Description

La présente invention est une porte coulissante à plusieurs vantaux dont un vantail ouvert peut être placé devant un vantail fermé.The present invention is a sliding door with several leaves, an open leaf of which can be placed in front of a closed leaf.

Les brevets français FR-A-2053406, FR-A-2126621, FR-A-2438728, FR-A-2475615, FR-A-2420443 et les certificats d'addition français FR-A-2250011 et européen EP-A-0156698 décrivent des portes ou parties de portes coulissantes dans lesquelles il subsiste des difficultés d'emplois: efforts importants nécessaires pour manoeuvrer les portes lourdes et hautes, détérioration prématurée des roulettes qui subissent des ripages, encombrement des systèmes de guidage et, sur les véhicules subissant des variations géométriques, discontinuités de l'isolation thermique, de l'étanchéité à l'air et à l'eau.French patents FR-A-2053406, FR-A-2126621, FR-A-2438728, FR-A-2475615, FR-A-2420443 and French addition certificates FR-A-2250011 and European EP-A- 0156698 describe sliding doors or parts of doors in which there are still employment difficulties: significant efforts necessary to operate heavy and high doors, premature deterioration of the rollers which are subject to shifting, congestion of the guidance systems and, on the vehicles undergoing geometric variations, discontinuities in thermal insulation, air and water tightness.

Il a également été proposé par le document EP-A-201717 des portes destinées à être verticales à la fois dans leur position ouverte et dans la position fermée et qui sont reliées à cet effet aux organes de coulissement qui leur sont associés par des moyens de liaison se déployant à la fois en partie haute et en partie basse de l'huisserie. Néanmoins, les structures de portes proposées dans ce document EP-201717 seraient de réalisation difficile pour des portes de dimensions importantes: les moyens de liaison entre les organes de coulissement et le vantail y seraient en effet fort sollicités. Egalement, ces portes seraient d'un maniement peu aisé.It has also been proposed by document EP-A-201717 doors intended to be vertical both in their open position and in the closed position and which are connected for this purpose to the sliding members which are associated with them by means of link deploying both at the top and bottom of the frame. Nevertheless, the door structures proposed in this document EP-201717 would be difficult to produce for doors of large dimensions: the means of connection between the sliding members and the leaf would indeed be in great demand there. Also, these doors would be difficult to handle.

Nous allons décrire la présente invention: porte fermée, tous les vantaux sont situés dans le même plan, dit plan de fermeture, contre l'huisserie. La première phase d'ouverture consiste en un déplacement qui écarte le vantail de son huisserie et le place dans un autre plan dit plan d'ouverture ou de roulage, situé parallèlement au plan de fermeture. La seconde phase d'ouverture consiste en un déplacement du vantail dans le plan d'ouverture, ce qui permet de dégager le passage en plaçant le vantail ouvert au droit d'un vantail fermé.We will describe the present invention: closed door, all the leaves are located in the same plane, called the closing plane, against the frame. The first opening phase consists of a movement which separates the leaf from its frame and places it in another plane called the opening plane or running, located parallel to the closure plane. The second opening phase consists of a movement of the leaf in the opening plane, which makes it possible to clear the passage by placing the open leaf in line with a closed leaf.

Afin de clarifier le texte qui va suivre on a arbitrairement considéré qu'un vantail fermé est situé à l'intérieur et réciproquement qu'un vantail ouvert est situé à l'extérieur.In order to clarify the text which follows, we arbitrarily considered that a closed leaf is located inside and conversely that an open leaf is located outside.

De plus, entre le plan de fermeture intérieur et le plan d'ouverture extérieur, un déplacement de l'un à l'autre est dit latéral. Un déplacement dans le plan d'ouverture est dit longitudinal.In addition, between the interior closing plane and the exterior opening plane, a displacement from one to the other is said to be lateral. A displacement in the opening plane is said to be longitudinal.

L'unique rail inférieur ne comporte pas de courbe ni d'alvéole ni de proéminence, il est rectiligne et sa section est réduite à la largeur nécessaire pour permettre le croisement de deux roulettes l'une liée au vantail fermé et l'autre liée au vantail ouvert circulant dans le plan de roulage.The single lower rail does not have a curve or a cell or a prominence, it is straight and its section is reduced to the width necessary to allow the crossing of two rollers, one linked to the closed leaf and the other linked to the open leaf circulating in the rolling plane.

Un vantail comporte deux roulettes qui lui sont reliées en partie basse par un dispositif mécanique. Les roulettes sont déportées vers l'intérieur, par rapport au plan principal du vantail, d'une distance variable. La variation est permise par le mécanisme de liaison suivant que le vantail est poussé latéralement vers l'intérieur ou tiré vers l'extérieur au cours des manoeuvres.A leaf has two rollers which are connected to it at the bottom by a mechanical device. The rollers are offset inwards, relative to the main plane of the leaf, by a variable distance. The variation is allowed by the connecting mechanism depending on whether the leaf is pushed laterally inward or pulled outward during the maneuvers.

L'huisserie comporte des points d'appui fixes destinés à supporter la partie basse du vantail fermé. Ces points d'appuis sont disposés de telle façon que le vantail se trouve alors légèrement levé pour que ses roulettes ne prennent plus appui sur le rail inférieur. Ces points d'appuis sont également disposés pour que le vantail se trouve en état de déséquilibre dirigé vers l'intérieur.The frame has fixed support points intended to support the lower part of the closed leaf. These support points are arranged in such a way that the leaf is then slightly raised so that its rollers no longer bear on the lower rail. These support points are also arranged so that the leaf is in a state of imbalance directed inward.

Quand le vantail est en position extérieure, le mécanisme de liaison de chaque roulette est déployé et le vantail se trouve alors être largement déporté vers l'extérieur par rapport aux points de contact des roulettes avec le rail. Le vantail est donc déséquilibré vers l'extérieur.When the leaf is in the external position, the connecting mechanism of each caster is deployed and the leaf is then largely offset to the outside relative to the points of contact of the rollers with the rail. The leaf is therefore unbalanced towards the outside.

Lorsque l'on pousse le vantail vers l'intérieur, la liaison mécanique de chaque roulette se raccourcit simultanément, le bas du vantail s'engage sur les appuis fixes et les roulettes perdent appui. Le vantail se déplace encore un peu sur les appuis fixes et de façon simultanée les roulettes se déplacent alors latéralement sans toucher le rail donc sans riper.When the leaf is pushed inward, the mechanical connection of each caster is shortened simultaneously, the bottom of the leaf engages on the fixed supports and the casters lose support. The leaf moves a little more on the fixed supports and simultaneously the rollers move laterally without touching the rail so without ripping.

Lorsque le vantail arrive dans le plan de fermeture, il prend l'état de déséquilibre dirigé vers l'intérieur.When the leaf arrives in the closing plane, it assumes the state of imbalance directed inwards.

Ainsi, la partie haute du vantail est sollicitée du côté intérieur ou du côté extérieur favorablement à la manoeuvre effectuée.Thus, the upper part of the leaf is biased on the inner side or the outer side favorably during the maneuver carried out.

La partie haute du vantail comprend un ou plusieurs dispositifs de guidage. Chaque dispositif de guidage supérieur comprend un support lié au vantail, un bras et une bielle dont les extrémités sont liées au support par des articulations dont les axes sont verticaux, ce bras et la bielle pouvant se loger à l'intérieur de leur support constitue une triangulation une fois déployé.The upper part of the leaf comprises one or more guide devices. Each upper guide device comprises a support linked to the leaf, an arm and a connecting rod whose ends are linked to the support by articulations whose axes are vertical, this arm and the connecting rod being able to be housed inside their support constitutes a triangulation once deployed.

L'autre extrémité du bras opposé à l'articulation comporte un prolongement vertical dudit doigt. Ce doigt est engagé dans la partie supérieure de l'huisserie dont la face interne coopère avec le doigt de guidage du vantail ouvert. Une certaine pression du doigt sur la face interne de guidage est assurée par l'état de déséquilibre, vers l'extérieur, du vantail ouvert.The other end of the arm opposite the joint has a vertical extension of said finger. This finger is engaged in the upper part of the frame, the internal face of which cooperates with the guide finger of the open leaf. A certain pressure of the finger on the internal guide face is ensured by the state of imbalance, towards the outside, of the open leaf.

Cette pression assure ainsi le déploiement du bras et de la bielle de guidage supérieure, ce qui correspond à la position verticale du vantail ouvert.This pressure thus ensures the deployment of the arm and of the upper guide rod, which corresponds to the vertical position of the open leaf.

Pendant la phase de roulage, les mouvements du doigt, résultant des déplacements latéraux accidentels du vantail mal conduit en cours de roulage, sont limités par un prolongement situé en partie supérieure des vantaux restés fermés. Ce prolongement n'est actif que dans cette configuration. Une des faces du support de bras est placée dans le même plan que celui de la partie haute du vantail et assure ainsi la continuité du guidage du doigt.During the rolling phase, the movements of the finger, resulting from the accidental lateral displacements of the door leaf which is mishandled during rolling, are limited by an extension situated in the upper part of the leaves which remain closed. This extension is only active in this configuration. One of the faces of the arm support is placed in the same plane as that of the upper part of the leaf and thus ensures continuity of the guiding of the finger.

La manoeuvre de fermeture ayant pour effet de mouvoir le vantail de la position extérieure à la position intérieure engendre une poussée de la partie haute du vantail vers l'intérieur. C'est-à-dire que l'extrémité du bras, par le doigt qui le prolonge, entre en contact avec la face de l'huisserie. La poussée ainsi produite a pour effet de faire pivoter le bras et la bielle autour de leur axe vertical respectif. Le bras et la bielle de guidage s'effacent et se placent dans le plan du vantail alors fermé. Cet effacement du bras peut ne pas être total, il est lié à la distance résiduelle qui subsiste entre le vantail fermé et l'huisserie et qui dépend des joints horizontaux ne rentrant pas dans le cadre de la présente invention.The closing operation having the effect of moving the leaf from the external position to the internal position generates a thrust from the upper part of the leaf towards the interior. That is to say that the end of the arm, by the finger which extends it, comes into contact with the face of the frame. The thrust thus produced has the effect of rotating the arm and the connecting rod about their respective vertical axis. The arm and the connecting rod are erased and are placed in the plane of the leaf then closed. This erasure of the arm may not be total, it is linked to the residual distance which remains between the closed leaf and the frame and which depends on the horizontal seals not within the scope of the present invention.

Les jointements verticaux, revendiqués dans la présente invention, sont différents d'un côté à l'autre de chaque vantail.The vertical joints, claimed in the present invention, are different from one side to the other of each leaf.

Un des côtés, dit avant, comporte un dispositif de jointement en forme de languette qui coopère avec une rainure ménagée dans l'huisserie.One of the sides, said before, has a tongue-shaped joining device which cooperates with a groove made in the frame.

La languette située dans le prolongement du vantail, et dans son plan principal, comporte en son extrémité un renflement cylindrique. La rainure ménagée dans le montant d'huisserie a son ouverture orientée vers l'autre montant. La profondeur de la rainure permet de recevoir la languette avec son renflement cylindrique, la laissant libre de coulisser et de tourner partiellement. Des volumes libres, aménagés de part et d'autre de la languette, ainsi qu'au fond de la rainure, permettent de recevoir des joints à grand débattement.The tongue located in the extension of the leaf, and in its main plane, has at its end a cylindrical bulge. The groove in the frame upright has its opening facing the other upright. The depth of the groove makes it possible to receive the tongue with its cylindrical bulge, leaving it free to slide and to partially rotate. Free volumes, arranged on either side of the tongue, as well as at the bottom of the groove, make it possible to receive joints with large clearance.

L'autre montant, dit arrière , du vantail est équipé d'un système de deux feuillures. Cette disposition est prévue, de façon symétrique sur le montant d'huisserie ou sur le montant arrière d'un autre vantail qui est fermé et donc situé dans le plan de fermeture.The other, called rear, amount of the leaf is equipped with a system of two rebates. This arrangement is provided symmetrically on the frame upright or on the rear upright of another leaf which is closed and therefore situated in the closing plane.

La fermeture du vantail s'effectue en engageant dans le premier temps la languette dans la rainure. Dans cette configuration le vantail se trouve alors légèrement oblique. Le vantail est alors en mesure de pivoter autour de l'axe vertical du renflement de la languette, ceci à la façon d'une porte battante ordinaire pivotant autour de l'axe de ses gonds. De cette façon le second montant de vantail équipé de feuillures peut être poussé vers l'intérieur dans le sens de la fermeture jusqu'à ce qu'il rencontre sa contrepartie située dans le plan de fermeture.The leaf is closed by first engaging the tongue in the groove. In this configuration the leaf is then slightly oblique. The leaf is then able to pivot around the vertical axis of the bulge of the tongue, this in the manner of an ordinary hinged door pivoting around the axis of its hinges. In this way the second leaf amount equipped with rebates can be pushed inward in the closing direction until it meets its counterpart located in the closing plane.

Cette feuillure reçoit un joint sensiblement ondulé qui assure l'étanchéité par plusieurs génératrices de contacts.This rebate receives a substantially corrugated seal which seals by several contact generators.

Pour fermer, il faut procéder à un déplacement latéral du vantail côté languette qui résulte de la combinaison des mouvements latéraux permis par ce dispositif de liaison de la roulette au vantail et par le déplacement du vantail sur son appui avec un mouvement longitudinal permettant d'engager la languette dans la rainure. Le déplacement de l'autre côté du vantail nécessaire pour croiser les feuilles est obtenu par le déplacement latéral autorisé par le dispositif de liaison et l'appui. Les mouvements effectués dans l'ordre inversé correspondent à l'ouverture.To close, it is necessary to carry out a lateral movement of the leaf on the tongue side which results from the combination of the lateral movements allowed by this device for connecting the caster to the leaf and by moving the leaf on its support with a longitudinal movement to engage the tongue in the groove. The displacement on the other side of the leaf necessary to cross the sheets is obtained by the lateral displacement authorized by the connecting device and the support. The movements performed in reverse order correspond to the opening.

La présente invention a donc pour objet une porte comportant au moins un vantail mobile apte à se déplacer entre une position de fermeture où ledit vantail est en place dans son huisserie et une position ouverte où ledit vantail est effacé par rapport à sa position de fermeture et se trouve dans un plan extérieur décalé par rapport au plan intérieur de fermeture, ledit vantail passant de l'une à l'autre de ces deux positions par déplacement latéral de l'un à l'autre du plan de fermeture et du plan d'ouverture et coulissement dans le plan d'ouverture, le bas dudit vantail étant muni d'au moins un organe de coulissement associé à un rail de guidage inférieur complémentaire, le haut dudit vantail étant également associé à des moyens supérieurs de guidage et de maintien dudit vantail par rapport à l'huisserie, la position ouverte et la position fermée du vantail étant deux positions sensiblement verticales, la partie basse du vantail étant portée en position ouverte par le ou lesdits organes de coulissement dont les moyens de liaison au bas du vantail sont déployés et en butée, caractérisée en ce que la partie basse du vantail est portée en position fermée, par des moyens d'appui sur la partie basse de l'huisserie et en ce que ledit vantail est, en positions ouverte et fermée déséquilibré respectivement vers l'extérieur et vers l'intérieur, la partie haute du vantail étant maintenue, dans cette position déséquilibrée, par appui des moyens supérieurs de guidage sur des parois de la partie haute de l'huisserie.The present invention therefore relates to a door comprising at least one movable leaf capable of moving between a closed position where said leaf is in place in its frame and an open position where said leaf is erased relative to its closed position and is in an outer plane offset from the inner closing plane, said leaf passing from one to the other of these two positions by lateral displacement from one to the other of the closing plane and of the plane of opening and sliding in the opening plane, the bottom of said leaf being provided with at least one sliding member associated with a complementary lower guide rail, the top of said leaf also being associated with upper means for guiding and holding said leaf relative to the frame, the open position and the closed position of the leaf being two substantially vertical positions, the lower part of the leaf being brought into position o open by the said sliding member (s), the connecting means of which at the bottom of the leaf are deployed and in abutment, characterized in that the lower part of the leaf is brought to the closed position, by means of support on the lower part of the frame and in that said leaf is unbalanced in the open and closed positions respectively outward and inward, the upper part of the leaf being maintained, in this unbalanced position, by support of the upper guide means on the walls of the upper part of the frame.

Avantageusement, les moyens de liaison d'un organe de coulissement au bas d'un vantail comprennent des biellettes articulées par rapport audit vantail et à l'organe de coulissement de façon à réaliser un parallélogramme déformable, les axes d'articulation étant des axes sensiblement horizontaux et parallèles au plan du vantail, de sorte que les positions ouverte et fermée du vantail sont des positions de déséquilibre stable.Advantageously, the means for connecting a sliding member at the bottom of a leaf comprise connecting rods articulated with respect to said leaf and to the sliding member so as to produce a deformable parallelogram, the articulation axes being axes substantially horizontal and parallel to the leaf plane, so that the open and closed positions of the leaf are positions of stable imbalance.

De préférence, ledit vantail est, en position d'ouverture, en appui sur le (ou les) organe(s) de coulissement disposé(s) du côté intérieur par rapport au plan principal du vantail, de sorte que le déséquilibre ainsi provoqué assure l'appui de ses moyens supérieurs de guidage et de maintien sur une paroi de la partie haute de l'huisserie. Avantageusement, les susdits moyens de guidage et de maintien comportent au moins un bras articulé vers l'une de ses extrémités sur le haut du vantail en pivotement autour d'un axe sensiblement vertical, ledit bras étant muni à son autre extrémité d'un prolongement en saillie par rapport audit bras vers le haut de l'huisserie et destiné à venir en appui sur la susdite paroi de l'huisserie, ledit bras étant apte à pivoter entre une position où il se trouve sensiblement effacé par rapport à son vantail et une position ouverte oblique par rapport au plan du vantail vers l'intérieur de l'huisserie, au niveau de laquelle ledit bras est bloqué dans son pivotement par l'intermédiaire de moyens de butée extrêmes.Preferably, said leaf is, in the open position, bearing on the sliding member (s) disposed on the inner side relative to the main plane of the leaf, so that the imbalance thus caused ensures the support of its upper guiding and holding means on a wall of the upper part of the frame. Advantageously, the abovementioned guiding and holding means comprise at least one arm articulated towards one of its ends on the top of the leaf in pivoting about a substantially vertical axis, said arm being provided at its other end with an extension. projecting from said arm towards the top of the frame and intended to come to bear on the above-mentioned wall of the frame, said arm being able to pivot between a position where it is substantially obliterated relative to its leaf and a oblique open position relative to the plane of the leaf towards the interior of the frame, at which said arm is locked in its pivoting by means of extreme abutment means.

De préférence, les moyens de butée extrêmes comportent une biellette montée en pivotement par rapport au vantail selon un axe sensiblement parallèle à l'axe de pivotement du susdit bras, l'un dudit bras ou de ladite biellette étant muni d'une rainure s'étendant partiellement sur sa longueur, l'autre étant munie d'un axe ou téton complémentaire coopérant avec ladite rainure de sorte que lors du pivotement dudit bras, ledit téton coulisse dans ladite rainure et entraîne ladite biellette en pivotement, le pivotement dudit bras se trouvant limité par butée dudit téton sur les parois d'extrémité de ladite rainure. Avantageusement un bras est monté en pivotement autour de son axe sur un support ayant une section droite en forme de U dont la partie ouverte est dirigée vers l'intérieur de l'huisserie, le fond dudit support étant sensiblement parallèle au plan du vantail, ledit support recevant le bras dans sa position effacée, sa branche supérieure étant munie d'une encoche dans laquelle se loge le prolongement associé audit bras.Preferably, the extreme abutment means comprise a link pivotally mounted relative to the leaf along an axis substantially parallel to the pivot axis of the above-mentioned arm, one of said arm or of said link being provided with a groove extending partially over its length, the other being provided with a complementary pin or stud cooperating with said groove so that during the pivoting of said arm, said stud slides in said groove and drives said link in pivoting, the pivoting of said arm being limited by abutment of said stud on the end walls of said groove. Advantageously, an arm is pivotally mounted about its axis on a support having a U-shaped cross section, the open part of which is directed towards the interior of the frame, the bottom of said support being substantially parallel to the plane of the leaf, said support receiving the arm in its retracted position, its upper branch being provided with a notch in which the extension associated with said arm is housed.

De façon avantageuse encore, la paroi de l'huisserie sur laquelle s'appuie un vantail par l'intermédiaire de ses moyens supérieurs de guidage et de maintien en position d'ouverture, est munie, au moins partiellement sur une de ses longueurs, d'un relief en forme de crochet dirigé vers le haut, qui coopère avec une entaille en forme de crochet dirigée vers le bas, dont est muni le prolongement, le maximum de correspondance entre le relief et une entaille étant obtenu lorsque le bras portant le prolongement de ladite entaille est dans sa position extrême ouverte par rapport à son vantail.Advantageously also, the wall of the frame on which a leaf rests by means of its upper means for guiding and holding in the open position, is provided, at least partially over one of its lengths, d '' a hook-shaped relief directed upwards, which cooperates with a hook-shaped notch directed downwards, with which the extension is provided, the maximum correspondence between the relief and a notch being obtained when the arm carrying the extension of said notch is in its extreme open position relative to its leaf.

Un élément coulissant est, de préférence, une roulette de guidage supportant le vantail sur laquelle le rail de guidage inférieur et l'huisserie autorisent le croisement de deux vantaux mobiles; l'huisserie comporte, en sa partie inférieure, des appuis destinés à porter un vantail en position de fermeture, les roulettes n'étant alors plus sollicitées par le vantail.A sliding element is preferably a guide roller supporting the leaf on which the lower guide rail and the door frame authorize the crossing of two mobile leaves; the frame includes, in its lower part, supports intended to carry a leaf in the closed position, the rollers then no longer being stressed by the leaf.

Avantageusement encore, la porte comporte aussi des moyens d'étanchéité entre deux vantaux destinés à être dans le prolongement l'un de l'autre en position de fermeture et/ou entre un vantail et l'huisserie, ces moyens d'étanchéité comportant une languette s'étendant dans l'épaisseur de l'huisserie ou d'un vantail sur au moins une partie de sa hauteur, l'extrémité de ladite languette étant sensiblement protubérante et étant destinée à coopérer avec une rainure complémentaire dont est munie selon le cas le vantail ou l'huisserie complémentaire, lesdits moyens d'étanchéité comportant également des joints à grand débattement en contact avec les épaisseurs en regard des vantaux ou d'un vantail et de l'huisserie.Advantageously also, the door also comprises sealing means between two leaves intended to be in the extension of one another in the closed position and / or between a leaf and the frame, these sealing means comprising a tongue extending in the thickness of the frame or a leaf over at least part of its height, the end of said tongue being substantially protruding and being intended to cooperate with a complementary groove which is provided as appropriate the leaf or the complementary door frame, said sealing means also comprising joints with large clearance in contact with the thicknesses facing the leaves or a door leaf and the door frame.

Un prolongement peut encore être relié à la partie haute du vantail par une liaison à parallélogramme déformable similaire ou identique à une liaison du type à parallélogramme déformable entre un organe de coulissement et le bas dudit vantail.An extension can also be connected to the upper part of the leaf by a deformable parallelogram linkage similar or identical to a connection of the deformable parallelogram type between a sliding member and the bottom of said leaf.

La Figure 1 planche I représente un vantail ouvert au droit duquel se trouve un vantail fermé.Figure 1 plate I represents an open leaf to the right of which is a closed leaf.

Dans les explications suivantes le vantail est considéré, suivant les besoins des descriptions, comme provenant du déplacement latéral du vantail à la position vantail fermé ou comme un vantail fermé en permanence devant lequel évolue un autre vantail venu dans le plan de roulage.In the following explanations the leaf is considered, according to the needs of the descriptions, as coming from the lateral displacement of the leaf in the closed leaf position or as a permanently closed leaf in front of which another leaf comes in the rolling plane.

Pour bien montrer les équivalences on a, sur la Figure 1, représenté la fonction de liaison des deux roulettes par deux systèmes différents: la roulette (2) est liée au vantail (04) par le système représenté Figures 4 et 4bis planche III, la roulette (3) est liée au vantail (04) par le système représenté Figure 2 planche II.To clearly show the equivalences, we have shown in Figure 1 the connection function of the two rollers by two different systems: the roller (2) is linked to the leaf (04) by the system shown in Figures 4 and 4bis plate III, the caster (3) is linked to the leaf (04) by the system shown in Figure 2 plate II.

La roulette (2) est reliée au vantail (04) par un parallélogramme déformable composé d'une chape (9), de deux biellettes (11d,11c), reliées respectivement à la chape (9) par les axes (10a, 10b) et à la chape (8) par les axes (10f, 10d). La chape (8) est liée au vantail (04) et la chape (9) supporte la roulette (2) par l'axe (10). On voit Figure 4bis planche III, que pour des raisons de robustesse les biellettes (lla) et (llb) doublent les biellettes (llc) et (lld), les axes (10g) et (10h) sont respectivement coaxiaux avec les axes (10a) et (10f).The caster (2) is connected to the leaf (04) by a deformable parallelogram composed of a yoke (9), two links (11d, 11c), connected respectively to the yoke (9) by the axes (10a, 10b) and to the yoke (8) by the axes (10f, 10d). The yoke (8) is linked to the leaf (04) and the yoke (9) supports the caster (2) by the axis (10). We see Figure 4bis plate III, that for reasons of robustness the links (lla) and (llb) double the links (llc) and (lld), the axes (10g) and (10h) are respectively coaxial with the axes (10a) and (10f).

La roulette (3) Figure 1 est représentée liée au vantail (04) par l'intermédiaire d'un axe (5) relié à la partie mâle (6) d'une coulisse coopérant avec la partie femelle (7).The roller (3) Figure 1 is shown linked to the leaf (04) via a pin (5) connected to the male part (6) of a slide cooperating with the female part (7).

Le vantail (04) repose sur le rail (1) par l'intermédiaire des roulettes (2 et 3). Il est donc déséquilibré vers l'extérieur, la partie haute tend à s'écarter de l'huisserie. Le vantail (04) est maintenu, en partie haute, dans la position verticale par l'action des bras (18) dont l'extrémité (19) prend appui sur la face (15) de guidage liée à l'huisserie (5). Le bras (18), articulé autour de l'axe (17) vertical, est sorti de son support (16) en formant un angle avec le plan principal du vantail (04). Cet angle peut être limité de façon décrite plus loin. Le vantail (04) peut ainsi être déplacé en roulant sur ses roulettes (2, 3) tout en étant maintenu vertical en partie haute par le prolongement (19) qui coopère avec la face (15).The leaf (04) rests on the rail (1) by means of the rollers (2 and 3). It is therefore unbalanced towards the outside, the upper part tends to deviate from the frame. The leaf (04) is held, in the upper part, in the vertical position by the action of the arms (18) whose end (19) is supported on the guide face (15) linked to the frame (5) . The arm (18), articulated around the vertical axis (17), has come out of its support (16) at an angle with the main plane of the leaf (04). This angle can be limited as described below. The leaf (04) can thus be moved by rolling on its rollers (2, 3) while being kept vertical in the upper part by the extension (19) which cooperates with the face (15).

Le support (16) est lié au vantail (04) de telle façon que la face (14a) soit coplanaire avec la face (14b) faisant partie du vantail. De la même façon le vantail fermé (F4) présente une face continue (14c, 14d). Ce qui assure au prolongement (19) une circulation sans obstacle, ceci, dans l'éventualité où le vantail (04) subirait une poussée capable de compenser le déséquilibre fonctionnel de la position vantail ouvert.The support (16) is linked to the leaf (04) so that the face (14a) is coplanar with the face (14b) forming part of the leaf. In the same way, the closed leaf (F4) has a continuous face (14c, 14d). This ensures that the extension (19) circulates without obstacle, this in the event that the leaf (04) undergoes a thrust capable of compensating for the functional imbalance of the open leaf position.

Le vantail fermé (F4) repose sur des appuis (26) par l'intermédiaire de rampes (25) liées en partie basse au vantail (F4). Dans cette position la partie haute du vantail fermé (F4) est déséquilibrée vers l'intérieur et tend à se rapprocher de l'huisserie (5). De ce fait le prolongement (19a) prend appui sur la face (5a) de l'huisserie (5).The closed leaf (F4) rests on supports (26) by means of ramps (25) linked in the lower part to the leaf (F4). In this position the upper part of the closed leaf (F4) is unbalanced inward and tends to approach the frame (5). Therefore the extension (19a) is supported on the face (5a) of the frame (5).

Ceci a pour effet de maintenir le bras (18a) pouvant pivoter autour de l'axe (17a), emboîté dans le support (16a) qui est en forme de U. Le prolongement (19a) s'emboîte simultanément dans le dégagement (20a) du support (16a).This has the effect of maintaining the arm (18a) which can pivot around the axis (17a), fitted into the support (16a) which is U-shaped. The extension (19a) is simultaneously engaged in the clearance (20a ) of the support (16a).

La planche II Figure 2 montre que la liaison mécanique entre la roulette (3a) et le vantail (04) symbolisée ici par une coulisse mâle (6) qui se déplace dans la partie femelle (7) permet, sous la poussée (P+) de réduire la distance (D1) à une valeur (D2). On voit que la différence d = D1 - D2 représente la course de la coulisse. Ce qui permet Figure 3 à la rampe (25) liée au vantail (F4) de venir s'engager sur l'appui (26). La roulette n'est, alors plus chargée. Le déplacement latéral depuis la position de roulette (3a) jusqu'à la position occupée par la roulette (3b) a pour valeur (E). Ce déplacement s'effectue seulement lorsque la rampe (25) et l'appui (26) coopèrent et que la roulette (3b) n'est plus en appui sur le rail (1). Le ripage de la roulette est ainsi évité. Le déplacement total latéral entre la position du vantail (04) et celle du vantail (F4) est donc égal à : d + E. Au cours du déplacement total ainsi obtenu par la poussée (P+) appliquée sur la face extérieure du vantail (04), les appuis changent de côté par rapport à la projection verticale du centre de gravité du vantail complet, la partie haute du vantail (F4) tend à se rapprocher de l'huisserie (5) donc dans le même sens que l'action (P+) l'action d'ouverture (P-) produit l'effet contraire.Plate II Figure 2 shows that the mechanical connection between the caster (3a) and the leaf (04) symbolized here by a male slide (6) which moves in the female part (7) allows, under the thrust (P +) reduce the distance (D1) to a value (D2). We see that the difference d = D1 - D2 represents the travel of the slide. This allows Figure 3 to the ramp (25) linked to the leaf (F4) to engage on the support (26). The roulette wheel is no longer loaded. The lateral displacement from the caster position (3a) to the position occupied by the caster (3b) has the value (E). This movement takes place only when the ramp (25) and the support (26) cooperate and the caster (3b) is no longer resting on the rail (1). The shifting of the roulette wheel is thus avoided. The total lateral displacement between the position of the leaf (04) and that of the leaf (F4) is therefore equal to: d + E. During the total displacement thus obtained by the thrust (P +) applied to the external face of the leaf (04 ), the supports change sides with respect to the vertical projection of the center of gravity of the complete leaf, the upper part of the leaf (F4) tends to approach the frame (5) so in the same direction as the action (P +) the opening action (P-) produces the opposite effect.

La planche III Figures 4 et 4bis montre une réalisation par parallélogramme déformable spécifique de la présente invention pour assurer respectivement la liaison entre la roulette (2a) ou (2b) et le vantail (04) représenté en position ouverte ou (F4) représenté en position fermée. La roulette (2a) est liée en rotation autour de l'axe (10) avec la pièce d'articulation (9). Le vantail (04) comporte aussi une pièce d'articulation (8) en correspondance avec la précédente (9). La disposition relative des pièces d'articulation (8 et 9) et des lignes de trous d'axes (10a, 10b, 10f, 10d) est telle que l'inclinaison générale de l'ordre de 45° permet à la roulette (2a), en position pour circuler dans le rail (1), dans la rainure (1b) de passer sous la pièce d'articulation (9a) relative à la position fermée. Le rail (1) peut être ainsi réduit à une largeur minimale en limitant la distance entre la face (33) et la face (34) au minimum nécessaire pour laisser circuler la roulette (2a) et la partie de pièce d'articulation (9) nécessaire.Plate III Figures 4 and 4bis shows an embodiment by specific deformable parallelogram of the present invention for respectively ensuring the connection between the caster (2a) or (2b) and the leaf (04) shown in the open position or (F4) shown in the position closed. The roller (2a) is linked in rotation about the axis (10) with the articulation piece (9). The leaf (04) also includes an articulation piece (8) corresponding to the previous one (9). The relative arrangement of the articulation pieces (8 and 9) and the lines of axis holes (10a, 10b, 10f, 10d) is such that the general inclination of the order of 45 ° allows the caster (2a ), in position to circulate in the rail (1), in the groove (1b) to pass under the articulation piece (9a) relating to the closed position. The rail (1) can thus be reduced to a minimum width by limiting the distance between the face (33) and the face (34) to the minimum necessary to allow the wheel (2a) and the articulation part part (9) to circulate. ) necessary.

Un jeu de deux biellettes (11a, 11d) coopère avec les pièces d'articulation (8 et 9) respectivement par l'intermédiaire des axes (10h et 10f) coaxiaux entre eux et les axes (10g et 10a) également coaxiaux entre eux, les axes (10b et 10d) relient les pièces (9 et 8) à un second jeu de biellettes (11b et 11c), les logements (41, 42) tels que ceux aménagés dans les pièces d'articulation (8 et 9) constituent des volumes disponibles exclusifs pour chacune des biellettes (11a, 11b, 11c et 11d) qui peuvent ainsi se croiser, zones (39, 40), au cours du mouvement.A set of two links (11a, 11d) cooperates with the articulation pieces (8 and 9) respectively via the axes (10h and 10f) coaxial with each other and the axes (10g and 10a) also coaxial with each other, the axes (10b and 10d) connect the parts (9 and 8) to a second set of rods (11b and 11c), the housings (41, 42) such as those arranged in the articulation parts (8 and 9) constitute exclusive available volumes for each link (11a, 11b, 11c and 11d) which can thus cross, zones (39, 40), during the movement.

Le mouvement est limité à la position (H1) à l'ouverture par la butée (12), liée à la pièce d'articulation (8), agissant sur les biellettes (11b, 11c). Cette limitation est renforcée par la butée (13) liée à la biellette (11a) agissant sur la pièce d'articulation (9).The movement is limited to the position (H1) at the opening by the stop (12), linked to the articulation piece (8), acting on the links (11b, 11c). This limitation is reinforced by the stop (13) linked to the link (11a) acting on the articulation piece (9).

Lors de la fermeture, la poussée appliquée au vantail (04) se répercute sur le rail (1) par l'intermédiaire de la roulette (2a) qui est retenue par le relief (1a).When closing, the thrust applied to the leaf (04) is reflected on the rail (1) by means of the roller (2a) which is retained by the relief (1a).

Le vantail (04) ouvert se déplace alors vers la position vantail (F4) fermé. L'axe (10d) et les axes (10f, 10h) décrivent des arcs de cercles autour de leurs lignes de centre respectives qui sont les axes (10b) et (10a, 10g), la trajectoire de la pièce d'articulation (8) et du bas du vantail passe ainsi par un maximum de hauteur.The open leaf (04) then moves to the closed leaf position (F4). The axis (10d) and the axes (10f, 10h) describe arcs of circles around their respective center lines which are the axes (10b) and (10a, 10g), the trajectory of the articulation piece (8 ) and from the bottom of the leaf goes through a maximum of height.

De ce fait, le vantail en allant de (04) à (F4) au cours de sa fermeture monte donc légèrement, puis redescend se poser sur les appuis fixes, déjà décrits, dans une position proche de celle du vantail (F4) fermé.Therefore, the leaf from (04) to (F4) during its closing therefore rises slightly, then descends to rest on the fixed supports, already described, in a position close to that of the closed leaf (F4).

Le jeu de biellettes (11a, 11d) peut être de longueur légèrement différente de celle de l'autre jeu de biellette (11b, 11c) de façon à provoquer l'inclinaison de la roulette (2a) pendant le mouvement de fermeture et améliorer ainsi ce dernier.The set of links (11a, 11d) may be slightly different in length from that of the other set of links (11b, 11c) so as to cause the inclination of the caster (2a) during the closing movement and thus improve this last.

La planche IV Figures 5 et 5bis montre une réalisation de dispositif de guidage supérieur. On voit en position de vantail (F4) fermé que le prolongement (19a) n'est pas en contact avec la face (5a) de l'huisserie (5). L'espace ainsi ménagé permet au joint (5b) lié à l'huisserie (5 de plus ou moins s'écraser sous la pression de fermeture du vantail (F4).Plate IV Figures 5 and 5bis shows an embodiment of an upper guide device. It can be seen in the closed leaf position (F4) that the extension (19a) is not in contact with the face (5a) of the frame (5). The space thus provided allows the seal (5b) linked to the frame (5 more or less to be crushed under the closing pressure of the leaf (F4).

Lors de l'ouverture, le vantail (F4) sollicité vers la position (04), provoque la mise en pression du prolongement (19) sur la face (15). Le pivotement du bras (18) autour de l'axe (17) se produit jusqu'à une certaine limite déterminée, ici par la bielle (21).When opening, the leaf (F4) biased towards position (04), causes the extension of the pressure (19) to pressurize on the face (15). The pivoting of the arm (18) around the axis (17) occurs up to a certain determined limit, here by the connecting rod (21).

Cette bielle (21) pivote autour de l'axe (22) en même temps que le bras (18). Elle est entraînée par l'axe (23) lié au bras (18). L'axe (23) circule dans la rainure (24) de la biellette (21) de la biellette (21) jusqu'à buter en fin de rainure (24). Le déploiement du bras (18) est donc stoppé à la position souhaitée pour que le vantail (04) soit maintenu en position verticale. Pendant le coulissement du vantail (04) le prolongement (19) et l'extrémité du bras (18) sont guidés par la face (15), et éventuellement par la face (14c, 14d) en cas de perturbation du mouvement du vantail. Lors de la fermeture vers la position du vantail (F4), l'action de la face (5a) poussera le prolongement (19a) vers le logement (20a), ainsi, le bras (18) et la bielle (21) rentreront à l'intérieur du support (16a).This connecting rod (21) pivots about the axis (22) at the same time as the arm (18). It is driven by the axis (23) linked to the arm (18). The axis (23) runs in the groove (24) of the link (21) of the link (21) until it stops at the end of the groove (24). The deployment of the arm (18) is therefore stopped at the desired position so that the leaf (04) is kept in the vertical position. During the sliding of the leaf (04) the extension (19) and the end of the arm (18) are guided by the face (15), and possibly by the face (14c, 14d) in the event of disturbance of the movement of the leaf. When closing towards the leaf position (F4), the action of the face (5a) will push the extension (19a) towards the housing (20a), thus, the arm (18) and the connecting rod (21) will return to inside the support (16a).

Une variante du dispositif de guidage et représentée planche V Figures 6 et 6bis. L'huisserie (5) comporte un relief (39) oblique en forme de crochet sur toute la longueur de guidage. Le prolongement (19) comporte également une entaille (19a) en forme de crochet. L'orientation de l'entaille (19a) est telle qu'elle est parallèlement conjuguée avec le crochet (39) quand le bras (18) est en position vantail (04) ouvert. Un chanfrein (19b) contribue à l'effacement du crochet (19a) lorsque le bras (18a) est en position de fermeture sur un vantail (F4).A variant of the guide device and shown on board V in Figures 6 and 6bis. The frame (5) has an oblique relief (39) in the form of a hook over the entire guide length. The extension (19) also includes a notch (19a) in the form of a hook. The orientation of the notch (19a) is such that it is parallel with the hook (39) when the arm (18) is in the open leaf position (04). A chamfer (19b) contributes to the erasure of the hook (19a) when the arm (18a) is in the closed position on a leaf (F4).

Le dispositif d'étanchéité est prévu pour que chaque vantail soit fermé en deux temps: 1er temps: engagement du système d'étanchéité lié à l'un des bords verticaux du vantail. Ce bord est appelé avant.
2ème temps: emboîtement du système d'étanchéité lié à l'autre bord vertical du vantail. Ce bord est appelé arrière.The sealing device is designed so that each leaf is closed in two stages: 1st stage: engagement of the sealing system linked to one of the vertical edges of the leaf. This edge is called before.
2nd step: fitting of the sealing system linked to the other vertical edge of the leaf. This edge is called rear.

Sur la planche VI la Figure 7 montre le bord avant d'un vantail (F4) fermé, la languette (27) liée au vantail (F4) comporte un prolongement (30) cylindrique sur toute la hauteur du vantail. Ce prolongement (30) peut coulisser ou pivoter dans la rainure (29) aménagée dans le montant (28) de l'huisserie. Lors de la fermeture du vantail (F4) le bord avant, par son élément le plus avancé (30) peut être engagé de façon oblique (V) dans la rainure (29) sans risque de coincement. La Figure 8, montre le bord arrière du vantail (F4) fermé sur le montant (38) d'huisserie par un mouvement de rotation (W), dont l'axe se situe au centre du cylindre (30) Figure 7.On board VI, Figure 7 shows the front edge of a closed leaf (F4), the tongue (27) linked to the leaf (F4) has a cylindrical extension (30) over the entire height of the leaf. This extension (30) can slide or pivot in the groove (29) provided in the upright (28) of the frame. When closing the leaf (F4) the front edge, by its most advanced element (30) can be engaged obliquely (V) in the groove (29) without risk of jamming. Figure 8 shows the rear edge of the leaf (F4) closed on the frame upright (38) by a rotational movement (W), the axis of which is located in the center of the cylinder (30) Figure 7.

Figure 7 le joint (31e) situé en fond de rainure (29) et les joints (31a, 31b, 31d et 32c) disposés de part et d'autre de la languette (27) et de chaque côté de la rainure (29) assurent l'étanchéité, quel que soit le degré d'engagement de la languette (27) dans la rainure (29).Figure 7 the seal (31e) located at the bottom of the groove (29) and the seals (31a, 31b, 31d and 32c) arranged on either side of the tongue (27) and on each side of the groove (29) seal, regardless of the degree of engagement of the tongue (27) in the groove (29).

Figure 8, chaque joint (33) se trouve par un système de feuillure à partir de la forme (32) libre avant la contrainte de fermeture.Figure 8, each joint (33) is located by a rebate system from the free shape (32) before the closing stress.

La forme d'un joint (33) est telle qu'en position contrainte elle assure une liaison (34) et une ligne (35) de contact avec le montant (38) et deux lignes (36) (37) de contact avec le vantail (F4) fermé.The shape of a joint (33) is such that in the constrained position it provides a connection (34) and a line (35) of contact with the upright (38) and two lines (36) (37) of contact with the leaf (F4) closed.

Le montant (38) peut être lié soit à l'huisserie, soit à un vantail conjugué sans que le principe s'en trouve modifié.The upright (38) can be linked either to the frame or to a double leaf without the principle being modified.

En variante, le dispositif de liaison entre le haut du vantail (04) et le guidage supérieur (1) peut être assuré par le parallélogramme déformable (9), (10a, b, f, d), (11c, d) et (8). Ce dernier étant monté à l'envers, de façon symétrique à celui du bas. Dans cette position, la roulette (1) n'est pas utile car c'est la face (33) de la chape(9) qui remplace le doigt (19) de guidage.Alternatively, the connection device between the top of the leaf (04) and the upper guide (1) can be provided by the deformable parallelogram (9), (10a, b, f, d), (11c, d) and ( 8). The latter being mounted upside down, symmetrically to that at the bottom. In this position, the caster (1) is not useful because it is the face (33) of the yoke (9) which replaces the guide finger (19).
