Definitions
- the present invention relates to telescopic closures retractable formed mainly of a series of modular elements including a fixed modular element and several mobile modular elements successively nestable telescopically and movable in two raceways on which they are supported by rollers bearing between a retracted opening position and a position deployed closing.
- the mobile modular elements are most often guided the relative to each other by interposed lateral guide means between adjacent elements, for example by providing that each of the mobile modular elements is supported at the front by two castors resting on the tracks and at the rear by two casters each mounted in a rail secured to the adjacent modular element.
- the difficulty lies in the training of modular elements with respect to each other, between the closed position and the open position, especially when these elements are relatively wide, i.e. when the raceways are spaced one of the other by a distance which can be greater than the length of each modular element. Indeed, the risks of jamming are then very large between two successive modular elements. We can be tempted to limit these risks of jamming by providing guide rails for the modular elements, as in documents CH-A-532 697, FR-A-2 568 288, FR-A-2 413 507, FR-A-2 526 469, US-A-4 288 949 and FR-A-2 576 955. But these rails then constitute a nuisance when the elements are in retracted opening position.
- the guide structures described in the previously mentioned documents are insufficient to avoid risk of jamming, especially in the absence of guide rails and if we want to provide a motorization of the modular elements to ensure opening and closing.
- the problem proposed by the present invention is to ensure simultaneously effective training and guidance of the elements modular telescopic motorized telescopic closure, so simple and reliable, and without the use of fixed guide rails likely to cause discomfort when the structure is in position retracted opening.
- the means for driving the elements modules should preferably be integrated into the elements modular themselves, without causing any discomfort both inside and outside the structure.
- the structure of the drive means must be compatible with the hostile, oxidizing environment in which it is found generally the motorized telescopic closure, thus allowing the most diverse applications, such as swimming pool covers, building closings subject to weathering.
- the first pairs of deflection pulleys are in the central area of the modular element corresponding and are formed each of two pulleys close together one of the other.
- each second pair of deflection pulleys is formed of two pulleys disposed respectively in the vicinity of the two ends of the corresponding modular element.
- the pairs of pulleys are advantageously housed in tubular beams attached to the base of the modular elements, the side rails also comprising the rollers and the elements of lateral guidance.
- the first and second traction mechanisms include a rotary drum with two coaxial sections of the same diameter, with a first section on which the two cable strands are wound opening, and with a second section on which the two are wound strands of closing cable; elastic tension means are interposed in series with each cable strand, to ensure tension elastic of said cable strand while permitting length compensation relative between the closing cable strands and the cable strands opening hours.
- the retractable closure according to the invention is adapted to cover a swimming pool 1, while being able to discover it entirely.
- the retractable closure comprises a series modular elements, comprising a fixed modular element 2 and seven modular mobile elements 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8 and 9 respectively successively nestable telescopically.
- Modular elements mobile 3-9 are movable, on two raceways 10 and 11 along the edges of the pool 1, between a retracted position opening illustrated in the lower part of Figure 1 and a deployed closing position illustrated on the upper part of this same figure 1.
- Each modular element is in the shape of an arch, resting by its two ends on the raceways 10 and 11.
- the extreme mobile modular element 9 rests on the raceways 10 and 11 by its respective ends 12 and 13 each provided with a roller anterior bearing 14 and a rear bearing roller 15 with axes of transverse rotation.
- Lateral guide elements are interposed between the adjacent modular elements, as will be described later in relationship to Figure 11.
- the elements modular 2 to 9 have progressively decreasing sizes since the fixed modular element 2 up to the extreme mobile modular element 9, both in height and in width, as shown.
- a drive mechanism allows to drive in translation the modular elements along the tracks 10 and 11 between the retracted opening and deployed closing positions.
- This mechanism drive includes cables, pulleys and means of pulling cables under the action of a crank or a motor arranged in a motorization unit 16 which can be placed for example at the outside and in the central zone of the end wall 17 of the element fixed modular 2.
- first strand opening cable 18 As seen more generally in Figures 9 and 10, to the right of the first track 10, we pass a first strand opening cable 18, a first end of which is integral with the extreme mobile modular element 9, passing through the first pairs of deflection pulleys such as the first pairs 19 and 20.
- the first pairs of pulleys 19 and 20 and the first strand of opening cable 18 are arranged in each modular element such as elements 2 and 3 of so that a pull of the first strand of opening cable 18 by the unit motorization 16 produces the relative approximation of the elements from each other, i.e. the translation of the element modular mobile 3 towards the fixed modular element 2 as illustrated by the arrow 120 of FIG. 10.
- a second strand of opening cable 21 is adapted to the right of the second raceway 11 to pass into of the first pairs of return pulleys 22 and 23 of the modular elements respective 2 and 3, so as to bring together the modular elements 2 and 3 from each other when pulling the second strand of opening cable 21 by the motorization unit 16.
- the first and second strands of cable 18 and 21 are stressed in tension by the same mechanism traction constituted by the motorization unit 16 arranged beyond the fixed modular element 2.
- first track 10 we make pass a first strand of closure cable 24, integral with a first end of the extreme mobile modular element 9, and passing through second pairs of return pulleys such as the second couple formed by the pulleys 25 and 26 of the fixed modular element 2 and the pulleys 27 and 28 of the mobile modular element 3.
- the first strand of closure cable 24 and the pairs of pulleys 25, 26 and 27, 28 are arranged so that a traction exerted on the first strand of closure cable 24 by the unit motorization 16 produces the relative spacing of the modular elements from each other, i.e. the displacement of the modular element movable 3 outside the fixed modular element 2 as illustrated by the arrow 29 of Figure 9.
- a second strand of cable closure 30 passes through second pairs of respective return pulleys formed by the pulleys 31 and 32 of the fixed modular element 2 and the pulleys 33 and 34 of the mobile modular element 3, in line with the second raceway 11, the strand of closure cable and the pulleys being arranged so that a pull on the second strand of closure cable 30 by the motorization unit 16 produces the relative spacing of the modular elements 2 and 3 from each other.
- the first strand of cable closure 24 and second strand of closure cable 30 are stressed in traction by the same second traction mechanism constituted by the unit of motorization 16 disposed beyond the fixed element 2, in synchronism with the traction exerted on the first strand of opening cable 18 and second opening cable strand 21.
- the traction on the strands of closing cable 24 and 30 is simultaneous with a relaxation of the strands of opening cable 18 and 21, and, conversely, a pull of the opening cable strands 18 and 21 is simultaneous with a relaxation of the strands of closing cable 24 and 30.
- modular elements 2-9 are shown in the open position complete, the first pairs of pulleys 19 and 20 then being close each other. In the closed position, the modular elements are away from each other as shown in Figure 10, and the first pairs of pulleys such as pairs 19 and 20 are then separated from each other.
- the first pairs of return pulleys such as pairs 19, 20, 22 and 23 are arranged in the central zone of the corresponding modular element such as as modular elements 2 or 3, and are formed by two pulleys such that the pulleys 36 and 37 close to each other.
- FIG. 7 the same modular elements have been represented. with, in the same figure, the second opening cable strand 21 in lines solid and the second strand of closing cable 30 in phantom.
- each second couple of return pulleys such as the second couple formed by the pulleys 31 and 32, is formed by two pulleys arranged respectively at neighborhood of the two ends of the corresponding modular element such as the fixed modular element 2.
- the pairs of pulleys are housed in tubular beams attached to the base of the modular elements, as illustrated in section transverse in Figure 11.
- the end pulley 40 of the mobile modular element 3 pulleys intermediaries 43 and 44 respectively of the modular elements 6 and 7.
- rollers of each modular element in particular the roller 14 of the extreme modular element 9.
- lateral guidance which, in this embodiment, include a path guidance such as path 45 of the fixed modular element 2.

- the set of pulleys, rollers and lateral guide elements is housed in the side members forming the base modular elements.
- the first and second mechanisms for pulling the strands of cable include a rotary drum 48 with two respective sections 49 and 50 coaxial of the same diameter, a first section 49 on which wind the two strands of opening cable 18 and 21, one second section 50 on which the two strands of closure cable are wound 24 and 30.
- Elastic tensioning means are interposed in series with each cable strand 18, 21, 24 and 30, to ensure elastic tension of said cable strand while allowing a relative length take-up between the closing cable strands 24 and 30 and the cable strands opening hours 18 and 21.
- the means of elastic tension include four carriages, respectively 51, 52, 53 and 54, slidably mounted in transverse directions on respective fixed supports, each biased by a tension spring, and carrying a pulley 55, 56, 57 and 58 respectively on which one passes cable strands 18, 21, 24 or 30, with respective end stops stroke 59, 60, 61 and 62 limiting the stroke of the corresponding carriage.

Description
La présente invention concerne les fermetures télescopiques escamotables formées principalement d'une série d'éléments modulaires dont un élément modulaire fixe et plusieurs éléments modulaires mobiles successivement emboítables de façon télescopique et déplaçables sur deux chemins de roulement sur lesquels ils prennent appui par des galets de roulement entre une position rétractée d'ouverture et une position déployée de fermeture.The present invention relates to telescopic closures retractable formed mainly of a series of modular elements including a fixed modular element and several mobile modular elements successively nestable telescopically and movable in two raceways on which they are supported by rollers bearing between a retracted opening position and a position deployed closing.
Des exemples de tels systèmes de fermeture télescopique escamotable sont décrits par exemple dans les documents FR-A-2 576 955, FR-A-2 568 288, FR-A-2 526 469, FR-A-2 413 507, US-A-4 288 949, CH-A-532 697, ou plus particulièrement US-A-3 488 898, qui correspond au préambule de la revendication 1.Examples of such telescopic closure systems retractable are described for example in documents FR-A-2 576 955, FR-A-2 568 288, FR-A-2 526 469, FR-A-2 413 507, US-A-4 288 949, CH-A-532 697, or more particularly US-A-3,488,898, which corresponds to the preamble of claim 1.
Les éléments modulaires mobiles sont le plus souvent guidés les uns par rapport aux autres par des moyens de guidage latéral interposés entre les éléments adjacents, par exemple en prévoyant que chacun des éléments modulaires mobiles est soutenu à l'avant par deux roulettes reposant sur les chemins de roulement et à l'arrière par deux roulettes montées chacune dans un rail solidaire de l'élément modulaire adjacent.The mobile modular elements are most often guided the relative to each other by interposed lateral guide means between adjacent elements, for example by providing that each of the mobile modular elements is supported at the front by two castors resting on the tracks and at the rear by two casters each mounted in a rail secured to the adjacent modular element.
La difficulté réside dans l'entraínement des éléments modulaires les uns par rapport aux autres, entre la position de fermeture et la position d'ouverture, notamment lorsque ces éléments sont relativement larges, c'est-à-dire lorsque les chemins de roulement sont écartés l'un de l'autre selon une distance qui peut être supérieure à la longueur de chaque élément modulaire. En effet, les risques de coincement sont alors très grands entre deux éléments modulaires successifs. On peut être tenté de limiter ces risques de coincement en prévoyant des rails de guidage des éléments modulaires, comme dans les documents CH-A-532 697, FR-A-2 568 288, FR-A-2 413 507, FR-A-2 526 469, US-A-4 288 949 et FR-A-2 576 955. Mais ces rails constituent alors une gêne lorsque les éléments sont en position rétractée d'ouverture. Les structures de guidage décrites dans les documents précédemment mentionnés sont insuffisantes pour éviter les risques de coincements, notamment en l'absence de rails de guidage et si l'on veut prévoir une motorisation des éléments modulaires pour assurer l'ouverture et la fermeture. The difficulty lies in the training of modular elements with respect to each other, between the closed position and the open position, especially when these elements are relatively wide, i.e. when the raceways are spaced one of the other by a distance which can be greater than the length of each modular element. Indeed, the risks of jamming are then very large between two successive modular elements. We can be tempted to limit these risks of jamming by providing guide rails for the modular elements, as in documents CH-A-532 697, FR-A-2 568 288, FR-A-2 413 507, FR-A-2 526 469, US-A-4 288 949 and FR-A-2 576 955. But these rails then constitute a nuisance when the elements are in retracted opening position. The guide structures described in the previously mentioned documents are insufficient to avoid risk of jamming, especially in the absence of guide rails and if we want to provide a motorization of the modular elements to ensure opening and closing.
Le problème proposé par la présente invention est d'assurer simultanément un entraínement et un guidage efficaces des éléments modulaires télescopiques d'une fermeture télescopique motorisée, de façon simple et fiable, et sans utilisation de rails de guidage fixes susceptibles de constituer une gêne lorsque la structure est en position rétractée d'ouverture.The problem proposed by the present invention is to ensure simultaneously effective training and guidance of the elements modular telescopic motorized telescopic closure, so simple and reliable, and without the use of fixed guide rails likely to cause discomfort when the structure is in position retracted opening.
Selon l'invention, les moyens d'entraínement des éléments modulaires doivent de préférence être intégrés dans les éléments modulaires eux-mêmes, sans constituer aucune gêne tant à l'intérieur qu'à l'extérieur de la structure.According to the invention, the means for driving the elements modules should preferably be integrated into the elements modular themselves, without causing any discomfort both inside and outside the structure.
En outre, selon l'invention, on cherche à réaliser un entraínement centralisé des éléments modulaires, qui peuvent ainsi être entraínés par un moteur unique et/ou par une manivelle, permettant ainsi un actionnement par un utilisateur seul.Furthermore, according to the invention, it is sought to achieve a centralized drive of modular elements, which can thus be driven by a single motor and / or by a crank, thus allowing actuation by a single user.
En outre, la structure des moyens d'entraínement doit être compatible avec le milieu hostile, oxydant, dans lequel se trouve généralement la fermeture télescopique motorisée, permettant ainsi des applications les plus diverses, telles que les couvertures de piscine, les fermetures de bâtiment soumises aux intempéries.In addition, the structure of the drive means must be compatible with the hostile, oxidizing environment in which it is found generally the motorized telescopic closure, thus allowing the most diverse applications, such as swimming pool covers, building closings subject to weathering.
Pour atteindre ces objets ainsi que d'autres, une fermeture escamotable selon l'invention comporte une série d'éléments modulaires dont un élément modulaire fixe et plusieurs éléments modulaires mobiles successivement emboítables de façon télescopique et déplaçables, sur deux chemins de roulement fixes sur lesquels ils prennent appui par des galets de roulement, entre une position rétractée d'ouverture et une position déployée de fermeture, avec des éléments de guidage latéral interposés entre les éléments modulaires adjacents ; la fermeture escamotable comprend un mécanisme d'entraínement des éléments modulaires le long des chemins de roulement entre les positions rétractée et déployée, dans lequel :
- au droit de chaque chemin de roulement, un premier brin de câble d'ouverture et un second brin de câble d'ouverture respectifs, dont une première extrémité est solidaire de l'élément modulaire mobile extrême, passent chacun dans des premiers couples de poulies de renvoi respectives agencées dans chaque élément modulaire de façon qu'une traction des brins de câble d'ouverture produise le rapprochement relatif des éléments modulaires les uns des autres, et sont sélectivement sollicités en traction à l'autre extrémité par un même premier mécanisme de traction disposé au-delà de l'élément modulaire fixe,
- au droit de chaque chemin de roulement, un premier brin de câble de fermeture et un second brin de câble de fermeture respectifs, solidaires à une première extrémité de l'élément modulaire mobile extrême, passent chacun dans des seconds couples de poulies de renvoi respectives agencées dans chaque élément modulaire de façon qu'une traction des brins de câble de fermeture produise l'écartement relatif des éléments modulaires les uns des autres, et sont sélectivement sollicités en traction à l'autre extrémité par un même second mécanisme de traction disposé au-delà de l'élément modulaire fixe,
- les premier et second mécanismes de traction sont synchronisés pour produire sélectivement la traction des brins de câble d'ouverture et le relâchement simultané des brins de câble de fermeture, et pour produire sélectivement la traction des brins de câble de fermeture et le relâchement simultané des brins de câble d'ouverture.
- in line with each raceway, a first strand of opening cable and a second strand of respective opening cable, one end of which is integral with the extreme mobile modular element, each pass through first pairs of pulleys of respective return arranged in each modular element so that a traction of the opening cable strands produces the relative bringing together of the modular elements from each other, and are selectively stressed in traction at the other end by the same first traction mechanism arranged beyond the fixed modular element,
- at the right of each raceway, a first strand of closing cable and a second strand of respective closing cable, integral with a first end of the extreme mobile modular element, each pass in second pairs of respective return pulleys arranged in each modular element so that a traction of the closing cable strands produces the relative spacing of the modular elements from each other, and are selectively stressed in traction at the other end by the same second traction mechanism disposed at the beyond the fixed modular element,
- the first and second traction mechanisms are synchronized to selectively produce the traction of the opening cable strands and the simultaneous loosening of the closing cable strands, and to selectively produce the traction of the closing cable strands and the simultaneous loosening of the strands opening cable.
Selon un mode de réalisation avantageux, les premiers couples de poulies de renvoi sont en zone centrale de l'élément modulaire correspondant et sont formés chacun de deux poulies rapprochées l'une de l'autre.According to an advantageous embodiment, the first pairs of deflection pulleys are in the central area of the modular element corresponding and are formed each of two pulleys close together one of the other.
De même, chaque second couple de poulies de renvoi est formé de deux poulies disposées respectivement au voisinage des deux extrémités de l'élément modulaire correspondant.Likewise, each second pair of deflection pulleys is formed of two pulleys disposed respectively in the vicinity of the two ends of the corresponding modular element.
Les couples de poulies sont avantageusement logés dans des longerons tubulaires rapportés à la base des éléments modulaires, les longerons comportant également les galets de roulement et les éléments de guidage latéral.The pairs of pulleys are advantageously housed in tubular beams attached to the base of the modular elements, the side rails also comprising the rollers and the elements of lateral guidance.
De préférence, les premier et second mécanismes de traction comprennent un tambour rotatif à deux sections coaxiales de même diamètre, avec une première section sur laquelle s'enroulent les deux brins de câble d'ouverture, et avec une seconde section sur laquelle s'enroulent les deux brins de câble de fermeture ; des moyens de tension élastique sont interposés en série avec chaque brin de câble, pour assurer une tension élastique dudit brin de câble tout en autorisant un rattrapage de longueur relative entre les brins de câble de fermeture et les brins de câble d'ouverture. Preferably, the first and second traction mechanisms include a rotary drum with two coaxial sections of the same diameter, with a first section on which the two cable strands are wound opening, and with a second section on which the two are wound strands of closing cable; elastic tension means are interposed in series with each cable strand, to ensure tension elastic of said cable strand while permitting length compensation relative between the closing cable strands and the cable strands opening hours.

modulaires 2 à 9 ont des tailles progressivement décroissantes depuis
l'élément modulaire fixe 2 jusqu'à l'élément modulaire mobile extrême 9,
tant en hauteur qu'en largeur, comme représenté.In this embodiment of Figures 1 to 4, the elements
modular 2 to 9 have progressively decreasing sizes since
the fixed
En alternative, et sans sortir du cadre de l'invention, on
pourrait prévoir de rendre fixe l'élément modulaire extrême 9 le plus
petit, les autres éléments pouvant s'empiler sur lui en position rétractée
d'ouverture.As an alternative, and without departing from the scope of the invention, we
could provide for making the extreme
Un mécanisme d'entraínement permet d'entraíner en translation
les éléments modulaires le long des chemins de roulement 10 et 11 entre
les positions rétractée d'ouverture et déployée de fermeture. Ce mécanisme
d'entraínement comprend des câbles, des poulies de renvoi et des moyens de
traction des câbles sous l'action d'une manivelle ou d'un moteur disposé
dans une unité de motorisation 16 pouvant être placée par exemple à
l'extérieur et en zone centrale de la paroi d'extrémité 17 de l'élément
modulaire fixe 2.A drive mechanism allows to drive in translation
the modular elements along the
Comme on le voit de façon plus générale sur les figures 9 et 10,
au droit du premier chemin de roulement 10, on fait passer un premier brin
de câble d'ouverture 18, dont une première extrémité est solidaire de
l'élément modulaire mobile extrême 9, passant dans des premiers couples de
poulies de renvoi tels que les premiers couples 19 et 20. Les premiers
couples de poulies 19 et 20 et le premier brin de câble d'ouverture 18
sont agencés dans chaque élément modulaire tel que les éléments 2 et 3 de
façon qu'une traction du premier brin de câble d'ouverture 18 par l'unité
de motorisation 16 produise le rapprochement relatif des éléments
modulaires les uns des autres, c'est-à-dire la translation de l'élément
modulaire mobile 3 vers l'élément modulaire fixe 2 comme illustré par la
flèche 120 de la figure 10. De même, un second brin de câble d'ouverture
21 est adapté au droit du second chemin de roulement 11 pour passer dans
des premiers couples de poulies de renvoi 22 et 23 des éléments modulaires
respectifs 2 et 3, de façon à rapprocher les éléments modulaires 2 et 3
l'un de l'autre lors d'une traction du second brin de câble d'ouverture 21
par l'unité de motorisation 16. Les premier et second brins de câble
d'ouverture 18 et 21 sont sollicités en traction par un même mécanisme de
traction constitué par l'unité de motorisation 16 disposée au-delà de
l'élément modulaire fixe 2.As seen more generally in Figures 9 and 10,
to the right of the
En outre, au droit du premier chemin de roulement 10 on fait
passer un premier brin de câble de fermeture 24, solidaire à une première
extrémité de l'élément modulaire mobile extrême 9, et passant dans des
seconds couples de poulies de renvoi tels que le second couple formé par
les poulies 25 et 26 de l'élément modulaire fixe 2 et les poulies 27 et 28
de l'élément modulaire mobile 3. Le premier brin de câble de fermeture 24
et les couples de poulies 25, 26 et 27, 28 sont agencés de façon qu'une
traction exercée sur le premier brin de câble de fermeture 24 par l'unité
de motorisation 16 produise l'écartement relatif des éléments modulaires
les uns des autres, c'est-à-dire le déplacement de l'élément modulaire
mobile 3 hors de l'élément modulaire fixe 2 comme illustré par la flèche
29 de la figure 9. De façon similaire, un second brin de câble de
fermeture 30 passe dans des seconds couples de poulie de renvoi respectifs
formés par les poulies 31 et 32 de l'élément modulaire fixe 2 et les
poulies 33 et 34 de l'élément modulaire mobile 3, au droit du second
chemin de roulement 11, le brin de câble de fermeture et les poulies étant
agencés de façon qu'une traction sur le second brin de câble de fermeture
30 par l'unité de motorisation 16 produise l'écartement relatif des
éléments modulaires 2 et 3 l'un de l'autre. Les premier brin de câble de
fermeture 24 et second brin de câble de fermeture 30 sont sollicités en
traction par un même second mécanisme de traction constitué par l'unité de
motorisation 16 disposée au-delà de l'élément fixe 2, en synchronisme avec
la traction exercée sur les premier brin de câble d'ouverture 18 et second
brin de câble d'ouverture 21. Par ce synchronisme, la traction sur les
brins de câble de fermeture 24 et 30 est simultanée à un relâchement des
brins de câble d'ouverture 18 et 21, et, inversement, une traction des
brins de câble d'ouverture 18 et 21 est simultanée avec un relâchement des
brins de câble de fermeture 24 et 30.In addition, to the right of the
Comme on le voit plus en détail sur la figure 5, illustrant en
vue de dessus et en coupe la base des éléments modulaires 2 à 9 au droit
du second chemin de roulement 11, le second brin de câble d'ouverture 21,
venant de l'unité de motorisation 16, longe le premier élément modulaire
fixe 2 en passant sur une première poulie de renvoi d'extrémité 35,
passant au-delà d'une première poulie 36 du couple de poulies 22, revenant
derrière une seconde poulie 37 du couple de poulies 22, passant ensuite de
façon similaire autour des deux poulies de chaque premier couple de
poulies de chacun des éléments modulaires intermédiaires 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8,
en passant au-delà de la première poulie 38 de l'élément modulaire mobile
extrême 9 en s'accrochant ensuite à sa seconde poulie 39. Sur cette figure
5, les éléments modulaires 2-9 sont représentés en position d'ouverture
complète, les premiers couples de poulies 19 et 20 étant alors proches les
uns des autres. En position de fermeture, les éléments modulaires sont
écartés les uns des autres comme illustré sur la figure 10, et les
premiers couples de poulies tels que les couples 19 et 20 sont alors
écartés l'un de l'autre.As seen in more detail in Figure 5, illustrating in
top view and sectional view of the base of
Dans le mode de réalisation représenté sur ces figures, les
premiers couples de poulies de renvoi tels que les couples 19, 20, 22 et
23 sont disposés en zone centrale de l'élément modulaire correspondant tel
que les éléments modulaires 2 ou 3, et sont formés de deux poulies telles
que les poulies 36 et 37 rapprochées l'une de l'autre. In the embodiment shown in these figures, the
first pairs of return pulleys such as
Comme on le voit mieux sur la figure 6, représentant également
en vue de dessus en coupe la base des éléments modulaires au droit du
second chemin de roulement 11, le second brin de câble de fermeture 30,
provenant de l'unité de motorisation 16 passe sur une première poulie
d'extrémité 31 et longe l'élément modulaire fixe 2 jusqu'à la seconde
poulie d'extrémité 32, pour revenir ensuite passer derrière la première
poulie d'extrémité 40 de l'élément modulaire mobile 3, longeant ensuite
l'élément modulaire mobile 3 pour passer devant sa seconde poulie
d'extrémité 41, poursuivant ensuite son chemin de manière similaire autour
des poulies d'extrémité de chacun des éléments modulaires mobiles, jusqu'à
venir s'accrocher à l'extrémité postérieure 42 de l'élément modulaire
mobile extrême 9. La figure 6 montre l'ensemble des éléments modulaires en
position rétractée d'ouverture complète, tandis que la figure 10 illustre
les positions relatives des éléments modulaires en position déployée de
fermeture.As best seen in Figure 6, also representing
in top view in section the base of the modular elements to the right of the
Sur la figure 7, on a représenté les mêmes éléments modulaires
avec, sur la même figure, le second brin de câble d'ouverture 21 en traits
pleins et le second brin de câble de fermeture 30 en traits mixtes.In FIG. 7, the same modular elements have been represented.
with, in the same figure, the second
Sur la figure 8, en vue de côté en coupe, on voit que le second
brin de câble d'ouverture 21 chemine dans les éléments modulaires, tels
que l'élément modulaire mobile extrême 9, au-dessous du second brin de
câble de fermeture 30.In Figure 8, in side view in section, we see that the second
Ainsi, dans les modes de réalisation représentés, chaque second
couple de poulies de renvoi, tel que le second couple formé par les
poulies 31 et 32, est formé de deux poulies disposées respectivement au
voisinage des deux extrémités de l'élément modulaire correspondant tel que
l'élément modulaire fixe 2.Thus, in the embodiments shown, each second
couple of return pulleys, such as the second couple formed by the
Les couples de poulies sont logés dans des longerons tubulaires
rapportés à la base des éléments modulaires, comme illustré en coupe
transversale sur la figure 11. On distingue, sur cette figure, par exemple
la poulie d'extrémité 40 de l'élément modulaire mobile 3, des poulies
intermédiaires 43 et 44 respectives des éléments modulaires 6 et 7. On
distingue également les galets de roulement de chaque élément modulaire,
notamment le galet de roulement 14 de l'élément modulaire extrême 9.The pairs of pulleys are housed in tubular beams
attached to the base of the modular elements, as illustrated in section
transverse in Figure 11. In this figure, for example,
the
Egalement, sur cette figure 11, on distingue les éléments de
guidage latéral qui, dans ce mode de réalisation, comprennent un chemin de
guidage tel que le chemin 45 de l'élément modulaire fixe 2. Le chemin de
guidage est un profilé tubulaire longitudinal muni d'une ouverture
latérale pour le passage du noyau central d'un diabolo de guidage 46
tourillonnant autour d'une arbre 47 solidaire de l'élément modulaire
mobile adjacent 3. L'ensemble des poulies, des galets de roulement et des
éléments de guidage latéral est logé dans les longerons formant la base
des éléments modulaires.Also, in this figure 11, there are the elements of
lateral guidance which, in this embodiment, include a path
guidance such as
Dans le mode de réalisation illustré sur les figures 2, 3, 9, 10
et 12, les premier et second mécanismes de traction des brins de câble
comprennent un tambour rotatif 48 à deux sections respectives 49 et 50
coaxiales de même diamètre, une première section 49 sur laquelle
s'enroulent les deux brins de câble d'ouverture 18 et 21, une seconde
section 50 sur laquelle s'enroulent les deux brins de câble de fermeture
24 et 30. Des moyens de tension élastique sont interposés en série avec
chaque brin de câble 18, 21, 24 et 30, pour assurer une tension élastique
dudit brin de câble tout en autorisant un rattrapage de longueur relative
entre les brins de câble de fermeture 24 et 30 et les brins de câble
d'ouverture 18 et 21.In the embodiment illustrated in Figures 2, 3, 9, 10
and 12, the first and second mechanisms for pulling the strands of cable
include a
Dans le mode de réalisation illustré sur les figures, les moyens
de tension élastique comprennent quatre chariots, respectivement 51, 52,
53 et 54, montés à coulissement selon des directions transversales sur des
supports respectifs fixes, sollicités chacun par un ressort de tension, et
portant une poulie respectivement 55, 56, 57 et 58 sur laquelle passe l'un
des brins de câble 18, 21, 24 ou 30, avec des butées respectives de fin de
course 59, 60, 61 et 62 limitant la course du chariot correspondant. Les
butées de fin de course 59-62 limitent le décalage de longueur entre les
premier et second brins de chaque couple de brins de câble de fermeture et
d'ouverture. Etant réglables, elles permettent également un réglage de
l'orientation générale de déploiement des éléments modulaires 2 à 9 le
long des chemins de roulement 10 et 11. Le ressort de tension sollicite en
coulissement le chariot respectif 51-54 dans le sens produisant la tension
du brin de câble 18, 21, 24 ou 30 correspondant.In the embodiment illustrated in the figures, the means
of elastic tension include four carriages, respectively 51, 52,
53 and 54, slidably mounted in transverse directions on
respective fixed supports, each biased by a tension spring, and
carrying a
Le tambour rotatif 48 est entraíné par une transmission
mécanique 63, illustrée sur la figure 12, sollicitée par un moteur
électrique 64 lui-même alimenté par une source extérieure d'énergie
électrique et piloté par un dispositif de commande, avec des moyens pour
limiter le couple moteur de sortie. On peut par exemple utiliser un
limiteur de couple mécanique. The
Comme illustré sur la figure 9, la rotation du tambour rotatif
48 dans un premier sens de rotation 81 produit la traction des brins de
câble de fermeture 24 et 30, pour la fermeture par déplacement relatif des
éléments modulaires dans le sens de leur écartement indiqué par la flèche
29. De même, comme illustré sur la figure 10, la rotation du tambour
rotatif 48 dans le second sens de rotation 82 produit la traction des
brins de câble d'ouverture 18 et 21, pour l'ouverture par déplacement
relatif des éléments modulaires dans le sens de leur rapprochement indiqué
par la flèche 120.As illustrated in Figure 9, the rotation of the
La transmission mécanique 63 comprend un arbre de sortie 65
couplé à un arbre d'entrée 66 par un embrayage 67 mieux représenté sur les
figures 13 et 14 : l'arbre de sortie 65 comprend, à son extrémité, un
carré 68 pour l'adaptation d'une manivelle telle que la manivelle 69 de la
figure 12. Sur les figures 13 et 14, l'arbre de sortie 65 porte deux
leviers opposés 70 et 71 généralement longitudinaux pouvant pivoter autour
d'axes transversaux respectifs 72 et 73. Les premières extrémités 74 et 75
des leviers sont normalement en position rapprochée, sous l'action d'un
ressort 76 faisant pivoter les leviers, et les secondes extrémités 77 et
78 des leviers sont alors engagées dans des logements tels que le logement
79 ménagés dans la paroi périphérique d'un cylindre 80 solidaire de
l'arbre d'entrée 66. L'engagement des leviers accouple les arbres d'entrée
66 et de sortie 65. Lors de l'engagement d'une manivelle sur le carré 68,
la manivelle repousse les leviers 70 et 71. Le pivotement des leviers 70
et 71 fait sortir leurs secondes extrémités 77 et 78 hors des logements
tels que le logement 79, désaccouplant ainsi automatiquement l'arbre de
sortie 65 de l'arbre d'entrée 66, de sorte que l'entraínement de l'arbre
de sortie 65 est alors assuré par la seule manivelle 69.The
On réalise ainsi un embrayage 67 qui est normalement à l'état
embrayé, et qui peut être débrayé par la manivelle 69 amovible que l'on
engage en bout de l'arbre de sortie 65 pour solliciter en rotation le
mécanisme par la manivelle.This produces a clutch 67 which is normally in the state
engaged, and which can be disengaged by the removable crank 69 which is
engages at the end of the
