Abstract

The panel (7) which is specially intended for an up-and-over garage door is installed on another similar panel by pivoting around an axis parallel to the longitudinal horizontal direction. The panel includes first (16) and second (17) facings, rigidly fixed together, which define its large external parallel surfaces (18,19). A longitudinal edge (14) has a continuously decreasing thickness from the external surfaces as far as its free longitudinal edge (21). The transverse section of the edge is pseudo triangular.

Description

L'invention est relative aux portes sectionnelles à effacement au plafond et débattement vertical telles que des portes de garage.The invention relates to sectional doors with ceiling erasure and vertical travel such as garage doors.

Elle concerne plus particulièrement une porte une fois fabriquée, pré-montée et pré-réglée d'une part, une fois mise en place dans la construction à laquelle elle est destinée d'autre part ; un conditionnement incorporant plusieurs portes pré-montées ; un procédé de montage d'une telle porte ; et, enfin, une construction incorporant une porte montée.It relates more particularly to a door once manufactured, pre-assembled and pre-adjusted on the one hand, once set up in the building to which it is on the other hand; packaging incorporating several pre-assembled doors; a method of mounting a such door; and, finally, a construction incorporating a door mounted.

On connaít déjà des portes sectionnelles à effacement au plafond et débattement vertical telles que des portes de garage.We already know sectional doors erasing at ceiling and vertical travel such as garage.

Une structure générale connue de telles portes est décrite notamment dans les documents EP-A-666 401, WO-A-96/36 784, EP-A-230 499, US-A-3 311 159, FR-A-2 304 756, FR-A-2 244 068, US-A-2 083 467, US-A-3 160 200 et US-A-4 472 910.A known general structure of such doors is described in particular in documents EP-A-666 401, WO-A-96/36 784, EP-A-230 499, US-A-3 311 159, FR-A-2 304 756, FR-A-2 244 068, US-A-2 083 467, US-A-3 160 200 and US-A-4 472 910.

Les documents EP-A-304 642, EP-A-370 324 et EP-A-370 376 s'intéressent à la structure des chants longitudinaux de deux panneaux adjacents.Documents EP-A-304 642, EP-A-370 324 and EP-A-370 376 are interested in the structure of the longitudinal edges of two adjacent panels.

Les portes de garage considérées sont destinées à être mises en place dans une construction comprenant une ouverture que la porte est destinée à occulter. Les dimensions hors tout de la porte (largeur horizontale et hauteur verticale) sont à cet effet plus grandes que les dimensions de l'ouverture en question.The garage doors considered are intended to be implemented in a construction comprising a opening that the door is intended to obscure. The overall dimensions of the door (horizontal width and vertical height) are larger than the dimensions of the opening in question.

La construction comprend généralement un plafond et deux cloisons de part et d'autre de l'ouverture définissant une retombée de linteau et des écoinçons droit et gauche respectivement de dimensions appréciables.Construction usually includes a ceiling and two partitions on either side of the opening defining a fall of the lintel and the right and left corner pieces respectively of appreciable dimensions.

La retombée de linteau est nécessaire par suite de la présence, à cet endroit, de rails, d'un arbre supportant des tambours d'enroulement de câbles, d'un ou plusieurs organes de rappel du vantail. Quant aux écoinçons, ils sont nécessaires pour le logement de tourillons porte galets, de galets et de rails latéraux.The lintel fallout is necessary due to the presence, at this point, of rails, of a tree supporting cable winding drums, of one or more leaf return members. As for the corner pieces, they are necessary for the housing of roller bearing pins, rollers and side rails.

Les portes connues précédemment considérées sont stockées livrées et fournies en plusieurs pièces détachées. Le constructeur doit assembler ces pièces sur le site et assurer le réglage. Ces opérations sont forcément longues et coûteuses. De plus, le réglage peut se révéler n'être pas optimal.Known doors previously considered are stored delivered and supplied in several spare parts. The manufacturer must assemble these parts on site and ensure adjustment. These operations are necessarily long and expensive. In addition, the setting may turn out to be not optimal.

L'invention a notamment pour but de limiter la hauteur de la retombée de linteau et la largeur des écoinçons, ainsi que les durées d'assemblage et réglage sur le site de la construction.The object of the invention is in particular to limit the height of the lintel fallout and the width of the corner pieces, as well that the assembly and adjustment times on the site of the construction.

En conséquence, pour une ouverture donnée, il est possible d'utiliser une porte plus petite que celles antérieures. Ou, inversement, pour une porte donnée, l'ouverture peut être plus grande. Par ailleurs, le stockage, la livraison, la fourniture et l'installation (assemblage, montage, réglage) sont facilités, plus courts en durée, plus compacts en volume, moins coûteux.Consequently, for a given opening, it is possible to use a door smaller than the previous ones. Or, conversely, for a given door, the opening can to be bigger. In addition, storage, delivery, supply and installation (assembly, mounting, adjustment) are easier, shorter in duration, more compact in volume, less expensive.

Sur les figures est représentée une construction ayant une ouverture 1 à laquelle est destinée une porte 2.In the figures is shown a construction having a opening 1 for which a door 2 is intended.

L'ouverture 1 est typiquement celle permettant le passage d'un véhicule automobile, la porte 2 étant donc une porte de garage.The opening 1 is typically that allowing passage of a motor vehicle, door 2 therefore being a door garage.

On désigne par 3 le sol, par 4 la retombée de linteau et par 5 les écoinçons, d'un côté et de l'autre.We denote by 3 the ground, by 4 the fall of the lintel and by 5 the corner pieces, on one side and on the other.

Selon les dispositions constructives envisagées, la retombée de linteau 4 et les écoinçons 5 sont de taille réduite, comparativement à celles de l'état de la technique.According to the constructive provisions envisaged, the lintel fallout 4 and the corner pieces 5 are large reduced compared to those in the state of technical.

Par exemple, dans une réalisation, les tailles sont inférieures à 10 cm et notamment de l'ordre de 8 cm pour la retombée de linteau et de l'ordre de 9 cm pour chaque écoinçon.For example, in one embodiment, the sizes are less than 10 cm and in particular of the order of 8 cm for the lintel fallout and about 9 cm for each corner.

La porte 2 comprend un vantail 6, mobile entre une position de fermeture (figure 1) et une position d'ouverture.Door 2 includes a leaf 6, movable between a position closure (Figure 1) and an open position.

En position de fermeture, le vantail 6 est disposé verticalement ou sensiblement verticalement dans l'ouverture 1.In the closed position, the leaf 6 is disposed vertically or substantially vertically in opening 1.

En position d'ouverture, le vantail 6 est disposé horizontalement ou sensiblement horizontalement vers le plafond attenant à la retombée de linteau 4. In the open position, the leaf 6 is disposed horizontally or substantially horizontally towards the ceiling adjacent to the lintel drop 4.

La porte 2 considérée est donc de type à effacement au plafond et débattement vertical. Elle est par ailleurs de type sectionnelle, le vantail 6 comprenant une succession de panneaux 7 semblables ou identiques entre eux. Deux panneaux adjacents sont agencés et montés l'un sur l'autre d'une manière à être associés l'un à l'autre par des moyens de pivotement 8.The door 2 considered is therefore of the erasure type at ceiling and vertical travel. She is also sectional type, leaf 6 comprising a succession panels 7 similar or identical to each other. Of them adjacent panels are arranged and mounted one on top of the other in a way to be associated with each other by means pivot 8.

La porte 2 comprend également des rails de guidage latéraux 9 et des rails de guidage supérieurs 10. Ces rails sont disposés respectivement verticalement ou sensiblement verticalement, horizontalement ou sensiblement horizontalement. Ils sont placés à l'intérieur de la construction, respectivement de part et d'autre et au-dessus de l'ouverture 1. Ils sont localisés à proximité de cette ouverture 1. Les rails 9 et 10 forment deux ensembles d'un côté et de l'autre de l'ouverture 1. Chacun de ces deux ensembles comporte un ou deux rails latéraux 9 et un ou deux rails supérieurs 10, les derniers adjacents aux parties extrêmes supérieures des rails latéraux 9. Les deux ensembles de rails 9 et 10 sont situés dans deux plans verticaux parallèles entre eux, perpendiculaires au plan de l'ouverture 1. Les rails 9 sont fixés, directement ou non à la paroi de la construction dans laquelle est ménagée l'ouverture 1. Les rails 10 sont fixés notamment au plafond.Door 2 also includes lateral guide rails 9 and upper guide rails 10. These rails are arranged respectively vertically or substantially vertically, horizontally or substantially horizontally. They are placed inside the construction, respectively on either side and above of opening 1. They are located near this opening 1. The rails 9 and 10 form two sets on either side of opening 1. Each of these two sets have one or two side rails 9 and one or two upper rails 10, the last adjacent to upper extremities of the side rails 9. Both sets of rails 9 and 10 are located in two planes vertical parallel to each other, perpendicular to the plane of the opening 1. The rails 9 are fixed, directly or not to the wall of the building in which is housed the opening 1. The rails 10 are fixed in particular to the ceiling.

On définit par D une direction horizontale située dans le plan de l'ouverture 1, perpendiculaire au plan des deux ensembles de rails 9 et 10.We define by D a horizontal direction located in the plane of opening 1, perpendicular to the plane of the two rail sets 9 and 10.

Des galets 11 d'axe D coopérant avec les rails 9 et 10 sont portés par les panneaux 7 en saillie de leurs chants latéraux verticaux 12. Les galets 11 peuvent coulisser dans les rails 9 et 10 pour permettre le déplacement du vantail 6 entre ses positions d'ouverture et de fermeture. Rollers 11 of axis D cooperating with the rails 9 and 10 are carried by the panels 7 projecting from their edges vertical lateral 12. The rollers 11 can slide in the rails 9 and 10 to allow movement of the leaf 6 between its open and closed positions.

La porte 2 comprend également dans la réalisation considérée un mécanisme 13 comportant un arbre 13a d'axe D disposé vers la jonction des rails 9 et 10 -et donc vers l'extrémité supérieure des rails 9-, deux tambours 13b d'enroulement de câbles montés calés sur les parties extrêmes latérales de l'arbre 13a vers l'extérieur du vantail 6 et entre celui-ci et les rails latéraux 9 ; deux câbles liés d'une part au panneau d'extrémité inférieure du vantail 6, d'autre part enroulés sur les tambours 13b ; un ou plusieurs organes élastiques de rappel 13c montés sur l'arbre 13a, tels que ressort hélicoïdal ; des moyens de manoeuvre 13d, en l'occurrence manuels tels qu'une poignée commandant un loquet coopérant avec une fenêtre d'accrochage ménagée dans le dormant de la porte 2.Door 2 also includes in the production considered a mechanism 13 comprising a shaft 13a of axis D arranged towards the junction of rails 9 and 10 - and therefore towards the upper end of the rails 9-, two drums 13b cable winding mounted on the parts lateral ends of the shaft 13a towards the outside of the leaf 6 and between the latter and the side rails 9; of them cables linked on the one hand to the lower end panel of the leaf 6, on the other hand wound on the drums 13b; a or more elastic return members 13c mounted on the shaft 13a, such as a helical spring; ways to operation 13d, in this case manuals such as a handle controlling a latch cooperating with a window for hanging in the door frame 2.

Les câbles sont disposés verticalement ou sensiblement verticalement entre les bords latéraux du vantail 6 et les rails 9. Ils sont situés à proximité immédiate du plan de l'ouverture 1. Ils passent entre ce plan et les supports de galets 11. Ils ne sont donc pas accessibles de façon non souhaitée.Cables are arranged vertically or substantially vertically between the side edges of leaf 6 and the rails 9. They are located in the immediate vicinity of the plane of opening 1. They pass between this plane and the supports of pebbles 11. They are therefore not accessible in a non desired.

Les panneaux 7 comprennent un panneau d'extrémité inférieure 7a, un panneau d'extrémité supérieure 7b et un ou plusieurs panneaux intermédiaires 7c. Dans la réalisation de la figure 1, le vantail 6 comporte en tout quatre panneaux 7, identiques.The panels 7 include an end panel lower 7a, an upper end panel 7b and a or several intermediate panels 7c. In the embodiment of Figure 1, the leaf 6 comprises in all four identical panels 7.

Les panneaux 7 ont en élévation frontale un contour général rectangulaire, le grand côté étant horizontal et de direction D et le petit côté vertical (lorsque la porte 2 est installée et fermée).The panels 7 have a general outline in front elevation rectangular, the long side being horizontal and direction D and the small vertical side (when door 2 is installed and closed).

Un panneau 7 est limité par les deux chants latéraux 12 et deux chants longitudinaux 14.A panel 7 is limited by the two side edges 12 and two longitudinal edges 14.

Le cas échéant, il est associé aux chants longitudinaux 14 libres des panneaux 7a et 7b un joint d'étanchéité, une barre palpeuse ou autre dispositif approprié. If necessary, it is associated with the longitudinal edges 14 free from panels 7a and 7b a seal, a safety edge or other suitable device.

Les chants longitudinaux 14 ont, en section droite transversale, un profil de forme générale pseudo-triangulaire.The longitudinal edges 14 have, in cross section transverse, a generally pseudo-triangular profile.

Deux panneaux 7 adjacents sont associés à pivotement relatif l'un par rapport à l'autre autour d'un axe 15 parallèle à la direction D. Ils présentent deux chants longitudinaux sensiblement complémentaires l'un de l'autre à savoir respectivement un chant dit saillant 14a (ou mâle) et un chant dit rentrant 14b (ou femelle).Two adjacent panels 7 are associated with pivoting relative to each other around an axis 15 parallel to direction D. They present two songs longitudinal substantially complementary to each other namely respectively a song called salient 14a (or male) and a song said to come in 14b (or female).

Dans la réalisation considérée, les chants saillants 14a sont, lorsque la porte 2 est montée et fermée, dirigés vers le haut et en position haute. Et, inversement, les chants rentrant 14b sont dirigés vers le bas et en position basse. Un panneau 7 comporte donc, en haut, un chant saillant 14a et, en bas, un chant rentrant 14b.In the embodiment considered, the protruding edges 14a are, when door 2 is mounted and closed, directed towards up and in the up position. And, conversely, the songs returning 14b are directed downwards and in the low position. A panel 7 therefore comprises, at the top, a projecting edge 14a and, at the bottom, an inside song 14b.

Le chant saillant 14a présente une forme générale à concavité tournée vers l'intérieur du panneau 7. Le chant rentrant 14b présente une forme générale à convexité tournée vers l'intérieur du panneau 7.The protruding edge 14a has a general shape to concavity turned towards the inside of the panel 7. The edge reentrant 14b has a general shape with convexity facing the inside of the panel 7.

On décrit par la suite les chants saillant 14a et rentrant 14b en se référant à l'association de deux panneaux 7 dans laquelle ces chants sont conjugués.We describe below the protruding edges 14a and returning 14b with reference to the association of two panels 7 in which these songs are combined.

Un panneau 7 comprend un premier et un second parements respectivement 16 et 17, définissant ses grandes faces extérieures visibles 18 et 19, lesquelles sont parallèles. Les parements 16 et 17 sont réalisés à partir de feuilles métalliques minces, solidarisées rigidement l'une à l'autre. En particulier, les parements 16 et 17 sont réalisés à partir de feuilles en acier d'épaisseur de l'ordre de 0,4 mm.A panel 7 includes first and second facings respectively 16 and 17, defining its large faces visible exterior 18 and 19, which are parallel. The facings 16 and 17 are made from sheets thin metal, rigidly secured one to the other. In particular, facings 16 and 17 are made from steel sheets with a thickness of about 0.4 mm.

Les deux parements 16 et 17 sont, dans cette réalisation, réalisés à partir d'un même type de feuille mince. The two facings 16 and 17 are, in this embodiment, made from the same type of thin sheet.

Selon les réalisations, les deux parements 16 et 17 sont réalisés à partir de types différents de feuilles. Les feuilles des parements 16 et 17 peuvent être réalisées en d'autres matériaux que l'acier, dès lors que ce matériau est approprié à l'usage et aux performances requises.Depending on the designs, the two facings 16 and 17 are made from different types of leaves. The sheets of facings 16 and 17 can be made in other materials than steel, since this material is suitable for the use and performance required.

Le premier parement 16 est celui situé du côté extérieur de la construction c'est-à-dire vers la face visible "noble" 18 de la porte 2. Le second parement 17 bien visible sur la figure 1, est situé du côté intérieur de la construction (face 19).The first facing 16 is that located on the outside of construction, that is to say towards the "noble" visible face 18 of door 2. The second facing 17 clearly visible on the Figure 1, is located on the inside of the building (face 19).

L'un au moins des parements -en l'occurrence le premier parement 16- comporte au moins une nervure de rigidification 20 en creux, longitudinale, s'étendant entre les deux chants 12. L'autre parement, 17, est dans cette réalisation dépourvu de telle rainure et est substantiellement plan. Dans la réalisation représentée, la nervure longitudinale 20 s'étend en totalité sur la distance entre les deux chants 12. Selon une autre réalisation, la nervure 20 s'étend sur une partie seulement de cette distance.At least one of the facings - in this case the first facing 16- has at least one rib of stiffening 20 recessed, longitudinal, extending between the two songs 12. The other facing, 17, is in this realization without such groove and is substantially plan. In the illustrated embodiment, the longitudinal rib 20 extends entirely over the distance between the two edges 12. According to another embodiment, the rib 20 extends over only a part of this distance.

La nervure longitudinale 20 a, en section droite transversale, un profil sensiblement triangulaire ou arrondi.The longitudinal rib 20 a, in cross section transverse, a substantially triangular profile or round.

Le parement 16 comporte, dans la réalisation représentée correspondant à un panneau 7 de largeur appréciable, plusieurs nervures longitudinales 20. Celles-ci sont de profil identique ou proche. Les nervures 20 sont situées essentiellement dans la zone médiane du panneau 7, à l'écart des chants 14. Elles sont écartées de façon au moins sensiblement équidistante entre elles. Dans la réalisation considérée où la porte 2 comprend quatre panneaux 7, chacun de ceux-ci comprend cinq nervures longitudinales 20. The facing 16 comprises, in the embodiment shown corresponding to a panel 7 of appreciable width, several longitudinal ribs 20. These are of identical or close profile. The ribs 20 are located essentially in the middle area of panel 7, at the distance between the edges 14. They are spread so that less substantially equidistant from each other. In the considered realization where door 2 includes four panels 7, each of which includes five ribs longitudinal 20.

L'espace interne 56 du panneau 7, fermé à la périphérie par les deux parements 16, 17, est rempli -au moins partiellement- d'une matière synthétique qui s'expanse à la fabrication.The internal space 56 of the panel 7, closed at the periphery by the two facings 16, 17, is filled -at least partially- of a synthetic material which expands manufacturing.

Par ailleurs, le panneau 7 est dépourvu de renfort ou d'insert intérieur de rigidification substantielle.Furthermore, the panel 7 is devoid of reinforcement or interior insert of substantial stiffening.

Un chant longitudinal 14 a une épaisseur allant en décroissant, de façon continue, depuis les grandes faces 18, 19 jusqu'à son bord libre longitudinal 21.A longitudinal edge 14 has a thickness ranging from decreasing, continuously, from the large faces 18, 19 to its longitudinal free edge 21.

Le chant 14 est essentiellement défini par plusieurs faces sensiblement planes successives d'un des parements, en l'occurrence le parement extérieur 16 ayant la ou les nervures longitudinales 20.Edge 14 is essentially defined by several faces substantially successive planes of one of the facings, in the occurrence the outer facing 16 having the longitudinal ribs 20.

Plus spécialement, le chant 14 est défini par au plus quatre faces (deux faces dans la réalisation représentée), et un arrondi formant le bord libre longitudinal 21.More specifically, edge 14 is defined by at most four faces (two faces in the embodiment shown), and a rounding forming the longitudinal free edge 21.

Pour le chant saillant 14a, ces deux faces sont, à partir de la première grande face extérieure 18 et s'agissant du parement 16, une face 22 de plus grande largeur suivie d'une face 23 de plus petite largeur, cette dernière étant elle-même suivie et terminée par l'arrondi du bord 21 de raccordement avec la seconde grande face intérieure 19.For the protruding edge 14a, these two faces are, from of the first large outer face 18 and as regards the facing 16, a face 22 of greater width followed a face 23 of smaller width, the latter being itself followed and terminated by the rounding of edge 21 of connection with the second large inner face 19.

Pour le chant rentrant 14b, ces deux faces sont, à partir de la première grande face extérieure 18 et s'agissant du parement 16, moyennant l'arrondi du bord 21, une face 24 de plus petite largeur et une face 25 de plus grande largeur de raccordement avec la seconde grande face intérieure 19.For the incoming edge 14b, these two faces are, from of the first large outer face 18 and as regards the facing 16, by means of the rounded edge 21, a face 24 of smaller width and one side 25 of greater width of connection with the second large inner face 19.

Le parement 16 est plié et roulé en vue de réaliser les faces 22, 23, 24, 25 et les bords arrondis 21.The facing 16 is folded and rolled in order to achieve the faces 22, 23, 24, 25 and the rounded edges 21.

Au moins une face 26 de la nervure 20 a, par rapport à la première grande face extérieure 18 du parement 16, dans la réalisation considérée, une inclinaison analogue ou voisine de celle de la face 22 du chant longitudinal saillant 14a.At least one face 26 of the rib 20 a, relative to the first large outer face 18 of the facing 16, in the considered embodiment, an analogous or similar inclination from that of the face 22 of the protruding longitudinal edge 14a.

Par ailleurs, dans cette réalisation, le profil de la nervure 20 est analogue ou voisin du profil formé par les deux bords longitudinaux adjacents des deux panneaux 7 adjacents associés et coplanaires. Ce dernier profil est en l'occurrence formé par une partie de la face 22 de l'un des panneaux 7 et l'arrondi 21 en regard de l'autre panneau 7.Furthermore, in this embodiment, the profile of the rib 20 is similar to or close to the profile formed by the two adjacent longitudinal edges of the two panels 7 associated and coplanar adjacent. This last profile is in the occurrence formed by a part of the face 22 of one of the panels 7 and the rounding 21 opposite the other panel 7.

Un panneau 7 a une épaisseur totale inférieure à 3 cm.A panel 7 has a total thickness of less than 3 cm.

La masse totale d'un panneau 7 selon la structure décrite peut être de l'ordre de 9 à 10 kg/m2, notamment voisine de 9,5 kg/m2.The total mass of a panel 7 according to the structure described can be of the order of 9 to 10 kg / m 2 , in particular close to 9.5 kg / m 2 .

Toutefois, malgré cette légèreté, la rigidité du panneau 7 à la flexion est excellente.However, despite this lightness, the rigidity of the panel 7 bending is excellent.

Ce résultat peut être atteint alors même que les parements 16 et 17 peuvent être dépourvus de nervure, rainure ou saillie de rigidification substantielle s'étendant en direction transversale.This result can be achieved even when the siding 16 and 17 can be devoid of rib, groove or substantial stiffening projection extending in transverse direction.

Toutefois, il serait possible de prévoir une -ou de-telle(s) nervure(s), rainure(s) ou saillie(s) de rigidification transversale(s).However, it would be possible to provide one or more rib (s), groove (s) or projection (s) of transverse stiffening (s).

Ainsi, il serait possible que le parement 16 soit pourvu de nervures longitudinales 20 et pourvu également d'au moins une -et le cas échéant plusieurs- nervures transversales en creux, de profil analogue ou voisin de celui d'une nervure longitudinale 20, le panneau étant de type dit à cassettes. Ces cassettes sont typiquement des motifs emboutis sur le parement extérieur, formant des reliefs de forme rectangulaire ou asymétrique, présentant un léger creux sur la surface intérieure et entourés d'une bordure périphérique. Thus, it would be possible that the facing 16 is provided with longitudinal ribs 20 and also provided with at least one - and if necessary several - transverse ribs in hollow, similar in profile or close to that of a rib longitudinal 20, the panel being of the so-called cassette type. These cassettes are typically stamped patterns on the exterior facing, forming shape reliefs rectangular or asymmetrical, with a slight hollow on the inner surface and surrounded by a border peripheral.

Selon une réalisation, la profondeur d'une nervure longitudinale 20 est de l'ordre de grandeur du tiers de l'épaisseur totale du panneau 7.According to one embodiment, the depth of a rib longitudinal 20 is of the order of magnitude of a third of the total thickness of the panel 7.

Les deux feuilles formant les parements 16 et 17 sont solidarisées rigidement l'une à l'autre vers chacun des chants 14 par un pliage avec imbrication 27.The two sheets forming the facings 16 and 17 are rigidly secured to each other towards each of the edges 14 by folding with nesting 27.

Ce pliage 27 est plat et sensiblement coplanaire avec une des grandes faces du panneau 7 en l'occurrence la seconde grande face intérieure 19, du côté du parement 17. Dans cette réalisation, le pliage 27 est donc situé du côté opposé à (c'est-à-dire en regard) la première grande face 18 où se trouve la ou les nervures longitudinales 20.This folding 27 is flat and substantially coplanar with a large faces of the panel 7 in this case the second large inner face 19, on the side of the facing 17. In this embodiment, the folding 27 is therefore located on the side opposite to (i.e. opposite) the first large face 18 where the longitudinal rib (s) 20 is located.

Le pliage 27 est obtenu au moyen d'un pli 28 dans un sens du parement 16 et d'un pli 29 dans l'autre sens du parement 17, les deux plis 28, 29 étant imbriqués l'un dans l'autre à la manière d'un crochet (figures 5a, 5b, 6a, 6b).Folding 27 is obtained by means of a fold 28 in one direction of facing 16 and of a fold 29 in the other direction of facing 17, the two folds 28, 29 being nested one inside the other in the manner of a hook (Figures 5a, 5b, 6a, 6b).

Le pliage 27 est situé s'agissant du chant saillant 14a sensiblement en regard de l'arête 30 que forme la première face inclinée 22 du chant sur la première grande face opposée 18. S'agissant du chant rentrant 14b, le pliage 27 est situé au voisinage de l'arête 31 que forme la première face inclinée 25 du chant sur la même seconde grande face 19.The folding 27 is located with regard to the projecting edge 14a substantially opposite the edge 30 formed by the first inclined face 22 of the edge on the first large face opposite 18. With regard to the inside edge 14b, the folding 27 is located near the edge 31 formed by the first inclined face 25 of the edge on the same second large face 19.

Un pliage 27 forme également un moyen fonctionnel de fixation d'un élément de charnière des moyens de pivotement 8. En effet, un pliage 27 permet le serrage efficace d'une (ou plusieurs) vis 32 de fixation de charnière.A folding 27 also forms a functional means of fixing of a hinge element of the pivoting means 8. Indeed, a folding 27 allows effective clamping of a (or more) screws 32 for hinge fixing.

Avec la réalisation qui est décrite, le parement 16 présente une forme générale de cuvette en U, tandis que le parement 17 est sensiblement plat.With the embodiment which is described, the facing 16 has a general U-shaped bowl, while the facing 17 is substantially flat.

Le panneau 7 comporte également, fixé sur chacun de ses chants 12, un profilé en U rapporté 33. The panel 7 also comprises, fixed to each of its edges 12, an added U-shaped profile 33.

Dans la réalisation considérée, un chant 14 comporte une face 22, 24 inclinée entre 15° et 25°, en particulier d'environ 20° par rapport aux grandes faces 18, 19. Il comporte également une face 23, 25 inclinée entre 40° et 50° en particulier d'environ 45° sur ces mêmes grandes faces 18, 19.In the embodiment considered, a song 14 includes a face 22, 24 inclined between 15 ° and 25 °, in particular about 20 ° with respect to the large faces 18, 19. It also has a face 23, 25 inclined between 40 ° and 50 ° in particular about 45 ° on these same large faces 18, 19.

Deux faces adjacentes d'un chant 14 à savoir 22, 23 d'une part 24, 25 d'autre part forment entre elles une arête et un angle saillant ou rentrant respectivement 34, 35, compris entre 150° et 160°, en particulier d'environ 155°.Two adjacent faces of a song 14, namely 22, 23 of a part 24, 25 on the other hand form an edge between them and a salient or re-entrant angle respectively 34, 35, between 150 ° and 160 °, in particular about 155 °.

Quant à l'arrondi 21, il a un rayon de courbure de l'ordre ou inférieur au dixième de l'épaisseur totale du panneau 7.As for the rounding 21, it has a radius of curvature of the order or less than a tenth of the total thickness of the panel 7.

Deux panneaux 7 tels qu'ils viennent d'être décrits sont montés l'un sur l'autre à pivotement relatif par les moyens de pivotement 8 associés rigidement pour un des panneaux 7 vers son chant longitudinal saillant 14a et, pour l'autre panneau 7, vers son chant longitudinal rentrant 14b. Cette association rigide est assurée au moyen des vis 32. Les moyens de pivotement 8 comprennent au moins deux charnières d'extrémité 8a vers les chants latéraux 12 et, le cas échéant, une ou plusieurs charnières intermédiaires 8b. Les deux éléments 36, 37 de chaque charnière 8 sont fixés aux panneaux 7 au moins sur les pliages avec imbrication 27. Ces éléments comportent des parties en forme de platine 38 pourvu de trous 39 pour les vis 32 de type à tête épaulée et de parties incurvées 40 pour le passage et la fixation d'un tourillon 41 formant l'axe 15.Two panels 7 as just described are mounted on each other with relative pivoting by the means pivot 8 rigidly associated for one of the panels 7 towards its protruding longitudinal edge 14a and, for the other panel 7, towards its reentrant longitudinal edge 14b. This rigid association is ensured by means of the screws 32. The pivot means 8 comprise at least two hinges end 8a towards the side edges 12 and, if applicable if necessary, one or more intermediate hinges 8b. The two elements 36, 37 of each hinge 8 are fixed to the panels 7 at least on folds with nesting 27. These elements include platinum-shaped parts 38 provided with holes 39 for the screws 32 of the shoulder head type and curved parts 40 for passage and fixing a pin 41 forming the axis 15.

L'axe de pivotement 15 des charnières 8, donc des panneaux 7, est situé à l'extérieur de l'encombrement des panneaux, à proximité de la seconde grande face 19 et du parement 17 où se trouve le pliage 27, sensiblement au droit de la partie médiane du chant saillant 14a du premier panneau 7 et sensiblement au droit du bord libre 21 du chant rentrant 14b du second panneau lorsque celui-ci prolonge le premier de façon coplanaire. Sur les figures 7, 8, 9 et 10, le panneau 7 qualifié de "premier" est en position inférieure et celui qualifié de "second" est en position supérieure.The pivot axis 15 of the hinges 8, therefore of the panels 7, is situated outside the space taken up by the panels, near the second large face 19 and the facing 17 where the folding 27 is located, substantially at the right of the middle part of the protruding edge 14a of the first panel 7 and substantially to the right of the free edge 21 of the inside edge 14b of the second panel when it extends the first in a coplanar fashion. In Figures 7, 8, 9 and 10, the panel 7 described as "first" is in the lower position and the one described as "second" is in the upper position.

Plus particulièrement, l'axe de pivotement 15 est écarté de la seconde grande face 19 et du parement 17 du premier panneau 7 d'une valeur de l'ordre de grandeur du tiers, de la moitié, ou même moins, de l'épaisseur totale du panneau 7.More particularly, the pivot axis 15 is spaced from the second large face 19 and the facing 17 of the first panel 7 worth about a third of the magnitude, half, or even less, of the total thickness of the panel 7.

Les deux chants longitudinaux 14a, 14b en regard des deux panneaux 7 sont écartés l'un de l'autre par un espace libre 42, réduit. Cet espace 42 ainsi configuré et proportionné forme un anti pince doigt extérieur.The two longitudinal edges 14a, 14b opposite the two panels 7 are spaced from each other by a free space 42, reduced. This space 42 thus configured and proportioned forms an external finger clip.

Les faces 24, 25 du chant rentrant 14b sont sensiblement tangentes à un arc de cercle ayant pour centre l'axe de pivotement 15.The faces 24, 25 of the re-entrant edge 14b are substantially tangents to an arc having the axis of pivot 15.

Les charnières d'extrémité 8a sont fixées sur les profilés rapportés 33 formant les chants latéraux 12.The end hinges 8a are fixed to the profiles reported 33 forming the side edges 12.

Selon une réalisation la porte 2 comprend également un anti pince doigt intérieur 43 sous la forme de plaques ou profilés rapportés, fixés à plat sur le second panneau 7, sur la seconde grande face 19 où se trouve le pliage 27 (parement 17). Une telle plaque ou profilé 43 s'étend jusqu'à être légèrement sous l'axe de pivotement 15, lorsque les deux panneaux en question sont en prolongement l'un par rapport à l'autre de façon coplanaire.According to one embodiment, door 2 also includes an anti inner finger clip 43 in the form of plates or added profiles, fixed flat on the second panel 7, on the second large face 19 where the folding 27 is located (facing 17). Such a plate or section 43 extends until it is slightly below the pivot axis 15, when the two panels in question are in extension relative to each other in a coplanar fashion.

Dans une variante de cette réalisation (figure 7), la plaque ou profilé 43 est repliée en 44 pour venir contre le parement 16 du premier panneau lorsque les deux panneaux sont en prolongation et coplanaires.In a variant of this embodiment (FIG. 7), the plate or profile 43 is folded at 44 to come against the facing 16 of the first panel when the two panels are in overtime and co-planar.

Selon une autre réalisation, l'anti pince doigt intérieur 43 n'est pas une pièce rapportée fixée à plat sur la grande face 19 du second panneau 7, mais est intégré à la face 19 du parement 17. La grande face 19 s'étend alors jusqu'à être légèrement décalée de la partie médiane du chant saillant 14a du premier panneau 7, lorsque les deux panneaux en question sont en prolongement l'un par rapport à l'autre de façon coplanaire (figure 7a).According to another embodiment, the internal anti-finger clip 43 is not an insert fixed flat on the large side 19 of the second panel 7, but is integrated into side 19 of the facing 17. The large face 19 then extends to be slightly offset from the middle of the edge protruding 14a from the first panel 7, when the two panels in question are an extension of one to the other in a coplanar fashion (Figure 7a).

La grande face 19 est repliée en 44 pour venir contre le parement 16 du premier panneau 7 lorsque les deux panneaux sont en prolongation et coplanaires, et pour former le pliage 27 pour le second panneau 7.The large face 19 is folded at 44 to come against the facing 16 of the first panel 7 when the two panels are in extension and coplanar, and to form the folding 27 for the second panel 7.

Un des deux éléments d'une charnière d'extrémité 8a, soit l'élément 36 par exemple, présente une forme d'équerre ayant d'une part la platine 38 et d'autre part une patte 45 pourvue d'une lumière oblongue 46, s'étendant sensiblement perpendiculairement à la platine 38 en question, dans laquelle est fixé rigidement mais de façon réglable en position un tourillon 47 support du galet 11. Le dit tourillon 47 a en section droite transversale un profil 48 non circulaire, notamment polygonal, en vue du serrage de fixation.One of the two elements of an end hinge 8a, namely element 36 for example, has a square shape having on the one hand the plate 38 and on the other hand a tab 45 provided with an oblong lumen 46, extending substantially perpendicular to the plate 38 in question, in which is rigidly fixed but adjustable in position a pin 47 supporting the roller 11. The said pin 47 has in cross section a profile 48 non-circular, in particular polygonal, for clamping fixation.

Les panneaux 7 ainsi constitués ont l'avantage d'être d'un poids réduit. Il en est donc de même de l'ensemble du vantail 6.The panels 7 thus formed have the advantage of being of a reduced weight. So it is the same for the whole leaf 6.

Cette structure a comme conséquence que le tambour d'enroulement de câble peut être à diamètre réduit, tel que compris entre 65 et 75 mm.This structure results in the drum cable winding can be reduced in diameter, such as between 65 and 75 mm.

Il en résulte que la retombée de linteau et les écoinçons peuvent également être de taille réduite, comme il a été indiqué précédemment. As a result, the lintel fallout and the corner pieces can also be reduced in size, as it has been indicated previously.

La porte comprend en outre une serrure par exemple à rappel automatique, deux tringles de commande avec des embouts aux extrémités qui viennent se verrouiller dans des gâches fixes. Lors de la fermeture, la serrure est manoeuvrée par une poignée condamnée par un cylindre à clé.The door further comprises a lock, for example a reminder automatic, two control rods with end caps ends which come to lock in strikes fixed. When closing, the lock is operated by a handle locked by a key cylinder.

Une fois les différentes pièces constitutives de la porte 2 qui vient d'être décrite réalisées, notamment les panneaux 7, celles-ci sont assemblées et pré-montées.Once the different components of door 2 which has just been described, in particular the panels 7, these are assembled and pre-assembled.

Ce pré-montage permet de réaliser deux ensembles. Un premier ensemble inclut les rails de guidage latéraux 9, le vantail 6 placé entre eux, les galets 11 coopérant avec les rails 9 et, enfin, le mécanisme 13. Un second ensemble inclut les rails de guidage supérieurs 10, éventuellement une traverse 49 destinée à les raccorder.This pre-assembly allows two sets to be made. A first set includes the lateral guide rails 9, the leaf 6 placed between them, the rollers 11 cooperating with the rails 9 and, finally, the mechanism 13. A second set includes upper guide rails 10, optionally a cross member 49 intended to connect them.

Le premier ensemble 6, 7, 9, 11, 13 est compact et s'inscrit dans une enveloppe de forme générale parallélépipédique aplatie. En effet, ainsi que cela a été mentionné précédemment, cet ensemble est limité latéralement par les rails 9, les tambours 13b ne saillant pas de cet ensemble puisque placés entre le vantail 6 et les rails 9. Quant aux câbles, il sont incorporés dans la quincallerie de la porte 2, c'est-à-dire qu'ils ne sont pas en saillie.The first set 6, 7, 9, 11, 13 is compact and fits in a generally shaped envelope flattened parallelepiped. Indeed, as has been previously mentioned, this set is limited laterally by the rails 9, the drums 13b not projecting not of this set since placed between leaf 6 and the rails 9. As for the cables, they are incorporated in the door 2 hardware, i.e. they are not projecting.

Le premier ensemble de la porte 2 qui vient d'être décrit est tel qu'il peut également être pré-réglé lors de la fabrication. Ce pré-réglage concerne la longueur, la disposition et la tension des câbles ainsi que le ou les ressorts(s) 13c.The first set of door 2 which has just been described is such that it can also be preset during the manufacturing. This pre-setting concerns the length, arrangement and tension of cables as well as springs 13c.

Cette disposition constructive est avantageuse car elle conduit à un pré-réglage de qualité lors de la fabrication et évite des opérations fastidieuses, longues ou délicates sur le site de montage final de la porte. This constructive arrangement is advantageous because it leads to a quality pre-setting during manufacturing and avoids tedious, long or delicate operations at the final installation site of the door.

Le second ensemble 10, 49 peut être placé à plat contre le vantail 6 du premier ensemble du côté de la seconde grande face 19.The second set 10, 49 can be placed flat against the leaf 6 of the first assembly on the side of the second large face 19.

Ainsi, les deux ensembles qui viennent d'être décrits forment-ils un colis pouvant s'inscrire dans une épaisseur hors tout inférieure à 125 mm, alors que dans l'état de la technique l'épaisseur avoisine et même dépasse 155 mm.Thus, the two sets which have just been described do they form a package that can fit into a thickness overall less than 125 mm, while in the condition of the technical thickness is close to and even exceeds 155 mm.

Des portes 2 telles qu'elles viennent d'être décrites sont conditionnées au moyen d'un conditionnement 50.Doors 2 as just described are conditioned by a package 50.

Le conditionnement 50 comporte un support 51 formant une palette pour sa partie 52 et un ratelier pour sa partie 53.The packaging 50 comprises a support 51 forming a pallet for its part 52 and a rack for its part 53.

Le ratelier 53 est apte à recevoir une pluralité de portes telles qu'elles viennent d'être décrites, placées côte à côte.The rack 53 is suitable for receiving a plurality of doors as just described, placed side by side side.

Le support 51 comporte, pour la partie formant ratelier 53 deux flancs latéraux 54. Par ailleurs, le conditionnement 50 comporte également, dans la réalisation considérée, deux fers plats latéraux 55.The support 51 includes, for the rack portion 53 two lateral flanks 54. Furthermore, the packaging 50 also comprises, in the embodiment considered, two side flat irons 55.

Un tel conditionnement peut recevoir jusqu'à neuf portes chacun se présentant sous la forme du colis précédemment décrit. Ces portes sont placées deux à deux symétriques de manière que les deux premières grandes faces 18 ou les deux secondes grandes faces 19 des deux portes soient en regard l'une de l'autre, ou placées dans le même sens.Such packaging can receive up to nine doors each in the form of a package previously described. These doors are placed two by two symmetrical way that the first two large faces 18 or both second large faces 19 of the two doors are facing each other from each other, or placed in the same direction.

Les portes étant ainsi disposées, elles peuvent être fixées de façon amovible par leurs rails latéraux 9 aux flancs 54 aux moyens de vis.The doors being thus arranged, they can be fixed removably by their side rails 9 to the sides 54 by means of screws.

Quant aux fers plat 55, ils sont fixés de la même manière à l'opposé des flancs 54. As for the flat irons 55, they are fixed in the same way to opposite sides 54.

Le support 51 est placé en partie basse, formant palette. Les fers plats 55 sont placés en partie haute.The support 51 is placed in the lower part, forming a pallet. The flat irons 55 are placed in the upper part.

L'encombrement hors tout d'un tel conditionnement comprenant neuf portes et s'inscrivant dans un parallélépipède est par exemple de 1,15 m x 3,20 m sur 2,60 m en hauteur, ou moins.The overall size of such packaging comprising nine doors and part of a parallelepiped is for example 1.15 mx 3.20 m by 2.60 m in height, or less.

Les portes une fois fabriquées sont conditionnées ainsi qu'il vient d'être décrit. Ce conditionnement est facilement transportable étant donné le poids limité des panneaux 7. Le conditionnement 50 permet un stockage d'attente commode des portes avant qu'elles ne soient mises en place dans une construction.The doors once manufactured are conditioned as well that it has just been described. This conditioning is easily transportable given the limited weight of panels 7. Packaging 50 allows storage convenient waiting of doors before they are put in place in a construction.

Pour cette mise en place, on prend une porte du conditionnement 50, on l'amène sur le site de la construction, on met en place et on fixe à ladite construction le premier ensemble 6, 7, 9, 11, 13 et le second ensemble 10, 49.For this installation, we take a door from packaging 50, we bring it to the site of the construction, we set up and fix to said build the first set 6, 7, 9, 11, 13 and the second set 10, 49.

La porte ayant été pré-montée en fabrication et pré-réglée, le montage peut être rapide.The door having been pre-assembled in manufacturing and pre-adjusted, mounting can be quick.
