Description

La présente invention concerne un dispositif de sécurité pour les portes dites "basculantes en plafond", c'est à dire les portes basculantes pour garages, hangars et analogues, dont le guidage en cours de basculement est assuré d'une part pardes roulettes se déplaçant le long de deux rails guides verticaux disposés de chaque côté de l'entrée du local, et d'autre part par des roulettes se déplaçant le long de deux rails guides horizontaux disposés perpendiculairement aux précédents à l'intérieur du local, le basculement étant commandé par des câbles tracteurs accrochés à la portion inférieure de la porte.The present invention relates to a safety device for doors called "overhead ceiling", that is to say overhead doors for garages, hangars and the like, whose guidance during tilting is provided on the one hand by moving rollers along two vertical guide rails arranged on each side of the entrance to the room, and on the other hand by rollers moving along two horizontal guide rails arranged perpendicular to the previous inside the room, the tilting being controlled by towing cables attached to the lower portion of the door.

D'autres systèmes font intervenir, à la place des rails, des bras animés d'un mouvement cinétique, ou, à la place des câbles tracteurs, des chaînes ou des compensateurs fixés sur la porte. L'invention s'applique indifféremment à tous ces systèmes, qui présentent l'inconvénient que la cinétique de telles portes implique donc à la fois un déplacement vertical et un basculement d'avant en arrière à l'ouverture, et inversement à la fermeture.Other systems involve, in place of the rails, arms animated by a kinetic movement, or, in place of the towing cables, chains or compensators fixed to the door. The invention applies equally to all these systems, which have the drawback that the kinetics of such doors therefore involves both vertical displacement and tilting back and forth when opening, and vice versa when closing.

Il en résulte que pendant toute la durée de l'ouverture et de la fermeture, le déplacement de chaque côté vertical de la porte par rapport au rail de guidage vertical correspondant détermine entre eux sur tout le trajet de la porte un effet de cisaillement qui a été souvent cause d'accident, quand, par inadvertance, on laisse le bras, la main ou les doigts sur ce trajet, ce qui est notamment un risque pour les enfants.As a result, throughout the duration of the opening and closing, the movement of each vertical side of the door relative to the corresponding vertical guide rail determines between them over the entire path of the door a shearing effect which has has often been the cause of accidents, when, inadvertently, the arms, hand or fingers on this route, which is particularly a risk for children.

Or, si ces portes comportent bien un dispositif de sécurité à leur partie inférieure, elles n'en comportent aucun sur leurs deux côtés latéraux.However, if these doors do indeed have a safety device at their lower part, they do not have any on their two lateral sides.

La présente invention remédie à cette lacune grâce à un aménagement très simple, mais efficace.The present invention remedies this shortcoming by means of a very simple, but effective arrangement.

Cet aménagement consiste à laisser subsister sur toute la hauteur du trajet de la porte un espace de l'ordre de 5 cm de large entre la porte et le rail, et à disposer sur toute la hauteur et la largeur de cet espace une pièce en matériau souple venant assurer l'étanchéité de la fermeture sans représenter un danger pour un sujet venant y placer un bras ou un doigts.This arrangement consists in leaving a space of about 5 cm wide between the door and the rail over the entire height of the path of the door, and in placing a piece of material over the entire height and width of this space. flexible to seal the closure without posing a danger to a subject placing an arm or a finger on it.

Ladite pièce en matériau souple tel que caoutchouc, matière plastique ou analogue, se présente de préférence sous forme d'un prisme allongé, de préférence de section trapézoïdale, la grande base du trapèze comportant des bourrelets destinés à être insérés dans des gorges de fixation. Cette fixation peut se faire indifféremment sur chaque côté vertical de la porte, auquel cas la partie étroite du trapèze vient se plaquer contre le rebord du rail de guidage correspondant, ou sur chaque rail de guidage, auquel cas ladite partie étroite du trapèze vient se plaquer contre l'arète de la porte. Dans les deux cas, tout risque de cisaillement entre la porte et les rails de guidage est évité, la fermeture demeurant cependant hermétique.Said piece of flexible material such as rubber, plastic or the like, is preferably in the form of an elongated prism, preferably of trapezoidal section, the large base of the trapezoid comprising beads intended to be inserted into fixing grooves. This fixing can be done either on each vertical side of the door, in which case the narrow part of the trapezoid is pressed against the edge of the corresponding guide rail, or on each guide rail, in which case said narrow part of the trapezoid is pressed against the edge of the door. In both cases, any risk of shearing between the door and the guide rails is avoided, the closure however remaining hermetic.

On va maintenant décrire l'invention plus en détail, avec référence au dessin annexé sur lequel :

  • La figure 1 est une perspective schématique d'une porte "basculante en plafond", faisant apparaître l'aménagement selon l'invention.
  • Les figures 2 et 3 sont des coupes horizontales schématiques de deux réalisations selon l'invention.
The invention will now be described in more detail, with reference to the attached drawing in which:
  • Figure 1 is a schematic perspective of a door "tilting ceiling", showing the arrangement according to the invention.
  • Figures 2 and 3 are schematic horizontal sections of two embodiments according to the invention.

En se référant d'abord à la figure 1, on voit que la porte 1 est du type dans lequel le guidage s'effectue, d'une part par des roulettes 2 se déplaçant le long des deux rails de guidage verticaux 3 disposés de chaque côté de l'ouverture à fermer, et d'autre part par des roulettes 4 se déplaçant le long de rails de guidage horizontaux 5, perpendiculaires aux précédents vers l'intérieur du local, le mouvement de la porte étant commandé par des câbles de levage 6 fixés en 7 à la partie inférieure de la porte.Referring first to FIG. 1, it can be seen that the door 1 is of the type in which the guidance is carried out, on the one hand by rollers 2 moving along the two vertical guide rails 3 disposed on each side of the opening to be closed, and on the other hand by rollers 4 moving along horizontal guide rails 5, perpendicular to the previous ones towards the interior of the room, the movement of the door being controlled by lifting cables 6 fixed at 7 to the lower part of the door.

Comme il est connu, une bande de sécurité 8, en caoutchouc ou analogue, est prévue à la partie inférieure de la porte.As is known, a security strip 8, made of rubber or the like, is provided at the bottom of the door.

Selon l'invention, pour éviter tout risque de cisaillement entre les côtés verticaux de la porte et les rails verticaux 3, il est prévu de dimensionner la porte de manière qu'il subsiste une écart d'environ 5 cm entre la porte et chaque rail 3, et de disposer sur toute la hauteur de cet espace une pièce en matériau souple 9, comme il est décrit ci-après avec référence aux figures 2 et 3.According to the invention, to avoid any risk of shearing between the vertical sides of the door and the vertical rails 3, provision is made to size the door so that there remains a gap of approximately 5 cm between the door and each rail. 3, and to have a piece of flexible material 9 over the entire height of this space, as described below with reference to FIGS. 2 and 3.

Dans la réalisation de la figure 2, la pièce 9 est montée sur la porte 1 elle-même. A cet effet, cette pièce 9 ayant une section trapézoïdale, sa grande base 10 présente extérieurement des bourrelets 11 venant se loger dans les rainures 12 prévues sur la tranche 13 de la porte 1. La partie mince 14 de la pièce 9 vient se plaquer contre l'arète 15 du rail 3 de sorte que la fermeture est bien hermétique.In the embodiment of Figure 2, the part 9 is mounted on the door 1 itself. To this end, this part 9 having a trapezoidal section, its large base 10 has externally beads 11 which are received in the grooves 12 provided on the edge 13 of the door 1. The thin part 14 of the part 9 is pressed against the edge 15 of the rail 3 so that the closure is tightly sealed.

Dans la réalisation de la figure 3, c'est le rail 3 qui porte la pièce 9. A cet effet, le rail 3 comporte une aile additionnelle 16 parallèle à ses faces verticales et les bourrelets 11 de la pièce 9 viennent se loger dans des rainures 17 analogues aux rainures 12. La partie mince de la pièce 9 vient alors se plaquer contre l'arête 18 de la porte 1, ce qui assure l'étanchéité.In the embodiment of FIG. 3, it is the rail 3 which carries the part 9. For this purpose, the rail 3 has an additional wing 16 parallel to its vertical faces and the beads 11 of the part 9 are housed in grooves 17 similar to grooves 12. The thin part of the part 9 then presses against the edge 18 of the door 1, which ensures sealing.

Dans les deux cas, la présence de cette pièce d'étanchéité 9 souple a pour conséquence l'existence d'une zone de sécurité éliminant tout risque d'accident entre la porte et les rails de guidage. La pièce 9 ne frotte pas sur l'élément duquel elle n'est pas solidaire (le rail 3 sur la figure 2 ou la porte 1 sur la figure 3), ce qui évite une usure prématurée et ne gêne pas le mouvement de la porte, tout en assurant une fermeture hermétique.In both cases, the presence of this flexible sealing piece 9 results in the existence of a safety zone eliminating any risk of accident between the door and the guide rails. The piece 9 does not rub on the element of which it is not integral (the rail 3 in Figure 2 or the door 1 in Figure 3), which avoids premature wear and does not interfere with the movement of the door , while ensuring a hermetic closure.

Bien entendu, la pièce 9 a été représentée sur le dessin avec une section trapézoïdale creuse, renforcée par des cloisons internes, mais à titre d'exemple seulement, et toute autre section remplissant les mêmes fonctions rentrerait dans le cadre de l'invention.Of course, the part 9 has been shown in the drawing with a hollow trapezoidal section, reinforced by internal partitions, but by way of example only, and any other section fulfilling the same functions would fall within the scope of the invention.
