Abstract

The sliding panel door consists of a series of hinged panels (2) which form a continuous vertical surface when closed and pivot relative to one another when the door is opened, e.g. sliding into a space at the top of the vehicle or building. The panels are joined together by interlocking curved members (2a,2b) in the form of a projection (2a4) of circular curved cross-section along one edge of each panel engaging with a recess (2b4) of matching section in the adjoining panel. After the panels have been assembled an insert (8) is fitted into each joint to limit the angle of rotation of adjacent panels and to receive a shaft (7a) with a roller (7) which runs in a guide at the side of the door. The panels are made, for example, from plastic or aluminium.

Description

L'invention se rattache aux secteurs techniques des portes dites sectionnelles, c'est-à-dire incluant plusieurs panneaux articulés les uns aux autres et susceptibles de coulisser le long de profils de guidage pour assurer l'ouverture ou la fermeture d'endroits variés, pouvant être déplacés ou non, tels que véhicules de transport de marchandises, ou de garages ou autres lieux de stockage.The invention relates to the technical sectors of so-called sectional doors, that is to say including several panels hinged to each other and likely to slide along guide profiles to ensure opening or closing various places, which can be moved or not, such as transport vehicles goods, or garages or other storage places.

Le concept des portes sectionnelles à panneaux est bien connu dans de nombreuses applications de fermeture et est notamment décrit dans le document US-A-4 979 553. Ces portes sont agencées avec une pluralité de panneaux en bois, en métal, en plastique ou autre matériau qui vont s'accoupler les uns aux autres grâce à des formes particulières d'emboítement permettant leur déplacement le long de rails de guidage présentant plusieurs profils permettant de passer d'un plan vertical à un plan horizontal et vice-versa en vue de l'ouverture ou la fermeture permettant l'accès à l'endroit désiré.The concept of sectional panel doors is well known in many closure applications and is described in particular in document US-A-4,979,553. These doors are arranged with a plurality of wooden, metal, plastic or other material that will mate with each other through shapes particular interlocking allowing their movement along guide rails presenting several profiles allowing to pass from a vertical plane to a plane horizontal and vice versa for opening or closing allowing access to the desired location.

Dans l'exemple non limitatif des portes sectionnelles utilisées pour la fermeture de camions, représentées aux figures 1 et 2 des dessins, des rails de guidage sont fixés verticalement sur les montants intérieurs de la plate-forme du châssis du véhicule. Ces rails comprennent une partie verticale correspondant à la hauteur de l'ouverture, un rayon de courbure avec en prolongement une partie de rail horizontal. Les différents panneaux de la porte sont par exemple en matériau bois et présentent des profils complémentaires en feuillure permettant la mise en place d'un joint d'étanchéité entre les sections successives de panneaux. Par ailleurs, il est prévu aux extrémités du panneau supérieur, du panneau inférieur, et de certains panneaux intermédiaires de positionner des roulettes de guidage susceptibles de coulisser dans le chemin de roulement formé sur les rails. Ces roulettes comprennent un axe qui est fixé extérieurement à la section des panneaux. Ce type de porte sectionnelle est plus particulièrement décrit dans le document GB-A- 2 072 248. In the nonlimiting example of sectional doors used for closing trucks, shown in Figures 1 and 2 of the drawings, guide rails are attached vertically on the interior uprights of the vehicle chassis platform. These rails include a vertical part corresponding to the height of the opening, a radius of curvature with an extension of a horizontal rail. The different door panels are for example of wood material and have profiles in rebate allowing the installation of a seal between successive sections of panels. Furthermore, it is provided at the ends of the upper panel, lower panel, and some intermediate panels of position guide rollers that can slide in the path of bearing formed on the rails. These casters include an axle which is fixed externally to the panel section. This type of sectional door is more particularly described in document GB-A-2,072,248.

De telles portes ainsi conçues présentent de nombreux inconvénients. Tout d'abord, les roulettes de guidage sont soumises à des efforts de sollicitation importants et il est nécessaire de procéder régulièrement à leur changement. Tel que le montage est effectué, la mise en oeuvre de ce changement est peu pratique. Par ailleurs, les panneaux sont lourds et exigent des puissances de motorisation importantes permettant le déplacement de la porte en phase ouverture-fermeture. Egalement, il y a lieu de signaler que toute détérioration d'un panneau est extrêmement gênante car il est nécessaire de démonter l'ensemble de la porte et non le panneau abímé proprement dit.Such doors thus designed have many drawbacks. First of all, the guide rollers are subjected to significant stressing forces and it is necessary to regularly change them. As the assembly is done, implementing this change is impractical. In addition, panels are heavy and require significant motor powers allowing the door to move in the open-close phase. Also, there are place to point out that any deterioration of a panel is extremely annoying because it it is necessary to dismantle the entire door and not the damaged panel well said.

Le but recherché selon l'invention était donc de mettre en oeuvre un nouveau dispositif d'articulation et de fixation des panneaux constituant des portes sectionnelles.The aim sought after according to the invention was therefore to implement a new hinge and fixing device for door panels sectional.

Un autre but recherché était de réaliser un dispositif qui permette une meilleure protection des roulettes de guidage associés tout en permettant leur changement rapide en cas de détérioration.Another goal sought was to make a device which allows better protection of the associated guide rollers while allowing their change fast in case of deterioration.

Ces buts et d'autres encore ressortiront bien de la suite de la description.These and other objects will become apparent from the following description.

Afin de rendre plus concret l'objet de l'invention, on le décrit maintenant d'une manière non limitative illustrée aux figures des dessins. In order to make the object of the invention more concrete, it is now described with a non-limiting manner illustrated in the figures of the drawings.

La porte sectionnelle est référencée par (1) et comprend plusieurs panneaux (2) montés et accouplés consécutivement. Cette porte est destinée à être positionnée dans un encadrement (3) pouvant être la zone d'ouverture et de chargement d'un véhicule de marchandises. Ce dernier comprend ainsi un linteau fixe (4) supérieur et des parois (5) longitudinales contre lesquelles sera positionné un rail de guidage (6) présentant un profil permettant le coulissement de roulettes ou galets (7) associés aux panneaux pour prendre une position de fermeture totale de l'encadrement, ou d'ouverture de celui-ci. Le rail comporte ainsi un plan vertical (6a), une zone de courbure (6b) et un plan horizontal (6c). Une motorisation appropriée de tout type connu est utilisée pour assurer les différents déplacements.The sectional door is referenced by (1) and includes several panels (2) mounted and coupled consecutively. This door is intended to be positioned in a frame (3) which can be the opening and loading area of a vehicle merchandise. The latter thus comprises an upper fixed lintel (4) and walls (5) longitudinal against which will be positioned a guide rail (6) having a profile allowing the sliding of rollers or rollers (7) associated with the panels to take a position of completely closing the frame, or opening this one. The rail thus comprises a vertical plane (6a), a zone of curvature (6b) and a horizontal plane (6c). A suitable motorization of any known type is used for ensure the various movements.

Selon l'invention, chaque panneau (2), à l'exception des panneaux d'extrémités supérieur (2A) et inférieur (2B) est réalisé avec deux formes d'extrémité (2a), (2b) particulières et complémentaires permettant la formation d'une articulation non fermée en rotule des panneaux entre eux. Ces formes (2a)-(2b) sont établies sur tout ou partie de la longueur des panneaux. Une première forme (2a) est réalisée avec une partie partiellement sphérique non fermée, laissant apparaítre une ouverture (2a-1). L'une (2a-2) des extrémités se raccorde au plan (2a-3) extérieur du panneau, l'autre extrémité (2a-4) est débordante du chant latéral (2a-5). Ladite partie sphérique est établie pour constituer extérieurement et intérieurement logement.According to the invention, each panel (2), with the exception of the end panels upper (2A) and lower (2B) is made with two end shapes (2a), (2b) particular and complementary allowing the formation of a joint closed in a ball joint of the panels between them. These forms (2a) - (2b) are established on all or part of the length of the panels. A first form (2a) is produced with a partially spherical part not closed, revealing an opening (2a-1). One (2a-2) of the ends is connected to the outside plane (2a-3) of the panel, the other end (2a-4) projects beyond the side edge (2a-5). Said spherical part is established to constitute externally and internally housing.

L'autre extrémité (2b) du panneau (2) est agencée avec un profil intérieur curviligne (2b-1) établi selon un rayon correspondant à la partie sphérique de la première extrémité (2a) de panneau pour constituer un plan d'appui et de renvoi. Ce profil curviligne (2b-1) est prolongé extérieurement par une partie débordante en forme de sphère (2b-2) non fermée en faisant apparaítre une ouverture (2b-3) en une fente (2b-4) ou logement de ladite première extrémité (2a-2) du panneau. Cette forme en sphère se situe sensiblement dans le même plan que la précédente de sorte que l'accouplement de deux panneaux consécutifs s'effectue par l'introduction de la première extrémité (2a-4) sphérique dans la fente (2b-4) précitée de la deuxième (2b) extrémité du panneau. Selon une disposition importante, les ouvertures (2a-1) et (2b-7) établies sur chacune desdites parties sphériques sont identiques et viennent en regard l'une de l'autre lorsque les panneaux consécutifs sont strictement en alignement axial. Le diamètre intérieur de ladite seconde sphère est établi avantageusement pour autoriser le positionnement, centrage et maintien de l'axe (7a) de roulettes (7) de guidage du type précité. Le fond intérieur (2b-5) de ladite seconde sphère présente une forme curviligne en saillie pouvant constituer le siège de l'axe de roulettes précité.The other end (2b) of the panel (2) is arranged with a curved internal profile (2b-1) established according to a radius corresponding to the spherical part of the first end (2a) of the panel to form a support and return plane. This profile curvilinear (2b-1) is extended externally by an overhanging part in the form of sphere (2b-2) not closed by making an opening (2b-3) appear in a slot (2b-4) or housing said first end (2a-2) of the panel. This sphere shape is substantially in the same plane as the previous one so that the coupling of two consecutive panels is carried out by the introduction of the first spherical end (2a-4) in the aforementioned slot (2b-4) of the second (2b) end of the panel. According to an important arrangement, the openings (2a-1) and (2b-7) established on each of said spherical parts are identical and come in look at each other when the consecutive panels are strictly in axial alignment. The internal diameter of said second sphere is established advantageously to authorize the positioning, centering and holding of the axis (7a) guide rollers (7) of the aforementioned type. The inner bottom (2b-5) of said second sphere has a projecting curvilinear shape which can constitute the seat of the axis of above-mentioned casters.

Afin d'assurer la protection intérieure du dispositif précité, il est rapporté une pièce (8) complémentaire formant cache et accessoirement constituant le support de roulettes. Cette pièce est établie sous forme d'un cavalier profilé sensiblement avec des formes curvilignes en U pour être engagées à l'intérieur des parties sphériques précitées formées sur les panneaux. Cette pièce formant cavalier présente ainsi des ailes (8a) formant lèvres susceptibles d'être articulées par des réductions d'épaisseur (8b) avec la face de fond (8c) du cavalier. Celui-ci offre ainsi une certaine élasticité. Sa face extérieure (8d) est également à profil sphérique pour venir s'emboíter et fermer précisément les parties complémentaires du dispositif. L'axe de roulettes est parfaitement maintenu entre les lèvres du cavalier et le fond de la partie sphérique du panneau.In order to ensure the internal protection of the above-mentioned device, a part is attached (8) complementary forming a cover and incidentally constituting the support for casters. This part is established in the form of a substantially shaped jumper with curvilinear U-shaped to be engaged inside the spherical parts mentioned above formed on the panels. This jumper piece thus presents wings (8a) forming lips capable of being articulated by thickness reductions (8b) with the bottom face (8c) of the jumper. This thus offers a certain elasticity. Its external face (8d) is also of spherical profile to come to fit and close the complementary parts of the device precisely. The roller axle is perfectly maintained between the rider's lips and the bottom of the spherical part of the sign.

Ledit cavalier est enlevable très facilement, permettant ainsi de saisir si nécessaire l'axe (7a) de roulette pour la changer. Ce cavalier (8)est avantageusement réalisé avec une longueur correspondant sensiblement à la longueur de l'axe de roulettes. Deux cavaliers (8) dits « d'extrémité » de ce type sont positionnés à l'endroit de chaque axe de roulettes opposés par rapport aux extrémités des panneaux. Un cavalier intermédiaire (9) de grande longueur vient ensuite coiffer l'espace restant. Sans sortir du cadre de l'invention, des formes en butée peuvent être établies sur certain des panneaux pour limiter le degré d'ouverture des panneaux entre eux.Said jumper can be removed very easily, allowing gripping if necessary the roulette axis (7a) to change it. This jumper (8) is advantageously made with a length corresponding substantially to the length of the roller axis. Of them so-called "end" jumpers (8) of this type are positioned at the location of each axis of casters opposite to the ends of the panels. A horserider intermediate (9) of great length then covers the remaining space. Without going out within the scope of the invention, abutment shapes can be established on certain of the panels to limit the degree of opening of the panels between them.

En se référant à la figure 11 des dessins, on a illustré le montage et le démontage des roulettes de guidage. Les panneaux successifs étant accouplés, l'axe de roulette est positionné dans le rail et dans l'évidement intérieur de la rotule constituée. Un cavalier dit «d'extrémité» est mis en place dans la zone d'accouplement des panneaux mais en déport de l'extrémité de l'axe de roulette. En jouant sur l'élasticité des lèvres du cavalier, celui-ci est introduit puis est glissé latéralement vers la roulette en enveloppant l'axe de roulette. On procède ainsi aux deux extrémités des panneaux à partir de deux cavaliers (8) d'extrémité. Puis un cavalier (9) intermédiaire est mis en place pour immobiliser l'ensemble.Referring to Figure 11 of the drawings, there is illustrated the assembly and disassembly of the guide rollers. The successive panels being coupled, the roulette axis is positioned in the rail and in the interior recess of the ball joint. A so-called "end" jumper is placed in the mating area of the panels but offset from the end of the caster axis. By playing on elasticity lips of the rider, this one is introduced then is slid laterally towards the caster by wrapping the roulette shaft. This is done at both ends of the panels from two end jumpers (8). Then an intermediate jumper (9) is put in place to immobilize the whole.

La porte sectionnelle est agencée avec la ou les formes d'extrémité (2a-2b) desdits panneaux profilées intérieurement pour autoriser sur tout ou partie de leur longueur le positionnement et logement d'axes de liaison associés aux moyens d'entraínement et de déplacement de l'ensemble desdits panneaux d'une position horizontale à une position verticale et vice-versaThe sectional door is arranged with the end shape (s) (2a-2b) said internally profiled panels to allow all or part of their length the positioning and housing of connecting axes associated with the means drive and move all of said panels from one position horizontal to a vertical position and vice versa

Ce dernier est disposé en bout des deux bielles (10) accouplées au mécanisme d'entraínement. Ces bielles sont agencées avec une fente ou lumière (10a) permettant l'introduction de l'axe d'un galet (7) se déplaçant sur les rails. L'axe (11) est solidarisé de toute manière appropriée à l'extrémité des bielles. Cet axe est engagé et clipsé dans la cavité (2A-4) tandis qu'un cavalier (8) de même nature que précédemment est engagé à son tour et vient s'ajuster sur l'axe et sur le profil (2A-2) à gorge sphérique.The upper panel (2A) is intended to be coupled by connecting rods (10) or equivalent to the door drive system. To this end, said panel upper has in its upper part a box shape (2A-1) established on all its length and receiving directly molded a profile (2A-2) with a spherical groove of the type mentioned above, with a front opening (2A-3) and an interior cavity (2A-4) capable of authorize the positioning and centering of a transverse connecting axis (11). This the latter is arranged at the end of the two connecting rods (10) coupled to the mechanism training. These connecting rods are arranged with a slot or light (10a) allowing the introduction of the axis of a roller (7) moving on the rails. The axis (11) is secured in any suitable manner to the end of the connecting rods. This axis is engaged and clipped into the cavity (2A-4) while a jumper (8) of the same type as previously engaged in turn and adjusts on the axis and on the profile (2A-2) with a spherical groove.

A titre complémentaire, l'extrémité supérieure dudit panneau (2A) présente une patte (12) en retrait autorisant le positionnement d'un joint (13) d'étanchéité. In addition, the upper end of said panel (2A) has a tab (12) recessed allowing the positioning of a seal (13).

Dans la partie basse de la porte est rapporté un profil (14) s'adaptant sur le panneau inférieur (2B) sur toute la longueur de celui-ci.
