Abstract
Description
L'invention a trait à un dispositif d'ombrage et/ou d'occultation à membrane souple destiné à recouvrir une surface, notamment vitrée, telle qu'une véranda, une fenêtre ou analogue, comprenant un arbre sur lequel s'enroule et duquel se déroule au moins une membrane souple dont l'extrémité est rendue solidaire d'un profilé support.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.
La présente invention trouvera son application auprès des industriels spécialisés dans les dispositifs d'ombrage et/ou d'occultation à membrane souple.The present invention will find its application in industry specialized in membrane shading and / or shading devices flexible.
En fait, l'on connaít déjà un certain nombre de dispositifs d'occultation du type décrit ci-dessus.In fact, we already know a number of masking devices of the type described above.
Ainsi, il existe des dispositifs, souvent dénommés des stores, qui, bien que nullement adaptés pour recouvrir des surfaces vitrées, telles que la toiture d'une véranda, comportent un arbre dont les extrémités sont montées dans des paliers solidaires de supports fixés, par exemple, contre un mur. Sur cet arbre est enroulée une membrane souple dont l'extrémité est rendue solidaire d'un profilé lequel est lui-même fixé sur des bras articulés à moyens de rappel élastiques en position dépliée. Ces bras articulés, dont l'extrémité arrière est fixée, tout comme l'arbre, contre le mur, s'étendent, sous l'action desdits moyens de rappel élastiques, progressivement lors du déroulement de la membrane souple. Ils en assurent, ainsi, le maintien en tension suivant une inclinaison souhaitée au dessus de la surface à protéger des rayons solaires.Thus, there are devices, often called blinds, which, although not at all suitable for covering glass surfaces, such as the roof of a veranda, have a tree whose ends are mounted in bearings integral with fixed supports, for example, against a wall. On this tree is wound a flexible membrane of which the end is made integral with a profile which is itself fixed on articulated arms with elastic return means in the unfolded position. These articulated arms, the rear end of which is fixed, like the shaft, against the wall, extend, under the action of said return means elastic, gradually during the unwinding of the flexible membrane. They thus ensure its maintenance in tension according to an inclination desired above the surface to be protected from sunlight.
En fait, l'impossibilité d'adapter ces stores au recouvrement de surfaces vitrées est dû tout d'abord à leur sensibilité au vent. En effet, le moindre courant d'air confère à l'extrémité de ce store, lorsqu'il est déployé, des battements de sorte qu'il est indispensable de l'écarter suffisamment de la surface vitrée sans quoi il risque de heurter systématiquement contre cette dernière.In fact, the impossibility of adapting these blinds to cover surfaces glass is first of all due to their sensitivity to wind. Indeed, the less air flow gives the end of this blind, when it is deployed, beats so it is essential to spread it enough of the glass surface otherwise it may strike systematically against the latter.
L'on remarque, en outre, que l'arbre d'enroulement et de déroulement n'est soutenu qu'à ses extrémités. Aussi, il fléchit sous son propre poids. Or, en raison de cette déformation, la membrane souple ne peut s'enrouler, de manière régulière autour de l'arbre. De plus, il est impossible de la tendre uniformément une fois déroulée.It is further noted that the 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.
Aussi, au-delà d'une certaine longueur, il est nécessaire de subdiviser l'arbre d'enroulement et de déroulement en plusieurs tronçons d'arbre autorisant l'aménagement de paliers intermédiaires.Also, beyond a certain length, it is necessary to subdivide the winding and unwinding shaft in several tree sections authorizing the development of intermediate landings.
Cependant, cela entraíne l'obligation de subdiviser, également, la membrane en plusieurs tronçons étant donné qu'elle est nécessairement interrompue à hauteur des paliers. Bien sûr, à hauteur de ces interruptions, l'on ne peut empêcher les rayons solaires de pénétrer dans l'habitation ou à l'intérieur de la véranda.However, this entails the obligation to subdivide, also, the membrane in several sections since it is necessarily interrupted at landings. Of course, up to these interruptions, we cannot prevent the sun's rays from entering the house or inside the veranda.
Il existe, également, d'autres types de dispositifs d'ombrage et/ou d'occultation qui se distinguent, quelque peu, des stores décrits précédemment. Ainsi, ces dispositifs comportent un arbre autour duquel et sur lequel s'enroule et se déroule la membrane souple. Cet arbre est soumis à des moyens de rappel élastique assurant sa rotation dans le sens correspondant à l'enroulement de la membrane souple. Il est, en outre, fixé, par l'intermédiaire de paliers, situés à ses extrémités, sur un support tel qu'un mur ou autre. Quant à l'extrémité de la membrane, elle est rendue solidaire d'un profilé dont les extrémités latérales se déplacent dans des rails de guidage tout en coopérant avec des moyens de transmission du type chaíne, courroie, corde ou analogue. En fait, ces moyens de transmission décrivent un circuit bouclé et s'enroulent, d'une part, autour d'une poulie de renvoi ou analogue disposée à l'extrémité inférieure des rails de guidage et, d'autre part, autour d'une poulie ou roue motrice susceptible d'être entraínée en rotation par des moyens de commande motorisés ou non.There are also other types of shading devices and / or blinds which differ somewhat from the shades described previously. Thus, 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. In fact, 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.
Ce dispositif d'ombrage et/ou occultation présente une grande complexité liée aux moyens de transmission disposés dans les rails de guidage latéraux. De plus, ces rails de guidage doivent nécessairement être fixés sur des supports tels que des profilés entrant dans la composition de la structure d'une véranda ou constituant les montants d'une fenêtre.This shading and / or blackout device is very complex linked to the transmission means arranged in the guide rails lateral. In addition, 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.
Il est également connu, par le document FR-A-2.643.110, de substituer aux moyens de transmission, disposés dans les rails de guidage, des bras articulés analogues aux stores. Toutefois, lesdits rails de guidage sont, ici, conservés et accueillent des chariots de guidage solidaires du profilé monté à l'extrémité libre de ces bras articulés et auquel est fixé la toile ou membrane souple quelconque. Aussi, les contraintes sont, sensiblement, similaires à celles énoncées ci-dessus.It is also known from document FR-A-2,643,110 to substitute to the transmission means, arranged in the guide rails, arms hinged analogs to blinds. However, said guide rails are, here, preserved and accommodate guide carriages integral with the profile mounted at the free end of these articulated arms and to which is fixed any canvas or flexible membrane. Also, the constraints are, substantially, similar to those stated above.
Finalement, l'on observe que l'on retrouve, dans ces solutions, les mêmes inconvénients que précédemment mentionnés, c'est à dire que l'arbre d'enroulement et de déroulement doit nécessairement présenter une longueur réduite sans quoi sa déformation risque, à ce point, d'être importante que la membrane souple ne peut être convenablement tendue. Par conséquent, pour couvrir une grande surface il faut faire appel à plusieurs dispositifs juxtaposés qu'il convient, éventuellement, de connecter afin d'assurer un fonctionnement synchronisé. Bien sûr, l'on ne peut utiliser plusieurs dispositifs juxtaposés que s'il est possible de faire supporter la multitude de rails de guidage par une structure support adéquate.Finally, we observe that we find, in these solutions, the same disadvantages as previously mentioned, say that the winding and unwinding shaft must necessarily have a reduced length without which its distortion is likely to be so great that the flexible membrane cannot be properly stretched. Through therefore, to cover a large area it is necessary to call to several juxtaposed devices that are suitable, possibly to connect in order to ensure operation synchronized. Of course, you cannot use several devices juxtaposed only if it is possible to support the multitude of guide rails by a support structure adequate.
Il est encore connu par le document DE-A-40 38 419 un dispositif pour l'enroulement et le déroulement d'une membrane souple destinée à recouvrir des parties de bâtiment telles que vérandas ou analogues. Dans ce cas, ladite membrane souple est fixée, à son extrémité libre, à un profilé support qui, lui, est rapporté contre un mur, tandis que l'autre extrémité de cette membrane souple s'enroule autour et se déroule depuis un arbre d'enroulement du type mobile, venant, par conséquent, se déplacer au-dessus de la surface à recouvrir. A noter que le déploiement de la membrane est obtenu sous l'action de la commande en rotation de l'arbre d'enroulement et sous l'effet de la gravité s'exerçant sur ce dernier.It is also known from document DE-A-40 38 419 a device for winding and unwinding a membrane flexible to cover building parts such as verandas or the like. In this case, said flexible membrane is fixed at its free end to a support profile which is mounted against a wall, while the other end of this flexible membrane is wrapped around and unwound from a mobile type winding shaft, therefore coming move above the surface to be covered. Note that the deployment of the membrane is obtained under the action of rotation control of the winding shaft and under the effect of the gravity acting on the latter.
L'invention telle que caractérisée dans les revendications consiste en un dispositif d'ombrage et/ou d'occultation à membrane souple destiné à recouvrir une surface, notamment vitrée, ladite membrane souple comportant une extrémité rendue solidaire d'un profilé support montée fixe sur un support tel qu'un mur, cette membrane souple venant s'enrouler autour et se dérouler depuis un arbre d'enroulement mobile, celui-ci étant rendu solidaire par l'intermédiaire de moyens de liaison appropriés, de l'extrémité libre d'au moins deux bras articulés à rappel élastique en position dépliée, ces bras étant eux-mêmes montés articulés dans leur extrémité arrière, sur une embase fixe se situant sensiblement à hauteur dudit profilé support auquel est rendue solidaire l'extrémité de la membrane souple.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.
Les avantages obtenus grâce à cette invention consistent en ce que l'arbre d'enroulement et de déroulement n'est plus simplement supporté par ses extrémités, mais sur toute sa longueur par l'intermédiaire de la membrane souple. De ce fait, cet arbre ne peut pas se déformer et l'enroulement de la membrane souple s'effectue, nécessairement, comme il faut, sans qu'il n'y ait de problème d'équerrage provoquant un décalage latéral progressif de ladite membrane souple sur cet arbre en cours d'enroulement.The advantages obtained thanks to this invention consist in that the winding and unwinding shaft is not more simply supported by its ends, but on its entire length via the flexible membrane. Therefore, this tree cannot deform and the flexible membrane is wound, necessarily, as it must, without there being a squaring problem causing an offset progressive lateral of said flexible membrane on this current shaft winding.
Par conséquent, il n'est pas nécessaire de subdiviser l'arbre en plusieurs tronçons quelle que soit la longueur de la surface à recouvrir.Therefore, there is no need to subdivide the tree into multiple sections regardless of the length of the surface to be covered.
De plus, en cas de couverture d'une véranda, le poids total de l'arbre d'enroulement repose sur la structure de cette dernière de sorte que le dispositif ne peut entamer des battements en cas de vent, tel que cela se produit avec les stores.In addition, when covering a veranda, the total weight of the tree of winding rests on the structure of the latter so that the device cannot start beating in a wind like this occurs with blinds.
D'autres buts et avantages de la présente invention apparaítront au cours de la description qui va suivre dont la compréhension sera facilitée en se référant aux dessins joints en annexe :
- la figure 1 représente une vue schématisée et en perspective d'un dispositif d'ombrage et/ou d'occultation, conforme à l'invention, dans une disposition horizontale ou inclinée ;
- la figure 2 est une vue schématisée d'une coupe réalisée à hauteur de l'arbre d'enroulement et de déroulement dans une configuration correspondant à la figure 1.
- Figure 1 shows a schematic perspective view of a shading and / or blackout device according to the invention, in a horizontal or inclined arrangement;
- FIG. 2 is a diagrammatic view of a section made at the height of the winding and unwinding shaft in a configuration corresponding to FIG. 1.
Tel que représenté dans la figure 1 des dessins joints en annexe, la
présente invention est relative à un dispositif d'ombrage et/ou
d'occultation 1 à membrane souple 2 notamment destiné à recouvrir une
surface vitrée 3, telle qu'une véranda, une fenêtre ou analogue.As shown in Figure 1 of the accompanying drawings, the
present invention relates to a shading device and / or
occultation 1 with flexible membrane 2 in particular intended to cover a
Ainsi, ce dispositif 1 comporte un arbre d'enroulement 4 sur lequel et
duquel s'enroule et se déroule la membrane souple 2 dont l'extrémité 5
est rendue solidaire d'un profilé support 6.Thus, 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
Avantageusement, selon l'invention, ce profilé support 6 est fixe, tandis
que l'arbre d'enroulement 4 se déplace au devant ou au-dessus de la
surface vitrée 3 à recouvrir lors du déploiement et du repliement de la
membrane souple 2.Advantageously, according to the invention, this
Ainsi, lorsqu'il s'agit d'occulter une surface vitrée inclinée correspondant
à une disposition illustrée dans la figure 1, l'arbre d'enroulement 4
repose sur cette dernière par l'intermédiaire de moyens de roulement 8
appropriés.So when it comes to obscuring a corresponding inclined glass surface
in an arrangement illustrated in Figure 1, the winding shaft 4
rests on the latter by means of rolling
Il faut observer que dans une position horizontale ou de faible
inclinaison, le déploiement de la membrane souple 2 ne peut se faire
simplement par gravité, c'est-à-dire sous l'influence du poids de l'arbre
qui vient tirer sur la membrane souple 2. Dans ces conditions, il est
utilisé des moyens d'extension 9 qui, selon l'invention, se présentent,
substantiellement, sous forme d'au moins deux bras 10, 11, articulés à
rappel élastique en position dépliée. Ainsi, ces bras 10, 11 sont à même
de repousser l'arbre d'enroulement 4 au-dessus de la surface à recouvrir
3 lors du déploiement de la membrane souple 2. Plus précisément,
l'extrémité arrière 12 de ces bras 10, 11 est montée articulée sur une
embase 13 fixe se situant sensiblement à hauteur du profilé support 6
auquel est rendu solidaire l'extrémité 5 de la membrane souple 2.
L'autre extrémité libre 14 de ces bras 10, 11 est, quant à elle, reliée à
l'arbre d'enroulement 4 par l'intermédiaire de moyens de liaison 15
appropriés.Note that in a horizontal or low position
tilt, deployment of the flexible membrane 2 cannot be done
simply by gravity, i.e. under the influence of the weight of the tree
which comes to pull on the flexible membrane 2. Under these conditions, it is
used extension means 9 which, according to the invention, arise,
substantially, in the form of at least two
Dans le cadre du mode de réalisation illustré dans les figures jointes,
ces moyens de liaison 15 se présentent sous forme d'un profilé 16
s'étendant parallèlement sensiblement au-dessus de l'arbre d'enroulement
4. Par ailleurs, ce profilé 16 est équipé, à ses extrémités 17, 18, de
supports de pallier 19 au niveau desquels l'arbre d'enroulement 4 est
monté en rotation.In the context of the embodiment illustrated in the attached figures,
these connecting
Sur ce profilé 16 sont également montées des consoles 20 également
visibles sur la figure 2, équipées des moyens de roulement 8 sous forme
de rouleaux ou galets à axe de rotation parallèle à l'axe de l'arbre
d'enroulement 4. Avantageusement, les consoles 20 empruntant la
configuration de berceaux enveloppant partiellement l'arbre d'enroulement
4. A l'intérieur de ces consoles 20, en forme de berceaux, peut ainsi
reposer cet arbre d'enroulement 4 en évitant que celui-ci ne fléchisse
sous son propre poids dans le cas d'une disposition horizontale ou
inclinée. A noter, en outre, que la vitesse périphérique des rouleaux ou
galets, constituant les moyens de roulement 8, est nécessairement
identique à la vitesse périphérique de l'arbre d'enroulement 4 de sorte
que celui-ci peut reposer sur ledits rouleaux ou galets. L'on évite, ainsi,
les frottements qui sont à l'origine d'une usure prématurée de la
membrane souple 2.On this
Très souvent, pour des questions de tenue au vent mais également en
vue d'éviter tout contact des bras articulés 10, 11 avec la membrane 2
lorsqu'ils sont en position dépliée, ces bras articulés 10, 11 ne se
déplient pas de manière linéaire, mais forment un coude sensiblement à
hauteur de l'articulation intermédiaire 21. Par contre, en position pliée,
les deux parties 22, 23 reliées par ladite articulation intermédiaire 21 et
formant un bras 10, 11 sont sensiblement juxtaposées et se situent dans
un même plan. Aussi, les moyens d'articulation 24 par l'intermédiaire
desquels l'extrémité arrière 12 des bras articulés 10, 11 est reliée à
l'embase fixe 13, sont déterminés de manière à autoriser un pivotement
desdits bras articulés 10, 11 autour d'un axe 25 perpendiculaire à leur
axe longitudinal et autour d'un axe 26 sensiblement horizontal.Very often, for reasons of wind resistance but also in
view of avoiding contact of the articulated
Ainsi, dans le cadre du mode de réalisation illustré dans la figure 1 lors
du déploiement de la membrane souple 2, la partie arrière 22 des bras
articulés 10, 11 aura tendance à se soulever de manière à s'écarter de
ladite membrane souple 2, ceci en pivotant autour de l'axe horizontal 26.
Cependant, ceci entraíne, également, la rotation du profilé 16 auquel est
reliée l'extrémité 14 des bras articulés 10, 11. Cette rotation s'effectue,
sensiblement, autour de l'axe de l'arbre d'enroulement 4. De manière à
éviter que les moyens de roulement 8, sous l'influence de cette rotation
du profilé 16, ne repose plus sur la structure de la surface à recouvrir,
lesdits moyens de roulement 8 du type rouleaux ou galets sont
dédoublés, tel qu'illustré sur la figure 3. Ainsi, l'on s'assure qu'à tout
moment au moins un de ces rouleaux ou galets conserve le contact avec
la structure portante, correspondant, par exemple, à celle de la véranda
à recouvrir, quelle que soit la position angulaire des consoles 20
supportant ces moyens de roulement 8 et reliées au profilé 16.Thus, within the framework of the embodiment illustrated in FIG. 1 during
deployment of the flexible membrane 2, the
Dans le cadre de la figure 1, il est illustré un mode d'exécution de la
présente invention selon lequel les bras articulés 10, 11 s'étendent au-dessus
de la membrane souple 2. 11 est bien entendu qu'il est tout à fait
envisageable de disposer ces bras articulés 10, 11 sous la membrane
souple 2. En effet, il suffit, à ce moment là, que les embases 13 se
situent sous le profilé support 6 et que le profilé 16 soit disposé à
l'avant de l'arbre d'enroulement 4, sous la membrane souple 2 au lieu de
s'étendre, tel que représenté dans les figures 1 et 2, parallèlement au-dessus
de cet arbre d'enroulement 4.In the context of FIG. 1, an embodiment of the
present invention in which the articulated
L'on remarquera, en outre, que dans une disposition inclinée correspondant à la figure 1, la membrane souple 2 s'enroule autour de l'arbre d'enroulement 4 par le dessus de ce dernier. Bien qu'il est possible d'envisager un enroulement par le dessous de l'arbre d'enroulement 4, la solution ci-dessus est préférable dans la mesure où l'on évite l'enroulement sur les saletés reposant sur la membrane souple 2. Bien au contraire, ces saletés sont évacuées librement en cours d'enroulement de ladite membrane souple 2.It will also be noted that in an inclined arrangement corresponding to FIG. 1, the flexible membrane 2 is wound around the winding shaft 4 from above the latter. Although it is possible to consider winding from below the tree winding 4, the above solution is preferable since avoiding coiling on dirt resting on the flexible membrane 2. On the contrary, this dirt is freely removed during the course winding of said flexible membrane 2.
Plus haut dans la description, il a été précisé que la rotation de l'arbre
d'enroulement 4 peut être commandée par un moteur tubulaire 7 placé à
l'intérieur. L'alimentation de ce moteur 7 s'effectue, préférentiellement,
par un câble d'alimentation 27 logé dans un des bras articulés 11.Earlier in the description, it was clarified that the rotation of the shaft
winding 4 can be controlled by a
Il convient d'observer que la membrane souple 2 est issue d'une toile dont la largeur est nécessairement limitée. Aussi, pour la couverture de surface importante, il est usuel de juxtaposer plusieurs tronçons de toile, les coutures ou soudures s'étendant parallèlement au sens du déploiement de la membrane souple. Cependant, de telles soudures ou coutures génèrent, obligatoirement, des surépaisseurs locales sur l'arbre d'enroulement 4 lorsque ladite membrane souple vient progressivement s'enrouler autour de ce dernier. Or, il est évident que de telles surépaisseurs locales gênent, là encore, un enroulement convenable de la membrane souple. Aussi et selon l'invention, ladite membrane souple 2 est constituée d'un ou plusieurs tronçons de toiles juxtaposés soudés ou cousus ensembles transversalement au sens du déploiement de ladite membrane souple 2, soit parallèlement à l'arbre d'enroulement 4.It should be observed that 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.
Les avantages issus de cette invention consistent, essentiellement, en ce que l'on est certain d'un enroulement convenable de la membrane souple 2 autour de l'arbre d'enroulement 4, quelle que soit la longueur de celui-ci. Par conséquent, la longueur d'un tel dispositif conforme à l'invention peut être ajustée, sans difficultés, à des surfaces vitrées importantes.The advantages resulting from this invention consist, essentially, in that one is certain of a suitable winding of the membrane flexible 2 around the winding shaft 4, whatever the length of it. Therefore, the length of such a device conforms to the invention can be easily adjusted to glazed surfaces important.
Par ailleurs, un tel dispositif conforme à l'invention évite tout guidage latéral de la membrane souple. En effet, l'équerrage de l'ensemble est assuré par l'intermédiaire de cette dernière maintenue constamment en tension.Furthermore, 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.
En outre, un tel dispositif selon l'invention est peu sensible au vent notamment dans le cas d'une disposition inclinée ou horizontale dans la mesure où le poids total de l'arbre d'enroulement 4 repose sur la structure portante, par exemple la structure d'une véranda.In addition, 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.
