Description
L'invention concerne un dispositif d'obturation d'un caisson de volet roulant comportant des parois avant, supérieure et arrière ainsi qu'une sous-face au niveau de laquelle est ménagée une fente délimitée par des bordures, interne et externe, et au travers de laquelle défile un tablier, ce dernier étant apte à s'enrouler à l'intérieur dudit caisson et comportant une lame finale à l'extrémité inférieure de laquelle est rendu solidaire, par l'intermédiaire de moyens de fixation, ledit dispositif d'obturation lequel adopte la forme d'au moins un profilé filant apte à coopérer, lorsque ledit tablier est remonté, avec les bordures interne et externe de la fente ménagée au niveau dudit caisson.The invention relates to a device for closing a box of roller shutter having front, top and rear walls as well as a soffit at the level of which is provided a slot bounded by borders, internal and external, and at through which runs an apron, the latter being able to to wrap inside said box and having a blade final at the lower end of which is made integral, by means of fixing means, said device shutter which adopts the shape of at least one running profile adapted to cooperate, when said apron is reassembled, with the internal and external borders of the slot provided at the level of said caisson.
La présente invention trouvera son application dans le domaine de la fabrication de volets roulants destinés à être implantés au niveau d'un bâtiment quelconque, notamment une habitation.The present invention will find its application in the field the manufacture of shutters intended to be implanted at the level of any building, including a dwelling.
L'on connaít de nombreux volets roulants correspondant à la description ci-dessus et destinés à équiper une porte, fenêtre ou analogue. Un tel volet roulant comporte un caisson à l'intérieur duquel vient s'enrouler et à partir duquel se déroule un tablier à même de défiler à l'avant de ladite porte, fenêtre ou analogue.We know many roller shutters corresponding to the description above and intended to equip a door, window or the like. Such a shutter comprises a casing inside which comes to wind and from which unfurls an apron able to scroll in front of said door, window or the like.
La tendance actuelle, consistant à réaliser des économies d'énergie, a conduit à concevoir des volets roulants au niveau desquels les échanges thermiques entre l'intérieur et l'extérieur d'une habitation sont particulièrement réduits.The current trend of saving money of energy, led to the design of rolling shutters at which thermal exchanges between the interior and the exterior of a dwelling are particularly small.
A ce propos, on remarquera que le caisson d'un tel volet roulant résulte de l'assemblage, de manière étanche, d'une paroi avant, d'une paroi supérieure et d'une paroi arrière ainsi que d'une sous-face, notamment définies en des matériaux sensiblement isolants. De plus, ce caisson surmonte des coulisses latérales pourvues d'un joint d'étanchéité autorisant un défilement étanche, à l'intérieur desdites coulisses, dudit tablier. Ce dernier comporte, en outre, au niveau de son extrémité inférieure, une lame finale équipée, là encore, d'un joint d'étanchéité. Finalement, on observera que la fente ménagée au niveau de la sous-face de ce caisson est, généralement, équipée d'une brosse ou analogue apte à limiter la pénétration de l'air à l'intérieur du caisson.In this respect, it will be noted that the casing of such a shutter results from the assembly, in a sealed manner, of a front wall, of a top wall and a back wall as well as a underside, in particular defined in substantially insulators. In addition, this box overcomes side slides provided with a seal allowing a scrolling sealed, inside said slides, said apron. This last has, in addition, at its end lower, a final blade equipped, again, with a seal sealing. Finally, we will observe that the cleft level of the underside of this box is, generally, equipped a brush or the like adapted to limit the penetration of air inside the box.
Il convient d'observer que la présence des joints d'étanchéité au niveau des coulisses latérales et de la lame finale empêche, de manière efficace, à l'air extérieur de pénétrer dans le volume interne du caisson, ceci lorsque le tablier est totalement déployé. Or, lorsque ce dernier est totalement enroulé, seule la brosse ou analogue constitue une barrière à la pénétration de l'air dans le volume interne de ce caisson. A ce propos, on remarquera que l'efficacité de cette brosse est toute relative de sorte que des échanges thermiques se produisent encore entre l'intérieur et l'extérieur du caisson, plus particulièrement au niveau de ladite fente, entraínant des pertes sensibles de calories.It should be noted that the presence of seals at the level of the side slides and the final blade prevents, effectively, to the outside air to penetrate the internal volume of the box, this when the apron is fully deployed. When the latter is totally wound, only the brush or the like constitutes a barrier to air penetration into the internal volume of this box. At this About, we will notice that the effectiveness of this brush is all relative so that heat exchanges occur still between the inside and the outside of the box, more particularly at the level of said slot, resulting in sensible losses of calories.
L'on connaít, encore, au travers du document DE-35 37 301 un dispositif d'obturation adoptant la forme d'un profilé équipant la lame finale du tablier d'un volet roulant. Ce profilé comporte deux ailes aptes à venir coopérer avec les bordures d'une fente ménagée entre un cadre de fenêtre et la paroi avant d'un caisson de volet roulant. Ce profilé est équipé d'un pied adoptant une forme en « T » complémentaire à celle d'une rainure que comporte la lame finale et avec laquelle ledit pied coopère en vue du montage dudit profilé sous cette lame finale.It is known from document DE-35 37 301 shutter device adopting the shape of a profile equipping the final blade of the apron of a rolling shutter. This profile has two wings able to come to cooperate with the borders a slot between a window frame and the front wall a shutter box. This profile is equipped with a foot adopting a "T" shape complementary to that of a groove that includes the final blade and with which said foot cooperates for mounting said section under this final blade.
La mise en place d'un tel profilé est réalisée par l'engagement de son pied dans la rainure de la lame finale. Un tel engagement est assuré par l'introduction de ce pied à l'intérieur de la rainure, au niveau de l'une des extrémités latérales de cette dernière. Ensuite et par glissement dans cette rainure, ledit profilé est amené dans sa position de service. Aussi, la mise en place ainsi que le retrait d'un tel dispositif d'obturation impose de retirer la lame finale du volet roulant hors des coulisses de guidage du tablier.The establishment of such a profile is achieved by the commitment of his foot in the groove of the final blade. Such a commitment is ensured by the introduction of this foot inside the groove, at one of the lateral ends of this last. Then and by sliding in this groove, said profile is brought into its service position. Also, the setting place as well as the removal of such a closure device requires the final blade of the shutter to be removed from guiding slides of the apron.
L'on connaít, encore, du document FR-1.496.537 un élément terminal pour volets ou rideaux roulants. Un tel élément terminal comporte une butée d'arrêt et est destiné à réaliser la finition ou l'habillage de l'extrémité inférieure d'une lame finale. Cet élément se présente sous la forme d'une pièce en « U » destinée à être emboítée par-dessus l'extrémité inférieure d'une lame finale. Cette pièce en « U » comporte deux ailes, venant se positionner de part et d'autre de cette lame finale, et raccordées entre elles par une rainure médiane. A partir de cette dernière s'étend un rebord formant crochet apte à coopérer avec un bord recourbé que comporte ladite lame finale à son extrémité inférieure, ceci en vue de réaliser un verrouillage de cet élément terminal sur ladite lame.We know, again, of document FR-1.496.537 an element terminal for shutters or rolling shutters. Such an element terminal has a stop and is intended to carry out the finishing or dressing the lower end of a blade final. This element is in the form of a "U" shaped Intended to be fitted over the lower end of a final blade. This "U" -shaped piece has two wings, coming to be positioned on both sides of this final blade, and connected together by a middle groove. From the latter extends a hook forming flange adapted to cooperate with a curved edge that includes said final blade to its lower end, this in order to achieve a locking of this terminal element on said blade.
La présente invention se veut à même d'apporter une solution aux inconvénients rencontrés pour les dispositifs d'obturation de l'état de la technique au travers d'un nouveau dispositif particulièrement astucieux apte à rendre le caisson étanche en assurant l'obturation de ce dernier au niveau de la fente de sa sous-face.The present invention is intended to provide a solution to the disadvantages encountered for shutter devices of the state of the art through a new device particularly clever able to make the waterproof case in ensuring the closure of the latter at the slot of its under face.
A cet effet, la présente invention concerne un dispositif d'obturation d'un caisson de volet roulant comportant des parois avant, supérieure et arrière ainsi qu'une sous-face au niveau de laquelle est ménagée une fente délimitée par des bordures, interne et externe, et au travers de laquelle défile un tablier, ce dernier étant apte à s'enrouler à l'intérieur dudit caisson et comportant une lame finale à l' extrémité inférieure de laquelle est rendu solidaire, par l'intermédiaire de moyens de fixation, ledit dispositif d'obturation lequel adopte la forme de deux profilés filant aptes à coopérer, lorsque ledit tablier est remonté, avec les bordures interne et externe de la fente ménagée au niveau dudit caisson, chacun de ces profilés comportant au moins une aile s'étendant selon une direction perpendiculaire au plan médian de la lame finale. Ce dispositif est caractérisé par le fait que les deux profilés comportent, chacun, des moyens d'accrochage aptes à coopérer avec des moyens d'accrochage complémentaires équipant l'extrémité inférieure de ladite lame finale, lesdits profilés étant complétés par des moyens aptes à réaliser leur verrouillage sur cette dernière et définissant, en combinaison avec lesdits moyens d'accrochage, lesdits moyens de fixation.For this purpose, the present invention relates to a device shutter of a roller shutter box having walls front, upper and rear as well as an underside at the level of which is provided a slot delimited by borders, internal and external, and through which runs an apron, the latter being able to wind inside said box and having a final blade at the lower end of which is made solidary, by means of fixation, said closure device which adopts the form of two running profiles adapted to cooperate, when said apron is reassembled, with the internal and external edges of the slot arranged at the level of said box, each of these sections having at least one wing extending in one direction perpendicular to the median plane of the final blade. These measures is characterized in that the two profiles comprise, each, attachment means able to cooperate with means complementary shackles equipping the lower end of said final blade, said profiles being completed by means capable of locking them on the latter and defining, in combination with said hooking means, said fixing means.
Selon un premier mode de réalisation, l'aile de chacun des profilés comporte, au niveau de l'une de ses bordures longitudinale, un prolongement qui lui est perpendiculaire, lui-même pourvu d'un retour s'étendant parallèlement à ladite aile de manière à définir une rainure apte à coopérer avec les moyens d'accrochage complémentaires de ladite lame finale définis par un rebord d'accrochage résultant de la présence d'une rainure en « T » au niveau du chant inférieur de ladite lame finale.According to a first embodiment, the wing of each of the profiles includes, at one of its borders longitudinal, an extension perpendicular to it, itself provided with a return extending parallel to said wing in order to define a groove able to cooperate with the means complementary hooking of said final blade defined by a hooking flange resulting from the presence of a groove in "T" at the lower edge of said final blade.
Dans ce cas, lesdits moyens de verrouillage adoptent la forme d'un profilé de blocage prévu apte à être inséré dans la rainure en « T » de la lame finale, entre les prolongements perpendiculaires des profilés préalablement accrochés sur le rebord d'accrochage de ladite rainure en « T ».In this case, said locking means adopt the form a planned locking profile that can be inserted into the groove in "T" of the final blade, between the extensions perpendicular to the profiles previously hooked on the snap flange of said groove "T".
Selon une caractéristique additionnelle, ledit profilé de blocage est alors pourvu, à son extrémité inférieure, de moyens d'appui sur l'aile desdits profilés tandis que son extrémité supérieure comporte des moyens formant redan et aptes à coopérer avec le retour parallèle desdits profilés. According to an additional characteristic, said profile of blocking is then provided, at its lower end, with support on the wing of said profiles while its end upper comprises redan means and able to cooperate with the parallel return of said profiles.
Un autre mode de réalisation concerne un dispositif d'obturation apte à équiper une lame finale présentant une rainure bordant, de manière longitudinale, son extrémité inférieure et étant définie, d'une part, par un prolongement des parois latérales de ladite lame finale au niveau de l'extrémité inférieure de cette dernière et, d'autre part, par une nervure en « T ». Cette dernière comporte un pied, situé dans le plan médian de ladite lame finale et raccordé à cette dernière au niveau d'un fond reliant lesdites parois latérales, ledit pied recevant, à son extrémité libre, une aile s'étendant de part et d'autre dudit pied et de manière perpendiculaire audit plan médian. Ladite rainure définit des moyens d'accrochage complémentaires aptes à coopérer avec les moyens d'accrochage de l'aile du profilé définis, au niveau de l'une de ses bordures longitudinales, par un prolongement qui lui est sensiblement perpendiculaire et qui est conçu apte à être engagé dans ladite rainure.Another embodiment relates to a closure device adapted to equip a final blade having a bordering groove, longitudinally, its lower end and being defined, on the one hand, by an extension of the side walls of said final blade at the lower end of this last and, on the other hand, by a rib in "T". This last includes a foot, located in the median plane of said final blade and connected to it at a bottom connecting said sidewalls, said receiving foot, to its free end, a wing extending on both sides of said foot and perpendicularly to said median plane. said groove defines complementary fastening means suitable for cooperate with the attachment means of the profile flange defined, at one of its longitudinal borders, by an extension that is substantially perpendicular and that is designed to be engaged in said groove.
Dans un pareil cas, les moyens de verrouillage sont définis, d'une part, au niveau de l'un des profilés, par une gouttière pourvue d'une ouverture latérale, et, d'autre part, au niveau de l'autre profilé, par au moins une languette apte à coopérer, lors du montage dudit dispositif d'obturation, avec l'ouverture de ladite gouttière, cette dernière ainsi que ladite languette s'étendant de manière perpendiculaire au plan médian de la lame finale et en dessous de cette dernière.In such a case, the locking means are defined, on the one hand, at the level of one of the profiles, by a gutter with a lateral opening, and, on the other hand, at the level of the other section, by at least one tongue adapted to cooperate, when mounting said shutter device, with the opening of said gutter, the latter and said tongue extending perpendicular to the median plane of the blade final and below.
Selon un autre mode de réalisation, l'aile des profilés comporte, s'étendant parallèlement au plan médian de la lame finale et en dessous de cette dernière, une nervure présentant une extrémité libre apte à coopérer avec un profilé en forme de goulotte définissant des moyens de verrouillage.According to another embodiment, the wing of the profiles has, extending parallel to the median plane of the blade final and below this, a rib presenting a free end adapted to cooperate with a shaped section chute defining locking means.
Selon une caractéristique additionnelle, ladite goulotte comporte des parois latérales dont l'extrémité libre est pourvue de moyens d'accrochage formant redan et aptes à coopérer avec des moyens de retenue équipant l'extrémité libre de ladite nervure.According to an additional feature, said chute has side walls whose free end is provided fastening means forming redan and able to cooperate with retaining means equipping the free end of said rib.
En fait, les nervures équipant lesdites ailes présentent un décrochement interne apte à épouser la nervure en « T » de la lame finale, ces décrochements internes étant rapprochés, voire amenés en contact pour prendre appui l'un sur l'autre, lors de la mise en place du profilé en forme de goulotte.In fact, the ribs equipping said wings present a internal recess adapted to marry the rib "T" of the final blade, these internal recesses being close together, or even brought into contact to support one another, when the installation of the profile in the form of a chute.
Selon une autre caractéristique de la présente invention, l'aile du profilé présente, à proximité de sa bordure longitudinale, un prolongement perpendiculaire au plan médian de lame finale et en direction de ce dernier, ledit prolongement définissant une butée d'arrêt apte à coopérer avec l'aile de la nervure en « T » en cas de traction du tablier sur ladite lame finale.According to another characteristic of the present invention, the wing of the profile present, near its longitudinal edge, a extension perpendicular to the median plane of the final blade and in direction of the latter, the said extension defining a stop stop adapted to cooperate with the wing of the rib in "T" in case of traction of the apron on said final blade.
Ledit dispositif d'obturation peut, encore, de manière avantageuse, être complété par un joint d'étanchéité équipant l'extrémité inférieure des moyens de verrouillage desdits profilés sur l'extrémité inférieure de la lame finale.Said shutter device can, again, so advantageous, to be completed by a sealing gasket the lower end of the locking means of said profiles on the lower end of the final blade.
Un tel joint d'étanchéité ainsi que les moyens de verrouillage sont réalisés en bi-matière, notamment par coextrusion.Such a seal as well as the locking means are made of bi-material, in particular by coextrusion.
Finalement, quel que soit le mode de réalisation de ce dispositif d'obturation, ses ailes présentent, par rapport à ladite lame finale, une longueur réduite de la profondeur d'engagement de cette dernière dans des coulisses latérales de guidage du tablier.Finally, whatever the embodiment of this shutter device, its wings have, compared to said final blade, a reduced length of the depth commitment of the latter in the backstage of guidance of the apron.
Les avantages de la présente invention consistent en ce que le dispositif d'obturation permet, lorsque le tablier du volet roulant est remonté et totalement enroulé dans le caisson, de refermer ce dernier de manière étanche au niveau de la fente de sa sous-face. On empêche, par ce biais, à l'air extérieur de pénétrer dans le volume interne dudit caisson ce qui permet de limiter, considérablement, les échanges thermiques entre l'intérieur et l'extérieur d'une habitation.The advantages of the present invention are that the shutter device allows, when the shutter apron rolling is reassembled and fully wound in the box, close it tightly at the slot of his underside. This prevents the outside air from penetrate the internal volume of said box which allows limit, considerably, the thermal exchanges between inside and outside of a home.
Ce dispositif d'obturation comporte une butée d'arrêt apte à coopérer avec l'extrémité inférieure de la lame finale du tablier en cas de traction exercée par ce dernier. Cette butée d'arrêt permet de retenir la lame finale empêchant cette dernière de disparaítre à l'intérieur dudit caisson en phase finale d'enroulement du tablier. This closure device comprises a stop stop adapted to cooperate with the lower end of the final blade of the apron in case of traction exerted by the latter. This stop stop holds the final blade preventing this last to disappear inside said box in phase Final winding of the apron.
Les moyens de fixation ainsi que les moyens de verrouillage dudit dispositif d'obturation autorisent, d'une part, une mise en place rapide et aisée de ce dernier sur la lame finale et, d'autre part, un retrait immédiat en cas de besoin, par exemple lorsqu'il s'agit d'intervenir sur le volet roulant, notamment au niveau de l'une des lames du tablier pour procéder à son remplacement.The fastening means and the locking means said shutter device authorize, on the one hand, a setting in place fast and easy of the latter on the final blade and, on the other hand, an immediate withdrawal in case of need, for example when it comes to intervening on the rolling shutter, in particular level of one of the blades of the deck to proceed to his replacement.
En fait, la conception particulièrement astucieuse des moyens d'accrochage et des moyens de verrouillage autorise la mise en place et le retrait dudit dispositif d'obturation alors que le tablier est toujours engagé dans ses coulisses de guidage. La présente invention permet, avantageusement, d'éviter le démontage de la lame finale, voire du tablier, lorsqu'il s'agit d'intervenir sur ledit dispositif d'obturation, notamment pour sa mise en place ou son remplacement.In fact, the particularly clever design of the means latching and locking means authorizes the implementation placing and removing said shutter device while the apron is always engaged in its guide slides. The The present invention advantageously makes it possible to avoid dismantling the final blade, or even the apron, when it comes to intervene on said shutter device, especially for its establishment or replacement.
Le joint d'étanchéité équipant les moyens de verrouillage permet de garantir l'étanchéité du volet roulant lorsque le tablier est totalement déployé. Un tel joint peut, de manière avantageuse, être réalisé, en même temps que ces moyens de verrouillage, au cours d'une même opération de coextrusion.The seal fitted to the locking means enables guarantee the tightness of the shutter when the deck is fully deployed. Such a seal can, advantageously, at the same time as these locking means, during the same coextrusion operation.
