Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a closing device for a roller shutter box. More particularly, this device makes it possible to seal the lateral ends of a box adapted to contain a rolling shutter and its drive mechanism.
  • roller shutter boxes are in the form of a rectangular parallelepiped and are adapted to be placed in masonry above an opening to be fitted (DE-U-9 301 459, FR-A- 2,550,270).
  • the lateral ends of the chest are initially closed by plywood plates which are screwed into the ends of the longitudinal walls of this chest. After closing these lateral ends, perforations are made in the end plates at the appropriate places to allow the fixing of the drive mechanisms intended to be integrated in the boot.
  • the roller shutter drive mechanisms are installed inside the boot and secured to the end plates.
  • the trunk is then integrated into the masonry, except for part of its lower wall, overhanging the opening to be fitted. In doing so, concrete (or any other similar material) is poured all around the trunk and in particular on the plywood sheets.
  • the present invention aims to overcome all of these drawbacks and to create a device for closing the lateral ends of roller shutter boxes that are easy to install and waterproof.
  • Another objective of the invention is to provide this closing device with a set of pre-established fixing points, not opening out inside the boot. Depending on the type of drive mechanism used, some of the pre-drilled attachment points will be used.
  • the cheeks according to the invention are easy to place and fix since they include projecting anchoring means (teeth), which it suffices to push into the walls of the trunk to secure the cheeks and the chest. It is therefore no longer necessary to screw plywood elements.
  • the cheeks according to the invention are made so as to fit in the recess made in the lateral ends of the trunk. This avoids any risk of leaks and leaks.
  • the heel cooperates with the cheek to firmly hold the cheek in position relative to the boot.
  • the cheek according to the invention also has, advantageously, a so-called external face, provided with a plurality of pre-established fixing points. These points are suitable for receiving fixing means for the roller shutter and the drive means housed inside the trunk.
  • the heel is provided with a plurality of housings adapted to receive a fixing lug.
  • This fixing lug can be secured to a sub-face adapted to close the underside of the trunk. Therefore, whatever the length of the flap and therefore its size once rolled in the trunk, it is very easy to vary the width of the trunk outlet slot by moving the underside, so that it either more or less distant from the edge of the trunk and thus creates a more or less wide slot.
  • the positioning of the underside is chosen by placing the fixing lug in one of the slots provided for this purpose.
  • the entire device according to the invention is made of plastic material.
  • the weight of the different parts of the device is negligible. Therefore, the establishment of the cheek and the heel is easy.

As shown in FIG. 1, this box is open at its lower part over at least part of its length along a slot 14.
  • This slot 14 allows the shutter to slide freely in front of an opening 15 to be fitted.
  • the trunk 10 is intended to be placed above the opening 15 to be fitted and rests by each of these lateral ends on the masonry surrounding the opening.

  • the outer edge ⁇ (the furthest from the axis A) of each of these teeth makes an angle with the vertical (see Figures 3 and 4) more important than the internal edge ⁇ of the teeth. Therefore, when these teeth are driven into the bottom of the trunk, they tend to bring the longitudinal walls 11 of the latter towards each other. They thus participate in maintaining the spacing of the two longitudinal walls.

Description

La présente invention concerne un dispositif de fermeture pour coffre de volet roulant. Plus particulièrement, ce dispositif permet de fermer de manière étanche les extrémités latérales d'un coffre adapté pour contenir un volet roulant et son mécanisme d'entraînement.The present invention relates to a closing device for a roller shutter box. More particularly, this device makes it possible to seal the lateral ends of a box adapted to contain a rolling shutter and its drive mechanism.

Généralement, les coffres de volet roulant se présentent sous la forme d'un parallélépipède rectangle et sont adaptés pour être mis en place dans la maçonnerie au-dessus d'une ouverture à équiper (DE-U-9 301 459, FR-A-2 550 270). Les extrémités latérales du coffre sont initialement fermées par des plaques de bois contreplaqué qui sont vissées dans les extrémités des parois longitudinales de ce coffre. Après fermeture de ces extrémités latérales, des perforations sont réalisées dans les plaques d'extrémité aux endroits appropriés pour permettre la fixation des mécanismes d'entraînement destinés à être intégrés dans le coffre. Enfin, les mécanismes d'entraînement du volet roulant sont mis en place à l'intérieur du coffre et solidarisés aux plaques d'extrémité.Generally, roller shutter boxes are in the form of a rectangular parallelepiped and are adapted to be placed in masonry above an opening to be fitted (DE-U-9 301 459, FR-A- 2,550,270). The lateral ends of the chest are initially closed by plywood plates which are screwed into the ends of the longitudinal walls of this chest. After closing these lateral ends, perforations are made in the end plates at the appropriate places to allow the fixing of the drive mechanisms intended to be integrated in the boot. Finally, the roller shutter drive mechanisms are installed inside the boot and secured to the end plates.

Le coffre est alors intégré dans la maçonnerie, sauf une partie de sa paroi inférieure, en surplomb de l'ouverture à équiper. Ce faisant, du béton (ou tout autre matériau analogue) est coulé tout autour du coffre et notamment sur les plaques de bois contreplaqué.The trunk is then integrated into the masonry, except for part of its lower wall, overhanging the opening to be fitted. In doing so, concrete (or any other similar material) is poured all around the trunk and in particular on the plywood sheets.

L'inconvénient majeur de ces coffres réside dans le fait que leurs extrémités latérales n'offrent pas toutes les garanties d'étanchéité vis-à-vis du béton. De ce fait, ce dernier (ou tout matériau analogue) peut pénétrer dans le coffre au risque parfois de bloquer ou de détériorer les mécanismes d'entraînement du volet roulant. En outre, il est fastidieux à chaque mise en place d'extrémité latérale, de visser toutes les vis. Il en résulte une perte de temps et des manipulations excessives.The major drawback of these safes lies in the fact that their lateral ends do not offer all the guarantees of tightness with respect to concrete. As a result, the latter (or any similar material) can penetrate the boot, sometimes at the risk of blocking or damaging the drive mechanisms of the roller shutter. In addition, it is tedious with each establishment of lateral end, to tighten all the screws. This results in a waste of time and excessive handling.

La présente invention a pour but de pallier l'ensemble de ces inconvénients et de créer un dispositif de fermeture des extrémités latérales de coffres de volet roulant facile à mettre en place et étanche.The present invention aims to overcome all of these drawbacks and to create a device for closing the lateral ends of roller shutter boxes that are easy to install and waterproof.

Un autre objectif de l'invention est de munir ce dispositif de fermeture d'un ensemble de points de fixation pré-établis, non débouchant à l'intérieur du coffre. En fonction du type de mécanisme d'entraînement employé, certains des points de fixation prépercés seront utilisés.Another objective of the invention is to provide this closing device with a set of pre-established fixing points, not opening out inside the boot. Depending on the type of drive mechanism used, some of the pre-drilled attachment points will be used.

A cet effet, la présente invention concerne un dispositif de fermeture d'extrémité latérale de coffre de volet roulant, ledit coffre adapté pour loger un volet roulant et un mécanisme d'entraînement correspondant, présentant une forme globalement parallélépipédique et comportant :

  • un fond,
  • deux parois longitudinales munies chacune d'une glissière à leur extrémité libre,
  • et deux extrémités latérales présentant un évidement,
    ledit dispositif étant caractérisé en ce qu'il comporte :
  • une joue de forme conjuguée de la section de l'évidement de l'extrémité latérale du coffre, adaptée pour venir en contact avec le coffre selon une zone d'appui périphérique munie d'une collerette de butée, ladite zone d'appui étant munie de moyens d'ancrage en saillie adaptés pour venir s'ancrer dans le coffre,
  • et un talon adapté pour être inséré par coulissement dans les glissières et pour coopérer avec la joue et les parois longitudinales du coffre et former une extrémité latérale étanche, ledit talon comportant des moyens de blocage adaptés pour bloquer en translation la joue par rapport au talon et des moyens d'ancrage adaptés pour pénétrer dans les parois longitudinales du coffre.
To this end, the present invention relates to a device for closing the lateral end of a rolling shutter box, said box adapted to house a rolling shutter and a corresponding drive mechanism, having a generally parallelepiped shape and comprising:
  • a fund,
  • two longitudinal walls each provided with a slide at their free end,
  • and two lateral ends having a recess,
    said device being characterized in that it comprises:
  • a cheek of conjugate shape of the section of the recess of the lateral end of the trunk, adapted to come into contact with the trunk according to a peripheral support zone provided with a stop collar, said support zone being provided protruding anchoring means adapted to anchor in the trunk,
  • and a heel adapted to be inserted by sliding in the slides and to cooperate with the cheek and the longitudinal walls of the boot and form a sealed lateral end, said heel comprising locking means adapted to block in translation the cheek relative to the heel and anchoring means adapted to penetrate the longitudinal walls of the trunk.

Ainsi, les joues selon l'invention sont faciles à placer et à fixer puisqu'elles comportent des moyens d'ancrage (des dents) en saillie, qu'il suffit d'enfoncer dans les parois du coffre pour solidariser ensemble les joues et le coffre. Il n'est donc plus nécessaire de visser des éléments en bois contreplaqué. En outre, les joues selon l'invention sont réalisées de manière à s'ajuster dans l'évidement réalisé dans les extrémités latérales du coffre. On évite ainsi tout risque de fuites et de non étanchéité.Thus, the cheeks according to the invention are easy to place and fix since they include projecting anchoring means (teeth), which it suffices to push into the walls of the trunk to secure the cheeks and the chest. It is therefore no longer necessary to screw plywood elements. In addition, the cheeks according to the invention are made so as to fit in the recess made in the lateral ends of the trunk. This avoids any risk of leaks and leaks.

On notera encore que le talon coopère avec la joue pour maintenir fermement en position la joue par rapport au coffre.It will also be noted that the heel cooperates with the cheek to firmly hold the cheek in position relative to the boot.

La joue selon l'invention présente, en outre, avantageusement une face dite externe, dotée d'une pluralité de points de fixation pré-établie. Ces points sont adaptés pour recevoir des moyens de fixation pour le volet roulant et les moyens d'entraînement logés à l'intérieur du coffre.The cheek according to the invention also has, advantageously, a so-called external face, provided with a plurality of pre-established fixing points. These points are suitable for receiving fixing means for the roller shutter and the drive means housed inside the trunk.

Avantageusement encore, le talon est muni d'une pluralité de logements adaptés pour recevoir une patte de fixation. Cette patte de fixation peut être solidarisée à une sous-face adaptée pour refermer la face inférieure du coffre. De ce fait, quelle que soit la longueur du volet et donc son encombrement une fois roulé dans le coffre, il est très facile de faire varier la largeur de la fente de sortie du coffre en déplaçant la sous-face, de sorte qu'elle soit plus ou moins éloignée du bord du coffre et créé ainsi une fente plus ou moins large. Le positionnement de la sous-face est choisi en plaçant la patte de fixation dans un des logements prévus à cet effet.Advantageously also, the heel is provided with a plurality of housings adapted to receive a fixing lug. This fixing lug can be secured to a sub-face adapted to close the underside of the trunk. Therefore, whatever the length of the flap and therefore its size once rolled in the trunk, it is very easy to vary the width of the trunk outlet slot by moving the underside, so that it either more or less distant from the edge of the trunk and thus creates a more or less wide slot. The positioning of the underside is chosen by placing the fixing lug in one of the slots provided for this purpose.

On notera que de manière avantageuse, l'ensemble du dispositif selon l'invention est réalisé en matériau plastique. Il en résulte que le poids des différentes parties du dispositif est négligeable. De ce fait, la mise en place de la joue et du talon est aisée.It will be noted that advantageously, the entire device according to the invention is made of plastic material. As a result, the weight of the different parts of the device is negligible. Therefore, the establishment of the cheek and the heel is easy.

D'autres objets, caractéristiques et avantages de l'invention ressortiront d'ailleurs de la description qui suit, à titre d'exemple non limitatif, et en référence aux dessins annexés dans lesquels :

Selon le mode de réalisation représenté aux figures 1 à 5, un coffre de volet roulant 10 se présente sous la forme générale d'un parallélépipède rectangle et est muni de deux parois longitudinales 11, de deux parois latérales 12, et d'un fond 13. Chaque paroi longitudinale est terminée par une glissière 16 adaptée pour créer un espace libre 17 entre l'extrémité de la paroi longitudinale et la glissière. Tel que représenté à la figure 1, ce coffre est ouvert à sa partie inférieure sur au moins une partie de sa longueur selon une fente 14.According to the embodiment shown in Figures 1 to 5, a roller shutter box 10 is in the general form of a rectangular parallelepiped and is provided with two longitudinal walls 11, two side walls 12, and a bottom 13 Each longitudinal wall is terminated by a slide 16 adapted to create a free space 17 between the end of the longitudinal wall and the slide. As shown in FIG. 1, this box is open at its lower part over at least part of its length along a slot 14.

Cette fente 14 permet de laisser coulisser librement le volet devant une ouverture 15 à équiper. Comme le montre la figure 1, le coffre 10 est destiné à être placé au-dessus de l'ouverture 15 à équiper et repose par chacune de ces extrémités latérales sur la maçonnerie entourant l'ouverture.This slot 14 allows the shutter to slide freely in front of an opening 15 to be fitted. As shown in Figure 1, the trunk 10 is intended to be placed above the opening 15 to be fitted and rests by each of these lateral ends on the masonry surrounding the opening.

A l'intérieur du coffre, on trouve un volet V enroulé sur lui-même et des mécanismes d'entraînement M adaptés pour provoquer sur commande l'enroulement ou le déroulement du volet.Inside the trunk, there is a flap V wound on itself and drive mechanisms M adapted to cause the winding or unwinding of the flap on command.

Chacune des parois latérales 12 du coffre présente un évidement 20 adapté pour recevoir un dispositif de fermeture comportant une joue 18, et un talon 19 conformes à l'invention.Each of the side walls 12 of the trunk has a recess 20 adapted to receive a closure device comprising a cheek 18, and a heel 19 according to the invention.

La joue 18 présente une forme conjuguée à celle de l'évidement 20, et est munie sur sa périphérie d'une zone d'appui 21 (figure 3). Cette zone d'appui est adaptée pour venir au contact des parois du coffre tout le long de l'évidement 20.The cheek 18 has a shape combined with that of the recess 20, and is provided on its periphery a support zone 21 (FIG. 3). This support zone is adapted to come into contact with the walls of the trunk all along the recess 20.

Cette zone d'appui périphérique (figure 3) est munie de trois dents (22a, b, c) en saillie jouant le rôle de moyens d'ancrage. Elle présente également une collerette d'appui 23.This peripheral support zone (FIG. 3) is provided with three projecting teeth (22a, b, c) playing the role of anchoring means. It also has a support flange 23.

En ce qui concerne les dents 22a et 22c, placées symétriquement de part et d'autre de l'axe longitudinal A de la joue 18, on notera que ces dents sont asymétriques par rapport à leurs axes longitudinaux B. En effet, le bord externe α (le plus éloigné de l'axe A) de chacune de ces dents fait un angle avec la verticale (voir figures 3 et 4) plus important que le bord interne β des dents. De ce fait, lorsque ces dents sont enfoncées dans le fond du coffre, elles ont tendance à ramener l'une vers l'autre les parois longitudinales 11 de ce dernier. Elles participent ainsi au maintien de l'écartement des deux parois longitudinales.As regards the teeth 22a and 22c, placed symmetrically on either side of the longitudinal axis A of the cheek 18, it will be noted that these teeth are asymmetrical with respect to their longitudinal axes B. In fact, the outer edge α (the furthest from the axis A) of each of these teeth makes an angle with the vertical (see Figures 3 and 4) more important than the internal edge β of the teeth. Therefore, when these teeth are driven into the bottom of the trunk, they tend to bring the longitudinal walls 11 of the latter towards each other. They thus participate in maintaining the spacing of the two longitudinal walls.

La joue 18 présente une face dite interne (figure 3) et une autre dite externe (figure 2) respectivement situées a l'intérieur et à l'extérieur du coffre lorsque la joue 18 est en place.The cheek 18 has a so-called internal face (FIG. 3) and another so-called external face (FIG. 2) located respectively inside and outside the trunk when the cheek 18 is in place.

Sur la face externe (figure 2) est ménagée une pluralité de points de fixation 24, dont la position est pré-établie. Ces points de fixation 24 sont adaptés pour recevoir des moyens de fixation (non représentés) pour le volet roulant et les moyens d'entraînement M disposés à l'intérieur du coffre. Selon le type de mécanisme d'entraînement choisi, certains de ces points sont percés pour ensuite fixer les moyens d'entraînement et le volet.On the external face (FIG. 2) is provided a plurality of fixing points 24, the position of which is pre-established. These fixing points 24 are adapted to receive fixing means (not shown) for the roller shutter and the drive means M arranged inside the boot. Depending on the type of drive mechanism chosen, some of these points are drilled in order to then fix the drive means and the flap.

Entre chaque point de fixation, des renforts sont adaptés pour rigidifier la périphérie de chaque point de fixation.Between each attachment point, reinforcements are adapted to stiffen the periphery of each attachment point.

La partie inférieure de la face externe de la joue est munie d'un évidement 25 délimité par un renfort transversal 26.The lower part of the external face of the cheek is provided with a recess 25 delimited by a transverse reinforcement 26.

Au niveau de la partie supérieure de cette face externe, la joue 18 comporte une cloison 45 parallèle à ladite face externe et s'étendant dans le plan de la collerette d'appui 23.At the top of this external face, the cheek 18 comprises a partition 45 parallel to said external face and extending in the plane of the support flange 23.

Cette cloison 45 dont le bord longitudinal est parallèle au bord inférieur de la joue 18, a pour fonction de former une poignée de transport tel qu'explicité plus loin.This partition 45, the longitudinal edge of which is parallel to the lower edge of the cheek 18, has the function of forming a transport handle as explained below.

Le talon 19 selon l'invention comporte (figure 2), deux oreilles 27 et un corps central 28, solidaires d'une plaque avant 29 perpendiculaire au corps 28.The heel 19 according to the invention comprises (FIG. 2), two ears 27 and a central body 28, integral with a front plate 29 perpendicular to the body 28.

Ce corps central 28 est muni sur sa partie interne d'une première butée 30 (figure 3). En avant de cette première butée, on trouve une seconde butée 31 constituée par une pluralité de cales formant chacune une rampe inclinée 32. La première et la seconde butée (30, 31) sont séparées par une rainure 40 dont la largeur correspond à celle de la partie inférieure de la joue 18.This central body 28 is provided on its internal part with a first stop 30 (FIG. 3). In front of this first stop, there is a second stop 31 constituted by a plurality of shims each forming an inclined ramp 32. The first and the second stop (30, 31) are separated by a groove 40 whose width corresponds to that of the lower part of the cheek 18.

Deux picots sont ménagés sur la face interne des oreilles 27.Two pins are provided on the internal face of the ears 27.

Chacun de ces picots présente un côté externe α incliné vers l'intérieur du talon tandis que l'autre côté β du picot est sensiblement perpendiculaire à l'oreille 27 et est donc sensiblement perpendiculaire au corps central 28.Each of these studs has an external side α inclined towards the inside of the heel while the other side β of the stud is substantially perpendicular to the ear 27 and is therefore substantially perpendicular to the central body 28.

Le talon 19 est en outre muni d'une pluralité de logements 34 formant chacun une glissière 35 adaptée pour recevoir de manière coulissante une patte de fixation 36 munie de nervures de glissement 37 correspondantes.The heel 19 is further provided with a plurality of housings 34 each forming a slide 35 adapted to receive in sliding manner a fixing lug 36 provided with corresponding sliding ribs 37.

Le montage du dispositif selon l'invention est décrit ci-après.The mounting of the device according to the invention is described below.

La joue est présentée dans l'évidement 20 et les moyens d'ancrage (dents 22a, b, c) sont enfoncés dans le fond 13 du coffre. Il est à noter que le coffre est généralement constitué en matériau synthétique à base de polystyrène, et que l'ancrage des dents dans le coffre est aisé à réaliser.The cheek is presented in the recess 20 and the anchoring means (teeth 22a, b, c) are pressed into the bottom 13 of the trunk. It should be noted that the trunk is generally made of synthetic material based on polystyrene, and that the anchoring of the teeth in the trunk is easy to carry out.

La joue est alors positionnée le long des parois latérales du coffre en amenant en contact la collerette 23 et le contour de l'évidement 20. Dès que la joue est correctement positionnée dans l'évidement 20, dont elle épouse tous les contours, le talon est mis en place dans l'espace libre 17 créé entre les parois longitudinales et les glissières 16. Pour ce faire, les bords latéraux de la plaque avant 29 sont insérés par coulissement dans l'espace libre 17, jusqu'à ce que les oreilles 27 du talon entrent en contact avec la tranche des parois longitudinales 11. Ce faisant, les picots 33 (figure 3) du talon pénètrent dans ces parois 11.The cheek is then positioned along the side walls of the trunk, bringing the flange 23 and the contour of the recess 20 into contact. As soon as the cheek is correctly positioned in the recess 20, of which it follows all the contours, the heel is placed in the free space 17 created between the longitudinal walls and the runners 16. To do this, the lateral edges of the front plate 29 are inserted by sliding in the free space 17, until the ears 27 of the heel come into contact with the edge of the longitudinal walls 11. In doing so, the pins 33 (FIG. 3) of the heel penetrate into these walls 11.

Simultanément, l'extrémité inférieure de la joue passe au-dessus de la seconde butée 31 et vient se positionner dans la rainure 40 entre la première et la seconde butée. Lors de son passage au-dessus de la seconde butée les rampes inclinées 32 de cette butée guident la joue 8 progressivement vers la rainure 40.Simultaneously, the lower end of the cheek passes over the second stop 31 and is positioned in the groove 40 between the first and the second stop. During its passage above the second stop, the inclined ramps 32 of this stop guide the cheek 8 progressively towards the groove 40.

Une fois dans cette rainure, la première butée 30 se trouve logée dans l'évidement 25 de la joue, tandis que la seconde butée 31 empêche la joue 18 de s'échapper de cette rainure.Once in this groove, the first stop 30 is housed in the recess 25 of the cheek, while the second stop 31 prevents the cheek 18 from escaping from this groove.

Le talon et la joue forment alors un ensemble solidaire permettant le maintien en place de la joue 18 dans l'évidement 20 et assurant une position sensiblement perpendiculaire de la joue 18 par rapport au talon 19.The heel and the cheek then form an integral assembly allowing the cheek 18 to be held in place in the recess 20 and ensuring a substantially perpendicular position of the cheek 18 relative to the heel 19.

Il est à noter que les dents 22a et c et les picots 33 présentent tous une face plus inclinée que l'autre de telle sorte que lorsqu'ils sont enfoncés dans les parois du coffre, ils ont tendance à provoquer un resserrement des parois longitudinales 11 autour de la joue 18 et du talon 19.It should be noted that the teeth 22a and c and the pins 33 all have a more inclined face than the other so that when they are pressed into the walls of the trunk, they tend to cause a tightening of the longitudinal walls 11 around cheek 18 and heel 19.

Ceci conforte la structure réalisée, et évite toute fuite entre les parois 11 et le dispositif de fermeture, une fois mis en place.This consolidates the structure produced, and prevents any leakage between the walls 11 and the closure device, once it has been put in place.

Le volet roulant et les mécanismes d'entraînement sont alors placés dans le coffre. A cet effet, les points de fixation correspondant au type de mécanisme d'entraînement utilisé sont percés. Les autres points de fixation demeurent, bien entendu, fermés.The roller shutter and the drive mechanisms are then placed in the boot. In this Indeed, the fixing points corresponding to the type of drive mechanism used are drilled. The other fixing points remain, of course, closed.

Après mise en place du dispositif de fermeture, une sous-face 42 est placée à la partie inférieure du coffre. Cette sous-face peut être munie de moyens d'accrochage (du type commercialisés sous la marque Velcro par exemple) adaptés pour coopérer avec des moyens d'accrochage conjugués placés sur la patte de fixation 36.After the closure device has been put in place, an underside 42 is placed at the bottom of the boot. This underside can be fitted with hooking means (of the type sold under the Velcro brand for example) adapted to cooperate with combined hooking means placed on the fixing lug 36.

Avantageusement, en choisissant de placer cette patte de fixation 36 dans un des logements 34 du talon, on fixe en même temps la position de la sous-face 42 et donc la largeur de la fente 14 pour laisser coulisser le volet roulant.Advantageously, by choosing to place this fixing lug 36 in one of the housings 34 of the heel, the position of the underside 42 and therefore the width of the slot 14 are fixed at the same time to allow the roller shutter to slide.

Le coffre ainsi refermé est alors mis en place au-dessus d'une ouverture à équiper, son transport étant simplifié par la présence des poignées 45. Enfin, le coffre est intégré dans la maçonnerie béton (ou analogue). Cependant, comme le dispositif de fermeture est étanche, toute pénétration de béton (ou autre) à l'intérieur du coffre est interdite.The trunk thus closed is then placed above an opening to be fitted, its transport being simplified by the presence of the handles 45. Finally, the trunk is integrated into the concrete masonry (or the like). However, as the closing device is waterproof, any penetration of concrete (or other) inside the trunk is prohibited.

En variante, pour permettre de bloquer en translation le talon dans les glissières, il est possible de rabattre l'extrémité 40 de la glissière derrière le talon (figure 6).Alternatively, to allow the heel to be locked in translation in the slides, it is possible to fold the end 40 of the slide behind the heel (FIG. 6).

Bien entendu, la présente invention n'est pas limitée au mode de réalisation ci-dessus décrit et englobe toute variante à la portée de l'homme de l'art. Ainsi, la forme de la joue peut être différente de celle représentée.Of course, the present invention is not limited to the embodiment described above and encompasses any variant within the reach of ordinary skill in the art. Thus, the shape of the cheek may be different from that shown.
