Definitions

  • the invention relates to a shading and / or blackout device flexible membrane intended to cover a surface, in particular glazed, such than a veranda, window or the like, comprising a tree on which rolls up and from which at least one flexible membrane takes place, the end is made integral with a support profile.
  • the present invention will find its application in industry specialized in membrane shading and / or shading devices flexible.
  • winding and unwinding shaft is supported only at its ends. Also, it flexes under its own weight. However, due to this deformation, the flexible membrane cannot wrap, evenly around the tree. In addition, it is impossible to stretch it evenly after unwinding.
  • shading devices and / or blinds which differ somewhat from the shades described previously.
  • these devices include a tree around which and on which the flexible membrane is wound and unwound. This tree is subjected to elastic return means ensuring its rotation in the direction corresponding to the winding of the flexible membrane. He is in further, fixed, by means of bearings, situated at its ends, on a support such as a wall or other. As for the end of the membrane, it is made integral with a profile whose lateral ends are move in guide rails while cooperating with means transmission type chain, belt, rope or the like.
  • these transmission means describe a looped circuit and wind up, on the one hand, around a deflection pulley or the like arranged at the lower end of the guide rails and, on the other hand, around a pulley or drive wheel capable of being rotated by motorized or non-motorized control means.
  • This shading and / or blackout device is very complex linked to the transmission means arranged in the guide rails lateral.
  • these guide rails must necessarily be fixed on supports such as profiles used in the composition of the structure of a veranda or constituting the uprights of a window.
  • the invention as characterized in the claims consists of a shading and / or blackout device flexible membrane intended to cover a surface, in particular glazed, said flexible membrane having one end rendered integral with a support profile fixedly mounted on a support such than a wall, this flexible membrane that wraps around and unwind from a movable winding shaft, this being joined together by means of connecting means suitable, from the free end of at least two articulated arms with elastic return in the unfolded position, these arms being themselves mounted articulated in their rear end, on a fixed base located substantially at the height of said profile support to which the end of the membrane is made integral flexible.
  • the present invention relates to a shading device and / or occultation 1 with flexible membrane 2 in particular intended to cover a glass surface 3, such as a veranda, window or the like.
  • this device 1 comprises a winding shaft 4 on which and from which the flexible membrane 2 is wound and unwound, the end of which 5 is made integral with a support profile 6.
  • this support profile 6 is fixed, while that the winding shaft 4 moves in front of or over the glass surface 3 to be covered during deployment and folding of the flexible membrane 2.
  • extension means 9 which, according to the invention, arise, substantially, in the form of at least two arms 10, 11, articulated with elastic return in the unfolded position.
  • these arms 10, 11 are able to push the winding shaft 4 above the surface to be covered 3 during deployment of the flexible membrane 2.
  • the rear end 12 of these arms 10, 11 is mounted articulated on a fixed base 13 located substantially at the height of the support profile 6 which is made integral with the end 5 of the flexible membrane 2.
  • the other free end 14 of these arms 10, 11 is, for its part, connected to the winding shaft 4 by means of connecting means 15 appropriate.
  • these connecting means 15 are in the form of a profile 16 extending parallel substantially above the winding shaft 4. Furthermore, this profile 16 is equipped, at its ends 17, 18, with bearing supports 19 at which the winding shaft 4 is mounted in rotation.
  • the consoles 20 using the cradle configuration partially enveloping the winding shaft 4. Inside these consoles 20, in the form of cradles, can thus refit this winding shaft 4, preventing it from bending under its own weight in the case of a horizontal arrangement or tilted.
  • the peripheral speed of the rollers or rollers, constituting the rolling means 8 is necessarily identical to the peripheral speed of the winding shaft 4 so that it can rest on said rollers or rollers. This avoids, friction which is the cause of premature wear of the flexible membrane 2.
  • these articulated arms 10, 11 do not not unfold in a linear fashion, but form an elbow substantially at height of the intermediate joint 21.
  • the two parts 22, 23 connected by said intermediate articulation 21 and forming an arm 10, 11 are substantially juxtaposed and are located in the same plan.
  • the articulation means 24 via of which the rear end 12 of the articulated arms 10, 11 is connected to the fixed base 13, are determined so as to allow pivoting of said articulated arms 10, 11 about an axis 25 perpendicular to their longitudinal axis and around a substantially horizontal axis 26.
  • the rotation of the shaft winding 4 can be controlled by a tubular motor 7 placed at the interior.
  • the power to this motor 7 is preferably carried out. by a power cable 27 housed in one of the articulated arms 11.
  • the flexible membrane 2 comes from a fabric whose width is necessarily limited. Also, for the cover of large area, it is usual to juxtapose several sections of canvas, the seams or welds extending parallel to the direction of deployment of the flexible membrane. However, such welds or seams necessarily generate local excess thicknesses on the tree winding 4 when said flexible membrane comes gradually wrap around the latter. However, it is obvious that such local excess thicknesses hinder, here again, a suitable winding of the flexible membrane. Also and according to the invention, said flexible membrane 2 consists of one or more sections of welded juxtaposed fabrics or sewn together transversely in the direction of deployment of said flexible membrane 2, ie parallel to the winding shaft 4.
  • such a device according to the invention avoids any guidance lateral of the flexible membrane. Indeed, the squaring of the whole is ensured through the latter constantly maintained in voltage.
  • such a device according to the invention is not very sensitive to wind. especially in the case of an inclined or horizontal arrangement in the measure that the total weight of the winding shaft 4 is based on the supporting structure, for example the structure of a veranda.
