Description

Cette invention a pour objet un mécanisme de verrouillage d'un store mécanique dans sa boîte. Il a également pour objet un store mécanique équippé d'un tel mécanisme.This invention relates to a mechanism for locking a mechanical blind in its box. It also relates to a mechanical blind equipped with such a mechanism.

Il existe diverses solutions de mécanisme de verrouillage plus au moins coûteuses, telles que par exemple celle décrite dans le brevet FR-A-2612563 dans laquelle des pattes fixées au profilé frontal pénètrent sous la pression de ressorts dans des cavités correspondantes adaptées dans les supports latéraux de la boîte à store, les ressorts étant actionnés au moyen d'un câble indépendant ou relié à la commande de l'enroulement.There are various more or less expensive locking mechanism solutions, such as for example that described in patent FR-A-2612563 in which lugs fixed to the front profile penetrate under the pressure of springs into corresponding cavities adapted in the lateral supports. of the blind box, the springs being actuated by means of an independent cable or connected to the winding control.

Ces mécanismes ne sont pas sans inconvénients, car nécessitent une commande séparée du mécanisme d'enroulement et de déroulement du store.These mechanisms are not without drawbacks, because they require separate control of the winding and unwinding mechanism of the blind.

Le but de l'invention est de fournir un mécanisme de verrouillage automatique lié à l'enroulement ou au déroulement du store.The object of the invention is to provide an automatic locking mechanism linked to the winding or unwinding of the blind.

Le mécanisme de verrouillage suivant l'invention est caractérisé en ce que le profilé frontal du store mécanique comprend un redan auquel correspond un verrou monté dans la boîte à store et commandé par l'arbre lui-même de l'enroulement et déroulement du store.The locking mechanism according to the invention is characterized in that the front profile of the mechanical blind comprises a step to which corresponds a lock mounted in the blind box and controlled by the shaft itself of the winding and unwinding of the blind.

Un store mécanique tel qu'il est représenté en ses divers éléments à la figure 1 est composé d'une boîte (1) à store, d'un rouleau (2) sur lequel est enroulé le store (23) proprement dit, toile ou autre, qui se termine par un profilé frontal (3) qui, lorsque le store est complètement enroulé, est parfaitement adapté à la boîte (1) qui est fermée par ce profil. La commande du rouleau (2) peut être manuelle par une manivelle (4) amovible ou automatique par un moteur électrique, à travers une transmission (24), les bras (5) servant à maintenir le profilé frontal (3) de façon à tendre le store (23) au cours de l'enroulement ou du déroulement.A mechanical blind as shown in its various elements in FIG. 1 is composed of a blind box (1), of a roller (2) on which the blind (23) itself, canvas or another, which ends with a front profile (3) which, when the blind is fully rolled up, is perfectly suited to the box (1) which is closed by this profile. The control of the roller (2) can be manual by a removable crank (4) or automatic by an electric motor, through a transmission (24), the arms (5) serving to hold the front profile (3) so as to stretch the blind (23) during winding or unwinding.

Le profilé frontal (3) est formé d'une cornière (6) dont l'un des côtés se termine par une gouttière cylindrique (7) dans laquelle se loge la tige terminale du store (23) proprement dit et par un plat (8) qui constitue un arrêt lorsque le profilé frontal (3) vient fermer la boîte (1) à store lorsque celui-ci est complètement enroulé (figure 2, 3, 4 et 5).The front profile (3) is formed of an angle iron (6) one of the sides of which ends in a cylindrical gutter (7) in which the terminal rod of the blind (23) itself is housed and in a dish (8 ) which constitutes a stop when the front profile (3) comes to close the blind box (1) when the latter is completely rolled up (Figure 2, 3, 4 and 5).

Dans un store mécanique suivant l'invention, le profilé frontal (3) comprend en outre au fond de la cornière (6) un redan (9) composé d'une pointe angulaire (10) et d'une découpe de préférence rectangulaire (11).In a mechanical blind according to the invention, the front profile (3) further comprises at the bottom of the angle (6) a step (9) composed of an angular point (10) and a preferably rectangular cutout (11 ).

D'autre part dans la boîte (1) à store est fixée à l'une de ces faces latérales une glissière (12) formée d'une part d'un plat (13) relativement court et d'autre part d'un plat (14) de même longueur que le plat (13) mais allongé par un corps angulaire (15) dont les dimensions intérieures correspondent aux dimensions de la pointe angulaire (10) du redan (9) du profilé frontal (3).On the other hand, in the blind box (1) is fixed to one of these lateral faces a slide (12) formed on the one hand of a relatively short dish (13) and on the other of a dish. (14) of the same length as the plate (13) but elongated by an angular body (15) whose internal dimensions correspond to the dimensions of the angular tip (10) of the step (9) of the front profile (3).

Dans la glissière (12) est logée un ressort (16) fixé à la traverse (17) fixe reliant les deux plats (13) et (14) de la glissière (12). A l'autre extrémité du ressort (16) est fixé un doigt (18) faisant corps sous la pression du ressort (16) avec un verrou (19), se terminant à une extrémité par un coin (20) et à l'autre extrémité par un crochet (21) venant à la hauteur du rouleau (2) de store. Ce rouleau (2) de store comporte au moins à une de ses faces latérales un ou plusieurs tétons (22) destinés à la commande automatique du verrouillage et déverrouillage du store mécanique suivant invention lorsque le store est complètement enroulé.In the slide (12) is housed a spring (16) fixed to the fixed crosspiece (17) connecting the two plates (13) and (14) of the slide (12). At the other end of the spring (16) is fixed a finger (18) integral under the pressure of the spring (16) with a latch (19), ending at one end by a corner (20) and at the other end by a hook (21) coming at the height of the roller (2) of blind. This roller (2) of the blind has at least one of its lateral faces one or more pins (22) intended for automatic control of the locking and unlocking of the mechanical blind according to the invention when the blind is fully rolled up.

Lorsqu'on enroule le store (23) (figure 2) autour du rouleau (2) le profilé frontal (3) se rapproche de la boîte (1) à store (suivant la direction des flèches). A la fin de sa course le profilé frontal (3) est guidé dans sa position correcte par des guidages non représentés, de telle sorte que la pointe angulaire (10) du redan (9) du profilé (3) prend une position (voir traits interrompus dans la figure 2) telle que la pointe angulaire (10) possède une face faisant vis-à-vis à une face correspondante du coin (20) et du doigt (18) du verrou (19) du mécanisme de verrouillage suivant l'invention. Dans sa progression terminale la pointe angulaire (10) du redan (9) pousse par son contact avec le coin (20) le verrou (19) vers le haut en comprimant le ressort (16), jusqu'au moment où la pointe angulaire (10) ayant dépassé le coin (20) vient se loger dans le creux du corps angulaire (15) qui prolonge le plat (14) de la glissière (12), tandis que le doigt (18) poussé par le ressort (16) pousse le coin (20) dans la découpe rectangulaire (11) du redan (9) du profilé frontal (3) en assurant ainsi le verrouillage de la boîte (1) à store, fermée par le profilé frontal (3).When wrapping the blind (23) (Figure 2) around the roller (2) the front profile (3) approaches the blind box (1) (in the direction of the arrows). At the end of its travel, the front profile (3) is guided into its correct position by guides, not shown, so that the angular tip (10) of the step (9) of the profile (3) takes a position (see lines interrupted in Figure 2) such that the angular tip (10) has a face facing a corresponding face of the corner (20) and the finger (18) of the latch (19) of the locking mechanism according to invention. In its terminal progression the angular point (10) of the step (9) pushes by its contact with the corner (20) the latch (19) upwards by compressing the spring (16), until the angular point ( 10) having passed the corner (20) is housed in the hollow of the angular body (15) which extends the flat (14) of the slide (12), while the finger (18) pushed by the spring (16) pushes the corner (20) in the rectangular cutout (11) of the step (9) of the front profile (3) thereby ensuring the locking of the blind box (1), closed by the front profile (3).

Dans cette position de verrouillage (fig. 3) le ressort (16) n'est que partiellement détendu, le verrou (19) étant encore légèrement remonté par le redan (9) du profilé frontal (3). De ce fait au moment où commence le déroulement (fig. 4) le crochet (21) du verrou (19) est soulevé par un des tétons (22) fixés au rouleau (2) de store, ce qui permet automatiquement le dégagement du coin (20) en comprimant à nouveau le ressort (16), permettant ainsi à la pointe angulaire (10) du redan (9) de se dégager du corps angulaire (15), et au profilé frontal (3) de se détacher de la boîte (1) de store sous l'action de son propre poids ou sous l'action des bras (5). Dès que la pointe angulaire (10) est dégagée, le coin (20) sous l'action du ressort (16) reprend sa position initiale (figure 2), abaissant simultanément le crochet (21) du verrou (19), laissant ainsi le passage libre aux tétons (22) du rouleau (2), permettant en même temps la continuation du déroulement du rouleau (2).In this locking position (fig. 3) the spring (16) is only partially relaxed, the lock (19) still being slightly raised by the step (9) of the front profile (3). Therefore when the unwinding begins (fig. 4) the hook (21) of the latch (19) is lifted by one of the pins (22) fixed to the roller (2) of blind, which automatically allows the release of the corner (20) by again compressing the spring (16), thus allowing the angular point (10) of the step (9) to disengage from the angular body (15), and the front profile (3) to detach from the box (1) blind under the action of its own weight or under the action arms (5). As soon as the angular tip (10) is released, the wedge (20) under the action of the spring (16) returns to its initial position (Figure 2), simultaneously lowering the hook (21) of the latch (19), thus leaving the free passage to the pins (22) of the roller (2), allowing at the same time the continuation of the unwinding of the roller (2).

La position des tétons (22) sur la face du rouleau (2), la position sur le rouleau (2) de la liaison entre le store (23) et le rouleau (2) et la longueur du store (23) sont telles que les tétons (22) ne font pas obstacle au verrouillage du profilé frontal (3) en empêchant le verrou (19) d'être poussé vers le haut par le redan (9) de profilé frontal. La position des tétons (22) sur la face du rouleau (2), la position sur le rouleau (2) de la liaison entre le store (23) et le rouleau (2) et la longueur du store (23) sont aussi telles que le rouleau (2) doit être déroulé à travers un certain angle, par exemple 90°, avant qu'un téton (22) puisse soulever le crochet (21). Puisque un quart de tour du rouleau (2), en fonction du rapport de transmission de la transmission (24), correspond par exemple avec trois tours de la manivelle (4), on peut contrôler le verrouillage du profilé frontal (3) après avoir complètement enroulé le store (23). Il suffit de tourner la manivelle (4) dans la direction du déroulement au moyen de maximum deux tours pour pouvoir constater si la boîte à store (1) reste bien fermée.The position of the pins (22) on the face of the roller (2), the position on the roller (2) of the connection between the blind (23) and the roller (2) and the length of the blind (23) are such that the pins (22) do not prevent the locking of the front profile (3) by preventing the latch (19) from being pushed up by the step (9) of the front profile. The position of the pins (22) on the face of the roller (2), the position on the roller (2) of the connection between the blind (23) and the roller (2) and the length of the blind (23) are also such that the roller (2) must be unwound through a certain angle, for example 90 °, before a stud (22) can lift the hook (21). Since a quarter turn of the roller (2), depending on the transmission ratio of the transmission (24), corresponds for example with three turns of the crank (4), we can check the locking of the front profile (3) after completely rolled up the blind (23) It suffices to turn the crank (4) in the direction of unwinding by means of a maximum of two turns to be able to ascertain whether the blind box (1) remains properly closed.

Il va de soi que le mécanisme de verrouillage suivant l'invention peut être prévu à un ou deux côtés de la boîte à store (1) et éventuellement quelque part au milieu de la boîte à store (1) quand le store (23) est localement interrompu pour une raison ou autre.It goes without saying that the locking mechanism according to the invention can be provided on one or two sides of the blind box (1) and possibly somewhere in the middle of the blind box (1) when the blind (23) is locally interrupted for some reason or other.
