Description

L'invention concerne un châssis d'oculus destiné au montage d'un vitrage dans une ouverture ménagée à travers une paroi. L'invention s'étend également à l'oculus comprenant un tel châssis et à son procédé de montage.The invention relates to an oculus frame intended for mounting a glazing in an opening formed through a wall. The invention also extends to the oculus comprising such a chassis and to its mounting process.

Dans toute la présente demande, on désigne par "oculus", toute fenêtre à vitrage, de forme périphérique exempte d'angles vifs et de dimension maximale hors tout inférieure à 1 mètre. Le terme "axial" et ses dérivés sont utilisés en référence à la direction perpendiculaire au plan général de l'ouverture et du vitrage, et le terme "radial" et ses dérivés sont utilisés pour désigner les directions perpendiculaires à la direction axiale.Throughout this application, the term "oculus", any window with glazing, of peripheral shape free from sharp angles and maximum overall dimension less than 1 meter. The term "axial" and its derivatives are used with reference to the direction perpendicular to the general plane of opening and glazing, and the term "radial" and its derivatives are used to designate the directions perpendicular to the axial direction.

Un oculus peut être de forme au moins sensiblement circulaire, c'est à dire adapté pour le montage d'un vitrage au moins sensiblement rond dans une ouverture au moins sensiblement circulaire (hublot), ou rectangulaire ou carré (à coins arrondis), ou autre.An oculus may be at least substantially shaped circular, that is to say suitable for mounting a glazing at least substantially round in an opening at least substantially circular (porthole), or rectangular or square (with rounded corners), or other.

Les châssis d'oculus connus sont constitués d'un ou plusieurs profilés métalliques cintrés et/ou roulés de façon à définir d'une part une gorge périphérique extérieure en U dans laquelle la bordure de la paroi délimitant l'ouverture est insérée, et d'autre part une gorge périphérique intérieure en U, formée en général avec une parclose circulaire rapportée, recevant la bordure périphérique du vitrage. Les deux extrémités du profilé cintré et/ou roulé sont soudées l'une à l'autre, ou reliées par l'intermédiaire d'un dispositif d'écartement permettant le serrage radial du châssis dans l'ouverture.The known oculus frames consist of one or several bent and / or rolled metal sections so as to define on the one hand an outer U-shaped peripheral groove in which the wall edge delimiting the opening is inserted, and on the other hand an inner peripheral groove U-shaped, usually formed with a circular bole reported, receiving the peripheral edge of the glazing. Both ends of the curved and / or rolled profile are welded to each other, or connected via a device spacer allowing radial clamping of the frame in the opening.

Ces châssis d'oculus connus présentent plusieurs inconvénients. Ils ne permettent pas d'équiper des ouvertures de petites dimensions et/ou présentant des faibles rayons de courbures. Il n'est pas possible non plus de réaliser des sections de profilés de formes complexes pour procurer un aspect esthétique original. Ils n'offrent pas de possibilités d'ajustement, sur le chantier, selon l'épaisseur de la paroi et celle du vitrage à monter. Ils offrent une résistance relativement médiocre, notamment compte tenu de la quantité de matière utilisée. Les châssis d'oculus montés dans l'ouverture par écartement des extrémités du profilé n'offrent qu'une fixation médiocre par rapport à la paroi. A l'inverse, les châssis d'oculus fixés à la paroi grâce à des boulons ou des vis pénétrant dans l'épaisseur de la paroi, régulièrement répartis à la périphérie du châssis, sont longs et compliqués à monter.These known oculus frames have several disadvantages. They do not allow to equip small openings dimensions and / or having small radii of curvature. It is not possible nor to make section sections of complex shapes to provide an original aesthetic appearance. They do not offer adjustment possibilities, on the site, depending on the thickness of the wall and the glazing to be mounted. They offer a relatively poor resistance, especially given the amount of material used. Oculus frames mounted in the opening by spacing The ends of the profile offer only a poor fixation relative to the wall. AT Conversely, oculus frames attached to the wall with bolts or screws penetrating into the thickness of the wall, regularly distributed on the periphery of the chassis, are long and complicated to mount.

Ainsi, WO-97.26179 décrit une fenêtre de bateau procurant une isolation thermique accrue, comprenant un flasque avant, un flasque arrière et un flasque intermédiaire, des cales d'épaisseur et d'isolation thermique, et des vis serrant axialement ces élément ensemble les uns sur les autres.Thus, WO-97.26179 discloses a boat window procuring an increased thermal insulation, comprising a front flange, a rear flange and an intermediate flange, shims and insulation thermal, and screws axially tightening these elements together on each other.

Afin de faciliter le montage, il est prévu un prémontage par vis des flasques avant et intermédiaire avec le vitrage interposé et serré entre leurs portées internes d'appui. L'ensemble ainsi prémonté est placé dans l'ouverture de la paroi et fixé par vis au flasque arrière de manière à serrer la bordure de la paroi entre les portées externes d'appui des flasques avant et arrière.In order to facilitate the assembly, it is envisaged a pre-assembly by screws of the front and intermediate flanges with the glazing interposed and tight between their internal bearing surfaces. The whole as well preassembled is placed in the opening of the wall and fixed by screws to the rear flange so as to tighten the edge of the wall between the outer bearing seats front and rear flanges.

L'invention vise à proposer un châssis d'oculus qui puisse être réalisé avec de très petites dimensions -notamment avec un diamètre maximal hors tout compris entre 100 mm et 1 000 mm-, qui puisse présenter des formes esthétiques originales, et dont le montage par rapport à la paroi soit extrêmement simple et d'une grande solidité.The invention aims to propose an oculus frame that can be made with very small dimensions -especially with a maximum diameter 100 mm and 1000 mm-, which can present original aesthetic forms, and whose assembly relative to the wall is extremely simple and of great solidity.

Plus particulièrement, l'invention vise à proposer un châssis d'oculus qui puisse aisément être adapté à toutes épaisseurs de paroi et de vitrage, sur le chantier.More particularly, the invention aims to propose a chassis oculus that can easily be adapted to any thickness of wall and glazing, on site.

L'invention vise en outre à proposer un châssis d'oculus de faible prix de revient.The invention also aims to propose an oculus frame of low cost price.

Pour ce faire, l'invention concerne un châssis d'oculus conforme à la revendication 1. To do this, the invention relates to an oculus frame according to claim 1.

Avantageusement et selon l'invention, les moyens de serrage axial du flasque arrière sont des moyens de serrage axial du flasque arrière et du flasque intermédiaire l'un sur l'autre.Advantageously and according to the invention, the means of axial clamping of the rear flange are means for axial clamping of the flange back and the intermediate flange on top of each other.

Par cadre "continu sans fin" on désigne un cadre s'étendant continûment, refermé sur lui même sans jonction ni soudure.By "continuous endless" frame is meant a frame extending continuously, closed on itself without junction or welding.

Il est à noter également que l'on désigne par «vitrage», de façon générale, un dispositif comprenant au moins une vitre. Ainsi, un vitrage peut être constitué d'une seule vitre ou, au contraire, d'une pluralité de vitres (vitrage multiple). Le vitrage est de préférence de type fixe, les portées internes d'appui du flasque avant et du flasque intermédiaire venant directement au contact de la bordure périphérique d'une vitre ou d'un flanc d'un profilé de liaison de vitrage multiple. Rien n'empêche néanmoins de prévoir que le vitrage soit du type ouvrant c'est à dire incorpore lui même un cadre et un mécanisme d'ouverture/fermeture de la (des) vitre(s) par rapport à ce cadre.It should also be noted that the term "glazing" refers to generally, a device comprising at least one window. Thus, a glazing may consist of a single pane or, conversely, a plurality of panes (multiple glazing). The glazing is preferably fixed type, the internal surfaces support of the front flange and intermediate flange coming directly to contact of the peripheral edge of a window or a side of a connecting profile multiple glazing. However, nothing prevents the glazing from being opening type ie incorporates itself a frame and a mechanism opening / closing the window (s) relative to this frame.

Le châssis d'oculus représenté sur les figures comprend trois flasques de montage 1, 2, 3. Chaque flasque de montage est constitué d'une seule pièce moulée rigide métallique issue de fonderie, par exemple en aluminium, en forme de cadre continu sans fin adapté à la forme d'une ouverture et d'un vitrage 4 monté dans cette ouverture grâce au châssis. Dans l'exemple représenté, l'ouverture à équiper, le vitrage 4, et chacun des flasques de montage 1, 2, 3 présentent une forme globalement circulaire. Le vitrage 4 représenté est une vitre simple fixe, mais peut tout aussi bien être formé, en variante non représentée, d'un vitrage multiple, et/ou incorporer des moyens d'ouverture par rapport à un cadre, c'est-à-dire être formé d'un vitrage ouvrant.The oculus frame shown in the figures comprises three mounting flanges 1, 2, 3. Each mounting flange consists of a only rigid cast metal casting, for example in aluminum, shaped endless continuous frame adapted to the shape of an opening and a glazing 4 mounted in this opening through the frame. In the example shown, the opening to be equipped, the glazing 4, and each of the mounting flanges 1, 2, 3 have a generally circular shape. The glazing 4 shown is a single fixed glass, but can be formed as well shown, of a multiple glazing, and / or incorporate opening means by compared to a frame, that is to say be formed of an opening glazing.

Le châssis est destiné à équiper l'ouverture ménagée dans une paroi 5 présentant un côté avant 6 (en général situé à l'extérieur d'un bâtiment ou d'une pièce fermée par la paroi 5) et un côté arrière 7 (en général le côté intérieur d'un bâtiment ou d'une pièce fermée par la paroi 5). L'ouverture est délimitée par un chant 11 de paroi 5 qui présente, à partir de ce chant 11, une bordure 9 du côté avant et une bordure 18 du côté arrière.The frame is intended to equip the opening provided in a wall 5 having a front side 6 (generally located outside a building or a closed part by the wall 5) and a rear side 7 (in general the side inside a building or a room closed by the wall 5). The opening is delimited by a song 11 of wall 5 which presents, from this song 11, a border 9 on the front side and a border 18 on the back side.

Le châssis comprend un flasque avant 1 de montage comprenant une couronne périphérique extérieure 8 adaptée pour s'étendre radialement au-delà de l'ouverture, en regard de la bordure 9 de la paroi 5 qui délimite l'ouverture du côté avant. La couronne périphérique extérieure 8 du flasque avant 1 définit ainsi une portée externe d'appui 10 en forme de couronne s'étendant selon un plan radial. La portée externe d'appui 10 est orientée vers l'arrière et adaptée pour s'étendre radialement sur le côté avant 6 de la paroi 5.The chassis includes a flange before mounting 1 comprising an outer peripheral ring 8 adapted to extend radially beyond the opening, facing the edge 9 of the wall 5 which delimits the opening of the front side. The outer peripheral ring 8 of the front flange 1 thus defines an outer bearing surface 10 in the form of a crown extending in a radial plane. The external bearing surface 10 is oriented towards the rear and adapted to extend radially on the front side 6 of the wall 5.

Par ailleurs, le flasque avant 1 définit une porté interne d'appui 12 orientée vers l'arrière et adaptée pour s'étendre radialement sur le côté avant 13 de la bordure périphérique 14 du vitrage 4. Cette portée interne d'appui 12 est en forme générale de couronne, s'étend selon un plan radial, et comprend une gorge 15 de réception d'un joint d'étanchéité torique 16, ménagée en creux selon la direction axiale vers l'avant dans cette portée interne d'appui 12.Furthermore, the flange before 1 defines an internal worn 12 facing backwards and adapted to extend radially on the side before 13 of the peripheral edge 14 of the glazing 4. This internal bearing surface 12 is in the general shape of a crown, extends in a radial plane, and comprises a groove 15 for receiving an O-ring 16, hollowed out in the axial direction forward in this internal bearing surface 12.

La portée interne d'appui 12 et la portée externe d'appui 10 du flasque avant 1 sont décalées axialement l'une de l'autre d'une distance correspondant au retrait que l'on souhaite donner au vitrage 4 par rapport au côté avant 6 de la paroi 5.The internal bearing surface 12 and the external bearing surface 10 of the front flange 1 are offset axially from one another by a distance corresponding to the withdrawal that is desired to give the glazing 4 compared to the side before 6 of the wall 5.

Le châssis comprend également un flasque arrière 2 de montage qui comprend une couronne périphérique extérieure 17 s'étendant radialement au-delà de l'ouverture et en regard de la bordure périphérique 18 du côté arrière 7 de la paroi 5 en définissant une portée externe d'appui 19 en forme de couronne s'étendant selon un plan radial. La portée externe d'appui 19 est orientée vers l'avant et adaptée pour s'étendre radialement sur le côté arrière 7 de la paroi 5. La portée externe d'appui 19 du flasque arrière 2 et la portée externe d'appui 10 du flasque avant 1 sont au moins sensiblement de mêmes dimensions radiales, et sont adaptées pour définir entre elles une gorge en U de réception de la bordure 9, 18 de la paroi 5 délimitant l'ouverture.The chassis also includes a rear flange 2 of mounting which includes an outer peripheral ring 17 extending radially beyond the opening and facing the peripheral edge 18 of the rear side 7 of the wall 5 by defining an outer bearing surface 19 in form crown extending in a radial plane. The outer bearing surface 19 is forward and adapted to extend radially on the back side 7 of the wall 5. The outer bearing surface 19 of the rear flange 2 and the outer bearing 10 of the front flange 1 are at least substantially the same dimensions radial, and are adapted to define between them a U-shaped groove for receiving the border 9, 18 of the wall 5 defining the opening.

Le châssis selon l'invention comprend également un flasque intermédiaire 3 de montage qui définit une portée interne d'appui 21 orientée vers l'avant et adaptée pour s'étendre radialement sur le côté arrière 22 de la bordure périphérique 14 du vitrage 4. Cette portée interne d'appui 21 est également en forme de couronne, s'étend selon un plan radial, et présente une gorge 24 de réception d'un joint torique d'étanchéité 25, ménagée en creux selon la direction axiale vers l'arrière dans cette portée interne d'appui 21.The frame according to the invention also comprises a flange intermediate fitting 3 which defines an internal bearing surface 21 oriented towards the front and adapted to extend radially on the rear side 22 of the border 14 of the glazing device 4. This internal bearing surface 21 is also in form of crown, extends in a radial plane, and has a groove 24 of receiving an O-ring 25, recessed in the direction axial backward in this internal bearing surface 21.

Le flasque intermédiaire 3 présente un encombrement radial inférieur ou égal à celui de l'ouverture, ce flasque intermédiaire 3 pouvant passer et se déplacer axialement dans l'ouverture. Ainsi, le diamètre externe hors tout du flasque intermédiaire 3 est légèrement plus petit que le diamètre de l'ouverture de la paroi 5.The intermediate flange 3 has a bulk less than or equal to that of the opening, this intermediate flange 3 being pass and move axially in the opening. So the outer diameter off all of the intermediate flange 3 is slightly smaller than the diameter of the opening of the wall 5.

Le flasque intermédiaire 3 est assemblé avec le flasque avant 1 grâce à quatre boulons 26 régulièrement répartis angulairement et traversant des perçages 27, 28 en regard ménagés 27 à travers le flasque avant 1, et 28 à travers le flasque intermédiaire 3. Pour chaque boulon 26, le flasque avant 1 comprend, du côté avant, un logement 29 de réception de la tête d'une vis 26a de boulon, ce logement 29 formant l'extrémité du perçage 27. Pour chaque boulon 26, le flasque intermédiaire 3 comprend un logement 30 de réception d'un écrou 26b, ce logement 30 formant l'extrémité opposée du perçage 28. De préférence, ce logement 30 est adapté pour recevoir un écrou 26b hexagonal en empêchant sa rotation. Les perçages 27, 28 et les boulons 26 s'étendent parallèlement à la direction axiale et sont disposés autour et à l'extérieur radialement des portées internes d'appui 12, 21, et à l'intérieur radialement des portées externes d'appui 10, 19 et de l'ouverture. Les boulons 26 permettent donc le serrage axial du flasque intermédiaire 3 et du flasque avant 1, un vitrage 4 étant interposé et serré entre les portées internes d'appui 12, 21. Les boulons 26 sont accessibles du côté du flasque avant 1, c'est-à-dire du côté avant 6 de la paroi 5.The intermediate flange 3 is assembled with the flange before 1 with four bolts 26 evenly distributed angularly and through holes 27, 28 facing arranged 27 through the flange before 1, and 28 through the intermediate flange 3. For each bolt 26, the front flange 1 comprises, on the front side, a housing 29 for receiving the head of a screw 26a bolt, this housing 29 forming the end of the hole 27. For each bolt 26, the intermediate flange 3 comprises a housing 30 for receiving a nut 26b, this housing 30 forming the opposite end of the bore 28. From preferably, this housing 30 is adapted to receive a hexagonal nut 26b in preventing its rotation. Holes 27, 28 and bolts 26 extend parallel to the axial direction and are arranged around and outside radially internal bearing surfaces 12, 21, and radially inside external bearing surfaces 10, 19 and the opening. The bolts 26 therefore allow the axial clamping of the intermediate flange 3 and the front flange 1, a glazing 4 being interposed and clamped between the internal bearing surfaces 12, 21. The bolts 26 are accessible from the side of the front flange 1, that is to say the front side 6 of the wall 5.

Le flasque avant 1 comprend un évidement 31 s'étendant autour de la portée interne d'appui 12 et axialement vers l'avant à partir de cette portée interne d'appui 12 pour définir une face cylindrique 32 orientée vers l'intérieur vers le vitrage 4. De même, le flasque intermédiaire 3 comprend un évidement 33 s'étendant autour de la portée d'appui 21 et axialement vers l'arrière à partir de cette portée interne d'appui 21 pour définir une face cylindrique 34 orientée vers l'intérieur vers le vitrage 4. Les deux évidements 31, 33 sont adaptés pour définir entre eux un logement 35 de réception d'une cale cylindrique 36 de maintien périphérique radial du vitrage 4, cette cale cylindrique 36 venant sur sa face externe en appui contre les faces cylindriques 32, 34 et sur sa face interne en appui contre le chant périphérique externe 37 du vitrage 4. La cale cylindrique 36 s'étend continûment en regard du chant 37 périphérique externe du vitrage 4. Elle s'étend aussi axialement dans les logements 31, 33 et présente des fentes (figure 6) pour le passage de nervures de rigidification s'étendant axialement dans les logements 31, 33 au voisinage des boulons 38 (figure 2). L'épaisseur de la cale cylindrique 36 est déterminée, selon le diamètre du vitrage 4 utilisé, pour que ce dernier soit maintenu en place et centré par rapport au flasque avant 1 et au flasque intermédiaire 3, le chant périphérique externe 37 du vitrage 4 venant en appui contre la face interne de la cale cylindrique 36.The front flange 1 comprises a recess 31 extending around the inner bearing surface 12 and axially forward from this internal bearing surface 12 to define a cylindrical face 32 oriented towards the interior to the glazing 4. Similarly, the intermediate flange 3 comprises a recess 33 extending around the bearing surface 21 and axially rearwardly from this internal bearing surface 21 to define a cylindrical face 34 oriented towards the glazing 4. The two recesses 31, 33 are adapted to define between them a housing 35 for receiving a cylindrical wedge 36 radial peripheral maintenance of the glazing 4, this cylindrical shim 36 coming from on its outer surface bearing against the cylindrical faces 32, 34 and on its face internal support against the external peripheral edge 37 of the glazing 4. The wedge cylindrical 36 extends continuously facing the edge 37 external device 4. It also extends axially in the housing 31, 33 and presents slots (Figure 6) for the passage of stiffening ribs extending axially in the housing 31, 33 in the vicinity of the bolts 38 (Figure 2). The thickness of the cylindrical shim 36 is determined, according to the diameter of the glazing 4 used to keep it in place and centered in relation to the flange before 1 and the intermediate flange 3, the external peripheral edge 37 of the glazing 4 bearing against the inner face of the cylindrical shim 36.

Avantageusement, le flasque avant 1 et le flasque intermédiaire 3 comportent des bossages 45, 46 s'étendant en saillie axialement par rapport à leurs faces en regard, de formes conjuguées, de façon à s'emboíter les uns dans les autres, et adaptés pour assurer un blocage en rotation et un positionnement angulaire approprié des flasques 1, 3 l'un par rapport à l'autre, et faciliter le montage des boulons 26. Il est à noter en outre que ces bossages 45, 46 s'étendent autour des évidements 31, 33 et se complètent tout autour de la cale cylindrique 36, de sorte qu'ils assurent aussi un maintien radial de la cale 36 et du vitrage 4 dans l'interstice entre les flasques avant 1 et intermédiaire 3. En variante non représentée, des échancrures peuvent aussi être ménagées en creux dans un flasque 3, 1 axialement pour recevoir les bossages 45, 46 de l'autre flasque 1, 3.Advantageously, the front flange 1 and the flange intermediate 3 comprise bosses 45, 46 extending axially projecting relative to their opposite faces, of conjugate shapes, so as to fit together into each other, and adapted to provide a rotation lock and a appropriate angular positioning of the flanges 1, 3 relative to each other, and facilitate the mounting of the bolts 26. It should be noted further that these bosses 45, 46 extend around the recesses 31, 33 and complete each other around the hold cylindrical 36, so that they also provide a radial hold of the shim 36 and the glazing 4 in the interstice between the flanges before 1 and intermediate 3. In variant not shown, recesses can also be hollowed out in a flange 3, 1 axially to receive the bosses 45, 46 of the other flange 1, 3.

Le flasque arrière 2 est en forme générale de couronne circulaire et son diamètre interne hors tout est supérieur ou égal à celui d'une portion cylindrique arrière 20 du flasque intermédiaire 3, de sorte que ce flasque arrière 2 peut être engagé autour de cette portion cylindrique arrière 20 du flasque intermédiaire 3. En outre, le flasque arrière 2 comprend une portion cylindrique interne avant 23 adaptée pour s'étendre entre la portion cylindrique arrière 20 du flasque intermédiaire 3 et le chant 11 de la paroi 5 délimitant l'ouverture. Le flasque arrière 2 est assemblé et serré axialement sur le flasque intermédiaire 3 grâce à quatre boulons 38 régulièrement répartis angulairement tout autour du flasque arrière 2, en étant décalés angulairement des boulons 26 d'assemblage et de serrage axial du flasque intermédiaire 3 sur le flasque avant 1.The rear flange 2 is in the general shape of a crown circular and its overall internal diameter is greater than or equal to that of a rear cylindrical portion 20 of the intermediate flange 3, so that this flange rear 2 can be engaged around this rear cylindrical portion 20 of the flange intermediate 3. In addition, the rear flange 2 comprises a cylindrical portion front internal 23 adapted to extend between the rear cylindrical portion 20 of the intermediate flange 3 and the edge 11 of the wall 5 defining the opening. The flange 2 is assembled and clamped axially on the intermediate flange 3 thanks to four bolts 38 regularly distributed angularly all around the rear flange 2, being angularly offset bolts 26 assembly and axial clamping of the intermediate flange 3 on the front flange 1.

Chacun des boulons 38 d'assemblage du flasque arrière 2 sur le flasque intermédiaire 3 comprend une vis 38a et un écrou 38b. Pour chaque boulon 38, le flasque arrière 2 comprend un perçage 39 traversant son épaisseur (à travers la portion cylindrique interne avant 23) et s'étendant parallèlement à la direction axiale. De même, un perçage 40 est ménagé parallèlement à la direction axiale à travers le flasque intermédiaire 3 et en regard du perçage 39 du flasque arrière 2, de sorte que la vis 38a du boulon 38 traverse ces deux perçages 39, 40. Le perçage 39 du flasque arrière 2 est doté d'un logement 41 de réception de la tête de la vis 38a, du côté arrière. Le perçage 40 du flasque intermédiaire 3 est doté d'un logement de réception de l'écrou 38b du côté opposé, et ce logement 42 a une forme -notamment hexagonale- adaptée pour bloquer l'écrou 38b en rotation. Les perçages 39, 40 et les boulons 38 s'étendent parallèlement à la direction axiale et sont disposés autour et à l'extérieur radialement des portées internes d'appui 12, 21, et à l'intérieur radialement des portées externes d'appui 10, 19 et de l'ouverture. En serrant les boulons 38, on assemble le flasque arrière 2 sur le flasque intermédiaire 3 et on serre axialement les portées externes d'appui 10 du flasque avant 1 et 19 du flasque arrière 2, l'une vers l'autre et sur la bordure 9, 18 de la paroi 5. Les boulons 38 sont accessibles du côté du flasque arrière 2, c'est-à-dire du côté arrière 7 de la paroi 5.Each of the bolts 38 for assembling the rear flange 2 on the intermediate flange 3 comprises a screw 38a and a nut 38b. For each bolt 38, the rear flange 2 comprises a bore 39 passing through its thickness. (through the inner cylindrical portion before 23) and extending parallel to the axial direction. Similarly, a bore 40 is provided parallel to the direction axial through the intermediate flange 3 and opposite the bore 39 of the flange rear 2, so that the screw 38a of the bolt 38 passes through these two holes 39, 40. The bore 39 of the rear flange 2 is provided with a housing 41 for receiving the head of the screw 38a, the rear side. The piercing 40 of the intermediate flange 3 is provided with a receiving housing of the nut 38b on the opposite side, and this housing 42 has a shape -particularly hexagonal- adapted to lock the nut 38b in rotation. The holes 39, 40 and the bolts 38 extend parallel to the axial direction and are arranged radially around and outside the staves internal support 12, 21, and radially inside the external bearing surfaces 10, 19 and the opening. Squeezing the bolts 38, assemble the rear flange 2 on the intermediate flange 3 and axially clamps the external bearing surfaces 10 of the front flange 1 and 19 of the rear flange 2, towards each other and on the border 9, 18 of the wall 5. The bolts 38 are accessible from the side of the flange rear 2, that is to say the rear side 7 of the wall 5.

Dans une variante non représentée, le flasque intermédiaire 3 et le flasque arrière 2 peuvent aussi comporter des bossages et/ou des échancrures s'étendant radialement par rapport à leurs portions 20, 23 en regard, de formes conjuguées de façon à s'emboíter les uns dans les autres et adaptés pour assurer un blocage en rotation et un positionnement angulaire approprié des flasques 2, 3 l'un par rapport à l'autre, et faciliter le montage des boulons 38.In a variant not shown, the intermediate flange 3 and the rear flange 2 may also comprise bosses and / or notches extending radially relative to their portions 20, 23 opposite, of conjugate forms so as to fit into each other and adapted to ensure rotational locking and appropriate angular positioning of flanges 2, 3 relative to each other, and facilitate the mounting of the bolts 38.

Les boulons 26 forment des premiers moyens de serrage axial qui sont des moyens de serrage axial du flasque intermédiaire 3 et du flasque avant 1 l'un sur l'autre du type vis/écrous accessibles du côté avant 6. Les boulons 38 forment des deuxièmes moyens de serrage axial qui sont des moyens de serrage axial du flasque arrière 2 et du flasque intermédiaire 3 l'un sur l'autre du type vis/écrous accessibles du côté arrière 7, et qui sont distincts des moyens 26 de serrage axial du flasque intermédiaire 3 et du flasque avant 1. Comme on le voit (figures 2 et 3), les têtes des vis 26a et 38a de ces boulons sont accessibles de l'extérieur du châssis. En outre, ces différents moyens 26, 38 de serrage axial et d'assemblage du châssis sont disposés à l'intérieur de l'ouverture ménagée à travers la paroi 5, c'est-à-dire n'interfèrent pas avec la paroi 5 et ne pénètrent pas à l'intérieur de la paroi 5. Le châssis selon l'invention est donc exempt d'organe de fixation pénétrant dans la paroi 5. De la sorte, le châssis selon l'invention peut être posé sur toutes sortes de parois 5, et il n'est pas nécessaire de ménager des perçages au préalable dans la paroi 5.The bolts 26 form first clamping means which are means for axially clamping the intermediate flange 3 and the flange before 1 on the other of the type screws / nuts accessible from the front side 6. The bolts 38 form second axial clamping means which are means axial clamping of the rear flange 2 and the intermediate flange 3 one on the other of the screw / nut type accessible from the rear side 7, and which are distinct from the means 26 axial clamping of the intermediate flange 3 and the front flange 1. As it is see (Figures 2 and 3), the heads of the screws 26a and 38a of these bolts are accessible from the outside of the chassis. In addition, these various means 26, 38 of axial clamping and the chassis are arranged inside the opening provided for through the wall 5, that is to say do not interfere with the wall 5 and do not penetrate inside the wall 5. The frame according to the invention is therefore free of parts In this way, the frame according to the invention can be placed on all kinds of walls 5, and it is not necessary to holes in the wall beforehand 5.

Par ailleurs, le vitrage 4 étant rond, il est à noter que chaque flasque de montage 1, 2, 3 est en forme générale de couronne circulaire. D'autres formes non circulaires sont possibles.Moreover, the glazing 4 being round, it should be noted that each mounting flange 1, 2, 3 is in the general shape of a circular ring. other non-circular shapes are possible.

Les positions des boulons 26 de serrage axial du flasque intermédiaire 3 sur le flasque avant 1 sont décalées angulairement, par exemple d'environ 45° par rapport aux positions des boulons 38 de serrage axial du flasque arrière 2 sur le flasque intermédiaire 3. Le flasque avant 1 définit un évidement 43 permettant le passage de l'extrémité libre de la vis 38a des boulons de serrage axial du flasque arrière 2 sur le flasque intermédiaire 3. De même, un espace 44 est ménagé en regard de l'extrémité libre des vis 26a de serrage axial du flasque intermédiaire 3 et du flasque avant 1, et le flasque arrière 2 peut présenter un évidement facilitant le passage de l'extrémité libre des vis 26a si nécessaire.The positions of the bolts 26 for axial clamping of the flange intermediate 3 on the front flange 1 are offset angularly, for example approximately 45 ° relative to the positions of the bolts 38 for axial clamping of the flange 2 on the intermediate flange 3. The front flange 1 defines a recess 43 allowing the passage of the free end of the screw 38a of the clamping bolts axial end of the rear flange 2 on the intermediate flange 3. Likewise, a space 44 is arranged opposite the free end of the screws 26a for axial clamping of the flange intermediate 3 and the front flange 1, and the rear flange 2 may have a recess facilitating the passage of the free end of the screws 26a if necessary.

Chacun des flasques 1, 2, 3, peut être fabriqué par moulage et, en particulier, être issu de fonderie, en alliage métallique.Each of the flanges 1, 2, 3 can be manufactured by molding and, in particular, be derived from foundry, metal alloy.

Le châssis selon l'invention permet de monter un oculus dans une ouverture ménagée à travers une paroi 5 de façon extrêmement simple. Pour ce faire, on choisit un châssis d'oculus de formes et dimensions adaptées à celle de l'ouverture à équiper. On choisit un vitrage 4 de formes et dimensions adaptées à celles du châssis d'oculus. On serre axialement le vitrage 4 entre le flasque avant 1 et le flasque intermédiaire 3 grâce aux boulons 26, après avoir inséré des joints toriques d'étanchéité 16, 25 dans les gorges 15, 24 correspondantes. On place ensuite ce montage dans l'ouverture en insérant le vitrage 4 et le flasque intermédiaire 3 dans l'ouverture du côté avant de la paroi 5 jusqu'à ce que la portée externe d'appui 10 du flasque avant 1 vienne au contact de la bordure 9 du côté avant de la paroi 5. On place ensuite le flasque arrière 2 autour de la portion cylindrique arrière 20 du flasque intermédiaire 3, puis on serre le flasque arrière 2 sur le flasque intermédiaire 3 grâce aux boulons 38. Ce faisant, la paroi 5 est pincée entre les portées externes d'appui 10, 19 et l'oculus est fixé rigidement à la paroi 5.The frame according to the invention makes it possible to mount an oculus in an opening formed through a wall 5 in an extremely simple manner. To do this, we choose an oculus frame of shapes and dimensions adapted to that of the opening to equip. We choose a glazing 4 of shapes and dimensions adapted to those of the oculus frame. The glazing 4 is clamped axially between the flange before 1 and the intermediate flange 3 thanks to the bolts 26, after having inserted sealing O-rings 16, 25 into the grooves 15, 24 corresponding. This assembly is then placed in the opening by inserting the glazing 4 and the intermediate flange 3 in the opening of the front side of the wall 5 until the outer support surface 10 of the front flange 1 comes into contact of the edge 9 of the front side of the wall 5. Then the rear flange 2 is placed around the rear cylindrical portion 20 of the intermediate flange 3, then tighten the rear flange 2 on the intermediate flange 3 with the bolts 38. This doing, the wall 5 is pinched between the outer bearing surfaces 10, 19 and the oculus is fixed rigidly to the wall 5.

Lorsque l'on place le vitrage 4 entre le flasque avant 1 et le flasque intermédiaire 3, on choisit au préalable une cale cylindrique 36 d'épaisseur appropriée que l'on place dans les évidements 31, 33. Une telle cale cylindrique 36 est par exemple formée d'une matière plastique rigide.When placing the glazing 4 between the front flange 1 and the intermediate flange 3, a cylindrical wedge 36 is first chosen of appropriate thickness that is placed in the recesses 31, 33. Such a wedge cylindrical 36 is for example formed of a rigid plastic material.

Dans la variante de réalisation représentée figures 7 à 9, la cale cylindrique 36 est remplacée par deux couronnes périphériques 47, 48 en acier résistant aux très hautes températures -notamment au feu-, à savoir une couronne avant 47 et une couronne arrière 48. La couronne avant 47 s'étend radialement entre la portée externe d'appui 10 du flasque avant 1 et le côté avant 6 de la paroi 5, puis vers l'arrière le long d'une partie du chant 11 de la paroi 5 délimitant l'ouverture, puis radialement entre le flasque avant 1 et le flasque intermédiaire 3, puis radialement entre la portée interne d'appui 12 du flasque avant 1 et le côté avant 13 de la bordure périphérique 14 du vitrage 4. La couronne arrière 48 s'étend radialement entre la portée externe d'appui 19 du flasque arrière 2 et le côté arrière 7 de la paroi 5, puis vers l'avant le long d'une partie du chant 11 de la paroi 5 délimitant l'ouverture jusqu'à rejoindre la couronne avant 47, puis radialement au contact de la couronne avant 46 entre le flasque avant 1 et le flasque intermédiaire 3, puis vers l'arrière le long du chant périphérique externe 37 du vitrage 4, puis à nouveau radialement entre la portée interne d'appui 21 du flasque intermédiaire 3 et le côté arrière 22 de la bordure périphérique 14 du vitrage 4. Les boulons 26 de serrage axial du flasque intermédiaire 3 et du flasque avant 1 traversent des lumières ménagées dans les couronnes 47, 48 à cet effet. Les couronnes 47, 48 sont assemblées et serrées l'une sur l'autre grâce à des boulons 50 traversant des lumières en regard des deux couronnes 47, 48. Les boulons 50 sont disposés entre le flasque avant 1 et le flasque intermédiaire 3 dans lesquels des logements sont ménagés en creux pour le passage de ces boulons 50. Les boulons 50 de serrage des couronnes 47, 48 sont répartis angulairement et décalés angulairement (figure 7) par rapport aux positions des boulons 26 de serrage axial du flasque avant 1 et du flasque intermédiaire 3, et également de préférence par rapport aux positions des boulons 38 de serrage axial du flasque arrière 2 et du flasque intermédiaire 3. Les boulons 50 serrent les couronnes 47, 48 dans leur partie s'étendant entre le chant périphérique externe 37 du vitrage 4 et le chant 11 de la paroi 5 délimitant l'ouverture. Ces deux couronnes 47, 48 pincent ainsi entre elles d'une part la paroi 5 et d'autre part le vitrage 4. De la sorte, elles maintiennent le vitrage 4 en place dans l'ouverture de la paroi 5 qui reste obturée même dans le cas où les flasques 1, 2 et 3 ont disparu, ou n'assurent plus leur fonction, notamment suite à une fusion sous l'effet d'une forte chaleur. Les couronnes 47, 48 constituent ainsi une sécurité en cas d'incendie empêchant tout appel d'air à travers l'ouverture. Les couronnes 47, 48 peuvent être conformées (déformées au montage et/ou embouties) pour passer entre les bossages 45, 46 de repérage angulaire entre les flasque 1, 3 si ceux-ci sont prévus. Néanmoins, de tels bossages peuvent être omis puisque les couronnes 47, 48 facilitent le positionnement angulaire des flasques 1, 2.In the variant embodiment shown in FIGS. 7 to 9, cylindrical shim 36 is replaced by two peripheral rings 47, 48 in steel resistant to very high temperatures - especially fire - a front crown 47 and a rear crown 48. The front crown 47 extends radially between the outer bearing surface 10 of the front flange 1 and the front side 6 of the wall 5 and then back along a portion of the edge 11 of the wall 5 delimiting the opening, then radially between the front flange 1 and the flange intermediate 3, then radially between the internal bearing surface 12 of the flange before 1 and the front side 13 of the peripheral edge 14 of the glazing 4. The rear ring 48 extends radially between the outer bearing surface 19 of the flange 2 and the rear side 7 of the wall 5, then forward along a part of the song 11 of the wall 5 delimiting the opening until joining the front ring 47, then radially in contact with the front ring 46 between the flange before 1 and the intermediate flange 3, then backwards along the edge external device 37 of the glazing 4, then again radially between the range internal support 21 of the intermediate flange 3 and the rear side 22 of the edge peripheral 14 of the glazing 4. The bolts 26 for axial clamping of the flange intermediate 3 and the flange before 1 pass through lights in the crowns 47, 48 for this purpose. The rings 47, 48 are assembled and tightened one on the other thanks to bolts 50 crossing lights facing both 47, 48. The bolts 50 are arranged between the front flange 1 and the intermediate flange 3 in which recesses are hollowed out for the passage of these bolts 50. The bolts 50 for tightening the crowns 47, 48 are angularly distributed and angularly offset (FIG. 7) with respect to positions of the bolts 26 for axial clamping of the front flange 1 and the flange intermediate 3, and preferably also with respect to the positions of the bolts 38 of axial clamping of the rear flange 2 and the intermediate flange 3. The bolts 50 tighten the crowns 47, 48 in their part extending between the singing external device 37 of the glazing 4 and the edge 11 of the wall 5 delimiting the opening. These two crowns 47, 48 and pinch between them on the one hand the wall 5 and on the other hand the glazing 4. In this way, they maintain the glazing 4 in place in the opening of the wall 5 which remains closed even in the case where the flanges 1, 2 and 3 have disappeared, or no longer perform their function, in particular following a melting under the effect of strong heat. The crowns 47, 48 thus constitute a safety in case of fire preventing any call for air through the opening. The crowns 47, 48 may be shaped (deformed during assembly and / or embossed) to pass between the bosses 45, 46 of angular registration between the flange 1, 3 if these are provided. Nevertheless, such bosses can be omitted since the crowns 47, 48 facilitate the angular positioning of the flanges 1, 2.

Pour le montage du châssis conforme à cette variante de l'invention, on met tout d'abord en place le vitrage 4 dans l'ouverture en le pinçant entre les deux couronnes 47, 48 que l'on serre avec les boulons 50. On monte ensuite le flasque avant 1 et le flasque intermédiaire 3 en les serrant grâce aux boulons 26. Puis on monte et on serre grâce aux boulons 38 le flasque arrière 2 sur le flasque intermédiaire 3.For mounting the chassis according to this variant of the invention, it is first put in place the glazing 4 in the opening by pinching between the two crowns 47, 48 that are tightened with the bolts 50. then the front flange 1 and the intermediate flange 3 by tightening them thanks to bolts 26. Then we go up and tighten through the bolts 38 the rear flange 2 on the intermediate flange 3.

Bien qu'ils ne soient plus nécessaires, les évidements 31, 33 des flasques 1, 3 sont conservés dans la mesure où la variante des figures 7 à 9 peut être considérée comme une option de protection renforcée contre le feu par rapport à celle des figures 1 à 6. Il n'est ainsi pas nécessaire de concevoir des flasques 1, 2, 3 différents et des moules différents pour chacune des variantes. Comme on le voit, le châssis selon l'invention est ainsi compatible avec l'incorporation de couronnes 47, 48 de sécurité anti-feu, et peut être rapporté sur de telles couronnes 47, 48 aisément.Although they are no longer needed, the recesses 31, 33 flanges 1, 3 are retained to the extent that the variant of Figures 7 to 9 can be considered as a reinforced fire protection option by compared to Figures 1 to 6. It is not necessary to conceive of flanges 1, 2, 3 different and different molds for each of the variants. As can be seen, the frame according to the invention is thus compatible with incorporation of fire protection crowns 47, 48, and can be reported on such crowns 47, 48 easily.

L'invention peut faire l'objet de multiples autres variantes par rapport aux modes de réalisation décrits et représentés. En particulier, la forme générale de l'ouverture du châssis et du vitrage 4 n'est pas nécessairement circulaire. En outre, le châssis selon l'invention peut comprendre plus de trois flasques de montage. Par exemple, le flasque avant 1 peut être lui même scindé en deux flasques dont l'un définit la portée externe d'appui 10 sur la paroi 5, tandis que l'autre définit la portée interne d'appui 12 sur le vitrage 4, à la façon du flasque arrière 2 et du flasque intermédiaire 3. Dans ce cas, d'autres moyens de serrage axial seront prévus de façon semblable. En outre, des moyens d'étanchéité peuvent également être prévus entre les portées externes d'appui 10, 19 et les bordures 9, 18 en regard de la paroi 5. Egalement, des moyens d'étanchéité peuvent être prévus entre le flasque arrière 2 et le flasque intermédiaire 3. Ainsi, le châssis d'oculus selon l'invention peut être réalisé sous forme intégralement étanche. Dans ce cas, il est préférable d'obturer les logements 29, 41 de réception des têtes de vis 26a, 38a par des bouchons étanches.The invention can be the subject of many other variants compared to the embodiments described and shown. In particular, general shape of the opening of the frame and glazing 4 is not necessarily circular. In addition, the frame according to the invention may comprise more than three mounting flanges. For example, the front flange 1 can itself be split in two flanges, one of which defines the external bearing surface 10 on the wall 5, while the other defines the internal bearing surface 12 on the glazing 4, in the manner of flange 2 and the intermediate flange 3. In this case, other means of axial clamping will be provided in a similar way. In addition, sealing means may also be provided between the external bearing surfaces 10, 19 and the edges 9, 18 opposite the wall 5. Also, sealing means can be provided between the rear flange 2 and the intermediate flange 3. Thus, the oculus frame according to the invention can be made in its entirety waterproof. In this case, it is preferable to close the receiving receptacles 29, 41 screw heads 26a, 38a by sealed plugs.

Les différents flasques 1, 2, 3 de montage du châssis selon l'invention peuvent présenter des formes différentes de celles représentées sur les figures, et ces formes peuvent être complexes. Ils peuvent être réalisés en tout matériau rigide pouvant être formé par moulage, notamment en alliage métallique ou en matière synthétique thermoplastique ou thermodurcissable. Le châssis d'oculus selon l'invention peut présenter des dimensions très petites, notamment un diamètre général compris entre 100 mm et 1 000 mm. Il est extrêmement peu coûteux à fabriquer et simple à poser.The different flanges 1, 2, 3 for mounting the chassis according to the invention may have different shapes from those shown on the figures, and these forms can be complex. They can be made in any rigid material that can be formed by molding, in particular metal alloy or in thermoplastic or thermosetting synthetic material. The chassis oculus according to the invention may have very small dimensions, especially a general diameter of between 100 mm and 1000 mm. He is extremely little expensive to manufacture and easy to install.
