Abstract

The fixing, for a roller blind shaft (1) which has one end (2) able to rotate on a section of a telescopic axle (7), consists of a coupling (15) in the form of a bush (16) projecting from a fixed side plate, retainers (19, 29) on the axle and bush, and a spring clip (27) to hold them together. The retainers on the axle are in the form of two tongues (21) which extend radially from its outer surface diametrically opposite one another and fit into slots (24) in the bush (16). The bush has retainers in the form of radial projections which are located adjacent to the two tongues when the axle is inserted into the bush, and the spring clip fits between the two sets of projections to hold them together.

Description

L'invention a trait à un dispositif de fixation d'un arbre de volet roulant dont au moins une extrémité est montée en rotation sur un tronçon d'axe télescopique rendu solidaire d'une joue support à l'aide de moyens de liaison escamotables.The invention relates to a device for fixing a roller shutter shaft, at least one end of which is mounted for rotation on a section of telescopic axis made integral with a support cheek by means of retractable connecting means.

La présente invention trouvera son application dans le domaine des volets roulants.The present invention will find its application in the field of roller shutters.

D'une manière habituelle, un volet roulant pour porte, fenêtre ou analogue, comporte un arbre sur lequel et duquel s'enroule et se déroule un tablier constitué par une juxtaposition de lames reliées les unes aux autres à l'aide de moyens d'articulation appropriés. Cet arbre d'enroulement dudit tablier est monté en rotation sur des tronçons d'axe qui se présentent saillants à ses extrémités et sont fixés sur des joues supports. Celles-ci peuvent être rapportées sur la maçonnerie ou encore sur l'extrémité supérieure de coulisses contribuant au guidage du tablier lors de ses déplacements.In a usual manner, a rolling shutter for a door, window or the like, comprises a shaft on which and from which an apron is rolled up and unwound consisting of a juxtaposition of blades connected to each other by means of appropriate articulation. This winding shaft of said deck is rotatably mounted on sections of axis which are projecting at its ends and are fixed on support cheeks. These can be attached to the masonry or even on the upper end of slides contributing to the guiding of the deck during its movements.

Sur l'une des extrémités d'un tel arbre d'enroulement sont montés, en outre, les moyens d'entraînement en rotation qui peuvent être du type manuel, tels qu'une poulie, un treuil ou analogue, ou encore du type à commande électrique. Tout particulièrement, il est connu, pour l'entraînement de tels volets roulants, des moteurs tubulaires qui sont engagés dans cette extrémité de l'arbre d'enroulement en vue d'en assurer la rotation par l'intermédiaire de moyens de transmission appropriés. En fait, la présence même de tels moyens d'entraînement, quelles que soient leurs caractéristiques, fait en sorte que la cote, entre la joue support et l'extrémité, proprement dite, de l'arbre d'enroulement, est figée. Toutefois, la distance séparant deux joues supports est, elle, susceptible de varier en fonction des contraintes rencontrées au moment même de la pose du volet roulant. C'est pour cela que, très souvent, le tronçon d'axe, sur lequel est monté en rotation l'arbre d'enroulement, à son extrémité opposée aux moyens d'entraînement, est du type télescopique. Plus précisément, la longueur saillante de ce tronçon d'axe par rapport à l'extrémité de l'arbre d'enroulement est ajustable, permettant, ainsi, de rattraper les différences dimensionnelles rencontrées.On one end of such a winding shaft are mounted, in addition, the rotary drive means which may be of the manual type, such as a pulley, a winch or the like, or of the online order. In particular, it is known, for driving such roller shutters, tubular motors which are engaged in this end of the winding shaft in order to ensure their rotation by means of suitable transmission means. In fact, the very presence of such drive means, whatever their characteristics, means that the dimension, between the support cheek and the end, proper, of the winding shaft, is fixed. However, the distance separating two supporting cheeks is itself liable to vary as a function of the constraints encountered at the time of fitting the roller shutter. This is why, very often, the axis section, on which is mounted in rotation the winding shaft, at its end opposite to the drive means, is of the telescopic type. More precisely, the protruding length of this section of axis relative to the end of the winding shaft is adjustable, thus making it possible to make up for the dimensional differences encountered.

Ce montage télescopique d'un tel tronçon d'axe sur lequel est monté en rotation l'arbre d'enroulement du volet roulant, présente, également, un autre intérêt, à savoir qu'il facilite, considérablement, la pose dudit volet roulant. En effet, l'on peut, de ce fait, envisager un emboîtement axial de l'ensemble du mécanisme sur les joues supports préalablement fixées sur la maçonnerie ou autre.This telescopic mounting of such a section of axis on which is mounted in rotation the winding shaft of the rolling shutter, also has another advantage, namely that it considerably facilitates the installation of said rolling shutter. Indeed, one can, therefore, consider an axial interlocking of the entire mechanism on the support cheeks previously fixed on the masonry or other.

A ce propos, la fixation de l'extrémité libre d'un tel tronçon d'axe sur une joue support s'effectue, essentiellement, de la manière suivante : cette extrémité libre du tronçon d'axe constitué, substantiellement, par un tube, est, soit positionnée dans un berceau, soit engagée dans une douille équipant la joue support. L'extrémité du tube définissant ce tronçon d'axe comporte, de manière diamétralement opposée, des ouvertures que l'on vient positionner au droit d'ouvertures ménagées au niveau du berceau ou de ladite douille en vue d'engager une goupille de blocage. Celle-ci est ensuite déformée de manière à ce qu'elle ne s'échappe involontairement. Il est également usuel d'aménager dans le fond d'un berceau venant équiper la joue support, une dent, analogue à une goupille que l'on vient insérer dans les ouvertures traversant, de manière diamétralement opposée, l'extrémité du tronçon d'axe.In this regard, the fixing of the free end of such a section of axis on a support cheek is carried out, essentially, in the following manner: this free end of the section of axis constituted, substantially, by a tube, is either positioned in a cradle, or engaged in a socket fitted to the support cheek. The end of the tube defining this section of axis comprises, in a diametrically opposite manner, openings which have been positioned in line with openings made at the level of the cradle or of said bushing in order to engage a locking pin. It is then deformed so that it does not escape involuntarily. It is also customary to arrange in the bottom of a cradle which comes to equip the support cheek, a tooth, similar to a pin which is inserted into the openings crossing, diametrically opposite, the end of the section of axis.

Le problème que pose, précisément, un tel montage, s'observe, plus particulièrement, dans le cas d'un entraînement motorisé du volet roulant. En effet, l'obstruction procurée par la goupille, immobilisant en translation et en rotation par rapport à la joue support, le tronçon d'axe situé à l'extrémité de l'arbre d'enroulement, opposée par rapport aux moyens moteurs, empêche l'aménagement de toute commande de secours. Aussi, il est très fréquent de ne pas équiper, pour ces raisons, un volet roulant motorisé de moyens d'entraînement de secours.The problem posed, precisely, such an assembly is observed, more particularly, in the case of a motorized drive of the roller shutter. Indeed, the obstruction provided by the pin, immobilizing in translation and in rotation relative to the support cheek, the section of axis located at the end of the winding shaft, opposite relative to the motor means, prevents the development of any emergency control. Also, it is very common not to equip, for these reasons, a motorized roller shutter with emergency drive means.

A ce propos, il faut toutefois observer que l'on a déjà imaginé, par le passé, d'équiper la joue support d'un palier tubulaire, sous forme d'une pièce en matière plastique, sur lequel est directement montée l'extrémité de l'arbre d'enroulement. Par ailleurs, au travers de ce palier tubulaire, l'on vient insérer, dans ledit arbre d'enroulement, un arbre de transmission qui peut être entraîné en rotation par des moyens manuels du type treuil, poulie ou analogue. Cet arbre de transmission retransmet son mouvement audit arbre d'enroulement, soit d'une manière directe, soit au travers d'un différentiel de configuration appropriée.In this regard, it should however be observed that it has already been imagined, in the past, to equip the support cheek with a tubular bearing, in the form of a plastic part, on which the end is directly mounted. of the winding shaft. Furthermore, through this tubular bearing, there is inserted, in said winding shaft, a transmission shaft which can be rotated by manual means of the winch, pulley or similar type. This transmission shaft transmits its movement to said winding shaft, either directly, or through a differential of suitable configuration.

L'on voit, immédiatement, l'inconvénient majeur d'une telle construction, à savoir qu'il y a absence totale, dans ces conditions, de moyens d'ajustement axial de l'arbre d'enroulement par rapport à la position des joues supports. En effet, la présence du palier tubulaire sur lequel est monté l'arbre d'enroulement impose, bien évidemment, la suppression du tronçon d'axe télescopique. En outre, du côté opposé, c'est-à-dire du côté motorisation, tout moyen d'ajustement axial n'est guère envisageable.We can immediately see the major drawback of such a construction, namely that there is a total absence, under these conditions, of means for axial adjustment of the winding shaft relative to the position of the support cheeks. Indeed, the presence of the tubular bearing on which is mounted the winding shaft requires, of course, the elimination of the telescopic axis section. In addition, on the opposite side, that is to say on the motorization side, any means of axial adjustment is hardly possible.

Finalement, la présente invention a pour but d'apporter une solution au problème précité, c'est-à-dire une solution qui permette d'envisager l'équipement d'un volet roulant motorisé d'une commande de secours, sans que cela ne remette en cause la présence d'un tronçon d'axe télescopique à l'extrémité opposée de l'arbre d'enroulement, ceci par rapport à ladite motorisation.Finally, the present invention aims to provide a solution to the aforementioned problem, that is to say a solution which makes it possible to envisage equipping a motorized roller shutter with an emergency control, without this does not call into question the presence of a telescopic axis section at the opposite end of the winding shaft, this with respect to said motorization.

L'invention, telle qu'elle est caractérisée dans les revendications, résout le problème et consiste en un dispositif de fixation d'un arbre de volet roulant dont au moins une extrémité est montée en rotation sur un tronçon d'axe télescopique rendu solidaire d'une joue support à l'aide de moyens de liaison escamotables, ces moyens de liaison escamotables étant constitués, en combinaison, par :

  • un embout tubulaire comportant un alésage ajusté au diamètre du tronçon d'axe pour recevoir la partie d'extrémité de ce dernier ;
  • des moyens de retenue aménagés en périphérie de cette partie d'extrémité dudit tronçon d'axe qui en assure le blocage en rotation lorsqu'ils sont amenés à coopérer avec des moyens de retenue complémentaires équipant la paroi de l'embout tubulaire.
  • et des moyens de blocage axial, de nature escamotable, de ladite partie d'extrémité du tronçon d'axe dans l'embout tubulaire, sous forme de moyens de verrouillage s'opposant au dégagement des moyens de retenue correspondant au tronçon d'axe par rapport aux moyens de retenue complémentaires associés à l'embout tubulaire.
The invention, as characterized in the claims, solves the problem and consists of a device for fixing a roller shutter shaft, at least one end of which is rotatably mounted on a section of telescopic axis made integral with a support cheek using retractable connection means, these retractable connection means being constituted, in combination, by:
  • a tubular end piece having a bore adjusted to the diameter of the axis section to receive the end portion of the latter;
  • retaining means arranged at the periphery of this end part of said section of axis which ensures its rotation lock when they are brought to cooperate with complementary retaining means equipping the wall of the tubular endpiece.
  • and axial locking means, of retractable nature, of said end portion of the axis section in the tubular end piece, in the form of locking means opposing the release of the retaining means corresponding to the axis section by compared to the additional retaining means associated with the tubular end piece.

Selon un mode de réalisation préférentiel, les moyens de retenue aménagés en périphérie de la partie d'extrémité du tronçon d'axe se présentent sous forme d'au moins une languette s'étendant, radialement, en périphérie de ce tronçon d'axe, tandis que les moyens de retenue complémentaires sont constitués par au moins une rainure usinée axialement dans la paroi de l'embout tubulaire et débouchant à l'extrémité libre de ce dernier.According to a preferred embodiment, the retaining means arranged at the periphery of the end part of the axis section are in the form of at least one tongue extending, radially, at the periphery of this axis section, while the complementary retaining means consist of at least one groove machined axially in the wall of the tubular end piece and opening out at the free end of the latter.

Quant aux moyens de blocage axial, ils sont conçus, préférentiellement, sous forme d'un circlips à même d'être engagé au-dessus de l'embout tubulaire associé à la joue support en vue de verrouiller l'ergot ou la languette s'étendant, radialement, par rapport au tronçon d'axe, dans ladite rainure axiale aménagée dans la paroi de cet embout tubulaire.As for the axial locking means, they are preferably designed in the form of a circlip capable of being engaged above the tubular end piece associated with the support cheek in order to lock the lug or the tongue s'. extending, radially, relative to the axis section, in said axial groove arranged in the wall of this tubular end piece.

Les avantages découlant de la présente invention consistent, essentiellement, en ce qu'aucun organe des moyens de liaison escamotables, conforme à l'invention, ne vient entraver le passage d'un arbre de transmission correspondant à une manoeuvre de secours à l'intérieur du tronçon d'axe sur lequel est monté en rotation l'arbre d'enroulement du tablier. Par ailleurs, ce tronçon d'axe est à même de conserver sa propriété télescopique par rapport à l'extrémité de l'arbre d'enroulement, tel que cela apparaîtra plus en avant dans la description qui va suivre.The advantages arising from the present invention consist essentially in that no member of the retractable connection means, in accordance with the invention, impedes the passage of a transmission shaft corresponding to an emergency operation inside. of the axis section on which the winding shaft of the deck is rotatably mounted. Furthermore, this section of axis is capable of retaining its telescopic property with respect to the end of the winding shaft, as will appear further in the description which follows.

Ainsi, cette invention est exposée plus en détail dans cette description se rapportant au dessin joint en annexe représentant seulement un mode d'exécution.

La présente invention concerne, plus particulièrement, le domaine des volets roulants. Ainsi, un tel volet roulant comporte, tel que représenté dans la figure 1, un arbre 1 sur lequel s'enroule et duquel se déroule un tablier (non représenté) constitué par une juxtaposition de lames articulées les unes par rapport aux autres.The present invention relates, more particularly, to the field of roller shutters. Thus, such a shutter comprises, as shown in Figure 1, a shaft 1 on which is wound and from which takes place an apron (not shown) formed by a juxtaposition of blades hinged relative to each other.

Cet arbre 1, dénommé dans la suite de la description arbre d'enroulement, est maintenu en rotation, à ses extrémités 2, 3, par des joues supports 4, 5 lesquelles peuvent être rendues solidaires de la maçonnerie, au niveau d'une embrasure aménagée dans une habitation et correspondant à une porte, fenêtre ou analogue destinée à accueillir, précisément, le volet roulant. De telles joues supports 4, 5 peuvent encore être fixées sur l'extrémité supérieure de coulisses latérales ayant pour but de guider le tablier du volet roulant lors de ses déplacements. Ces coulisses latérales n'ont pas été représentées sur le dessin ci-joint s'agissant d'éléments parfaitement connus par l'Homme du Métier.This shaft 1, referred to in the following description as the winding shaft, is kept in rotation, at its ends 2, 3, by supporting cheeks 4, 5 which can be made integral with the masonry, at a recess fitted in a dwelling and corresponding to a door, window or the like intended to accommodate, precisely, the roller shutter. Such support cheeks 4, 5 can also be fixed on the upper end of lateral slides whose purpose is to guide the apron of the rolling shutter during its movements. These lateral slides have not been shown in the attached drawing in the case of elements perfectly known to those skilled in the art.

La présente invention s'attache, plus particulièrement, au cas de figure représenté dans la figure 1, c'est-à-dire dans une situation où l'arbre d'enroulement 1 comporte des moyens d'entraînement motorisés 6 se situant à l'une de ses extrémités 3 et dont l'extrémité opposée 2 est montée en rotation sur un tronçon d'axe 7 dont la partie d'extrémité 8 vient se fixer sur la joue support 4.The present invention relates, more particularly, to the case shown in Figure 1, that is to say in a situation where the winding shaft 1 comprises motorized drive means 6 located at the 'one of its ends 3 and whose opposite end 2 is rotatably mounted on a section of axis 7, the end part 8 of which is fixed to the support cheek 4.

Tout particulièrement, les moyens d'entraînement motorisés 6 peuvent se présenter, tels que représentés schématisés dans cette figure 1, sous forme d'un moteur tubulaire 9 introduit, de manière connue, dans l'extrémité 3 de l'arbre d'enroulement 1. De plus, celui-ci est maintenu en rotation, à cette extrémité 3 par l'intermédiaire d'un palier 10 rendu solidaire de la joue support 5.In particular, the motorized drive means 6 can be, as shown diagrammatically in this FIG. 1, in the form of a tubular motor 9 introduced, in a known manner, into the end 3 of the winding shaft 1 In addition, the latter is kept in rotation at this end 3 by means of a bearing 10 made integral with the support cheek 5.

A son extrémité opposée 2, comme déjà indiqué ci-dessus, cet arbre d'enroulement 1 est monté en rotation sur un tronçon d'axe 7, ceci par l'intermédiaire de deux paliers internes 11, 12, encore dénommés tandem dans la profession. En fait, ils permettent un montage télescopique dudit tronçon d'axe 7 par rapport à l'arbre d'enroulement 1. Ainsi, le premier 11 de ces paliers, se situant à l'extrémité même de l'arbre d'enroulement 1, est immobilisé en translation par rapport à ce dernier tandis qu'il est coulissant sur le tronçon d'axe 7. Contrairement, le second palier interne 12 coulisse à l'intérieur de cet arbre d'enroulement 1.At its opposite end 2, as already indicated above, this winding shaft 1 is rotatably mounted on a section of axis 7, this by means of two internal bearings 11, 12, also called tandem in the profession . In fact, they allow telescopic mounting of said section of axis 7 with respect to the winding shaft 1. Thus, the first 11 of these bearings, being situated at the very end of the winding shaft 1, is immobilized in translation relative to this the latter while it is sliding on the section of axis 7. In contrast, the second internal bearing 12 slides inside this winding shaft 1.

Cette qualité télescopique du tronçon d'axe 7 est particulièrement appréciable puisque non seulement elle permet de compenser les variations de distance possibles entre les joues supports 4, 5, mais, en outre, elle facilite le montage et la pose du volet roulant.This telescopic quality of the axis section 7 is particularly appreciable since not only does it make it possible to compensate for the possible variations in distance between the support cheeks 4, 5, but, moreover, it facilitates the mounting and installation of the roller shutter.

Dans une telle configuration correspondant à un volet roulant motorisé, il est souhaitable de disposer de moyens de manoeuvre de secours 13 qui, en raison de l'encombrement procuré par les moyens d'entraînement motorisés 6 à l'extrémité 3 de l'arbre d'enroulement 1, ne peuvent intervenir qu'au niveau de l'extrémité opposée 2 de ce dernier.In such a configuration corresponding to a motorized roller shutter, it is desirable to have emergency operating means 13 which, due to the space provided by the motorized drive means 6 at the end 3 of the shaft d winding 1, can only intervene at the opposite end 2 of the latter.

En fait, la présente invention concerne un dispositif de fixation 14 de l'arbre d'enroulement 1 sur lesdites joues supports 4, 5, qui répond de manière avantageuse aux contraintes qui ont été présentées plus haut. Ainsi, ce dispositif de fixation 14 se veut à même de résoudre le problème de la fixation de la partie d'extrémité 8 du tronçon d'axe 7 sur la joue support 4 autorisant cette coopération des moyens de commande de secours 13 avec ledit arbre d'enroulement 1. Dans ce but, ce dispositif de fixation 14 fait appel à des moyens de liaison escamotables 15, plus particulièrement illustrés dans la figure 2, et qui comportent, notamment, un embout tubulaire 16 rapporté, par soudure ou par l'intermédiaire d'une embase appropriée, sur la joue support 4. Cet embout tubulaire 16 comporte un alésage 17 ajusté au diamètre 18 du tronçon d'axe 7 lui permettant de recevoir la partie d'extrémité 8 de ce dernier.In fact, the present invention relates to a device 14 for fixing the winding shaft 1 to said support cheeks 4, 5, which advantageously responds to the constraints which have been presented above. Thus, this fixing device 14 is intended to be able to solve the problem of fixing the end part 8 of the axis section 7 on the support cheek 4 allowing this cooperation of the emergency control means 13 with said shaft d 'winding 1. For this purpose, this fixing device 14 uses retractable connecting means 15, more particularly illustrated in Figure 2, and which comprise, in particular, a tubular end piece 16 attached, by welding or via an appropriate base, on the support cheek 4. This tubular endpiece 16 has a bore 17 adjusted to the diameter 18 of the section of axis 7 allowing it to receive the end portion 8 of the latter.

Ces moyens de liaison escamotables 15 se distinguent, en outre, par des moyens de retenue 19 aménagés en périphérie de cette partie d'extrémité 8 du tronçon d'axe 7 et ayant pour fonction d'assurer le blocage en rotation de ce dernier lorsqu'ils sont amenés à coopérer avec des moyens de retenue complémentaires 20 équipant l'embout tubulaire 16.These retractable connecting means 15 are further distinguished by retaining means 19 arranged on the periphery of this part. end 8 of the axis section 7 and having the function of ensuring the rotation of the latter when they are brought to cooperate with complementary retaining means 20 equipping the tubular endpiece 16.

Préférentiellement, lesdits moyens de retenue 19 se présentent sous forme d'au moins une languette 21 s'étendant radialement en périphérie de cette partie d'extrémité 8 du tronçon d'axe 7. Tout particulièrement, celui-ci étant du type tubulaire, des découpes axiales 22 sont réalisées dans l'extrémité 23 du tronçon d'axe 7 de manière à délimiter une languette 21 qui est alors repliée radialement vers l'extérieur du tube correspondant à ce tronçon d'axe 7. Il apparaît, de manière évidente, qu'une telle conception est de réalisation simple et peu coûteuse.Preferably, said retaining means 19 are in the form of at least one tongue 21 extending radially at the periphery of this end part 8 of the section of axis 7. Very particularly, the latter being of the tubular type, axial cuts 22 are made in the end 23 of the section of axis 7 so as to delimit a tongue 21 which is then folded radially towards the outside of the tube corresponding to this section of axis 7. It appears, in an obvious manner, that such a design is simple and inexpensive to produce.

Préférentiellement, deux languettes 21 s'étendant radialement et de manière diamétralement opposée par rapport à la partie d'extrémité 8 du tronçon d'axe 7, définissent lesdits moyens de retenue 19.Preferably, two tongues 21 extending radially and diametrically opposite with respect to the end part 8 of the section of axis 7, define said retaining means 19.

Quant aux moyens de retenue complémentaires 20, ils se présentent sous forme d'au moins une rainure 24 aménagée, axialement, dans la paroi 25 de l'embout tubulaire 16 tout en débouchant à l'extrémité libre 26 de ce dernier. Cette ou ces rainures 24 sont disposées, au niveau de cet embout tubulaire 16, en concordance avec la ou les languettes 21 du tronçon d'axe 7, permettant l'emboîtement.As for the complementary retaining means 20, they are in the form of at least one groove 24 arranged, axially, in the wall 25 of the tubular endpiece 16 while opening at the free end 26 of the latter. This or these grooves 24 are arranged, at the level of this tubular endpiece 16, in accordance with the tongue or tongues 21 of the section of axis 7, allowing the interlocking.

Conformément à l'invention, les moyens de liaison escamotables 15 sont complétés par des moyens de blocage axial 27, de nature escamotable, dudit tronçon d'axe 7 dans l'embout tubulaire 16. Avantageusement, ces moyens de blocage axial 27 ce présentent sous forme de moyens de verrouillage empêchant le retrait de la ou des languettes 21, définissant les moyens de retenue 19, de la ou des rainures 24 correspondant aux moyens de retenue complémentaires 20.According to the invention, the retractable connecting means 15 are supplemented by axial locking means 27, of retractable nature, of said axis section 7 in the tubular end piece 16. Advantageously, these axial locking means 27 have this form of locking means preventing the withdrawal of the tab or tabs 21, defining the retaining means 19, of the groove or grooves 24 corresponding to the complementary retaining means 20.

Ainsi, selon un mode de réalisation préférentiel, ces moyens de blocage axial 27 sont constitués par un circlips 28 à même d'être engagé sur l'embout tubulaire 16, à l'arrière d'organes de retenue 29 empêchant le dégagement axial de ce circlips 28 à l'extrémité libre 26 de cet embout tubulaire 16. Dans ces conditions, ce circlips 28 vient, simultanément, empêcher le dégagement des moyens de retenue 19 par rapport aux moyens de retenue complémentaires 20 lorsque la partie de l'extrémité 8 du tronçon d'axe 7 est engagée dans l'embout tubulaire 16. Plus précisément, le montage du circlips 28 effectué, celui-ci vient se positionner à l'avant de la ou des languettes 21, engagées dans la ou les rainures 24 et s'opposer, de cette manière, au dégagement de ces languettes 21 par rapport auxdites rainures 24.Thus, according to a preferred embodiment, these axial locking means 27 are constituted by a circlip 28 capable of being engaged on the tubular endpiece 16, at the rear of retaining members 29 preventing the axial disengagement of this circlips 28 at the free end 26 of this tubular end piece 16. Under these conditions, this circlip 28 comes simultaneously to prevent the release of the retaining means 19 relative to the complementary retaining means 20 when the end portion 8 of the axis section 7 is engaged in the tubular end piece 16. More specifically, the mounting of the circlip 28 has been carried out, the latter comes to be positioned at the front of the tongue or tongues 21, engaged in the groove or grooves 24 and s oppose, in this way, the release of these tongues 21 with respect to said grooves 24.

Selon un premier mode d'exécution, plus particulièrement illustré dans le dessin ci-joint, les rainures 24 sont, en fait, des découpes usinées dans l'épaisseur de la paroi 25 de l'embout tubulaire 16 permettant aux languettes 21, dont la longueur est prévue en conséquence, de se présenter saillantes en périphérie 30 dudit embout tubulaire 16. Ainsi, en venant se positionner entre les organes de retenue 29 et ces languettes saillantes 21 insérées dans les rainures 24, le circlips 28 vient immobiliser parfaitement, le tronçon d'axe 7 axialement dans l'embout tubulaire 16. Selon un second mode d'exécution, la ou les rainures 24 dans la paroi 25 de l'embout tubulaire 16, ne débouchent pas en périphérie 30 de ce dernier, tandis que les languettes 21 sont, elles, de longueur plus réduite ajustées à la profondeur des rainures 24. Le circlips 28 vient, alors, se loger dans une rainure en périphérie de l'embout tubulaire 16, rainure qui débouche dans les rainures axiales 24 de sorte qu'une fois le circlips 28 en position, il puisse, effectivement, s'opposer au retrait desdites languettes 21 correspondant aux tronçons d'axe 7 de ces rainures axiales 24 de l'embout tubulaire 16.According to a first embodiment, more particularly illustrated in the attached drawing, the grooves 24 are, in fact, cutouts machined in the thickness of the wall 25 of the tubular endpiece 16 allowing the tongues 21, the length is provided accordingly, to be projecting at the periphery 30 of said tubular endpiece 16. Thus, coming to be positioned between the retaining members 29 and these projecting tabs 21 inserted in the grooves 24, the circlip 28 comes to immobilize perfectly, the section axis 7 axially in the tubular end piece 16. According to a second embodiment, the groove or grooves 24 in the wall 25 of the tubular end piece 16 do not open at the periphery 30 of the latter, while the tongues 21 are themselves of shorter length adjusted to the depth of the grooves 24. The circlip 28 then comes to be housed in a groove at the periphery of the tubular endpiece 16, a groove which opens into the axial grooves 24 so that once the circlip 28 is in position, it can effectively oppose the withdrawal of said tongues 21 corresponding to the axis sections 7 of these axial grooves 24 of the tubular endpiece 16.

Les avantages qui découlent de cette invention consistent, bien entendu, en ce que, tel que représenté dans les figures 1 et 3, rien ne s'oppose, intérieurement au tronçon d'axe 7, de forme tubulaire, au passage d'un arbre de transmission 31 correspondant à des moyens de manoeuvre de secours 13 permettant d'entraîner manuellement l'arbre d'enroulement 1 en cas de défaillance du moteur électrique. A noter, à ce propos, que l'arbre de transmission 31 peut retransmettre son mouvement de rotation à l'arbre d'enroulement 1, soit directement, soit par l'intermédiaire d'un différentiel ou encore de moyens analogues.The advantages which flow from this invention consist, of course, in that, as shown in FIGS. 1 and 3, nothing stands in the way, internally to the section of axis 7, of tubular shape, on the passage of a transmission shaft 31 corresponding to emergency operating means 13 making it possible to manually drive the winding shaft 1 in the event of failure of the electric motor. Note, in this regard, that the transmission shaft 31 can retransmit its rotational movement to the winding shaft 1, either directly, or via a differential or similar means.
