edges 39, 40 of the wings 29.

Ces rainures 41, 42 peuvent faire partie intégrante de la coulisse latérale 10 ou du montant 12, tel que représenté sur la figure 3. Mais il peut également être envisagé de confectionner un profilé 50 pourvu desdites rainures 41, 42 et rendu solidaire de la coulisse latérale 10 ou du montant 12 grâce à des moyens de fixations tels que vis, rivets ou autres. Cette dernière solution est préconisée plus particulièrement, dans le cadre de moyens d'ancrage 33 appliqués au dormant 13, celui-ci conservant, dans ce cas, une morphologie de type standard.These grooves 41, 42 can be an integral part of the lateral slide 10 or of the upright 12, as shown in FIG. 3. But it can also be envisaged to make a profile 50 provided with said grooves 41, 42 and made integral with the slide lateral 10 or upright 12 by means of fasteners such as screws, rivets or the like. The latter solution is recommended more particularly, in the context of anchoring means 33 applied to the frame 13, the latter retaining, in this case, a standard type morphology.

Avantageusement, les deux ailes 29 formant les moyens de fixation à longueur variable 21 sont issues d'un profilé en forme de "U" 51. De ce fait, ces ailes 29 sont reliées entre elles, par une paroi perpendiculaire 52 contribuant, également à une meilleure tenue mécanique des moyens de fixation à longueur variable 21. De plus, une telle paroi perpendiculaire 52 facilite, considérablement, la liaison entre ces ailes 29 et la coulisse latérale 10 ou le montant 12 du dormant 13 au moyen d'éléments de fixation 32 ou 34.Advantageously, the two wings 29 forming the variable length fixing means 21 come from a "U" shaped section 51. As a result, these wings 29 are connected together, by a perpendicular wall 52 contributing also to better mechanical strength of the variable length fastening means 21. In addition, such a perpendicular wall 52 considerably facilitates the connection between these wings 29 and the lateral slide 10 or the upright 12 of the frame 13 by means of fastening elements 32 or 34.

Les principaux avantages obtenus grâce à cette invention consistent, d'une part, en une standardisation du matériel permettant de réduire l'importance du stockage et d'uniformiser la fabrication. D'autre part, le montage d'un volet roulant muni de coulisses latérales, conformes à l'invention, est, considérablement facilité.The main advantages obtained thanks to this invention consist, on the one hand, in a standardization of the material making it possible to reduce the importance of the storage and to standardize the manufacture. On the other hand, the assembly of a roller shutter provided with lateral slides, in accordance with the invention, is considerably facilitated.
