The door is made from a number of articulated panels (3) with interlocking curved edge components (3a,3b) for joining the panels together and permitting an articulated movement between them. The hollow portion of each hinge assembly is filled by a locking strip (4) which limits the movement of two adjoining panels to 90 degrees and prevents separation.

Description

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

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

Selon le brevet GB 2072248, des rails de guidage sont fixés verticalement sur les montants intérieurs de la plate-forme du châssis du véhicule. Ces rails comprennent une partie verticale correspondant à la hauteur de l'ouverture, un rayon de courbure avec en prolongement une partie de rail horizontal. Les différents panneaux de la porte sont par exemple en matériau bois et présentent des profils complémentaires en feuillure permettant la mise en place d'un joint d'étanchéité entre les sections successives de panneaux. Par ailleurs, il est prévu aux extrémités du panneau supérieur, du panneau inférieur, et de certains panneaux intermédiaires de positionner des roulettes de guidage susceptibles de coulisser dans le chemin de roulement formé sur les rails. Ces roulettes comprennent un axe qui est fixé extérieurement à la section des panneaux. According to GB patent 2072248, guide rails are fixed vertically on the interior uprights of the vehicle chassis platform. These rails include a vertical part corresponding to the height of the opening, a radius of curvature with an extension of a horizontal rail part. The different panels of the doors are for example in wood material and have complementary profiles in rebate allowing the installation of a seal between the sections successive panels. Furthermore, it is provided at the ends of the panel upper, lower panel, and some intermediate panels to position guide rollers capable of sliding in the raceway formed on rails. These casters include an axle which is fixed externally to the section Signs.

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

Pour remédier à ces inconvénients, le demandeur a développé un nouveau concept objet de la demande de brevet français FR 9615407.To remedy these drawbacks, the applicant has developed a new concept subject of French patent application FR 9615407.

Selon cette dernière, la porte sectionnelle de fermeture, est du type comprenant une pluralité de panneaux agencés chacun avec une ou deux formes d'extrémité profilées permettant, après accouplement entre elles selon deux panneaux consécutifs, la formation d'une articulation non fermée en rotule des panneaux entre eux, lesdits panneaux étant associés à des moyens permettant leur déplacement d'une position verticale à une position horizontale pour autoriser l'ouverture ou la fermeture de porte, et elle se caractérise en ce que lesdites formes, agencées sur tout ou partie de la longueur des panneaux, sont profilées intérieurement pour autoriser sur tout ou partie de leur longueur le positionnement et logement d'axes de liaison associés aux moyens d'entraínement et de déplacement de l'ensemble desdits panneaux d'une part, et en ce que lesdites formes sont agencées pour autoriser la réception et l'emboítement d'une pièce complémentaire profilée constituant un cavalier réalisé en une ou plusieurs parties sur la longueur des différents panneaux et formant cache en assurant la finition fermée de l'articulation en rotule, d'autre part.According to the latter, the sectional closing door is of the type comprising a plurality of panels each arranged with one or two profiled end shapes allowing, after coupling together according to two consecutive panels, the formation of an unclosed ball joint of the panels together, said panels panels being associated with means allowing their displacement from one position vertical to a horizontal position to allow the opening or closing of door, and it is characterized in that said shapes, arranged on all or part of the length of the panels, are internally profiled to allow all or part of their length, the positioning and housing of connecting axes associated with the means on the one hand, and in this that said forms are arranged to authorize the reception and nesting of a profiled complementary piece constituting a jumper made in one or more parts along the length of the various panels and forming a cover ensuring the finish closed of the ball joint, on the other hand.

Ainsi, on a représenté aux figures 1A, 1B, 1C, le principe d'articulation des panneaux entre eux et leur montage dans une illustration schématique illustrée au titre de l'art antérieur défini par la demande de brevet FR 96.15407. Thus, FIGS. 1A, 1B, 1C show the principle of articulation of the panels between them and their mounting in a schematic illustration illustrated in the title of the prior art defined by patent application FR 96.15407.

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

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

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

Un tel agencement bien que fonctionnant de manière satisfaisante présente néanmoins certaines insuffisances avec des risques de désarticulation et d'enlèvement inopiné du cavalier lors du déplacement ou orientation des panneaux lors de la fermeture ou ouverture de la porte sectionnelle.Such an arrangement, although functioning satisfactorily, presents nevertheless certain shortcomings with risks of disarticulation and abduction unexpected jumper when moving or orienting the panels when closing or opening of the sectional door.

Dans le cadre de recherches complémentaires, le demandeur a voulu encore améliorer la fiabilité de montage et d'articulation des panneaux entre eux en évitant tout risque de désarticulation.As part of additional research, the applicant still wanted improve the reliability of assembly and articulation of the panels by avoiding any risk of disarticulation.

Ces recherches ont abouti à une conception améliorée des profils des extrémités des panneaux de la porte sectionnelle ainsi que d'une nouvelle conception de la pièce formant cavalier.This research resulted in an improved design of the profiles of ends of the sectional door panels as well as a new design of the jumper piece.

Selon une première caractéristique de l'invention chaque panneau de la porte sectionnelle à l'exception des panneaux supérieur et inférieur sont agencées avec des profils complémentaires s'emboítant et se guidant sur des profils complémentaires des panneaux adjacents , à la manière d'une rotule et en ce que ledit guidage de desdits profilés entre eux s'effectue selon une angulation telle qu'en position d'orientation angulaire à 90° d'un panneau par rapport au panneau adjacent la liaison soit effective, et en ce que la pièce formant cavalier est agencée avec un profil lui assurant une liaison et intégration dans l'un des profils des parties d'extrémités lors du basculement maximum d'un panneau par rapport à l'autre adjacent.According to a first characteristic of the invention each panel of the door sectional except for the upper and lower panels are arranged with complementary profiles fitting and being guided on complementary profiles adjacent panels, in the manner of a ball joint and in that said guide said sections between them is effected at an angle such that in position 90 ° angular orientation of a panel relative to the adjacent panel the connection is effective, and in that the jumper piece is arranged with a profile ensuring a connection and integration into one of the profiles of the end parts during maximum tilting of one panel with respect to the adjacent one.

Selon une autre caractéristique, les formes des parties d'extrémité profilées des panneaux sont du type susceptibles de rccevoir au moins une pièce formant cavalier et cache, profilée en U présentant des ailes formant lèvres à capacité élastique de déformation avec une face de fond et de raccordement et dont la face extérieure à profil sphériquc s'emboítant dans les formes sphériques complémentaires et formant l'articulation, la pièce formant cavalier étant remarquable en ce qu'elle est agencée entre ses ailes avec un profil de raccordement curviligne de faible épaisseur et une patte de profil curviligne de grande longueur dans la base prend naissance à la zone de raccordement entre l'une des ailes et la face de fond, et l'extrémité étant débordante très sensiblement au-delà du plan de la jonction entre l'autre aile et la face de fond, et en ce que ladite patte définit avec la face de fond un intervalle ou cavité de profil curviligneAccording to another characteristic, the shapes of the profiled end parts panels are of the type likely to receive at least one part forming rider and cover, U-shaped with wings forming lips with capacity deformation elastic with a bottom and connection face and the face of which outer with spherical profile fitting into spherical shapes complementary and forming the joint, the rider part being remarkable in that it is arranged between its wings with a curvilinear connection profile of thin and a long curved profile leg in the base begins at the connection zone between one of the wings and the bottom face, and the end being projecting very substantially beyond the plane of the junction between the other wing and the bottom face, and in that said tab defines with the bottom face a curvilinear profile gap or cavity

Ces caractéristiques et d'autres encore ressortiront bien de la suite de la description.These characteristics and others will become clear from the rest of the description.

    La porte sectionnelle comprend plusieurs panneaux (3) montés et accouplés consécutivement. Chaque panneau (3) à l'exception des panneaux d'extrémité supérieur et inférieur est agencé avec des formes d'extrémités profilés complémentaires s'emboítant et se guidant sur des profils complémentaires des panneaux adjacents à la manière d'une rotule, le guidage s'effectuant selon une angulation telle qu'en position d'orientation angulaire de 90° d'un panneau par rapport au panneau adjacent la liaison soit effectuée. The sectional door includes several panels (3) mounted and coupled consecutively. Each panel (3) except the end panels upper and lower is arranged with profiled end shapes complementary fitting and being guided on complementary profiles of adjacent panels in the manner of a ball joint, guiding being carried out according to a angulation such that in a 90 ° angular orientation position of a panel by report to the adjacent panel the link is made.

    Plus particulièrement, chaque panneau (3) comprend à une première extrémité une zone d'extrémité (3a) supérieure et à la seconde extrémité une zone d'extrémité inférieure (3b) qui sont susceptibles de s'imbriquer dans les formes du panneau adjacent (3b - 3a) tout en assurant sur une large section angulaire une continuité de liaison et de guidage.More particularly, each panel (3) comprises at a first end an upper end zone (3a) and at the second end an end zone lower (3b) which are likely to nest in the shapes of the panel adjacent (3b - 3a) while ensuring continuity over a wide angular section binding and guiding.

    Selon l'invention, la première forme d'extrémité (3a) est agencée avec une face de référence (3a1) formant siège curviligne présentant une ou des zoncs en saillie (3a2) en débordement vers l'intérieur à partir desquelles est disposé une zone (3a3) en fourchette curviligne, non fermée, définissant avec la forme en siège un espace (3a4) également curviligne. Les zones de liaison et en saillie (3a2) sont rigides.According to the invention, the first end form (3a) is arranged with a reference face (3a1) forming a curvilinear seat having one or more protruding rods (3a2) projecting inwards from which a zone (3a3) is arranged curvilinear fork, not closed, defining with the seat shape a space (3a4) also curvilinear. The connecting and projecting zones (3a2) are rigid.

    Par ailleurs, la second zone d'extrémité (3b) est agencée avec une face de référence (3b1) formant siège de configuration curviligne et présentant à une extrémité adjacente au plan de basculement des panneaux les uns par rapport aux autres, une zone de raccordement (3b2) à partir de laquelle est établi un profil (3b3) curviligne susceptible de coopérer avec la première forme d'extrémité (3a). Plus particulièrement, ce profil (3b3) non fermé est établi selon un secteur angulaire de l'ordre de 260° avec une ouverture (3b4) de l'ordre de 100°. Le profil (3b3) définit avec la face de référence (3b1) un intervalle (3b5) formant logement susceptible de recevoir la partie correspondante (3a3a) de la partie fourchette établie à l'autre extrémité du panneau, ainsi que représentée à la figure (3A) des dessins. En outre, le profil (3b3) est agencé avec deux saillies (3b6) débordantes et constituant des zones de butée des ailes du cavalier (4) d'obturation. La cavité intérieure (3b7) établie à partir du profil (3b3) permet la réception, le guidage des ailes (4a) du cavalier (4). Ce dernier est agencé entre ses ailes (4a) avec un profil de raccordement curviligne (4b) de faible épaisseur et une patte (4c) de profil curviligne de grande longueur dont la base (4d) prend naissance à la zone de raccordement entre l'une des ailes (4a) et la face de fond (4e) et l'extrémité (4f) étant débordante très sensiblement au-delà du plan de jonction entre l'autre aile (4a), et la face de fond. Ainsi ladite patte (4c) définit avec la face de fond (4e) un intervalle ou cavité de profil curviligne. Furthermore, the second end zone (3b) is arranged with a face of reference (3b1) forming a seat of curvilinear configuration and having at a end adjacent to the tilting plane of the panels relative to the others, a connection area (3b2) from which a profile (3b3) is established curvilinear capable of cooperating with the first end shape (3a). More in particular, this non-closed profile (3b3) is established according to an angular sector of around 260 ° with an opening (3b4) around 100 °. The profile (3b3) defines with the reference face (3b1) an interval (3b5) forming a housing capable of receive the corresponding part (3a3a) from the fork part established at the other end of the panel, as shown in Figure (3A) of the drawings. In addition, the profile (3b3) is arranged with two protruding projections (3b6) and constituting zones stop of the wings of the rider (4) shutter. The interior cavity (3b7) established at from the profile (3b3) allows the reception, the guidance of the wings (4a) of the rider (4). This the latter is arranged between its wings (4a) with a curvilinear connection profile (4b) of small thickness and a tab (4c) of curvilinear profile of great length, the base (4d) originates at the connection zone between one of the wings (4a) and the bottom face (4th) and the end (4f) being projecting very substantially beyond the junction plane between the other wing (4a), and the bottom face. Thus said tab (4c) defines with the bottom face (4th) an interval or cavity of curvilinear profile.

    Cette patte curviligne (4c) de grandc longueur est susceptible de s'engager et être guidée dans l'intervalle (3a4) établi sur la forme profilée (3a) d'extrémité du panneau.This curvilinear tab (4c) of great length is capable of engaging and be guided in the interval (3a4) established on the profiled form (3a) of the end of the sign.

    En se référant aux figures 3A, 3B des dessins , il apparaít qu'en position d'alignement de deux panneaux consécutifs, la patte (4c) du cavalier est susceptible d'obturer l'espace formée entre les parois des deux panneaux adjacents, tandis que la partie (3a3a) de la zone en fourchette (3a3) de la première zone d'extrémité pénètre intégralement dans l'espace récepteur (3b5) de la seconde zone d'extrémité du panneau.Referring to Figures 3A, 3B of the drawings, it appears that in position for aligning two consecutive panels, the rider's tab (4c) is likely to seal the space formed between the walls of the two adjacent panels, while the part (3a3a) of the fork zone (3a3) of the first end zone penetrates integrally in the receiving space (3b5) of the second end zone of the sign.

    En position d'ouverture angulaire d'un panneau par rapport à l'autre selon la figure 3B, on observe que la patte curviligne (4c) de la patte a pénétré quasiment intégralement dans l'espace établi (3a4) établi sur la première zone d'extrémité, tandis que la partie (3a3a) de la forme en fourchette a libéré partiellement un espace récepteur (3b5), tout en étant partiellement engagé.In the angular opening position of one panel relative to the other according to the Figure 3B, we observe that the curved leg (4c) of the leg has almost penetrated entirely in the established space (3a4) established on the first end zone, while the part (3a3a) of the fork shape partially freed up space receiver (3b5), while being partially engaged.

    La configuration des extrémités desdits panneaux associé au profil spécifique du cavalier assure en toute circonstance une liaison constante entre les 3 éléments de sorte qu'il n'y a aucun risque de désarticulation desdits panneaux.The configuration of the ends of said panels associated with the specific profile of the rider ensures in all circumstances a constant connection between the 3 elements of so that there is no risk of dislocation of said panels.

    En outre, l'emboítement respectif des différents composants en toute circonstance de manipulation offre une garantie de sécurité et de fiabilité..In addition, the respective nesting of the various components in all handling circumstance provides a guarantee of safety and reliability.
