Description

La présente invention concerne des structures de couverture découvrable, c'est-à-dire dans lesquelles des panneaux formant la couverture peuvent coulisser les uns par rapport aux autres. Elles concerne plus particulièrement un profilé, adapté pour de telles structures, qui comporte des rainures latérales superposées pour le positionnement des plaques de couverture et leur coulissement. La présente invention s'applique notamment au domaine des piscines à toit ouvrant et des constructions légères de ce type,dont certains éléments de structure sont des arceaux cintrés formant voûtes.The present invention relates to discoverable cover structures, that is to say in which the panels forming the cover can slide relative to each other. They relate more particularly to a profile, suitable for such structures, which has superimposed lateral grooves for positioning the cover plates and their sliding. The present invention applies in particular to the field of sunroof swimming pools and light constructions of this type, some of the structural elements of which are arched arches forming arches.

On connaît par le document FR. A. 2.599.118 un profilé spécialement adapté pour la fabrication d'ossature d'abris, notamment pour couverture de piscines ou des serres. Il s'agit d'un profilé tubulaire, avec une âme de raidissement et une paroi périphérique de forme générale arrondie, qui est pourvue de lignes de moindre résistance en sorte de délimiter des bandes découpables qui, une fois retirées,définissent des feuillures pour le passage des plaques de couverture. L'âme de raidissement est un corps creux de section rectangulaire.We know from the document FR. A. 2.599.118 a profile specially adapted for the manufacture of shelter frames, in particular for covering swimming pools or greenhouses. It is a tubular profile, with a stiffening core and a peripheral wall of generally rounded shape, which is provided with lines of least resistance so as to delimit cutable strips which, once removed, define rebates for the passage of the cover plates. The stiffening core is a hollow body of rectangular section.

On connaît par le document FR.A.2.627.530 un profilé destiné à la constitution d'arceaux pour structure de couverture découvrable. Il s'agit d'un profilé cintré tubulaire constitué d'un corps central porteur,qui porte, de chaque côté et perpendiculairement à son corps central porteur et à l'axe de symétrie vertical du profilé,des ailettes latérales qui sont disposées les unes au dessus des autres et qui délimitent les rainures latérales de coulissement des plaques de couverture.Document FR.A.2.627.530 discloses a profile intended for the constitution of arches for a discoverable cover structure. This is a curved tubular profile consisting of a central support body, which carries, on each side and perpendicular to its central support body and the vertical axis of symmetry of the profile, lateral fins which are arranged one above the others and which delimit the lateral sliding grooves of the cover plates.

Le profilé décrit dans ce document FR.A.2.627.530 est d'une réalisation plus simple que celle du document FR.A.2.599.118. Cependant selon le demandeur, il présente plusieurs inconvénients: il n'est pas possible d'assurer facilement l'entretoisement entre deux arceaux adjacents ; dans sa version tubulaire, il y a des risques de vrillage du corps central porteur ; dans sa version profilé en U, il y a de très gros risques de déformations.The profile described in this document FR.A.2.627.530 is of a simpler embodiment than that of the document FR.A.2.599.118. However, according to the applicant, it has several drawbacks: it is not possible to easily ensure the bracing between two adjacent arches; in its tubular version, there are risks of twisting of the central carrying body; in its version U-shaped, there is a very high risk of deformation.

Le but que s'est fixé le demandeur est de proposer un profilé du type décrit dans le document FR.A.2.627.530,en ce qu'il comporte un corps central porteur et plusieurs jeux superposés de deux ailettes latérales symétriques 1' une de l'autre par rapport au corps central porteur, et formant rainure pour une plaque de couverture, mais qui pallie les inconvénients précités.The aim that the applicant has set is to propose a profile of the type described in document FR.A.2.627.530, in that it comprises a central load-bearing body and several sets superimposed on two symmetrical lateral fins 1 'a on the other relative to the central support body, and forming a groove for a cover plate, but which overcomes the aforementioned drawbacks.

Selon l'invention, le corps central porteur est un corps plein dédoublé dans sa partie basse, en forme de fourche, dont les deux jambages sont symétriques par rapport au plan passant par la partie haute dudit corps plein ; de plus le profilé de l'invention comporte :

  • a) au moins quatre jeux superposés de deux ailettes, deux au niveau de la partie haute et deux au niveau de la partie basse dédoublée du corps central,
  • b) deux corps creux latéraux d'un seul tenant avec le corps central, chacun étant respectivement formé par les deux ailettes superposées des deux jeux médians et une face de jonction raccordant les extrémités des deux dites ailettes.
According to the invention, the central carrying body is a solid body split in its lower part, in the form of a fork, the two legs of which are symmetrical with respect to the plane passing through the upper part of said solid body; moreover, the profile of the invention comprises:
  • a) at least four sets of two fins superimposed, two at the level of the upper part and two at the level of the lower part split in the central body,
  • b) two lateral hollow bodies integrally with the central body, each being respectively formed by the two superposed fins of the two median clearances and a junction face connecting the ends of the two said fins.

On comprend que le profilé dans sa version de base à quatre jeux de deux ailettes ne comporte de part et d'autre du corps central porteur que deux rainures superposées, chaque rainure étant délimitée par une face extérieure d'un corps creux latéral et de l'ailette qui lui fait face.It is understood that the profile in its basic version with four sets of two fins only comprises on either side of the central carrying body two superposed grooves, each groove being delimited by an external face of a lateral hollow body and the wing facing him.

La résistance au vrillage du profilé lui est donnée par le corps plein. Les corps creux améliorent le raidissement de l'ensemble du profilé. La gorge inférieure du profilé, consistant dans l'évidement entre les deux jambages de la partie basse dédoublée du corps central,permet le placement de panneaux verticaux fermant les extrémités de la structure.The twist resistance of the profile is given to it by the solid body. The hollow bodies improve the stiffening of the entire profile. The lower groove of the profile, consisting of the recess between the two legs of the lower split part of the central body, allows the placement of vertical panels closing the ends of the structure.

Deux arceaux adjacents réalisés à l'aide du profilé de l'invention, peuvent facilement être fixés et maintenus à distance l'un de l'autre, au moyen d'une entretoise passant à travers les deux corps creux de chacun des arceaux. Avantageusement, la gorge inférieure du profilé sert de logement à une vis de fixation passant à travers la partie haute du corps plein et ladite entretoise ; dans ce cas, le profilé comporte de préférence une pièce de fermeture, permettant d'obturer la gorge inférieure, de manière à rentre invisible cette vis de fixation.Two adjacent arches made using the profile of the invention can easily be fixed and kept at a distance from each other, by means of a spacer passing through the two hollow bodies of each of the arches. Advantageously, the lower groove of the profile serves as a housing for a fixing screw passing through the upper part of the solid body and said spacer; in this case, the profile preferably comprises a closing part, making it possible to close the lower groove, so as to return this fixing screw invisible.

De préférence la partie basse dédoublée du corps plein a sensiblement la même hauteur que la partie haute. Ceci apporte une plus grande fiabilité lors du cintrage.Preferably the split lower part of the full body has substantially the same height as the upper part. This provides greater reliability during bending.

De préférence la face de jonction de chaque corps creux est parallèle au plan vertical de symétrie du profilé et est sensiblement dans l'alignement des extrémités libres des autres ailettes.Preferably the junction face of each hollow body is parallel to the vertical plane of symmetry of the profile and is substantially in alignment with the free ends of the other fins.

De préférence la section transversale de la gorge entre les deux jambages est de section rectangulaire.Preferably the cross section of the groove between the two legs is of rectangular section.

Afin d'augmenter la résistance mécanique du profilé et d'apporter au corps porteur plein un raidissement complémentaire, les corps creux ont de préférence une section transversale intérieure en forme de berceau renversé.In order to increase the mechanical resistance of the profile and to provide the full load-bearing body with additional stiffening, the hollow bodies preferably have an internal cross section in the form of an inverted cradle.

Avantageusement, au moins les deux ailettes formant la face inférieure des corps creux comportent sur toute leur longueur, une rainure susceptible de servir de logement à un joint. Ce joint permet d'atténuer les vibrations des plaques de couverture qui sont montées dans les rainures inférieures formées par les deux jeux d'ailettes superposés de la partie basse du profilé.Advantageously, at least the two fins forming the lower face of the hollow bodies have over their entire length, a groove capable of serving as a housing for a seal. This joint attenuates the vibrations of the cover plates which are mounted in the lower grooves formed by the two sets of fins superimposed on the lower part of the profile.

De préférence, le bord supérieur du corps central fait saillie par rapport au plan des deux ailettes du jeu supérieur de la partie haute du profilé. Ce bord permet d'obtenir une meilleure étanchéité lorsqu'on réalise l'assemblage de deux profilés superposés. Dans ce cas la gorge transversale entre les deux jambages du profilé supérieur étant munie d'une bavette d'étanchéité, le bord supérieur du corps central du profilé inférieur vient coopérer avec ladite bavette pour assurer une meilleure étanchéité de l'ensemble.Preferably, the upper edge of the central body projects from the plane of the two fins of the upper clearance of the upper part of the profile. This edge provides a better seal when assembling two superimposed profiles. In this case the transverse groove between the two legs of the upper profile being provided with a sealing flap, the upper edge of the central body of the lower profile cooperates with said flap to ensure better sealing of the assembly.

D'autres caractéristiques et avantages du profilé de l'invention ressortiront de la description suivante de deux modes particuliers de réalisation d'un profilé à corps porteur plein en forme de fourche , et à deux corps creux latéraux, donnée en référence aux dessins annexés, sur lesquels :

  • La figure 1 est une vue partielle en perspective d'un profilé dont les corps creux ont une section transversale intérieure sensiblement rectangulaire,
  • et la figure 2 est une vue partielle en perspective d'un profilé dont les corps creux ont une section transversale intérieure en forme de berceau renversé.

Selon cette section transversale le profilé 1 possède un corps porteur plein 2, en deux parties : une partie haute et une partie basse, en considération du plan médian BB' perpendiculaire au plan vertical AA' de symétrie du profilé.According to this cross section, the profile 1 has a solid carrying body 2, in two parts: an upper part and a lower part, in consideration of the median plane BB 'perpendicular to the vertical plane AA' of symmetry of the profile.

Dans la partie haute, le corps plein est une plaque ayant une épaisseur E, placée le long du plan de symétrie AA'.In the upper part, the solid body is a plate having a thickness E , placed along the plane of symmetry AA '.

Au niveau du plan médian BB', la plaque 3 se partage en deux branches 4 et 5 qui s'éloignent du plan AA', puis se continuent verticalement dans la partie basse en deux jambages 6,7 parallèles et symétriques par rapport au plan AA'. Ces deux jambages ont une épaisseur e, sensiblement moitié de E, et délimitent une gorge verticale 8.At the median plane BB ', the plate 3 is divided into two branches 4 and 5 which move away from the plane AA', then continue vertically in the lower part in two legs 6,7 parallel and symmetrical with respect to the plane AA '. These two legs have a thickness e , substantially half of E , and delimit a vertical groove 8.

Le profilé 1 comporte également quatre jeux superposés 9,10,11,12 de deux ailettes disposées de part et d'autre du corps porteur plein 2, et symétriques l'une de l'autre par rapport au plan AA'. Le jeu 9 constitué des ailettes 9a et 9b et le jeu 10 constitué des ailettes 10a et 10b sont situés au niveau de la plaque 3 en partie haute du corps porteur 2. Le jeu 11 constitué des deux ailettes 11a et 11b et le jeu 12 constitué des deux ailettes 12a et 12b sont situés au niveau des deux jambages 6 et 7 de la partie basse du corps porteur 2.The profile 1 also comprises four superimposed sets 9, 10, 11, 12 of two fins arranged on either side of the solid carrying body 2, and symmetrical to one another with respect to the plane AA '. The set 9 made up of the fins 9a and 9b and the set 10 made up of the fins 10a and 10b are situated at the level of the plate 3 in the upper part of the carrier body 2. The set 11 made up of the two fins 11a and 11b and the set 12 made up of the two fins 12a and 12b are located at the level of the two legs 6 and 7 of the lower part of the carrier body 2.

Les deux ailettes médianes superposées 10a,11a se rejoignent selon une face de jonction 13a qui est, dans l'exemple illustré, parallèle au plan de symétrie AA' et sensiblement dans l'alignement des deux extrémités libres 9'a et 12'a des deux autres ailettes 9a,12a. Les deux ailettes médianes 10a, 11a, la face de jonction correspondante 13a et la partie du corps porteur 2 située entre les deux ailettes médianes 10a, 11a forment un corps latéral creux 14a. Ce corps creux 14a possède une section transversale intérieure de forme sensiblement rectangulaire, hormis la concavité correspondant au décrochement suivant la branche 5 dans le plan médian BB' et le jambage 7.The two superimposed median fins 10a, 11a meet at a junction face 13a which is, in the example illustrated, parallel to the plane of symmetry AA 'and substantially in alignment with the two free ends 9' a and 12 ' at two other fins 9a, 12a. The two median fins 10a, 11a, the corresponding junction face 13a and the part of the carrier body 2 located between the two median fins 10a, 11a form a hollow lateral body 14a. This hollow body 14a has an interior cross section of substantially rectangular shape, except for the concavity corresponding to the step along the branch 5 in the median plane BB 'and the leg 7.

De façon symétrique par rapport au plan AA', les deux ailettes médianes superposées 10b,11b , la face de jonction correspondante 13b et la partie du corps porteur 2 situées entre les deux ailettes médianes 10b et 11b forment un corps latéral creux 14b.Symmetrically with respect to the plane AA ', the two superimposed median fins 10b, 11b, the corresponding junction face 13b and the part of the carrier body 2 located between the two median fins 10b and 11b form a hollow lateral body 14b.

Dans un exemple précis de réalisation, bien sûr non limitatif, il s'agissait d'un profilé métallique dans un alliage aluminium : l'épaisseur E de la plaque pleine 3 était de 5 mm, celle e des jambages 6,7 de 2,5 mm ; l'écartement d entre les deux jambages 6,7 était de 20 mm ; la hauteur totale H du profilé 1 était de 100 mm, le plan BB' étant juste médian.In one exemplary embodiment, of course non-limiting, it was a metallic profile in an aluminum alloy: the thickness E of the solid plate 3 was 5 mm, that of 6.7 e 2 jambs, 5 mm; the distance d between the two legs 6.7 was 20 mm; the total height H of the section 1 was 100 mm, the plane BB 'being just median.

Comme cela apparaît clairement sur la figure, on comprend que, du fait du décrochement latéral des branches 4,5 dans le plan BB', les ailettes 9a,9b,10a,10b de la partie haute ont une surface supérieure à celles 11a,11b,12a, 12b de la partie basse.As is clear from the figure, it can be understood that, due to the lateral offset of the branches 4,5 in the plane BB ', the fins 9a, 9b, 10a, 10b of the upper part have a surface greater than those 11a, 11b , 12a, 12b of the lower part.

Dans la constitution d'arceaux pour structures de couverture découvrable, le profilé 1 est préalablement cintré pour lui donner la courbure adéquate, sachant que généralement un arceau est constituée par l'assemblage de deux profilés cintrés formant chacun un demi-arceau. Pour ce faire, on utilise deux fourreaux d'assemblage qui sont placés à l'intérieur des deux corps creux 14a et 14b des deux profilés à assembler, de telle sorte qu'ils sont positionnés à cheval sur les deux profilés.In the constitution of arches for discoverable cover structures, the profile 1 is previously bent to give it the appropriate curvature, knowing that generally an arch is formed by the assembly of two curved profiles each forming a half-arch. To do this, two assembly sleeves are used which are placed inside the two hollow bodies 14a and 14b of the two profiles to be assembled, so that they are positioned astride the two profiles.

Il est également possible de réaliser un arceau à l'aide d'un unique profilé de l'invention , cintré de manière à lui donner la courbure adéquate. De plus, les arceaux peuvent être de formes variées, et notamment avoir la forme d'une demi-ellipse, dont le grand axe serait confondu avec l'axe vertical de symétrie de l'arceau. Dans ce cas, on obtient un gain en hauteur comparativement à un arceau ayant la forme d'un demi-cercle.It is also possible to make a hoop using a single profile of the invention, curved so as to give it the correct curvature. In addition, the arches can be of various shapes, and in particular have the shape of a half-ellipse, the major axis of which would be coincident with the vertical axis of symmetry of the arch. In this case, a height gain is obtained compared to an arch having the shape of a semicircle.

Les corps creux latéraux 14a et 14b ont plusieurs fonctions : une fonction d'assemblage, comme décrit ci-dessus, de plusieurs profilés pour constituer un arceau unitaire une fonction de fixation au sol, dans laquelle les corps creux sont emmanchés sur une pièce de fixation au sol et fixés à celle-ci par des vis traversant la face de jonction en regard de ladite pièce de fixation du sol. Ils ont aussi un rôle important dans la résistance mécanique du profilé, apportant au corps porteur plein un raidissement complémentaire.The lateral hollow bodies 14a and 14b have several functions: an assembly function, as described above, of several profiles to form a unitary arch, a function of fixing to the ground, in which the hollow bodies are fitted on a fixing piece to the ground and fixed thereto by screws passing through the junction face opposite said ground fixing part. They also have an important role in the mechanical resistance of the profile, providing the full load-bearing body with additional stiffening.

Dans le cas d'une structure à couverture découvrable comportant des arceaux réalisés à l'aide du profilé de l'invention, chaque arceau est fixé et maintenu à distance du ou des deux arceaux qui lui sont adjacents, à l'aide d'une entretoise passant à travers les deux corps creux du profilé. Dans ce cas, la fixation de l'arceau sur l'entretoise peut avantageusement être réalisée à l'aide d'une unique vis de fixation (non représentée) qui passe à travers la partie haute du corps plein 2 et ladite entretoise, et qui est située dans la gorge inférieure 8, correspondant à l'évidemment entre les deux enjambages 6, 7. L'intérieur de la gorge 8, et par la même la vis de fixation est visible de l'intérieur de la structure constituée par les arceaux. Afin de masquer cette vis de fixation , le profilé de l'invention comporte de préférence une pièce de fermeture 18, permettant d'obturer la gorge 8. Cette pièce de fermeture, qui est par exemple enclipsable, permet de donner une finition décorative au profilé.In the case of a structure with a discoverable cover comprising hoops produced using the profile of the invention, each hoop is fixed and kept at a distance from the or two hoops which are adjacent to it, using a spacer passing through the two hollow bodies of the profile. In this case, the fixing of the arch on the spacer can advantageously be carried out using a single fixing screw (not shown) which passes through the upper part of the solid body 2 and said spacer, and which is located in the lower groove 8, corresponding obviously to the two spans 6, 7. The interior of the groove 8, and by the same the fixing screw is visible from the inside of the structure formed by the arches . In order to hide this fixing screw, the profile of the invention preferably comprises a closing piece 18, making it possible to close the groove 8. This closing piece, which is for example snap-on, makes it possible to give a decorative finish to the profile .

La gorge 8, peut également servir de logement soit au panneau vertical fermant l'extrémité de structure soit à une bavette d'étanchéité en caoutchouc dans le cas de deux arceaux superposés. Ce dernier cas de figure peut se présenter en particulier lorsque la structure est du type télescopique c'est-à-dire lorsque un premier ensemble composé de deux arceaux supportant des plaques de couverture peut se déplacer par rapport à un second ensemble d'arceaux et de plaques, longitudinalement par rapport à la direction générale de la structure , et venir s'encastrer sous ce second ensemble. La bavette en caoutchouc, maintenue dans la gorge 8 des profilés du second ensemble, descend au niveau du premier ensemble et réalise l'étanchéité. Afin d'améliorer encore cette étanchéité, le bord supérieur 3a de la plaque 3 formant la partie haute du corps central porteur 2 du profilé de l'invention fait saillie par rapport au plan des deux ailettes supérieures 9a et 9b. De la sorte, le bord supérieur du premier ensemble vient coopérer avec la bavette en caoutchouc qui est maintenue dans la gorge 8 des profilés du second ensemble, afin d'améliorer l'étanchéité.The groove 8 can also serve as housing either for the vertical panel closing the end of the structure or for a rubber sealing flap in the case of two superimposed arches. This latter scenario can occur in particular when the structure is of the telescopic type, that is to say when a first set composed of two arches supporting cover plates can move relative to a second set of arches and of plates, longitudinally relative to the general direction of the structure, and come to be embedded under this second set. The rubber flap, held in the groove 8 of the profiles of the second set, descends to the level of the first set and provides the seal. In order to further improve this seal, the upper edge 3a of the plate 3 forming the upper part of the central supporting body 2 of the profile of the invention projects relative to the plane of the two upper fins 9a and 9b. In this way, the upper edge of the first set cooperates with the rubber flap which is held in the groove 8 of the profiles of the second set, in order to improve the seal.

Les extrémités 6 a, 7 a des jambages 6, 7 du profilé 1 sont avantageusement légèrement recourbées vers l'intérieur de la gorge 8, en sorte d'assurer un certain blocage de la bavette en caoutchouc, et éviter que celle-ci ne sorte de la gorge 8 lors des frottements éventuels contre le premier ensemble.The ends 6 a , 7 has legs 6, 7 of the profile 1 are advantageously slightly curved towards the inside of the groove 8, so as to ensure a certain blocking of the rubber flap, and to prevent it from coming out groove 8 during possible friction against the first set.

La présence de la gorge 8 présente un avantage important, lors du cintrage du profilé 1 : étant donné qu'elle est située dans la partie basse du profilé, tournée vers le côté intérieur de l'arceau et selon l'axe de symétrie du profilé, il s'avère que le cintrage présente une très grande fiabilité.The presence of the groove 8 has an important advantage, when bending the profile 1: since it is located in the lower part of the profile, facing the inside of the arch and along the axis of symmetry of the profile , it turns out that the bending has a very high reliability.

Le profilé 1 tel qu'il vient d'être décrit comporte d'une part deux rainures 15a et 15b symétriques l'une de l'autre par rapport à l'axe AA', et délimitées par les deux ailettes supérieures 9a et 9b et les deux ailettes 10a et 10b formant la face supérieure des corps creux 14a et 14b, et d'autre part deux rainures inférieures 16a et 16b également symétriques l'une de l'autre par rapport au plan AA', et délimitées par les deux ailettes inférieures 12a et 12b, et par les deux ailettes 11a et 11b formant la face inférieure des corps creux 14a et 14b. Le profilé 1 peut donc recevoir quatre plaques de couverture, généralement en matière plastique transparente, à raison d'une plaque de couverture par rainure.The profile 1 as just described comprises on the one hand two grooves 15a and 15b symmetrical to one another with respect to the axis AA ', and delimited by the two upper fins 9a and 9b and the two fins 10a and 10b forming the upper face of the hollow bodies 14a and 14b, and on the other hand two lower grooves 16a and 16b also symmetrical to each other with respect to the plane AA ', and delimited by the two fins lower 12a and 12b, and by the two fins 11a and 11b forming the underside of the hollow bodies 14a and 14b. Profile 1 can therefore receive four cover plates, generally made of transparent plastic, on the basis of one cover plate per groove.

Généralement, dans le cas illustré d'un profilé à quatre rainures, les plaques de couverture insérées dans les deux rainures supérieures 15a,15b et celles insérées dans les deux rainures inférieures 16a et 16b sont montées coulissantes.Generally, in the illustrated case of a profile with four grooves, the cover plates inserted in the two upper grooves 15a, 15b and those inserted in the two lower grooves 16a and 16b are mounted sliding.

On a représenté à la figure 2 un profilé 1' permettant d'illustrer un deuxième mode particulier de réalisation du profilé de l'invention. Par souci de clarté, les éléments communs aux deux profilés 1 et 1' des figures 1 et 2 portent les mêmes références.FIG. 2 shows a profile 1 'which illustrates a second particular embodiment of the profile of the invention. For the sake of clarity, the elements common to the two sections 1 and 1 ′ of FIGS. 1 and 2 have the same references.

Ce profilé 1' se différencie essentiellement du profilé 1 en ce que d'une part les corps creux 14a et 14b ont une section transversale intérieure en forme de berceau renversé, et d'autre part en ce que la hauteur de la gorge 8 formée par les deux jambages 6 et 7 est inférieure à la moitié de la hauteur H du profilé. En d'autres termes, le profilé comporte une partie haute et une partie basse, qui sont délimitées par le plan CC' , et qui ne sont pas égales. En outre contrairement au profilé 1, l'épaisseur des jambages 6 et 7 est sensiblement égale à l'épaisseur de la plaque pleine 3.La forme en berceau renversé des corps creux 14a et 14b permet d'accroître la résistance mécanique du profilé.This profile 1 'differs essentially from profile 1 in that on the one hand the hollow bodies 14a and 14b have an internal cross section in the form of an inverted cradle, and on the other hand that the height of the groove 8 formed by the two legs 6 and 7 is less than half the height H of the profile. In other words, the profile has an upper part and a lower part, which are delimited by the plane CC ', and which are not equal. In addition, unlike profile 1, the thickness of the legs 6 and 7 is substantially equal to the thickness of the solid plate 3. The inverted cradle shape of the hollow bodies 14a and 14b makes it possible to increase the mechanical resistance of the profile.

L'homme du métier pourra, sans pour autant sortir du cadre de l'invention, adapter le profilé de l'invention , en modifiant la section transversale intérieure des corps creux, ou en faisant varier la hauteur des jambages 6 et 7 par rapport à la hauteur totale du profilé.Those skilled in the art can, without departing from the scope of the invention, adapt the profile of the invention, by modifying the internal cross section of the hollow bodies, or by varying the height of the legs 6 and 7 relative to the total height of the profile.

Le demandeur a remarqué que les plaques qui étaient montées coulissantes à l'intérieur des deux rainures inférieures 16a et 16b du profilé 1 de la figure 1 avaient tendance à entrer facilement en vibrations, en provoquant un bruit parasitaire au niveau du profilé. Afin de pallier cet inconvénient, les ailettes 11a et 11b formant la face inférieure des corps creux 14a et 14b sont pourvues respectivement d'une rainure 17a et 17b faisant toute la longueur du corps creux, et destinées à recevoir un joint. Ce joint a pour fonction d'amortir les éventuelles vibrations des plaques montées dans les rainures inférieures 16a et 16b du profilé 1'. De préférence, afin de ne pas gêner le coulissement des plaques qui sont montées à l'intérieur des deux rainures inférieures 16a et 16b, on utilise un joint feutre. Dans le cas du profilé 1', on utilise avantageusement le supplément de matière dans les angles inférieurs des corps creux 14a et 14b, qui est dû à la forme en berceau renversé de la section transversale intérieure de ces corps creux, pour pratiquer les rainures 17a et 17b.The Applicant has noticed that the plates which were slidably mounted inside the two lower grooves 16a and 16b of the section 1 of FIG. 1 tended to easily enter into vibration, causing parasitic noise at the level of the section. In order to overcome this drawback, the fins 11a and 11b forming the lower face of the hollow bodies 14a and 14b are provided respectively with a groove 17a and 17b making the entire length of the hollow body, and intended to receive a seal. The purpose of this seal is to dampen any vibrations of the plates mounted in the lower grooves 16a and 16b of the profile 1 '. Preferably, in order not to hinder the sliding of the plates which are mounted inside the two lower grooves 16a and 16b, a felt seal is used. In the case of profile 1 ′, the additional material is advantageously used in the lower corners of the hollow bodies 14a and 14b, which is due to the inverted cradle shape of the internal cross section of these hollow bodies, to make the grooves 17a and 17b.

L'invention n'est pas limitée aux deux modes de réalisation qui ont été décrits à titre d'exemples non exhaustifs. En particulier il est possible de réaliser des profilés à plus de quatre rainures latérales en disposant d'autres ailettes superposées au niveau soit de la partie haute soit de la partie basse du corps porteur plein.The invention is not limited to the two embodiments which have been described by way of non-exhaustive examples. In particular, it is possible to produce profiles with more than four lateral grooves by having other fins superimposed at either the upper part or the lower part of the solid carrying body.
